[This above-the-fold announcement serves as a culmination of a -year of intense

lobbying: the Mandatory Holocaust Education Bill passed the Senate unanimously [with
only Sen. Washington absent] and, presumably, will fly through the House and be signed
by Corbett; common-ground was IDed via an amendment by Sen. Folmer that would
allow for a voluntary initiative during the next two years, with a mandate imposed if
fewer than 90% of the school districts comply. Needless to type, we are thrilled.]

[Meanwhile, daily calls are being generated to Temple U. regarding ongoing presence of
a Holocaust-Denier on its faculty; the initial effort will be focused upon the need for this
anti-Semite/anti-Zionist to recant (and later to explain the origin of these ideas).]

Needless to write, there is a certain celebratory atmosphere abounding among those who have labored
within the TEA {Taxed Enough Already} Party Movement; captured here are the highlights of the flying
e-mail and phone-chats that have emerged overnight. Key-concepts that must be dismissed [after the
pundits @ FNC/MSNBC have been duly monitored] is that turnout was HIGHER than it had been in 12
[despite the rain]; its possible a chaos project drew Dem-votes [recalling the concept that was coined
by Rush during the primary with Hillary in 08], but Cantor lost everywhere [urban/suburban, including
in his home-county] and that a harbinger had occurred [when his handpicked candidate for party-chair
had been defeated]. Last Thursday, Id noted Cantor was forced to respond to competitive pressure
when contrasting what occurred in Richmond with what didnt happen in PA [regarding Mike Fitzpatrick]
and Id also noted deceit [Eric Cantor Sends Another Deceptive Anti-Amnesty Mailer] when disagreeing
vigorously with predictions [re-stated yesterday in the Wall Street Journal, on Election Day, which
claimed 'Immigration has been a No-Show in GOP Primaries']; this is what I wrote in response to such
claims [48-hours ago], noting that graph #1 is my view and graph #2 is that of Politico-Libs:

Politically, there is no doubt that this issue has affected at least one GOP-Primary race,
as Dave Brat claimed Illegal Immigrants are Pouring into USA After House Majority
Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) betrayed his district on amnesty, Announced 'Kids Are
Welcome,' and shares the blame for surge in illegal immigrant children flooding into the
country. When his Hometown Paper Endorsed Cantor, it Made No Mention of Amnesty;
perhaps, as a result, a POLL showed CANTOR'S LEAD had been CUT TO 52-39 IN
VIRGINIA PRIMARY. Nevertheless, Cantors comment on Border Crisis
[incomprehensively] was: Let's Work with Obama to Give 'Kids' Amnesty.

Politico-Libs [falsely] claimed IMMIGRATION HAS HAD LITTLE IMPACT ON PRIMARIES by
ignoring other factors affecting local races and by cherry-picking analysis of the national
races, ignoring Cantors: Sen. Lindsey Graham appeared to put himself in political
jeopardy when he wrote and championed an overhaul of immigration laws, but he is
poised to lap the field in Tuesday's Republican primary in South Carolina. GOP Sen.
Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, who also backed the bill, is in a strong position ahead of
his primary this August. Rep. Renee Ellmers (R., N.C.) easily survived a primary challenge
after backing liberalized laws. And Tim Donnelly, a leader in the movement to stop
illegal immigration, lost to another Republican this month in California's open primary
for governor. Opposition to an immigration-law overhaul remains high within the
Republican Party, but primary season is showing that support isn't necessarily a career-
ending move, nor is opposition a clear path to the nomination. That could factor into
the decision by House GOP leaders on whether to move broad immigration legislation
this year. Boehner (R., Ohio) hasn't brought any immigration bills to the House floor,
allowing his members to avoid taking a position. Defeats of Republicans who back new
legislation surely would have hurt the measures' chances.

GOP NEEDS TO FOCUS ON 'MAIN STREET OVER WALL STREET' [per Brat]; Id add that this constituted a
defeat by Main St. over BOTH Wall St. AND K St., as was noted obliquely [Lamar Alexander and Thad
Cochran Braced for Falls After Cantor Crumbled and TN SENATE CHALLENGER claimed LAMAR
ALEXANDER IS THE NEXT ERIC CANTOR]. Additional commentary [c/o Drudge/Breitbart] serves to
amplify the historic nature of this event [assuming the GOP-Establishment adjusts accordingly]:

GOP's habit of eating its own, reflecting a well-established pattern of insurgent attacks
on the establishment. {This snarky topic by Politico covers-up its prior erros, vide infra.}
The GOP leadership scramble - Eric Cantor was presumed to be John Boehner's heir.
Cantor loss kills immigration reform - Tuesdays result is likely to raise pressure on
Obama to use executive authority on deportations. {Note suggestion that BHO would
only be doing anything due to external pressure rather than acting on personal views.}
Pelosi: 'Whole new ballgame' - Eric Cantor has long been the face of House
Republicans extreme policies," she says. [Email from a Democrat close to Pelosi: "This
is the biggest upset of all of our political careers. Republicans and Democrats of all
stripes on K Street and especially in the tech world are shocked and ultimately
depressed. We all know that this will only lead to more Republicans being scared of
bipartisan issues, which will only lead to further gridlock."]
Boehner's status now seems more secure
For Obama, Cantor loss at a price - The expectation is that Republicans will now stay
further away from immigration and other issues.
Brat, the college professor, said he won because he benefited from Cantor's attack ads.

intransigence is remarkable, and reminiscent of this summary of current journalism:
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), perhaps the most outspoken amnesty proponent in Congress,
said the stunning defeat of Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the primary Tuesday is no
impediment to President Obama moving forward with immigration unilaterally.

This was the WaPos pre-election posture: Responsible Virginians, even Democrats,
may have an obligation to vote for Cantor to make sure Brats politics are rejected.
{Rush opened his mologue with this precise point, noting that the poll didnt discuss
Amnesty. Thus, he corroborated the manipulation Id sensed, per this analysis.}

One commenter wrote the following:

Cantor a political hack. Didn't care about the details of gun control, kowtowed to short
term business interests on illegal aliens, diluting our democracy. GOA ran up the middle
against him. The guy was spineless. Establishment hogs neglected to acknowledge or
recognize the Republican base, which is speaking ever stronger, failed to acknowledge
or recognize winner Brat, or to ask him to stay the Cantor course on Israel. More DC
beltway people totally out of touch with the voters, taxpayers, citizens, moms, dads, out
of work car won't run Americans.

[GOA = Gun Owners of America. Long-time sleeper, now emerging as replacement for
NRA, which is seen as an arm of GOP-Establishment [confirmed by personal experience]
{I had also heard of this split, but hadnt recognized its intensity.}

Note this commentary [Cantor loss is shocking only to those who are not paying attention]:

Yes, yes, yes, Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) was an important man, high up, famous,
powerfulblah blah blah. And he lost his five-million dollar primary campaign to a grass
roots candidate who spent a couple hundred thousand dollars.
Hey, Republican establishment folks, are you now paying attention?
Do you maybe now understand what so many of your own voters have been telling you
for years?
To wit: America is worth saving, and it can only be saved by breaking from the creeping
Big Government identity of moderate Republicans. That means No on amnesty, No on
gun control, No on universal background checks aka gun owners database, No on
ObamaDontCare.
In other words, Hell Yes on freedom and liberty.
Cantor failed on these issues, and his voters punished him for it.
While the NRA lost out to Gun Owners of America in this race, probably no group was
more closely identified with Cantor, and the Republican establishment around him, than
the Republican Jewish Coalition, a nice group I have had some exposure to. Sadly, RJC
mishandled Cantors loss in a gargantuan way that may spell the organizations descent
or even demise. In many ways, Tuesday nights RJC is emblematic of the larger
Republican establishment, which also seems determined to drive itself over a cliff.
Late Tuesday night, 11:26 PM, to be exact, the RJC issued a brief lamentation about
Cantors electoral loss and how great Cantor was and blah blah blah.
Did RJC acknowledge that REPUBLICAN voters had spoken? Nope. Did RJC congratulate
the winner, economics professor David Brat? Nope. Did RJC publicly stake out hopes
for Brat to follow closely in Cantors pro-Israel shoes? Nope.
Instead, RJC came across as soundly rejecting the wisdom of REPUBLICAN voters in
Cantors former district, and failing to acknowledge the Big Government issues of a) gun
(citizen) control and b) illegal aliens, who are destroying American democracy,
disenfranchising American voters, and robbing American taxpayers.
RJC may be a small group with great intentions, but Tuesday night, they were the lost
voice for the entire Republican Establishment. And it shows just how out of touch the
establishment is with the American citizen. Every conservative activist who reads the
RJC statement will wonder what the hell is in the DC Beltway water, because it sure isnt
anything theyd want to drink.
The folks who ran and funded Cantors campaign, who issued public statements for him,
who stood by him when he wafted in the wind on critical issues, and who bewailed his
loss, are incredibly out of touch with the actual voters, taxpayers, citizens, moms, dads,
students, and out-of-work-car-wont-run Americans who are slowly, surely, awakening
to the crisis we are in, and who are not not shocked that Cantor lost.
But the expertsthey are shocked.
Another individual wrote the following:
From personal experience, in 08, I learned that there is a divide between [Jewish]
Conservatives and the rank-and-file in DC. The Republican Jewish Coalition will give Brat
full support as it does all GOP candidates. There are more Conservatives in the RJC than
may be apparent; for us, this is a victory. It is also proof that term-limits are important
to keep leaders on point rather than politically expedient.
David Brat's support for Israel has yet to be examined. Domestically, he hit every note
Conservatives care about. As a professor of economics he brings a refreshing,
knowledgable voice of reason to Congress. He made himself available to constituents
and provided a plan of action for domestic problems. He did not get big money from Tea
Party groups despite being characterized as a Tea Party darling.
Eric Cantor seemed more interested in DC politics than the concerns of the people in his
district. Eric is a nice guy and a Conservative on most issues but Immigration/amnesty
and being inaccessible cost him the primary. Unfortunately, I understand he became
arrogant in the past 4 years.
Based on the lightening speed response from DWS [both on TV and via an immediate
fundraising letter] characterizing Brat as a Tea Party insider, he is a greater threat to the
Dem (Obama) agenda than Cantor would have been. Amnesty is on the table for 2014.
Pundits expect Obama will sign another executive order today on immigration based on
election results from this contest. {Ive read that he wont do this until after mid-terms.}
It should be noted that both of the above-authors [and myself] are Jewish, illustrating the preference
that is shared among true-conservatives to promote key-policies @ the risk of losing a strong supporter
of Israel. [Subsequent colloquy among us has reinforced this viewpoint, recognizing that the RJC may be
lamenting what we actually are praising.] Here is another personal reaction:

David Brat ran as a REPUBLICAN, and with the support he garnered from grass-root
REPUBLICANS he took down the bully. The tea party may have backed Mr. Brat, but its
support [in particular in the $$$ part of the campaign] was woefully inadequate. Laura
Ingraham and Mark Levin were piviotal; thus, the support for this candidate needs to go
straight to this candidate [not the republican party or the tea party]. Vet your own
candidates whom you want to support and support them; this "we did it" mantra from
everyone saying they helped David, the only people who helped and won this campaign
was DAVID BRAT and his intelligence, honesty and support of principles, and oh yes the
people who voted for him to take down the bully cantor. {Plus TALK RADIO, in my view.}
This is what NUMBERS-USA announced:

PROF. BRAT WHO PLEDGED TO SUPPORT ALL 12 OF NUMBERSUSA'S SURVEY GOALS
Immigration was the key issue in what numerous national commentators are indicating
was one of the biggest political upsets in congressional history. David Brat was
incredibly outspent and little known, but defeated the man who most Congress
observers expected to be the next Speaker of the House.
Throughout Wednesday, we will be updating our news coverage of this biggest election
story of the year that came out of Richmond, Virginia today. Check it out at:
www.NumbersUSA.com
Chuck Todd told Rachel Maddow on MSNBC that Rep. Cantor's defeat in the Republican
Primary today killed any chance of "immigration reform" this year.
Many others are concluding the same. We certainly hope they are right.
My public statement this evening was:
"The wage-earning voters of Rep. Cantor's district apparently felt
abandoned by his immigration positions that virtually ignored their
anxiety about stagnant wages and high unemployment and that
projected primary concern for unlawful foreign visitors and employers
seeking more foreign workers.
"Prof. Brat's insistence that immigration policies should focus on the
needs of American workers and taxpayers provided a sharp contrast to
the corporate-driven vision of the top echelon of the Republican Party
that Rep. Cantor exemplified.
"Prof. Brat pledged to seek all 12 of NumbersUSA's legislative
priorities, which essentially are the recommendations of the bi-
partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform to cut legal
immigration by half and to turn off the magnets for illegal
immigration."
Brat is an economics professor who understands that even Congress can't revoke the
law of supply and demand. He believes that if Congress floods labor markets with
foreign workers, wages will be depressed, and that the government shouldn't do that to
its citizens.
Novel thoughts, right?
View Prof. Brat's immigration survey
Prof. Brat said he supports eliminating birthright citizenship for the births to illegal
aliens and foreign visitors, eliminating chain migration and the lottery, and stopping
the importation of unnecessary foreign workers.
Rep. Cantor, on the other hand, was part of the House Republican leadership in 2011
and 2012 who refused to allow a floor vote on an exceptionally strong E-Verify bill
passed by the House Judiciary Committee.
Behind the scenes all last year, Cantor sought to engineer passage of a series of bills that
apparently would have given amnesty to at least a couple of million illegal aliens while
greatly increasing the number of new foreign workers brought into the country. While
Cantor was willing to require additional enforcement along with those increases, his
influence repeatedly watered down the effectiveness of any new enforcement that was
written into bills.
Nonetheless, none of those bills has come to the floor -- and he never unveiled the "Kids
Act" amnesty despite talking about it for a year and giving ammunition to those who
sought to unseat him.
Cantor's plummet from public approval based on the amnesty issue is even greater than
that of Sen. Marco Rubio last year who went from being the most popular 2016 GOP
presidential contender to an also-ran after leading the charge for the Gang of Eight
amnesty.
We tend to agree with TV commentators tonight who suggest that Cantor's loss today
threatens to greatly unsettle the House GOP leadership in ways yet to be determined.
Our interest, as always, will be only on how it affects immigration. Keep coming back to
NumbersUSA.com to follow the story.
I know you are especially appreciative of our NumbersUSA staff who have kept you
informed about this Virginia contest over recent months.
A friend forwarded this essay exploring The Other Reason Eric Cantor Lost [which recalls the observation
that he had lost a county-level GOP election approximately a month ago and also notes the problems
(which exist also in PA) related to the endorsement process]:
Eric Cantors defeat has finally given me cause to rejoin to share with you a smaller, yet I
think just as important reason for Eric Cantors defeat. It boils down to one word.
Slating.
Starting this spring, Eric Cantor and his chief consultant Ray Allen, along with various
other goons from his Young Guns network, invaded county and congressional district
Republican conventions and manipulated the rules to slate off Republican activists to
deliver congressional district chairmanships to his allies. This first happened at the
Virginia Beach mass meeting back a few months ago. The contest was between State
Sen. Frank Wagner and Republican activist Curtis Colgate for the chairmanship of
Virginias second district. Wagner was the establishment pick and Colgate the
grassroots. Wagner and his Young Gun allies slated off hundreds of activists that were
being elected to the second district convention.
It was petty, unfair, and ridiculous. When the 2
nd
CD convention met thankfully the
slating was reversed and Colgate was elected chairman, though as of now I do believe it
is still being contested to the State Central Committee. There was another story out of
rural Campbell County in Virginias 5
th
district where Allen and Cantors Young Guns
succeeded in slating and later on winning the 5
th
District chairmanship. A sitting
Republican delegate was actually slated. The tide was turned in the 3
rd
District, where
2012 Ron Paul state chairman turned 20-something conservative leader Chris Stearns
beat back slating to get reelected to his chairmanship. The real omen came a few weeks
ago right there in Cantors 7
th
district when incumbent chairman Linwood Cobb was
ousted shockingly by Dave Brat-backed Fred Gruber.
So what does all this mean?
If it wasnt for Cantors bullying across the state, his attempt to disenfranchise
Republican activists (and not just tea partiers), outraged Republicans across the
state. The blogs, Facebook, and Twitter exploded in the last few months over these
actions and it gave Brat at the very least statewide sympathy if not an army of potential
volunteers who didnt need much motivation. Cantors district is dead center in the
state and its not that hard to get to. Nobody would have given Dave Brat the time of
day no matter what he attacked Cantor with if it werent for this colossal mistake rooted
in Cantors vanity and dream to somehow become the Republican boss of
Virginia. Cantor needlessly angered so many people that suddenly everyone was willing
to give Brat a listen. He is a college professor, this is not someone who will easily be
distorted as some sort of nut job unfit for office. He is thoughtful, smart, and
hardworking. Cantor then went into negative overdrive, calling Brat a liberal college
professor and pointing to a paper one of his students wrote who he was an adviser to,
all the while insulting everyones intelligence. He is also notorious for not having very
good constituent service.
In short, Dave Brat is talking to the air if Eric Cantor doesnt decided to bully his way
through the state party, slating good activists and creating enemies everywhere. Forget
amnesty, forget asking if Democrats voted (its an open primary) Eric Cantor lost
because he attacked his own party across local, county, and congressional district
conventions. Around Virginia, the word slating was spat out and Cantor owned it. Let
me tell you, the supporters of Young Guns and slating where all over social media
laughing, bragging, and making fun of the grassroots for beating them at their own
game, meaning conventions. It was nasty. It was only after all of that was Brat then
able to expose Cantors record on amnesty, spending, TARP, etc etc. It was just the icing
on the cake.
As further evidence of the ascendency of the Conservative message, note:

Ken Cuccinelli, the former Attorney General of Virginia, will serve as the president of the
Senate Conservatives Fund!
Hes a principled fighter who is respected by the grassroots and is passionate about
electing the next generation of conservative leaders.
Throughout his time in public service, whether in Virginias State Senate or as Attorney
General, Ken led the fight to defend constitutional rights, protect life, stop tax increases,
and keep Virginia a low-regulation state.
As Attorney General, Ken fought the federal government to reduce burdensome
regulations from the EPA, FCC, National Labor Relations Board, and -- most famously --
was the first to sue to stop Obamacare.
Ken Cuccinelli is the perfect person to continue and expand on what former Senator
Jim DeMint started with SCF.
Watch Ken's Video Message to SCF Members
Were confident that Ken will help the grassroots do even more to help elect principled
conservatives to the U.S. Senate.
And Ken could not be joining our team at a better time.
The Washington establishment is spending tens of millions of dollars to defeat
conservative candidates, but the grassroots are fighting back.
Not only did Dave Brat win in Virginia last night, but thanks to your support, Ben Sasse
won in Nebraska and Joni Ernst won in Iowa.
And now we're on the verge of nominating Chris McDaniel in Mississippi and T.W.
Shannon in Oklahoma on June 24
th
.
Conservatives are on the move and it's more important than ever for the grassroots to
work together to support principled candidates.
Please watch Ken Cuccinelli's video message to all SCF members and then send him a
quick note welcoming him to the team.
Ken explains why he's excited to join SCF and why it's important for Americans to stand
up to the Washington establishment.
Thank you for your dedication to our nation's founding principles and thank you for
supporting SCF. You're changing Washington one election at a time.

Obama Popularity Hit Low [44%] in Poll After Prisoner Exchange, per Bloomberg; it is
down from his previous low of 46%, in December. Fifty-two percent see him
unfavorably, matching the December high. And majorities disapprove of his job
performance across a spectrum of issues. Fifty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of
Obama's handling of health care, 4 percentage points higher than in March, even as the
law exceeded its original signup targets. Fifty-seven percent disapprove of his
management of the economy, with just 38 percent approving. [A WaPo-lib claimed BHO
is trapped in a self-constructed bubble, a prisoner of groupthink.]

Recalling how RMN was nailed via Watergate due to the cover-up and that this, in turn, was blown after
he was forced to divulge the raw-tapes, it seems that the same could occur with Benghazi-Gate; instead
of reading her 33-page chapter on the topic, one would think that Gowdy will want to read raw-data,
perhaps explaining why Hillary Clinton Doesn't Want to Turn Over Her Benghazi Notes. With Huma back
by her side, it seems Hillary conjured [a flimsy] Benghazi Video Explanation ripe for probing; her slipping
popularity will fall further as her dead broke quote takes hold (notwithstanding claims of a WaPo-lib
that its only a teachable moment that points to a hole in Hillary Clintons argument.

Another Hillary gaffe occurred when she said Abraham Lincoln had been a senator;
actually, he lost to Stephen A. Douglas after the Lincoln-Douglas debates {listen here}.

I actually write about Rahm in the book. I asked him not to read it
before we sat and did our interview! But it was in the very first chapter,
the chapter I rightly call Team of Rivals because thats what it was in
the beginning. A senator from Illinois ran against a senator from New
York just as had happened way back with a senator from Illinois named
Lincoln and a senator from New York named Seward. And it turned out
the same way.

[A Dem/lib who watched most of the last half of the Sawyer interview felt Hillary's
answers oen were not compelling; she was reluctant to take personal responsibility,
not even of the "the buck stops here" variety.] This is precisely what Talk Radio has been
observing, and it suggests she will probably not want to tarnish her image by subjecting
it to media-scrutiny [particularly noting that shell probably testify publicly to Gowdy.]

Regarding other domestic issues, NSA claimed it is necessary to destroy documents because its Systems
Are Too Complex To Stop Deleting Evidence. A Secret Bergdahl-Swap Prediction was that only one Will
Shun Taliban and two are LIKELY TO RETURN AS HONCHOS; Obama claimed he owed no explanation to
Congress for having Released Terrorists. Marijuana gaineds ground in the PA-Senate. Tom Ferricks last
column for AxisPhilly focuses on Philly-Corruption. {Also note that a first-grader in Cobbs Creek brought
multiple bags of heroin to school.}

Obama is looking to Act 'Administratively and Unilaterally' on Guns because Obama said
"mass shootings have become run of the mill" and the U.S. is "the only developed
country where this happens." In contrast, BHO praised Australia's firearm confiscation.
When expressing a preference for scrutiny over eliminating guns, a WaPo-lib may be
retreating. {Also, Sun News will no longer report killers' names or show photos.}
