You can elect not to agree with my conclusion, but if this election is stolen from Donald Trump, the utter collapse of America will be almost immediate. If Donald Trump wins (as he certainly should), and if the Lord tarries, the collapse of America will be stalled for perhaps another 15-20 years barring another world war Hillary Clinton and Erebusic neo-cons are committed to starting. Our system of jurisprudence is supposed to protect us from the incestuous camorra guilty of duplicitous machinations; instead the legal system and specifically the federal system works to protect the most egregious criminal offenders ever...

Since both candidates in Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate have a record when it comes to religious liberty, you can bet the topic will come up—giving you the opportunity to talk with the people in your life about a deeply important issue. Unsurprisingly, religious liberty is a tricky topic to navigate because it’s personal. People feel strongly about the ability to live life as they want, but some betray the concept of tolerance by crying “intolerant!” if others want to live life through the lens of their faith. So, how do you talk about religious liberty with someone who thinks...

The first presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was a major event and with that, there is pressure to appear to be informed. So we went out on the street during the afternoon before the debate and asked people what they thought of the debate 'last night.' The debate hadn't even occurred yet, but that did not stop them in this special debate edition of #LieWitnessNews.

The Second Presidential Debate Will Try Something New Ordinary Americans will be able to submit—and vote on—questions to be considered when the candidates meet again. Viewers unhappy with the questions asked at Monday night’s debate will have a shot to weigh in before Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton meet again on October 9: For the first time, the networks producing the town-hall style debate have agreed to accept questions voted on through the internet. The Commission on Presidential Debates had already announced that the second of three debates would feature questions submitted online in addition to those asked by the...

For over a year now, the mainstream press has attacked Trump for not being "presidential".  Even still, citizens are genuinely concerned that their president look the part of a president and carry themselves in a way that makes us proud.  So what exactly is meant when someone says a candidate looks or is "presidential"?  And why should we care?  This is the subject I'm going to explore and discuss in this vanity. JFK, Jackie and the Royalty of Camelot Well, to begin, I think our current notion of a "presidential" style was strongly influenced by JFK in the 1960s. ...

"Looking back I know I should have followed my doctors orders to test, but my instinct was to push through it," Clinton said at the Black Women's Agenda forum. "That is what women do every day."

The Commission on Presidential Debates has made its decision on who will be presiding over the 2016 face-offs between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. The debate on September 26 will be moderated by Lester Holt of NBC. Anderson Cooper of CNN and Martha Raddatz of ABC will co-moderate the second debate on October 9. Finally, Fox anchor Chris Wallace will host the third debate on October 19.

Hillary's whole plan: Shift the subject. Ignore the facts. Name call. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has resorted to S.I.N. on steroids! What’s that, you ask? Shift the subject. Ignore the facts. Name call. Hillary does not want to answer questions about the Clinton Foundation, the e-mail scandal, Benghazi, the economy or ObamaCare, so she keeps her press conferences to a minimum. Even members of her adoring news corps get candy treats instead of answers from Hillary.

(CNN)It's the most deceptive sign in politics. Every four years, a presidential candidate gazes out over a vast crowd and convinces themselves the White House is there for the taking. In 2016, the general election candidate drawing the biggest and loudest crowds is Donald Trump. "We got to Oklahoma, we have 25,000 people. We had 21,000 people in Dallas, we had 35,000 people in Mobile, Alabama. We get these massive crowds," Trump said in Florida earlier this month. "Look, if she had 500 people I would be surprised," he added, poking fun at Hillary Clinton's more intimate events.During the primaries,...

Stay focused Presidential campaigns have very high points, very low points and lots of slogging in between. I can certainly tell you about that. And the past week saw more than a few rough spots for Donald Trump, whose failure to be measured in the things he said gave his media enemies the perfect excuse to paint him as erratic and out of control. And as Rob told you on Wednesday, this led to media speculation that the Republican Party might be discussing a Plan B in the event Trump himself decided to drop out of the race.

So much time between now and then.

Wright State President David Hopkins announced Tuesday the university has withdrawn from hosting the first presidential debate in September. WSU cited rising costs and security costs Costs rose from $3.5 million to over $8 million University informed Commission on Presidential Debates at noon WSU in an internal remediation to overcome budget deficit UPDATE @ 2:58 p.m.: The president of Wright State’s faculty union, Martin Kich, said cancelling the debate was probably for the best. “I think It’s unfortunate we’ve gotten two months away from it and we have to pull the plug on it.

“In light of Wright State University’s announcement of earlier today, the September 26, 2016 Presidential Debate will be held at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. The Commission very much appreciates Wright State’s efforts. Hofstra University served very successfully as a presidential debate site in 2012. On September 23, 2015, the Commission announced that Hofstra University had agreed to serve as an alternate site this debate cycle if needed. The Commission looks forward to working with Hofstra once again.”

pulled quote: "... Since Roosevelt’s Presidency, the Executive Office of the President has gained about 2,000 people, and the number of political appointees has increased to more than 7,000. Setting aside White House staffers and about 3,000 part time Presidential appointments, each new President fills about 3,000 positions with his or her partisans. To lead departments and agencies, contemporary Presidents make appointments to about 800 full time PAS positions, which require Senate confirmation (not including US attorneys, US marshals, or ambassadors, which are also PAS). In addition, each new administration can appoint partisans amounting to 10% of the Senior Executive...

Ted Cruz is quitting the presidential race, according to campaign manager Jeff Roe, ending one of the best-organized campaigns of 2016 after a series of stinging defeats left Donald Trump as the only candidate capable of clinching the nomination outright.
