    Donald Trump did not sign Illinois pledge not to overthrow government

    excerpt:

    "Joe Biden’s 2024 election campaign has lambasted former president and most likely Republican opponent Donald Trump for failing to sign a loyalty oath in the state of Illinois, in which candidates pledge against advocating for an overthrow of the government.

    The Biden campaign was responding to an investigation by Illinois news outlets WBEZ and the Chicago Sun-Times, which reported that Trump sidestepped signing the McCarthy era voluntary pledge that is part of the midwestern state’s package of ballot-access paperwork submitted by 2024 electoral candidates last week."

    Former federal judge: Trump’s violation of 14th Amendment ‘couldn’t be any clearer’ | The Hill

    excerpt:

    "Luttig previously argued that the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision is not “anti-democratic,” but rather Trump’s conduct that prompted the disqualification was anti-democratic.

    “What the American public is going to come to understand is that the Constitution of the United States is what will forbid the former President from … holding the office of the presidency again, if that’s the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States,” Luttig said Saturday.

    “So that is not a question … that’s open to the American people,” he continued. “The Constitution, the United States has settled this issue, beginning with the ratification of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in 1868, provided that that’s what the Supreme Court of the United States holds.”"

    Cheney blasts Trump's vague remarks about negotiating the Civil War.

    Trump said at a rally that he had read 'something' about the Civil War.


    With Time Running Short, Liz Cheney Implores Republicans to Reject Trump

    excerpt:

    A day later, she blasted Mr. Trump’s suggestion on the campaign trail that the Civil War could have been prevented if President Abraham Lincoln had “negotiated.”

    “Which part of the Civil War ‘could have been negotiated’? The slavery part? The secession part? Whether Lincoln should have preserved the Union?” she wrote on X. “Question for members of the G.O.P. — the party of Lincoln — who have endorsed Donald Trump: How can you possibly defend this?”

    The GOP is conducting impeachment hearings on Biden's Secretary of Homeland Security for allegedly not following the law concerning the Mexican-U.S. border.


    House Republicans to seek to impeach US homeland security secretary

    excerpt:

    "US House Republicans will seek to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas, Joe Biden’s secretary of homeland security, alleging “egregious misconduct and refusal to enforce the law” in relation to immigration policy and the southern border."

    It appears that the GOP knows that it will be difficult to raise enough votes to impeach Biden in 2024. Impeaching the Homeland Security secretary might be easier for a 2024 campaign talking point.

    It's embarrassing to the GOP that Comer tried to find financial dirt on Biden to impeach him but found Trump instead.

    Comer's inquiry on Biden found that Trump received almost $8 million from foreign governments while he was president.

    excerpt:

    Grimsley noted that despite the repeated efforts by Trump’s attorneys to characterize the committee as politically motivated, few of its factual findings were disputed.

    “They haven’t come in here and really challenged the veracity of many of those findings. They just complain about the process,” Grimsley said. “President Trump could have come in here and testified. There are other people who could have come in here and testified. But they don’t really question any of the findings that we’re relying on.”

    It is a perverted image of him - a take-off on a much loved and admired "God made the Farmer" video from years ago narrated by Paul Harvey - they used a voice very similar to Mr. Harvey's voice. I guess you can do pretty much anything these days with AI.

    Potential off-ramps for the Supreme Court in the disqualification case.


    5 ways the Supreme Court may try to defuse its newest Trump bomb

    excerpt:

    POTUS isn’t an ‘officer’

    Maybe there ought to be a law, but there isn’t

    This isn’t fair to Trump

    It’s too soon to declare Trump ineligible

    The case is too hot to handle

    It's ironic Trump's supporters would do a video of him in the likes of Paul Harvey who was supportive of farmers and who scorned frivolous use of welfare.

    Trump's trade wars put U.S. farmers on tens of billions of dollars of welfare from taxpayers. Trump is still praising this at his 2024 campaign rallies. In decades past, farmers would see this as an insult to their individualism and self-reliaance that Paul Harvey praised.

    The 'God Made Trump' video uses a clip from the creepy black-and-white 'final battle' campaign video of him that he posted in June 2023 that shows him walking down empty corridors with psychotic glazed eyes, appearing to enter through an emergency exit door (like a mass shooter sneaking into a movie theater).

    Article from June 2023.


    Trump mocked for ‘weird apocalyptic’ campaign video

    excerpt:

    "Donald Trump has been mocked for a bizarre, black and white campaign video where he gives a “weird apocalyptic” message about taking the country back in 2024.

    The video, released on Truth Social on Thursday night, begins with a shot of the walls and doors along a non-descript corridor.

    Mr Trump then emerges into the shot – appearing to enter from an emergency exit door – and slowly walks down the corridor towards the camera.

    During the black and white video, a voiceover of the former president plays in which he tells his supporters “this is the final battle” and pledges to ”demolish the deep state”."

    The riot in Brazil compared to the one at the U.S. Capitol.


    Two Capitol Riots. Two Very Different Results.

    excerpt:

    "On the night after the Jan. 8 riot, Brazil’s leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, marched arm-in-arm across the federal government’s central plaza with governors, congressional leaders and judges from both the left and right in a show of unity against the attack.

    In the hours after the Jan. 6 riot, some Republican members of Congress voted against certifying President Joe Biden’s election victory, and since then, Republicans have increasingly sought to recast the insurrection as a patriotic act — or even an inside job by the left."
