For the sake of the country they claim to love, Cruz/Kasich must get out of this race, allow some party healing
to kick in long before the convention, so they can face off against the libs UNITED this Fall.
The only thing those two are doing now is DAMAGE.
Tonight's results fooled the Real Clear Politics pollsters as you can see in the chart above I prepared for you.
Trump over-performed his polls by an average of 11%, while Cruz average 5%
less than his polls and Kasich was off modestly by 2%.
Kasich came in 2nd in 4 of the 5 contests; Cruz was last in 4 of the 5......

Russian Military turns up the heat on US Military & NATO by building more Naval Ships
Via u96
The Russian Military plans to build more naval ships to counter US Military and NATO military power in the black sea. While the most headline-grabbing Russian ships of the past couple of years have been the powerful little Buyan-M missile corvettes which, in spite of being less than 1,000 tons in displacement, are capable of launching long-range cruise missiles at ISIS targets and other threats to Russian national security, their larger cousins are still relatively obscure. However, while the Buyan-Ms will be an important component of the Black Sea Fleet as well as the Caspian Flotilla, the Burevestnik missile frigates will form the backbone of the Black Sea Fleet’s surface combatant force for decades to come.
The Burevestnik, or Project 11356, is derived from the Cold War-era Project 1135 anti-submarine frigates which were built in large numbers in the 1970s and the 1980s. After the end of the Cold War the design was modified for export to India, and in the last decade after additional modifications it was adopted by the Russian Navy which ordered six vessels for the Black Sea Fleet from the Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad. Additional three ships of this class are being planned for the Pacific Fleet in the more remote future. The first two ships of the class, Admiral Grigorovich and Admiral Essen, have entered service in March and April 2016, respectively, the third, Admiral Makarov, is undergoing factory tests and will likely enter service by the end of the year, while the remaining three ships, Admiral Butakov, Admiral Istomin, and Admiral Kornilov, have been delayed by Ukraine’s refusal to deliver gas turbine engines from the Zorya-Mashproyekt plant in Nikolayev. While Russian firms will be eventually able to produce the required engines themselves or provide the ships by different ones, unless the relations with Ukraine improve in the foreseeable future the last three ships will be delayed by at least a couple of years.
Nevertheless, even the three frigates that will be in service by the end of 2016 represent a potent surface force and a major modernization of the Black Sea Fleet. These are ships with a very balanced design, having anti-ship, anti-land, anti-air, and anti-submarine capabilities in equal measure. Like the Buyan-Ms, each frigate carries 8 UK-SK launch cells for Kalibr and Oniks anti-ship and cruise missiles, with the Kalibr family also including an anti-submarine torpedo-carrying missile. Air defense is provided by the medium-range Shtil-1 system, a naval version of the Buk-M, with 36 ready-to-launch missiles in vertical cells. For anti-submarine combat, the ship carries an anti-submarine helicopter, 533mm torpedoes, and anti-submarine depth charges that also serve as its anti-torpedo active defense.
These frigates as well as the six more powerful Project 22350 frigates under construction for the Northern Fleet will provide the medium surface ships for the Russian naval task forces, bridging the gap between the small missile corvettes and light frigates, and heavy missile cruisers and the aircraft carrier. Currently that function is served by the aging Sovremennyy and Udaloy destroyer classes built in the 1980s. While the frigates are only half the size of the older destroyers, they are far more capable than either of the destroyers. While the Sovremennyys have a powerful anti-air and anti-ship armament, they lack anti-submarine weapons. Udaloys, on the other hand, are specialized anti-submarine ships with weak anti-ship capability and only short-range air defenses.
The frigates also compare favorably to contemporary European frigates and are vastly superior to the US Littoral Combat Ships. They assure that should the Russian Navy be required to send a sizable naval task force to a remote part of the world for a lengthy deployment, it will have the necessary surface assets at its disposal.

On Monday liberal Hillary supporting actress Lena Dunham said she would leave the US for Canada if Donald Trump is elected.
Today Donald Trump responded to Dunham calling her a “B-list actress with no mojo” and then promised to work harder to make sure she keeps her promise.
I think a requirement for being a liberal female must be ugliness.

Ku Klux Klan Claims $20K In Clinton Donations
Via Bill
A prominent Ku Klux Klan leader says that the group has raised thousands of dollars for Hillary Clinton’s campaign and that the Klan is officially endorsing the Democratic frontrunner for president—a claim the Clinton campaign vigorously denies.
Shortly after setting a giant cross on fire with dozens of other members of various white nationalist groups in Georgia on Saturday, Will Quigg, a Grand Dragon in a California branch of the KKK, sat down with Vocativ—which was there for a larger reporting trip about the modern state of the hate group—to talk about the 2016 election. According to Quigg, “For the KKK, Clinton is our choice.”

Censored, Surveilled, Watch Listed and Jailed: The Absurdity of Being a Citizen in the American Police State
Via John
In the American police state, the price to be paid for speaking truth to power (also increasingly viewed as an act of treason) is surveillance, censorship, jail and ultimately death.
It’s a diabolically ingenious tactic for muzzling, disarming and ultimately eliminating one’s critics or potential adversaries.
However, where many Americans go wrong is in assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or challenging the government’s authority in order to be flagged as a suspicious character, labeled an enemy of the state and locked up like a dangerous criminal.

“You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.”—George Orwell, 1984In past ages, those who dared to speak out against tyranny—viewed as an act of treason—were blinded, castrated, disfigured, mutilated, rendered mute by having their tongues cut out of their heads, and ultimately crucified.

Cartels Help Terrorists in Mexico Get to U.S. to Explore Targets; ISIS Militant Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir Among Them
Via Billy
Mexican drug traffickers help Islamic terrorists stationed in Mexico cross into the United States to explore targets for future attacks, according to information forwarded to Judicial Watch by a high-ranking Homeland Security official in a border state. Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas. Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen and has lived in Mexico for more than a year, according to information provided by JW’s government source.
Now Khabir trains thousands of men—mostly Syrians and Yemenis—to fight in an ISIS base situated in the Mexico-U.S. border region near Ciudad Juárez, the intelligence gathered by JW’s source reveals. Staking out U.S. targets is not difficult and Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he “could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours.” Foreign Affairs Secretary Claudia Ruiz, Mexico’s top diplomat, says in the article that she doesn’t understand why the Obama administration and the U.S. media are “culpably neglecting this phenomenon,” adding that “this new wave of fundamentalism could have nasty surprises in store for the United States.”

CC permit holder delivers tax payer relief shot to convicted felon arrested more than 30 times
A 36-year-old man was shot to death early Monday during an argument at a gas station just west of downtown Orlando, police said.
Delvin Jamar Broner was lying on the floor inside the Circle K on John Young Parkway at Old Winter Garden Road when officers arrived shortly before 1 a.m., according to Orlando police.
They were called there by 29-year-old Titus Bernard, who acknowledged to shooting Broner after he drew a pistol, according to police.
Bernard, who has a valid concealed-weapons permit, told officers he was arguing with Broner inside the store when Broner pulled the gun, which was “partially concealed” under his clothes, police said.
Bernard then grabbed his gun and fired several shots, according to police. Emergency medical crews pronounced Broner dead at the scene.

the most brutal theaters of combat in living memory.
So
when the four reunited on Saturday for their first-ever reunion, it was
more than just a cute photo opportunity - it was a chance to recapture a
happier, more innocent time, Naples Daily News reported.
