Russian Collusion 2.0 seems to be taking shape.

 

The ‘Russia Collusion’ Reboot Is Going To Be Terrible

 

If Democrats had common decency, they would cook up a fresh conspiracy theory for us in 2024, because, really, the prospect of reliving the same hysterics over Russia for another year—or four—is just depressing. Yet Russia collusion fanfic is on the uptick as the 2024 presidential election approaches. The reboot features many of the same characters—Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and so on—who are already scaremongering about Putin’s influence on the GOP.

AOC heckled in fiery town hall:  'All you care about is illegal aliens'

 

A town hall hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. touting the apparent benefits of the Green New Deal ended up turning some attendees red with anger on Thursday.

The socialist lawmaker was speaking at an event in Queens in New York Citywhere she was heckled by two attendees who accused her of caring more about illegal immigrants than those whom she was elected to represent.  One of the hecklers, Jonathan David Rinaldi, said he is challenging Ocasio-Cortez for her congressional seat.  [...]

The Curious Case of Nikki Haley

 

[...] Today, we are witnessing the equally curious transformation of a politician from a once reliable Republican conservative to a radical Democrat who seems intent on killing her own presidential political career in the crib.  I am talking, of course, about Nikki Haley.  [...]

I heard Gavin Newsome call Haley a Dem surrogate....and he is right.  She is just another establishment anti-Trumper driven by hate for the man who had the US on the right track.  Every day she remains in the race gives more aid to Biden and his invasion.  Her pitiful performance in her own state was boosted by dem voters who know that Trump is going to crush a 2nd Biden term in office.  Even if Trump was unable to run, she would not be the Republican candidate.  That is a fact!!  There are several others who reflect Trump policy making much, much more than she.  She is on a self-destruct mission.

Haley seems to be an establishment hack more than likely in league with the Lincoln Project enablers.  I heard talk of her moving to the "No Labels" party as a backstop to her failed campaign.  Overall, she seems to be in lock-step with the DC Establishment, so it would seem she is intent on destroying Trump.

She seems to be OK with burning a bridge with a vast majority of those who vote red. I don't see anything positive for her by continuing to run.

And yet the last poll I saw had her beating Joe Biden by 16 percentage points!! in a comparative matchup. Meanwhile DJT only held a 2 point advantage.

 

There may come a day when the GOP asks itself whether it was wants to get at least some of what it wants, or risk getting nothing, even if Trump is reelected.

National polling is irrelevant, and the MSM knows it. Trump leads by a substantial margin in statewide balloting.....and in all the swing states (last poll I saw).  The ONLY hope of Haley running in the general election is if she is on the "no labels" ticket.....but she will not be the Republican candidate, she will not be the Vice President, and she will not be President.  The Koch brothers have now realized that.   Haley is an anti-Trumper...which alienates a vast majority of red voters.

Imo, way too many voters mark their ballots based on personality rather than policy.  Trump's mean tweets haven't hurt me a bit.....but Biden's policies have taken money out of my pocket and the pockets of my family....as well as the pockets of future generations.  Everything from his domestic policies to his international policies have hurt.  

And another thing (I should start a newspaper column with that name), CNN, MSNBC, etc secretly want Trump to win...because he is good for their businesses.

Kind of meaningless at this point.  If Haley was the leading candidate on the GOP side, the MSM would be hammering her as the next coming of Hitler.  She gets a lot of MSM love right now simply because she is speaking out against Trump.  Trump himself was loved by the MSM until he threatened the Democrat DC Establishment.  Heck, John McCain was also a media darling when he was playing his maverick character, but run for President, all bets are off.

Biden Brags He Could Let Migrants Shoot Someone On Fifth Avenue And Not Lose Any Votes

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — With Democrats nervous that Biden's handling of immigration and the border could cost them the election, President Biden defiantly boasted to a small crowd of supporters that he could let illegal migrants shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes.

"Listen, folks, it's nothing to worry about.  I just imported, 8 million, 80 thousand, trillion-billion, 80 million, thousand new voters from across the southern border," said Biden.  [...]

Facing Low Approval, Biden Promises To Start Pretending To Care About The Border

 

BROWNSVILLE, TX — With his approval hovering near record lows, President Biden made a trip to the Southern Border today and promised to begin pretending to care about it.

"Listen folks, here's the deal.  I don't care about the border," said the President to a Border Patrol horse he mistook for an agent.  "But as I stand here today, I vow to begin pretending to care.  I will do this until my approval numbers go up a few points.  [...]

The 2024 Election Will Be Neither Free Nor Fair

 

There is nothing normal about the presidential election of 2024—nor should we attempt to normalize it, because the Democrats' behavior has been a tragedy for American democracy.  As Matt Taibbi put it in an outstanding article analyzing recent moves from the Democrats, the "2024 presidential race increasingly looks like it will be decided by lawyers, not voters, as Democrats unveil plans for America's first lawfare election."

 

If anything, Taibbi understates the case.  [...]
