Nikki Haley is slowly rising in the Republican presidential primary polls. She put in good performances in the first two RNC debates and it is starting to pay off. Haley and the other Republicans running in the primary have been slow to criticize Trump or draw sharp distinctions between his record and what they pledge to do in office. That’s a problem when the frontrunner, Trump, is so far ahead in the polls. Haley spoke out in Las Vegas on Saturday at the Republican Jewish Coalition annual summit. It’s a gathering for donors so if there is ever a good time to distinguish yourself as a candidate from the others

FTA: “But right now, we need to have a leader who also knows how to put things back together.” [said Haley]. In other words: We need someone to bring us back to the swamp. No thanks. I don't trust her.

Our 2024 candidate needs to turn the country upright, clean out the Deep State, persecute the democrats who have ruined this country and bring back the respect we had across the world until 2021 when we became a joke. That candidate is not Nikki Haley. She needs to follow Mike Pence out the door with the big "L" on it. "Begone foul dwimmerlaik!"

I just cannot get over the fact that she doesn’t open her mouth when she speaks. She holds her teeth together like her jaw is not hinged. I know, that is petty, but this quirk must have some kind of psychological root. Nevertheless, I do not trust her. By the way if she believes the country needs someone who can put things back together. Well then Trump’s your guy. Just look at his accomplishments. The guy can build and he knows what needs to be destroyed. I do not fear having Trump at the helm, whereas Nikki gives me great pause because she is not of woman of integrity. The driving factor in her run for the presidency is her own ego and that is not going to cut it in today’s political climate. The people know and understand we are standing at the edge of the abyss and know the one guy who has the will and determination to pull us back from certain destruction. It’s not Nikki Haley. Elect Trump 2024! He’s trustworthy and has a superb record of success.

When as governor Haley caved to the racists and took down the Confederate Flag from the SC Capitol I knew she had no spine. Now with this attack on the man who brought her back from that obscurity she has proven how untrustworthy and duplicitous she really is. I will never vote for such as person. So, her so-called rise in the polls means nothing.

I have real doubts about Haley, but the confederate flag removal is not one of them. A deluded punk committed a mass atrocity so horrendous that it altered the political dynamic literally overnight. It was that dynamic with which Haley had to deal as a 21st century governor.

Billionaire Elon Musk says “X,” formerly known as Twitter, will suspend any user who calls for the genocide of Jewish communities. “Yes, decolonization” necessarily implies a Jewish genocide, thus it is unacceptable to any reasonable person,” Musk tweeted on Nov. 15 in agreement with a tweet of editor and Manhattan Institute Fellow Colin Wright discussing the origin of the term. Musk was responding to a comment he made earlier last week when he said that the term “decolonization” implied Jewish genocide. “‘Decolonization’ is the woke version of jihad,

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has initiated an investigation into Media Matters following allegations of “potential fraudulent activity” related to its reports attacking Elon Musk’s X/Twitter. The Texas Tribune reports that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into Media Matters, the leftist media watchdog group, for alleged “potential fraudulent activity.” This move comes in the wake of accusations by X/Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who claimed the group manipulated data on the social media platform. The controversy began after Media Matters published a report accusing X/Twitter of displaying advertisements from prominent companies next to “white nationalist hashtags.” Musk, however, contended that the watchdog group grossly misrepresented

Hamas negotiators are in the final stages of striking a deal that would include the release of at least 50 hostages in exchange for a pause in fighting, the chief of the terrorist group said on Tuesday. Hamas leaders are “close to reaching a truce agreement” with Israel, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh said in a statement provided to Reuters. The agreement is in its “final stages” and a deal is “closer than it has ever been,” a source familiar with the negotiations told the wire service.

A federal appeals court issued a ruling Monday that could gut the Voting Rights Act, saying only the federal government — not private citizens or civil rights groups — is allowed to sue under a crucial section of the landmark civil rights law. The decision out of the 8th Circuit will almost certainly be appealed to the Supreme Court. But should it stand, it would mark a dramatic rollback of the enforcement of the law that led to increased minority representation in American politics. The appellate court ruled that there is no “private right of action” for Section 2 of the law — which prohibits voting practices that

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for Donald Trump and the Justice Department squared off Monday in a federal appeals court, where the former president’s lawyers are argued before a panel of skeptical judges that his constitutional rights have been violated by a gag order barring him from disparaging witnesses and prosecutors in the election interference case. The judges did not immediately issue a decision, but questioned Trump's lawyer on his contention that his speech can't be curtailed at all and grilled the government's attorney over provisions in the gag order that bar Trump from criticizing special counsel Jack Smith and his staff and high-profile possible witnesses in the case.

The Israeli military released video of fortified tunnels running under the al-Shifa Hospital complex on Sunday, providing further further visual evidence that Hamas used the hospital for their military operations. Two separate videos, one apparently recorded by a drone and the other by an animal or a robot, show a damaged spiral staircase leading down to a 55-meter section of fortified tunnel. The IDF says the tunnel runs ten meters beneath al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City — the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip. The 55-meter section of the tunnel ends at a blast-proof door complete with a firing hole, apparently built by Hamas to shoot

Democrats have a huge antisemitism problem, and Joe Biden is rapidly losing support with a substantial part of his base because of it. It is an understatement when I say that I think Biden is a failed president, but I give him credit for being better on the Israel-Hamas war than I thought he would be. Yes, he has been pressuring Israel to stop short of where it should, but this is mostly a result of the Administration’s judgment that US interests diverge from Israel’s regarding the war. I am not sure that any other US president, other than Trump, would have provided stronger support for Israel.

It also showed surveillance footage of terrorists taking other hostages to the hospital. As Breitbart News reported last week, the IDF recovered Corporal Marciano’s body during operations near Shifa Hospital. Hamas had forced her to make a propaganda video in which she appeared alive one moment, and was shown dead the next moment. Hamas claimed that she had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. On Sunday, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari revealed that forensic analysis of Marciano’s body showed that she had minor injuries on October 7

The once prestigious Lancet medical journal has made the astounding claim the year 2023 saw “the highest global temperatures in over 100,000 years,” even though temperature data collection only began in the 19th century. According to NASA, three of the world’s most complete temperature tracking records, maintained by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center, and the U.K. Meteorological Office’s Hadley Centre, began in 1880. Although sporadic attempts to measure temperature were made, “there are too few data before 1880 for scientists to estimate average temperatures for the entire planet,” NASA notes.

President Joe Biden’s border chief is now ordering border guards not to presume the correct sex and corresponding pronouns for illegal migrants. “We just obtained [Customs and Border Patrol agency] documents directing personnel to only use woke language when encountering individuals invading the United States,” a tweet from the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation reads. The order from border chief Alejandro Mayorkas directs border guards to ignore the biological distinction between the two complementary sexes. Instead, officers must submit to the political claim that each person’s “gender” is more important than their biological sex and so must allow people to sneak across the male/female border under the disguise of “transgender” pronouns.

In October, attorneys representing Chauvin appealed to the Supreme Court to review his case. This appeal was based on the refusal of a Minnesota trial court to change the venue of the trial and sequester the jury.

The assessment, which was written by the New York State Intelligence Center, was first reported by CBS News. The report found that due to the increased violence in Israel with the bombardment of Gaza, there has been a rise in 'chatter' about possible terrorism targets in the Big Apple.
