As we have continued to outline, it is important to understand the interests of the CoC.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the Wall Street construct to look out for the best interests of stock valuations.  The CoC then pays lobbyists to bribe Senators for support for Wall Street’s best interests.

Peel all the skin off the onion, get to the rotten political core, and this is ultimately the source and origin of the GOPe angst against Main Street via attacking Donald Trump.

(Via Reuters) Washington lobbying by companies and groups involved in global trade boomed in the past nine months, records show, as Congress debated a landmark trade pact proposed by President Barack Obama, the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Lobbying expenditures by members of a pro-TPP coalition increased to $135 million in the second quarter of 2015, up from $126 million in the first quarter and $118 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to Senate Office of Public Records reports reviewed by Reuters. (more…)

Hillary Clinton spoke out in Greenville, South Carolina, today about the current controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood over two videos of officials talking about harvesting and selling fetal organs.

(Via GretaWire)  I am well aware of that. I don’t have all the facts but planned parenthood has apologized for the insensitivity of the employee who was taped and they will continue to answer questions for congress and others, but for more than a century planned parenthood has provided essential services for women. Not just reproductive health services, including access to affordable family planning, but cancer screenings, for example and other health checkups and I think it is unfortunate that planned parenthood had been the object of such a concerted attacks for so many years and it’s really an attack against women’s rights to choose, to make the most personal, difficult decisions that any women would face based on her faith and her medical advice that she is given. So I am hoping that this situation will not further undermine the very important services that planned parenthood provides. (link)

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that confirm that the IRS used donor lists to tax-exempt organizations to target those donors for audits.

The documents also show IRS officials specifically highlighted how the U.S. Chamber of Commerce may come under “high scrutiny” from the IRS.  The IRS produced the records in a Freedom of Information lawsuit seeking documents about selection of individuals for audit-based application information on donor lists submitted by Tea Party and other 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organizations (Judicial Watch v. Internal Revenue Service (No. 1:15-cv-00220)). (more…)

Donald Trump doesn’t want to run as a third party candidate.  Trump isn’t stupid or politically naïve, and he understands the complexity of trying to organize the apparatus and political machine that would be needed.  Trump has repeatedly stated he is running as a Republican, to gain the Republican nomination for President.  Period.

However, Trump is also not blind to the scope of the establishment GOP professional political interests that view him as a risk to their seat at the financial trough.

Let’s Trump the Establishment! We are no longer silent. We will Make America Great Again! https://t.co/u25yI6aIvG

Trump gives an interview to “The Hill“, one of the more notorious psy-ops publications, who facilitate both optics and narratives of the GOPe and the Democrat machines.  As you read their published article, remember they have a vested interest in stirring up worry, fear and anxiety about a third party run.

The AFL-CIO, Rick Perry, The White House, Democrats, Progressives and the Professionally Republican, all Fear The Donald !!

His passport requires no photograph; He once went to the psychic, to warn her; It is said he won a staring contest with his own reflection; Sharks have a week dedicated to him; His business card simply says “I’ll Call You”; He had an awkward moment, on purpose, just to see how it felt; Mosquitoes refuse to bite him purely out of respect….

Follow-Up To This Story

There’s a particular irony with the sister of Sandra Bland, Sharon Cooper, going on television to state she blames the Waller County Texas jail for her sister’s demise, when Sharon Cooper refused to aid Sandra while she was in jail for 3 days.

According to media reports the jail cell had a phone within it for use, and additionally allowed Ms. Bland to make at least five phone calls while she was held from a police desk outside her cell because she was having trouble with the phone.

You can hear one of those calls here.

Apparently, Ms. Bland was trying to put together $500 for a bond payment and none of her family, including her sister Sharon, were willing to assist.

Additionally, NBC in Chicago has found that Ms. Bland had a rather extensive history with driving violations including DUI’s and failure to pay fines associated with at least 10 infractions. (more…)
