| Debate Recap, Disney Dumps American Workers, Bathroom Battles |
Debate Recap The gloves came off at last night's Republican debate in Houston, Texas. Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio were eager to knock Donald Trump off his perch as the GOP frontrunner. While I am glad they had a spirited debate, I really don't think it helps when everyone talks at the same time. Here's how the Associated Press described the debate: |

Debate Night The remaining Republican candidates will take the stage tonight in Houston, Texas. Tonight's debate will be hosted by CNN and begins at 8:30 p.m. ET.

| No Hearings, Trump Runs The Table In Nevada, Obama Letting Illegals Vote |
No Hearings We reported yesterday that Senator Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was holding firm in his opposition to hearings for any Obama nominee to the Supreme Court. In fact, Grassley invoked the so-called "Biden Rule." (In 1992 then-Judiciary Committee chairman Senator Joe Biden warned President George H.W. Bush against making any nominations to the Supreme Court in the election year.) |
| Obama Presses Radical Agenda, Biden's Rules |
Obama Presses Radical Agenda Oh, if only we had a president who cared as much about veterans as he does about the comfort of enemy combatants. Speaking at a White House press conference this morning, President Obama announced that the Pentagon was submitting a formal plan to Congress to close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. |
| Results, Reflections On Money & Mood, Evangelicals & Trump, Scalia Laid To Rest |
Results: Nevada Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won the Nevada Democrat caucuses Saturday by a larger than expected margin of 53% to 47%. Two recent polls showed Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders were tied in Nevada, and the Sanders campaign desperately wanted to prove that New Hampshire wasn't an aberration. But it just wasn't in the cards. Reports suggest Clinton got a big boost from behind-the-scenes efforts orchestrated by Senator Harry Reid, who got a number of unions off the sidelines at the last minute. |
| Pope Francis -- Please Call Your Office!, Goodbye, Nino |
Goodbye, Nino The body of Justice Antonin Scalia was brought this morning to the Supreme Court, where it will lie in repose until his funeral tomorrow. My heart breaks for his wife, Maureen, their nine children and 36 grandchildren. It is difficult to imagine the Supreme Court without him. He was the court's conservative anchor for almost 30 years. |
| Supreme Chaos, Poll Position: The Democrats, Poll Position: The Republicans, Media Notice |
Supreme Chaos The death of Justice Antonin Scalia is creating chaos on Capitol Hill. Today's Washington Post reports, "Senate Republicans clashed Wednesday over how to battle President Obama's expected Supreme Court nomination." In addition, the White House is refusing to rule out a recess appointment. |
| Crushing The American Dream, Cook's Contempt, Left-wing Hate Crime |
Crushing The American Dream In all the huge headlines of recent days, an event took place in Indianapolis that went largely unnoticed here in Washington, D.C., and in many other places. But it was a big deal to the 2,100 men and women and their families who were directly affected. |
| A Supreme Battle, The Left's Spin, Your Vote |
A Supreme Battle Over the course of the past year, whenever people asked who would be the next president, I often said it was hard to answer that question because the election would be determined by headlines we haven't yet seen. We know, for example, that the headlines from the Paris and San Bernardino attacks significantly impacted the Republican presidential primary. The shocking death of Justice Antonin Scalia will change the presidential race yet again. It sets off what promises to be a brutal confrontation between Barack Obama and Senate Republicans. |
| Mystery In Columbus, Yes, Let's Talk About Abortion, Saturday Night's Debate, Your Vote |
Mystery In Columbus Police in Columbus, Ohio, need some help. Here's the situation: Yesterday a man walked into a restaurant named Nazareth, owned by an Israeli Christian. The man asked to speak to the owner, who wasn't there, so he left. About 30 minutes later, he came back, only this time he had a machete. He began attacking the customers, systematically working his way through the restaurant. |
