GOP presidential candidate Gov. Scott Walker is reportedly canceling an appearance at the California GOP Convention next weekend. Walker is scheduled to appear at the CNN GOP presidential primary debate in Simi Valley, California on Wednesday.

adical leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn on Saturday won the crown of Britain's main opposition Labour party in a landslide victory, becoming the nation's most left-wing political leader for over 30 years. The 66-year-old socialist, whose policies have been compared to those of Greece's Syriza and Spain's Podemos, was named leader after clinching 59.5 percent of the 422,664 votes cast by Labour party members and supporters. The newly-elected leader condemned "grotesque levels of inequality" and "an unfair welfare system" in his victory speech to party members in central London. The veteran campaigner also called for Britain's Conservative government to show more "compassion"...

An undercover video published Thursday by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas purports to show Nevada-based Hillary Clinton campaign staffers and volunteers ignoring and knowingly violating Nevada’s voter registration laws. Moreover, the video appears to show that this conduct is being condoned and encouraged by a local attorney who works for the Clinton campaign.

Donald Trump has hit his highest level of support among Republican voters, fueled by major increases in support from woman and college graduates and continued increased in his core constituencies, according to a new CNN/ORC poll released Thursday.

Hillary Clinton's Iowa edge is gone. Bernie Sanders leads the former secretary of state for the first time among Iowa Democrats likely to caucus in February, according to a new Quinnipiac University poll unveiled Thursday morning — the latest in a string of surveys that show a tightening race in the Hawkeye State. The Vermont senator's advantage is within the margin of error — he took 41 percent compared with Clinton's 40 percent — and another 12 percent said they would support Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to declare his 2016 intentions. (Former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley picked...

Edited down to 1:29. Carly Fiorina discusses Meg Whitman, Shawn Hannity and Barbara Boxer before an interview on CNN.

So, thinking about the constant charge of "narcissism" that is applied to Trump, and trying to explain how that in fact works with his high level of support, I actually did some digging. This is NOT a scholarly study. But here was my methodology. I read minute by minute quotations of Trump's Mobile speech, but did not watch the video of the speech. In New Hampshire, I watched about the first 16 minutes of his speech and recorded every use (and I mean, EVERY use, including repetitions interrupted by applause) of the following terms: Category 1: I/me Category 2: us/we/our...

Glenn Beck is having an absolute hissy on the radio right now. In epic meltdown, he is literally rambling and mad at the world. The In the course of the first 45 minutes in the program we've learned that: - Sarah Palin is a clown - Trump supporters are no different than Obama supporters in 2008/2012 -Don Lemon on the other hand, is an honest guy trying to do the right thing -Ted Cruz is in Donald Trump's hip pocket I honestly thought at one point he was going to scream "STOP LIKING SOMEONE I DON'T LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!". It seems ironic...

On Thursday, Nationally syndicated radio show host Mark Levin urged conservatives to become activists and fight for the country and society. “We conservatives have to become the largest and most effective group of activists this world has ever seen, or we will not get our country back,” Levin said. “We have got to defend what’s left of the civil society, or we will not get our society back. We are being attacked on all fronts, including from within the conservative movement.” “The whole immigration system has been destroyed in order to change the nation from within. And they brag about...

Talk radio host Hugh Hewitt has said in the wake of last week's controversial foreign policy interview with Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump that "I deplore 'gotcha questions,'" yet he's repeatedly defended asking them in the past and even says on his website that there's no such thing as a "gotcha question."

This is a great Trump speech. What stands out in this speech is that Trump said that if he becomes president, he would never want to leave the White House ( around 20 min mark on youtube clip). Trump conveys how excited he would to be in the White House, and that he would never want to leave it. Then he says he would not be like Obama who cannot stand to be in the White House and always wants to leave. He points out how Obama and his wife took two separate jets to go to the same airport...

,,,, Pagliano did not list the outside income in the required personal financial disclosures he filed each year. The State Department has said Pagliano concluded his full-time service in February 2013, which coincides with Clinton’s departure as secretary. He remains a State Department contractor doing work on “mobile and remote computing functions,” according to a State Department spokesman. ...... A spokeswoman for the Senate Judiciary Committee said that Pagliano informed the committee that he would not testify after his lawyer was told that he might face questions about outside employment. ...... By early 2013, as Clinton was preparing to conclude...

Donald Trump is taking a lot of heat from people who would like to see him support the dear lady, Kim Davis, in Kentucky. Those same people, if they think about it are asking him to commit political suicide. Trump is right, for now. Sorry. Everyone, and I include myself, is disappointed, but not surprised that 4 liberal justices and one who has always been sympathetic to the 'queer class' decided that homosexuals are a minority and deserve the protection of law and equal rights. They have also ruled that the crucial parts of the 'Defense of Marriage Act' are...

CARLY FIORINA’S Secret Deals with Iran While CEO of Hewlett Packard, Not to Mention Her Ottoman Empire Admiration, Make Her Unfit for President Carly Fiorina‘s illegal dealings with Iran, during her tenure as CEO of HP, were exposed in the Boston Globe. which broke the story that Hewlett Packard had been selling its printers in Iran through a subsidiary company in Dubai, despite the fact that a trade embargo had been in place against the Iranian regime since 1997. The sales were halted shortly after the business dealings were published by the Globe. Texas GOP: Fiorina claimed no knowledge that...

In our election discussions I have been arguing that the rise of Trump reflects a de-emphasis in traditional ideological issues. Trump, as we all know, is hardly an issue-by-issue conservative. I have argued that he transcends many specific conservative positions by his love of America, a nationalistic pride, a commitment to saving our borders, and a kind of TR -type bluster. I think even most of his opponents would give him this much, I have pointed to the decline of ideology, but haven't really thought about how it occurred. And the answer lies---as with the answer to most our complaints---with...

I think that Iran right now is in the driver’s seat to do whatever they want to do. I think what’s happening with Iran is, I think it’s one of the, and I covered it very well. I assume you saw the news conference. I think Iran is, it’s one of the great deals ever made for them. I think it’s one of the most incompetent contracts I’ve even seen. I’m not just talking about defense. I’m not talking about a contract with another country. I’ve never seen more of a one-sided deal, I think, in my life, absolutely.

At a press conference at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump reveals that he has signed a pledge to support whoever the Republican nominee for President may be- and that he will not run on a third party ticket.

It’s over. Hillary Clinton is not going to be the next President of the United States. It’s not because she demanded skim milk for her tea, though any discerning tea-drinker would always insist on at least semi-skim. It’s not because she couldn’t work out how to watch ‘Parks and Recreation’ or ‘The Good Wife’ on catch-up TV, though coupled with her general apparent ignorance of all new technology this does little to negate the nagging sense that she’s simply too old for the top job in America. It’s not because her aides sometimes go 100 hours without sleep, though this...

The GOPe road map to nominate Jeb Bush is becoming more transparent each day. Since we initially outlined the construct of the establishment republican scheme we have been subjected to consistent criticism by those with a vested interest in either ignoring, or protecting, the fraud. However, today radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh joined us, and thus begins to awaken an even larger audience. We can expect the inbound fire to increase exponentially:
