Ted Cruz Chooses Carly Fiorina

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Yesterday was a big day in the Ted Cruz camp. Cruz tapped Carly Fiorina as his Vice Presidential running mate. I believe it is a good, conservative choice. I have not always agreed with Carly, especially on past statements on Islam, but I like her. I’m willing to believe she has evolved on that issue. That’s one issue… Donald Trump evolves on every issue every 30 seconds, so I’m willing to give her room on this. Fiorina is a constitutional conservative and one of the brightest out there. No doubt that she would rip Clinton a new one. Both Carly and Ted are fighters… and we’re not done yet.

Cruz Fiorina

Carly was chosen as an attacker to go head to head with Hillary Clinton in November. She would clean the floor with the Hildabeast.

Per TheBlaze:

The combination of Cruz and Fiorina is enough to best Clinton in November, the official told TheBlaze — something they don’t believe businessman and front-runner Donald Trump will be able to do.

The timing of the announcement is highly unusual as no presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan in 1976 has named a running mate before officially earning their party’s nomination.

While perhaps a rare move, it sends a “clear signal now that Trump will not be the presumptive nominee,” the senior Cruz campaign official added. Cruz also wanted to be “transparent” with voters and let them see now what a Cruz administration is going to look like, according to the aide.

By adding Fiorina to his ticket this far in advance of the RNC, Cruz is also likely attempting to give delegates and party insiders a fuller picture of how the general election would play out if they chose him as the nominee.

And it won’t go unnoticed that Cruz has chosen a female vice presidential candidate to face Clinton.

Trump Jumps Into Bed With Putin

By: Cliff Kincaid | Accuracy in Media

Donald Trump

Donald J. Trump’s foreign policy address was delivered with the aid of a teleprompter and written by his pro-Russian advisers. He took no questions. It was a replay of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s disastrous Russian “reset” that led to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Yet, Trump pretends to be an opponent of Mrs. Clinton’s foreign policy.

We clearly saw the influence of Trump’s pro-Russian advisers in the speech. There was absolutely no recognition of the Russian threat to Europe, including its invasion and occupation of Ukraine.

Even our media couldn’t ignore this blatant omission. CNN international correspondent Frederick Pleitgen noted after the speech that Trump’s omission of Ukraine was great news for Russia, and that the Russians will be “almost ecstatic” over the speech. He said many people in Russia are “admirers” of Trump.

Of course, Trump admires Vladimir Putin, and vice versa. That is a matter of record. Trump didn’t disavow his previous pro-Putin comments.

Trump: America First, Foreign Policy Presentation

By: Denise Simon | FoundersCode.com

Trump

Good for Donald Trump, America should be first when it comes to policy and diplomacy. Applause to the Donald for that standard. Well said.

Tell us again how to pronounce Tanzania or San Bernardino.

What was not said however is disturbing for those who have a keen interest in foreign policy. Of particular note, the Ambassador of Russia was sitting on the front row. Perhaps this is but one reason, Trump never mentioned Russia or Vladimir Putin.

Welcome to the Triggering! Steven Crowder Spanks ‘Social Justice Warriors’ in 5-Minute Reality Check [VIDEO]

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Have I said lately how much I adore Steven Crowder? The guy rocks… and he did not disappoint at the University of Massachusetts. He had just gotten up on stage when some social justice warrior started flipping him off and hurling obscenities at him. That led to a five-minute rant that trout smacked the heck out these offended idiots.

Crowder just wanted to tell some jokes… he’s a comedian and he’s actually funny. But unfortunately for the moron who attacked him, he also has a wicked wit. He was appearing with Milo Yiannopoulos who was also on the receiving end of protesting feminists later on in the event. Also on stage was professor Christina Marie Hoff Sommers. The jokes went out the window when Crowder was interrupted and his rant was flaming spectacular! Talk about a reality check and a humdinger of a one at that.

Veterans Continue to Suffer Under Obama Administration’s Care

By: Roger Aronoff | Accuracy in Media

Vets

While the Veterans Administration scandal lingers over multiple years, the mainstream media continue to perpetuate the fiction of a “scandal-free” Obama administration. Reporters are loath to report anything that might reflect badly on President Obama’s reputation and legacy.

Excluding the Christian Science Monitor and USA Today, there has been a virtual mainstream media blackout regarding the Government Accountability Office’s (GAO) recent investigation of the VA—an investigation which shows that wait time manipulation continues to be a problem for those serving veterans.

“This report proves what we’ve long known: wait-time manipulation continues at VA and the department’s wait-time rhetoric doesn’t match up with the reality of veterans’ experiences,” said Congressman Jeff Miller (R-FL), the chairman of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs, on April 18, when a GAO study that concluded in March was made public.
