Looks like Crooked Hillary, Three Democrat-led State Governments and the “News” Media have conspired to try and distract voters with sophomoric barbs on things that occurred in the LAST CENTURY!

How else to explain the fact that Hillery Clinton demanded Donald Trump release his tax returns during their debate and now – less than  one week later – the NY Times was “mailed” a copy of Trumps 1995 tax returns:

The documents consisted of three pages from what appeared to be Mr. Trump’s 1995 tax returns. The pages were mailed last month to Susanne Craig, a reporter at The Times who has written about Mr. Trump’s finances. The documents were the first page of a New York State resident income tax return, the first page of a New Jersey nonresident tax return and the first page of a Connecticut nonresident tax return.

I.  So, the first question is why would voters care about 20+ year old tax information that was illegally leaked to a news organization with zero ethics? Let me translate the headlines for the denizens of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC): Billionaire Donald Trump is rich.

Duh.

So are the Clintons – just not as rich. What does this have to do with the road to 2020 in America?

II.  The second lame barb from “Her” is about a former Miss Universe who technically was under contract to one of Donal Trump’s organizations and who put on a little weight – in 1996-97??

Really Hillary?  This is your priority for America over the next 4 years? Illegally obtained and publicized tax returns and a pouting Miss Universe FROM THE LAST CENTURY?

An you wonder why Millennials find your campaign underwhelming?

III.  The 3rd and last question to the denizens of the Poitical Industrial Complex (PIC) and their Queen – Her Majesty Crooked Hillary – is:

Do you really think Americans are so stupid that they will base their vote for POTUS on this insipid prattle?

No need to answer, we can work it out for ourselves where your priorities lie.

To the American People I say this:

If we are tired of morons and crooks running our country we should stop voting like mindless party robots. The news media is feeding us 20 year old stale BS because they think we – the voters – are too stupid to think about anything not in the news. They think if they distract us with this stale crap we will be so mesmerized and impressed we will vote back in the same elitist who destroyed our economy and careers, destroyed our wealth and savings, and forced us to bring in millions of outsiders – many of whom hate America.

I seriously doubt this latest smear-fest by the PIC will work.  I have much more faith in the voters and their intelligence. These barbs represent the kind of gutter crap that as rotted out our world-leading democracy. BTW, did everyone notice all the news media companies supporting a Democrat for the first time in over 100 years? Think these companies were pressured to remember who gives them access to the news that makes them profitable? No access to news no news company. Just saying.

All of these events happened since the first debate last Monday. They are not coincidental or independent.  They represent the PIC fighting back against the rising voter backlash in a coordinated putsch.

Which means this time there may really be “change” we can believe in. The “News” media has lost its facade of independence and representing the people.  The government is all about servings it crony donors and getting a cushy consultant job at the end. The political parties couldn’t speak the truth if their lives depended on it. Our country is rotting from the centralized government out (no, the government IS NOT the leader of this nation – that is Main Street and its vision, relentless energy and ‘can do’ attitude). This year the 90% can contain and redirect the elite 1% who have failed everyone (except their bankers).

Reminder: The Political Industrial Complex encompasses all those elites whose livelihoods are predicated on central-control of resources and who determine who is allowed to succeed in society. It is a bipartisan exclusive club. It includes the Politicians and their career staffers. It includes crony donors and lobbyists who reap government windfalls and special treatment that average citizens cannot obtain. It includes the PIC industrial base of pollsters, consultants, etc. And it includes the pliant news media, whose success rest on access to those in power, and in return for access making sure no bad news will disrupt said power.

Major Update:  As the bellwether’s turn (against Clinton):

Trump now leads in Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Ohio and North Carolina – all states Barack Obama won his first term – according to Real Clear Politics averages.

End Update

This election year is proving to be very angst-driven for the denizens of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC).

The Political Industrial Complex encompasses all those elites whose livelihoods are predicated on central-control of resources and who determine who is allowed to succeed in society. It is a bipartisan exclusive club. It includes the Politicians and their career staffers. It includes crony donors and lobbyists who reap government windfalls and special treatment that average citizens cannot obtain. It includes the PIC industrial base of pollsters, consultants, etc. And it includes the pliant news media, whose success rest on access to those in power, and in return for access making sure no bad news will disrupt said power.

And boy are they shaking in their boots this year over Donald Trump. Which is a great sign if you are in the majority of people who believe this country is on the wrong track, who hold an unfavorable view of government (especially the federal government) and who have lost all respect for the Fourth Estate (“news” media).

The denizens of the PIC have literally (not figuratively) lost it. Check out this deep, long, river of denial from the Gray Lady (NY Times):

After decades as one of America’s most reliable political bellwethers, an inevitable presidential battleground that closely mirrored the mood and makeup of the country, Ohio is suddenly fading in importance this year.

Emphasis mine. I almost spewed my coffee reading this! Ohio has the longest winning streak of any state in terms of indicating which party will win:

Ohio – 2 misses (1944, 1960) from 1896 on (93.3%, slightly “too Republican”). Currently the longest perfect streak.

Interesting enough, there are three other “bellwether” states listed:

Nevada – 1 miss (1976) from 1912 on (96.2%, slightly “too Republican”).

New Mexico – 2 misses (1976, 2000) from 1912 on (92.3%, “neutral”). The state of New Mexico voted for the winner of the popular vote in 2000.

Florida – 2 misses (1960, 1992) from 1928 on (90.9%, slightly “too Republican”).

Today, on the RealClearPolitics site, these states are listed as OH +2.0 Trump, NV +2 .3 Trump, NM (no current data) and FL +1.2 Clinton.  So it would seem the bellwethers are mostly predicting a close race.  So keep that in mind as we explore the depth of the NY Times denial:

Hillary Clinton has not been to the state since Labor Day, and her aides said Thursday that she would not be back until next week, effectively acknowledging how difficult they think it will be to defeat Donald J. Trump here.

OK, Clinton is losing in Ohio.  Must be all those coal miners and other blue collar and union  “Deplorables” she impressed with her campaign. And of course, the NY Times understands exactly what is happening:

Ohio has failed to keep up with the demographic changes transforming the United States, growing older, whiter and less educated than the nation at large.

Oh my! Not sure how you “grow older” AND “less educated”. The wisdom of any life well spent is nothing to be sneezed at – unless of course you are an arrogant, young, over paid elitist with you nose up in the air! This reeks of desperate rationalization, aimed more at avoiding an unfortunate truth (which also seems to be brewing in NV and FL). Especially after you read this bit of brilliance:

But its Rust Belt profile, Mr. Trump’s unyielding anti-trade campaign and Mrs. Clinton’s difficulty energizing Ohio’s young voters have made it a lesser focus for Democrats this year. As Mrs. Clinton’s aides privately note, the demographic makeup of Florida, Colorado and North Carolina, which have a greater percentage of educated or nonwhite voters, makes those states more promising for Democrats in a contest in which the electorate is sorted along bright racial and economic lines.

Hmm, FL, CO and NC – none of which are showing anything more than a tight race…

The LATimes daily tracking poll today has Trump up significantly:

It would seem to me Ohio has not lost any of its predictive abilities.

On another front, you can sometimes learn the quality of a person more by his enemies than his supporters. So if you fall into the anti-NAFTA, anti-TPP, anti-globalism, the-UN-is-incompetent camps, then you will enjoy this bit of news:

The United Nations News Centre — the official U.N. news service — tweeted, then quickly pulled, a post that called for “8 million Americans abroad” to “stop Trump.”

The tweet, published at 9:14 p.m. ET on Thursday, urged American expats to share a voter registration tool on the website of the activist organization Avaaz that states, “U.S. Citizens abroad could defeat Trump … if they voted.”

The Web page, titled “The October surprise that will end Trump,” allows users to sign up for help registering to vote in the Nov. 8 presidential election and encourages them enlist their friends as well.

“At a time when Trump is trying to divide us, we could help defeat him if we all share this page with EVERYONE. Let’s reach every US voter abroad,” it reads.

The tweet was deleted within 20 minutes, without explanation.

Of course the globalists don’t want Trump to upset their little cash cows. And this peak behind the curtain that is the International Political Industrial Complex (IPIC) is not surprising.

If this is how the PICs in America and Brussels are responding to Trump – he just may be on to something!

OMG:

The first presidential debate was held and Hillary Clinton was proclaimed the winner by the media. Indeed Clinton was able to turn in a strong debate performance, but did she do so fairly? Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.

Emphasis mine.

We all have seen the headlines that the Political Elite are in full panic mode, and have jettisoned all professional objectivity to push Clinton over the finish line.

Are they so desperate as to help her cheat?

Clinton seemed to have scripted responses ready for every question she was asked at the first debate. She had facts and numbers memorized for specific questions that it is very doubtful she would have had without being furnished the questions beforehand. The entire mainstream media has specifically been trying to portray Trump as a racist and a poor candidate. By furnishing Clinton with the debate questions NBC certainly hoped to make Clinton appear much more knowledgeable and competent than Trump.

If this proves out (and there are witnesses to the hand-off by a NBC intern dressed as a Fed Ex employee) then this race is over.  And this is so easy to check – ask Fed Ex if they delivered a package that day – and this “conspiracy theory” will be debunked.

It is almost pathetic watching the denizens of the Political Industrial Complex (PIC) try and understand the political tsunami converging on their world. They keep wondering why the electorate does not see Trump and Clinton they way they do – and they keep blaming the electorate for having the blinders on.

Truly sad. The political elite are the “in crowd” of wealthy and powerful people who are the majority of the top  1-5% in America. Their world is the PIC.

The Political Industrial Complex encompasses all those elites whose livelihoods are predicated on central-control of resources and who determine who is allowed to succeed in society. It is a bipartisan exclusive club. It includes the Politicians and their career staffers. It includes crony donors and lobbyists who reap government windfalls and special treatment that average citizens cannot obtain. It includes the PIC industrial base of pollsters, consultants, etc. And it includes the pliant news media, whose success rest on access to those in power, and in return for access making sure no bad news will disrupt said power.

I have some very simple math for the denizens of the PIC to ponder : 5% is much, much, much less than 95%.

By being so insulated from Main Street, they have completely lost touch with, and the support of, everyone else in the country.

Yes, each Political Party has its robotic supporters, unable to ween themselves from the party apparatus and truly become free as “independents”.  But realize that the size of the voter pool outside the two main parties is growing, year over year.

And it is this non-aligned, non-tethered mass of voters that pretty much uniformly finds the country on the wrong track, disapproves of government, disapproves of the news media, etc.  These people do not require (nor want) government handouts or support.  They want the government out of their lives and out of their way so they can get to their version of Life, Liberty and Happiness.

This election is not about Rep vs. Dem.  It is the PIC vs the independent masses fed up with failure in DC and the rest of the PIC. There is an enormous chasm of priorities between the PIC (lining their pockets and trying to gain global domination) and Main Street (trying to raise their families, have a career and build for retirement).

These priorities ARE NOT in harmony. And in fact, most of the PIC ideas and agendas require the 95% to sacrifice more.  The denizens of the PIC are insulated from any and all ‘downside’ to the latest schemes of the Political Elite.

So when HRC came on stage and played the perfect little PIC candidate (as Rush Limbaugh noted), it was not surprise the PIC media hacks, consultants and professional nattering class swooned on how good she did.

And the other 95& wanted to throw up. Clinton is a tired example of tired memes running in an election year driven by a sick-and-tired Main Street.

All Trump had to do was look acceptable. He – by definition – cannot win a contest of Political Insiders.

And he would ruin his brand if he tried.

Trump actually did really well if you view this from Main Street vs the PIC. When HRC tried to claim Law and Order was her strength, Trump noted he has the endorsements that prove otherwise. When Clinton (filthy rich from political cronyism) claims the rich must pay and Trump – a self made business man- laughs her off Main Street laughed right with him

Main Street does not hate Trump because he is rich! They want to be like him – duh.

HRC actually was the low-brow, low-blow snarky candidate. Her comments about Trump were off topic for Main Street.  As where Holt’s tilted questions. Main Street does not care about Birtherism (Earth to PIC – Obama got his two terms). Main Street does not care about Trumps Taxes, we all want to be like him and make money and minimize our tax burden. Main Street does not care about who he owes money to  (where was the questions on the Clinton Foundation?)

What became clear is Trump can role over the press (Lester Holt, thank you for confirming that). He has fresh new ideas, and he does not get rattled easily (he was nothing like the caricature spun by the PIC).

Look, every newspaper is endorsing Clinton – good for Trump. Old and tired GOP leaders are against Trump – good for Trump (see ya Kasich). And the “conservative” #NeverTrump folks are fighting against his outsider threat.  All good for Trump.

In Trump Main Street sees a real champion. He is not perfect (who is – the Clnitons???).  But he is on the right side of the issues and he is gathering the right kind of opposition.

And the PIC cannot even comprehend why?

11:10 PM Eastern – final: On-line instant polls show a huge win for Trump.  But even Fox News (Megan Kelley??) seems to think Hillary won. Guess what – those inside the Political Industrial Complex see an HRC win. Main Street USA see a Trump win.  Who is right – polls over next week will show HRC losing traction.  The DC  bubble has lost touch.  The data will prove me wrong!

NJ online

Drudge

10:45 PM Eastern:

HRC Stamina? That is the last question?

HRC – I have hours in front of Congress.

Trump: HRC had experience – all bad.

10:37 PM Eastern:

Nuclear weapons

Trump was really good on this. He did what he needed to do. He went toe-to-toe with “the most experienced candidate” and was equal if not better. He was not a low-brow buffoon.

On HRC’s side, while she lost the debate on policy and style, she can now put her health concerns to rest (as I stated before the debate).

She will lose this election because she is the status quo politician spouting poll tested sound bites.

Holt – sit down and shut up and let the candidates debate.

Clinton – we don’t want more of the same.

Trump: Let’s bring on big changes in Washington DC!

The News Media is so obsessed with “framing” the race for Hillary they have forgotten to make sure the “frame” they are peddleing is not total nonsense.

For example, the big phrase this week is “Fact Checking” Trump’s answers to what are – at their root – nothing more than theories on social issues. Some famous “facts” that were really theories:

• It was a THEORY that Obamacare will make health insurance accessible AND affordable. The left bought into the theory and still refuse to admit it was wrong. But it was all just theory (and a very broken one at that).
• It was a THEORY that expanding home ownership to those who really could not afford the mortgage would help lift more people from the lower rungs of wealth and into the middle class.  The real estate bust of 2008 caused by this Democrat theory instead threw a lot of upper and middle class citizens (especially seniors) down the wealth latter quite a few rungs.
• It is a THEORY that open boarders are good for the economy and global security.
• It is a THEORY that higher taxes are good for the economy (John F Kennedy would of course disagree with this “fact”).
• It was a THEORY there are such things as “Shovel Ready Jobs” (this one is now known to be total fantasy)

So how can someone “fact check” an issue which at its core is really a discussion on possible paths forward and which would work best? A debate of ideas, priorities and strategies?

Since when did attempting to predict the future become a fact???

Tonight’s highly anticipated debate should either confirm or debunk a major “theory” roiling the internet – Is Hillary Rodham Clinton physically up to being the next President of the United States?

This debate is going to be 90 minutes long with no breaks.  That alone would test just about anyone. But if the theories about HRC “freezing” are true, there is a very good chance this event may trigger the condition in some form.  Cameras will be on her arriving and departing I am sure. And of course, there will be a lot of stress and pressure to perform well.

HRC is clearly the under dog in the debate, because she represents the status quo America is so ready to reject. The political elites and their globalist agenda (to line their pockets) are definitely not on the voters’ “most loved” list.  Globalism, the news media, government, economy, security, direction of the country are all very unpopular right now.  And HRC represents them all.

Trump is the beneficiary of low expectations, mostly provided by his enemies who have claimed he is a low-brow, mean, loose cannon. If he avoids all of that, his critics get to wear a lot of egg on their face.

So the question is, will it dawn on HRC how bad it really is going (even though the audience will be rife with political elites, globalists and cronies)? Will the stress or some other event cause her to “freeze’?

I would wager that if HRC makes it through tonight without any indications of a health issue, that will all be behind her (and rightfully so).  She already is carrying the baggage of the political elites, the globalist agenda, the crooked cronyism and the status quo – Trump really does not need her to carry the additional albatross of not being healthy enough to be President.

But if the combined insight if millions of minds working in unison across the internet is actually correct ….?

This night could easily be the election. And it could easily be another boring 90 minutes in political theater.  Cannot wait to find out which one it will be!

It seems Les Deplorables are truly rising up in protest against the Political Elites. Three clear signs have been detected that America (64% who feel we are on the “Wrong Track”) are in no mood for a typical, flawed politician for President.

Sign Number 1 – tilt in polls to Trump:

A recent Detroit Free Press/WXYZ-TV poll of the state, however, found Clinton’s lead shrinking from 11 points to just 3 — within the poll’s margin of error.

Michigan wasn’t the only state that swung toward the Republican nominee:

• In Ohio, Trump has a clear advantage at this point in the race. Polls there showed him up 3, 4, and 5 points this week.
• Iowa, which has voted Democratic in six of the past seven elections, also looks firmly in the Trump camp right now. A Monmouth University survey of the state found him up 8.
• Florida is as much of a toss-up state as they come, with a bit of a Trump bend in the past week. Two polls there gave the real-estate mogul a 4-point lead, while another showed Clinton up 2 points.
• Colorado and Virginia, two Democratic-leaning states that leaned more and more toward Clinton in recent weeks, both saw significant recent swings toward Trump. In the former, an Emerson College survey put Trump up 4 in the state. In the latter, Trump trailed by just 3 in a University of Mary Washington poll, though a Public Policy Polling survey found Clinton up a comfortable 8 points.
• In Nevada, a Monmouth survey found Trump up 2, a 6-point swing from August. Clinton leads by less than a point in the state’s polling average.

Reuters’ projections now see Election Day coming down to a photo finish, showing a 60% chance of a Clinton win by 18 electoral votes. Nate Silver’s forecast at FiveThirtyEight also gives Clinton 60% odds as of Saturday.

Sign Number 2 – GOP Gains in New Voter registration:

Republicans added hundreds of thousands of voters to the rolls since 2012 in states including Florida and Arizona, and narrowed the gap in North Carolina, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. In Iowa, Republicans prevented Democrats from surpassing them, aided by a court ruling upholding a ban on voting by ex-felons, who often register as Democrats.

Sign Number 3 – Trump Destroys Small Donation Record:

Remember when Donald Trump was having trouble fundraising?

Well, now he’s breaking records.

He’s gone from ending May with $1.2 million in cash on hand to breaking GOP records with small donations.

Trump has collected about $100 million from donors who have given less than $200, according to Politico.

No other Republican has ever amassed that much from small donations in a singe campaign, according to the report. The $5, $10 and $20 donations are typically collected by Democrats, and helped Barack Obama win the presidency twice and gave Bernie Sanders a deep run in the Democratic primary this year.

Even more surprising is that Trump has done all this in less than three months, as he didn’t start soliciting donations until June 21.

“He’s the Republican Obama in terms of online fundraising,” a source told Politico.

These indicators point to a large wave of protest voters rallying behind Trump.  Especially the record number of small donors. If the GOP is seeing a swarm of new voters rallying behind Trump (not the GOP of course) then the polls are probably not reflecting the 2016 turnout as they should. The one poll that does screen based more on intent than past voting is the one poll showing the greatest Trump lead (now +7).

I think it is time for the Dems to panic!

I think it is time America shoved a mirror into the faces of the Deplorable and Nonredeemable Political Elites.

Beginning with Juan Williams and his hate-filled screed:

She called out the haters, the bigots and the racists as a “basket of deplorables.”

…

So, I see a lot of deplorable behavior. But some political thought-leaders — including some Clinton supporters — prefer to excuse it as the actions of a few misguided people and not representative of most Trump supporters.

So Juan, when did Hillary and the DNC challenge the Trump Haters on the Left? I dare you to watch the whole video below.  Watch it and then realize Trump is NOT Davide Duke or Alex Jones. And if you think he is, then you and Hillary are nothing more than leaders to street thugs – and these are YOUR people!

Update: Many more Proud Deplorables here – End Update

Hillary just can’t help herself. Her political instincts (and those of her campaign) are just plain stupid. Everything backfires on her, probably because she is living in a fantasy bubble called the Political Industrial Complex (PIC).

The Political Industrial Complex encompasses all those elites whose livelihoods are predicated on central-control of resources and who determine who is allowed to succeed in society. It is a bipartisan exclusive club. It includes the Politicians and their career staffers. It includes crony donors and lobbyists who reap government windfalls and special treatment that average citizens cannot obtain. It includes the PIC industrial base of pollsters, consultants, etc. And it includes the pliant news media, whose success rest on access to those in power, and in return for access making sure no bad news will disrupt said power.

This strange and bizarre parallel universe is where all the political elites hang out – isolated from Main Street America (and the commoner world as well). The denizens of the PIC are very wealthy, very cozy with each other and one of they live in the most dense echo chamber on the planet.

Hillary is just the epitome of Political Correctness dripping from the center of the PIC.

But now Hillary has created a massive movement in the country, outside the PIC. She has created “The Deplorables!“.

It is becoming a badge of honor to be feared and attacked by the PIC. It is becoming fun to watch members of the PIC just collapse into lick-spittle rage, as the voters reject their self-anointed brilliance. For example:

Hillary, you recently labeled me — and millions of Americans like me — “deplorable.”

I am not deplorable. What I am is your worst nightmare: a woman, a mother and a voter who sees right through you.

In your remarks to an LGBT group, with liberal millionaire mouthpiece Barbra Streisand hosting your appearance, you waved your invisible scepter and banished millions of people from respectable society, just because you felt like it.

“Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it,” you said last Friday. “There are people like that, and [Trump] has lifted them up.”

Well, I’m concerned about national security, supportive of law enforcement, and a believer in traditional marriage. How does that make me “deplorable?”

There is even a great riff on how to determine if you too are “A Deplorable!” (similar to Foxworthy’s “you might be a redneck, if…”)

You may be a deplorable if you just got your car inspected.

If you’re deployable, you’re definitely deplorable.

If you wake before noon, if you call Islamic terrorists Islamic terrorists, if you don’t have an Obamaphone and you don’t believe that global warming is “settled science” — can you say deplorable?

…

Or if while watching the second Monday night NFL game you were less irritated by the streaker than you were by all the fawning coverage of Colin Kaepernick on the pre-game show.

You may be a deplorable if you resent training your H1-B replacement.

Or the fact that the Earned Income Tax Credit is NOT earned.

Nothing says deplorable like the National Rifle Association.

Hillary wanted to brand Trump Voters as subhuman (well, at least below the standards of the PIC). But by giving them a name, she gave them a rallying point, a joint cause.

Honestly, how could she have helped Trump even more? Given her political skills I am sure we will find out soon enough.
