    TEXAS - The National Enquirer just dropped a bombshell on the Cruz campaign and the internet exploded overnight. Reports claim investigators have found Ted Cruz has been having an affair with five different women. According to the Enquirer: “Private detectives are digging into at least five affairs Ted Cruz supposedly had,” claimed a Washington insider. “The leaked details are an attempt to destroy what’s left of his White House campaign!” The ENQUIRER reports that Cruz’s claimed mistresses include a foxy political consultant and a high-placed D.C. attorney! The publication did not name names and only printed pixelated photos. Internet users...

    Twitter ^ | 2/24/2016 | Some guy who took a picture
    Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read. FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times. The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it...

    An analysis published Sunday in the Washington Post of the emails found on Hillary Clinton’s private server included emails Hillary herself sent that contained classified information. That she should have known the information she herself put in these emails should be classified, and having the power herself to classify them, puts the lie to her claim that she is innocent of wrongdoing because others did not mark them classified.
  • Cruz: Media is sitting on bombshells about Donald Trump

    The Hill ^ | 3/6/2016 | Rebecca Savransky
    Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) said on Sunday that the media is sitting on explosive negative information about front-runner Donald Trump with plans to run it later in the year to tear the candidate apart. "I think an awful lot of reporters — I can't tell you how many media outlets I hear, you know, have this great exposé on Donald, on different aspects of his business dealings or his past, but they said, 'You know what? We're going to hold it to June or July,'" Cruz said on CBS's "Face The Nation" Sunday. "We're not going to...

    Following Thursday's Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump discussed an instance in which he had to hire foreign workers. "It's almost impossible to get help. And part of the reason that you can't get American people—you know, they want full-time jobs. This is a 4-month 5-month job." Watch the full clip here: ...

  • What Is Sanders Hiding?

    New York Sun ^ | Seth Lipsky
    It’s long been known that the only self-professed socialist in the Senate spent time on a kibbutz, or communal farm. Nothing wrong with that. But so tight-lipped has Mr. Sanders been about it that the Israeli daily Haaretz put its reporters on the mystery. “One of Israel’s best-kept secrets” is how the paper described the name of Mr. Sanders’ kibbutz. At one point it thought it had found the senator’s name in a kibbutz archive, but it turned out to be a Bernice Stamder. Haaretz finally solved the mystery last week, with the discovery, in its own files, of an...

    Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.” In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around. “I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era,” Trump said in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on Buzzfeed, “It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

The structure was so brutally transparent even the customarily obtuse punditry are having a hard time obfuscating.We have been pointing to the GOPe road-map for over two years. As each tripwire is crossed, the ridiculous justifications of those in denial necessarily increase; but that doesn’t mean we will stop pointing out the strings on the presidential marionette show.

    Conservative Review ^ | January 6, 2016 | Daniel Horowitz
    In an effort to draw attention to his Kim Kardashian-style vanity campaign, Ben Carson took his contrived outrage mongering against Cruz to a new level yesterday.  During one of his numerous media appearances over the past three days, which is more actual campaigning than he’s done for the past few months while he took a hiatus to sell books, Carson compared Cruz’s behavior in Iowa to Hillary following the Benghazi tragedy. Enough is enough.  If Carson wants to talk about the depths of deception and dishonesty he should “start looking at the man in the mirror.”I was born and bred...

That shows just how messed up Washington is, but it also shows why frustration is volcanic."...

    New York Post ^ | January 31, 2016 | 5:10am | Paul Sperry
    The State Department is lying when it says it didn’t know until it was too late that Hillary Clinton was improperly using personal e-mails and a private server to conduct official business — because it never set up an agency e-mail address for her in the first place, the department’s former top watchdog says. “This was all planned in advance” to skirt rules governing federal records management, said Howard J. Krongard, who served as the agency’s inspector general from 2005 to 2008.

    In May 2013, Huma Abedin and Anthony D. Weiner allowed filmmakers full access to his mayoral campaign with the hopes that the end result would document a spectacular political comeback, with Mr. Weiner being sworn in as mayor of New York having emerged from a scandal centered on explicit texting that forced him to resign from Congress. Things did not go quite according to plan. Instead, "Weiner," a new documentary that The New York Times was allowed to view exclusively ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, provides an unfettered look at the implosion of Mr....
  • Sanders: Bill Clinton’s sexual history not fair game

    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says attacks against former President Bill Clinton's sexual history are not fair game for politicians looking to defeat his wife and Democratic primary front-runner Hillary Clinton. "I think, you know, we have enormous problems facing this country, and I think we got more things to worry about than Bill Clinton's sexual life," Sanders said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump has recently made the sexual allegations against Clinton an issue in the White House race. Sanders said Trump would be better off focusing on serious issues facing the nation, like climate change.
  • Sanders: Bill Clinton's scandals 'totally disgraceful'

    The Hill ^ | 1/08/16 | Lisa Hagen
    Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday called Bill Clinton's sexual scandals "totally disgraceful and unacceptable" but said he would not use the former president's infidelities against Hillary Clinton. Sanders' comments came after an Iowa town hall attendee raised Bill Clinton's affair in the White House and questioned if Hillary Clinton was qualified to be president, the Washington Post reported. "My question to you is, isn't one of the qualifications to be president to have some kind of moral authority?," the attendee asked Sanders. "I mean, how can you tell a Secret Service agent that he has to be fired for...

    The Atlantic ^ | 1-7-16 | David A. Graham
    Amid all the scandals related to the Clinton family, Bill Clinton's sex scandals were supposed to be a dead letter. After all, the former president weathered impeachment proceedings in the late 1990s-in fact, Hillary Clinton's popularity soared at the time. As those events receded, Bill Clinton became one of the most popular politicians in America, a smiling, drawling avatar of the happy, carefree 1990s. There were questions about how the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign might use her husband, and whether he'd be an asset or a liability (as he was in 2008), but sex wasn't in the picture. This week,...

    Political News & Commentary Bill Clinton Campaigns, And His Sexual Baggage May Tag Along BY THOMAS MCARDLE 01/04/2016 01:53 PM ET Considering how unexpectedly well she's weathering the ServerGate scandal (with an invaluable assist from dead-on rival Bernie Sanders), the search for Hillary Clinton's Achilles' heel may be fruitless. But what about her other heel -- as in "a contemptibly dishonorable or irresponsible person"? Former President Bill Clinton, who goes solo on the New Hampshire campaign trail on behalf of his wife for the first time this week, is supposedly the ex-first lady's secret weapon. His speech to the 2012...
