The future of the Murdoch media dynasty, a powerful empire that has shaped conservative politics across the English-speaking world for decades, is about to be hashed out in an unlikely venue: a nondescript probate court in Reno, Nevada. Surrounded by parking lots and across the road from a business named “Bail Bonds Unlimited”, it is this courthouse in downtown Reno where Rupert Murdoch and his eldest son Lachlan are set to face off against three of his other children: James, Elisabeth and Prudence. Murdoch, 93, wants to change the trust he set up in 1999 which grants each of the...

In the event that Biden resigns or is removed from office, Vice-President Kamala Harris ascends to the presidency. The position of vice-president then becomes vacant, and the next in line is Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. We know the normal process for selecting a veep: Presidential nominee chooses a vice-president at the convention; then, voters elect the "ticket". However, what is the process for naming a new vice-president between election cycles? Can the "sitting" president just install whomever they want, or is approval from congress needed, like with Supreme Court justices, cabinet members and other appointments? As I recall...

Advocates for Texas' secession from the United States believe they are on the verge of scoring a crucial victory.The Texas Republican Party's executive committee is set to vote over the weekend on which ballot propositions voters will decide during the Republican primary elections in March 2024. One measure would ask Republican voters, "Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?"Ahead of the vote, the Texas Nationalist Movement, an organization that supports Texas' independence from the U.S., warned the GOP they have enough signatures to force a vote on the question of whether they support secession.Texas nationalists...

So Speaker Johnson is NOW 3rd inline to be POTUS, after listening to him on Hannity last night I think he was put there for a reason.He came out of nowhere.

Just a reminder to all concerned. The actual Speaker of the House is not yet selected and named. (Interim is holding the gavel as we replace McCarthy.) Presidential line of succession then is the VP, then the Senate Leader. Schumer. (I wonder if he - or Newsome - realize this yet.)

(Jun. 16, 2023) — Every now and then a “left field” idea strikes your humble servant. The term “left field” is used because to many, the idea would seem so far-fetched and improbable that it could never come to pass in reality. But the only way to ensure failure is to forego the attempt altogether. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/06/16/a-modest-proposal-4-0/

Much has been written about a National divorce. IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be...

To judge by the passions and interests of the Twitterati and those who dominate the cultural conversation in the United States, you would think the most important, most beloved, most addictive show on television is HBO’s “Succession.” Its third-season premiere in October was watched by 1.8 million people — an all-time high for the show (so says The Hollywood Reporter) that was “driven largely by digital platforms and HBO Max in particular.” If you learned about America’s cultural habits only from the Twitterati, you would never know that the most important, most beloved and most addictive show on television —...

It’s like some creepy horror story: Whenever Biden gives a speech, there’s an almost spectral figure standing behind him. It doesn’t take too much imagination to liken that figure to Grim Reaper, waiting for Biden’s appointment with his final destiny. Of course, it’s not the Grim Reaper; it’s merely Kamala Harris, who’s clearly being prepped to take over as president in Biden’s place as soon as possible. As part of this obvious agenda, Harris is already handling some of Joe’s major foreign policy telephone calls. Here are screenshots of multiple Biden appearances during his first three weeks in the White...

On his radio program yesterday, Rush Limbaugh indicated his belief that our country may be trending towards secession by some states. From the story at Mediaite: Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday that the U.S. may be “trending toward secession.” As Limbaugh talked about liberal cities like New York and San Francisco, he took up a question of whether “we can win the culture.” “I actually think — and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this — I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said....

Maybe it's time to do what India did Self | 1/30/2014 | Gort_Klaatu Posted on 1/30/2014, 8:28:50 AM by Gort_Klaatu With the current movement of the Republican establishment to push for amnesty for the 11,000,000 or more illegal immigrants we have here in the U.S. it might be time to save as much of our country as we can before it is all taken away. If these illegals are allowed citizenship then the Democrats will have effectively eliminated the two party system and we will have full blown socialism headed towards a dictatorship which I believe has been the plan...

Is America “trending towards secession”? Conservative radio legend Rush Limbaugh got into some hot water last week for daring to attempt to answer that question. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably heard about it. From Media Matters to Geraldo Rivera to every left-of-center blue-check Twitter account, critics were basically accusing the legendary broadcaster of treason, even though he never explicitly endorsed the concept himself. It’s a far cry from only four years ago, of course, when the “Calexit” movement made news as a novel concept put forth by lovable, if a bit rambunctious, leftists frustrated at the...

Amid Thursday’s over-hyped brouhaha about Jeff Sessions meeting with the Russian ambassador, a curious detail emerged. In Sessions's recusal memo, it was explained who at the Justice Department would be handling any investigations into the Trump campaign's alleged ties to Russia. "Consistent with the succession order for the Department of Justice, Acting Deputy Attorney General and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente shall act as and perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to any matters from which I have recused myself to the extent they exist," reads Sessions's official statement on the matter....

New Civil War I believe Trump will win this election battle and his next of his four years will be like the American Civil War (1860-1864). It will be four years of Trump waging Civil War II mostly against big business, Big Tech (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.), the deep state and the mainstream media. It will not be typically a battle involving geography, as North vs. South in the first Civil War (despite the idea of coastal vs. flyover territory). It will be a battle mostly fought in the courts. It will be a battle to preserve the intuitions that...

It was speculated North Korea's leader was in "grave danger" following heart surgery. Seoul's top office reaffirmed they weren't aware of anything out of the ordinary with Kim Jong-un's health. But a new report out of Japan claims the regime has been preparing a contingency plan for a leadership succession since late last year. Hong Yoo has the full story. Kim Jong-un's lack of recent public appearances, and the speculation surrounding his well-being, has raised the question of 'who will be the next in charge?'. The spotlight is now on Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong. .....

The idea of secession needs to become acceptable, before it can happen. Right now most Americans are of the opinion that the Civil War “decided” the matter of secession. In other words they buy into the “might makes right” theory of politics. So even in States where one might hope it would be possible to form a political movement for secession, there is almost zero support for it. People who call for it are branded as kooks. The most common refrain in dismissing them is “that was settled in the Civil War.” Therefore, those who favor the deconstruction of the...
