Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate — including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler. “We have a presidential candidate whose loudest message reeks of hatred and Islamophobia… turning on the news now is scary, and oftentimes, humiliating,” the Muslim woman, Nabela Noor, says in a December YouTube video.

Corruption: We know at least 1,340 of Hillary Clinton’s personal emails contain classified material. This was no accident. Someone deliberately moved highly sensitive content from a secure network to her private account. Is that person a criminal? The smoking guns indicating there has been profound misconduct in the handling of State Department email communications have become “a growing arsenal,” we wrote last week. “If a ‘smoking gun’ means catching (Clinton) in a flat lie or putting national security at risk or being unbelievably, if not criminally, negligent in her handing of classified information,” then, we said, at least seven have...

This is not how Hillary Clinton’s run for the White House was supposed to go: full of never-ending scandals, with a close primary competitor, and two FBI investigations. There is but one week to go before the Iowa caucuses, where the first votes in this year’s presidential race will finally be cast.While Hillary Clinton is still the clear leader in national polls and likely to receive the nomination, the numbers are extremely close [1] in Iowa between Hillary and the democratic socialist candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). And in the first actual primary, the following week in New Hampshire, Mrs....

Late today a Texas grand jury found no case against PP for selling baby parts; they did indite the producers of the video for unlawfully viewing a government form. Megyn Kelly of Fox news was the source for me. Background is that pro life Gov.of Texas appointed the prosecutor, in the case, to find if an indictment of PP could be found AGAINST them for selling baby parts. Instead the Producers were indicted! This cannot happen by accident. Even if a grand jury would not find an intictment against PP, a separate action would have to be prosecuted by the...

Don then questioned if Ted Cruz was going to be around longterm and that's when I showed him this interview from Oct 17th which someone still has under 1000 views on youtube. There are two things worth noting concerning this interview it to understand them you need to see the RCP polling from that day...

... I cite these precedents as reasons why I'm giving the analysis I'm giving, and sticking with it despite the latest public opinion polls. That analysis is this -- the same people who typically vote in the caucuses will likely decide the outcome of this one. And in that case the best organization wins -- and the best organization belongs to Ted Cruz...

Sitting back and observing the current civil war happening within the Republican party should come as no surprise to anyone who resides outside the beltway of Washington, D.C. Pundits, thinkers, writers, and radio hosts who I once admired, have now lost credibility as they have bestowed upon themselves the bastion of what is and isn’t “true conservatism”. Yet, while the civil war wages within the party, the party itself does a disservice to this nation for fighting the wrong battle at the wrong time as the war for the heart of this country wages on. To myself, this has always...

This is an attempt to compile the basics on the Hillary Clinton email/server scandal with accompanying conclusions and recommendations. Where to start? I'll make this as concise and specific as I can. I'm going to type key urls and key data points from said urls. Here goes: Of Course Hillary Broke the Law, And Here's How Salient points: "It's painfully obvious that the former Secretary of State violated federal law--five of them, in fact. . . 44 U.S. Code § 3101, 2 U.S. Code § 192, 18 U.S. Code § 1519, 18 U.S. Code § 1924, 18 U.S. Code §...

Coming up during the next administration will be 3 or possibly 4 openings to fill vacancies on the Supreme Court. If you elect, as president, someone who will appoint activist judges, who will tend to have a "progressive" interpretation of the Constitution, then you can expect to see a wholesale change to our society as we know it. -snip- If the Democrats retain the White House, you can expect potential nominees to make decisions, if confirmed, who will promote the far-left agenda as personified by the four liberal judges now sitting on the Supreme Court (i.e. Kagan, Breyer, Sotomayor, and...

On Thursday, Fox News will be hosting the final GOP presidential debate just days removed from the Iowa Caucus. A growing din of whispers surrounding the impending debate has at least one member of the moderating panel specifically targeting Donald Trump’s demise. It appears the Trump campaign has already initiated counter measures as Mr. Trump himself called for Fox personality and upcoming debate moderator, Megyn Kelly to be removed from the moderator panel. Trump and Kelly have engaged in an ongoing war of words since Kelly’s first stint at moderating during a GOP debate last fall that had her issuing...

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Sunday dismissed concerns that he can't win a general election. Responding to comments from Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who said he is unelectable, Sanders said he would beat Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump "badly" in a head-to-head matchup. "Well, what I say to her is that if she would look at the matchups that are taking place between Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump right now, she would find that we were 15 points ahead of him nationally," Sanders said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Conservative ideologues want to keep things essentially as they are, making only marginal and generally ineffective changes. Populists want to change things to be more consistent with what "we the people" want. Often, what we the people want is better than what our "leaders" want or try to provide. Under these definitions, Trump is a populist, not a conservative ideologue. That's good.According to Dictionary. com, these are attributes of "conservatives:" Disposed to preserve existing conditions, restore traditional ones, and to limit change. According to the same source, "populism" means: Any of various, often anti-establishment or anti-intellectual political movements or philosophies that...

Chicago Tribune Editorial Board member Clarence Page and “McLaughlin Group” host John McLaughlin predicted the FBI will recommend Democratic presidential candidate former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton face prosecution for mishandling classified information on Friday.

A great summary of Trump's positions in his own words. https://youtu.be/rcUCLwWCihE

(photo at the link) Donald Trump’s official voting record has been released, showing that he was a registered Republican since at least 1980, throwing water on the theory that he was at one time a Democrat. This is causing major panic in the Cruz campaign that insisted that Trump recently switched his affiliation. Voting records for Trump’s adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, were not immediately available. Trump is leading by wide margins in New Hampshire, South Carolina, Florida, and nearly every other state where pollsters take the Republican electorate’s temperature. In Iowa, he is running neck-and-neck with Republican Sen....

This is an excellent speech. It's no wonder Trump is still in the game. That said, consider these words from Noah Rothman's remarks in Commentary: "... Trumpism (is) a paranoid, nationalist fever. It is, by definition, a minority sentiment. It cannot ascend to lead the nation because it seeks to shape a winning coalition through division and subtraction. For conservatives with an interest in seeing their governing agenda enacted, the rise of Trump is a threat". The problem with Rothman's clear logic is that US conservatives have no currently visible prospect of defeating Hillary and restoring principled constitutional governance. If,...

Who has Champion Material? Trump, Cruz and Carson believe they have the right stuff to lead America through the destructive "winter era" back to safety and a new beginning. By Craig Johnson In times of great peril, God raises a champion to provide a spark, or to lead a nation through the destructive "winter era" back to safety and the start of a new social order. This occurs every 80 to 100 years. We are in such a dark, destructive phase again, as outsiders Trump, Carson, and Cruz, storm the gates of American politics. They have battled Republican and...

The U.S. Secret Service escorted the Mounds police chief out of Tulsa's Mabee Center on Wednesday because he was carrying his gun, he says.Chief Tim McDaniel was there with his family to see Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump speak. He was in uniform when he was told he either needed to check his gun or leave."I think it's interesting, because in Mr. Trump's debate the other night, he actually said that officers are some of the most mistreated people in the country, and I come up to see the man and I'm mistreated,” McDaniel said.McDaniel said he didn't want to...

Video at the link. *This* is the why we're so angry. The GOPe and the 'conservative' media is trying to shame us back onto the plantation. Name calling didn't work, so now they're claiming that we were never 'real' conservatives to begin with. They are trying to choose our candidate and we won't let them. And yes. This kind of anger *will* drive people to the polls.
