• Hillary Clinton Supports One Directions' Charity Action/1D on Twitter

    Typically, when the election cycle kicks into gear, musicians are the ones endorsing politicians. And while everyone from Katy Perry to Ariana Grande have thrown their support behind Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner is throwing her support behind one pop act: One Direction and its charity initiative Action/1D.

  • 5 Cases of Ted Cruz in Music: 'The Shining,' Miley Cyrus and Criticism in The Country Genre

    Ted Cruz became the first of many Republican believed to be in pursuit of the White House during 2016, as he formally announced his name as a runner for the GOP nomination for the presidency. Scott Walker, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and several more right-leaning individuals will probably follow his lead soon enough. Let's focus on Cruz however. Admittedly, there's not much for a music site to say; he doesn't exactly play bass like former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. However, Music Times was able to hunt down five instances where Ted Cruz became a musical figure.

  • Hillary Clinton Claims Nation's Criminal Justice System is "Out Of Balance," Supports Probes of NYC and Ferguson Police Cases

    It seems like Hillary Clinton might be the only one left that isn't sure if she intends to announce a 2016 presidential campaign, but if that is on her to-do list, then the fact that she supports the U.S. Department of Justice looking into the untimely deaths of two black men at the hands of white police officers is sure to get some backing. Clinton spoke at a conference today and expressed her dismay at there being no indictment against police officers who ultimately killed Eric Garner in NYC and Michael Brown in Ferguson while in the line of duty. She was quoted as calling the system "out of balance."

  • While the Republican Party Swept the Midterms, the Political Canvas Will Likely Swing Toward the Democrats in 2016

    The Republican Party was hopeful heading into yesterday's midterm election — with good reason. President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low with even those who voted him into a second term often wondering if it was a mistake. Americans tend to favor making big, sweeping changes, and by late last night, as the numbers across the country were tallied, the Republican sweep was being referred to as a "wave."The GOP was able to seize control of the U.S. Senate by picking up at least seven seats previously held by Democrats, a wishful goal that had previously eluded them since 2006. The Republican Party also won 13 U.S. House of Representatives races, expanding its already sizable majority to at least 241 seats. That is the most seats the party has held since the days of President Herbert Hoover. The number of Republican governors will also greatly outnumber that of Democrats when Inauguration Day rolls around. People wanted change, and for now they will have it.Here's the thing: Since Americans like change so much, and it is going to take more than two years for our nation to feel different, there is a good chance that for every seat a Republican flipped last night, a Democrat will flip it back in 2016. Basically, the GOP has two years to pull off a miracle or people's rallying for change will actually put the Democrats in great shape for having serious control.

  • Hillary Clinton May Announce Her Decision About a 2016 Presidential Bid Sooner Than Expected

    Hillary Clinton has spent the last few weeks basking in the joys of finally being a grandmother, and she made it clear last month that she was not going to make a decision about whether or not she was going to run for the presidency until after the start of 2015. The time off made sense, as she wanted to focus on family, but by setting a time frame for deciding on another huge political campaign, she gave potential voters something to anticipate. That time frame might have been short lived, though, because a new report out today is saying Clinton might end up announcing her plans long before next year.

  • Hillary Clinton Fundraiser Carries $32,400 Price Tag as Buzz Intensifies Over 2016 Election Bid

In fact, in just a few short weeks Clinton will be in Los Angeles for a splashy fundraiser. Jefferey Katzenberg and Casey Wasserman will co-host the Brentwood event Oct. 20 at Tavern. The Secret Service will stand guard as the former U.S. secretary of state will be headlining the event that has a $32,400 ticket attached to it.

  • Will Ensuring Her New Grandchild's Future Prompt Hillary Clinton To Announce A Presidential Campaign For 2016?

    Hillary Clinton has wanted to be a grandmother for forever it seems. She has talked about it since before Chelsea Clinton even swapped vows with Marc Mezvinsky and once they did marry, well Hillary talked about it daily. At least that's the picture that Chelsea painted for us when she said that nearly every call with her parents included a comment or two about babies. Finally on Friday Hillary got her wish as Chelsea delivered little Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky.
