The New York Times editorial board is becoming more unhinged with every passing day. Maybe it’s Republican electoral success, maybe it’s the sight of one failed liberal policy after another, but something is driving the Times around the bend.
Persisting in a war with those who don’t pledge allegiance to the five-term U.S. Senator, John McCain and his loyalists are stomping on efforts to return the Arizona primary election to a pure party primary election.

Lois Capps, 77, announced on Wednesday that she will be retiring her congressional post, leaving the competitive 24th congressional district seat open for the first time in almost two decades. Capps, who is from Santa Barbara, was first elected as the representative for the 24th district in 1998.
The voter registration error is a bizarre one. Had the New York Times not uncovered it, it wouldn’t have helped or harmed his presidential hopes. Unlike Elizabeth Warren’s use of Native American identity on job applications, there appears to be no visible benefit to the eldest Bush son save his own amusement (and that of his family, apparently). This usurpation has been going on for years.
Despite media uproar over the issue, Arkansas’s Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson has signed into law his own state’s version of the religious liberty bill that is bringing Indiana so much criticism.
The average age of the Democrats’ 2016 bench is an eye-popping 67. If you’re a liberal, let that number sink in for a while as you start to panic about how thin your party’s bench is for 2020 and beyond.
Sen. Marco Rubio discusses the 2016 presidential field. “I think there’s going to be a number of other people over the next few weeks get in, and as Republicans I think we’re blessed to have such a large number of quality talented people who are willing to compete for the highest office in the land, and from that competition I think we’re going to have a great nominee.”
President Obama strongly criticized Senate Republicans for holding his Attorney General nominee “hostage” while waiting for Democrats to stop filibustering important human trafficking prevention legislation.
Eric Holder jokes that Senate Republicans seem to want him to stay on as attorney general. “Given the Senate’s scheduling and delays in scheduling Loretta Lynch’s nomination for a vote, it’s almost as if the Republicans in Congress have discovered a new fondness for me,” he tells a progressive group.
Sen. Tom Cotton was working to build support for his now-controversial letter to Iranian leaders when he ran into an unexpected obstacle: Mother Nature.
Republican senators just sent a simple letter to Iran, correctly explaining how the American system of government works. That’s useful, because it’s very important to let the Iranians know there are limits to what this president can give away.
In a somewhat contentious interview dealing with the current Homeland Security funding debate with Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), CNN’s Dana Bash didn’t have much patience with arguments involving the U.S. Constitution.

Donald Trump is in it to win it, at least according to nationally syndicated Iowa-based conservative radio host Steve Deace.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough, writing in Politico, warns that reports of the death of Chris Christie’s potential 2016 presidential run have been much exaggerated.
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal joined about 900 Californians Saturday at the Unite IE Conference in Riverside’s Fox Theater with a strong, unapologetic and presidential speech that focused on “the importance of repealing all of Obamacare,” repealing “all of Common Core,” and winning “the war against radical Islamic terror.”
With his budget proposal going nowhere in Congress and his executive amnesty blocked by a federal judge, President Obama stopped by the Democratic National Committee on Friday to bash Republicans.
Florida Congressman Ron DeSantis (R) is said to have quit the House Republican whip team because House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) has politicized the procedural vote process and has threatened to kick out those members who did not conform to the wishes and demands of House leadership, this according to a source very close to whip team itself.
With President Obama signing his executive amnesty orders late last year, and the U.S. Congress still trying to hammer out some kind of compromise legislation on immigration reform, could the issue of immigration be the one issue that defines the 2016 presidential election?
From Bloomberg Politics: Jeb Bush has major problems in Iowa. His vocal support for immigration reform and the national education standards known as Common Core bother many in the state’s Republican base. A Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll of

American Conservative Union Foundation Co-chair and former candidate for U.S. Senate Carly Fiorina sat down with Breitbart’s own Steven K. Bannon and Alex Marlow for a special edition of ‘Breitbart News Sunday’ at the weekend Iowa Freedom Summit.
The New York Times frames Univision news anchor Jorge Ramos as the “Walter Cronkite” of America’s immigration debate, and establishment Republicans are bending over backwards to keep him happy.
President Obama is still complaining about Republicans obstructing legislative action in Washington, even though they now control both houses of Congress. But the president appears to be the one who’s comfortable saying “no” so far, at least when it comes to blocking Republican initiatives from Congress.
Wednesday at Boise State University, President Barack Obama said, “Watching last night, some of you might have noticed Republicans were not applauding for many of these ideas. They were kinda quiet. But when it comes to issues like infrastructure and
Another State of the Union speech; another empty pageant of “signals” sent by selecting special guests; another chance for President Obama’s party to create a brief illusion of popularity by furiously applauding pronouncements that will be forgotten within days; and another wish list of billion-dollar spending proposals designed to make the opposition party look bad by blocking them. None of it has anything to do with responsible government, and only the political class will pay much attention.
After a month of spirited dissent and calls for justice from the Cuban-American community in light of President Obama’s capitulations to the Castro regime in December, the Republican Party is answering by hosting some of the most prominent members of the Cuban dissident community at tonight’s State of the Union Address.
It’s not exactly a shocking revelation that liberals are interested in supporting Republicans who want to drag their party to the Left, especially after a historic midterm election where liberalism got its posterior kicked sideways. Give the Left credit for springing into action after just a few days of freaking out at the stupid voters, and writing tear-soaked screeds about how we probably shouldn’t have stupid midterm elections anyway, or maybe we shouldn’t even have Congress–at least not when a liberal Democrat is president. After screaming into their op-ed paper bags for a brief interval, they set about undermining the Republican wave by seeking to convince the winners that they should behave like losers. There are plenty of receptive ears in the Republican power elite for that message.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair wowed the audience at a joint House-Senate Republican retreat with a speech on how the West must combat the threat of Islamic Extremism. Mr Blair told lawmakers that America should look to lead on

By some reports, Democrats may attempt to use the terror attacks in Paris to try and stop the Republicans from using budget negotiations for the Department of Homeland Security as a means to put a crimp in the President’s amnesty plans.
House Republicans claim that next week they’ll vote on a plan to block some parts of President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, but the president has insisted that he will veto any bills that make it to his desk that might curtail his amnesty plans.
A record percentage of Americans (42%) identified as political independents in 2013, according to Gallup. The percentage is “the highest Gallup has measured since it began conducting interviews by telephone 25 years ago,” and it has “come more at the
In the just-completed 2024 presidential election, the Republican Party has won the White House for a third consecutive time—only the third instance in a century that the GOP has managed this feat. So it’s worth pausing over the origins and
Wednesday on the “The Tom Joyner Morning Show,” Al Sharpton talked about the Republican takeover of the U.S. Congress. Sharpton said, “This is the largest majority Republicans have had since the 1920s, and what will happen, and how we deal
