Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Monday his FBI sources had informed him they are ready to bring charges against Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information. "I have friends in the FBI, and they tell me they're ready to indict," DeLay said during an appearance on Newsmax's "Steve Malzberg Show." "They also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they're going public," the Texas Republican added. Clinton has denied ever sending or receiving anything marked classified since the FBI opened an investigation into her private email network in August.

Margaret Thatcher, when she was British Prime Minister, used a simple formula to describe the economic freedoms due to a properly free people: "A man's right to work as he will, to spend what he earns, to own property, to have the state as servant and not as master." This was, in her view, "the British inheritance." Her thinking, influenced by centuries of English jurisprudence and political philosophy, provides a modern statement of the same rights that America's founders sought to bestow upon their posterity. Thatcher's phrase embodies the conservative view of the role of government and of citizens' rights...

Among Iowa Republican Caucus-goers, 24 percent say they "would definitely not support" Trump, with 24 percent who would not support former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. Only 12 percent say 'no way' to Cruz. "Despite Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump and Gov. Terry Branstad's criticism of Sen. Ted Cruz, and despite - or because of - Sen. Cruz' 'New York values' comments, the Iowa Republican Caucus remains too close to call," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll. "One week before the caucuses gather, the question is which candidate has the best field organization. If the...

New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina primary tabs are at the top of the form.My experience with this kind of betting is that the odds don't begin to solidify until the primary gets close...and we are getting pretty close to Iowa.

Two of the most dangerous apocalyptic Muslim groups-that strongly believe in establishment of a global Islamic state and believe in annihilation of non-Muslim nations-are the Islamic State and the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran. They both share the same fatal ideology and mission with some minor differences. They believe that this is the end of the times for non-Muslims, and that they should prepare the world for the coming of the Imam Mahdi (also known as Muhammad al Mahdi) who would establish Islamic rule around the world and clean up the planet from those who do not...

Hillary had another massive coughing attack yesterday while speaking in Des Moines. Her recent coughing attacks: a. are symptomatic of her advanced stage of alcoholism b. only happen when she tells the truth c. are caused by hairballs d. are common side-effects of anti-psychotic medications e. all of the above Robert Seyko's photo

People of Europe, you are importing a regressive culture. Sure there are some civilized, intelligent, good hearted people among the refugees but the fact of the matter is that way more people are using this Syrian war crisis as an excuse to get into your countries illegally. Don't be fooled, those are not scholars, those people do not appreciate your culture, they are not thankful, they are violent and will take over your countries, count on it. Stand up for your rights! If you don't, your kids will live in a 3rd world country where white Europeans will be discriminated...

I am a conservative and have been all my life. I don’t need the snot-nosed, elitist pukes at National Review to “help me” out of my error. I support Donald Trump. People like the bunch at National Review have given us sure losers from Tom Dewey to Gerald Ford to the Bushes, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney. They have done incalculable damage to America with their pointy headed elitism; now all that stops in November with the election of Donald Trump. That I am beside myself with anger at the nerve of this bunch doesn’t begin to explain...

Good morning from Iowa, where premium gasoline is $1.67 a gallon at Git-n-Go, and where a warming trend has arrived, which could last through the caucuses six days from now, favoring a strong turnout. There are mounting signs these caucuses may go into the record books for turnout, at least on the Republican side. Tami Jorgensen, who works for the auditor of the predominantly conservative Warren County, told me she was astonished at how many people had called asking for the location of their precinct's caucuses. -snip- Where's Jeb Bush? You know who is not here? Jeb Bush, who has...

An active shooter was reported at Navy Medical Center San Diego Tuesday morning, the organization stated on social media. The shooter was “just reported” in building No. 26, located at 34800 Bob Wilson Dr., the center said on Facebook just after 8 a.m. “All occupants are advised to run, hide or fight,” the post warned. Non-emergency personnel were asked to stay away from the compound. Additional information was not immediately known. The facility has a staff of more than 6,500 military and civilian personnel, and aims to provide medical care to military service members, their families, and those who served...

Compulsive liars lie with ease and without guilt. Often they are so caught up in their lies that they don't realize the distinction between fact and fiction. Their lies may be plausible on the surface, requiring some effort to disprove. Often the lies present the liar in a favorable or flattering light or else seek to hide failure. Does Hillary Clinton fit this picture? Hillary Clinton has a long history of tall tales. Some designed to make her appear brave, such as her lie about coming under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia in 1996. Others connected her to...

Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., the son of the late televangelist, endorsed Donald Trump on Tuesday, giving Republican front-runner the blessing of one of the evangelical community’s biggest names just days before the Iowa caucuses.

It was no more than a minor blip on the ecclesiastical screen. So minor, in fact, that many Catholic news agencies didn't even pick it up. This past October, to very little fanfare, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), in conjunction with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), announced the publication of a joint document titled "Declaration of the Way: Church, Ministry, and the Eucharist." Released in preparation for the five hundredth anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2017, the 118-page declaration was the result of a dialogue between members of ELCA and the U.S. bishops' Committee...

In the century of stupidity in which we now live, the opening remarks of just about any authority figure and/or journalist covering an act of jihad are likely to contain a pronouncement of what the act is not.  And what they claim it isn’t is just about always what it is.  What it is = jihad, Islamic terror, Islamic supremacy, Quran-inspired violence against non-believers, barbaric 7th-century practices.  Take your pick.  It all leads to the same dark place. So recently, when a colonizer stabbed a Swedish woman to death, the rule noted above was on display, as CNN’s report...

WASHINGTON (SINCLAIR BROADCAST GROUP) — A possible active shooter was reported in a building at the Naval Medical Center San Diego Tuesday, according to a post on the medical center's official Facebook page.

Chairman of the Benghazi Select Committee Trey Gowdy says the results of the Committee will be "eye-opening" and "surprising." Appearing on the Hugh Hewitt Show on Monday, Hewitt asked Gowdy, "Do you believe the question has been asked and answered adequately, yet, as to whether or not assets were proximate and available that night to come to the assistance to the people under attack in Benghazi?" "Hugh, I will tell you this. When we issue our report, and hopefully, it is coming sooner rather than later, I think that part of our investigation is going to be the most eye-opening,...

A new Massachusetts gun permit essay rule has Second Amendment supporters seeing red. Gun owners in the state must now write an essay which will be “graded” for approval by the police chief before a carry permit can be issued. A hefty firearms training price tag up to $1,100 will also be levied against those attempting to exercise their right to bear arms in the city of Lowell. Lowell, Massachusetts, is located about 35 miles north of Boston and is home to some 110,000 people. The gun essay law was the brainchild of Police Chief William Taylor and approved by...
