Demonstrably anti-woke 2024 Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was back in the news on Friday, and unlike some other presidential candidates, when the 37-year-old multibillionaire entrepreneur makes news, it’s good news — for the Republican Party, that is, assuming the GOP pays attention.As I suggested in a Wednesday article titled This Beat-Down’s for You, Bud: Vivek Ramaswamy Blasts Dylan Mulvaney Madness and ‘Gender Insanity Cult’, Ramaswamy is already turning heads.Obviously brilliant, Ramaswamy’s crisp articulation of the issues and ability to incisively communicate his positions has gained national attention for one simple reason: He means what he says, he’s not afraid...

Republican 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley raised $11 million in the first six weeks of her campaign, according to a report on Wednesday — only slightly more than former President Donald Trump took in over five days since his indictment. Haley, the US ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, ​told Fox News that the contributions reflected the strength of her grassroots support, as she received 70,000 separate donations from all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Her campaign noted that 67,000 of those donations were under $200. ​Haley, who launched her presidential run on Feb. 14​,...

Liberal activists are targeting Nikki Haley with false claims about her real name and claiming she is trying to hide behind her race "to fit in" and "kowtowing" to "white folks." SNIP Haley has for years faced attacks for not using her first name, but she has gone by her middle name, Nikki, since she was a child. In 2021, PolitiFact called the assertion that Haley "whitewashed" her name a "pants-on-fire" falsehood. SNIP After Haley announced her presidential bid, journalists from prominent media outlets such as CNN, ABC and MSNBC quickly launched a wave of attacks against her — including...

(Feb. 15, 2023) — As she suggested in recent interviews, on Tuesday former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nimrata Nikki Haley (R) announced she will seek the 2024 Republican nomination for president. Earlier this month multiple sources reported Haley would officially launch her campaign on February 15, an event scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Wednesday in Charleston, SC, CNBC reported Tuesday. As an apparent Trump loyalist at the time, Haley had pledged not to seek the nomination if Trump himself were a candidate. Trump declared his 2024 candidacy on November 15. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/02/15/haley-announces-ramaswamy-may-seek-nomination/

Nikki Haley fails the three legged stool test! (Jan. 30, 2023) — Both of Nikki Haley’s parents were not U.S. Citizens when Nikki was born. Nikki Haley was born to a Citizen of India father (minus one stool leg) and to a Citizen of India mother (minus the 2nd stool leg). The normal path to becoming a naturalized U.S. Citizen takes five years. Nikki Haley was born in 1972 . Her father and mother emigrated from India to Canada and then to the USA in 1969. Thus there was not sufficient time for either of Nikki’s parents to become naturalized...

Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter Well, that's a relief. I thought Trump lost, but he says he won the presidency in 2020, which means he can't run again. "Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice." U.S. Const. Amend. xxii, sec. 1 5:55 AM · Apr 24, 2022

Former New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who left the liberal newspaper after 37 years to run for Oregon governor only to be ruled ineligible, has vowed to challenge the "politically motivated" decision and predicted he would still win the election. "A failing political establishment in Oregon has chosen to protect itself, rather than give voters a choice. We will challenge this decision in court, and we are confident we will prevail, because the law is on our side," Kristof tweeted on Thursday following Oregon Secretary of State Shemia Fagan’s announcement that the former liberal columnist failed to meet the...

Vice President Kamala Harris made history once again by becoming the first woman and Asian American to gain presidential power after President Joe Biden underwent a routine colonoscopy on Friday morning, according to the White House. Transfer of power: Harris, the first Black and South Asian vice president of the United States, became the commander in chief for nearly an hour and a half. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement that Harris took on presidential duties in her West Wing office while Biden, 78, went under anesthesia for the procedure around 9 a.m. local time at...

If the Constitution were construed in accordance with its plain and intended meaning, there would be no question but that every member of Congress who is a self-described socialist would be ineligible to hold federal or state legislative, executive, and judicial office. Among self-avowed socialists serving in Congress are Democratic Socialists of America members Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; Rashida Tlaib; Cori Bush; and Jamaal Bowman. Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar likewise describe themselves as “democratic socialists.” None is eligible to be in office under Article VI, Clause 3 of the Constitution. Moreover, legislators, executives, and jurists on the state and...

There are a lot of moving parts and perhaps conflicting factors in why Senator Kamala Harris is the favorite in 2024 U.S. presidential odds. She’s currently the vice president-elect with Joe Biden, who just won the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Harris would be the favorite primarily due to Biden’s age and potentially the 25th Amendment. The former vice-president turns 78 later this month and would be 82 by the time the 2024 election comes around. Nobody should want to see Biden have any health issues but the reality is that a man of that age is more prone to health...

On Monday, a report was issued indicating that among 353 U.S. counties, 1.8 million more voters might have been registered than eligible voting-age citizens. Judicial Watch (JW) revealed the results of their 2020 study showing that the total in the counties of registration rates surpassed 100% of eligible voters. The eight states where state-wide registration rates exceeded 100% included Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont. “The September 2020 study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves. This data was then compared to the Census Bureau’s most recent five-year population estimates,...

Both the White House and the Trump campaign on Sunday said unequivocally that Sen. Kamala Harris is eligible to serve as vice president and blamed the media for fomenting unfounded questions about the issue. “Yeah,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “This is not something that we’re going to pursue … y’all have spent more time on it than anybody in the White House has talking about this.” Trump campaign senior advisor Jason Miller said it’s not something anyone on the campaign is talking about. “In our opinion, it is case closed....

Is Kamala Harris a natural born citizen? Harris is constitutionally ineligible to be VPOTUS (12th Amendment) or POTUS (Article 2). She is not — nor can she ever be — a natural born citizen... Harris was born in Oakland, California on October 20, 1964, to an Indian citizen mother and a Jamaican citizen father. Thus, Harris is a native-born American citizen, or a citizen pursuant to what I refer to as the anchor baby provision of the 14th Amendment. Harris may be a native-born American citizen by the accident of her birth and in my opinion an erroneous 14th Amendment...

WASHINGTON – Former Vice President Joe Biden has chosen Sen. Kamala Harris of California to join him on the Democratic ticket, fulfilling his pledge to select a female running mate and making Harris the first Black person ever tapped as the vice presidential nominee of a major party.

Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Joe Biden was uncharacteristically tight-lipped on Tuesday about the final stretch of his search for a vice president. But the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee seemed prepared to talk about at least one leading contender: California Sen. Kamala Harris. As he took questions from reporters on Tuesday, Biden held notes that were captured by an Associated Press photographer. Harris’ name was scrawled across the top, followed by five talking points. “Do not hold grudges.” “Campaigned with me & Jill.” “Talented.” “Great help to campaign.” “Great respect for her.”

For a few minutes yesterday, a portion of POLITICO's profiles about Joe Biden's potential Vice President picks had Kamala Harris listed as the choice, including a quote from the announcement.
