At a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, Ted Cruz subjected him to a withering cross examination.

Another IRS agent, Jeremiah Beaty, is facing charges in Tennessee. This time the accusation is child porn. Breitbart News has confirmed that Beaty was arrested on child porn charges in August.

Thomas Kidd, professor of history at Baylor University and co-author of Baptists in America: A History, tells Breitbart News, “Southern Baptists’ giving to missions has simply not kept up with the aspirations of the IMB [International Missions Board].”

“The Art of the Deal saved my life,” a man in the crowd yelled to Donald Trump as he walked out of the Rocketown facility in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday after he delivered a 50 minute speech there to the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. “I want 10%,” Trump responded.

The EPA is out with an internal review into its own actions that created the August 5 Gold King mine blowout in Silverton, Colorado that spilled 3 million gallons of toxic waste into the Animas River.

Dave Taylor, the retired geologist who predicted the EPA project that caused the massive 3 million toxic spill in Colorado on August 5 would fail, says the EPA employees caused the spill should be fired as soon as possible. “But of course, that probably won’t happen. Where is Donald Trump when you need him?” Taylor asked rhetorically.
The enthusiastic crowd heard Ted Cruz passionately defend the rights of Christian business owners. “We’re just one justice away,” Cruz said, from losing our religious liberties. “Never have the threats been greater to religious liberty than they are right here and now today,” Cruz added, noting that “these threats are not imagined, they’re not made up.”
While Rafael Cruz’s outreach to the evangelical community may not be a “secret weapon,” his solid reputation and enthusiastic support for his son’s presidential campaign is a significant asset that none of the other GOP presidential contenders can match, especially here in Iowa where evangelical voters are so important in the GOP caucuses.
