Democrats want to subvert the Supreme
Court in their war against Donald Trump

Original Article

Posted By: Mercedes44, 1/24/2024 12:52:26 AM

The biggest threat to the Constitution in 2024 is the “lawfare” being waged against Donald Trump — and the Supreme Court is as much its target as Trump is. Consider attempts in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere to ban Trump from the ballot. The architects of these efforts are counting on most Americans not knowing how presidential primaries and general elections actually work. What happens if a blue-state supreme court or Democratic secretary of state rules that Trump isn’t eligible to be president? If the question stayed at the state level, very little would change. This is because voters don’t directly pick either a party’s nominee or a president.

Leftists are a law unto themselves; like a bunch of city girls, they do what they want. The veggie administration is still paying off student loans even though they were "forbidden" by the SC. Who can stop them? Governor Abbott has 25 states supporting him in the fight against a rogue (in so many ways) federal government. Our country has basically been taken over by internal hostile forces. And, it seems to me that there's something more to Secretary Lloyd Austin's illness. It's all very strange. Imagine, a DS working from home--holding virtual meetings. One that we know of. He drags himself out of his sick bed to talk about Ukraine. What the heck?

Everybody considering entering politics: The higher you go, the more likely you will be bribed or threatened, or members of your family. At the federal level, when the FBI does a background check it is not to see if you are compromised. It's to see if you can be compromised. And if you can't, they'll find a family member or friend you're attached to, to threaten or harm. They are not above violent crimes in their pursuit of your influence. They consider their REAL bosses are those who control the Swamp - Government Establishment, rich donors, foreign nationals. Prepare for a battle for your life.

Supreme Courts are quickly becoming a joke, even the big Penguin tank in Washington. Just like academic circles in large universities, these people do not live in the real world and can not make decisions based on reality. The recent declaration that the Border Patrol can cut elements of the border defenses is mind blowing and un-American.

What happens if Donald Trump is jailed by the Democrats and their crooked Judges? The man that most of this country want for their President.? I know what should happen, but will it? Will there be a real insurrection? Not the fake one that pelosi engineered? But a real one? I don't know, but it would certainly bring us closer to a new civil war.

A Republican National Committee member has withdrawn a draft resolution that would have declared former President Donald Trump the presumptive nominee in 2024 on Thursday following backlash and Trump’s own opposition. Maryland RNC Committeeman Dave Bossie withdrew his resolution to declare Trump presumptive nominee after his wins in Iowa and New Hampshire and dominance over former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley in polls of the remaining states, a source familiar confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

Amazon was slapped with a $35 million fine Tuesday after regulators in France determined that the e-commerce giant has an “excessively intrusive system” for keeping tabs on its warehouse workers. The French Data Protection Authority, or CNIL, called out the company’s branch in the country, Amazon France Logistique, for requiring employees to use a barcode scanner to track their progress on tasks – such as storing items on shelves or packing them up for shipment.

Chuck Schumer’s push to more strongly regulate Zyn nicotine pouches he says are being pushed to teens has lit a smokeless fire among some conservative lawmakers. “I'm delivering a warning to parents, because these nicotine pouches seem to lock their sights on young kids, teenagers and even lower. And then use the social media to hook them,” the Senate majority leader said at a press conference this week urging the FDA and FTC to probe the product. Conservatives seized on his comments. “It’ll make a lot of people mad. He wants to do that and cut out menthol cigarettes. I don't think we need to do that," said Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.),

Long before Donald Trump announced his campaign to retake the White House, he launched a quieter campaign to rack up Republican endorsements. In early 2021, after Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden and inspired a mob of supporters to attack the Capitol trying to overturn the 2020 election, the defeated president started laying the groundwork for the support in Congress he would need for a return.

NATO General Secretary Goes Rogue - Says

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg always reminds me of former ODNI James Clapper. Both men, a little ordinary, had a tendency to say the obvious non-political ordinary thing accidentally, and that would seemingly frustrate the political narrative engineers. Stoltenberg did it again recently when he was questioned about the horrific and horrible likelihood that terrible Russia would expand their military conflict beyond Ukraine. Surely, given the intensity of the common western narrative, this Russian expansion was only a matter of timing. Nope….

Could be Mrs. O in the Oval? Obama’s wife is scratching to maybe be our next president. Her husband’s helping. Pay attention. In this sicko political environment, semi-VIPs itch to get you to write what they want. Then, for their own political purpose, tell you they “doubt” what you wrote. These professional doubters have their political motives. However, some info now comes from — I’m told — “credible sources few have access to and usually not meant for the noses of the media.” Whatever that means, what’s told is: Hillary and husband? Toxic.

Firing back at Hunter Biden’s BS games

Hunter Biden and his lawyers are still playing games about whether he will deign to comply with a congressional subpoena. You would wish that Republicans were as ruthless about enforcing the rules as Democrats, but when faced with a 53-year-old man as entitled and spoiled as the president’s son, they are in new territory. The contrast with the Trump family could not be more stark. Unlike Hunter, who defied a House Oversight Committee subpoena to stage a press conference on Capitol Hill and later gate-crash a hearing, Don Trump Jr. testified five times for more than 40 hours to Democrat-led congressional committees without pulling any stupid stunts.

Conservative Supreme Court justices on Wednesday voiced support for weakening the power of federal regulators, but it was not clear whether a majority would overturn a precedent that has guided American law for four decades over everything from the safety of food and drugs to environmental protection. Billions of dollars are potentially at stake in front of a court that, like the rest of the federal judiciary, was remade during Donald Trump’s presidency by conservative interests that were motivated as much by weakening the regulatory state as social issues including abortion.

During a candlelit dinner with Mar-a-Lago members in late December, former President Donald Trump walked around the table as the conversation turned to one of the biggest decisions he’d have to make should he become the Republican nominee: Whom should he pick to be his running mate? That’s when Rep. Elise Stefanik, the hard-charging upstate New York Republican, came up, according to a person at the dinner table. Attendees around Trump raved about her viral moment just weeks before, when she grilled three university presidents at a congressional hearing about antisemitism on campus.

One hundred days ago, the previously unthinkable happened in Israel. A state, born out of adversity and war only 75 years ago, woke up to what some have since described as a threat to its very existence. On Saturday night, in Tel Aviv, the events of 7 October were commemorated by thousands of people. Uppermost on the minds of everyone were the around 130 hostages abducted by Hamas and still being held in Gaza, although some of them may not still be alive.

With Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the New Hampshire Republican primary, the possibility of anyone else securing the party’s presidential nomination is vanishingly small. That depressing reality doesn’t mean that former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley should abandon her campaign to overtake Trump, which she vowed to continue. “New Hampshire is first in the nation — it is not the last in the nation,” Haley said, promising to carry her campaign to her home state’s GOP primary on Feb. 24.

On Wednesday, Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration on closing the border. A Texas congressman has urged President Biden to take the state's National Guard under federal control if Republican Governor Greg Abbott defies a Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire from a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.

Sharpton said, “Obviously Trump winning by double digits was not unexpected. I think Haley did a little better than some of the polls had, but she didn’t make it. I think that the fact that she pledged to keep running is in many ways the ultimate insult to Donald Trump because he wants everyone to just prostrate and bow to him and say now it’s over. What he’s really concerned about is his four cases.
