BREAKING: Trump Just Got HUGE News – This Changes Everything
The polls are all over the place out there. I might add that New Hampshire’s polling over the last few elections has been notoriously wrong. Thirteen polls before Iowa this time around also got it wrong. Having said that, Real Clear Politics shows one thing for certain… Donald Trump has a commanding lead over the Republican field. I don’t believe a lot of what these polls have to say about the race in the Granite State, but I do believe that Donald Trump is far, far ahead there and looks to win that caucus. He leads by double digits and even though he is playing down whether he will win or not, it looks to me as though he has that state in the bag.
From The Wall Street Journal:
Donald Trump leads the crowded GOP presidential field by double digits in the final days leading up to New Hampshire’s primary Tuesday, according to the latest Monmouth University Poll released on Sunday.
Bernie Sanders holds a 52% to 42% lead over Hillary Clinton among likely voters in the Granite State’s Democratic primary.
Mr. Trump, a billionaire businessman, earns 30% support from voters likely to participate in Tuesday’s primary, with the next four candidates clustered within two percentage points but far behind Mr. Trump. The poll was taken before Saturday night’s Republican debate. With 14% support from likely voters, Ohio Gov. John Kasich has a narrow lead over Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who are tied at 13%, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 12%. The four are within the margin of error of each other.

Words of wisdom
By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.
It surely can't get any simpler than that.
DHS Official: I Was Ordered to Purge Records of Islamic Terror Ties
A veteran official with the Department of Homeland Security claims its staff was ordered to destroy records on a federal database that showed links between possible jihadists and Islamic terrorist groups. "After leaving my 15 year career at DHS, I can no longer be silent about the dangerous state of America's counter-terror strategy...," Patrick Haney, wrote in an explosive column that was published on The Hill website.
Clinton '100 percent' sure no indictment coming over emails
DURHAM, N.H. — Hillary Clinton on Thursday expressed confidence that the FBI's investigation into her handling of classified information as secretary of state will not lead to an indictment.
"I am 100 percent confident nothing will come from the review of my email account," Clinton told MSNBC's Chuck Todd during the fifth Democratic presidential debate.
Following reports that former Secretary of State Colin Powell and aides to former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice received classified materials on their personal email accounts, Clinton also said Thursday that the "FBI will have to start investigating others.
"Including Republican officeholders," she said. "Because what we've got is this absurd situation of retroactive classifications."

Carson says an apologetic Cruz asked for a meeting at debate
Ben Carson said late Saturday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas approached him during an off-camera break at ABC’s Republican debate to apologize for his campaign’s conduct during the Iowa caucuses and requested a one-on-one meeting with him.
“He said he’s sorry that this happened and he wants to sit down and talk,” Carson said in an interview with The Washington Post. “He wants to discuss the whole thing and clear the air.”
The retired neurosurgeon said he mostly listened when his Republican rival approached him on stage but did agree to hear Cruz out in the coming days. They did not set a date.

Jeb Bush Doubling Down On “I’m With Stupid” Strategy
We’ve written previously on former Florida governor Jeb Bush‘s effort to revive his flagging presidential aspirations by campaigning with his brother – former U.S president George W. Bush.
We call it the “I’m With Stupid” strategy …
Anyway, since Bush’s campaign is still struggling he’s decided to double down on “Dubya” – a.k.a. “The Deciderer.” Specifically, the Right to Rise PAC – which inexplicably continues to back Bush despite his dismal 2.8 percent showing in early-voting Iowa – is launching a new television ad in South Carolina starring the former chief executive.
According to reporter Alex Isenstadt of Politico, who broke the story, the “W” ad will begin airing in South Carolina on Friday.

Leaked Document Shows Spike in Illegal Crossings by Aliens from Terrorist Nations
Action2News in Atlanta made the claim of leaked documents in a teaser for their upcoming Monday newscast. The teaser claims they have obtained a leaked document showing a spike in illegal aliens crossing the U.S. southern border from nations with ties to terrorism. The news team spent several days in Texas gathering information from the El Paso Sector of the border.
The teaser shows how part of this sector has secure fences, only to be followed by other areas where the fence construction type would not stop anyone from crossing. “Any of this infrastructure can be exploited by anyone,” a former Border Patrol sector chief told the Action2News reporter Aaron Diamant.
In August, 2014, Breitbart Texas managing director Brandon Darby reported on a leaked intelligence analysis from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that revealed the exact numbers of illegal aliens entering the U.S. from more than 75 different nations. That report revealed twenty-eight illegal aliens that had traveled from Pakistan and were captured while sneaking into the country. Additionally, 211 Pakistanis had turned themselves in or were captured at official ports of entry.
Thirteen people from Egypt were also caught sneaking into the U.S., the report revealed. Additionally, illegal aliens had been captured from Yemen and Somalia.

Obama Ryan Gasoline Tax Funds Int’l Green Slush Fund
The communist who just inked a deal with the UN to mandate his profiteering “green” energy climate conjob around the world is following up with the means to make gasoline more expensive and to fund his green energy slush fund. Now he’s about to force us to subsidize his piracy to the tune of a $10 per barrel oil tax.
Just as Disney employees had to train their foreign “Marco Rubio Replacement” workers and ISIS forces those they are going to execute to dig their own graves, Obama and his comrade globalist controllers delight in making those who are being eliminated by their “leveling” of the playing field be the funding source of their demise. How lucky Obama and Ryan are that the price of oil is down at just the time they planned to slip what would otherwise be a controversial tax through on the American people. We’ll hardly notice it now and once prices return to the old normal, as they surely will, the tax will be part of the new old normal. Obama’s green energy scam will have its mega slush fund permanently entrenched.
It’s almost as if this oil tax was a scripted, anticipatory GOP concession to the demands of dictator Obama. As it turns out, the supposed sole victory for Republicans is now just a delayed mega-funding coup for teammates Obama and Ryan. Together they have now met all of Obama’s supposed demands, regardless of how damaging or traitorous they were. No wonder Boehner was in tears and decided it was better to quit than to go down in history with his name attached to this sack of Obamanure.
Obama speaks with some authority, predicting that gas prices will be low for the foreseeable future, but that they will go back up. He’s anxious to capitalize on the fluctuations and accelerate a transition to a “clean energy economy,” the kind that he spelled out in both the UN climate agreement and the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Agreement. The ink for both is barely dry and in fact, the climate conjob still must be signed at a puke-in pageant on “Earth Day,” April 22nd.

3 Reasons To Go Independent With Your Career In 2016
Emerging Trends Bring Opportunities
For Those Willing To Take The Leap
It’s nearly bedtime, but you find yourself sitting at your laptop finishing a report the boss expects in the morning.
Your daughter’s soccer game starts in five minutes, but you’re a 30-minute commute away.
More and more, the modern work world infringes on home life as professionals try to balance their career needs against personal time, and end up feeling dissatisfied, frustrated and exhausted.
“In our modern culture, we are time poor, with too much focus on work and not nearly enough time for life,” says Aaron Zwas, an independent consultant and author of “Transition to Independence” (www.t2iplan.com). That’s all the more reason to take the reigns of your career, becoming your own boss and adding flexibility to your work-life balance, he says. It all adds up to a new level of freedom to pursue the things that matter to you most.
Zwas knows from experience. He once worked as a technical writer for a computer-software company, but a series of events led him to make the break from his corporate job and venture out as an independent consultant. That allowed him to set his own schedule and work from home, all the while increasing his income by an average of 25 percent a year.
Plenty of people can benefit from working independently, though for reasons as varied as their circumstances, he says. They include the 20-something college graduate; the mother or father with young children who wants more flexibility; a stay-at-home mom returning to the workforce; or a middle manager recently laid off in the company’s latest down-sizing move, just to name a few.
Zwas offers three reasons why going independent could be a good career move in 2016:
