In separate pleadings, Black Knight and Intercontinental Exchange asked a federal court judge to declare the Federal Trade Commission's structure unconstitutional. The filings, both made on April 25, were in response to the FTC seeking an injunction against their merger in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. Now, both Black Knight and Intercontinental Exchange, are seeking their own injunctive relief against the FTC. These latest pleadings make similar separation of power arguments that were included in their responses made on March 20 to the FTC's filing for an administrative hearing to quash the...

Never Trumper and Utah independent Senate candidate Evan McMullin in 2021 called for Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue’s (R-GA) ouster during the 2021 Georgia special election, which gave Democrats the Senate majority. “On Tuesday, principled conservatives in Georgia should vote Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue out of office. With few exceptions, the GOP has become a ruinous, unpatriotic blight and both senators are as corrupt as they come. The republic cannot sustain such depravity indefinitely,” McMullin wrote ahead of the Georgia special election.

“They are willing to kill people à la Kelly Loeffler’s aide in Georgia, who was suddenly blown up in his car on the way to a rally for her. He happened to be dating Governor Kemp’s daughter. Governor Kemp was considering, I think, at that point a signature audit,” Powell said. She continued, “And then the Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent, who was investigating that—he was suddenly dead within a week of that. And we don’t hear anything about that?” she asked.

Sidney Powell says Kelly Loeffler’s young staffer (who was dating Gov. Kemp’s daughter) was MURDERED and was likely “vaporized” by thermite. WOW! (Video)

First, WNBA players campaigned to oust Atlanta Dream co-owner Kelly Loeffler from her seat in the Senate. Now, after months of pressure from players who said Loeffler’s values didn’t fit with the WNBA’s, Loeffler is out of the league, too. The WNBA announced Friday that Loeffler and co-owner Mary Brock sold the team to a three-person investor group that includes former Dream star Renee Montgomery. Larry Gottesdiener, chairman of real estate firm Northland, and Suzanne Abair, Northland’s chief operating officer, also will share ownership of the team. The WNBA’s and NBA’s boards of governors unanimously approved the sale, the league...

Kelly Loeffler's ownership of the Atlanta Dream has proven extremely controversial in recent months. Loeffler, a former Republican senator from Georgia, has publicly opposed the Black Lives Matter movement and called for the depoliticization of sports. The WNBA, almost inarguably the most socially active professional sports league, has vehemently fought against Loeffler on both fronts, even campaigning for her opponent in the Georgia senate race, Reverend Raphael Warnock. The league has fought tooth and nail to convince her to sell the team, but in the past, she had refused to do so. But now that she has lost her senate...

GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler has ditched her plans to object to President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral win, citing the violent break-in of the Capitol by rioters supporting President Donald Trump. "When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes," the Georgia Republican said. "However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors."

Loeffler does not concede in a brief speech on election night, says she has a path to victory and promises "we're going to get this done." #GASenateRaces

Democrat Raphael Warnock edged ahead of incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler in one of Georgia’s two Senate runoffs on Tuesday, lifting the party’s hopes for retaking the chamber from the GOP. Late Tuesday night, Newsmax and partner Decision HQ made the call for Warnock. Jon Ossoff, the Democrat seeking to unseat Sen. David Perdue, picked up more than 112,000 votes from DeKalb County outside Atlanta, narrowing the incumbent’s lead to about 3,000 votes. About 95% of the vote had been counted. The two Georgia runoff races will determine control of the U.S. Senate and the fate of President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda...

Trump sounds the alarm — Dominion machines malfunction in Georgia todayReports are coming out of the 12th Congressional District of Georgia that Dominion Machines are not working in certain Republican Strongholds for over an hour.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) announced on Monday that she will object to electoral college votes when lawmakers gather for a joint session in Congress on Jan. 6. “Elections are the bedrock of our democracy and the American people deserve to be 100% confident in our election system and its outcomes. But right now, tens of millions of Americans have real concerns about the way in which the November Presidential election was conducted—and I share their concerns,” she said in a statement. “The American people deserve a platform in Congress, permitted under the Constitution, to have election issues presented so that...

Bret Baier repeatedly asks Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) whether she'd have voted last week to override Trump's veto of the NDAA. She doesn't answer directly. Baier: "I won't belabor it but that's not a yes or no ..." Sen. Loeffler: "That's right." Video...

Via Mediaite, have a look below at the very special present that was left under the GOP’s tree on Christmas morning.Seems to me that we’ll get a (relatively) good result from Georgia regardless of whether Republican voters take Wood’s advice or ignore it.Wood would have you believe that some sort of “algorithm” inside Dominion’s machines is subtracting Republican votes and adding Democratic ones. How can he and Sidney Powell prove that? Simple: All Republicans need to do is mass-boycott the Senate election on January 5, tricking the algorithm into producing impossible “negative” vote totals for Republicans in heavily Democratic areas....

One of the nation’s more accurate pollsters is bullish on Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s chances to win her runoff race against Raphael Warnock but less confident that Sen. David Perdue will best Jon Ossoff. “We see the Warnock-Loeffler race as one that will be less close. We feel more confident that Loeffler is going to probably prevail,” Robert Cahaly, the chief pollster for the Trafalgar Group, told the Washington Examiner. “We feel more confident that the other one is going to be closer.” Trafalgar’s most recent polls in Georgia show two different races developing, with Loeffler leading Warnock by almost 7...

Tuesday, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough accused Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) of stealing the primary election for her seat from Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA). The “Morning Joe” host referenced President Donald Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell’s claims that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) were involved in keeping Loeffler in her seat, and said Loeffler “stole the election” and “cheated” her way into the runoff against Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock. He urged Georgia Republicans to remember this as they go vote in the January 5 runoff.

A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO STOP THE SENATE STEAL IN GEORGIAThis challenge concerns a very nebulous statement by the United States Supreme Court, as to whether “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote for federal Senate seats. The Supreme Court specifically dodged this issue in 2013, and it’s time a Georgia litigant brought it back to them, and fast. If a federal court were to hold that “voter registration” is a “qualification” to vote, then, according to Georgia law, only voters who were registered to vote in the general election this past November could vote in the runoffs. The Seventeenth Amendment...

It was once said of a famously vulnerable Senate candidate that, with respect to the opposition research that could be used against her in a campaign, “there’s a haystack of needles.” In other words, there was a wealth of material. This appears to be the case as well with Raphael Warnock, the candidate around whom Democratic voters consolidated during the Nov. 3 special Senate election in Georgia. We have written previously on the problems Warnock faced due to his warm feelings for Fidel Castro and his anti-Israel, pro-terrorist radicalism. We have mentioned his warm embrace of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright...

The appraised value of Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler and her husband’s Atlanta mansion, known as ‘Descante’, dropped suddenly – and mysteriously - by more than $6 million in 2016, saving the couple tens of thousands of dollars in taxes every year since, according to the Daily Beast. Loeffler and her New York Stock Exchange CEO husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, bought the 15,000-square-foot mansion for $10.5 million in 2009, making it the most expensive private home purchase in the city’s history at the time. The property held its value steady for the next seven years, based on appraisals conducted by the Fulton...
