| 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. |
| Christie & Fiorina Out, What Do You Think?, Officer Down, Supremes Stop Obama Overreach |
Christie & Fiorina Out The winnowing process continues. The Republican primary race that began with more than a dozen credible candidates is now down to just a handful of serious contenders. Yesterday, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suspended his campaign. Christie's no nonsense style was an appealing quality, but the blunt spoken former prosecutor got trumped by Donald Trump. Christie bet it all on a strong showing in New Hampshire and he came up short. |
| Primary Results: Republicans, Primary Results: Democrats, Looking Ahead |
Primary Results: Republicans Here are the results of the New Hampshire primary: Donald Trump 35% With few exceptions, the results essentially mirrored the polls. Trump has consistently led the New Hampshire polls since July. Recent polls indicating a surge for Ohio Governor John Kasich were spot on. Here's my analysis: |
| Obama's Budget: Blueprint For Bankruptcy, Obama's Modern Military, Beyonce's Black Panther Tribute |
Obama's Budget: Blueprint For Bankruptcy President Obama submitted his final budget to Congress today. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Obama declared, "The budget that we are releasing today reflects my priorities." That's certainly a true statement. It is a jaw-dropping $4.1 trillion manifesto of higher taxes, more spending and bigger government. It is a blueprint for national bankruptcy. Just consider this analysis from the Associated Press: |
| NARAL vs. Doritos?, Gaga's Greatest Hit, GOP Fireworks |
NARAL vs. Doritos? The radical pro-abortion group NARAL is, once again, doing its best to prove that the left denies the basic science of biology. Doritos aired an amusing Super Bowl ad showing a husband eating the famous nacho chips during his wife's ultrasound. Frustrated with her husband's inattentiveness, she has the expected reaction. But when her husband starts waving a chip around, the baby in utero starts following it. She wants one! Watch the ad here. |
