Eleven North Carolina voters filed a challenge to block GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn from running for reelection in 2024, saying his actions on January 6, 2021, disqualified him from occupying the role. Cawthorn, who represents North Carolina's 11th congressional district, made baseless claims about the 2020 election at the "Save America Rally," which preceded the Capitol riot. In a challenge submitted to the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Monday, lawyers representing the 11 voters argued that Cawthorn's actions before and on January 6, 2021, violated the 14th Amendment. The amendment, which was adopted in 1869, says that no

Comments:

From the Democracy in Danger crowd - desperately trying to rig the election, It's worth noting some media reports downplay that only 11 people are behind this stunt and simply say North Carolina voters want to oust Cawthorn.

If they want to oust Cawthorn, they can try it in a primary, or in the general election. Anything else is illegal, unless he's convicted of illegal activity, and even then, it seems to me some Democrats have served from inside jail cells.

Has Cawthorn been charged with insurrection or rebellion? No, he hasn't. As a matter of fact not one single person has.

The NC Board of Elections does not have the authority to decide if Cawthorn violated the 14th Amendment. The Board is not empowered as a legal judicial body and where is Cawthorn's Due Process?

If the leadership (so-called) of the GOP doesn't recognize by now the necessity of engaging in fierce battle with the leftists, they are terminally stupid, and should be shown the door. Gear up & fight, you losers! Leftists have decided that you/we will do battle; you/we have no choice. The only decision is whether or not we intend to win, and win decisively.

To my knowledge, NONE of those incarcerated (illegally) for activities they allegedly participated in om January 6 have been charged with insurrection, sedition or "rebellion." IF Cawthorn had participated in any of these activities then, he would likely be incarcerated. Instead, Democrat shysters are driven to harass him since he is not in imprisoned. Democrats are unscrupulous.

PORTLAND, Ore. — A public fountain in Portland’s South Park Blocks that depicts a scene from the Torah and the Old Testament and was donated to the City of Portland by Jewish Immigrant Joseph Shemanski in 1926, was vandalized in early March, city officials say.

Intense clashes between anti-war protesters and police on college campuses is spreading alarm among Senate Democrats who worry that anger over President Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza could engulf their party’s presidential nominating convention in late August.

WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden is set to deliver an election-year roast Saturday night before a large crowd of journalists, celebrities and politicians against the backdrop of growing protests over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war. In previous years, Biden, like most of his predecessors, has used the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner to needle media coverage of his administration and jab at political rivals, notably Republican rival Donald Trump. But with protesters pledging to gather outside the dinner site, any effort by Biden to make light of Washington’s foibles and the pitfalls of the presidential campaign will have

Co-host of "The View" Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Granholm about gas prices, which she said were on the rise again. "What is the administration doing to lower those prices, and should we be worried about the conflict the Middle East contributing?" she asked.

While Blinken ostensibly represents America's national interests abroad, his job in Israel is all about Presidentish Joe Biden's reelection bid — and how Israeli's defensive military actions in the Gaza Strip are complicating things for Biden at home.
