On Thursday night, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin took on the rising tide of "populist nationalism" with a history lesson. Populism, Levin explained, is really just progressivism. The populist movement in America was the forerunner of the progressive movement, and both populism and progressivism share the same disdain for constitutionalism that conservatives reject.

The Drudge Report took up a leftie talking point against Ted Cruz this weekend in a HUGE HEADLINE that just happens to bash the common and meaningful practice of Christianity, and Michelle Malkin lets him have it. Calmly and with dignity, Malkin takes this smear apart.

Right now, the Republican Party is in despair. Those of us who are actual conservatives are left feeling frustrated, depressed, and somewhat hopeless at the thought of a wolf in sheep's clothing winning the party nomination (and likely going on to lose in the general election, to add insult to injury). We understand the dangerous territory we would find ourselves in should our party elect a Republican nominee who is neither a Republican nor a decent human being. But after attending CPAC this year, I feel encouraged. Of course, you are supposed to leave feeling inspired and renewed from the...

Donald Trump has made a name for himself by offending people across the political spectrum, but it was fellow Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio who ruffled Northwest Florida feathers on Super Tuesday. In comments made to Fox News reporter Bret Baier as the results of primary voting in 11 GOP races were being finalized on another disappointing night for Florida's junior senator, Rubio appeared to attempt to diminish "North Florida" as a voting force. Baier noted that "Florida shares media markets with 19 counties in Alabama and Georgia and in those counties Trump beat you 50 percent to 16 percent."...

"Deadliest Catch's" Captain Sig Hansen has been hospitalized, a rep for Discovery confirmed to FOX411. In a deleted post, his daughter shared a photo of her dad in the hospital. She wrote alongside the photo he had suffered a heart attack. "Capt survived the 'widowmaker'!! Beating a heart attack ain't easy. Welcome back boss," Mandy Marie Hansen wrote on Instagram. In a statement, Discovery said Hansen experienced chest pain during a taping of the show. "While Sig was determined to keep going, the crew acted swiftly and insisted that they dock to get him help. He was airlifted to Anchorage,...

Talk radio host and Fox News Channel anchor Sean Hannity declared a New York Times piece about his position on immigration reform and the Gang of Eight was "a bold-faced lie" and added that he was "getting pissed off at [GOP presidential candidate Florida Senator] Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)too" over his performance during the debate and on the trail during his radio show on Monday. Hannity began by talking about the NYT article. He stated that other talk radio hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Laura Ingraham wouldn't change their principled opinions on any issue. He further said...

Donald Trump is going after the media, threatening to sue publications for writing negatively about him. During a Friday rally in Texas, Trump launched into a monologue about how he felt that the media was treating him unfairly, alleging that the New York Times and Washington Post, in particular, were not covering him well. "The New York Times, which is losing a fortune, which is a failing newspaper, which probably won't be around much longer ... but I think the New York Times is one of the most dishonest media outlets I've ever seen in my life," the businessman said....

Sen. Lindsey Graham should walk into the Senate chamber today and resign his seat. He would be doing America a great favor. According to CNN, Sen. Graham said at the Washington Press Club Foundation dinner last night, "If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial is at the Senate, no one will convict you." Graham's joke crossed the line. Joking about the murder of a presidential candidate is reckless and wrong. It makes it acceptable for other Republican politicians to say hateful things about a member of their own party. It gives Democrats political...

In a bombshell hours before the Republican Presidential debate, officers for a second immigration agency are now warning America against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and are indicating support for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. Ken Palinkas--who served as the President of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Council during the Gang of Eight fight and is now a local chapter president for USCIS officers--weighed in on the fight between America's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and Sen. Rubio. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Palinkas detailed the dangers a Rubio Administration would pose to national security and...

Damn it feels good to be a Clinton. A shameless politician plays her cards right. Got a crew for the fights on the airwaves. Lap dogs in the press keep their mouths tight. Cause a Clinton never needs to explain what. Why it is what they’ve done or with who. A real Clinton knows they’re entitled. You don’t get to know what they do. What difference does it make for a Clinton. What’s loaded in some fat oppo file. A Clinton plays the victim for promotion. A Clinton kills it off with a smile. Damn it feels good to be...

Marco Rubio is planning to meet with his former political mentor Jeb Bush to try to bury the hatchet, the Florida Senator says. Speaking to reporters in Nevada today, Rubio said that he spoke with Bush on Monday and had "a nice conversation," according to the New York Times. "He's just decompressing from this election," Rubio told reporters. "And trying to get going again in the rest of his life. But we'll meet and talk soon enough." Rubio did not specify a date for the meeting and told the Times that he had not asked for Bush's endorsement. "We're going...

Monday on his radio show, conservative talk show host Mark Levin ripped Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% , a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination for his repeated attacks on his opponent Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% accusing him of not being truthful. Levin insisted that it was Rubio was lying and not Cruz and that people were believing Rubio because he was repeating his attacks on Cruz. "He lied his way to get elected to the United States Senate, frankly - including on this program," Levin said. "He's got a huge trust factor. He can go around calling people...

The campaign of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is speaking out to defend American war veteran and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council President Chris Crane. Over the weekend, Sen. Marco Rubio demeaned Crane, who’s critical of Sen. Rubio’s involvement in the Gang of Eight bill. “This courageous ICE officer—a man that Sen. Jeff Sessions has called ‘an American hero’… has served his country in so many different capacities: in the Marine’s uniform, as an ICE officer, [and] as a representative for all of America’s ICE officers,” said Donald Trump’s Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller on Breitbart News Sunday. Rubio has...

Super Tuesday is when the nomination contest leaves the quirky confines of individual states and finally assumes the feel of a national campaign. On March 1, there will be 12 states, concentrated in the South but also scattered around the country, allotting just under 600 delegates, around 25 percent of the overall total. Competing on Super Tuesday takes a lot of money, which gives Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz an edge, and will sorely test the theory behind Sen. Marco Rubio ’s candidacy. Rubio raised just over $4 million in January, according to FEC reports. He spent over $10...

Law enforcement are vocally backing Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council President Chris Crane following Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) 79% 's apparent attempt to discredit Crane, an ICE officer of 13 years and U.S. veteran. Crane has been described by Senator Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) 80% , a renowned leader in the conservative nation-state movement, as "an American hero" for blowing the whistle on immigration corruption. Following an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in which Crane detailed how law enforcement was treated "like absolute trash" by Sen. Rubio during his effort to ram the Gang of Eight amnesty bill through the...

Ben Carson finished dead last in South Carolina last night, as the polls predicted that he would. He did not finish last due to lack of effort, or because he was focusing on some other state where he had a better chance. By Carson's own admission, South Carolina was a state where he should have done well, and where the large evangelical population should have given him a decent chance to post a good showing. Instead, he finished behind John Kasich, a guy who spent significant portions of the last week campaigning in far flung places like Michigan. He finished...

Congrats Trumpsters! Can we all agree that Trump or Cruz needs to take Rubio down?

From coin tosses to high-card, Hillary Clinton cannot stop beating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) 16% when luck takes the place of voters. To break tied precincts in the Iowa Caucus a few weeks ago, Hillary won every coin toss -- 6 out of 6 -- the odds of which are less than 2%. In Nevada's caucus today, Democrats played a game of high-low card to determine a tie. And super-lucky Hillary just won with an ace to Bernie's 6 in the precinct of Pahrump, Nevada. Wall Street Journal: The 30 voters in Precinct 10 at Morse Elementary School split even,...
