Thousands of Americans Losing Their Jobs as Factories Shutter, Move to Mexico

Donald Trump is poised for the strongest primary performance in modern history

by Noah Millman For months, the press and the Republican establishment alike have been expecting the Trump bubble to implode. Now that it’s clear Trump isn’t going anywhere, we’re seeing stories about a long slog of a campaign or even a brokered convention. But there’s a very real possibility that, far from those kinds of days of reckoning, Donald Trump could actually “run the table.” Ironically, Trump not only could win — he could win more decisively than any non-incumbent Republican contestant for the nomination since the dawn of the modern primary system. Let’s see how that might happen. New… View Article

The Specter of Donald Trump Is Haunting Davos

Jeff Black Jeffrey_Black If Donald Trump as president of the United States is the ghost that’s stalking Davos, many among the global elite hope he’ll be banished by spring. Others see that as wishful thinking. “I think the nominees will be Donald Trump for the Republicans and Hillary Clinton” for the Democrats, Donald Baer, a former White House adviser under President Bill Clinton, said at a panel co-hosted by Bloomberg and WPP Plc. “The next year will be a very uncertain, chaotic period.” Eric Cantor, left, Donald Baer, center, and Martin Sorrell speak at Davos.

Vote-Trutherism: Glenn Beck Triples Down On Debunked Claim Trump Voted for Obama

by John Nolte Last last week, Blaze founder Glenn Beck fell for a phony, photo-shopped tweet that had Donald Trump bragging about voting for Barack Obama in 2008.  Beck then spread this misinformation through his own Twitter account and on Fox News’s “O’Reilly Factor.” Once he realized he had been duped, using his Facebook account, Beck wrote a gracious, unreserved apology to Trump and set the record straight. All good. We all make mistakes. There but by the grace of God go I. Rather than leave it at that, reminiscent of Dan Rather’s career-ending RatherGate scandal, Beck has since launched… View Article

Trump Blasts ‘Wacko’ Glenn Beck: ‘Failing, Crying, Lost Soul!’

by John Nolte21 Jan 20169 Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday to blast The Blaze’s Glenn Beck as a “failing, crying, lost soul” and “wacko.” Beck has not only put his support behind Trump’s main rival in the primary race, Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), the talk show host has been on a somewhat bizarre crusade-of-sorts to prove Trump voted for Obama in 2008. Even after Beck fell for a phony tweet and was forced to apologize to Trump, The Blaze founder has since tripled down on this phony claim. Thursday morning, Trump responded: — Wacko @glennbeck… View Article

Students Boycott High School’s Required ‘Racial Identity’ Day

by Joel B. Pollak21 Jan 201640 At least one thousand students skipped New Trier High School’s mandatory day of “racial identity” classes on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The suburban Chicago high school, which ranks among the top public high schools in the country, held class on the public holiday, and scheduled seminars on “systemic racism” that sought to increase students’ awareness “of their own racial identities and the identities of others.” But students stayed away in droves. One parent, whose daughter is biracial, told Breitbart News that her daughter had deliberately avoided the program for fear of being singled out and forced to define… View Article

Liberals wind down controversial political audits of charitable groups

The Liberal government is winding down a controversial Conservative program of political-activity audits on charities, but it won’t redefine what is political — nor will it change how much political work a registered charity can do. Some 24 ongoing audits will continue in an effort to address any “serious deficiencies” that are found, Federal Revenue Minister Diane Lebouthillier said Wednesday in a news release. However six other charities previously targeted for examination won’t get audited, and five organizations that previously had their charitable status revoked are being invited to appeal. The Canada Revenue Agency says 30 political activity audits have already been completed under a controversial, $13.4-million program… View Article

With twice the debt of California, Ontario is now the world’s most indebted sub-sovereign borrower

Yield spreads on some of the province’s debt reached the widest since January after the ratings move. Ontario, with about 13.7… View Article
