Trump Notches Another Victory Ahead Of Super Tuesday

/3 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump secured another 2024 victory on the eve of Super Tuesday, beating former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in the North Dakota caucus, according to The Associated Press.

Trump led Haley 84.9% to 14.1% in the North Dakota caucus where 29 delegates are at stake, the AP projected at the time of writing. The former president has now won ten nominating contests this cycle, while Haley secured her first victory in the Washington, D.C., primary on Sunday.

The former president most recently won caucuses in Idaho, Missouri and Michigan on Saturday, as well as Michigan’s primary on Tuesday. Trump also beat Haley in her home state of South Carolina, and secured wins in the U.S. Virgin Islands caucus, the Nevada caucus, the New Hampshire primary and the Iowa caucus.

Haley lost to the “None of These Candidates” option in the Nevada primary, which did not count for delegates.

Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum encouraged his constituents to caucus for Trump, who he endorsed a month after suspending his own presidential campaign in early December. (Read more from “Trump Notches Another Victory Ahead Of Super Tuesday” HERE)

Nikki Haley Wins a Republican Primary for the First Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley won the District of Columbia’s GOP primary on Sunday, her first win in a Republican nominating contest after a string of losses to former President Donald Trump.

Haley carried the Washington, D.C., primary with just under 63% of the vote, according to The Associated Press. The primary comes two days before Super Tuesday contests, with hundreds more delegates at stake, could steepen her already daunting path to the nomination.

“Thank you, DC!” Haley wrote on X of the results. “We fight for every inch.”

Trump carried nominating contests in Missouri, Michigan and Idaho one day before the D.C. primary. Haley captured all 19 delegates at stake in Sunday’s contest, but still lags far behind Trump’s delegate count.

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 Smashes Nikki Haley 924-0 in Missouri, CRUSHES Her in Idaho

/1 Comment/in , /by

Word is not out yet on if Nikki Haley will declare a second-place moral victory after she collected ZERO delegate-equivalents in the Show-Me State. . .

Nikki fared little better in Idaho, getting crushed by a whopping 80 percentage points.

Lil’ Nikki doesn’t care about votes in what she probably considers to be flyover states, however. All she’s seeing are big Democrat donor and Military-Industrial Complex dollar signs as she amps up her increasingly deranged and feverish attacks on the presumptive nominee.

Democrats Are Furious That Due Process Is Ruining Their Lawfare Schedule

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Monday, Special Counsel Jack Smith requested the Supreme Court take up the question of presidential immunity in the election interference case against former president Donald Trump. It took only a few hours for the court to grant that request.

Now, you might be under the impression that such a quick result would greatly please Democrats. But there’s a major hitch. It seems that the justices forgot to ask Rachel Maddow to plan their schedules. Though the court expedited the case, arguments won’t be heard until April, with a decision likely to come in late June — making it unlikely, though not impossible, that there will be a trial before the 2024 election.

With this news, scores of left-wing pundits accused the justices of conspiring to help Trump win the election. By granting Smith’s request, Chris Hayes complained it “was a clear, unmistakable sign from the MAGA majority of the Trump-created court that they are with him. That they are going to use their power to make sure that he does not face trial in an election year for attempting to end American democracy.”

Sometimes, I wonder if Hayes and the others who happily watch constitutional protections and procedures dismantled when it suits their partisan needs know they are engaged in a mass act of projection.

Consider that Hayes demands SCOTUS render a judgment on a historic immunity case on a schedule that comports with the partisan objectives of Democrats – namely, putting Trump in front of a judge at the height of a 2024 presidential campaign. Or, in other words, Hayes wants the court to do the very thing he contends is corrupt for the court to do.

Trump Says He Spoke to Laken Riley’s Parents, Bashes Biden for Not ‘Saying Her Name’

/14 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump said he spoke with the parents of murdered nursing student Laken Riley Thursday while visiting Eagle Pass, Texas.

Trump visited the illegal immigration hotspot Thursday while President Joe Biden was in Brownsville, Texas, to give remarks on the border situation. During his remarks, Trump ripped Biden for not mentioning Riley, whose alleged killer, Jose Antonio Ibarra, an immigrant from Venezuela who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally, was arrested by University of Georgia police Saturday and charged with murdering the 22-year-old nursing student.

“Just one week ago, a beautiful 22-year-old nursing student from Georgia was barbarically attacked, almost unrecognizable while she was out on her morning run. She was on a morning run,” Trump said. “She was a beautiful young woman, she was a great person, best nursing student there was. I spoke to her parents yesterday, they’re incredible people that are devastated beyond belief. She was beautiful in so many ways and brutally assaulted, horrifically beaten, kidnapped and savagely murdered.”

“The monster charged in her death is an illegal alien migrant who was let into our country and released into our communities by crooked Joe Biden,” Trump continued. “He is crooked, I took the name away from Hillary because she’s no longer relevant. I guess she was terrible, but what he’s doing is just unbelievable… Joe Biden will never say Laken Riley’s name, but we will say it and we will remember we’re not going to forget her.” (Read more from “Trump Says He Spoke to Laken Riley’s Parents, Bashes Biden for Not ‘Saying Her Name'” HERE)

Trump at Texas Border: ‘This is a Joe Biden Invasion’

/8 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald J. Trump visited the small Texas border town of Eagle Pass on Thursday, offering his assessment of the current border situation. Trump began by describing the horrible murder of Laken Riley, a nursing student at the University of Georgia at Athens. The former President blamed the murder of Riley and other crime victims on what he referred to as the “Joe Biden Invasion.”

Trump’s remarks included details concerning his plan to regain control of the border as he lamented the deliberate destruction of the most secure border in history. The destruction occurred on January 21, 2021, with President Joe Biden canceling the former president’s strict and successful border policies. Trump’s statement described his assessment of the border, saying, “Three years ago, we had the most secure border in history, people weren’t coming because they knew they couldn’t get in, we weren’t promising free education, free medical, free everything.”

Trump went on to tout the progress towards securing the border under his administration, saying, “We ended catch and release, we built 571 miles of border wall, much more than I promised I would build.” Trump added, “We purchased another 200 miles (of wall materials), and they sold that — much of it for five cents on the dollar.”

Trump went on to describe the removal policies canceled President Biden’s watch, including “Remain in Mexico,” Asylum Cooperative Agreements (ACA’s) to speed asylum adjudication while migrants wait in Central American northern triangle countries, and the Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion mechanism.

Democrat Judge Removes Trump From State’s Presidential Ballot

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A Democrat state judge in Illinois ordered on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump must be removed from the presidential ballot, claiming that Trump engaged in insurrection during the January 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol.

Judge Tracie R. Porter of the State Circuit Court in Cook County ruled that the State Board of Elections “shall remove Donald J. Trump from the ballot for the General Primary Election on March 19, 2024, or cause any votes cast for him to be suppressed.”

Porter stayed her order, giving Trump until Friday to appeal her ruling while early voting in the state’s presidential primary is already underway.

“The Soros-funded Democrat front-groups continue to attempt to interfere in the election and deny President Trump his rightful place on the ballot,” a spokesperson for the Trump Campaign said in a statement. “Today, an activist Democrat judge in Illinois summarily overruled the state’s board of elections and contradicted earlier decisions from dozens of other state and federal jurisdictions. This is an unconstitutional ruling that we will quickly appeal. In the meantime, President Trump remains on the Illinois ballot, is dominating the polls, and will Make America Great Again!” (Read more from “Democrat Judge Removes Trump From State’s Presidential Ballot” HERE)

Getting Pressed: Undercover Video Captures Trump Judge at Health Club

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The New York judge who cooperated with AG Letitia James in her war on President Donald Trump, finding him guilty of fraud where there were no victims of any of his business dealings, no one lost any money and, in fact, the banks wanted to do MORE business with him, has been caught on undercover video.

Arthur Engoron complains he’s been getting “hate mail” but says he’s “strong,” in the video from James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group:

Engoron repeatedly censored Trump during a weeks-long trial, claimed there was evidence of “fraud,” wildly claimed he knew better than real estate experts and that Trump’s Florida home was worth under $20 million when experts put it at closer to $500 million, and imposed a judgment of more than $$350 million in the case, which now is on appeal.

O’Keefe reported, “An insider where the Judge works out at Equinox in Great Neck, N.Y., also recorded Judge Engoron ‘creeping girls out.’ Sources say Engoron does this ‘every visit’ each morning. The video shows a woman using a machine clearly annoyed and gesturing with her hands for him to ‘back off.'” (Read more from “Getting Pressed: Undercover Video Captures Trump Judge at Health Club” HERE)

Supreme Court Will Decide if Trump Immune From Prosecution for Attempting to Overturn Election

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted former President Donald Trump’s request to decide if he is immune from prosecution on charges of attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The court will consider “Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office.”

The Wednesday court order granting certiorari to Trump says oral arguments will begin the week of April 22. The order also instructs the appellate court to keep Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump paused until the Supreme Court reaches a decision on the immunity matter.

That question has already delayed what was an expedited schedule for the prosecution. A federal grand jury in D.C. indicted Trump on four counts on August 1, 2023, and after legal back-and-forth between Smith and Trump’s legal team, the court set a March 4, 2024 trial date.

Before today’s order by the court, District Judge Tanya Chutkan had delayed that trial date, as the case has been on hold since December. Today’s order makes clear that pre-trial work in that prosecution must remain on hold.
