The mayor of Paris tweeted that the Eiffel Tower will be lit up in black, yellow and red in solidarity with Brussels following a series of deadly attacks Tuesday that left at least 31 dead and dozens injured. Anne Hidalgo wrote on Twitter, “In solidarity with the people of Brussels, Paris will light up the Eiffel Tower in the colors of the Belgian flag tonight.” She added the hashtag #NousSommesUnis, which means “We Are United.”

Sanders reminded the crowd of reporters and activists that he spent time living in Israel and working on a kibbutz, and argued that because of that he was “probably the only candidate” with “personal ties” to the country. He specifically called it “absurd” that a portion of Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu’s government suggested increased settlements in the West Bank and added that it was “unacceptable” that they had withheld tax revenue from Palestinians. He talked about water and economic rights for Palestinians and said ending the economic blockade of Gaza would also be necessary for sustainable peace.

With so many wins, it appears Donald Trump is on his way to the Republican Convention in July with the hopes of walking away with the party's nomination. The primary results on March 15 seem to only further cemented that reality. But not so fast. KIRO Radio's Dave Ross with Seattle's Morning News and conservative voice Michael Medved joined the Jason Rantz Show after March 15 results were announced. According to the two men on the opposite sides of the political spectrum, the Republican Convention will likely be a contested one, with no clear candidate. Trump could still have an...

A Donald Trump fan who was filmed punching and kicking a protester at a rally in Arizona has been charged with assault. Tony Pettway, 32, who is African American, was caught on camera attacking white demonstrator Bryan Sanders as he was being escorted out of the Republican event in Tuscon on Saturday.

The plan to further bend the media dial in the direction of liberal political goals-- regarding a staffing move at NBC News and MSNBC. OBAMA ALUMNI: “Stephanie Cutter has joined NBC News and MSNBC as a Political Analyst. She will contribute exclusively on a range of topics across all platforms including Meet the Press, TODAY, Nightly and MSNBC.” Stephanie Cutter is a veteran of the Obama political machine and the fact that she’s no longer directly on the administration payroll hasn’t changed the tune she sings. The NBC announcement came on the same day as another bit of breaking political...

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders called the controversy over immigration "trumped up" today during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border near Nogales, Arizona, just days before the primary in this southwest state. "The so-called immigration problem we face today at this particular moment, is a trumped up and exaggerated problem," he said during a hillside press conference with the expansive, brown border fence stretching off into the distance behind him. His microphone was run off of a generator. Sanders went on to quote numbers from the Pew research center that indicate more people have been going from the United State to...

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Thursday called a controversial Arizona sheriff a bully and accused him of engaging in "un-American and uncivilized" law enforcement tactics. Sanders's comments at a campaign rally here were directed at long-serving Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who prides himself on being “America’s toughest sheriff” and operates an infamous “tent city” jail where inmates endure extreme outdoor heat. Sanders’s appearance was part of a series of stops planned ahead of Tuesday’s primary in Arizona, which he hopes will help him regain traction in a Democratic nominating contest he is losing to Hillary...

If you look at the media, Levin said, you would see them acting as if a brokered convention had never happened before. But that’s not true. - Levin’s point, in regaling his audience with this story, was to show that we’ve been through this process before. We’ve had a brokered convention before. And the party not only survived, but we nominated and elected one of the greatest American presidents in our nation’s history.

Ivana Trump, Republican presidential primary front-runner Donald Trump’s first wife, blasted Sen. Bernie Sanders as a “communist,” saying she has first-hand experience at identifying them. “Sanders is a communist,” she said to the New York Post’s Page Six. “I was born in a communist country, so I know when I see them or hear them.” Sanders has identified as a socialist and as a democratic-socialist on previous occasions. As senator, he’s caucused with Democrats and currently seeks the Democratic Party’s nod for the White House.

During the Democratic Town Hall Sunday night, CNN moderator Jake Tapper pressed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on the topic of his passionate followers, some of whom have shown their strong political allegiance with displays of aggression. With many comparisons drawn between the candidacies — and followers — of Sanders and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, the issue of aggressive political passion has become more heated than at any other point in this election. Tapper preempted a question by noting that he was looking to play devil’s advocate on a point regarding the the differences between Sanders supporters and those of Trump....

Bernie Sanders on Sunday slammed Donald Trump as a “pathological liar” who is “inciting violence” as Sanders kicked off a town hall duel with Hillary Clinton. “I hesitate to say this because I really don’t like to disparage public officials, but Donald Trump is a pathological liar,” Sanders said, in the first exchange of the event at Ohio State University hosted by CNN and TV One. Sanders also blasted Trump for saying that he might pay the legal fees of a man charged with punching a protester at one of his rallies, adding that doing so was tantamount to “inciting...

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump threatened Sunday to send his supporters to infiltrate the campaign rallies of Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders, whom Trump continued to insist was behind disruptions at his events. “Bernie Sanders is lying when he says his disruptors aren't told to go to my events,” Trump said on Twitter. “Be careful Bernie, or my supporters will go to yours!”

By Abby Phillip March 12 at 10:43 AM Hillary Clinton’s statement in response to an outbreak of violence at Republican Party front-runner Donald Trump’s Chicago rally was aimed at encouraging political unity. But instead, many reacted to her statement with disappointment. “The divisive rhetoric we are seeing should be of grave concern to us all,” Clinton said in the statement issued after midnight on Saturday morning. “We all have our differences, and we know many people across the country feel angry.”

hen protests broke out at a Donald Trump rally in Chicago on Friday night, so too did "Bernie, Bernie" chants. Trump eventually canceled the rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago Pavilion, and many of the protesters responsible for that were Bernie Sanders supporters. One of the leaders of the protest was a Sanders surrogate, 20-year-old Ja'Mal D Green, who describes the night as a "win." "Our whole purpose was to shut it down," said Green, a Chicago-based entertainer and activist. "Trump tried to bring his rally to one of the most diverse universities, and we had to show...

“No we’re not going to hate Mexicans, we’re not going to hate Muslims, we’re not going to insult women, we’re not going to insult veterans, we’re not going to insult African Americans, we are going to bring our people together,” the Democratic presidential candidate said.

Near the end of Wednesday's CNN/Univision Democratic debate, Jorge Ramos gave Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders his "Welcome to Miami" question, asking if the candidates supported President Obama's detente with Cuba and considered Raul Castro a president or a dictator. Clinton said that she backs opening relations with Cuba, viewing it as a way to bring democracy to the island nation. She called Raul and Fidel Castro "authoritarian and dictatorial." Maria Elena Salinas tweaked the question for Sanders, noting that in the 1980s he had offered praise for Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega (who is once again leader of Nicaragua) and...

There's still a chance that Marco Rubio could secure the Republican nomination as the U.S. presidential candidate for 2016, with John Kasich as his running mate. My prediction, while seemingly improbable (though certainly no more so than if you had predicted Donald Trump would become the Republican front runner and discuss his manhood at a GOP debate) comes after careful consideration of the Florida senator's operations and ground game in Florida. Despite a poor showing in Tuesday's primaries and polls indicating Rubio is losing Florida, his knowledge of the Sunshine state and his grassroots support from locals could ultimately bring...

Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is moving hard into Florida, where the senator from Texas hopes to knock out rival Sen. Marco Rubio and position himself as the only last alternative to front-runner Donald Trump. Cruz’s campaign announced Friday that it is opening 10 field offices in Florida, which holds a Republican primary March 15. Trump has a big lead in the polls there, but Cruz’s campaign thinks it can increase its support in the state by appealing to conservatives and positioning the candidate as an alternative to Trump. “We recognize that it’s an uphill battle for us, but it becomes...

Fox host Bill O'Reilly loses custody of children amid abuse allegations Published time: 1 Mar, 2016 Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly lost custody of his teenage children over allegations of domestic abuse by his ex-wife. The New York Appellate Division unanimously ruled that O'Reilly's 13- and 17-year-old children should live full time with their mother, Maureen McPhilmy, who was married to the conservative commentator for 15 years. A 1,400 word opinion using anonymous names was issued by the court last week, but the media only figured out who it was this week. The ruling states it was the "clearly...
