GETTY IMAGES Former US Vice-President Mike Pence has officially filed paperwork to join an increasingly crowded field of Republicans running for president. The move pits him against former President Donald Trump, the man he served in the White House for four years from 2017-21. Mr Trump is currently polling well ahead of his competition. Mr Pence, 63, is expected to formally launch his campaign with a video and speech on Wednesday. The former Indiana governor and congressman has distanced himself from his former boss since the riot by Trump supporters at the US Capitol in January 2021. Mr Trump pressured Mr Pence to overturn Joe Biden's election victory when he presided over the certification

Hold on a second. One, or more, of the "gentleman" at the local watering hole dive bar could announce that the paperwork for the presidential nomination is soon to be filed. Let's wait and see how far the $5, in the Mason Jar, goes to announcing a candidacy. Local media outlets are on stand-by.

The only way Pence will get as much as 1% of the vote is if he were to run on the democrat ticket. As a republican candidate he is poison.

This RINO wannabe has no chance. Candidates often enter the race in hopes of becoming vice president. Pence held that position and failed the loyalty test. Republican voters will remember and vote for someone else. Same criteria applies to Nikki Haley so her chances are also nil.

It must be virtually impossible for politicians like Pence to understand how they are perceived outside the Washington bubble. He doesn't stand a chance of breaking low single digits.

Maybe Pence is trying to help Trump. The more people running, the better Trump’s chance of easily being the nominee, according to what I’ve read.

As RedState reported (and as prior reports indicated), Donald Trump was indicted for a second time on Thursday, this time by the DOJ for alleged violations of the Espionage Act. That relates to documents that he took with him after leaving the White House. The government’s chief piece of evidence is reportedly a tape of Trump discussing a national security document with Mark Meadows and his staffers during a Q and A for a book. The DOJ is accusing the former president of admitting on the tape that he knew the document was still classified. Jack Smith and his team of prosecutors are going to attempt to undercut Trump’s primary defense,

Half of U.S. adults say they disapprove of selective colleges and universities taking prospective students’ racial and ethnic backgrounds into account when making admissions decisions. Fewer (33%) approve of colleges considering race and ethnicity to increase diversity at the schools, while 16% are not sure.

The Daily Telegraph newspaper has inched closer to a sale after Lloyds Banking Group seized control of its parent firm over unpaid loans and placed it in the hands of receivers. Sky News has previously reported how the bank was understood to have taken the drastic move and was in the process of appointing investment banks to handle an auction of the press pack. It is understood to value the Telegraph, its sister Sunday paper and The Spectator magazine at £600m. They are contained within the profitable Press Acquisitions division of B.UK Ltd, which is controlled by the Barclay family. The division also includes the Telegraph Media Group.

The recruiting crisis within the U.S. military is a very real thing, and while senior military leaders and “military experts” have been putting the blame squarely on young people, all signs point to the bigger issue boiling down primarily to one thing: the federal government’s dangerous obsession with all things woke. And when I say “dangerous,” I’m not engaging in hyperbole. My RedState colleague streiff explained it well in a recent post: The fact is that the military has become a hostile work environment for straight, white, conservative males who have historically been the demographic most likely to enlist. The Air Force has said it has too many white pilots,

Elizabeth wrote yesterday about taking seriously the presidential candidacy of Cornel West, and while no one thinks West will actually gain many votes, the memory of Ralph Nader’s 95,000 votes in Florida in the 2000 election still haunts the memories of Democrats. (By the way, since Cornel West has put out his own rap CDs, clearly his running mate should be the other West who has made noises about running for president—Kanye West. The ticket/bumper sticker could be “West2.“) Clearly the left is worried about West, too. MSNBC is out with an attack on West claiming that he is . . . a conservative!

Despite the best efforts of the media and the White House to promote a liberal agenda on issues from abortion to gender change, America has turned back to being more conservative. Gallup’s latest Values and Beliefs Survey said that conservatives top liberals on social policies and the economy, the two biggest topics America is grappling with. “For most of the past eight years, Americans were about as likely to say they were liberal as conservative on social issues. This year, there is a more obvious conservative advantage,” said the nation’s biggest pollster on Thursday. “The shift is mostly due to increasing social conservatism among Republicans

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday issued a surprising ruling in favor of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case, ordering the creation of a second district with a large Black population. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined with the court's liberals in affirming a lower-court ruling that found a likely violation of the Voting Rights Act in an Alabama congressional map with one majority Black seat out of seven congressional districts in a state where more than one in four residents is Black. The case had been closely watched for its potential to weaken the landmark voting rights law.

He was 93. Robertson was one of the most prominent and influential Christian broadcasters and entrepreneurs in the U.S., equal parts religious leader and culture warrior. In a way, Robertson was also a business visionary.

The latest Twitter Files suggest the FBI helped Ukrainian intelligence in an effort to encourage Twitter to censor users, even American journalists. The Grayzone News host Aaron Maté unleashed the latest installment of The Twitter Files on June 7 in a thread that Twitter Files journalist Matt Taibbi called “perhaps the most damning about the FBI.” Maté reported the evidence, both on Twitter and Substack: “The FBI aided a Ukrainian intelligence effort to ban Twitter users and collect their data, leaks reveal. Twitter declined to censor journalists targeted by Ukraine, including Aaron Maté.” This newly released evidence once again implicates the U.S. government in an anti-free speech censorship plot

We need a new leader for a changing economy. That’s why I’m announcing my run for president today,” added Burgum, who is also hosting his launch event on Wednesday.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Kushner walk out of the White House, and months later get $2 billion from the Saudis.” Christie was pointing to the $2 billion investment made by the Saudi-backed Public Investment Fund, which is controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, into Kushner’s investment firm A Fin Management, LLC (Affinity) in 2021.
