3 Reasons Ben Carson’s Continuing Campaign Is A Total Scam

Has the mild-mannered nice guy who once beautifully put President Barack Obama on his heels at the National Prayer Breakfast back in 2013 duped us all? Well, it may be a stretch to go that far, but Republican presidential candidate and former neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson is certainly riding out his campaign, which he knows full well is over, for personal gain. Carson, who peaked in October, finished a disappointing fourth in Iowa and took a devastating eighth in New Hampshire. As The Daily Wire’s Aaron Bandler noted Thursday, “the people don't support Carson, as he's only polling at 7.8 percent nationally, 8.7 percent in South Carolina and is clearly lagging in ...
Sanders supporters revolt against superdelegates

The Bernie Sanders campaign is banking on a similar scenario to 2008.Outraged by the delegate deficit Sanders faces even after his New Hampshire win, the senator's backers are taking action.Bernie Sanders lost by a hair in Iowa and won by a landslide in New Hampshire. Yet Hillary Clinton has amassed an enormous 350-delegate advantage over the Vermont senator after just two states. Outraged by that disconnect – which is fueled by Clinton’s huge advantage with Democratic superdelegates, who are not bound by voting results – Sanders supporters are fighting back. Pro-Sanders threads on Reddit have been burning up with calls for action, with some supporters even reaching out ...
Jackie Mason: Bloomberg, With 12 Armed Bodyguards, Is a Hyprocrite on Gun Control

Comedian Jackie Mason on Sunday accused former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg of being a hypocrite on gun control. "He's standing there with 12 bodyguards, telling you that you shouldn’t have a gun to protect you, while he has 12 guys protecting him!" Mason said on Aaron Klein's Sunday radio show on AM 970 "The Answer." "As if his life counts, but yours is not important?" Mason said of Bloomberg, who says he is considering a run for president as an independent. "If guns are not important and nobody should have a gun to protect himself, why does Bloomberg have 12 bodyguards? Why doesn’t he stand there with 12 rabbis? Why do they have ...
President Kennedy and His Brother Robert Kennedy Were Murdered By The Military-Security Complex

Presstitute Media, such as the UK Telegraph, spend a lot of energy debunking exposes of government conspiracies. For example, the thousands of high-rise architects, structural engineers, physicists, nano-chemists, demolition experts, first responders, military and civilian pilots, and former government officials who have provided vast evidence that the official story of 9/11 is a made-up fairy tale at odds with all evidence and the laws of physics are dismissed by presstitutes as “conspiracy theorists.” Similarly, those, such as James W. Douglass, who have proven beyond all doubt that President John F. Kennedy was not assassinated by Oswald but by his own paranoid anti-communist ...
The Only Thing You Need to Know About John Kasich

After the New Hampshire primaries last night, everyone who still believes in the ridiculously rigged presidential election process in this country is wondering how in the hell John Kasich managed to get 2nd place, and how in the hell Jeb Bush managed to stay in somehow even though he has been consistently trailing everyone this entire time. Well, here’s a big fat clue. It comes from the summer of 1999, just before Jeb’s brother George W. was (s)elected. Kasich had a brief run for president which was announced in March 1999. Just a few months later in July, he was dropping out and supporting his “friend” George W. Bush. Or, rather, “bowing” to him: The ...
Surprise: Trump goes positive, yanks ad attacking Cruz in South Carolina

From now on, if you want to hear how Cruz is an unlikable illegal immigrant from Canada with a nasty disposition who cheated Ben Carson, has run wild like a “maniac” in the Senate, is on the take from Goldman Sachs, and, by the way, is a “pussy,” you’ll have to settle for watching Trump’s rallies or one of his 35 interviews a day on cable news. When it comes to ads, he’s all about positivity. On Tuesday, Donald J. Trump’s campaign started running a negative ad in South Carolina against Senator Ted Cruz that was searing, describing the winner of the Iowa Republican caucuses as a fake and a “Washington insider.” The spot also scolded Mr. Cruz ...
The libertarian case for Kasich

One week ago, Rand Paul officially suspended his presidential campaign. While the move was perhaps inevitable after disappointing Iowa results, his absence did leave an unanswered question: Where will disaffected libertarians and independents go? Answers abounded almost immediately. Ted Cruz? Donald Trump? Even Bernie Sanders? The circular speculating belies an important point – the Paul campaign may have struggled, but as Reason’s Nick Gillespie recently pointed out, the electorate’s slow, steady move toward independence and libertarian sympathies continues. For years, I have considered myself very much a part of this “libertarian moment.” As a teenager, I found my ...
Warning: The dirty tricks are about to start [in South Carolina]

In the run-up to their big presidential campaign moments, the big media players in Iowa and New Hampshire gave voters a useful online feature, an interactive calendar that let them track where candidates were appearing in person. Down in South Carolina, it’s different. The interactive site du jour launched last week is the Charleston Post and Courier’s ‘Whisper Campaign”—a digital tool that begs the public to help keep tabs on the coming blizzard of dirty tricks. As the White House hopefuls descend on South Carolina, site of the crucial Feb. 20 GOP primary and then the Democratic contest a week later, they're also heading straight into what might be the ...

Deposits totaling $32.2 million are lost in the collapse of the celebrity developer's hotel-condo project. SAN DIEGO — Stephen and Linda Drake cast aside concerns about owning property in Mexico because they believed in Donald Trump. The Southern California couple made a $250,000 down payment on a 19th-floor oceanfront condo in Trump Ocean Resort Baja in 2006 before the first construction crew arrived. But admiration for the celebrity developer and star of "The Apprentice" has now turned into anger and disbelief as Trump's luxury hotel-condo plan collapsed, leaving little more than a hole in the ground and investors out of their deposits, which totaled $32.2 ...
New Trump ad on Ted Cruz "What kind of man" released in South Carolina

A new ad for the South Carolina audience by the Trump campaign calls Ted Cruz the "worst kind of Washington Insider" and asks, "What kind of man is Ted Cruz?" What kind indeed, voters will likely ask themselves as they hear of the conduct of Cruz and his campaign. The ad points out inconsistencies and dirty tactics used by the Ted Cruz Campaign, claiming that Cruz has spoken from both sides of the issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants, and that Cruz denies any inconsistency despite being record on television presenting both perspectives. Loans in excess of a million dollars not disclosed by Cruz in his campaign filing papers—as is required by law—are also ...
Carly Fiorina: I suspend my candidacy today

This campaign was always about citizenship—taking back our country from a political class that only serves the big, the powerful, the wealthy, and the well connected. Election after election, the same empty promises are made and the same poll-tested stump speeches are given, but nothing changes. I've said throughout this campaign that I will not sit down and be quiet. I'm not going to start now. While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them. Our Republican Party must fight alongside these Americans as well. We must end crony ...

We have previously outlined the approach the Karl Rove/Lee Atwater GOPe types will use to take down Ted Cruz. –HERE– Cruz supporters are intensely committed to avoid vetting him and this presents a serious issue because when you don’t confront the problems you set yourself up for severe failure. The approach of “proselytizing as an electoral strategy” will bring money from intensely religious followers – but can never win a broad based election. The following article from 2013 highlights how the GOPe will bring down Cruz as soon as his usefulness is expired.

It’s A Revolution: Donald Trump More Than Doubles the Competition in New Hampshire

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — Billionaire businessman Donald Trump, the runaway winner of the first in the nation GOP presidential primary, picked the right song to celebrate with. When Trump, who was making his closing pitch to Granite State voters at the Verizon Wireless Arena, came on stage to a room with a crowd of more than 4,000 on Monday night—as concessions like pretzels, popcorn, and soda were sold to rally attendees as if it were a professional sports game—he took the stage while speakers blared “Revolution” from The Beatles. When he left the stage, he played it again. And when Trump came on and left the stage while giving his victory speech on Tuesday ...

Donald Trump, who put his gold-medal hopes on hold a week ago, claimed the top prize in the New Hampshire Republican primary on Tuesday as he defeated a gaggle of establishment politicians and the outsider senator who bested him in Iowa. With about 5 per cent of the votes counted in the Granite State, Trump led the field at 33 per cent of the total vote in an election that poll-watchers expected would set a new record for voter participation. The margin of victory, if it holds, will be stunning even in the face of late polls that had the billionaire real estate developer ahead by double digits. John Kasich, the Ohio governor who made a late surge on the strength of a longstanding ...

Ted Cruz's National Security Advisor Has Zero National Security Experience

In fact, she's an art historian. After listening to Ted Cruz talk about his ISIS strategy during the December 15 Republican debate—"making the sand glow" and "carpet bombing" Syria—I asked, somewhat rhetorically, who could possibly be filling his head with such ridiculous notions. But now that Cruz has won Iowa, and he may win more (though probably not New Hampshire), it is worth asking: who is the defense/security advisor with whom he's closest?

Hillary Clinton is running on one issue: Hillary Clinton. Unfortunately, very few Americans like Hillary Clinton. Clockwise from top right: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz "What will be a good result for Hillary in her race against Bernie Sanders?" I asked a Democrat. He replied: "She'll be happy with second place." Today’s New Hampshire primary will be all about the post-match rationalisations. We expect Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump to win – that’s a foregone conclusion. But the political establishment, the pundits and the media can’t even contemplate the thought of a Sanders v Trump race – so they’ll put ...

Jeb Bush is angering GOP senators, who fear it could hurt the party’s chances of capturing the White House.Right to Rise, a pro-Bush super PAC, has spent an estimated $20 million against Rubio. It is expected to launch a new ad this weekend featuring a clip of former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), who endorsed Rubio Tuesday, fumbling to name one of his accomplishments.ADVERTISEMENTOne senator who has endorsed Bush, Sen.

Schlafly unloads on Rubio: 'He betrayed us all'

In 2009, Marco Rubio was a plucky challenger for the open Senate seat in Florida, taking on incumbent Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. Though Rubio was trailing in the polls, one leading conservative activist thought he had real potential and vowed to help him. “When Marco Rubio ran for the Senate in Florida, I think I was the first one to endorse him,” said Phyllis Schlafly. “I made a trip down to Florida in 2009 just for the purpose of helping him.” But Schlafly, a legendary conservative activist, author and WND columnist, now says she is bitterly disappointed by Rubio’s record. “Once he got elected, he betrayed us all,” she told WND. ...

One Red State diarist wonders whether Trump’s four-day journey from gracious concession to sober self-reflection about his ground game to shrieking about fraud and a do-over in Iowa to low-key “it’s in the past” dismissal means that he’s actually insane. Old theory: Trump is erratic. New theory: Trump is bananas. I don’t think he’s bananas. I think this is what it looks like when a candidate decides to test out new lines of attack in real time, with the entirety of the media hanging on his every word, instead of with focus groups behind closed doors. In a striking reversal of rhetoric, Donald Trump would not rule out Ted Cruz as his hypothetical ...
Marco Rubio’s 7 Top Achievements in U.S. Senate

Following Rick Santorum’s inability to name a single achievement of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), the media sought to answer the question for themselves. Yet many reporters appear to have come up empty handed. As The Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza writes, a “major part of the problem is that Rubio doesn’t have all that many accomplishments in the Senate.” “When Rubio is asked to name his single greatest achievement in the Senate, do you hear crickets?” tweeted the National Journal’s Ron Fournier. Though Rick Santorum was unable to name the accomplishments of the man he just endorsed, there are indeed several accomplishments that are quite noteworthy. ...
