Ivanka Trump has started down a new trail: Being a mom of three! The businesswoman welcomed her third child, a boy, with husband Jared Kushner on Sunday, March 27, she announced on Twitter. Son Theodore James Kushner joins big brother Joseph Frederick, 2, and sister Arabella Rose, 4½. “Jared and I feel incredibly blessed to announce the arrival of Theodore James Kushner. Xx Ivanka,” she wrote.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) has asked a Ted Cruz super PAC to explain why it gave $500,000 to another super PAC supporting one of his Republican rivals. According to financial disclosures from June, Keep the Promise I - one of four separate committees backing Cruz - gave half a million dollars to CARLY for America, the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina. Super PACs are legally allowed to give money to other super PACs - they are only prohibited from donating directly to any political campaign. But it's unusual for one of these groups to give money to an...

Talk show hosts, mediaites and pundits are all asking the same question, “why is Trump so popular”? Pampered establishment politicians are all asking what’s Trump got they ain’t got? “Courage”, said Tin Man, Scarecrow and Dorothy to the Cowardly Lion. Courage to be himself and stand against Political Correctness! With all his flaws, brash babbling and seemingly insensitive nature, he musters the courage to stand and speak against the tyranny of Political Correctness… even if he himself is flawed. One of the favorite tactics of the left is to disqualify folks, especially conservatives, from having a voice because some moral...

The delegate math is essentially impossible. The contested convention your silly buzz-cut supporters and the GOPe VIPS are fantasizing about isn't going to work. Despite having all kinds of new friends in the establishment, they're not going to "broker" you in. You're done. Bye. Quit wasting everyone's time and money.

Most of us are beginning to lean (not choose) toward a presidential candidate, one more than the other. None are without blemish, as they are all human. Ted Cruz has a solid record of conservatism, but his wife Heidi worked for the hated Goldman Sachs, resigning when her husband declared for the Oval Office. Mrs. Cruz was at one time, a member of the liberal, hated Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Freedom Outpost had an informative post and video in March 2015 on the Cruz’s and the CFR. The video and video transcription is the main interest here. The video...

The New York Times greets people at newsstands today with huge headlines, usual reserved for wars and other historic events. "Romney ... Trump ... Nation in peril." And, yet, before the ink is even dry, the Romney-led #NeverTrump movement is visibly a flop. And the Romney speech is a non-story. A. RNC Chairman Priebus: The rules of the nominating process are “no different today than 100 years ago. Which is you have a process. And whatever candidate gets a majority of the delegates is going to get the support of the party. That’s how it works,” Reince Priebus said on...

Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?   The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps.   Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section...

Ted Cruz has a powerful tool as he tries to close the deal with Iowa voters: He has aired the most effective TV ads in the Republican presidential race, according to independent research by a private company. The ratings come from Ace Metrix, a television analytics company that uses large online panels to rate the effectiveness of TV commercials. The company’s political unit found that Cruz’s campaign produced five of the 11 top-scoring ads among Republican voters this election, including the single most effective ad of the GOP primary so far.The ad is simple: Cruz faces the camera, wearing a...

You know, the emerging conservative leader in the US Senate- same one the GOP old-guard spent million$ trying to defeat- that one: Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, and had the longest tenure in Texas history. Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm's U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice. Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief...

After my dad became a Christian, we all moved together to Houston. And seeing the amazing transformation in her husband, my mom became a Christian within a year as well. Thus, by age 4, I was blessed to be being raised in a Christian home with two strong (but new) believers as parents.I was raised in the church. Each night, my dad would read with me from our children's Bible. We'd memorize Bible verses, and compete to see who could do the best. We'd act out scenes from the Old Testament. We attended Clay Road Baptist Church, pastored by the...

We all know Ted Cruz is right, as in politically right of center, and I mean really right. But he's also right about his latest proposal leading up to Monday's voting in Iowa.The Texas senator says he wants to debate Donald Trump one-on-one, and he means right now.Now that would be worth paying for, as in pay-per-view. Or, perhaps to lure The Donald in, find a sponsor willing to donate all proceeds to wounded veterans' groups since that's what Trump said Fox should do with money it would make off a scheduled Thursday night debate that he, Trump, now says...

Donald Trump was on Fox and Friends this morning siding with the GOP establishment, suggesting that everybody in Washington hates Ted Cruz and that he is very unpopular there and because of that he won't be able to get 'deals done' as president:

Who was delivering the Republican response to the State of the Union address Tuesday night – Gov. Nikki Haley or the late Sen. Ted Kennedy? (SNIP) Let’s go to the audiotape. First Nikki Haley from Tuesday night: “No one who is willing to work hard, abide by our laws and love our traditions should ever feel unwelcome in our country.” Now Teddy: “If you work hard, you’re devoted to your family, you play by the rules, you pay your taxes uh and you are working towards the American dream that you can be included too. Those qualities of hard work,...

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is heading to Louisiana next week for a campaign rally. Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, will speak at a Monday afternoon rally at a Baton Rouge hotel, on the same day Louisiana's new governor, Democrat John Bel Edwards, is sworn into office. Bob Reid, with the Tea Party of Louisiana, circulated the Cruz rally information in an email Thursday that encouraged people to share the details with others. Louisiana's presidential primary is scheduled March 5

Texas Senator Ted Cruz was welcomed to Sioux Center on Tuesday night by a robust crowd at Dordt College. The Cruz campaign rolled into town in big fancy bus, and rolled out a persuasive narrative that the first-term Senator from Texas has been able to do something few presidential candidates have been able to accomplish - unite conservatives behind one candidate. It wasn't just Congressman Steve King and Bob Vander Plaats were there to show their support of Cruz. Campaign videos before and after the event featured other well-known conservatives who backed Cruz's candidacy. Cruz himself speaks of a coming...

Ted needs your help. Ted is under an all-out assault on his campaign, his values, and even him personally. Attacks are coming from all sides -- Republican and Democrat -- and of course the liberal media. Ted won't tell you this but I will -- please stop what you are doing and read below.
