    West Virginia Democrat Senator Already Has a 2024 Challenger

    Republicans are looking forward to 2024 now that official projections reveal the GOP fell short of its goal to re-take the Senate this year.

    While the expected “red wave” turned out to be more of a “red ripple” conservatives refuse to be knocked down for long. Republicans are already setting their sights on which vulnerable Democrats to target during the next election cycle in hopes of turning the upper chamber red.

    Early reports indicate West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin should expect to find himself within the GOP’s crosshairs in 2024.

    Despite the fact Sen. Manchin has sided with Republicans more than any other Democrat lawmaker, strategists are predicting that won’t stop Mitch McConnell from pouring millions of dollars into West Virginia next cycle to flip Manchinโ€™s seat.

    West Virginia Attorney General and failed 2018 Senate hopeful Patrick Morrisey has already been named a likely challenger to seek Manchin’s seat.

    While speaking to The Hill, Morrisey said Manchin lost significant political capital when he voted in favor of President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, which included major components of President Bidenโ€™s agenda.

    Manchin stonewalled President Joe Biden’s original Build Back Better plan but ultimately was the deciding vote for the renegotiated Inflation Reduction Act.

    โ€œSen. Manchin deeply disappointed West Virginians and let them down tremendously when he supported the โ€˜Build Back Brokeโ€™ bill last summer. That legislation really hit our state very hard. You can dress up the pig any way you want but most people in West Virginia understand that that bill is going to hurt us,โ€ Morrisey told the outlet.

    โ€œHe let the air out of his balloon and itโ€™s not going to be so easy to pump it back up,โ€ he said.  

    Morrisey, who is โ€œevaluating optionsโ€ about what to do in 2024, said โ€œweโ€™re looking very closely at the Senate race.โ€  

    Morrisey and his team estimated they will have at least $12 million to spend on a Senate Republican primary alone.  

    โ€œI learned a lot from a past experience in a terrible political environment. The environment in 2024 is going to be much, much strongerโ€ for Republicans, he predicted.

    Morrisey narrowly lost his bid to unseat Manchin in 2018 by 3 percentage points or about 19,000 votes, which turned out to be closer than what the polls indicated before Election Day.

    The Hill also lists Gov. Jim Justice (R) and Rep. Alex Mooney (R) as other potential challengers to Manchin.

    However, on Tuesday Rep. Alex Mooney, R, W.Va., announced that he will run for Senate in 2024 in a bid to unseat Sen. Joe Manchin.

    Mooney announced his challenge in a radio interview on MetroNews Talkline on Tuesday morning.ย

    Intelligence Director Calls On Justice Department To Prosecute Obama Officials

    National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard is pushing the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute Obama administration officials linked to the debunked report alleging the 2016 Trump campaign engaged in Russian collusion.

    More details are coming out concerning alleged efforts by former President Barack Obama and his teamโ€™s efforts to drum up intelligence to create a narrative of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said on Sunday. (RELATED: Report: Obama Admin. โ€˜Manufacturedโ€™ Intelligence To Establish Russian Collusion Narrative)

    Gabbard appeared on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News, where she alleged a massive cover-up by intelligence officials in the Obama administration.

    โ€œThere was direct intent to cover up the truth about what occurred and who was responsible, and the broad network of how this seditious conspiracy was concocted and who exactly was responsible for carrying it out,โ€ Gabbard claimed.

    โ€œSo at the end of the day, we need to look at Pam Bondi?โ€ host Maria Bartiromo asked. โ€œIs that the person who, at the end of the day, is gonna bring us accountability. Pam Bondi?โ€

    Gabbard confirmed took the rare step of publicly calling on fellow administration officials to take action.

    โ€œAttorney General Pam Bondi, FBI director Kash Patel,โ€ the director responded. โ€œIt is their responsibility to gather all of the evidence, both that we have released, the facts that have already been known previously, the information that will continue to come out, and move forward with this prosecution and these indictments.โ€

    Gabbard told Bartiromo that her team released 100 documents on Friday.

    They โ€œprovide evidence of how this treasonous conspiracy was directed by President Obama just weeks before he was due to leave office after President Trump had already gotten elected,โ€ she noted. Gabbard also said they were referring all the records to the Department of Justice and FBI for a criminal referral.

    โ€œSo the effect of what President Obama and his senior national security team did was subvert the will of the American people, undermining our democratic republic, and enacting what would be essentially a years-long coup against President Trump, who was duly elected by the American people,โ€ Gabbard declared.

    Pressed on whether she expects future indictments and prosecutions, Gabbard replied, โ€œIโ€™m not a lawyer. In my view, we have the evidence to be able to move forward and bring about justice, yes, to prosecute and indict those responsible.โ€

    In aย threadย posted to X on Friday, Gabbard shared clips of documents and contended that Obama directed his top intelligence officials to โ€œcreateโ€ a new intelligence assessment in December 2016 that contradicted prior analyses, after which they โ€œleaned on their allies in the media to advance their falsehoodsโ€ and push the narrative that Russia โ€œintervened to hack the election in Trumpโ€™s favor.โ€

    Mel Gibson Rips Into Kamala Harris – Says Her IQ Matches A โ€˜Fence Postโ€™

    In a candid exchange with paparazzi at an airport, actor and two-time Oscar winning filmmakerย Mel Gibsonย let it be known in no uncertain terms what he thinks about Vice Presidentย Kamala Harris. The interaction,ย captured in footage obtained by TMZ, shows Gibson responding to questions about his opinion on the upcoming election.

    When asked by a cameraman, โ€œWho are you voting for?โ€ the paparazzo quickly suggested, โ€œIโ€™m gonna guess. Trump.โ€ Gibson, known for his outspoken nature, replied, โ€œI think thatโ€™s a pretty good guess.โ€ He then went on to critique Harris, stating, โ€œ[Kamala has a] miserable track record, appalling track record. No policies to speak of.โ€ His criticism culminated with a jab at Harrisโ€™s intelligence, claiming she has โ€œthe IQ of a fence post.โ€

    Gibson began his career in the late 1970s but rose to international fame with theย Mad Maxย series, starting withย Mad Maxย (1979). These films established him as a charismatic action star. His role inย Mad Maxย (1981) andย Mad Max Beyond Thunderdomeย (1985) cemented his status as a rugged and intense actor.

    Gibson gained further recognition with his role as Martin Riggs in theย Lethal Weaponย series, which started in 1987. The buddy-cop action films, known for their blend of humor and intense action, made him a certified A-listย Hollywoodย star.

    WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

    In addition to his action roles, Gibson showed his range in films like Hamlet (1990), where he delivered a well-received performance in a dramatic adaptation of Shakespeareโ€™s play. Other notable roles include Braveheart (1995), The Patriot (2000) and Signs (2002), showcasing his ability to play both intense warriors and more complex characters.

    Gibsonโ€™s transition into directing has been marked by critical acclaim. It was Braveheart (1995) that solidified his reputation as a director. The historical epic that tells the story of Scottish warrior William Wallace, who led a rebellion against English rule in the late 13th century, earned him the Best Director award, as well as Best Picture.

    In 2004, Gibson directed The Passion of the Christ, which dramatizes the final hours of Jesus Christโ€™s life. The film was a commercial success, grossing over $600 million worldwide. More than two decades later, the film has had a lasting cultural impact and remains a point of discussion in religious and film circles.

    Gibson continued to explore historical and cultural themes with Apocalypto (2006), a film set during the decline of the Mayan civilization. Known for its use of native languages and visceral intensity, Apocalypto was praised for its ambitious storytelling and immersive direction.

    After a period marked by personal and professional setbacks, Gibson made a notable comeback with Hacksaw Ridge (2016). The World War II drama tells the true story of Desmond Doss, a pacifist combat medic. Doss received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his acts of valor during the Battle of Okinawa. He was the first conscientious objector to be awarded this honor, though he preferred the term โ€œconscientious cooperatorโ€ because he did not refuse to serveโ€”only to carry a weapon.

    Gibson is currently working on The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, a follow-up to his 2004 film The Passion of the Christ. This sequel aims to explore the events between the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. The first part is in post-production and is scheduled for a 2025 releaseโ€‹.

    Additionally, Gibson is involved in Lethal Weapon 5, which marks his return as both director and actor, taking over the directorial role after the passing of the original series director, Richard Donner. The film will see Gibson reprising his role as Martin Riggs, with Danny Glover expected to return as Roger Murtaugh.

    Report: Trump Reportedly Picks Stephen Miller White House Job

    President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly tapped immigration adviser Stephen Miller to take on the role of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for policy.

    Two sources with knowledge of the plans told CNN that Miller โ€” a prominent figure during Trumpโ€™s first term and in his campaign team, and an advocate for hardline immigration policies โ€” is now expected to hold an expanded role as the administration returns to power.

    In Trumpโ€™s second term, the sources say Miller will push for a significant increase in deportations, with a reported target of over one million deportations per yearโ€”a tenfold increase from the current figures. He has been instrumental in shaping policies that align with this objective, reinforcing Trumpโ€™s broader vision of a heavily enforced immigration system.

    โ€œPresident-elect Trump will begin making decisions on who will serve in his second administration soon. Those decisions will be announced when they are made,โ€ Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told CNN.

    Meanwhile, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) is no longer in the running to become the next attorney general in President-elect Trumpโ€™s incoming administration.

    The former Missouri attorney general will instead refocus his attention on the judiciary by helping Trump shepherd judges through the upper chamber and work to enact his agenda. 

    โ€œI ran for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of the Show Me State and Iโ€™m just getting started,โ€ Schmitt wrote on X. โ€œThe American people have given President @realDonaldTrump a mandate. A mandate to secure our border, make America energy dominant and fight for the forgotten men and women of this country.โ€ 

    โ€œWe need America First fighters who donโ€™t just say they support the agenda but who are willing to stand in the breach and actually fight for it and for the hopes and dreams of the American people,โ€ Schmitt continued. โ€œIโ€™m ready to roll up my sleeves and be a champion for President Trump in the Senate.โ€

    CNN Clashes With Trump Spokeswoman, Abruptly Ends Interview

    On Monday morning, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly ended her interview with Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. The interview aired during CNN’s โ€œThis Morning,โ€ just three days before the network is set to host the first Trump-Biden debate on Thursday.

    Fighting Words From Team Trump

    The tension escalated when Leavitt accused the debate moderators, Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, of having a bias against President Trump.

    โ€œThat’s why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years and their biased coverage of him,โ€ Leavitt stated, previewing the upcoming debate.

    Visibly annoyed by Leavitt’s remarks, Hunt defended her colleagues. โ€œI’ll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, have acquitted themselves as professionals as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle. I’ll also say that if you talk to analysts of previous debates, that if you’re attacking the moderators, you’re usually losing.โ€

    Fox News reports:

    After Hunt tried to steer the conversation back to the debate, Leavitt told Hunt that it would take just five minutes to research Tapper and his commentary on the former president. 

    โ€œMa’am, I’m going to stop this interview if you’re going to continue to attack my colleagues,โ€ Hunt said. 

    After Leavitt argued she was stating facts about Bash and Tapper, Hunt cut the interview off, her voice rising as she went back to the panel.

    โ€œI would like to talk about Joe Biden and Donald Trump, whom you work for,โ€ Hunt said. When Leavitt continued, Hunt signaled to cut her off.

    โ€œI’m sorry, guys, we’re going to come back out to the panel,โ€ Hunt said, clearly fuming. โ€œKaroline, thank you very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point. She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump, and Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us later this week in Atlanta for this debate.โ€

    Thursday’s Debate: What You Need to Know

    The first 2024 presidential debate featuring President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump is scheduled for Thursday, June 27, at 9 p.m. (ET).

    CNN will host the event at their Atlanta studios, without a live studio audience.

    The debate will have strict rules. When one candidate isn’t speaking, their microphone will be muted. Each candidate will have only a pen, paper and water at their podium. There will be two commercial breaks during the 90-minute event.

    Viewers can watch the debate live on multiple platforms, including CNN, CNN International, CNN en Espaรฑol and streaming on Max (formerly HBO Max). The debate is the first of two agreed upon by both campaigns, with the second one scheduled for September 10, hosted by ABC News.

    Nobel Laureate Praises Trumpโ€™s Tough Stance on Maduro

    Nobel Peace Prize winner Marรญa Corina Machado, one of Venezuelaโ€™s most prominent pro-democracy leaders, is strongly backing President Donald Trumpโ€™s hard-line approach toward Nicolรกs Maduroโ€™s authoritarian regime. In a new interview that aired Sunday on CBSโ€™s Face the Nation, Machado said Trumpโ€™s strategy has given hope to millions of Venezuelans suffering under socialist rule.

    Asked whether she supports increased U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan officials and further U.S. seizures of illicit oil shipments, Machado was unequivocal.

    โ€œLook, I absolutely support President Trumpโ€™s strategy, and we, the Venezuelan people, are very grateful to him and to his administration, because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere,โ€ Machado told host Margaret Brennan.

    Speaking from Oslo, where she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize after spending nearly a year in hiding, Machado noted that she had dedicated part of the award to Trump.

    โ€œI think that he finally has put Venezuela in where it should be, in terms of a priority for the United Statesโ€™ national security.โ€

    Machado argued that Maduroโ€™s regime is far more dangerous than a conventional dictatorship.

    โ€œThis is a very complex criminal structure that has turned Venezuela into a safe haven of international crime and terrorist activities, starting with Russia, Iran, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Colombian guerrilla [groups], [and] the drug cartels operating freely and directed in partnership with Maduro and his regime.โ€

    Machado has long been one of Maduroโ€™s most effective opposition figures. After she overwhelmingly won the opposition primary in 2023, the regime barred her from running, then orchestrated an election that independent experts later declared โ€œmathematically and statistically impossible.โ€ Despite that, Maduro claimed victory and refused to relinquish power. Machado endorsed a stand-in candidate but remained the movementโ€™s central figureโ€”until she was forced into hiding for her safety.

    Now, speaking publicly for the first time in months, Machado is calling for increased international pressure.

    โ€œWe want every legal action through law enforcement โ€ฆ not only from the United States, also from other Caribbean, Latin American and European countries that further block the illegal activities of the regime.โ€

    Her argument is straightforward:

    โ€œWe need to increase the cost of staying in power by force. Once you arrive to that point in which the cost of staying in power is higher than the cost of leaving power, the regime will fall apart. And itโ€™s the moment where we advance into a negotiated transition.โ€

    Additional Context: Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize

    Machadoโ€™s praise comes as Trump has repeatedly been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, particularly for:

    • The Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nationsโ€”an achievement some foreign-policy experts called one of the most important diplomatic breakthroughs in decades.
    • His diplomatic efforts in reducing tensions with North Korea, which earned him multiple nominations from European lawmakers.
    • His support for democracy movements in Latin America, including Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

    A federal judge criticized the FBI and DOJ as he rejected a DOJ argument to keep the affidavit for the search warrant at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago under wraps.

    U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said the DOJ did not meet the government’s required burden of proof to keep the document sealed, The Daily Caller reports.

    Reinhart wrote in his ruling that the government had a to show if it has a compelling governmental interest and the denial of access is “narrowly tailored to serve that interest.โ€ย 

    The DOJ argued that the unsealing โ€œwould jeopardize the integrity of its ongoing criminal investigation,โ€ and that there were privacy concerns with unsealing it.

    In response, unsealing the document would โ€œunsealing the Affidavit would promote public understanding of historically significant events. This factor weighs in favor of disclosure.โ€

    However, Reinhart has the government did show a compelling interest in not unsealing the whole affidavit but that there was an alternative between unsealing the whole thing or not unsealing anything.

    Reinhart has given the agency until August 25th to propose the redactions of the document they would like.

    Governor Signals Plan To Redistrict Lone GOP Rep Out Of His Seat To Make State โ€˜Moreย Fairโ€™

    Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) might be the latest state leader to dive into the ongoing redistricting chaos across the country.

    Governor Wes Moore appeared on CBS Newsโ€™ โ€œFace The Nationโ€ on Sunday and said that, in the interests of โ€œfairness,โ€ he is considering gerrymandering the lone Republican in his stateโ€™s congressional delegation out of a U.S. House seat.

    Republican Rep. Andy Harris in Marylandโ€™s First Congressional District.ย 

    โ€œI want to make sure that we have fair lines and fair seats,โ€ said Moore. 

    Harris is the only Republican of Marylandโ€™s ten members of Congress. The Daily Wire reported in 2024, President Donald Trump received over a third of Marylandโ€™s vote. He lost the state to former Vice President Kamala Harris, who won 63% of the stateโ€™s vote.

    Moore said his plan to potentially gerrymander Harris out of the first district is about fighting against โ€œsituations where politicians are choosing voters.โ€

    โ€œWe need to be able to have fair maps, and we also need to make sure that if the president of the United States is putting his finger on the scale to try to manipulate elections because he knows that his policies cannot win in a ballot box, then it behooves each and every one of us to be able to keep all options on the table to ensure that the votersโ€™ voices can actually be heard,โ€ Moore said.

    Watch:

    Last week, the Texas state legislature passed a new congressional map that favors Republicans winning an extra five seats in the U.S. House in the upcoming midterm elections.

    The GOP push to redistrict in favor of Republicans has sparked a backlash from Democratic state officials who want to lean further into gerrymandering. California Governor Gavin Newsom has put forward a plan to draw a new map that could claw Democrats another five seats in Californiaโ€™s already overbalanced congressional delegation.

    However, in order for Newsomโ€™s plan to succeed, California voters must approve the new map since redistricting congressional seats in the state is controlled by an independent commission under a 2010 law. 

    California Republicans filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to stop the Democrat-dominated state legislature from holding a vote by the end of this week to advance the redistricting push.

    โ€œToday I joined my colleagues in filing a lawsuit challenging the rushed redistricting process. Californiaโ€™s Constitution requires bills to be in print for 30 days, but that safeguard was ignored. By bypassing this provision, Sacramento has effectively shut voters out of engaging in their own legislative process,โ€ Assembly member Tri Ta said on X.

    The petition cites a section of the state constitution that requires a monthlong review period for new legislation.

    Rosie Oโ€™Donnell Fled US For Ireland After Trumpโ€™s Win: Report

    Rosie Oโ€™Donnellย has followed through on her promise to leave the United States, confirming on social media late Tuesday that she has officially relocated toย Ireland. The 62-year-old comedian and actress made the move to Dublin on Jan. 15, bringing her 12-year-old daughter along with her.

    In a TikTok video, Oโ€™Donnell explained that she left the country because of the current political climate, saying the move was necessary to protect their well-being after President Donald Trumpโ€˜s reelection.

    She also revealed that sheโ€™s in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship, citing her familial roots in the country.

    โ€œI never thought Iโ€™d leave the country,โ€ Oโ€™Donnell acknowledged. โ€œBut this felt like the best decision for me and my child. And here we are.โ€

    Oโ€™Donnell revealed that sheโ€™s adjusting to life abroad and claimed that she and her youngest child are content. However, she admitted, โ€œBut I miss my other kids. I miss my friends.โ€

    Reaction from conservative influencers was swift and relentless, igniting a firestorm of online commentary and debate.

    The โ€™90s comedian and actressโ€™ European emigration follows a growing trend of high-profile liberals fleeing the U.S., including Ellen DeGeneres leaving the U.S. for countries like the U.K. and Ireland, driven by dissatisfaction with Trumpโ€™s policies, including his administrationโ€™s efforts to dismantle bureaucratic overreach and roll back executive actions on diversity, equity and inclusion.

    As reported by Fox News, the former View co-host has been publicly feuding with President Trump since 2006:

    Oโ€™Donnell disagrees with Trump not only politically. The two have also been involved in a feud since 2006 after she criticized him on โ€œThe Viewโ€ about his decision to be lenient toward a Miss USA winner who had been accused of drug use and other bad behavior.

    Oโ€™Donnell questioned Trumpโ€™s moral authority, referencing his personal history and business practices, and mocked his appearance. She stated, โ€œHeโ€™s the moral authority? Left the first wife, had an affair. Left the second wife, had an affair. Had kids both times. But heโ€™s the moral compass for 20-year-olds in America?โ€

    Trump responded to the criticism by calling Oโ€™Donnell a โ€œreal loser.โ€

    At the time, he said of Miss USA Tara Conner that he is a โ€œbeliever in second chances. Tara is a good person. Tara has tried hard. Tara is going to be given a second chance.โ€

    The pair continued to spar back and forth, with Oโ€™Donnell telling People magazine in 2014 their feud involved the โ€œmost bullying I ever experienced in my life.โ€

    Trump launched a series of verbal salvos against Oโ€™Donnell, calling her โ€œdisgusting,โ€ โ€œa slobโ€ and threatening legal action, although he never followed through with a lawsuit. He also commented on her appearance and personal life, intensifying their rivalry.

    While Oโ€™Donnell and her youngest child have settled in Ireland, she leaves behind five grown children in the U.S.:

    -Parker Jaren Oโ€™Donnell (29): Adopted in 1995, Parker attended Valley Forge Military Academy and now serves in the Marines.

    -Chelsea Belle Oโ€™Donnell (27):ย Chelsea has faced significant challenges, including a strained relationship with Rosie and legal issues related to drug possession and child neglect.

    -Blake Christopher Oโ€™Donnell (25): The most private of Oโ€™Donnellโ€™s children.

    -Vivienne Rose Oโ€™Donnell (22): A University of Delaware student who graduated high school in 2021.

    Will She Ever Return?

    Despite embracing her new life abroad, Oโ€™Donnell left the door open for a possible return.

    โ€œI miss so much about life back home,โ€ she said. โ€œBut Iโ€™m trying to find a home here in this beautiful country. When America is safe for all citizens and equal rights are truly protected, thatโ€™s when weโ€™ll consider coming back.โ€
