All the cable news stations are thrilled. Hitlery finally takes questions on the tarmac.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a dead heat in Texas in a new Washington Post/Survey Monkey poll out Tuesday, with Clinton’s one-point lead prompting the pollsters to reclassifying the historically deep red state a “tossup.”

The latest Electoral College forecast published by the Cook Political Report on Monday found that Donald Trump would lose to Hillary Clinton even if he could sweep the toss-up states in November. "As the race stands today, Trump could sweep the entire Toss Up column and still come up two electoral votes short of the 270 needed to win," the report said. "At the mid-point of August, Hillary Clinton has 21 states plus the District of Columbia and three of Maine’s four electoral votes that are Solidly, Likely or Leaning in Democratic for a total of 272 electoral votes, two...

...Clinton leads Trump, 35.1 to 33.5 percent, in the Arizona Republic/Morrison/Cronkite News survey out Wednesday... The survey of 704 likely voters in Arizona was conducted via telephone interviews from Aug. 17-31. It is the first major independent statewide political poll in the traditionally red state of the 2016 race.

Hillary Clinton’s Christianity, which she wielded as a political weapon in her 2008 Democratic presidential primary campaign, largely has been missing in this year’s election. She hasn’t hidden her Methodist upbringing, but scholars say it’s not front and center. And where in the past she used it as a window into her character, this year she’s deployed it as a debate tactic to push criminal justice reform and other policy goals. Church attendance also has been all but absent from Mrs. Clinton’s schedule, except when she’s turned up behind a pulpit to stump for votes, particularly in predominantly black churches,...

The FBI just released its report on Clinton. We will undoubtedly hear a right-wing chorus that the report stamps her as untrustworthy. But, an actual reading of the report strongly reflects, instead, her honor and trustworthiness. The best way to see this is to get right into the report itself. The Bogus Nature of the State Department Inspector General’s Criticism of Her.... Merely Drone Strike Kerfuffle Was At Issue, Not Truly Super-Classified Material.... Not Much Was Even Nominally Classified....

Winning the White House depends as much on who comes out to vote as which candidate Americans prefer. Each week, we poll more than 15,000 people, then factor in likely turnout among key demographics to see how voting would play out in the Electoral College.

An ex-wife of Donald Trump's new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school nearly a decade ago, according to court papers reviewed Friday by The Associated Press. That revelation came a day after reports emerged that domestic violence charges were filed 20 years ago against Bannon following an altercation with his then-wife, Mary Louise Piccard.

RENO, Nev. — Hillary Clinton on Thursday delivered a blistering denunciation of Donald J. Trump, saying he had embraced the “alt-right” political philosophy and presenting his choice as an especially ominous turn in a presidential election full of them. In her most direct critique yet connecting the Trump campaign to white nationalists and the conservative fringe, Mrs. Clinton is framing Mr. Trump’s run as unprecedented in modern politics. “He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican Party,” she said.

Democrat Hillary Clinton will accuse Donald Trump of embracing a brand of U.S. political conservatism associated with white nationalism and nativism when she makes a Nevada campaign stop on Thursday. Aides said Clinton will link Trump’s statements about immigration and religion to the rise of a political fringe movement in the U.S. known as the “alternative right”, which opposes multiculturalism and immigration. Clinton’s speech is an effort to keep attention focused on what a top aide called Trump’s “divisive and dystopian vision” as he tries to reverse his slumping position in opinion polls in key battleground states before the Nov....

An email in WikiLeaks’ Hillary Clinton archive shows Huma Abedin served as the Director of Nap Time while working at the State Department. Abedin sent the email in question to Clinton on January 11, 2013, ahead of a meeting with the French Foreign Minister. (RELATED: Emails Show Top Hillary Aide Researched Drug For Parkinson’s, Alzheimers) The email did not contain a message in the body, yet the subject line reads “Reminder fabius at 3:30. Take a nap [sic].” Laurent Fabius served as France’s Foreign Minister from 2012-2016. Since Abedin’s email was sent at 2:21 pm, and the meeting with Fabius...

Tim Cook will mark his five-year anniversary as the CEO of Apple by doing something that his predecessor Steve Jobs typically avoided: hosting a fundraiser for a presidential candidate. On Wednesday, Cook and Lisa Jackson, Apple's (AAPL, Tech30) head of environmental initiatives, will host an event in California to raise money for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. Those invited have reportedly been asked to contribute as much as $50,000. Cook is just the latest in a growing list of tech executives and venture capitalists working to raise big money to help Clinton beat Donald Trump, who has repeatedly attacked tech companies...

Whoever coined the phrase, “The devil you know is better than the one you don’t,” OBVIOUSLY never met Hillary Clinton. There is a reason she is called Hitlery not only in private, but often in print as well at times. There is no situation on earth that the Devil we know with Hitlery, is EVER better than ANYONE, let alone Donald Trump. How many people has Trump killed again? Oh yes, zero. First of all, there's her never-ending killing spree of her political opposition. On August 6th, when I wrote, Clinton Adds +5 to Body Count in 6 Weeks, a...

Analysis confirms 15 consecutive months of record-breaking heat

Americans are about to get the first landslide president we don’t want We’ve got a presidential campaign that stars one of the most polarizing, divisive and talked-about figures in American life, an international celebrity and lightning rod for all sociopolitical topics going back a quarter of a century. And she’s become a bystander in this race. On Thursday, after the usual barrage and tumult of nuttier-than-a-Skippy-factory stories about the Donald Trump campaign, Hillary Clinton didn’t show up until page A15 of that day’s edition of The New York Times, in a story in which she practically begged America, “Hey! Over...

Hillary Clinton’s plan to dramatically boost U.S. solar power production and installation could benefit a number of companies that have paid or donated to various arms of the former secretary of state’s expansive political network.... More recent corporate donors to the group include the Albright Stonebridge Group a political intelligence firm founded by Madeline Albright, the former secretary of state, that boasts of its ability to connect businesses to Washington power-brokers. Albright Stonebridge has also represented First Solar, helping the company to secure a lucrative solar contract in China in 2009. The firm did not respond to questions about its...

On Fox News Sunday Hillary claimed that she supported deporting criminals. "Let's look at deportation. Whoever is president gets to determine what the priorities are. My priorities are deport criminals, violent criminals as fast as we can. Deport anybody that we think even has a passable link to terrorism." Wasn't there an amendment to the 2007 amnesty bill that would have deported illegals flagged for deportation by judges, and Hillary voted against it along with Chuck Schumer, the late Arlen Specter and Ted Kennedy?
