THE PRINCE OF COUNTERTERRORISM
Muhammad bin Nayef (MBN), 56, the new crown prince and heir, is the darling of America’s counterterrorism and intelligence services, having performed several critical services for the U.S. in his capacity as deputy minister of the interior and then minister of the interior—the office that oversees all domestic security matters. Unlike his father, who preceded him in those positions, he is pro-American, almost certainly more so than any other member of the Saudi leadership. But Washington should have no illusions that MBN will take Western advice to reform the kingdom.

A Fed Up Top House Democrat Slams Republicans For Wasting America’s Time
Ways and Means Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) can hardly be blamed for blasting Republicans for failing to govern just to appease the right-wing of the Republican caucus. A right-wing that long ago jumped the reality shark and lives in dank, dark waters of epistemic closure that makes them look like raving lunatics to the rest of the country.

Rand Paul: Ted Cruz ‘Pretty Much Done For’ in Senate
Sen. Rand Paul on Tuesday said fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted. Cruz is “done for” in the Senate. “Ted has chosen to make this really personal and chosen to call people dishonest in leadership and call them names, which really goes against the decorum and also against the rules of the Senate, and as a consequence, he can’t get anything done legislatively,” Paul told Fox News Radio. “He is pretty much done for and stifled and it’s really because of personal relationships, or lack of personal relationships, and it is a problem.”

Former MLB Pitcher Curt Schilling Just Took A Stand For Ben Carson With 1 Perfect Picture

‘The View’ Was Trashing Ben Carson. Then Candace Cameron-Bure Sent A Message They Couldn’t Ignore
Despite being muzzled by The View producers on her first day, new panelist Candace Cameron-Bure is making a mark on the liberal TV show and standing up for her conservative beliefs. Even as she has been added as a panelist, Cameron-Bure has not been able to make every episode of the morning talk show because she is finishing up work on the first season of her new TV series based on the 80s show Full House. So Cameron-Bure wasn’t on set during the recent discussion of Dr. Ben Carson’s comments about the suitability of a practicing Muslim becoming president of the United States.
