QOTD: "In the process of granting review of the decision, by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, invalidating the Obama administration’s immigration guidance granting de facto (albeit revocable) legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented residents of the United States, the Supreme Court unleashed a bombshell. Without any explicit request from the parties, the court added the following question for review: “Whether the Guidance violates the Take Care Clause of the Constitution, Art. II, §3.”

This is a stunning development. The clause states that “[The President] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” This is the first time, to my knowledge, that the Supreme Court, maybe any court, has suggested that the Take Care Clause is justiciable (i.e., that the president’s (in)actions are subject to judicial review under the clause). I’m not sure that any Supreme Court litigant has ever even seriously pursued an argument under the clause." --David Bernstein

An open letter to Fareed Zakaria from The People's Cube

By The People's Cube

Fareed Zakaria can dish it out but can't take it

CNN host Fareed Zakaria is now calling to censor social media because he was offended by The People's Cube satire about his writings. Without mentioning that our satire was a hyperbolic buildup on his own recent writings, Zakaria cries for government protection of his hurt feelings, making it clear that he can dish it out but can't take it. Taste your own medicine, Fareed.

WHERE IS THE INDICTMENT???

By Karl Denninger

If anyone else had done any of what Hillary has done, they'd already be in the dock and probably already have had their trial.  They certainly wouldn't be running for President.

Fox News exclusively obtained the text of the unclassified letter, sent Jan. 14 from Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. It laid out the findings of a recent comprehensive review by intelligence agencies that identified "several dozen" additional classified emails -- including specific intelligence known as "special access programs" (SAP).

That is far more-serious than "garden-variety" classified data.

QOTD: "I would prefer Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to Donald Trump. I want a conservative President and, should Trump genuinely be converted to the principles of Hayek, Friedman, Kirk, etc., I think he needs time in the trenches of the movement to show his conversion sticks.

But I would gladly vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat. He has bested the consultant class at its own game for now and the only one giving him a run for his money is Ted Cruz who, like Trump, has refused to use the D.C. political class to advance in the field.

Whether Trump makes it out of Iowa the winner or not, Republicans will owe Trump thanks for exposing their fault lines and flaws and showing just how inept, corrupt, and out to lunch the Washington Republican consultant class has become." --Erick Erickson

NEW HILLARY EMAILS CONFIRM: Democrats to Nominate First Openly Socialist Presidential Candidate

About two weeks ago, I wrote that we should "Stick a fork in Hillary, because she's done."

In that particular case, emails revealed that then-Secretary of State Clinton had instructed aides to strip classification headers from secure documents and send them over insecure channels. Which, by my count, was felony #336 committed by Ms. Clinton and her aides, who conspired to co-mingle State Department, Clinton Foundation transactions, and related criminal activity using a private email server that operated outside public scrutiny.

Today's news really does mean the demise of Clinton's campaign. The intelligence community's inspector general reported to Congress that he "had discovered “several dozen” classified emails, including messages containing what’s known as 'special access programs' (SAP) information":

FLASHBACK AUGUST 2015: "Sarah Palin Endorses Donald Trump After He Promises To Give Her Power, Relevancy"

Today's report that Sarah Palin has endorsed Donald Trump appears to be somewhat dated.

On August 14th of last year, Kit O'Connell reported that Palin had endorsed Trump "[after he] recently promised to give ... Palin a Cabinet-level position in his administration."

HONEST DON: "Trump Lies About 2000 Call for Assault Weapons Ban" --Robert Farago

The, eh, more passionate Trump supporters are alive and well and living in the comments section of this blog, buzzing with conspiracy theories and stories of Cruz's changes in policy positions. That's fine. As I've said countless times before, I would support Donald Trump in the general against a Democrat, because I'd support Dennis Rodman or Porky Pig against a Democrat.

With that said, any policy position Ted Cruz has ever altered pales in comparison with Mr. Trump's earlier support of assault weapons bans, extended waiting periods to purchase firearms, partial-birth abortions, and gay marriage. Trump's acolytes insist that the year 2000 was a very long time ago. So let's ignore the fact that Trump endorsed an open Communist -- Bill DeBlasio -- for mayor of New York in 2013, stating that he's a "smart guy" who will be "a good mayor". No, let's skip that point for the moment.

Instead, let's reflect upon Mr. Trump's more recent willingness to openly lie to the firearms media about his past support for restrictions on the Second Amendment. As The Truth About Guns' Robert Farago noted a few months ago:

GRAVITAS: Can Mr. Trump’s Supporters Help Me Understand His 24-hour, 180˚ Turnabout Over the Weekend?

After months of complimenting his rival for the GOP nomination, Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump engaged in a weekend of diatribes, insults and name-calling that was truly and spectacularly bizarre:

If you are like most ordinary Americans, you probably spent the weekend watching the NFL playoffs, or spending time with your family, or trying to avoid the freezing cold that gripped most of the country. You know, anything other than watching the Democrats “debate” or the political nonsense on Twitter and the cable shows.

Which is regrettable, because people who were paying attention finally got to see what The Donald is like...

Is This the Most Terrifying Photo of 2015?

Aside from a terrific economy, the next president of the United States will inherit a delightful global security landscape.

Red China is building islands in the Pacific and threatening its neighbors. Russia annexed Crimea and portions of Ukraine after Hillary's infamous "Reset" stunningly failed to strike a chord with Vladimir Putin.

"SLAVE LABOR": Hillary Confidante Cheryl Mills Pushes Manufacturing in Ghana with its 23¢ Minimum Wage

By Richard Pollock

Cheryl D. Mills, long-time friend and confidant of Bill and Hillary Clinton, is promoting a 23 cents-an-hour wage in the West African nation of Ghana to lure textile and apparel industry companies to invest there even as the former secretary of state advocates a $15-an-hour “livable wage” here.

Mills’ newly formed firm, the BlackIvy Group, LLC., makes the pitch with a powerpoint presentation that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

In celebratory fashion, all are gripping champagne bottles and hundred-dollar bills; in front of them lies the corpse of a white judge, with two Xs drawn over his closed eyes. So why wouldn't the president’s advisors at least have advised him that such a gratuitous White House sanction might be incongruous with a visual message of racial hatred?" --Victor Davis Hanson

Return to Dachau

By Baron Bodissey

After seventy years, a camp has been opened again at Dachau.

But it’s not the kind of camp that was there in 1943. No, not at all.

Now the German staff wait on the Untermenschen who have been welcomed into Germany. They cater to their every need and never punish them, no matter the seriousness of the crime. Now the residents of the camp can spend their time watching TV, and may eat as many meals as they want. Now the guards at the camp are required to act as the servants of the “refugees”.

THE ULTIMATE BIRTHER BIBLE: Because Trump "is unable to engage Cruz on matters of actual substance"

Who are the Constitutional scholars and legal experts that assert, in no uncertain terms, that Ted Cruz (the son of an American citizen) is eligible to run for President?

I mean, besides the legal experts Donald Trump consulted months ago before the polls tightened and he changed his tune.

For starters:

CRUZ TAKES THE HIGH ROAD: Trump Booed in South Carolina After Caustic Insults of Texas Senator

By Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

Donald Trump had a literal meltdown on Twitter issuing a bizarre series of personal insults, screeds, and disjointed attacks on Ted Cruz. I guess the honeymoon is over. Too bad, they would have gone well together. Ted Cruz mocked him for it. His retort was epic:

AWESOME: After Obama Pays Nearly $2 Billion in Ransom to Iran, 3 More Americans Reportedly Kidnapped

Barack Obama will pay Iran $1.7 billion in a "settlement" that frees several of the many American hostages Iran is illegally holding.

Obama's statement suggests that the settlement, most of which is interest, is tied to the latest hostage release... "With the nuclear deal done, prisoners released, the time was right to resolve this dispute as well." It sounds a lot like the hostage releases were linked to the amount of money Obama is giving Iran. Which wouldn't be surprising.

This is on top of all the other sanctions relief Iran will be getting.

QOTD: "[The tussle with Trump] is a fight Mr. Cruz’s campaign clearly relishes. Since Friday, when Mr. Cruz offered a faux apology to New Yorkers who he said were suffering under liberal policies, Cruz aides and allies have repeatedly circulated his comments.

On Saturday, Mr. Cruz said it was “curious” that Mr. Trump had aligned himself with left-leaning officials in New York in calling for the apology... “It does raise the question of, O.K., if you are offended at my pointing out how much the failed policies have hurt New Yorkers, then which of those policies do you agree with?” Mr. Cruz said.

He added that, because Mr. Trump had donated to Hillary Clinton and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, “it’s a fair inference that he supports their policies.”

Later, Mr. Cruz’s campaign sent reporters a video of an interview with Mr. Trump from 1999, when he said on “Meet the Press” that he was “very pro-choice” and that he was more likely to support gay rights because he lived in New York.
“It is a little bit curious that he is now offended at the notion that he embodies New York values,” Mr. Cruz said." --Matt Flegenheimer

UNEXPECTEDLY: GOPe Elites Sucking Up to Donald Trump In Last-Ditch Effort to Stop Ted Cruz

I like Donald Trump and would support him for president if he were the nominee. Even with another northeastern liberal Republican -- Scott Brown, who Trump has floated as a VP candidate -- on the ticket.

But my clear favorite is Ted Cruz, because he's the one Constitutional conservative who actually goes to war for what he believes. In 2013, he single handedly shut down the government in an effort to defund Obamacare (a promise that Mitch McConnell made to voters in Kentucky that he quickly abandoned). He called out his own party's leader on the Senate floor for lying to conservatives. He's meant what he's said and he's said what he meant, something precious few politicians ever do.

What does Donald Trump actually stand for? What do we call the Trump movement? Does it have successors as Cruz appears to be to Reagan?

Given a choice between Cruz and Trump, it would appear the GOP establishment has figured it can work with the Donald. So says the Washington Post and many others:

CNN: Hey, Folks, Relax! Don’t Panic! Everything’s Awesome!

By Mac Slavo

Forget for a moment that U.S. stock markets have seen their worst start to a new year since the Great Depression or that some $2.5 trillion in wealth has been evaporated in less than two weeks.

CNN says it’s hardly the time to panic:

While No One Was Watching, Obama Took Control of the Courts

By Sara Noble

The New York Times wrote in 2014, “Democrats have reversed the partisan imbalance on the federal appeals courts that long favored conservatives, a little-noticed shift with far-reaching consequences for the law and President Obama’s legacy.”

It didn’t favor conservatives but there was a dramatic shift to the far left.

The appellate is under the control of leftists and ACLU types. They own the Court of Appeals.

As he has done by ignoring Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States, Obama has been eliminating voices not his own. He has been erasing the Separation of Powers and our Constitution. He has been obliterating states rights.The judicial branch was also on the agenda.
