As the dust settles in Iowa and the mad dash to New Hampshire commences, the political landscape is starting to take it’s true form. Last night we saw a very strong victory from Ted Cruz, a humbling defeat to Donald trump and a somewhat surprising 3rd place finish for Marco Rubio.

Yes, “defeat” is kind of a strong word as Trump will surely comeback strong in the upcoming primaries but as they always say, if you’re not first, you’re last. He even quoted someone in a tweet back in 2013 “No one remembers 2nd place.” Last night was more a win for Cruz than it was a loss for Trump. Cruz had to win Iowa to get any type of momentum early on. Trump will most likely win New Hampshire and is leading in South Carolina by about 15-16 points so if he can finish with a strong 2nd place showing in NH, he might be able to close the gap in South Carolina less than 2 weeks out and be within striking distance for a big win. If Cruz would have lost Iowa, it would have more than likely set him up for an 0-3 start and a very challenging uphill climb.

In other news last night, Ben Carson was rather upset at the Cruz camp for perpetuating a rumor that Carson had dropped out of Iowa was going home so Carson voters should jump ship and go over to Cruz. Carson called it a “dirty trick which in fairness, it was but hey, it’s politics. Cruz apologized for not sending out a follow up that Carson was just going home for some clean clothes (still kind of an odd reason).

All-in-all, it was a fun and exciting caucus. I hope Trump will be humbled and get more  serious politically. He needs to not rely so much on just pleasing a crowd of his supporters with things everybody wants to hear. Obama did that, I want to see more specifics rather than “It’s going to be great. The best you have ever seen.” Well Donald, how? Start laying out specific plans. His economic plan, no surprise to any one, was fantastic, acclaimed by many economists and most of all, will hurt the globalists.

My impressions on Cruz’s performance  was first, hell of a ground game. That man gave his all and was able to  grind it out to the finish. That’s what we need in a candidate in my opinion. He is an incredible debater and very convincing as we saw in the final hours and days in Iowa. What i would like to see from him is he needs to be more charismatic. He gives off a sense that he can’t connect to people on a personal level. He seems cold and rigid and while i like that when he is in Washington, some voters might be put of by that. He does have his funny, snarky moments in debates so maybe he can bring that out more on the campaign trail.

Well, it’s onto New Hampshire for what will likely be a crazy, jam packed Tuesday night as well. Hope you will join me as i plan on covering that as well! See you next Tuesday!

We’re just under an hour away from The Iowa caucus. With a somewhat close battle between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz with The Donald leading Cruz in the last Bloomberg/DMR poll 28-23 and a dead heat between the socialist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders and Hillary “What difference do it make?” Clinton with Clinton leading Bernie 45-42. It’s all coming down to turnout.

Will all the socialist college kids looking for free stuff turn out? Bernie along with Trump have brought new voters out of the woodwork but will they turnout? The Iowa Caucus, a unique primary to the rest of the nation can be very overwhelming and extremely confusing to young, inexperienced voters. So will they turnout?

At a Trump rally in Iowa today, there were a concerning number of empty seats and people were reportedly leaving early and Trump had to as well since he and Sarah Palin had to drive to his next stop rather than fly.

While Rubio and Carson have the highest favorability ratings within the GOP field, Trumps and Cruz still hold a commanding lead with Rubio in a good position for a good night but let’s hope not. The Favorability for Cruz is considerably higher than Trump 65%-50%, Trump also has the less favorable rating among GOP voters with 47% with only his buddy JEB! beating him out with 53%.

Enthusiasm! Enthusiasm is key to good turnout and Cruz also had The Donald’s number in this category as well beating him 56%-44%. It appears to me that the enthusiasm gap we see in the polls echo trump’s thinning crowd today. His absence at Thursday’s debate may hurt him but then again, what has hurt him?. We will see.

My prediction is that we will be going late into the night with a close race and Ted Cruz’s favorability/enthusiasm will set him up to pull of the upset. I really think the establishment media will be dead wrong about Rubio but with JEB! hardly showing a heartbeat in the race, his supporters might jump ship to Rubio and insure a strong 3rd place.

Ted really needs to win tonight or he faces a real uphill battle in the coming primaries with Trump up big in NH and SC.

It’s going to be a real barn-burner tonight and I hope everyone is caffeinated for a very long, interesting night!

Degenerate liberals are at it again! By now many of you have seen the “Tuck Frump” video on YouTube. Now don’t be fool by the incredibly clever and very original use of Pig Latin. File this one under “cringe worthy”. If the disproportionate ratio of dislikes vs. likes weren’t an immediate sign of the brain dead, pathetic attempt at “comedy”, maybe the disingenuous, baseless attacks will be. Now in the interest of saving the readers of this post a wall of text to debunk this mess, I’m going to let Paul Joseph Watson do the honors…

 

Well done Mr. Watson, well done!

Now I would’t call myself a “Trump supporter” I personally am on the fence about him but I just could not resist showing everybody the level of stupidity coming out of a leftist’s mouth. I don’t know about you, but I find it hilarious that in classic liberal form, they get offended by words and then respond with, you guessed it, vulgarity! This is just further validation that in order to destroy a liberal just shove a microphone and camera in their face and they can’t wait to broadcast their SJW credentials to the unsuspecting public.

Now if you’re feeling like a little rebel and have a thing for self punishment, here is the link to original video…

FINAL WARNIG!!!! CRINGE. WORTHY! ENJOY!

Yesterday afternoon Ammon Bundy, his brother Ryan and six others associated with the armed standoff with the feds at Malheur Wildlife refuge were on route to a tow called John Day 70 miles North of Burns, Oregon when federal authorities along with Harney County Sheriff Deputies conducted a traffic stop on two vehicles containing the protesters.

Protesters that were taken into custody include the Bundy brothers, Ryan 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., and Ammon, 40, of Emmett, Idaho, along with  Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville; Shawna Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah; and Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda,Mont.

 

 

Pete Santilli, host of an online radio, and Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, ofCottonwood, Ariz. were also taken into custody at a seperate location nears Burns, Oregon.

Many describe it more as an “ambush” with armored vehicles and snipers in the trees. The deadly confrontation resulted in Ryan Bundy sustaining a minor gunshot wound and tragically claimed the life of LeVoy Finicum, 55. Some witnesses say (including his daughter via Facebook) Lavoy was unarmed and had his hands in the air and the the feds executed him shooting him in the face and three more times while on the ground. Other contradicting eyewitness accounts say that Lavoy charged at officers forcing them to shoot him.

Mark McConnell, driver of one of the cars that Ammon Bundy rode in, released his eyewitness account of what happened. This version seems to contradict the claims of LaVoy’s daughter and several other witnesses:

 

***Update*** Shortly after 11 A.M. PST, the FBI and local authorities held a press conference in Burns, Oregon where they did not really have new information on the shooting last night just mainly identifying the individuals that were taken into custody and The deceased victim was identified as LaVoy Finicum, 55. Both FBI investigators and the Harney County Sheriff David Ward all echoed the same remarks saying they want this to end peacefully and without additional loss of life.

A small group of the remaining protesters are still dug in at the refuge saying the’re ready and willing to defend themselves. They have moved government vehicles to block the feds from getting to the refuge and have also dug defensive positions in the snow anticipating a confrontation with law enforcement.

With both sides drawing a line in the sand and one side already suffering a casualty, emotions remain high and all we can do is hope and pray there is no more bloodshed because if there is, we know who wins.Obama and his fellow globalist criminal enterprise.

At a campaign rally in Marshalltown, Iowa Presidential frontrunner Donald Trump told reporters “Most likely, I wont be doing the debate.”

Trump went on to add that Kelly was was a “third rate reporter” and asking what games is Roger Ailes Playing. “What’s going on over there?” he asks. “I came to Iowa prepared to do the debate, but after Fox news sent out “wise guy press releases so I said Bye-Bye.”

Mr. Trump said he might do an event to raise money for veterans while the debate is going on. ‘I want to make the wounded warriors rich, not Fox News” trump added

“He’s definitely not participating in the Fox News Debate,” Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said “His word is his bond.” Lewandowski told The Washington Post.

Trump has called for Fox News to remove Megyn Kelly as a moderator for Thursday’s debate ever since Trump says she was unfair in the first debate. It will definitely be interesting to see who  this affects more, Fox New’s Trumpless Debate rating or Donald Trump’s numbers at the polls which is clearly where it counts. We will see.

The stage is set in Iowa as candidates square off 4 days before the Iowa caucuses.Today on Fox New’s Special Report Host Bret Baier announced the eight presidential candidates that will be participating in Thursday night’s debate on Fox News.

The candidates who qualified for the Main debate at 9 P.M. ET are:

1. Donald Trump (Billionaire businessman)
2. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
3. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL
4. Ben Carson (Ret. Neurosurgeon)
5. Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL)
6. Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ)
7. Gov. John Kasich (R-OH)
8. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

With Trump and Cruz neck-and-neck 4 days before Iowa, Thursday’s debate is sure to be a good one. I’m glad to see Sen. Paul is at the “Big Boy Table” where he belongs. He may not win but his voice definitely deserves to be heard.

Fox News also announced the undercard debate at & P.M. ET and those candidates are: former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, former Arkansas Gov Mike Huckabee, former Pennsylvania Gov Rick Santorum and Former Virginia Gov Jim Gilmore.

On Monday Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) told The Steve Malzberg Show that The FBI is ready to indict Hillary Clinton on federal criminal charges. This stemming from 1,300 classified documents that have surfaced on her private serve putting her in direct violation of the Espionage Act (18 U.S. Code & 793 subsection f) which is very clear.

By all indications the FBI is ready to indict Hillary and FBI insiders have said that if the Obama Justice Dept will not follow the FBI’s recommendation,they will go public with their findings.

“I have friends in the FBI and they tell me they’re ready to indict Mrs. Clinton. They’re ready to recommend an Indictment and they also say that if the attorney general does not indict, they will go public.” DeLay told The Steve Malzberg Show.

 

 

DeLay added “One way or another she’s going to be indicted and that process begins, or we try her in the public eye with her campaign. One way or another she’s going to have to face these charges.”

 

Former Attorney general Michael Mukasey also spoke with Malzburg on Monday telling him that if The Obama Justice Dept. does no indict, it would result in Watergate level resignations.

“The fact is that the president can direct the attorney general not to bring charges. The attorney general works for the president and the president can order that … Although I can’t believe that you wouldn’t get people resigning in the wake of something like that, the same way that we did at the time of Watergate,” Mukasey said.

1,300 classified E-mails are just the tip of the iceberg as the FBI has recently expanded their criminal probe to Public Ethics violations pertaining to conflict of interest “Pay to Play” schemes as Breitbart.Com reports.

 

“Somehow this has become routine. The reporting is routine. My response at this podium end up being routine. The conversation in the aftermath of it. We’ve become numb to this.”

 

If you are like me, then hearing the words “Gun Control” one more damn time will induce vomiting. Yes, it’s in the title of this post, not my problem, make sure you have a trash can nearby.
In the wake of the Umpqua Community College mass shooting on Thursday, President Obama went on yet again about how “common sense gun laws” needed to be passed to prevent future mass shootings. But that’s just the thing. Not one of the previously proposed new gun laws would have stopped the mass shootings we have seen recently. He passed a background check for the guns he purchased and the rest were given to him by family and not even Obama’s SUPER-super-duper background checks could prevent that.
So you have to wonder, if all these SUPER-super-duper laws would not have achieved what they were said to achieve, then why push so hard for them? Well part of the reason is most politicians are so worthless they just have to do something in order for them to feel good about their useless existence. The more sinister reason is gun control is not about guns, it’s about control. Cliche I know, but it’s true. The common consensus about healthcare back in 2008 was “something has to be done!” Well something was done and we all got Punk’d!
We have had guns in this country since our inception. Hell, how do you think we got here? Does anyone find it odd that we have lost our minds in terms of gun violence just in the last decade or so?
The answer lies within us as a people. Our moral fiber is completely destroyed. Right is wrong and wrong is right. We don’t value human life anymore. We view life as more of an inconvenience more than anything. We abort the ones we don’t want at the beginning of the life and throw it into a home for someone else to take care of at the end of life.
Another key issue in society that iin my opinion plays a huge role in the current state we are in is the youth today feel this overwhelming need to be praised and recognized for anything and everything they do. If you coddle them and let them grow up thinking the world is some nice, fluffy marshmellowey place, pump them full of anti depressants, let them have access to guns in the house and turn them loose on society, what the hell do you think will happen at least most of the time?!
I will end with this question… You see so many gun grabbers talking about the “NRA lobby” and how evil it is and nothing will change because of it. A lot of people also say pharmaceuticals and mental health are also big issues in this country. So what are the odds those two things don’t get touched because of their lobbying which is apparently ok by some twist of logic and The NRA remains the boogie man. I’d say pretty high.

 

Keep it RIGHT, AMERICA!!!!!!

 

EPIC FACE/PALM!!!!!! LOLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow talk about a jam-packed day at CPAC! There were so many speakers today that i couldn’t keep up with them all and had to wait until they were posted on YouTube. It probably did’t help that Senator Paul had to postpone his speech for a vote in the senate that messed up the scheduling. There were so many speakers and so much to cover that this post would be 10 pages long and I will not bore you with that so i am going to write about the speakers that I think are the most important as it pertains to the road to 2016 and the overall conservative movement. Here it goes…

 

Sean Hannity- I thought his speech was okay. Now full disclosure I am a pretty big fan of his radio and TV show so i don’t want to sound like I have some sort of beef with him because I think he’s great. I thought his message and outreach to young conservatives was awesome and near and dear to my heart so I give him a lot of credit for that. I liked how aside from him being a big name in politics, he seemed like the common man giving a speech. A little rough on the edges but overall pretty good. The only things I didn’t like was him doing his Bill Clinton impression every time he spoke whether it was him doing Q&A for other speakers or his actual speech. I also did’t hear anything new that I haven’t heard a billion times on his shows and he also needs to retire the “It’s Bush’s fault” joke. All in all it was great seeing him at CPAC and look forward to interviews with GOP candidates.

Rand Paul- I thought Rand Paul’s speech was the 2nd best speech so far next to Ted Cruz and Palin (first place tie). He’s so bold and fresh that it’s just a breath of fresh air to have him as one of the leading voices in the republican party. The reason I put him second was that the crowd was his crowd and he probably could have stood there and recited the entire dictionary and end up getting a standing ovation. I loved his passion for liberty and ALL of the bill of rights and how protects the other. You also can’t hate a politician that shows up in boots and jeans for when most other people (excluding Phil Robertson of course) are in the cookie cutter suit and tie. I think he’s a huge asset to the GOP and am excited to see what he brings to the GOP field. C’mon people, he’s running. You’re probably looking at a CPAC strawpoll 3peat which is incredible.

Wayne Le Pierre- What a great message he brought to CPAC. He explained the importance of protecting yourself in growing global turmoil which couldn’t be more relevant than it is right now. He, like Senator Paul also discussed the importance of being for the entire bill of rights if you are a true defender of freedom which is a great message since it seems that concept is fading into the liberal shadows. The only thing I did not like was his closing which sounded more like a recruitment pitch to join the NRA which i guess you can’t really blame on that.

Phil Robertson- I mean. what’s not to like about the guy? He’s raw, real and he doesn’t give a damn what a liberal thinks. You know what I saw to that? #PhilRobertson2016!!! But in all seriousness I did enjoy what he to say on faith and traditional American values. Phil is a great addition to the conservative movement because he’s so far outside the beltway he’s the new founder of the backwoods GOP wing of the party.

Jeb Bush- Not going to spend a bunch of time on him for obvious reasons but I did have a few thoughts. I thought there was an arrogance about him that i think is why many people are sick of Washington and politicians overall. He failed to even remotely change my mind on his education and immigration. Sealing the boarders was probably the only thing out of the immigration stance I liked ut what Republican hasn’t emphasized that? On education, the point that higher standards are needed is like “c’mon really? show me someone who doesn’t agree?!” All i got to say is he has some work to do,

Rick Perry- This was said on tv today so not exactly an original thought but he tried to hard. He came off more angry than passionate like he needed to be. The substance was a lot better than the presentation. With his experience and record as Governor and assuming he learned from his past mistake in 2012, he might just be a force to be reckoned with.

 

KEEP IT RIGHT AMERICA!!!!

 

 

 

CPAC, the four days out of the year that every PoliSci nerd impatiently waits 361 days for and what a great and exciting first day it was! I live on the west coast so I actually got up at 5:30am just to catch the livestream. Yeah I know, talk about a nerd! I hear people always say that CPAC is just a bunch of  like-minded people preaching to the choir and to some extent it is more than that. There is activist training on how to get out the vote, minority outreach, debating “taboo” issues to the GOP like gay marriage and Marijuana legalization and how to approach and hopefully win over undecideds which I think is one of the most important aspects of CPAC. It makes me really glad to see so man young people at CPAC and millennial oureach is a very important component to a 2016 victory. I think Raffi Williams,Mia Love,Ben Sasse and Charlie Kirk did an awesome job on the Millennial outreach panel.

Now probably the most exciting part of CPAC for many of us PoliSci junkies is seeing who the is an is not a contender for 2016. All throughout the day I have been taking a few notes on the speeches I saw this morning. Here are my thoughts…

Ben Carson– Probably the most intelligent person to speak so far. The guy is just witty and full of wisdom. Although I can’t say enough good things about him, I honestly don’t think he is presidential material. I don’t think he has the fire in the belly and the political experience to go up against the Clinton Machine. Like I said about Senator Lee, that doesn’t mean he cant affect change in a positive way for the country. I think he would be an outstanding HHS secretary or something along those lines. The best presidents always have a great cabinet and that can be vital in turning the country in the right direction.

Senator Mike Lee isn’t one of the best speakers in my opinion but actually gave a very good, inspiring speech. I liked the call for strong conservative candidates and not settling for anything less which seems to be all that the GOP has been doing for far too long. He gave a great quote that said “Don’t hate what’s in front of you, love what’s behind you.” I took that to mean while it sometimes can be fun and often times way to easy to bash on Obama and his goons, love what is behind you and the love that’s behind us is love of country, family values, a strong military and most importantly, American exceptionalism. Senator Lee said that he isn’t running for president in 2016 which is fine because I don’t think the only way to take back America is through the executive branch and I look forward t supporting him as he continues to fight for conservative principles.

Ted Cruz– Now this was probably my favorite speaker so far. The passion he gives in every speech is absolutely incredible. He like pretty much every speaker, spoke about fighting for our principles but by the end of it I was so motivated and ready to get off my ass and actually fight. The two points he made that i liked best were gay marriage and Marijuana legalization being left up to the states which is music to my ears and what my opinion on it has been for awhile and yes, I realize I am not the only one. I really hope Senator Cruz runs which I definitely think he will. I think he has the fire in his belly and can inspire the country to get back on it’s feet.

Scott Walker– Man this guy seems to beat everything liberals throw at him! I thought his speech was good overall. The substance was great and he has the leadership we all long for. What I didn’t like was kind of the presentation of the speech. I thought he seemed a little awkward and pointed way too much. He just seems like the guy who would easily be labeled as the “rich, out of touch white politician” like Romney and so many other GOP candidates have been. How he handled the heckler was great and hopefully a preview on how he will deal with liberals come 2016.

Sarah Palin– BEST SPEECH OF THE DAY! Wow where do i start? Dakota Meyer introducing her was a great surprise and got the whole speech of on the right foot. The emphasis on the military and foreign policy was the cherry on top for day 1. Nobody really touched on that a whole lot. Everybody had their own niche and that’s okay. I don’t think I would vote for her if she decides to run in 2016 but she is a great conservative voice and is good for the party. She has that everyday woman feel to her and that rough edge I like. No doubt we will be hearing from her more as 2016 approaches. Hey maybe a VP bid could be in her future, who knows!

Well it has been an eventful day watching and studying all the conservative minds speak and see who has promise to lead the party to victory and who doesn’t. Obviously I didn’t cover all the speaker because well, you wouldn’t want to read all that and I wouldn’t want to write it but I hope this gives people reading this who didn’t get to watch of the speakers an idea of what took place on this jam packed, eventful day at CPAC.

KEEP IT RIGHT, AMERICA!!!!
