SHE THINKS AMERICANS ARE VERY, VERY STUPID: Hillary Continues Shrieking Her ‘No Classified Emails’ Lies

/0 Comments/in , /by

During Monday’s Fox News town hall, Hillary Clinton repeated her outrageous claims that her private email server contained no classified material. Perhaps she could inform the FBI, the State Department, and various Inspectors General, which have designated more than 2,000 emails as classified, including 104 sent by Clinton herself, and 22 with a TOP SECRET designation.

During the town hall, Secretary Clinton faced a series of withering questions about her private email server. Among them was a quote from last year, in which Clinton claimed her private server contained no classified material.

On March 10, 2015, Secretary Clinton held a press conference at the United Nations in which she claimed that her private server contained no classified material.

CLINTON: “I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material.

Clinton reiterated that outrageously false claim again today. But just last week, it was revealed Clinton’s email contained more than 2,000 classified emails, including 104 emails authored and sent by Clinton herself.

How stupid does Clinton think Americans are?

The answer, it would seem, very.

In fact, the American people have known for months that her private server contained classified material. With her willingness to tell baldface lies, it’s no wonder majorities of voters in primary states say they wouldn’t trust Clinton as far as they could throw her.

Advisers for This GOP Candidate Are Reportedly Urging Him to End His Campaign

/0 Comments/in , /by

By B. Christopher Agee. Though the Florida senator has put much of his primary election stock in a strong home-state finish, CNN is reporting that some advisers within the Marco Rubio camp are urging the third-place candidate to drop out of the race prior to the March 15 Florida primary. The reports come just days after Rubio won his second primary, picking up all of Puerto Rico’s 23 delegates.

Quoting an unnamed campaign source, CNN reported that Rubio remains optimistic of his chances in the Sunshine State election even if some on his staff are starting to worry.

“He doesn’t want to get killed in his home state,” said the insider, suggesting a loss in Florida could “hurt his political future.”

Contradicting the network’s claims, however, was Rubio communications director Alex Conant, who appeared on CNN’s The Situation Room to call the story “fiction” and “100 percent false.”

Conant explained to host Wolf Blitzer that he “was sitting in a senior staff meeting planning out next week’s schedule” when he saw CNN’s claim. (Read more from “Advisers for This GOP Candidate Are Reportedly Urging Him to End His Campaign” HERE)

Some Rubio Advisers Say Get out Before Florida

By Jamie Gangel and Tal Kopan. A battle is being waged within Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign about whether he should even remain in the Republican presidential race ahead of his home state primary on March 15, sources say.

Rubio himself is “bullish” on his odds of winning the critical primary, despite some advisers who are less hopeful and believe a loss there would damage him politically in both the short- and long-term.

Publicly, the campaign is maintaining they are still a contender in this race, touting a Sunday win in Puerto Rico’s primary that delivered Rubio 23 delegates. But privately, the campaign is having a debate about whether he should remain in the mix — even for his home state of Florida’s primary.

Are Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz Natural Born Citizens? Judge to Hear Case

/16 Comments/in , /by

A case challenging the eligibility of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to run for president will be heard in Broward County court at 11 a.m. Friday.

The crux of the case: the meaning of the phrase “natural born citizen” and how it applies to the two Republican senators. Rubio was born in Miami in 1971 to Cuban immigrants who became citizens a few years later. Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban-born father and American mother, who moved to Texas when Cruz was four.

“These two candidates are naturalized U.S. citizens, or at the very least, simply fail to comply with the common law Supreme Court established definition of natural born citizen,” wrote Michael Voeltz in his court complaint.

Voeltz, a Broward Republican and inventory manager at a car dealership who is representing himself, wants the candidates’ names withdrawn from the Florida March 15 primary ballot.

The U.S. Constitution states that a presidential candidate must be a “natural born citizen.” Voeltz argues that the definition of “natural born citizens” refers to those born in the U.S. whose parents are U.S. citizens.

Navy SEALs Tell Top House Lawmaker They Don’t Have Enough Combat Rifles

/0 Comments/in , /by

Navy SEAL teams don’t have enough combat rifles to go around, even as these highly trained forces are relied on more than ever to carry out counterterrorism operations and other secretive missions, according to SEALs who have confided in Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif.

After SEALs return from a deployment, their rifles are given to other commandos who are shipping out, said Hunter, a former Marine who served three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. This weapons carousel undercuts the “train like you fight” ethos of the U.S. special operations forces, they said.

Hunter said he’s been contacted by several SEALs, but he declined to provide further information about the weapons they use in order to protect their identities. (Read more from “Navy SEALs Tell Top House Lawmaker They Don’t Have Enough Combat Rifles” HERE)

Supreme Court Blocks Pro-Life Legislation; Only One Justice Says He Disagrees

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Robert Barnes. The Supreme Court on Friday blocked Louisiana from enforcing a law that threatened to close all but one of the state’s abortion clinics.

The court’s action came just two days after it heard oral arguments in a similar case from Texas, and abortion rights supporters treated it as a positive sign. It came just hours after the justices met to discuss the Texas case for the first time in their private conference.

The court gave no reason for its Friday order; only Justice Clarence Thomas noted that he disagreed and would have let the Louisiana law take effect.

The issue is whether clinic doctors who perform abortions must have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic. It was hotly debated during Wednesday’s oral arguments reviewing the Texas law.

Abortion providers say the requirement is medically unnecessary — hospitals accept any patient who developed complications after an abortion, they say, whether the doctor had admitting privileges or not.

Lesbian ex-Girlfriend Backed in US Supreme Court Ruling on Custody

By Newsmax. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned an Alabama court order that had prohibited a lesbian from having contact with the three children she adopted and helped raise in neighboring Georgia while in a long-term relationship with their biological mother.

The 6-2 ruling reinforces gay rights less than a year after the court legalized same-sex marriage across the country. The justices didn’t hear arguments in the case, instead summarily reversing the Alabama Supreme Court.

The woman, identified only as V.L., has been battling the children’s biological mother, known as E.L. in court papers. The two women lived as a couple for 17 years in Alabama before gay marriage was legal in the state. V.L. adopted the children in 2007 after the pair set up a second residence in Georgia. The children were conceived by insemination from an anonymous donor. (Read more from “Lesbian Adoptive Mother Backed in US Supreme Court Ruling” HERE)

Republicans Just Revealed Something About Trump That Will Shake the Establishment to Its Core

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Jack Davis. Republican voters have put the party’s elite establishment on notice that any attempt to tamper with the will of the people will face a buzzsaw of anger.

Across the ever-expanding band of America the New York Times labeled “Trump Country” and beyond, voters reacted with anger to 2012 GOP candidate Mitt Romney’s Thursday speech to derail Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s candidacy. Romney spoke amid multiple reports of behind-the-scenes maneuvers to deny Trump the nomination at this summer’s Republican National Convention.

“I personally am disgusted by it — I think it’s disgraceful,” said Lola Butler, 71, of Mandeville, La., who voted for Romney in 2012. “You’re telling me who to vote for and who not to vote for? Please.”

Butler made it crystal clear how she felt.

“There’s nothing short of Trump shooting my daughter in the street and my grandchildren — there is nothing and nobody that’s going to dissuade me from voting for Trump,” she said . . .

“The furious campaign now underway to stop Mr. Trump and the equally forceful rebellion against it captured the essence of the party’s breakdown over the past several weeks: Its most prominent guardians, misunderstanding their own voters, antagonize them as they try to reason with them, driving them even more energetically to Mr. Trump’s side,” reads the Times article published Saturday and written by Michael Barbaro, Ashley Parker and Jonathan Marton.

Mitt Romney Would Vote for Write-In Candidate Over Donald Trump

By Jordan Fraiser. Former Gov. and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Donald Trump is “anything but presidential” and pledged to cast a write-in vote rather than support the Republican front-runner if he were to become this year’s GOP nominee.

During an interview on “Meet the Press”, Romney said. “I’m going to be voting, but I’ll vote for someone on the ballot that I think is a real conservative and who will make us proud and I may write in a name if I can’t find such a person.”

Romney stopped short of saying he regrets receiving Trump’s endorsement four years ago, but continued to condemn the Republican front-runner’s bombast and vulgarity. (Read more from “Mitt Romney Would Vote for Write-In Candidate Over Donald Trump” HERE)

Supporters of Rubio Claim This Is What’s Ruining His Chances at Becoming President

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sensing an opportunity for an upset victory, Marco Rubio spent most of Friday in Kansas, where he picked up a series of high-profile endorsements that he hoped could help thrust him into contention.

Instead, he finished a disappointing third in the Saturday caucus in Kansas, repeating the same pattern as in some Super Tuesday states earlier last week: a big last-minute push, notable endorsements and a thud of a finish.

Those doing the endorsing, along with many other supporters, bemoaned the results, as well as the campaign that produced them.

I felt I had a dog in the fight, and it hurt me personally when I thought we were going to win,” said Republican Sen. James M. Inhofe of Oklahoma, another state where Rubio came in behind Cruz and Trump. “The thing is, when Rubio was there, the enthusiasm was so great, better than the others. He had a great reception. If everything had been equal in terms of appearances and organization, he would have won Oklahoma.”

Party leaders, donors and other supporters of Rubio portray a political operation that continues to come up short in its message, in its attention to the fundamentals of campaigning and in its use of a promising politician. The failures have all but doomed ­Rubio’s chances of securing the GOP nomination, leaving him far behind Trump and Cruz in both delegates and states won.

Trump Stays in Front as Cruz Raises Pressure With Split Decision

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz got a split decision from Republican voters in four states Saturday that didn’t dramatically change the nomination race but did expose unrest among party conservatives who want an alternative to the celebrity real estate mogul as their presidential nominee.

Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, scored an overwhelming win over Bernie Sanders in Louisiana’s delegate-rich primary that lets her maintain a solid lead for the Democratic nomination even as the Vermont senator won caucuses in Kansas and Nebraska.

Trump defeated Cruz in the Louisiana primary by 41 percent to 38 percent and in the Kentucky caucuses by 36 percent to 32 percent, according to the Associated Press. Cruz prevailed in caucuses in Kansas by 48 percent to 23 percent and in Maine by 46 percent to 33 percent. Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich finished third or fourth in the states, prompting Trump to call for Rubio to drop out of the race.

The results of Saturday’s voting for both parties raises the stakes for Trump’s and Clinton’s challengers to make a stand in the next round of contests on Tuesday and the slate of five state primaries on March 15 . . .

While Trump held on to his front-runner status in the Republican race, Cruz’s wins show that he may be able to rally support from some conservatives who’ve been pushing back against Trump over his rhetoric and changing positions, said Ron Bonjean, a Republican political consultant who’s not aligned with any of the campaigns.

Top Conservative Just Announced Shocking Plan To Take Down Trump… He’s Not Going To Like It

/0 Comments/in , /by

Bill Kristol, founder and editor-in-chief of “The Weekly Standard,” has joined a growing group of politicians and pundits who are trying to persuade Republican voters and delegates not to let Donald Trump win the party’s nomination for president.

After the Super Tuesday results, Kristol tweeted, “Cruz and Rubio have won more delegates than Trump so far. So they just have to combine. Simple. Cruz-Rubio 2016. QED.”

In a recent interview with MSNBC, Kristol disavowed Trump and continued his anti-Trump dialogue. He said he thinks Trump would be “a terrible nominee and a terrible president.” He even went so far as to say that he would rather have Hillary Clinton as president than Trump.

Kristol reiterated his beliefs that Sen. Cruz and Sen. Rubio should join together to defeat Trump.

“The truth is, if Trump doesn’t win Florida and Ohio, it remains very much of an open race,” Kristol said, arguing that a brokered convention would allow Cruz and Rubio to work together to force Trump to lose the nomination.

Some of Kristol’s Twitter followers didn’t take kindly to his suggestion for Cruz and Rubio. One follower attacked him saying, “Get lost creep, you’ve been busying the establishment since Bush. You’re just bad for the American people. You outta touch snob.” (Read more from “Top Conservative Just Announced Shocking Plan to Take Down Trump… He’s Not Going to Like It” HERE)

Ted Cruz won the 22nd annual presidential straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday.

Cruz’s win marks the first time in four years that Kentucky Senator Rand Paul did not win the straw poll.

Paul, along with his father Ron, has long been considered a darling among the CPAC faithful. The two libertarians have collectively won five of the last six straw polls conducted, as well as several other polls at similar conferences.
