An officially recognized society of Muslim police officers in the New York Police Department are championing the Muslim boy who is accusing Texas police of racism because they questioned him about his clock-in-a-box that he showed to school teachers. The Texas police suspected the jury-rigged clock-in-a-box was a hoax-bomb, not an actual bomb.
Top congressional staffers say Congress will delay approval of the unpopular Trans-Pacific Partnership free-trade deal until the lame-duck session after the 2016 election, according to Politico. A delay until November or December 2016 would allow companies and progressive groups their best opportunity to persuade retiring politicians, and the legislators who had just survived an election, to back the controversial deal.
Donald Trump can win the GOP’s nomination — unless the crowded Republican field consolidates around a rival, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker admitted Wednesday. “Yeah… it’s possible” that Trump can win, Walker told Wisconsin’s 620 WTMJ.
The five Democratic presidential candidates in the CNN debate closed ranks around their party’s self-serving demand for more immigration and migrant labor, leaving worried Americans with no Democratic candidates offering to shield them the inevitable wage-and-salary cuts. So two GOP candidates took the opportunity to win Americans’ votes.
Donald Trump gets 48 percent of the GOP’s primary vote, counting first and second choices, according to the latest large-scale poll by Morning Consult.
That’s three points short of a majority, and an almost-sure presidential nomination. The score include 34 percent in first-choice votes, and 14 percent in second-choice votes.
A new Internet-ad by Jeb Bush’s independent PAC erases fourth-place challenger Carly Fiorina from the GOP’s 2016 line-up. The 15-second ad shows Bush’s eight male rivals — Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, etc. — but noticeably excludes the one woman in the race.
Donor-class champion Rep. Paul Ryan is an enthusiastic ally of President Barack Obama’s plan to revive the disastrous 1960s rollback of criminal penalties. If Ryan becomes House Speaker, he’s likely to force GOP legislators to vote on Obama’s rollback which would release many violent criminals back on the streets – without even creating a chance for criminals to find decent jobs in Obama’s stalled, migration-flooded economy.
Sen. Marco Rubio has declared in a little-noticed TV interview that the United States should go to war against Russia, merely to block a flood of Muslim immigrants that can otherwise be stopped by a few European border guards.
Rep. Paul Ryan, the establishment’s great Wisconsin hope for the House Speakership, describes himself as a free-market, small government advocate. But in 2013, he touted federal legislation that created a national board to fix workers’ wages.
Leading GOP candidate and brain-surgeon Ben Carson just got hit by hostile research into his 15,000 or so medical operations. “They found five or six disgruntled people, that’s a very small number, and many of those cases never went anywhere, because the legal system said, ‘Are you kidding me?’ and threw it out,” he said.
President Barack Obama admitted Wednesday that high unemployment during his tenure is allowing U.S. companies to impose lower wages on Americans.
Donald Trump gave a one-hour interview to the Washington Post, and summed up his driving ambition and determination in 10 seconds. “If you don’t win, what have I done? I’ve wasted time. I want to make America great again, and you can’t do that if you come in a close second.”
Sen. Marco Rubio may be on the cusp of another polling upswing simply because reporters and establishment Republicans think his polls might go up, says a progressive columnist at the Washington Post.
Revenge is best served cold — and failed 2012 GOP presidential primary candidate Jon Huntsman today jabbed his former chief of staff, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, with a tweet in the back.
President Barack Obama’s allies are releasing roughly 6,000 criminals back into America’s streets by Nov. 2, supposedly to ease “overcrowding” and to offset harsh sentences, according to the Washington Post.
President Barack Obama has further reduced the annual deportations of migrants living illegally in the United States down to less than 1 percent of the migrant population.
Donald Trump is increasingly aiming his scorn at Sen. Marco Rubio, not his former target, Gov. Jeb Bush. “Never hire a boy to do a man’s job,” Trump declares in a tweet that shows a boyhood photo of Rubio.
In 1968, 3.7 million Americans were born, just three years after the 1965 update to the Immigration and Nationality Act. Almost five decades later, 3.5 million of their children turned 18, and entered 2013’s weak, post-recession job market. But that long-ago immigration law had been quietly, steadily, decade-by-decade, expanding the inflow of foreign workers. In 2013, it flooded the weak job market with an astounding tsunami of three million additional new workers. That’s a shocking 85 percent increase in the new labor supply. That’s six imported workers competing side-by-side with every seven children of the 1968 Americans. That’s almost one foreign worker for each one child of the ’68 generation.
Two new primary-race polls show Jeb Bush scraping the bottom at 4 percent and 10 percent, but they also show Donald Trump stuck at 25 percent and 32 percent.
“What I am recommending is that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) go to McCarthy and pledge to supply the requisite Democratic votes for him to become Speaker if he doesn’t have the required Republican votes,” says an op-ed published in TheHill.com, authored by D.C. political activist Mark Plotkin.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy is trying to patch discord caused by his Sept. 29 gaffe that has given Democrats a much-sought opportunity to declare the GOP’s investigation into Hillary Clinton is mere partisanship.
Cruz; GOP Donors ‘Despise’ GOP Base Voters
Barack Obama has a self-inflicted embarrassment coming his way in October — he’s slated to see the useless clock-in-box assembled by Ahmed Mohamed, the Irving, Texas, boy who was questioned when police suspected his bizarre device was a hoax-bomb.
Jeb Bush’s donors are getting scared and may jump ship if a $25 million advertising campaign in October doesn’t bump up his poll numbers, says a new Politico article.
President Barack Obama’s deputies are quietly hacking a gap through immigration regulations to import hundreds of thousands of university-trained foreign workers for jobs sought by American college grads.
