Former Gov. Chris Christie will campaign with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp next week as the conservative governor works to fend off a primary challenge from Trump-backed former GOP Sen. David Perdue. Christie, a former two-term governor of New Jersey and a former chair of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) who ran unsuccessfully for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, will team up with Kemp at a bus tour stop in Canton and at a get out the vote rally in Alpharetta during his trip to Georgia next Tuesday, May 17, Fox News has learned.

Yes, this is satire, based on the ridiculous hyperbole I've seen streaming through my feed this week ... Relax. No one is "Coming for your abortions." No one wants to pry your abortions from your cold, dead hands. They're just asking for "Common Sense Abortion Controls." Simple, basic things like universal background checks (on both parents), waiting periods, a restriction on multiple purchases ("No one needs to buy more than one abortion every five years!"), adding both of your names to a national publicly-searchable database, and the ability to enforce "Red Flag" laws to keep you from having sex if...

Two state GOP staffers were fired Tuesday after the disclosure of a possible ballot harvesting operation in southern Philadelphia. The jobs of Shamus O'Donnell, 27 and C.J. Parker, 24, were terminated after dozens of Republican ballots for the May 17 primary addressed to voters were sent to a P.O. Box registered to a political action committee, called the Republican Registration Coalition, instead, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which broke the story about the delivery last week. O'Donnell, who was a field organizer for the state GOP, and Parker, a personal aide to state party Chairman Lawrence Tabas, were affiliated with...

Abstract Abortion is largely accepted even for reasons that do not have anything to do with the fetus' health. By showing that (1) both fetuses and newborns do not have the same moral status as actual persons, (2) the fact that both are potential persons is morally irrelevant and (3) adoption is not always in the best interest of actual people, the authors argue that what we call ‘after-birth abortion’ (killing a newborn) should be permissible in all the cases where abortion is, including cases where the newborn is not disabled.

Marc Elias, the left's go-to attack dog, is laughed out of court, accused of lying to the special counsel, and on the losing end of several voting-rights cases It's not every day that a federal judge calls a lawsuit from one of the country's top lawyers a nasty and partisan "Hail Mary pass" intended to undermine free and fair elections. But that's what happened on Wednesday when U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan, a Clinton appointee, tossed out a lawsuit brought by Democratic superlawyer Marc Elias. "In the 102 years since my father, then a Ukrainian refugee, came into this country,...

Sen. McConnell: You can't nominate unacceptable people. Dick Morris: "So he pretends to protect a Senate majority when in fact what he's trying to do is stack it with his guys from top to bottom." - via STINCHFIELD on Newsmax.

It is getting much more expensive to transport and store goods, a signal the economy may not yet have hit the peak of inflation. Producer Price Indexes for April showed “final demand” prices for transportation and warehousing jumped 3.7 percent compared with a month earlier. Compared with a year ago, prices in the sector are up 20.8 percent. The skyrocketing prices for transportation also call into question the effectiveness of the policies of Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. The PPIs contain data on prices for the full set of goods and services produced in the U.S.—including prices charged...

As Twitchy noted Wednesday, the rending of garments over the “far-right” using the homophobic slur “groomer” has begun again, with outlets like NPR and PolitiFact getting in on the act. We’d thought the controversy had died out, but for some reason, liberals want to dredge it up again, seeing as it worked so well for them in Florida. In fact, holier-than-thou Matthew Dowd recently tweeted that if Jesus Christ were alive today, he would be called a groomer by conservatives. Anti-critical race theory warrior Christopher Rufo has recently been smeared as homophobic for some of his recent posts and that...

Ohio Republican Senate candidate J.D. Vance, running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH), says the nation’s ruling class is interested in preserving its “managed decline” of the United States by weakening former President Trump’s tariffs on China. During an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Daily, Vance detailed how Washington, DC, lawmakers, bureaucrats, and corporate special interests have kept the U.S. in a “managed decline” for decades while profiting for themselves. “I use this phrase a lot on the campaign trail, managed decline,” Vance said. “It feels sometimes like our leaders are just slowly allowing the country to slip into...

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to “do his job” and prosecute pro-choice protesters outside of the homes of U.S. Supreme Court justices. Sears, noting that Garland moved to arrest parents for speaking out at school board meetings, accused Democrats of picking and choosing who they went after. She said allowing the protests over the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade was “mob rule.” “We’re not tolerating it,” Sears said of the protests. “In fact, our governor has had state police outside of the homes this whole time from the very first time it started....

President Biden ripped Donald Trump by calling him "The Great MAGA King," but the right wing instead embraced the term, while some midterm Democratic candidates hedged on whether they want Biden's support, the panel on "The Five" discussed Thursday. At a reported $30,000-per-head fundraiser for Democrats, Biden bragged about reportedly decreasing the federal deficit by a record amount, criticizing Trump for instead ballooning it: "Under my predecessor, the great MAGA king, the deficit increased every single year he was president," Biden said, only days after he branded his opposition "ultra-MAGA." In response, Trump co-opted the nickname, posting a meme to...

Critics are blasting Kentucky Derby-winning horse trainer Eric Reed for a tweet critical of Vice President Kamala Harris. Reed trained the second-biggest long shot in nearly 150 years of Derby history, but the notoriety has also brought attention to Reed’s social media history. One tweet in particular is raising hackles. On ESPN’s Outside the Lines, host John Barr asked Reed if he had written a tweet describing Harris’ job qualifications as being “good on her knees.” Reed’s response did not confirm or deny that he had written the tweet. “I haven’t seen anything about it,” Reed told Barr. “Haven’t been...

Democrat Rep. Katie Porter of California offered an astounding argument for her pro-abortion views when she said that more abortions would ease the strain of inflation. Porter made the comments while appearing on "The Last Word" on MSNBC Thursday. "President Biden has said that inflation is the number one priority for the Biden White House to try to get under control right now," said host Lawrence O'Donnell. "As you are out there in California talking to constituents during this reelection year for congress, how does inflation compare to this newly important, in the sense of the Supreme Court decision pending,...

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) blocked the passage of the $39.8 billion House-passed Ukraine aid after Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) presented a unanimous consent on behalf of himself and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell today. Schumer urged Paul to pass the bill and claimed that the Senator from Kentucky wanted to add certain changes directly to the bill, which have been opposed by members of both parties. “He is not even asking for an amendment. He is simply saying my way or the highway,” Schumer said. Paul asserted that the aid amount will almost equal the entire military budget of Russia...

@RandPaul My oath of office is to the U.S. Constitution, not to any foreign nation. Congress is trying yet again to ram through a spending bill – one that I doubt anyone has actually read – and there’s no oversight included into how the money is being spent. All I requested is an amendment to be included in the final bill that allows for the Inspector General to oversee how funds are spent. Anyone who is opposed to this is irresponsible. While I sympathize with the people of Ukraine, and commend their fight against Putin, we cannot continue to spend...

Even though Memorial Day is three weeks away, Chicago police officials are ramping up staffing to head off possible holiday weekend violence later this month. An internal CPD memo obtained by the ABC7 I-Team Monday night, and now being read at police district roll calls, orders that all days off be canceled for one full week between May 24 and 31. Officers may also be put on 12-hour work shifts during that time "if operational needs arise," according to the memo. It is expected that downtown retail corridors will get special attention during that period as well. CPD has increased...

A mother has been left fuming after her 12-year-old daughter's teacher invited her to an after-school arts club that was actually a gender and identity group. Erin Lee, whose child was at Wellington Middle School in Colorado up until this year, slammed Jenna Riep for getting the youngster to go to the Genders & Sexualities Alliance event. She told how her daughter came home and revealed a speaker told them they may be transgender if they were not comfortable in their bodies. The horrified mother claimed they also asked kids who they were sexually attracted to and informed they could...

The Joe Biden regime is reeling from controversy because its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been caught actively shutting down some of America’s baby formula supply by shutting down an Abbott Nutrition plant in Sturgis, Michigan nearly three months ago. America is now facing a baby formula shortage. The FDA is reportedly only willing to allow some of the backed-up baby formula from Abbott to get out to the public after a bacterial infection outbreak that Abbott denies responsibility for. I discussed the manipulated baby formula shortage crisis on Thursday’s Stew Peters Show. A Biden White House official named...

This article will examine the forces shaping President Joe Biden’s approach to the Ukraine crisis, and then move on to explore the state of foreign policy debate, or lack thereof, within Biden’s Democratic Party.
