Several presidential hopefuls had a fourth presidential debate last night at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The debate was held on a site, NewsNation, which, despite hiring a high-profile newscaster like Megyn Kelly, many people hadn't heard of before the night. Notably absent for the fourth consecutive debate was former president Donald Trump. He's not wasting time on these debates, so why should everyone else? The Republican primary field keeps pretending that Trump isn't there. Perhaps they're hoping Trump will fall from one of the indictments in the Biden administration's unprecedented harassment of their political opposition, cynically waiting in...

With a potential rematch of Donald Trump versus Joe Biden, advertising spending is expected to hit records for the 2024 election cycle.This could be bad news for the Republican National Committee, which has reported lower political donations.What Happened: Donald Trump leads many national polls ahead of President Joe Biden and has a commanding lead over his Republican competition for the GOP nomination for the presidential election in polls.The Republican National Committee might not be able to help Trump or other candidates out as much as they have in recent elections, based on the size of its current war chest.According to...

American Jews Who Worked for a Secular America Made a Fatal Error By Dennis Prager Published November 28, 2023 Since World War II, most American Jews have believed that the more secular American society is, the more secure their status.This has been, as I have argued all of my life, a colossal error. Indeed, it may turn out to be a fatal error. With the outburst of unprecedented levels of antisemitism, American Jews are living the famous warning: "Beware what you wish for; you just may get it."The primary reason American Jews have lived in the most Jew-friendly, even Jew-honoring,...

Every viable political candidate needs a plausible path to victory. There’s never much been one for 2024 presidential aspirant Chris Christie. A two-term New Jersey governor who was emphatically unpopular in the Garden State when he left office in 2018, Christie also bombed as a presidential candidate in 2016, finishing ninth in Iowa and sixth in New Hampshire. He managed to stay in the national limelight for a while by first toadying to and then disrespecting Donald Trump. But he entered the 2024 race with a really bad reputation among Republicans, particularly the MAGA majority. One national survey taken right...

Donations to the Republican National Committee (RNC) have hit an eight-year low, sources told the Washington Post on Monday. The diminished donations raise concerns about whether or not RNC leadership is properly aligned with the party’s grassroots to counter an unpopular Democrat president seeking reelection. […] The RNC raised the lowest amount of money since former President Trump arose as the leader of the GOP, the Post reported:The Republican National Committee disclosed that it had $9.1 million in cash on hand as of Oct. 30, the lowest amount for the RNC in any Federal Election Commission report since February 2015.That...

Big hitters on Wall Street are lining up to support Nikki Haley’s long-shot bid to snatch the 2024 Republican presidential nomination from Donald Trump. “There’s a desperate, desperate hunt for anybody but Trump,” said one of the roughly 30 senior executives The Wall Street Journal spoke with to gauge the mood of the finance set roughly a year ahead of the election. While Wall Street’s die-hard Democrats are sticking with President Biden, many other financiers have been casting about for an alternative to Trump, the former president they see as too unpredictable among other concerns. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s clash...

Israel should arrest the Emir of Qatar, Erdogan and Khamenei. WHY ARE THEY NOT HELD RESPONSIBLE? Hamas would not exist without Iran, Qatar and Turkey. Iran, Qatar and Turkey provide shelter to Hamas leaders and/or finance Hamas. Why Biden looks the other way and REFUSE to impose sanctions on Iran, Qatar and Turkey? Turkey was not expelled from NATO, Qatar continues a "Major Non-NATO Ally", sanctions are not being reimposed on Iran By Ezequiel Doiny On November 13, 2023 the Washington Free Beacon reported "The Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access...

Even before Tuesday’s elections, many progressives insisted the question of whether protecting abortion rights wins elections was already asked and answered. Democrats made abortion rights the centerpiece of their campaign advertising during the 2022 midterms, a cycle where Democrats outperformed expectations, kept control of the US Senate, and staved off a red wave. Polls last year also found abortion rights to be a significantly motivating issue for both independent and Democratic voters. Abortion rights ballot measures won in all six states where they appeared in 2022, including states like Montana, Kentucky, and Kansas that otherwise elected Republican candidates.

After promising in 2016 that "for every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick up two centrist Republicans in the suburbs in Philadelphia," Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has had the last laugh repeatedly, and election night 2023 is no exception. Although the ink is still drying on the exit polls and outstanding ballots are still being counted, there is no way of getting around it: Republicans once again widely underperformed, and they did so in the races that faced the most national scrutiny. Above all, the string of disappointments suffered since 2018 makes clear that the...

I'm tending to think the Democrats have totally mastered the arts (there are various kinds) of ballot cheating...and persuading voters just isn't enough anymore. Very depressing for me. Thoughts?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans chose Rep. Mike Johnson as their latest nominee for House speaker late Tuesday, hours after an earlier pick, Rep. Tom Emmer, abruptly withdrew in the face of opposition from Donald Trump and hardline GOP lawmakers. Johnson of Louisiana, a lower-ranked member of the House GOP leadership team, becomes the fourth Republican nominee after Emmer and the others fell short in what has become an almost absurd cycle of political infighting since Kevin McCarthy's ouster as GOP factions jockey for power. Refusing to unify, far-right members won’t accept a more traditional speaker and moderate conservatives don’t want...

Why the ADL does not condemn antisemitic Hamas supporters but spends so much energy trying to censor tweeter? Former ADL Intern tore down posters of hostages taken by Hamas Terrorists. Why does the ADL calls to boycott tweeter claiming it is being used by Nazis but does not call to boycot Harvard, Cornell, Columbia where students and faculty cheer when Hamas murders Jews? Why is the ADL active calling to boycot tweeter because some Nazis post there but is silent about the much bigger problem of leftist antisemitism? Why is the ADL only concerned about antisemitism from the right but...

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird (R) endorsed former President Trump during a campaign rally in Adel, Iowa, on Monday, making her the second statewide elected official in the Hawkeye State to wade into the 2024 GOP primary. “We need a new president in the White House. I am so glad to get to be here today to introduce Donald Trump because he will secure our border. Who supports that?” she said to a crowd of Trump supporters. “He will fight the terrorists. He will fix the economy. He will stand up for agriculture, and he will uphold our Constitution and...

For some Republican voters, Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis aren’t at the top of their list for the GOP nomination in 2024. There are conservative Americans who are looking to support a different candidate in the presidential race, including Sen. Mitt Romney, who isn’t a fan of the former president. That’s where Nikki Haley enters the chat. The former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador is starting to see her star shine for what The Atlantic describes as “her chance to consolidate the anti-Trump support in the GOP.” She’s currently trailing behind Donald Trump (naturally) and DeSantis,...

To enforce "equal outcomes" (communism): Is Biden targeting small businesses the same way Stalin targeted the Kulaks during the holodomor?
