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 phoney.
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 week leading up to that weekend DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson appeared before an emergency congressional committee and stated he needed $4,000,000,000 (billion) in emergency appropriations to deal with the enormous “humanitarian crisis at the border“.
We knew that claim was fake because we had been tracking border apprehension reports and comparing them to the expressed narrative from the White House.
There wasn’t a mass influx of unaccompanied alien children (UAC’s), there was a predictable and intentionally constructed swarm of illegal alien “families“. Secretary Johnson never got the $4 billion; and the “humanitarian crisis†mysteriously disappeared from the headlines. The reason, simply because it was all manufactured. They spent hundreds of millions for nothing.
We knew that. Heck, (40,000 children just mysteriously disappeared) and certainly the intelligent Senator Ted Cruz, with far more exhaustive resources at his disposal, certainly knew that. Yet he participated in the ruse anyway.
We knew why Glenn Beck was doing it – like Jeh Johnson, it was all about the Benjamins; and the religious entities who make millions annually from taxpayer funding of illegal immigrants were in full support for the same reason.
Beck and Cruz were passing out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls, while Catholic Charities and Baptist Child and Family Services were getting millions. The inner-city American kids? Well, nothing for them…. not even a word from Jeh. But, oh yeah, Black Lives Matter, right? I digress.
LOL, Sundance, a DNC Operative working under the guise of a conservative website. You people citing this moron are going to look real stupid when the truth comes out about who they really are.
#AmnestyValues
Did Ted travel to the border to hand out soccer balls and teddy bears to illegals? That sounds like a enticement for further law breaking. And why soccer balls? Why not a good old American football if assimilation was a goal?
Ted Cruz Joins Glenn Beck to Deliver Soccer Balls, Teddy Bears and Food To Illegal Immigrants
I only clicked because I wanted to see the links. Quit sundance months ago. Nothing to see. Supposed red meat for Cruz haters? He was with Beck and they passed out teddy bears and the problem is?
Just like the Trumpets posting Mother Jones articles last night in support of their sun god.
The following website will help clean up those ‘ and “
problems which will make the posting more readable.

I posted on my phone don’t know if that would work
Cruz was even supported in this effort by the far left progressive Ted Nugent! Egads!
See below:
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz confirmed Thursday that he will be joining Glenn Beck and Mercury One at the border in McAllen, Texas, on Saturday to feed, clothe, and provide toys for illegal immigrant children.
Catherine Frazier, a spokeswoman for the senator, told TheBlaze in an email: “Tens of thousands of children are being smuggled into the United States by dangerous drug cartels and transnational gangs – it is heartless to allow that to continue.”
“But while we work to reverse the policies that have caused this tragedy, it is important we recognize the human element of this crisis, and Sen. Cruz is glad to join Glenn Beck and Mercury One in that effort to provide some relief from the suffering this administration is causing,” Frazier continued.
Joe Kerry, president of Mercury One, added: “Mercury One is blessed to have both Glenn Beck and Senator Ted Cruz participate in our border relief effort.”
Cruz will join fellow lawmaker Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) in McAllen. Others who have voiced support for the cause include Fox News host Bill O’Reilly and famed rocker Ted Nugent.
“Through no fault of their own, they are caught in political crossfire,” Beck said of the children when he announced the event. “And while we continue to put pressure on Washington and change its course of lawlessness, we must also help. It is not either, or. It is both. We have to be active in the political game, and we must open our hearts.”
Ohs nos! An individual using his own money to show Christian charity!
What would a trump worshiper say about this?
That was like two years ago.... old news.
I don’t know anything about Sundance, but you can find the same information scattered over the internet from different reliable sources. This one just pulled some of them together.
To get an idea of how Cruz spins his deception, log onto his site and read why he says he voted for the Corker bill. It is embarrassing to think people would fall for it, but they do.
“Ohs nos! An individual using his own money to show Christian charity!”
About as smart as laying out a meal for a burglar.
Really, Mr. Constitution should know all about the Treaty clause but I guess he doesn’t know it all
Folks I know became familiar with CTH as a go to resource for uncovering the lies and corruption surrounding the Zimmerman murder trial. The site also had close ties with Andrew Breitbart before his untimely death and Breitbart continues to be their inspiration.
Dem operatives?
You’re really not the sharpest knife in the drawer are you bud?
This is a so-what to me.
Beck pushed doing this as being a “Christian”, I think the whole project was based on giving them gifts but NOT asking these illegals to stay,
As long as Beck and Cruz were not asking these illegals to stay, so what? They gave them a stuffed bunny rabbit and because of this, I won’t vote for Cruz? Really?
Awful lot of negative Cruz stuff on this site 24/7. So, lemme see if I got this straight. Nfreerepuixnhas touted Ted Cruz as its hero and model conservative for how long. Suddenly we are to believe that he is false? He is not a true conservative?
Get a grip Trump supporters. It is ok to support your guy. Got it, he is kicking the establishment in the nuts. Got it he is really making this a great campaign and is seen as a great hope to truly end the Unit-Party system in DC. But now that Ted is catching him in some polls that means suddenly Ted is a phony!?!? I will take 100 such “phony’s” in the Senate any day.
I also find it odd that Ted is labeled as a phony when Trump has donated to and supported liberal causes in his own right. Now, I am willing to risk that he did so to hedge his bets as a businessman. But he and his supporters on this site should tread carefully.
Finally, invoking left wing tactics to take out Cruz is very Thad Cochranish. I am not yet decided between Cruz and Trump. As a conservative, this latest tantrum of New York values exhibited by Trump makes me lean Cruz.
New York values-way to use a typical left wing straw man tactic there Donald. Use the first responders as a set up. Attack New York values=hating on first responders=hating on 9/11 heroes. Because Charles Schumer, Bill De Commieo, Andrew Cuomo and the rest really really really care about first responders, especially when they support that Police Benevolance Society that is Black Lives Matter. Because there is NOOOO way Cruz was referring to thIngs like that. There is no way that New Yorker’s values are reflected in who the hell they vote for to represent them.
Yep, Ted Cruz hates the police and firefighters and is Canadian.
Let’s cut the Shiite shall we and focus on the issues of the day.
Senator Ted Cruz took office in January of 2013. January through September of 2013 Cruz campaigned against Obamacare even forcing a government shutdown over the funding for it. It appeared he was doing the right thing – for the right reasons. However, he was getting massive intense backlash for a junior senator with only a few months on the job – soon the pressure became too much, he was islolated, ridiculed and marginalized into defeat. He collapsed – retreated and made a decision.
In October of 2013 Cruz made a strategic decision to get his political life kick-started and try to regain credibility and influence. To achieve this he partnered with the very political machine he previously opposed, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and then Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
McConnell directed Cruz to join the NRSC.
Through 2014 Cruz participated as Vice-Chair inside the NRSC as part of that alignment with the DC machine.
However, the DC machine was working on a very specific set of objectives which, while noted at the time, were not fully understood. They only became most visible as time provided a historical analysis.
Two great outlines of what was going on are available HERE PART 1 -and- HERE PART 2.If you haven’t read those outlines, you will be lost moving forward.
While those corrupt machinations were going on, Senator Ted Cruz remained part of their overall program – working earnestly to assist the NRSC and simultaneously refusing to assist any political entity who was not in alignment with the overall objectives. In short, he sold his soul to McConnell Inc. around Christmas 2013.
AFTER, the scheme became toxicly visible -thanks to the Mississippi primary election of Thad Cochran/Chris McDaniel- Senator Cruz was at risk of losing all of his conservative bona-fides.
In June/July of 2014 he made another strategic decision to ‘optically separate’ himself from the McConnell led crew and the fiasco that was exploding inside the Mississippi election and the relationship to the NRSC and GOPe apparatus. It was a political decision, not based on principle but rather based entirely on saving his own political life.
Cruz needed, found and executed a political stunt to provide him cover as he retreated – He also enamored himself with radio host Mark Levin.
At the same time, in order to control his exposure, Cruz joined forces with Glenn Beck around the summers’ “Humanitarian Crisis” and Unaccompanied Alien Children; all in June/July/August 2014.Distractions.
However, even though he publicly separated himself from McConnell Inc., Cruz carried the same objectives of the overall 2013 plan forward. He did so behind the scenes, quietly invisible to all those not paying specific attention, so it would not draw as much notice.
You’ll note Senator Ted Cruz never once campaigned for a conservative challenger to an incumbent in the 2014 mid-term campaign races – nor did he ever discuss the absence of a federal budget now the republicans were in control of both the House and the Senate.
While publicly railing against what he called the DC Cartel, a group he was bound to assist from his prior pledge to them, he worked to deliver their goals nonetheless.
This was ultimately evident in: ♦ Comprehensive Immigration reform and amnesty ♦ The Iran Deal (Corker-Cardin Amendment) he supported, and later in ♦ The TPA construct, which became votes, to insure TPP passage on behalf of the original team he pledged support to in 2013.
In each case candidate Cruz now attempts to distance his own culpability and ownership within it. However, he is only able to distract people (“GASLIGHTING”) to the extent that voters were not engaged in following the day-by-day scheme(s) as they unfolded.
In essence, Cruz is able to fool people in 2015 using the same approach he used in 2012 to get elected. To insure that deception he adds an element of cult-like affiliation via religionand now various psychological targeting.
To give you an idea how that manipulative intent reveals itself – here’s a video of senate candidate Cruz prior to becoming elected. Pay attention to the explanation(s); because since 2012 you’ve heard this same set of explanations used again on various points:
Ted Cruz Discusses Wife and Council on Foreign Relations
- 2012 Heidi Cruz joined Council on Foreign Relations to change it.
- 2013 Cruz joined National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee to change it.
- 2012 Cruz: I am the only candidate to stand up to….
- 2015 Cruz: I am the only candidate who has stood up to…..
Always avoiding the natural follow-up, “but what have you accomplished”?
Accomplishments including:
- Joined forces with Mitch McConnell in October 2013
- Would not campaign for conservative challengers in 2013/2014
- Gave $200,000 from his Leadership PAC to the NRSC
- Advocated for 500,000 additional H1-B immigrant visas
- Ran to the Border with Glenn Beck for Illegal Aliens, Soccer Balls and Teddy Bears
- Supported Comprehensive Immigration Reform (along with Senator Rubio)
- Voted to support the Iran Deal – To Include Corker/Cardin Amendment (only Senator Tom Cotton voted against)
- Voted to support TPA – The gateway to Trans Pacific Trade Deal
“The Most Consistent Conservative”? Merely a ridiculous talking point.
