Flashback: Ted Cruz joined Glenn Beck at the border passing out the soccer balls and teddy bears to the illegal immigrants
From the story here in the summer of 2014:
'Beck said even if his actions entice more parents in Central America to send their children on the harrowing and sometimes deadly journey to America, it was never his “intent” to do so.'
Phyllis Schlafly's endorsement of Donald Trump turned more heads in Iowa than Sarah Palin's
From the story here:
'[Steve Scheffler, veteran Iowa political organizer] said that it was the support for Trump from 91-year-old conservative organizer Phyllis Schlafly that is “the one that has kind of turned some heads.”'
David Frum thinks Sarah Palin will be important for Trump in Iowa: they're kind of made of the same stuff
Here:
"Endorsements are usually said not to matter much in today’s politics—but if any endorsement in any contest ever can matter, Palin’s endorsement in the Republican Iowa caucuses will. ... In the contrast between Cruz’s support and Trump’s, one sees something truly new and disrupting—a battle between those for whom conservatism is an ideology, and those for whom conservatism is an identity. Since Donald Trump entered the race, one opponent after another has attacked him as not a real conservative. They’ve been right, too! And the same could have been said about Sarah Palin in 2008. Palin knew little and cared less about most of the issues that excited conservative activists and media."

First term senators shouldn't even be running for president: Rand Paul (2010), Marco Rubio (2010) and Ted Cruz (2012)

| Elected to the US Senate in 2004 |
"For six years, Republicans have said the nation made a mistake electing a one term Senator the President of the United States. Why should you, a one term Senator, be the GOP’s nominee?"

The inflation-adjusted price of the average prime slave from 1860 is $44,100, very close to the 2014 raw average US wage of $44,569
The average price of a prime slave from 1860 was about $1,500. Using the consumer price index, that's the equivalent of about $44,100 in 2014. The raw US average wage in 2014 was $44,569 according to the Social Security Administration.
The annual mean price of the labor of a slave from 1860 brought a return on investment of about 12%, and on a month to month basis about 14%. In 2014, corporate profits before taxes came to 12.7% of GDP.
Total slave population in 1860 is estimated to be 3.95 million, 14.7% of the total white population.

Trump in 1999: I am pro-choice . . . but I just hate it
That's not going to kill him, it's going to advance the narrative that Trump "grew" as he got older, grew out of his liberalism.
Video, highly edited, here.

Another Obama achievement: deliberately bankrupting coal companies, destroying jobs and making electricity more expensive
From the story here at Bloomberg yesterday detailing the coal bankruptcies:
Obama has backed tougher limits on carbon dioxide blamed for climate change.
New mercury standards that took effect last year led utilities to retire 23 gigawatts of coal-fired electricity, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
On Friday, his administration said it will stop leasing public land to coal developers and will weigh raising royalty fees for exploration while it studies the fuel’s environmental impacts.
Both production and demand for coal this year will fall to the lowest level since 1983, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said this week. ...
Arch [Coal Inc.] has followed Alpha Natural Resources Inc., Patriot Coal Corp., Walter Energy Inc. and James River Coal Co., in bankruptcy.
In other news, mining (129,000) and logging jobs (2,000) declined 131,000 in 2015, the biggest decline since 1986 and the third worst year of declines since 1939.
Since 2007 net generation of electricity from coal has declined by almost 30% through October 2015.
While retail sales of electricity in 2014 are almost exactly identical to such sales in 2007, measured in kilowatthours purchased, the cost of that electricity has gone up over 18% over the same period as coal's role is being deliberately curtailed.
