President Joe Biden may face a primary challenge if he runs for re-election in 2024. Analysts speculate Illinois Governor JB Pritzker may be eyeing the White House despite his claims that his focus remains on the state's upcoming gubernatorial race. Pritzker said Wednesday it is 'certainly possible' Biden would face a Democrat challenger, but added: 'It's not something I'm encouraging.'

Under Obamacare, black women “have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country”By Daniel Alman (aka Dan from Squirrel Hill)July 4, 2022Under Obamacare, black women “have insurmountable challenges just getting health care in this country.”And you don’t have to take my word for that.NBC News just reported: (the bolding is mine)Black women are underserved when it comes to birth control access.

Why are woke white people always trying to convince blacks and other minorities that the American system is rigged against us and forces driven by white privilege will never let us excel? In a recent commencement address, Carol Strohecker, dean of the University of Minnesota’s College of Design, perpetuated that narrative by saying anti-black racism killed Minnesotans like George Floyd and Amir Locke and countless other black Americans across our nation. Strohecker is another liberal in the woke mob, trying to convince black people, like me, that America is racist, and we are oppressed. No matter how hard white liberals...

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has stirred controversy after she made moves to codify protections for ‘gender identity’ into the state’s constitution.

Trump holding a colossal 40-point lead over the rest of the potential field if he decides to run.The Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, obtained by the Hill, reveals that Trump drew 56 percent of respondents’ support, while 16 percent chose Gov.

SANTA FE – The attorneys who filed a last-ditch lawsuit on behalf of President Donald Trump’s campaign in an attempt to stop New Mexico’s 2020 election results from being finalized could face investigation and possible discipline, under a court petition filed Thursday with the state Supreme Court. The Supreme Court petition, filed on behalf of six New Mexico attorneys, says a probe would also shed light on how New Mexico fit into a national Trump campaign scheme that has drawn scrutiny from a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol. But the 31-page petition mostly...

Election tech company Dominion Voting Systems is rebutting assorted claims of partisan bias and voting manipulation in the 2020 election, including rumors of a secret U.S. military raid on purported servers in Germany and ownership interests and other influence in the firm by prominent Democratic families. At the same time, Dominion has confirmed reports it made a donation to the Clinton Foundation and hired a former Nancy Pelosi staffer as a lobbyist. Dominion has been at the center of a firestorm since Nov. 3, when its election management software, which is widely used across the country, led to an unofficial...

The Republican primary between Reps. Rodney Davis and Mary Miller in Illinois' 15th District is emblematic of the choice GOP primary voters face: Trump-type hardliners who deny the validity of the 2020 election versus conservatives who voted to certify President Joe Biden's victory and supported a bipartisan investigation into the assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The race could also have lingering impacts on who oversees federal elections and the U.S. Capitol Police, a position that holds more weight after the Capitol riot.

Voters are heading to the polls for the Colorado primary Tuesday. With races all around the state, one with potentially widespread implications is taking place in Colorado’s Third Congressional District. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is trying to hold onto her seat. But keeping her office in Congress is not happening without a challenge. Her primary opponent, Republican State Senator Don Coram, touts himself as a legislator, not an instigator. “He’s respected pretty broadly within the Republican Party and even by many Democrats who’ve worked with him over the years. And he’s generally considered a...

Joe Biden called Hunter in December 2018 saying he wanted to talk to him after reading a New York Times story about Hunter's dealings with the Chinese oil giant CEFC Files on Hunter's abandoned laptop previously disclosed by DailyMail.com show that he struck a deal with the Chinese company worth millions of dollars The Times' 2018 story pointed out CEFC's chairman Ye Jianming had been arrested in China and his lieutenant Patrick Ho had been convicted of bribery Hunter accidentally recorded himself referring to Ho as the 'spy chief of China' After seeing the story online, Joe called Hunter and...

Earlier this month we found out that voting machines can do tricky things. The results of a Democratic primary in a Georgia county were challenged after a hand count found the machines to be off by thousands. Marshall Orson, a Democratic candidate for DeKalb County Commission, requested that the local elections board not certify the results as scheduled because there were “numerous issues” in the race (Kind of sounds like what Trump asked for after the 2020 election). The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Orson asked for a formal recount of the election and an “independent review.”. “There is no rational...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that when people try to get off fossil fuels before there is a replacement ready, “they wind up going back to even worse fossil fuels.” And that this has happened in the United States and President Joe Biden going to Saudi Arabia “hat in hand, begging them for oil” after vowing to reduce oil drilling is an example of that. After citing Biden’s pledge to end drilling on federal lands, Maher stated, “Let’s just talk about why these things really happen, it’s because people think that they can —...

The former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice hired to investigate President Joe Biden’s victory in the battleground state testified Thursday that he routinely deleted records, and deactivated a personal email account, even after receiving open records requests. Michael Gableman testified in a court hearing about whether the person who hired him, Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, should face penalties after earlier being found in contempt for how he handled the records requests from American Oversight. Dane County Circuit Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn did not say when she would rule in the case. Vos hired Gableman a year ago, under pressure from Donald...

"Drag queens make everything better. Drag queens are fun," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel gushed. "A drag queen for every school! That is what would be fine for a kid." "Drag storytellers, and the libraries and schools that support them, are advancing a love of diversity, personal expression, and literacy that is core to what our city embraces," New York City Mayor Eric Adams tweeted after a newspaper report that the city had spent over $200,000 on transgender strip shows and other drag acts in public venues, including schools and libraries. At 53 and 61, Dana Nessel and Eric Adams...

During Monday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich weighed in on Democrats reportedly questioning if President Joe Biden should run again in 2024. With former President Donald Trump’s decision about running in 2024 still looming, Gingrich said that “every week that goes by, Donald Trump’s presidency looks better.” He pointed to the record-high inflation, the border crisis and gas prices, saying people preferred Trump’s policies.

Time for some real talk. There are a lot of Republicans with doubts about President Trump running again in 2024, and you hear it often when conservatives gather together. They worry that him going Grover Cleveland could spoil a sure thing, but that’s not necessarily so. Whether you love Donald Trump, or whether you doubt him – if you hate him, shut up and go back to the Bulwark offices with the other losers – you need to look hard at the facts. We’re not progressives who let our feelz control us, and we must ruthlessly assess our own potential...

It’s understandable that Democrats would want to constantly revisit Jan. 6 — to invoke it, investigate it and sacralize it even. It’s a mystery, at least from a certain level of abstraction, why Republicans would want to have anything to do with that day or want to fixate on the 2020 election. The party is on the cusp of a midterm triumph, has enormous openings on the economy and education thanks to Biden administration stumbles and left-wing overreach, is making inroads among Hispanic voters and has a well-stocked political bench that Democrats should envy. Yet the GOP is stuck litigating...

Sometimes even Democrats have to pretend the United States is a nation. Nations, of course, have borders. And normal nations defend those borders. Except for the U.S., when Democrats want cheap votes and their friends in business, including Republicans, want cheap labor. We know what happens then. We’ve been living it for years. Borders? We don’t need no stinkin’ borders. Migrants, criminals, would-be terrorists, carriers of disease — it doesn’t matter who you are, bienvenidos, come on in. Except now, with miles of holes in the Border Wall That Trump Built, even Democrats are quietly reacting. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro...

Voters may not be sold on a Biden reelection bid in 2024, but Hillary Clinton insists she won’t seek the presidency after coming up short twice. Asked if she could imagine running again, she replied emphatically in the negative, deferring to President Biden. “No, out of the question,” Mrs. Clinton told the Financial Times in a Friday interview. “First of all, I expect Biden to run. He certainly intends to run. It would be very disruptive to challenge that.”
