Washington (CNN) — Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors from the Justice Department's public integrity unit, U.S. officials briefed on the probe say. The investigation dates to at least last year and has focused, at least in part, on whether donations to his gubernatorial campaign violated the law, the officials said. McAuliffe wasn't notified by investigators that he is a target of the probe, according to the officials. "The Governor will certainly cooperate with the government if he is contacted about it," said Marc Elias, attorney for McAuliffe campaign, in a statement to CNN. Read the ...

The nomination of Donald Trump for the Republican presidential candidate appears all but certain, unless something dramatic happens at the national convention in July. While establishment figures have ridiculed the openly pompous, bigoted reality TV figure, many of them are now supporting Trump in the interest of “unification.”The business mogul has enjoyed being frank to the point of carelessness in expressing his views, which have included characterizing Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, saying that lethal injection is “too comfortable” of a death sentence, calling to close off parts of the internet, and suggesting that the U.S. should ban Muslim immigrants. ...

“There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.” ― John Adams, Letter to Jonathan Jackson, October 1780A recent national poll has highlighted the problematic and autocratic nature of politics in the United States — the two party paradigm. When faced with two candidates, one on the perceived left and one on the perceived right, the poll reveals that the majority of Americans want neither.According to Data Targeting, Inc., the ...
Why Voting for the Lesser of Two Evils Is a Waste of Your Vote

I've voted for Republicans for president before. No more. Although my personal political philosophy is libertarian, like most people, over the years I have surrendered to the binary choice our two-party system gives us when casting my vote in presidential elections. I almost always find myself settling for a "lesser of two evils," but the "evil" is not so great as to prevent me from rationalizing what amounts to, by my vote, an endorsement or affirmation of the candidate. Because at least rhetorically, the Republican party candidate promises a greater commitment to limited, constitutional government, entitlement reform, tackling the national debt, and a ...

Gary Johnson and David Koch (Getty Images) Billionaire businessman and philanthropist David Koch has pledged “tens of millions of dollars” to help bankroll the campaign of Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, according to a source within Johnson’s campaign. Koch’s money will be made available should Johnson, a former two-term Republican governor of New Mexico, secure his second consecutive Libertarian Party presidential nomination, the source said. The Libertarians will select their presidential ticket during the party’s national convention later this month in Orlando. When asked about Koch’s eight-figure pledge to support Johnson, a source close ...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) told Breitbart News exclusively on Tuesday that most American companies would not take the risk of hiring former President Bill Clinton in the wake of sexual assault and rape allegations from a litany of women including Paula Jones, Juanita Broaddrick, Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, and more. “I think most company policies in most American corporations wouldn’t even hire someone like Bill Clinton because of his threat to the young people in the workplace,” Paul told Breitbart News in the exclusive phone interview. “As CEO in any company in America, his behavior with an intern would be so unacceptable that he’s really not someone that any ...

The New York Times’ front-page article last Saturday on Donald J. Trump’s dealings with women forced me into a weekend of self-examination. As much as I support Trump, this isn’t a cult of personality. He’s not Mao, Kim Jong-un or L. Ron Hubbard. We can like our candidates, but still acknowledge their flaws. No one’s perfect. I admit there are some things about Trump that give me pause. I’m sure these will come out eventually, so I’m just going to list them. First — and this is corroborated by five contemporaneous witnesses — in 1978, Trump violently raped Juanita Broaddrick in a Little Rock, Arkansas, hotel room, then, as he was leaving, ...

Since the beginning of the year, the political election process has exposed Americans to more corruption and vote rigging than at any time in history.Beginning in Iowa and eventually getting blown wide open in Arizona, the fraud and suppression of votes have let Americans know that their rulers are selected not elected.In Iowa, to break the supposed ties between Clinton and Sanders, the precincts held actual coin flips to decide this most crucial primary of the cycle. Clinton won all 6. However, the video below clearly shows Sanders winning at least one of those coin flips that was credited to Clinton.But it doesn’t stop there, the fraud was so rampant ...

Donald Trump has released a list of 11 judges whom he would consider nominating to the U.S. Supreme Court if he is elected president and the late associate justice Antonin Scalia's seat remains empty.

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump will meet with former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger on Wednesday. The meeting with Kissinger comes after apparently weeks of telephone conversations between the two men. Trump had a similar meeting last week with former Secretary of State James Baker. Baker released a brief statement after the fact, offering no signs of support. Earlier that same day he criticized some of Trump's foreign policy plans before a Senate committee, without directly mentioning the presumptive GOP nominee. "The more countries that acquire nuclear weapons, the more instability there is going to be in the world," Baker said ...

We must frankly face the fact that the front runners in both political parties represent a new low, at a time of domestic polarization and unprecedented nuclear dangers internationally. This year’s general election will offer a choice between a thoroughly corrupt liar and an utterly irresponsible egomaniac. The Republican establishment, whose serial betrayals of their supporters created the setting for a Donald Trump to arise, must now decide how best to deal with the apparent inevitability of his candidacy. Choosing among various unpalatable options may require some tricky maneuvering on their part, but they have been used to tricky maneuvering before, which is how they find ...

SALLY MILLER: Hillary and her ‘coke habit’

Like other men I’ve known, Bill Clinton fantasized about having a covey of females, all with full breasts, shapely long legs, and tight, eager vaginas in bed with him. After watching his bed-mates kiss and fondle each other for a while, then he’d join the action. When I asked Bill if he shared his fantasies with Hillary, he laughed. “What a joke! Sex is a waste of time to Hillary. When we were dating, she talked about making-out with her girlfriends in college because she knew it turned me on. Hillary seemed worldly and more sexually-experienced than me and, at the time, I liked it.” “Before we married, I got her pregnant and she had an abortion. It bothered me ...

Donald Trump has been stumping the Delaware ahead of the upcoming primary. Delaware is notorious for having extremely lax corporate tax laws, making it America’s top onshore tax haven. Donald Trump knows this, and bragged about how many companies he had registered there: Do we love Delaware, do we love it? When I left the office I asked for a couple of things. I said ‘Number one, I spend a fortune in Delaware, nobody knows that, right? It’s a great place. So I said to my people I had no idea, I said you know we do a lot of business in Delaware. That’s good, ’cause that means taxes and everything. So I said how many entities do we have registered in Delaware? Like ...

The billionaire presidential candidate who prides himself on paying his own way and bashed his competition for relying on political donors now wants their money — and lots of it. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, recently hired a national finance chairman, scheduled his first fundraiser and is on the cusp of signing a deal with the Republican Party that would enable him to solicit donations of more than $300,000 apiece from supporters. His money-raising begins right away. The still-forming finance team is planning a dialing-for-dollars event on the fifth floor of Trump Tower in New York, and the campaign is at work on a fundraising website focused on ...

Would make using eminent domain even easier.I love when the powerless get fed up with a corrupt establishment, defy political correctness and fight back. It's why I've admired Vera Coking, the feisty widow from Atlantic City, New Jersey, who stood up to Donald Trump and the city's development authority in the 1990s. They tried to use eminent domain—the power to take property by force—to bulldoze her house and turn it into a parking lot for Trump Plaza limousines."He's a maggot, a cockroach and a crumb, that's what he is," Coking said in a 1998 interview. She beat him in court and lived in the house for another decade before moving out West. According ...
Trump Fans and 'Social Justice Warriors,' Two Sides of the Same Authoritarian Coin

At first blush, the anti-political correctness crusaders that make up Donald Trump's online army have little in common with the so-called "social justice warriors" they claim to abhor. Some will even argue that trigger-warning-happy, intolerance-intolerant campus activists and their digital counterparts are actually driving otherwise level-headed and mild-mannered young folk straight into the arms of the Donald. But as well as these two millennial cohorts work as political foils on the surface, they're really better understood as two sides of the same authoritarian coin. Consider: both the social-justice left and the so-called "alt-right" view the world ...

Its platform favors civil liberties, small government, free markets and a non-interventionist foreign policy. ...
