Haley's Hail Mary strategy depends on open primaries

Sophia Cai / AXIOS

Nikki Haley is seeking a complex — and unlikely — path to the GOP presidential nomination by relying on independent and Democratic voters in 13 states with primaries that are open to non-Republicans.

Why it matters: It's a long shot, but Haley's Hail Mary strategy might help her chip away at GOP front-runner Donald Trump as he faces legal challenges that could complicate his campaign.

• Haley's team is pinning its hopes on the primary formats in South Carolina, Michigan and 11 of the 16 Super Tuesday states whose March 5 primaries aren't limited to registered Republicans.

Zoom in: The former UN ambassador also is bashing Trump in a flurry of media appearances, daring him to debate her and embarking on a fundraising frenzy this week.

• It's a tough sell: The GOP's base continues to rally around Trump, who won the season's first two contests, in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Ron DeSantis calls for Ilhan Omar’s deportation, expulsion from Congress for ‘Somalia First’ comments

Bradford Betz / Fox News

 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday called for "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., to be expelled from Congress, have her citizenship revoked, and deported from the country over a speech she gave which critics alleged Omar put the interests of Somalis over Americans.

 

The clip of Omar’s Jan. 27 speech, which went viral this week, appeared to show the Somali-born congresswoman assuring her constituents that she would use her influence to ensure the breakaway Republic of Somaliland would not enter a sea-access deal with Ethiopia.

 

A translation of the clip DeSantis re-shared shows Omar telling the crowd: "The U.S. is a country where one of your daughters is in Congress to represent your interest." 

"For as long as I am in the U.S. Congress, Somalia will never be in danger, its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others … Sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system." Read more, see Xs and videos here.

Marjorie Taylor Greene predicts Mayorkas impeachment articles will pass House without any Dem support

Greene introduced the impeachment articles in November, accusing Mayorkas of 'breach of public trust'

Elizabeth Elkind / Fox News

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., is predicting that not a single House Democrat will vote in favor of impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the migrant crisis at the border.

The House Homeland Security Committee is meeting Tuesday morning to advance two articles of impeachment against Mayorkas – one for "willful and systematic refusal to comply with the law," and the second accusing him of a "breach of public trust."

"I still can't believe I had to force the floor vote on the House floor," Greene told Fox News Digital. "I guess I can be thanking these Democrats and these eight Republicans now that those articles of impeachment were moved, that my articles were moved to Homeland because… Chairman Mark Green and the other Republicans on Homeland, having dealt face-to-face and gone through all the hearings that we did, with all the witnesses that we brought in…they had the will to impeach Mayorkas."

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com nor Google.

 

...The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central”  as their once “Fair and Balanced” moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt “election interference” and maybe even “election suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.

And while some will say it would not have changed the final outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might still have been the winner, he might not have reached the all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.

Arab officials held secret meeting to discuss plans for post-war Gaza

Barak Ravid /  .axios.com

Senior national security officials from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority secretly met in Riyadh 10 days ago to coordinate plans for the day after the war in Gaza and discuss ways to involve a revitalized Palestinian Authority in governing there, three sources with knowledge of the meeting told Axios.

Why it matters: The meeting is another sign of the increased coordination between Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian Authority in recent months, especially since the war in Gaza started.

• The Palestinian Authority and its Arab allies are increasingly discussing plans for the day after the conflict ends but the Israeli government has said little about how it sees Gaza being governed if it achieves its goal of defeating Hamas.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposes allowing the Palestinian Authority to have a role in Gaza but hasn't proposed an alternative. Israeli Defense Forces chief of staff Gen. Herzi Halevi warned the Israeli security cabinet that the military gains in Gaza could go to waste without an Israeli diplomatic plan for the day after.

Iran-backed militia attack update: 34 US service members injured, 8 evacuated from Jordan

The fatalities marked a major escalation after months of strikes by such groups against American forces across the Middle East

 Bradford Betz , Liz Friden / Fox News

 

The number of injured continues to climb after Iran-backed militias killed three U.S. service members and injured dozens more in an overnight attack on a military base in northeast Jordan. 

By late Sunday, the number of injured had climbed to 34 service members. This included at least eight personnel whose injuries warranted an evacuation from Jordan to higher-level care, though they were believed to be in stable condition.

Fox News is told all service members are being fully evaluated for follow-on care. The number of injured was expected to fluctuate. 

The injuries mostly include traumatic brain injury, though the number of cases will likely go up as symptoms can take time to develop.

Militant groups targeted the logistics support base located at Tower 22 of the Jordanian Defense Network. There are around 350 U.S. Army and Air Force personnel deployed at the base to counter ISIS. Read more, see X and video here.

Ex-FBI officials warn Congress of 'new and imminent' border danger: 'The country has been invaded'

There were over 300,000 encounters at the border in December

Adam Shaw / Fox News

A coalition of former FBI officials has issued a warning about a "new and imminent danger" for the U.S. at the southern border, suggesting the country has "been invaded" by military-age foreign nationals.

In a letter sent last week to congressional leaders in the House and Senate, the retired officials "express our concern about a current, specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the United States."

The letter warns "the United States is facing a new and imminent danger" and highlights what the officials say is a threat of an invasion at the southern border, where there were over 302,000 migrant encounters in December after a record fiscal 2023 in which there were 2.4 million migrant encounters.

"In its modern history, the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland and, yet, one is unfolding now," they say. "Military aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United...Read more and see videos here.

So, That's Why Biden Wants Israel to Scale Down Its War in Gaza

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Young voters are already frustrated that Joe Biden couldn’t deliver on an actual student loan bailout. Biden didn’t have the votes in Congress to pull off something of that scale, and doing so by executive decree was later deemed constitutionally questionable. He did so on a smaller scale because Joe, like crackhead Hunter, thinks the rules don’t apply to him.

Still, it hasn’t masked the fact that young voters are souring on Joe; they think he’s too old, and now he’s enabling genocide in Gaza. You know there’s no genocide in Gaza. Still, the kiddos and the Muslim voters here think Treblinka 2.0 is unfolding before our very eyes, blinded to the fact that Hamas committed an actual genocidal terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. Israel is killing terrorists. The Palestinian people support Hamas and their attacks. I’m not crying over the death toll. Read more and see X here.

John Kennedy Stumps Another Biden Nominee With Simple Question

Sarah Arnold / Townhall Tipsheet

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) once again stumped a Biden judicial nominee after asking her a simple question about how the Court of Federal Claims works.

This week, Kennedy asked Biden nominee Robin M. Meriweather how many motions she has argued in the court of federal claims. In response, she said, “hundreds of motions involving complex civil claims in numerous courts, the court of federal claims is not one of those courts.”

Kennedy confirmed the answer was zero before he asked Meriweather to tell him the grounds for granting a new trial in the Court of Federal Claims. 

Meriweather continuously dodged the senator’s question, refusing to answer the grounds for granting a new trial.

"All of the trials in the Court of Federal Claims are bench trials and the Court of Federal Claims, although it is not bound by the federal rules of civil procedure, its rules mirror those rules when applicable. So it’s my understanding that the same rules that would apply in the district court are also applied in that context, but if I...Read more, seeXs and video here.

Governor pledges to ship razor wire to Texas if Biden stops Abbott 

Noem says governors are commanders-in-chief, too

Charles Creitz / Fox News

A Republican governor of an interior state pledged to drive in razor wire on the border herself if Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is stopped by President Biden or federal forces from retaining operational control of a park in Eagle Pass.

Meanwhile, the U.S. congressman who represents the area warned Biden would be an "idiot" to commence a standoff or worse with Texas National Guard members now using the park, as parallels were drawn to the last instance of National Guard federalization 67 years ago.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News that Abbott is doing the right thing by standing firm after a Supreme Court ruling in which two conservative justices sided with the liberals to vacate a lower court's order preventing U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing the park, which has reportedly been a high-traffic illegal migrant arcade. The court’s decision allows Border Patrol agents to cut concertina wire that Texas had installed along the border near Eagle Pass while litigation...Read more see X and videos here. 

The January 6 Committee Destroyed Encrypted Files 

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

When you have a terrible sales pitch, it’s best to eliminate the materials. Except this wasn’t a sales pitch—it was an official act of Congress that required evidence to be collected, cataloged, and preserved. People were sworn under oath to make the case that Donald Trump was Augusto Pinochet reincarnated, who tried to overthrow the government on January 6, 2021. Then-Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) staked their political careers on this Democratic hit job and lost. Cheney got blown out in a primary challenge, while Kinzinger opted not to seek reelection. 

After months of this select committee, they turned up nothing that we didn’t already know, which was that Trump didn’t foment an armed rebellion, this wasn’t some cataclysmic event, and this was all one massive Democratic Party fundraising operation—all of which was given the stamp of bipartisan approval because of Kinzinger and Cheney’s participation.

Border battle lines: Dems call on Biden to seize control of Texas National Guard, as GOP allies back Abbott

The Lone Star State is fighting multiple legal battles with the federal government amid the migrant invasion at the southern border

Greg Wehner / Fox News

As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to tout the state’s right to self-defend itself from a migrant invasion, some Democratic lawmakers are calling on President Biden to take control of the state’s National Guard.

Abbott issued a lengthy statement Wednesday, saying the federal government broke the compact between the U.S. and the individual states.

"The Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting states, including immigration laws on the books right now," Abbott said. "President Biden has refused to enforce those laws and has even violated them."

Abbott is fighting multiple legal battles with the Biden administration, which has threatened legal action over Texas’ seizure of Shelby Park near Eagle Pass. Texas has also filed lawsuits against the administration, which cut razor wire set up by the state on the Rio Grande to prevent migrants from illegally crossing into Texas, as well as the establishment of buoys on the river.

After Trump's Win in New Hampshire, The Liberal Media Suffered Another Meltdown

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

It’s hitting them, and the liberal media doesn’t know what to do. Former President Donald Trump trounced former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who vowed to fight on despite this being the contest to halt Trump’s momentum. It’s over. Either Haley doesn’t know it yet, or she’s being forced to continue this unrealistic bid for the 2024 Republican nomination by the liberal donor class. 

CNN didn’t carry Trump’s victory speech in New Hampshire. MSNBC could barely get through it. If I had to guess, when Tom Homan, the former acting director of ICE, spoke about immigration, that was when they cut the cameras.

 

The two primary liberal narratives against Trump are that he might be senile, harping on a probable teleprompter screw-up, or he’s Adolf Hitler in waiting. MSNBC is the leading manufacturing base for this inanity. The senile part is laughable, being undercut when Nancy Pelosi did her media spot and blew a fuse on live television.

Trump ‘honored’ by New Hampshire win, says Republican Party is ‘very united’

Brooke Singman / Fox News

 

Former President Trump said he is “very honored” by his New Hampshire primary win Tuesday night, telling Fox News Digital that the Republican Party is “very united” behind his candidacy.

Trump won the first-in-the-nation primary Tuesday night, defeating former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Trump also won the Iowa caucuses last week.

During an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital shortly after the race was called, Trump said he was honored.

I’m very honored by the result,” Trump said.

New Hampshire – where independent voters who make up roughly 40% of the electorate can vote in either major party’s contest and have long played an influential role in the state’s storied presidential primary – was considered fertile ground for Haley. And Haley spent plenty of time and resources in the state, securing the influential endorsement of popular Republican Gov. Chris Sununu. Read more and see video here.

The Supreme Court Just Took a Side in the Biden Border Crisis

Spencer Brown / TTownhall Tip sheet

 

The Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration on Monday in a split decision that will allow federal agents to cut razor wire installed by Texas officials along the U.S.-Mexico border amid the worsening crisis created by President Biden's policies.

 

The 5-4 decision granted an emergency appeal filed by the Biden administration to reverse an injunction from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and now allows the feds to dismantle concertina wire while the lawsuit over Texas' efforts to assume the duties of enforcing the international border — a responsibility that's been abdicated by the Biden administration — moves ahead. 

According to the Court's order in Department of Homeland Security et al. v Texas: 

"The application to vacate injunction presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is granted. The December 19, 2023 order of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, case No. 23-50869, is vacated.

Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would deny the application to vacate injunction." Read more and see X here.

US Defense officials say more large scale strikes conducted against Houthi forces  

The strikes consisted of Tomahawk missiles fired from U.S. warships, as well as F-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier

Liz Friden , Jennifer Griffin , Greg Wehner / Fox News

 

U.S. Defense officials said U.S. and U.K. ships and warplanes carried out multiple strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Monday.

Multiple locations in Yemen experienced large explosions which were the result of the airstrikes.

A U.S. official tells Fox News one of the Houthi targets struck by U.S. and British munitions included Al Dailami Air Base along with missile launching sites and weapons storage facilities for ballistic missiles and drones.

This is the second joint U.S.-U.K. strikes from air and sea since Jan 11.

The strikes consisted of Tomahawk missiles fired from U.S. warships, as well as F-18 fighter jets from the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier.

Op-ed: 

The Media...An Enemy Within 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com nor Google.

 

Author's Note: This article was written before my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis dropped out of the race. The media's unceasing push for Trump and the Iowa Caucus going forward when it should have been delayed due to the weather...only 18.5% of the those eligible to vote where able to vote...set the stage for what was to follow.

“Absolutely outrageous that the media would participate in election interference by calling the race before tens of thousands of Iowans even had a chance to vote.” ”The media is in the tank for Trump and this is the most egregious example yet.” - DeSantis spokesperson Andrew Romeo

After last Monday's Iowa Caucus...believed by many to be a “bellwether” for who will go on to become the presidential candidate for each party....I am more convinced than ever that the media... both mainstream and otherwise...are truly an “enemy within.” Why so...because while said caucus had basically just started, The Associated Press declared a Trump victory at 7:31p.m. local time...a mere 31-minutes into the caucus...with only eight of 99 Iowa counties having reporting their results. And FOX immediately took their cue from the AP as did other media outlets, thus basing their winning call on but a mere 1,000 votes tallied in two or three precincts in a rural area of Iowa...which equated to less than one percent of the total votes yet to be counted.

Simply, FOX was the first to officially declare Donald Trump the Iowa Caucus winner...as they so hoped he'd be. After all Trump is the very man FOX...and most especially Sean Hannity...has been pushing down viewers throats for months. And they did so no matter their standing, in-place policy not to call any election until all the polls are closed.

Guess FOX was too greedy to pass up a ratings bonanza, hence bottom line monetary profits, not to do so. A ratings bonanza that in actuality equated to a stab in the back for the other four candidates and most especially for Iowa caucus goers themselves. How so? This announcement by FOX was heard in the precincts where caucusing was still ongoing with many folks still undecided and not yet having cast their vote, along with votes already cast but yet to be counted across the entirety of the state.

The fix was in, and FOX might as well now officially call itself “Trump Central”  as their once “Fair and Balanced” moniker is one for the media history books as their sole driving force seems to be to dominate the entire media discourse by any and all means possible. And last Monday night's actions has led me to believe that FOX is...to some degree...guilty of overt “election interference” and maybe even “election suppression” by their...and the other networks...calling the election caucus way too early not to have swayed votes.

And while some will say it would not have changed the final outcome in favor of Trump, it indeed did. How so? While Trump might still have been the winner, he might not have reached the all-important 50% thresh hold which would have allowed the other candidates to be awarded more delegates and Trump less delegates...a key factor numbers wise in regards to the nominating convention.

So now FOX joins the collective of what I consider to be the media being the one who actually does choose our candidates and nominees for us...with no vacillation or disagreement allowed as to their discourse. No wonder a recent Hill-Harris poll found that 33% of Americans deem the media to be an “enemy of the people”...no wonder the DeSantis campaign has called FOX News to task.

And while my chosen candidate Ron DeSantis did finish in second place garnering nine Iowa delegates as opposed to Trump's 20; with Nikki Haley garnering eight; Vivek Ramaswarmy getting three, and Assa Hutchinson with no delegates allotted...this early call by FOX and the others was not only unfair to all the candidates, but now the Democrats are truly on their way to seeing a Trump/Biden rematch...s something the majority of Americans still do not want to see happening.

Why so...because most know well that the Democrats have had eight years to fine tune their infamous “election irregularities”...to put what amounts to “election fraud” in more politically acceptable terms.

Another key component regarding the unfairness of Monday's caucus itself, is the fact that Paul D. Pate...Iowa's Secretary of State and also the State Commissioner of Elections...who, while this is not an accusation by any means, was supported by Trump in his run for Secretary of State...knew days ahead of time...as did we all...what the severity of the weather on caucus night would be. In fact, the weather was so bad Monday night that not only did it break a two-decades-long low regarding frigid weather, but saw minus 40-degree wind chills and roads encased in ice and snow being what forced the majority of caucus goers to stay home...and rightly so in such dangerous conditions.

Simply, Pate should have put the “health, safety, and welfare” of Iowans first by postponing the caucus, by at least a few days, until the system moved eastward and away from Iowa, which would have allowed for what he had to know would be a more representational vote tally across the state.

But sadly, thanks to the weather, truly representational the caucus numbers were not. And this can be seen in the actual tallies and corresponding facts as they pertain to the how and why this worked out in Trump's favor. First the numbers. Fact number I: Iowa has 594,533 registered Republican voters of which only 110,298 of said voters showed up to caucus due to the inclement weather. Fact 2: This translated into only 18.5 percent of all those who could caucus actually caucusing then voting, meaning 81.5 percent of Iowans were not...I repeat not...able to caucus and vote, again because of the weather. Fact 3: this most important of caucuses not only saw the lowest number of voter turnout since 2000...a year when only 86,000 Iowa Republicans were able to cast their ballots due to temperatures reaching but 5 degrees...a warm streak compared to last Monday night...but sadly was decided by less than 20 percent of all Republicans who were eligible to vote.

And now the media is on a Trump roll...for the liberal media it means counting on Trump losing to Biden...while the conservative, right-leaning media claims that Iowa is the start of a “domino affect” for Trump, something they claim will be akin to Ronald Reagan's landslide victory over Jimmy Carter in 1980. This was when Reagan garnered 489 Electoral College votes along with 50.8% of the popular vote as opposed to Carter's 41.0% of the popular vote and carrying just six states and Washington, D.C.

But even primary/caucus wins come replete with certain caveats, one being that while Donald Trump...who is no Reagan...even the MAGA slogan is not his...won the 2020 Iowa Republican caucus, he did not win the general election. In fact, Iowa has not determined the outcome of the actual presidential election correctly but two times in the past six elections...not a great record I'd say. And yet the media...especially FOX News...as I write this...heralds this one caucus win that due to the weathers low voter turnout does not truly represent the whole of Iowa's Republican voters...yet they shove Trump news down our throats in almost every news block.

And with reporting like that both Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley have basically been deemed by FOX “talking heads” to be losers months before the nominating convention has even taken place, let alone all the primaries. And it's my opinion that this type of reporting is indeed a form of “election interference” for it leaves a bad taste in one's mouth that there's now no reason to go vote...no reason because a once trusted news source has already declared Trump the winner. 

And the gullible and lazy amongst the uniformed and misinformed Republican masses will fall into line and do as FOX is basically, albeit veiled, telling them to do...as in only vote Trump...no matter this truly not funny under the dangerous weather conditions comment Trump made before the caucus started.

But it's not just the media “talking heads” that are the problem, but so too are some of the print reporters. Take the case of an article that appeared in last Thursday's “Townhall Tipsheet” where Matt Vespa reported on possible Trump VP picks. He listed four possible VP choices, Sen. Tim Scott (R-NC); Gov, Krisi Noem (R-SD); Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL); and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). But of these four mentioned, I believe Trump is more likely to choose a women to counter Kamala Harris on the Biden ticket.

As for Trump loyalist Kristi Noem...a great governor able to counter balance the ego and overblown rhetoric spewed by Trump himself...saw Vespa pushing for New York Rep. Elise Stefanik who, at this point in time, seems to be the one Trump is leaning towards especially after his having recently stated that Stefanik, “would be a killer VP pick.”

So why did Matt Vespa basically write South Dakota's governor out as a VP pick...because and I quote, “Noem caved on trans athletes,” something which is beyond a shadow of a doubt not true.

Let me briefly explain just how the media twists the facts to meet its political agenda by using the above stated example. If Matt Vespa had done his research instead of buying into the propaganda FOX and others are spewing out, he would have found that SD-46, banned trans youth from participating in school sports consistent with their gender “identity.” Forced upon vote in 2021 to veto a bill addressing this issue, Noem did so because of called into question verbal “legalize”...”legalize” that would have opened up South Dakota to numerous leftist initiated lawsuits...lawsuits that might well have bankrupted the state. 

Also, Vespa failed to mention that later in 2021, Gov. Noem actually issued two executive orders...stop gap measures to restrict participation on female sports teams only to those “assigned female at birth." Then in 2022, Noem rewrote the bill in correct “legalize” which passed the legislature and which she then signed into law.

In other words, Gov. Kristi Noem first via executive order overrode the previous “legalized” flawed bill giving herself some time to rewrite and replace said bill with what was unchallenged wording, thus putting into law the very thing Matt Vespa said she caved to.

I bring this up to show that it's not just the left who are influencing the upcoming election courtesy of words written or spoken, but that our side is too. In the case of Townhall's Matt Vespa, this involves a possible VP choice...a choice which while somewhat veiled could, he hopes, see his piece as a way to help sway those of us currently supporting Ron DeSantis or Nikki Haley, to cross over to the Trump side. 

In the case of FOX News it's more in your face obvious that FOX has indeed become the spokes-mouth for Trump, and will do any and everything to see him win...which via viewership ratings puts money in their pockets...even if it includes flooding the airwaves with everything Trump giving little air time to his Republican opponents, with the airtime they do give likely to be negative in nature.

Simply, unless the media in general is reigned in regarding their overtly biased and partisan reporting...unless election fraud itself is dealt with...which reality shows it has not even started to be...we will continue to see the media complicit in dictating who the candidates will be, meaning we will never see a fair unbiased election again. A lack of ethics, common sense, and in Trump's case decorum, will surely see to that. Case closed.
