Well, it would appear our hunch was correct. If Trump was going to pull off a “reverse Castellano’s“, Caesar needed Brutus to feel comfortable enough to come close… The problem for Speaker Ryan was a lack of muti-dimensional situational awareness, and the abject inability to escape President Trump’s political gravity. Breitbart Media, with transparent coordination between Matthew Boyle, Steve Bannon and President Trump delivers the shiv right on cue.

The announcement from Donald Trump's campaign that the Republican frontrunner will "definitely not" partake in Thursday night's Fox News debate has sent shock waves throughout the nation’s political scene. At a press event Tuesday evening, Trump seemed to cite disparate treatment from the network as his reasoning for not participating. "What’s wrong over there, something’s wrong," Trump said of the "games" Roger Ailes and the network are "playing." In asking the question of "what’s wrong over there?" Trump has shined a spotlight on one of Washington's best kept secrets: namely, Fox's role via its founder Rupert Murdoch in pushing an...

The latest poll results from Rasmussen weren't cheered by the GOP establishment, which has been holding its breath for months, hoping that the frontrunner would fade and allow someone more willing to toe the establishment's line to come to the fore. The poll, taken last week, wasn't encouraging: 63 percent of Likely Republican Voters think Donald Trump will be the Republican Party's nominee for president (up from 59 percent the week before), while 51 percent of all likely voters agree. Trump's claim that President Obama's decision to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the United States next year is the "ultimate...

In the 1998 video (linked below) of Obama saying "I actually believe in redistribution," he also said he was looking for a "trick" to structure government in a more effective way to accomplish that redistribution of wealth, but he also criticized Chicago public schools and the Chicago Housing authority which is the perfect opportunity, less than two months away from election day, to remind us of how Obama and his cronies work when it comes to housing, schools, and his commitment to both... In the video Obama said the the Chicago Housing Authority "has not been a model of good...

RUSH: I am starting to sense it. I am starting to see it. When I sense it, when I see it, it probably is true. That's been my track record. I think I detect the media heading into damage control on the Herman Cain story. A lot of media are. This day five now, and still nobody knows what he did. Not a single media outlet can report what he did! Some are even suggesting that The Politico had no business running this story. These are other journalists who are beginning to say this. ... The media is also in...

Harry Reid is the slimiest politician ever to crawl out of Salt Lake. Like most liberal socialist leaders today, he has a serious God complex. He and his fellow libs are going to federalize 1/6th of the US economy, they are going to take over healthcare, and they are going to cram this down our throats whether we want it or not. They are our betters and they will do what they want, regardless of what the people tell them. Damn the doctors. Damn the middle class. Damn the small business person. Damn the people who like their current healthcare....

Challenge may be death blow for Murtha rival BY MIKE FAHER The Tribune-Democrat February 22, 2008 — William Russell’s campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. John Murtha could meet an untimely end. A challenge filed in the state’s Commonwealth Court claims that Russell, a Johnstown Republican, does not have enough valid petition signatures to get his name on the April 22 primary ballot. If Russell were deemed ineligible, that would leave Murtha – a Democrat who has served 34 years in the House – with no opposition in this year’s elections. “Certainly, I intend to fight this,” Russell said Thursday. A...

6/7/04: AWB renewal now on Senate calendar. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has once again introduced legislation to renew the so-called "assault weapons" ban. S.2498 was introduced last week, and, by using a "nuclear option" referred to as Rule XIV, has gotten the bill placed on the Senate calendar. As a Senate educational article on the subject puts it, "Most bills are routinely referred to the committee with appropriate jurisdiction as soon as they are introduced. But if a Senator plans to introduce a bill and believes that the committee to which it would be referred will be unsympathetic, Rule XIV...
