Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that former ambassador Nikki Haley should drop out of the presidential race and suggested she has "sinister" motives if she doesn’t. "I think that if she stays in this race, it will continue to reveal that there are some sinister forces at work here," Ramaswamy told Fox News Digital on Tuesday afternoon as New Hampshire residents were casting their votes in the first in the nation GOP primary. "There's no path for her to defeat Donald Trump through the front door, which means what they're actually rooting for...

Nikki Haley pitched her third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses last week as a win. She attempted to do the same Tuesday night after losing the New Hampshire primary to former President Donald Trump. “What a great night,” she told a cheering crowd at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord after the Associated Press called the race for Trump. [cut] Sununu endorsed Haley in December and has crisscrossed the state with her the last several days. He introduced her at rallies, poured beers with her from behind bars, drove her from stop to stop in a red Ford Mustang. Sununu...

One of the preposterous charges made against Israel by the Palestinians is that the Jewish state “harvests the organs” from dead Palestinians. This is a variant on the medieval blood libel that accused Jews of using the blood of Christian children in making matzos. Think of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln, and William of Norwich — two children whose deaths were falsely attributed to Jews wanting to use their blood, which led to pogroms being unleashed against local Jewry in medieval England. But the Palestinian charge was apparently not preposterous enough for the Washington Post, which reported the charge as...

74 people killed in Russia plane crash, no survivor Ministry says 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war on plane that crashed

In a tragic incident, a Russian military transport plane crashed near the Ukraine border. Conflicting reports mention 65 captured Ukrainian military onboard and, separately, cargo related to air defense systems.

Football is one of the few sports that Americans can enjoy that has no presence in June, which frees the NFL from turning away fans who do not want the LGBT agenda shoved in their face. Given that the LGBT lobby has claimed the entire month for itself, other sports that operate throughout those 30 days might feel pressure to make something of “pride” month -- and they do. The NFL, an August to February sport, could easily avoid the negative feedback from fans but has decided to go another route. The league announced Monday it will host an event...

Bank of America (BAC) has made headlines by announcing layoffs of approximately 20 bankers in Asia, marking the first major downsizing move in 2024. The decision comes as China and Hong Kong markets continue to underperform, leading to a growing bearish sentiment among smart money players. This move sets the tone for potential shifts in the financial landscape as major institutions respond to market challenges. The economic landscape is painted with shades of concern as the Richmond Fed Survey reveals three consecutive declines. The performance post-lockdowns has experienced a downward trajectory since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This trend...

A suburban lawmaker outside Chicago proposed that residents be able to sign up to host migrants in their homes, noting that, "We do have a very affluent community." Naperville, Illinois, Councilman Josh McBroom voiced the notion during a city council meeting last week, and a conservative account reacted to the clip on X on Tuesday. "In light of the fact, I’m not going to support using other people’s money to house or aid – I do know that there’s a lot of people that do care, and I think we live in a compassionate community, so before we go down...

President Joe Biden won New Hampshire’s largely symbolic Democratic primary on Tuesday, prevailing in an unusual write-in effort after he refused to campaign or appear on the state ballot. Biden easily bested two longshot challengers, Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips and self-help author Marianne Williamson, who were on the ballot along with a host of little-known names. His victory in a race he was not formally contesting essentially cements the president’s grasp on the Democratic nomination for a second term. The New Hampshire race will likely not count toward amassing delegates for the presidential nomination after Democrats in the state bucked...

I don't know how others know when the primaries are but I thought this was a nice reference.

A new Defense Department inspector general report reveals that a little-known in-house pharmacy at the White House erroneously dolled out prescription medications to staff and wasted $750,000 in taxpayer money. One former pharmacy staff member told investigators that a doctor once asked if the staffer could "hook up" someone with a controlled substance "as a parting gift for leaving the White House." The report, according to an article in Stat News, revealed that the pharmacy office dispensed controlled medications like Ambien and Provigil without verifying the patient’s identity. Stat reported that in an office in the White House there was...

Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips vowed to press on after garnering about 21 percent of the vote in Tuesdsay's Democratic primary in New Hampshire. Phillips and self-help guru Marianne Williamson were the only Democrats to appear by name on the Granite State ballot due to the Democratic National Committee's decision to skip over New Hampshire and make South Carolina first. As soon as polls closed at 8 p.m., CNN and The Associated Press almost immediately called the race for President Joe Biden, as his supporters mounted a write-in campaign in the state. 'Joe Biden is a good man. He is a...

HALEY: With Donald Trump. Republicans have lost almost every competitive election. We lost the Senate. We lost the House. We lost the White House. We lost in 2018. We lost in 2020, and we lost in 2022. The worst-kept secret in politics is how badly the Democrats want to run against Donald Trump. CROWD: Trump’s a loser! He’s a loser! HALEY: They know Trump is the only Republican in the country who Joe Biden can defeat. You can’t fix the mess if you don’t win an election. A Trump nomination is a Biden win and a Kamala Harris presidency. I...

A disgruntled passenger was removed for farting excessively on an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to Austin last week, it has been claimed. The early evening flight from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona to the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas was forced to return to its gate and delayed by 15 to 30 minutes, according to a passenger who was on the flight said. The Texas-based traveler wrote on Reddit: 'I was on a direct American flight from Phoenix to Austin and I was seated near the row where this situation occurred.' The Reddit poster described the...

CNN — The voters who turned out for New Hampshire’s GOP presidential primary on Tuesday were less staunchly conservative and less closely tied to the Republican Party than the electorate in last week’s Iowa caucuses, according to the early results of CNN’s exit poll. But even in a state less naturally inclined to serve as a stronghold for former President Donald Trump, GOP primary voters proved largely willing to embrace him over his remaining rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. About two-thirds of New Hampshire GOP primary voters described themselves as conservative, according to the early results of the...

Don’t take it just from me. Here are direct quotes from WSJ editorial board tonight. It’s all hiding in plain sight: “If she can remain competitive, there’s an argument for Ms. Haley to stay in the race through the July convention. Mr. Trump faces a treacherous legal road…Ms. Haley could stay in the race, rack up delegates, and see what happens if he is found guilty. “Strange things can happen with candidates who are this old and this disliked by a majority of the public. The 2024 election may have more twists before the Trump vs. Biden die is cast.”
