Former Vice President Mike Pence was polling ahead of four Republican presidential candidates when he dropped out. Pence, who suspended his campaign on Saturday, will have his place in the history books thanks to his service as vice president and his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But his early exit raises questions for the other GOP campaigns. (Snip) "It’s become clear to me," he added. "This is not my time." "It’s become clear to me," he added. "This is not my time." Yet at the time he made those remarks, Pence was polling at 3.5%, per the RealClearPolitics polling average. That put him ahead of former New Jersey

FTA: “ He may be most famous for defying Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election, a fact that did not translate to success on the campaign trail.” I think what he actually did was deny Trump’s demand for a review of the voting in certain states before the congress certified the electoral college vote. Fraud always and everywhere nullifies any transaction where the fraud drives the outcome. No vote materially affected by fraud should be certified.

He had the legal ability to deny the electoral votes of two of the voters in Georgia. They were appointed after the deadline for doing so. The Vice President had the power to deny their votes. That's all Trump asked him to do. He refused. His political career is over.

this foolishness in the Republican Party with their "debates", etc is beyond idiotic and the impulse at the very beginning should have been for everyone involved to take a stand and put all their efforts into making sure our President has the greatest show of support this party of clowns could muster up but I have a feeling there is a defiant attitude growing among the repubs and the America First Coalition is the republican party of "the people" and will supplant and support the non-Republican nominees

Poor Pence, too dumb to make money grifting. It was never his time; nobody wanted him to run. He has the nerve to suspend rather than truly end his campaign and go home. As if. . . Too dumb to rest on what PDT gave him by allowing him to be his VP. No, he thought biting the hand that gave him the chance would elevate him So evil of you, traitor Pence. You should go do some soul searching and discover what a creep you are. Pray for God's grace, be restored, and become a truth teller instead of the liar you exposed yourself to be.

I totally agree with all above posts. I can't believe Judas Pence didn't do some polling of CONSERVATIVES before he started out on the presidential journey. They would have saved him some time and OPM (other people's money). I'm sick of seeing that ugly face with the grin that reminds me of somemone who got by with something. He didn't.

President Joe Biden is trying to pick a successor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to a new report citing White House sources — and he is doing so despite the fact that Israel is at war against the Hamas terrorist organization. As Breitbart News reported earlier this year, Biden tried to isolate Netanyahu, refusing to meet with him until September, when the White House, seeking a foreign policy win, tried to help Israel and Saudi Arabia negotiate toward peace between the two.Biden has expressed solidarity with Israel in its fight against Hamas, which murdered over 1,400 people in an attack October 7 and wounded more than 5,400

The House voted down a measure seeking to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), dealing a blow to conservative Republicans who sought to punish the Michigan Democrat over accusations of antisemitic behavior related to comments she made about Israel last month. Lawmakers voted 222-186 to table the motion, overcoming the simple majority vote needed to kill the vote on the House floor. The measure failed after 23 Republicans joined all Democrats in tabling the motion, pushing it past the 217-vote threshold. Republicans who voted to table the motion include Reps. Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), Ken Buck (R-CO), John Duarte (D-CA), Chuck Edwards (R-NC), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Glenn Grothman (R-WI), Harriet Hageman (R-WY),

Former congressman Adam Kinzinger has a new book out for Halloween titled Renegade. This implies he’s a daring rebel against Republicans, instead of simply switching parties. In some dictionaries, “renegade” is defined as “a person who abandons a cause or organization, usually without right,” like a “mutineer.” That fits. When asked by liberal interviewers, Kinzinger volunteers he voted for Democrats in the midterms and will vote for Biden and Democrats in 2024. He says it’s a simple decision between democracy (Democrats) or authoritarianism (Republicans). That fits the Democrat narrative perfectly. He'll claim he's still a Republican.

Denver— The effort to ban former President Donald Trump from the ballot under the Constitution’s “insurrection clause” turned to distant history on Wednesday, when a law professor testified about how the post-Civil War provision was indeed intended to apply to presidential candidates. Gerard Magliocca, of Indiana University, said there was scant scholarship on Section Three of the 14th Amendment when he began researching it in late 2020. He testified that he uncovered evidence in 150-year-old court rulings, congressional testimony and presidential executive orders that it applied to presidents and to those who simply encouraged an insurrection rather than physically participated in one.

Donald Trump Jr. joked that he trusts accountants because 'that's why we pay them' and distanced himself from financial statements at the center of the $250million fraud case when he took the stand on Wednesday. The former president's eldest son was grilled about his education, his work at his father's company, and the jailed former CFO Allen Weisselberg during a grilling in the State Supreme Court on Wednesday. When answering multiple questions, the 45-year-old said 'I don't recall' and admitted that he ‘knows nothing’ about general accounting practices.

The White House is dismissing the latest House Oversight Committee report which showed President Joe Biden previously took a $40,000 check from his family members not long after Chinese business associates gave them money. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday that bank records between the Biden family and its Chinese business associates show Biden took $40,000 of Chinese money in Sept. 2017. White House spokesman for oversight and investigations dismissed the report, calling it “desperate” and writing Comer’s claims off as “lies.”

Jerusalem CNN — An Israeli strike on the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza caused many casualties, officials in the enclave said Tuesday. The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Interior in Gaza reported that “20 homes were completely destroyed in the Israeli bombing that targeted a residential neighbourhood in Jabalya.” The director of Gaza’s Indonesian hospital, Dr. Atef al-Kahlout, told CNN that “hundreds” of dead and injured people arrived at the hospital and “many are still under the rubble.” Israel Defense Forces spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht confirmed to CNN that the Israeli military had launched the strike, and said it was targeting a senior commander from the Hamas militant group.

This weekend, hundreds of millions of Americans will dutifully set their clocks back one hour, convincing themselves that they’ve “gained” an hour – despite spending at least part of it resetting all their timepieces. Americans should instead refuse to play along. Few government mandates combine such utter pointlessness and serious public health harms than the twice-a-year switch on and off Daylight Saving Time. It’s time to end the madness. First, despite its label, “Daylight Saving Time” does not save daylight. It doesn’t even save energy.

What dominates the mass media is often fleeting importance for the enduring political landscape. Nevertheless, some events can harbinger momentous changes despite their initial ordinary nature. A particularly telling example was the initial shift of small number of White Southern Democrats into the Republican Party in 1964, a little-noticed event that foretold the shift of nearly all Southern Whites into the GOP. Such shifts are tectonic insofar as they may eventually fundamentally change the political landscape. We may now be experiencing a tectonic shift of major magnitude, namely the exodus of Jews from liberalism.
