Bill O'Reilly just promoting his interview with Jeb Bush for Friday night. According to O'Reilly, it will be Jeb as you've never seen him before. And he will have some interesting things to say about Trump.

Deputies responded to a shooting in the town of Inglis, just north of Citrus County Thursday night. Levy County Sheriff's deputies confirm three people were shot along with the gunman, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Deputies said the shootings happened around 6:10 p.m. Deputies responded to a residence near the town hall and found two men shot outside. One of the men was dead and the other was transported to the hospital with serious injuries, deputies said...

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says the Republican Party has shifted much further right than the rest of the country — and GOP leaders must get its fringe members in line. During an appearance at the Washington Ideas Forum on Wednesday, Powell said it “should be obvious to party leaders that they cannot keep saying and doing the things that they were doing and hope to be successful in national-level election in the future, not just in 2016.”

The United States is being deluged with illegal immigrants, spurred on by the hope of amnesty. In response, conservative lawmakers have introduced a wide array of legislative proposals to clamp down on illegal immigration. Breitbart News can now exclusively report that, despite Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)80% ’s campaign rhetoric, the presidential hopeful hasn’t cosponsored a single one of these immigration enforcement proposals, nor introduced any of his own in the two years since he was the very public face of the Gang of Eight in the Senate.

Democrat Leader Leaves Job for Radical Islamic Group Tamara Tillman Ayon makes choice to align herself with terror and bigotry. October 1, 2015 Joe Kaufman    For over six years, Tamara “Tammy” Ayon was leading the Democratic Party in Broward County, Florida. But that changed this year, when she left her position as Executive Director of the party to take a job with an Islamist group with ties to terrorism and bigotry. And while both groups work to involve themselves with politicians, the goals and associations of the two are as distant from each other as the difference between...

Jeb Bush today painted Marco Rubio as one of his disciples as he sees Rubio overtake him in the polls. "I'm a proven leader," Bush told CNN's Dana Bash in New Hampshire. "I disrupted the old order in Tallahassee. I relied on people like Marco Rubio and many others to follow my leadership and we moved the needle."

Published on Sep 30, 2015 September 30, 2015: GOP Presidential candidate and front-runner Donald J. Trump was back in New Hampshire today and gave a speech to a fired up crowd in Keene. Trump held nothing back tonight, even ca

@FrankLuntz: @realDonaldTrump does best going against political correctness, @marcorubio does best on substance. #Hannity

So based on the criteria for the 3rd debate, it's possible we may be down to only 6, since if those polling near 3% now drop below a 3% average for 9/17 to 10/21 (which seems likely) then they are OUT! And since they should still be arranging where each one stands based on polls - the we should expect to see Bush move from center stage (top two) to the third (and hopefully) bottom tier (5th and 6th). So then the visual that results will be really bad for Jebby, as all will notice that the one the media...

Bedford, New Hampshire (CNN)Jeb Bush and Donald Trump clashed over how to handle the Syrian refugee crisis -- and just about everything else, including whether Bush is really friends with Marco Rubio -- during dueling Wednesday night town hall events in New Hampshire. By the end of the night, Bush had even told Trump to put on his "big boy pants." In their most substantive policy dispute, the two disagreed sharply over whether refugees who fled the Middle East amid ISIS' rise should be allowed in the United States. "I think we're duty-bound to provide support," Bush said in Bedford.

Pembroke Pines Police have arrested a man in connection with a burglary in which nearly 100 firearms were stolen from a home. On Thursday, Sept. 17, police said a house in the 10000 block of Northwest 1st Street was burglarized and thieves made off with 96 firearms valued at $60,000. Police said 19-year-old Jesus Regueiro was seen receiving a container that contained some of those firearms from within the victim's fence line. A search warrant served later that day at Regueiro's Hollywood home uncovered 55 of those stolen firearms. Regueiro was arrested Monday and charged with burglary. He's been ordered...

The unlikely election of Marco Rubio to the US Senate was an early TEA Party success story, and he really should have went on to bigger and better things. Sadly his slow, steady absorption into the corrupt Party establishment have made his name MUD in my eyes... You know, this is a guy I could have supported all the way to the top- always loved these Reaganite Cubans down in Florida, seem to agree with them on most everything- those who've escaped the Castro's island gulag are the kind of people who truly understand what America's all about. My own...

Just upgraded at 8am advisory.

PPP's newest North Carolina poll finds that Donald Trump is holding his ground- at least compared to where he was in the state six weeks ago. Trump leads with 26% to 21% for Ben Carson, 12% for Carly Fiorina, 10% for Marco Rubio, 9% for Ted Cruz, 6% for Mike Huckabee, 5% for Jeb Bush, 4% for John Kasich, and 2% for Chris Christie. Rounding out the field are Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal at 1%, and Jim Gilmore, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Rand Paul all at less than 1%. Trump's 26% is almost identical to his 24% standing...

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio appeared on "Hannity" tonight to weigh in on a variety of topics, including his recent war of words with Donald Trump. "It's very clear he’s a very insecure person. He doesn’t like to be criticized," Rubio said. "The presidency is a tough job. You’re going to be criticized, and you can’t flip out every time somebody says something about you. He does. And that’s his problem."

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s oil shipping business is partly financed by progressive billionaire George Soros’s Chinese business partner and protégé. Bush’s ties to the left-wing Democratic donor could cast further suspicion on his personal business dealings during the Republican primary season. Bush is the chairman of BH Logistics, a $26 million private equity fund that was incorporated in April 2014. Who invested in BH Logistics? Bush’s firm received a major investment from HNA Group, a Chinese private equity firm. Bush took the money from HNA Group and spent it to invest in the gas shipping company Dorian LPG, which...

Americans are funny about taxes: When we complain about them, we don’t moan that we are paying too much — we lament that others are paying too little. In a Pew Research Center poll last year, only 27 percent of Americans cited their own tax liabilities among their complaints about the tax code, while 64 percent complained that other taxpayers — the wicked 1 percenters, the dreaded corporations — were getting off too easy. If you’ve ever met anybody who believes that we can balance the budget by cutting foreign aid, that the Social Security “trust fund” is a real...

Once hailed as the likely Republican nominee, Jeb Bush’s support has been sliced in half from July to September and now stands at 7% as a variety of potential voters turned to other candidates, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. Mr. Bush is in fifth place among likely GOP voters after real estate developer Donald Trump, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio (R.,Fla.) and former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Mr. Bush lost support across the board: among men and women, voters under and over 50 years of age, talk-radio listeners, and values and tea-party voters...
