On last night’s show Mark Levin was explaining how the Republican establishment has always gone after non-establishment candidates, pointing out how they tried to brutalize Reagan just as they’ve tried to brutalize Cruz and now Trump. And the latest is that Bill Kristol is now trashing Trump, saying that he’d rather support a third party candidate than Trump as the nominee. So deep into his monologue on the topic, Levin mused that the CNN debate hosts should ask more nuanced version of the Republican nominee question Bret Baier asked in the Fox News debate, and they should ask it of...

The Republican Party is facing a crisis. It has a candidate who is likely to win the nomination and could very well win the Presidential election. Yet they are doing their very best to see a repeat of the past two presidential cycles – nominating uninspiring candidates who have no chance of winning. The RNC would rather have a Democratic president, rather than support a reformer who would change the corrupt political structure of Washington. And they ignore the will of the people who are desperate to see that change happen.... Donald Trump has caught the imagination of not only...

Always listen to your mother. She's usually right. That's what Jeb Bush should have done when Barbara Bush, his mother, told him to forget about it. Barbara Bush, the wife of one president (George H.W. Bush) and the mother of another (George W. Bush) told Jeb Bush, her second son, that he ought not run for president. He should have listened. The Bush matriarch, 88, made the comment at the opening of the George W. Bush presidential library in Dallas in 2013, a time when Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, was looking pretty good in the presidential public...

Mika Brzezinski: fired up and ready to go . . . for Donald Trump? Not exactly. It isn't that Mika's jumping on the Make America Great Again express. It's just that she wants "intellectual honesty" from her peers when it comes to admitting that Trump has gone from amusing sideshow who's sure to eventually crash to true frontrunner who is now likely to be the Republican nominee. You might not think of Brzezinski as being particularly data-driven, but on today's Morning Joe she repeatedly argued that there is no data supporting a Trump meltdown scenario. Going around the table with...

This Syrian girl eloquently breaks down the origin or the crisis and she even speaks on the young baby found on the beach. I guess the reason why I believe her is because I don't trust our media. The things she describes in her video shows she's done a lot of research and it's extensive. I applaud her getting the truth out! If believed, these specific details and some of these accusations are shocking! It's being used to bomb the country the refugees are running fromThe war was started by the US, and those now crying about the refugees in...

Donald Trump is at it again. He recently criticized Carly Fiorina — who’s rising in the polls in Iowa — because of her looks. He wondered out loud — when surrounded by yes-men — how anyone could ever vote for her. “Just look at that face,” he said, adding that she’s a woman and he’s not supposed to talk about it, but “come on.” He later pretended he was talking about her “demeanor,” but no sane person accepts that explanation. No, Donald, you were criticizing yet another woman because you think she’s ugly. That’s all there is to it. And...

Guns are inanimate objects that kill people, and this one has a mustache. Meet Roger Goodman, a gun lobbyist with an opinion, just not an informed one. But when did that matter? It doesn't. Let's move on. In this informative infomercial, Roger Goodman explains the multitude of reasons why guns should never be allowed ever. Not in your homes. Not with your wives. And especially not with your children. Watch as Goodman exposes the issues of "Rogue guns" running rampant across this country. #BetterCallGoodman

After undercutting John McCain's war hero status and brushing his own Vietnam deferments under the rug, Donald Trump has once again mythologized his own time in the military in hopes of bolstering his presidential campaign. The funniest part: someone out there buys it. According to a new report from ​The New York Times, Trump recently told biographer Michael D'Antonio that he "always felt that I was in the military" because of his education at a military-themed boarding school. As the ​Times ​writes: According to the book, Mr. Trump attended the New York Military Academy after years of rowdy and rebellious...

can conservatives prevent Trumpism from eclipsing and dismantling the Reagan coalition? This is going to be a very important question going forward. Democrats are experiencing turmoil in their own primary at the moment — as we have been predicting here, Bernie Sanders is catching fire and Hillary Clinton is drowning in her own sins. The Republicans’ nominee could well be the next president. Will they nominate a movement conservative, or will they nominate Trump?

  Please watch this: https://youtu.be/zPIMQo4rqyQAs part of Obama's surrender to Iran Qassem Suleimani has been granted amnesty. Suleimani is the commander of the Iranian elite Quds forces. The full text of Obama's surrender can be seen here. Suleimani appears on page 86. IED's have taken a horrible toll on the US military: About 6,572 U.S. troops have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 2,483 of those deaths are IED related, according to the Washington Post. IEDs are the top killer of U.S. troops. Thousands more have been wounded by them. IEDs are a weapon that have torn limbs and lives...

Who would have thought that the sinking of the Italian super luxury liner Andrea Doria outside New York Harbor 59 years ago would still be a Page 1 newspaper story? But it is, or was, when the Boston Sunday Globe ran a long story Aug. 9 about Tom Pritchard, 64, a seasoned scuba diver, who went missing July 21 searching for the wreck, making him at least the 15th diver to die at the site.

According to recent polls, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has become Donald Trump’s main challenger in Iowa. The two are now tied with 23%. It goes without saying that both Trump and Carson need to win in Iowa if they want to stay in the race; they have no alternative path to the nomination. This is especially true because, from the looks of it, Ted Cruz is going to sweep the entire south. It could very well be that, after a weeks into the primaries, the only people standing are Cruz, an establishment candidate (Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio) and the...

<p>The United States is bleeding to death under the Obama Administration and it is time for a full transfusion to rid our country of the cancer that is slowly but surely destroying our way of life.</p> <p>As we watch in horror at the brutal murders committed by ISIS of innocent men, women and children, our commander and chief and democratic presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton, are claiming Republicans are the real terrorists. As we watch in horror as Planned Parenthood sells baby parts for cash to the highest bidder without parental permission, our so-called leaders accuse Republicans of advancing the “war on women,” while they continue paying their female workers less than their male counterparts, and Obama has offered up an additional $1 million in taxpayer grants to over one hundred Planned Parenthood chapters.</p>

In working through some of the 7,000 Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department yesterday, I came across one curious one sent from aide Huma Abedin to the then-Secretary of State regarding a Koran-burning in the U.S.Here is another intriguing email: https://twitter.com/bhweingarten/status/638734489531871234 It is noteworthy that this message on a sensitive subject — presumably about a meeting between then-Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) and Sec. of State Clinton on weapons collections in Libya — would be left unredacted, while many other emails in the Clinton trove are redacted in toto. This may be because news reports around the September 10, 2011 email date indicate...

It seemed like a good idea at the time -- Hillary Clinton's decision to leave the U.S. Senate in 2009 and accept President Obama's offer to become secretary of state. The new president, basking in his historic victory, showed magnanimity in appointing a presidential rival to his Cabinet, the way Abraham Lincoln did in 1860 when he named three rivals to his Cabinet. It was said that Team of Rivals, Doris Kearns Goodwin's 2005 prize winning book about Lincoln's Cabinet, was high on Obama's reading list. And Obama did not mind being compared to Lincoln, at least in his own...

[MUST WATCH VIDEO] Businesswoman turned politician Carly Fiorina is angry with CNN. The reason? The network is likely to leave her out of its prime time debate because she’s supposedly not polling in the top 10. The only problem with that? She clearly is. As Howie Kurtz explained on Fox News, CNN, however, is using older polls — from before the first Fox News debate — to assemble its “top 10″ of candidates. It’s clear that this is extremely bad for Fiorina, since she barely had name recognition before that debate. After it, however, she quickly surged in the polls...

But given the comparison of Hamas to the Nazis, one wonders what ESPN would say. In the case of current ESPN anchor and former pitching great Curt Schilling, he might have had a more compelling case than this Palestinian author, and his comment was far less pointed. The image Schilling tweeted, deleted and paid for -- with ESPN canceling his telecast assignment for the Little League World Series -- made the comparison of Islamic supremacists to Nazis. [caption id="attachment_836" align="aligncenter" width="694"] (Image Source: Twitter)[/caption] This seems to be closer to the mark than the argument made by the Palestinian writer (who could have chosen from...

I've always liked Ted Cruz, he is the Republican who I agree with most on the issues.  He's free market, pro-life and for a measured foreign policy (less aggressive than Marco Rubio but more aggressive than Rand Paul).  Most importantly, he would stick to his ideals despite pressure from the establishment.  He may have made some tactical errors because of that but I couldn't help but admire him for his idealism.  He has been the candidate that I would have voted for if I didn't care at all about electability.  Unfortunately, his interview last night with Megyn Kelly unmasked him...
