VIDEORight now Chris Christie has been shooting his mouth off about how the current Republicans running against President Donald Trump in the presidential primary are afraid to attack him while implying that he has what it takes to go mano a mano against Trump. However, look at this scene from the 2016 presidential campaign when on the heels of Christie endorsing Trump, he is ordered to "GO HOME!" by his Lord and Master. Watch how Christie instantly obeys. As you can see even Chunk Yogurt, no fan of Trump, revels in the utter domination of Christie by his Lord and...

Hillary Clinton Started To Cough Violently In Cleveland, Ohio

About 38 percent of California Republicans support billionaire Donald Trump's bid for the U.S. presidency, but more than half say they are not satisfied with their choices of candidates, a new opinion poll shows. The poll released by the Public Policy Institute of California on Wednesday also shows that among Democrats who are likely primary voters, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leads U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont with 48 percent support compared with Sanders' 41 percent. The survey also showed that California Democrats are much more likely to be satisfied with their presidential choices than Republicans. Among Democratic...

Some American readers, observing the wide range of telly shows I've been doing in Australia, have written to ask why I'm not on US TV more. Well, the short answer is I never get asked. The phone never stops not ringing. I make no complaint about that: I'm a foreigner and I have no ambitions in American media. But Ann Coulter has a very funny column on some of the chaps who do get asked: If you tuned into ABC'S "This Week" the morning after Trump's tremendous victory in South Carolina, you'd find George Stephanopoulos promising analysis from a "powerhouse...

The State Department is lying when it says it didn’t know until it was too late that Hillary Clinton was improperly using personal emails and a private server to conduct official business — because it never set up an agency email address for her in the first place, the department’s former top watchdog says. “This was all planned in advance” to skirt rules governing federal records management, said Howard J. Krongard, who served as the agency’s inspector general from 2005 to 2008. The Harvard-educated lawyer points out that, from Day One, Clinton was never assigned and never used a state.gov...

This morning the Politico came out swinging at Ted Cruz with the headline “What Ted Cruz said behind closed doors” as if to suggest it would be different from what he says publicly: In June, Ted Cruz promised on NPR that opposition to gay marriage would be "front and center" in his 2016 campaign.In July, he said the Supreme Court's decision allowing same-sex marriage was the "very definition of tyranny" and urged states to ignore the ruling.But in December, behind closed doors at a big-dollar Manhattan fundraiser, the quickly ascending presidential candidate assured a Republican gay-rights supporter that a Cruz...

The Texas senator's campaign is beginning to see returns after months of methodically courting evangelical leaders.Ted Cruz increasingly looks like the man to beat in Iowa. He's rising in the polls, building on an already extensive field organization and locking down critical conservative endorsements.Among the biggest yet came Thursday, when Bob Vander Plaats, the head of the conservative group Family Leader, came out for Cruz, citing what he sees as electability in Iowa and nationally. "This is a guy that's been very consistent in principles, in communications, and his campaign has shown ability to slowly gain ground and build momentum,...

Trump won last month’s Breitbart Primary with 35.6% of the vote. Ted Cruz (R-TX) finished second in October’s Breitbart Primary with 22.8%. Carson finished in third with 15.7%.

President Obama will likely “channel surf” during the Democratic Presidential Debate tonight, White House officials suggested, as his former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, takes the stage to ward off her rivals. White House press secretary Josh Earnest informed reporters that since there was playoff baseball on tonight, it was likely that Obama would switch up his viewing material this evening.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told "Face the Nation" in an interview set to air in full on Sunday that he'd "be okay" with Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, as speaker of the House, despite the fact that Ryan "doesn't seem to want" the job. "Well, I think he's somebody that probably that could get good support," Trump said of Ryan, who has been pressured by GOP lawmakers to enter the leadership race since House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, abruptly removed himself from consideration Thursday. "I think he's a very nice person. I think he doesn't want it very badly,...

I had an amazing revelation today early AM. I went to sleep unusually early last night at around 8 P.M.. As often happens when I hit the sack early, I woke up in the middle of the night...like around 1 A.M.. Soooo...I did what I often do, I watched one of the many things recorded on my DVR until I got tired again and return to sleep. In this case, I watched the Coen Brothers comedy, "Burn After Reading," about the intelligence community. After watching the movie, I still wasn't quite tired enough to hit the sack again so I...

Carly Fiorina is the real Donald Trump. No, she's not a billionaire with bad hair, a loose tongue and an unbridled ego the size of Australia. But she's a non-politician who's never held office, but is unnerved by the decline of American power and wishes to see it reversed. But unlike Trump she may also be able to do something about it, as she a.) knows how to speak English; b.) is able to think and speak in a rational sequence; c.) has spent years learning how the world works and building relationships with the people who run it; and...

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's campaign for the Republican presidential nomination failed to catch fire not because of the dramatic rise of Donald Trump but due to the fact that Walker "never understood how to apply his record at the state level to the federal level," Dick Morris tells Newsmax TV. "What he needed to do was to talk about the insidious power of unions and [how they were] crippling education in this country and make education his big issue and use that to get women over the gender gap but he never did. He just ran as if this was...

Ted Cruz responses at the 1st GOP Debate I believe, more and more, that Ted Cruz should be our next President. Although I like a lot of what Trump is saying, and I like the way he is taking on the Media and the establishment (but Cruz does the same). My concern with Trump is his disposition. In essence, it's this: Even if Trump does some things I may believe in, I believe he would not hesitate to violate the constitution to do so. It does not matter what side of the political divide you are on...if you violate...

Republican presidential aspirant Bobby Jindal has sought steps by the United States to take the mantel of global leadership saying even non-aligned nations like India and Vietnam are desperate and hungry for American leadership. Trashing the foreign policy of the Obama Administration, Jindal, told the Fox News, “We would work not only with our allies, like Japan and South Korea and Taiwan. We'd work with non-aligned countries like India and Vietnam that are desperate and hungry for American leadership." Jindal, who last month announced his bid for the 2016 presidential elections, was responding to questions on addressing the challenges being...

OK, I was bored and came across this picture of Hillary boarding her Imperial Death Van, waving to us peons. So, I could not resist some Photoshop fun with the license plate: Here is the image with a BLANK plate, ready for other Freepers to go to town: Have at it and post 'em here for fun!
