...Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said on Tuesday night that he is backing out of Thursday's primary debate in Des Moines, Iowa, which will be broadcast by Fox News Channel.
Trump had been publicly mulling the move for a few days, complaining that Fox News host Megyn Kelly, one of three moderators for the event, is biased against him...

WE GOT A BLEEDER! Donald Trump Bails out of GOP Debate, Fearing Questions From... Megyn Kelly
SURPRISE: Hillary Clinton Lies About Reagan to Cover Her Benghazi Tracks
At Monday’s Democrat Town Hall, an audience member asked Hillary Clinton how she would deal with the issue of the attack in Benghazi both in the campaign going forward and as president if she’s elected. Rather than actually answer the question, the Democratic presidential front-runner — you guessed it — danced around it.
“I am well aware that for partisan political purposes this continues, but let me tell you why this makes me — it makes me sad. It makes me sad because we’ve had, we’ve had terrorist attacks many times before in our country,” she said before waxing reminiscent. “When Ronald Reagan was president in 1983, our Marine barracks, our embassy were attacked in Beirut. More than 250 Americans were killed. The Democrats didn’t make that a partisan issue."
PRO-LIFE WOMEN SOUND THE ALARM: Donald Trump is Unacceptable
Dear Iowans,
As pro-life women leaders from Iowa and across the nation, we urge Republican caucus-goers and voters to support anyone but Donald Trump. On the issue of defending unborn children and protecting women from the violence of abortion, Mr. Trump cannot be trusted and there is, thankfully, an abundance of alternative candidates with proven records of pro-life leadership whom pro-life voters can support. We have come to this conclusion after having listened patiently to numerous debates and news reports, but most importantly to Donald Trump’s own words.The next president will be responsible for as many as four nominations to the Supreme Court.

PAUL RYAN SELL OUT #5,439: GOPe Fully Funds Obama Plan to Import 300,000 Islamist Migrants Into U.S.
Last Wednesday, Senate Democrats successfully and predictably blocked what many conservatives described as Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)’s “Show Vote'”on refugee admissions.
It has been called a show vote because the Ryan plan, even if the President signed it, would still allow the President to bring in an unlimited number of refugees from an unlimited number of countries.
Democrats’ filibuster on the motion to proceed to Ryan’s show vote comes one month after Speaker Ryan sent President Obama a blank check to fund visa issuances to nearly 300,000 (temporary and permanent) Muslim migrants in the next 12 months alone. Ryan’s decision to fully-fund Obama’s immigration agenda arguably ceded any leverage he may otherwise have had over Democrats and ensured the large-scale migration into America would continue and grow.
THANKS, OBAMA: Iran Poised to Become the Wal-Mart of Terror, Says Military Assessment
Away from the vociferous disputes that continue to rage around the Iranian nuclear deal, the Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate and General Staff have been engaged in detached analysis of the short and long-term effects, and they have come away with three central conclusions.
Details of their assessments, though shared with defense reporters over recent months, were publicly presented for the first last week by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot during a conference in Tel Aviv, organized by the Institute for National Security Studies.
GOOD NEWS! Marco Rubio Says Criminal Illegal Aliens Should Be Able to Stay in the U.S., Too
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s interview with Meet The Press host Chuck Todd— in which he pledged to allow illegal aliens remain in the U.S.— has received widespread attention.However, while Politico oxymoronically titled its article “Rubio: Law-Abiding Undocumented Immigrants Could Stay,” perhaps the most striking part of Rubio’s interview was his indication that criminal aliens would be allowed to remain in the United States as well.

QOTD: "Trump is spending his own money on local political operators in Iowa and New Hampshire so he can compete at the street level, but without the massive overhang of the consultancy and their party patrons...
...That’s certainly part of what is unnerving Conservative Inc about the Trump campaign. If this crude rich guy can buy his way into the game and then shove aside the commentariat on his way to the nomination, why will anyone bother catering to them in the future? ...
...The parties will still have a role as the legislative bodies are regulated to the benefit of political parties. As dangerous as Caesarism sounds, the American system allows for the legislature to claw back its authority in hurry if it cares to do it. Maybe the specter of billionaires buying the White House is what’s needed to slap the political parties to their senses and maybe is is what’s needed for the Congress to reassert its role in government." --The Z Man

How does Twitter keep missing this obvious opportunity to increase revenue?
Twitter's stock has suffered from a cascading series of meltdowns since its IPO (see chart, below) as its revenue, growth in users, and related metrics have disappointed when compared to peers like Facebook and Google.
One financial analyst, on record as a Twitter short, describes it this way:
What I haven't grasped for years, when I first wrote about this topic in 2014, is why Twitter ignores monetizing its incredible reach through embedded Tweets:After this week's relief rally, Twitter closed at $17.82, almost 50% down from my initial short recommendation in July 2015. In part, I believe this is because I was fundamentally right about Twitter as a niche product for a select group of power-users such as journalists, media personalities and self-important adolescents...
"I'M GOING TO DO A LOT OF THINGS": Trump Vows to Use Obama-Style Executive Actions to Bypass Congress
Some conservatives are concerned over Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s vow to take the same path of bypassing Congress as President Barack Obama – even though the billionaire said his actions would be “much better” than Obama’s and done for “the right things.”
“Does Mr. Trump enjoy power? Is he more likely to prefer limited and constitutional or unlimited and unconstitutional power? Where is he likely to fall on that scale? I tend to think it’s with the maximum possible exercise of power,” Colin Hanna, president of the conservative public policy group Let Freedom Ring USA, told TheBlaze.
Trump, as president, might well use the executive powers to advance conservative causes, Hanna added, but he said there is more at stake.
THE ULTIMATE TIMELINE: The Diabolical "Fast and Furious" Scandal

In the wake of the revelation that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was in possession of a .50-caliber rifle (that can “take down a helicopter“), a reminder is in order about the true nature of Operation Fast and Furious.
A PRICE ON EVERY AMERICAN'S HEAD: Concerns Mount Obama Paid $1.7 Billion in Ransom to Iran
There are growing concerns that the $1.7 billion payment the United States released to Iran last week amounted to a ransom for the freedom of American hostages held by the Islamic Republic, The Wall Street Journal reported (Google link) Thursday.
According to the Journal, the money was wired to Tehran at around the same time that the regime allowed thee American captives– Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, Marine veteran Amir Hekmati, and Cristian pastor Saeed Abedini– to depart the country on a Swiss air force jet. Two other Americans were also freed, though one chose to stay in Iran. In exchange, the U.S. released seven Iranians charged or convicted for smuggling prohibited items to Iran and other crimes. Washington also agreed not to pursue 14 other Iranians, including two wanted for transporting troops and weapons to Syria in support of dictator Bashar al-Assad.

QOTD: "...at least one of Clinton’s e-mails included sensitive information on spies.
“It takes a very conscious effort to move a classified e-mail or cable from the classified systems over to the unsecured open system and then send it to Hillary Clinton’s personal e-mail account,” said Raymond Fournier, a veteran Diplomatic Security Service special agent. “That’s no less than a two-conscious-step process.”
He says it’s clear from some of the classified e-mails made public that someone on Clinton’s staff essentially “cut and pasted” content from classified cables into the messages sent to her. The classified markings are gone, but the content is classified at the highest levels — and so sensitive in nature that “it would have been obvious to Clinton.” Most likely the information was, in turn, e-mailed to her via NIPRNet.
To work around the closed, classified systems, which are accessible only by secure desktop workstations whose hard drives must be removed and stored overnight in a safe, Clinton’s staff would have simply retyped classified information from the systems into the non-classified system or taken a screen shot of the classified document, Fournier said. “Either way, it’s totally illegal.”" --Paul Sperry

PARANOID: Fear, hate and conspiracy theories have destroyed Hillary Clinton’s campaign
Hillary Clinton’s political future is caught between an old hippie and the FBI.
Under fire, her collapsing campaign is retreating into paranoia and conspiracy theories.

The rise of Bernie Sanders is being attributed to “dark money” and political enemies by Clintonworld.

With the Iowa caucus less than two weeks away, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is refusing to answer questions about how he would vote on the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal until after voters have gone to the polls.Rubio’s decision to conceal his position from voters comes after he previously declared that TPP would be a foundational “pillar” of his hoped-for presidency if elected.
According to a report from the Tampa Bay Times, Rubio told reporters on Jan. 7 that he will not reveal his position on the very trade deal he voted to fast-track until May 18th— two months after Super Tuesday.

QOTD: ...the next president will immediately be confronted by the “fourth branch of government”— the administrative state...
...With Donald Trump as the front-runner, [whether he would go to war with the administrative state is a question] he needs to answer. He has recently extolled his ability to work with people and cut deals. He has decried the gridlock in Washington. The problem with that mentality is that if you are looking for efficiency instead of principle, as many businessmen are often inclined to do, the path to least resistance is to work with the administrative state instead of going to war with it. And that would render the presidency worthless, especially following Obama’s fundamental transformation of an already-imbalanced administrative state.
Trump has captured the minds of many conservatives with his promises to enforce our immigration laws and sovereignty. But if he is committed to cutting deals in order to avoid gridlock, nowhere will his agenda be rendered more worthless than in the realm of immigration enforcement." --Daniel Horowtiz

OBAMA ARMED EL CHAPO WITH .50 CAL: Media Ignore Yet Another Fast and Furious Outrage
The liberal media avoid reporting on President Obama’s many scandals at any cost, and Fast and Furious is no exception. Despite the media’s studied avoidance of these scandals, their impact continues. When Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents discovered that a weapon from Fast and Furious was found in Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s Mexican hideout, there was virtual silence from the mainstream media.
