Federal judge blocks enforcement of new
Ohio ban on noncitizen contributions to
ballot issue campaigns
Posted By: OhioNick, 9/1/2024 4:29:56 PM
A federal judge on Saturday blocked key portions of Ohio’s new law restricting lawful permanent residents, visa-holders and others from contributing to statewide ballot issue campaigns. The injunction came one day before the law was to take effect. U.S. District Judge Michael H. Watson, in a 53-page ruling, prohibited the state from pursuing civil or criminal liability for any alleged violations based on the definition of a “foreign national.” Ohio’s House Bill 1 passed earlier this year, incorporating what’s already federal law to the state level, prohibiting foreign citizens from contributing to political campaigns.

A bombshell congressional report claims would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks was incapacitated by a local cop before he was killed by a Secret Service sniper.
Two months after Crooks shot the former president's ear at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a preliminary report from Rep. Clay Higgins offered a differing narrative to the official one pushed by the FBI.
While it was initially claimed that Crooks was shot in the head within seconds by a Secret Service sniper, Higgins' report claimed it was actually a local SWAT operator who stopped the gunman's hail of bullets.
Could anyone have imagined twenty years ago or even in the darkest days of the Obama administration that Islamic terrorists would feel free to rampage across the streets of Manhattan waving terrorist flags?
But here we are.
No arrests. No FBI agents knocking on their doors. Despite formal condemnations and press releases, the Jihadists know that they have the backing of the Democrats, the Left, and the media. What else do they need?
This is what they’re doing a week before 9/11. Can you imagine what they’ll do on 9/11?

to Admit Ella Emhoff Is ‘Cute’ —
‘Unapologetic Misogyny’ 45 replies
MAGA’s attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, Ella Emhoff, stem from “unapologetic misogyny” and “toxic masculinity,” as well as a refusal to “admit to themselves that she’s cute,” according to a left-wing Salon piece that accuses Trump’s team of seeking to “win over the worst men in the nation by appealing directly to their controlling, misogynist desires.”
The Tuesday essay, titled “MAGA attacks on Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter threaten to backfire on Donald Trump,” was penned by Salon senior politics writer Amanda Marcotte, who accused leading voices within the MAGA movement of “proving that they are weird” for their ongoing obsession with Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter.
Everybody Loves Raymond and Carol’s Second Chance star Patricia Heaton told PragerU CEO Marissa Streit that Christians need to stand with Jews and Israel, because “Christ’s biological family is being murdered,” adding that those who are faithful should understand that “the history of the Church” involved sacrificing for their beliefs.”
“Christ’s biological family is being murdered,” Heaton told Streit. “Our savior’s biological family, the Jewish people, are being murdered. We need to stand for them. We are grafted into Israel by the graciousness of God, so we need to stand for them.”
Vice President Kamala Harris has chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to serve as her running mate in the 2024 presidential race. [SNIP] As governor, some of Walz’ political accomplishments include ensuring tuition-free meals at participating state universities, enshrining abortion rights into state law, banning conversion therapy and providing protections for gender-affirming healthcare.

Iran has “domination” over American interests in the region and can strike the U.S. in “less than half a day,” according to a senior Iranian Ayatollah who called for “blood vengeance” against the United States for numerous “American crimes,” following Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination in the heart of Tehran last week.
In a sermon which aired on Iran’s Khorasan Razavi TV on Friday, Ayatollah Ahmad Alamolhoda declared in the shrine city of Mashhad, that Iran’s “blood vengeance” should extend beyond Israel to include the United States.
“We have to apply this blood vengeance against the United States as well,” he declared.
A Canadian farmer who wants to build a house on his land is being forced to pay $400,000 for a government-mandated archeological dig on his property - and could face jail time if he does not comply.
Bruce Cassel, 75, was required to get an archeological assessment of his Ontario farmland when he decided to build a dream retirement home for him and his wife more than four years ago.
During the dig, archeologists discovered bits of stone identified as Indigenous artifacts. Now the owner could face massive fines or even jail time unless he pays to complete the final stages of the assessment, which he said totaled $400,000, National Post reported.
Canada’s colonists celebrated the weekend in the traditional fashion by calling for the murder of non-Muslims in Toronto and Montreal. [SNIP] These are entirely explicit calls for Islamic terrorism and violence, with no government response.
Had they been truckers protesting pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, there would have been outrage and action. Trudeau would have declared a State of Emergency and had their bank accounts frozen.
But much as in the UK, there are two sets of rules and as progressives in good standing, Islamic Jihadists get a pass unless they actually start doing things.

Meanwhile, the Harris-Biden administration seems to be taking the tragedy as license to push Israel into a cease-fire deal that could let the terrorists re-supply.
The Justice Department is charging several top-ranking Hamas terrorists for their role in perpetrating the October 7, 2023, mass slaughter of Israeli civilians that jump-started the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind behind October 7, and five other senior Hamas officials are facing federal terrorism charges for orchestrating the October 7 attacks, the Justice Department announced Tuesday. This will be the first official step towards holding Hamas criminally accountable almost a year after the massacre took place. Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,000 innocent civilians on October 7, including over 40 American citizens.

Brutal gang wars may soon be on the horizon in Chicago thanks to border czar Kamala Harris’ intentional dereliction of duty. (Snip)
Shortly after the news broke, a Chicago resident posted a video on Tiktok that raises cause for concern that rampant gang violence could break out unless the Venezuelans are swiftly removed (not likely to happen). In the video, he chillingly warns that the Venezuelan gangs are in for a rough ride if they continue to terrorize residents of the Windy City. This includes them getting potentially ‘chopped up’ if they don’t stay home.

Hamas on Monday taunted kin of the six hostages found slain in Gaza by releasing haunting pre-recorded footage of the victims — and warning the gut-wrenching clips were only a teaser to their “last messages.”
One of the gaunt and exhausted-looking hostages, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, said in the eerie propaganda video that she feared she’d never escape alive. Haunting video posted on Telegram on Monday shows the six doomed Israeli hostages speaking before their murders.

“Bombing here never stops, and we are afraid for our lives. We are scared of dying here,’’ Yerushalmi said, according to the Jerusalem Post.
James Talarico is a Democrat Texas rep. and a ‘progressive’ Christian.
During a recent appearance on MSNBC, he lectured Christians who support Trump, complaining that they are ignoring Jesus and worshipping at the feet of Donald Trump. That’s not very Christian of him, is it?
Apparently no one has explained to Talarico that many Christians support Trump because he respects their beliefs, unlike the left which does nothing but demean and insult Christians.
From Twitchy:
Listen to how he tells MSNBC he voting for Kamala Harris over the impeached insurrectionist, convicted felon, and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump “out of love for his neighbor.”
The Kamala Harris Campaign Is Collapsing
15 replies
The Kamala Harris campaign is collapsing across the board. That was the case even before the horrific news from San Francisco.
That news is that the first-round draft choice of the San Francisco 49ers was just shot in broad daylight in a “safe” and “upscale” section of San Francisco. As the initial information about that shocking crime filtered out, I heard from three political operatives that this would reflect very badly on Kamala Harris. Their immediate reasoning is that former President Donald J. Trump and his campaign have very effectively tied “Comrade Kamala” to the increasing failures of crime and drug-infested San Francisco and California.

Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris supported racial reparations for black Americans during her 2020 run for the White House, and so far has not denounced the policy position.
Nationally, reparations are deeply unpopular, with about two-thirds of Americans opposing such policy. Opponents, specifically asked about reparations for slavery, often argue that Americans would be paying for sins they didn’t commit, and paying people who didn’t actually experience slavery.
“In the area of reparations for descendants of Africans enslaved — if you’re elected president, would you sign that bill if it came across your desk?” racial agitator and MSNBC personality Al Sharpton asked
Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate foisted on America by the Democrat political machine—a vice president who has never in her life won a delegate in a Democratic primary—has been releasing ludicrous ads lately claiming she’d be tough on the border.
What an absolute joke.
Tell that to the police who patrol the streets of Manhattan, some of whom claim that up to 75 percent of all the crimes committed in the Big Apple are by illegal aliens.
