  • Republicans Should Court Black Voters With Traditional Values

    An ongoing point of contention in the Republican Party has been the extent to which clear identification with traditional Judeo-Christian values is a good idea. My sense is that, when we add to the equation the growing impact of non-white voters, standing strongly for these traditional values -- which would put Republicans in stark contrast to Democrats -- would be a win-win for Republicans. My organization, CURE, just convened a meeting in Washington, D.C., of 25 black pastors from around the country, each with an average congregation size of about 1,000, to discuss ideas and policy. These are black Americans...
  • A New Global Police to Fight “Violent Extremism” in the U.S.?

    A New Global Police to Fight “Violent Extremism” in the U.S.? Why exactly does Obama want the “Strong Cities Network”? October 6, 2015 Matthew Vadum    The Obama administration plans to create a global police force that counters “violent extremism” in the United States and elsewhere. The problem is that in Obama-speak “violent extremism” refers not only to jihadists wishing to harm Americans but also to conservatives and Tea Party activists. Just ask all the law-abiding right-of-center nonprofit groups targeted by Lois Lerner’s IRS during the Obama presidency. Ominously, President Obama and U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch unveiled the...
  • Iranian Terrorist Attack Against U.S. Revealed-How Bill Clinton concealed it from the public

    Iranian Terrorist Attack Against U.S. Revealed How Bill Clinton concealed it from the public and U.S. intelligence. October 7, 2015 Arnold Ahlert    A bombshell report by the Washington Times reveals that fecklessness in the face of terror isn’t a condition exclusive to the Obama administration. "Bill Clinton’s administration gathered enough evidence to send a top-secret communique accusing Iran of facilitating the deadly 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing,” the Times states, "but suppressed that information from the American public and some elements of U.S. intelligence for fear it would lead to an outcry for reprisal, according to documents and interviews.” Nineteen American...
  • When Cruz Makes His Move, Watch Out

    National Review ^ | 10/7/2015 | Eliana Johnson
    The Texas senator may look like an also-ran, but he’s a legit contender. Where’s Ted Cruz? The outspoken Texas senator has been unusually quiet in recent weeks. But in GOP circles, there’s soft but growing chatter that he is likely to be one of the last men standing in one of the most chaotic and unpredictable presidential races in recent memory. You wouldn’t know it from his poll numbers. Cruz is running at about 6 percent nationally and in key states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. That’s well behind outsiders Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, and Ben Carson, and those...

  • FBI probe of Clinton e-mail expands to second data company ("cover-up" denied)

    washingtonpost.com ^ | 10/7/15 | Tom Hamburger and Rosalind S. Helderman w/ Spencer S. Hsu
    FBI investigations center on whether a second data company stored or transmitted classified information improperly. Connecticut-based, Datto Inc, provided backups for Clinton's e-mail accounts starting May 2013 by Colorado-based Platte River Networks, hired earlier by the Clinton family to manage the system after Hillary exited State. Datto's general counsel Michael Fass said Datto had received the Clinton's and from Platte River to turn over data. The FBI would receive a “node,” a piece of hardware Datto housed in Pennsylvania that stored data on its cloud. It is not clear whether the data includes material from Clinton’s time as secretary of...

  • How many emails has Hillary STILL not turned over? (more unreleased emails have been found)

    Daily Mail ^ | October 6, 2015 | J. Taylor Rushing
    A complete collection of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's emails during her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013 still may not be in the possession of the U.S. government. That's the assertion that the State Department made in a letter to Clinton's personal attorney, David Kendall, on Friday. The letter was sent after Defense Department officials uncovered a batch of emails that Clinton sent early in her tenure but did not turn over to the State Department upon their request last December. Clinton had surrendered 30,940 emails - but the Defense Department's discovery means there could...
  • Rand Paul Says You Too Can Be a Political Consultant!

    newsweek.com ^ | 10/6/15 | Jack Martinez and Matthew Cooper
    Consider it a casting call. In what may be a first in American politics, Rand Paul’s campaign announced an ad contest Tuesday inviting “liberty loving filmmakers” to submit a 30- to 35-second video that could become a spot. Videos must touch on one of four main themes of the presidential campaign for Paul, whose poll numbers have slumped in recent weeks: term limits (he thinks senators should have them), defeating the “Washington Machine,” instituting a 14.5 percent flat tax and ending National Security Agency spying.

    Matt Drudge issued a dare to President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Tuesday, during a rare radio interview with Alex Jones. Drudge was responding to Jones asserting that a civil war may ensue if politicians attempt to confiscate guns. “Well, because they are all armed themselves. Where they all have that security around them themselves. They don’t have to worry about [security],” said Drudge, who refused to be on camera. “I challenge Hillary, take away your Secret Service. Take it away now! Take away your Secret Service! Dismiss them. Have no security around you. Have no guns around you, Hillary....

    WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton hired a Connecticut company to back up her emails on a “cloud” storage system, and her lawyers have agreed to turn whatever it contains over to the FBI, a personal familiar with the situation said Tuesday. The disclosure came as a Republican Senate committee chairman, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, also asked the firm to turn over to the committee copies of any Clinton emails still in its possession. There were conflicting accounts as to whether the development could lead to recovery of any of Clinton’s more than 31,000 personal emails, which she said she deleted from her...

    "He's a master brander, and he's the most interesting character out there," the former president said about Trump's campaign success. Bill Clinton appeared on Tuesday's Late Show, where he weighed in on Donald Trump's early polling success. During the episode of the CBS late-night program, host Stephen Colbert asked the former president why he thinks Trump is off to such a hot start. "Because he's a master brander, and he's the most interesting character out there," Clinton said. "And because he says something that overrides the ideological differences." Clinton explained that Trump will brush aside questions about his political past...

    Media kingpin Matt Drudge on Tuesday railed against Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s health and her politics, saying he was worried the nation would end up “with Hillary’s brain in the Oval Office in a jar.” “She’s old and she’s sick,” the Drudge Report founder said in an interview with Alex Jones. Drudge slammed the media for propping up Clinton’s candidacy. “She’s not a contender. They’re making her a contender with these propped up Saturday Night Live things. It’s like a head on a stick,” he said, chiding NBC for “giving her endless hours of airtime.” Note: Complete 45 minute...

    Within hours of the killings at Umpqua Community College in Oregon last week, President Obama stepped to the White House lectern, admittedly without all the facts of the case, to shamelessly politicize the tragedy. “Somebody, somewhere will comment and say, Obama politicized this issue. Well, this is something we should politicize,” he said. Perhaps Obama’s open politicizing of the issue wasn’t the worst part, but instead it was his intellectual dishonesty when it comes to the “common-sense” gun laws he wants implemented. “What’s become routine, of course, is the response of those who oppose any kind of common-sense gun legislation....

    Exclusive - New emails obtained by Fox News show that in March 2011, at the height of the Arab Spring revolution inside Libya, dictator Muammar Qaddafi’s son Saif was willing to talk peace from the ground in Libya – but a source told Fox News the offer was rejected by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In the years since Qaddafi was forced from power, Libya's government has collapsed, and extremist groups including ISIS have exploited the power vacuum. While the Obama administration has promoted the use of "soft power" and diplomacy, the documents suggest the option was not vigorously pursued...
