Walker Responds to Cruz: 'I'm Going to Stand With the American Worker'

Potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker appeared on "Fox and Friends Weekend" to weigh in on the Clinton Foundation controversy and to respond to pointed comments from Ted Cruz about Walker's immigration policy.
...
Walker also weighed in on his recent head-butting with Ted Cruz over immigration and amnesty.

In a recent Washington Examiner interview, Cruz promoted legal immigration and criticized Walker for suggesting that he supported limiting legal immigration if it has a negative impact on the wages of American workers.

"When we talk about what should be the policy on legal immigration, it should be driven by the economic impact. And number one on the list of priorities should be: What is the impact on American workers and American wages?" Walker said.

"If unemployment is high and labor participation is low, why would we want to open the door and flood the market with more workers at a time when our own people here are looking for work?"

Walker said that we are a country of immigrants, but we are also a country of laws. He asserted that we should be looking out for the American worker in everything we do.

"From immigration to tax policy to welfare reform and everything, I’m going to stand with the American worker."

Rand Paul having new fundraiser NOW! BRING IT ON BLITZ! 16k donated so far!

He is advertising it on Facebook. Deadline is April 30th! Here is his description...

Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman just held a meeting with a group of her top donors in Manhattan where he distributed a memo calling me out - by name - in the very first paragraph!
The Washington Machine's attack dogs are gunning for me with everything they've got.
But I am not backing down.
Instead, I've got a message for the entire Washington establishment:
"BRING IT ON!"
I'm going to give them a fight like they've never seen!
But today, I'm counting on you to help me deliver that message loud and clear by chipping in a contribution to my "Bring It On" fundraising blitz right away.
Can I count on your support by the April 30th deadline?

This has real potential to invite several other Democrats into the race.
Looks like fun...
I really hope they nail her ass to the wall but I know that won't happen so the second best outcome is for the public to see these lowlifes for what they truly are and write them off completely forever. The amount of bribery and treason that the Clintons have participated in so eloquently and w/o retribution, it makes me sick.

Orioles Fans Stuck In Stadium After Mayor & Cops Ask Them Not To Leave

Fans at tonight’s extra-inning thriller between the Red Sox and Orioles may end up staying at the ballpark even longer than ten (probably) innings of gameplay. That’s because Baltimore’s mayor and the city police department have asked fans to remain inside the ballpark indefinitely as they deal with thousands of protestors calling attention to the death of Freddie Gray at the hands of Baltimore cops.

The Ted Cruz Blimp, Coming to a Sky Near You!

A group of zealous supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz’ (R-TX) 2016 presidential run is planning to launch a ‘Ted Cruz Air Force’ (TCAF) in the coming months prior to the Republican primaries that begin in less than a year.
...
TCAF says its most prominent air feature will be the “Ted Cruz Blimp,” but it also plans on recruiting “antique aircraft, towed aerial banners, light sport aircraft … [and] parachutes.”

Member of TCAF Jerry Collette says he’s going to do everything he can to help Cruz win the GOP nomination.

“I support Ted Cruz because, like Ron Paul before him, Ted Cruz stands on principle, even if people on both sides of the aisle oppose him for doing so,” said Collette.

According to Collette, he’ll be joined by several members of the team who launched and operated a blimp for former Rep. Ron Paul during the 2008 GOP primaries.

STEPHANOPOULOS FLOORED AS GINGRICH, BLOOMBERG EDITORS DETAIL SERIOUSNESS OF ‘CLINTON CASH

The former public face of Bill Clinton’s White House—and current host of ABC News’ This Week—George Stephanopoulos was floored as two prominent journalists and the Republican Speaker of the House from his Clinton days, Newt Gingrich, laid out for him just how bad the “Clinton Cash” book is for his old bosses.

During the show’s roundtable panel after Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer appeared on the show for a lengthy interview, Stephanopoulos teamed with Democratic strategist Donna Brazile in an attempt to discredit Schweizer. But it started with Stephanopoulos making a shocking admission: Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign wouldn’t send out any official surrogates or spokespeople to defend her on this scandal.

I think we're about to see a BTC break-out (within a few days) to the upside followed by a complete LTC collapse before summer.
That's a pretty bold claim considering the ltc halving comes in late summer. Plus, historically major btc rallies coincide w/ that of ltc which is usually larger.

Dan Bilzerian endorses Rand Paul


For those that don't know who Bilzerian is, he's high stakes poker player and his dad was a wall street banker so his net worth is north of $100 million. He's got 8 million followers on Instagram and 7.6 mill on Facebook so this is great exposure for Rand from low info type folks. Bilzerian is also quite the risk taker and lives quite lavishly w/ porn stars and there's a lot of content out there about him if you look for it. He's a prime target to get in on Bitcoin if people want to hit up his Facebook page about it.

‘What I Saw Disgusted Me’: Black Rand Paul Supporter Saw This Comment About Her & Had to Speak Out

“Last night a Facebook notification showed up on my screen. A friend had posted a picture to my wall. What I saw disgusted me.”

That’s how Zuri Davis, 19, describes the moment she saw a Facebook post targeting her for being a black, female supporter of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

“A FEMALE AFRICAN AMERICAN who is standing with Rand,” the post said. “She must not realize the platform. The fact he’s pretty much regarded as racist, sexist, a**hole along with the rest of his party.”

“Honey, honey, honey,” it added.

Rand Paul, Hawk or Dove?

Since his election to the Senate in 2010 it’s barely been an exaggeration to say that the Republican foreign-policy debate has been Rand Paul versus everyone else. While he has some likeminded colleagues, especially in the House, he is the single figure most associated with a break from the GOP’s Bush-Cheney national-security legacy.

The debate was kicked off by his father, former Texas congressman and two-time GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul. Many hoped that the son would expand the electoral base for what his father started.

In the early stages of his own 2016 presidential campaign, however, Rand Paul has edged closer to the Republican foreign-policy consensus. He has become more hawkish against the Islamic State—even while pushing what is substantively the least hawkish authorization of military force against the jihadists. Although still tentatively supportive of nuclear negotiations with Iran, he preferred signing Sen. Tom Cotton’s undiplomatic letter to Tehran to seeming joined at the hip with Barack Obama. While other Republican White House aspirants in the Senate voted to increase defense spending even if it meant also increasing the deficit, Paul proposed offsetting extra Pentagon money with cuts elsewhere in the budget. Some of his supporters were nevertheless dismayed that the Kentucky lawmaker’s amendment increased defense spending at all—by $190 billion over the next two years, to be precise.

But if Paul is eager to avoid a 2016 foreign-policy debate that pits him against everyone else in the Republican Party, his hawkish detractors are not. No fewer than three prominent Republicans—Sen. Lindsey Graham, Rep. Peter King and former UN ambassador John Bolton—appear to be entertaining presidential bids mainly for the opportunity to argue with Paul in the primary debates.

The most prominent conservative moderator of those upcoming debates, commentator and law professor Hugh Hewitt, has announced that voting for higher defense spending should be a litmus test for Republicans. Hewitt writes that any Republican incumbent who opposes breaking the sequestration spending caps on defense—caps that contribute to short-term deficit reduction and a key part of the only major spending concession Republicans have won from the Obama administration—“should be fired.”

On the day Paul declared his candidacy, the man behind the anti-John Kerry Swift Boat Veterans for Truth television ads in 2004 launched a new seven-figure ad campaign attacking Paul’s foreign policy. The spots are set to run in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina, three states Paul visited during his launch and the first three contests of the GOP nomination fight.

When are black Americans going to learn that Obama doesn't care about them? He only used them to get elected. Everyone should see plainly now that the only black people he cares about are the ones who contributed to his campaigns. But even that is questionable.


... Never.

Unfortunately, considering the injustices of the past against black folks they likely only feel confident and comfortable w/ another black person running the show, given the alternative of Romney or someone similar. I'm being nice when saying this but those who embrace collectivism be it race or whatever, are destined to reap the rewards of it. Ultimately, a protest is only going to stay peaceful when those doing the protest keep their morals and their tempers intact. When the low intelligent rise to the top and the peaceful blend into the background, this is what it starts to look like.

Most Europeans aren't exactly happy w/ all the wars that have been going on in the middle east for so long and many of the immigrants to Europe are arabs. I'd imagine that between the two parties, there's likely plenty of blame that they put at Israel's door for being the main component for much of the action going on over there. Just speculating of course.

It's bold and all but does not seem like a 'finisher' plan. Someone got taken to the hilt so it is a cause for concern. 800btc equals go ahead and name it at this point.
