    The Culture of Death has gained a strong foothold in America over the passivity of the dominant Christian population. It’s time to stand up and put an end to it. This book is a powerful weapon for the culture wars. “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants…” (Deut 30:19) This is a very simple guide for the Christian voter—don’t vote for the party and people who champion the Culture of...

    “It is so great to be back in New Hampshire. I have developed such deep affection for this state and for its people. My first victory took place here. Over the next 74 days, we are all going to work very hard together to win this state – just like we did in the primaries – and to win the White House for the American people. Our victory is going to be a victory for the great majority of Americans whose voice has not been heard. Year after year, we live under a Washington regime that ignores your demands, rejects...

    The famously anti-Trump TV host Jorge Ramos comments on the Republican candidate's 'pivot.' "If he wants to flip-flop on immigration, I think it is already too late," Ramos said Tuesday. "The fact is, Trump still wants to deport millions of people," the 'Fusion' host said. "He has insulted Mexican immigrnts and he has questioned a judge's capacity based on his ethnic origin." "73% of Latinos, according to a Univision poll, think he is a racist," Ramos added. "No, Trump hasn't changed. And to prove that, take a look at [the campaign's first TV ad]." (snip) ".... Some people defend Trump,...

    CNN ^ | August 23, 2016 | Gregory Krieg
    As Donald Trump and his allies attempt to raise dubious questions over Hillary Clinton's health, the Republican nominee has invited new scrutiny into his own medical history. Like Clinton, Trump has released minimal information, most notably in the form of a December 2015 letter of a few paragraphs from his personal physician, a gastroenterologist, that described his blood pressure and lab results as "astonishingly excellent" while suggesting a President Trump would be the "healthiest individual ever elected." Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, found much of that language surprising and, in some cases, almost comically lacking in objective data....

    BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: There's so many confusing things out there. There's literally no energy in her campaign. She doesn't draw flies. She can't attract and hold a crowd whatsoever. And when people do show up, they're bored silly. fiWhen it's 95 degrees and every woman in the picture is wearing tank tops and shorts, Hillary is decked out like it's wintertime in Moscow. She's got her Nehru jacket or Mao jacket on, she's got long slacks, practically gloves. It's the weirdest looking thing, and always standing under an umbrella or a tent to shield herself from the sun. And yet...

    There were two types of people who attended CPAC in March 2016 and gave Speaker Paul “Omnibus” Ryan (the former chair of the budget, well, actually, non-budget committee) a standing ovation. Type one was the professional political class, the UniParty membership, the GOPe; those who happily welcomed Omnibus and who gleefully ignore the seventh spending of the nearly $1 trillion, “one-time” 2009 stimulus bill. Type two, was those who are overcome with battered conservative syndrome and see nothing wrong with giving thanks to their abuser. One of those attendees was the former partner of GOPe mouthpiece Frank Luntz, and current...

    KIRSTEN POWERS, CNN: I guess I have to ask why is there any concern about her health? And the only reason there is any concern about her health is because Donald Trump has sort of started his trutherism on Hillary Clinton's health. There's nothing to suggest she doesn't have stamina. I mean, honestly, I don't even know if I could do the schedule that she keeps. There's nothing to suggest that she has any kind of problems with her stamina, with her health, with her mental health. CAMEROTA: Well, she had that fall. I mean, this is the thing. She...

    Washington Post ^ | Aug. 23, 2016 | Andrea Peterson
    Hillary Clinton has been tired of talking about her private email server for a long time. When a reporter asked the Democratic presidential candidate about the story’s staying power as she walked away from a terse news conference in August 2015, the politician threw up her hands in exasperation. “Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys,” she hollered back. But a year later — and with just over three months until the election — Clinton is still being plagued by her decision to use a personal email account for work during her tenure as secretary of state....

    Donald Trump is pledging that as president, he would appoint a special prosecutor to probe the financial dealings of The Clinton Foundation. Trump said Monday that the Department of Justice had “acted unethically” in probing Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. He also said the Justice Department and the FBI “can’t be trusted” to investigate the foundation after declining to prosecute Clinton over the email scandal. He criticized Attorney General Loretta Lynch for meeting privately with former President Bill Clinton as the department’s probe was underway.

    Hillary Clinton is the defender of the corrupt and rigged status quo. The Clintons have spent decades as insiders lining their own pockets and taking care of donors instead of the American people. It is now clear that the Clinton Foundation is the most corrupt enterprise in political history. What they were doing during Crooked Hillary’s time as Secretary of State was wrong then, and it is wrong now. It must be shut down immediately. – Donald J. Trump

    Continuing with the narrative that Hillary Clinton is unfit to be president, Rudy Giuliani, an adviser with Donald Trump's campaign, claimed Sunday there are videos online that show Clinton has an illness. Giuliani said on "Fox News Sunday" that Clinton has "an entire media that constantly demonizes Donald Trump." The former New York City mayor went on to say the media fail to point out how she has not held a news conference in over 200 days and her "several signs of illness."

    He's no Sen. Bernie Sanders, but Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has so far won more support from younger voters than the last two GOP presidential candidates and Hillary Rodham Clinton. A new analysis of the primary youth vote from Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life shows that in 21 primaries, Trump received 828,675 votes from those up to age 29, and Clinton 766,425. Sanders owned the category, receiving 2,052,081 votes.

Priebus said, “I think he has a great week. He has been on message. He’s shown maturity as a candidate. I think he’s getting into a groove. I think he likes the new style that he’s been out on the campaign trail producing and speaking of so I think he’s done a great job. And I think the polls will begin to tighten.

    If politicians don't fix the Affordable Care Act, then the vulnerable Blue Cross and local HMO plans — which serve as the backbone of Obamacare — must exit, said Robert Laszewski, the President of Health Policy and Strategy Associates. "What the politicians need to do is to understand they have got about a year to fix this," he said in an interview with CNBC's "Closing Bell." Republicans do not want to fix the existing flaws for Obamacare, Laszewski said. Instead, they want to repeal and replace it. He added that Democrats are now stating that they would rather go to...

    Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is reaching out to the African-American community these days, and in a new interview with Newsweek, at least part of that community is reaching back. Chicago rapper, actor, and White House invitee Common doesn’t seem to be persuaded by Trump’s newfound concern for black voters, if this interview is any indication: “America wouldn’t be taking a step back… we’d be taking 12 steps back [if Trump becomes president],” the Chicago-born musician and activist tells Newsweek. “It would be returning to some of the mentality of racism we’ve seen in the mid-Sixties, in the civil rights...

    Donald Trump is heading to November like a certain zeppelin heading to New Jersey, in a darkening sky that crackles with electricity. He is fighting crosswinds and trying new tacks — hiring the head of Breitbart News to run his campaign, trying on a new emotion (regret) in a speech on Thursday night, promising to talk more this week about immigration, his prime subject. There’s still no telling what will happen when the gasbag reaches the mooring.It could be that the polls are right, and Mr. Trump will go down in flames. But while that will solve an immediate problem,...
