Sorry, WSJ, but the GOP Field Must Narrow

David is the brother of Rush Limbaugh and, as a
believer in Christ, authored the book, Jesus On Trial.

What does it tell you that Trump does better in open primary states where Democrats can vote for the Republican candidate? Cruz is said to do better in closed primary states where only GOP voters can vote for the GOP candidate. Liberals help pick the Republican candidate, then riot to protest him when he appears. I miss Carly. TD

David Limbaugh  "It is disheartening that the Wall Street Journal editorial board, for whom I had such respect for years, is discouraging a narrowing of the GOP field if either John Kasich or Marco Rubio wins his home state Tuesday.

"It’s bad enough for the editors to encourage Rubio to stay in if he wins Florida, but to invite Kasich to stay in is just madness.

"Their underlying assumptions are wrong. They strongly imply that if Trump wins both Ohio and Florida on Tuesday, he’ll be the inevitable nominee. They are encouraging a mainstream media narrative that is guaranteed to form Wednesday morning if Trump wins both states (and some of the others).

"In fact, truth be told, I’d wager that Ted Cruz’s team is hoping, grudgingly, that Trump does win those two states, because Cruz and company know, paradoxically, that this is their best chance to win the nomination outright, with the magic number of 1,237 delegates — or at least more delegates than Trump going into the convention." . . .

Genocide in Green

Doug Ross Journal  "The new leadership of the EPA proposed yesterday that the White House declare carbon dioxide a health danger. Carbon dioxide, which plants absorb and animals exhale, would be ruled a pollutant.

"It is a lie and fraud. You can't live without carbon dioxide and you can't live without water. Never mind that almost all greenhouse gas is water vapor." . . .

The post then moves to the consequences wrought by banning DDT:

"What does the hard left, environmentalist believe? I want you to know that they are responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of children all over Africa and Southeast Asia. Because they successfully banned DDT.
"DDT saved hundreds of millions of lives. DDT was used in the United States to destroy malaria."

. . . 
"In 1970, the National Academy of Sciences wrote in a report that ''to only a few chemicals does man owe as great a debt as to DDT'' and it credited the insecticide with preventing as many as 500,000,000 human deaths.

"But all of that changed in 1962, when Rachel Carson -- a rabid opponent of pesticides -- succeeded in spreading widespread hysteria about DDT's effects on wildlife and especially children. In her book Silent Spring, Carson decried the use of DDT.

. . . "She claimed DDT resulted in birth defects and mental retardation... and, yet, not one case has ever been proven. Not one. 

"Thus, it is a sickening irony that Carson's focus on children helped kill the use of DDT, when malaria causes the deaths of millions of children in the developing world. You see, the developing world is the target of the Enviro-Statist. For it is there that the Statist can more easily shape policy and control lives.

"And the mainstream media gobbled up Carson's lies. The Environmental Defense Fund and the Sierra Club brought litigation to pressure the government to ban DDT.

"An administrative law judge heard the case for months -- and ruled against the extremists. He said that DDT was not a carcinogenic hazard to man; that it was not a mutagenic hazard to man. He said the use of DDT does not have deleterious effects on freshwater fish, organisms, wild birds, or othe wildlife, let alone human beings.

"But the judge's ruling was rejected by the EPA administrator in 1972, William Ruckleshaus. He attended no hearings and reportedly never read the relevant documents. Evidence was later discovered that Ruckleshaus had a fatal conflict-of-interest: he served as a fundraiser for the Environmental Defense Fund, the very group spearheading the anti-DDT campaign. " . . .

Should Christians Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils?

Christianity Today via Modern Reformation

. . . "For starters, unless Jesus of Nazareth is on the ballot, any election forces us to choose the lesser of evils. Across every party and platform, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Still, the question is a valid one. Believing in human depravity doesn’t negate our sense of responsibility. By the standard of God’s law, every person is a liar, but that doesn’t mean we should hire an employee we know has a pattern of lying. Jesus taught that all who have lust in their hearts are adulterers, but that doesn’t mean a woman should shrug her shoulders when she learns her potential new husband is a serial philanderer.

"When considering the question of choosing between the lesser of two evils, we must begin with what voting is within our system of government. In our system, citizen is an office; we too bear responsibility for the actions of the government. Just as the lordship of Christ made demands for public justice on office-holders in the New Testament (Luke 4:15), the same is true for those who rule as citizens." . . .

'This side of the New Jerusalem, we will never have a perfect candidate. But we cannot vote for evil, even if it’s our only option.'

"Mike Adams is a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and author of Letters to a Young Progressive: How To Avoid Wasting Your Life Protesting Things You Don't Understand."

. . . "On that particular September morning when I was kneeling by the bed something interrupted the normal prayer process. It was this feeling of uncontrollable anger. It was so strong that I suddenly stop praying and started confronting God with questions. “Why have you left me alone to fight against these godless secularists?” “Why have you abandoned me after I have come to faith and taken a stand?” “Why have you left me weary and without the energy to go on?” And, finally, “Why won’t you cure me of the propensity to end my sentences with prepositions?” Just kidding on the last one."

" . . .I had a single message sent from a woman I met working at Summit Ministries several years earlier. The message was a literal Godsend. I have copied her words below and not a single one has been altered:

Hey Mike! So, this is really random, but tonight I was talking with the Father and He put you on my heart to be praying for. Sometimes He shows me pictures or gives me specific words also, and He gave me some for you. First, I saw you kneeling and it looked like you were all alone in a dark place somewhere. But then He let me see that picture zoomed out, and I realized you weren't alone or lost in darkness, you were inside His heart. Then I heard Him say that you have a very special place inside His heart. In addition, I pray specifically against any weariness or abandonment in your life and that you speak out His abundance, joy, comfort, and encouragement! You are not alone!!

. . . " Regardless, I thought it would be good to run this column for any of my readers who are presently in a dark place. The picture will eventually zoom out. Then you will see that you weren't really alone or abandoned in the darkness."

The Only Candidate Ohioans Dislike More Than Trump Is John Kasich

Whatever happened to that deep well of talent the GOP was originally said to have had before the first debate?

Kimberly Fletcher

"Why won’t Ohioans vote for their own governor for president? That is a questions I’ve been asked a lot lately. The short answer is he is no conservative. When you have a liberal media personality saying Kasich would make a great running mate for Hillary Clinton, well, that kind of says it all." . . .

. . . "Kasich went from being loudly outspoken againstObamacare in Ohio to embracing it. He went from promoting school choice to pushing Common Core on Ohio Schools. What’s more, he is opposed to requiring photo IDs to vote in a state that is overrun with voter fraud."

. . . "But I don’t doubt for a minute Trump could cuddle up to Kasich for VP if he thought it would win him Ohio. A vote for Kasich is either a vote for the establishment, or a vote for Trump—or worse—both."

Here Are The Radical Leftist Anti-Trump Groups Behind The Chicago Protest

Daily Caller

OCTOBER 12: Demonstrators hold up a piñata of Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump during a protest outside Trump Tower on October 12, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. 

ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Chicago is the Chicago franchise of an international network started in the wake of 9/11 and among the first to protest against a response in Afghanistan; since then the group is involved in most of the radical left’s favorite causes: anti-capitalist, pro-union, open borders, anti-war, anti-police causes. The day after the Trump rally the group was holding a forum entitled “Taking Action to Support Palestine.' ”

Illinois Coalition of Immigrant and Refugee Rights "This radical leftist group, specializing in immigration, is a more extreme version of the far left version of National Council on La Raza in Illinois." . . .

Hillary promises, ‘We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business’

Thomas Lifson   . . . "Asking for votes on the basis of pity is one thing.  But promising to throw them out of work is even worse.  And that’s what Hillary, who needs to win coal-producing states Pennsylvania and Ohio, did yesterday.  Daid Rutz in theWashington Free Beacon:

Hillary Clinton said that her policies would “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” during Sunday night’s Ohio town hall on CNN.

Clinton was asked by TVOne’s Roland Martin about her Democratic primary success in states that tend to vote Republican in general elections, and he wondered how she could carry such states once matched up with a Republican rather than a far-left candidate like Sen. Bernie Sanders . . ."

Does Hillary have a political death wish?   "Ineptness alone does not seem adequate to explain the series of gaffes that have characterized Hillary Clinton’s campaign recently.  While violence at Trump events (but not the organized effort behind the disruptors) has grabbed airtime among talking heads, Hillary has been taking a wrecking ball to her appeal to voters." . . .

Fact checking the Hillary Clinton email controversy

WaPo  "It’s been one year since it was learned that Hillary Clinton had set up a private email system when she was secretary of state — a revelation that has dogged her campaign for the presidency.

"The Fact Checker has run 10 fact checks on the issue, mostly regarding dubious statements that Clinton had made to defend her actions. (We also had one fact check each on the Democratic spin and the Republican spin on the issue.) Reviewing our conclusions again, it appears Clinton often used highly technical language to obscure the salient fact that her private email setup was highly unusual and flouted existing regulations." . . .

Obama’s Unelected EPA Bureaucrats Stole Three US Towns

"Riverton, Wyoming is now part of the Wind River Indian Reservation according to a government agency in what is an extraordinary breach of authority. It was not decided by courts, by the state or by Congress but rather by Barack Obama and his unelected, bureaucrats in the EPA in 2013."

Independent Sentinel "Imagine one day waking up to find your home in your quaint American town is no longer yours and the town is no longer in the United States because the EPA has declared it so, despite a more than 100-year old law.

"In an act of utter lawlessness, the EPA seized the entire town of Riverton, Wyoming (pop. 10,990) and two other towns, Kinnear (pop.219) and Pavillion (pop. 236) from their combined 11,000 inhabitants and turned them over to the Wind River reservation. It started over air quality control.

"The EPA is doing this at the same time, they are stealing land and water rights from cowboys and ranchers who have held their deeds since the Louisiana Purchase.

"This shifts jurisdiction for inspections, policing, taxing and other services as well as land rights to Indian tribes."

"Riverton, Wyoming is now part of the Wind River Indian Reservation according to a government agency in what is an extraordinary breach of authority. It was not decided by courts, by the state or by Congress but rather by Barack Obama and his unelected, bureaucrats in the EPA in 2013.

"The residents of Riverton are no longer living in the United States and will likely have their land taken from them by the Indians since the Indians now control the deeds. The residents of Riverton will lose many of their rights as citizens if they stay on the newly-formed extension of the reservation. They can leave their land behind or fight." . . .

"If we lose the Supreme Court to the left [Obama will recommend four of his donors for the position], how do you think this case will go?"

Now we know leftist activists will remind us how white men who lived in the 19th century stole the land from Indians in the 1800's. If the people of Riverton are to suffer the penalty for what their ancestors did, then today's Democrat Party should be made to atone for the things previous Democrats did through the KKK.

Imagine this headline: "Trump Storm Troopers Mob Sanders Rally: Force Cancellation"

Clarice Feldman   "Of course, this didn’t happen. The opposite is true, but you can be sure that would be the headline had conservative opponents of Sanders prevented his rally in suburban Chicago from taking place because of mob threats of violence. This makes Ted Cruz ‘s spineless rejoinder to the violent demonstrations in Chicago so galling to me." . . .

Bill Ayers tweeted proudly: 

We shut Trump down! Beautiful gathering of anti racist youth. pic.twitter.com/uYOFXMvKhX
Bill Ayers (@WilliamAyers) March 12, 2016  

Ms. Feldman's indignation continues: 
"Bernie Sanders, whose people, as I have noted, took pride in shutting down the Trump rally, held a rally of his own in suburban Chicago. There he bragged that he was bringing people together, not dividing them like Trump." . . .

Obama, enjoying the efforts of his favorite one-percenter, George Soros is not omitted from Ms. Feldman's concerns.

"The president, who has stirred up so much racial division by, among other things, supporting the Black Lives Matter supporters and megaphoning their lies about Trayvon Martin and Ferguson, Missouri, was equally mendacious.  

"What’s happening in this primary is just a distillation of what’s been happening in their party for more than a decade," Obama said, according to a report filed by the Texas Tribune.

Let our millennials not be so naive as to miss seeing the danger to America from a Democrat Party that has become a danger to our society.

Barack Obama's plan to urge voters to remain in the European Union is a 'piece of outrageous and exorbitant hypocrisy', Boris Johnson writes

UK Telegraph

"I love America. I believe in the American dream. Indeed, I hold that the story of the past 100 years has been very largely about how America rose to global greatness – and how America has helped to preserve and expand democracy around the world. In two global conflicts, and throughout the Cold War, the United States has fought for the founding ideals of the republic: that government of the people, by the people, for the people should not perish from the earth.

"There is no country in the world that defends its own sovereignty with such hysterical vigilance as the United States of America"

"So it is on the face of it a bit peculiar that US government officials should believe that Britain must remain within the EU – a system in which democracy is increasingly undermined." . . .

In urging us to embed ourselves more deeply in the EU’s federalising structures, the Americans are urging us down a course they would never dream of going themselves. That is because they are a nation conceived in liberty. They sometimes seem to forget that we are quite fond of liberty, too.

I'm sure Barack Obama is more than willing to submit America to authorities in other lands, both friends and enemies. His actions all point toward a desire to humiliate the US and bring our nation down to the level his mentors, Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers desire. TD 

SOROS FUNDED MOVEON.ORG TAKES CREDIT FOR VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO

Harry Reid, tell us again what your problem is with the Koch brothers?
Soros had help  from Hillary Clinton, as we might have expected,

Infowars

"A precursor to activity the organization will engage in as the election approaches"

"Ilya Sheyman, a failed Illinois contender for Congress and the executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action, has taken credit for the violence at a cancelled Trump event last night in Chicago. He promised similar violence and disruption will occur at future Trump political events leading up to the election." . . .
