RED ALERT: Hillary Grand Jury Convened -- FBI Also Pursuing Clinton Influence Peddling

By Richard Pollock

Department of Justice officials have impaneled a federal grand jury in the Hillary Clinton email case and FBI agents have launched a second, separate investigation on political corruption involving the former secretary of state’s official activities and the Clinton Foundation, a former U.S. attorney told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Joseph E. diGenova, who served as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia for four years, said Wednesday he believes the FBI is investigating two separate Clinton scandals.

“The Bureau has between 100 and 150 agents assigned to the case. They would not have that many people assigned to a classified information case,” he told TheDCNF, addressing Clinton’s use of a private email server located at her New York home.

On top of all these IRBM launches, Bill Gertz at the Free Beacon warned last month that the Iranians are preparing, with the help of Mark Toner, John Kerry and dozens of other American enablers, an ICBM test.

DEAR GOPe: Unite Behind Ted Cruz --- Or Die.

That's the message David French has for the GOP establishment:

Here’s what the math says: John Kasich and Marco Rubio, you have no hope of becoming the GOP nominee. Even if you win your home states, the only thing that will do is maintain the four-person dynamic under which Trump thrives. Even if you are fortunate enough to work cooperatively to deny Trump an absolute majority of delegates, do either of you — in your right mind — believe that a convention dominated by Trump and Cruz delegates is going to unite behind you? They’d sooner riot (and I’m only partially joking).

We’ve given the multi-candidate “blind ambition tour” exactly 23 states and one territory to work, and here’s the score: Trump 15, Cruz 7, Rubio 2, and Kasich . . . zero. I think that’s a sufficient sample size. Let’s try something else...

FOR THE WIN: Chicago Tribune Refuses to Endorse Any Democrat for President

By Wallace P. Crundersnap, III

After endorsing Barack Obama three times for President, the Chicago Tribune is refusing to endorse either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

With a sluggish economy and skyrocketing debt, all we’ve heard from the Democrats are promises of more spending that ignore “economic reality.”

Here are the highlights of the Tribune’s non-endorsement.

THE JOB NOBODY WANTS, PART VI: Jordan out for #SCOTUS

By Cliff van Durstenburg, Esq.

Now this is getting absurd. After Loretta Lynch dropped out of consideration last night, CNN reports today that 11th Circuit Judge Adalberto Jordan has withdrawn his name from SCOTUS consideration, making him now the SIXTH potential nominee to do so:

Adalberto Jordan, a federal judge in Miami seen as a top contender for the Supreme Court vacancy, has withdrawn his name from contention, a lawmaker told CNN on Wednesday.

Those joining Jordan and Lynch in saying “no thanks” to Obama on SCOTUS in last few weeks include Senator Cory Booker, California Attorney General Kamala Harris, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval. It’s no surprise everyone is backing away from this mission, as Marc Thiessen wrote in The Washington Post last week:

OBAMA BFF: Next War with Israel “Will Reach the Galilee”

By The Tower

The Iran-backed terrorist group Hezbollah warned that fighting during a future war with Israel “will reach the Galilee,” Israel Hayom reported on Sunday, citing Foreign Policy.

“In the next war, Hezbollah won’t stay on the borders, and the Israeli settlements in the north will not be protected from this,” said a source close to the terrorist group. “Hezbollah will bring the war to them, and Israel’s biggest concern is over Hezbollah’s experience in Syria, as it now has the experience to be offensive rather than just defensive.”

STONEWALL: State Dept. Says it Could Delay Hillary Email Review Until After Election Day

By Matthew Vadum

The State Department announced it may put off its review of the sensitive classified information former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent on her illegal, insecure email server until after Election Day.

The server is at the heart of the scandal over Clinton's mishandling of an Islamic terrorist attack in militant-infested Benghazi, Libya on the 11th anniversary of 9/11 that left four Americans, including U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens, dead. Even now, three years after the assault, the Obama administration has failed to provide an autopsy report about Stevens who was initially reported to have been ritualistically sodomized before being murdered by Muslim terrorists.

But this possible delay is a transparent ploy intended to benefit Clinton's presidential campaign.

QOTD: "A battle is being waged within Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s campaign about whether he should even remain in the Republican presidential race ahead of his home state primary on March 15, sources say...

Rubio himself is “bullish” on his odds of winning the critical primary, despite some advisers who are less hopeful and believe a loss there would damage him politically in both the short- and long-term...

... “He doesn’t want to get killed in his home state,” one source familiar with the discussions said, noting “a poor showing would be a risk and hurt his political future.”

Most of his advisers agree he does not have a path to the nomination and some are advising him to get out ahead of the March 15 primary.

Sources within the campaign also say the pressure will only continue to mount following an expected disappointing showing Tuesday, when voters in Michigan, Mississippi, Hawaii and Idaho make their picks in the GOP primary." --Jamie Gangel and Tal Kopan, CNN

Trump's Cult of Personality

By Richard Larsen

The most disturbing aspect to the Donald Trump candidacy is not the empty rhetoric, non-substantive solutions, or even his brash politically-incorrect style. The most disturbing aspect of his candidacy is what it says about so many of our fellow citizens. A veritable personality cult is developing around the GOP frontrunner rivaling that of the Democrat nominee from four and eight years ago. And it’s just as speciously founded.

Some assert that the Trump bandwagon is reshaping the Republican Party. Some go even further and claim that his candidacy is simply bringing out sordid and ignoble characteristics of the party that have been heretofore more latent and simmering under the veneer surface of decency. Such characterizations are erroneous.

SHE THINKS DEMOCRATS ARE VERY, VERY STUPID: Hillary Continues Shrieking Her "No Classified Emails" Lies

By America Rising

During Monday's Fox News town hall, Hillary Clinton repeated her outrageous claims that her private email server contained no classified material. Perhaps she could inform the FBI, the State Department, and various Inspectors General, which have designated more than 2,000 emails as classified, including 104 sent by Clinton herself, and 22 with a TOP SECRET designation.

During the town hall, Secretary Clinton faced a series of withering questions about her private email server. Among them was a quote from last year, in which Clinton claimed her private server contained no classified material.

QOTD: "...most of the Republican establishment sees illegal immigration not as legality or illegality, right or wrong, chaos or order, but only in terms of electoral politics. Discomfort with illegal immigration is mostly an abstraction, one that Trump yahoos and “nativists” and “xenophobes” whine about—and by such whining supposedly undermine the future demographic visions of beltway handlers...

...Because Trump anger is not about consistency on the issues, but raw emotion, refuting Trump by rationally exposing the myriad of his hypocrisies and vulgarities has not so far won over too many of his supporters. That might have been easily possible a year ago, had a candidate tried to infuse some passion into a workable agenda and shown some affinity with those who are otherwise written off as Ice Road Truckers or Ax Men embarrassments. Or had a candidate far earlier, as Rubio apparently is now, been willing to blow up his campaign by descending to Trump’s crude level and in kamikaze fashion trading repugnant Trumpian smears, blow for blow. Or had a Kasich, Carson, or Bush far earlier bowed out.

But at least for a while longer, millions of Republicans and lots of Reagan Democrats would gladly prefer to be wrong with Trump than right with anyone else." --Victor Davis Hanson

No, Donald Trump Isn't Going to Build a Wall

'Build the Wall' is the new 'Hope and Change'

Let me say from the outset that I am not a member of the crypto-Democrats masquerading as Republicans or conservatives under the banner of #NeverTrump.

While I often agree with the likes of Erick Erickson and Jim Geraghty, their rationale for withholding support for a potential Trump nominee defies all logic and reason.

In effect, abstaining from a presidential election provides tacit assistance to the ultra-radicalized Democrat Party. Their inaction might help move a pantsuited crime boss or a Marxist kook to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

The cries of the Crypto-Democrats revolve around several dubious claims:

In Texas, Senator Cruz (44%) crushed Mr. Trump (27%) and Senator Rubio (18%), taking about two-thirds of the 155 delegates in the biggest contest of the night. Senator Rubio got no Texas delegates, since he did not make the 20% threshold. Mr. Cruz’s 17% margin over Donald Trump was one of the biggest winning margins of the night.

“The ceiling” reappeared. Mr.Trump broke through 40% in only two states, Alabama (42%) and Massachusetts (49%), the ultra-liberal Bay State — go figure." --Red Jahncke

A Message From Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories

By Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of this Realm and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith

In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and therefore to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except North Dakota, which she does not fancy).

Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron, will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any American noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
