[DAILYCALLER] All the people you'd expect to find there: Bill Nye the Science Guy, the guy who supported Lindsey Graham, whoever he is, Hillary, that guy who dressed up like a baby on Saturday Night Live and now he's in the Senate. I forget who else. I guess that's the whole idea, isn't it?

My least favorite part of the healing (ripping off scabs) process is how the congress abrogated its powers and responsibilities under the Constitution to enable this MoBro to get away with the things he as done.

In a real sense, he's been a lame duck since 2010. His willingness to ignore silly impediments like the law and separation of powers has kept his little dynasty going regardless.
[NYPOST] To hear the patronizing wise men of the Republican Party tell it, anyone who would vote for Donald Trump for president must be deranged. "Trumpkins," they call them, mental midgets and xenophobic troglodytes who've crawled out from their survivalist caves in order to destroy the Beltway Establishment.
How their resentful attitude galls the crack cadres of campaign consultants who brought conservatives halfhearted standard-bearers like John Maverick McCain ... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution... and Willard Mitt Romney ...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals.... to do sham battle against Barack Obama Dreams of My Sainted Father... in 2008 and '12, then return to the safety of the US Senate and a beachfront mansion in La Jolla.
The peasants are revolting!
And all on behalf of a bloviating billionaire whose conservatism and party loyalty are suspect.
Now, after months of whistling past the graveyard of Trump's seemingly inexorable rise and assuring themselves that his candidacy will collapse as voters come to their senses, a CNN poll released Wednesday showing Trump now lapping the field has the GOP establishment in full meltdown mode. The survey shows Trump with nearly 40% of the primary vote, trailed by Ted Cruz at 18%, Ben Carson ... a neurosurgeon who is under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president.... and Marco Rubio tied at 10%, and the also-rans (including great GOP hope Jeb Bush) limping along far behind.
Their panic was best articulated last week in The Daily Beast by GOP consultant Rick Wilson, who wrote that Trump supporters "put the entire conservative movement at risk of being hijacked and destroyed by a bellowing billionaire with poor impulse control and a profoundly superficial understanding of the world . . . walking, talking comments sections of the fever swamp sites."
Some might take that as a backhanded compliment. Can the GOP really be so out of touch with the legions of out-of-work Americans -- many of whom don't show up in the "official" unemployment rate because they've given up looking for work in the Obama economy? With the returning military vets frustrated with lawyer-driven, politically correct rules of engagement that have tied their hands in a fight against a mortal enemy? With those who, in the wake of the Gay Paree and San Bernardino massacres by Muslims, reasonably fear an influx of culturally alien "refugees" and "migrants" from the Middle East?

If we could ever rid ourselves of these thieving, 'elite' beltway party vermin, perhaps a new momemorative monument would be in order.
[YAHOO] The dustup over a data breach that briefly erupted in the Democratic presidential primary last week isn't over as far as Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , I-Vt., and his team are concerned.
In a conversation with Yahoo News, a top Sanders campaign adviser made a series of explosive allegations about how the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and a political technology company that works with the party handled the incident. According to the Sanders adviser, the DNC and NGP VAN, a firm that has a contract with the party organization to operate a voter file, have responded to the data breach by "leaking information" and "stonewalling an investigation" into the matter.
"We have demanded a full investigation from top to bottom," the Sanders adviser said.
Sanders' adviser noted that a lawsuit the campaign filed in federal court about the data breach last Friday, Dec. 18, is still ongoing, and described it as an attempt to get answers despite the party's lack of cooperation.
According to a blog post published by NGP VAN, the data breach occurred on Wednesday, Dec. 16. The company said it involved a "bug" in the software NGP provides to the DNC. NGP VAN software is used by the DNC to operate a massive file of voter data that is shared by the party and all of the Democratic presidential campaigns. Both campaigns also rely on NGP to store their private files. The data in the shared and private files is essentially the lifeblood of a modern presidential campaign. It includes information vital to campaigns' day-to-day organizing and strategy, including potential supporters they are targeting and how many voters they expect to turn out in key primary states.

Again, BOTH the RNC + DNC Conventions could end up brokered, which means the front-runner may or may not end up being their Party's nominee for the November 2016 POTUS election.
IFF NOT HILLARY OR SANDERS - WHOM???
IFF NOT TRUMP, CRUZ, OR RUBIO - WHOM???
AFAIC this November 2016 POTUS Election is as much as about the continuing drive towards US Socialism as much as US-led Anti-US OWG-NWO + Other, ... AND NO ONE OR NO POTUS 2016 CANDIDATE IN THE GOP OR THE DEMS, ETC. WANTS TO BE LINKED TO SAME OR ANY IFF THEY HAD A CHOICE!
[CELINE DION "TITANIC" (OBAMA'S NOT-MY-HEART "RED LINES", WE'LL STAY FOREVAR! THIS WAY WILL GO ON) THEME here].
[DAILYCALLER] The Department of Energy recently turned over more than 1,200 pages of heavily redacted documents in response to a records request about a subsidized biofuels company from The Daily Caller News Foundation.
In October, TheDCNF filed a FOIA request with the Energy Department, asking for email records from government officials regarding federal loan guarantees given to Abengoa, a Spanish-based green energy company. The request came on the heels of reports Abengoa was running into big financial problems, despite being given generous taxpayer-backed loans.
The DOE gave TheDCNF the records it requested Dec. 18, and after spending time reviewing the documents, it’s apparent there’s a lot of information the department did not want the public to see. The DOE redacted virtually all information specific to Abengoa — in many cases whole pages were blacked out.
Reporters were mostly interested in Abengoa’s $400 million biofuels plant near Hugoton, Kansas. The company got a $132 million federal loan and a $97 million grant to build the plant, but after a year of operation the plant seemed to be having problems of its own. Despite the hype surrounding the plant, Abengoa has filed for bankruptcy and halted operations in Hugoton.

My. I had no idea that federal loans to alternative energy companies were such a matter of national security.

I can see the greens squirming now. Oil, shale, gas all cheaper. Not a word on wind power. I'd bet their bottom line is looking really bad. It wasn't competitive ever.Taxpayer money to keep them in business. Two thirds built with borrowed money anyway. The silence is deafening.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
