QOTD: "When it comes to divisive ideological gestures Obama is a master. Just because he does not look like a loudmouthed blowhard does not mean that he is a model of propriety. In fact, he is anything but. He just hides it better.

Obama took the occasion of the Scalia funeral to divide America, to force Americans to see it through their ideological blinders. To the end he remains Jeremiah Wright’s protégé.

What was the reason? Apparently, our thin-skinned president took Scalia’s vigorous dissents on Obamacare personally. He was offended. It hurt his feelings. Scalia failed to put a trigger warning on his opinions.

Obama could have risen above his personal pique, but that would have been a lot to expect from a man whose presidency turned Americans against each other and tried to take advantage of the divisions." --Stuart Schneiderman

MARCO RUBIO: I 'Absolutely' Support Tuition Breaks For Illegal Aliens

By Julia Hahn

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is doubling down on his support for in-state tuition for illegal aliens.

On ABC, George Stephanopoulos asked Rubio about his work in the Florida statehouse in which he “co-sponsored legislation to provide in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants.” Stephanopolous asked Rubio directly: “Do you stand behind that position now?”

Rubio said that he “absolutely” stands behind that legislation:

AN AFFRONT TO THE CONSTITUTION: The Government Agency From Hell, the "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau"

By Alden Abbott

A little-known federal government agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, imposes enormous costs on consumers and financial service providers through costly and unwarranted command-and-control regulation.

What’s more, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau runs afoul of the constitutionally mandated separation of powers. Thus, both economic and constitutional concerns indicate that it is time for Congress to abolish the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and reallocate those of its functions that merit being retained to other existing federal regulatory agencies.

Message to the GOPe from a fed-up grassroots voter

By Michelle Malkin

A reader named Dave in Montana asked me for help yesterday trying to get a message to the RNC and GOP ruling elite. I promised I would do what I could to make sure they saw his words.

I know there are many who feel the same way about the Republican leadership gone wobbly.

Here’s his email:

BOOM: Mark Levin Launches Television Show

This just came over the wire:



Attorney, author, and radio host Mark R. Levin
CRTV is announcing the launch of LevinTV, hosted by one of the nation’s most compelling, passionate and thoughtful Conservative voices, Mark Levin.

LevinTV will be America’s new televised Town Hall meeting and is the next step in the evolution of digital conservative media.

LevinTV will be produced five days a week in a state-of-the-art studio built exclusively for the show. It will be broadcast in HD, featuring one of the most technologically advanced television sets ever created.

It’s about time there is a place on television where people can go and have their principles, beliefs, and values reinforced rather than attacked.”

QOTD: "The world of 2016 is eerily beginning to resemble the powder keg of 1939 Europe.

Iran, China and North Korea, along with radical Islamic terrorist groups, all have particular contempt for Western democracies. Almost daily, various aggressive nations or organizations seek provocation by shooting off intercontinental missiles, boarding American boats, sending millions of young male Middle Easterners into the West, and issuing unending threats. China is creating new artificial islands to control commercial routes to and from Asia.

The European Union is largely unarmed. Yet it still trusts that it can use its vaunted “smart diplomacy” to reason with its enemies.

Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin’s Russia cuts deals with Iran, Syria and most of the enemies of the West. Like Stalin before, Putin cynically assumes that his triangulations will turn aggressive powers exclusively against the West. Recently, he warned the West of a “new world war” starting in the Middle East.

[And] America is slowly withdrawing from involvement abroad, using the same isolationist arguments heard in the 1920s." --Victor Davis Hanson

THE DOCUMENTARY THEY TRIED TO CENSOR: Trump -- What's the Deal?

A commenter alerted me to a documentary on Donald Trump -- recently uploaded to YouTube -- that appears to have been produced in the late 1980s. Rumor has it that one of Mr. Trump's legendary lawsuits suppressed its distribution.

It's very -- very -- interesting.

The vid features NYC icons Jimmy Breslin and Ed Koch as well as some New York Times punks, along with a range of typical, workaday jamokes like you and me.

It seems to get to the heart of who Donald Trump really is.

OH, MY: Ted Cruz Takes Lead in Major National Poll

Please: no one tell Mr. Trump. He'll freak out, turn orange, and accuse the pollsters of lying.

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has surpassed Donald Trump for the top spot in a new national survey of the Republican presidential race from NBC News/Wall Street Journal.

Cruz leads the poll with the support of 28 percent of those surveyed, followed by Trump at 26 percent, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio at 17 percent, Ohio Gov. John Kasich at 11 percent, and Ben Carson at 10 percent.

Trump dropped seven percentage points since last month, and hit his lowest point in the NBC/WSJ poll since October 2015 when Carson took the top spot. Cruz and Kasich each gained eight percentage points since January, the largest improvement of any candidate, and received their highest level of support ever in the poll.

"When you see a number this different, it means you might be right on top of a shift in the campaign," said Bill McInturff, who conducted the survey with a Democratic pollster on behalf of Hart Research Associates, to NBC.

This is just a single poll, to be sure. But one can only hope and pray that a man grounded in the Constitution since his youth can attain the presidency.

Say your prayers, my friends.

MARK LEVIN: Trump Sounds Like a "Radical Kook", Cuts Military Families to the Core with his "9/11 Truther Crap"

From The Mark Levin Show, 15 February 2016:

I watched that debate Saturday night. It was a disgrace. It was a disgrace. First of all, because that bum who is the chairman of the RNC -- I've been calling for his resignation since whenever -- packed that audience with his fat-cat donors and hangers-on and consultants and all the rest. There were times I couldn't even hear Ted Cruz's answer or Donald Trump's answer because they were being booed. Have you ever heard or seen that before? That's your 'Rinse' Priebus. That's your 'Rinse' Priebus...

NUMBERS USA: All of the Presidential Candidates' Report Cards on Immigration and Amnesty

Numbers USA is the nation's largest grassroots immigration-reduction organization, which was founded as a result of two national commissions, including President Clinton's Task Force on Population and Consumption.

NUSA issues Worker-Protection Immigration Grade Cards for each of the presidential candidates.

Could I have a Trump sandwich with a side of Soros, please?

By Anonymous

Donald Trump has attacked Ted Cruz roughly a billion times over the last week for having taken out loans from Citibank and Goldman Sachs. Like most everything Trump says, his attacks are short on facts and even shorter on sense. He claims somehow that Cruz attempted to hide the loans, even though he openly disclosed them on public filings (just not the right ones).

On the other hand, Trump definitely can be bought and he most certainly does owe large amounts of money to some rather suspicious and nefarious people.

QOTD: "In the South Carolina Republican presidential debate, Donald Trump used "liar," "lie," "lies," "lied," or "lying" a whopping ten times. Five of those were directed at Ted Cruz (mostly in response to Cruz's correctly noting that Trump supports federal funding for Planned Parenthood), four were directed at Jeb Bush (in response to Bush's saying Trump went bankrupt, when—more exactly—several of his business ventures did), and one—the most memorable and consequential—was directed at the George W. Bush administration. About the Bush administration, Trump amazingly said, "They lied. They said there were weapons of mass destruction, there were none."

Marco Rubio used "liar," "lie," "lies," "lied," or "lying" five times—half as many times as Trump did—directing all five uses at Cruz. Rubio accused Cruz of lying about Rubio's positions on immigration, about Ben Carson, about Planned Parenthood, about marriage, and—as a catch-all—"about all sorts of things." In none of these cases did Rubio even try to substantiate his accusation—he simply accused Cruz of lying and left it at that." --Jeffrey H. Anderson

Deranged Central Bankers are Blowing Up the World

By Jim Quinn

It is now self-evident to any sentient being (excludes CNBC shills, Wall Street shyster economists, and Keynesian loving politicians) the mountainous level of unpayable global debt is about to crash down like an avalanche upon hundreds of millions of willfully ignorant citizens who trusted their politician leaders and the central bankers who created the debt out of thin air. McKinsey produced a report last year showing the world had added $57 trillion of debt between 2008 and the 2nd quarter of 2014, with global debt to GDP reaching 286%.

REASON #6,303 I LOVE ME SOME TED CRUZ: Pimp-slapping NBC's Chuck Todd Edition

I mean love in a totally platonic and manly kinda way, of course.

THE ROAD TO WORLD WAR III: Turkey Enters the War in Syria as Saudi Jets Arrive

By Tyler Durden

Reports indicate the Turkish army has crossed the border into Syria.

"The Syrian government says Turkish forces were believed to be among 100 gunmen it said entered Syria on Saturday accompanied by 12 pick-up trucks mounted with heavy machine guns, in an ongoing supply operation to insurgents fighting Damascus," Reuters reports. "The operation of supplying ammunition and weapons is continuing via the Bab al-Salama crossing to the Syrian area of Azaz," the Assad government says.

Meanwhile, since all that would take to unleash a full-blown war is for some Russian to be unexpectedly blown up, events like this do not inspire much confidence in the Syrian "ceasefire":

RUBIO ON UNIVISION: In Spanish, Marco Pledges to Keep Obama's Executive Amnesty In Place

By Julia Hahn

In a little-noticed interview late last year with Univision’s Jorge Ramos, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) declared that, as President, he would keep Barack Obama’s executive amnesty for DREAMers in place until it was permanently codified through legislation.

Rubio said, in part:
