Original Article

Republican Iowa governor Kim Reynolds will endorse Florida governor Ron DeSantis for president, securing him some leverage in the state where he is currently behind former president Trump in polling and where the first caucus for the GOP 2024 nomination will be held. The planned endorsement will happen on Monday at a rally in Des Moines, sources close to both governors told NBC News. The DeSantis campaign has invested more resources and energy in the Hawkeye State. It solidified its first major ad buy there in October, setting aside $2 million worth of airtime starting in mid-November and running through the January 15 caucuses

If that’s the hill she has chosen to die on, she is welcome to it. Voters in and out of Iowa will view this as nothing but back stabbing.

Might want to check her family for off-shore accounts in the next couple years. Or she write a book that doesn't sell but she gets a big advance on it, etc. Follow the money. (Or extortion/blackmail)

Reynolds is generally good. This is an exception. So was her welcome to Afghan refugees.

She ticked off Trump a little while ago when she said she was neutral in the Iowa primary. Trump ripped her for that, reminding her that he endorsed her and held rallies for her. As a result, he no longer invites her to any of his events. I guess she doesn’t care about anything Trump says about her, so she’s getting back at Trump by endorsing De Santis, who is 27 points behind Trump in Iowa. It’s just a peeing contest between the two and of no consequence to anyone.

She'd be much better off just staying out of it. Seethe on the inside, but don't risk turning voters who are neutral to her into voters who want her gone. I really don't see what she thinks she's gaining.

This is a complete non issue for me. I don’t base my vote on the endorsement of anyone. I make my own decisions. I voted for Kim Reynolds and I’ll vote for her again. She has done a good job as governor. She and the Iowa Legislature passed a law back during the Covid BS that all employers had to offer a medical or religious exemption. My employer is affiliated with the Mayo Health System. They were pushing the shot pretty hard. I was asked by my manager what I would do if I didn’t get the exemption. I just told him that I was planning on getting the exemption. I got the exemption and I’m unvaccinated to this day. I work with a nurse that has been vaccinated since the beginning and had every booster. She’s had Covid 5 times. I haven’t had it at all. Kim Reynolds said Iowa would not be accepting any illegals from the border. Strangely, there were no protests about her decision. I think they knew she would deliver them to their front door. I’ve voted for Donald Trump twice and will vote for him again. I just wish he didn’t feel the need to battle everyone. Sometimes the best thing to say is nothing. He could just let it go.

According to a statement by the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, the man was struck in the head with a megaphone held by one of the protesters and died of his wounds on Monday. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has confirmed that the man’s name is Paul Kessler. A Jewish security official confirmed the account of how he died.

News surfaced over the weekend that a daycare center in Germany would be removing Anne Frank's name at the behest of "parents with migrant backgrounds." Frank is, of course, one of the most well-known victims of the Holocaust, and her diary is considered to be an important documentation of the plight of European Jews during World War II. The "Anne Frank" daycare center in Tangerhütte, Germany, which has reportedly been in operation for decades, will be getting the name change because, according to the daycare center's director, "parents with migrant backgrounds feel uncertain about the name and find it challenging to explain to their children."

During a portion of an interview with ABC News aired on Monday’s broadcast of “World News Tonight,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged host David Muir to avoid taking civilian death toll numbers issued by the Hamas-run Gazan health ministry at face value because they include Hamas terrorists. Muir asked, “I know you said you’re doing everything you can to minimize civilian casualties. Obviously, the world saw the horror in Israel, the 1,400 brutally killed in that terror attack. We were on the ground for several days, as you know. But the world has now also seen the toll in Gaza. The health ministry run by Hamas now says 10,000 Palestinian

Donald Trump is testifying today in the fraud case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The presiding judge has already held Trump liable. Trump’s testimony is going about as you would expect: Donald Trump’s courtroom decorum has began to break down as the former president began yelling and attacking the judge and the attorney general from the witness stand. Trump had been testifying for the past roughly two hours in hushed tones until he became visibly agitated, speaking loudly saying that the Justice Arthur Engoron and New York Attorney General Letitia James were “trying to hurt” him.

Between Sunday and Monday, the major broadcast networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC used their flagship morning and evening newscasts to start a new week of anti-Israel smears and siding with Hamas terrorists as Tuesday marks one month since the latter’s animalistic barbarism murdered at least 1,400 innocents and resulted in over 200 hostages. This time, the networks argued the world’s “recoiling in horror” at Israel’s ‘search and destroy mission” that’s “shattering...lives” in Gaza and Israel remaining still “not” being in a “mood to compromise” with Hamas. CBS foreign correspondent Debora Patta deserved a stipend from Hamas after her lead-off report on Monday’s CBS Mornings.

A pro-Palestinian protest group numbering between 100 and 300 gathered this morning at the Port of Tacoma in an attempt to prevent the loading and departure of a US military vessel believed to be heading for Israel. They’re picketing at Terminal 7, where they have blocked gates and lanes of traffic. They’re trying to delay the US military supply ship Cape Orlando that’s bound for Israel. “Confidential sources say that the vessel will be loaded with weapons and military equipment in Tacoma, with a final destination in Israel,” a news release from the Arab Resource & Organizing Center (AROC) said.

United States military officials announced Sunday they had sent a guided missile submarine to the Middle East as the Israel-Hamas war reaches the one-month mark — even releasing a rare photo of the powerful vessel. “On November 5, 2023, an Ohio-class submarine arrived in the US Central Command area of responsibility,” US Central Command posted on X. The post included a photo of the Ohio-class submarine apparently traversing the Suez Canal, just north of Cairo. The submarine can carry 154 Tomahawk missiles, each of which can hold up to 1,000 pounds of explosives in their warheads, according to Stars and Stripes. CENTCOM’s announcement Sunday night came just hours after Iranian

At least 45 Americans claim to have been injured in recent attacks in Iraq and Syria, more than twice as many as the Pentagon previously disclosed, according to a new report. The Pentagon initially claimed that 21 service members suffered traumatic brain injuries as a result of two drone attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia, but an additional 24 troops have since reported such injuries, NBC reported Monday, bringing the total number of injured troops to 45. That number may rise as more troops come forward. NBC News has tallied at least 38 separate attacks on bases housing U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq since October 17,

Progressives are demanding that the Democratic Party shift its position on Israel, and President Joe Biden is listening. From college campuses across the country to the halls of Congress, the far Left is moving away from Israel in its war with Hamas. As a result, Biden sees his base of support decreasing. In a struggle between consistency and the presidency, Biden’s past offers little comfort to Israel and its allies. On Oct. 7, Biden’s first words in response to Hamas’s attack on Israel were clear: “Today, the people of Israel are under attack, orchestrated by a terrorist organization, Hamas.

NEW YORK — Away from cameras and under oath, former President Trump exploded repeatedly while prosecutors grilled him Monday about how his company calculated his net worth and tabulated his assets as it sought hundreds of millions of dollars in loans. The 2024 Republican presidential front-runner is accused of fraudulently inflating his property values to get better terms on loans and insurance. He is the last person charged in the case to testify. His daughter, Ivanka Trump, who is expected to testify Wednesday, is not a party in the case. Wearing a dark blue suit and a bright blue tie, Trump was sworn in before a packed courtroom of journalists

There's been a disturbing rise in antisemitism since the start of the Israeli-Hamas war. We've seen the evidence of it from the radical rallies chanting "From the river to the sea" to the ripping down of signs for kidnapped Jewish victims of Hamas. We've covered multiple examples here at RedState just over the past couple of days. There were the anti-Israel marchers who stormed the front of a Jewish store, and police had to get in between them and the signs of the kidnapped Israelis they wanted to rip down that were on a pole in front of the store.

There are certain American politicians you can depend on nearly 100% of the time to side with America's rivals, enemies, and even terrorists. Hamas-loving congresscritter Rashida Tlain (D-Mich.) is probably the most notorious example. That's why I might have been briefly taken aback — but hardly surprised — when on Friday she posted a 90-second spot sporting Hamas's genocidal slogan "from the river to the sea." That's a nifty code for "the elimination of Israel and every Jew we can find." It's all in the Hamas charter which, you can be sure, Tlaib knows front, back, and bloody center. Then she accused the Biden administration of supporting Israeli "genocide"

Barack Obama is not a learned man, but it’s a mistake to confuse that with stupidity. He is, in fact, an extremely clever man. Combine that cleverness with the fact that he truly dislikes Israel and has aligned himself with those countries and groups that wish to destroy the country, complete with the genocide of all of its inhabitants, and you end up with someone who covertly signals to Israel’s enemies his ideological allegiance with them, even while seemingly treading a morally meaningless line right down the middle. Those of us who have paid close attention to Obama over the years know that he dislikes Jews and Israel. Here

London has become ground zero for some of the most disturbing pro-Hamas demonstrations in the world following the attacks on October 7th in Israel, and things just got a lot more chilling. As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, desecrating and damaging them. In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage. Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades.

CHICAGO — Sophee Langerman was on her way to a bicycle safety rally in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood in June when a car turning right rolled through a red light and slammed into her bike, which she was walking off the curb and into the crosswalk. The car was moving slowly enough that Langerman escaped serious injury, but the bicycle required extensive repairs.
