This isn’t your normal campaign website. Conventional wisdom says that you should never mention your opponent’s name. But then, this isn’t a conventional campaign. So, why would I buck all standard advice and include a page on my campaign website to talk so directly about Paul Ryan’s betrayal of us? For the same reason I’ve chosen to buck the establishment by running for this congressional seat in the first place. The status quo—convention—isn’t working for us in Washington, D.C. And it’s not going to work in this campaign. My opponent needs to be called out—by name. Paul Ryan Betrayed Me...

ONE day! It took only one day after Trump wins...IN SPITE OF THEM...for the Republicans in the House (NRCC) and the Senate (NRSC) to scam Trump supporters into supporting their RINO candidates...NONE of which helped Trump! TTC has written about this extensively...BOTH have been doing this since Trump announced and have STOLEN likely millions of $$$ from the Trump campaign and they have NO intention of stopping...unless YOU make them! These elected traitors give NOT one rip about you or the United States of America. They care about their own little club and ripping you off to enrich themselves. This...

OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin is offering her enthusiastic endorsement of Republican presidential contender Donald Trump, saying she supports the New York billionaire “100 percent.” Fallin also said Wednesday she’s honored to be mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate and would be happy to consider such an offer. Fallin said her priority is to elect a conservative, pro-business Republican who is strong on national defense, and that she believes Trump is that candidate. The two-term governor has not previously endorsed any of the GOP candidates for president. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas won Oklahoma’s March presidential...

Gretawire reported: Senator Ted Cruz complained this morning about Fox News Channel being unfair to him. He took a few swipes at Fox News Channel CEO Roger Ailes and 21st Century Fox Chairman Rupert Murdoch for turning Fox News into the “Donald Trump Network.” In taking those swipes, he also took swipes at my show and my staff on ON THE RECORD at 7p since we have worked hard to give Cruz equal opportunity and we have. Hence I respond with the whole story. If Senator Ted Cruz told the whole story this is what he would have to tell...

TED CRUZ just screwed YOU out of your Social Security income...at least he did for me! I was getting widow benefits...but no more! Obama was happy to sign it! [snip]Politicians describe Social Security as "the third rail," meaning that enacting any benefit cuts will kill them politically. But this is precisely what they voted to do under the Bipartisan Budget Bill of 2015. Spouses as well as divorced spouses (who were married for 10 or more years) who reached 62 by Jan. 2 can still collect just their spousal or divorced spousal benefit between 66 and 70 and then take...

Ted Cruz's presidential campaign has a short list of potential vice presidential picks that includes former rival Carly Fiorina, campaign aides announced Monday. Cruz's campaign manager tweeted that they "have narrowed our VP candidates to a short list and are going thru the normal processes associated with picking a running mate." A top aide to Fiorina confirmed to NBC News that the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who endorsed Cruz earlier this year was on the list. The vice presidential candidate selection process has typically been a secretive one in modern presidential politics. Candidates generally shy away from talking publicly about the...

A member of the Republican National Committee rules panel accused his own party leadership of “institutional tyranny” on Monday, another escalation in the growing internal battle over the party’s arcane parliamentary procedures. Solomon Yue, the Oregon committeeman and member of the RNC’s Rules Committee, sent a more than 1,300-word email, obtained by POLITICO, to members of the rules panel on Monday morning, charging that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus and his allies had improperly tried to scuttle Yue’s proposal to change the underlying rulebook for what could be the party’s first contested convention in 40 years this summer. Yue is the...

They're not even trying to hide their lack of enforcement of immigration law. The president of the National Border Patrol Council testified before Congress that a top Homeland Security official told agents that the Obama administration has "no intention of deporting" most illegal aliens. This "catch and release" policy amounts to a de facto amnesty for the tens of thousands of illegals who jump the border every year. DHS claims that the policy is in place because immigration courts are clogged up. So instead of expanding the number of judges and courts, they simply give up and allow the illegals...

Lindsey Graham will host a fundraiser for Ted Cruz next Monday. While Graham has not formally endorsed Cruz, the fundraiser is a sign that Graham at least prefers Cruz over Donald Trump and John Kasich, something Graham confirmed in a comment to the Washington Examiner. "He's the best alternative to Donald Trump," he said.

Recent events on college campuses and political rallies have brought about questions concerning freedom of speech. What does our constitution really mean when it says we have the freedom to verbally express ourselves in whatever way we see fit, without fear of retribution from people or organizations that disagree with us? It seems that some people interpret it to include intimidation, shouting down dissenting opinions or disrupting gatherings where differing ideas are being espoused. To literally go up on a platform and take the microphone away from a person making a speech and have to be forcefully removed. That has...

Several hundred ranchers gathered at a small-town high school in the Bootheel on Thursday to rally against what they described as a broken border. Ranchers here have been steaming over the reported kidnapping of a ranch hand in December, when drug runners allegedly hijacked the man’s vehicle, loaded it with narcotics and drove him to Arizona. He came home “roughed up,” Concerns about border security have simmered for years for those who live among the region’s sprawling ranches and rugged mountain ranges. Sometimes, fears boil over, such as after the unsolved 2010 murder of southern Arizona rancher Robert Krentz.. Representatives...

During a special "Hannity" event, a wounded U.S. marine took Sean's seat so that he could deliver a special message to Donald Trump. USMC Cpl. Tony Porta was wounded by an IED that killed two of his squad mates, and now he is the spokesperson for Veterans for Trump. "When you become president, I don't want you to work for those guys who are giving tons of money to a lot of people. I want you to work for us," Porta said. Watch the powerful moment above.

The actor, starring in the new movie “God’s Club,” shared why he thinks Trump is the best candidate in “The Church Boys” podcast on The Blaze TV this week. “I like Donald Trump because — I said this to Don Lemon on CNN a week before the first Republican national debate — I said, ‘I like Donald Trump as a man, I like Donald Trump potentially as a president, because he doesn’t care what you think,'” Baldwin said. Appearing, and being “fired” twice, on “Celebrity Apprentice” gave Baldwin a personal perspective of the GOP front-runner as someone who does not...

Before you read this bombshell from the New York Times , remember a few things: 1. The NYT loves illegals and amnesty. 2. The NYT hates conservatives. Marco Rubio Pushed for Immigration Reform With Conservative Media http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/28/us/politics/marco-rubio-pushed-for-immigration-reform-with-conservative-media.html?_r=3 The mainstream media (led by the NYT) will do anything it can to make sure Hillary gets elected. I last interviewed Senator Rubio face to face in Washington DC regarding illegal aliens and his push for amnesty in 2013. It did not go well for Rubio. Listen to the entire interview here. The interview took place at an event I’ve attended for a...

Even though the Republican establishment fundraising group privately calls leading GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump a “misguided missile” who is “subject to farcical fits” and advises candidates to emulate but not tie themselves too closely to Trump, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is still soliciting donations using Trump’s name as a motivator to contribute. A holiday-themed email from the NRSC went out this week offering an “I’m with Trump!” car magnet for a minimum donation of $10 The email was forwarded to The Gateway Pundit, from a recipient who wishes to remain anonymous, with the message, “These (expletives) are raising...

Previously we told you how Ted Cruz is profiting from stolen Trump campaign contributions by way of the NRSC. Some of that follows: FUND raisers for Cruz https://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/partytime.php?cid=N00033085 The NRSC (which Cruz helped operate) is who is stealing campaign contributions from Trump supporters...and Ted is profiting from it. Debt Retirement Reception@ National Republican Senatorial Committee (Gotta help pay off Goldman Sachs loans!) Beneficiaries: Ted Cruz Contribution: $2,000; $1,000 (suggested contributions at event) I understand how people might not want to put any confidence in a blog and the emails that back up this series of articles about the NRSC &...

Mark “Oz” Geist and John “TIG” Tiegen, two members of the security team that helped rescue dozens of Americans during the Benghazi terror attacks, have endorsed Donald Trump for president. According to a statement released Sunday: Mr. Trump stated, “I am truly honored to have the support of these American heroes, the best of their generation. The American people can know with certainty, I will always place their interest above all else. I am the most militaristic person and it is so important to me to strengthen our military and protect American families and freedoms.” Mark “Oz” Geist said, “We,...

After Jamiel Shaw's son, Jamiel Shaw Jr., was killed back in 2008, there was a splash of media attention mourning the senseless murder of a young man on the right path. Then came a long, dark silence when it seemed that the world forgot. But Donald Trump, who Shaw believes was "sent from God," didn't forget. Last year, the Republican presidential candidate contacted Shaw to talk about the tragedy, in which Shaw's 17-year-old son was killed while walking home. Two Hispanic men had waylaid him, demanding to know what gang he was in. The young man, a star football player...

Laura Wilkerson spoke to Senate Judiciary Committee last July on illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. Laura is the mother of Joshua Wilkerson, an 18 year-old Texas teenager who was brutally murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2010. Today Laura Wilkerson, whose son was tortured and murdered by an illegal immigrant, endorsed Donald Trump. Wilkerson, who is a very religious person, said, the pope does not care about her. Breitbart.com reported: In an exclusive telephone interview with Breitbart News, Laura Wilkerson, whose son was tortured to death by an illegal alien, explained why she cast her early ballot today for GOP...

Laura Ingraham, who is a conservative radio host, gave a warning to the GOP presidential candidates that they should stop defending the actions of President George W. Bush because "millions and millions" of Republican voters believe the Iraq War that he got the United States into was a mistake. During the CBS hosted GOP Republican presidential debate last Saturday night, GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump accused George W. Bush of lying about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. "Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake, all right?" Trump said. "They lied. They said there were weapons of...
