“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
Matthew 15:14
Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Now this prediction is not going to go up there with the Trump winning the nomination and presidency when he rode down the elevator or the prediction of 44 of 50 winning states the weekend prior to the election. I would have had 47 if not for voter fraud in MN, NM and NV which he could not overcome like he did in PA, WI and FL. It may not even reach the accuracy of being right on nine of the last ten House and Sinate elections, but since we are six months out of a big one it is worth doing. Even though I never claimed to be Jimmy the Greek it may be the best track record in the country since nobody got the last one right except myself and a couple of others so now it is time to predict the Blue Wave election. In this election the Blue Wave is going to turn into another big Red Tsunami just like 2014.
Some have axed what the secret is to making predictions like the Trump win when everyone on both sides of the aisle was absolutely sure Hillary was going to win. How in the primaries you could predict Trump wins when polls showed him down fifteen points and pulled it out? How when Las Vegas was giving him a one percent chance of winning you were sure he was going to win? How in previous midterms when the smart people were saying the Dems were going to regain or add to their super majorities you could predict accurately it was going to go the other way? It is really easy, you take your politics out of the equation and look at the way real people are talking and thinking and don’t dismiss the Tea Party movement.
You have to look at the professional prognosticators as sports analysists. To be a sports analysist you have to be one of two things, right ninety percent of the time or agree with the crowd all of the time. If you are a sports analysis and you pick the Patriots over the Eagles in the Super Bowl everyone is going to say that is a very informed choice. After all the Pats have one it more times than every other team and everyone else as well as Las Vegas is picking that team. After they lose you and every other echo chamber predictor can all say they never saw that coming and everyone is covered by everyone else since nobody saw that coming.
On the other hand if you pick the Eagles you are out on a limb by yourself which is great after they win, but if you lose than you were a fool. Since nobody else picked that team you are left by yourself to explain why you thought an inferior team lost to the mighty Patriots and Tom Brady, how could you not see that coming? As a sports prognosticator you have no cover and are considered less than accurate in your predictions. This happens too many times and you will find yourself out on the streets and looking for work, so you quit going out on a limb and stay in the safety of the crowd and become part of the echo chamber.
It is even more corrupted in the political arena since ninety five percent of the analysts are Patriot fans and they want to pick their team in the worst way. They are going to point out how great Tom Brady is and show his stats in a favorable manner as they all agree the Pats will win big. The Eagle reporters are going to go along with the rest of the group since if the Eagles lose they will be laughed out of the room and be looking for work rather than being apolitical they will go along with the echo chamber to save face in case of a loss and mock anyone who dares to go against the grain.
So the way I was able to predict Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump was to step away from the politics and the one I would prefer and see what the Country was doing or in Romney’s case how weak the candidate was. I predicted his loss the month before he officially won the nomination from Gingrich. One of the worst things you can do is pick the candidate which is one onion skin to the Right of the D-Rat since why would the country vote for a fake Dem when they can vote for the real thing? Elections are won on the far Right not in the middle like election managers like to believe which is why Romney and McCain lost. Both moved to the middle and lost their base.
But Gary, elections are won in the middle by the precious independents and moderates which is why we have to pick a moderate candidate. Name one moderate Repub who has won the presidency besides Bush Sr who was running on Reagan’s Right Wing coattails. There are none, you run Right or you lose and if you do run Right the entire Punditocracy will mock you and you will win, it is really that simple and why there will be a Red Tsunami this election, more candidates will be forced to run Right by Trump.
But what about those precious moderates and independents, they will all vote Dem and you will lose? Nope, by definition they are followers and not leaders, they make up their minds the morning of the election and they are going to follow whoever the best leader is and that is whoever sticks to their guns and does not bow to the winds of moderation. This is how Trump won since he led on issues like The Wall, Tax Cuts and stopping ObamadontCare. Whether you agreed or not you saw he was willing to lead while Hillary was just speaking PC pabulum and falling on her face.
So all the kings’ men and all the kings’ horses are saying there is a big Blue Wave coming to sweep their last embarrassment away. Never mind they have been wrong about the last five midterms and the strength of the Tea Party movement, America loves them and Marxism. They know it since there is not one person who would even considered voting for Trump against Saint Hillary so this midterm is going to make everything right. Sorry, mediots Harpy Dumpty is a scrambled egg and has become an omelet.
The Tea Party movement has become stronger and more determined than ever. It is organized on a grassroots level and America has embraced its message of smaller gummit and less taxes. The candidates which are winning the primaries have taken on the Trump agenda and are more Conservative than they were during the Obozo disaster and willing to lead from the Right rather than follow in the middle. This move points to a building tide and other than the Bluest of states becoming a cleansing washing of the swamp in the neighborhood of five to ten Sinate seats and another ten to fifteen House seats.
The final piece of this prediction is President Trump having long coattails. If these candidates will embrace him and go to his rallies they will win going away. They will have to ignore their managers and pundiots and go to those rallies trusting those moderates to follow the leader which is Trump. They do that and they win, they listen to their managers and they lose. There is an old saying, win or lose the campaign manager’s check always cashes. Campaign managers are just like analysts they do what the crowd does and lose they are safe, they go out on a limb and lose they are out of work or become experts on CNN.
What if everything the Punditocracy knows about elections is wrong? What if they are a bunch of sheep following the herd? If that is the case, which it is; then everything they are telling us about elections is wrong and there never was a Blue Wave. It was nothing more than a figment of their wishful imaginations and the truth is just the opposite. America is tired of Marxism and this offended snowflake mentality. They are ready to make a statement and wanting to go down a new path by following a real leader who has lived his entire life preparing to guide this country to a real freedom and opportunity. America is getting ready to lead the world and show it what Lady Liberty means when she raises the torch and the world breathes that cool breath of freedom.
Pray America woke
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
If I was a Democrat candidate and watched Tuesdays results and Wednesday’s Trump rally I would be very nervous.
It appears Trump will be campaigning hard for the GOP and his message is a Democrat campaign killer
Trump basically is making the case
2016 wasn't my election, it was our election.
See all this stuff we are doing you really like, Dem so and so running in Nov voted against it.
See all this stuff you hated and we got rid of, Dem x voted to keep it.
See all this stuff you still want done. Democrat candidate such and such will vote to stop us.
Spot on...the cabal is panicking, squirming...scurrying in the over of night...they are taking chances like never be fore as desperation sets in. All those third to making $$$ off the Iran deal are scared of being exposed.
Most of the involved shadow government is here:

This was posted per Q last night...just look at the crazed faces... mommies all around. This is Obama’s/Jarrett/Soros’ chess set.
Some bright spots in the lineup today,lots and lots of stuff going on.
Here is one to follow:

NIce stuff AB. Happy Mother’s Day to all Freeper moms!

When your opponent is so socialistic bordering on communistic that they can't run on anything they believe and all they do is to run your side down,where is the beef?
The more the dems run down Trump inc. the more success he has and we keep on winning. Dems don't think the US should win, just exist to fund social programs. The rest of the country doesn't buy that. So the inevitable will be a big win for us.
Great take here by Gary Bray.

Wow, that org is incredible. Co-chair is Ben Rhodes who lied to us about the Iran deal? The other co-chair is Jake Sullivan who, among other things, violated policy and probably law sending marked sensitive and unmarked classified emails to Hillary’s unsecure server.

"Is a mysterious British private spy firm linked to a series of “collusion” stings on the @realDonaldTrump team? Is HAKLUYT the "British Fusion GPS"?

The British end of the 2016 "sting" campaign against @realDonaldTrump is unlikely to get a mention in the first @JusticeOIG report from IG Horowitz, due out #soon. @DevinNunes @HouseIntelComm reports haven't focused on this potentially huge story much either. Let's take a look.

ALEXANDER DOWNER’S 2016 "chat" with GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS at the Kensington Wine Rooms about Cypriot JOSEPH MIFSUD & "Hilary emails" allegedly sparked the FBI's July 2016 counterintel investigation. DOWNER *initiated* that chat & even the @nytimes concede he may have been "fishing"

@JohnWHuber
Who is ALEXANDER DOWNER?"
If Trump campaigns hard the GOP could pick up a net 5-8 Senate seats
WV, IN, MO, ND and MT are very vulnerable
Fl, WI and MI are possible.
On the other side, we probably will lose NV. People are worried about TN based on polls but I suspect TN will turn Red in the end.
Below are the words from my daily political diary. It is quite long so scroll on by if not interested. But do stay around and add your commentary and point of view to the thread.
Happy Mother's Day to all Mom's. Pay close attention to Pugmama as she expands on the thread topic.

And so federal judge TJ Ellis gives the honorable and holy Mueller hell for bringing in Manafort for a "crime" he allegedly committed in 2005!
It gives my heart good to not have ALL of the DOJ dishonest and avoiding justice.
Ellis said there is no place in America's constitution for a person with no bounds placed upon him.
No. Not even the president and surely not some crackle-faced liar who put more innocent people in jail than any prosecutor in the land.
When I see this Mueller guy I want to slap him silly.
He's a nobody, he has no pride, no humility, no allegiance to fairness and justice in the court.
Mueller, and his buddy the fine, fine James Comey, are the most dishonest boobs on the planet.
They belong in the KGB.

Trump cancels Iranian deal
----------------------------------
This strikes me as a good time to tell my somewhat sweet story about my love affair with a Persian.
Indeed, I was 21 years old, lush, beautiful, about to mature into a woman of the world.
My Persian boyfriend's name was Ali, he was in his mid-20's, worked as a cook in Baltimore.
He made home-made yogurt, in a sink, in a piece of cheesecloth.
We did everything on the floor. We ate on the floor, we watched TV on the floor, we did "everything" on the floor.
Yes I loved Ali and he loved me dearly.
Ali told me he was from Persia but in due course I learned that Persia was really Iran.
The young Persian youth of that era were modern, hip, loving America and life.
This was almost 50 years ago.
Then one day Ali asked me to visit his home in Persia with him.
I almost fainted at the thought of going to Persia. I figured maybe we'd fly over on a magic carpet.
"But you have to wear a burka when you meet my family," he told me.
Go to hell.
I was gorgeous, beautiful, at the height of my feminine allure. I wouldn't wear a burka anywhere, not even on Halloween.
It took a few months but eventually Ali and I broke up. He returned to Persia and some ten years later I chanced to meet up with him again.
He was just as handsome and my heart jumped a couple of beats, as it did before.
Eventually there was Jimmy Carter's Iran-Hostage crisis and no one ever referred to Iran as Persia again.
A bunch of thugs called Mullahs took over the country and destroyed the spirit, verve and magic of the citizenry.
The Mullahs wanted to take over the world. Young ones like Ali were soon shot in the street.
Ah and so, it's just a memory but damn if I didn't live it, experience it, bask in it.
Today Donald Trump stopped that awful deal with the Mullah thugs.
They are not to be trusted. They took a vibrant citizenry, clad them in burkas, taught them to disrespect women, banned Christian churches and threatened death to Israel.
Islam is the religion of the day.
Persia is no more.

North Korean hostages come home
Secretary Pompeo went to North Korea personally and accompanied two American hostages home.

So it turns out that the Cruz killer in Florida had been let go FOUR TIMES via this PROMISE program until he finally shot up a school.
The idea is to cut down on arrests so that there would not be so many blacks in jail and present a bad image.
It was an Obama administration plan.
How dumb was that?
Yet we hear about Russia and Stormy Daniels.
Below a quote:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The PROMISE Program, an alternative discipline program designed to limit on-campus arrests, has been widely reported as ineffective and corrupt. It has come under intense scrutiny in the weeks since the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, but until Sunday, school officials were still denying that Cruz ever had any connection to that program.

Rumor is that there was a mole in the Trump campaign, a spy working for the FBI.
For the FBI, folks, in this country, is run by a KGB federale police force, and they are a bunch of dishonest dummies.
My guess, which is undoubtedly wrong but I like the idea, is that is was Jeff Sessions.
Sessions has done absolutely nothing in his position of AG of America. He kissed Trump's butt during the whole campaign, which I thought odd.
Then first thing after Trump appoints him AG Sessions recuses himself from the Russian investigation.
WITHOUT EVEN TELLING TRUMP OF THIS STUPID DECISION!!!
And up until now, Sessions, lying sycophant, traitor, has done nothing but go public and tell us congress cannot have the information it wants because…well Sessions never really says why.
The spy is probably NOT Sessions. There have been some pretty good guesses, the most mentioned a name I never heard of.
But the FBI inserted a spy into a political campaign?
Is this what America has become?
---------------------------------
Some Gossip
Don Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle are allegedly a romantic item. Trump Jr. is currently separated from his wife.
Five kids I think they have.
The terrible comedienne Michelle Wolf says everyone loved her routine. Heh. Being nasty is one thing but she was not funny, at all.
I read somewhere that Sean Hannity evicts non-rent paying tenants. Evidently Hannity owns some apartment complexes, managed no doubt by a property management firm.
Generally, if one does not pay their rent, they are evicted.
Why is this some kind of big deal?
The only thing that really worries me is voter fraud at every possible corner. We don't need vans full of illegals voting in 10 or 12 precincts per day and in areas with early voting many legitimate voters finding that "they had already voted" when they came to cast their ballot.
Lots of scary stuff going on.
No surprise the Sunday Political shows missed the other biggest story.
Trump had a big big big week. Possibly the best week he has had as President and this week he starts out with the Embassy opening in Jerusalem Israel.
What a ride!
Just like Reagan the Marxist Media hates him with a passion. Only difference is with social media the dialogue is even nastier than Reagan.
We are living in historic times with the most skilled President in histoir.
