Michelle Malkin on our broken system.

Bill Gertz: Iran Conducts Space Launch

Charles Hurt at Breitbart has some advice for Ted Cruz. Mere weeks ago, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) of Texas pressured Ohio Gov. John Kasich to get out of the race for the Republican nomination because he had no mathematical chance of winning. Ted ought to take his own advice.

Vox Populi on why he supports Trump: …how can anyone support a candidate whose public statements are, to put it mildly, inconsistent—when they are completely self-contradictory. The answer is as simple as it is conclusive and convincing. Donald Trump is the only candidate in either major party whose personal interests are aligned with those of…

I was having a discussion with a guy who held up Reagan as the model of a principled conservative. He mentioned the House Liberty Caucus obliquely. Well I had a few words for him. * Reagan amping up Drug Prohibition is limited government? And his importing cocaine to support the Contras? Well that fits right…

Canada plans to pass a law to legalize marijuana by the spring of 2017. Health Minister Jane Philpott, speaking at a special session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, said the Canadian law will ensure marijuana is kept away from children and keep criminals from profiting from its sale. “We will work…

Evidently there are no rules at all. Not even a semblance of rules. I saw Al D’Amato in the lobby today. Um, Senator Alfonse D’Amato. I saw him down there. And he said they will change the rules. He said, “Shepard, they will change the rules and it will give Kasich a shot.” Now he’s…

There is a Facebook page titled Assassinate Donald Trump. While censoring posts mildly critical of feminism, Facebook has refused to remove a page entitled “Assassinate Donald Trump,” claiming that it doesn’t violate the company’s “community standards”. After a Facebook user reported the page, Facebook responded by saying it would take no further action. “We reviewed…

Rand Paul says there are no rules. Yet. Paul said, “It kinda reminds me of when I play golf. I usually like to say we’ll decide what the bet is after we decide what the scores are. When you say we’re going to adhere to the rules, you realize the rules haven’t been written yet.…

Here is the link to Libertarians For Trump. What they don’t get is that if you want peace desperately you encourage war.

According to this biography she was illiterate. Her journeys into the land of slavery put her at tremendous risk, and she used a variety of subterfuges to avoid detection. Tubman once disguised herself with a bonnet and carried two live chickens to give the appearance of running errands. Suddenly finding herself walking toward a former…

The headline reads: MS GOP Chair Threatens Police Armed with ‘A Gun and a Badge’ Will Forcibly Remove Trump, Cruz Backers from Delegate Process The chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party is threatening to use armed state law enforcement agents to forcibly remove Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) supporters at the next round…

(About 30 seconds) This is an ad for Trump Castle Hotel & Casino. This ad or ones like it ran for years in the North Eastern US. The Hotel & Casino was open from May 1984 to September of 2014. About 30 years. That is a lot of advertising. And there are primaries yet to…

CapitalistRoader and I were having a conversation about Trump’s motives in running for President. You can click the link to see what he thinks. Here are my ruminations. Very slightly edited. == I dunno. Some days I think I have imbibed the Kool Aid. I think he means it. And you will recall that I…

The cigar might explain the cough. And she certainly is Crooked.

Bill Quick had this very cogent comment about the ongoing primary season: I think that after Trump finishes off Cruz next Tuesday, he’ll actually start to shed some of the delegates he already has. To Trump. Lots of people prefer to be on the winner’s team. Especially in politics, because that’s where the gravy is.…

First off as I said earlier, he would be a good insurance policy. Who in the oligarchy (I originally spelled it – oiligarchy – which is not far off) would want to knock off Trump for Paul? Second off he would get those Ted Cruz supporters who think Constitutionalism is important. And he would pick…

When it comes to Trump, those who know him best like him a lot. The enthusiasm for Ted Cruz in his home State is not quite so positive.

This daily tracking poll shows Ted Cruz has started to drop in the polls. The drop should get more significant as the New York results sink in. Ted got Zero (0) delegates. The red line is Trump. The green line is Cruz. The blue line is the other guy.
