Cruz Apparently Been Cruzin!

The media has gone hog wild over the National Enquirer cover suggesting Ted Cruz has "five" mistresses!

Cruz is quite the ladies man!  Who knew?

But the media is falling all over themselves to inform you of all the sordid details, just as soon as they find any.  Don't worry, it continues to be reported that rumors are being reported, with sources nobody know who know.

Yes, the National Enquirer did hit a home run, exposing former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards for the scum bag we always knew him to be.

But, the media is really overheating on Cruz.

Man, I don't recall even a mention when a tabloid exposed Obama for his gay activities, which at least to this point, have substantially more evidence behind them than the story about Cruz does.

Was there widespread media attention to this story reported in World Net Daily, with more reported HERE. Did anyone alert the media to this most troubling account?  What about his relationship with his former associate Reggie Love and others?

The media is biased at a minimum but actually complicit backing those in power who are participant in the destruction of our nation.

Oh well, nothing to see here. Ted Cruz is the new Brad Pitt. Carry on.

An Appetite of a Garbage Disposal.

The progressive left has placed America on a steady course to a European social democracy in "endless pursuit of goal that cannot be achieved".

An appetite of a garbage disposal.

A government powerful enough to give is equally powerful enough to take away. The action is not about helping the citizenry; rather about controlling it. Increasing government control over the citizenry places the individual on a road to serfdom.

Free markets and limited government empower the individual, and create the best path to prosperity.

Why more government is NEVER enough for liberalism

Common Core A Free Agency Departure

Common Core is much more about control of the citizenry that building a more productive public school system. It is the federal takeover of the education system, providing the basis for indoctrination of our youngsters. While robbing children of their free agency, it boxes them in and is prohibitive to critical thinking.

A Player On The Other Team

As GOP presidential front runner Donald Trump accurately notes, "The terrorists are totally winning."

We found that out the hard way again today in Brussels, where an orchestrated systematic attack occurred this morning.  We join Sen. Ted Cruz in lifting all those affected in prayer.

In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Obama is having a grand time chastising America in Communist Cuba, catching a Tampa Bay Rays game. While Brussels Bleeds, Obama Does the Wave

But are we allowing their success under our anti-American president?

"Everything he [Obama] has done has supported murdering Islamists and the Caliphate. He bows to Iran and is importing an invading Islamic force into the US. The rapidly expanding number of terrorist attacks, nations targeted and civilians killed virtually guarantees that terrorism will continue set new records in the years ahead. Thanks to Obama, a number of those records will no doubt be in the US." --Terresa Monroe-Hamilton.

Agree wholeheartedly.

As evidenced, not by his rhetoric, but by his actions, which dictates it is reasonable to conclude Obama is playing for the other team. In fact, there is evidence he has been a player on the other team, The Muslim Brotherhood, right from the start.

Firebombing Truth

A few weeks back, I had the occasion to visit with Breitbart's Sonnie Johnson. The impressive Johnson is not playing around; she is firebombing TRUTH!

Johnson is a disciple of Andrew Brietbart, the conservative innovator who dies suddenly just when the fight of Obama's overreach hit full stride.  The Breitbart Organization was founded by those associated with Andrew to continue his, our, fight. "I promised Andrew 2 things... More voices and I'll sell freedom...I will keep my promise" said Johnson.

Johnson notes the GOP establishment fails to recognize and build upon their own history. Beyond the recent rejection of the Tea Party movement, they fail miserably in the inclusion of the African American community, whose long history in the party houses Booker T. Washington and MLK.

An army of folks are ready to embrace freedom and liberty, but the GOP fails to recognize their value while embracing the continuance of the ruling class.

"They want rain without thunder and lightning."--Frederick Douglass.

It is time we roll in with some thunder, disrupting the business as usual crony capitalism we find so commonplace in today's world. It is time we all stand with Sonnie!

Americans Reject Clinton's Failure and Fraud

With the GOP establishment in the throes of death fighting to stay alive, many are worried that out of the ashes of the turmoil comes the election of Hillary Clinton.

Unless the GOP denies the will of those who voted, that result is highly unlikely. According to John Kass of The Chicago Tribune, "Hillary can't win. She's the establishment candidate in year of insurgency."

America is full throttle anti-establishment, as evidenced by the successes of Trump and Sanders. Although Hillary will beat Sanders, in a year of insurgency, in the general, she remains a terribly flawed candidate.

Clinton, a classic insider of the elite ruling class, has little record of accomplishment and sky high unfavorables. In addition, much of the electorate considers her untrustworthy, if not an outright liar. She claims to be the answer of all the nation' problems, but has been standing in lockstep as a member of the team that has not only failed to fix the multitude of issues we face, but has made them worse.  Freedom, in the name of government fixes she has championed, has retracted.

While an indictment may be in her future, if not, her embodiment of the ruling class establishment will be exposed and prohibit her from further destroying the republic.Those who cause the problem are rarely the right choice to fix the problem.

Rubio Must Reacquaint With Principles

As a Floridian who supported the Senate campaign of Marco Rubio from its outset, it was sad to see Rubio handily defeated in Florida on Tuesday.

A campaign of promise, backed by Rubio's Tea Party roots and compelling personal story, was derailed early with his heavy participation in the Gang of 8 and exacerbated recently by his joining the establishment in personal attacks on Donald Trump; out of character for Rubio.

The damage is real and could potentially end his political career.

In concession, Marco Rubio noted America's climate, the fourth turning, a time of crisis, in midst of a “political storm… we should have seen this coming.” America is angry, and at this time does not provide an avenue for Rubio and his hopeful and optimistic message.

Rubio has too many strengths to just fade away.

Should Rubio become reacquainted with the principles he championed which led his rise, when the climate in America changes and enters a first turning, those across the fruited plain would welcome his seasoned message of hope and optimism.

At that time, I will look forward to hitting the voting booth to once again cast a ballot for Marco Rubio.

Security Concerns

Paid protesters at the direction of MoveOn.org (an organization Hillary Clinton helped start) forced the cancellation of a Donald Trump rally Friday evening in Chicago due to "security concerns".

Sen. Cruz sadly said "A campaign bears responsibility for creating an environment where the candidate urges supporters to engage in violence,"

Cruz is wrong.

Donald Trump is not to blame, the left is.

President Obama, the most divisive president perhaps ever, has created an environment which actively encourages division between race, class and economic standing. Trump accurately notes this, and those who are on the receiving end of the entitlements are prepared to initiate violence to keep them.

We appear to be carting a path similar to the election of 1968. Please pray for the safety of all our candidates, their supporters, the individuals who protect them, our police and our nation.

Free speech will not be silenced.

"I Can't Imagine Life Without Her"

Nancy Reagan, wife of 40th President Ronald Reagan,  passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 94.

She will be re-united with the love her of life, The Gipper, Ronald Reagan, our 40th president.

The love affair of the Reagans was something to behold, and Reagan's love letters to his beloved Nancy are a must read for romantics worldwide.

We remembered comments President Reagan made in 1994 regarding Nancy:

"Nancy Davis Reagan has led a remarkable life -as an adoring daughter, a loving mother, a devoted and sensitive partner, and a worthy ambassador for our country as First Lady. I have seen her cope bravely with life's most difficult challenges, exuding grace and dignitiy and strength. I am so proud of this woman...I can't imagine life without her." --Ronald Reagan.
 
God Bless Mrs. Reagan. RIP

Economic Idiocy of Sanders Supporters

What these Sanders supporters know about economics you could put in a thimble.

Sanders campaign slogan is "A Future To Believe In".

These folks, most without any skin in the game, fail to recognize that placing their prosperity in the hands of a bankrupt, both morally and financially, and oppressive government simply reduces incentive, attacks personal dignity and robs individuals from achieving dreams.

Economic idiots sure, but there is more to it than that.

It says something about the economic and social state of America that individuals would be willing to give up their pursuit of happiness to become a serf dependent on the generosity of bureaucrats.

Some future.

It should always be noted that free market capitalism is the best path to prosperity.

Carson Victory Path Cut Off

Dr. Benjamin Carson, after quite an effort, has recognized there is no path to victory for him in the rub for the 2016 GOP nomination.

Carson's run was not a defeat for him, or true Americans who recognize him and his accomplishments.  Not those in his professional and personal life, which are extensive and heralded.

While his campaign had successes, there were more hiccups. But through it all, Carson exhibited a calm demeanor with class and humor.

Could someone insult me? Carson quipped during the last debate, as he found himself absent from the dialogue.  Carson has several of those moments along the campaign.

This man can help America in a multitude of ways beyond the significant contributions he has already made.

If Dr. Carson is willing, it is my hope whoever wins the nomination will find a meaningful position for Dr. Carson. Not for political purposes, but to use his wonderful skills to benefit our nation.

Surgeon General? If we are going to have Health and Human Services, pick Carson to run it. The VA? I have no doubt Carson would get things right for our beloved veterans. I would not rule of VP for that matter.

Or maybe, as has been floated today, Carson could attempt to win Marco Rubio's departed senate seat here in Florida.  While we have some solid candidates already in the field, as a voter in the Sunshine State, I would welcome Carson entering the race.

Carson is a great man, and although he has suspended his campaign for the GOP nomination for president, I hope Carson does not exit the political stage, as he is an individual we could all benefit greatly from having his participation and leadership.

Right From The Beginning

Pat Buchanan says the emerging foundation of a new GOP is taking shape.

I find Pat in error when he asks "Who is campaigning, in either party today, for open borders, or passing The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or sending troops back to Iraq or into Syria? The DEMS strongly favor open borders along with establishment GOP who favor the cheap labor, and Rubio cast the sixtieth vote on TPP, which erodes our sovereignty and the power of Congress.

I do agree with Buchanan's assessment "the returns from the primaries look like the passing of the old order, the death rattle of an establishment fighting for its life, and being laughed at and mocked as it goes down."

Buchanan is a smart cat, and has been providing outstanding political analysis right from the beginning, pun intended as that is the title of a book written by Buchanan back in 1988.

A New GOP is Born by Patrick J. Buchanan

The Case For Cruz

BAHL Revere will  be casting a ballot on March 15 in Florida for Senator Ted Cruz of Texas for President of the United States of America.

To take a step back, the wide field for the GOP was a collection of outstanding individuals for consideration, with each and every one of them far superior to anyone the Democrats have running or thinking of running.

While a couple of them had no hope, some had stellar backgrounds and compelling visions for the future of America.

Rick Perry and Scott Walker were very accomplished men who for whatever reason were eliminated early on.  Both were outstanding, conservative governors.

Bobby Jindal has always impressed, but although he came out swinging, he never got any hits.

Sen. Rand Paul we hold in very high regard, but he got off kilter in many of the debates and did not in our estimation adequately address the terror issue, which sadly became a top discussion point in the aftermath of terrorist activity.

Carly Fiorina was tremendous, calling out folks and speaking with eloquent and intellectual precision, but she never could keep hold of gains she would make. If it were up to me, I would find something for her to do in the next administration.

The time has passed for Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, although Santorum does have keen insight on the Islamic situation, which could benefit the next president.

Chris Christie is a very smart guy and quite capable.  But over time, we have learned of his progressive leanings and we cannot get past his embrace, seemingly for political purposes, of President Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Brokeback Boardwalk we found appalling.

As governor of Florida, we had absolutely no complaints with the performance of Jeb Bush.  But Bush is now an open border man, spearheaded common core and thinks we need to move away from the Reagan years.  He must have lost his ever loving mind. Thanks, but no thanks.

We have never really embraced John Kasich, who we consider a conservative Democrat.  Had he switched parties, he may well be our next President.  He is a fan of Common Core and thinks government can pick winners and losers, which I abhor.

Dr. Ben Carson is a brilliant mind and a wonderful person, and would be dealing with healthcare issues in the next administration if it were up to me.  But we never saw him as "the man" this go around.

That leaves Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

Marco Rubio got our vote for Senate in Florida, where he campaigned as a Tea Party guy.  We elected him to go stop Obama.  Next thing we know, Rubio has team with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R:SC) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D:NY) to craft an immigration policy which allows forms of amnesty. In addition, Rubio cast the sixtieth vote on the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which we consider an attack on American sovereignty. Therefore, of the remaining three, he gets our bronze.

Donald Trump is an individual I have always liked over the years, and love his book "The Art of the Deal." In 2011, we asked Trump to run as a Democrat to derail Hillary, as Trump himself said he has always thought of himself as more of a Democrat.  Trump is scoring big on the issue of the border, and is also against the TPP, which no doubt helped him get the endorsement of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R:AL), one of our favorites.

We have been very disappointed with the demeanor carried by Trump during the campaign.  Trump does not take criticism lightly and appears to have an enemies list of those who he considers an opponent, which we do not condone.  Trump appears to not have a deep understanding of the Constitution, and seems uninterested with the constraints of placed on government within the document. He recently said he supports the healthcare mandate, which we deem unconstitutional.

The list of people who despise the candidacy of Trump includes many of our favorite folks, inclusive of Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Sen. Ben Sasse (R:NE), Dana Loesch, Andrew McCarthy, Dr. Thomas Sowell and David Barton to name a few.

Other folks we like are backing Trump, inclusive of Sen. Sessions, are Sarah Palin, Michael Savage, Eric Bolling and Steve Forbes.

Trump will get things done, and we consider him perhaps the Grey Champion described in work of Strauss and Howe in their "The Fourth Turning" book. As described by Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform, the Grey Champion "doesn't necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path." As America enters the period of a Fourth Turning, the arrival of a Grey Champion is a must, and he will come. Is he here?

While Trump is intriguing, a breath of fresh air and someone ready to place a well deserved kick in the ass to not only the GOP establishment but the entire ruling class, he exhibits too many liabilities to garner my support in the primary.

That leaves Sen. Ted Cruz.

In the last several weeks, the Cruz campaign has lapsed, having been taken off message and blindsided by some decisions made by staff members.  Cruz is in the weeds trading insults with Rubio and Trump and the news media.  Just this Sunday on FOX News, Cruz appropriately called out Chris Wallace, but when given the opportunity to knock him out with truth, failed to do so.

Cruz needs to get back to his original message, which empowers the individual, limits government, forces financial sanity and returns our nation the the friendly confines of the Constitution.

Much is made that Cruz is not well liked, but we view that as a positive. My vote is not sending him to Washington to get along with and do deals with progressives and socialist whose objective is to transform, if not ruin, the country as founded.

I know which politicians have been fighting Obama every step of the way, and Cruz leads that brigade. Cruz is a principled man with great respect for our founding who is country first, recognizing the expansive opportunities available in an America which champions liberty and freedom.

A major divide in the GOP is forming, and good people are getting in unnecessary scraps.  All of the blame can be placed on the GOP establishment, who have become one with the ruling class and have rejected the will of the governed.

While my ballot will be cast for Cruz, I fear it is too late with the Trump train having already left the station and I am quite certain Trump will win Florida easily.

Should Trump become the eventual nominee, while I have reservations beyond those documented above, I will support him against Hillary Clinton, who could never secure my vote, Micheal Bloomberg, who could never secure my vote, or a GOP establishment candidate (Mitt Romney?)should the GOP start playing games down the road.

America is over with the games, and that is why, in large measure, Trump is on his way to a landslide win, not only in the primary, but in November as well.

I think the Grey Champion is here.

Please Present The Evidence

Of all people to pull a Harry Reid, we find Mitt Romney this afternoon with Neil Cavuto.

 
Reid's false accusations against Mitt Romney regarding taxes were accurately deemed despicable behavior in 2012, and an attack on Donald Trump with respect to this topic is seemingly, no, it is, beneath Mitt Romney now.

We asked for, and never received, evidence from the low life Reid, who was lying.

Hey Mitt, present your evidence? Your diminishing credibility is at stake.

Or are you compromising principles playing establishment politics, which would be an example of why Trump is well on his way to the nomination.

Don't Eat The Apple

The government fight against Apple (AAPL:NASDAQ) regarding the San Bernardino terrorist case is much more significant than a quick glance would indicate.

In fact, "The San Bernardino fight didn’t come out of nowhere. The government thought it could use a terrorism case to set a precedent to get whatever it wants going forward.

Fortunately, Tim Cook said enough is enough and very publicly took his case to the people." Our government is flat out of control. I am not an Apple user and do not generally agree with Apple CEO Tim Cook on political and social issues, but I stand in firm support of Cook and Apple in this case. This case is not about catching terrorists, it is using terror as a mechanism to gain further control of the America people.

If Apple loses here, American privacy and liberties will be lost as well.

Ominous Banking Event Taking Place

Over at The Wall Street Journal, they have discovered an ominous event taking place; identifying a "NIRP (negative interest rate policy) "Doom Loop" that threatens to wipeout banks and the global economy".

Europe has just passed #8 while the US just passed #5. Once an "event" takes place, hypothecation reigns supreme and the loop begins to swirl at exponential speed. As the WSJ noted, "the consequences are deeply worrying" and Zero Hedge is correct in advising to "buckle up".

As painful as it will no doubt be, the correct course of action would be to allow a crash and reset rather than extending quantitative easing with bailouts, or God forbid, a new idea of bailing IN.

The Candidates Debate

It sure was an interesting GOP debate the other evening in South Carolina.

After an initial coming together to express condolences over the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (perhaps the worst day for freedom loving Americans since Obamacare was passed), things got rather dicey quickly.

This was to be expected, as South Carolina has in recent cycles been where the gloves come off, and winners and loser are separated.

However, it was particularly ugly on Saturday night, with the majority of the altercations coming, not from those initially attacking front runner Donald Trump, but Trump attacking & his challengers.

Trump labeled Cruz nasty and "the single biggest liar, a real nasty guy who does not get along with any of his colleagues. In a news conference today, Trump essentially went scorched earth on Cruz.

"Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. He is the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much".

Trump is feeling heat from Cruz, and unleashed a major attack, however, the Donald was sadly incorrect in his assertions.

I am not seeking a candidate who gets along with Congressional members who are complicit in the destruction of our nation.  Cruz called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor, and Cruz was correct in doing so in my opinion.

Given what CNN reported publicly, Cruz is also correct in the dispute with Ben Carson Trump references. CNN is not a sound news organization,  which Cruz's team should have known, but with the information out, it was not only appropriate, but a responsible and smart course of action to inform voters.  If anyone is to blame, it is Ben Carson for not making his plans known to his supporters to prevent any misconceptions.

And for the record, Cruz is also correct in his ongoing spat with Marco Rubio on immigration.

Then Trump really got going.
 
First, Jeb Bush has a much more favorable assessment of his family than most do.  Most folks think the Bush family are good people, and I certainly do.

As a Floridian, it is my opinion Jeb Bush, whom I voted for, did a great job as governor of the Sunshine State.  I gleefully voted for Bush 41 in 1988 but found his performance weak, but supported him again in 1992 against Bill Clinton.  I enthusiastically supported Bush 43 in 2000 and in 2004, and while I still consider his presidency successful and know he was far superior to his Democrat challengers, the more time went on the more disappointed I became with his administration.  However, my disagreements with 43 are minimal and my admiration for him (particularly as a man of class and honor) is strong.  It would be difficult for anyone to no consider the Bush family as a great principled family who care deeply for the United States of America.

But Trump got loose, calling not only the war with Iraq a mistake, but called George W. Bush a liar, commenting that Bush and his team had lied about weapons of mass destruction while saying under 43 "we were not safe".

After being attacked on 9-11, George W. Bush did in fact keep us safe.  Many can question the steps he took to make that happen, but we were not attacked again on our soil during his administration, unlike the Obama administration.  Argue about the Patriot Act if you please, and I will join you, but to say that Bush did not succeed in keeping America safe while prosecuting a global war on terror war is false.

As far as concluding Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq, I vehemently challenge that statement as false. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and they were moved to Syria and are there as we speak. As I noted in a post in December of 2012:

"No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought. The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it".

I have always personally liked Donald Trump and admired much of his business accomplishment and while he is not my first choice for the GOP nomination, unlike many, I had felt comfortable in supporting him should he win the nomination.

I am now questioning that assessment.

Donald Trump is not an idiot, so I am sure his attacks are based on some level of methodology. However, defeating opponents on merit and on the battlefield of ideas has often been superior to berating with opponents with name calling, lies and threats.

America is some kind of pissed at the establishment of both parties, and Trump has a very unique opportunity before him.  However, while I may be wrong, his scorched earth ramblings in recent days may not only burn up his opponents, it may engulf his candidacy as well.

Disagree with their policies as you wish, but I conclude neither Ted Cruz nor George W. Bush (and I note that Bush is no fan of Cruz) are liars.  Trump; however, is starting to look as though he may be.

Or maybe this is just South Carolina as usual.
