Wednesday, February 17th, 2016
(LA Times) Donald Trump has been toppled by Sen. Ted Cruz for the Republican nomination for president, according to a new NBC News/WSJ poll.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz now is the first choice of GOP Primary Voters nationwide at 28% to 26% for Donald Trump, followed by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 17% – Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 11% – Dr. Ben Carson at 10% and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush at 4%
The results from the poll conducted subsequent to Donald Trump’s victory in New Hampshire and Saturday’s GOP Debate in South Carolina are a significant reversal from last month when Trump held a 13 pt lead over Cruz — 33% to 20%

China Regime Arrests Christian Pastor After Opposing Removal of Crosses

Fears of a Bid to ‘Silence’ Christians in China
After More Arrests –Premier
(China Change) Pastor Gu Yuese, leader minister of a Chinese govt approved sanctioned Church in Hangzhou, was arrested on the 27 January and placed in secret detention for opposing cross removal. Pastor Gu’s wife Zhou Lianmei was arrested with him but is believed to have been subsequently released. Their home was ransacked by Chinese authorities, an indication that criminal charges will be brought against him.
Last July, the Zhejiang Christian Council headed by Pastor Gu, published a strongly worded open letter opposing the campaign in the Province to tear down Church Crosses — Pastor Gu’s disappearance is believed to be in retaliation for his refusal to cooperate with the China regime.
In August, I posted a picture here of Chinese Christians Wenzhou, protesting the removal of Crosses and on the 30 December, 2014 I wrote here about other Crosses in Wenzhou, together with a Cross at a convalescent home in Hangzhou Zhejiang Province, ordered removed by China regime Marxist Thugs.
Where is the moral outrage by the Obama Administration, MSM and political candidates, of the ongoing Christian persecution in China?

What Is One To Make Of the GOP National Polls? Trump Leads Carson or is Carson Leading Trump?
Tuesday, October 27th, 2015
Real Clear Politics Avg — Donald Trump Leads All Candidates
However according to a new CBS/NYTimes poll Dr. Ben Carson leads GOP field nationally unless of course, one views the latest One America News Network Survey which indicates that Trump leads Carson by 14 points nationwide.
What’s one to make of all this?
Public opinion polls are inherently wrong as ‘there’s a whole lot of fibbin’ going on out there’ between voters and pollsters.

Trump Leads California Republicans According to New USC/Los Angeles Times Poll
Sunday, September 13th, 2015
(LA Times) Fueled by derision for politics as usual, Donald Trump has vaulted to the top of the Republican field among California voters according to a new USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times poll taken from the 29 August through 08 September, conducted by the Democratic pollster Greenberg Quinlan Roner Research & Republican pollster American Viewpoint.
According to Greenberg Quinlan Roner, “The study included an oversample of 400–Latino registered voters” total number of Latino voters sampled was 513 of the random sample survey of 1,500 respondents.
So much for the constant drumbeat by ‘Democrat Talking Heads’ of how Latino voters are expected to vote–doesn’t seem they’re listening to them either.
Dear Mr. Trump: Should Mexico Not Pay for the Border Wall, How Much Will It Cost Taxpayers?
Saturday, September 5th, 2015
Present Day: U.S Federal Debt –U.S. Debt Clock
(Newsmax) Completing construction of the ‘Great Wall of Mexico’ to discourage illegal immigration along our Southern border would cost Billions, though experts disagree how many.
With an $18.373 Trillion mushrooming federal debt how does Trump realistically propose to pay for the border fence should Mexico, despite Trump’s ‘great negotiating skills’ refuse to do so?
The federal government starting in the 1990s built one section of a double and triple layered fence–near San Diego, then between passage of the 2006 law and January, 2013 the Feds erected 651 miles (exact length appears to be in dispute) of mostly single layer fencing across our Southern border which cost taxpayers some $2.4 Billion
The ‘Dept of Homeland Security’ has reportedly said that different types of fencing have been put up along sections of the Southern border according to the Washington Examiner this week. In total, some 352 miles have a fence at a cost of over $7 Million a mile, at that rate a full fence would cost at least $11.7 Billion (a wall would cost considerably more) not to mention all of the additional ongoing outlays which would include: lighting, more checkpoints, cameras, vehicle barriers, airport style metal detectors and personnel costs for a total cost of how much?
These are fair questions for voters and for Mr. Trump to provide answers to. While one may be willing to give Mr. Trump, the benefit of the doubt to his response nearly 5 months out before the first GOP primary ballots are cast next year that he’ll “build a great wall” this however, is not an answer that voters (taxpayers) should be willing to accept without more clear and concise answers.
One may be assured if Republicans and Tea Party Conservatives don’t demand answers from Mr. Trump going into 2016 that Democrats and Independents most certainly will.
