The next president of the United States will be officially determined, according to our careful and deliberative constitutional routine, on December 14, 2020. The elite media are clearly taking great delight in declaring who America’s next president is. The Atlantic informs us that not only did Joe Biden win, but “America won.” Why? Because Biden won! Never mind that about half the country feels exactly otherwise. That has been much of the legacy media’s problem all along. They are not shy about telling all of us what’s supposedly good for every last one of us, no questions or dissent allowed....

Basically Steven(Louder With Crowder) Crowder makes mincemeat outta Kamala's comparison between Trump's handling of the Chinese Virus vs. Obama/Biden's handling of the alleged Ebola "Pandemic".

More than two-dozen candidates made a bid for either the Republican or Democratic nomination for president in the 2020 election cycle, making for especially crowded Democratic debate stages. But in the end, there can only be one nominee for each party. Here are the candidates who have dropped out of the race so far, ending their bids for the White House. Democrats Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo. -- Bennet, who ran as a moderate, stayed in the race until New Hampshire but struggled to gain any traction. He left the contest on Feb. 11. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J. -- Booker was...

Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet suspended his 2020 presidential bid Tuesday, as early results from New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary showed him failing to break out of the crowded Democratic field.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R), who is challenging President Trump for the GOP presidential nomination, said Friday that lawmakers should let the market decide when it comes to regulation on climate change. Though Weld didn’t mention anyone by name, he criticized climate change proposals put forth by 2020 Democratic presidential contenders, arguing that a carbon tax is a much more feasible and economic alternative to address the the crisis. He told Hill.TV that his proposal would not tell people what to do, which was an advantage to the other proposals. “They make their own decisions,” he said. “That’s letting...

As America draws near to the important act of voting, there are some spiritual details we might miss. When, in the first century, Paul wrote to the Christians in Ephesus, the culture was dominated by the worship of the goddess Artemis. A kind of Mother Nature served by galli (homosexual priests), she symbolized human autonomy from the Creator and represented the universal worship of Nature. Acts 19 gives us a sense of the spiritual state of Ephesus and so helps us as we consider our present situation. Architecturally impressive, Ephesus was full of sorcerers, witches and astrologers, who practiced occult...

With less than 100 days until the election, the Never Trump movement has fielded yet another independent presidential candidate to keep Republican nominee Donald Trump out of the White House. This time their candidate is Evan McMullin. Here is what we know about him. Candidacy Announced by Joe Scarborough

Leaked emails obtained by The Intercept reveal Hillary Clinton’s multiple stances on fracking—which apparently differ depending on whether we’re talking about fracking on U.S. soil or abroad. At a debate with Bernie Sanders in New York in early April, Hillary Clinton said she doesn’t support fracking, unless certain conditions are met, such as acceptance from the community and full disclosure of the chemicals that will be used in the process of releasing oil and gas from shale rock. Just four years ago, however, she was quick to point fingers at communities abroad who were fighting proposed fracking projects in Poland,...

Donald Trump would do himself and this country a huge favor if he would do to Hillary what the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth did to John Kerry in the 2004 election: bring together the people from her past who know the off-stage, off-camera, hard-focus Hillary, and let them share with America their experiences with this woman who would be queen. Those people are the state troopers in Arkansas and the U.S. Secret Service agents who once served on her protective details. Like those brave sailors who served with John Kerry when his true lack of character was on full...

If the leaders of the Republican establishment really want to elbow Donald Trump aside, they would rerun Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. This time, though, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan would be on top of the ticket and Romney would be his running mate, and not the other way around, as it was in 2012. Of course, the Romney/Ryan ticket was defeated by Democrat President Obama and Joe Biden. But both Obama and Biden are out of the picture in the 2016 election, so the coast is clea

Say BOO to Obama’s last wishes as president. Say NO to barking mad Hillary Clinton as the ‘Obama in Pantsuit President’. March 17, 2016: It’s time for freedom and liberty lovers everywhere to kick off the BOO Campaign. BOO! stands for Back Off Obama!, exactly what this Free Market Capitalism destroying ideologue should be told in capital letters. With a creeping poisonous Marxism that’s already dragged in the Vicar of Christ on Earth, the prime minister next door and asundry ‘leaders’ of other nations, it’s time to shout BOO (Back Off Obama!) from the rooftops.

"These are the times that try men's souls," wrote Thomas Paine. Surely, we are living in times of similar upheaval. Just consider: Going from 2008, when the United States first elected Barack Obama, who campaigned simultaneously on "Hope and Change" and "Fundamentally Transforming the United States of America"...to today, when (for a while) the candidates favored by the two parties to run for President, were Jeb Bush, which would have been three members of the Bush family in the Oval Office (move over, Roosevelts; move over, Adams!)...and Hillary Clinton, spouse of the disgraced Bill Clinton. But this is America: we...

Under fire from Democrats and the media for saying Hillary Clinton "got schlonged" in 2008 by Barack Obama, Republican hopeful Donald Trump doubled down. Claiming a candidate getting "schlonged" is "a commonly used word in politics," Trump refused to back down. Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

Ted Cruz is surging!  Ben Carson is sinking!  But all through this, Jeb Bush chugs along with his little five percent, the little engine that could (la máquina se puede).  We need him to stay in the race.  If Bush quits, all his support will go to Marco Rubio.  They have a very similar base of support, not merely geographically, but ideologically.  Both were big amnesty supporters for illegal aliens; the only difference is that Bush is still open about his continued support for it, while Marco doesn't dwell (and yet, Marco still, even today, quietly, wants to continue...

HOUSTON, Texas – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, today released the following statement regarding Gov. Scott Walker’s entry into the 2016 GOP campaign for President:“Scott Walker is a welcome addition to the 2016 Republican field and I’m glad to have him join the race. Gov. Walker has been a successful governor of Wisconsin where he bravely took on the unions to pass important right to work legislation. His talents will sharpen the field and make us all stronger as we prepare to face Hillary in the general election.”

Wisconsin governor should instantly catapult to top tier of GOP presidential contenders. On the one hand, I’m pumped about Scott Walker “finally” joining the presidential race - as absurd as that sounds 16 months before the election. On the other hand, I’m already rolling my eyes at what he will now have to go through. Walker will want to talk about his track record of taking on entrenched liberals in crucial battles in Madison - and beating them. Consistently. And he’ll want to talk about how he would apply those same approaches to governing the nation - which issues he...

Jim Webb, who left the U.S. Senate after representing Virginia for one term, said in a Washington radio interview Monday that he’s thinking of running for president.

If Rick Perry were to seek a quieter life after leaving office next January, none of his longtime aides and admirers would blame him.Already a grandfather, the longest-serving governor in Texas history will by then have capped off three full decades in public office and will be just a couple of months shy of his 65th birthday.There are weekend tailgates at Aggies games and hunting trips to attend, there’s big-time money to be made in a cushy private-sector job, and an opportunity to kick up his boots a little for the first time in his adult life.But as the end...
