Hillary Clinton’s campaign team reportedly used a static noise machine on Thursday to block reporters outside of a fundraiser in Denver from hearing her remarks. That’s according to Stan Bush, a reporter for Denver’s CBS-4, who was stationed outside of the event, which was held outdoors at the home of Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a superdelegate who has endorsed Clinton. Bush said that the noise interference machine was turned on after a band — later identified as Big Head Todd and the Monsters — finished playing music and before Clinton spoke. The device was placed inside of a fence on the property and aimed in the direction of the press, Bush wrote. He posted ...

One of the recurring concerns involving Europe's seemingly perpetual economic, financial and social crises, is that these have been largely predetermined, "scripted" and deliberate acts. This is something the former head of the Bank of England admitted one month ago when Mervyn King said that Europe's economic depression "is the result of "deliberate" policy choices made by EU elites. It is also what AIG Banque strategist Bernard Connolly said back in 2008 when laying out "What Europe Wants" environmental issues: increase control over member countries; advance idea of global governanceterrorism: use excuse for greater control over police ...

“You are not the people, you are the past,” was the message to German critics of mass immigration on Germany’s public broadcaster ZDF’s NEO MAGAZIN ROYALE television programme. The message was delivered in a video featuring a multi-ethnic crowd of disabled, gay and transgender people, as well as a Muslim woman wearing a face veil and a man wearing traditional Saudi headgear, all telling a crowd of Germans that they are “not Germany”. The video opens with a crowd of angry-looking white Germans hitting against the windows of a bus to intimidate a frightened Arab child and his father, a policeman dragging the child out and hurling him to the ground. Led by the ...

"The individual questioned, a French national, is suspected of high-level involvement in this plan. He was part of a terrorist network that planned to strike France," Cazeneuve said. Following the arrest by the French counterterrorism service, DGSI, the agency ...

If you think politics area circus, here is another indication Australia Senate passes reforms after farcical all-nighter 1 hour ago Nick XenophonImage caption Australian independent Senator Nick Xenophon entered the Senate in his pyjamas, but was told to change Monty Python references, a colonoscopy analogy and a pyjama-clad senator featured during an all-night sitting of Australia's upper house. The Senate has finally passed changes to how its members are elected after 28 hours of debate. The changes will disadvantage so-called micro parties that have gained increasing power in the Senate. The ruling conservative Coalition formed an unlikely partnership with the Greens party ...

The Most Consequential Elections in History: Ronald Reagan and the Election of 1980 Reagan gave conservatism a pleasant face and an appealing voice. By Kenneth T. Walsh The stakes in this year's presidential campaign are high. But that's nothing new. There have been many other pivotal presidential elections in our history, some that set an entirely new course for the United States and a few that were crucial to the very survival of the republic. To put the current campaign in perspective, U.S. News's White House Correspondent Kenneth T.

Teenage Ted Cruz Says He Wants 'World Domination' in Weird Video

Long before his presidential run, a young Ted Cruz sought access to money, power and “world domination.” In video footage shot of teenage Cruz posted to YouTube, the future Texas senator was asked about his life goals. “Aspirations? Is that like sweat on my butt?” cracked Cruz, smirking at his own bad joke in the 1988 video. “No no, oh I see, what you want me to do, what I want to do in life. Well my aspiration is to, uh, oh I don’t know, be in a teen t-t film — like that guy who played Horatio. You know he was in `Malibu Bikini Beach Shop,’” he said, referring to the campy 1986 flick, actually titled “The Malibu Bikini Shop.” He ...

Break out the tequila. As it becomes increasingly likely that Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee, some party leaders are throwing up their hands. "The one argument for libertarians to vote Republican that still remains is the Supreme Court. Other than that, I really can’t see very much endearing for a libertarian in these Republican candidates," said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky) at the International Students for Liberty Conference. Click below to watch that interview: Reason also spoke with Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) who despite reservations is supporting Ted Cruz because he is a "person I can work with and he’s a person I can persuade." Amash also ...

BREAKING news: Australia is building a fence on the border of Slovenia. At least, according to cable news channel CNN. The latest in a series of hilarious fails by the US TV station proves what we already knew — Americans just aren’t very good at world geography. The 24-hour news channel is being relentlessly mocked on social media after confusing Australia with Austria in a news report. Either that, or whoever is in charge of the captioning at CNN probably needs a bit of a refresher. US writer Matthew Yglesia picked up on the unfortunate blunder and kickstarted even more jokes with this tweet: Oh look it's just part of our foriegn aid to undeveloped nations I wonder ...

EXCLUSIVE– Pat Buchanan: Donald Trump’s Rise Is Rejection of a Quarter Century of Bush Republicanism

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Pat Buchanan declared that Trump’s rise represents a rejection of 25 years of Bush Republicanism— an ideology which Buchanan says has destroyed America’s once-great manufacturing core, flooded the country with low-skilled workers, and drained the treasury with ill-advised foreign adventures in the Middle East. “In the GOP nomination race, the chickens of a quarter century of Bush Republicanism have come home to roost,” Buchanan told Breitbart. “Trump’s triumphs to date are due to his recognition of, and identification with, the Middle American revolt against Bush family ideology and policy, and what it has ...

Ford Motor Company confirmed to the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) that it is cutting ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), an organization that has drawn heavy criticism for promoting climate change denial and for opposing the development of renewable energy sources. "As part of our annual budget review, we have adjusted our participation in several groups. We will not be participating in ALEC in 2016," wrote Christin Baker, a Ford spokesperson in an email to CMD.

Why A Former Treasury Secretary Wants To Kill The $100 Bill

The $100 bill may look like an ordinary banknote to you and me, but to one former treasury secretary, it is a root of evil in our society. Larry Summers, former secretary of the treasury department under the Clinton administration and economic adviser to President Barack Obama, is pushing for the government to get rid of the $100 bill because it is only being used as a tool for corruption. In an article he wrote for the Washington Post, Summers says that criminal and terrorist organizations are using paper currencies with large denominations, such as the $100 bill and the €500 bill, to illicitly move their money around. This assertion was based on the findings of a ...

Capitalism has generated massive wealth for some, but it’s devastated the planet and has failed to improve human well-being at scale. • Species are going extinct at a rate 1,000 times faster than that of the natural rate over the previous 65 million years (see Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School). • Since 2000, 6 million hectares of primary forest have been lost each year. That’s 14,826,322 acres, or just less than the entire state of West Virginia (see the 2010 assessment by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the UN). • Even in the U.S., 15% of the population lives below the poverty line.

The religious right is being left behind

The religious right, once a major power in American politics, is entering an uncomfortable dotage. Although numerous and well-organized enough to push Ted Cruz over the top in Iowa, the social conservative base, two-thirds of them born-again Christians, was of little use in New Hampshire, one of the most secular states in the Union. In the Granite State, Cruz did best among evangelicals but still slightly trailed Donald Trump among this one-quarter of New Hampshire Republicans. More importantly, Cruz’s religious strategy might not be enough to allow the Texan to vault past his main rivals, even in the “Bible Belt” states like South Carolina, where Real Clear Politics polls ...

Top officials of countries involved in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) are convening in New Zealand today to sign the final agreement. But really this ceremony is just a formality. We knew since November, from the day they announced a completed deal and made the text public shortly thereafter, that they would do this. These officials have not been accountable to the public. They have remained steadfast in excluding public participation and ignoring all calls for transparency over the more than five years of TPP negotiations. Because of this opaque process, trade negotiators were able to fill the agreement with Hollywood and Big Tech's wish lists of regulatory policies without having ...

The Drake Law Firm reportedly filed a federal lawsuit alleging that Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz, by virtue of his Canadian birth to a mother who is a U.S. citizen, is not a “natural born” U.S. citizen and is, therefore, not legally qualified to run for the presidency. The local GOP isn’t choosing sides on whether U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is qualified to seek his party’s presidential nomination — at least, not right now. Why’s that important? Because, according to a ...

Chinese companies have been acquiring foreign companies at an unprecedented rate, and we're likely to see a lot more of it this year. So far in 2016, General Electric has sold its appliances business to Qingdao-based Haier. China's Zoomlion made an unsolicited bid for heavy lifting equipment maker Terex Corporation, and property and investment firm Dalian Wanda announced a deal to buy a majority stake in Hollywood's Legendary Entertainment. On Friday, a Chinese-led investor group announced it would buy the Chicago Stock Exchange.

Ted Cruz Wins Iowa: What It Means

A Ted Cruz victory in Iowa was not surprising. Not at all. Typically, the Republican presidential candidate that can "Out Christian" the rest of the field wins in Iowa. And Cruz is the best at doing that since G.W. Bush that I’ve seen. But unlike Bush, Cruz will NOT be the Republican nominee. Count on it. And I, for one, am glad he won’t be. The Cruz victory has got to be seen as a slap in the face for Liberty University’s Jerry Falwell, Jr., who personally campaigned in Iowa for Donald Trump. As much as I like Jerry, Jr., he is not his dad and will never be able to galvanize Christian conservatives like Jerry, Sr., did. The once powerful Religious Right passed with ...
