America doesn’t like Megyn Kelly – and nowhere was that more apparent than during the premiere of her Fox Special starring Donald Trump. She only managed to gather 4.7 Million viewers and finished last for the 8:00pm time slot. Devastating. However, her ratings failure wasn’t a backlash against Trump, who garners high ratings wherever he goes. Well, as long as Megyn “Ratings Killer” Kelly isn’t around. Quite the contrary, this was a loud and clear “We don’t like you” message to the self-centered and bias Kelly who has fallen from Fox grace in the most epic fashion. It’s a nose-dive,...

Newt Gingrich endorses Trump!!!!

The economic devastation is very real in West Virginia. Obama promised to shut down the coal industry as one of his bold campaign promises in 2008. Hillary’s plan is to keep the dream of shutting down the coal industry alive long after Obama is out of office. Coal miners are taking and stand and letting America know they are not going to sit back and watch their livelihoods and towns destroyed by a radical leftist President. Watch here:

During a commencement speech, the speaker mentioned Hillary Clinton becoming president. Check out the response he got.

What was John Boehner thinking when describing Ted Cruz as “Lucifer in the flesh” last week? Whatever Boehner intended, those remarks didn’t just come as an extemporaneous word-association game. Reader Jason J reminded us yesterday that Boehner made the same comment about Cruz several weeks ago, during a Q&A session in Boca Raton with the Future Industry Association: During the same question-and-answer session in Florida, Mr. Boehner referred to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, another Republican presidential candidate, as “Lucifer.” Mr. Boehner has previously called the senator, who led a failed Republican effort to shut down the government over the...

Bad Newz For Cruz A series of brand new trend polls highlight an ongoing discussion/trend. With increased visibility Senator Ted Cruz support decreases. It would be inaccurate to say Cruz is collapsing, if it were not for multiple polls indicating the same trend line. However, when you have three completely disparate polls, indicating an almost identical retraction, you cannot dismiss the reality. Fox News and IPSOS Rueters both identify the issue on a national scale, and within the CBS polling of Pennsylvania voters you find the specifics as to why. First, the Fox Trend Poll showing Donald Trump extending his...

Ted Cruz told a CNBC reporter that he doesn't care where his campaign money comes from. politico.com reports: Appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Friday, Cruz again referred to the Dodd-Frank Act as benefiting large banks at the expense of the "little guy," or smaller community banks. Co-anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin then pressed the candidate about his "rivals" criticizing him for soliciting donations from the same people whose industry has spoken out on the campaign trail. “Look, we’ll take money from anyone. In fact, Andrew, I would love a check right now. It’s $2,700, or you could go to TedCruz.org," Cruz...

Colorado delegates should be excluded from the RNC. Agreed?

Donald Trump Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski spoke out publicly for the first time Thursday night since the alleged incident with Michelle Fields. On Thursday a Florida State’s Attorney dropped bogus charges against Trump’s Campaign Manager. corey lewandowski Tonight Corey told Sean Hannity he does not even remember the incident with Michelle Fields. He has never met her and was surprised when he was accused of assault when he read about it the next day. Corey Lewandowski: This was a huge distraction for the campaign and it shouldn’t have been. If Michelle Fields wanted to have a conversation we could have...

[So here is an idea that we could build on in America, to counter the lefties who are working to make the future a dark time indeed! Not sure how free market these Aussies are but their hearts are in the right place.]Happy Future Day! By Edward Hudgins March 1, 2016 – Stand up for optimism about the future today! Transhumanism Australia, a non-profit that promotes education in science and technology, has marked March 1 as “Future Day.” It wants this day celebrated worldwide as a time “to consider the future of humanity.” If all of us made a habit...

Soon after Hillary Clinton became secretary of State, The Atlantic’s then politics editor Marc Ambinder was fishing around for an early look at a speech she was going to give to the Council on Foreign Relations. Clinton’s spokesman, Philippe Reines, said fine, but added three conditions.

Mr. Glenn Beck will continue to circle the drain of irrelevance, make very consequential enemies, and promote an air of intense polarization for his candidate Senator Ted Cruz.

Hillary Clinton held a rally today in Henderson, Nevada. Only a couple hundred turned out to hear the former Secretary of State.

[video at link] "I think that Donald Trump or any candidate on the other side of the aisle would raise Bill Clinton as somehow a negative, to their peril. I think every poll I've ever seen shows that if President Clinton were a candidate tomorrow he'd be reelected. He presided at that time over the longest period of sustained prosperity up to that point. Finished his term very popular and continues to be one of the most admired elected officials, and former elected officials, and men in the world."

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) blamed Friday’s shooting in Colorado Springs, CO that killed three people on “inflammatory rhetoric” from bloggers and talk shows.

KEILAR: "I do want to ask you a final question here. Planned Parenthood, almost immediately, even before we exactly knew the facts or anything about the motivation here. We now know that the shooter referenced 'baby parts' when he was arrested. Planned Parenthood is calling this domestic terrorism. Do you agree with that assessment?" HICKENLOOPER: "Certainly it's a form of terrorism, and maybe in some way it's a function of the inflammatory rhetoric we see on all - so many issues now, there are bloggers and talk shows where they really focus on trying to get people to that point...

Results from a straw poll of libertarian Republicans highlight the senator’s shrewdness. Even before the 2016 presidential election cycle began, most observers expected the race for the Republican nomination to be a war of attrition—especially compared to the Democratic primary, where Hillary Clinton was expected to enter the race as a nearly prohibitive frontrunner. And so back in March, when Ted Cruz announced his campaign for president, it was easy to infer that Texas’s junior senator would be planning for a long campaign that would leave him as the last candidate standing at the end of the GOP nomination fight....

The presidency, it’s often said, is a job for which everyone arrives unprepared. But just how unprepared is unprepared enough? Political handicappers weigh presidential candidates’ partisanship, ideology, money, endorsements, consultants, and, of course, experience. Yet they too rarely consider an element of growing importance to voters: freshness. Increasingly, American voters view being qualified for the presidency as a disqualification. In 2003, I announced in National Journal the 14-Year Rule. The rule was actually discovered by a presidential speechwriter named John McConnell, but because his job required him to keep his name out of print, I graciously stepped up to take...

"Doesn't it sound logical? Doesn't it sound safe?" Based on his latest column, it seems like Washington Post editor Fred Hiatt could get behind a rewrite of John Lennon's Imagine and release an updated version to reflect today's call for gun control. [Imagine] Prohibition… [Imagine] Mass buyback… [Imagine] A gun-free society... He liked that last line so much, he asked his readers to repeat it with him: "Let's say that once again: A gun-free society." Bliss, he thinks. Those words -- prohibition, mass buyback, gun-free society -- are what Hiatt says the NRA has rendered "unmentionable." And so he believes...

By Edward Klein . September 26, 2015 | 8:43pm In his new book, “Unlikeable,” journalist Edward Klein unveils the lengths Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign will go to avoid the mistakes of the 2008 race — when Obama famously said, “You’re likeable enough, Hillary.” In an exclusive excerpt to The Post, Klein reveals how Bill Clinton reached out to a famous friend for help. Hillary was taking lessons on how to be more likeable. She was doing it for Bill, not for herself. It was all his idea. One evening while they were having drinks with friends, he turned to Hillary...
