Vice President Joe Biden said last week that he wishes he were in high school and could take Donald Trump “behind the gym,” in a response to the groping allegations against the GOP nominee. Trump said Tuesday that he would “love that.” “Did you see where Biden wants to take me to the the back of the barn? Me. I’d love that,” the Republican nominee said at a rally in Tallahassee, Fla. “Mr. Tough Guy. You know, he’s Mr. Tough Guy. You know when he’s Mr. Tough Guy? When he’s standing behind a microphone by himself. … Some things in...

Fox News host Megyn Kelly battled former House Speaker Newt Gingrich in a striking Tuesday night interview. “You are fascinated with sex and you don’t care about public policy!” Gingrich exclaimed amid the back and forth. Kelly’s interview with Gingrich, a leading Donald Trump surrogate, started off friendly enough but got increasingly tense as she pressed him on Trump’s flagging poll numbers and campaign firestorms. Things boiled over when Gingrich accused the media of widespread bias and Kelly argued that the sexual misconduct allegations against Trump are newsworthy. “If Trump is a sexual predator, that is —” Kelly began, as...

Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have both introduced plans that would change the federal tax system. Hillary Clinton’s tax plan would increase federal revenue by about $1.4 trillion over the next decade. Her plan would make the current tax code more progressive by raising taxes on top earners and cutting taxes for families with young children. Her plan would slightly increase marginal tax rates, which would result in reduced economic output in the long run. Donald Trump’s tax plan would reduce federal revenue by between $4.4 and $5.9 trillion over the next decade. His plan would cut taxes, on...

In 2012 the Obama Administration granted temporary legal status to close to 750,000 illegal immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.Now they are going door-to-door campaigning on behalf of Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. The Washington Post followed the campaign activities in Northern Virginia, a crucial purple region that could very well determine the outcome in Virginia and, possibly the national electoral college results:

“But here’s the deal. The bottom line on nuclear weapons is that when the president gives the order, it must be followed. There’s about four minutes between the order being given and the people responsible for launching nuclear weapons to do so.” –Hillary Clinton If this statement along does not sink this boob then nothing will...

Smartmatic, a U.K.-based voting technology company with deep ties to George Soros, has control over voting machines in 16 states including battleground zones like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Other jurisdictions affected are California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin. Its website includes a flow-chart that describes how the company has contributed to elections in the U.S. from 2006-2015 with “57,000 voting and counting machines deployed” and “35 million voters assisted.”

There were a lot of fireworks at the last presidential debate that perhaps overshadowed the most substantive difference between the two candidates – namely, how they would be guided in office by the U.S. Constitution. When the candidates were asked about the criteria they would use to select Supreme Court nominees, Hillary Clinton responded very clearly: “You’re right. This is one of the most important issues in this election. I want to appoint Supreme Court justices who understand the way the world works, who have real-life experience, maybe they tried more cases, understand what people are up against. I think...

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, citing survey results released on Monday, blames widespread ignorance for the relatively positive views millennials have toward socialism and communism. Of the 2,300 Americans polled by YouGov, 80% of baby boomers and 91% of the elderly agree with the statement that “communism was and still is a problem” in the world today. Millennials? Only 55%. Furthermore, almost half of Americans between the ages of 16 and 20 said they would vote for a socialist, while 21% would go so far as to back a communist. Capitalism, on the other hand, is viewed favorably by...

A Swedish prosecutor has ruled that the ISIS flag does not constitute hate speech and is therefore legal under Swedish law. Prosecutor Gisela Sjövall announced last week that she would not prosecute a 23-year-old man who had posted the black ISIS flag on his Facebook page in June. Police in Laholm, a town on Sweden’s west coast, had launched a criminal investigation into the man, who comes originally from Syria, on suspicion of committing "hate speech". “Put simply, one can say that he is expressing contempt for “all others”, and not against a specific ethnic group,” Sjövall told Sweden’s SVT...

When will Captain Pantsuit begin the discussion of the issues facing all Americans? Maybe never? Never mind Donald Trump! I know where he stands. That's why I am voting for him come hell or high water. Hillary is the one who has landed us here. But wait a minute, could it be that we deplorable ones don't matter to her parties ambitions? Is it her agenda to represent ALL Americans? Not so much. She gives not a rats @$$ about anyone who disagrees with her socialist agenda. Why is she bobbing and weaving with this crap from 20 or 30...

Earth to Paul Ryan!...We are in an epic battle for the direction of this country. The fact that the mainstream media does not report it as such is no matter. Here we understand the importants of this election if you don't. I don't give a tinkers d*** HOW many private conversations from upteen years ago the hyenas on the left dredge up to try and destroy Donald Trump! We all need to realize what's at stake here: Supreme Court appointments, The border, Islamic terrorism, Military readiness, The national debt, EPA overreach, oil independence, jobs/unemployment, destruction of the second amendment, abortion...

The massive trove of emails by Clinton confidant John Podesta released by Wikileaks has exposed journalists from a variety of media organizations who are “with her.” CNBC chief Washington correspondent and New York Times political writer John Harwood is the most prominent journalist who is cozy in the emails with the Clinton camp. The CNBC anchor is also the one who should arguably be the most embarrassed.

Samsung SSNLF, +0.00% warned customers Wednesday about its washing machines after one blew up on a Georgia woman. The top-load machines in question were made between March 2011 and April of this year, the company announced. “We are in active discussions with the (Consumer Product Safety Commission) to address safety issues,” according to a company statement. “In rare cases, affected units may experience abnormal vibrations that could pose a risk of personal injury or property damage.” But Samsung washing machine owner Melissa Thaxton, 32, of Dallas, Georgia, said her machine actually blew up. “It was the loudest sound. It sounded...

Republican Donald Trump was kept on the defensive at the first presidential debate, in several instances having to debate the highly anticipated event's moderator as well as his Democratic opponent. Trump was challenged on his answers Monday night at Hofstra University in New York at least six times by NBC's Lester Holt, according to the Washington Examiner's count. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile was no follow-up questions for the 90-minute debate. The debate was separated into three segments: "Achieving Prosperity," "America's Direction" and "Securing America." In the first segment, Trump was asked about his reluctance to release his tax returns, which he...

New concerns arise about the mental health of students on college campuses all across the country. Dr. Gene Beresin, a psychiatrist and Executive Director of The Clay Center for Young Healthy Minds at Massachusetts General Hospital, says 50% to 60% of college students have a psychiatric disorder. “What I’m including in that is the use of substances, anxiety, depression, problems with relationships, break-ups, academic problems, learning disabilities, attentional problems,” says Dr. Beresin. “If you add them all up 50% doesn’t seem that high.” Some undergraduates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) agree. “People go through tough times,” says Dane...

When I wrote the headline "Hillary's heel," I was thinking of Achilles, not Bill, though the former president is usually within nipping range of his wife's pantsuit hem. Hillary Clinton's Achilles' heel is her very Clinton-ness. Just as her husband was willing to parse the meaning of the word "is" rather than admitting his foibles early on and preventing the national torture of watching his extramarital sex life unfold, Hillary has mastered the habit of teetering along the knife's edge of truth. Like a gymnast on a balance beam, she manages to stay within the narrow parameters of lawfulness without...

Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday refugees had not brought terrorism to Germany, adding that Islam belonged in the country as long as it was practiced in a way that respected the constitution. More than a million people fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere arrived in Germany last year. The mood towards them has soured after a spate of attacks on civilians last month, including three carried out by migrants. Two of those attacks were claimed by the Islamic State militant group. "The phenomenon of Islamist terrorism, of IS, is not a phenomenon that came...

An illegal immigrant who was tapped by the Hillary Clinton campaign for a new effort to register Latino voters is tied to a multi-million dollar voter registration effort funded by George Soros. The Clinton campaign announced the “Mi Sueño, Tu Voto”—or “My Dream, Your Vote”—program on Sunday. The program uses stories about illegal immigrant children who are prohibited from voting to inspire Latino voters to register and vote against Donald Trump and Republicans, the Associated Press reported.

The community organizer calling Trump unfit to serve as President? You're funny as heck Obama! You go and take America on some liberal magical mystery tour and almost 8 years later we are buried in crap up to our ears? You lied to us all the way along about every plan you and your lunatic liberals managed to concieve. Hillary Clinton is quite simply an extension of that lying you so perfectly perfected. You look a little hot under the collar Obama. Maybe you should reflect on the fact that you are calling millions of Americans unfit. You and Hillary...
