Trump administration Border Czar Tom Homan criticized Democrat Newark Mayor Ras Baraka on Saturday for trespassing at the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility while claiming he was supporting the rule of law. Baraka was arrested and briefly detained Friday, along with two other Democrats, reportedly rushing into the center when the gates of the facility opened to allow a bus carrying apparent illegal alien criminals inside. “We ask them to obey our laws, to obey the policies, the rules here, in the city and the state of New Jersey, not to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States,...

I missed Scott Rasmussen's appearance on Hannity this afternoon, but another poster said his prediction of a Brown win was "reluctantly and not enthusiastically." Two weeks ago, Rasmussen Reports released a poll showing that Republican challenger Scott Brown had closed the gap in Massachusetts to single digits. Prior to that release, “The overwhelming conventional wisdom in both parties… was that Martha Coakley was a lock,” writes The Politico’s Ben Smith, adding, “It's hard to recall a single poll changing the mood of a race quite that dramatically.” A week later, the shock continued as our final poll in the race...

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the presidential race in Florida shows former Big Apple Mayor Rudy Giuliani with a modest lead over Senator Hillary Clinton of 46% to 41%. Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney leads the former First Lady 46% to 39%. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has a nine point edge 47% to 38% while Arizona Senator John McCain leads by ten, 48% to 38%. These numbers flip the scenario Rasmussen Reports witnessed in an August poll of the race in Florida. Then, Clinton enjoyed a five-point edge on Giuliani and double-digit leads over Thompson, McCain, and...
