Inside a Baltimore Sun article discussing reactions to the firing of Police Chief Anthony Batts, Councilman Nick Mosby, Baltimore State Attorney Marilyn Mosby’s husband, gives his opinion about the police union’s post-riot “After Action Report”.

Nick Mosby says he too wants to know why the police response to the rioting mob was so ineffectual and incompetent:

[…]  Mosby said he hadn’t yet reviewed the police union’s report. But he questioned why such a report hasn’t been issued by the police department itself or City Hall.

“Folks want answers,” he said.

That’s Rich.

Perhaps it was because Baltimore Mayor Rawlings-Blake wanted to give the rioting mob “space to destroy“.  Perhaps it was because the police department received instructions from Chief Batts not to stop the mob…..  (more…)

This is a good video to see a more relaxed candidate Trump without the confrontational tone generally inherent in national punditry broadcast.   Trump covers a lot of material within the questions, and you can see how he is able to communicate comfortably.

One of the aspects I took away from watching this was a stronger belief he really is in this race to win.  This is not Trump promoting Trump; this is Trump conveying he really does want to do this specifically to make America Great Again.

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 †

Anyone who has spent time following CNN reporting fully understand that ideology drives production content.  And, at times, their little “stories” get unexpected exposed…  Tommy Finnegan strikes again. 

(Via WFB)  CNN correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, who served as a White House fellow before embarking on a career in journalism, has been accused of falsely claiming that he helped perform brain surgery on an eight-year-old while covering the April earthquake in Nepal.

The Global Press Journal reported Tuesday that the girl identified in the CNN report as having undergone a craniotomy at the hands of Gupta never actually received surgery.

In a video that aired on CNN April 28, Gupta appeared next to stretcher-bound eight-year-old Salina Dahal, examining her CAT scan and commenting on her “dire” condition.

“She has a fractured skull, a blood clot, and her brain is swelling,” he said. “Without emergent surgery, she’ll have permanent damage. Or, like so many other earthquake victims, she’ll die.” Later footage showed Gupta, clad in scrubs, appearing to complete the surgery. (more…)

The Bush team is ultimately concerned that the electorate will connect the dots. The GOP establishment candidate is – The Chamber of Commerce candidate – is the Tom Donohue candidate – is the Wall Street Candidate.   (And therein lies the heart of the Mexico affiliation between Jeb Bush and Billionaire Carlos Slim)

Bottom Line: Jeb is Wall Street, Trump is Main Street.

Charlie Gasparino – Jeb Bush apparently doesn’t want people to know that he worked at Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct investment bank whose collapse led to the broader financial meltdown in 2008.

That’s the only conclusion I can come to after receiving a series of occasionally bizarre emails from his press people to what I thought was a fairly simple question about Bush’s work before he became a Republican presidential candidate. (more…)

Karl Marx did the exact same thing.  Redefining “family” allows the state to become the guardian.

Oh my !!

…”San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi has deflected blame in the release of a Mexican national now facing murder charges in the Pier 14 slaying by demanding to know why federal authorities returned him to San Francisco to face a 20-year-old marijuana charge in the first place.

The answer, it turns out, is that the Sheriff’s Department asked federal officials to do so”… (link)

Chuck Ross has more…. (Via Daily Caller) A bitter dispute over who bears responsibility for the release of Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the five times-deported illegal alien who fatally shot Kathryn Steinle last week in San Francisco, has taken a surprise twist with the revelation that the San Francisco sheriff’s department asked the Federal Bureau of Prisons for custody of the 45-year-old Mexican national back in March.

An expansive YouGov poll conducted July 4th-6th shows Donald Trump with a significant lead over Jeb Bush in the first national presidential poll released since Trump announced his presidency.

It’s an exhaustive and inclusive 102 page poll – run frequently by the economist that covers a variety of issues, topics and public insight concerns.   One of the other interesting notations within the poll is the “primary concern” for party voters when selecting a candidate.  For identified Republicans the economy is the #1 issue.  For identified Democrats the sustainability of Social Security is #1.  (more…)

Anticipate all national polls showing the same result. However, due to Media and GOP aversion to Trump, anticipate paid political polling silence (if possible) until the last minute for debate #1 lineup.  PPP’s newest (independent) North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump’s momentum just keeps on building. He’s the top choice of Republican primary voters in the state:

♦ Donald Trump 16%
♦ Jeb Bush 12%  (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Scott Walker 12% (CoC Unknown yet possible)
♦ Mike Huckabee 11%  ( Foster Friess √ )
♦ Ben Carson 9%  (Sheldon Adelson √ )
♦ Marco Rubio 9% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Rand Paul 7%
♦ Ted Cruz 6% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Chris Christie 5% (CoC Supported √ )
♦ Carly Fiorina 4% (CoC Unknown yet probable)
♦ Rick Perry 2% (CoC Supported √ )

1% each for Lindsey Graham, Bobby Jindal, and Rick Santorum, and less than 1% each for John Kasich and George Pataki.

Candidate Trump is also leading the field amid young NC voters (by a mile), and men.

It is important to determine, research and note the CoC (U.S. Chamber of Commerce)  support because it’s the only TRUE method to keep track of the Jeb Bush strategy. (more…)
