According to reports, former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who turned independent, is out of the running for Donald Trump’s vice president. Gabbard held a release party for her book, For Love of Country: Leave the Democrat Party Behind, hosted by Ben Domenech and Meghan McCain, on Thursday. According to Spectator gossip columnist Cockburn, Gabbard was told on Wednesday that she would not be Trump’s VP pick. “Word on the street was that one day prior, Tulsi was informed by President Donald Trump that she would not be chosen as his vice president,” reports Cockburn.

Meghan McCain? Hopefully this will end Jesse Waters' infatuation with her.

"former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard" "While a member of Congress, she served as a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) from 2013 to 2016, and resigned to endorse Bernie Sanders' campaign for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination." No further questions, your honor.

Good person, but too independent: she never played ball with the Democrats; doubt she'd play ball on the ticket. Hope there's a spot for her somewhere.

Should never have been considered. She's a Dem. A somewhat more sane and patriotic Dem than most, but STILL a Dem, and would NOT be a good fit for a Trump VP.

I have seen her interviewed on many shows and find her intelligent and interesting She has given many insights on why the dems act so crazy. I am not afraid of her but certainly do not think she would be the vp. We need a solid conservative in that corner supporting Trump and cheering on America. She is an independent who knows the tricks of the dems and might be able to impart some good insider advice on their tricks. There might be a spot for her in the administration but not vp. I do not think she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

OK, that’s fine, but they said she is tied with Byron Donalds for third place? I cannot believe people do not think this guy is the very best choice. Of course, being minority is of help, but this guy is an alpha male who fights like heck for Trump, and for conservative causes. He would be perfect, and a forceful voice for our country on the world stage. I sure don’t get Tim Scott at all – – he’s a beta male for sure and I don’t think any of our world leaders would fear him in anyway. Another great selection would be JD Vance!

Everybody is OUT until one person is IN. I'll spare myself the anticipation and wait for Trump's official announcement. I'm with #9, anyone who has supported Bernie Sanders at any point of their career has questionable or non-existent judgement.

Chattanooga, Tennessee, is known as “Gig City,” not for its many live music venues, but for its role as the first city in the Western Hemisphere to offer 1 gigabit-per-second fiber internet service to residents and businesses, an honor that it claimed in 2010. In 2024, Chattanooga has come to be representative of a different movement—the labor movement in the South. An overwhelming vote by the city’s Volkswagen employees on April 19 to join the United Auto Workers (UAW) union was the first crack in a decades-long barrier holding back the labor movement south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Until now, the Chattanooga facility has been the only non-union Volkswagen plant worldwide.

Former President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit on Monday against the American Broadcasting Companies (ABC) and ABC News host George Stephanopoulos, accusing them of defamation. The complaint alleges that Mr. Stephanopoulos defamed President Trump on March 10, during an episode of “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” when he repeatedly stated during the broadcast that a jury had found President Trump liable for the rape of writer E. Jean Carroll, despite being “aware of the truth.”

Workers at an unmarked building suspected of housing migrants in Tuscon, Ariz. refused to answer Fox News' Rachel Campos-Duffy's questions and asked her to leave the facility, she reported Monday. The "Fox & Friends Weekend" host received a tip to investigate the facility Casa Alitas, which had all signs removed from its exterior. She explained the lack of signs was a signal it was an NGO — non-governmental organization — housing illegal immigrants. After asking if she could book a room, a woman behind the hotel counter asked Campos-Duffy to leave the building, claiming she was on "private property."

The Senate GOP leadership’s draft border deal with the White House would reward illegal migration and encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates, says the Immigration Accountability Project. “There’s nothing in there that [restricts immigration], in fact, it’s just going to encourage more people to come,” said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration Accountability Project, adding: It essentially authorizes the Biden administration to continue to catch and release people into the country. It authorizes them to give them work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody that they’re able to funnel to a port of entry.

President Joe Biden conceded Thursday that December’s inflation report shows that the administration must do more to lower costs and cautioned that Republicans taking the White House instead would raise prices for households. The December Consumer Price Index featured both month-to-month and year-over-year inflation clocking in above projections. Monthly inflation increased by 0.3% while yearly inflation rose by 3.4%, compared to estimates of 0.2% and 3.2% respectively. The report comes as the Federal Reserve weighs future rate increases following nearly three years of hikes.

The Supreme Court put a roadblock in front of President Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness plans, but it has not stopped them. Biden announced a massive student debt transfer totaling at least $400 billion in August 2022, only to see it struck down by the high court in June 2023. But since then, it has been full steam ahead for the Biden administration and its Education Department, with so many student debt actions taken over the last six months that it's hard even for experts to keep up with it all.

Even though Donald Trump is now the nation’s front-running presidential candidate in both polls and betting odds, the Colorado Supreme Court has issued a 4–3 decision that bans the citizens of Colorado from voting for him. The supposed grounds for their decision is that Trump can’t be the president under the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment because he “engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021.” To support that claim, the Colorado judges—all appointed by Democrats—repeatedly quote Trump out of context to make it seem like he said things that he did not.

The Libertarian Party on Sunday nominated party activist Chase Oliver for president, rejecting former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after they each spoke at the party’s convention. Third parties have rarely been competitive in U.S. presidential elections and the Libertarian candidate four years ago won 1% of the vote. But the party’s decision is getting more attention this year due to the rematch between Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, which could hinge again on small vote margins in a handful of contested states. “We did it! I am officially the presidential nominee,” Oliver posted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s time to unify and move forward for liberty.”

An openly gay former Democrat who once supported Barack Obama, Oliver used his victory speech to rail against the U.S. “war machine” and demand an end to the “genocide in Gaza,” according to the Washington Examiner. After author Michael Rectenwald was eliminated from the race during Sunday night’s voting, the final vote was between Oliver and “none of the above,” in which he ultimately prevailed with around 60 percent support. He announced economist Mike ter Maat as his running mate.

Donald Trump spoke at the Libertarian Party Convention on Saturday night and, given the controversy over the invitation within the party, it wasn't surprising that many in the audience expressed their displeasure at the former president's presence. Trump was trying to pry some Libertarian Party voters away from Robert Kennedy. who spoke earlier in the day to a sparse crowd. Besides that, it took some courage to speak at a venue where he knew he would receive a mixed reception. Trump paid the crowd little mind, making his points and occasionally responding to the crowd.

At this point in time finding Donald Trump guilty of anything, any crime at all, is just a matter of Judge Juan Merchan following through on expectations. The entire world is watching what happens in New York City through the prism of ridiculous lawfare and politics.

The illusion of a nonprejudicial justice system has long past and everyone can see the extreme politicization taking place in Judge Merchan’s courtroom.

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg struggled Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation to explain why the Biden administration has only manged to build “seven or eight” electric vehicle (EV) charging stations thus far. As Breitbart News has noted, while the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 allocated $7.5 billion for EV stations, as part of building a national EV charging infrastructure, no EV charging stations had been built by the end of 2023. Only about seven or eight had been built under the program by April — while the fossil fuel industry has been cashing in by lobbying to have the stations built at existing gas stations.
