Remember the Trump-hating Lincoln Project? That was the big-dollar NeverTrump group that included among its luminaries George Conway, the unhinged Trump-hating husband of the unfortunate Kellyanne Conway. They included many Dubya Bush administration operatives who'd been left out of the Trump administration and wanted revenge. Their loathing of Trump only got greater after that, and they threw their support to Joe Biden, raising $78 million and creating extremely nasty presidential campaign ads to take down Trump. They worked closely with Democrats and took their money, promising to help peel away Republicans to help Joe Biden. When that didn't happen and...

U.S. Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris congratulated President-elect Joe Biden in a now-viral clip that shows the relationship the two have fostered. The eight-second video, which has been viewed more than 19 million times as of Saturday afternoon, shows Harris speaking with Biden over the phone, seemingly while out on a walk or jog.

French inventor Franky Zapata has zoomed across the English Channel on his jet-powered flyboard, making the 35k crossing between Sangatte on the northern coast of France and St. Margaret's Bay in Dover in twenty minutes.

German police said Monday two more bodies have been found during investigations into the deaths of three people discovered in a Bavarian hotel room and killed by crossbow bolts. The bodies were found in Gifhorn, Lower Saxony, in the apartment of one of the women discovered in Passau, Bavaria. The apartment was searched in order to shed light on the Passau discoveries. Detectives were hoping for clues to the mysterious deaths of one man and two women, all apparently dead from being shot by crossbows. Gifhorn police told DPA they were investigating the identities of the two newly discovered...

A rally to denounce the perceived censorship of politically conservative views and speech by social media drew dozens of right-wing demonstrators and counterprotesters to San Francisco City Hall on Friday. Dubbed the “Demand Free Speech” rally, the event was intended to underscore the belief among many conservatives that companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter discriminate against right-wing viewpoints. Big tech companies have shown a clear bias against conservatives, they argue, as evidenced by the suspension or outright banning of right-wing users’ accounts.

SAN DIEGO – U.S. Navy Captain (Retired) David Williams Haas was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on charges that he received at least $145,000 in bribes from foreign defense contractor Leonard Francis, who plied him with parties at luxurious hotels, prostitutes, top-shelf booze and food. In separate indictments, Master Chief Petty Officer (Retired) Ricarte Icmat David and Chief Petty Officer (Retired) Brooks Alonzo Parks were charged with honest services fraud for receiving cash, luxury travel, lavish hotel suites, dining and the services of prostitutes from Francis, owner and chief executive of Glenn Defense Marine Asia. The company provided...

A 19-year-old man who spent 60 hours locked alone inside a gated southern Indiana cave says he feels lucky to be alive. Indiana University freshman Lukas Cavar was on a spelunking trip to Sullivan Cave when he became separated Sunday afternoon from 12 other members of the university's Caving Club. Cavar is an enthusiast of spelunking, the exploration of caves as a hobby. When he eventually reached the cave entrance, Cavar found club members had padlocked its gate, unaware that he remained inside.

(WASHINGTON) -- Washington, D.C., police are investigating the apparent suicide of a U.S. Secret Service supervisory agent assigned to President Obama’s security detail. “Rafael Prieto had a distinguished 20-year career with the Secret Service that was marked by accomplishment, dedication, and friendships,” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in a prepared statement. “The Secret Service is mourning the loss of a valued colleague.” Prieto was in the midst of an administrative process related to his relationship with a foreign national, officials said. Sources said there was no criminal investigation into Prieto and stressed that he was not connected in any...

The White House struck back at Newt Gingrinch on Sunday for the presidential wanna-be's criticism of Obama and his remarks about the Trayvon Martin killing. The President said on Friday that “if I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon." "I think (Trayvon’s parents) are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened," Obama said. Gingrich, in a radio interview that same day, blasted the President’s comments as “disgraceful.” "It's not a question of who that...

Just moments ago on the Sean Hannity radio show, GOP candidate and RINO Rick Santorum took it upon himself to convict George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. He said, and I’m paraphrasing slightly: It was a heinous crime and he did a despicable, unjustifiable thing and the Sanford police should have reacted to that immediately. Again, I am paraphrasing a little as I did not have a recorder running to get his exact words, but that was essentially his statement.

Newt Gingrich at Baton Rouge Tea Party Forum. Straw poll to be taken later in the evening. Newt to also appear on CNN's Piers Morgan program at 10pm eastern.

(CNN) – Despite a statement from Rick Santorum's campaign touting Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley's vote for the candidate, the governor's office said Tuesday that Bentley will not be publicly endorsing a candidate for the state's primary.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama ---Republican presidential primary candidates Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, vying for the image of the most conservative candidate, spoke to a packed audience in downtown Birmingham tonight. The candidates, speaking at a forum at the Alabama Theatre sponsored by the Alabama GOP, both heavily criticized President Barack Obama while also critiquing the other candidates, even if it wasn't always by name. "You need to look to a leader that believes in you, and that's where I lie," Santorum said. The crowd was friendly to both candidates but seemed most warm to Gingrich, as was apparent by multiple cheers...

Sen. Rick Santorum calls himself the Republican point man on lobbying reform in Washington. But Santorum's reform plan doesn't deal at all with lobbyists running charities on behalf of members of Congress. Good thing for the Senator, because Team 4 has discovered that's exactly who's in charge of his charity, Operation Good Neighbor. Santorum has been handing out lots of checks from his charity, Operation Good Neighbor, since he formed it in 2001. "To me, it was part of a mission that I set out, which is I'm a great believer in the non-profit sector. I strongly believe we have...

'I don't think that Barack Obama is really looking out for my interests as he said he would,' 26-year-old law student tells MTV News. ATLANTA — When we showed up at the pseudo-ritzy Renaissance Hotel in suburban Atlanta last night for Newt Gingrich's victory party — looking like a hot mess after 12 hours of Super Tuesday shenanigans at Georgia Tech and Georgia State — we were planning to chat with diehard young Republicans who'd been reppin' their party since they were in Reagan-themed diapers. And sure, there were plenty of GOP geeks in full Newt regalia spittin' campaign lines...

Rick Santorum’s campaign said it’s not planning for any more GOP primary debates, while Newt Gingrich is calling for one to happen before next Tuesday’s contests. Gingrich said on Monday he planned to attend an upcoming debate in Portland, Ore., hosted by PBS. He also said he wanted there to be more debates, possibly in Mississippi and Alabama, states with upcoming primaries in which the former House Speaker is hoping to do well. Mitt Romney’s campaign wouldn’t say if the former Massachusetts governor will attend the Portland debate, and the Santorum campaign wouldn’t commit either.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Steve Bridges. His passing comes as a shock to all of us. The cause of death is not known at this time, but we will publish more information as it becomes available. Steve brought joy and laughter to millions and was a great inspiration to all who knew him. He will be sadly missed. Our prayers go to his family at this time.

Contra Michigan, early voting may save Santorum in TN. Basically a 3 way tie among election day voters, but he's up with early ones.

Had Michigan not been as close, the Democrats would have waited to spring this on us in the general election. Luckily we have it now and I hope Ohio voters are paying attention. In July 2009, Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed in USA Today urging Barack Obama to usean individual mandate at the national level to control healthcare costs. On the campaign trail now, Mitt Romney says the individual mandate is appropriate for Massachusetts, but not the nation. Repeatedly in debates, Romney has said he opposes a national individual mandate. But back in 2009, as Barack Obama was formulating his...
