Exclusive: Marco Rubio’s Plan For Online War Against The Islamic State

The biggest component, Rubio explained, was to puncture the notion that somehow joining the fight under the Islamic State was glamorous – when the reality proved that it was miserable, especially for foreign fighters. “They often treat you like cannon fodder, they give you the worst assignments, you’re the first ones they throw into battle and the first ones killed,” he said, describing life in the caliphate cities as “hell on earth” without the basic public services.

Fox News analyst and one of the country’s top pollsters, Pat Caddell, says there is “no doubt” that government has lost the consent of the governed in America today, pointing out that 90 percent of the people say Washington “doesn’t work for the people,” but now works for its own interests instead.

Jeb Bush’s Strategy Is Working Great… For Ted Cruz

Baltimore Braces for Unrest as Freddie Gray Case Goes to Jury

BALTIMORE (AP) — Prosecutors say it would have taken just two clicks for Officer William Porter to save Freddie Gray’s life: one click to buckle him into the back of a transport van and another click of his police radio to call for medical help.

Rove-Stupid: Establishment Maximizes Obama Damage While Miminizing Obama Blame

There has been no group of people more responsible for Barack Obama’s breath taking damage to the country – nor his total lack of being held account for that damage- than the Republican establishment. Oh sure, the Jurassic media and Big Hollywood and Big Education and Big Wall Street have all played their roles, but the main enabler is the GOP-e. Make no mistake about that.

Liar-In-Chief: ObamaCare Is the Biggest Rip-Off In History

Before ObamaCare came along, I was paying $170 a month for a single-person catastrophic health care plan. My deductible was $10,000 a year. At the time, I was healthy, around 40 years-old, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink, didn’t use illegal drugs,
