Tim Scott favorite to replace Jim DeMint after move to Heritage

Washington Post:
The choice of who will replace Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) for the next two years rests with one person and one person alone: Nikki Haley.

And it’s much harder to handicap an appointment than an election.

But when it comes to the choice before Haley, one candidate quickly stands out as making a whole lot of sense to join the upper chamber: Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.).

“The only way that she doesn’t pick Tim Scott is if she picks herself,” said South Carolina GOP strategist Wesley Donehue. “It makes all the sense in the world.”

Haley, I would pick Scott.

What the plan does offer are multibillion-dollar gifts to state governments, teachers unions, and the environmental lobby, with such gems as a $6 billion program to "weatherize modest-income homes." In contrast, Mr. Price and company have drawn up their own plan, the "Economic Recovery and Middle...

Obamagate, The Movie

WND: The Irish-born filmmaking couple Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinny are known for their film  "Gosnell,"  which exposed the seamy underside of the abortion industry by turning transcripts and evidence from the trial of the Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell into a cinematic drama. Now, in yet another effort to counter a conventional narrative with first-hand evidence, they're about to release  "Obamagate: The Movie,"  showing how the Obama administration tried to take down Donald Trump.They turned gripping testimony from the 2014 Michael Brown case into a play, called  "Ferguson."   And lately they did the same with the infamous texts of FBI agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page in  "FBI Lovebirds: Undercovers,"  starring Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson. "We would be unemployed if the media did its job," McAleer told WND in an interview. "They're not reporting spin anymore," he said of the establ...
