CNN reports that former Senator Rick Santorum will end his presidential bid from Pennsylvania Wednesday night. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is ending his presidential bid, two Republican sources told CNN. He is expected to make the announcement Wednesday night and will endorse a candidate. Santorum won the 2012 Iowa caucuses and ended that race with the second-most number of delegates to eventually GOP nominee Mitt Romney. But he was unable to capture any momentum this year, despite extensive barnstorming efforts in Iowa. He is the third Republican presidential candidate to drop out after Monday’s caucuses. Mike Huckabee ended his

The King of Jordan has warned his country is at ´boiling point´ because of the number of Syrian refugees and told the West to help before the ´dam bursts´. Jordan is hosting more than 600,000 of the 4.6 million Syrians who have registered with the UN as refugees since the civil war broke out in the country five years ago. But the Jordanian government says there are another one million unregistered Syrians living in the country, which has a population of 9.5 million, and fear more will arrive due to the estimated 13.5 million vulnerable and displaced people who remain

President Barack Obama on Wednesday slammed what he called ´inexcusable´ anti-Muslim rhetoric in the political sphere – a veiled jibe at Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump and others. Making his first visit to a mosque while in office, Obama praised American Muslims as upstanding citizens and thanked them for helping their community. ´Recently we´ve heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim-Americans that has no place in our country,´ Obama told the members of the Islamic Society of Baltimore, without specifically naming anyone.

Three Christian high school students will stand trial for blasphemy in Egypt Thursday on charges that they insulted Islam, after a video of the students emerged in which they allegedly mock Muslim prayers. If found guilty, the three teenagers could face up to five years in a juvenile detention center for violating the country’s strict blasphemy law. The 30-second video shows one the boys reciting Muslim prayers while another behind him laughs, as well as parodies of the students slitting each other’s throats. The boys’ teacher reportedly filmed the video in a hotel room during an overnight trip, shortly after

The National Endowment for the Humanities is spending more than $300,000 to talk about “food deserts” in Pennsylvania and sea level rise in Miami. The projects are part of the federal agency’s “Humanities in the Public Square” initiative, which awarded $3.6 million worth of grants in December. “The pressing challenges facing our nation call for dialogue and understanding,” said the agency’s chairman, William D. Adams. “There is ample evidence that communities across the nation are eager to come together to discuss the critical issues that face them as citizens and neighbors.” “Using the unique insights of the humanities, these projects

Last Friday, a new regulation was proposed by the Obama administration that will make it harder and more expensive for employers to hire and promote white males, enrich class action lawyers, and do absolutely nothing to accomplish the ostensible goal of raising the pay of women relative men. Betsy McCaughey explains in the New York Post: Claiming women aren’t getting paid enough, President Obama wants to make it easier to accuse employers of gender discrimination and hit them with class-action lawsuits.

Veteran investigative journalist Bod Woodward on Wednesday said a likely reason Hillary Clinton lost young voters in Iowa to her main Democratic rival is because she has a harsh tone that comes across as insecure. “I think a lot of it with Hillary Clinton has to do with style and delivery, oddly enough,” Woodward said on MSNBC´s “Morning Joe.” “She shouts. There is something unrelaxed about the way she is communicating.” Show co-host Joe Scarborough agreed. “Last night I was watching her and I said to myself, has nobody told her that the microphone works because she always keeps it up

One of the most dangerous effects of Donald Trump´s presidential campaign is the venomous anger his demagoguery has cultivated among his more engaged supporters, to be spewed at anyone who dares to express concern about any of their idol´s (yes, idol´s) soft spots. Just click on any article, on any website, critical of anything about Trump, and navigate to the readers´ comments. First, notice the unusually large number of them. Then observe the tone: rarely logical, thoughtful, or truly argumentative, the Trump defenders (granting honorable exceptions) simply attack — personally, irrelevantly, uncivilly — any writer or fellow commenter, no matter how

DES MOINES, Iowa — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a fiery conservative loathed by his own party´s leaders, swept to victory in Iowa´s Republican caucuses Monday, overcoming billionaire Donald Trump and a stronger-than-expected showing by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Among Democrats, Bernie Sanders rode a wave of voter enthusiasm to a virtual tie with Hillary Clinton, long considered her party´s front-runner. Cruz´s victory over Trump was a testament to his massive get-out-the-vote operation in Iowa and the months he spent wooing the state´s influential conservative and evangelical leaders. “Iowa has sent notice that the Republican nominee and next president of the United States

Monday night, Iowa’s Republicans made it clear they would not be held responsible for placing their party in the hands of an insult-comedian character assassin — choosing instead exactly the kind of combative conservative the state’s GOP almost always prefers. Also Monday night, Iowa’s Democrats made it clear that the coronation she sought is not in the cards for Hillary Clinton. There’s still no reason to believe she won’t be the party’s eventual nominee. But no matter the regular Democratic spin about how “a win is a win,” the fact that she might have only beaten Bernie Sanders by a

Get ready for a shock: there are a lot of federal employees who would not be happy about Donald Trump being the President of the United States. A new survey by Government Executive finds that 14 percent of all federal government workers would leave their posts if Trump wins the presidency, while 11 percent said they would maybe consider it. When you break it down by party, 42 percent of Democrats working in the government would consider leaving, while only 8 percent of Republicans would. But lest you think that means only a minority dislikes Trump, the survey also shows that roughly 60

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign feels whimsical, like a practical joke or publicity tour gone awry. But it turns out the Donald is running a long con. A new report in Politico suggests Trump has been plotting this stunt for years, and he knew exactly what he had to do to succeed. According to the report, Trump was approached two years ago by GOP operatives who wanted him to run for governor of New York. To their surprise, he declined but added that they would be useful when he ran for president. “I’m going to walk away with it and win outright,”

Donald Trump on Wednesday accused Ted Cruz of committing fraud, and called for a new election in Iowa. Ratcheting up his rhetoric after his loss in the Iowa caucuses on Monday, Trump first tweeted an accusation that the Texas senator had “illegally” stolen the election, before tweaking the message. “Ted Cruz didn´t win Iowa, he illegally stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong any [sic] why he got more votes than anticipated. Bad!” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning. The tweet disappeared within minutes of posting. He then put up another tweet minutes later, correcting a typo and removing the

House Speaker Paul Ryan kicked off a policy summit at the Heritage Foundation with a clear message for the conservatives who have been his allies over the years but made life hard for former Speaker John Boehner: Please don´t revolt, at least not this year. Ryan urged the Heritage crowd not to “take the bait” when Obama tries to provoke the GOP. In exchange, he promised to spend the next years preparing to push a conservative agenda, including a politically risky plan for entitlement reform, if a Republican wins the presidency in 2017. “I am fine if I lose my

The top three finishers in the Iowa Republican Caucuses told us a lot about themselves in the speeches they gave after the results came in. Donald Trump’s words following his defeat, while uncharacteristically gracious, were remarkable for their brevity. As much as Trump proclaimed that he loved the people of the Hawkeye state so much that he wanted to buy a farm there, he looked like he couldn’t wait to get the hell out as fast as he could and never set foot in Iowa ever again. By contrast, Ted Cruz didn’t want the night to end. And who could blame him?

Around The Daily Beast office, I’m known for my spot-on Bernie Sanders impersonation. To my colleagues, it seems studied, but to me, it’s just familiar. I’ve known Bernies all my life. The same is true for Bernie’s atheism. A recent profile in the The Washington Post, headlined “Why Bernie Sanders doesn’t participate in organized religion,” depicted the senator as possessing a quixotic blend of cultural Judaism, kinda-sorta belief in God, and political idealism. To many Jews, however, this mix is hardly unusual. It’s familiar as chicken soup and matzo: the basically secular, basically atheist Jewish Democratic Socialist, part of the erstwhile 20th-century

A disclaimer: Trump is not my preferred candidate. I hope he does not win the Republican nomination. But I understand why millions seem to be mesmerized by his rhetoric. I certainly wish that Trump would not insult rivals and newspeople in callous and uncouth fashion. I would prefer that he come prepared to interviews, with detailed positions rather than his banal “Make America great again” refrain, so akin to the “Hope and Change” nothingness. I notice that he often pauses in midsentence, that he interjects “awesome” and “tremendous” ad nauseam, that he completely abandons his original thought and detours to an extraneous
