The top three candidates, fueled by our independent, grassroots tea party movement, take 70% of the vote in this unique Iowa caucus. Now this healthy, hearty …

Last night Ted Cruz delivered an insanely long Iowa victory speech that had even his staunchest fans begging for an end on social media. The speech was a deliberate callback to Ronald Reagan and quoted his “morning in America” promise of a conservative era.

The Iowa caucuses begin at 7pm local time and I’ll be blogging late tonight as things shake out. Make your predictions below.

The Daily Mail reports: Ted Cruz is targeting a new constituency in the final days of his Iowa campaign: Happy Meal lovers.”Let me say something to the school-aged kids here,” he said during a rally tonight in Des Moines. “If Heidi Cruz becomes the next first lady, French fries are coming back to the cafeteria.” Cruz rolled out the line …

Hate group leader Tony Perkins appeared on Fox Business this morning to flog Ted Cruz, whom Perkins promises won’t “trample further upon the Constitution” – unlike our current Marxist Kenyan usurper. The anchor then quizzed Perkins about Trump’s flip-flopping on abortion rights, which Perkins promptly side-stepped to talk more about Cruz. Watch below.

Remember how Todd Starnes screamed that the state of Oregon had “stolen from God” when it seized the “tithing account” of the anti-gay Oregon bakers? Remember how Rafael Cruz declared that non-tithing Christians were stealing from God? As it turns out, Rafael’s son is also totally robbing White Jesus. Warren Throckmorton writes: In 2010, Cruz reported just over $2 million …

This came in last night from the Democratic National Committee: “This morning, one washed-up reality star running for president said he would appoint judges who would overturn marriage equality.

“The controvertible record demonstrates that Ted Cruz will be a champion for marriage while Donald Trump has abandoned the fight to preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman. It’s just as simple as that. It’s very easy for skilled politicians to create an impression on the stump that they are with you and agree with your …
