‘discriminatory’ and ‘unnecessary’
Posted By: Imright, 3/4/2024 6:55:34 PM
Attorney General Merrick Garland pledged to challenge what he called voting restrictions implemented by Republican lawmakers that he said were “discriminatory, burdensome, and unnecessary.” Garland spoke alongside Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday in Selma, Alabama, at the city’s 59th anniversary of the 1965 civil rights event dubbed “Bloody Sunday,” the day when Alabama police officers beat up voting rights demonstrators protesting in 1965. There, Garland brought up the history of black voting rights, claiming that the “right to vote is still under attack.”

Olena Zelenska, Ukraine's first lady, turned down an invitation from the White House to attend Thursday's State of the Union address, dashing President Joe Biden's dreams of seating her next to Alexi Navalvny's widow in a show of force against Russia.
The White House intended to place Zelenska and Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of murdered Russian opposition leader, in Jill Biden's box on the night of the president's prime time address.

Trump, 77, and McConnell, 82, have had a contentious relationship going back to 2020 when the senator refused to say the election was stolen. Trump for years has lobbed vicious attacks at McConnell,
From the moment Joe Biden illegitimately took office, whispers about whether he would run again in 2024 began. Biden himself even said the quiet part out loud by saying California governor Gavin Newsom could soon “have the job I’m looking for.” Most Democrat party elites have remained steadfast in their support for Biden verbally despite his infamous gaffes becoming even more common than they were when he first took office.
Recently however, something changed.
Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents was damning, even for those previously aware of Biden’s cognitive deficiencies. It claimed that Biden’s memory is “significantly limited,”

On NewsNation’s Super Tuesday, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) responded to a question on whether President Joe Biden needs to take executive action on the border to reclaim the issue by stating that 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump tanking the Senate border bill is “all you need to say.”
Co-host Leland Vittert asked, “I know you are going to tell me that President Biden can blame Republicans for not passing the Senate bill, on and on and on. Does Joe Biden need to announce on Thursday some executive orders on immigration to try and reclaim this issue?”
President Joe Biden sparked more concerns about his health with a long thousand-yard stare after joking he would 'get in trouble' if he took any questions from media members.
The president was wrapping up the launch of a task force to lower the cost of living when he refused to answer any questions from the White House press corps.
'I have a lot of questions. I better not start the questions. I'll get in trouble,' Biden, 81, said, only picking up the microphone halfway through.
Donald Trump has been decisively declared the winner of the California GOP Presidential primary race and the 169 delegates.
President Trump was declared the winner in a twelfth-state moments after the polls closed in California at 11 pm ET.

Former President Barack Obama has said he’s “all in” for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort. But a question nagging at many Democrats is what role his popular spouse might play.
Democrats nervously looking ahead to November say they want to see Michelle Obama playing a bigger role in the campaign. Some even whisper about the possibility that she might replace a politically hobbled incumbent on the 2024 ticket this summer — making her a fantasy candidate for members of both parties, albeit for different reasons.

“You know who embraced more than anybody else? The Black population,” Trump said. “It’s incredible. You see Black people walking around with my mugshot – you know they do shirts.”
Trump’s comments set off the TNT broadcaster and former NBA star.
“First of all, I’m just gonna say this,” he threatened.

Heilemann said, “Doing the first three early state primaries which I love, historically love, have done them all, love doing that, love. love. It was so depressing doing these and for a million reasons not just because Trump was going to win and what it said about the Republican Party or that it was a foregone conclusion, but just the lack of energy out in the world. The kind of flaccid acquiescence of everybody out there. You hear about it on the Democratic side.
President Joe Biden on Tuesday will launch a new task force to take on "unfair and illegal" corporate pricing, which Biden sees as a major reason why consumers are not yet feeling the impact of cooling inflation rates and a strong economy.
The task force will be jointly led by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice, two agencies at the forefront of the Biden administration's aggressive regulatory agenda over the past three years.

But, as of now, neither President Joe Biden nor former President Donald Trump has an obvious edge in the popular vote as we enter the final eight months of the 2024 election season, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
Despite being widely criticized for his lackluster campaign and showing continuing signs of age-related mental impairment, Biden holds a slender 43% to 42% lead over Trump. The online national poll of 1,246 registered voters was taken
The Supreme Court didn’t dig into the weeds of the entire insurrection debate, but one obvious issue with the various efforts to remove Trump from the ballot in various states was that insurrection had been left entirely to Democrat state officials to define. That kind of nonsense however won’t fly in an actual legislative process.
Now that the Supreme Court blocked state officials from announcing that Trump can’t be on the ballot because he’s an “insurrectionist”, House members are now trying to play the same game.
