Ron DeSantis (R-FL) insisted his 2024 presidential election campaign was built for “the long haul.”He insisted he was competing in Iowa, and there were undecided voters who could still be swayed to vote for him despite his lackluster polling thus far.The Florida Republican said nobody was “entitled to be nominated.”“[W]e know the issues that people care about,” he said. “Economy, border, crime, education, all these things. Weaponization of government. The question is, who is best equipped to bring all this in for a landing? And I think you’re right....

The Senate GOP leader, in the Wednesday interview that was reported Friday, added that (he) will “actively look for quality candidates” for the 2024 primaries

U.S.—The 347 Democratic presidential candidates currently running announced Monday their new plan to attract voters to their platforms: simply to dangle stacks of cash over their heads on a fishing line. At every rally and campaign event, Democrats running for president will dangle bags or bundles of cash above undecided voters, hoping to lure them to the polls to vote. "Rather than compete on ideas, we will resort to blatant bribery," said Bernie Sanders after proposing giving $1.6 trillion to college graduates. Sanders then pulled out a fishing pole and began teasing his audience. "Whooa, gotta be quicker than...

Attorney Orly Taitz has continued to pursue all avenues to bring to light Barack Hussein Obama’s fraudulent IDs and history. While she has sought to have several cases involving Obama’s Social Security number, birth certificate and selective service form reviewed by courts, they have dismissed her attempts. Now, in light of recent reports that attorney and wife of actor George Clooney, Amal Almuddin Clooney, was threatened with arrest by Egyptian officials after she identified flaws in Egypt’s judicial system, Taitz has written to petition the London-based British-Lebanese lawyer to investigate Obama’s fraudulent IDs. “Amal is a human right attorney, known...

A State Department spokeswoman expressed surprise Thursday to hear that a purported “fatwa” by Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei prohibiting nuclear weapons, which President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry periodically cite, does not appear on a list of fatwas on Khamenei’s official website. “Oh, really?” Marie Harf said during a press briefing after a reporter brought this to her attention. “I will say, just in general, I’m not an expert on the fatwa process certainly, or on the supreme leader’s website,” she said. “But what I will say, and I think what people have said, is we...

Dear Orly: I have been in daily contact with Detective Lieutenant Mike Zullo from the Sheriff Joe Arpaio Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Obama Fraud Investigation – sometimes twice daily. I’m sure you also might have heard that Lt. Zullo is preparing to release his some evidence that will truly be universe-shattering, and the knowledge we have is truly something you’re not going to be ready for. This will absolutely, definitely change the eligibility landscape by 10,000%. Mike has asked me to communicate with you that the new evidence – which, let me tell you, is so all-encompassingly gigantic, so incredibly...

She is also one that ( questions the motives) of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and Mike Zullo in their investigation. In June she presented

Taitz interrupted the panel with birther questions, but was told she was being "inappropriate" During a panel on Islam and national security by CPAC’s “Uninvited” anti-Islam activists, birther queen Orly Tatiz interrupted the question and answer session by repeatedly asking about President Obama’s birth certificate, and demanding that the panel explain why it wasn’t addressing the topic. “I think there’s enough substance on this panel, I mean how many topics can you handle,” Pamela Geller, the blogger for Atlas Shrugged, shot back. “Inappropriate. really.” “We are not a birther site,” the moderator, from Breitbart.com, told Taitz before she was shushed...

As of this writing, major news networks such as ABC, Fox News, CBS, and NBC have yet to report on the high court’s decision to review Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility to hold political office in the United States or any of its territories.

Edward Noonan, et al., contend that if Obama had been ineligible to run...

Those who support Attorney Orly Taitz’s challenge to Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to serve as President are being urged to protest peacefully at inauguration proceedings on January 21, (the MLK, Jr. holiday,) and in front of the Supreme Court itself on February 15th when Justices will decide the merits of the challenge. Those making this unnecessary plea seem to forget that conservatives are always peaceful, even when confronted with the most inexcusable of antics by the other side. “Well done, Doctor and good luck,” says licensed private investigator Neil Sankey to Orly Taitz on her website. “I will WALK there...

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in...
