Britain’s Brexit vote took many by complete surprise. Primarily because the major media was completely unaware, or purposely misleading, about voter sentiment throughout most of that nation. The same held true for the majority of Parliament, up to and including Prime Minister David Cameron, who’s now resigned because he was unable, or unwilling, to grasp the sentiment of the majority of his people. 

The preceding is noteworthy today, because this same Brexit vote more than likely offers a clear prediction of what will take place in the U.S. when voters go to the polls this coming November. And that's because both nations run parallel as far as key voter sentiment is concerned. The majority's upset about lack of jobs, extremely high unemployment rates, loss of national identity to globalization , and particularly, unbridled illegal immigration.

In specific regard to the media, however, two articles today illustrate clearly how particular bias and promotion of a self-serving agenda frequently misleads the public in general.

Gary Langer @abcnews.go.com, headlined his article yesterday: “Clinton Opens 12-Point Lead on Trump as Two-Thirds See Him as Biased (POLL)”

Langer went on: “Hillary Clinton surged to a broad advantage against Donald Trump in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, capitalizing on Trump’s recent campaign missteps. Two-thirds of Americans see him as biased against groups such as women, minorities or Muslims, and a new high, 64 percent, call Trump unqualified to serve as president. 

“These and other doubts about Trump have produced a sharp 14-point swing in preferences among registered voters, from +2 points for Trump in mid-May, after he clinched the GOP nomination, to +12 points for Clinton now, 51-39 percent. That snaps the race essentially back to where it was in March.” 

Then, on the very same day, Anthony Salvanto @cbsnews.com, posted a column titled: “Poll: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton in tight races in battleground states” 

According to Mr. Salvanto: “Battleground states are called battlegrounds for a reason: They're often close, and 2016 looks like no exception.” 

The text says: “Hillary Clinton holds narrow leads over Donald Trump across a number of key states of Florida (up three points, 44 to 41 percent); Colorado (Clinton 40 percent, Trump 39 percent); Wisconsin (Clinton up 41 percent to 36 percent) and North Carolina, which has flipped back and forth between the parties in the last two elections, where it's Clinton 44 percent and Trump 42 percent.” 

So, two major media outlet's present two completely different polls resulting in two completely different conclusions. One shows Trump being eclipsed, the other having in him almost a virtual tie at this point. 

All of which goes to illustrate that the presidential race’s outcome is total unknown at present. And, if the Brexit vote is the indicator that many believe it truly is, when November finally rolls around the actual vote results will likely be the complete reverse of what the major media is trying to sell to their shrinking base of readers at present. 

On another subject, the economy, one needn’t be a sophisticated financial analyst to grasp the horrendous cost to the nation caused by misguided environmentalist ideology and inane rhetoric. Because, here we are as a nation in the midst of self-inflicted economic stagnation and buried in debt caused specifically by political pandering and an anti-business mentality at the top of the Democrat party.    

Proof of the premise can be found in an article by Scott Mayerowitz,  AP Business Writer @ap.org, who headed his column today: “Heading out of town: Independence Day travel to break record“ 

According to Mr. Mayerowitz: “A record 43 million Americans are expected to travel this Independence Day weekend, with the overwhelming majority driving, according to AAA, a car lobbying group and one of the nation's largest travel agencies. This tops the joint record set last year and in 2007. 

“Lower gas prices, strong consumer confidence and a generally healthy domestic economy have led more families to take trips this summer. 

“AAA estimates that U.S. drivers have saved $20 billion on gasoline so far this year compared to the same period last year. Gas prices as of June 20 were 46 cents per gallon below prices from a year ago. 

"We are well on our way for 2016 to be a record-breaking year for summertime travel," said AAA President and CEO Marshall Doney.” 

Interestingly, until last year when gas prices began tumbling, thanks to fracking, the travel and business drought coincide precisely to the period during which Obama presided over the U.S. Which means that had he not pandered to environmentalist drivel, the chances re the nation;s economy would have been amidst a major recovery by now, while the huge national debt would likely have shrunk considerably.  

It also means that whatever safeguards these same lunatic environmentalists wished to see in place would not only have been affordable, they’d have plenty of money and time to simultaneously search for alternative sources of fuel and energy. However, liberal logic never extends that far. Because their immediate reaction is always to kill the goose, whether or not there’s a viable solution to the incredible level of damage they invariably cause due to unearned self-importance and world class absences of basic knowledge. 

And then, a friend sent this one: 

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

In his dogged personal effort to interpret and promote his ceaseless discovering's of Bill’s wife’s offenses, Judge Andrew Napolitano @foxnews.com, this morning dropped another bombshell, as follows: 

“The discovery of a potentially damning email that Hillary Clinton failed to turn over to the State Department is of "critical importance."

“On "Mornings With Maria," Judge Napolitano explained that the email was from top Clinton aide Huma Abedin to the then-secretary of state and her inner circle, saying that they had been hacked and they were temporarily disabling State Department security features to accommodate Clinton’s private server.” 

The judge said this directly contradicts Bill’s wife’s repeated claims that she never jeopardized national security secrets and that her emails were never hacked. Adding that: “U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan suspected that Clinton was not being forthcoming in releasing all her work-related emails, so he had her swear "under penalty of perjury" that she had surrendered all her governmental emails to the State Department. 

"That is a code phrase for 'I think you're lying to me,'" the judge explained. 

Equally important, he said "that if the Justice Department declines to indict Clinton for political reasons, many FBI investigators and Justice Department prosecutors could rebel and leak details of the investigation. 

"If FBI agents resign and leak on the eve of the election or the eve of the DNC, does President Obama have a Watergate-like, Saturday Night Massacre on his hands?" 

“The "Saturday Night Massacre" refers to Richard Nixon's 1973 firing of a special prosecutor and the resignation of his attorney general during the Watergate scandal.” 

Thus, this is the lingering issue continuing to smolder just outside Bill’s wife’s current presidential campaign. It’s uncertain conclusion may also very may be the reason that Sander’s hasn’t conceded to her as yet. Because, if she’s indicted or otherwise damaged by FBI detail leakage, someone will certainly have to replace her as a candidate. A position Sanders certainly qualifies for, considering his primary election performance. 

It also calls for the asking of the continuing question once more: Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz, are you guys reading this?    

That’s it for today folks.
