Biden Dares Dem Party Elites: “Run Against Me”

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a defiant interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” President Joe Biden dismissed calls from Democratic elites urging him to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, inviting them to challenge him at the Democratic National Convention instead.

“I was one of the few people out there publicly saying before the 2022 election there will be no red wave, there will be no red wave,” Biden asserted. “I’ve been all over the country. I didn’t believe it at all. Then in 2023, key elections, I went into those races, not every one of them, but a lot of them, saying we were going to win. We won those.”

Biden’s confidence in his electoral success reflects his far-fetched belief that the average American voter still supports him.

“The American public is not going to move away from me as an average voter. Again, I’m here for two reasons, pal. One, to rebuild the economy for hardworking middle-class people to give everybody a shot, a straight shot, everybody gets a fair chance. Number two, remember all this talk about how I don’t have the black support. Give me a break, come with me, watch. I’m getting frustrated by the elites, not you guys, the elites in the party. Oh, they know so much more. Any of these guys that don’t think I should run, run against me, announce for president, challenge me at the convention.”

Biden’s remarks come amid growing speculation about his ability to secure another term, with some party members expressing concern over his age and recent debate performances. However, Biden remains undeterred.

“In Europe, the polls were wrong in France and there’s no right wave here in America either,” Biden added.

Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she might not endorse former President Donald Trump even though she signed a Republican National Committee (RNC) pledge to do so.

Anchor Kristen Welker asked, “Have you moved to a place where you’re no longer planning to endorse him?”

Haley said, “Well, I think, first of all, if you talk about an endorsement, you’re talking about a loss. I don’t think like that. When you’re in a race, you don’t think about losing. You think about continuing to go forward. What I can tell you is, I don’t think Donald Trump or Joe Biden should be president. I don’t think we need two candidates in their 80s.”

Welker said, “Let me try it this way. You did sign a pledge, an RNC pledge, to support the eventual nominee. Do you still feel bound by that pledge?” . . .

She continued, “The RNC pledge, I mean, at the time of the debate, we had to take it to where would you support the nominee, in order to get on that debate stage, you said yes. The RNC is now not the same RNC. Now it’s Trump’s daughter-in-law.” (Read more from “Nikki Haley: I’m No Longer Bound by Pledge to Support Trump — RNC Is ‘Not the Same’” HERE)

Trump Towers Over Republican Primary Field In Latest Polls

/1 Comment/in , /by

In the lead-up to the Republican primary race, former President Donald Trump is establishing a commanding presence, surpassing his rivals by a significant margin. According to the latest data from Morning Consult, Trump holds an impressive 66 percent support among potential GOP primary voters, dwarfing his competitors. The data, gathered from December 1 to 3 among 3,526 respondents, paints a picture of Trump’s overwhelming dominance in the field.

Trump’s lead is particularly striking, with a 53-point gap over the second-place contender, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who secures just 13 percent support. The survey places former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley in third place with ten percent support, followed by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (six percent), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (three percent support), and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (zero percent support). The survey’s margin of error for this portion is ± two percent.

Moreover, the poll delves into the favorability ratings of the candidates, revealing that Trump enjoys a 76 percent favorability among GOP primary voters. In contrast, DeSantis is viewed favorably by 62 percent, Ramaswamy by 54 percent, and Haley by 50 percent. Notably, all candidates share the same unfavorable rating of 23 percent.

The Morning Consult survey aligns with the State-Level Republican Primary survey, showcasing Trump’s dominance in various states, including those crucial to Super Tuesday. A closer look at the chart illustrates Trump’s majority support in key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Notably, Trump maintains a substantial lead of 37 points over DeSantis in their home state of Florida.

These results coincide with calls from prominent figures within the GOP urging the party to unite behind Trump. Figures such as South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem emphasize the growing support for Trump, citing polls indicating a shift from 43 percent in October to over 50 percent currently.

GOP Candidate Suspends Long-Shot Presidential Campaign

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Long-shot Republican presidential candidate Perry Johnson announced the suspension of his campaign.

Johnson failed to reach 1% in any national polling but still garnered headlines for his innovative campaign tactics, including selling $1 T-shirts to meet the 40,000 individual donor requirement. Despite this, Johnson failed to meet the criteria to reach the Republican debate stage, leading to the businessman lambasting the Republican National Committee for alleged corruption, going so far as to file a Federal Electoral Commission complaint against it. He blamed the RNC for his campaign failing to take off and for his move to suspend his campaign.

“I must admit, the corruption among leaders at the RNC during this process was appalling,” Johnson said in the statement. “Not only was the debate process set up to keep outsiders off the stage and without a voice, but when we did meet their arbitrary metrics, corrupt leaders used their authoritarian power to kick me off the stage at 11 p.m. the Monday before the debate, despite our team working with Fox News all weekend on logistics.”

“With no opportunity to share my vision on the debate stage, I have decided at this time, suspending my campaign is the right thing to do,” he said.

GOP Debate: Vivek Ramaswamy Refers to Zelensky as Pence, Christie’s ‘Pope’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy condemned his rivals at Wednesday’s Republican primary debate for visiting Ukraine in solidarity against the Russian invasion, accusing them of placing “their pope Zelensky” over American lives.

Ramaswamy’s remarks were directed at former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who both recently visited Kyiv and spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Christie offered Zelensky a sheet of paper with lyrics handwritten by New Jersey rock legend Jon Bon Jovi; Pence shared the day of his visit to Zelensky with climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

During the debate, hosted by Fox News and streamed on the video hosting site Rumble, moderators asked the candidates who among them would cut funding to Ukraine’s war effort, which currently surpasses $110 billion since Russian strongman Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of the country to oust Zelensky in February 2022. Ramaswamy, who has begun surpassing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in recent polling but still lags significantly behind former President Donald Trump, enthusiastically raised his hand.

“I think that this is disastrous that we are protecting against an invasion against somebody else’s border when we should use those same military resources to prevent across [sic] the invasion of our own southern border,” Ramaswamy explained. “We are driving Russia further into China’s hands. The Russia-China alliance is the single greatest threat we face.”

“And I find it offensive that we have professional politicians on this stage that will make a pilgrimage to Kyiv to their pope Zelensky without doing the same thing for people in Maui, or the south side of Chicago, or Kensington,” he continued. “I think we have to put the interests of Americans first, secure our own border before somebody else’s, and the reality is this is how we project strength, by making America strong at home.” (Read more from “GOP Debate: Vivek Ramaswamy Refers to Zelensky as Pence, Christie’s ‘Pope’” HERE)

Vivek Ramaswamy: Nikki Haley’s Ukraine Rhetoric Would Put Her on Board of Defense Contracting Companies

By Breitbart. Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy attacked fellow candidate Nikki Haley during Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, saying her rhetoric will make her a friend of the military-industrial complex.

Haley delivered an articulate defense for the need to provide Ukraine with aid, saying the country is the “first line of defense” against Russian leader Vladimir Putin. She also said that NATO countries such as Poland could be at risk because of Russia’s incursion into Ukraine.

“I wish you well in your future career on the board of Lockheed & Raytheon,” Ramaswamy said.

Haley then exclaimed, “I’m not on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon!”

Breitbart News’s John Binder reported that former United Nations Ambassador Haley raked in more than $256,000 as a member of Boeing’s Board of Directors during her tenure.

Trump: I Won’t Sign RNC Pledge to Endorse GOP Nominee

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Balance” that he would not sign the Republican National Committee’s pledge to support the GOP nominee to attend the first primary debate on August 23 on Fox News.

Trump said, “I’ve already decided and I’ll be announcing something next week.” . . .

Trump said, “Well, when you’re at 75, 78, 80%, and other guys are 0, 1%, 2%, 3%, you do say, ‘What’s the upside? Am I going to go up one point? But they could go up, you know. They’re not dumb people. They’re senators. They’re governors. They’re intelligent people. You have some very good people.”

Trump said, “I have a problem with the debate for another reason. I wouldn’t sign the pledge. Why would I sign a pledge if there are people on there that I wouldn’t have? I wouldn’t have certain people as, you know, somebody that I’d endorse. So, they want you to sign a pledge, but I can name three or four people that I wouldn’t support for president. So there is a problem right there.” . . .

Trump said, “There’s no reason to insult them but there are some people there that a lot of people wouldn’t endorse.” (Read more from “Trump: I Won’t Sign RNC Pledge to Endorse GOP Nominee” HERE)

Donald Trump: ‘More Enthusiasm Now’ Than in 2016, 2020

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump believes there is “more enthusiasm now” for his campaign than there was in 2016 and 2020, making the remarks during a campaign stop in Windham, New Hampshire on Tuesday.

“Everyone can see the stunning contrast between our incredible success and Joe Biden’s horrendous failures, and that’s one reason why we’re leading so big in the polls,” Trump told the crowd, largely attributing his success to that stunning contrast.

“That’s really the reason, I think. It’s more enthusiasm now than 2016 or 2020, because you’ve seen how incompetent these people are,” Trump said, deeming that incompetence “horrible.”

“In the recent Rasmussen poll, we’re up 44 points with Trump at 57, Ron DeSanctimonious 13. And the rest of them down in single digits,” Trump said to cheers.

Donald Trump Lays Out Policy Vision for Country Upon Return to Office

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president in 2024, told Breitbart News exclusively in a long-form video interview of his major policy vision for a return to the White House should voters send him back to the Oval Office next year.

Trump, who is currently leading by far in the GOP primary and in many cases leading or tied with incumbent Democrat President Joe Biden in general election surveys, said he is confident and hopeful he will be able to hang on and win another term in the White House.

“I think so. I hope so,” Trump said when asked if he believes he will win next year. “I hope so for the country or we’re going to have a country that’s finished. I have people coming up to me all the time crying — men, women, strong people, smart people — and they’re crying say ‘if you don’t win, sir, our country is finished. Our country is finished.’ I believe it.”

On his first day in office, Trump told Breitbart News he would again “create the greatest economy ever, in history.”

“You know, we had the greatest economy in history,” Trump said. “We’re going to do it again. Our jobs numbers, our employment numbers, we had the greatest economy in the history of the world frankly — and we’re going to do that again. But we’re going to be drilling for energy. We’re going to be using what’s under our feet — liquid gold. Then we’re going to start paying off debt and reducing taxes.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Lays Out Policy Vision for Country Upon Return to Office” HERE)

Trump Jokes He Needs ‘One More Indictment’ to Win Election

/7 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Former President Donald Trump joked Friday that he would win the 2024 election if he was hit with “one more indictment” during a speech before a dinner held by the Alabama Republican Party.

Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges during his Thursday arraignment after Special Counsel Jack Smith secured a four-count indictment of Trump relating to his efforts to contest the results of the 2020 election after Smith previously secured a 37-count indictment against Trump in June based on an investigation into allegations surrounding classified documents.

“They wanted to wait, and they did wait,” Trump said. “They waited right to the middle of an election and they waited until I became the dominant force in the polls because we’re dominating everybody, including Biden in the polls, and then they filed `em all, every one of of all that essentially one time, including local DA’s and AGs that even other cases right in the middle of the campaign, where we’re leading by so much and that’s not going to make any impact, because every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. We need one more indictment to close out this election, one more indictment and this election is closed out. Nobody has even a chance.” (Read more from “Trump Jokes He Needs ‘One More Indictment’ to Win Election” HERE)

WSJ Columnist Points Out the Obvious Flaw in Jack Smith’s J6 Indictment Against Trump

By Townhall. Special Counsel Jack Smith has indicted Donald Trump over January 6 on a slew of charges that appear to encroach on free speech rights. The latest indictment seems to draw on what law professor Jonathan Turley warned about concerning Mr. Smith’s interpretation of criminal statutes: he stretches them into illogical territory. It’s why Smith’s past conviction of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell was tossed out unanimously by the Supreme Court. This Trump indictment could suffer a similar fate.

The talking heads on CNN and MSNBC are loaded with left-wing legal clowns who fail to see that Smith’s charges set a precedent where everyone on the Hill would be jailed. Wall Street Journal columnist Kimberley Strassel took a katana to the reasoning behind the indictment, noting that Barack Obama would have been jailed under the Jack Smith protocol of ‘saying things that I don’t like, so I’ll draw up federal charges’ paradigm:

That’s the biggest problem with Mr. Smith’s latest broadside against Donald Trump, on top of its untested legal theories and evidence of a Justice Department double standard. As former Attorney General William Barr told CNN on Wednesday, “there were reasons not to bring” the case, and among them is “the slippery slope of criminalizing legitimate political activity.”

Take Mr. Trump out of the equation and consider more broadly what even the New York Times calls Mr. Smith’s “novel approach.” A politician can lie to the public, Mr. Smith concedes. Yet if that politician is advised by others that his comments are untruthful and nonetheless uses them to justify acts that undermine government “function,” he is guilty of a conspiracy to defraud the country. Dishonest politicians who act on dubious legal claims? There aren’t enough prisons to hold them all.

2024 Hopeful Doesn’t Believe 9/11 Panel Told Truth of Attack

/0 Comments/in , , /by

2024 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is “skeptical” about whether the 9/11 Commission told the truth about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, saying he believes the public can handle the truth.

Ramaswamy cast doubt on the commission’s reports in an interview with Blaze TV’s host Alex Stein on Tuesday night. Stein asked him whether he believes 9/11 was an “inside job” or “exactly like the government tells us.”

“I don’t believe the government has told us the truth,” Ramaswamy said. “I’m driven by evidence and data. What I’ve seen in the last several years is we have to be skeptical of what the government does tell us.”

“I haven’t seen evidence to the contrary, but do I believe everything the government told us about it? Absolutely not. Do I believe the 9/11 Commission? Absolutely not,” the Republican candidate continued. (Read more from “” HERE)
