Republican front-runner Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested that Vice President Joe Biden would run if Hillary Clinton were indicted and put on trial for her handling of her email while secretary of state. “If she – for instance, gets indicted – if she has to go on trial, they’re going to have Biden or somebody else come in, we’ll see what happens. I wouldn’t mind that either,” Trump said in an interview with radio host Simon Conway, boasting that he didn’t think Biden would do well. “But he could come in. I’ve heard of numerous people. But I have a...

The old lions of the conservative movement-leaders with direct ties to the 1960 signing of the Sharon Statement by 90 members of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) at William F. Buckley's residence-are uniting around the presidential campaign of Sen. Ted Cruz with passionate endorsements of his candidacy.82-year-old Richard Viguerie, the pioneer in direct-mail fundraising, makes the conservative political case for Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign with the vigor and energy of a man five decades younger.“Ted Cruz is the best conservative candidate since Ronald Reagan,” Viguerie tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.“He’s what we've waited for ever since Reagan....

Yes, you read that right. According to Ted Cruz, the so-called Republican establishment is abandoning Florida senator Marco Rubio and uniting behind real-estate mogul Donald Trump. Cruz has long said the Republican primary would come down to two candidates, one a conservative, the other an establishment moderate. Now that Cruz and Trump are leading the polls, he's trying his hardest to paint Trump as the latter. "We're seeing something remarkable happening in this Republican primary," the Texas senator told reporters on Wednesday. "Right now, the Washington establishment is abandoning Marco Rubio, they’ve made the assessment that Marco can’t win this...

Hillary Clinton’s spokesman accused the Intelligence Community Inspector General Wednesday of working with Republicans to attack the Democratic presidential front-runner. “I think this was a very coordinated leak,” Brian Fallon said on CNN. “Two months ago there was a...report that directly challenged the finding of this inspector general, and I don’t think he liked that very much. So I think that he put two Republican senators up to sending him a letter so that he would have an excuse to resurface the same allegations he made back in the summer that have been discredited.” The comments came after Inspector General...

Germany was named the best country in the world on Wednesday. The results of a new Best Countries project were released during the 2016 meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. According to the U.S. News & World Report, Germany is the best country in the world out of a list of the top 10. Since the early 1980s, the U.S. News & World Report has been known for ranking schools, hospitals, and automobiles. However, the publication recently partnered with BAV Consulting and the Wharton School of Business to figure out which country out of nearly 200 countries worldwide...

Donald Trump holds a 20-point lead in the New Hampshire Republican primary, a new CNN/WMUR poll shows. Behind him, there's still a scrum for second place -- with support for No. 2, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, on the rise. Trump is backed by 34% of those likely to vote in New Hampshire's February 9 GOP primary, more than double his nearest contender, Cruz, who has 14% support.

Vice President Biden on Wednesday offered criticism of "socialism" during a speech abroad, seemingly a shot at Bernie Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist and Democratic candidate for president. Biden made the remark in a keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where he called for "a more progressive tax code" and a strengthening of the middle class. "Keeping billions of dollars in offshore tax havens might be good for your shareholders, but it robs your own country," Biden told those in attendance at the international event. Biden called on corporate executives to shift their tactics and put a...

One America News Network and Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 1,197 registered voters in New Hampshire regarding the presidential election and other areas. The sample includes 689 Republican Primary participants, 472 Democratic Primary participants, and the remainder not planning on participating in the primary, but are planning to vote in the regular elections. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.8% [3.7% for Republican Primary/4.5% for Democratic Primary] at the 95% confidence level. The poll was conducted from January 15th through the 18th. The total may not round to 100% because of...

Hillary Clinton has brushed off an array of damaging reports about her email scandal as conspiracy theories which only heightens her untrustworthy image, MSNBC's Morning Joe panel said Wednesday. "Her problem is that she's attacked the New York Times. This was a conspiracy from the New York Times, and now, you know, it's the Inspector General from the intel agencies that doesn't want her to get elected president," host Joe Scarborough said. "Voters aren't going to buy that."

Demands return of dummy Hellfire missile Congress may consider blocking the United States and Cuba from conducting joint security exercises until the Obama administration can prove the communist regime has dialed back its anti-American efforts, according to a letter sent to the Pentagon and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas), a leading critic of the administration's detente with Cuba, petitioned Secretary of Defense Ash Carter on Wednesday, demanding that he disinvite Cuba from the upcoming Caribbean Nations Security Conference, which will be held later this month in Jamaica. Cruz is concerned about recent reports that Cuba...

Explanation: The eggs from this gigantic chicken may form into stars. The featured emission nebula, shown in scientifically assigned colors, is cataloged as IC 2944 but known as the Running Chicken Nebula for the shape of its greater appearance. Seen toward the top of the image are small, dark molecular clouds rich in obscuring cosmic dust. Called Thackeray's Globules for their discoverer, these "eggs" are potential sites for the gravitational condensation of new stars, although their fates are uncertain as they are also being rapidly eroded away by the intense radiation from nearby young stars. Together with patchy glowing gas...

But Mr Trump said he had been impressed by an earlier interview on Fox News in which someone said, “What do we do with BET, Black Entertainment? Right? So, there the whites don’t get any nominations.” Donald Trump has criticised the growing campaign to boycott this year's Oscars over the Academy's failure to nominate black actors, saying that African Americans have been nominated previously – and noting that they have their own awards.

The African-American actress went so far as to call for the abolition of Black History Month and any other institution celebrating racial differences — even as the uproar over the lack of diversity among this year’s Oscar nominees is building. “We have to make up our minds,” the actress-turned-conservative-pundit said on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends.” “Either we want to have segregation or integration. And if we don't want segregation, then we need to get rid of channels like BET and the BET Awards and the Image Awards where you're only awarded if you're black.

By now everyone is well aware of Donald Trump's injection of raw racism into the election campaign. It is a tribute to the U.S. people that many from all walks of life have stood up and rejected Trump's hate mongering. The AFL-CIO in the first place has challenged Mr. Trump demanding he cease and desist. Muslims have a been particularly targeted by the GOP front runner. In response Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota has sent an open letter to Trump renouncing his call to ban all Muslims from the U.S. As Rep Ellison points out, the billionaire Republican's demagogy hurts...

Three people are facing several charges after allegedly trying to carjack a mother. Surveillance cameras were rolling when two masked men sprinted toward a van at a gas station in Hialeah. The female driver immediately locked herself inside the vehicle, so the would-be car thieves spotted another target. The men immediately jumped into a red car, but they had no idea the driver was prepared to fight. “She was a mom, and what the bad guy didn’t know, in the back seat of that car were two kids,” Carl Zogby, with the Hialeah Police Department, told WSVN. “She wasn’t gonna...

Sarah Palin got a rock star's welcom in Tulsa, Oklahma on Wednesday as she told a crowd of 10,000 that America is 'going to go to hell in a handbasket' and urged them in her trademark twang to vote on 'Soooper Tooooosday.' Palin endorsed Trump in a stream-of-consciousness stemwinder Tuesday during a rally in Ames, Iowa. The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee was a no-show Wednesday morning at a smaller campaign stop in Norwalk, Iowa, as rumors swirled that a one-day political romance might already have turned sour. But she spoke for nearly 20 minutes in Tulsa at the Mabee...

Parents, beware — Big Brother is coming for your kids. Buried deep inside the mammoth “bipartisan” so-called “education” legislation approved last month, dubbed the “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA), is a radical expansion of what the statute refers to as “full-service community schools.” The controversial institutions, more accurately described as parental replacement centers, seek to oversee every aspect of your child's life, ranging from their “mental health” and “well being” to nutrition and even dentistry. You are in the crosshairs, too, as the Obama administration defines parents as “equal partners” in child rearing. And those are just some of the many...

When Ben Carson was rising in the polls, Donald Trump was quick to attack the former neurosurgeon for being "pro-abortion not so long ago." The attack was more than a bit hypocritical because Trump himself was "very" pro-abortion not so long ago. In 1999, Tim Russert asked Trump if he would support a ban on "abortion in the third-trimester" or "partial-birth abortion." "No," Trump replied. "I am pro-choice in every respect." Trump explained his views may be the result of his "New York background." Now that Ted Cruz has attacked Trump's "New York values," Trump's views on abortion will be...

In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare...

Wynn began by talking about the most recent Democratic debate on Sunday night. “Bernie Sanders,” Wynn said. “God bless him, that moron.” When hosting an event like the October Democratic debate, Wynn said he did not want to stake out positions because the casino’s employees and their families have a range of political views. “But Bernie Sanders is an exception,” he said of the candidate. “You can’t let him get away with the crap (he says). The man is older than I am and nothing has rubbed off on him. He has not the first idea of how the country...
