It is only 4 hours after the attack so reports are still fragmentary and probably to a greater or lesser extent inaccurate. We do have this headline: Brussels airport and metro attacks kill 21 At least 21 people have been killed after an apparent suicide attack ripped through Zaventem Airport in Brussels and another blast…

The video is 13 minutes – the best stuff is in the first five minutes. I have no idea if all the stuff she says about Trump will turn out to be true. He is a politician. But a lot of people have the attitudes she expresses. I also have to ask, if Trump can’t…

I dunno. I’m guessing that this is a bad move for the anti-Trump folks. Maybe hard core Republicans don’t like that sort of thing. But the ad is running in Arizona. Which is geographically close to Nevada…. Every attack on Trump seems to make him stronger with the electorate. Maybe if his opponents stopped attacking.…

I could vote for Cruz. I could vote for Trump. I could never vote for Hillary. And Sanders – he is on the same path as Hillary. He just wants to go faster.

Trump 1) had his donations “redirected” by ADL because they despise him 2) was told off by the major Mormon newspaper because they also despise him and 3) in polling, is now losing Utah, Utah, to Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton! Losing Utah! To Clinton! Utah! Clinton! And that was just in my Monday news feed. Wow. I’m…

  The people protesting Trump have become unhinged. Or maybe they were already that way and Trump is just triggering them. You can read about the horse beating here. The short version: …the suspect, April J. Foster, 29, approached an officer and his horse, Dan, and began screaming in the horse’s face in an attempt…

    There is no inflation.    

About 5 1/2 minutes   Link to the video on You Tube.   We got into the mood the video comments on in ’68. We got Nixon. We got into it again in ’80 and got Reagan.

Does someone who accuses another of microaggression have a micro chip on their shoulder? Another version 21 March 2016 1751z The kids these days are so afraid of microagression that they carry a micro chip on their shoulders.

A black Trump supporter beats on a Trump protesting white guy (who was dressed in a KKK hood) at a Trump rally. (pictures at the link) If this was a movie people would say the plot is unbelievable. A commenter to the linked article had this to say: Cameliabud, NC, United States Shame this news…

I’m going to post a few videos showing in their own words what some black people think of Donald Trump.       And of course how could I leave out Diamond and Silk.       Update: 20 March 2016 0953z I did some further looking around an found a Geraldo video about the…

I’m starting to wonder. The Republican Party is absolutely panicking at the thought of Trump as the Republican candidate. Why? Trump is a “lets make a deal” kind of guy. What is it they want that Trump will not make a counter offer? Until they make a deal. What is the deal breaker?

WikiLeaks has a searchable database of Hillary Clinton e-mails that were recently released. I tried the site. When I entered the search term – State Department NSA – the gateway timed out. A 504 Error. I’m going to try again. I’ll update when I get a reply from the database. I just tried again and…

There are reports that Trump is getting blue collar Democrats to switch parties. The movement is called Ditch and Switch. Professor of Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, Dr. G.

What would it take for Trump to win some of the voters who are currently supporting Bernie? He has already set himself up for the move. When pressed for his opinion on medical marijuana, Trump noted that he was “a hundred percent” in favor of medical marijuana’s legalization. All Trump has to do is promise…

I think Donald Trump has mined the racist (KKK) vote for all he can get and is now pivoting to the center. Evidence? Donald Trump Is Going To AIPAC Republican frontrunner Donald J. Trump pulled out of next week’s GOP debate in Salt Lake City, prompting its cancelation, so that he could address the American…

The Daily Caller is running a piece on Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz, A Bush By Another Name. Neil Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush, who defrauded U.S. taxpayers out of $1.5 billion dollars in the savings and loan scam, and later peddled influence for the Chinese government, (who plied him with Chinese…

Trump has already started running his general election campaign.   The ad is only 15 seconds and makes Hillary a laughing stock. And of course I’m running it here for free. Scott Adams (Dilbert) explains the technique. Remember that Linguistic Kill Shots such as low-energy, little Marco, and robotic generally have two characteristics that make…

It certainly seems that way to many. What I think may really be going on is this: …every once in a while, voters discover they have the power to do something they have never done before; and that discovery itself becomes a significant political force. Sticking it to the powers that be by electing a…
