Former President Trump knocked conservative pundit Megyn Kelly on Wednesday, calling her “nasty” just days after sitting with her for an extensive interview. “I sat down for an hour and then I did a Megyn Kelly one,” Trump told a crowd of supporters during a campaign event in Iowa on Wednesday, apparently referring to his previous interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “I, she was, ya know, boy she became nastier all of a sudden,” Trump said of Kelly. “She was pretty nasty, didn’t ya think, anyone that watched it.”

Conservative pundit and Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro blamed former President Donald Trump for Republicans losing momentum ahead of the midterms. …. In a Twitter thread on Tuesday, Shapiro blasted Republicans who put the focus on Trump despite his unpopularity with independents, who are a crucial electoral demographic. Shapiro said that the problem for Republicans is not just the Supreme Court overturning the landmark abortion decision Roe v. Wade. …..

More on-the-groud report of Huckabee's rapid fall from the grace... The man is clearly feeling the heat. Continuing his aggressive posture from yesterday, Huckabee spent nearly half his time responding to Mitt Rommey's escalating attacks, suggesting that they're taking a serious toll. "Over the last few days there have been some incredibly desperate and dishonest things said about me," Huckabee said. ... For what it's worth, by the way, a lot of reporters out here are surprisingly skeptical that Huckabee is going to win. Update: Huckabee followed his event with a press conference, and the questions were sharp. You can...

DES MOINES — Mike Huckabee used the volatile situation in Pakistan Friday to make an argument for building a fence on the American border with Mexico and found himself trying to explain a series of remarks about Pakistanis and their nation.

It never ceases to amaze me how a person who has decided to support a candidate all too often arrives at a point where FACTS are meaningless to them. Such is true with those who support this Romney character. There has been one example after another that proves that Mitt Romney isn't even a Republican much less a conservative and that he has repeatedly lied about his positions. Yet, well meaning Republicans still support this flip-flopping liar. Here is yet another article that shows that Mitt Romney is the single worse candidate the GOP field has today. David Lightman of...

as I stood in the Apple store last weekend and drooled over the beautiful, beautiful hardware, all I could think was how much work it would take to twiddle with the default settings, install third-party software, and hide all the commercial tie-ins so I could pretend I was in control of my own computer.

THE White House sought to distance itself today from the US administration's approval of an Arab company's takeover of operations at major US ports, a day after President George W. Bush vowed to veto any legislation to block the deal. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said the president was not aware of the pending deal until it was approved and had become public but then checked with cabinet secretaries to make sure they stood by their approval of the plan by state-controlled Dubai Ports World to manage six ports. Mr Bush held a rare news conference on Air Force One...

Conspiracy theorists will readily tell you that the U.S. military is hiding alien corpses in a secret facility in the Nevada desert. But paleontologist and University of Washington geology professor Peter Ward thinks that scientists should be looking for a different type of alien life on earth: alien microbes. Ward is the author of several popular books about astrobiology, including the controversial Rare Earth, co-authored with Donald Brownlee. In his latest book, Life as We Do Not Know It, Ward addresses an issue often avoided by astrobiologists. Although all known life on Earth has a similar DNA-based chemistry, life found...

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has put in for a Purple Heart - and she received the decoration yesterday. The former first lady garnered the award without being wounded in combat - or sustaining any kind of injury at all - as is usually the case with Purple Heart recipients. Neither has Clinton ever served in the military, though she once claimed in a TV interview she tried to join the Marines. Instead, Mrs. Clinton received a symbolic award from the Military Order of the Purple Heart "in recognition of her inspirational leadership and dedicated service to America’s military service...

FORMER US secretary of state Colin Powell claims he is "furious and angry" about being misinformed over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction and has criticised George W.Bush and Donald Rumsfeld for their clumsy rhetoric in the lead-up to the war. In a candid magazine interview, Mr Powell hinted that his infamous testimony to the UN Security Council in February 2003, when he built the case for the coalition invasion of Iraq, left him a political lame duck. "Hundreds of millions followed it on television," Mr Powell said of his testimony. "I will always be the one who presented it. "I...

White House Trying to Explain Rice Policy Saturday March 27, 2004 3:31 PM By TERENCE HUNT AP White House Correspondent WASHINGTON (AP) - Condoleezza Rice says the Bush administration has a good story to tell about fighting terrorism and she's pouring it out in television appearances, interviews and newspaper articles. The one place she won't talk is in public, under oath, before the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. That is blossoming into a public relations nightmare. The White House finds itself in the awkward position of trying to explain why Rice, the national security adviser to...
