NEW YORK (AP) — A new power player has emerged among the feuding factions behind Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, one that through the bonds of marriage enjoys a direct line to the Republican billionaire.

Despite limited political experience and some family baggage, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner is playing an active role in virtually every aspect of the New York real estate magnate’s presidential bid. And empowered through his marriage to Trump’s trusted daughter Ivanka Trump, the 35-year-old Kushner operates with an extraordinary level of autonomy within an organization now struggling to shift its focus toward the general election.   Continue reading “Trump son-in-law emerges as quiet force”

Starting today, it appears the US military will be testing a device or devices that will potentially jam GPS signals for six hours each day. We say “appears” because officially the tests were announced by the FAA but are centered near the US Navy’s largest installation in the Mojave Desert. And the Navy won’t tell us much about what’s going on.

The FAA issued an advisory warning pilots on Saturday that global positioning systems (GPS) could be unreliable during six different days this month, primarily in the Southwestern United States. On June 7, 9, 21, 23, 28, and 30th the GPS interference testing will be taking place between 9:30am and 3:30pm Pacific time. But if you’re on the ground, you probably won’t notice interference.   Continue reading “FAA Warns of GPS Outages This Month During Mysterious Tests on the West Coast… Massive EQ Drill & Mysterious Military test beginning June 7th”

Arabic is the fastest-growing language in American households — and that’s leading the US Census Bureau to explore the tricky task of adjusting its questionnaires to ­accommodate the language’s right-to-left script.

The bureau is using focus groups to explore possible changes to the 2020 census questionnaires for Arabic speakers who are not English-proficient, the Pew Research Center reported Friday.   Continue reading “This is the fastest growing language in American homes”

It has long been my contention that the elite are more than willing to do whatever they have to do to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.  There are many forms that this could take, and one potential option just became a little bit clearer.  On Sunday, the founder and editor of the Weekly Standard, Bill Kristol, announced on Twitter that there “will be an independent candidate–an impressive one, with a strong team and a real chance.”  Kristol has very, very deep ties to the Republican elite, and so this is certainly not an idle threat.  At this point we do not know who the candidate will be, but some of the names that have been mentioned include Mitt Romney, John Kasich, Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse and billionaire Mark Cuban.  Of course dividing the conservative vote would be suicidal and would virtually ensure a victory for Hillary Clinton in November.  So why would Kristol and other Republican elitists want to do this?   Continue reading “Bill Kristol Announces That ‘There Will Be An Independent Candidate’ To Sabotage Donald Trump”

A shocking new poll from Oregon shows Trump ahead 44%-42% overall and leading among independents by an incredible 27 points.

For reference, Obama stomped Mitt Romney during the 2012 election in Oregon 54.5% to 42.7%.

This is devastating for Hillary.   Continue reading “Poll: Trump Leads Hillary in Oregon 53% to 26% Among Independents”

We the People of the United States, actually have two national flags, a military flag and a civil flag for peacetime. They have several important distinctions and meanings.   Continue reading “The United States Civil Flag of Peacetime”

THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Our nation reveres the flag, not out of a sense of unquestioning worship but out of a deep sense of our national heritage. Strengthened by our noble deeds, splendid accomplishments, and untold sacrifices, the flag reflects America’s pledge to uphold Freedom and work for peace throughout the world. It is America’s strength in honor, as dignified in the stars and stripes of the flag, which helps to establish the moral character of our national foundation.   Continue reading “Flag Code, Etiquette and Laws”

The forever changing 9/11 story is entering a new phase. Blame is being transferred from Osama bin Laden to the Saudi Arabian government.

There are 28 pages classified secret of a congressional inquiry into 9/11 that allegedly found Saudi financial support for the alleged 9/11 hijackers. Neither the George W. Bush nor the Obama regimes would release the classified pages. Only a few members of Congress have been permited to read it, and they are not permitted to speak about it.   Continue reading “9/11 Disinformation: Saudi Arabia Attacked America”

SAN YSIDRO — Surging numbers of Haitians and migrants from other countries have been arriving at the San Ysidro Port of Entry in recent days, hoping for admission to the United States. Early Thursday morning, more than 200 people were crowded inside the port’s pedestrian entrance as they awaited processing by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Men, women and children were huddled together, sleeping under blankets on the center’s tile floor, while lines of pedestrians continued stepping through to the United States. Outside the facility in Tijuana, about two dozen people gathered in the open air, waiting to be admitted — a group that included Haitians, Mexicans, and French-speaking men who said they were from the Congo.   Continue reading “Surge of Haitians at San Ysidro Port of Entry”

Donald Trump the real estate developer owes much of his fame to the 1980s. Now Donald Trump the presidential candidate is going back to that decade to call on President Ronald Reagan’s economic team.

As the presumptive Republican nominee gets ready to put out his plan to boost U.S. growth, he’s sought advice from some of the most notable names in Reaganomics, including Arthur Laffer, Larry Kudlow and Stephen Moore.  More voters might support Trump if he can persuade them he will bring back some of the economic successes of the era when he penned his bestselling book, “Trump: The Art of the Deal.”   Continue reading “Reaganomics Band Gets Back Together to Advise Trump on Plan”

DUESSELDORF, GERMANY – The talks in Germany to flesh out December’s historic global climate deal are probably not at the top of Donald Trump’s agenda this week.

But the diplomats from 196 nations huddled in Bonn are keenly aware of the fact that the “The Donald” is now within spitting distance of the White House — and it is making a lot of them nervous.   Continue reading “Trump sends shivers down spines of nations trying to solidify global warming pact”

Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, is asking a federal judge to order a conservative group not to release audio or video recordings of a deposition Mills is scheduled to give Friday about Clinton’s use of a private email server during her tenure as secretary of state.

Mills’ attorneys filed a motion Wednesday afternoon saying they fear that the group that sought Mills’ deposition in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, Judicial Watch, will use any recording to distort Mills’ testimony and advance the group’s anti-Clinton agenda.   Continue reading “Hillary Clinton aide moves to block release of deposition video”

President Obama is racing against the clock to cement a massive Pacific Rim trade deal that all of his potential successors oppose, with his administration eyeing a looming fight on Capitol Hill while starting to implement as much of the complicated pact as it can.

The effort begins in Vietnam, where Obama spent the last three days touting the merits of the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership, which would link 40% of the global economy, and reassuring Vietnamese leaders key to the deal that Congress will ultimately overcome the thorny politics of trade and ratify the agreement.   Continue reading “Obama races to cement the big Pacific Rim trade deal that all his potential successors oppose”

As readers know, I have seen some optimism in voters support for Trump and Sanders as neither are members of the corrupt Republican and Democratic political establishments. Members of both political establishments enrich themselves by betraying the American people and serving only the interest of the One Percent. The American people are being driven into the ground purely for the sake of more mega-billions for a handful of super-rich people.   Continue reading “Americans: A Conquered People: The New Serfs”
