    Earlier today WikiLeaks released more documents showing how the Democrat National Committee (DNC) specifically worked to destroy the candidacy of Bernie Sanders in a united effort with the media to support Hillary Clinton. The revelations within the release are quite astounding, and unfortunately confirm all the prior suspicions of the Bernie Sanders supporters about the democrat party apparatus working with the Clinton campaign to eliminate the threat posed by Senator Sanders.

    Among the many people in attendance at the parade in Paris, which took place under high surveillance this year, was the French president, who rode atop the command car flanked by Republican Guards on horseback. Hollande was joined by US State Secretary John Kerry, New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key and Mexico's president Enrique Pena Nieto. Speaking after the parade, Hollande said: 'We had to prolong the state of emergency until we could be sure that the law gives us the means to counter the terrorist threat effectively.' He added that the new law 'will give us the tools which,...

    The headline reflects the moment my previous support for Ted Cruz (2011/2012), which evolved to concern about Senator Ted Cruz (2013/2014), turned to admitting Ted Cruz was a phony. He had been in office for 18 months – I had sent him campaign contributions. The date was Saturday, July 19th, 2014 – I remember it vividly because I noted in my journal “last straw in providing Cruz any benefit of doubt – done“.

    The three network anchors will travel to Europe and the Middle East next week for Barack Obama's trip, adding their high-wattage spotlight to what is already shaping up as a major media extravaganza. Lured by an offer of interviews with the Democratic presidential candidate, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will make the overseas trek, meaning that the NBC, ABC and CBS evening newscasts will originate from stops along the route and undoubtedly give it big play.

    Dear Comrades, My name is Barack Hussein Obama and I’m asking for your vote for President of the United States. I’m well aware of your dislike for John McCain and I certainly understand those misgivings. I know how you feel about voting for Democrats but I hope that I can change your mind about me since many of you had no problem voting for Hillary in the open primary states. In fact, you owe me for getting rid of that witch in the first place. First, you will notice how I now wear my flag lapel pin everyday. I have...

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement(ICE) set new records for enforcement activity, ended the long-standing practice of “catch-and-release” along the borders, launched major new initiatives, transformed its detention and removal process, and improved its intelligence functions. Some milestones include: Total arrests made in worksite enforcement cases was more than seven times greater than in 2002, the last full year of operations for U.S. INS. Ended “Catch-and-Release” for non-Mexican aliens existed for years and was one of the greatest impediments to border control. DHS and ICE re-engineered the detention and removal process to end this practice along the border, an accomplishment considered...

    The Washington Dispatch ^ | August 27, 2004 | CK Rairden
    Many pollsters and pundits settled in a few weeks ago on this mantra, “This is John Kerry’s race to lose.” That was a bit premature and quite frankly, wrong. It’s now very clear that John Kerry can’t win the White House in 2004. That’s not to say that Mr. Kerry won’t be inaugurated in January of 2005, but he has now shown that he does not have what it takes to win. The only way for Kerry to make it to the White House is for President George W. Bush to lose. The democratic presidential challenger has had a terrible...

    Reading Polls Too Much Too Soon The Brookings Institution Website, May 30, 2000 Thomas E. Mann, Senior Fellow, Governmental Studies Presidential election polls have become a staple of political commentary and analysis. How much stock should we place in them? At this time in the election season, very little. But tell that to scores of columnists and cable news show hosts who read great significance into weekly shifts in the public standing of Governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore. Washington punditry is not known for the accuracy of its forecasts, as any casual observer of the stark...
