This interview is interesting in that Judge Jeanine spends a little time on the “why” question; asking candidate Trump why he’s running for the GOP nomination. For many people this is still a key question and Trump’s answers therein reflect he really does feel compelled; in part because he believes in America and doesn’t see that same level of belief represented in the professional political class.
Donald Trump’s view that ‘We The People’ are being restrained from producing our best; the spirit of America wanting to deliver and strive, is well explained within the interview.  Trump is very passionate about this aspect.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

[…]  Air Force serviceman Spencer Stone, of Carmichael, California, Alek Skarlatos, a National Guardsman from Oregon, and their childhood friend, Anthony Sadler, a university senior, confronted El-Khazzani and wrestled his rifle, a handgun and nine magazines of bullets from him.

In the attack, El-Khazzani pulled out a box cutter knife, slashed Mr Stone in the neck and ‘almost cut his thumb off’ in the melee.

(HatTip Nation) This is so bad it almost has to be intentional.  The Jeb Bush campaign sends out a seriously flawed mailer noted here:

Obviously Donald Trump picks up on it:

Jeb Bush has a photoshopped photo for an ad which gives him a black left hand and much different looking body. Jeb just can't get it right!

Here we go again.  It’s that time of year when we get to see media elevated President Obama smack around the best the GOP can offer.  Mr. Mumbles and Sir Cry-a-Lot, again to be out maneuvered, out strategized and publicly ridiculed.

WASHINGTON – […] Obama also called upon lawmakers to craft a budget plan when they return. There are only a few legislative days left for them to do so – or the government could come to a screeching halt, as it did in 2014.
“Congress also hasn’t passed a budget,” Obama said. “They’ve had all year to do this.”

I’ve prompted the video to the budget part so you don’t have to suffer through the lead in:

The last time a federal budget was passed into law was September of 2007 for fiscal year 2008 and it was signed by President Bush. President Obama has not had a single day in office with a federal budget, EVER. (more…)

IRONY – Hillary will cut short her $50,000/week rental vacation to reconnect with the middle class.   You can’t make this stuff up….

WASHINGTON – Hillary Clinton will cut short a lavish vacation in the Hamptons to continue campaigning as her poll numbers slide amid controversy.
The former secretary of state will visit Ohio and Minnesota next week, according to the New York Times.
She and her family planned to spend the last two weeks of August in a Hamptons vacation home that cost $50,000 per week.
Instead, Clinton will attempt to draw attention away from the scandal over her private email use by touting her plans to “reshuffle the deck” in favor of the middle class. (read more)

The RNC is the Republican National Committee – or, put another way, the entire construct of the professional Republican Establishment and those who derive benefit/affiliation from the entity therein, the business end.  (National, State and regional political entities; polling consultants, campaign consultants, committee employees, etc).  The RNC gets the politician elected to Washington DC.

The GOP, or GOP(e), is the financial class or group of financiers who pay the RNC and derive benefit from the policy creation within Washington DC.  Wall Street banks and banking interests, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, K-Street Lobbyists, etc. are all part of the machine that tells the politicians what to do.
In essence, the RNC is the Board of Directors, the GOP are the company officers, and the politicians are the employees.  John Boehner and Mitch McConnell are the managers. Put them all together and you have the RNC/GOPe.
In this example “We The People”, or “the electorate”, are the customers, forced to buy -through the monopoly- their product offerings, whatever they present, every 2 to 4 years.
Got it?  Good.  Now here we go: (more…)

Charles Krauthammer and George Will continue to showcase their insane alignment with the DC Machine writ large.  You might think of them as pundits, until you realize their punditry is expressed alignment with the policy positions of: John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Scott Walker, Chris Christie, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, George Pataki and Jim Gilmore.
Laura Ingraham scratches the surface on the “anchor baby” issue, but more directly frames the discussion around the larger picture of failed immigration enforcement which has led to the crisis.
We are in this ridiculous place because the ‘Beltway Betters‘ have failed to enforce existing law, failed to secure the border, failed to secure employment law and lied to the American people about their intents therein.
First Krauthammer:

Here’s George Will’s latest ‘high-horse’ nonsense: (more…)

God put protective angels on that train.  Spencer Stone (U.S. Air Force), Alek Skarlatos (U.S. National Guard), Anthony Sadler (Pittsburg, CA) and Chris Norman (British Businessman). 

Amazing heroism… U.S. Air Force Spencer Stone charged a terrorist with a fully loaded AK-47, tackled him and suffered a severe cut to the back of the neck.  All of them are heroes. The terrorist, named in reports as Ayoub el-Qahzzani, had at least nine full magazines of ammunition holding almost 300 rounds.

FRANCE – A US solider who foiled a terrorist attack on a French-bound train was knifed in the neck while disarming the crazed gunman.

Spencer Stone (circled above), who is part of the U.S. Air Force, spotted the 26-year-old Moroccan acting suspiciously and heard him trying to arm his weapon in the toilet of the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris. (more…)
