Driving across the country last week, it seemed hard to believe an American presidential election is happening a week from Tuesday. Few campaign signs sprout from urban lawns; partisan billboards along the highways are scarce. Away from the coasts, the talk on the radio is largely of football and Jesus, not politics. It takes a moment, hearing a spot in North Carolina for a US Senate candidate, to realize the voice belongs to President Obama, interrupting some country music. Oh, there’s plenty of chatter about it in the raging echo chambers of talk radio and TV cable news, and in...

The American Medical Association defines an “alcoholic” as someone who 1.Has a prolonged period of frequent, heavy alcohol use. 2.Is unable to control drinking once it has begun. 3.Has withdrawal symptoms when the individual stops using alcohol. 4.Needs to use more and more alcohol to achieve the same effects. 5.Has a variety of social and/or legal problems arising from alcohol use. By that definition, Hillary Clinton is an alcoholic. Exhibit A In an email to Hillary’s campaign chairman John Podesta on August 8, 2015, Director of Communications for Hillary’s campaign Jennifer Palmieri wrote, referring to Hillary: “I think you should...

Complete Headline: Donna Brazile on FBI Re-Opening Clinton Email Investigation: It's 'Like an 18-Wheeler Smacking into Us' Top Democratic officials and advisers to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton are worried about the new attention being brought to the re-opening of the Clinton email investigation and worry about its impact on the election. Clinton's advisers fear that the attention devoted to the emails could affect her chances in the election as well as candidates in down-ballot House and Senate races. "This is like an 18-wheeler smacking into us, and it just becomes a huge distraction at the worst possible time," said...

The White House petition to ban “George Soros owned voting machines” reached well over the required 100,000 signatures to obtain a response from President Barack Obama. The petition reached the signatures within six days of being published, far ahead of the November 20th deadline. According to the official White House petition website, the petition is now in a “queue” that will be reviewed by the White House. “When the White House responds, everyone who has signed the petition will get email from the White House to let you know that we’ve reviewed and responded to the petition,” the website states....

It was my third day at the Republican National Convention in 1996, and my notebook overflowed with a one-note theme: “You do know that Hillary Clinton is funding the whole radical feminist agenda?” “She had Vince Foster killed.” “She’s behind many more murders than that.” “It’s well-established that Hillary Clinton belonged to a satanic cult, still does.” The consensus among Pat Buchanan’s supporters seemed ardent and universal, though the object of this obloquy wasn’t even on the opposing ticket. blah...blah...blah...blah...blah...blah...blah...

Nice try, Democrats, but this thing ain't really over yet, is it? I mean, if they really believed all the smoke their WikiLeaks acolytes have been blowing over the last week or so about Hillary's impending landslide, then why did all of John Podesta's pen pals have a collective meltdown on social media within seconds yesterday after the FBI announced that it was going to review the videotape after all. And these rumpswabs and lickspittles have the audacity to call Donald Trump unhinged? Grief counselors were swarming The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post and all the rest of...

Republicans Rode Waves of Populism Until They Crashed the Party Oct. 26, 2016 10:32 a.m. ET Donald Trump seized on GOP’s failure to change enough to accommodate four decades of newcomers; a post-election split? By Gerald F. Seib and Patrick O’Connor When Donald Trump rode down an escalator at Trump Tower to launch his presidential campaign in June 2015, he began galvanizing a populist version of the Republican Party. But he didn’t create it. The GOP that carried Mr. Trump to the presidential nomination was formed by waves of new voters who washed onto Republican shores in the last four...

Republican Donald Trump tells supporters Hillary Clinton has “no-one to blame but herself” for her ongoing legal problems after the FBI announced it will examine new evidence related to her use of a private email server. (NO REPORTER NARRATION) Republican Donald Trump tried to capitalize on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's renewed legal troubles with the FBI over use of a private email server, telling supporters at a rally in Colorado that evidence against her is now "overwhelming". The announcement that FBI Director Comey sent a letter to Congress saying that it's again looking at Clinton's use of a private server...

Gingrich makes a good point. This is about racketerring. The email server and the missing emails contain the evidence to prosecute both Bill and Hillary, Chelsea and many others of racketeering. May even get Obama in the crossfire. The Clinton Foundation truly is a criminal organization. I suspect Comey didn't pursue charges on the emails as a way to get the Clinton crime family and leftist media to take their eye off the ball, while the FBI quietly persued RICO charges. Maybe the Clinton's thought they had Comey bought and paid for but...being the FBI director that brought down the...

Hillary Clinton is having a very bad week. Her lead in the polls is crumbling. She still hasn’t figured how to put one foot in front of the other. Now the FBI has just re-opened the probe into her email fiasco. But why is the FBI going after Hillary now, just 11 days before the election? Sure, the reason given is due to what was found while investigating Anthony Weiner, but radio host Rush Limbaugh isn’t buying it. He thinks the FBI is doing this in order to distract us from the WikiLeaks emails. From The Blaze: There’s nothing to...

Is this a prophesy about Trump?: Isaiah 14:29 Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. Isa 14:30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant. It speaks about a Palistina that believes a rod that has stood against it has been broken. Could this be The USA under Obama? But,...

Trump in Colorado: Pence in North Carolina: Hillary in Florida: Bill Clinton in Cleveland:

FBI Director James Comey's decision to notify Congressional leaders of the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation is a huge story and could prove to be the October surprise folks have been wondering about. Of course, it might turn out to be something that fizzles out or it could even be overshadowed by another Donald Trump outrage. But for now, the substance and the timing could not possibly be worse for the person who has been deemed the "inevitable next President". This story is a very big deal for several reasons. First, it changes the conversation with a little...

Today has been a stunningly good day for the Trump/Pence ticket. Both candidates are confidently arriving at the 10-day-window with enthusiasm, optimism and confidence. Trump rallied in Colorado, where there were more people in the overflow crowd than both of Bill Clinton (Cleveland, OH) and Hillary Clinton (Daytona, FL) rallies combined.

Trump understands explicitly that there is virtue in fighting back, and implicitly that people are longing for someone who will do so -- someone like him -- even though they may not quite pinpoint it that way. I think he is onto something serious with that one, and I will tell you why. Most people understand that one of the Republican establishment’s most pervasive problems with its own constituency is its perceived unwillingness to fight back against relentless attacks from the progressive left and its Democratic Party cohorts -- consider, for example, those who accused George W. Bush of fabricating...

FBI is reopening its Clinton email probe The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails after finding new evidence on seized devices belonging to Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin. The devices were seized after it was revealed that Weiner, a former member of Congress and mayoral candidate, had been sexting with an underage girl. The feds began to investigate Weiner, 52, after he sent a slew of sexual messages and shirtless selfies to a 15-year-old North Carolina girl. Weiner allegedly shared his “rape fantasies” with the teen and even sent her pornographic videos. He also...

Hillary Clinton has picked out a symbolism-laden spot for her party on election night. The Democratic nominee and her supporters will celebrate or bemoan the results at the Javits Center in New York, her campaign said Wednesday. The convention hall has a glass ceiling, and Clinton has notably used the imagery of shattering the "glass ceiling" when she talks about trying to become the first female president. Manhattan could end up being the center of the political world on election night if Donald Trump also decides to mark the occasion there. He's often used Trump Tower for campaign events, starting...
