Time for Marco Rubio to Join the Party

At long last, Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush have mounted some really effective attacks on Donald Trump. Whether or not they have actually caused Trump’s poll numbers to go down, they have prevented them from going up, which is all that’s really needed to defeat Trump. I’ve been pretty critical of the constant infighting between Rubio and Cruz, but I will say this about Ted Cruz: | Read More »

FAA reauthorization is not conservative

American aviation needs to be reformed, but Congress is considering taking a sledgehammer approach to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that could cripple our entire aviation industry.  The FAA reauthorization bill, H.R. 4441, goes against key conservative principles of low taxation, limited government, and fundamental fairness.  As laid out in an op-ed I wrote for The Hill, H.R. 4441 would separate air traffic control from the | Read More »

PANIC At Campaign Clinton!!

The Political Wire notes panic is setting in at camp Clinton. “The Clinton panic is palpable. Clinton spent Monday in Nevada and sent her husband to fill in at Florida events after her campaign clearly sensed the firewall buckling here. … There is a dearth of reliable public polling in Nevada, but no one on either side has asserted the race is not in reach | Read More »

New Virginia Poll Shows the Race Clarifying

A new poll has been released for the State of Virginia, and it confirms a lot of the conventional wisdom about how the race is shaping up. Virginia is a Super Tuesday state and is probably a pretty good representation of how many of the Southern Super Tuesday states are thinking right now. On the Democrat side, Hillary leads Bernie Sanders, but by less than you | Read More »

Ted Cruz in South Carolina: Commanders shouldn’t worry about “gluten-free MREs”

Now that the GOP race has moved out of the left-wing northeast, where Donald Trump shined, Ted Cruz is back in motion, getting bold when speaking to crowds in South Carolina. Like fellow conservative Marco Rubio, who’s also showing gains in the state, Ted Cruz is making it clear that if he were President, America would have a stronger military ready to keep our country | Read More »

This is the Stupidest, Most Hypocritical Op-Ed Ever Written

You expect Democrats to be dishonest, and you kind of expect them to try to score political points off the SCOTUS vacancy caused by Antonin Scalia’s untimely death. However, this op-ed by alleged pederast Harry Reid in the Washington Post is the most amazingly and hilariously hypocritical (and stupid) thing possibly ever written. The basic gist is that the guy who pretty much invented the | Read More »

How President Obama’s False Narrative Forcing Supreme Court Confirmation Before an Election Fails

Not to be outdone by the facts, this afternoon President Obama once again asserted the false narrative that Justice Anthony Kennedy was confirmed in the last year of President Reagan’s term in office as proof-positive that his own eventual nominee to the Supreme Court should be forced to a vote in the Senate this year.

This narrative is demonstrably false and misleading to the American people.

Hillary Dusts Off Her Fake Black Accent to Talk About Al Sharpton

Is she doing bad southern? Or is she being racist? You decide: Will Sharpton endorse Clinton? Her response. pic.twitter.com/mNKHkOAgf9 — Annie Karni (@anniekarni) February 16, 2016 “Oh, stewardess! I speak jive.” Really, Hillary? I mean seriously? Again? But then again … They just really can’t help themselves, can they? I mean, it’s not like the media will ever call them on it.

Old, Frail, Sick Hillary Clinton Has Another Coughing Fit Mid-Speech [VIDEO]

Back in October, she started coughing in the middle of a Benghazi hearing, and was asked if she needed to take a recess.  Just last month, Clinton had a coughing fit in the middle of a speech in Iowa, which lasted a full minute. Today while | Read More »

Rubio Gets Tougher on Trump Today in South Carolina

Earlier today, I criticized Rubio for not going after Donald Trump with the same gusto as Ted Cruz. I am glad to note that, per multiple sources Rubio started today striking a much more strident tone against Trump on the campaign trail.

Keep the Promise 1 has 13 paid staff members and about 75 canvassers in the state and has hired Nathan Emens, a local operative, to oversee its Nevada ground game.

Trump Camp FABRICATES Quote of Tom Coburn In Order To Smear Ted Cruz

This tweet probably alarmed a lot of people. Dan Scavino, of the Trump campaign, claimed that Tom Coburn trashed Ted Cruz as “without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in DC.” That would indeed be a scandalous and damaging thing if it had happened. But it didn’t happen. It’s a lie. First, take a look the firestorm: Unreal! Highly respected Senator Tom Coburn- | Read More »

A Nutty Plan To Confirm An Obama Nominee To Replace Scalia – After The Election

Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court cannot be confirmed by the U.S. Senate without the co-operation of Republicans, because there are 54 Republicans in the Senate. That’s enough to block Democrats from getting (1) the 50 votes needed to confirm (the tiebreaking 51st would be Vice President Biden), (2) the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster, or (3) the | Read More »
