If you’ve been on Twitter today, you’ve probably seen the following super-awkward video of Ted Cruz and Carly Fiorina trying to grasp hands in some sort of victorious motion: (Video clip at link)

We've been waiting for Rush to come to his senses and tell Cruz to get out of the race. Well, listen to Limbaugh's monologue on Friday: It's time, it's time now to realize that Fantasy Island, the plane never really landed, you're still circling, and it isn't gonna land.  There's no Herve VIllechaize down there waiting to greet you with a mimosa. Just return to your state. And of course he will not do this because in his mind, I mean, he's gonna be the nominee.  You realize he is playing out a fantasy here, he's living a fantasy. ...

During Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Obama told the media they have a “responsibility to dig, and to question,” and “It has been an honor and a privilege to work side-by-side with you to strengthen our democracy.” Obama told the press, “[I]t’s not enough just to give people a megaphone, and that’s why your power and your responsibility to dig, and to question, and to counter distortions and untruths is more important than ever. Taking a stand on behalf of what is true does not require you shedding your objectivity. In fact, it is the essence of good journalism....

Machiavellianism is "the employment of cunning and duplicity in statecraft or in general conduct". The word comes from the Italian Renaissance diplomat and writer Niccolo Machiavelli, who wrote Il Principe (The Prince), among other works. In Psychology In modern psychology, Machiavellianism is one of the dark triad personalities, characterized by a duplicitous interpersonal style, a cynical disregard for morality and a focus on self-interest and personal gain. Machiavellianism is also a term that some social and personality psychologists use to describe a person's tendency to be unemotional, and therefore able to detach him or herself from conventional morality and...

Imagine John Kasich, the winner of a grand total of one state, being nominated. Is that too tough? Okay, try this. Imagine a John Kasich campaign ad featuring his imaginary nomination. See, much easier. And also much more mockable which is exactly what Red Eye did on the Fox News Channel last night. 

Trump Supporter Walks Through Crowd Of Trump Haters San Francisco, CA - Trump supporter walks through gauntlet of Trump haters outside GOP convention in San Francisco. Read more at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a78_1461962921#ICl0X6yagbVC0F1M.99

But it does revolve around the conceit that the 40th president had no knowledge of where he was or what he was doing throughout his entire second term. The protagonist is Frank Corden, a low-level White House aide with a sweetly idealized view of American democracy. The first clues that Reagan is not in his right mind come early on: As Frank prepares coffee for Reagan re-election staffers, he overhears Treasury Secretary Don Regan (depicted as a stern, mentor-like figure) in a heated phone conversation with Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger (cartoonishly abusive, he's described as "all Brylcreem and forehead...

All eyes in the crowd fell on the supreme commander of the Korean People's Army. He emerged from the subway in one of this city's busiest nightlife areas with his trademark black suit and closely cropped hair. He hadn't lost any weight. "That's Kim Jong Un!" somebody shouted. Not quite. The reviled North Korean dictator, it turns out, has a doppelganger. He was soon surrounded by Friday night revelers holding up their smartphones and giggling in disbelief. Several rubbed his belly as they posed for their friends.

"Donald Trump's Secret Service detail and private bodyguards had the last laugh on Friday as hundreds of protesters swarmed at the front of a San Francisco airport hotel trying to block him from coming in for a speech at the state Republican Party's annual convention. Instead of partnering with uniformed police in riot shields trying to push the hordes back, they did a law-enforcement head fake – leading the billionaire across a grass highway median and in a back-door loading dock at the Hyatt Regency hotel in the suburb of Burlingame. The move left Trump feeling like he was crossing...

Lee Kantar lost two moose calves this past weekend. They are just a few among many calves that did not survive their first year in the forests of Maine. Kantar, a moose biologist for the state’s Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, has only been tracking calves for a few years but early death is a trend he and others can see across the animal's southern range, which stretches through the northern U.S. and Canada. Scientists speculate that young and adult moose alike are plagued by new diseases and parasites. Brain worm and winter ticks, for example, are both worsening...

Carly Fiorina‘s spontaneous singing at Ted Cruz‘s rally earlier this afternoon was a little odd and a little charming. So naturally, Twitter went nuts. Fiorina sang a little bit and came up with lyrics dedicated to Cruz’s two little girls. The reaction was remarkably overwhelming:

It makes perfect sense that Hillary Clinton would select Us Weekly as the forum in which to reveal her innermost secrets: “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me!” Us Weekly is owned by septuagenarian gay activist Jann Wenner, who has published some of the nation’s most famous fake journalism in his other fanzine, Rolling Stone. Its most famous piece of recent faux reporting was the totally false UVa fraternity rape story. That story, now the subject of multiple lawsuits by the real victims – the fraternity and at least one college administrator — ran a few months after the magazine’s...

Half a century ago, harvesting California’s 2.2 million tons of tomatoes for ketchup required as many as 45,000 workers. In the 1960s, though, scientists and engineers at the University of California, Davis, developed an oblong tomato that lent itself to being machine-picked and an efficient mechanical harvester to do the job in one pass through a field. The battle to save jobs was on... ...These days, the battle to save American jobs has a different flavor... ...In America’s factories, jobs are inevitably disappearing, too. But despite the political rhetoric, the problem is not mainly globalization. Manufacturing jobs are on the...

MILWAUKEE — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reveled in his Wisconsin victory on Tuesday night, calling it a “turning point” in the GOP presidential race and suggesting it's proof he can win future primary contests and the general election. “We have a choice,” Cruz told a cheering crowd here at the American Serb Hall in Milwaukee. “A real choice.” “As a result of tonight, as a result of the people of Wisconsin defying the media, defying the pundits, I’m more and more convinced our campaign is going to earn the 1,237 delegates needed to win the Republican nomination,” Cruz said. “Either...

Diamond and Silk Celebrate Donald Trump 5 states win and have a message for all of Ted Cruz Supporters.

Conservative columnist and provocateur Richard Littlejohn poked fun at President Obama Monday after he hosted a town hall in London that was a bit heavy on the "diversity" and political correctness for his taste. The audience for the event, which was held on Saturday, was reportedly chosen by the American Embassy and "appeared heavily weighted to appease the ‘diversity’ brigade," according to Littlejohn. "Take another look at the audience at Barack Obama’s ‘town hall’ meeting in London," Littlejohn invited Daily Mail readers. "Is this a portrait of Britain you recognise?" I know we are ordered to celebrate ‘diversity’ at all...

JibJab video featuring Lyin' Ted Cruz and one of his (alleged, of course) mistresses, Randy Mandy (Amanda Carpenter)

Cruz is doing a decent job of talking to political junkies, and a terrible job of talking to everyone else. Some of that is the media’s fault and much of it is Ted Cruz’s fault. Find a friend of yours who doesn’t pay much attention to politics. Ask those people what Trump wants to do. Don’t ask them about their opinion of Trump. Ask them what actual government actions the Trump wants. They will definitely tell you that he wants to build a wall, ban Muslim immigration, and deport illegal aliens. They will tell you that he will negotiate better...
