What he said--Senator Ted Cruz

"America is an unshakable friend of Israel, and we are horrified at what has transpired this week.
I believe Obama's and Kerry's shameful conduct will backfire. That it will be short-lived, and will inspire a bipartisan repudiation of their radical anti-Israel agenda.

All Americans who understand the value of the U.S.-Israel alliance must immediately and unequivocally reject their false and dangerous narrative, and reassert our fundamental commitment to Israel's security.

Thankfully, Congress and the incoming administration can and I hope will take decisive action to intercept the administration’s final and desperate Hail Mary, and that should begin with eliminating U.S. funding to the U.N., unless and until this disgraceful resolution is reversed."

What the Friday Wikileaks showed about Clinton

"If you were wondering if a Trump candidacy was any worry to Clinton, then wonder no more.

The hacked emails released by Wikileaks shows an interesting tidbit about how the Democrats looked at the idea of a Trump candidacy, and you can safely see that of all the candidates Hillary actively wanted to face, Trump was on the list.
...

Calling them the "pied piper" candidates, team Hillary describes Trump, Cruz, and Carson as nominees that could - if handled properly - make the extreme the mainstream.

"We need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are leaders of the pack and tell the press to them seriously," it said in the email.

The summary is that the DNC and the Clinton campaign wanted Trump to be Hillary's opponent because they knew his extreme stances could be used to alienate and divide. They could then use these candidates to paint the Republican party as a whole as something dangerous.

Trump was a tool for Hillary's campaign all along. She wanted the press to take Trump seriously, put him up as the most viable option for Republicans, and the right took the bait, hook, line, and sinker. Now with the Trump campaign burning to the ground, and GOP leaders walking away due to his recent comments, the Clinton campaign's plan to put Hillary on top is coming to fruition.

In short, the Republicans have been played. Trump was a unknowing puppet for Hillary from the get-go, and the right - though some had very strong suspicions - didn't know it."

We all lost in Indiana

Elections have consequences. In 2008 there were many black and white Republicans who crossed over and voted for Obama, thinking, "Finally, we can put racial hatred and animosity behind us." Ha! It's never been worse in my life time and now we have the marriage and bathroom wars. And in 2012, there were so many self-righteous Christians who sat it out because they didn't want to vote for a Mormon. So we've finally come to the day I thought would never happen. (Last night my son reminded me of all the times I lectured him on voting.) I will not vote for a misogynist, narcissistic, pro-choice, buffoon who feeds on fear of immigrants and "others" and makes promises even more vague than Hope and Change. I've believed all along he was a decoy to get Hillary elected, so my vote won't matter, but my conscience will be clear.

I'm with Ilya Somin who is an immigrant (USSR), a professor at the George Mason University School of Law, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, a blogger for the Volokh Conspiracy, a libertarian, author, and daddy of a darling baby girl . He wrote a book titled Democracy and Political Ignorance: Why Smaller Government is Smarter. Maybe now he can write one on how we threw it all away.

"A great evil has come to pass tonight. The GOP has taken a big step towards becoming ...a US version of the National Front. I have never had much confidence in voters. But, in 2016, even the little I had has proven to be excessive. Still, I am as ‪#‎NeverTrump‬ as ever, and the fight against him must continue by any and all available means. 

It is a dark time in American politics, the darkest in my lifetime (and not solely because of Trump). But they also serve who work to keep evil times from getting even worse." (FB post)

 "The followers of Donald Trump did not act like Republicans, did not act like Christians and did not act like Americans. They acted like a pack of dogs looking to kill anything that was good and right about our country and our freedoms. Donald Trump legitimized their hatred and they let it show on a daily basis." http://thecommontruth.net/.../-freedom-died-today-05032016
