Bernie Sanders Rising Because Trump Annihilating Hillary Clinton

by John Nolte The DC Media might be vile and corrupt, but these vile and corrupt people are not stupid. For 25 years, the mainstream media have protected Bill and Hillary Clinton from their appalling history when it comes to their real and alleged abuses of a dozen or so women. And as we saw just last month when CNN cut off a guest’s microphone, the same DC media that attempted to destroy Clarence Thomas over a single nothingburger allegation, intended to keep that protection racket firmly in place until Their Girl was in the White House cementing Barack Obama’s… View Article

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

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.

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
