Governor Eleni Kounalakis’ request to California’s secretary of state to follow Colorado and move to kick Trump off the ballot.

An Ex-Democrat's Case for Trump
4 replies
“Are you a Trump supporter now?” is the question my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues sometimes ask me. (snip) What the Democrats and Never Trumpers want now is to push Trump and MAGA back into the danger zone. They want more violence. They want riots. They want an uprising that they can then bring in the military, weaponize dissent, speech, and ideology, and have the full backing of the American public. We’re almost there now.
But don’t take the bait, MAGA. You can defeat them by being the calm, reasonable side. Make them the crazy ones.
While most were finishing last-minute Christmas presents for loved ones or making arrangements for Midnight Mass, Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley suggested abortion as a way to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

The outgoing governor of Louisiana has pardoned 56 inmates since October of this year, including dozens of convicted murderers. (snip) "For as long as I can remember, Louisiana reflexively responded to an increase in crime by putting more people in prison and keeping them there longer," Edwards told Louisiana news outlet NOLA.com this week. "We've never been made safer as a result of that," Edwards said. "There is no data to suggest that an increase in crime here was because of the reforms."

Former Vice President Al Gore said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the climate continues to warm, we “would lose our capacity for self-governance.”

What’s the worst-case scenario?” Gore said, “The scientist who has warned us of these mega-storms and the floods and mudslides and droughts and the ice melting and the sea level rising and the storms getting stronger and the tropical diseases and climate and migrants crossing international borders in large numbers.
