GOP Congressman Confirms John Boehner DOES NOT Have The Votes to Remain Speaker

By clyde - Aug 3, 2015             

Things are looking bad for John Boehner. The Speaker of the House will apparently be losing his leadership role, as he can’t get the votes to remain speaker.

Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot Radio spoke to Florida Republican Congressman Ted S. Yoho, a serious voice for conservatives who believe in limited government, fiscal conservatism,
personal responsibility, and free enterprise.

This Florida County Just Totally Trolled Critics Of The Confederate Flag. And It Is GLORIOUS!

By clyde - Aug 3, 2015             

True, as long as there is controversy to be had, the battle is going to continue to rage on. But I’d take this as a sign that Southerners are definitely keeping their sense of humor about this.

According to this, the NAACP has been pressuring Walton County, Florida, to take down a Confederate Battle flag that flew over a Confederate monument near their county courthouse. Walton County officials said “Fine, we’ll take it down.” But they replaced it with ANOTHER flag associated with the Confederacy (there are at least a dozen of different ones).

Report: Clinton Aide’s Dual Roles May Have Broken Conflict of Interest Laws

Sen. Grassley: Investigation 'found at least a reasonable suspicion of a violation'

The State Department’s top watchdog found “reasonable suspicion” that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s second job as a private consultant may have broken conflict of interest rules, according a letter sent by the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The finding was included in a State Department inspector’s general report, which was first disclosed by the Wall Street Journal on Friday. The report also said Abedin was overpaid by $10,000 while at the State Department, but Abedin is disputing the finding.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) said last week that he had learned the State Department’s inspector general found potential evidence of wrongdoing during an investigation into Abedin’s simultaneous work for the State Department, the Clinton Foundation, and the consulting firm Teneo.

The IG report has not been made public. Grassley wrote in a letter to Abedin last Thursday that the investigation “found at least a reasonable suspicion of a violation” of the conflict of interest statute due to “acts affecting a personal financial interest related to conflicts of interest connected to your overlapping employment.

5 year old White Girl Shot & Killed by Black Guys: Al Sharpton Silent. I’m Shocked

By clyde - Aug 3, 2015

Five-year-old Laylah Petersen was sitting on her grandfather’s lap when she was struck and killed by a hail of gunfire on Milwaukee’s northwest side. Two suspects described as black American males approached the house, which belonged to her grandparents and opened fire, killing Laylah.

Milwaukee Police Capt. Eric Moore told reporters that the shooting was reported shortly after 6 p.m. According to Moore, the home was targeted, and police were searching for suspects. Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn, said two individuals approached the house and fired numerous times, with one bullet piercing a wall and striking the girl in the head. A woman who lives across the street from where the shooting took place said she heard about six shots before she called 911.

NYT: Damn These Republicans For Dishonoring Their Commander-in-Chief on the Iran Deal

Guy Benson | Aug 03, 2015        

                         

The tiresome, partisan New York Times editorial board is terribly unhappy with Republicans, which means it's a day ending in 'y.'  This time, they're upset over vigorous, substantive opposition to the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran, which they cast as borderline treasonous:

The exaggerations and half-truths that some Republicans are using to derail President Obama‘s important and necessary nuclear deal with Iran are beyond ugly. Invoking the Holocaust, Mike Huckabee, a contender for the Republican presidential nomination, has accused Mr. Obama of marching Israelis “to the door of the oven.” Tom Cotton, a senator from Arkansas, has compared Secretary of State John Kerry, who helped negotiate the deal, to Pontius Pilate. What should be a thoughtful debate has been turned into a vicious battle against Mr. Obama, involving not just the Republicans but Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. The unseemly spectacle of lawmakers siding with a foreign leader against their own commander in chief has widened an already dangerous breach between two old allies. Policy considerations aside, what is most striking about the demagoguery is how ahistorical, if not downright hypocritical, it is. Negotiating with adversaries to advance a more stable world has long been a necessity, and Republican presidents have been among its most eager practitioners.

BACKGROUNDER ON REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
We have observed increasing manipulation of the electoral process since 2008 and 2012, both of which focused on defeating Mitt Romney and keeping Barack Obama in office. The Powers that Be (PTB) get certain things done only under Republican control (restricting civil liberties and expanding the phony patriotic war on terror) while leftist Democratic administrations push forward socialist programs (like Obamacare). The PTB capitalize on the inevitable backlash each administration brings to give the public their version of change, which is comes in the form of a controlled opposition. This time around I feel confident the kingmakers are intending to give us a controlled Republican president, so a review of this year's record number of GOP presidential candidates (16 major ones out of 37 total) is needed. I'll give particular attention to those that are controlled and those that are somewhat independent.
