Sunday, Newt Gingrich will be on Meet the Press as a Romney surrogate. Tuesday, Newt will be campaigning with Mitt Romney and Donald Trump in Las Vegas. Could Romney be testing the Newt for VP waters? Nobody, gets TV news ratings like Gingrich. Nobody can be a campaign pitbull like Gingrich. Newt can sing many songs on TV news. The other GOP VP candidates are milk toast next to Newt. Is it possible?

In comments that can be seen as an effort to intimidate Florida's special state prosecutor Angela Corey with nationwide race riots, Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the family of slain 17 year-old black Floridian Trayvon Martin warned of "pandemonium" around America and the world should Corey decide to not prosecute admitted Martin killer George Zimmerman, who has claimed self-defense. Crump issued the dire warning in an interview with BBC5. In a case that has inflamed racial tensions across the United States and drawn global attention, the unarmed Martin was shot to death by Zimmerman on February 26 as he walked...

April 5, 2012 I was listening to FOX News (Haaah!) on the radio this morning and they announced Santorum was taking four days off from the campaign, then they announced...proclaimed, Romney on the other hand is hard at work in Pennsylvania. It was so biased...excuse me...we have Good Friday and it is Easter this weekend.

Newt Gingrich is so valuable to the American Conservative movement in America. This is why Newt should stay in the race all the way to the convention in August. Everyday, Newt clearly expresses conservative policy, positions, plans and Obama rebuttals. Newt pushes and explains doable plans for energy, Social Security, Iran etc every week, where Santorum and Romney are talking pious generalities. Let's face it. The other thing that Newt is doing with his substantive speeches and TV radio appearances is he is showing the world that he is solid presidential material. So if Mitt or Rick continue to screw...

After watching today's Sunday News shows this morning, I was struck how gifted Newt Gingrich is in answering questions. On both Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and on Face the Nation with Bob Sheiffer, Newt smoothly and clearly answered with substance, questions ranging from Afganistan to how to get to $2.50 per gallonn gasoline. Newt also calmly, clearly, truthfully and respectfully answered how he and Santorum differed. My conclusion is that we conservative Americans should wholeheartedly support Newt for President so we can retrieve our rightful place as citizens who can truly have our wishes listened to and implemented...

Rush Limbaugh said Speaker of the House John Boehner phoned him this morning around 10:30 to brief him on the latest news about his negotiations with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to raise the nation's debt ceiling.Limbaugh told about the conversation on his nationally syndicated radio program. Boehner said there is a two-tier plan in the works. Step one would cut $1.1 trillion in spending with a $1 trillion increase in the debt that would get the government to April 2012 with no tax increases.The next tier would be recommended cuts by a joint...

Anyone watching this pathethic president now? He's IRATE now!

What if, as part of the debt ceiling negotiations, Republicans demand a repeal of all waivers granted to date as well as making future waivers illegal. This would do several things. 1) Republicans can offer it as a concession to Obama. They can say, "We don't think Obamacare is good for the economy, but Obama/Pelosi/Reid do (insert Pelosi's stupid claim that it'd add millions of jobs as soon as it's signed into law). Thus we're willing to make everyone who's been granted a waiver put some skin in the game, in support of Obama's chief legislative victory, in order to...

I think it may be a good time to remind everyone that once Rick Perry announces that he’s not running for the presidency, Governor Palin will be the only one in the field who can say that she vetoed some of Obama’s stimulus package. In the unlikely event that Rick Perry enters the contest, Governor Palin will still be the only person on stage who can say that she vetoed the energy portion of Obama’s stimulus package. She didn’t just oppose Obama’s stimulus package through her words, nor did she just cast the same vote that every other moderate or...

Gov Sarah Palin`s biggest week in sometime begins next week with the release of her film The Undefeated. I believe we are going to see the MSM/Rep Establishment in their biggest attack on Gov Palin, perhaps ever. They have already been pushing Michele Bachmann, but you aint seen nothing yet. The LSM has a whole slue of polls that are due to be released next week, and they are going to all say that Sarah Palin is only a memory, no longer even relevant. At the same time their polls will show Michele Bachmann way out in front...FOR SURE THESE...

I heard a rumor that embattled Rep. Weiner plans to run for President!! It is said he will tap Attorney General Eric Holder to be his VP. People cannot wait to get their hands on the new bumper stickers that say WEINER-HOLDER.......

In the African-American community, the significance of hair cannot be underestimated, a source of either self-esteem or self-doubt. So for white parents of black children, making sure their youngsters are well-coiffed is as much a priority as good nutrition and potty training. This reality came into focus recently at a sold-out workshop, "Caring for Afro-textured Hair and Skin," at the Cradle, an Evanston-based adoption agency. "People are judged by the way they look," said Julien Drouet, a white father of Lily, 3, and 10-month-old Victor, whom he adopted with his partner, Brandon Walt. "I don't agree, but if we want...

JANUARY 25--South Carolina cops are attempting to identify the participants in a wild brawl early Saturday at an International House of Pancakes, video of which has gone viral online. As seen in the below clip--which includes some cursing--the female combatants are seen punching and wrestling with each other as tables are toppled. At one point, a woman picks up a coffee pot and strikes another woman in the head while she is being pinned to a table. Later, a man is seen swinging a cane at the woman who was struck with the coffee pot. The woman, adopting a lion...

(and rightly so, for the record). Any priest that removed even some of a boy's clothes and touched his private parts would be hauled up before a court in 2 seconds. Same for a teacher. These pat downs are lunacy. Anyone who really wants to smuggle junk on board will stick the stuff in a body cavity or in the one quart bag.

I wonder if the TSA has a Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy for their screeners? Or can a openly gay TSA screener do pats downs (of children, ugh)? Inquiring minds what to know....

God didn't create the universe, Stephen Hawking says in his latest book, "A Grand Design." Rather, the renowned physicist writes, "Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing." Everything – created from nothing? The assertion begged a reply from the author of "Nothing Created Everything: The Scientific Impossibility of Atheistic Evolution." "It is embarrassingly unscientific to speak of anything creating itself from nothing," said Ray Comfort, a best-selling author and acclaimed minister who's confronted and confounded some of the world's most accomplished atheists. "Common sense says that if something possessed the...

How old is the President? Rush Limbaugh thinks August 4, the chief’s birthday, may not be correct. Okay, but what about his emotional age? Last week marked Obama’s 49th birthday. The celebration began Wednesday evening at a dinner in Chicago with Oprah Winfrey and officially ended on Sunday at the White House with a barbecue. In between he did run around to various Democratic fundraisers and gave another upbeat speech at a Ford auto plant touting his economic plan as a boon to creating jobs. With those annoying chores out of the way, he hit the golf course on Saturday...

If there’s one thing to be learned from "Sex and the City," it’s that women love high heels. Sure, they might be painful to wear and challenging to walk in (for some of us, anyway), but as the saying goes, beauty is pain. But blisters might not be the only downside to wearing high heels. In fact, the damage might be occurring higher up on the body – in the ankle, knee and hip, according to new research being presented later this month at the annual meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics. Another key finding: The higher the heel,...

And just like that, they were off again. "It's over. I broke up with him," Bristol Palin tells PEOPLE exclusively of her second try at an engagement to Levi Johnston, father of her 19-month-old son Tripp. Palin, 19, says the relationship soured on July 14, the very same day they announced their marriage intentions to the world. Palin says he told her that evening he might have fathered a baby with another teenage girl. (Palin did not name the young woman, but a pregnant former girlfriend of Johnston's has since publicly denied his paternity.) In an emotional phone interview with...

Rock-solid proof? July 28, 2008 09:49 am — By David May editor@mineralwellsindex.com A slab of North Texas limestone is on track to rock the world, with its two imbedded footprints poised to make a huge impression in scientific and religious circles. The estimated 140-pound stone was recovered in July 2000 from the bank of a creek that feeds the Paluxy River near Glen Rose, Texas, located about 53 miles south of Fort Worth. The find was made just outside Dinosaur Valley State Park, a popular destination for tourists known for its well-preserved dinosaur tracks and other fossils. The limestone contains...

The water-dwelling ancestors of modern-day mammals, reptiles and birds emerged onto land millions of years earlier than previously believed, researchers report. A set of fossilized footprints show that the first tetrapods — a term applied to any four-footed animal with a spine — were treading open ground 397 million years ago, well before scientists thought they existed. An expert unconnected with the research said the find would force experts to reconsider a critical period in evolution when sea-based vertebrates took their first steps toward becoming dinosaurs, mammals and — eventually — human beings. "It blows the whole story out of the water, so to speak," said Jenny...

The nation is buzzing about First Lady Michelle Obama and her new haircut, a short bob, which she debuted at the funeral of Jean Biden. But who is responsible for this cut? Who is the stylist who never fails to keep Michelle’s hair looking sharp behind the cameras? America, meet Johnny Wright.Johnny has known Mrs. Obama for about three years now. Back in 2007, when Wright was a popular stylist in Chicago’s Wicker Park area, he was called in for an Essence magazine photo shoot where Johnny and Michelle quickly hit it off.Once the Obama family moved into the White...

I'm filling 'EXEMPT'if this healthcare bill passes. Putting the money in my mattress til next year and urge all to do the same !!!

I just heard a radio ad for Jay Leno's stolen back "Tonight Show" which resumes March 1. He's proudly advertising a Tuesday segment that makes fun of Sarah Palin misspeaking, running clips of her anytime she trips over her tongue. Apparently Jay has very publically chosen sides for the 2012 election. Apparently he also never misspeaks either. His entire disasterously bad interview with Oprah was one giant malaprop--either that or the man is an inveterate liar and sociopath. Sarah Palin ought to be making fun of him. As we know, the man is a big baby who couldn't just walk...

Harry Reid will not run for re-election. You heard it here first. He's gonna ram healthcare through (or at least give it his best college try) and then he'll opt not to run to "spend more time with family" or some other 100% bogus, phoney excuse. Once his political usefulness has been used up by Obama, Axelrod, and Emanuel, they'll pull a Dodd and tell him to step down "for the good of the party". Since his poll numbers are upside down in Nevada, and even lefty pundits on MSNBC are admitting he's toast, Reid may see retiring as a...
