The Pennsylvania Fraternal Order of Police, Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 and the Pennsylvania State Troopers Association have officially come out in opposition to Judge Adeel Mangi's nomination to sit on the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals -- making them the latest in a long list of law enforcement organizations to oppose the nomination. “It’s an affront to all Pennsylvania law enforcement officers, active and retired, that Mr. Mangi would serve on an organization that describes a person who murdered a police officer as a ‘freedom fighter,'" the groups wrote in a letter to Senate Leadership...

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign slammed two draft resolutions *** The first resolution would mandate the RNC remain neutral in the nominating contest until he secures the necessary 1,215 delegates, while the second would ensure the party doesn’t foot his legal bills.“The primary is over and it is the RNC’s sole responsibility to defeat Joe Biden and win back the White House,” senior Trump campaign adviser Chris LaCivita said in a statement. *** Trump is also pushing for his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to serve as party co-chair, and North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley to replace Ronna McDaniel as the...

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said Thursday on “CNN This Morning” that former President Donald Trump would win the Republican presidential nomination and lose the general election. Scaramucci said, “He got 50ish percent of the vote, which means that 50% of the Republicans really don’t want him. Then when you do the exit polling, it was 43 in Iowa. 70 plus percent of the Haley voters in New Hampshire said, we’re not voting for Donald Trump in the election. That killed Hillary Clinton with the Bernie Sanders voters in ’16. Of course, Barack Obama got 75% of the...

CNN senior political commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that it is “sobering” that former President Donald Trump looks to secure the Republican presidential nomination. Network political commentator Van Jones said, “In 2020, we cleared the field for Biden. We saw this threat coming from Bernie Sanders in the eyes of the Democratic establishment, cleared the field to make sure this party didn’t become an unrecognizable version of itself. The opposite is happening now. You are clearing the field for a Donald Trump. You are clearing the field for somebody who led an...

An article by New York Post legendary gossip columnist Cindy Adams reports Barack and Michelle Obama are angling to replace Joe Biden with former First Lady Michelle as the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee. Obama world was rocked when Donald Trump short-circuited the Obama revolution to remake America when he defeated would-be Obama successor Hillary Clinton in 2016 and has taken merciless revenge on President Trump ever since. Barack Obama is thought by many to be the behind the scenes power of the Biden presidency. But with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris having some of the worst polling numbers for incumbents...

It looks like they are really going to go through with this. Democrats and anti-Trumpers have been floating the idea that they can use Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for president again.Ever since the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol building, the intelligentsia has been trying to sell everyone on this idea. Now, it appears it is being taken at least somewhat seriously. But a closer look shows that this particular gambit will be about as effective as a cocktail umbrella in a hailstorm.Several secretaries of state are already preparing...

There’s a serious potential conflict of interest given the nominee’s involvement in investigating a business run by the president’s brother.A health-care executive who claims Jim Biden defrauded him was interviewed multiple times by the lawyer Joe Biden just nominated to serve as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania. According to two sources, while the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office is aware of the allegations, that office is not investigating the potential fraud, leaving the matter solely in the hands of the conflicted-future U.S. attorney.On Monday, President Biden named Eric Olshan, currently an assistant U.S. attorney in the Pittsburgh office,...

I ask the question in my headline in earnest.Here’s a relative axiom, attributed in various forms to various historical figures: Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself. So, yeah — what are the Democrats thinking? They should count their lucky stars if Donald Trump wins the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination.With multiple polls showing Republican support for a 2024 Trump run collapsing, the former president beleaguered by key midterm losses by candidates he strongly backed, courtroom setbacks, and mindblowing unforced errors — blameable only on Trump — the Democrat Party would be wise to...

MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Monday on “Morning Joe” that he believed it was an “insult” the Republican Party chose Herschel Walker as their nominee in Georgia’s U.S. Senate race because he is black. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “You believe that Walker’s in this position as the Republican nominee for the Senate in Georgia because he is a football star, sure, buts also because he is a black man. Tell us more as to why how deeply cynical that is and how you read Georgia, a state you know really well. What does it say about Georgia right now that...

Don’t you love it when this happens? Joe Biden’s nominee for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals failed to win Senate confirmation due to the absence of two Democrat senators. Senators Maggie Hassan (N.H.) and Tammy Duckworth (Ill.) missed the vote. The confirmation of public defender Arianna Freeman to the appeals court failed by a vote of 47 to 50.One Republican senator was also absent, Todd Young from Indiana, but in the end that didn’t matter. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer voted “no” as a procedural move. It allows him to bring her nomination back to the floor at a...

Sen. Mitt Romney says President Donald Trump is "very likely" to become the 2024 Republican presidential nominee if he runs. "I don't delude myself into thinking I have a big swath of the Republican Party," Romney, a two-time Republican presidential contender and 2012 presidential nominee, said in an interview with Politico. "It's hard to imagine anything that would derail his support," Romney said of Trump. "So if he wants to become the nominee in '24, I think he's very likely to achieve that."

Celebration canceled over violations of FBI commitment to nonpartisanship The Washington Free Beacon received an internally circulated email from the FBI's Los Angeles Women's and Black Affairs Committees, dated March 11, that advertised a "save the date" for an interview with the agency's assistant director in charge for the L.A. field office and a "nomination party" for Jackson on March 23. The event was first reported on Tuesday by Tucker Carlson Tonight. Another email was sent by a member of the field office's Diversity and Inclusion department on the following day, March 12, to cancel the celebration for Jackson. The...

REP. KINZINGER: "If Donald Trump gets the Republican nomination there are many of us that will move heaven and earth to ensure he doesn't win. I think that's the most important thing. He cannot be president again." https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/1504528442519433219

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination is former President Donald Trump’s for the taking. Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “Senator, it’s been several years since you’ve been on the program. It’s our first chance since January 6 to ask about your relationship with President Trump and his leadership with the Republican Party. We showed your comments from January 6. The next day you talked about the president’s accountability for allowing the ride to happen. You’ve also said the Republican Party can’t win without him, and the 2024 nomination is his...

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said on Thursday that President Biden must not allow the radical left to control the pending Supreme Court nomination. After Biden announced Justice Stephen Breyer would leave the Court and a replacement would be nominated before the end of February, McConnell released a statement warning Biden to not “outsource” the nomination to the radical left.

Like an air-horn blast at summer camp, the news of 83-year-old United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s imminent retirement is calling Democrats to attention. For the first time since 2016, when then-President Barack Obama tried and failed to appoint Merrick Garland to the bench, a Democratic president has the chance to fill an open seat on the Supreme Court, and this time around, he will likely be successful. But who will President Joe Biden choose? We know that his nominee will almost certainly be a woman. In 2020, then-candidate Biden vowed that he would respond to a Supreme Court...

Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said he’ll support the nomination of Jeff Flake as U.S. ambassador to Turkey after meeting with Flake Tuesday. “My friend Jeff Flake is a thoughtful and accomplished public servant who will represent the United States well in a complex region of the world,” Romney said in a statement to Deseret News. “He understands the importance of standing for U.S. interests in Turkey, and I look forward to supporting his nomination when it comes before the Senate.” When his nomination was announced by the Biden administration in July, the former Republican senator...

WASHINGTON — Former Pennsylvania health secretary Rachel Levine plans to tell lawmakers Thursday that her long and varied career in Pennsylvania — as a pediatrician, professor, public health advocate and, most recently, the state’s chief communicator during the COVID-19 pandemic — qualifies her to run key federal health programs as assistant secretary of health. “At its core, my career has been about helping people live healthy lives,” Dr. Levine wrote in her opening statement, as prepared for delivery. “I am both humbled by the opportunity, and ready for the job.” Of all her roles, Dr. Levine, tapped by President Joe...
