Carnage in Colorado over Trump's disqualification:
Supreme Court justices who opposed decision
say it will cause 'chaos' and Republicans
threaten to CANCEL state's primary and
switch to caucuses

The Colorado Republican Party has threatened to nix the state's planned primary election if Donald Trump's name isn't allowed on the ballot, replacing it with a caucus instead after a bombshell state supreme court ruling. The state GOP issued the threat on X after Trump competitor Vivek Ramaswamy threatened to try to take his own name off the ballot in protest. The threat came during the continuing fallout of the dramatic Colorado Supreme Court ruling barring Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment's clause on people who have committed 'insurrection' against the U.S.

War So Leaders Like Trump Could Be Banned
from Ballot 7 replies
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Weissmann said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Americans died in the Civil War, so leaders “who engaged in insurrection” like the Colorado Supreme Court found former President Donald Trump did, can not run for office.
Weissmann said, “This is not new. It is true that this provision of the Constitution is new to lots of people because we’ve never been in a situation where you would have somebody running for office who engaged in insurrection or a rebellion. What’s remarkable to me is that the story isn’t really, the unanimous finding in the Colorado case because you had no one dissenting on the issue
As Gateway Pundit readers know, President Trump was disqualified from the ballot in Colorado in 2024 thanks to their far-left Supreme Court. The Court dubiously cited Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.
The state’s high court left room for an appeal. The ruling will go into effect on January 4, 2024.
But one would be mistaken to believe this is the end of Trump’s ballot challenges, and you can partially thank a “Republican” Presidential candidate for this.
President Joe Biden pressured Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 to prosecute former President Donald Trump, a resurfaced New York Times report says.
The report, which reemerged Thursday on X, appears to be attracting attention because of the recent legal attacks against Trump:
Colorado – Prohibiting Trump from Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot
New York – “Stormy Daniels” (state)
Miami – “Documents” (federal)
Washington, D.C. – “January 6” (federal)
Fulton County, Georgia (state)
Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland
As immigration talks stall in Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson sent a letter to President Biden urging him to take use the power of the executive to stem the flow of migrants at the southern border.
The speaker directed the president to end 'catch-and-release,' turning away any migrants encountered between ports of entry and use parole only on a 'case-by-case basis.'
He also called on the president to reinstated Trump-era policies like building the wall, reinstating the Remain in Mexico program and expanding expedited removal for those who cannot demonstrate asylum eligibility.
KYIV, Ukraine– Ukraine´s parliament voted Tuesday to legalize medical marijuana, after the war with Russia left thousands of people with post-traumatic stress disorder that many believe could be eased by the drug.

Honda is recalling more than 2.5 million cars sold between 2017 and 2020 due to a faulty fuel pump - that can cause vehicles to stall while driving.
The issue means the cars engine may not start - but if it happens while driving it can cause 'crash and injury risks', according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
It is the second big car recall of the week. On Thursday morning, fellow Japanese automaker Toyota was forced to recall 1.1 million cars in the US over airbag issues.
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.”
Enthusiasm is low for President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign in his hometown of Scranton, Delaware, residents told the far-left Guardian publication on Thursday.
Low enthusiasm for Biden in his hometown depicts a microcosm of a growing problem nationwide. Polling numbers show Biden’s popularity is on a downward trajectory:Fox News: 54 percent of Democrat primary voters prefer an alternative to Biden.
Pew Research: Biden’s approval rating sinks to just 33 percent, the lowest since he took office.
WSJ: Only 23 percent said the same for Biden’s policies.
CNN’s senior legal analyst Elie Honig explained Thursday how special counsel Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 case against former President Donald Trump could be squashed.
Honig made the comment while discussing Smith’s efforts to expedite his case by getting the U.S. Supreme Court to determine whether Trump is entitled to immunity instead of waiting for the D.C. Circuit Court to rule.
“Why would the justices want to look at the immunity issue now or not now?” CNN’s Kate Bolduan asked. “What does it hinge on and what do you think — if they take it up, what they would do?”
Claims that former President Donald Trump and the GOP pose a grave "threat to democracy" have become a key Democrat talking point ahead of the 2024 elections, but several prominent Republicans and experts say it is really President Biden's party that is working overtime to undermine the vote.
To make their case, they point to Democrats' efforts to keep Trump off the ballot, imprison him, stifle free speech on social media, and rewrite election laws while fighting measures designed to protect ballot integrity. Those ongoing efforts, they say, are a much bigger threat to democracy than the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot Biden and Democrats frequently cite.
One of America’s most cherished monuments was forced to temporarily close after pro-Hamas miscreants defaced the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Cleanup crews were on the scene early Wednesday morning for the job of scrubbing off the words “FREE GAZA,” “FREE PALESTINE” and “LAND BACK” that had been written in blood-red paint on the steps leading up to the temple-style memorial built in honor of the nation’s 16th president, the man who ended slavery.

Milei’s executive order targeted nearly every aspect of the Argentine economy – including imports, price controls, health care, sports federations, landlord and tenant policies, and the yerba mate industry – in what he described as an attempt to impose a “shock stabilization plan” to prevent a financial catastrophe. Argentina is facing the worst economic crisis of its history as a result of decades of socialist policies, lavish government spending, and corruption, fueling skyrocketing rates of poverty, joblessness, and inflation.

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 —

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

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.
Things have not calmed down on the campus of Harvard. Quite the opposite — behind the ivy-choked masonry in Boston, the atmosphere is roiling. After the campus president inflamed the country, we now have faculty members stepping up to decry her stature, and businesses are showing signs of backing away from the once austere character of the college’s graduates, as we are seeing evidence of a viral mindset infecting this school. You know things are bad when a story like this not only remains in the news cycle but continues to evolve.

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.
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

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.
