New Poll Has the Delightful Cori Bush Down by 22 Points “Squad” member and US Rep. Cori Bush could lose big in this summer’s Democratic primary, according to a new poll. A new poll by GOP firm Remington Research finds Bush, (D-Missouri), losing by 22 points to rival Wesley Bell in the Aug. 6 contest. “It’s a big red flag for far-left Squad lawmakers,” Josh Kraushar, editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider, posted on X. “This data is yet another example why pandering to the left-wing radicalism on Israel in the Dem party is a counterproductive strategy for Biden.” https://nypost.com/2024/02/10/news/squad-member-cori-bush-losing-by-22-points-in-new-dem-primary-poll/ . -

America First is now Russia First

Did The Guardian properly paraphrase Trump here: "Donald Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack Nato allies who pay too little." I'm skeptical. Let's find the actual quote in the text of the article. On Saturday, Trump claimed that during an unspecified Nato meeting he told a fellow head of state that the US under his leadership would not defend any countries who were “delinquent”.“One of the presidents of a big country stood up and said, ‘Well, sir, if we don’t pay, and we’re attacked by Russia, will you protect us?’” Trump said, adding “I said, ‘You didn’t pay, you’re delinquent?’” “No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.” 1. It may have been said during a private meeting, but he's repeating it out loud, so Russia can hear it. 2. The statement, in context, is made to pressure the president of France to pay up, and, as the story is retold, it was in response to the French president, who revealed that he was counting on us to protect his country whether he paid or not. One might say, this is "art of the deal" back-and-forth, showing Trump is a tough negotiator, and who knows if he's bluffing? The point is, you don't want to find out. But, of course, it's a distressingly big-stakes bluff. That's how Trump does it. And we know that Trump got the payments. https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/02/did-guardian-properly-paraphrase-trump.html -
Shocker! DNC Wants a Federal Probe Into RFK Jr by M. Dowling Oh, what a shock. The DNC filed a complaint over RFK Jr.’s super PAC’s efforts to put him on state ballots. According to The New York Times, In a federal election complaint filed on Friday, the Democratic National Committee accused Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a super PAC backing his independent presidential bid of illegally coordinating on a $15 million petition drive intended to qualify him for the ballot in several states that could be crucial to President Biden’s re-election prospects. https://www.independentsentinel.com/shocker-dnc-opens-a-federal-probe-into-rfk-jr/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/09/us/politics/fec-complaint-rfk-jr.html#:~:text=In a federal election complaint,could be crucial to President .

Jack Smith, in Startling Move, Denounces Judge in Documents Case as ‘Wrong’ It turns out President Trump isn’t the only one who can unleash a tirade against a judge. Could Smith’s next move be a motion for Cannon to recuse herself? https://www.nysun.com/article/jack-smith-in-startling-move-denounces-judge-in-documents-case-as-wrong-and-a-perpetrator-of-manifest-injustice?

The Democrats' Kamala Harris Problem At the time of her selection, picking Harris wasn't hard for most people to explain at a quick glance since they are Democrats. She ticked most of the right boxes. She was female and Black with some experience in elected office. The only thing that would have made her perfect would have been if she was a lesbian, but you can't have everything in this world. Now, however, in light of current circumstances, some other factors merit consideration. Remember that even back during the 2020 Democratic primary, nobody wanted to see Harris in office, even among Democrats. She came in near the back of the pack in every primary, even in her home state. Even those Democrats who took her seriously complained about her record of "over-incarceration" and prosecutions in California. Now things are only worse. As McLaughlin notes, Kamala's approval ratings are actually worse than Biden's, a nearly historic feat in and of itself. And one of the top issues for voters this year, along with crime and inflation, is the disaster at the border. Who was supposed to be our "border czar?" Oh, that's right. Kamala. I'm not sure if Biden and his handlers had thought all of this through before he even took office. It seems unlikely. But if Kamala Harris truly was intended to be "25th Amendment insurance," it certainly seems to be working out well for them. But the people it's not working out well for at all are the rest of the Democrats. https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/02/10/the-democrats-kamala-harris-problem-n3782710

IDF Uncovers Secret Hamas Data Center Directly Beneath UNRWA's Gaza HQ We’ve known that Hamas operates in hospitals and schools in Gaza, despite their heated denials. We've also known about the extensive terror tunnel network under the Strip, where they store weapons, hide hostages, and plan attacks. But a new find by the Israel Defense Forces is even more troubling – Hamas has been operating a sophisticated data center directly beneath the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), complete with an electrical room, industrial battery power banks, and living quarters for Hamas terrorists overseeing the computer operations. This is far from the first time the UNRWA has come under scrutiny: However, the new discovery is sobering because, among other things, the facility was “built precisely under the location where Israel would not consider looking initially, let alone target in an airstrike.” https://redstate.com/bobhoge/2024/02/10/idf-uncovers-secret-hamas-data-center-directly-beneath-unrwas-gaza-hq-n2169928
