Polls repeatedly show that voters don’t want a rematch of President Biden versus former President Donald Trump in 2024. Republicans are going through a formal primary process to determine their nominee. GOP voters support Mr. Trump’s nomination in early polling by more than 20 percentage points. Democratic voters are not getting the same choice. Establishment Democrats have chosen to coronate Mr. Biden as their nominee — eliminating debates and an open primary process even with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson challenging Mr. Biden’s candidacy. Now, the Democratic establishment is freaking out over what could be a third-party run.

Some forget that Manchin isn’t the Democrat version of a RINO. He’s what a Democrat used to be and what many Democrats still are. He may turn out to have the same effect on them as Ross Perot had on Republicans dissatisfied with George Bush

I suspect Manchin has a price. It’s just a case of finding out what it is and if the Dems are willing to pay it. He’s been bought before.

If Manchin does run as a third party candidate that'll make it harder for the demonrats to cheat, which is likely what they're most afraid of.

Voters aren't afraid of a Biteme, Trump rematch for president, they're afraid that fraud in the election will keep the dementia patient in office.

In other words, Democrat black-operatives and COINTELPRO chiefs like Ray Epps will be attempting the third edition of the Kennedy blood atonement, writ large.

Dems frequently have paid a fake "conservative" to run in an election that a real conservative would win, thereby splitting the conservative vote, so the Demonrat can win. This has been common in Chicago for decades. It happened in our Kansas governor's election with Kris Kobach running. Kobach would have won without a big name plumber who suddenly decided to run as a "conservative"...had never before run for anything. He had been running radio ads for his personally named plumbing company for decades in eastern KS, where a large part of the population lives in KS. He pulled about 5-7% of the vote....just enough to prevent Kobach a REAL conservative from winning. Then he disappeared....done with his job as an intentional spoiler candidate. Us conservatives should contribute heavily to any Dem that would run as a third party to deny the Demonrats from winning. Turning the tables on the.

Mixed bag. I have at least a little concern that Manchin -- at least on the surface not woke, and anti Green New Deal -- would steal votes that should be Republican.

I hope Manchin's motivation is revenge for being stabbed in the back by his own party. No amount of bribes will be enough.

Six Republican presidential candidates — Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis — appeared Friday at the Family Leadership Summit in Des Moines, Iowa. The event was sponsored by the Family Leader, the most influential social conservative organization in the state. The candidates were questioned by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. While the event did not make big news like it did back in 2016, when then-candidate Donald Trump notoriously said of the late Sen. John McCain, "I like people who weren't captured," the forum still offered revealing portraits of some of the candidates vying to unseat

The son of a Canadian pastor drew raucous applause from the European Parliament earlier this month when he pleaded for international pressure in the case of his father, who potentially faces 10 years in prison after delivering a sermon to truckers blocking the U.S.-Canada border last year. "I am here today in desperation, a cry for help," Nathaniel Pawlowski, 23, told members of the EU Parliament on July 4. "I would like to stand here and tell you all the things about freedom and democracy that I like, but I no longer know those things." "They have been taken away from us Canadians. Canada has fallen."
Democrats’ Profound Problem: Everyone’s

The Democratic Party generally — and President Biden specifically — have a profound problem: At home and abroad, seemingly everyone is mad at the American president, with severe consequences for American influence around the world. Domestically, despite cooling inflation, just 30% of Americans say they agree with Democrats’ economic policy, while 42% prefer the Republicans’ approach. With the economy consistently ranking as the most important issue for voters, Americans’ pessimism — coupled with Biden’s consistently low approval ratings on the economy — figures to be a considerable problem as he seeks a second term. Moreover, Hispanic voters — a critical Democratic constituency — are angry at the perceived leftward shift

Aden Gilbert grew up watching war movies, fighting enemy combatants in video games and listening to his dad's Marine Corps stories. He considered following in his father's footsteps but changed his mind as he saw the country and its leadership heading in a direction antithetical to his values. "If we're prioritizing being woke, and we can't actually protect the majority of American people . . . what's the point of having a military?" Gilbert asked Fox News. "Is it really worth joining and putting our life on the line for ideologies that we don't agree with and that we don't want to necessarily protect?"

The House of Representatives on Friday narrowly passed the annual defense policy bill, as most Democrats opposed the legislation that Republicans championed as a way to roll back the Biden administration's "woke" Pentagon policies. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), normally a bipartisan bill, passed in a 219-210 vote after just four Democrats voted "yes," matching the four Republicans who voted against it. Most Democrats rejected the bill due to controversial amendments that would curb the Pentagon’s abortion travel reimbursement policy, transgender medical care and diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) programs throughout the military.

Republicans blasted President Biden's decision to call up thousands of armed forces reserve members to bolster the troops for "the effective conduct" of a military operation. On Thursday, Biden announced that his administration is mustering reserve troops to ensure the "effective conduct of Operation Atlantic Resolve in and around the United States European Command’s area of responsibility." The president is calling up 3,000 reserve troops from the Selected and Individual Ready Reserves, with no more than 450 from the Individual Ready Reserve.

Ron DeSantis’s once-vaunted presidential bid is in freefall. In the latest ominous sign for the Florida governor, Rupert Murdoch’s media empire appears to be distancing itself from his candidacy, with once-supportive outlets from Fox News and the New York Post to The Wall Street Journal highlighting his flagging poll numbers, his policy inconsistencies, and his cringeworthy attempts to connect with voters in key primary states. Should the DeSantis campaign fizzle out, comparisons with previous GOP stars-turned-flops like Jeb Bush, his predecessor in Tallahassee, are inevitable. But a more revealing analogy for DeSantis is to the most disappointing candidacy in the 2020 Democratic field: that of Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

A campaign event for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was reportedly interrupted when two guests got into a screaming match over climate change and one made a noxious gas emission. The New York Post's Page Six gave a bizarre account of how Tuesday's press dinner for the Democratic presidential candidate "descended into a foul bout of screaming and polemic farting." A Post reporter who attended the event witnessed a "gaseous exchange" between two old men after Kennedy, who founded the conservationist group Waterkeeper Alliance, was asked a question about the environment.
Affirmative Action's Parasitic Elitism 1 reply

The Supreme Court has issued its decision on affirmative action, but its full consequences will take months and years to materialize. There is one thing that’s become immediately clear, though: Affirmative action is most relevant only to the most selective schools. If the end of race-based affirmative action means that more black applicants will be rejected by Harvard in the coming years, we should remember that those students will not be deprived of a college education. They’ll just go to other universities instead, many, many of which offer excellent educations and post-graduation employment opportunities. I have a hard time seeing that as a tragedy or a grave historical injustice.

Whistleblowers allege President Joe Biden and his family have taken up to $30 million in illicit bribes and payments from foreign sources tied to China, Russia and Ukraine. Biden denies it. Do Americans believe him? No. By more than 2-to-1, they say they believe the whistleblowers, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The online poll of 1,341 adults, taken July 5-7, asked respondents how likely is it that the claims are true? The poll has a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points. The results weren't close. Americans, by 56% to 27%, called Biden bribery charges "likely," rather than "unlikely."

If, like me, you find the presidential debate format a rather meaningless exercise, you will be astonished at what one-on-one interviews by a skilled interrogator can accomplish. At the Iowa family Leader conference, Tucker Carlson interviewed several leading contenders for president Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis. If the participants thought this was going to be another tongue bath, they were certainly surprised. He asked hard questions and some of their answers exposed their muddled thinking.

The investigation into the origin of the cocaine found in the White House was “the best” the Secret Service could do, despite not identifying a suspect, a top Biden administration official says. John Kirby, the coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council, told Fox News host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday” that at the end of the probe, there wasn’t enough “forensic evidence” to pinpoint the perpetrator. On July 2, a bag of cocaine was discovered in a lobby of the West Wing.

The supporters of former President Trump are absolutely correct about one thing. If every single Republican pledged their allegiance to him and fell in line he’d win the nomination easily. But he’d also lose the general election, again. He does not receive enough support from outside the traditional Republican and MAGA base to win in 2024. Hillary Clinton beat Trump by roughly 3 million in the popular vote in 2016. While Trump indeed did win the election by taking the required 270 electoral votes, just a few thousand votes in each of the key swing states would have changed that outcome into a Hillary Clinton landslide victory in 2016.

This week the Biden White House closed its short-lived investigation into finding the culprit who brought cocaine into the West Wing of the president’s corridors- despite the Secret Service declining to interview over 500 suspects. Speculation has swirled around who may be guilty, with many suggesting President Joe Biden’s drug and prostitute-addicted son Hunter Biden may be at fault. Investigative reporter Paul Sperry made several observations about Hunter’s booze-filled days— which apparently aren’t over. Sperry detailed Hunter’s failed rehab stints which reportedly started in 2003, relapsing at least ten times. “Hunter Biden, whose addiction to coke started @ 18

A federal judge in Oregon ruled on Friday that a new state gun law does not violate the US Constitution, keeping one of the toughest gun laws in the country in place. US District Court Judge Karin Immergut ruled that Ballot Measure 114’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are constitutional because these magazines are “not commonly used for self-defense, and are therefore not protected by the Second Amendment.” “Even if LCMs are protected by the Second Amendment, BM 114’s restrictions are consistent with this Nation’s history and tradition of regulating uniquely dangerous features of weapons and firearms to protect public safety,” the ruling said.
