Ted Cruz is a really smart guy. This is one of the biggest reasons Ted is polling high in the GOP presidential race. Cruz graduated valedictorian from high school, cum laude from Princeton University and magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. Then he served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Solicitor General of Texas. Can you spot why this picture from one of his campaign stops is going viral? ...That might not be a bad campaign slogan. Ted Cruz 2016: More Stuff Upstairs...

About 60 drawings and hieroglyphic inscriptions, dating back around 5,000 years, have been discovered at a site called Wadi Ameyra in Egypt’s Sinai Desert. Carved in stone they were created by mining expeditions sent out by early Egyptian pharaohs archaeologists say. They reveal new information on the early pharaohs. For instance, one inscription the researchers found tells of a queen named Neith-Hotep who ruled Egypt 5,000 years ago as regent to a young pharaoh named Djer. Archaeologists estimate that the earliest carvings at Wadi Ameyra date back around 5,200 years, while the most recent date to the reign of a...

It has been a little over a week since I've put out some presidential percentages, mainly because there was not a lot of change the last 7 days. Yesterday and today, there has been quite a significant change. Running the simulation, with the newest poll numbers from around 20 new polls, we get this: Hillary Clinton - 45.5% (-4.5%) Donald Trump - 34.9% (+13.9%) Bernie Sanders - 17.1% (+2.5%) Marco Rubio - 1.4% (-10.1%) Ted Cruz - 1.0% (-1.9%) Others - <.1% (-.1%) Hillary Clinton still has the best shot of becoming president, but she is less than a coin...

Palin endorses Trump: No-one will be more visibly filled with elitist too-cute-by-half smarm than FOX's Megyn Kelly, or Nicole Wallace, or Kathleen Parker. And no-one will be more visibly filled with rabid hatred than the same Wall Street cocktail class GOPe crew... The same professional political class (GOPe) voices who accused Donald Trump of sexism, misogyny and vitriol, will now be baited to the surface to expose their sexism, misogyny, vitriol and elitism. Watch... There are trillions at stake, and the endorsement of Sarah Palin identifies a very specific strategy. Donald Trump will campaign for office, Sarah Palin will campaign...

The conservative apologists for Donald Trump, and sadly there are some, protest that using his 1999 interview with the late Tim Russert, in which Trump vividly and unabashedly lays out his New York City liberalism, isn’t fair game given the time elapsed since then. Fair enough. Being that it was sixteen years ago... - See more at: https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/01/deace-donald-trump-a-typical-new-york-city-liberal-then-and-now#sthash.wqGndSaX.dpuf

2015 ended and 2016 began with the space program on the cusp of tremendous and potentially very positive change. Congress gave NASA a great Christmas present in the form of a $1.3 billion budget increase. The perennial argument between advocates of commercial space and supporters of space exploration was settled. The commercial crew program, designed to build NASA-funded, commercially operated spacecraft that will return crewed space flight capability to the United States was fully funded for the first time. The heavy lift Space Launch System, the center of NASA’s plans to explore deep space, also received lavish amounts of money....

With respect it was not inapropriate. It was reporting what a high ranking republican operative called people supporting Trump. It was vulgar, but was reported. This shows us exactly what they think of people tired of the rino, gop-er, vichy republican leadership and their phony do-nothing kabuki candidates. It is EVIDENCE. It is their true colors. It is their words. And it shows their desperation. And it shows they really have nothing much left to play.

A 1943 Planned Parenthood list of goals included: “Foster selective pregnancy… and… seek to offer the eugenically unsound means to avoid bringing offspring into the world who would become social liabilities.” Another outline in 1945 read: “The weak and defective compose an alarming proportion of our present population… [The solution is] providing reliable contraceptive advice for those who, because of disease, defective, or deficiency, are unfitting to bear children.” Robert Marshall, Charles Donovan Blessed Are the Barren: The Social Policy of Planned Parenthood (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1991) 280 Quoted in Brian E Fisher Abortion: The Ultimate Exploitation of Women...

It's rare that game shows get away with not forking out at least some cash, but that's what happened on Jeopardy! when the final clue bamboozled gambling contestants. The popular US programme has been on the air since the 1960s and sees contestants answer questions based on a range of subjects, like history, current affairs, art, and literature. But on Monday the show's three contestants were not so lucky, or capable, as they bet a total of $33,600 only to lose out on a question involving school segregation. The offending clue was: "A 1957 event led to the creation of...

The Donald Trump-Ted Cruz battle for the GOP presidential nomination is a "good heavyweight fight" -- but while most believe the brawling billionaire will trounce the Texas senator, Cruz in no way should be underestimated, Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, tells Newsmax TV. "Cruz has a little better chance to win this fight with Trump than most people think. Most people think Trump is going to steamroll him," Kristol said Tuesday on "The Steve Malzberg Show." "I think Cruz is pretty tough and pretty able at this kind of infighting, but it's a heck of a fight I...

Everyone wants to support American vets and when you hear about the great work Wounded Warriors Project does for our own American vets, well, … you just can’t fight the urge to dig deep and give to support the cause. But who/what are you really supporting? Not so much the vets…. DC Clothesline: In the first version of this article, I used the 2012-2013 Wounded Warrior Project 990 Tax Forms. This updated version is using the 2013-2014 Wounded Warrior Project 990 Tax Forms. (Thank you, David Isakson, for all of your assistance) I had made some errors in my original...

It saddens me greatly to say that Sarah Palin is wrong. She needs to be standing by Ted Cruz’s side and supporting his proven record of long-time support for pro-life/pro-marriage/pro-family issues. Instead, she has chosen to support Donald Trump whose “record” and lifestyle are anything but conservative. Yesterday, Steve Deace said it best with supportive documentation to substantiate his choice of a title — “Donald Trump, a Typical New York City Liberal Then and Now” – Conservative Review — https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/01/deace-donald-trump-a-typical-new-york-city-liberal-then-and-now Today I decided to go back through my Ted Cruz files and make a list of those people who have...

Take a look back at some of the most popular TV programs of the mid-1960s -- "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Bewitched," even "The Beverly Hillbillies" -- and what do you see? Like today, middle-class Americans typically had washing machines and air-conditioning, telephones and cars. The Internet and video games were not yet invented. But life, over all, did not look that different. There were TVs and radios in most homes. Millions of people worked in downtown offices and lived in suburbs, connected by multilane highways. Americans' average life expectancy at birth was 70, only eight years less than it...

MSNBC "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough said Tuesday that if any other candidate had the lead that Donald Trump has, "the mainstream media would have called this race over." Scarborough told the panel that the race is coming down to "who can get the wild card berth for the playoffs. The fact is, Donald Trump is so far ahead in every one of these polls. Massively ahead." Bloomberg's Mark Halperin interjected that Trump is the "number one seed." "Let's just state the obvious," Scarborough said. Trump is "the number one seed. Number one, undefeated. Let's just state the obvious. If...

Mr. L explains Palin's endorsement of Trump.

A man helping campaign for U.S. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has died after being injured in a car accident in Iowa on Tuesday, according to a statement from a hospital in Omaha, Nebraska, released by Carson's campaign. Campaign volunteer Braden Joplin, 25, died in Nebraska Medical Center after being admitted in critical condition following the accident in Atlantic, Iowa, the statement said.
