California Lieutenant Governor Calls for
Trump to Be Removed from State Ballot
Posted By: Dreadnought, 12/20/2023 4:54:13 PM
A California official is now calling for former president Donald Trump to be removed from California’s 2024 presidential-election ballot following the Colorado supreme court’s ruling that removed Trump from its state’s ballot. In a letter dated Wednesday, California lieutenant governor Eleni Kounalakis (D.) urged California secretary of state Shirley Weber (D.) to “explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California’s 2024 presidential primary ballot,” given the Colorado supreme court’s decision. On Tuesday, the court voted 4–3 to disqualify Trump from appearing on the Centennial State’s ballot because he allegedly incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021.

Heartbroken Prague Mayor Speaks Pragmatic Truth 2 replies
This afternoon a university in beautiful, magical Prague descended into unfathomable hell on earth. A deranged lunatic – a domestic terrorist by any measure – murdered his father, brought the rifle to the university he attended – Charles University – and laid siege to fellow students and people on the streets. Terrified students cowered on ledges behind balcony parapets… …or leapt from them to the balconies below. Others barricaded themselves in classrooms, hoping to survive the gunman’s assault, and then waited for an evacuation by police or an “all clear.” When he was finally “eliminated,” as Czech police phrased it, 14 precious lives had been snuffed out,
More flustered than Elmer Fudd in the closing seconds of a Looney Tunes episode, President Joe Biden summoned his inner circle late last month to explain why his poll numbers were so dismal — and to ask them what they were doing to boost them. The scene, captured by the Washington Post’s Tyler Pager and printed as the lead story in the paper’s Monday edition (“Biden Upset By His Low Polling,” Dec. 18), has Biden bellyaching that his economic successes have failed to move the dial, and notes that the president has been complaining about this for some time.
The great ignominy of Biden’s sagging popularity, writes Pager, is that

A fiery explosion rocked Gaza City on Thursday as the Israel Defense Forces destroyed a massive network of Hamas tunnels built to link the homes of some of the terror group's senior leaders.
"After Hamas's 'Senior Quarter' was revealed last night in Gaza City, a complex that includes a network of branched tunnels connecting hiding apartments, bureaus, offices and living apartments of senior members of the military and political wing of Hamas, the route of the tunnels was destroyed today," the IDF wrote Thursday.
Video credited to the IDF and shared on X — formerly Twitter — by Israeli outlet N12 shows a massive line of flames snaking along several city blocks
Rudy Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's onetime legal strategist who led efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has filed for bankruptcy.
The news comes less than a week after the former New York City mayor was ordered to pay $148 million to two Georgia election workers he defamed by falsely claiming they colluded to steal the election. Giuliani filed for Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York, listing estimated assets of between $1 million and $10 million and estimated liabilities of $100 million to $500 million.
Capitol Hill isn't the only place panic is setting in about Joe Biden's 2024 prospects. The consternation is spreading broadly throughout the party, and according to a new report, it's completely warranted. According to far-left outlet Slate, which is loath to ever criticize a Democrat, Biden is facing the worst environment for an incumbent president since the Great Depression. Poll after poll shows the president's numbers plummeting to record lows.
As President Joe Biden grows increasingly mystified by his unpopularity, he is also experiencing the worst polling of his presidency. This plummet was punctuated by last Thursday’s release of several Bloomberg/Morning Consult surveys showing him getting swept in a series
President Joe Biden’s open-borders policy is pulling more foreigners into the United States while pushing more Latino citizens into the GOP, according to a Politico report from El Paso, the far-western tip of Texas.
“I want Trump back,” one woman told Politico, adding:
“It’s getting really bad with a lot of the people coming in,” said [Daniela] Simental, who was born in the Mexican state of Chihuahua and immigrated with her family when she was 12. She didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, she said. But lately, she’s thinking differently about it.

Well, that’s that. Under pressure from the US and other allies as well as the families of the remaining hostages, Israel offered a one-week operational pause to exchange more Palestinian prisoners to free the remaining Israelis. That offered a longer pause than the first deal, and a potential framework for other discussions.
Instead, Hamas insisted on a formal cease-fire, release of all imprisoned Palestinians, and increased aid just to open negotiations:
The hostage negotiations were set to include, for the first time, representatives of Hamas ally Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has also said that Israel must implement a cease-fire before negotiations could start. Islamic Jihad also demands that Israel free
President Joe Biden continues to lose ground to Donald Trump and is now trailing the former president 45-43 in a head-to-head matchup going into the final year of his first term in the White House.
Biden’s favorability has dropped precipitously since the early summer, with nearly 60 percent of respondents now disapproving of his performance, according to a new poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted by WPA Intelligence and obtained by National Review. While Biden led Trump by 15 points in terms of favorability in May, today, the two candidates have nearly identical ratings. Republicans trailed Democrats by 2 points on a generic ballot in May but
Things have not calmed down on the campus of Harvard. Quite the opposite — behind the ivy-choked masonry in Boston, the atmosphere is roiling.

Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said Wednesday that the House Education Committee will expand its investigation into Harvard President Claudine Gay to include allegations that she committed plagiarism in academic work.
The Education Committee previously held a hearing on campus antisemitism featuring Gay and the leaders of the University of Pennsylvania and MIT. At that hearing, the group controversially said that it would depend on context if calls for the genocide of Jewish people to be considered harassment. In a letter Wednesday acquired by Bloomberg, Foxx said the committee will expand its look into Gay, focusing on whether Harvard holds its faculty to the same academic standards as students.

Harvard President Claudine Gay will request three corrections to her 1997 Ph.D. dissertation in the latest series of updates Gay has submitted amid mounting allegations of plagiarism.
The new corrections were announced Wednesday evening in a summary of a review undertaken by the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — into Gay’s academic work after they became aware of the plagiarism allegations.
The additional corrections come less than one week after the University announced that Gay submitted four corrections across two articles that were the subjects of the Corporation’s initial review.
The review — by both an independent panel of three experts and a subcommittee

President Biden has been warned by top aides and his wife Jill to rest more and be more mindful of his health going into 2024 — while he claims he “feels so much younger” than his 81 years, according to a new report.
The age dynamic has caused tension inside the White House, according to Axios, which reported that aides have been known to roll their eyes at Biden’s insistence that he feels spry.
“He is his own worst enemy when it comes to his schedule,” one ex-Biden adviser told the outlet, which reported in April that aides have trouble booking presidential events at certain times of the day —
In a poll taken just after the dramatic Colorado Supreme Court ruling barring Donald Trump from the ballot in the state, over half of Americans approve of the disqualifying the former president.
The ruling, released Monday, was made under the 14th Amendment's clause against people who have committed 'insurrection,' with the Colorado justices determined to punish Trump for January 6.
A total of 54 percent of American adults approve of the ruling, according to the YouGov survey that questioned nearly 3,500 citizens. About 38 percent said they strongly approved of the decision.
Only 35 percent of adults said they disapprove of the ruling, though 28 percent clarified they 'strongly disapprove.'
Harvard president Claudine Gay has been hit with 40 fresh allegations of plagiarism, with claims that she lifted 'entire paragraphs' in her academic writing.
The new allegations were first published in a shocking report from the Washington Free Beacon and span seven publications authored by Gay, ranging from missing quotation marks around a few phrases or sentences to entire paragraphs lifted verbatim.
It comes as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced that it's widening the scope of it' probe into Gay, according to a letter written by Rep. Virginia Foxx. The committee had already opened a probe into antisemitism at the Harvard campus following Gay's testimony
Jim Hoft earlier this week dropped a bombshell that 177 of Jeffrey Epstein’s high profile associates are in for a New Year’s surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be released in the first days of 2024.
A few of the individuals were apparently identified by the Daily Mail, including housekeepers. The only high profile person identified was Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz.
The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts (now Giuffre) in New York against Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre released a statement yesterday on X taunting those about to be exposed on the “naughty list.”
Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that the Colorado Supreme Court decision disqualifying former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot would be overturned by the Supreme Court.
Barr said, “As you know, I strongly oppose Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. I think this case is legally wrong and untenable. I think this kind of action of stretching the law and taking hyper-aggressive missions to knock Trump out of the race they are counterproductive. They backfire, as you know. He feeds on grievance just like a fire feeds on oxygen. This will end up as a grievance that helps him.”

New York Mayor Eric Adams blasted city council’s “far-left agenda” after it approved two controversial bills on Wednesday banning solitary confinement for inmates in jails and forcing police officers to report every street encounter, no matter how small.
The embattled mayor, a former NYPD captain, was staunchly opposed to both bills, whose passage he blamed on a “numerical minority” that is “controlling the narrative.”
“This assault on public safety is just wrong,” Adams told WABC radio host John Catsimatidis on his “Cats & Cosby Show” Wednesday night.

Shelitha Robertson, an attorney and former Atlanta police officer who once ran for office as a Democrat to become a superior court judge, was found guilty by a federal jury in Georgia on Tuesday of fraudulently obtaining over $7 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans.
According to prosecutors, Robertson used the money to buy a Rolls-Royce, a motorcycle, and even a $148,000 10-carat diamond ring, among other things. Robertson received PPP loans for her multiple companies even though only one was operational at the time, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Some top Democrats are worried that a dip in Black voter turnout, along with other challenges, could doom President Joe Biden and his party in 2024.
A group of Democrats is offering a new analysis of the most recent campaigns in Georgia and Michigan, pitching those battlegrounds as models for drawing in more Black voters next year and beyond. They argue that Democratic power players need to think — and spend money — in new ways, going beyond efforts that can be last-minute or superficial as they try to reassemble Biden’s 2020 coalition.

President Joe Biden last week welcomed Mariah Carey and her 12-year-old twins to the White House, and giving the president a break from the headache of the migrant crisis.
The 54-year-old singer posted the photos on her Instagram page on Wednesday - as it emerged she has split with her boyfriend of seven years Bryan Tanaka.
'Last week I had the pleasure of meeting President Biden & Vice President Harris at the White House to ring in the holiday season!' she wrote, sharing photos of her and the twins taking in the decorations.
