When Chris Christie threw his support behind Donald Trump, Washington gasped...

Since this is a blog post and the author has given permission for reposts with attribution, I would normally go ahead and post the whole thing. However, since this lady is a former soldier and uses language that would make a sailor blush, I'll post down until it starts getting too rough then excerpt. But do go and read the rest. I guarantee you'll cackle with glee towards the end (if you're not a total Trump fan, that is.) Dear Republican and Democrat establishments, By this time you're probably wondering what the hell is happening to that nice little world...

With the Trump massive victory last night in the Nevada Caucus....the time is coming, or here already, not only to make America great again....but to cause the permanent upheaval of the American political structure, which is now controlled by political elites, the mainstream media, political donors, poliitcal lobbyists and the good ole boy & gals that rub each others backs in the Republican & Democrat political parties. The American people are treated like sheep, scorned, used & abused by these power hungry & financial tyrants. The political differences between both major parties is naught but a charade to keep us...

Now that Donald Trump has wiped the floor yet again with the other Republican candidates in the Nevada caucuses, it's time for the GOP to face reality -- barring force majeure, they have a presidential candidate, like it or not. The so-called establishment has a choice: Get on the Trump bandwagon or try some desperate maneuver to stop him. But what would that be? A Rubio-Cruz ticket, assuming they would do it? At the time of this writing, the two men added together don't equal the Trump vote in Nevada -- and that's even assuming their voters would hold, which...

Republican presidential hopeful Marco Rubio has made plans to meet with former rival Jeb Bush, he said Tuesday, according to the New York Times. "He's just decompressing from this election," Rubio said of the former Florida governor. "And trying to get going again in the rest of his life. But we'll meet and talk soon enough." Before Bush dropped out of the GOP race, the two had attacked each other repeatedly. Bush often went after Rubio for his attendance record as a senator and for his relative inexperience. Rubio seems to have moved past that contentious period, saying on Tuesday...

This is a short 2 minute video of Trump mocking the elitists that claim to hold ownership of "Conservative." Trump does his best Thurston Howell the Third impression to make fun of these people. It's about time we got a candidate that openly mocks the clowns that have been screwing everything up! Enjoy! Donald Trump: True Conservative

Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch endorsed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio for president, the senator's staff confirmed to the Washington Examiner. Hatch is one of the highest ranking Republicans in Congress, and he is third in the line of the succession to the U.S. presidency as president pro tempore of the United States Senate. The six-term senator had previously endorsed Jeb Bush and sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2000. Hatch's endorsement could be interpreted as a sign of the party's governing class rallying to Rubio.

Donald Trump is "far and away the front-runner," for the GOP presidential nomination and the establishment is "living in a fantasy land," by denying that big changes are happening, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday. "Trump is tapping into something in the country that's real," Gingrich told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "If you take Trump's vote and Cruz's vote and Carson's vote -- the three outsiders -- they are once again at about 62 percent in South Carolina, and they have been consistently above 60 percent everywhere in the country. If you pull together all of the...

There has never been a more selfish or self-serving decision made by a top-tier political group of insiders, than for the Bush Clan to promote Jeb Bush knowing full well the electorate wanted nothing to do with another Bush candidacy. They knew (full well) in 2013 and 2014 Jeb Bush would never achieve more than 20% support, if that high. They knew this from the outset; yet they went through the extraordinary effort to create an entire plan dependent on scheme and graft for no other reason than to hoist Jeb upon the electorate. Changing party rules, conducting exclusive planning...

Saturday following GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump’s victory in the South Carolina Republican primary, political consultant Roger Stone explained to Fox News Channel’s Hannity that Trump’s path to victory was to unite the so-called “anti-establishment vote.” “You just described the path victory for Donald Trump,” Stone said. “The anti-establishment vote, which is repudiating the foreign policy, immigration policy, trade policy, fiscal policies of the Bush wing of the Republican party is in a majority, which is why Trump will ultimately be the nominee. When they say oh, well Bush getting out, that’ll strengthenSen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% , yes, but Ben Carson’s...

The Establishment Plans for an Open Convention February 19, 2016 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: This is Julie in Topeka.It's great to have you. Hi. CALLER: Hi. I just have a question. RUSH: Yes? CALLER: At what point would you see... ?I know Ben Carson wants itand I know Bush wants itand I know Kasich wants it, but by having so many people in thereit allows Trump to carry that banner of,"I'm winning."Is there some point that those others, the lower tier at this point, would say,"For the sake of the Republican Party and saving the country from Trump," that they...

The big loser of the South Carolina GOP debate Saturday night had to have been the audience. It was painfully obvious to all with eyes to see that the audience was cooked, packed with donors backing Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio. In fact, such was the transparency and desperation of the neoconservative Establishment that its attempts to salvage its candidates' diminishing prospects while weakening the frontrunner and first runner-up were at once pitiable and laughable. In the real world, Jeb Bush supporters are rarer than Elvis Presley sightings. This is consistent with Jeb's abysmal national polling, to say nothing of...

As a sitting Senator who worked for George W. Bush, Ted Cruz is not an outsider as he likes to claim, he’s an insider. His DC insider connections go back to 1997 when he began working to prepare testimony for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. During that period of time he also served as legal counsel for former Rep John Boehner. Cruz joined the George W. Bush Campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser and worked in 2000 for the Bush team in the Bush v. Gore Florida recount. He also recruited future Chief Justice John Roberts to the...

One booming business in Silicon Valley is security — but not the digital kind. Insiders tell Page Six that the young tech billionaires are forced to hire armies of guards after threats from unstable users [emphasis mine].

Can you believe this? One longtime Rubio supporter who backs Bush faulted Rubio’s campaign for the slip-up. He said they drove Rubio too hard and too long and he didn’t have enough sleep. In the days before New Hampshire primary, Rubio struggled to find his footing coming off as subdued and tired during some of his final campaign stops. Rubio also repeated himself, again, this time about family values in his last campaign rally in Nashua, N.H., before the primary. “It was the pace. He couldn’t keep up,” the source said. “And then they doubled-down on it – tripled and...

February 8, 2016FBI Makes It Official: Hillary Rodham Clinton Is Under Investigation by Michael Walsh Just the thing to propel her into the New Hampshire primary tomorrow: In a letter disclosed Monday in a federal court filing, the FBI confirms one of the world's worst-kept secrets: It is looking into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server. Why say this at all, since it was widely known to be true? Because in August in response to a judge's direction, the State Department asked the FBI for information about what it was up to. Sorry, the FBI said at the...

Ted Cruz won last week's Iowa caucuses, exceeding expectations and capturing an impressive 27 percent of the vote. Donald Trump took second place, while Marco Rubio took third. What happened next?...

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- With the hours counting down until the New Hampshire primary, tensions between the Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush campaigns are intensifying. On Sunday afternoon, Bush campaign manager Danny Diaz convened top aides for an afternoon conference call in which he told them to expect "dirty tricks" from the Rubio campaign in the run-up to voting here, according to one source on the call. The source said Diaz, a hard-charging veteran operative, was not more specific. The conference call came as the Huffington Post reported that a pro-Rubio super PAC had sent out a mailer in the state...

Chris Christie accused Marco Rubio of being an empty suit, a dilettante who repeats the same memorized speech over and over. Rubio's response: the same memorized speech. For a minute or so on Saturday night, the Republican golden boy seemed like a malfunctioning robot. Delivering the same confusing line four separate times -- Barack Obama, he said, "knows exactly what he's doing" -- Rubio proved the precise point Christie was trying to make. "There it is," Christie said, triumphant. "There it is, everybody." The Republican debate was held three days before the New Hampshire primary in which national front-runner Donald...

Hillary Clinton on Thursday said a woman cannot be considered part of the Establishment. Clinton offered the claim during a Democratic presidential debate with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in Durham, New Hampshire. Sanders said Clinton "has the entire Establishment or almost the entire Establishment behind her. That's a fact." But Hillary said her sex makes that impossible. "Well, look, I've got to just jump in here because, honestly, Senator Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the Establishment. And I've got to tell you that...
