Polls Show GOP Nomination Picture Becoming More Clear After Upcoming Primaries

/2 Comments/in , /by

With new polls showing Donald Trump forging a lead in Indiana and receiving more support in California than his two rivals combined, the GOP front-runner is closing in on a number that a few weeks ago seemed out of reach.

“The latest polling numbers show that Trump will easily hit the 1,237 delegate threshold,” The Gateway Pundit boldly reported Saturday.

A Fox News poll in Indiana shows Trump with 41 percent support, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, at 33 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 16 percent. A Fox poll in California showed Trump at 49 percent Cruz is at 23 percent and Kasich at 20 percent.

Trump also leads in the states that vote Tuesday, according to polls cited by The Business Insider . . .

As Trump gathers more states, he becomes harder and harder to deny as the nominee regardless of the delegate math, wrote Brian Beutler in the New Republic.

“No matter how short of 1,237 Trump falls, his argument at the convention will be simple, and completely intuitive: I might not have won in a way that requires the Republican Party to give me the nomination — but I won a moral victory. It’s in your power to deny me the nomination, but woe betide the GOP if you do,” he wrote. (Read more from “Polls Show GOP Nomination Picture Becoming More Clear After Upcoming Primaries” HERE)

Cruz Teams up With Pro-Amnesty, Pro-Homosexual Kasich

/6 Comments/in , /by

24393777619_7e3344101c_kThe campaigns for Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and John Kasich announced in statements tonight that each candidate will cede states in the 2016 presidential race to one another in an effort to stop GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.

Cruz’s campaign manager Jeff Roe said in a statement that “to ensure that we nominate a Republican who can unify the Republican Party and win in November, our campaign will focus its time and resources in Indiana and in turn clear the path for Gov. Kasich to compete in Oregon and New Mexico, and we would hope that allies of both campaigns would follow our lead.”

Kasich’s campaign manager John Weaver wrote in a memo that, “We are very comfortable with our delegate position in Indiana already, and given the current dynamics of the primary there, we will shift our campaign’s resources West and give the Cruz campaign a clear path in Indiana.”

Officials in both the Cruz and Kasich campaigns told ABC News that the campaigns coordinated on the decisions announced tonight.

Trump tweeted Sunday night after the two announcements, “Wow, just announced that Lyin’ Ted and Kasich are going to collude in order to keep me from getting the Republican nomination. DESPERATION!”

TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHIEF/LOBBYIST MANAFORT: Yeah, We’re Secretly Working With Mitch McConnell

/2 Comments/in , /by

Paul Manafort is the new head of Donald Trump’s campaign. A longtime Washington insider and heavy duty lobbyist for third world dictators, Manafort appeared this morning on Fox News Sunday and inadvertently let slip some revealing truths.

MANAFORT: …What we’re trying to do right now is work with the Mitch McConnells who we didn’t depose in Kentucky even though he won the election and we worked with him to put a unity slate together. We’re trying to bring the party together. That’s what —


WALLACE: Wait, because I think this is interesting. You’re saying that you’re working with the Senate majority leader, who to a lot of the grassroots is a symbol of the problem?

MANAFORT: We’re working with party officials and that was an example on Saturday where we could have — we won the state. We could have gone in there and tried to be disruptive as Cruz does in these states.

Manafort’s lobbying firm has been termed “the torturer’s lobby”, having represented Filipino dictator Marcos, Angolan guerrilla leader Jonas Savimbi, ousted Ukrainian president and Putin ally Victor Yanukovych, to name but a few.

Yes, Donald Trump would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton, because a malfunctioning pencil sharpener would be vastly superior to Hillary Clinton.

But anyone expecting Trump to fight the McConnells and Ryans and the Chamber of Commerce is going to sorely disappointed. Trump has surrounded himself with Beltway cronies, lobbyists and insiders. He is a longtime Democrat and liberal.

That is what he is and will always be. Caveat emptor. (For more from the author of “TRUMP CAMPAIGN CHIEF/LOBBYIST MANAFORT: Yeah, We’re Secretly Working With Mitch McConnell” please click HERE)

The Governor of Maine Just Made a Major Accusation Against the Cruz Campaign

/1 Comment/in , /by

8571623018_3c19ac1680_bBy Harper Neidig. Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Donald Trump supporter, accused the Ted Cruz presidential campaign of reneging on a deal to support a “unity slate” of the state’s primary delegates, according to CNN.

“We reached a deal with Cruz’s national campaign to put up a unity slate that would honor the wishes of the thousands of Mainers who voted at caucus,” LePage said in a statement. “But Cruz’s Northeast Political Director David Sawyer lied to us and broke the deal. Sawyer stabbed us in the back, reneged on the unity slate, and betrayed the people of Maine.”

The Maine governor suggested the incident was part of a larger trend of deceit from the Cruz team.

“As we have seen throughout the country, Cruz’s national campaign is run by greedy political hooligans,” he said. (Read more from “The Governor of Maine Just Made a Major Accusation Against the Cruz Campaign” HERE)

Ted Cruz Wins Almost All of Maine’s Delegates at Convention

By David Wright. Once again, Ted Cruz’s campaign has used the Republican Party delegate selection process to outperform his results on Election Day in hopes of wrangling a nomination during the national convention in Cleveland this summer.

This time, in Maine, Cruz secured 19 of 20 delegate slots filled at the state convention over the weekend. The sweep frustrated rivals Donald Trump and John Kasich — as well as Maine Gov. Paul LePage, a Trump supporter — and prompted accusations of backstabbing and deception after an effort to agree to a “unity slate” of national convention delegates fell apart . . .

While the Maine GOP awarded 23 total delegates proportional to the vote in the state’s caucus on March 5 (12 to Cruz, 9 to Trump, 2 to Kasich), those delegates are bound to a presidential candidate only on the first nominating ballot at the national convention.

Watch: Fox Host Gets DNC Chair to Admit Clinton Was Only Sec. Of State Ever to Use Private Email Sever

/1 Comment/in , /by

hqdefaultDemocratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz struggled to defend former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server this morning during an interview on “Fox News Sunday.”

When host Chris Wallace asked the Florida congresswoman about about Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ persistent critiques of Clinton’s campaign and the scandal that surrounds it, Wasserman Schultz unsuccessfully tried to divert the conversation to the messy, “backwards” Republican race . . .

When pressed about the scandal, she said that Clinton used private emails “in the same way that previous secretaries of state have.”

“Whoa, you know that’s not true,” Wallace stopped her. “Nobody says that’s true.”

“Other than the private server,” Wasserman Schultz said. (Read more from “Fox Host Gets DNC Chair to Admit Clinton Was Only Sec. Of State Ever to Use Private Email Sever” HERE)

European Ministers Lay out Explicit Plan to Create United States of Europe

/3 Comments/in , /by

pAAUsLlkMzcGe9MPu7eqJdWhmB71ky6eEuropean ministers have explicitly laid out their intentions to create a federal Unites States of Europe, directly contradicting the British Prime Minister, David Cameron’s claims that Britain will not be sucked into a European superstate should the people of Britain vote to remain within the European Union (EU).

Presenting his renegotiated deal on EU membership in February, Mr Cameron insisted: “Britain will be permanently out of ever closer union, never part of a European super-state.”

But the emergence of a declaration signed in Rome by European ministers five months previously to Mr Cameron’s announcement reveals that the intention on the continent is to press ahead with the creation of a federal Europe.

Not content with merely monetary union and free movement, the declaration, signed by the speakers of the national parliaments in Germany, France, Italy and Luxembourg states that they want to integrate a broad spectrum of policies. “It should include all matters pertaining to the European ideal — social and cultural affairs as well as foreign, security and defence policy,” the declaration states.

It adds: “We are convinced that new impetus must be given to European integration. We believe that more, not less, Europe is needed to respond to the challenges we face. (Read more from “European Ministers Lay out Explicit Plan to Create United States of Europe” HERE)

Aspiring Campaign Worker’s Murder Leads to Retaliatory Killing in Philadelphia

/2 Comments/in , /by

elections-536656_960_720The execution-style killing of a Philadelphia man who was speaking to a political candidate about volunteering for his campaign led to a retaliatory shooting that left one teenager dead and another wounded, police said late Sunday.

“We do believe these are two rivaling factions,’ Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters. “What they’re fighting over we haven’t pinned that down right now, but we are not going to let this pass us by, by not assuming that it’s gang related because everything suggests that it is.”

The first shooting took place at around 3:30 p.m. in the Cedarbrook section of the city. Witnesses said the unidentified 21-year-old victim was talking with Chris Rabb, a Democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania House of Representatives when someone approached the victim from behind and shot him.

Chris Visco, Rabb’s campaign manager, told Philly.com the victim had told Rabb he was going to be a poll worker during Tuesday’s primary election, but also expressed interest in volunteering for Rabb’s campaign. Visco added the victim died with a piece of Rabb campaign literature in his hand.

“One of the people that was with (Rabb) handed him a piece of literature, took his phone number, and another young man came up behind him and shot him execution style in the head,” Visco told WPVI.

At the end of this month, Wofford and Charlton, ages 90 and 40, will “join hands, vowing to be bound together.”

CDC Official Warned Staff of Health, Safety Risks During Influx of Illegal Alien Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

4556668580_e7c724750b_bA government official warned employees deploying for the influx of illegal immigrant minors about health and safety risks because the new arrivals would have tuberculosis and some were young adults—not children—like the Obama administration proclaimed, according to records obtained by Judicial Watch. “We might as well plan on many of the kids having TB,” states a June 26, 2014 guidance e-mail from a Centers for Disease Control (CDC) environmental health scientist, Alaric C. Denton, as the agency prepared to handle the crisis. “Most of these kids are not immunized, so we need to make sure all our staff are immunized.” Denton, who is stationed at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, predicts in the directive that the agency will be overwhelmed pretty quickly and that screening requirements will be hard to keep up with.

Judicial Watch had to sue the CDC’s umbrella agency, the Department of Health and Human Services, (HHS) for the records. Though chunks have been redacted, the documents contradict the Obama administration’s public statements dismissing possible health and safety risks created by the tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) fleeing violence in Central America. The CDC official reveals in the documents obtained by JW as a result of the lawsuit that “some of these kids are not really kids they are young adults, and we should be wary of personal safety.” JW reported this early on, when the first group of UACs arrived through the Mexican border in the summer of 2014. Homeland Security sources directly involved with the mess told JW that holding centers were jam-packed, rampant with diseases and sexually active teenagers. A veteran Border Patrol officer who heads the agency’s Tucson sector quickly established that many of the UACs were not little kids but rather 17-year-olds with possible ties to gang members in the U.S. (Read more from “CDC Official Warned Staff of Health, Safety Risks During Influx of Illegal Alien Minors” HERE)

Prince Employed C.S. Lewis’ Line of Reasoning in Defense of Jesus’ Claims

/1 Comment/in , /by

Prince_at_CoachellaPrince fans may be surprised to learn the role faith played in his life. The pop star reportedly read the Bible consistently and thought deeply about man’s place in the world . . .

The singer, who became a Jehovah’s Witness in 2001, employed a similar line of reasoning to Christian apologist C.S. Lewis, who famously observed that based on the claims He made about Himself, Jesus was either a “lunatic, liar or Lord.”

While the lyrics in several of Prince’s songs were sexual, many others had allusions to Christianity. Regarding sexuality, Prince told V Magazine, “We are sensual beings, the way God created us.”

A 2013 biographer noted while the singer was sexual he was “ultimately very conservative.” In 2008, while gay marriage was being debated in California and across the country, he voiced his opposition to it.

The singer chided Democrats for the notion that, “You can do whatever you want,” then tapping on his Bible and making reference to God judging the earth for sexual depravity in the past, apparently either in the time of Noah or Sodom and Gomorrah.

One of his most popular songs, Let’s Go Crazy (1984), begins with the artist accompanied by an organ solo speaking in pastor-like tones, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life. Electric word life, it means forever and that’s a mighty long time. But I’m here to tell you, there’s something else: The after world. A world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night.” (Read more from “Prince Employed C.S. Lewis’ Line of Reasoning in Defense of Jesus’ Claims” HERE)
