Ann Coulter took to Twitter on Friday night to respond to the Paris terror attacks, saying that “Donald Trump was elected president tonight.” The conservative commentator tweeted a series of reactions to the attacks that left more than 120 dead, calling for “no more Muslim immigration.” She also targeted recent U.S. college student protests, as well as American gun and immigration laws and proposals. Coulter ended her string of Tweets with: “They can wait if they like until next November for the actual balloting, but Donald Trump was elected president tonight.”

The 2016 Republican nominating contest will eventually boil down to a two-man race between a pair of Senate freshmen: Marco Rubio of Florida and Ted Cruz of Texas. That’s the increasingly popular theory being advanced by a growing number of political prognosticators in recent weeks as both candidates trend upward in national polling. To wit, here’s Matt Lewis during Tuesday night’s presidential debate: Tonight was a step toward the Cruz vs Rubio final act a lot of us are anxious to see.— Matt Lewis (@mattklewis) November 11, 2015 It’s not hard to see the appeal of such a denouement....

Hillary Clinton has a word for Donald Trump's plan to deport 11 million people from the country: No. The Democratic presidential candidate blasted Trump's call for a "deportation force" on Wednesday, calling it "absurd." "The idea of tracking down and deporting 11 million people is absurd, inhumane, and un-American. No, Trump. -H" Clinton tweeted, quoting a New York Times reporter's tweet on Trump's comments made earlier in the morning on MSNBC.

President Obama on Thursday denounced Donald J. Trump's campaign promise to deploy a "deportation force" to round up millions of immigrants in the country illegally and send them home, calling it unrealistic and un-American. "The notion that we're going to deport 11, 12 million people from this country - first of all, I have no idea where Mr. Trump thinks the money's going to come from," Mr. Obama said in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News. "It would cost us hundreds of billions of dollars to execute that." "Imagine the images on the screen flashed around the world...

When it comes to the topic of immigration, you may not be surprised to find that a new poll discovered that Republicans trust Donald Trump more than any other candidate on the issue. A new YouGov poll found that Trump was far and away the most trusted candidate concerning immigration among the still large field of GOP candidates for president. About half of of those polled, 49 percent, said that Trump had the right ideas on immigration. These findings are significant considering months of attacks by the mainstream media trying to tear Trump down over the immigration issue. His ratings...

A new poll of 2,000 citizens shows that Donald Trump's immigration stance has more support among Hispanic Americans than Gov. Mitt Romney won in 2012, even after the pollsters reminded respondents of Trump's most controversial statements on immigration. Twenty-eight percent of Hispanic Americans agreed with Trump's June statement that "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists." In 2012, Romney won 27 percent of the Hispanic-American vote. Twelve percent of Hispanic-Americans said they were not sure what to say about Trump's comment,...

Donald Trump is still the leader in a Newsmax poll taken after Tuesday's Republican presidential debate in Milwaukee, with half of respondents saying he fared best. Here are the results: Donald Trump: 51 percent Ted Cruz: 19 percent Marco Rubio: 13 percent Ben Carson: 7 percent Carly Fiorina: 3 percent Rand Paul: 3 percent John Kasich: 1 percent Jeb Bush: 0 percent

If the open borders lobby had wanted to funnel support to Donald Trump, it couldn't have done better than its latest stunts: A video of raging, foul-mouthed anchor babies and an illegal-alien "bill of rights." In less than a week, immigration advocates have managed to decisively if inadvertently make a case against illegal immigration just by showing the public what it's all about. In a Youtube video calculated to offend, put on by a political action committee called Deportracism.com, a couple of Latino nine-year old "anchor babies" made a gangsta-style rap directed against Donald Trump.

Friday, November 06, 2015 Latino anchor babies spew vulgarities at Trump in offensive video ad WARNING: Vulgarities throughout ad - unfiltered The pro-immigrant group "Deport Racism" is behind a vulgar new video with children calling Trump a "racist d#ick" "mother f###er" and Trump supporters "racist suckers." When asked his thoughts about this video Cuban-rooted presidential candidate Marco Rubio said the video was "Disgusting," and asked "What kind of parents allows their kids to do this?" Fox News' Geraldo Rivera, an immigration advocate, said the video border along the line of child abuse.

In Tuesday’s elections, voters rejected recreational marijuana, transgender rights, and illegal-immigrant sanctuaries; they reacted equivocally to gun-control arguments; and they handed a surprise victory to a Republican gubernatorial candidate who emphasized his opposition to gay marriage. Democrats have become increasingly assertive in taking liberal social positions in recent years, believing that they enjoy majority support and even seeking to turn abortion and gay rights into electoral wedges against Republicans. But Tuesday’s results—and the broader trend of recent elections that have been generally disastrous for Democrats not named Barack Obama—call that view into question. Indeed, they suggest that the left has...

Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush fielded some of the toughest questions of his campaign this morning in New Hampshire - posed by a field of children. "What are you going to do about anchor babies?" a Founders Academy charter school student who appeared to be about 11 asked the former Florida governor, who is in the Granite State for a three-day campaign swing. "Anchor babies. Wow, why are you interested in that? I'm curious" Bush said, appearing genuinely surprised by the inquiry. "I believe the babies are attaching illegal immigrants to America, and I was just wondering how are we...

If you’re Social Justice Warrior, you’re a liar. You actively spread absurd falsehoods about the nature of men, women, sex, and culture that can’t withstand even the slightest scrutiny. You change history and conceal facts to fit preferred narratives, even when it costs human lives. You claim the best of intentions yet achieve the worst of outcomes. And through it all, you hate the very nation and political system that have granted you the liberties you so grotesquely abuse...SNIP...If you disagree — if you think that political correctness is gaining momentum — then consider a few facts. First, the top...

I took it for granted that a leftist like Bernie Sanders would be opposed to the death penalty. Still, I was truly shocked to see Sanders—not in some throwaway comment on the campaign trail but in prepared remarks on the Senate floor—flatly call the death penalty "murder." On his MSNBC show this morning, Al Sharpton played the Sanders clip to illustrate how Sanders is working to differentiate his policy positions from those of Hillary Clinton, who says she supports the death penalty in "rare" cases. Question: how can we begin to explain the moral compass of liberals like Sanders who...

HONG KONG — One Chinese technology company receives crucial technical guidance from a former People’s Liberation Army rear admiral. Another company developed the electronics on China’s first atomic bomb. A third sells technology to China’s air-to-air missile research academy. Their ties to the Chinese military run deep, and they all have something else in common: Each Chinese company counts one of America’s tech giants — IBM, Cisco Systems or Microsoft — as a partner. Such links, which are generally not well publicized, are now at the center of a debate among some in the American defense community, including former United...

"Senator Rubio works for the lobbyists, not for Americans,” Donald Trump said in a post-debate print interview. "That is why he is receiving more money than anybody from Silicon Valley." After a confusing answer on H-1B visas (for so-called "high-skilled" workers), in which he claimed he had not been critical in the past of pro-amnesty Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Trump moved to clarify his position in comments published on the website Breitbart.com. Regarding the familiar claims that the technology industry has a dearth of exceptional talent, Trump shot back: "We are graduating two times more students in science, technology, engineering,...

'Nondiscrimination' rule means some Christian nonprofits. It’s not easy for many Christian ministries to provide desperately needed services and outreaches to their communities and still manage to pay the bills every month. Many faith-based charities are busy helping the poor, orphans, homeless, hungry and drug-addicted individuals and supporting outreach missions abroad. That’s why it’s a blessing when Microsoft offers donated products such as Windows 10, Office 365 Nonprofit and other training and resources to nonprofit charity organizations as part of its Microsoft Corporate Citizenship Charity Sales program, which donates $2 million in software every day to charities. But, according to...

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/oct/21/surge-illegal-children-families-accelerates/ Border Patrol officials in Washington blamed violence and poor economic conditions in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras for pushing illegal immigrants to flee their homes and head north, but agents on the ground said the problem is lax U.S. enforcement, which entices migrants to make the dangerous journey, assured that they will be allowed in the U.S. rather than turned away at the border. “We’re talking about the rule of law in other countries; we’re not enforcing the rule of law in this country,” Chris Cabrera, an official with the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union for line...
