Some time ago I said that many establishment Republicans dislike Ted Cruz so much that they would even back their nemesis, Donald Trump, if necessary to keep Cruz from winning. This is one time I wish I had been wrong. The establishment has long held Cruz in contempt but didn’t believe he had any realistic chance of securing the GOP nomination. Now, with his campaign success, he’s scaring their pants off. Former Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole has issued apocalyptic warnings against nominating Cruz, and I’ve just received an email that Sen. Orrin Hatch prefers Trump over Cruz as well...

Donald Trump on Friday morning released a new campaign ad that accuses Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of flip-flopping on immigration and supporting "amnesty." The 60-second television spot starts with a Fox News interview between Bret Baier and Cruz from late last year in which Baier grilled Cruz on his comments about the immigration reform bill in 2013. "It sounded like you wanted the bill to pass," Baier told Cruz in December. Cruz stumbled and mumbled before responding, "Of course I wanted the bill to pass, what — my amendment to pass, what my amendment did is take citizenship off the...

When China attacks, maybe Wal-Mart employees can go on unemployment in the City of San Pedro, home of the Port of Los Angeles.

  Retired Gen. David Petraeus is reportedly facing a possible retroactive demotion: US Secretary of Defense Ash Carter is reportedly mulling personally demoting retired four-star general David Petraeus for disclosing classified data. The former US commander in Iraq and CIA Director would then be liable to return hundreds of thousands of dollars of his pension. The ongoing deliberations were confirmed to The Daily Beast by three senior Pentagon officials. Petraeus, once considered a war hero for the successful US troop surge in Iraq in 2007 and 2008, and even a potential Republican presidential candidate, is currently on a two-year probation,...

In a brand new Zogby Analytics poll of likely GOP caucus and primary voters, Donald Trump receives 45% of the total vote, with Ted Cruz in a distant second place at 13%, followed by Marco Rubio with 8%, Jeb Bush 6%, Ben Carson 4%, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich tied with 3%, and Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum all tied with 2%. Ten percent are undecided.

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz has praised Donald Trump for making illegal immigration a central issue of the Republican presidential race, but in an exclusive interview with ABC News, Cruz said that Trump's immigration plan amounts to amnesty. "So Donald Trump's position is once you deport them, it's what's called touchback. A lot of establishment Republicans had touchback," Cruz said in an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos. "Basically you make them fly back to their country for a minute, touch the ground, and then they come back with amnesty as citizens. Now, Donald is entitled to do that. He can...

The racial dogwhistle has been an important political technique in recent decades-- a carefully coded message, designed to tap into racial prejudices without the unwitting target realizing that this is what is happening. Tali Mendelberg has argued that such techniques gain their force from twinned but countervailing forces: there is a Norm of Racial Egalitarianism, which brands outright expression of racism unacceptable. But there is also, in most white people, a high level of what is called 'racial resentment', simmering unacknowledged and unarticulated. A dogwhistle utterance exploits this: by talking about 'the culture of the inner city' or 'welfare' a...

GREENBRIER, Ark. Recent high school graduate Anthony Bauswell wanted to join the U.S. Marines, but contends he was rejected by a recruiter because of the color of his skin. On his left rib cage Bauswell has a Confederate flag tattoo, with a banner across it reading “Southern Pride,” and he told Arkansas Matters that the Marines recruiting center in Conway insists it disqualifies him from serving his country.

CDC estimates the number of gastroschisis cases between 1995 to 2012 has increased, most prevalently among young, non-Hispanic black mothers, who saw a 263 percent increase in cases during that time period. While young maternal age has long been associated with the condition, researchers don’t know the cause of the increase in cases among all the ages and ethnicities they reviewed. "It concerns us that we don't know why more babies are being born with this serious birth defect," Coleen Boyle, Ph.D., director of CDC’s National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities, said in a news release. "Public health...

Lonely-hearts reactionary David Brooks, writing this week in the New York Times, describes the angst and despair of the old Republican leadership, as it watches the Trump/Cruz nativist revolution: "Members of the Republican governing class are like cowering freshmen at halftime of a high school football game. Some are part of the Surrender Caucus, sitting sullenly on their stools resigned to the likelihood that their team is going to get crushed. Some are thinking of jumping ship to the Trump campaign... "Rarely has a party so passively accepted its own self-destruction." Farther down in his piece, Brooks trumpets a call...

Has weird title. Great video of Palin talking about Cruz and the shutdown of the government over the (UN)affordable healthcare act. This video is worth watching.

... "We have to come to our senses collectively," Bozell, president of the Media Research Center, told Fox News' Martha MacCallum on the "America's Newsroom" program. "There is fury, absolute fury against Washington for years of betrayal, especially from the Republican establishment. I share in that. I don't think there is anybody that has been more furious than I have been, but you just can't tap into that and into that vein and pretend that you are going to do something about it when in fact you have a record, a real record of being the opposite on everything." ...

Charlotte Rampling has waded into the Oscars 2016 diversity row, claiming the debate is "racist to whites". The British actress, who received a best actress nod for her role in 45 Years, suggests that perhaps performances from the black actors snubbed from the nominations list were not good enough to be recognised. Hollywood has been up in arms since the Academy Award nominations were announced on 14 January, with several black actors including Michael B Jordan, Idris Elba and Will Smith, failing to receive nominations despite putting on acclaimed performances. In an interview with French radio station Europe 1, Rampling...

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may be called upon to testify in U.S. Army Sgt. Robert Bowdrie “Bowe” Bergdahl’s summer trial because Bergdahl’s lawyers are concerned that Trump’s inflammatory comments regarding the court-martial may have damaged Bergdahl’s chances for a “fair” and “impartial” trial.

On the scale of human transgressions, littering probably doesn’t rise much above a white lie. Yes, it creates an eyesore but it seldom actually does any harm, and as such, many communities regard it as a simple civil infraction. But in Michigan, cities and townships can set their own criminal statutes and the result can be a hodgepodge of offenses and punishments. For example, if you miss the trash can in Ann Arbor, you could be guilty of a crime. It could be as unintentional as a plastic bag being blown out of your hand by a strong wind, but...

Games such as Mass Effect, Gears of War and Halo: Reach frequently suffer from lower frame rates or frame rate dips and drops, owing to the vertical sync that negates screen tearing but in the process brings this problem. This issue usually occurs when the gameplay has plenty of action and movement from the on-screen characters. The action tends to put more stress on the tri-core CPU of the Xbox 360, and even more on the Xbox One, which attempts to simulate the architecture. The frame drops also lead to the problems with the controls. The report reveals that the...

Washington Times and Breitbart columnist Charles Hurt reacts to the the cover story of this week's National Review: Conservatives Against Trump. The story features conservatives of various stripes (including Glenn Beck, Thomas Sowell, and Brent Bozell) explaining why Donald Trump's "shoot-from-the-hip, bombastic showoff" personality is the "last thing we need as president."
