A fringe minority in the Republican Party could topple the country’s democracy, claiming an outsized influence on politics and the future of the nation, according to a controversial former Democratic attorney general. Former President Barack Obama’s AG Eric Holder told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday that a small demographic of the Republican Party wants to be a “minority party” with “majority power.” “Can it get any worse for the American people in the Supreme Court’s new term?” Amanpour asked the 82nd Attorney General of the United States who served from 2009 to 2015. “I say that because a lot of their rulings have been

Yankees superstar Aaron Judge won the bet on himself, and won big. The consensus seems to be that the baseline deal Judge will get this winter is $300 million — or $86.5 million more than the Yankees offered in spring. And he may well get more.
Judge was seeking in spring to be in line with Mike Trout’s $36 million annual salary, according to sources, and now the early hints are that the Yankees may accede to his original asking price, and perhaps go even a bit higher. Some suggest he could even threaten Trout’s record $360 million total deal — though if he does,

Devious and desperate Democrats seem to be trying to make U.S. Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Tex.) look bad with “pathetic photoshopping,” but it probably isn’t going to work against the America First star.
In a campaign attack ad, Flores’ Democrat rival Vicente Gonzalez tried to smear her in connection with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022.
On that bill, 193 Republicans in the House voted no.
Rep. Flores was the winner of a June special election that flipped a longtime south Texas blue seat to red, and she is seeking to retain her incumbency in the upcoming midterm voting against Gonzalez, who is switching districts.

Two enraged fathers were charged with attempted murder in Florida after engaging in a road-rage gunfight, shooting each other’s daughters and then brawling on an open highway according to authorities. (Video) The men were strangers to each other. William Hale, 35, and Frank Allison, 43, got into what authorities called a high-speed “cat and mouse” chase late Saturday, according to the New York Post.
While doing that they took aim at each other’s vehicles with semi-automatic handguns hitting their daughters who were unbelievably in the cars with their parents during the wild ride. After the shootout, they got out and fought on the highway.
Donald Trump’s spokesperson claimed The New York Times engaged in “some of the most irresponsible reporting imaginable” after the outlet published a story claiming an aide for the former president moved around boxes at Mar-a-Lago before and after a subpoena to return classified materials — despite not knowing what was actually inside the boxes.
The NYT published a story Thursday claiming a Trump aide was caught on camera moving boxes “out of a storage room” at Mar-a-Lago “both before and after” the Department of Justice issued a subpoena asking for the former president to return all classified materials. The storage room in question
New York Attorney General Letitia James asked the Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday to prevent former President Donald Trump from moving his businesses to a new holding company he formed while her civil lawsuit against his current organization over widespread fraud allegations moves forward.
James filed a motion with Judge Arthur Engoron to prevent Trump from using a new statement of his business' financial conditions in dealings with lenders and insurers either to satisfy existing obligations or to obtain new loans or insurance coverage without adequately disclosing the assumptions and methods used to calculate the valuations of assets.
The Connecticut man who gunned down three Bristol cops after luring them with a phony 911 call was a beer-drinking divorced dad of two, who stunned neighbors described as the “rowdy one” in his clan.
Cop killer Nicholas Brutcher, 35, also liked guns — and is seen proudly displaying a handgun at a wedding in one Facebook post from 2016.
“Nick was the big rowdy one,” a neighbor of his brother Nathaniel told The Post Thursday.
“He was the big funny one, a big teddy bear.
Actor and film producer Mark Wahlberg joined the growing list of A-list Hollywood celebrities fleeing California.
During an interview Tuesday on the CBS talk show “The Talk,” the movie star said he moved out of the Golden State and into Nevada to give his children “a better life.”
“I moved to California many years ago to pursue acting and I’ve only made a couple of movies in the entire time that I was there,” Wahlberg said. “So, to be able to give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams, whether it be my daughter as an equestrian, my son as a basketball player, my younger son
As Julio covered on Wednesday, email documents revealed by Fox News' Bill Melugin show that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knew that the slandered Border Patrol agents did not actually whip illegal immigrants. Mayorkas still failed to defend them, though. Calls to impeach the secretary, with impeachment articles having been first filed by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) in August of last year, have ramped up.
Biggs continued his calls over Twitter on Wednesday.

Speaking on the Tuesday edition of Just the News’ “Just the News, Not Noise” show, country singer and star John Rich blasted the country music industry for being infected by woke culture and said that he no longer has the backing of the industry.
Discussing how the industry no longer backs him thanks to his new, hit song “Progress,” Rich said:
“I don’t have the backing of the country music industry really much anymore. And that’s okay. I would rather have my freedom of speech than their approval any day of the week.”
A jury in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, reached a decision in the trial of Parkland mass shooter Nikolas Cruz Thursday, recommending a life sentence without possibility of parole for the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School attacker.
The jury was required to be unanimous for a death penalty recommendation, and at least one juror withheld support for the death penalty in the 17 verdicts for the murder victims.
ABC News reported that Cruz “pleaded guilty last year to 17 counts of first-degree murder and 17 counts of attempted first-degree murder.”
Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer read the verdict dealing with each victim, each of which cited “mitigating circumstances” preventing a death penalty decision.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Thursday on his network’s coverage of the January 6 House Select Committee hearing that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) sacrificed her career to hold former President Donald Trump “accountable.”
After the committee voted to subpoena Trump, Tapper said, “There you have it, a moment in history. With nine aye votes, zero no votes, the committee has now just decided unanimously to subpoena Donald J. Trump for both testimony and documents relating to the attempt to overturn the election. It is a theatrical display in a way. They could have just announced it in a press release, but they wanted this moment recorded

Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Vail, Colorado and delivered remarks on protecting and preserving the state’s outdoor spaces.
Blue collar Joe Biden wanted everyone to know he’s a relatable guy who struggled to make ends meet.
Old Joe from Scranton said he taught his boys – and his entire family – how to ski in Vail, Colorado.
Because everyone can afford ski trips to Vail.
“I taught my boys to ski here. I taught my family to ski here… For us easterners, we talk about that at dinner. No, I’m serious. All those memories that you all understandably take for granted, they’re a big deal where I come from,” Biden said.
Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday said that former President Trump’s “unelectability will be palpable” by the 2024 presidential election and that the next Republican nominee will likely be someone else.
“I think Trump’s unelectability will be palpable by then. We all know that he will lose. … We all know that he is so much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle, so why would we want to go with that?” Ryan said in an interview with Teneo for its “Insights Series.” Ryan is vice chairman of Teneo, a public relations
Vice President Kamala Harris has mastered the art of using a hundred words when ten would suffice. She’s also mastered the art of throwing them together in a way that leaves people trying to figure out exactly what she is saying.
During an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Harris discussed President Joe Biden’s recent declaration on marijuana, abortion and the importance of voting in the midterm elections.
But somewhere along the line, Harris dropped this gem: (Tweet/Video) “When you see our kids, and I truly believe that they are our children, they are the children of our country, of our communities, I mean,
On Tuesday Joe Biden threatened US ally Saudi Arabia during his CNN interview. Biden told Jake Tapper Saudi Arabia will face “consequences” for its oil production cuts announced this past week.
Less than 24 hours later on Wednesday night the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry released a public statement on social media.
The Kingdom confirmed that Joe Biden attempted to coerce them to cut oil prices until AFTER the election.
In the Foreign Ministry’s statement, the kingdom confirms that Joe Biden pressured the Saudi royalty to delay cuts in output and lower oil costs for another month until after the midterm election.
The Treasury Department is auditing the migrant flights authorized by Governor Ron DeSantis to assess whether the expenditures were appropriate.
In response to a petition from Democratic lawmakers, the department’s inspector general wrote in an October 7 letter that the agency would investigate whether Florida misused federal funds to relocate illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. The DeSantis administration has maintained that the trips were approved on a bipartisan basis by the state legislature in a budget package many months ago.
Richard K. Delmar, deputy inspector general for the Treasury Department, told Senator Ed Markey and five other Democrats that he intended “to get this work underway as soon as possible”
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that the January 6 House Select Committee has a lot of new evidence to present at the hearing Thursday.
Anchor Wolf Blitzer asked, “What new evidence can we expect your committee to lay out in tomorrow’s hearing?”
Raskin said, “Well, we have a bunch of new documentary evidence and statements that establish the central role that Donald Trump played in his overwhelming culpability in these events. I don’t think any reasonable, open-minded observer could watch what we’re going to do tomorrow and what we’ve done over the course of these hearings, put it all together, and not come away with one conclusion,
Ever since the experimental Covid-19 ‘vaccine’ was introduced, a staggering and horrifying phenomenon has been sweeping the Western world. We have seen it happen to athletes, performers, musicians, news anchors, soldiers, high schoolers, healthcare workers, random people, politicians, and so on. People have been dropping to the ground like flies because of heart-related issues that are, in virtually every case, caused by an adverse reaction to the mRNA jab.
It’s undeniable; the rise in these life-threatening incidents has a clear and proven culprit (as numerous studies have shown a clear link between the mRNA spike protein and the litany of complications that are arising).
The Treasury Department inspector general confirmed in a letter to Democratic lawmakers that the agency is planning to audit whether spending by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on migrant flights was improper.
The lawmakers asked the Treasury Department to look into whether Florida improperly used American Rescue Plan funds for the migrant flights to Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, which drew widespread media attention.
Florida lawmakers authorized a $12 million migrant program funded with interest earnings from the federal Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund, according to documents.
It's no secret that billionaire philanthropist and financier George Soros has had a hand in the rise of many major political players. From his heavy investment in the sheriffs in Arizona to his funding of grassroots activists in Ferguson, Soros's money and influence seem to be nestled in every nook and cranny across the country. But just in the past month, two judges in two different states have stood up against prominent figures that are heavily funded by Soros: Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Virginia's Loudoun County commonwealth attorney Buta Biberaj.

Court ruling 27 replies
A top election official in Pennsylvania says the state will disregard the U.S. Supreme Court's guidance on counting mail-in ballots arriving in envelopes with typos or incorrect dates, saying that the state's Commonwealth Court has already established the practice as licit.
Pennsylvania's election laws have historically required voters to include a signature and date on the outside of return envelopes when voting by mail.
However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.
Alex Jones has been ordered to pay a total of $965 million in damages to the plaintiffs of the defamation trial surrounding his lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting. The 15 plaintiffs of the case included the relatives of eight Sandy Hook victims, as well as a former FBI agent suing Jones.
A Connecticut jury reached a unanimous verdict Wednesday afternoon before the judge read aloud a detailed report of the various damages owed to each plaintiff by Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems.
Jones had already been found liable for defamation for spreading disinformation about the shooting, which killed 20
No one imagined this was feasible. Every expert put the timeline for repair at around a year. However, the git r’ done crews and the Florida Dept of Transportation have accomplished a massive feat of reconstruction in phenomenal time. Major kudos to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the construction crews who worked every hour of every day, day and night, for two straight weeks and have created/built a temporary bridge to Sanibel Island.
