Still Report #790 - Major Shift of GOP Towards Trump
To become Partner #616: www.billstill.com, then Click "Subscribe”. Although Karl Rove has been relentless in his denunciations of Donald Trump, Trump’s numbers are now Trumping all other considerations. Privately, Rove’s super-PAC is now telling its donors – some of the biggest in the United States - not only that Trump can win, but advising them how to best help Republican senators ride his coattails. The news has started filtering out after Tuesday afternoon’s “investor conference call” among some of the wealthiest Republicans donors in the nation. The phone call, led by Rove, a pollster, and other Crossroad officials, discussed the latest swing-state polling and electoral map analysis, detailing what needs to happen for Trump to beat Hillary Clinton in the general election and provide sufficient coattails to pull threatened Senate incumbents along with him to victory. The bottom line is, yes, Trump seems increasingly inevitable to win the Republican nomination, but the paths to the Presidency are also growing wider as Clinton is seen as an extremely weak and vulnerable opponent. Representatives for the Koch brothers’ group said Tuesday’s call represented the first significant shift towards Trump. “[It’s a] softening of the anti-Trump position.” One major donor to both Crossroads and an anti-Trump super PAC said he would be ok if Crossroads jumped to Trump. Minnesota media mogul Stanley S. Hubbard said: “They have no choice but to be OK with him if he is the nominee. What are they going to do? Back Hillary Clinton?” In the last week, some of the most extreme elements of establishment Republicans have hinted at just that – saying they would rather vote for Hillary than Trump. These would most likely be the leaders of the Congressional bribery merry-go-round. But Tuesday’s conference call may signal that this kind of talk is about to come to screeching halt. The Stop Trump crowd was enraged with this latest turn of events. Crossroads spokesman Ian Prior tried to reassure them that the group is still officially neutral in the GOP presidential primary race and tried to explain the new position: “There has been a hardening narrative from the media and others that Hillary Clinton can start planning her inaugural ball — that is simply false and we believed it was important to communicate that to our supporters,” he said. “What we have in fact seen is that there is such intense dislike and distrust of Hillary among the general electorate that the presidential race will be close, regardless of the GOP nominee.” I’m Still reporting from Washington.

Democrat Mayors Could Face 10 Years in Prison
Good morning, I’m still reporting on sanctuary cities.
One of the most interesting domestic battles that will occur shortly after Donald Trump takes office on January 20th is the battle over sanctuary cities – a battle that Trump must win.
At least 21 mayors across the U.S. recently came out in defiance of federal law forbidding sanctuary cities because they believe illegal immigration helps support them politically. And, sure enough, all 21 of the largest sanctuary cities voted against Donald Trump by massive percentages last month.
This defiance on the part of Democrat mayors was broken once before in U.S. history, during the late 1950’s and early 60’s when some mayors in the south refused to enforce desegregation laws.

Yes, these mayors can be charged with a federal felony, but that would take years to work its way through the courts. However, Trump probably doesn’t need to send in US Marshalls to make these mayors obey the law.
Over the past year, Congress has installed an “off” switch that will allow the incoming President Trump to cut off all federal law-enforcement assistance money on day one.

But, in addition, cities found not to be in compliance would have to repay all federal money they received over the last 10 years.

Carrier Corporation, the firm that announced last week that it will be moving 1400 jobs to Mexico, got a $5.1 million dollar clean energy tax credit in Dec. 2013.
The money was to be used to:
“…expand production at its Indianapolis facility to meet increasing demand for its eco-friendly condensing gas furnace product line.”
According to Indianapolis radio station WIBC, the company announced back then that:
“The new line includes the most energy efficient gas furnaces on the market – all with at least 95 percent annual fuel utilization efficiency."
The funding came from the Department of Energy. The Advanced Energy Manufacturing Tax Credit was part of President Obama’s 2009 stimulus package, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Nevertheless, on Monday, the company announced that it was moving all 1400 jobs from Indianapolis to Mexico.
Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett blasted the decision:
“Today’s surprise announcement was without warning and incredibly disappointing.”
Git ‘em, President Trump!

Good afternoon, I’m still reporting on Trump .
For the first time in 18 days, Donald Trump has retaken the lead in the USC Daybreak national poll.
Trump now leads Clinton by 44.2% to 43.6%. Although the margin is razor thin, both the direction and rate of change is significant as Clinton makes fewer and fewer public appearances possibly due to her worsening medical condition, and Trump is toning down his campaign rhetoric in a more disciplined fashion as he firms up his campaign leadership team.
Tune in tomorrow for the next exciting episode and totally biased political interpretations.

Yesterday about 1 pm, we posted a story that was based off a Fox News story that President Obama might be able to singlehandly appoint a replacement for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia because both the House and Senate are in recess for the President’s Day holiday today.
Although it is true that both houses of Congress are adjourned until next week, what the Fox piece missed - and I failed to catch - was that the U.S. Constitution is very specific in regards to how long a recess appointment may endure:
Article 2, Section 2
“The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expire at the end of their next session.”
Supreme Court judges are appointed for life. So yes, he could appoint a temporary Supreme Court justice, however there would be several downsides to this.
1. Senator Orin Hatch said yesterday that the Senate has tools to prevent this.
2. The other 8 justices on the Supreme Court may simply reject a new temporary member; and
3. This would be seen as merely another Obama power grab and bring on reams of negative publicity raiding down on his languishing administration that would certainly spill over onto Democrats in general.
Bottom line; it’s NOT going to happen, so I took the story down.
Since there is now controversy over the way Judge Scalia died, the removal of the previous video had to be explained.
What is the controversy? According to the Houston Chronicle in a story written by John MacCormack and updated at 2:40 pm yesterday, Feb. 14th, the resort owner, John Poindexter, knocked on Judge Scalia’s door at 8:30 am when he did not appear for breakfast. When Scalia did not answer the door, Poindexter assumed he was still asleep.
Three hours later, Poindexter returned after an outing and, finding that the judge had still not appeared, entered his room:
“We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled,” said Poindexter.
Poindexter said the body was cold and the judge had no pulse. He called a local doctor and concluded resuscitation would have been futile.
According to the newspaper report:
“He then contacted federal authorities, at first encountering a series of answering services because he was calling on a weekend.”
Scalia’s death has subsequently been attributed to “natural causes”, specifically a heart attack. However, the death will forever be shrouded in mystery because who - in the midst of a heart attack - would decide:
“Oh, my chest hurts. What I need is to put a pillow over my nose and mouth to restrict my ability to breath.”
[insert CBS photo]
It’s such a silly assumption that even the CBS News report on the death posted at 22:58 last night highlighted in red that an:
“autopsy was not necessary.”
Well, it certainly IS necessary to determine whether the judge died of asphyxiation or a heart attack.
Until that is done by a panel of recognized forensic pathologists, murder conspiracy theories will continue to circulate – and for legitimate reasons.
In addition, there are some great pictures on the Houston Chronicle site, which I will not display on this story because the photos have now been bought by Getty Images and Getty is very hard line about copyright infringement.
So I will post them in my next report.
The most interesting one is an actual picture of the bed and the pillows in the room taken just hours after the Judge’s body was removed to be flown home to Virginia.
I’m still reporting from Washington on this very sad President’s Day, Monday, February 15. Good day.
Every once in a while we get to have a victory, and yesterday was such a day. Within a few hours of putting up SR 947 – YouTube Begins Economic Blacklisting, suddenly, they reversed themselves and the dreaded golden dollar signs disappeared and were replaced with the nice green ones.
Of course, they didn’t offer to replace the income lost from the blacklisting, however, we are happy with the result. So now, even SR 898 – First Superbug Found Resistant to All Antibiotics”, has been deemed to be “advertiser friendly”.
Unfortunately, this will not be the last time we butt heads with Silicon Valley owned-and-operated social media. They have bought into the self-destructive one-world philosophy that is now destroying Germany, Sweden, France, Italy and the UK.
They sincerely believe that nationalism is the cause of wars and therefore if they can only destroy the historic diversity of the nation state – then, and only then – can they create a world where human kind can live in a world of peace and plenty.
The main problem with this theory is that the price of their one-world government is a socialist dictatorship where real citizen input to self-governance is destroyed, to be replaced with an autocracy of oligarchs.
And that’s the best-case scenario for the Western world.
While we fight over democracy or one-world governance, the third player is now moving swiftly to gain a demographic hegemony that will render all the rest of it moot and enslave the other two in an iron-clad theocracy under Sharia.

Good afternoon. I’m still reporting on the invasion.
NATO Commander, General Philip Breedlove says that migrants coming up from Turkey and across the Mediterranean to Italy are taking advantage of the migrant crisis to enter Europe disguised as mere refugees.
Air Force Gen. Breedlove also says that ISIS is “spreading like a cancer” across Europe.
Gen. Breedlove is the NATO supreme allied commander in Europe. Yesterday, he told the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee that Russia and the Assad regime are compounding the problem deliberately by conducting airstrikes that drive civilians from their homes.
Referring to the indiscriminate use of weapons by Assad and the Russians, Breedlove said:
“…I can’t find any other reason for them other than to cause refugees to be on the move and make them someone else’s problem.”
Breedlove sais that some 1,500 European natives who had gone to fight with ISIS, have now returned to their native countries, weaponized – that is, equipped with military skills and extremist ideology.

I know it sounds crazy, but reliable reports claim that ISIS now is using chemical weapons, but worse than that, it has biological weapons under development at well-funded labs in Syria.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee yesterday and confirmed that ISIS not only has produced a chemical weapon, but has now used it.
According to former Navy Seal, Rob O’Neill - the man who shot Osama bin Laden - the new chemical weapon is an colorless, odorless blistering agent. He explained on Fox News this morning that this is just the tip of the iceberg and that even more deadly weapons are under development.

O’Neill said that the U.S. government is doing nothing about this:

Yup. That’s what he said. ISIS has made a direct threat that the United States would be attacked tomorrow; Thursday, Feb. 11th.

A vitamin combo has halted brain cell loss in extensive studies on mice.
The combination is based on a blend of 30 vitamins and minerals widely available in health food stores – including common ingredients such as vitamins B, C and D, folic acid, green tea extract, and cod liver oil.
Researchers believe that it may slow the progress of catastrophic neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
According to Dr. Jennifer Lemon, an Asst. Prof. @ Northern Ontario Medical School and a Research Associate at McMaster Univ:
“The findings are dramatic. Our hope is this supplement could offset some very serious illnesses and ultimately improve quality of life.”
Dr. Lemon was the lead author in the study first published in the May edition of the journal Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis.
The title of the article is very strong for a professional medical journal:
“A multi-ingredient dietary supplement abolishes large-scale brain cell loss, implores sensory function, and prevents neuronal atrophy in aging mice.”
According to Dr. Lemon:
'The research suggests there is tremendous potential with this supplement to help people who are suffering from some catastrophic neurological diseases.
'We know this because mice experience the same basic cell mechanisms that contribute to neuro-degeneration that humans do. All species, in fact. There is a commonality among us all.'
Mice were first tested on the supplement combo. After 22 months – the equivalent of 70 to 80 years of age in humans, the untreated mice had experienced a 50% decline in movement and become hunchbacked, arthritic and thin. The treated mice were acting like they were still teenagers, rather than frail and elderly.
When the scientists analyzed their mitochondria in their brains, they found fewer “free radicals”, which are believed to cause aging.
The combination was then tried on mice who had lost mere then half their brain cells – the human equivalent of severe Alzheimer’s disease. But after several months of treatment, their improvement was remarkable.
It completely reversed the severe brain cell loss and eliminated the Alzheimer’s-like symptoms. The supplement also boosted their vision, balance and sense of smell – the loss of which are frequently associated with Alzheimer’s.
Human trials are coming – first to those suffering from neuro-degenerative diseases.
