Schwarzenegger Endorses Candidate for President

/0 Comments/in , /by

At a time when Ohio Gov. John Kasich is lagging far behind in the GOP primaries, he received a powerful boost from actor and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As Kasich rallied voters in his home state, Schwarzenegger endorsed Kasich during a campaign rally in Columbus on Sunday, telling supporters Kasich “kicked some serious butt” during his time in Congress . . .

Schwarzenegger has business interests in Ohio, notably the three-day “Arnold’s Sports Festival,” which he started in 1989 and is held annually in Columbus. He also invested in a shopping mall. Schwarzenegger said he was first introduced to the Ohio governor when Kasich was first running for Congress in the 1980s.

“This is the land of opportunity; it is the greatest nation in the world, no matter what anyone says out there,” Schwarzenegger said. “And we need John Kasich to now take charge and be at the White House.”

Schwarzenegger’s endorsement comes just in advance of Ohio’s winner-take-all primary held on March 15. The vote is critical to Kasich as well as to efforts by Republican leaders to derail the candidacy of Donald J. Trump. (Read more from “Schwarzenegger Endorses Candidate for President” HERE)

NY Times, Wash Post Criticized for Nancy Reagan Obituaries

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Greg Richter. The New York Times and Washington Post both went for the negative early in their reporting Sunday on the death of former first lady Nancy Reagan, and conservative commentators made note of it.

Washington Times chief political correspondent Byron York was first to tweet about The New York Times’ obituary . . .

Meanwhile, Mediaite’s Joe Concha noticed that Lois Romano, the writer of The Washington Post’s obituary, was clearly no friend to the former first lady or to Republicans in general.

Romano appears from her Twitter account to loathe “the Republican party and also appears to have affinity for one female Democratic presidential candidate in particular going back years to her time at Politico,” Concha writes. “Just how she got the official nod to reflect on the life of Nancy Reagan by the powers that be at The Washington Post is an utter mystery.” (Read more from “NY Times, Wash Post Criticized for Nancy Reagan Obituaries” HERE)

Michael Reagan: She’s With Her Ronnie Now

By News Max. After former first lady Nancy Reagan died Sunday, it didn’t take long for tributes from the political world to start pouring in.

Reagan died in her Los Angeles home of congestive heart failure. Political figures from her stepson, Michael, to Mitt Romney and Donald Trump quickly took to social media to remember the late actress-turned-first lady, calling on her take on the prevention of drug abuse and her love for husband Ronald Reagan.

“Nancy is where she has always wanted to be with her Ronnie,” Michael Reagan, a Newsmax TV analyst, wrote on Twitter.

“Now she is at peace,” added Reagan, who also is president of the Reagan Legacy Foundation. (Read more from “Michael Reagan: She’s With Her Ronnie Now” HERE)

Black Lives Matter Organizer Posts Guide to Riotwear… in Arabic

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Black Lives Matter activist who was part of the Ferguson riots posted a visual guide to urban riot wear in both English and Arabic on Twitter.

The tweet is significant because it was posted by Ashley Yates, who uses the handle @BrownBlaze on Twitter. Yates is a prominent protest organizer in the Black Lives Matter movement who is an advocate for violence. The Guardian quoted her in 2014 during her involvement with the Ferguson protest:

“If they can’t serve justice in this, the people have every right to go out and express their rage in a manner that is equal to what we have suffered,” said Ashley Yates, a co-founder of Millennial Activists United, who was arrested last week while protesting in Ferguson.

Yates learned organizing when she was the political chair of the Legion of Black Collegians at the University of Missouri Columbia; the group who was behind last year’s campus uprising there. Yates was not with the group at the time of that protest, however . . .

The tweet from @BrownBlaze came shortly after she’d retweeted an article from Jason Leopold discussing Cleveland’s plans to buy riot gear in anticipation of the Republican National Convention.

ISIS Posts Info of 55 New Jersey Police Officers

/0 Comments/in , /by

ISIS hackers have threatened 55 New Jersey police officers by releasing their names, addresses, telephone numbers and working locations online.

The Caliphate Cyber Army (CCA), an ISIS-affiliated group of hackers that largely focuses on defacing websites and spreading propaganda, released an Excel spreadsheet containing the details of 55 New Jersey Transit Authority police Wednesday.

The Daily Mail understands that the information — which lists the details of employees from a probationary police officer up to a number of captains — was obtained by hackers on February 26 from a uniform laundering list.

Many of the addresses associated with the officers are station houses and headquarters, but when put into Google Street View, many others show residential homes. Telephone numbers include officers’ cellphones . . .

The file was uploaded to an Arabic-language file sharing site on Wednesday. By Saturday morning it had been downloaded 300 times. (Read more from “ISIS Posts Info of 55 New Jersey Police Officers” HERE)

Wow: Look Who Was Just Officially ‘Drafted’ for President – It’s NOT Who You’re Thinking

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Gerry Urbanek. The suspension of the Jeb Bush campaign last month, along with the poor performance of Sen. Marco Rubio on Super Tuesday, has caused panic amongst those who fear a Donald Trump nomination . . .

The newly created super-PAC, the “Committee to Draft Speaker Ryan,” officially filed its paperwork Thursday with the Federal Election Commission. The only information associated with the PAC is that David Satterfield is the organization’s founder, though more information is expected to be released soon.

As the name implies, the super-PAC will seek to draft current Speaker of the House Paul Ryan to run against Trump for the Republican nomination. Speaker Ryan, however, says he has no intention of doing this and has repeatedly declined requests to announce a candidacy.

In response to the creation of this new super-PAC, Ashlee Strong, a spokeswoman for the Speaker, said: “He is flattered, but not interested.”

Satterfield was previously the treasurer for the late Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter, who served as both a Democrat and a Republican during his time in office. Satterfield has also operated a super-PAC with ties to Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, in an effort to oppose President Obama.

Republicans in Tailspin, Group Forms to Draft Ryan for US President

By Doina Chiacu and Megan Cassella. With U.S. Republicans sharply split over a front-runner they cannot unite behind, a new group is trying to push the country’s top elected Republican, Paul Ryan, into the White House race.

The Committee to Draft Speaker Ryan filed papers as a Super PAC with the Federal Election Commission on Thursday, adding to the groups of mainstream Republican leaders and donors with a shared goal: stopping Trump.

Ryan, the House of Representatives speaker who spoke out against Trump for not quickly rejecting white supremacist support, did not appear ready to take on the role.

“He is flattered, but not interested,” Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said in an email on Friday. (Read more from “Republicans in Tailspin, Group Forms to Draft Ryan for US President” HERE)

Listen: Leaked Audio Reveals Sinister Plan to Take Nomination From Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

New audio has emerged revealing Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign manager pushing a “brokered convention” in order to take away any chance Donald Trump will be named the GOP nominee for president.

With the Trump train appearing to roll full-speed ahead, many Republicans — some in the establishment, others outside of it — are looking for a way to derail him. The specter of the “brokered convention” is on the lips of anti-Trumpers everywhere — especially those on Team Rubio.

Rubio has been running far back in third place for much of this primary season, but with their eyes still fixed on the nomination prize, some Rubio insiders are looking for a way to win — even if they’ve lost right up to the GOP convention in Cleveland in July.

Appearing before a room of big-dollar donors in New York City, Rubio campaign manager Terry Sullivan is heard regaling them on how Rubio can ultimately be the nominee through a brokered convention instead of at primary ballot boxes.

In the audio, released by Breitbart News, Sullivan is heard giving a full PowerPoint presentation on how to run the table at a brokered convention.

“That is – I know if you watch the cable shows, they’re pretty breathless right about now that this is it, nothing is stopping Donald Trump,” Sullivan is heard telling the donors. “He can’t be stopped. He has got more momentum, this is it. It is over.” (Read more from “Listen: Leaked Audio Reveals Sinister Plan to Take Nomination From Trump” HERE)

Senator Ernst Just Revealed Something Terrifying About ISIS’ Presence in US – Everyone Needs to Know This

/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking in front of a room filled with conservative grassroots activists, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, took on President Barack Obama’s foreign policy strategy, arguing that the country needs to elect a new leader who is willing to confront the “real and dangerous threats” facing the nation.

“We’ve all got to come together and find conservative leadership that will confront the very real and dangerous threats America faces in this world,” Ernst said at the Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, outside Washington, D.C. “The reality is, the world is in turmoil, and President Obama does not want to face that fact.”

Criticizing Obama for once referring to the Islamic State—also known as ISIS—as a “JV” team, Ernst, who served in the military for more than 23 years, stressed the urgency for new leadership.

“The San Bernardino attacks proved this is not just some JV force in the Middle East,” she said. “ISIS is present in all 50 states, according to the FBI. Think about that for a moment.”

Ernst sits on the Senate Armed Services Committee, which oversees the nation’s military. She is also a member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

The lack of leadership in confronting ISIS, Ernst said, is not just hurting the homeland. The administration’s “inability to stand tall and destroy ISIS” is bleeding into other sectors of the country’s foreign policy, she argued.

“Russia is taking advantage of our lack of leadership in Eastern Europe and the Middle East right now,” Ernst said, adding:

Over the past seven years, the Obama-Clinton foreign policy strategy has been to give ground to Vladimir Putin from Ukraine to Syria, [and] to retreat from making tough choices in the defense of American interest in our national security.

Rallying young conservatives in the room, Ernst said the time is now to elect new leadership.

“We need to make this happen,” she said. “We need a conservative who will help our allies and protect our national security.”

Running through Saturday, CPAC offers conservatives across the country an opportunity to gather with fellow activists and leaders for speeches, panels, exhibits, and other activities at Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center at Maryland’s National Harbor.

Bigger Mystery? Prosecutor Says iPhone Could Identify Third San Bernardino Shooter

/0 Comments/in , /by

Information contained in an encrypted iPhone could help finally answer whether there was a third assailant in the San Bernardino terror attack that killed 14 people, according to court papers filed by the county’s district attorney.

San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said Friday that the question of a third attacker has nagged investigators despite no supporting evidence.

“We’ve never been able to completely eliminate it,” he said. “We know we have some witnesses that said they thought they saw three … some saw two, some saw one. The majority said two, and the evidence we have up to this point only supports two.” (Read more from “Bigger Mystery? Prosecutor Says iPhone Could Identify Third San Bernardino Shooter” HERE)

Jim Rogers: There’s a 100% Probability of a US Recession Within a Year

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rogers Holdings Chairman Jim Rogers is certain that the U.S. economy will be in recession in the next 12 months.

During an interview on Bloomberg TV with Guy Johnson, the famous investor said that there was a 100 percent probability that the U.S. economy would be in a downturn within one year.

“It’s been seven years, eight years since we had the last recession in the U.S., and normally, historically we have them every four to seven years for whatever reason—at least we always have,” he said. “It doesn’t have to happen in four to seven years, but look at the debt, the debt is staggering.”

Most Wall Street economists see a much smaller chance of a U.S. recession within this span, with odds typically below 33 percent.

Rogers was not specific on what could trigger a disorderly deleveraging process and recession but claimed that sluggish or slowing economies in China, Japan, and the euro zone mean that there are many possible channels of contagion.
