Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has been given a boost after a federal judge dismissed a case seeking to remove the ex-president's name from the ballot in Rhode Island. U.S. District Court Chief Judge John J. McConnell Jr. on Monday threw out a lawsuit from long-shot Republican Trump challenger John Anthony Castro, according to The Providence Journal. The judge, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, found that Castro had not demonstrated that he is "actually competing with Trump for votes and contributions.

Who is going to vote for a man who cannot take competition? "Progressives" will, but not informed, decent, honorable people.

Is there anybody else out there who wants to waste Donald Trump's time with one of these lawsuits? Let's get them all out of the way now. All it does is show cowardly fear of a great leader who will win in 2024 if democrat cheating is held in check. If cheating is detected again we will not tolerate this "no standing" nonsense a second time.

#3, it is not an exaggeration. There was a man named Edward Moore Kennedy who ran for Sewer Inspector somewhere in Massachusetts. Won in a landslide because many voters thought he was THE Kennedy. Stupidity knows no bounds.

"insurrection or rebellion". There is no way that the J6's could be called insurrectionists or someone involved in a rebellion after watching the tapes. The only "weapons" used were cameras taking selfies. And when you read about how the hostages were treated by Hamas and learn about how Jan6's are treated, you notice a similarity in treatment. Same playbook.

There was never an attempted insurrection nor was Trump ever charged with it. It’s a buzzword liberals chose so they could persecute Trump supporters. Going to court with the opinion that someone should not be on the ballot is a frivolous waste of time and money. Castro is the one who should be prosecuted.

This decision applies to the primary challenge against Trump by fellow Republican Castro. This was not a challenge from the progressive wing of the dem party. It's all chaos.

This is a nuisance suit designed to waste Trump's time and money. Trump should ask for his legal fees to b reimbursed and any other fines/ sanctions he can get. That will stop this harassment

In the first weeks of the Israel-Hamas war, President Joe Biden privately pointed to praise for his unconditional public support of Israel, as well as some initial successes in influencing its government, as vindication of advice he said President Barack Obama and his closest aides dismissed, according to five people familiar with his comments. Biden recounted in private that when he was vice president in 2014 and Israel mounted a military assault on Gaza, Obama and his staff rejected his belief, held for decades, that the best way to approach the Israelis is to hug them close but not criticize them, the people familiar with his comments

The Biden administration quietly granted a request from an energy firm developing an offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts to waive development fees designed to safeguard taxpayers, according to internal documents reviewed by Fox News Digital. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) informed Vineyard Wind that it had waived a financial assurance for decommissioning costs fee in a June 15, 2021, letter obtained by watchdog group Protect the Public's Trust (PPT). Federal statute mandates that developers pay that fee prior to construction on their lease, a potentially hefty fee designed to guarantee federal property is returned to its original state after a lessee departs its lease.

Journalism is dead; the media is absolutely horrible and it can’t die fast enough. Thankfully, it is dying. Each year there are fewer newspapers and news websites out there, as the market speaks and people flee these left-wing propaganda machines and wither on the vine. Don’t get me wrong, if these outlets did what they’re supposed to do – actually report the news honestly and without bias – I wouldn’t celebrate their demise. But they don’t, so to hell with them. I find it difficult to not respond to various reporters announcing layoffs in their newsrooms with a resounding “learn to code” swipe, but I mostly succeed.

The stance of the Arabs and Muslims is yet another indication of their disillusionment with the Palestinians in general and Iran's proxies -- Hamas, Hizballah and the Houthis -- in particular. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Jordan are as opposed to Hamas as they are to Israel. Hamas is another branch of the Muslim Brotherhood organization, which has long posed a threat to their national security. In 2017, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar after accusing it of providing support for Islamist terrorists, including Hamas and the Taliban, as well as Iran.

Based on the current polls, we may very well have an immovable object meets an irresistible force scenario, except here it is two aging, past-their-prime retreads who, in any normal time, would have retired to enjoy the remaining sands of the hourglass but have decided to instead run again for president. Both have fatal flaws. Under the old rules, we knew the election outcome without a doubt. Trump can’t possibly win, and Biden is certain to lose. But someone has to win, and it will not be that RFK weirdo. This spectacle is not a done deal. Though he’s far ahead today, Trump can still lose the nomination. I

When the public complains about announced cuts to police protection and garbage collection, Mayor Adams weasels back, “Don’t yell at me, yell at DC.” Adams is trying to shift the blame to President Biden and the Democrats’ open-border policy. Don’t fall for it. The surge of migrants accounts for less than half (42%) of the city’s looming fiscal crisis. New York was heading off a fiscal cliff before the surge. Adams’ predecessor, spendaholic Bill de Blasio, is partly to blame. But Adams worsened the crisis by negotiating insane labor contracts — especially with the teachers union — that the city cannot afford.

Dozens more, perhaps hundreds more of Israel’s soldiers and thousands more civilians in Gaza will be killed as a result of this “kindness.”Seven-plus weeks into what history may eventually consider one of the most sadistic, cruel, and calculated terrorist events in world history,

Teenagers at Jamaica’s Hillcrest High School shut down the school for two hours on Monday as they marched through the hallways in a pre-planned protest after finding a Facebook post of the teacher attending a rally holding a sign that read, “I stand with Israel.” The terrified teacher locked herself away as the students allegedly tried to barge in.

And 55 percent said they'd already eliminated degree requirements this year, according to an Intelligent.com survey of 800 US employers, carried out in November. It comes after Walmart, IBM, Accenture, Bank of America and Google announced similar plans. The survey found that the same employers that have already eliminated Bachelor's degree requirements were far more likely to continue doing so.
