One of the lighter moments of Wednesday’s epic slog of a Republican presidential primary debate came when former Florida governor Jeb Bush joked that his mother, the former first lady, would not be happy that he admitted having smoked marijuana “40 years ago.” The line got a fair amount of laughs from the audience, but it also came amid a broader debate among the candidates over federal drug laws. Defending marijuana legalization, Sen. Rand Paul asserted that “kids who had privilege like [Bush]” are often given a pass when it comes to admitting past drug use, whereas people from poorer backgrounds — often minorities — are more likely to go to prison for ...

Poll: Fiorina Wins Debate, Trump Still Leads Reid Wilson Morning Consult September 18, 2015 Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carly Fiorina won Wednesday’s second Republican presidential debate, according to voters who watched the Simi Valley showdown polled by Morning Consult. It was a performance that vaulted Fiorina into the top tier of a crowded field. A plurality of 29 percent of registered voters who watched the debate said Fiorina won, just higher than the 24 percent who said real estate mogul Donald Trump came out on top. Seven percent said retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson won the debate, while 6 percent each chose former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). ...

Altered licenses concern Rowan deputy clerk Mike Wynn The Courier-Journal 5:06 p.m. EDT September 18, 2015 Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis may have interfered with a federal court order when she heavily modified marriage licenses to remove her name, an attorney for one of Davis' deputies warned in a filing Friday. Deputy Clerk Brian Mason began providing the forms to couples earlier this month while Davis remained in jail, and he has continued to give them out following her release. However, he is concerned that changes to the licenses have resulted in "substantial questions about validity," Richard Hughes, an attorney for Mason, wrote Friday. "I discussed with Mr. ...

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. -- Jeb Bush responded Friday night to Donald Trump's decision this week not to correct a questioner who said President Obama is a Muslim who is "not even an American." "Barack Obama is a talented man -- and by the way he's an American, he's a Christian -- his problem isn't the fact that he was born here or what his faith is," said Bush in a speech here. "His problem is that he's a progressive liberal who tears down anybody that disagrees with him." At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on Thursday, Trump did not correct an audience member who said that Obama is a Muslim and "not even an American." Asked ...

President Barack Obama is nominating longtime Pentagon official Eric Fanning to be the Army’s new secretary. If confirmed, Fanning would be the nation’s first openly gay leader of a military service. Obama says Fanning brings years of experience and leadership to the role. He says in a statement that he’s confident Fanning will lead U.S. soldiers with distinction. Fanning is currently the Army’s acting under secretary and has served as the Air Force’s acting secretary and chief of staff to the Defense secretary. The nomination comes as the Obama administration works to eliminate barriers to military service based on sexuality or gender. Fanning’s nomination ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Cries of racism broke out across the campus of the University of Buffalo this week when students found Jim Crow-esque signs in a building on campus. Someone had posted “White Only” and “Black Only” signs near several bathrooms and water fountains in Clemens Hall. “It brought up feelings of the past of a past that our generation has never seen which I think is why it was so shocking for us to see,” Micah Oliver, president for the Black Student Union, tells ABC 27. More than 100 students turned out to a Black Student Union meeting to discuss the signs. “There was fear expressed, anger, disappointment – all of that,” ...

Kids of all colors are at risk while paranoia reigns supreme in public schools.YoutubeIrving, Texas, ninth-grader Ahmed Muhamed brought a harmless, homemade clock to school to impress his engineering teacher. But he made more of an impression on the police officers who slapped him in handcuffs, hauled him to the station, and accused him of perpetrating a bomb hoax. As evidenced by Twitter—#IStandWithAhmed—everybody is on Ahmed’s side (with the possible exception of his school’s officials, who sent a letter home to parents alerting them to the non-incident). Even President Obama tweeted, “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more ...
Mark Zuckerberg’s Attack ad Against Trump: “The Parable of Pete Wilson”

Here’s a new ad from Facebook mogul Mark Zuckerberg’s Cheap Labor lobby FWD.us, “The Parable of Pete Wilson” about how supporting Proposition 187 in 1994 doomed the Republican Party in California. I realize that back in 1994, Mr. Zuckerberg was probably less interested in election data than in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, but there’s this thing called the Internet and you can use it to look up old numbers to see if somebody is trying to pull your leg. He should try it. I’ve gone over this a million times over the years, but this media myth is just a retconning of history. The GOP won California in 9 out of 10 Presidential elections from 1952-1988, ...

A sicko was convicted Wednesday for holding his ex-girlfriend hostage in Brooklyn for three days as he repeatedly sexual abused and beat the woman in front of her 2-year-old daughter. Alex Anselmo was found guilty in Brooklyn Supreme Court on a laundry list of charges for breaking into his former flame’s Bedford-Stuyvesant apartment on April 1, 2013, handcuffed her to the bed and violated her up to four times a day. “I was very scared and did not want him to do anything worse to me and my daughter...I did what he said,” said the woman who testified at trial. During the 72 hours of hell, Anselmo refused to let the child leave the room or give her "adequate food," ...
Going After The Donor Class–Trump Coalition May Be What the GOP Needs To Survive

One can’t help but wonder if someone at the Trump campaign is reading VDARE.com. Not just on immigration, because while we may be the best, a number of people are sounding the alarm on that most critical issue. But Trump is going beyond that and echoing, well, me on the need to build a new political coalition that can deliver victory to the Republican Party. At the heart of this is economic populism. Trump said he’ll be rolling out his tax plan in a few weeks. But The Donald isn’t leaving much up to guesswork. Hedge fund managers should worry, but corporations would get tax breaks if Donald Trump gets his way. Their chief executives, though, might need to sweat — ...

Aboard the USS Iowa in Southern California, 2016 GOP frontrunner billionaire Donald Trump told Breitbart News that his replacement for Obamacare—what he dubbed “DonaldCare” on Monday evening in Dallas—is going to be “absolutely great.” “We’re not going to have the false lines,” Trump said as he grabbed this reporter’s shirt to—completely unsolicited—sign his name on this reporter’s shoulder with the black sharpie he was carrying around. “We’re going to have privatization,” Trump continued. “It’s going to end up being absolutely great.” When asked if his plan is the cure for Obamacare, Trump said ...

Ahmed Mohamed — who makes his own radios and repairs his own go-kart — hoped to impress his teachers when he brought a homemade clock to MacArthur High on Monday.Instead, the school phoned police about Ahmed’s circuit-stuffed pencil case.So the 14-year-old missed the student council meeting and took a trip in handcuffs to juvenile detention. His clock now sits in an evidence room. Police say they may yet charge him with making a hoax bomb — though they acknowledge he told everyone who would listen that it’s a clock.In the meantime, Ahmed’s been suspended, his father is upset and the Council on American-Islamic Relations is once again eyeing claims of ...

He still thinks that Mitt Romney won. He’s still going around saying, I think he won. This guy—think of this—he ought to be on Wall Street. He raises money pretty well. The last cycle, the last presidential election, he raised $434 million and didn’t win one race. Can you believe that? Can you ...
A Few Words From a Real, Live C*cksucking Fag

It's true: I am a cocksucking fag. In case you're unfamiliar with the phrase, it means I'm a man who finds pleasure in orally stimulating other men's penises. Recently several (presumably) non-cocksucking straight men have had a lot to say about these terms and whether or not they've ever used them, whether or not they should ever use them and whether or not those terms are (or should be) considered offensive by real, live cocksucking fags like me. Seeing as I have some practical (humility keeps me from going so far as to say "impressive") experience here, I'd like to clear up a few things for those men and anyone else who might be confused by these terms ...

Active duty soldiers from Fort Bliss in Texas posed for this photo breastfeeding their children.There were no lactation rooms or dedicated spaces for breastfeeding mothers when Tara Ruby was on active duty in the Air Force from 1997 to 2001. After her first son was born, Ruby remembers ducking into empty offices and bathrooms -- anywhere she could find privacy for 20 to 30 minutes at a time to pump. That's why she was thrilled to learn about a new nursing room in the headquarters of Fort Bliss, the Army post in El Paso, Texas. It has comfortable chairs, a refrigerator for storing milk and a sink -- small things that make a big difference when you need to expel breast milk every few ...

College Students Totally Clueless About Why US Attacked on 9/11 (Paultards?)

Those who were old enough to remember Sept. 11 vow to never forget what happened that day. But the next generation, it seems, already has-- or never knew to begin with. When asked by the Young America’s Foundation what caused 9/11, many students at George Mason University in northern Virginia had no clue, gave vague responses, or were just flat out wrong. When you take this level of ignorance combined with the fact that at many colleges across the country students are now being taught that the US is to blame for 9/11, the next generation may actually grow up believing this to be true. And this in turn will lead to a whole new generation of anti-American leftists. The blame for this, ...
