Free Republic

"The US Chamber of Commerce is out with a new six-figure ad meant to back newly appointed Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss) in her fall bid for re-election, which will pit her in a tight race against State Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) among other opponents. The early effort is indicative of the Republican establishment's push to rally around Hyde-Smith, who was appointed by Gov. Phil Bryant (r) to fill Sen. Thad Cochran's (R) vacant seat." "The Hill"-4/13/2018 "'Let's get every America First Conservative out to the rally in support of President Trump,' the McDaniel email reads,"Show the President that Trump Country...

Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is in talks with the Fox New Channel to join the network, a Fox spokeswoman has confirmed. She declined to say what role Brown would play at the cable network.

“You can’t tell me that America is not exceptional. You can't tell me that because I've seen it” "Rick Perry has always remained faithful." -- First Lieutenant Daniel P. Moran [6:45] Medal recipients tell of their sacrifice and the sacrifice of their fellow heroes -- and why they support Rick Perry. Even if you don't support Gov. Perry, please watch these men and hear their words.

The telegenic Texan took two steps forward sitting in the “center chair” on Fox Monday evening. One step backward too alas, but more about that in a bit. Gov Perry was relaxed and alert as he fielded a variety of questions. He smartly used his answers to remind conservatives why they should consider him. This is a man who is a quick study and a formidable politician. Instead of just Texas this and Texas that he pointed out that the Lone Star state all by its lonesome is the 13th largest economy in the world. A nice way to pivot...

<p>California conservatives are being advised to muzzle our core beliefs in order to elect a Republican to statewide office again. Campaign operatives say our ideas don't sell any more, and we must throw them over in order for a Republican to win again in the Golden State. Pundits say we are in the political wilderness and that the only way out is to compromise our ideals.</p>
