    Nikki Haley Surges Ahead In Latest New Hampshire Poll

      Donald Trump should be taking notice…

      Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley is gaining serious momentum with New Hampshire voters.

      According to Sunday’s CBS News/YouGov poll, Haley has emerged as a top alternative to former president Trump, consolidating much of the non-Trump vote. Among likely GOP primary voters, 29 percent say they would vote for the former South Carolina governor, 15 points behind Trump.

      The Hill has more:

      Eleven percent say they would vote for GOP Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and 10 percent say they would vote for former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. No other candidate received more than 10 percent.

      Regarding who can beat President Biden, 51 percent of voters said Trump would “definitely” do so, while 32 percent said the same for Haley — underscoring just how strong of a hold the former president has on Republicans.

      The poll also sought to determine how New Hampshire Republican voters felt toward each candidate.

      Haley is overwhelmingly seen as the most likable, receiving 55 percent of the vote. DeSantis falls in second, holding 37 percent of the vote, while Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy are tied for third, holding 36 percent of the vote.

      A majority of voters also said Haley is the most reasonable of the candidates. Fifty-one percent voted for the former U.N. ambassador, while 37 percent said DeSantis was the most reasonable. Trump falls in third with 36 percent.

      Trump Names Running Mate For 2024

      And officially becomes the nominee…

      J.D. Vance, known for his memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which explores his upbringing in a poor Rust Belt town and his family’s struggles with addiction and poverty, experienced a swift rise in the political arena. His rise saw him win election to the United States Senate in 2022 and now has put him on the cusp of becoming the next vice president of the United States.

      Driven by a compelling personal narrative, strategic alliances and the right political positioning, Vance has won the long-awaited veepstakes, as former President Donald Trump himself announced moments ago. Shortly afterward, it was announced at the Republican National Convention that Donald Trump had received enough votes to officially become the Republican presidential nominee.

      Fittingly, it was the Florida delegation that put him over the top.

      Vance’s story began in Middletown, Ohio, where he was raised in a working-class family. Despite the challenges he faced, he managed to graduate from Ohio State University and later from Yale Law School. His memoir, published in 2016, became a bestseller and brought him national attention, especially as it was seen as offering insights into the lives of many working-class Americans who felt left behind by the political establishment.

      Key Factors in His Political Rise

      1. National Recognition through “Hillbilly Elegy”: Vance’s memoir provided him with a platform to discuss broader socio-economic issues affecting the Rust Belt and working-class communities. His personal success story resonated with many Americans, giving him credibility and a wide audience.
      2. Strategic Political Alliances: Vance capitalized on his newfound fame by forging key alliances within the Republican Party. He aligned himself with prominent figures and organizations that supported his views on economic and social issues. Notably, he gained the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, which significantly bolstered his political profile among the Republican base.
      3. Media Presence and Advocacy: Vance became a regular commentator on political and cultural issues, frequently appearing on news programs and writing op-eds. His articulate defense of conservative values and critique of elite political classes garnered him a loyal following.
      4. Focus on Populist Themes: Emphasizing themes of economic nationalism, skepticism of globalism and advocacy for working-class Americans, Vance tapped into the populist sentiment that had been growing within the Republican Party. His ability to articulate these issues in a relatable manner helped him connect with a broad spectrum of voters.
      5. Support from Influential Donors: Vance received significant financial backing from influential donors and political action committees. This support enabled him to mount a strong campaign for the U.S. Senate, leveraging his network and resources to reach a wider audience.

      Political Campaign and Senate Victory

      In 2022, Vance announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio. His campaign focused on addressing the economic concerns of Ohioans, tackling the opioid crisis and advocating for policies that would benefit the working class. His message resonated with voters, and he successfully secured the Republican nomination and won the general election.

      Trump Calls Out 4 ‘Disloyal’ GOP Senators By Name Over Defiant Tariff Pushback

        Early Wednesday, President Donald Trump unloaded on multiple Republican Senators who are opposing his impending tariffs on Canada.

        Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) introduced a resolution to terminate the emergency declaration, and while the vote is largely symbolic, several Republican defections would carry political weight.

        Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have expressed support for Kaine’s motion, with Collins calling the tariffs a “huge mistake.”

        In a fiery Truth Social post Wednesday, the same day his new tariff regime is set to come into play, the president lashed out at four ranking Republican senators — Mitch McConnell, Paul, Collins, and Lisa Murkowski — for wavering on his plan.

        Trump accused the lawmakers of “playing with the lives of the American people” and aligning with “Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels.”

        Trump didn’t hold back, accusing the dissenting Republicans of exposing “the weakness of certain Republicans” and imploring voters to “contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals.”

        He wrote:

        Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy. They are playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels. The Senate Bill is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it. Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS? Who can want this to happen to our beautiful families, and why? To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals. They have been extremely difficult to deal with and unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

        The tariffs, set to take effect on April 2, which the president has branded “Liberation Day”, are justified by Trump under an emergency order citing fentanyl trafficking across the northern border — despite testimony from his own intelligence chief downplaying Canada’s role in the crisis.

        DeSantis Super PAC Knocks Nikki Haley Over Thinly-Veiled Disney Jab

          A political action committee supporting a potential White House bid by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis targeted presidential candidate Nikki Haley following what appeared to be a veiled jab over his aggressive approach to Disney’s increasingly woke antics in the state.

          In a video posted on social media, Never Back Down responded to Haley’s appearance on Fox News in which she invited Disney to move its operations to South Carolina, the state where she was once governor, from Florida. 

          The video included what it said were clips of Disney “officials” touting the company’s use of “LGBTQIA characters,” a “not at all secret gay agenda” and attempted to tie Haley to that highly scrutinized side of the company with a new nickname, “Mickey Haley.”

          https://twitter.com/NvrBackDown24/status/1651360545088368641

          “I was just, wherever I could, just basically adding queerness,” one individual in the video said, while another appeared to tout giving”information about gender affirmation procedures.”

          Some of the individuals in the video said they were trying to put things they believe into Disney’s shows, as well as target Gen Z and Millennials. It also included a clip of a drag queen discussing Disney-inspired books.

          The video then ended with a clip from Haley’s Fox interview saying she would “welcome” Disney to South Carolina.

          Haley’s comments came on the heel of a lawsuit filed by Disney against DeSantis on Wednesday, claiming “government retaliation.” (RELATED: Disney Sues Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis)

          The lawsuit came about a week after DeSantis said Florida’s Republican legislature would act to stop Disney’s current apparent effort to work around the oversight of its Florida property.

            With less than a month until Election Day, candidates are working to capitalize on the issues important to voters. As Democrats focus on abortion most Republican candidates have focused their campaigns to address issues a little closer to home for most Americans; crime and the economy.

            My co-host John Solomon addresses the heart of the issue in a recent article.

            Trump Pauses Rally To Check On Woman Who Fainted In Stands

              On Wednesday, former President Donald Trump paused his North Carolina rally to check on an attendee who fainted during the event.

              “What’s wrong? A doctor please. It is very hot here, I notice,” Trump said as people in the crowd shouted “Medic!”

              After a few moments, Trump stepped down from his podium and walked toward the stands on his left, where he chatted with the smiling woman, who had revived and held a bottle of water.

              Watch:

              The Republican nominee had to abandon the protection of the bulletproof glass he was speaking behind in order to approach the woman.

              Trump hugged her before returning to his podium.

              “Thank you very much. You know, they come two days, three days early, and it’s a lot of stress. We lose them,” Trump said when he returned to the podium on Wednesday.

              The temperature was over 75 degrees in Asheboro on Wednesday.

              Wednesday’s rally was Trump’s first one outdoors since a gunman made an assassination attempt on his life last month.

              During Wednesday’s rally, Trump also hammered several issues, particularly foreign threats.

              “Peace in Europe has been shattered by the largest European land war since the fall of Nazi Germany,” he said.

              Trump also threw barbs at his opponent, noting that during the 2020 presidential race, Harris dropped out before the Iowa Caucuses.

              “She ran against Biden. There were 22 people running. She was the first to leave. She quit,” Trump said. “She never made it to the first state in the primary.”

              “We have stupid people running our government, and she’ll be worse than Biden because he wasn’t really a believer, but she’s a radical Left believer,” he said. “She ruined San Francisco. She ruined California, and if she gets in, our country doesn’t have a chance.”

                The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Colorado cannot disqualify former President Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment’s insurrection ban. A significant victory for Trump as he seeks another term in the White House.

                “Former President Trump challenges that decision on several grounds. Because the Constitution makes Congress, rather than the States, responsible for enforcing Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates, we reverse,” reads the unsigned opinion from the court. 

                Trump celebrated the Supreme Court ruling to restore him to the ballot in Colorado a “BIG WIN FOR AMERICA.”

                “A great win for America. Very, very important!” Trump told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview Monday morning. 

                “Equally important for our country will be the decision that they will soon make on immunity for a president — without which, the presidency would be relegated to nothing more than a ceremonial position, which is far from what the founders intended,” Trump told Fox News Digital. “No president would be able to properly and effectively function without complete and total immunity.” 

                He added, “Our country would be put at great risk.” 

                Read the unsigned ruling below:

                SCOTUStrumpDownload

                The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December that Trump is disqualified from being president again and ineligible for the state’s primary

                The state’s highest court was the first to invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, a post-Civil War constitutional provision aimed at preventing those who “engaged in insurrection” from holding office. Until now, the Supreme Court has never ruled on the provision.

                The 14th Amendment, Section 3 of the Constitution states, “No person shall… hold any office… under the United States… who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States… to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”

                The former president faces more than 90 criminal charges in four prosecutions. Of those, the only one with a trial date is his state case in New York in which he’s charged with falsifying business records in connection with hush-money payments to a porn actor. That case is set for trial on March 25, and the judge has signaled his determination to press ahead.

                Judge Rules Lisa Cook May Stay In Role – For Now

                  Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can remain in her position after a bombshell ruling by a federal judge that followed President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to fire her.

                  On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb, a Biden appointee based in Washington, D.C., said that she will be moving Cook’s request into a preliminary injunction, which allows Cook to stay in her role, but will last through the entire case until a decision is made, pending any appeal from the government.

                  The judge said Cook has shown “irreparable harm” in her time away from the Federal Reserve as she is one of the leaders in controlling monetary policy, adding that “she has lost the ability to fulfill a high-ranking, public-servant role to which she is entitled.”

                  Fox Business reports:

                  The decision, which follows the Justice Department’s criminal investigation into Cook over allegations of mortgage application fraud, is the latest revelation in a high-stakes lawsuit likely headed to the Supreme Court. The probe could further complicate Cook’s fight to stay in her role on the Fed board, the panel of central bankers tasked with guiding the nation’s monetary policy.

                  After a hearing that lasted more than two hours on Aug. 29, Cobb indicated she would move quickly on the case — specifically on whether Trump acted unlawfully in seeking to fire Cook over mortgage fraud allegations.

                  Still, she also acknowledged the inherent complexities of the case and the novel requests that both Cook’s lawyers and lawyers for the Justice Department were grappling with for the first time in court. 

                  Last week, Cobb granted a request from Cook’s attorneys seeking additional time to file their formal motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO).

                  The TRO is a short-term, emergency court order designed to maintain the status quo until a full hearing can be held. In plain terms, Cook asked the court to pause the firing and keep her in office until a full legal hearing can determine whether Trump’s removal was lawful.

                  The legal battle kicked off last month when Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he was firing Cook amid claims by his Federal Housing Finance Agency chief, Bill Pulte, that she had committed mortgage fraud.

                  Trump ousted Cook on Aug. 25, which prompted her to sue him in federal court three days later. Her lawsuit names as defendants Trump, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.

                  Pulte claimed that Cook used an Atlanta condo as her primary home, two weeks after taking a loan on a Michigan home she also declared as her primary residence.

                  “You are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” Trump wrote in a letter that accompanied the post.

                  Cook’s lawsuit argues that Trump’s move to fire her is unlawful and undermines the Federal Reserve’s independence. The suit, which was filed in federal court on Aug. 28, does not address the allegations that Cook listed multiple houses as a primary residence on mortgage filings. 

                  Under the law, Cook has not been charged with any crimes.

                  Texas Rep. Targets Trump In Unhinged Rant During Rally Event

                    Texas Congressman Jasime Crockett unleashed an unhinged anti-Trump rant during a weekend event.

                    Crockett joined fellow Democratic lawmakers, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.) for the rally held by the political advocacy group to inspire voters ahead of next year’s midterm elections.

                    Ahead of her slam on Trump, the congresswoman said in the clip flagged by Mediaite she’s confident that a Democratic candidate will win the 2028 presidential election, and laid out the strategy the party should have to secure that victory.

                    “But what are we going to need to do then?” she asked. “For me, it’s getting aggressive.”

                    “Now listen, I’m not going to say that’s what we’re going to do, but I’m telling y’all what my vision’s [going to] be,” she continued, pointing to limiting the Supreme Court, which she called “corrupt.”

                    She then used the expletive against Trump but argued that it’s Congress and the high court that need to be reined in because they’re the institutions allowing him to implement his agenda.

                    “But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit,” she said.

                    President Donald Trump hit back at Democrat lawmaker on Tuesday, calling her “a very low IQ person” during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” 

                    “I won the election in a landslide,” Trump said. “And obviously that’s only, you know, we’re only six months in, but my poll numbers are better now, much better than during the election. Part of that is because the Democrat Party is self-destructing. I mean, when you have low IQ, people like Crockett, I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman. I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.” 

                    Trump said Crockett was “one of the leaders” of the Democrat Party, which he argued was “lost.” 

                    “But you have this woman, Crockett, she’s a very low IQ person,” the president said. “Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding. Are they? The Democrats are lost. They have Trump derangement syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going. [Senate Minority Leader Chuck] Schumer is finished. Schumer look, I watched him the other day. He’s lost all of his confidence.”

                    Florida Republican Moves to Expel Adam Schiff from Congress

                    A Florida freshman representative is taking drastic measures since the release of the Durham report.

                    Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl.) has filed a motion to have Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) expelled from Congress.

                    “He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman,” Luna said in a statement Wednesday. “The Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country.”

                    Schiff, who was the top lawmaker on the House Intelligence Committee when Democrats the House majority, has repeatedly claimed that Trump and his campaign colluded with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election. 

                    While the Durham report did not recommend any new charges it did offer a blistering review of how the FBI launched and carried out the investigation. It caps a four-year investigation by Durham.

                    “I’m convinced when this dark chapter of our history is written, it will reflect that those Republican members who lacked the courage to stand up to the most unethical president in U.S. history, Donald Trump, consoled themselves by attacking those who did,” Schiff said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday.

                    The California Democrat also knocked the conclusions of the Durham report, fighting back against the idea that it proved that his claims of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia were a lie.

                    “Durham spends four years trying to prove this deep state conspiracy theory that Trump kept telling his base was going to be proven,” Schiff said. “The whole thing, of course, was a big bust.”
