Charles Fruit thinks Nikki Haley would make a good president. He thinks she did a good job as governor in South Carolina, and he was impressed with her work as United Nations ambassador during the Trump administration. “She was just tough, and I like that,” the Mesquite, Nev., resident said. “She was common sense. She was well-spoken. She was respectable.” That’s why Fruit was upset to learn that he couldn’t really help her become the Republican nominee. Haley — the second most popular Republican candidate next to former President Donald Trump — is not participating in the Feb. 8 Nevada...

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida lashed out at the media Monday after networks declared former President Donald Trump the winner before some caucus sites had started voting. “It is absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote,” said DeSantis spokesman Andrew Romeo. “The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.”The news broke at a caucus site here right around the same time a surrogate for Mr. DeSantis had taken...

On November 28, Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer signed bills that will revamp electricity generation in the state. The new measures include a requirement for utilities to achieve a 100% clean energy standard by 2040. The measures also transfer authority over large-scale wind and solar projects from local governments to the state’s Public Service Commission. Whitmer emphasized that Michigan is well-equipped, both in terms of its workforce and the newly enacted legislation, to foster robust economic growth in the clean energy sector. The impact of the new laws will be felt in areas such as project locations, electricity sources, and power...

President Joe Biden fundraised off the Democrat Party’s nearly flawless election day on Tuesday, using the victories in Ohio, Kentucky, and likely in Virginia to draw a contrast between “democracy” and “MAGA.” The Republican potential losses in all three states highlight the GOP’s seeming inability to persuade voters of their arguments against late-term abortions.

Elections are the answer to Trumpism, which aims to undermine the Constitution that protects our freedoms. Yesterday, we saw the antidote at work once again, and in battleground states, in special elections for state House seats in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Both victories were consistent with a 2023 national trend, with abortion-rights Democrats overperforming in the wake of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationally.

North Carolina’s Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a Republican-led bill on Thursday that would make sweeping changes to the state’s election laws, including the rules for absentee voting and same-day registration. The veto is likely to be overridden by the state’s GOP-controlled General Assembly. “Right now, legislative Republicans in North Carolina are pushing an all-out assault on the right to vote,” the governor charged in a Thursday video message. [snip] “We are creating a secure election system that makes it easy to vote and protects election integrity,” said Republican state Sen. Warren Daniel of Burke County. “But Gov. Cooper wants...

I feel like Paul Revere for patriots. Except I’m shouting, “The elections are being stolen…the elections are being stolen.” I grew up on the mean streets of New York. I am very familiar with bait and switch. Walking the streets of New York City, I saw three-card-monte conmen setting up shop on sidewalks every day. Their goal was to distract you from picking the right card…and to separate you from your money. We all just witnessed a bait and switch in the news headlines earlier this week. This is three-card-monte on STEROIDS. Fox News settled with Dominion over claims of...

"Community mobilizers" could make as much as $270 by creating a list of 75 people and making sustained efforts to turn out 60 of them to vote in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Wisconsin lawmaker is questioning whether it was legal for a political action committee to pay people to encourage others to vote for liberal Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Janet Protasiewicz in the state Supreme Court election in the latest mobilization tactic to raise integrity concerns in the battleground state. Wisconsin Takes Action, a project of Organizing Empowerment PAC, held live Zoom training sessions during the Wisconsin Supreme...

LANSING, Mich - The Michigan House has passed House Bill 4004 by a 56 to 53 vote which repeals the Right to Work Law in Michigan. The legislation will now to go the Michigan Senate. If the Senate approves the legislation it will then move to Governor Whitmer's desk for approval. The legislation was pushed by the Democrats who control the House, Senate, and the Governor's office.

The GOP is a carbon copy of the French Army. They put up the white flag before the battle begins. A great general once said, “I’d rather have the German Army in front of me, than the French Army behind me.” That sums up today’s GOP. They don’t represent “we the people.” They either don’t understand, or don’t care what their own base believes. They only represent their corporate donors. And they run for cover at the first sign of a fight. Sarah Huckabee is different. She is a winner! First, she beat cancer, then she won the Arkansas Governor’s...

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Tuesday urged members of her party to stop discouraging early voting and vote by mail. “Our voters need to vote early,” McDaniel told Fox News. “I have said this over and over again. There were many in 2020 saying, ‘Don’t vote by mail, don’t vote early.’ And we have to stop that and understand that if Democrats are getting ballots in for a month, we can’t expect to get it all done in one day.” Former President Trump was among the leading voices that questioned the security and validity of early and...

Donors just didn’t want to back a loser — and that’s just what Mr. Trump is now — a loser. “Hedge fund manager Ken Griffin, the second-most prolific GOP donor of the midterms, said Tuesday that he would support [Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis over Trump, pointing to the Florida governor’s dominant reelection victory in a state that was considered competitive until recently,” The Hill reported this week. “I’d like to think that the Republican Party is ready to move on from somebody who has been for this party a three-time loser,” said Mr. Griffin, who funded a pro-Trump super political...

Our smash and grab elections With this headline the gaslighting should die down pretty soon. Christy Smith concedes to Mike Garcia in CA27, Giving Republicans control of the House with 218 seats N.B. The gaslighting has been fast and furious. Today WE are finally seeing what has been the case for at least 72 hours as a dead-solid fact and at least 5 days as an all but waiting for the Democrat/communists to get off the floor, stop crying, and go home because you lost FACT: Patriotism won and greed and stupidity lost. WE have won the House but were...

A confused political hack from Delaware staged a one-man insurrection by invading the sacred precincts of the Capitol building, hijacking all the TV networks, and yelling that the planet would be destroyed unless we gave him all our money so he could burn it and turn it into green energy. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr, who loves the sound of his voice more than his crackhead son or the bastard grandchild of a stripper, had already inflicted the second longest opening address in the history of this nation with a 2021 marathon address that killed more brain cells than meth. Like...

Georgia opens investigation into possible illegal ballot harvesting in 2020 electionGeorgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News. Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called "harvesting" that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona...

VIDEOOkay, not the election you might be thinking of but the point is how is it okay for liberals to claim that elections of the past were stolen and suffer no consequences yet the mere hint that the 2020 election was stolen means you are subject to Social Media punishment and lectured about "THE BIG LIE?" However, it was a bit surprising to hear The Hill Rising's Grim claim that the 1960 election was stolen since it tarnishes the Camelot legacy so beloved by liberals. You will also note that a lot of Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, also claimed that...

As His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s presidency implodes, polling shows former President Donald Trump would trounce Biden in a 2024 rematch. Rasmussen Reports, one of the country’s most accurate pollsters, shows that should Trump choose to run again in 2024, he would obliterate Joe Biden by a margin of 51 to 41 percent.

Senate Democrats are preparing to force a vote on a bill to override new elections laws in Republican-led states that they say discriminate against minorities, an effort that faces likely defeat. But the move provides Democrats with another chance to attack Republicans as racist. Democratic senators were reportedly closing in Monday on a compromise with holdout Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia on a bill similar to one passed by the House in March. The deal would have the federal government set national elections rules, including loosening states’ requirements that voters show ID.

How a onetime aspiring public intellectual and Trump doubter turned into a true believer in stolen elections. For Eric Metaxas, a prominent evangelical public intellectual and Christian radio host, knowing that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is like believing in Jesus. He just knows in his heart that it is true. During a prayer call with evangelical supporters of President Donald Trump on Tuesday night (Dec. 2), Metaxas said that God is on Trump’s side in the fight against a “stolen” election. “It’s like somebody saying, ‘Oh, you don’t have enough evidence to believe in Jesus.’ We have enough...

Former Washington gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi won his election. He was certified the winner of the 2004 election. Twice. But the closest gubernatorial election in United States history was flipped through shenanigans during the recount. “On nine different occasions, King County found more ballots,” Rossi told show host Chris Widener. King County has one-third of the state’s voters and left-wing Seattle is one-third of King County. This is all relevant as we’re in the middle of a similar situation at the national level. Several instances of voter fraud have been reported in swing states across the country. As Rossi, who...
