Democrats in Pennsylvania — President Biden's birthplace — are flipping to the Republican Party in droves, according to the swing state's recent voter registration data. Pennsylvania holds crucial importance for Biden's reelection bid. He notably hailed Philadelphia campaign donors as the "backbone" of his presidential campaign earlier this year. As of Dec. 18, 35,589 Democrats reregistered as Republicans in the state so far this year; in contrast, 15,622 Republicans switched to the Democratic Party, data from the state department shows. The state trend was first reported Tuesday by Newsweek.

Can't dems just put all the people inside "15-minute cities," and prevent them from ever leaving? Isn't that the plan?

Given that some elections have been decided by a handful of votes, this is a good thing. Especially in Biden's home state.

Seems likely to me that most of those who switched wanted to vote in the Republican primary, not to vote R for the election. Try to get Trump off the ballot any way they can -- either by judicial fiat, or by swamping the primary with votes against Trump. They aren't concerned with which Democrap gets nominated, as long as they prevent a Trump victory.

How do PA primaries work? If you must vote your registered party in the primary then this might be a very BAD thing as Democrats would be doing this to choose who they want to run against. They would realize that there is no election needed for the democrat nomination. That will be decided in a dark room with a Ouija board illuminated by candles that look like goat heads and with the odor of chicken entrails permeating the room..

Yes. They are following the game plan of Rush Limbaugh. Switch parties in order to vote in a closed Republican primary to choose whom THEY want as the candidate. No need to switch parties to vote in the general election

From a PA government website: Voters also vote for their party’s officers during a primary election. · In Pennsylvania, you can only vote for the candidates in the same political party you have named in your voter registration.

Ignore the ob-Fox-ation: It makes no difference where Biden was born. He has been a citizen of (and elected U.S. Senator of) Delaware for decades. Pennsylvania may be of interest for many reasons; but Delaware is FJB's home state. And maybe it will be relevant enough some day to have its own sports team...

From one end of Delaware to the other, the amount of federal money sent to and spent in Delaware since Biteme became VP is obvious. The building and improvement boom is everywhere no matter where one goes in the state. However, perhaps the number of people moving out of other states and moving to Delaware is the reason for the change in viewpoint.

Transgender actress Tommy Dorfman claimed that workers for Delta Air Lines intentionally misgendered her and committed a "human rights violation" following a viral video of the alleged incident. In a short clip posted to TikTok on Christmas Eve, 31-year-old Dorfman says, "And what about when a Delta employee misgenders you intentionally?" while standing by the departure gate. Referring to Dorfman, the worker can be heard saying, "While she's talking—while he's talking" before being cut off. "You just misgendered me again," Dorfman replies.

“You had me at hello.” That line from the movie “Jerry Maguire” came to mind this week after yet another Democratic secretary of state moved to prevent citizens from voting for former president Donald Trump. Maine’s Shenna Bellows issued a “decision” that declared Trump an “insurrectionist” and ineligible to be president. She joined an ignoble list of Democratic officials in states such as Colorado who claim to safeguard democracy by denying its exercise to millions of Americans. Yet the most striking aspect of this poorly crafted decision was not its litany of conclusory findings, but rather Bellow’s implausible suggestion that she struggled over the decision.

For Republicans, it could be a very happy new year indeed. The 2024 elections hold the potential for a trifecta: winning unified control of the federal government, including all its elected branches, for the first time in eight years. “Could” is the operative word, however. Republicans have an opportunity, but they must capitalize on it to bring their electoral dreams to fruition. The fact that it takes more than good poll numbers and flawed opponents to win in a polarized political climate can itself be summed up in one of the most futile phrases of the past few years: the “red wave.” Just two years ago, Republicans looked to have a chance

A never-ending massacre of Christians being "killed for sport" is reportedly happening in Nigeria, yet the world appears to be largely deaf to the matter. While much of the world this week has been celebrating a beginning – Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ – in Nigeria they are mourning the end of life – the deaths of more than 100 Christians – as the world remains virtually silent. Armed bandits ran amok, according to Amnesty International, in some 20 communities across central Nigeria, killing more than 140. In a country where accurate statistics are traditionally hard to come by, some sources have put the death toll closer to 200.

At the end of the year, we are on the razor's edge of many things that soon may blow up. Americans are far beyond President Joe Biden's serial untruths of some eight years that he never discussed Hunter Biden's various get-rich-quick schemes. All were predicated on the perception of foreign interests purchasing from the Biden family the influence of then-senator, vice president, and possibly soon-to-be President Joe Biden. The Bidens now risk exposure to criminal charges of multimillion-dollar tax fraud, perjury, influence selling, and bribery as congressional committees and a special prosecutor unravel years of tangled-up quid pro quos.

A Maine Republican state lawmaker wants to impeach the Maine secretary of state who removed former President Donald Trump from the primary ballot. GOP state Rep. John Andrews said he wants to pursue impeachment against Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows after she disqualified Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot on Thursday. In her ruling, Bellows cited Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bans from office those who "engaged in insurrection." Andrews said in a statement that he filed a request with the Maine Revisor's Office saying he wanted "to file a Joint Order, or whichever is the proper parliamentary mechanism under Mason's Rules

In 1898, the United States government acquired Puerto Rico through the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Spanish-American War. This was only one year after Spain had granted the island the power to self-govern. But after Spain lost the war, they ceded control of Puerto Rico. At the time, Puerto Rico's population was just under 1 million. Most were living in poverty. It wasn't uncommon for families to spend the majority of their income on food. Many people worked for only cents per day harvesting sugarcane. Others owned farms or worked inland on coffee and tobacco fields. "Imagine that about 90% of your income is spent on food, and you're still malnourished.

President Biden needs a big boost to win in 2024; the economy won’t be it. Despite the stock market’s recent euphoria over coming Federal Reserve rate cuts, this will not have the political impact many may imagine. Even if these cuts come, there simply will not be time to undo the damage that Biden has already incurred with America’s economy. Biden is in deep political trouble. He is in trouble generally, as the Real Clear Politics national polling averages show. His job approval is just 40.5 percent (versus 55.9 percent disapproval), he trails Trump 44.5 percent to 46.8 percent in head-to-head polls and his favorability is lowest of all

We should remember the now modern proverb of Nixon-era economic advisor Herb Stein to the effect that what cannot go on (without destroying the nation), simply will not go on. In some sense, the country for recent years has been cruising on the fumes from prior and likely better wiser generations and institutions. In 2024, the tab for our current apathy, toxic politics, and incompetence will come due. So next year we will likely see the climax to a number of current dangerous ideas, events, and forces, which finally will either overwhelm us or be addressed and remedied.

Successful public health campaigns and medical advances have enabled the United States to conquer a range of disfiguring and damaging diseases. Polio, which paralyzed thousands of Americans annually, was wiped out by widespread vaccinations. In 1999 the nation’s last hospital for lepers closed its doors in Louisiana. A global campaign eradicated smallpox, while lethal tuberculosis, the “consumption” that stalked characters in decades of literature, seemed beaten by antibiotics. Measles outbreaks still occur from time to time, but they are small, local, and easily contained. Recently, however, some of these forgotten but still formidable infectious diseases have begun to reappear in the U.S.

Christianity Today was once committed to exploring issues that were or should have been of interest to Christians who held to biblical orthodoxy, but now it traffics in theological and political liberalism more and more. Christianity Today is guilty of what John Cooper of the band Skillet calls “leaning left and punching right,” taking stances that fit in with the political left so that no one would ever accuse it of being
