The Koch brothers triage Wisconsin Republican Ron Johnson

While Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson has trailed in the polls in his rematch with Democrat Russ Feingold, Republicans sounded prepared to spend big to try and help him win in the fall. However, Team Red appears to have finally decided that Johnson is just a poor investment. On Wednesday, local news station NBC 15, citing an unnamed Democratic media tracker, reported that Freedom Partners Action Fund, a group close to the Koch brothers, has canceled $2.2 million in fall TV ad reservations. The move comes one day after Johnson spoke at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Donald Trump.
Only the day before, the National Republican Senatorial Committee confirmed that, while they weren’t canceling their own ads, they would be pushing their reservation from August and September to the final three weeks of the contest. While the group said they were only changing the timing of their investment, it’s a pretty dire sign for Johnson that his allies plan to only run ads during the last weeks of the race. Johnson already trails Feingold in cash-on-hand $7.2 million to $6.3 million. Johnson is wealthy, but he hasn’t poured his own money into his re-election campaign. We’ll see if the calculation changes now that Johnson appears to have been triaged by his own party.

One of the Koch brothers was asked not long ago about voting for Hillary, and he didn't rule it out, lol...

The most basic duty of government is to defend the lives of its own citizens.


Any government that fails to do so is a government unworthy to lead.


It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation.


I will present the facts plainly and honestly.


We cannot afford to be so politically correct anymore.


So if you want to hear the corporate spin, the carefully-crafted lies, and the
media myths—the Democrats are holding their convention next week.


But here, at our convention, there will be no lies. We will honor the
American people with the truth, and nothing else.


These are the facts:
Decades of progress made in bringing down crime are now being reversed by this Administration’s rollback of criminal enforcement.


Homicides last year increased by 17% in America’s fifty largest cities.


That’s the largest increase in 25 years.


In our nation’s capital, killings have risen by 50 percent.


They are up nearly 60% in nearby Baltimore.


In the President’s hometown of Chicago, more than 2,000 people have
been the victims of shootings this year alone. And almost 4,000 have been
killed in the Chicago area since he took office.


The number of police officers killed in the line of duty has risen by almost
50% compared to this point last year.


Nearly 180,000 illegal immigrants with criminal records, ordered deported
from our country, are tonight roaming free to threaten peaceful citizens.


The number of new illegal immigrant families who have crossed the border so far this year already exceeds the entire total from 2015.
They are being
released by the tens of thousands into our communities with no regard for
the impact on public safety or resources.


One such border-crosser was released and made his way to Nebraska.


There, he ended the life of an innocent young girl named Sarah Root.
She
was 21 years-old, and was killed the day after graduating from college with
a 4.0 Grade Point Average. Her killer was then released a second time,
and he is now a fugitive from the law.


I’ve met Sarah’s beautiful family. But to this Administration, their amazing
daughter was just one more American life that wasn’t worth protecting. One
more child to sacrifice on the altar of open borders.

"What about our economy?"

Again, I will tell you the plain facts that have been edited out of your nightlynews and your morning newspaper:


Nearly Four in 10 African-American children are living in poverty, while 58% of African-American youth are not employed.


2 million more Latinos are in poverty today than when President Obamatook his oath of office less than eight years ago.


Another 14 million people have left the workforce entirely.


Household incomes are down more than 4 thousand dollars since the year2000 – 16 years ago.

Our trade deficit in goods reached nearly 800 billion dollars last year alone.

The budget is no better.

President Obama has almost doubled our national debt to more than 19trillion dollars, and growing.

Yet, what do we have to show for it?

Our roads and bridges are fallingapart, our airports are in Third World condition, and forty-three million Americans are on food stamps.

Now let us consider the state of affairs abroad.


Not only have our citizens endured domestic disaster, but they have lived
through one international humiliation after another.




We all remember the images of our sailors being forced to their knees by
their Iranian captors at gunpoint.


This was just prior to the signing of the Iran deal, which gave back to Iran
150 billion dollars and gave us nothing – it will go down in history as one of
the worst deals ever negotiated.




Another humiliation came when president Obama drew a red line in Syria –
and the whole world knew it meant nothing.




In Libya, our consulate – the symbol of American prestige around the globe
– was brought down in flames




America is far less safe – and the world is far less stable – than when
Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton in charge of America’s
foreign policy. I am certain it is a decision he truly regrets.



Her bad instincts and her bad judgement – something pointed out by
Bernie Sanders – are what caused so many of the disasters unfolding
today.

Once you understand everything he posts is satire, it all makes perfect sense.
