Rebecca Nelson: Ted Cruz To Announce Presidential Run
Liberty has a candidate. Ted Cruz was never one to wait. The
freshman Senator will reportedly become the first Republican on Monday
to officially announce his presidential candidacy, as he hopes to make
another audacious leap to prominence in a political career that has been
full of them. Cruz's has an event scheduled at Virginia's Liberty ... MOREAmericans Get It: Record Low Confidence In Government
by Emily Swanson. Is the sleeping giant waking up? Americans' confidence in all three branches of government is at or near record lows, according to a major survey that has measured attitudes on the subject for 40 years. The 2014 General Social Survey finds only 23 percent of Americans have a great deal of confidence in the Supreme ... MOREThomas Sowell: Giuliani Versus Obama
We all attempt to transform that which we love, right? The firestorm of denunciation of former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, for having said that he did not think Barack Obama loved America, is in one sense out of all proportion to that remark — especially at a time when there are much bigger issues, including wars raging, terrorist ... MOREIs Hillary The HealthCare.Gov Of Presidential Candiates?
by Peter Suderman. Coronation of the status quo. For a sense of how crowded and chaotic the
potential Republican presidential field is, it’s worth reading
Sean Trende’s RealClearPolitics analysis of the coming race,
“What If No One Wins the GOP Presidential Nomination?” Trende makes a compelling argument—complete with a simple but
smartly ... MORE
Rand Paul for President: Can Interesting Be Electable?
by Brian Doherty. Rand Paul announced today that he’s definitely running for re-election to his Kentucky Senate seat. While he has not made it official, he’s also by all available evidence running for his party’s presidential nomination (even though under Kentucky law he can’t appear on the same ballot in that state for both offices). He’s doing ... MOREMcConnell Will Back Rand Paul For President
by Alex Pappas. Soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he will back
fellow Kentuckian Rand Paul for president if the libertarian-leaning
Republican decides to run. “I’m a big supporter of Rand Paul,” McConnell told the Lexington Herald-Leader. “We’ve developed a very tight relationship, and I’m for him.”Pressed by the ... MOREMichael Zennie: Hillary Mocked By Rand Paul After Almost Every Democrat She Campaigned With LOST In Midterms
Hillary's inconvenient truth. Tuesday night's victory for the Republicans wasn't just a blow to President Barack Obama - it was also a knock on Hillary Clinton, who campaigned for almost all of the candidates who lost Democratic US Senate seats on Tuesday. And Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, a likely challenger to Clinton in the 2016 presidential ... MORERand Paul: Conservative Realist?
by Matt Welch. On Oct.
23, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) gave a
major address in front of the Center
for National Interest, a "realist" foreign policy think tank
founded by Richard Nixon. As he did in a similar
February 2013 speech in front of the conservative Heritage
Foundation, the libertarian-leaning presumptive 2016 GOP
presidential ... MORE
Special Report: America's Perpetual State Of Emergency
by Gregory Korte. The United States is in a perpetual state of national emergency. Thirty separate emergencies, in fact. An emergency declared by President Jimmy Carter on the 10th day of the Iranian hostage crisis in 1979 remains in effect almost 35 years later. A post-9/11 state of national emergency declared by President George W. Bush — and ... MOREFlashback: When Presidents Respected the Constitution
by Jeffrey Folks. “I want the people of America to be able to work less for the government and more for themselves. I want them to have the rewards of their own industry. That is the chief meaning of freedom.” Those words are taken from Calvin Coolidge’s Inaugural Address of March 4, 1925. Even then, conservatives like Coolidge were battling ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Clapper Under The Bus
The buck stops there. When President Obama attributed the rise in Iraq of the Islamic State, or ISIS, to the failures of the U.S. intelligence community earlier this week, naming and blaming directly National Intelligence Director Gen. James Clapper, he was attempting to deflect criticism of his own incompetence. He was discussing the fact ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: More Unlawful Presidential Killing
Something is amiss here. As the debate rages over whether the president needs congressional authorization for war prior to his deployment of the military to degrade or destroy ISIS, the terrorist organization that none of us had heard about until a few months ago, the nation has lost sight of the more fundamental issue of President ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Waging War
The War Powers Resolution is a two-edged sword. James Madison is commonly referred to as the Father of the Constitution in large measure because, in the secrecy of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, he kept the most complete set of notes. He also had a very keen mind and a modest demeanor and an uncanny ... MORERand Paul Would Repeal Every Obama Executive Order
He just needs to get elected. In front of a boisterous pub crowd of young voters here, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) ripped into President Obama over executive overreach and even vowed to repeal “all previous executive orders” in one of his first acts as president, should he run. Paul’s comments came to the New Hampshire chapter of ... MORERand Paul Would Seek "To Destroy ISIS Militarily"
by Jacob Sullum. On Friday, as Robby Soave noted this afternoon, Rand Paul told the Associated Press that if he were president, he "would lay out the reasoning of why ISIS is a threat to our national security and seek congressional authorization to destroy ISIS militarily." But at a Q&A session in Dallas earlier that same day, the Kentucky senator ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Irresponsible Choices
So now we want the first woman president? The latest Gallup poll indicates that 14 percent of the people "moderately disapprove" of Barack Obama's performance as president and 39 percent "strongly disapprove." Since Obama won two presidential elections, chances are that some of those who now "strongly disapprove" of what he ... MORE
