Rumored Biden replacement Gavin Newsom tells Joe how he would beat Trump

By Misty Severi, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) said he would focus on telling voters about the “extraordinary successes” of President Joe Biden’s administration if he was in the president’s shoes. The California governor claimed Biden had “the best three-year record” of any modern president, and that Democratic and independent voters needed to be more aware of those successes as the president sees low approval ratings. “We need to lift up the issues, the successes, the extraordinary successes of the last three years, [of] the Biden-Harris administration,” Newsom told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. “It’s not even a complicated campaign. We have the receipts. We have the best three-year record of any modern American...

RFK Jr. says Trump team reached out about VP spot

By Luke Gentile, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would not accept the vice presidential spot on former President Donald Trump's 2024 ticket, despite already having been approached by Trump's team. "I would not take that job," Kennedy, 70, said in a recent interview with NewsNation. "I'm flattered that President Trump would offer to me, but it's not something that I'm interested in." The idea of a Trump-Kennedy ticket had been floated by the Trump campaign, according to Kennedy. READ FULL ARTICLE ON GAZETTE.COM

The politics complicating the $78 billion child tax credit and business tax bill

By Zachary Halaschak, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Election-year politics threaten the passage of the bipartisan $78 billion child tax credit and business tax break bill. The bill faces hurdles in the Senate and the House, even after clearing the House Ways and Means Committee in an overwhelming 40-3 vote. Two big political winners of the legislation's passage would be Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR), who crafted the plan during weeks of negotiations. And the White House, at least from a messaging standpoint, also stands to gain a political advantage whether the legislation passes or not. READ FULL ARTICLE ON GAZETTE.COM

Another state could try to boot Trump from the 2024 ballot

By Peyton Sorosinski, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE Retired Republican Judge Clark Erickson, who said former President Donald Trump’s name should be removed from the Illinois ballot ahead of the March 19 primary for inciting an insurrection, recommended Sunday that a higher court should make the decision, not the state board of elections.  The objection to Trump’s ballot eligibility was brought forth by five Illinois voters who filed a petition earlier this month seeking to remove the former president from the state’s primary ballot. Trump’s attorneys, along with the group of objectors, presented their arguments on Friday to Erickson, the hearing officer.  “[Trump] does not dispute that he knew violence was occurring at the Capitol. He und...

Voters back Texas border wall, feel Biden starting ‘civil war’

By Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: THE GAZETTE A sizable majority of the public supports Texas’s construction of a wall along its border with Mexico and feels that President Joe Biden’s efforts to stop it are the first step toward civil war. In a sobering analysis of the escalating topic, 69% of likely 2024 voters said that they support the border wall and razor-wire fence that Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has ordered. Among those, a majority, 51%, said they “strongly” back Texas in its fight to stop illegal immigration and the surge of "gotaways" getting past federal border agents. The White House won the Supreme Court's support for stopping Texas, but not voters. Besides fighting voters, Biden has clashed with members of his own party over ...

Date set for Supreme Court hearing on major free speech Big Tech case

By Christopher Hutton, Washington Examiner | SOURCE: DENVER GAZETTE The Supreme Court announced Monday that it will hear arguments on March 18 in Murthy v. Missouri, a major case involving free speech, government agencies, and social media that could have monumental implications for content moderation. The case deals with whether or not federal agencies indirectly encouraged social media platforms such as Facebook and X, formerly Twitter, to take down posts on the basis that they contained false information about COVID-19. The case could set a significant precedent around social media and how much communication is allowed between federal agencies and tech companies before the speech becomes coercive. Louisiana-based U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty i...

Former Judge’s Opinion on Trump’s Disqualification Raises Concerns

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A former Republican judge, Clark Erickson, appointed to hear arguments on whether to disqualify former President Donald J. Trump from the Illinois primary ballot, made headlines on Sunday with his opinion that Trump engaged in insurrection by attempting to remain in office after the 2020 election. While Erickson's opinion will be considered by the State Board of Elections, he also stated that the board lacks the authority to disqualify Trump on those grounds, suggesting that the matter should be left to the courts. While Trump has been found ineligible for the primaries in Colorado and Maine. The former president is likely to appear on the primary ballots in those states as the U.S. Supreme Court considers an appeal of the Colorado ruling. In Illinoi...

Truck Convoy Heading to Southern Border Calling Itself An ‘Army of God.’

By the Lobby A convoy of self-proclaimed ‘patriotic Americans’ is gearing up to head to the U.S.-Mexico border next week, as tensions between Texas and the federal government continue to escalate. Dubbed the "Take Our Border Back" convoy, the organizers have named themselves as "God's army" on a mission to combat the so-called globalists who they believe are conspiring to keep the U.S. borders open and undermine the nation. During a recent planning call, one of the convoy organizers described the event as a monumental moment orchestrated by God. Another participant emphasized the need for the faithful remnant, referring to the Book of Revelation, to rise against the dark forces of evil. While these statements may resonate with some, experts warn that the Christian nationalist over...

The Border Patrol Union Denounces Supreme Court Ruling Allowing Removal of Razor Wire on Texas-Mexico Border

By the Lobby The recent Supreme Court ruling allowing the removal of razor wire along the southern border between Texas and Mexico has ignited a fierce debate between the Texas authorities and the US federal government. This weekend, Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd strongly condemned the recent decision, stating that agents are against cutting down the barbed-wire fences. In a recent appearance on Newsmax's Saturday Report, Judd expressed his disapproval of the Supreme Court ruling, which grants the federal government the constitutional authority to remove the barbed wire on the Texas-Mexico border. While the Border Patrol has been directed to dismantle the razor wire, the Texas National Guard has been actively installing more wire, which Judd clarified does not viola...
