Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said he would strive to be like Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat famous for expanding the U.S. welfare state through the “Great Society,” if he were elected president. According to the Miami Herald, Bush made those comments Wednesday night in San Antonio, Florida at Saint Leo University, while speaking about education, immigration, and energy policy. Bush did not address Johnson’s Great Society and War on Poverty programs, about which Ronald Reagan once famously quipped, “We had a war on poverty, and poverty won.” Instead, he was referencing Johnson’s mastery of the so-called sausage-making process in Congress. He ...

GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump says he thinks Hillary Clinton lost all credibility when she blamed him for the massacre at a church in South Carolina. The 2016 Democratic presidential frontrunner hinted that the shooting at a church in Charleston, South Carolina is in some way connected to Donald Trump’s recent presidential announcement. Clinton told an interviewer: Public discourse is sometimes hotter and more negative than it should be, which can, in my opinion, trigger someone who is less than stable. I think we have to speak out against it. Like, for example, a recent entry into the Republican presidential campaign said some very inflammatory things about Mexicans. ...
Donald Trump: Billionaire Con Man, Presidential Aspirant

Donald Trump: Billionaire Con Man, Presidential Aspirant by Stephen Lendman Call it the silly season. A host of unworthy presidential aspirants announced their candidacy. Donald Trump is the latest: a billionaire con man, Trump Organization head, self-styled celebrity, outspoken to a fault. In 2010, he expressed interest in a possible presidential run, then backed off, saying he wasn't "ready to leave the private sector." Modesty isn't a Trump long suit. He claimed at the time if he ran, he'd "be able to win the primary and, ultimately, the general election." He added "business is (his) greatest passion and" he wasn't ready for politics. ...

Did you listen to Jeb Bush make his announcement yesterday? Did you hear loud cheers from a crowd that seemed excited at the prospect that there could be another Bush as President? Was I the only one confused? I don’t know one person who doesn’t threaten to leave the Country if it’s Bush vs Clinton for President again. Can’t imagine folks actually excited and cheering for Jeb.It got me wondering, would someone like Jeb, or another candidate that’s been struggling like he has, hire a crowd? Pay people to attend their rallies to make them seem like their gaining in popularity? We have seen Hillary Clinton stage appearances, knowing ahead of time the people ...

Donald Trump wants Oprah Winfrey as his running mate: ‘We’d win easily’ Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump is already talking about his ideal running mate — in this case, television mogul Oprah Winfrey. “Oprah would be great,” Trump told ABC News host George George Stephanopoulos. “I think we’d win easily.” Stephanopoulos pointed out that Trump has openly wished to run alongside Winfrey for political office since 1999, when he told then-CNN host Larry King that he was exploring the possibility of running for the Reform Party’s nomination.

Jeb Bush Makes His Presidential Candidacy Official by Stephen Lendman Jeb Bush wants to be president. Why ordinary Americans would want him they'll have to explain. Hugo Chavez called George Bush "the devil" who thinks he's "the owner of the world." It runs in the family. All politicians lie. Ignore what Bush says. Understand what he'll do if elected. He'll continue the same destructive policies wrecking mainstream America to enrich the privileged few he represents more than already - an agenda of endless wars, corporate empowerment, handouts and grand theft without accountability along with police state crackdowns on nonbelievers.

According to CBS on Tuesday, Republicans such as Rick Santorum and Ben Carson are "long shot" candidates running for president to make money or score a television deal on Fox. Reporter Julianna Goldman included clips of six GOP contenders, but not a single "long shot" Democrat. Instead, she ripped 'Don Quixote' conservatives. Goldman snidely insisted of the Republicans: "If they can stay in the race there is a lot to gain beyond the party's nomination, like cashing in with lucrative TV deals." She featured pollster Frank Luntz to dismiss the candidates: "There is an advantage in running for president in writing books and appearing on TV ...

Hillary Clinton: Profile of Rogue Leadership by Stephen Lendman The possibility of another Clinton or Bush becoming president in 2017 should make everyone's blood run cold. Both represent everything wrong with America - a ruthless gangster state run by monied interests for their benefit alone, waging endless wars for power, profit and unchallenged global dominance along with governing under a homeland police state apparatus. Hillary was Washington's 67th Secretary of State. She served from January 21, 2009 - February 1, 2013. She was arguably America's worst - at least until John Kerry succeeded her. From 2001 - 2009, she was US Senator from New York. In 2008, she ...
Jeb Struggling To Stay Afloat

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush had a bad week last week, according to the Washington Press corps. They saw Bush installing Republican operative Danny Diaz as his campaign manager as a sign that Bush is struggling. Actually, Diaz is a great pick and a sign that Bush is about to formally announce his presidential bid. But the reality is that Jeb Bush has made a number of miscalculations as he heads to a formal announcement this week. First, he presumed his entry would keep others out. It may have kept out Romney v.5.0, but that was all. Bush team members were rather public that they hoped his early announcement would keep Rubio out. It did not. When Rubio got in, they presumed they could lock ...

Establishment GOP accused of failing America'Free trade has been a disaster. We don't want to import people who expect low wages' Since voters gave the GOP control of both houses of Congress in November 2014, Republicans have funded President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, confirmed the highly partisan Loretta Lynch as attorney general and have not repealed Obamacare. Now, the GOP-led Congress is poised to vote for Trade Promotion Authority. TPA, or fast-track authority, which has already passed the Senate, would allow the president to negotiate international trade agreements without input from Congress.

General Patton Discovered The Truth By Adam AustinSubverted Nation 9-19-10 George Patton was a highly decorated war hero from WWII who led the Third Army to victory in many campaigns. After the war, General Patton was tasked with control of the larger portion of American occupied Germany, and his job was to dole out justice to the newly defeated enemy. It was the summer of 1945, and after the end of the fighting, General Patton started to get a grip on what had really transpired around him. As General Patton started to actually become acquainted with the defeated Germans and America's Soviet allies, Patton finally realized what he was in the midst of, and his opinions about ...

June 4, 2015 Is the party over for Republican establishment presidential candidates? By Rick Moran Stuart Rothenberg, writing in Roll Call, wonders if the dominance of the GOP establishment in presidential politics might be coming to an end. Rothenberg looks at every race since 1952, pointing out that in all but two nomination contests, conservatives were shut out. Those two races – Goldwater's insurgent campaign of 1964 and Reagan's run in 1980 – stand out as the only victories by a candidate of the right in more than 60 years. Some candidates like Mitt Romney have tried to run as conservatives but failed to attract much support. But the litany of ...

The Mysterious Number of American Citizens Supreme Court justices assume we know how many Americans can vote. But we have no idea. By NATHANIEL PERSILY June 02, 2015 Many Americans believe that someone, somewhere in Washington, must be in charge of tracking who is and who isn’t a citizen of the United States. Apparently, so does the U.S. Supreme Court, which just accepted a voting rights case that turns on the government’s ability to count the number of citizens in each voting district. But despite all the talk these days about government and Big Data, the justices, like the rest of us, might be surprised to learn that the most basic information as to who is an American ...

Taya Kyle, the widow of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, recently made a presidential endorsement, but here’s the thing. He’s not in the race. Yet. Kyle endorsed former Texas Governor Rick Perry, who’s expected to make his official campaign announcement next week. “I’ve had an up-close view of their humility and commitment to doing the right thing for people regardless of who gets the credit,” Kyle said. “Believe me, they are a breath of fresh air in a political system full of people playing games and twisting the truth,” she added. Perry’s expected to make his big announcement on Thursday in Addison, Texas. Kyle will be there offering her support. ...

Presidential hopeful Rand Paul has done it once again, never ceasing to amaze those who supported his father Ron. In his latest book 'Taking A Stand,' Rand Paul has praised Bill Gates vaccine campaign, and also said there's a chance that the Federal Reserve only has our best interests at heart. It's amazing that Rand Paul would praise Bill Gates 'vaccination crusade.' Who exactly is Paul trying to pander to? His father Ron knows well about the dangers of vaccines. In February, Rand Paul took a reporter along to get jabbed with a vaccine, to prove to America that he wholeheartedly endorsed vaccines. Rand has also privately consulted with Dr. Evil himself, Henry ...

Bernie Sanders: Populist or Opportunist? by Stephen Lendman Compared to Hillary Clinton and array of Republican presidential aspirants looking more like a police lineup, Sanders seems almost saintly. Hold the cheers. On the one hand, no one challenging money-controlled US politics has a chance to win any top position in government - let alone the presidency. Sander's chance to become president is zero. On the other, ignore what he and other politicians say. Follow what they do, mainly their voting record on issues mattering most. Give him credit. Sanders is on the right side of many issues - including calling income inequality "the great moral issue of our time." At the ...

Via David Weigel, Rand's "spontaneous" surge of filibuster support (with pre-printed look-alike signs) ... Bump has a detailed breakdown of why Rand's second "filibuster" flopped, which includes this gem: Paul's 11-hour speech on Wednesday in objection to the Patriot Act didn't seem to have the same resonance. The first time around, Twitter (the company) trumpeted that more than a million tweets about the filibuster -- many tagged with the aspirational hashtag #standwithrand -- were sent that day. This time, data from the Twitter analytics tool Topsy suggests a much more humble response on the Internet's social comments system, perhaps as few as 100 ...

Fact-driven, fair, aggressive journalism animates American politics. As an investigative journalist, I am accustomed to asking tough questions. When I publish, I expect tough questions in turn, That's not what ABC News This Week host and chief anchor George Stephanopoulos delivered when he interviewed me about my new book on the Clinton Foundation last month. There's a reason. Though Stephanopoulos belatedly disclosed $75,000 in donations to the foundation, he has yet to disclose his much deeper relationship with the Clinton Foundation. When Stephanopoulos invited me on his Sunday program, I knew that he had worked as a top adviser and campaign manager to President Bill Clinton in ...
