Biden Considers His Future Amid Pressure To Make A Bid For President

By Karen Tumulty, Dan Balz and Paul Kane
Aug 01, 2015
Washington Post

Joe Biden has never ruled out making a third try for the presidency, and as his self-declared, end-of-summer deadline to make a decision approaches, there are fresh signals that pressure is growing on him to do so.

As the vice president endures a long and painful process of grieving after the death of his son Beau, he has received thousands of telephone calls, letters, notes and other messages offering sympathy and encouragement.

Some of those who have reached out have also urged him to run for president, aides say.

At this point, however, Biden appears to be far from any decision about whether to heed those calls.

Where Is The Coverage Of Juanita Broaddrick?

By Daniel John Sobieski, Aug 01, 2015 American Thinker

The liberal media feeding frenzy about a quarter-century-old alleged marital rape involving GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, and former wife Ivana, has a fury that was strangely absent when Bill Clinton was credibly accused of rape by Juanita Broaddrick in a Little Rock hotel room in 1978 when William Jefferson Clinton was attorney general of Arkansas.

Ivana says her alleged “rape” never happened, Juanita Broaddrick says hers did. So why aren’t Hillary and Bill being peppered with questions about it as Donald and Ivana are? Perhaps because unlike liberal nemesis Trump’s case, Clinton’s more credidble story is now considered “old news”.

4 Poll Numbers That Should Make Hillary Worried

By Chris Cillizza, July 27, 2015
Washington Post

Four poll numbers came out over the weekend that are decidedly sobering for Hillary Clinton's presidential prospects in 2016.

The first two come from NBC/Marist College polls conducted in Iowa and New Hampshire. In Iowa, 23 percent more people saw Clinton in an unfavorable light than a favorable one; in New Hampshire, that gap is 20 points.

Then there are these numbers from two national polls released over the weekend. Here's Clinton long-term favorable/unfavorable trend line in Gallup:

Hillary Clinton Shifts Hollywood Strategy: Small Events, Big Money

By Tina Daunt, July 22, 2015
Hollywood Reporter

Walker, a Republican who built a national profile largely due to his clashes with labor unions, also released a campaign video at the same time declaring his entry in the race.

The video is heavy on images of Walker speaking to a crowd in an Iowa cornfield, as well as his 2010 battle with unions. The video includes Walker speaking directly to the camera touting his willingness to take on big fights.
“We didn’t nibble around the edges,” he says.

Walker has a national profile largely due to his clashes with labor unions.
He enacted policies weakening their political power and became the first governor in U.S. history to defeat a recall election. Now, on the eve of his campaign launch, Walker’s task is to remind Republican voters about the four-year-old fight and the recall election sparked by his efforts to weaken unions — and a series of lesser-known triumphs he says set him apart from the crowded Republican field.

Bernie’s Strange Brew Of Nationalism And Socialism

By Kevin D. Williamson, July 13, 2015 National Review

Marshalltown, Iowa — “​All foreign-made vehicles park in designated area in rear of building.” So reads the sign in front of United Auto Workers Local 893 in Marshalltown, Iowa, though nobody is bothered much about the CNN satellite truck out front, a Daimler-AG Freightliner proudly declaring itself “Powered by Mercedes-Benz,” nor about the guys doggedly and earnestly unpacking yard signs and $15 T-shirts and rolls of giveaway stickers from a newish Subaru, all that swag bearing the face and/or logo of Senator Bernie Sanders, the confessing socialist from Brooklyn representing Vermont in the Senate who is, in his half-assed and almost endearingly low-rent way, challenging Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. The bumper stickers on the mainly foreign-made cars of his followers tell the story: One of those “Peace” (not the more popular “Coexist”) slogans made of various world religious symbols, “Clean Water Is for Life!” and “The Warren Wing of the Democratic Party,” sundry half-literate denunciations of “Corporate Oligarchy” . . . “Not Just Gay — Ecstatic!”

Smoking Gun in Hillary Clinton Benghazi Email

By Tom Fitton, July 15, 2015 Newsmax

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence,” said President Calvin Coolidge, and Judicial Watch continues to prove it, much to Hillary Clinton’s consternation.

Judicial Watch now has information about an email directly tying Clinton, for the first time, to the now-debunked Benghazi talking points used by then-U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice to claim the attack was the result of a “spontaneous protest” gone awry.

Showing contempt for transparency, the Obama State Department is refusing to divulge the contents of the email.

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit in July 2014 seeking records from Clinton and her top State Department staff about the Benghazi talking points scandal, specifically, copies of any updates and/or talking points given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency concerning, regarding, or related to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya; and any and all records or communications concerning, regarding, or relating to talking points or updates on the Benghazi attack given to Ambassador Rice by the White House or any federal agency.

Bernie Sanders Shows Donald Trump How It’s Done

By Caroline Baum, July 15, 2015 Market Watchs

He's been drawing huge, enthusiastic crowds in states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and Wisconsin. He speaks with passion about the plight of the middle class and the growing wealth and income inequality in America. He says the system is rigged in favor of the very rich. He advocates for the same redistributionist policies today as he has for his entire life.

With Bernie Sanders, the second-term Independent senator from Vermont and self-declared socialist turned presidential candidate, “what you see is what you get,” according to a recent Politico profile.

Trump: I'm Not Thinking Third Party --For Now

By Byron York July 7, 2015, Washington Examiner

Donald Trump's 2016 presidential run seems custom-made for a third party. The billionaire developer has never held political office, never run as a Republican or Democrat. He doesn't need a party's money-raising apparatus. His anti-politician appeal — "Politicians are never going to bring us to the promised land" — cuts equally against Republicans and Democrats. And as far as Republicans are concerned, Trump appears to connect with GOP voters who are so disgusted with the party's current Washington leadership that they would be open to a third-party campaign.

But in an interview Tuesday, Trump said he has no interest in running as a third-party candidate, at least for the moment.

Dem Gets Booed For Whining About Koch Brothers

Jim Treacher, Oct. 27, 2014, DailyCaller.com

It’s hard to believe, but people are getting sick of Democrats blaming everything on the Koch brothers. It was a dumb tactic to begin with, and as election day looms, the Dems’ bristling panic doesn’t make them sound any smarter.

Machines Flip GOP Votes To Democrats In Maryland

Kenric Ward, Oct. 25, 2014, Examiner.com 

Voting machines that switch Republican votes to Democrats are being reported in Maryland.

“When I first selected my candidate on the electronic machine, it would not put the ‘x’ on the candidate I chose -- a Republican -- but it would put the ‘x’ on the Democrat candidate above it,” reported Donna Hamilton.

“This happened multiple times with multiple selections. Every time my choice flipped from Republican to Democrat. Sometimes it required four or five tries to get the ‘x’ to stay on my real selection,” the Frederick, Md., resident said Thursday.

Mark Pryor Says Middle Class = $200,000 A Year

By Washington Free Beacon Staff, Oct. 14, 2014, Freebeacon.com

Sen. Mark Pryor (D., Ark.), showed just how out of touch he is Tuesday when he said the middle class earns “up to $200,000” a year during the Arkansas U.S. Senate debate.

Pryor, who is roughly five points behind his Republican challenger Rep. Tom Cotton, sunk deeper after showing how removed he is from reality.

Mary Landrieu Replaces Campaign Manager

By James Hohmann, Oct. 8, 2014, Politico.com

In what appears to be a significant October campaign shakeup, Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu is replacing her campaign manager and bringing on her former chief of staff as a senior adviser.

The Democrat has pushed Adam Sullivan out of the manager role and replaced him with Ryan Berni, who ran her brother Mitch’s reelection campaign as New Orleans mayor. Berni is a former aide to Clintonista and Louisianan James Carville.

Polls show Landrieu falling short of the 50 percent she needs to avoid a December runoff, and Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy has a slight lead in head-to-head matchups.

“Like any of the Senator’s winning campaigns, we are tightening our senior strategy team and bringing on some of her long time advisers to help out during the last month of the race,” Landrieu spokesman Fabien Levy emailed POLITICO.

Charges Against Conn. Dem Damages Leftwing Argument That Voter Fraud Doesn’t Exist

Rep. Christina “Tita” Ayala (D-Bridgeport) 
By Jason Howerton, Sept. 29, 2014, Theblaze.com

Police arrested Connecticut state Rep. Christina “Tita” Ayala (D-Bridgeport) Friday on 19 voting fraud charges. The Chief State’s Attorney’s Office said in a press release that Ayala allegedly voted in local and state elections in districts where she does not reside.

Ayala also allegedly fabricated evidence to investigators with the state Election Enforcement Commission, providing an inaccurate address to justify her voting in a district where she doesn’t actually live, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.


The voter fraud charges come after the Elections Enforcement Commission referred the case to the Office of the Chief State’s Attorney and recommended criminal charges in 2013.

More from the New Haven Register:

Ayala allegedly voted in various Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee elections, a municipal primary election and a state primary election between 2009 and 2012 in districts inconsistent with the location of her residence, according to the release. She is also accused of voting in the Bridgeport state general election in 2012 in a district where she didn’t live.

Democratic Judicial Candidate's Husband Is A White Supremacist

By Gideon Resnick, Aug. 11, 2014, Thedailybeast.com

The husband of a Democratic candidate running for a judicial seat in Connecticut has just made things very difficult for his wife.

The husband of a Connecticut Democrat running for a probate judge seat caused a social media kerfluffle on Friday after it turned out he’s an enthusiastic backer of what looks a lot like white supremacy, much to the exasperation of his political wife, who faces the voters on Tuesday.

Robert Freeman made headlines on Friday after his blog Mindweapons of Ragnarok was exposed by One People’s Project, an organization devoted to monitoring hate groups.

On his blog, he writes how he wants to establish whites-only towns, employing individuals from other cultures and races as spies in an agenda to shape America in his image.

His wife, Anna Zubkova, is running as a Democrat for a probate judge seat in Plainfield, Conn. The election is on Tuesday and Freeman is rightfully concerned that his political views might infringe upon her chances.

“He did not have those views when we married, but acquired them after,” Zubkova told The Norwich Bulletin. “What am I supposed to do? Divorce him? It’s not unusual for husbands and wives to have different views.”

According to Freeman, Zubkova, who did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast, obtained her citizenship through the marriage.

Freeman originally responded to the allegations on his website in a post Friday.

Wow! Dem Congressman Tweets His Real Feeling About Israel--It’s Disturbing

By Young Conservatives, Aug. 3, 2014, Youngcons.com

Two days ago, on August 1st, Beto retweeted Twitter user “Mosh Miller,” saying that Israeli’s missile-interception system, which is purely defensive, is an “atrocity” and the U.S. should “stop funding” it.

O’Rourke apparently had second thoughts and removed his retweet, but he wasn’t fast enough to evade our friends at Twitchy.

The Iron Dome is Israel’s missile-interception system. Its purpose is purely defensive, i.e., to protect Israeli civilians from incoming rockets. Late Friday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 395-8 for a $225 million package to help Israel replenish the Iron Dome system. The bill, which was approved earlier by the Senate in a voice vote, now goes to President Obama. 
One of the eight House members to vote against funding was Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas. Via the El Paso Times: 
“I could not in good conscience vote for borrowing $225 million more to send to Israel, without debate and without discussion, in the midst of a war that has cost more than a thousand civilian lives already, too many of them children,” O’Rourke said in a statement…

Michigan Dem Sen Candidate:  "Immigration Reform Is NOT About Enforcement"

By Matthew Boyle, Aug. 1, 2014, Breitbart.com

Democratic Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI), the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee in Michigan, told attendees of a town hall event in Detroit’s Mexicantown neighborhood that immigration reform was not about enforcing America’s laws.

“Immigration reform is not about enforcement,” Peters said in a short video clip obtained by Breitbart News. “It’s about finding a way to fix the problems in our immigration system.”

The event was held April 6, 2013, and was hosted by local pro-amnesty organization One Michigan—before the Senate passed the “Gang of Eight” immigration bill. The organization pushed for that bill and frequently advocates on its Facebook page on behalf of illegal aliens.

This comment could become problematic for Peters, who is losing steam in what previously seemed like a sure bet of a Senate race for Democrats. Republican Terri Lynn Land has been gaining on Peters, as a recent New York Times and CBS News poll put Land up a point over Peters.

Land has been fundraising successfully as well, raking in $3.3 million last quarter,according to the Washington Free Beacon. She bested Peters, who pulled in just under $2 million. 


The Wall Street Journal recently reported that national Democrats are worried about the seat, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) has already reserved $6.3 million worth of advertising in Michigan this year in an effort to protect the seat—which is currently held by retiring Democratic Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI).

Luis Gutierrez To La Raza: Get Amnesty To 'Punish' Americans Against Illegal Immigration

By Tony Lee, Jul. 21, 2014, Breitbart.com

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) believes Hispanics should get amnesty and citizenship to punish Americans who are against illegal immigration.

After he told the La Raza conference in Los Angeles that President Barack Obama gave the Latino community a "down payment" with his temporary amnesty program that halted the deportations "of our people," Gutierrez urged Hispanics to seek retribution at the ballot box.

"We need to raise our voices, make ourselves citizens, sign up to vote and punish those who speak ill and criminalize children who come to our border," Gutierrez reportedly said in Spanish this weekend.

Gutierrez addressed the conference this weekend and also spoke on a panel. He said Obama assured him in a White House meeting last week with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus that he would use executive actions to be a "generous and broad" as he can to "stop the deportation of people each and every day," as Breitbart News reported.

Gutierrez has been one of the biggest proponents of a pathway to citizenship for all of the country's illegal immigrants.

By Shadee Ashtari, May 1, 2014, Huffingtonpost.com

Rep. Janice Hahn (D-Calif.) walked out of the National Day of Prayer event at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, saying she was "outraged" after James Dobson, founder of the conservative Christian advocacy group Focus on the Family, called President Barack Obama the “abortion president.”

“President Obama, before he was elected, made it very clear that he wanted to be the abortion president. He didn’t make any bones about it," Dobson, whose organization recently won a temporary injunction against the Affordable Care Act’s employer contraception mandate, said on Thursday. "This is something that he really was going to promote and support, and he has done that, and in a sense he is the abortion president."

In an interview with The Huffington Post on Thursday, Hahn called the speech deeply "inappropriate" and a violation of the event's symbol as a nonpartisan day of unity.

“He goes on about health care and … providing abortions, and at that point I stood up and I pointed my finger at Dr. Dobson and I said, ‘This is inappropriate!’ and walked out,” Hahn told HuffPost.

By Bill Korach, Nov. 2013,  thereportcard.org

A plaque at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago states “This building is dedicated to public service honoring the memory of Abraham Lincoln Democrat.” Lincoln, of course was a Republican and in fact one of the founders of the Republican Party. The strangely worded plaque was installed in 1905, but Charlie Kirk, founder and executive director of the Illinois-based Turning Point USA, a nationwide young conservatives student movement, said Monday in an interview with The College Fix that “now is the time for removal and replacement.”


According to building archives, “the word democrat was used because Lincoln was an advocate for democracy—the political or social equality of all people,” campus officials stated in a press release. “The word was not chosen to reflect a political affiliation. … Northeastern Illinois University recognizes the context that this plaque was created and intends to uphold its integrity.”
