Trump-backed Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno celebrated his primary victory in Ohio’s primary race Tuesday evening, making it clear that Republicans now have the opportunity to “retire the old commie,” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D).
Moreno defeated establishment Republican, State Sen. Matt Dolan (R) as well as Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose in the Buckeye State on Tuesday. The Associated Press (AP) called the Republican Senate primary at 8:35 p.m. ET, with about 25 percent of the vote reported: (X)
Republicans are going to “get the America First agenda done,” Bernie Moreno, who won his primary race in Ohio on Tuesday, said during his victory speech.
Moreno — who defeated both State Sen. Matt Dolan (R) as well as Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose in the Buckeye State’s primary race for Sen. Sherrod Brown’s (D) Senate seat — said he can finally focus on taking down Brown and the Biden agenda. But over the next seven months, Biden will try to “recapture that extreme position in order to keep his base, so who knows what they’ll do, but it’s gonna be a tough next seven months,” Moreno warned before offering
Benjamin Netanyahu is set to speak with Republican Senators in an apparent snub to President Biden after the White House praised Democrat Chuck Schumer's call for new Israeli leadership.
The Israeli Prime Minister, 74, will speak with GOP lawmakers via video call at the conference's regular lunch meeting on Wednesday, according to Punchbowl News.
Netanyahu's appearance is said to be tentative, and comes a week after plans fell through for him to speak with Republicans a week ago at a policy retreat after he was invited by Wyoming Senator John Barrasso.
Joe Biden is hitting made multiple campaign stops on Tuesday, in Nevada and Arizona, to campaign.
As we reported, he first went to talk with staff and volunteers in Reno, Nevada but was spinning falsehoods, made a big gaffe about NATO, and naturally made a beeline for a little girl at the end of his remarks. Then he went on to Las Vegas to talk about lowering housing costs. (X Video) "We need housing that's affordable," Biden said in Las Vegas. "For too many people, the dream of having a home - it feels out of reach."
Judge Aileen Cannon issued a jury instruction order in Jack Smith’s classified documents case and the leftist legal analysts are going apocalyptic.
Cannon gave two options for jury instructions.
The first option:
In a prosecution of a former president for allegedly retaining documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), a jury is permitted to examine a record retained by a former president in his/her personal possession at the end of his/her presidency and make a factual finding as to whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is personal or presidential using the definitions set forth in the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
President Joe Biden on Tuesday attacked Donald Trump as having 'no basis of understanding' of foreign policy but also mixed up Norway and Finland when he was speaking about the NATO alliance.
'This guy – he has no basis of understanding what American foreign policy is about,' Biden told a group of about 50 supporters at a campaign stop in Reno, Nevada.
He also accused Trump of speaking like he lost he 'lost a buddy' when talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Former President Donald Trump cast a primary ballot for himself in the Florida primary Tuesday during a rare political appearance with former first lady Melania Trump by his side.
Trump stopped and took reporters' questions after voting in West Palm Beach near his Mar-a-Lago home, sporting a sticker proclaiming his civic accomplishment.
He quickly brushed off a question about his former vice president, Mike Pence, refusing to endorse him by invoking the events of January 6, days before Trump saluted January 6 defendants and called them 'hostages' at a campaign rally.
Even though he has the Republican nomination essentially sewn up, former President Donald Trump has a few months before he'll need to disclose key picks for a second Trump administration, such as his running mate and those he'd select for his cabinet. Nevertheless, Trump appears to be giving consideration to those critical picks and already has several in mind, according to a new report. (X) While the names don't necessarily come as a huge surprise — particularly in the national security context — they're relatively new to the mix in terms of cabinet rumors.
Don Lemon didn't just want a partnership with X, he wanted to run the show with a series of outlandish demands that he would control and censor news content and talent across the entire platform, DailyMail.com can reveal.
Last week Lemon, 58, was unceremoniously offloaded from talks for a partnership with the social media platform following a car-wreck interview with SpaceX founder Elon Musk, 52.
Now, DailyMail.com can reveal that the real reason Musk pulled the plug on the deal was his belief that Lemon, 'wants censorship so badly [he] can taste it.'
The Conference of Presidents of American Jewish Organizations, the umbrella body representing the institutional U.S. Jewish community, rebuked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after a conference call on Tuesday.
The call had been convened to discuss Schumer’s speech on the Senate floor last Thursday, in which he disparaged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and demanded that Israel hold early elections to replace him, mid-war. In a press release, the leaders of the Conference of Presidents said they “remain distressed” by Schumer’s remarks (emphasis added):
Trump-backed Bernie Moreno has won the competitive Republican Ohio Senate primary after an three-way contest that took an ugly turn and served as a proxy contest between the Trump MAGA wing of the Republican party versus the establishment.
With more than 50 percent of the vote in Tuesday night, Moreno was up double-digits with nearly 49 percent of the vote. State Senator Matt Dolan was in second place with 33 percent.
Moreno will now take on the Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in what is expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive Senate races in the country.

U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman, appointed by Barack Obama, ruled that an illegal immigrant has the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
This ruling came about in the case of Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who faced charges under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5), a federal statute that prohibits noncitizens without legal status in the U.S. from “possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.”

Agents at the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and throughout the intelligence community were distributed a newsletter that celebrated an intelligence official for crossdressing, saying that dressing up in women’s clothes makes him “a better intelligence officer,” according to an internal document obtained by The Daily Wire.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence sent its internal newsletter, called “The Dive” and obtained by The Daily Wire through a Freedom of Information Act request, to personnel across the entire Intelligence Community. Featured in the newsletter was an article by an anonymous official claiming that crossdressing makes him a better intelligence officer.
A new capital would signify a new beginning for the nation. Everyone who has seen the play Hamilton knows that the nation’s capital was moved to the present site in the District of Columbia due to a dinner-table bargain in 1790 between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton needed Jefferson’s support in Congress to win approval for federal assumption of revolutionary war debts; in return, Jefferson wanted Hamilton’s support in moving the capital from New York City to a location nearer to the population and geographical center of the country, later carved out between the states of Maryland and Virginia.
Michigan attorney Stefanie Lambert Junttila was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday following a court hearing after she gave the “evidence of numerous crimes” to law enforcement containing internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems, AP reported.
Lambert attended a court hearing in Washington, D.C., for a defamation case involving Patrick Byrne, whom she represents. Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims of election fraud.
Lambert’s arrest occurred after it was revealed that she had leaked confidential documents from Dominion to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who has been actively investigating claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election, according to CNN.
What Is Obama Doing in London?

Former President Barack Obama was spotted in London yesterday, but not as a tourist taking in the sights or looking for Princess Kate Middleton.
Instead, Obama was spotted walking into 10 Downing Street for an hour long meeting with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. [Tweet, video]
After leaving the meeting, Obama said he was "tempted" to answer questions from the press but kept walking with U.S. Ambassador to the UK Jane Hartley. [Video]
The move comes just days after news reports that President Joe Biden reportedly claims he has been more successful than Obama, reigniting a decades long rivalry between the two politicians.
The EPA Is About to Outlaw Your Car
21 replies
"Outlaw your car" sounds like such an outrageous phrase, and technically speaking, it isn't true — but only barely. What practical difference is there between outlawing something, and regulating it out of existence? That's exactly what the EPA intends to do this week with strict new rules going forward against gas- and diesel-powered cars and light trucks.
Expected as soon as Wednesday, the Biden EPA "is poised to finalize emissions rules that will effectively require a certain percentage — as much as two-thirds by 2032 — of new cars to be all-electric," according to Inside EVs. Politico sells the expected rule as one that would "tackle the nation’s biggest source
On Thursday, March 21, one of the Democratic party’s most accomplished campaign consultants will die.
In a sense, Hal Malchow has been planning for this day ever since 1987, when a genetic marker test revealed he was likely to develop Alzheimer’s. At the time, he was barely 35 years old, a hustling political operative who had recently come off managing Al Gore’s first Senate campaign while overcome with worry about his mother’s early descent into dementia. (Around her 50th birthday, she was discovered wandering lost in a parking lot in the Mississippi town where she had lived her whole life.) After his mother’s untimely death, in 1990,
Industry insiders agree with former President Donald Trump’s suggestion that China is looking to annihilate American auto manufacturing on President Joe Biden’s watch.
During a speech in Ohio on Saturday, Trump warned Chinese President Xi Jinping that if he is reelected in November, China’s premier automakers will not be allowed to export their cheap Electric Vehicles (EVs) to the United States market withMost recently, reports circulated that China’s BYD is planning to build EV plants in Mexico to export the cars to the United States at low prices — out facing massive tariffs.
The Justices of the Supreme Court make their living with words. They read them, they write them, they speak them, they listen to them, and they rule with them. We currently have a Justice who uses words very poorly.
At her confirmation hearing before the Senate, Justice Jackson was asked to give a definition of “woman.” That’s a legitimate question, since many legal matters depend on whether a given person is a woman or a man.
Her answer was:
“I can’t. Not in this context. I’m not a biologist.”
The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a Texas law to take effect that enables state law enforcement to arrest people they suspect are illegally entering the United States from Mexico.
The three liberal justices publicly dissented from the court’s order clearing the way for the controversial statute, SB4. The order is not a final decision, and the case could return to the high court.
The Biden administration had urged the justices to block the law, passed by Texas’s Republican-controlled legislature last year, asserting it is an “unprecedented intrusion into federal immigration enforcement.”
Yesterday we learned the shocking news from Donald Trump's legal team that he has thus far been unable to raise the ludicrous sum of $454 million to post a bond in his civil "fraud" trial in New York City. Under the terms of the latest round of lawfare being waged against him by partisan NY Attorney General Letitia James, Trump is supposed to put up the bond in cash and can not use the value of his properties to cover the requirement while he appeals the ruling. Trump's team reportedly approached multiple financial firms, but none were willing to put up the cash against the value of
Carville: "He's Drowning, Give Him an Anvil"
15 replies
Ragin' Cajun James Carville has some advice for President Biden and his re-election campaign. "He's drowning, give him an anvil."
That's cartoonishly crazy advice, but that is how Carville operates. Carville was referring to Donald Trump's legal woes and the reaction in the press to his 'bloodbath' remark.
Look at any poll or video of any campaign event and it is clear which candidate is ahead so far. Trump leads Biden in all the traditional swing states. Trump has lines of thousands of people standing in line to get into a campaign event, no matter the size of the venue. It could be an airport hangar or
