Conservative Media, GOP Establishment Push Paul Ryan For Speaker

If the drama surrounding Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s reluctant march to Speaker of the House is political theater, it’s a pretty good performance. The Wisconsin congressman consistently said “no” until Friday, when his answer apparently shifted to “no comment,” and may soon evolve to “maybe.” Despite his repeated insistence that he doesn’t want the job, he’s been touted by everyone from flamed-out Speaker candidate Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to his 2012 running mate, Mitt Romney. Some of the most insistent endorsements for the reluctant candidate have come from the editors of National Review. Their editorial urging Ryan to take the job actually ...
Gingrich: If Speaker, I Would Tell Obama ‘You’re Out of Money’

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argued that while “I don’t know, frankly, that anybody could have done a much better job” than Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), the House shouldn’t let the Senate “become the definer of the fight,” and that if he was speaker he’d tell the president “‘You’re out of money. You want to close the government? Close the government.'” on Friday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel. Gingrich stated that Republicans are right to feel betrayed, continuing, “Well, you know, the most recent survey that Gallup did by 60 to 32, the American people want a smaller federal government. They’re not ...
Harry Reid Lawsuit Against Exercise Band Manufacturer ‘Opens the Doors’ To His Bathroom, Medical and Bank Records

Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of an exercise band that he claims “broke or slipped” while “mounted to a sturdy object in his bathroom” as he used it on January 1, causing injuries that blinded him in one eye. “The lawsuit is really going to open the doors if the company’s defense counsel wants to go after Harry Reid,” an attorney and expert on product liability tells Breitbart News. “Through the discovery process they can get access to his bathroom (where this allegedly happened) medical records, records from his protective detail and much of Reid’s personal information such as bank records,” the expert ...
Ted Cruz: Trump won’t be the nominee and I’ll pick up most of his voters

Via Politico, skip to 12:00 of the clip below for the key bit. Oh, it’s on. Or is it? Normally, a candidate for president claiming that he’s going to peel away his opponents’ supporters and win the nomination would be so banal that it wouldn’t qualify as news. It’s the ultimate “dog bites man” story. Of course Cruz believes this. If he didn’t, why would he be running? But these aren’t normal circumstances. Cruz is the only Republican in the field who has yet to utter a critical or discouraging syllable about Trump, part of his talk-radio-ish strategy not to say or do anything that might annoy the many newly minted Trump fans in the GOP base. But ...
EXCLUSIVE: Donald Trump Pushes Back Against Critics of His Eminent Domain Position

Many conservative pundits and Tea Party activists are criticizing GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s ongoing support of eminent domain, but the real estate billionaire is not backing down. “It would have been easy to say I’m totally against eminent domain but that is not a fair thing to say because without it, states couldn’t function,” GOP Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump tells Breitbart News in an exclusive interview. But Trump offers a somewhat more nuanced understanding of eminent domain to Breitbart News, one that seems to acknowledge that using it for exclusively private gain is the wrong thing to do. “If you were going [to use eminent domain] to rip ...

John McAfee likely rings a bell for most, simply by virtue of his cyber-security noteworthy surname — which makes his September announcement of his bid for president as a member of the Cyber Party quite logical. As Americans’ faith in, well, just about everything surrounding traditional elections wanes to perilously close to an all-time nadir, McAfee’s platform shows surprising glints of common sense worth more than a simple passing glance.McAfee’s reasons for running, as well as his stance on a number of pertinent issues currently asked of major party candidates, were clarified in an interview with S.M. Gibson on a recent edition of Anti-Media Radio.“Quite ...
Ben Carson says he would have charged Oregon community college gunman

Now Playing Carson defends shooting remarks, blames manipulative media Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Tuesday that he would have attacked the gunman who killed nine people at an Oregon community college last week. "I would not just stand there and let him shoot me," Carson told "Fox and Friends". "I would say 'Hey, guys, everybody attack him! He may shoot me but he can't get us all." The retired neurosurgeon added that he probably would not have visited Roseburg, Ore., where the Umpqua Community College shooting took place, if he were president because that would inject politics into a tragedy. Late Monday, Carson took to Facebook to ...
Deadbeat Fiorina’s Shameless Self-Promotion

Carly Fiorina gives one heck of a speech.That was my first impression, a positive one, when I caught up with her in Sacramento in 2010 to chronicle her bid for the Senate.She had focus, urgency and a brimming arsenal of barbs, just as she does now. She liked to mention an incident in which Senator Barbara Boxer, the incumbent Democrat, once upbraided an Army bigwig for calling her “Ma’am” rather than “Senator,” and she told Californians that if they gave her Boxer’s job: “You may call me ‘Ma’am.’ You may call me ‘Senator.’ You may call me ‘Carly.’ You may call me, ‘Hey, you, remember, you work for me.’ ”She ...

The tenth annual Values Voter Summit was held last month in Washington, D.C. About 2,700 religious conservatives registered to attend the event. The Summit was created in 2006 “to provide a forum to help inform and mobilize citizens across America to preserve the bedrock values of traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life and limited government that make our nation strong.” CNN described it as “one of the conservative movement’s marquee annual events” and Sean Hannity called it “the premier conservative event now in the country.” This year’s event featured old guard conservatives like Bill Bennett, Gary Bauer, and Oliver North as well ...
Secret Service agents: Hillary is a nightmare to work with

“‘Good morning, ma’am,” a member of the uniformed Secret Service once greeted Hillary Clinton. “F— off,” she replied. That exchange is one among many that active and retired Secret Service agents shared with Ronald Kessler, author of “First Family Detail,” a compelling look at the intrepid personnel who shield America’s presidents and their families — and those whom they guard. Kessler writes flatteringly and critically about people in both parties. Regarding the Clintons, Kessler presents Chelsea as a model protectee who respected and appreciated her agents. He describes Bill as a difficult chief executive, but an easygoing ...
Ron Paul: Presidential Election Is Entertainment “Orchestrated by Major Media”

By Nick Bernabe Former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul has unloaded a harsh criticism of the 2016 presidential election. Appearing on RT’s Boom and Bust show Thursday, Paul commented on the media’s control of the U.S. electoral process, Donald Trump’s candidacy, and the stock market. Some of his harshest comments came when Ron Paul was addressing the media’s role in the 2016 presidential elections: “I think some of this stuff in the presidential race is orchestrated by the major media — and it’s entertainment,” he said. Former Congressman Ron Paul, who ran for president in 2012, has some first-hand insight into the media’s role ...
Don’t believe the narrative on Rand Paul’s comments about Ted Cruz

People are making way too much hay over the comments Rand Paul made about some of the strategy Ted Cruz uses. Paul told Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio he wasn’t surprised no Republicans supported Cruz’ amendment on Planned Parenthood funding because of his attitude on the Senate floor. “Ted has chosen to make this really personal and chosen to call people dishonest in leadership and call them names which really goes against the decorum and also against the rules of the senate, and as a consequence he can’t get anything done legislatively. He is pretty much done for and stifled and it’s really because of personal relationships, or lack of personal relationships, ...

A New York State Republican assemblyman who opposed medical marijuana legislation at every turn was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of marijuana. The police found the marijuana after they pulled him over for speeding. A statement released shortly after the March 2013 incident, law enforcement officials reported that state police discovered Steve Katz had a “small bag” of marijuana on him. A New York State Trooper said that the 59-year-old assemblyman had been driving 80 miles per hour in 65 mph zone. He noticed the marijuana and took Katz into custody, charging him with possession before he was finally bailed out. Katz had voted against the legalization of ...

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) slammed his Republican colleagues over backing a short-term spending bill, calling Congress a "withering shadow" of what it once was. "Congress is a withering shadow," the Kentucky Republican said. "It's a shadow of what it once was. Congress has no power, exerts no power, and we walk and we live in the shadow of a presidency that is growing larger and larger and larger." Paul's remarks come as the Senate is expected to pass a short-term spending bill that includes money for Planned Parenthood ahead of an end-of-the-month deadline to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. The Kentucky Republican, who is running for ...

Ridiculously Thin Skinned Donald Trump Threatening Critics With Totally Bogus Trademark Infringement Lawsuit

from the so-presidential deptSo just last week, we wrote about the ridiculousness of Presidential candidate Ben Carson threatening a trademark (and copyright and publicity rights) lawsuit against people making Ben Carson (both pro- and anti-) clothing. And, now it appears that Donald Trump is doing the same ridiculous, censorious thing. Fresh off of threatening a completely bogus defamation lawsuit against a critical political organization, Alan Garten, one of Trump's lawyers, fired off a hilariously bogus threat letter to the website StopTrump.us. As you can probably guess, the operators of that site are not fans of Mr. Trump. And, of course, that's both completely allowed and ...

Some people are seeing unauthorized charges from Donald Trump's campaign showing up on their bank statements. The Republican front-runner's campaign spokeswoman confirmed that the campaign recently experienced a problem with a third-party vendor. In an email, Hope Hicks wrote: "This was a technical issue with our third-party payment provider, and it has been fully resolved. Any multiple charges that occurred on customers' credit and/or debit cards have been fully refunded. We are currently communicating this update to any customers that may have been affected." Heather Nason of Saco told WMTW News 8 that her husband was one of the affected customers. She said he ...

Hillary is a “lying pig” with long history of attacks on sexual assault victimsBY ALEX THOMAS (INTELLIHUB) — In perhaps the most tone-deaf campaign video of the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton has released an ad in which she claims to be a defender of woman who have been sexually assaulted. The problem? Hillary has a long, disgusting history of vengefully attacking any woman who claimed they were sexually assaulted by her husband and former president Bill Clinton. This fact makes the campaign ad borderline psychotic and shows just how fake Hillary actually is. The entire world knows what she has done to woman like Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick yet ...
Fiorina Blasts Planned Parenthood – But Financed Website that Touted Planned Parenthood

Fiorina Blasts Planned Parenthood – But Financed Website that Touted Planned Parenthood Tim Brown September 17, 2015 I'm always happy to hear people say what abortion is and those that engage in it are. Carly Fiorina took a strong stand against Planned Parenthood on Wednesday evening, even going so far as to say that the issue of dealing with the hitmen for hire, as I like to refer to them, is a defense of the character of this nation. The problem is, Ms. Fiorina's character seems to be questionable as she invested in a website that openly promoted Planned Parenthood. First, consider her remarks from the debate: Clearly she is taking on two ...

Yes, yes. Everyone has been predicting the End of Trump since before he even announced. But it's over. The high-water mark has been reached and now the long slow retreat begins. His performance on Wednesday was beyond ridiculous. He knows nothing. His grasp of current affairs is beneath a Twitter troll's. Now he's backing out today's Heritage Action forum. He'd have to stand on a stage (or sit at a desk, whatever the set up is) and answer actual policy questions. We saw on Wednesday he simply can't do that. He has two modes...insult and claim he will do great things by hiring great people. Those aren't actual demonstrations of knowledge. "But that ...
Rand Paul Found His Voice: Can He Find Noninterventionist Voters?

Last night Paul found his voice – not just on foreign policy, but on marijuana, federalism, taxes, and the Constitution – and there are millions of Republican voters who share that range of views. Can he capitalize? Rand Paul found his voice last night. He’s a sincere noninterventionist in foreign policy. If he can get that message across, there’s a Republican constituency for it, and even broader support among independents. Coincidentally or not, Paul’s standing in the polls has fallen as he seemed to move away from the noninterventionist positions associated with his father, congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. He called for a declaration of war ...
