My disappointment In Ted Cruz

I have been a huge supporter since he rode the Tea Party wave back in 2012. His record has very good and one he should be proud of. Since being elected to the senate, he has been a great advocate for small, constitutional government. His filibusters were amazing and I stayed up late for them. He has been one of the leaders against illegal immigration and lead the fight against Obamacare.

In terms of the race for the GOP presidential nomination, I was, and still am by every sense of the phrase “on the fence” between Cruz and Trump. I don’t fully trust Trump and Cruz never has done me wrong. Until now. If i had to pick one thing I favored about Trump over Cruz was the fact that as much as I like Cruz, he is still a politician and I don’t trust politicians farther than I can throw them no matter if there’s a “D” or an “R” next to their name. Trump is not a politician so he doesn’t have the politician stigma.

Unfortunately, Cruz has proven my concerns to be accurate. By now many of you have heard what happened between Cruz  and Carson during the Iowa caucus. Carson accused Cruz of “dirty tricks”  by spreading false rumors that Carson was giving up in Iowa and that Carson voters should jump ship and vote for Cruz.

The Cruz camp did feed off a CNN report that said Carson was going home which the Cruz camp took as he was “giving up” and I honestly don’t blame them for assuming he was giving up because to me, it seemed kind of random to just leave Iowa for some R&R only a week away from New Hampshire. The issue was the Cruz camp failed to follow up with CNN’s forward tweet that he wasn’t giving up but just going home for some clean clothes. They conveniently left that part out and that is why it was seen as a “dirty trick”. Cruz apologized Tuesday on Fox News’ Hannity saying:

“Unfortunately, they did not then forward the subsequent story, that was Ben’s campaign clarifying that he was continuing the campaign and was not canceling the campaign,” Cruz said. “And so I apologize to Ben for that. They should have forwarded that subsequent story. That was a mistake on our part.”

Carson has since accepted his apology saying:

“As a Christian I will accept the apology but it doesn’t correct the problem,” Carson told CNN. “This is a cultural issue when people in your campaign feel that it’s ok to distort the issues to their political advantage and to tell absolute lies. And the question really is will there be any consequences for that.”

 

Carson’s call for accountability in the Cruz camp is a just one in my opinion. The only way Cruz gains trust back from people he lost it from would be to have those responsible for this to come forward and accept responsibility. What the just punishment is, I’ll leave that up to Cruz to decide and we will determine if voters want to move forward.

Not to anyone’s surprise Donald Trump is crying foul over the issue calling it “fraud” and demanding a redo or Cruz’s results be nullified. Haha nice try Donald! If Trump is worked up over this dirty, but relatively minor ethical violation only one state into the race for the White House, he’s in for a wild ride as we still have 49 states to go and it is only going to get nastier. Trump has had is dirty low blows as well like making Cruz’s birth certificate an issue to try and give him a slight edge over his rising rival when many other people have ran not being born on US soil. I’m not a constitutional scholar so I’m not about to say whether or not it’s a clear cut case but it really seems unnecessary and should stick to the issues.

This whole debacle is likely to be faded and lost in people’s memory by the time NH rolls around although Carson and Trump will definitely be reminding people. Without the false rumors it still looks like Cruz would have beat trump and there would have had to of been a 24 thousand vote switch for Carson to overtake Rubio.

Regardless, it has brought on unwanted attention and Scrutiny by me and I can imagine a lot of other people as well. Even though Cruz still holds a slight edge over Trump in my eyes, he is treading on some real thin ice and now I will be watching him like a hawk. Something a politician never wants.

Last and final warning bud. If you do something one more time that makes me question your ethics, we’re done here. In such a crucial time in our country and a need to defeat Hillary, Bernie and every other low life globalists, we do not need this.

We deserve better Mr. Senator!

Post Debate Aftermath

As the dust settles in Iowa and the mad dash to New Hampshire commences, the political landscape is starting to take it’s true form. Last night we saw a very strong victory from Ted Cruz, a humbling defeat to Donald trump and a somewhat surprising 3rd place finish for Marco Rubio.

Yes, “defeat” is kind of a strong word as Trump will surely comeback strong in the upcoming primaries but as they always say, if you’re not first, you’re last. He even quoted someone in a tweet back in 2013 “No one remembers 2nd place.” Last night was more a win for Cruz than it was a loss for Trump. Cruz had to win Iowa to get any type of momentum early on. Trump will most likely win New Hampshire and is leading in South Carolina by about 15-16 points so if he can finish with a strong 2nd place showing in NH, he might be able to close the gap in South Carolina less than 2 weeks out and be within striking distance for a big win. If Cruz would have lost Iowa, it would have more than likely set him up for an 0-3 start and a very challenging uphill climb.

In other news last night, Ben Carson was rather upset at the Cruz camp for perpetuating a rumor that Carson had dropped out of Iowa was going home so Carson voters should jump ship and go over to Cruz. Carson called it a “dirty trick which in fairness, it was but hey, it’s politics. Cruz apologized for not sending out a follow up that Carson was just going home for some clean clothes (still kind of an odd reason).

All-in-all, it was a fun and exciting caucus. I hope Trump will be humbled and get more  serious politically. He needs to not rely so much on just pleasing a crowd of his supporters with things everybody wants to hear. Obama did that, I want to see more specifics rather than “It’s going to be great. The best you have ever seen.” Well Donald, how? Start laying out specific plans. His economic plan, no surprise to any one, was fantastic, acclaimed by many economists and most of all, will hurt the globalists.

My impressions on Cruz’s performance  was first, hell of a ground game. That man gave his all and was able to  grind it out to the finish. That’s what we need in a candidate in my opinion. He is an incredible debater and very convincing as we saw in the final hours and days in Iowa. What i would like to see from him is he needs to be more charismatic. He gives off a sense that he can’t connect to people on a personal level. He seems cold and rigid and while i like that when he is in Washington, some voters might be put of by that. He does have his funny, snarky moments in debates so maybe he can bring that out more on the campaign trail.

Well, it’s onto New Hampshire for what will likely be a crazy, jam packed Tuesday night as well. Hope you will join me as i plan on covering that as well! See you next Tuesday!

Get up, Get Out, and Get Voting!

We’re just under an hour away from The Iowa caucus. With a somewhat close battle between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz with The Donald leading Cruz in the last Bloomberg/DMR poll 28-23 and a dead heat between the socialist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders and Hillary “What difference do it make?” Clinton with Clinton leading Bernie 45-42. It’s all coming down to turnout.

Screen-Shot-2016-01-30-at-6.46.22-PMCaAZ-fkWAAIol5M

Will all the socialist college kids looking for free stuff turn out? Bernie along with Trump have brought new voters out of the woodwork but will they turnout? The Iowa Caucus, a unique primary to the rest of the nation can be very overwhelming and extremely confusing to young, inexperienced voters. So will they turnout?

At a Trump rally in Iowa today, there were a concerning number of empty seats and people were reportedly leaving early and Trump had to as well since he and Sarah Palin had to drive to his next stop rather than fly.

While Rubio and Carson have the highest favorability ratings within the GOP field, Trumps and Cruz still hold a commanding lead with Rubio in a good position for a good night but let’s hope not. The Favorability for Cruz is considerably higher than Trump 65%-50%, Trump also has the less favorable rating among GOP voters with 47% with only his buddy JEB! beating him out with 53%.

Enthusiasm! Enthusiasm is key to good turnout and Cruz also had The Donald’s number in this category as well beating him 56%-44%. It appears to me that the enthusiasm gap we see in the polls echo trump’s thinning crowd today. His absence at Thursday’s debate may hurt him but then again, what has hurt him?. We will see.

My prediction is that we will be going late into the night with a close race and Ted Cruz’s favorability/enthusiasm will set him up to pull of the upset. I really think the establishment media will be dead wrong about Rubio but with JEB! hardly showing a heartbeat in the race, his supporters might jump ship to Rubio and insure a strong 3rd place.

Ted really needs to win tonight or he faces a real uphill battle in the coming primaries with Trump up big in NH and SC.

It’s going to be a real barn-burner tonight and I hope everyone is caffeinated for a very long, interesting night!

Tuck Frump!!!…Or something

Degenerate liberals are at it again! By now many of you have seen the “Tuck Frump” video on YouTube. Now don’t be fool by the incredibly clever and very original use of Pig Latin. File this one under “cringe worthy”. If the disproportionate ratio of dislikes vs. likes weren’t an immediate sign of the brain dead, pathetic attempt at “comedy”, maybe the disingenuous, baseless attacks will be. Now in the interest of saving the readers of this post a wall of text to debunk this mess, I’m going to let Paul Joseph Watson do the honors…

 

Well done Mr. Watson, well done!

Now I would’t call myself a “Trump supporter” I personally am on the fence about him but I just could not resist showing everybody the level of stupidity coming out of a leftist’s mouth. I don’t know about you, but I find it hilarious that in classic liberal form, they get offended by words and then respond with, you guessed it, vulgarity! This is just further validation that in order to destroy a liberal just shove a microphone and camera in their face and they can’t wait to broadcast their SJW credentials to the unsuspecting public.

Now if you’re feeling like a little rebel and have a thing for self punishment, here is the link to original video…

FINAL WARNIG!!!! CRINGE. WORTHY! ENJOY!

Oregon Standoff Turns bloody: ***Updates***

Yesterday afternoon Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan and six others associated with the armed standoff with the feds at Malheur Wildlife refuge were on route to a tow called John Day 70 miles North of Burns, Oregon when federal authorities along with Harney County Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic stop on two vehicles containing the protesters.

CZuVcnIUUAAschR

Protesters that were taken into custody include the Bundy brothers, Ryan 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., and Ammon, 40, of Emmett, Idaho, along with  Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville; Shawna Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah; and Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda,Mont.

 

 

Pete Santilli, host of an online radio, and Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, ofCottonwood, Ariz. were also taken into custody at a seperate location nears Burns, Oregon.

Many describe it more as an “ambush” with armored vehicles and snipers in the trees. The deadly confrontation resulted in Ryan Bundy sustaining a minor gunshot wound and tragically claimed the life of LeVoy Finicum, 55. Some witnesses say (including his daughter via Facebook) Lavoy was unarmed and had his hands in the air and the the feds executed him shooting him in the face and three more times while on the ground. Other contradicting eyewitness accounts say that Lavoy charged at officers forcing them to shoot him.

Mark McConnell, driver of one of the cars that Ammon Bundy rode in, released his eyewitness account of what happened. This version seems to contradict the claims of LaVoy’s daughter and several other witnesses:

 

***Update*** Shortly after 11 A.M. PST, the FBI and local authorities held a press conference in Burns, Oregon where they did not really have new information on the shooting last night just mainly identifying the individuals that were taken into custody and The deceased victim was identified as LaVoy Finicum, 55. Both FBI investigators and the Harney County Sheriff David Ward all echoed the same remarks saying they want this to end peacefully and without additional loss of life.

A small group of the remaining protesters are still dug in at the refuge saying the’re ready and willing to defend themselves. They have moved government vehicles to block the feds from getting to the refuge and have also dug defensive positions in the snow anticipating a confrontation with law enforcement.

With both sides drawing a line in the sand and one side already suffering a casualty, emotions remain high and all we can do is hope and pray there is no more bloodshed because if there is, we know who wins.Obama and his fellow globalist criminal enterprise.

BREAKING!!! Frontrunner Donald Trump says he “probably won’t be doing the debate”! (Video)

At a campaign rally in Marshalltown, Iowa Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told reporters “Most likely, I wont be doing the debate.”

Trump went on to add that Kelly was was a “third rate reporter” and asking what games is Roger Ailes Playing. “What’s going on over there?” he asks. “I came to Iowa prepared to do the debate, but after Fox news sent out “wise guy press releases so I said Bye-Bye.”

Mr. Trump said he might do an event to raise money for veterans while the debate is going on. ‘I want to make the wounded warriors rich, not Fox News” trump added

“He’s definitely not participating in the Fox News Debate,” Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said “His word is his bond.” Lewandowski told The Washington Post.

Trump has called for Fox News to remove Megyn Kelly as a moderator for Thursday’s debate ever since Trump says she was unfair in the first debate. It will definitely be interesting to see who  this affects more, Fox New’s Trumpless Debate rating or Donald Trump’s numbers at the polls which is clearly where it counts. We will see.

Fox News/Google GOP Debate lineup announced!

The stage is set in Iowa as candidates square off 4 days before the Iowa caucuses.Today on Fox New’s Special Report Host Bret Baier announced the eight presidential candidates that will be participating in Thursday night’s debate on Fox News.

DeLay Ready To Indict Hillary Clinton

On Monday Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) told The Steve Malzberg Show that The FBI is ready to indict Hillary Clinton on federal criminal charges. This stemming from 1,300 classified documents that have surfaced on her private serve putting her in direct violation of the Espionage Act (18 U.S. Code & 793 subsection f) which is very clear.

By all indications the FBI is ready to indict Hillary and FBI insiders have said that if the Obama Justice Dept will not follow the FBI’s recommendation,they will go public with their findings.

“I have friends in the FBI and they tell me they’re ready to indict Mrs. Clinton. They’re ready to recommend an Indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they will go public.” DeLay told The Steve Malzberg Show.

 

 

DeLay added “One way or another she’s going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she’s going to have to face these charges.”

 

Former Attorney general Michael Mukasey also spoke with Malzburg on Monday telling him that if The Obama Justice Dept. does no indict, it would result in Watergate level resignations.

“The fact is that the president can direct the attorney general not to bring charges. The attorney general works for the president and the president can order that Although I can’t believe that you wouldn’t get people resigning in the wake of something like that, the same way that we did at the time of Watergate,” Mukasey said.

1,300 classified E-mails are just the tip of the iceberg as the FBI has recently expanded their criminal probe to Public Ethics violations pertaining to conflict of interest “Pay to Play” schemes as Breitbart.Com reports.

 

Impotent Gun Control

“Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response at this podium end up being routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it. We’ve become numb to this.”

 

If you are like me, then hearing the words “Gun Control” one more damn time will induce vomiting. Yes, it’s in the title of this post, not my problem, make sure you have a trash can nearby.
In the wake of the Umpqua Community College mass shooting on Thursday, President Obama went on yet again about how “common sense gun laws” needed to be passed to prevent future mass shootings. But that’s just the thing. Not one of the previously proposed new gun laws would have stopped the mass shootings we have seen recently. He passed a background check for the guns he purchased and the rest were given to him by family and not even Obama’s SUPER-super-duper background checks could prevent that.
So you have to wonder, if all these SUPER-super-duper laws would not have achieved what they were said to achieve, then why push so hard for them? Well part of the reason is most politicians are so worthless they just have to do something in order for them to feel good about their useless existence. The more sinister reason is gun control is not about guns, it’s about control. Cliche I know, but it’s true. The common consensus about healthcare back in 2008 was “something has to be done!” Well something was done and we all got Punk’d!
We have had guns in this country since our inception. Hell, how do you think we got here? Does anyone find it odd that we have lost our minds in terms of gun violence just in the last decade or so?
The answer lies within us as a people. Our moral fiber is completely destroyed. Right is wrong and wrong is right. We don’t value human life anymore. We view life as more of an inconvenience more than anything. We abort the ones we don’t want at the beginning of the life and throw it into a home for someone else to take care of at the end of life.
Another key issue in society that iin my opinion plays a huge role in the current state we are in is the youth today feel this overwhelming need to be praised and recognized for anything and everything they do. If you coddle them and let them grow up thinking the world is some nice, fluffy marshmellowey place, pump them full of anti depressants, let them have access to guns in the house and turn them loose on society, what the hell do you think will happen at least most of the time?!
I will end with this question… You see so many gun grabbers talking about the “NRA lobby” and how evil it is and nothing will change because of it. A lot of people also say pharmaceuticals and mental health are also big issues in this country. So what are the odds those two things don’t get touched because of their lobbying which is apparently ok by some twist of logic and The NRA remains the boogie man. I’d say pretty high.

 

Keep it RIGHT, AMERICA!!!!!!
