Stephen Colbert’s Speechless Moment in Announcing the Paris Attacks – Video

At the end of taping his show on Friday, Stephen Colbert broke the news to his audience in a heartfelt announcement that almost seemed to bring the host to tears.

“Folks, we end tonight’s show with a heavy heart because we taped all of tonight’s show, and then we found out about the horrific attacks in Paris today. I know not much is known right now. We do know there have been many deaths and the crisis is still ongoing.

“President Hollande declared a state of emergency and President Obama has promised that the United States will do whatever it takes to bring those terrorists to justice. We add our thoughts and prayers to everyone in Paris.”

“And now, we’ll see you on Monday,” Colbert said, looking off to the side then sighing, before saying, “Goodnight.”

Hillary Clinton to Announce Her Candidacy for President This Weekend

Some reports say the announcement will come at noon on Saturday via a tweet on Twitter,  but CNN is reporting that Sunday will be the big day when the former Secretary of State will make a video announcement.

Clinton has already filmed her campaign video, a person close to the campaign said, which outlines the central themes of her second bid for the White House. The message is intended to send a signal to Democrats that she intends to aggressively fight for the party’s presidential nomination.

A new epilogue of her book, “Hard Choices,” an excerpt of which was released Friday to the Huffington Post, offers a glimpse into why she is embarking on another presidential campaign. She writes about her new granddaughter, Charlotte, and calls for equal opportunity for her generation.

“Becoming a grandmother has made me think deeply about the responsibility we all share as stewards of the world we inherit and will one day pass on,” Clinton, 68, writes in the epilogue. “Rather than make me want to slow down, it has spurred me to speed up.”

The decision will sweep aside more than a year of speculation about her political aspirations and allow her to start making her case to voters.

Report: Students Had to Attend Cruz’s Announcement Or Face Fines

Shock and Awe? No, not really. It would be shock and awe if you didn’t know who you are dealing with. These are Republicans and we have learned not to put anything past these folks. Today, Ted Cruz announced a run for the presidency and now we are learning that the audience he spoke to were only there to avoid being fined.

Sen. Ted Cruz took the stage to declare his presidential candidacy at Liberty University Monday, surrounded by upwards of 10,000 cheering students. They weren’t all here by choice.

Attendance at convocation at Liberty is mandatory, and a group of students clad in “Stand With Rand” shirts sat center stage—directly in view of the cameras—to log their displeasure with having to be here.

“Of course, you want it to appear as if you have a large audience,” said Eli McGowan, who organized the not-so-subtle protest. “We felt like if we didn’t wear shirts showing our true political preference then the media might think we all supported Cruz.”

“They make you come. If you don’t come, you get punished,” said Ana Delgado, a sophomore, who said students face a $10 fine for not showing up at convocation. Delgado wasn’t among those wearing Paul gear. She is undecided about who she’ll support in 2016, but she didn’t like being forced to be part of Cruz’s announcement.

Chris Christie Answered Again… No! Now Stop Asking!

Chris Christie delivered his keynote address tonight from the Reagan Library, speaking to a group of Republicans and reporters eager to know if he was going to change his mind and run for the Republican nomination to take on President Obama. However, after delivering his speech, the question apparently went unanswered.

Then came the short question segment from the audience. The first question was from a woman who asked  Christie what would he do to improve the economy. Boring.

The second audience member however, asked the question everyone wanted an answer to – are you running for President?

Christie’s answer to that question, was to direct the audience member and everyone watching to the video below. According to Christie, this is his answer to the question.
