    and then there is this:

    and for a good laugh in seeing how seemingly smart folks get muddled by their PC thinking look at this
    http://www.wnd.com/wnd_video/trump-or-clinton-which-candidate-makes-you-feel-safer-the-view/
    soon all of them will be singing Trummps praises after a couple more muslim attacks…… its not rocket science, but they think it is.

    Newest polls still with same Trend in general election.

    I noticed that you never answered to my question regarding the accuracy of those same polls 8 months ago last July in predicting todays status and numbers? That would be a good indicator as to their accuracy in predicting the matchup 8 months from now.

  4. Newest polls still with same Trend in general election. Hillary up accept except Kasich who beats her by 8. He based on the polls is the best GOP candidate for the general election consistently. Trump the worst and Cruz is close second to Hillary.

    General Election: Trump vs. Clinton Quinnipiac Clinton 46, Trump 40 Clinton +6
    General Election: Cruz vs. Clinton Quinnipiac Clinton 45, Cruz 42 Clinton +3
    General Election: Kasich vs. Clinton Quinnipiac Kasich 47, Clinton 39 Kasich +8
    General Election: Trump vs. Sanders Quinnipiac Sanders 52, Trump 38 Sanders +14
    General Election: Cruz vs. Sanders Quinnipiac Sanders 50, Cruz 39 Sanders +11
    General Election: Kasich vs. Sanders Quinnipiac Sanders 44, Kasich 45 Kasich

  5. UTAH CAUCUS: First hand insider report – Incompetence, Manipulation, and Ballot Stuffing!!!
    Just got back from my caucus… My head is still spinning.

    Check in was slow but reasonably controlled. Super-long lines. I’ve never seen turnout like this.
    Got my credentials, but no presidential ballot. They said those would be delivered to our caucus room.
    Got to my caucus room. I counted about 120 people there (no idea how many were actually registered and credentialed).

    We elected Precinct Officers, State Delegates, and County Delegates – the typical incompetence and ignorance of the rules you’d expect to see from volunteers, but all went somewhat smooth.

    …Then came the Presidential Ballot.

    Someone shows up with a stack of probably 250 ballots. The precinct chair splits them up, and starts handing stacks of them out and tells people “take one and pass it down”.
    No checking credentials, IDs, NOTHING.

    I’m sitting at the end of a row and people start handing me stacks of extras. I literally had over 50 ballots in my hand.
    We were told to mark our vote and place our ballot in a tin can. They then asked for a volunteer to hold the can. At this point, most people filed out the door.
    I cast ONE vote, then stuck around to see what would happen with the votes.

    About 15 minutes later, with only about 10 or so people milling around, someone walks in the room with an envelopes STUFFED full of “absentee” ballots – some envelopes having 2-5+ ballots.

    I raised a question and said, “isn’t there an absentee process already in place? Didn’t people have to register for that last week?” and was told “Oh no, this is completely normal”.
    As I’ve mentioned in other threads, I was in Party leadership for 6 years and no, this is absolutely not normal.
    I then asked if I could observe the vote count, and I was told my observations where not needed and to leave the area while the ballots were being counted.

    I left the room (things were already a complete Charlie Foxtrot at this point) and wandered over to my friends precinct caucus to see if it was just as much a cluster.
    His caucus was just getting to the presidential ballot, and as I walked in the door I was handed ANOTHER BALLOT.
    Again, no credential check, no ID check, NOTHING.
    No, I didn’t vote again…

    I went back to my precinct and they had the results:
    74% Cruz
    14% Trump
    11% Kasich

    Now just imagine this kind of outright incompetence/manipulation happening in 2000 precincts across the state.

    As I left the building, I started overhearing results coming back from other precincts… Overwhelmingly numbers for Cruz… Like 70-90% or more. (In one precinct Cruz got around 100, Trump had 2, Kasich 0)

    Bottom line… They basically are going to post whatever the hell numbers they want.
    There were no apparent controls, no credential checks, no ID checks, and ballots being handed around like napkins.
    UTAH RESULTS ARE A COMPLETE SHAM
    And it just cost Trump 40 delegates.

    he says he’ll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

    Also we don’t care if the guy has bad hair.

    right on

    Here’s why we want Trump, yes he’s a bit of an ass, yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he insults people, we don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he’s been married 3 times, we don’t care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, we don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslin terrorist. This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal’s, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED” and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. We’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed.

    great post

    This is too long to put on the regular place where Trump is being discussed. Please read on. It is funny.

    Why I don’t support the Republican or Democratic Party

    I don’t know who wrote this, but it is fantastic and I wholeheartedly agree!

    Many have asked me if I support the republican party?

    Here is a letter I sent to the RNC… You be the judge…

    RNC
    P.O. Box 96994
    Washington DC 20090-6994

    Dear Representative,

    From the time I was able to vote I voted republican. I am 80 and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of senior ball players who also network with thousands of others around the country.

    I received your questionnaire and request for money and strongly agree with every question as I have since Obama was elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is “What has the republicans done for the American people?” We gave you a majority in the house and senate and you never listened to us. Now you want our money.

    You should be more concerned about our votes not our money. You are the establishment which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets… Well guess what? “It’s not going to happen” You can shake in your boots when I tell you our movement is for TRUMP and he hasn’t asked for a dime.

    You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self destruct course but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses. Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in a state of New York.

    If you really want to know how the majority of people feel? And this applies to both democrats and republicans, read below, it says it all.

    Sincerely,

    ———————————————————–
    You’ve been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately… You call the city, 4 different exterminators but nobody could handle the job… But there is this one guy and he guarantees you to get rid of them, so you hire him. You don’t care if the guy smells, you don’t care if the guy swears, you don’t care if he’s an alcoholic, you don’t care how many times he’s been married, you don’t care if he voted for Obama, you don’t care if he has plumber’s crack…you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He’s the guy. He’s the best. Period

    Here’s why we want Trump, yes he’s a bit of an ass, yes he’s an egomaniac, but we don’t care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don’t care that Trump is crude, we don’t care that he insults people, we don’t care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don’t care that he has changed positions, we don’t care that he’s been married 3 times, we don’t care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O’Donnell, we don’t care that he doesn’t know the name of some Muslin terrorist. This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal’s, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED” and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. We’re sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him, all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he’s also not a politician, he’s not a cowardly politician. And he says he’ll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

    Also we don’t care if the guy has bad hair.
    We just want those raccoons gone.
    Out of our house.
    NOW.

    You are welcome to pass this on…

    I feel this is why thousands of people that haven’t voted in 25 years are registering to vote this year. The raccoons have got to go.

  16. @ honeybee:
    That’s interesting and useful information, HB. The most recent poll, by a reputable national opinion research organization, shows Cruz and Trump even, with Rubio far behind, but with 5%-6% undecided. So it can break either way. But real close is a reasonable expectation. I agree with your synopsis of Kasich, Carson and Rubio.

    Every time I think of Texas, I miss Tex-Mex chili, and the appearance in the distance of the first faraway buttes to the south, coming out westward from Amarillo and heading toward New Mexico on the Interstate. If you’ve ever driven that route, you probably have seen the same landforms out in the distance.

  17. @ ArnoldHarris:

    it’s a dog fight between Cruz and Trump. Cruz has ties to oil. Texican like , including Hispanic, like a man with cojones and Trump puts on a show. “Steal Big” Kasich to milquetoast, Carson to gentle and Rubio to desperate.

  18. Honeybee, undisputed queen of ChitChat Land:

    You being a Texican, probably know better than the rest of us how strong is Cruz’s political pull in your state. I’m quite sure Ttump will sweep most of the multistate political pool table three days from now, and will essentially flatten Rubio’s candidacy. But at least one poll shows Cruz beating Trump by about 6-7 points.

    So what do you think about all this?

  28. WOMAN JAILED FOR REFUSING FEDERAL ORDER TO COMMIT PERJURY
    Case erupts over speech rights, due process and signature on tax forms

    http://www.wnd.com/2016/02/woman-jailed-for-refusing-federal-order-to-commit-perjury/#piSuZFzDJkod0l0Y.99

    an interesting case of a gov vendetta against a guy and his wife. the husband wrote the book “cracking the code” which demonstrates that the IRS and gov knowingly missapply the law to steal billions. Its a bizarre case and in the comments are some links to deeper info.

    kangaroo steaks
    its chit chat, there is no other forum on the suject which should interest folks as it will determine the next few decades of keeping our economy down.

  32. Sneaky Change to the TPP Drastically Extends Criminal Penalties
    https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/02/sneaky-change-tpp-drastically-extends-criminal-penalties

    the TPP is apparently not a trade agreement but a document of protection for international corps. I expect that the first target will be the USA where corps that leave the USA can from abroad protect their future economic dealings in the USA by obligating the USA to this foreign treaty. Future corrupt pols will tell us there is nothing they can do because we signed this secret treaty which was promulgated by that cabal of current pols of both parties with their donors.

  34. Bear Klein Said:

    A kangaroo does not chew the cud and does not have a cloven hoof. So it is not kosher.

    Sugar Bear, their are NO NARSUPIALS in the ME, so who knows what Moses would have said about the ” cleanliness” of kangaroos. AS for the IDF, with those big ears how could a kangaroo wear those cute Berets.

  36. mar55 Said:

    The birds who are scavengers, I would not eat their meat either

    Do you eat chickens? They are scavengers and will eat anything. my Grand mother use to say people will eat chicken and not horses, when horses are so much cleaner.

  37. @ Bear Klein:
    If they wish to emigrate and join the IDF they are welcome. They could kick the Arabs up in the air and the IDF could use them as a target. It would make a funny movie.
    KICK AND SHOOT.

  38. @ mar55:
    With regard to land beasts, Deuteronomy and Leviticus both state that anything which chews the cud and has a cloven hoof would be ritually clean, but those animals which only chew the cud or only have cloven hooves would be unclean.

    A kangaroo does not chew the cud and does not have a cloven hoof. So it is not kosher.

    However if they wish to emigrate and join the IDF they will not have to worry about being eaten now. They will be rewarded and paid based on how many Arabs they kick. They should be motivated because Kangaroo meat is Halal so the Muslims would eat them.

  39. @ Bear Klein:
    Bear, it has nothing to do with the eating. For example, the Iberian pig is raised on a diet of acorns and wild grass and yet it is not kosher. $94.00 for 4 ounces.

    It has to be an animal with a cloven foot. The cloven feet of the pig qualifies him, however, he does NOT CHEW HIS CUD.
    Does a kangaroo chews his cud? I do not know and would not want to find out.
    The birds who are scavengers, I would not eat their meat either. Even if you swear that it is a kosher animal. Thank you for your input on roos. You are also funny. However, the undisputed queen of humor in this place is honeybee.

  45. @ honeybee:

    Who says I am making jokes? Kangrooooes to my knowledge do not eat anything that would be considered treff (non- kosher).

    What I have not figured out is who is their rabbi? Are they eligible to make aliyah according to the law of the return? Are they a lost tribe? I think they would be great in the IDF. The Arabs already think we have eagles and hawks working for us as spies why not Arab ass kicking Rooos.
