Ukrainian President Volodymyr has once again cancelled elections within the nation, preferring to continue his rule by unilateral fiat. A growing opposition movement to Zelenskyy is very visible, and the Ukraine President has refused to consider a need to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin. KYIV (Reuters) -Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed as irresponsible any notion of holding an election in wartime as talks have heated up recently whether Kyiv should be voting when under Russia’s assault.

The United States held an election during the middle of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln did not cancel the election. Who does Zelenskyy think he is. Hold your election. I am ready to string people up who cancel (or interfere with) elections.

If Biden were to cancel the 2024 Presidential election, the wimpy Republicans would start doing a lot of talking and start writing a lot of letters. The Election Day would pass and that would be the end of it.

They probably use paper ballots and other methods that wouldn't permit the cheating that Democrats and Biden require to win other wise fjb would cancel ours too.

The silver lining here is that when the US abandons Zelensky, he will likely rat out Hunter.

I was not going to bother reviewing Tuesday’s off-year election results. I had a good post scheduled — “Why they hate Snow White: The Christian moral to the story is the problem for the left” — but I postponed it until tomorrow (Friday) because there is a lot of panic by people who should know better. Matt Drudge did his best to discourage people who want to Make America Great Again. The Twitter Files explained his 180 on Trump in March 2017 or so.

When Illinois lawmakers brag about having a “welcoming state,” they might want to talk to parents like Susie Redfern. In 2019, the Chicago Tribune profiled her and her son Nick as symptomatic of a dysfunctional system failing to meet the needs of individuals with disabilities. But rather than fixing that crisis, the Illinois Legislature created a new one, establishing health care programs for illegal immigrants that have exploded in costs, even as some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens lack access to needed care. It’s a particularly cruel example of the misplaced priorities of the radical left.

The chair of the House Oversight Committee issued a slew of subpoenas on Wednesday, including to Hunter Biden and James Biden. Additional subpoenas, as well as requests for transcribed interviews, were served on other Biden family members and business associates. These investigative steps are solid, but the House committees charged with the Joe Biden impeachment inquiry need to issue subpoenas for the witnesses and documents Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, not-so-subtly suggested late last month. “I’ve obtained the names of 25 DOJ and FBI personnel to interview at a future date,” Grassley wrote in a late-October letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray

Real estate tycoon Robert Bigelow, the biggest donor to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' 2024 presidential campaign, said he's now backing former President Donald Trump, in part because the security threat posed by the unrest in the Middle East requires the "strongest commander" and that the former president is the obvious choice. Calling President Trump a "bull" and Mr. DeSantis "dinner," Mr. Bigelow told The Financial Times in an interview Wednesday that he believes the former president's campaign has built up significant steam, making him hard to beat. "I think Trump is too strong," Mr. Bigelow told the outlet. "I think Trump has the momentum, the inertia, to beat him."

The University of North Florida [DATA HERE] shows President Donald Trump with a solid 60% of the primary vote ahead of Wednesday’s debate among ‘first-loser’ candidates. The question consistently posed is why any Republican candidate would continue trying to undermine the clear leader of the Florida voter. The answer is quite simple, the remaining field is not trying to win the GOP nomination, but rather to undermine, damage and work on behalf of their multinational donors to block Trump – no matter the consequence. (snip) There is clear voter backlash in the state toward DeSantis that was not anticipated by the handlers of the Florida governor.

Try searching for "Israel" on China’s biggest search engine Baidu—the nation's name is no longer on the map. The discovery, which caught many in China by surprise on Oct. 30, is the latest twist in a calculated silence by the regime in Beijing, in contrast to other major world powers that have rushed to Israel’s side. Positioning itself as a mediator and advocate for peace, the regime has criticized Israel for going too far in its counterattack against Hamas. As hostility proliferates against Israel on China’s heavily censored internet and in state media, the terrorist group responsible for the deadly assault hasn't elicited a single mention in official statements coming out of Beijing.

Democrats are losing the Gaza War because of four women: Larry Omar, Moe Tlaib, Curly AOC and Shemp Pressley. They are the biggest anti-Semite recruiters in the Democrat Party since Nathan Bedford Forrest formed the KKK. It would be childish and demeaning to call them the Squaws, so I will follow the crowd for once and call them the Squad. They rolled into Congress after the 2018 election and played identity politics to the hilt. One was black, one was Hispanic, one was Palestinian and one was married to her brother.

During the past three fiscal years, $4.1 billion in federal money from taxpayers has flowed to LGBT initiatives in the United States and around the world, an Epoch Times investigation has revealed. From Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2023, the U.S. government issued more than 1,100 grants to fund LGBT-promoting projects around the world, according to a review of a federal spending website. The scope of projects varies widely. Plans to create a "safe space for LGBTQ youth and adults to seek support and resources" earned a $1.8 million grant from the U.S. government in 2022 for the LGBT Life Center in Norfolk, Virginia.

Honest Reporting broke a bombshell today: Gaza-based photographers who work for the Associated Press and Reuters were on the scene of the October 7 massacre in Israel very early in the morning, ready to capture the moment when Hamas fighters raped, kidnapped, tortured, and slaughtered almost 1,500 Israeli civilians. Maybe they heard about what happened and decided it was newsworthy, so they hustled on over. Or maybe Reuters and the AP are paying money to people who knew that civilians were about to be massacred and either thought, “Yay” or “What a great opportunity to collect a paycheck.” Here's what Honest Reporting had to say: On October 7, Hamas terrorists

Israel has agreed to put in place four-hour daily humanitarian pauses in its assault on Hamas in northern Gaza starting on Thursday, the White House said, as President Joe Biden pressed Israelis for a multi-day stoppage in the fighting in a bid to release hostages held by the militant group. Biden said Thursday that there was “no possibility” of a formal cease-fire at the moment, but he also expressed frustration that it had taken so long for Israel to agree to the humanitarian pauses. Biden had asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to institute the daily pauses during a Monday call and said he had also asked the

It's no secret that many younger members of the Biden administration are not happy with the president's policy of demonstrating strong support for Israel. Dozens of State Department members signed a "dissent cable" taking issue with the president's decided tilt in favor of the Israelis. Now, there's a growing revolt in the White House as many junior aides are griping about the pro-Israel bias of the president. “It has created great moral anxiety,” said one senior administration official. “But no one can say it because we all work at the pleasure of the president and he’s all in.”

After Ohio voters on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion and other forms of reproductive health care, advocates on both sides of the issue are looking at how they can get support on 2024 ballots in at least a dozen states. Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had protected abortion rights nationally, voters in all seven states that held a statewide vote have backed access. That includes Ohio, where voters Tuesday enshrined abortion access in the state constitution.

Hillary Clinton trotted out perhaps the most played-out and predictable smear of all time for her longtime rival, Teflon Don. Via The Hill (emphasis added): Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the wreckage from another Trump presidency would be “almost unimaginable” and likened the former president who beat her in the 2016 election to Adolf Hitler. In an interview on ABC’s “The View,” Clinton said when she was secretary of State, she saw people who would “get legitimately elected” and then would try “to do away with elections and do away with opposition.” “You could see it in countries where, well, Hitler was duly elected, right?”
