Donald Trump’s team has hired veteran conservative organizer, David Bossie, to help build the campaign’s voter-turnout operation. “A friend of mine for many years. Solid. Smart. Loves politics, knows how to win,” Trump told The Washington Post. According to The Post, Bossie participated Thursday in strategy sessions at Trump Tower where he was introduced to campaign aides and Trump associates, according to Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway. Conway said Bossie would be assisting her with managing day-to-day operations and with strategic planning. “He’s a battle-tested warrior and a brilliant strategist,” Conway said. “He’s a nuts-and-bolts ...
Hiding Hillary Day 271: Will Trump Surge Force Hillary out of Hiding?

It has now been 271 days since Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton held a press conference. #HidingHillary is a campaign strategy to prevent Clinton from making public gaffes. By avoiding unscripted questions and public appearances that are not carefully controlled by the campaign, the tactic is designed to allow Clinton’s opponent, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, to hand her the presidency through his own self-inflicted wounds. #HidingHillary might minimize the risk of mistakes for Clinton, but it bolsters Trump’s ability to set the narrative. Under the leadership of Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon, Trump’s campaign is taking full advantage of ...
The Donald and The Deep State

For his myriad faults, it’s easy to see why Donald Trump’s anti-Globalist rhetoric has stricken a chord with the American electorate. His vocal opposition to Neomercantile trade deals, his rhetorical rejection of “Sustainable Development” on the world stage; The Donald is doubtlessly a captivating figure to the dispossessed, downtrodden American voter seeking something – anything – to halt the ravages wrought by World Order Machiavellians. If nothing else, watching Trump’s bombast single-handedly stymie a potential continuation of the Bush Crime Family Dynasty (to the ire of Neocons everywhere) has made for fantastic entertainment. Watching as a ...
My List Of The Ten Worst U.S. Presidents (Chuck Baldwin)

A few days ago, I posted my list of the top ten worst U.S. presidents on my Facebook page. People who are familiar with my writings should not be surprised at my list, although many people who read my Facebook post did act surprised. Of course, these could have been people who aren’t that familiar with my writings after all. At any rate, with my Facebook post I made my list without explanation. I will use this column to share a little bit of the reasoning behind my selections. So here goes: my top ten worst presidents in U.S. history: 1. Abraham Lincoln (Republican) Without an ounce of doubt in my mind, Abraham Lincoln is America’s absolute worst President. He did not free a ...
The Election Has Been Hacked: The Dismal Reality Of Having No Real Electoral Choices

“Free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.” ― Herbert Marcuse The FBI is worried: foreign hackers have broken into two state election databases. The Department of Homeland Security is worried: the nation’s voting system needs greater protection against cyberattacks. I, on the other hand, am not overly worried: after all, the voting booths have already been hacked by a political elite comprised of Republicans and Democrats who are determined to retain power at all costs. The outcome is a foregone conclusion: the police state will win and “we the people” will lose. The damage has already been done. The DHS, which has offered to ...
Paul Craig Roberts: “The combination of Hillary with Wolfowitz should scare everyone in the entire world”

Editor’s Note: Obviously Wolfowitz, that human bag of garbage, is looking for a job in Hillary’s administration… Paul Wolfowitz and the lies that he told in the high government positions that he held are responsible for a massive number of deaths and massive destruction in seven countries. Wolfowitz has announced his vote for Hillary Clinton. Does this make you feel reassured? The real surprise would have been Wolfowitz’s announcement in favor of Donald Trump. So why was what was expected news? Trump has said that he doesn’t see any future in the conflict Washington has initiated with Russia, and Trump questions the point of NATO’s continuing existence. These ...
Huffington Post Journalist Fired and Scared for Life After Questioning Hillary’s Health

Over the weekend ZeroHedge posted about how the media’s coverage of Trump and Clinton’s health had become “outright bizarre” (see “American Electorate Loses As Partisan Media Coverage Of Candidate Health Turns Outright Bizarre“). They also asked whether Google had taken measures to censor searches related to Hillary’s health condition (see “Is Google Censoring Search Results To Protect Hillary?“). Turns out that the Huffington Post may have just joined in on the bizarre behavior by censoring a journalist with the audacity to question Hillary’s health. On Sunday night, an obviously shaken Huffington Post contributor, David ...

Trump allies leave key question about his deportation policy unresolved

[...] On immigration, Conway said on "Fox News Sunday" that Trump has not recently advocated a mass deportation force. "The deportation force, I would like to address that. He hasn't mentioned that since last November," she said. Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that the idea of a deportation force was a "mechanism, not a policy," and that Trump has remained "completely consistent" on immigration. Neither would definitively say what Trump would do with immigrants who have not committed any crimes since entering the country illegally. "And what he's said now is that he ...

Donald Trump says he would restart a controversial federal program that transfers surplus military equipment to local police departments, The Guardian reported Monday night: During discussions at a fraternal order of police lodge in Akron, Trump was asked by one questioner if he would return "military equipment" to law enforcement, according to a pool reporter who observed the event. "Yes, I would," said Trump, who added that the current situation facing law enforcement was "ridiculous." President Obama issued an executive order last May banning the transfer of several categories of military surplus equipment, such as bayonets, grenade launchers, heavy ...

[...] “If Mr. Trump were to go down a path of wishy-washy positions taken on things that the core foundation of his support has so appreciated, and that is respecting our Constitution and respecting law and order in America, then yeah, there would be massive disappointment,” Mrs. Palin, the Republican nominee for vice president in 2008, said in a telephone interview with the Wall Street Journal. “Parts of that message we heard in the last week are clearly not consistent with the stringent position and message that supporters have received all along.” At a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, Mr. Trump said “the bad ones” who came to the U.S. illegally have to ...

n 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fondly eulogized Sen. Robert Byrd, a former member and recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan. Clinton called Byrd “my friend and mentor” in a video message to commemorate his passing. As a young man in West Virginia, Byrd was involved in the KKK and reportedly recruited 150 members to the group. While serving in Congress, Byrd set the record for longest filibuster on the floor of the U.S. Senate with a 14-hour filibuster of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. p>In a 2005 article titled “A Senator’s Shame,” the Washington Post’s Eric Pianin pilloried Byrd’s attempts to downplay his involvement in the organization as he ...

Trump Used Campaign Donations to Buy $55,000 of His Own Book

FEC rules dictate the Republican nominee must forgo royalties on the book’s sales, or else the $55,000 purchase at Barnes & Noble was illegal. Donald Trump used his campaign funds to buy thousands of copies of his own book at retail cost, simultaneously diverting donor money back into his pockets while artificially boosting his sales figures. It’s a tactic that may be illegal, campaign finance experts say. On May 10, the Trump campaign paid Barnes & Noble $55,055, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission. That amounts to more than 3,500 copies of the hardcover version of Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again, or just over 5,000 copies of the ...

Voters in tightly contested North Carolina have seen the presidential candidates and their surrogates a lot this summer. What helps make the state such a political hot spot is that voting begins before anywhere else.Election officials begin mailing ballots Sept. 9 to any registered voter in North Carolina who formally requested one. That's the earliest in the country and 60 days before the Nov. 8 election.A few other battleground states start mailing absentee ballots two weeks later. An array of states follows with differing forms of early in-person voting in the campaign's final weeks.It's for that reason that North Carolina provides campaigns with an early test.---MAILING IT ...
Presidential Olympics: The State Poll Scores That Trump Needs for a National Victory

Don’t be intimidated by statistical experts and contradictory polls. The table below shows you how to use any swing-state poll to check if Donald Trump is on track to clear the nation’s 270-vote electoral bar in his race to become President. For example, if you can subtract three points from Trump’s poll score in North Carolina and he’s still got a state majority, he’s likely getting enough nationwide poll support to win 270 electoral votes nationwide. Likewise, if Trump reaches 50 percent when you add three points to his poll score in a Michigan state poll, he’s likely getting enough national support to win the presidency. TV critics accuse Breitbart of ...
Trump Isn’t Tweeting About The Polls Anymore

In the runup to the Republican presidential primary, Donald Trump tweeted about polls. Like … a lot. It made sense: Trump was winning in the polls, and the Trump brand is all about winning. But as “all of them” now show Trump losing, we wondered — being rather poll-obsessed ourselves — whether Trump would still be interested in informing his Twitter followers about the state of the race. Not so much. As you can tell from the chart, Trump rarely tweets 1 about polls these days. Indeed, he’s done so only four times in the past 30 days. During the same period in the primary season — as far out from the Iowa caucuses as we are from Election Day now — ...
Trump is losing so badly, the toss-up states don’t even matter

It's always easy to discount national polling, when it turns against you. "Fifty state elections!" the losing side cries. "Electoral college! Swing states!" Donald Trump is now losing so badly, that none of that even matters anymore. In the last four elections, the Electoral College projections were very close. Everything came down to the "toss-up" states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania. George W. Bush won them twice, as did Barack Obama, so they went on to win the Presidency. But the current polling is so bad, as Donald Trump trails Hillary Clinton, that the toss-up states don't even matter anymore Excluding the toss-up states, RCP has Clinton up ...
Dead Gorilla Harambe Earns 5% in Poll Against Trump and Clinton

It seems that quite a few people would prefer a dead gorilla as president rather than either of the two main candidates. According to Josh Guckert of the Libertarian Republic, in a poll released by Public Policy Polling (PPP) on Saturday, “independent presidential candidate” Harambe earned 5% against Hillary Clinton (48%) and Donald Trump (43%). Harambe, a gorilla which had lived in the Cincinnati Zoo, earned fame in May after being killed. The 17-year-old Western lowland gorilla was shot after a three-year-old child fell into its enclosure. A zoo worker, fearing for the child’s life, decided to shoot the gorilla. We do not know how many answered the poll jokingly, ...

Anybody who has been paying attention to real news and global events from the alternative media knows that there is a great deal of evidence that proves that our own leaders created the ISIS terrorist group that's now slaughtering Christians around the world.

That video has arrived.As we hear in the slam-dunk video below from John McCain's opponent in the upcoming election Dr. Kelli Ward, McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were responsible for creating the terrorist group that is now ...

A Bot Is Turning Trump’s Own Conspiracy-Stoking Rhetoric Back on Him

Donald Trump is a unique political candidate in many ways, not the least of which is how consistently he makes things up out of thin air without even an attempt to base them in fact. While I’m not generally a fan of stooping to the opposition’s level—or Internet bots, for that matter—a Reddit bot that’s doing just that as a way to jokingly point out Trump’s nonsense is just what this election cycle needed. As noticed by The Daily Beast, the bot was programmed on the subreddit EnoughTrumpSpam to respond to any mentions of Trump’s tax returns—which he refuses to release with the reasoning that he’s currently under audit—with, ...
