Hollywood leftist and Oscar winning actress Julianne Moore is launching a gun control group. Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
Right Wing News reports via Breitbart:
On October 13, People magazine reported that actress Julianne Moore launched a gun control group under the auspices of Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, then began calling fellow actors and actresses and entreating them to join the group.
The name of Moore’s group is Everytown Creative Council, and it shares an internet address with Bloomberg’s other gun control groups.
According to People magazine, Moore decided to launch the gun control group because of the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012. Ironically, the group’s main push will be to secure background checks–the very background checks which were already in place in Connecticut but did not stop Adam Lanza from carrying out his heinous attack on Sandy Hook children and adults.
Please Julianne, could you just stick to what you’re good at?

The Secret Service will protect GOP front-runners Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson as threats have been “off the charts.”
Dr. Carson has been under extremely high threats since his comments on Muslims in America according to the report. Donald Trump was also threatened by Mexican cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Newsmax reported:
The Secret Service will give agent protection to Ben Carson and Donald Trump while heavily upgrading Hillary Clinton’s existing detail, a Washington source close to the agency’s plans confirmed to Newsmax.
The deployment of agents around Republican candidates Trump and Carson is set to begin as early as next week. Approximately two dozen agents will be assigned to each candidate.
Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, has had Secret Service protection since leaving the White House as first lady in 2001, but her detail will be heavily upgraded by the agency’s move.
The agency’s decision was primarily triggered by a significant number of threats to Carson, including death threats and terrorist chatter, the source said.
The threats to the retired pediatric neurosurgeon have been “off the charts,” the source said. Polls show Carson either tied with Trump for front-runner status or in second place.
Armstrong Williams, Carson’s business manager, told Newsmax he could neither “confirm nor deny” the Secret Service protection. “We don’t comment on security matters involving Dr. Carson,” he said.
But Newsmax has learned that the Secret Service and other federal agencies, including the FBI, became increasingly alarmed in recent weeks as their own monitoring activities indicated that Carson faced serious danger.
Carson caused a political brouhaha in September when he told Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that a Muslim should not become president.
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson said. He later clarified his remarks, saying any Muslim who believed in Sharia law should be disqualified from serving in the Oval Office.
The source said there was evidence that home-grown terrorists might be targeting a major political candidate like Carson. The Secret Service approached the Carson campaign to offer federal protection.
Both Carson and his campaign strongly resisted the Secret Service’s request at first, the source said.
But then Carson reluctantly agreed to the deployment of agents after the agency warned of grave danger and shared certain intelligence.
Unlike Carson, Republican front-runner Trump has officially requested Secret Service protection.
The billionaire noted that he has drawn “by far the biggest crowds” of any candidate at his events. He also said that President Barack Obama had received protection at this stage of his first campaign in 2008.
“I want to put them on notice because they should have a liability,” Trump told The Hill. “Personally, I think if Obama were doing as well as me he would’ve had Secret Service [earlier].”
Obama, who was an Illinois senator during the 2008 contest, received Secret Service protection on May 3, 2007, with law enforcement officials saying that the protection was not approved because of any specific threats.
In July, shortly after Trump criticized the Mexican government for the escape of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman from a maximum-security prison, a Twitter account linked to Guzman issued a threat against the billionaire: “Keep f–king around and I’m gonna make you swallow your whore words you f–king whitey milks–tter.”
Earlier this month Telesur, a Latin American television network based in Venezuela, reported uncorroborated claims that El Chapo has placed a $100 million bounty on Trump to encourage his assassination.
Eric Trump, one of the candidate’s three sons, also expressed concerns about his father’s safety on the campaign trail. Trump has five children.

Glad Trump made a big deal so he and Ben got Secret Service help.

The Democratic Party isn’t going to nominate Bernie Sanders for president in 2016. Bernie Sanders sold out himself and his supporters the moment he declared Hillary’s email scandal a non-issue during the first Democrat debate.
In his new column at the Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer explains:
Game over
I repeat: Unless she’s indicted, Hillary Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. I wrote that six weeks ago, amid fevered dreams of a Clinton collapse and a Joe Biden rescue. That those were a mirage is all the more obvious after Tuesday’s debate. The reason, then as now, is simple: Clinton has no competition.
She’s up against three ciphers and one endearing, gesticulating, slightly unmoored old man. If Biden was ever thinking of getting into the race, he’d be crazy to do so now. It’s over.
At the debate, Bernie Sanders sealed the deal with a thunderous “the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails.” That rendered the issue officially off-limits to all Democrats. File closed. End of story. Of course, it will be featured in the general election, but we’re talking here about her getting the nomination.
In gratuitously granting her absolution, Sanders garnered points for high-mindedness. But he’d already cornered the high-mindedness market. Sanders was right to call this move dumb politics. His declaration simply and definitively conceded the race to Clinton.
Joe Biden can’t rescue the Democratic Party.
If he jumps into the race now, it’s an admission of three inconvenient facts.
1. Hillary Clinton is a weak candidate.
2. Bernie Sanders is unelectable.
3. Democrats have no one else to offer.
All the progressive activism for Bernie Sanders is now pointless.
Democrats are stuck with Hillary.

The fix is in on that because the masters have the voter fraud already in place for their projected winner. They are not going to take a chance on a different puppet and Bernie appears to be kind of a wild card.

Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is gaining steam, but his influence with House conservatives is diminished compared to two years ago, when he played a central role in the lead-up to a government shutdown.
As congressional leaders head into a high-stakes round of negotiations over a year-end spending deal and raising the debt limit, Cruz (R-Texas) is less of a factor in calculating what can pass the House.
“I think his presidential candidacy, obviously, takes him a step or two away from being involved with the House as much as he was before,” said Rep. Chris Stewart, a Republican from Utah. “And I think the second thing is there’s a number of people who say it’s time for us to, as best we can under very difficult circumstances, unite and come together, and I think Sen. Cruz is not very helpful in that.”
Stewart stood with Cruz two years ago and voted against re-opening the government after Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) cut a deal with Democrats. Earlier this year, Stewart voted against a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that was stripped of language halting President Obama’s executive action on immigration.
In the fall of 2013, Cruz met regularly with House conservatives to rally them against a government funding bill that allowed the administration to implement ObamaCare.
The result was the shuttering of federal agencies for 16 days — something Cruz and his conservative allies blamed on Obama, but the public largely blamed on the GOP, according to polls at the time.
Some Republicans now say they don’t think Cruz will be a driving force with House conservatives as this year’s talks intensify.
“He’s a good friend and he’s a very strong conservative. I think his influence was always exaggerated. We just happen to agree with him on a lot of things. I’ve had no discussions with him about the budget this time,” said Rep. John Fleming, a Republican from Louisiana and member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Cruz, in recent weeks, has stepped up his criticism of Republican leaders, accusing them of capitulation for not taking harder stands against Obama’s executive actions on immigration, the funding of Planned Parenthood or raising the nation’s debt ceiling without major concessions.
“Republican leadership responds to every challenge by surrendering at the outset,” Cruz wrote in a recent op-ed for Politico.
But his war cries are starting to grate on some conservatives, even though they agree with him on the issues.
Some Tea Party-aligned lawmakers think that Cruz is not being honest with the party base by firing them up with unreasonable expectations.
Efforts to defund Planned Parenthood or halt Obama’s immigration orders have no chance of success in the Senate, they argue, because the Senate’s filibuster rule forces 60 votes to pass controversial legislation. With Democrats controlling 46 seats in the upper chamber, Cruz’s proposals simply aren’t feasible, they say.
“There are so many things I agree with Ted Cruz on but his failure — his habit of speaking as if the filibuster does not exist is disingenuous and it speaks of duplicity on his part,” said Rep. Trent Franks (R), an outspoken conservative from Arizona.
Franks says Cruz has glossed over just how much the filibuster rule limits the power of GOP leaders.

Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton will likely win the Democratic nomination because she is being “protected” from any consequences stemming from her use of a private email server.
“I think probably she did well enough in the debate that she’s going to get it, depending on what happens with the emails, but I think she’s being protected,” Trump told radio host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 New York on Sunday.
“I think he’s not, cause I think it’s too late for him,” Trump said. “You know, he’s in a little bit of a honeymoon right now, people are saying all these wonderful things about him, but once he gets in and he gets beat up I think it’s going to be very hard.”
Trump added that his surging campaign is a unique phenomenon in political history, describing it as a “movement.”
“There hasn’t been anything like this politically, you know, from what they’re telling me,” he said. “I mean, there hasn’t really been anything, but this is a movement.”
He also said CNBC has been “terrific” and will do a “great job” after he threatened to pull out of the network's upcoming GOP primary debate if they did not change the format.

That is SO OBVIOUS!
Real-estate mogul Donald Trump has opened up large leads in the key early states of South Carolina and Nevada, according to new CNN/ORC polls.
But more impressive, amid an overall narrative that the front-runner's poll numbers have plateaued over the past month, is his continued dominance of the issues.
In Nevada and South Carolina, at least, Trump is crushing his Republican counterparts on some of the issues most important to GOP voters.
When voters in Nevada were asked who could best handle ...
Moreover, 34% of Republican voters in Nevada said Trump "best represents" views of Republicans like themselves. And, significantly, 47% thought Trump would have the best chance of winning the general election next November. Nationally, that number has been much lower, with only 25% of Republican voters in a July poll saying they could see him winning the nomination.
And when GOP voters in South Carolina were asked who could best handle ...
Additionally, 25% said Trump best represented the values of Republican voters like themselves. Another 58% said he was most likely to "change the way things work in Washington." And 44% thought he had the best chance of winning the general election next November.
Of all the numbers, Trump's biggest perceived strength — the economy — might be the most important. Overall, 39% of GOP voters in Nevada and 41% in South Carolina said the economy would be the most important issue for them when they go to the polls.
