Based on Polling Data Used By Fox New Genius, Trump Will Fall Short of 1,237 Delegated Needed

Some dork on Fox just rifled through all of the existing states left, overlaying polling data to make some back of the envelope projections.

The results were extremely dire for Donald Trump, who is only on pace to receive 1,193 delegates, which are many, many more than Rafael Cruz–but not enough to win the nomination.

Bottom line: Trump loses through victory. Cruz wins by coming in second. If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. And, also, if you like your plan and you like your doctor, you won’t have to do a thing. You keep your plan. You keep your doctor.

Russia is evil.

Trump Fires His Trebuchet at Lyin’ Ted and the Establishment, Calling Ted a ‘Trojan Horse’

After tonight’s establishment new world order win in Wisconsin, Donald Trump went apeshit in a memo released to the media, decrying LYIN’ TED as a ‘trojan horse’ a puppet and totally controlled by party hacks in an attempt to steal the nomination.

Here is the full statement.

LYIN TED

This is a significant step in The Donald’s ascendency to “Boss King” of America, totally and completely laying waste to the Grande Olde Party, who is hell bent on seeing him either destroyed against the rocks, broken or gone.

It’s looking more and more like a 3rd party might emerge from this fuckery that is to be the Republican Convention.

Bernard Sanders Slays the Beast in Wisconsin

Captain of the Madison High School track team, Bernard Sanders, annihilated H. Clinton this evening, in spite of the Clinton sex machine roaring through the state like a former white hair’d President after ingesting an entire bottle of viagra.

No one really gives a shit that Bernie won. The superdelegates cast their lot before the primary even occurred–gifting the Clinton harem with at least 5 of the 10 ‘super dels’ as they like to call them. Bernie is okay with fighting the long, uphill, battle. Growing up as a young man, basically orphaned by the death of both parents, displeased with college due to it being ‘boring and irrelevant’, Sanders made it his life’s work to seek the destruction of the billionaire class of people in the corrupt capitalistic society filled with nothing but catiffs and mountebanks, the US of A.

Rafael Edward Cruz Wins Big in Wisconsin, Sets Sights on Hillary

Canada’s own, Rafael Edward Cruz aka “Felito”, won big in Wisconsin this evening, crushing the orange one Donald J. Trump. The loss was so extreme and belligerent, it bordered on a violent act being committed on the reviled and insane republican front runner.

Immediately after Cruz was projected the winner, MSNBC host, Chris Mathews, skewered Trump, declaring the people have spoken and if he’s unable to complete the task of getting 1,237 delegates he would have lost the game–likening it to a game of golf. He furthered the American people do not like Trump and will not give him anything, aside from millions of votes.

In a victory speech this evening, Rafael warned Hillary Clinton that he was coming for her, celebrating victory over Trump in the cheeseheaded state of Wisconson, sacking an astounding 24 delegates in the process.

Republican hack and troll-like human being, Newt Gingrich, said in a Hannity interview that the establishment is nuts if they think an outside candidate will grab the nomination in a brokered convention. The menace of a Paul Ryan or Mitt’d Romney selection has the social media circles atomic bombing one another. Newt put that fear to rest, insisting that the winner will be either Trump or Cruz, in spite of the indelible facts that Rafael cannot win the election without causing a great hazard to the personal health of The Donald. According to the laws of mathematics, even after this glorious triumph in the tundra of Wisconsin, Cruz needs to take 85% of all existing delegates, a feat only possible in the 5th dimension or another realm of the multiverse.

NOTE: Like Barack Obama dismays his muslim middle name Hussein, Rafael Cruz would like to strike the name Rafael from the public record, in favor of the more american sounding “Ted”, in an effort to appeal to an otherwise racist trailer truck driving under-educated white male.

Bernie Sanders Declares War on $GE, Cites Selfish, Immoral, Greedy Behavior and Lack of Respect for America

The firebrands of this election cycle, B. Sanders and D. Trump, are both huge advocates for protecting American jobs through tariffs and never hesitate from throwing American companies, who actively seek slave wages abroad, under the proverbial bus.

GE, literally, gives zero fucks about America.

“That is greed and that’s selfishness. That is lack of respect for the people of this country,”

“General Electric was created in this country by American workers and American consumers,” Sanders said. “What we have seen over the many years is shutting down of many major plants in this country, sending jobs to low-wage countries.”

“If the only thing that matters to you is making an extra buck, you don’t care about my family. I think that’s immoral,” Sanders said. “And I think what corporate America has shown us in the last number of years, what Wall Street has shown us, the only thing that matters is their profits and their money. And the hell with the rest of the people of this country.”

According to Opensecrets.org, GE is quite active in political donations to both parties.

John McAfee on the Panama Papers: It’s an American Hoax to Blackmail People

The Panama Papers are all the rage in the media. It speaks very poorly for Icelandic leaders, who told the UK to fuck off during the financial crisis and actually jailed dozens of bankers. It also makes Putin look bad, someone on Obama’sa naughty list. In its totality, McAfee believes America released these papers in order to hurt its enemies and use additional information as leverage over people of importance.

Here is the interview aired today with A. Jones.

$CREE Crushed in After-Hours Earnings Debacle

CREE just humiliated themselves in the after hours, with an earnings miss that is bound to leave a significant sting. The competitive field of LED lighting, one that isn’t ingratiated with tax breaks most enjoyed by the solar crowd, is cannibalizing itself in a never-ending quest for commercial contracts.

The stock is down more than 15% in the after-hours.

Here is the companies statement, regarding this disaster.

“The estimated revenue is below the Company’s previously targeted range of $400 million to $430 million due to lower Lighting Products revenue,” stated Chuck Swoboda, Cree Chairman and CEO. “I believe we’ve addressed the root causes that led to our recent business challenges. While it’s premature to provide specific targets at this time, the order rate in commercial lighting improved in March, and we’re optimistic that this, combined with demand for new products, will begin to drive growth in fiscal Q4.”

  • Lighting Products revenue is estimated to be approximately $187 million, lower than previously targeted due primarily to lower commercial orders driven by three main factors: customer service disruptions related to our ERP system conversion, new product delays and a slower than forecast calendar Q1.
  • LED Products revenue is estimated to be in-line with the expectations for this segment in the Company’s previously announced revenue targets at approximately $151 million.
  • Power and RF Products revenue is estimated to be in-line with the expectations for this segment in the Company’s previously announced revenue targets at approximately $29 million.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP gross margins are estimated to be below the Company’s previously announced targets at approximately 29.7% and 30.5%, respectively. The difference between GAAP and non-GAAP gross margin is stock-based compensation expense.
  • GAAP and non-GAAP operating expenses are estimated to be $5 million lower than previously targeted. The difference between non-GAAP and GAAP operating expenses is stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles and income from equipment sales associated with the LED business restructuring.
  • The estimated earnings are below the Company’s previously targeted range of $0.04 to $0.11 per diluted share on a GAAP basis, and $0.22 to $0.29 per diluted share on a non-GAAP basis.
  • During its third fiscal quarter the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares of its common stock under the Company’s stock repurchase program at an average price of $28.15 per share with an aggregate value of $17.8 million. After this repurchase, there is $350 million in aggregate purchase price value remaining in the Company’s stock repurchase program through June 26, 2016.

Starbucks Plans to Open a 20,000 Square Foot Super Store in NYC

Come 2018, NYC will be blessed with heaven on earth. Starbucks is set to open its 2nd ‘roastery’ super store, the first being in Seattle. These stores are designed to hypnotize its customers into joining the coffee collective, for resistance is futile and the bean always wins.

“Our Seattle Roastery experience created something that had never been done before, transforming a retail environment into something far beyond just a coffee shop and into the single-best retail experience of any kind,” said CEO Howard Schultz in a statement.

These stores are like places of worship for coffee connoisseurs. All other NYC coffee retailers will soon be subjugated to the coal room class in the coffee hierarchy. H. Shultz and his billions will do for coffee what Walt Disney did for rollercoasters.

BEHOLD the Seattle roastery, coming soon to the major city near you.

Wall Street Logs a Triple Digit Loss as a Triple Threat Looms

China.

How is this debt/gdp story going to play out? Will the Chinese devalue again and if so, are they prepared to inflict that sort of FX damage to their corporations? Their markets are a sham and time will not prove to be kind to them, in my opinion.

Oil.

Anything less than $60 is an exercise in futility. The vast majority of these oil companies aren’t making it through 2017. Once the defaults come streaming through, you will behold a much different market than the one you are bearing witness to right now.

Earnings.

Ah, the E word. For the past 6 weeks, you’ve all been skipping throughout the streets like Alice in Wonderland. Now, you will begin to understand what it feels like to grow at just 0.4% for the quarter. Mark my words, it will not feel good.

Markets closed down almost 1% on the NASDAQ, in a do nothing sell off that instilled fear into no one. But a storm is coming.

Board the ark.
