    LAWFARELAND GETS NERVOUS. This newsletter has noted that the elected Democrats, Biden DOJ-appointed prosecutors, legal activists, and others who have filed criminal charges and lawsuits against former President Donald Trump have crafted a multiple-redundant line of attack. If one case fails, there is another to back it up, and if that case fails, there is another to back it up, and so on. There are four criminal cases against the former president, all charging him with felonies. At the beginning of this week, there were 91 felony counts against Trump, but a judge in the Georgia prosecution threw out some...

    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine "needs to think" about how to hold presidential elections, because at the moment they are prohibited by law during wartime. Source: Zelenskyy in an interview for British TV programme Channel 4 News Quote: "I haven’t postponed [the elections – ed.], it happens automatically. I’m just not able to hold them now, primarily because of the law which forbids me from doing it. It doesn’t just forbid me from holding elections, but all institutions in general. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine [the Ukrainian Parliament – ed.] has to vote and give a mandate for...
  • Biden Now Publicly Engaging in Election Interference, 100 Percent Impossible to Deny

    President Joe Biden can attempt to deny that he has now publicly engaged in election interference, but no thinking American voter is going to buy that argument. Of course, he was only following in the footsteps of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who in a Senate floor speech on Thursday said that it was time for new elections in Israel. “As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me: The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7,” Schumer said, referring to the attack by Hamas that targeted and killed hundred of Israeli...

    The machines. Dominion has sued so many people they have crushed discussion to nothing. But the machines are everything and it is how they steal every election, everywhere. And it’s not just Dominion, it’s all of them, ES&S, Smartmatic. They are linked in a network where people, thousands of them, work inserting votes here, eliminating votes there, figuring out how many more votes they need for someone to win, and when to trigger the mules in early voting. They know to the minute when to summon the truckloads of ballots into the warehouse the night of the election. The operators...

    SALT LAKE CITY — Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville renewed his endorsement of Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs on Friday at an event with Utah Republican delegates ahead of the state GOP convention in April. Tuberville stood at the dais of Layton's Faith Baptist Church and encouraged the assembly of more than 150 state and county delegates to throw their support behind Stagg's bid to replace Sen. Mitt Romney. The former Auburn University football coach said he needed Staggs — "a Trump guy" — to join him, Sen. Mike Lee and a group of 15 to 18 other senators who will "follow...

    On Friday, Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis will be allowed to continue to persecute former President Trump and his co-defendants for trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. The only condition Ms. Willis has to meet is to persuade her sex-partner Nate Wade to withdraw from the case. Judge McAfee explained that "the testimony I've heard over the past two weeks confirms that both Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade lied under oath in their attempt to conceal both the illicit affair and the fiscal impropriety of the payments...

    Former President Trump is on the road back to the White House as all polls point to his 2024 victory. According to a CNN electoral map, Trump can win the 2024 presidential election without securing enough votes for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Candidates need 270 electoral votes to win the presidential election. The map indicated that Trump would secure 272 votes, while President Joe Biden only secure 225. Despite CNN, a far-Left news outlet, undermining Trump’s ability to win the election, the outlet cannot deny that Biden is nowhere near having enough support to serve another four years in the...

    It's a sham.' Supervisor Tim Garman discusses controversial elections commission ....SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Questions continue to surround Shasta County’s Election Commission. On Tuesday evening, commissioner Dawn Duckett shared on Facebook that she was resigning from her position, calling it, "not a valuable use of my time," and, "counterproductive to the needs of the community." Earlier that same day, during a Shasta County supervisor meeting, District 2 Supervisor Tim Garman—who appointed Duckett to the commission—made a motion to disband the commission entirely. The motion was voted down by the board's majority, 3-2.. ... ....Following this discussion and Monday’s eventful election...

    Next week’s special election to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has another layer of intrigue, after The Associated Press projected that the November general election will feature McCarthy’s chosen successor running against another Republican. Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux secured the second general election spot on Wednesday, eclipsing Democrat Marisa Wood and setting a November matchup with state Assembly member Vince Fong, a former McCarthy aide. The results set the stage for the March 19 special election to fill out McCarthy’s unexpired term. Whoever emerges from that race — whether next week or in a potential May 21 runoff...

    SHASTA COUNTY, Calif. — Although it has no power to make decisions, Shasta County's Elections Commission brought out plenty of opinions this afternoon during the board of supervisors meeting including calls for it to be disbanded. There was a red color scheme in part of the board chambers this morning. The people wearing red were there in support of supervisor Mary Rickert who was asked to explain her license plate number of "666", a number considered satanic by some Christians, at the last board meeting by district two candidate Laura Hobbs. Rickert told the Northstate’s News Mike Mangas she appreciated...

    SHASTA COUNTY, CALIF. — After the chaos that erupted at the Shasta County Election Advisory Commission's Monday meeting, the Northstate's News wanted to take a closer look at what exactly the commission has been doing. At the most recent meeting, on Monday, a large portion of meeting time was taken up by either members of the public offering praise or condemnation of the group. “Bev I don’t think you did anything illegal," said one woman. “A mandated hand count in the State of California? That’s illegal," said another local. However, as the commission moved into discussing the controversial ad Commissioner...
  • Moderate vs. conservative: Kane County's GOP faces a defining county board primary (Illinois next Tuesday)

    Daily Herald ^ | 3/12/24 | James Fuller
    Half of the Kane County Board is up for election this cycle. With the reshuffling of county board districts after the 2020 Census, a return to the days of majority Republican rule is unlikely. But the March primary will serve as a crucible for the local GOP. Several self-described moderate incumbent Republicans face opposition from peers who have aligned themselves with the arguably more conservative political positions of former President Donald Trump. Since Trump’s loss in 2020, a faction of local Republicans has commandeered public comment periods at most county board meetings. They’ve unleashed a torrent of concerns ranging from...

    In a week, Ohio voters will cast their ballots in the state’s presidential primary. Outside a catastrophic event, though, there’s no doubt which candidates will represent their parties come November. Democrat Joe Biden doesn’t face a credible challenger and Republican Donald Trump will likely sew up the nomination this week. For races down the ticket that could be a troubling prospect or a golden opportunity. State of the race The presidential contest drives turnout, and particularly for candidates aligned with Trump, drafting in the former president’s wake could help them secure victory. But if Trump has already won, will his...

    Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, believes anti-Donald Trump Republicans helped to swing the 2020 election—and can help keep him out of the White House in this year's vote. On Tuesday, the group launched a $50 million ad campaign featuring testimonials from former Trump supporters, the Hill reports. The testimonials, which can be seen on the group's website, will air on multiple platforms in battleground states including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

    House Democrats' discharge petition on legislation providing aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan opened for lawmakers' signatures on Tuesday morning. Why it matters: It's an effort to bypass House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) as he refuses to put the Senate's bipartisan foreign aid bill on the House floor for a vote.
