Cruz Reaches out to Women Voters, Answers Abortion Questions

Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday reached out to female voters, claiming Donald Trump seems to have “a problem with strong women” as the two prepared for Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary.

The Texas senator appeared to try to capitalize on Trump’s recent campaign missteps that seem to be alienating women voters, a crucial voting bloc to win a general election.

“He seems to have a problem with strong women,” Cruz said on a special Town Hall edition of Fox News Channel’s “Kelly File.”

“It’s going to be up to the men and women in Wisconsin” to decide who wins. “I could not be more encouraged by the enthusiasm.”

Trump in recent weeks retweeted an unflattering picture of Cruz’s wife, Heidi, and suggested “some form of punishment” for women who got an abortion if they were illegal – then issued two statements to clarify his position.

Right on Time: U.S. Navy Seizes HUGE Shipment of Iranian Weapons En Route to Terrorists

As one might expect, the fanatical Islamic regime of Iran is dedicated to advancing Shariah doctrine through violence. The Iranian government has been instrumental in providing material support for terrorist operations around the globe and as President Obama crusaded tirelessly to offer them economic relief to bolster their economy, the zealots in Tehran simultaneously pledged to continue to mount militant efforts against the West and Israel.

The Iranians might be fanatics but it seems that they are not liars. The U.S. Navy, in late March, seized a shipment of Iranian weapons that were en route to Yemen to likely aid in terrorist efforts.

On March 28th, the Navy encountered an Iranian ship carrying a massive shipment of weapons including AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. The Pentagon revealed the discovery on Monday.

The shipment was the third such shipment discovered in recent weeks and the Pentagon believes the weapons were heading to Yemen to aid Houthi rebels in a war against a Saudi-led coalition that is backed by the United States. Then Houthi rebels, like Iran, are Shia.

For years, Obama worked behind the scenes to try and secure a deal with Iran that gave the despotic state sponsor of terrorism a hefty payday in exchange for meaningless promises. The U.S. was instrumental in lifting economic sanctions that had long hindered the regime, a move that infused Iran with roughly $150 billion. The U.S. also sweetened the pot with an additional $1.7 billion in taxpayer dollars for reparations when the U.S. did not follow-through on an agreement after Islamic revolutionaries took-over the government in the 1970s. State officials have claimed that they intend to pay more to Iran over the coming years.

‘Suspicious’ Activity at North Korea Nuclear Complex

Recent satellite images of North Korea’s main nuclear complex show suspicious activity that could be linked to re-processing plutonium for additional nuclear bombs, a US think tank said on Tuesday.

Analysis of the images focused on exhaust plumes from a steam plant used to heat a radiochemical laboratory facility at the Yongbyon complex.

The facility is used for processing plutonium from a five-megawatt reactor at Yongbyon into weapons-grade fissile material.

Whether the exhaust plumes mean “re-processing additional plutonium is under way or will be in the near future remains unclear”, analysts at the US-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins University concluded.

However, they noted a recent statement by US National Intelligence Director James Clapper that North Korea could be ready to extract weapons-grade plutonium from the nearby reactor’s spent fuel rods in a matter of weeks. (Read more from “‘Suspicious’ Activity at North Korea Nuclear Complex” HERE)

People Instantly Notice Something About This Photo of Bill Clinton at Hillary Campaign Event

By Jack Davis. The man who was once the leader of the free world and who commanded the awesome power that comes with the office of President of the United States is now not able to attract enough attention to fill a room.

This was the reality shown by photos from a Clinton rally held Friday at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wis., with former President Bill Clinton as the main speaker.

After one organizer tweeted a picture showing the small crowd, other tweets followed focusing on the people who did attend and suggesting the rally was a success.

“… that just doesn’t appear to be the case,” wrote Andrew Mark Miller on Young Conservatives. “And even if it was, say the room was packed to the brim, it wasn’t a very big room to begin with. This guy was the president and he can’t even fill that room? I’ve seen Kasich fill rooms three times that big on the trail and Trump could fill that in an hour” . . .

“Team Hillary should be extremely worried,” wrote Zira on Democratic Underground. “It’s not just that she has suffered landslide losses in the past five caucus states. It’s that she’s overwhelmingly lost the youth vote of all colors, everywhere, and she’ll never get it back.” (Read more from “People Instantly Notice Something About This Photo of Bill Clinton at Hillary Campaign Event” HERE)

Bill Clinton Struggles to Fill Small Room on Campaign Trail

By Andrew Mark Miller. Hillary Clinton is giving it her best shot but no matter how hard she tries she just can’t manage to create any excitement around her campaign.

How many people have you come across that tell you they are excited to vote for Hillary in November?

I’m going to guess not very many. And by that I mean zero.

Part of the reason is that her and her esteemed husband have been on the scene for decades so it’s difficult to create the outsider illusion.

Bill has been on the campaign trail trying to help but he seems to be creating more controversy than he is support. (Read more from “Bill Clinton Struggles to Fill Small Room on Campaign Trail” HERE)

Hillary and Bernie Vilify Sheriff Joe Arpaio for His Hard-Fought Battle Against Illegal Immigration

The Democrats don’t like Arizona’s popular Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his strong enforcement of the laws against illegal immigration. He’s one of their poster children for Republican white men who don’t care about people, especially immigrants. Even better, he’s what The New York Times called an “immigration proxy” for Donald Trump: an attack on Arpaio is also an attack on Trump, and they don’t even have to say Trump’s name.

Hillary Clinton said at a rally with numerous Latino supporters that Arpaio had treated his “fellow human beings with disrespect and contempt,” referring to his tough stance on illegal immigration. She went on, “It just makes my heart sink. We are better than that.”

At a rally in Flagstaff, Sanders warned, “It is easy for bullies like Sheriff Arpaio to pick on people who have no power. If I’m elected president, the president of the United States does have power. Watch out, Joe.”

Sanders’ wife went to tour Arpaio’s outside jail in the desert last month, known as “Tent City,” where she got into it with him. She asked him about the charges of racial profiling he’s facing now in federal court for arresting illegal immigrants, and complained about how hot it was in the tents. He ignored her question, and said that the conditions are similar to those endured by members of the U.S. military “fighting for our country” overseas, who are also living in tents in desert regions.

Not surprisingly, Arpaio supports Donald Trump for president (even though, as I’ve written previously, Ted Cruz has a stronger record on border security). “None of the candidates were talking about immigration as an issue until he brought it up,” Arpaio said at a rally for Trump in his home town of Fountain Hills last month. “He has opened the door to get people talking. Maybe something will get done about it.” He agrees with Trump that Mexico will pay for a wall on the border with the US.

The two became friends when they worked together in 2012 to retrieve President Obama’s birth certificate to determine whether he really was a natural born citizen and eligible to be president. “I’m not trying to say he copies me,” Arpaio said about the relationship recently. “It just so happens we see eye to eye. He’s somewhat like me. Or I’m like him. I don’t know which way it goes.”

Who’s the Bully?

Sanders called Arpaio a bully. Arpaio’s supporters would ask who’s the bully when people force their way over a border and overload limited federal safety net resources in a country drowning in public debt, and who commit crimes at a far higher percentage than the population at large? It is true that most illegal immigrants aren’t dangerous and are just looking for a better life, but it is also true that there is no more money left to provide additional benefits to millions of unskilled immigrants, and many dangerous illegal immigrants aren’t being prosecuted or deported.

Conservative observers in Arizona believe the legal proceedings against Arpaio for racially profiling are really an attempt to stop him from arresting, prosecuting and deporting illegal immigrants. The fact that he is 83 years old and continues getting elected is evidence the people of Arizona — and the people around the country they represent — support his efforts to secure the border.

Clinton may describe them the way she does, but these people have common-sense concerns about the number of people sneaking into this country and the problems that come from illegal immigration. When the Democratic candidates use Sheriff Joe Arpaio as a punching bag, they’re punching a lot of voters at the same time.

Former Radical Black Panther Gets Candid on Obama, Race Relations

Clarence Mason Weaver was once so filled with hatred towards white people in America that he broke up with a girlfriend who had a white dog, the now-conservative told The Daily Caller New Foundation in this exclusive video interview.

A formerly hate-filled Berkeley Black Panther liberal, Weaver is a black conservative who now holds strong views on Black Lives Matter, the first black president and how America can heal its racial divide.

From humble beginnings, Weaver served his country in Vietnam working as a pipefitter in the Navy. It was an incident on August 11, 1971 that changed his life forever: A white racist tried to kill him just because of his skin color.

Retelling a riveting transformational story, Weaver explains how even in the midst of running with radical U.S. haters, he realized “he loved America” and only wanted a chance to compete fairly in the country.

Today, when asked what he thinks of the emergence of Black Lives Matter, he passionately says, “It really means black lies matter.” He explains that this group believes in white superiority since they demand white society give them concessions out of guilt. Mason says, “What happened to you white folks? Where are the Vikings? You guys are cowards!”

As to his views on the first black president, Weaver continues his bold, unique tirade with “Barack Obama hates America.”

“His job is to divide by differences and manage our differences,” he says. “He has done nothing but drive us apart. [He] hates America.” Weaver then adds, “It doesn’t matter what color the pimp, the drug dealer, the con artist is.”

In this 31-minute video interview, Weaver explains that God helped him realize that “anger was much heavier than a ton and a half of steel,” which altered his physical and emotional life in 1971.

“What would happen in black America if we forgave, real or imagined, the wrongs that we have?” he asks. “As a Swahili-speaking, black history-studying, militant, Black Panther-hanging out man. As a black man, wearing my dashiki and my black beret,” he notes. “What would happen is healing, progress and success with family reunification.”

Since he left liberalism and became so vocal, Weaver has been called all the epithets that black conservatives incur. Weaver explains why black conservatives are so maligned and hated by those he says are “running today’s plantations” with destructive liberal policies. Liberalism, he says, “destroys people, like a drug dealer, a pimp who manages you and wants to keep you down. Liberalism is slavery, always has been and always will be.”

As for how to change other people’s minds, he warns, “some have a vested interest in staying stupid.” Those who won’t hear or listen “have the right to be stupid.” (For more from the author of “Former Radical Black Panther Gets Candid on Obama, Race Relations” please click HERE)

What Miranda Lambert Wore to the Country Music Awards Will Outrage Leftists‏

The war to preserve the Second Amendment is not merely one fought in Congress. It is not merely fought in courtrooms. The real battle for the preservation of our right that protects all others is a cultural one.

Everywhere today, kids are told that guns are bad and that only bad people have them. A teen wears an NRA shirt to school and he is sent home. A child brings his favorite squirt gun to school and he’s treated as a mini domestic terrorist.

The left continually attempts to introduce doctors into the conversation about gun ownership. Liberals contend that gun ownership is both a mental health issue and a national health crisis.

We are fighting a very cultural war that will determine how future generations view gun ownership. Because of this war, the left is likely to be none-too-pleased with country music star Miranda Lambert’s choice of attire at the Country Music Awards on Sunday.

The country star won Female Vocalist of the Year at the awards for the sixth consecutive year. She came to the awards show with a tasteful dress, but with a small gun and holster attached to her pink stilettos.

21-Year-Old Student Hangs Herself After Terrible Grief Following Her Abortion

Three weeks after her abortion, 21-year-old Jade Rees played a popular song about an unborn baby on her phone, then took a rope and hung herself at her home in England.

The Sun reports Rees had an abortion after her unborn child’s father dumped her for another woman. Before she committed suicide on Nov. 3, 2015, she left a handwritten note for her parents, saying that she was struggling because of her abortion. She wrote a second note to her 2-year-old son. “He means everything to me,” she wrote.

An inquest into her death is on-going. Rees reportedly had been struggling with eating disorders and depression for years. According to the court hearing, Rees felt “upset and distressed” after aborting her unborn child.

She attempted suicide once before but was unsuccessful, and her parents took her to a psychiatrist for help, according to the court . . .

Her unborn child likely was at the forefront of her mind when she took her life. Before she committed suicide, Rees had listened to the song “Little Bump” on her phone, according to authorities. The popular Ed Sheeran song is an emotional tribute to a friend’s baby who was miscarried. (Read more from “21-Year-Old Student Hangs Herself After Terrible Grief Following Her Abortion” HERE)

Trump Just Exposed 1 Big Thing Ted Cruz Did, and Will ‘Do Again’ as President — Many Won’t Like It

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Friday that because Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is “controlled by the people that give him money,” he will support the controversial Obamatrade legislation after the election and implement Obama’s trade agenda if elected president.

“Now, he’s going to vote for it again,” said Trump, targeting Cruz, who has received the support of a wide range of GOP establishment supporters seeking to block Trump’s path to the GOP presidential nomination. “He’s going to vote for it again. He’s just waiting for after the election. He will vote for it –because the people who give him campaign contributions want it. He will vote for it right after the election.”

Cruz aligned himself with House Speaker Paul Ryan in 2015 in supporting the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA), which is a change in the procedures Congress uses to ratify trade deals.

TPA lowers the vote threshold for passage of a trade deal out of the Senate to a simple majority. It also eliminates the ability for Congress to amend any such trade deals. Approving TPA would allow other parts of the Obamatrade agenda to move through Congress.

“Ted Cruz is so far behind me in trade that he put a phony ad talking about how he’s going to get tough on trade,” Trump said Friday in an interview with Breitbart News. “Number one, he’s in favor of the Trans Pacific Partnership — which is going to be worse than NAFTA. And it’s going to absolutely destroy businesses in our country and businesses in Wisconsin.” (Read more from “Trump Just Exposed 1 Big Thing Ted Cruz Did, and Will ‘Do Again’ as President — Many Won’t Like It” HERE)

John Kasich: What’s the Case for Staying in Republican Race?

Or, to put it differently, in a presidential race that many increasingly see as a choice between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz—and in which many establishment Republicans see the Texas senator as the only viable choice to stop the Trump movement—why is Ohio Gov. John Kasich hanging around?

In fact, many Republicans are quietly hoping Kasich will drop out, fearing he will dilute the anti-Trump vote, starting Tuesday in Wisconsin, and enable the real-estate developer to win despite the kinds of difficulties he has encountered on questions such as abortion and nuclear arms.

Kasich and his supporters insist they see a path to the nomination. It’s circuitous and some would say implausible, but here it is in a nutshell:

It starts with an assumption that Trump won’t win the 1,237 delegates needed for a majority on the first ballot in Cleveland. That’s not implausible. He needs to win roughly two-thirds of the delegates bound to a specific candidate who remain to be chosen to get to that total, and that will be tougher if he loses in Wisconsin, where he trails Cruz in polls.

That would produce a convention that’s thrown wide open after the first ballot, because most delegates would be free to move to a candidate of their choosing. Some Trump delegates would move to Cruz, because they come from states where the party is choosing delegates that are, in fact, Cruz supporters, but not enough to give him the hundreds of additional delegates he would need. Dyed-in-the-wool Trump delegates who have bought into their candidate’s disdain of Cruz wouldn’t move into the Cruz camp. Cruz delegates angry at Trump for mocking and belittling their candidate and his wife wouldn’t move into the Trump camp.
