Reenactment: to repeat the actions of an earlier event or incident ---Merriam-Webster Dictionary. If looks could kill, Thomas Dewey might have been dead before he could have been nominated for president in 1948. At least according to a supposed reenactment on last night's episode of Race for the White House about the 1948 Truman vs Dewey presidential race.The reenactment portrayed Senator Robert Taft walking by Dewey and giving him a death stare before he continued on. You can see Taft's deadly glare at the 11:00 mark of the video below. The problem is for there to be an accurate reenactment there...

The 2016 presidential election has everyone on edge. CNN host Don Lemon was a little testy Friday night, cutting the mic to a guest barely one minute into a segment. Lemon asked guest Omarosa Manigault to respond to the “over the top” Twitter war between Republican front-runner Donald Trump and rival Ted Cruz, and when the former “Apprentice” contestant and Trump supporter tried to redirect her answer, he lost it. “I’m not gonna let you do that,” Lemon interjected. “Omarosa, stop!” And when she continued talking, he called for her mic to be cut.

Members of Sunday morning’s panel on CNN State of the Union are oblivious to the barbaric, anti-Western practice facing hundreds of thousands of U.S. girls as a result of unbridled Muslim migration. When the CNN panel sought to criticize Donald Trump for his so-called sexist retweet that has monopolized the news cycle for several days, Trump’s senior policy advisor Stephen Miller punched back, slamming Washington’s political class and corporate media for expressing “feigned indignation” about a retweet while ignoring serious issues facing U.S. women. “The political class in Washington D.C. works itself up into a feigned indignation about things that...

CNN host Don Lemon got testy with former “Apprentice” contestant and Donald Trump supporter Omarosa Manigault Friday night when she didn’t answer his question about the Twitter war between Trump and Ted Cruz about their wives. “Well, I don’t think we should start there. We should start with the fact that a super PAC that supports Cruz, started to attack Donald Trump’s wife…” the former Apprentice star began to say on CNN.

Trump 'fine' with waterboarding In an another interview, Trump also said he would be "fine" with waterboarding Salah Abdeslam, one of the leaders of the Paris attacks several months ago who was just captured in Brussels, in order to get more information on potential future attacks. "Well I'm not looking to break any news on your show, but frankly the waterboarding, if it was up to me, and if we changed the laws or have the laws, waterboarding would be fine," the Republican front-runner said on NBC's "Today" show. "I would say they should be able to do whatever they...

Conservative Review has reached a new low for conservative publications by advocating a BLACKLIST to destroy those with a different opinion -- those who support Trump. Mark Levin is the editor-in-chief of Conservative Review. His response has simply been that he is not the columnist in question (Amanda Carpenter) so he is not responsible for the articles content. This is not good enough Mark Levin! As editor-in-chief you approved the publication of an enemies list to destroy those with a different opinion. Personal destruction is a tactic of the totalitarian left that shocks the conscience of those who value freedom...

What was the most significant political campaign commercial ever? Many of you might answer the "Daisy" ad produced by the Lyndon Johnson campaign in 1964. Well, that might be the most memorable campaign commercial but it did not change the outcome of that election. With that ad or without it, Barry Goldwater was destined to lose in a landslide. The one political commercial that most likely changed the outcome of a presidential race was the Swiftboat ad in 2004 during the race between George W. Bush and John Kerry. If you don't believe me, then ask John Kerry. But here...

Anti-Donald Trump protesters tore down Secret Service security checkpoints in an effort to storm the doors of the Infinity Event Center while Trump was speaking, only to be repelled by police, CNN reported.

CNN will interview the five remaining presidential candidates on the eve of "Western Tuesday," the day voters from three Western states will head to the ballot box to cast their vote in the 2016 primary election. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump -- will be interviewed in the CNN Election Center in Washington, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders will be interviewed remotely from the campaign trail...

It's that strange time again in American politics when politicians endorse candidates they have repeatedly said they can't stand. For months, South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has been warning the nation about Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. But on Thursday, Graham told CNN that not only is he supporting Cruz, he's fundraising for him. Graham pointed to Donald Trump's rise as the reason, explaining that Cruz might be the only one to stop him. "I think he's the best alternative to beat Donald Trump," Graham told CNN. "I'm going to help Ted in any way I can." It's a strange...

Sen. Lindsey Graham will soon raise money for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign, as CNN's Dana Bash just reported. Which is an amazing turn of events, given the things Graham previously said about Cruz. He has said on multiple occasions that Cruz is would be the death of the Republican Party and is no better than Donald Trump. He has even joked about killing Cruz. To wit (in reverse chronological order): Feb. 26: “I was asked the hardest question in my political life: Do you agree with Donald Trump that Ted Cruz is the biggest liar in politics?” he said. “Too...

The conspirator Dan Rather on CNN

ZERO minus for all three cable news networks, FNC, CNN & MSNBC last evening for their unacceptable delivery of the news and real impact of the election results received last evening. If I had my way......I would immediately fire at least 90% of these buffoons that act like they know something....they actually know and understand nothing. Without a long winded discourse....allow me to give you folks, the absolute worst and best, and, the rest all fall in between. Worst Ever: Chris Matthews, MSNBC.....Best Ever: John King, CNN!!! FNC: not worth rating (horrible)!!! These folks have nary a clue as to...

Donald Trump's campaign blocked a Politico reporter from attending the candidate's victory rally on Tuesday night, continuing a troubling trend of denying access to reporters who write critically about Trump and his campaign. Ben Schreckinger, who has been covering Trump for more than six months, was denied access to Tuesday night's "press conference" -- Trump did not actually take any questions -- despite the fact that the campaign had already given press credentials. In blocking Schreckinger, the Trump campaign appears to have been following through on a threat it made last week to exclude Politico reporters from campaign events because...

Is anybody at CNN even a bit familiar with American history? I have to ask that because right at the start of episode 2 last night of their Race for the White House series, they made a glaring error in a map they presented. As the map was rolled out, narrator Kevin Spacey made clear it reflected the situation of the United States in the year 1858. One huge problem. The country was divided into free states of the north and slave states of the south as well as the new territories to the west. One very prominent state was...

Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” journalist Carl Bernstein said Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was a”neo-fascist” who is appealing to “nativism,” “racism” and “bigotry.”

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” after an extensive questioning from host Jake Tapper on the recent protests and violence at his rallies, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he was not encouraging violence and accused CNN of misreporting. Partial transcript as follows: TAPPER: Now, protests on the campaign trail are obviously nothing new. I have seen one in every previous election I have covered, but in every one I have seen before the leader on the stage tries to lower the temperature, not raise it. Do you ever consider whether you should be trying to lower the temperature...

Excoriating the GOP front-runner while mocking party establishment figures who now are urgently moving to prevent Trump from securing the nomination, Obama said the businessman's past should have served as prologue. "We're shocked someone is fanning anti-immigrant or anti-Muslim sentiment!" Obama said in jest, jabbing Republicans for acting surprised at a candidate who is "loose with the facts" or "distorts someone's record." "How could you be shocked?" the President exclaimed during a fundraiser in Austin. "This was the guy who was sure I was born in Kenya."
