Fox is having trouble getting firm footing in the Trump debate fiasco when Kelly chums up with Michael Moore while seeming to the center of a fight with trump. www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/01/27/2874318/‘Love-Fest:’ Megyn Kelly Blasts Donald Trump, Flirts With Michael MooreThose of us who obsessively observe the media never thought we would see a day like yesterday, a day when someone finally got the better of Fox News and Roger Ailes. The infallible network proved itself fallible with two of the biggest strategic errors in the history of its existence. First, The Mighty Fox fired off a snarky but strategically stupid press release that played directly into Donald Trump’s hands. Then, an obviously rattled Megyn Kelly seeking solace from Trump’s withering spotlight, sought that solace in no less than anti-American filmmaker Michael Moore. To understand just how big of a blunder this is, we have to step back a few months. Ever since the first Fox News Republican primary debate took place back in August, Trump has been pounding the cable news network for what he felt was a gang tackle from the three moderators, Kelly, Bret Baier, and Chris Wallace, and there is no shortage of those on the political right who agree with him. Trump’s primary complaint was directed at Kelly, who didn’t so much ask a question as much as she attempted to paint the billionaire businessman and reality TV star as a degenerate sexist. To put it mildly, Trump took umbrage with the question and for the past six months the two have been feuding. To his credit, Trump has been openly attacking Kelly. Via Twitter and various interviews, he has criticized her directly. Kelly’s and Fox News’s response has been subtler, and some might say dishonest. “The Kelly File,” a primetime cable news juggernaut, is seen by many as a Anti-Trump Organ for Establishment Republicans. In the lead up to Thursday night’s debate, the final one before actual voting begins in Iowa, Trump has used every opportunity to again express his concerns about Kelly’s return as moderator. Fox News refused to budge on the issue. But Trump obviously found his way into Ailes’s head because Tuesday night the network made an unprecedented strategic blunder by releasing this statement: We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings. When a major presidential candidate is accusing your network of bias, unless you want to prove him 100% correct, this is about as tone-deaf and dumb as it gets. Knowing he had Fox by the short hairs, Trump waved the snarky press release and further burnished his brand as a leader and fighter by announcing his withdrawal from the debate. In short: Trump spent a half-year carefully crafting and building the Narrative that Fox News was out to get him, and with one press release, Roger Ailes blundered right into it.

URGENT REMINDER: Why Donald Trump Battles The Fox News Machine…Posted on January 26, 2016, by sundance Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism; Trump is not just exposing the immense number of faux-conservatives in media and political punditry; Trump is not just allowing us to see the scope of anti-American interest; no, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Heck, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons” simultaneously. theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/01/26/urgent-reminder-why-donald-trump-battles-the-fox-news-machine/

h/t Gunny G oskynews.org/?p=76426Statement from Secretary of State Paul Pate Regarding Misleading Mailer from Cruz for President CampaignDES MOINES – “Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a “voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses. Additionally, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office never “grades” voters. Nor does the Secretary of State maintain records related to Iowa Caucus participation. Caucuses are organized and directed by the state political parties, not the Secretary of State, nor local elections officials. Also, the Iowa Secretary of State does not “distribute” voter records. They are available for purchase for political purposes only, under Iowa Code.” – Paul D. Pate, Iowa Secretary of State

h/t BadBlue americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/wow-ted-cruz-campaign-threatens-iowa.html#.Vq0NpjAAMxU.twitterWow! Ted Cruz Campaign Threatens Iowa Voters With Public Shaming if They Don't Caucus on Monday!I swear I despise far left-wing public shaming and intimidation tactics, and guess what? Ted Cruz's campaign is fully down with them, going so far as sending targeted mailers threatening to out Iowa residents as scofflaw non-voters if they don't caucus in Monday's presidential caucuses. As Iowans prepare to head to the caucuses on Monday for the nation’s first votes in the presidential primaries, the campaigns are pulling out all the stops. The mailer sent out by one Republican campaign, however, might end up backfiring. Tom Hinkeldey, a resident of Alta, Iowa, tweeted a photo (which was later deleted because it included his personal address) on Friday evening of a mailer Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign sent addressed to his wife, Steffany. The mailer was a large card printed to look like a manila envelope on one side and was labeled in all capital letters, “ELECTION ALERT,” “VOTER VIOLATION,” “PUBLIC RECORD,” and “FURTHER ACTION NEEDED.” On the other side, the mailer said in red letters at the top, “VOTING VIOLATION.” The text then reads: You are receiving this election notice because of low expected voter turnout in your area. Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors’ are public record. Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well. A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday’s caucuses. The mailer then listed his and Steffany’s name, along with five of their neighbors...

If I remember correctly Thomas Sowell was one who penned a piece in the National review and the American Spectator is a conservative establishment site. spectator.org/articles/65335/growGrow Up!How can anyone be for this spoiled brat? Of all the many things said about Donald Trump, what was said by Roger Ailes, head of the Fox News Channel, said it all in just two words: “Grow up!” It is amazing how many people have been oblivious to this middle-aged man’s spoiled brat behavior, his childish boastfulness about things he says he is going to do, and his petulant response to every criticism with ad hominem replies. He has boasted that his followers would stick by him even if he committed murder. But is that something to boast about? Is it not an insult to his followers, if it is true? Moreover, his cockiness is misplaced, because he still does not have a majority among Republican voters, while you need a majority of all the voters to win any state in the general election. Trump has a showman’s talent for telling people what they want to hear. But you can listen in vain for a coherent argument from him, based on facts and logic, much less an understanding of the inherent limitations of the office of president. More than two centuries ago, Edmund Burke said: “Constitute government how you please, infinitely the greater part of it must depend upon the exercise of the powers which are left at large to the prudence and uprightness of ministers of state.” In other words, the personal character of the people to whom you entrust the powers of government matters even more than what kinds of government institutions there are. There have been some good kings and some bad presidents, as well as vice versa.

Trump: HGH For An InsurgencyAs predicted in this very forum back in June, the rise of Donald Trump has been many things, not the least of which is Best President Candidateentertaining. Hurricane Donald has had massive success shining a 100,000 lumen spotlight on the serious rift within the Republican Party as well as tightly winding the mainstream media’s undies. Two satisfying outcomes for this American. But those are far from his only accomplishments, one unintended consequence has also come with the rise of Trump. By Professor Liberty Mize, a contributing author of SHTFBlog He has inadvertently laid the groundwork for a legitimate independent run this Best Presidential CandidateNovember. Shockingly that ticket will not be headlined by Trump himself. Consider the following hypothetical. If we enter late April and Trump still has a stranglehold on the Republican nomination (still a massive if), and if Hillary is indicted (a shockingly less unlikely if), the vast majority of voters in this electorate will find themselves without a candidate. This is based on high negatives for each of the aforementioned major party alternatives. www.shtfblog.com/trump-hgh-for-an-insurgency/

directorblue.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-constitution-donald-trump-and-sarah.htmlThe Constitution, Donald Trump and the Sarah Palin I Used to Know How is it possible to suggest that after all the exposure that Donald Trump has had, the positions he’s taken, and the smack he’s talked, that he is a constitutional candidate who most represents the constitutional restoration of our government, free market capitalism, and a return to our Judeo-Christian principles? It seemed awfully strange that Sarah Palin would try to help Donald Trump, given that her most memorable speeches and work always seemed to track toward our founding and constitutional principles. I have been a Palin fan since 2008; in fact, my first ever published piece was in defense of this great Hockey Mom from the Great White North, who thought outside the box and drove the establishment crazy. She was the first true maverick of recent years. But being an outsider comes with a price, and Sarah Palin has been made fun of by the media and the establishment for things she’s said to the point of cruelty and torture. There is no bottom to the sewers the “lame stream media” will sink in treating her like a laughingstock and scrutinizing her every breath. I understand all of this, so it is not my intention at all to besmirch her or degrade her in any way. However, there is an untruth that is being told, and it must be righted. Donald Trump hasn’t displayed one modicum of understanding of our constitutional government.

Cruz using a typical Dem playbook move... Go underhanded and dirty, then when caught; refuse to take action aganist the miscreants. But GOP voters will find a reason to still vote for him, while calling hillary supporters every name in the book for still carrying the water for her, no matter what she does. This is the reason the country is steadily going down the tubes. TRUMP: I will 'probably' sue because Ted Cruz cheated in Iowa"What he did is unthinkable," Trump said, later calling Cruz a "really fraudulent" character. www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-lawsuit-iowa-caucus-ted-cruz-2016-2

h/t Gunny G www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/02/oops-bush-family-used-eminent-domain-to-build-ball-park/Oops!… Bush Family Used Eminent Domain to Build Texas Baseball ParkThe establishment media cheered Jeb Bush’s performance last night at the ABC GOP debate. The media was particularly pleased with how Jeb went after Donald Trump on eminent domain. Jeb slammed Trump for using eminent domain in his building projects. But Jeb forgot to mention his family used eminent domain too – to build a baseball park. Oops. The Hill reported: “ Following attacks from primary rival Jeb Bush about his past use of eminent domain, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on Sunday accused the Bush family of using the practice to build a baseball stadium in Texas. “Eminent domain is a very important thing,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week.” “Jeb Bush doesn’t understand what it means, and if you look into the Bush family – I found this five minutes ago – they used eminent domain for the stadium in Texas, where they own, I guess, a piece of the Texas Rangers.” When host George Stephanopoulos said that was Jeb’s brother, former President George W. Bush, Trump said his point still stands. “That doesn’t matter,” he said. “It was the Bush family. They used private eminent domain. He didn’t tell anybody this. So, I mean, he should have told people.” “Maybe – he probably doesn’t know because I don’t think he even knows what eminent domain is,” he added. “But I just found that out five minutes ago.”

www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/12/trump-jumps-to-44-nationally-rubio-drops-to-10/Trump Jumps to 44% Nationally, Rubio Drops to 10%Morning Consult released its latest national poll Friday, and the news is all good for Donald Trump, whose support jumped from 38% last week to 44% support today. That puts The Donald a full +27 points ahead of second place Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who enjoys 17% support, which is exactly where he sat last week. Ben Carson and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)are tied for 3rd place at 10%. Carson jumped just +1 point since last week. Rubio, however, lost -5 points — a third of his support. Jeb Bush jumped from 6% to 8%. John Kasich doubled his support from 2% to 4%. The Real Clear Politics poll of national polls does not show anything this dramatic. Trump is in first place over Cruz but only by +9 points. It is worth noting, though, that the newest national poll in this average is more than a week old.

www.rt.com/usa/332684-jeb-website-redirects-trump/Prankster redirects JebBush.com to Donald Trump’s campaign websiteSince the Republican presidential race began, Jeb Bush has been dropping in the polls. Now, to add insult to injury, someone has registered JebBush.com and redirected it to Donald Trump’s website. Typing “JebBush.com” in your URL field will give a jarring result – it takes you straight to Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s website. It turns out that the Bush campaign never used the JebBush.com URL, opting to use Jeb2016.com instead. But candidates typically buy unclaimed websites, since leaving them up for grabs has proven to be a liability to candidates in the past. TedCruz.com has been by pro-immigration activists, and CarlyFiorina.org was used to show how many people the former CEO laid off during her tenure at Hewlett-Packard. The Trump campaign denied any involvement in the prank, according to CBS News.

Whether you believe Trump is a savior or the anti-Christ or somewhere in between he could very well be the next president unless there is a grassy knoll planned for him by the powers that be. Hang on tight, no matter what it is going to be a hell of a ride... globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2016/02/understanding-trump-.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2FrzYD+%28Global+Guerrillas%29Why Trump Wins "The fault line in American politics is no longer Republican vs. Democrat nor conservative vs. liberal but establishment vs. anti-establishment. This is an inevitable result of serial failure in establishment policies." Failure as a Way of Life Bill Lind Donald Trump is crushing the establishment candidates of the Republican party. Sanders is doing the same with the Dems. With that in mind, here are a few insights into Trump that I found useful: •Donald Trump isn't a fool. Here's a recent interview that shows Donald Trump is much more interesting than the performance art of his stump and debate. BTW: he's a non-interventionist when it comes to foreign policy. •"From the start, Trump targeted the (mostly) white working class, which happens to be 40 percent of the country. And he’s done it not just with issues, but with how he talks — the ball-busting, the “bragging,” the over-the-top promises... But it speaks volumes — whole encyclopedias — about the ignorance of our political and media elites that they’re only now realizing that much of what Trump’s been doing is just busting balls. It’s a blue-collar ritual, with clear rules — overtly insulting, sure, but with infinite subtleties. It can be a test of manliness, a sign of respect, a way of bonding and much more. America hasn’t been great for the working class for decades — which is why “Make America Great Again” is a great slogan for a guy who’s talking tough on the problems that blue-collar Americans (and more than a few middle-class folks) see as killing them." And it is killing them: "The rise in mortality from 1999 to 2014 was 22 percent: Up 134 deaths per 100,000 for whites aged 45 to 54 whose education ended in high school.... (due to) jumps in suicides and in deaths from drug abuse." Donald Trump has Invented a New Way to Win Mark Cunningham

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/18/donald-trump-pope-francis-christian-wall-mexico-borderDonald Trump calls Pope Francis 'disgraceful' for questioning his faith Trump responds after the pope suggests presidential candidate is ‘not a Christian’ because of his plan to build a border wall between the US and Mexico Donald Trump has called Pope Francis “disgraceful” over the pontiff’s suggestion the Republican presidential frontrunner was “not a Christian” for his plan to build a wall at the Mexican border. Flying back to Rome from a trip to Mexico, the pope said: “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian.” Trump responded swiftly at a campaign event in South Carolina, saying: “For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful.” “No leader, especially a religious leader, has the right to question another man’s religion or faith,” he told a packed room at a golf course resort. Trump then accused the Mexican government of “using the pope as a pawn”. “They should be ashamed of themselves, especially when so many lives are involved and illegal immigration is rampant and bad for the United States.” During his in-flight press conference, the pope insisted he did not mean to sway any Americans with his comments. “As far as what you said about whether I would advise to vote or not to vote, I am not going to get involved in that,” he said. “I say only that this man is not Christian if he has said things like that. We must see if he said things in that way and in this I give the benefit of the doubt.” In a press release timed to coincide with his rally, Trump suggested that the leader of the Catholic church would regret not supporting his candidacy. “If and when the Vatican is attacked by Isis, which as everyone knows is Isis’s ultimate trophy,” Trump said, “the pope can have only wished and prayed that Donald Trump would have been president because this would not have happened. “Isis would have been eradicated unlike what is happening now with our all talk, no action politicians.” But the billionaire said he did not take the pope’s remarks personally. “The pope said negative things about me because the Mexican government convinced him Trump is not a good guy,” he said. “The Mexican government has made many disparaging remarks about me to the pope because they want to continuing ripping us off,” he added. He also dismissed the pope’s remarks in general: “Now it’s probably going to be all over the world. Who the hell cares? OK? I don’t care.”

www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/19/exclusive-disney-mom-trained-foreign-replacement-endorses-trump-need-someone-stand-bullies/EXCLUSIVE– Disney Mom Who Trained Foreign Replacement Endorses Trump: We Need Someone To Stand Up To The Bullies“I’m doing this because I don’t like bullies,” Dena Moore says, explaining why she— as one of the American Disney workers who was laid off and forced to train her low-wage H-1B foreign replacement— is now launching a discrimination lawsuit against the corporation. “You can’t let a bully continue to be the bully. Someone had to say: ‘Slavery isn’t right, I think I’ll stand up against it.’ Someone had to say: ‘We shouldn’t [mistreat] our women. I think I’ll stand up.’ Someone had to stand up. That’s what I’m hoping that my work is doing. There’s a lot of people who are just afraid,” Moore tells Breitbart in an exclusive telephone interview. Yet this sentiment also explains why Moore, a constituent of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s, now says she’s casting her ballot for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump: “Trump is standing up to the bullies.” “The American people are now the weak ones being bullied,” Moore explains. “The everyday working person needs a champion– and you’d never think to say that. Who would ever think a day would come when we would have to say that? But the middle class needs a champion– we need a union that will protect us– and Donald Trump is that champion. He is champion who stands up to the bullies to protect the weak, he stands up for us– he stands up.” “When you stand up to the bullies you have to stay strong,” Moore explained. “You’re not always going to be well-liked, and it takes you a little while to be heard. Maybe you’ll make mistakes, but you have to get past the media’s ‘let me pick you apart’ stage and recognize that this person is standing up to the bullies.” “I will be voting for Trump,” Moore said emphatically. “If we don’t want to become the next third world country— to me— we need somebody whose a business man to run the country.”

A closer look at the images reveal the so-called white supremacists were black. Almost 50 percent of Nevada caucus-goers gave the Republican hopeful an easy victory on Tuesday night, but not before a bizarre attempt at character assassination by black citizens in KKK garb. Not all of the photos shared on social media showed the color of their skin, which was taken advantage of by Trump’s detractors.

"We now have and will soon have a vote on the Transpacific Partnership TPP), Obamatrade, and it will damage America. It will create a commission that undermines our sovereignty, and it should not pass. Donald Trump when he gets elected president will see it does not pass." Sessions said Trump is not perfect, but nobody is and endorsed the candidate. "This movement, he doesn't take money from political groups and lobbyists. He is committed to leading this country in an effective way. You know, nobody is perfect. We can't have everything, can we, Mr. Trump? But I can tell you one thing, I think at this time in my opinion, my best judgment, at this time in America's history, we need to make America great again!" Sessions said, repeating Trump's campaign slogan. "I am pleased to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States," Sessions endorsed. "I told Donald Trump this isn't a campaign, this is a movement," Sessions told the crowd. "Look at what's happening. The American people are not happy with their government."

Once again, the base of the Republican Party has rebelled against the Establishment. Establishment Republicans lose either wayBy Rolf Yungclas, May 2, 2016 The established Republican Party leadership is more interested in preserving the Party than adhering to principles. So their overriding strategy is to simply keep their leadership in place, rather than lead it in a specific direction. As entrenched bureaucracies go, their goal becomes maintaining power for power’s sake. Thus their disconnect with the Republican base. The last time the Establishment Republicans faced such an overwhelming challenge was when Reagan opposed and then in 1980 defeated them by winning the Republican nomination for President. After the failure of the Nixon administration and the ill-fated attempt at resurrecting the Party by moderates with his surrogate Gerald Ford, the Republican Party went through a major restructuring, led by supporters of Ronald Reagan. Nationwide, on a local level, long-standing leadership was replaced by leadership that was more faithful to conservative values than to retaining the traditional leadership. canadafreepress.com/article/establishment-republicans-lose-either-way
