GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and prominent patriot lawyer Rogan O’Handley (popularly known as DC_Draino) found themselves embroiled in a war of words on X/Twitter. The heated exchange was sparked when DC_Draino publicly called out Ramaswamy for his controversial background and his flip-flopping on several critical issues. DC_Draino questioned Ramaswamy’s integrity, shedding light on allegations that Ramaswamy faced earlier in his career. In an X post, DC_Draino posted: “Yeah I mean sure he:

I agree with #1. He does a great job playing a conservative, but .....work for Soros and you are DONE, as far as I am concerned. Working for Soros, or being funded by Soros is like working for the Nazis....because Soros did work for the Nazis. And that is NEVER OK, not even "a long time ago" or "just a little bit" or whatever.

When we watch politicians shoot on the stage out of nowhere, of course, we must be skeptical because we have learned the hard way that men will say anything to attain power or people behind them with an agenda will launch them into politics. Look at Obama’s meteoric rise. Vivek is a good communicator, but bears watching. I am not sure his conservative beliefs run very deep. They certainly have evolved quickly which is possible but also it is possible that he is ambitious and saw an opportunity and took it. Keeping an eye on him. It would be a shame if he wasn’t what he says he is. Time will tell.

Like I've always said, debates are useless propaganda events. Look at what they do, no at what they say. Look at Obama. He said all the right things, got elected and turned out to be a commie and a total fraud. Get it yet.

Vivek is not going to get the nomination, so let's stop trying to tear him down. The truth is, he is a young, vibrant, conservative and not a politician. I'd like to keep in our stable as he will make a strong candidate in the future and has the right mindset to help grow a new generation of conservative leaders.

Let's face facts-- the candidates other than Trump are hoping and praying that the crap charges the demonrat socialist marxists have been making with somehow stick and take President Trump out of the race. If nothing else, those people are likely to be rehearsing for a part as the #2 person on the ticket. At this point, NONE of them are fit to be on the ticket! There is no statesmanship evident among any of them. The pick is very likely someone who is NOT on the debate stage since all they do is try to come up with cute quips or 'sound bits' so the media can trash them all. Ramalamadingdong has created a fortune for himself but he has little or NO track record supporting the bedrock issues of the republican party the BASE holds. Fidelity to that would be very helpful because they are ALL RINOs who try to say the right things by will NEVER fight for the unique and traditional American Way of Life.

It is so comforting for us to be sophisticated racists on this forum. We can nonchalantly call Vivek names (xxxdingalong) and even say that we are against him for being a Hindu; never mind if his values are more aligned with us than a Christian-in-name-only. That’s no matter. It is much more important to be hollow conservatives ( It is one thing to question his motives, policy and associations (some of the allegations have been found to be without basis already), but the racism demonstrated here is astounding. And we wonder why south Asians who are conservative and have strong family values vote D… because us Rs call them dingalong…. Disappointing, shortsighted and “shoot in our foot” Congratulations

Donald Trump Gagged Again in New York
Civil Case

Posted by Imright 11/30/2023 8:39:27 PM Post Reply
A New York appeals court on Thursday reinstated a gag order against former President Donald Trump, preventing him from talking about court staff involved in the State of New York’s civil case alleging business fraud against him and his eldest sons. In an order Thursday, the First Judicial Department of the Appellate Division for the Supreme Court of New York vacated an interim relief that blocked Justice Arthur Engoron’s initial gag on Trump, prohibiting him from making public statements about his law clerk, Allison Greenfield. Four justices issued the order on Thursday, including presiding Justice Sallie Manzanet-Daniels and Associate Justices Ellen Gesmer, Saliann Scarpulla, and Llinét M. Rosado.

New York—The Republican National Committee’s rules for next year’s nominating contest and convention were released this week without addressing a question the GOP could well face next summer: Can the party’s delegates vote for a different candidate if the presumptive nominee is convicted of a felony? Former President Donald Trump is under four criminal indictments that will proceed through the GOP primary season, an overlap of legal and political calendars with no precedent in American politics. Fifteen states and American Samoa hold their GOP primaries on March 5, known as Super Tuesday, which is also the day after his first trial is scheduled to begin in Washington on charges that he

The nation’s foreign-born population has hit an unprecedented 49.5 million, the largest ever recorded in American history, under President Joe Biden. Analysis by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) revealed that in October the foreign-born population reached almost 50 million, increasing by 4.5 million foreign-born residents since Biden took office in January 2021. Put another way, the Biden administration has added more immigrants to the nation’s population than the annual number of U.S. births in fewer than three years.

House Republicans are expected to huddle behind closed doors Friday morning to discuss holding a vote formalizing an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, Fox News Digital has learned. Three sources familiar with discussions said GOP leaders are strongly considering a House-wide vote to approve an investigation into Biden. The Friday morning meeting is expected to see chairmen of the three committees probing Biden and his family — Oversight Chairman James Comer, R-Ky.; Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; and Ways & Means Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo. — to make their case to the House GOP Conference.

A 21-year-old Israeli woman who was snatched from the Nova music festival and then paraded in a chilling Hamas hostage video has today been released by the terrorists in front of a baying crowd of Palestinians. Terrifying footage shows Mia Schem surrounded by a screaming mob and guarded by masked Hamas gunmen as she was walked from a car and handed over to Red Cross operatives this afternoon. The French-Israeli hostage had been held captive for 54 days since October 7 when she was dragged away in to Gaza.

The Democratic Party does not have a “plan B” if President Joe Biden does not run for reelection “for any reason,” establishment media outlets reported on Thursday. The lack of a “plan B” suggests Biden is putting the Democrat Party in a bind. Many Democrats say Biden is not the best candidate to mount a strong campaign against likely GOP candidate former President Donald Trump. According to a recent survey exclusively reported by Breitbart News, the top three descriptions of Biden by likely registered voters depicted the 81-year-old as low energy. The top three options (out of ten possibilities) respondents chose to describe Biden are:

President Joe Biden confusing Taylor Swift and Britney Spears may have been funny, but a continued inability to connect with young people, especially young Democrats, will not be a laughing matter for his reelection campaign next year. With hypothetical head-to-head polling indicating a close race between Biden and likely 2024 Republican nominee former President Donald Trump, every vote will count in 12 months. Biden's support of Israel amid its war against Hamas has strained the president's relationship with young people, including Democrats, who are more open to criticizing Israel than their older counterparts

As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack. This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting coincidence that The Drill Down’s hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers can’t ignore: Abigail’s great aunt is Elizabeth (Liz) Naftali, a wealthy real estate investor in Los Angeles’s fashion district and a large contributor to the Democratic Party and to the Biden family.

Social media has a way of resurrecting woke think pieces if they slide under the radar at the time of publication or people forget about them.

That is, if Blinken actually told the Israelis that they don’t have enough “credit” to fight Hamas to the finish.

Perhaps, but it’s not the only eyebrow-raising part of the exchange, either. It begins with Blinken

It comes after Walmart, IBM, Accenture, Bank of America and Google announced similar plans. The survey found that the same employers that have already eliminated Bachelor's degree requirements were far more likely to continue doing so.
