Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) was officially announced as Hillary Clinton’s running mate in Miami this afternoon as she introduced him as a “progressive who likes to get things done.” “Hey, guys. Thank you!” he said as he took the podium, before immediately launching into a message in Spanish. Kaine repeatedly referred to his missionary work in Honduras, where he learned to speak fluent Spanish. (snip) “In our administration in the first 100 days we’ll put forward a comprehensive immigration reform package that includes a path to citizenship,” he shouted.

Hoping to draw a contrast with U.S. Sen Marco Rubio on the depth of each man’s support for Donald Trump and generate some media attention for his underdog campaign, GOP Senate candidate Carlos Beruff arrived at the Republican National Convention Tuesday and immediately hit the floor to watch Florida’s delegation award it’s 99 delegates to Trump.IMG_8456 “I’m here to back up Donald Trump all the way to the White House, unlike Mr. Rubio, whose afraid to take a stance,” Beruff, a Manatee County homebuilder, said during a brief interview on the convention floor.

Dr. Kelli Ward, the candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona running against Sen. John McCain, told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon that McCain is not at the GOP Convention in Cleveland to hear many so called “little people” speak because he’s more interested in “maintaining his power, maintaining the status quo in Washington, D.C., and making sure that the establishment strongholds that are in our Beltway remain strong.”

"The policies and strategies of (Hillary) Clinton and (incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly) Ayotte have not worked," Rubens said. "They've spread terrorism. What we need is to respect veterans, soldiers, obey the Constitution and then make a case for war if needed, and that includes drone war."

Pros complain about the screw-ups at the GOP convention — they didn’t distribute advance copies of embargoed speeches! The app sucked! The whole affair does have a slightly thin, network-variety-special quality. It makes you think about what’s been left out — and then you realize why it might turn out to be a success after all. There are no Bushes! No McCain. No Romneys. Do you miss them?

Ohio Gov. and former Republican presidential candidate John Kasich (R-Ohio) told an audience in Cleveland that he looks at immigration as an opportunity because Ohio has a “stagnant growth of population — we want people to come to Ohio.” “When I look at immigration I look at a new level of energy,” Kasich told an International Republican Institute gathering on Tuesday. […] “I look at immigration as an opportunity. One of the things that we face in Ohio is a stagnant growth of population — we want people to come to Ohio. We want to integrate these folks and we...

The Obama Administration is looking for a second bite at the apple, asking that the Supreme Court rehear a challenge to President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty programs. In a petition to the court, Acting Solicitor General Ian Gershengorn requested that the justices rehear the case once the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia is filled and the court stands at nine members. “Ordinarily, it is exceedingly rare for this Court to grant rehearing. But when this Court has conducted plenary review and then affirmed by vote of an equally divided court because of a vacancy rather than a disqualification,...

Ted Cruz is expected to use his speech Wednesday night in Cleveland to tee up a future presidential bid.. Mr. Cruz blamed his defeat principally on the media, which “liked to paint me as some whacked-out theocrat” and putatively gave Donald Trump $3 billion in free publicity... Fact check: Mr. Cruz won the Wisconsin primary in early April with the help of the so-called establishment that he loves to hate... in the preceding primaries, Mr. Cruz had gone one for 10.. After winning Wisconsin, Mr. Cruz went on a six-state losing streak in the Northeast...

New York State will pick up the application fee for 2,000 low-income immigrants seeking to become U.S. citizens, Gov. Cuomo announced Thursday. The lucky applicants will be chosen by a lottery system set up by the NaturalizeNY program, with help from the Daily News and multiple civic groups and charities. “What the governor’s office is proposing here is fantastic,” said News Editor-in-Chief Jim Rich. “The Daily News is proud to be a part of this important program. So many hardworking people deserve this opportunity and we are thrilled to be a part of making it the dream a reality.” The...

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry suggested Monday that the physical wall Donald Trump wants to build along the U.S.-Mexico border is an idea that will never become a reality. "I'm for Donald Trump, and he says we're going to build a wall, the Mexicans are gonna pay for it," Perry, a Trump backer, told Snapchat's Peter Hamby on "Good Luck America." Hamby responded, "It's not going to happen." "Well, it's not," Perry replied, suggesting that there might be other ways to keep out immigrants besides an actual wall.

President Hillary and her liberal activist courts will ensure Democrat rule over America for generations by awarding amnesty and citizenship to tens of millions of illegal aliens, er, undocumented citizens, and they'll throw open our borders to flood the country with tens of millions more. And they'll set up government programs to help them sign-up for welfare, food stamps, free housing, free phones, free healthcare and even help them register to vote as democrats. Republicans will be wandering in the wilderness for the next 40 years and more. Don't let it happen. Vote Trump!

It’s a tough position to be in if you’re the former Florida Governor staring down the barrel of a gun in the 2016 general election. After all, you’re the only member of your family to seek the Presidency with disastrous results and the “chaos candidate” who beat you handedly has basically been your sworn enemy for the last year. So when Jeb Bush was pressed by former GOP strategist Nicolle Wallace about who he would be voting, he doubled down on assertions he has previously alluded to: neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump would earn his vote.

As expected, a settlement agreement was entered into this week with in-laws of Sen. Jeff Flake's son. Jesse Todd Jesse Todd Hughes and Maleisa Maurine Hughes, owners of the Green Acres Boarding facility in Mesa for the death of 23 dogs left in their care.

A tense moment during a mostly positive meeting w/ Capitol Hill Republicans: When Flake stood up and introduced himself, Trump told him, “You’ve been very critical of me.” “Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona — the one who didn’t get captured — and I want to talk to you about statements like that”. … Trump predicted that Flake would lose his reelection, at which point Flake informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year. (SNIP) Tanner Flake, aka “n@#$erkiller”, used Twitter to threaten the “f*****” who stole his bike… (SNIP) Mariposa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio confirmed...

WHEN the history of President Obama’s legacy on immigration is written, he will not go down as the president who boldly acted to protect millions of families from the brutality of our nation’s unforgiving immigration laws. The Supreme Court made sure of that last month, when it deadlocked on the legality of his program to defer the deportation of parents of American citizens and residents. Instead, he will be judged on what he actually did: deport more immigrants than any other president in American history, earning him the moniker “deporter in chief.” However, President Obama can still act to bring...

Theresa May has won the first round of the contest to become the next Tory leader and PM and she says she is the only candidate left who can unite the party. The home secretary got 165 of 329 votes cast by Tory MP's. Andrea Leadsom came second with 66 and Michael Gove got 48....... Following the result, Mr. Gove, the justice secretary and a leading Leave campaigner, insisted he would stay in the race, saying the winner should be someone who backed Brexit. Mrs. Leadsom, an energy minister, was also a key figure in the campaign to leave the...

The following piece was written by staff writer Suzanne Eovaldi and posted on the Coach is Right website on July 4th, 2014. Though hardly a story which celebrates the birth of our nation, it does reveal the contempt in which the United States and its citizens have been held by the most corrupt administration in our country’s history. In five months, voters will have their opportunity to reverse the politically motivated destruction of our nation by treasonous agents of the radical, America-hating left. We dare not fail to remove from power the vermin who are working to advance the agenda...
