    Associated Press ^ | Oct 20, 2016 6:01 PM EDT | David Bauder
    The final faceoff between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump reached 71.6 million television viewers, meaning two of the three most-watched presidential debates in history occurred during this campaign. The debate from Las Vegas, moderated by Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, exceeded the 66.5 million people who watched the second debate. The first time these two candidates met on stage in September, the audience of 84 million set a viewership record, the Nielsen company said. …

    The Political Insider ^ | October 20 2016
    Hillary Clinton had a mysterious medical handler who disappeared at the end of the Summer. But now, the strange man was spotted again… This time, at the presidential debate along side Hillary Clinton. Dressed like a Secret Service agent, he clearly is not! The man was spotted carrying what may be a Diazepam pen. And at the debate, he was caught putting the same type of pen back in his pocket just before Hillary exited: The handler is often spotted touching and being very close to Clinton. Knowing the relationship she has with the Secret Service, we are certain that...

    The Casa Grande Dispatch ^ | October 19, 2016 | Kevin Reagan
    CASA GRANDE — Republican Congressional District 1 candidate Paul Babeu says he plans to make improvements to Interstate 10 a greater priority for the federal government. Babeu, who is Pinal County sheriff, assembled a number of Republican state lawmakers on Monday to discuss his intentions as a congressman to prioritize widening a portion of I-10 that runs between Phoenix and Casa Grande. His plan is to work on expanding this section from two lanes to three in each direction. Doing so, Babeu said, improves safety and economic development. “This is directly linked to a prosperous future for western Pinal County...

    The rise of Donald Trump has given Paul Ryan heartburn all year. And that may not change after Election Day. The GOP presidential nominee has repeatedly accused Ryan, the nation’s highest-ranking elected Republican, of being disloyal to his campaign. If Trump is trounced by Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8, many believe he’ll turn his wrath — and his millions of loyal followers — against Ryan as he runs for reelection as Speaker. Trump already appears to be looking for ways to explain his potential loss in the White House race. Fox News host Sean Hannity, an ally of Trump, is...

    Madonna is pledging to perform oral sex on voters who cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton. The pop queen, known for her shocking antics, made the remark Tuesday while opening for comedian Amy Schumer in New York. “If you vote for Hillary Clinton,” Madonna told the crowd at Madison Square Garden, “I will give you a blow job.” “And I’m good,” the 58-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer, an outspoken supporter of the Democratic presidential nominee, said to cheers from the audience. “I’m not a tool. I take my time,” Madonna boasted.

    From:replies@actblue.com To: john.podesta@gmail.com Date: 2016-01-21 17:01 Subject: Fundamental flaw Dear John, Ted Cruz's super PAC just poured $2.5 million into ad buys in Iowa and South Carolina. Sounds scary, right? Well, it is and it isn't. $2.5M is certainly a lot of money, but super PACs have to pay exorbitant charges for TV ad time compared to real campaigns, and they can't coordinate with the campaigns on messaging. Which means that a real campaign could make the same impact for a whole lot less -- that's super PAC's fundamental flaw. Democrats fundraising through ActBlue don't need $2.5 million in expendable...

    Recent revelations through the WikLeaks hacked emails show an anti-Catholic and anti-evangelical bias on the part of some of Hillary’s campaign staff. For instance, Sandy Newman, president of Voices for Progress wrote to John Podesta, now Hillary’s campaign manager, in a February 2012 email: “There needs to be a Catholic Spring, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy and respect for gender equality in the Catholic church.”Podesta replied, “We created Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good to organize for a moment like this.” One could only imagine...
  • Hillary Clinton embraces George Soros’ ‘radical’ vision of open-border world

    The Washington Times ^ | October 20, 2016 | Rowan Scarborough
    Hillary Clinton has aligned herself closely with a vision for America laid out by her benefactor — left-wing financier George Soros, who talks of “international governance,” more open borders, increased Muslim immigration and diminished U.S. global power. The phrase “American exceptionalism” is not part of his agenda. He wrote in 1998: “The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions.” “We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy,” Mr. Soros wrote. After the Sept. 11, 2001, al Qaeda attacks on New York City and...

    The University of Massachusetts, Amherst has created a handy flow chart for students to help them determine what NOT to wear as a Halloween costume. Devised by UMass Amherst’s official diversity office, the “‘Simple Costume Racism Evaluation and Assessment Meter’ (S.C.R.E.A.M.) … poses several costume-related questions, the answers to which take one to various points on a ‘threat meter’ that ranges from green (low) to red (severe),” Campus Reform reported on Tuesday. For example, “If one intends to represent a person on Halloween, the only way to get a ‘green’ threat rating is for the person to be of one’s...

    BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Chris in Pleasanton, California. Hello, sir. CALLER: Yeah, hi, Rush. I think this lockstep reaction of the media to that question of Trump accepting results is a huge mistake by them and an opportunity for Trump. Here's why. When he speaks about things being rigged there's really two parts to it. One involves possible fraudulent voting, but the other part of that rigged equation is the media being so incredibly dishonest and almost fraudulent. And so with them making an issue of him not accepting results, it almost throws, like you said earlier, it throws a focus...

    Conservative Review ^ | 10/20/16 | Daniel Horowitz
    Despite news percolating throughout the country about non-citizens registering to vote under loose Motor-Voter practices, the courts are refusing to allow states to verify citizenship as a condition for registering to vote. Yesterday, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court’s injunction against a Kansas law requiring those registering with federal Motor-Voter forms to show proof of citizenship. The original injunction forced the state to register 20,000 individuals who failed to show proof of citizenship. Now, that number could rise to 50,000.

We should be providing an affordable, accessible college education to every American." This morning, President Obama signed those historic reforms into law. Dr. Jill Biden, an educator for 29 years, just recorded a short video explaining what these groundbreaking reforms mean for education in America.

    Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly teaming up with German energy drink maker Mintanine to supply energy drinks to refugees displaced by the Syrian civil war. “This is all part of Lindsay’s mission to help refugees,” a source close to Lohan said, Page Six reports. Last month, during a humanitarian visit, the Mean Girls star visited Syrian refugees at an Istanbul hospital and the home of a refugee family from Aleppo. “There’s hardly food, water or anything” at the refugee camp, a source repeatedly said. “So at this point sending anything is helpful.” Lohan will reportedly have the energy drink delivered...

    It's not Trump's answer that should be in the news. It's the question. The fact that the media felt the need to ask this question says a lot. What it says to me is that the liberals are already planning to steal the election via fraud and that they are pre-spinning. They are trying to box Trump into a corner before the fraud occurs. Think about this: How would you feel if your husband or wife asked you hypothetically "Honey, if I cheated on you, would you still stay married to me?" Why would they ask that question?
