Ted Cruz Just Got an Unfortunate Message From an NRA Instructor [+video]

Jan Morgan, “nationally recognized 2nd Amendment speaker,” journalist, and certified NRA instructor has officially withdrawn her endorsement for GOP candidate Ted Cruz today, making the announcement via Twitter:

The Tweet contains a link to a piece Morgan appears to have written explaining calling Cruz an “opportunist” who used the chaos in Chicago last night to smear Donald Trump- by blaming Trump for it:

“This is quite stunning even for a politician as low as Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz has a prime opportunity to highlight the intolerance of the left. Instead he chooses to attack Donald Trump.”

REVEALED: Trump Just Promised Former GOP Candidate Prominent Role in His Administration [+video]

By Gerry Urbanek. In an interview Monday on The Steve Malzberg Show, former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson announced that he would be serving in an “advisory capacity” in a Trump administration.

“Now, I do believe, certainly in my discussions with Donald Trump, he does love America and he does want to be successful,” Carson said. “And he will surround himself with very good people.”

As it turns out, the retired neurosurgeon revealed, he would be one of those “very good people” working alongside the billionaire front-runner should Trump win the general election.

He confirmed that he would be “doing things” within a Trump administration, elaborating only that he would be serving “in an advisory capacity.”

“That has been determined?” Malzberg asked. “When you sat down with him, that was discussed?”

Carson confirmed that he discussed the issue broadly with Trump, though he shied away from revealing any specifics. (Read more from “REVEALED: Trump Just Promised Former GOP Candidate Prominent Role in His Administration” HERE)

Carson Actively Lobbying Trump to be His Vice-Presidential Pick

Former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson stunned many when he endorsed Donald Trump for president. Just a few days later, Carson admitted he would not only be advising Trump during the presidential campaign, but could also play a possible role in a Trump administration.

Many speculated this would mean a cabinet position for the retired neurosurgeon, who has displayed a wealth of knowledge both in medicine and education. Yet it seems these speculations might have underestimated Carson.

Today it was announced that members of Carson’s campaign team are planning to meet in Palm Beach, Fla., to discuss the possibility of a Trump/Carson ticket.

The meeting, which will take place March 29, will include Ben Carson Jr., former Carson campaign chairman Robert Dees, ex-campaign manager Ed Brookover, treasurer Logan Delaney, and former senior adviser Mike Murray.

Brookover has recently joined the Trump campaign to lead a “delegate selection team,” suggesting the two sides have a strong working relationship.

According the multiple sources, the group will discuss a vice-presidential push as well as what to do with the 700,000-member mailing list Carson’s campaign compiled. (Read more from this story HERE)

Ted Cruz Pledges to Support Donald Trump Unless He Actually Shoots Someone

By Veronica Stracqualursi and Paola Chaves. Sen. Ted Cruz has vowed to support GOP front-runner Donald Trump if he secures the Republican nomination — but he has one condition.

“I can give you one example where I would no longer support Donald Trump. If for example, he were to go out on Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, I would not be willing to support Donald Trump,” Cruz said today at a press conference in Rockford, Illinois.

Cruz’s reference is to when, back in January, Trump joked at a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, that his supporters would stand behind him even if he shot someone . . .

When pressed further by reporters, Cruz argued that he is a man who keeps his word.

“I know it is a shocking concept to members of the media. A shocking concept that an elected official actually does what he said. At the outset of this campaign, I committed I will support the Republican nominee. I honor my word,” Cruz said.

“We see this in our current presidential campaign,” Obama said. “After all, where else could a boy born in Calgary grow up to run for president of the United States?”

Watch: Clinton Explains Why She Said One Thing to Chelsea, Something Else to Benghazi Families

Democrat Hillary Clinton says on the night of the Benghazi attacks on Sept. 11-12, 2012, she was dealing with “information that was changing, literally by the hour,” and she said her email to her daughter Chelsea on that night proves her point.

“At the time I e-mailed with my daughter, a terrorist group had taken credit for the attacks on our facility in Benghazi. Within 16, 18 hours, they rescinded taking credit. They did it all on social media. And the video did play a role,” Clinton insisted.

“We have captured one of the lead terrorists, and he admits it was both a terrorist attack and it was influenced by the video. This was fog of war. This was complicated. The most effective, comprehensive reports and studies demonstrate that.”

At Wednesday night’s Univision-hosted debate, moderator Jorge Ramos told Clinton, “I want to continue with the issue of trust. ”

He mentioned the email that Hillary sent to Chelsea on the night of the attacks, in which she blamed al Qaida for murdering Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But some of the men’s families say Clinton later told them that the violence was sparked by a protest over a video that Muslims considered insulting.

AG Lynch: DOJ Has Conferred With the FBI About Pursuing Climate Deniers [+video]

Attorney General Loretta Lynch acknowledged Wednesday that there have been discussions within the Department of Justice about possibly pursuing civil action against so-called climate change deniers.

“This matter has been discussed. We have received information about it and have referred it to the FBI to consider whether or not it meets the criteria for which we could take action on,” Lynch said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department operations.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) raised the issue, drawing a comparison between possible civil action against climate change deniers and civil action that the Clinton administration pursued against the tobacco industry for claiming that the science behind the dangers of tobacco was unsettled.

“The similarities between the mischief of the tobacco industry pretending that the science of tobacco’s dangers was unsettled and the fossil fuel industry pretending that the science of carbon emissions’ dangers is unsettled has been remarked on widely, particularly by those who study the climate denial apparatus that the fossil fuel industry has erected,” Whitehouse said.

“Under President Clinton, the Department of Justice brought and won a civil RICO action against the tobacco industry for its fraud. Under President Obama, the Department of Justice has done nothing so far about the climate denial scheme,” Whitehouse added.

Explosive New Video From INSIDE LaVoy Finicum’s Truck Proves Cover-Up

(Editor’s note: the new video is below) So now we know that LaVoy Finicum was shot in the back multiple times and that the Feds lied repeatedly about not shooting at him. This explosive new video proves extreme law enforcement misconduct and suggests that Finicum was murdered in cold blood. What has our country come to?!

There are many troubling aspects about the Finicum killing. Not only did federal agents unsuccessfully try to cover up the fact that they had fired at but apparently missed Finicum, they also attempted to cover up the fact that they had shot at his truck. At yesterday’s press conference, an Oregon county sheriff showed a diagram with a bullet hole through the top of Finicum’s truck and blamed the FBI for that errant shooting:

Moreover, the coroner reported that Finicum was shot through the heart with one of the three bullets that struck him in his back, but none of the bullet holes align with Finicum’s heart. Unless, that is, the fatal shot came from a much higher altitude from, perhaps, that same federal sniper who shot a hole through the roof of Finicum’s truck.

Here’s a diagram of LaVoy Finicum’s back with the locations of the bullets’ entrance wounds, according to the Oregon coroner:

Again, the only apparent way to reconcile the diagram of the holes in Finicum’s back with the coroner’s finding that he died from a shot through the heart is to conclude that one of the entrance wounds was shot from a high angle, downward toward Finicum’s heart. And that would mean the shot likely came from one of the prepositioned federal agents who also shot through the top of Finicum’s truck.

The new video from inside the truck is also very troubling. It’s very clear that the occupants of the vehicle – including Finicum – had no violent intent. They were terrified over the fact that they posed no threat and yet were being shot at.

A supporter* commented on this video saying, “So I watched the press conference that law enforcement held where they deemed themselves justified in the homicide (medical examiner’s term, not mine) of LaVoy Finicum. There are FBI agents under investigation for lying about their part in this, but as far as I’m concerned the Oregon State Police and the FBI were in collusion together in this and are all responsible for this ambush and murder. In fact, one of the investigators who spoke stated ‘ANY PERSON IS JUSTIFIED IN USING DEADLY PHYSICAL FORCE WHEN THEY REASONABLY BELIEVE THAT ANOTHER PERSON IS USING OR ABOUT TO USE UNLAWFUL DEADLY PHYSICAL FORCE.’ In my opinion, LaVoy Finicum was in fear for his life – and justifiably so since the truck had already been fired upon without provocation immediately after the truck was stopped during the initial traffic stop. The FBI lead investigator stated ‘He (LaVoy) chose to provoke a confrontation with law enforcement.’ I wholeheartedly disagree. He was trying to get to law enforcement that was not corrupt.

“When you go to work for a law enforcement agency you take an oath to the Constitution. Law enforcement officers, everywhere, need to take a good, hard look at what they are being TOLD to do…and then AGREEING to do. Every time I see these agencies covering for their fellow officers I am increasingly thankful that my husband had the courage to resign his post after seeing unethical actions and unconstitutional behavior. There is no paycheck worth trampling on the rights of others and colluding with a tyrannical government who is supposed to have limited power.”

‘Most Conservative Governor in America’ Claims Cruz Is Ineligible, Not Natural Born [+video]

(Editor’s note: listen to the interview at the bottom of this article) Maine Gov. Paul LePage questioned the eligibility of Sen. Ted Cruz to be president, citing it as a key reason he decided to throw his support behind Donald Trump.

LePage told radio host Howie Carr that his two daughters were born in Canada, and they had to be naturalized as U.S. citizens even though he was born in America. . .

Cruz was also born in Canada, but he maintains that he fits the constitutional requirement that a president be a “natural born citizen” because his mother was born in America.

LePage said he didn’t think Cruz could be president because he believed his daughters were also ineligible.

“They can’t. I know they can’t. I’ve already looked into it,” he said.

‘Whoa’: Glenn Beck Pulls out Unexpected Prop During Interview, Stuns Anchor With Trump Comparison [+video]

Glenn Beck on Sunday compared Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump to the Adolf Hiter of 1929, the charismatic politician who rose to power before the Holocaust on “anger” and “nationalism.”

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday to discuss the #NeverTrump movement, Beck said the “GOP has one last chance to listen to the people.”

Beck told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that conservatives are “very very angry because the GOP did not listen the first time around” to “the Ron Paul people” and the “Tea Party people,” who he said were “way ahead of the curve.”

“The people are speaking clearly, and there are two ways to go: anger and nationalism, which has been done before in history,” Beck said, holding up a ballot for Hitler’s election, written in German.

“Whoa — Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler?” Stephanopoulos interjected. (Read more from “‘Whoa’: Glenn Beck Pulls out Unexpected Prop During Interview, Stuns Anchor With Trump Comparison” HERE)

Mitt Romney’s Wife Is Praising Trump, Here’s Why [+video]

While Ann Romney wouldn’t necessarily name her favorite candidates running for president, she did praise Donald Trump while talking to Sean Hannity last night.

“This country’s important. Where we’re going, where we’re headed right now is critical. These are critical things that we’re talking about,” Romney said.
