Very interesting.

News is out tonight that GOP Rep. Thad McCotter will file paperwork to run for President of the United States tomorrow! McCotter will reportedly announce his candidacy on July 2:

POLITICO: Thaddeus McCotter will file paperwork on Friday to become the eighth Republican candidate for president, a McCotter adviser told POLITICO.

McCotter spent four days in Iowa this week and came away “feeling positive” about his reception, the adviser said. His presidential campaign website will go live around noon tomorrow, allowing the four-term Michigan congressman to kick off his long-shot bid on the first day of the new fundraising quarter.

His presidential committee, dubbed McCotter 2012, will start out with funds in the six figures, according to the source. The campaign will not have to file a full fundraising report until the fall. McCotter had nearly half a million dollars in his House campaign account at the end of March.

The source said that former Iowa House Speaker Pro Tem Chris Rants will serve as McCotter’s senior adviser in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.

Rants, who endorsed Mitt Romney early in the 2008 cycle, confirmed that he spent the week introducing McCotter to Iowans and the state of the race.

“Should he decide to run, I will be on board to help him navigate the Hawkeye state,” Rants said. . . . Read More

McCotter is from Michigan, and he is a guy who could really make an impact in this race. I think he has a chance to do well in Iowa and beyond. He strikes me as a great thinker with a quick wit.

Here is a new National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) ad that destroys Obama with his own words. The ad plays audio of Obama’s arrogant attack on Congress for not “leading” and cutting out time off to get a deal done on the debt ceiling crisis. While audio of Obama’s self-righteous words is playing, images of Obama playing ping pong, drinking beer, playing golf etc. are flashed on the screen. It points out that Obama has played 76 rounds of golf during his 2+ years in the White House, taken 48 days of vacation, and held 149 fundraisers.

It concludes with the statement on the screen: “Actions speak louder than words.”

One more Glenn Beck video today. It is a follow-up to something we posted earlier in the week, when Beck told of how his family was treated when they went to New York City’s Bryant Park to watch a movie with their daughter. Beck had told of how they were harassed and a glass of wine was spilled on his wife.

It seems a woman wrote into New York Magazine to say she was there and that Beck had told falsehoods about what happened. In the video above, Beck goes through her account, and then reveals some information about her gleaned from her Twitter account and that of her friend. What they found is very interesting.

Scott Baker at The Blaze has the screenshots from the Twitter accounts and all the details.

Here is video of GOP Sen. Rand Paul speaking from the floor of the U.S. Senate today where he responded to President Obama’s chastisement of Congress yesterday during his Press Conference. Obama said the Congress needs to “cancel things” and “get it done” – referring to solving the debt ceiling crisis.

Today, Rand Paul addressed his remarks to Obama, saying, “Mr. President, we are here. We welcome you to come back to town in between fundraisers.” He had earlier said, “We are here. Where are you?”

Obama is out of Washington today doing another fundraiser in Pennsylvania. Obama chided the Congress even though he is the one who has played golf for the past 13 weekends.

Fox News Channel has announced it will replace Glenn Beck’s program with a new roundtable format show called, “The Five”:

DAILY CALLER: It would seem Glenn Beck did the work of five people on his popular Fox News show.

The fourth most-watched primetime cable channel announced that its new ensemble show, “The Five,” will replace Beck’s popular program after the final episode airs on Thursday.

The ensemble will include Fox stalwarts like Juan Williams, Dana Perino and Andrew Napolitano, as well as Bob Beckel and Monica Crowley. Greg Gutfeld, who hosts the late-night cult-hit Red Eye, is also part of the team. The “roundtable ensemble of five rotating FOX personalities … will discuss, debate and debunk the hot stories, controversies and issues of the day,” said Fox. . . . . Read More

Here is video of Glenn Beck signing off today on his last broadcast on the Fox News Channel.

Below is video of the entire final program which aired this afternoon, June 30, 2011:

Here is video of Glenn Beck on his radio show today where he went after President Obama for scolding Congress for taking too many vacations when Obama has taken “more vacations than anyone I’ve ever seen in my life!”

Beck took Obama’s Press Conference apart, pointing out the way Obama is fear-mongering. Beck said, “The American people are onto you,” agreeing with Obama that he is “transparent.”
