Carville: ‘Trump Will Underperform Expectations
in Iowa’
Posted By: Dreadnought, 1/10/2024 12:06:53 AM
Democratic consultant and political commentator James Carville said Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360″ that former President Donald Trump will underperform” with voters in Iowa. Carville said, “Moderates, do they show up? If so, it probably helps Haley. More than 60,000 moved to the Des Moines suburbs since the 2016 race. Right? They’re not all Republicans. But do those that are Republicans show up? What will we see the suburbs around Cedar Falls, around Dubuque? The flip side is across the top up here, across the bottom down here, those are the evangelical rural counties that Ted Cruz beat Donald Trump in 2016. Trump is expected to run it up there.

The US and UK militaries launched strikes against multiple Houthi targets in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Thursday, marking a significant response after the Biden administration and its allies warned that the Iran-backed militant group would bear the consequences of repeated drone and missile attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
President Joe Biden said he ordered the strikes “in direct response to unprecedented Houthi attacks against international maritime vessels in the Red Sea.”
“Today, at my direction, U.S. military forces—together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada, and the Netherlands—successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen
Harvard University students filed a lawsuit against university officials on Wednesday, claiming they have failed to protect Jewish students from “severe and pervasive” antisemitic harassment sparked by the Israel-Hama war.
In a 79-page federal civil complaint, six Harvard graduate and law students who are members of Students Against Antisemitism say the university “has become a bastion of rampant anti-Jewish hatred and harassment.”
The suit says pro-Palestinian protests on campus have been rife with “vile” bigotry against Jews and Israel.

A United Airlines flight from Sarasota, Florida, made an emergency landing at the next-closest airport after an “open door” indicator light illuminated Wednesday, less than a week after the shocking mid-flight Alaska Airlines door plug blow-out.
United Flight 2434 was heading to Chicago when the light came on, causing the pilots to alert dispatchers and reroute the plane to Tampa, according to a spokesperson for the airport. The plane departed Sarasota/Bradenton International Airport at 3:42 p.m. and was diverted to Tampa International Airport, where it landed safely at 4:35 p.m., according to flight tracking website Flight Aware.

speech on tense final day of New York
civil fraud trial 9 replies
NEW YORK — Barred from giving a formal closing argument, Donald Trump still seized an opportunity to speak in court at the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial Thursday, unleashing a barrage of attacks in a six-minute diatribe before being cut off by the judge.
Trump spoke as the judge was trying to find out if the former president would follow rules requiring him to keep his remarks focused on matters related to the trial. Asked whether he would comply with the guidelines, Trump defied the judge and simply launched into his speech.
“We have a situation where I am an innocent man,” Trump protested.
Sigh. Does the left ever get tired of finger-pointing? Not a day goes by without a self-appointed justice warrior either screaming at or whining about some perceived wrong against a leftist person or group. Leftists' beliefs are so radical that no action against them is necessary for them to feel victimized. You can offend the left simply by existing.
The Johns Hopkins University DEI office, led by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, demonstrated a perfect example of this type of delusion. Golden, who is African American, sent an email out earlier this month to employees of the university. End Wokeness posted a screenshot of the email on X.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced an investigation into Boeing after an Alaska Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing when a door plug fell off the fuselage midair.
“This incident should have never happened and it cannot happen again,” the FAA said in a statement Thursday. The administration said it notified Boeing of its investigation, which will look into whether Boeing “failed to ensure completed products conformed to its approved design and were in a condition for safe operation in compliance with FAA regulations.” “This investigation is a result of an incident on a Boeing Model 737-9 MAX where it lost a ‘plug’ type passenger door and additional discrepancies,”
The World Bank's private investment arm has mobilised nearly $1 billion to rebuild Ukraine's private sector and is shifting its broader investment focus towards equity, its managing director told Reuters.
Around $620 million of the funds mobilised for Ukraine - part of a $2 billion package announced in December 2022 - are from the investment arm's own balance sheet and another $360 million from external financing, said Makhtar Diop, managing director of the International Finance Corp (IFC). But the path ahead is not without its challenges.
"First of all we need to continue to monitor how the political situation evolves and there are some concerns,"
TOPLINE U.S. and European government officials have poorly tracked military aid for Ukraine worth more than $1 billion, creating concerns the weapons have been stolen, according to a Defense Department report released Thursday, amid contested efforts by American lawmakers to provide additional funding for Ukraine’s war against Russia. KEY FACTS
Just over $1 billion of the estimated $1.69 billion worth of weapons sent to Ukraine are considered “delinquent,” which was likely caused by “an inability to maintain complete accountability” of the inventory in government databases, according to a redacted report by the Defense Department’s inspector general Thursday.
One of sports’ most iconic coaching tenures is over. The Patriots and Bill Belichick will part ways on Thursday, ESPN.com reported.
Rumors had swirled around Belichick’s future all season as the Patriots finished with a 4-13 record and missed the playoffs for the third time in four seasons.
He’s enjoyed little success without Tom Brady, and is now without a job. Belichick, widely regarded as one of the best coaches of all time, if not the best, led the Patriots for 24 years, famously winning six Super Bowls with the team.
It caps a wild 24 hours that also saw legendary Alabama coach Nick Saban retire.
Belichick owned a 266-121 overall record
San Francisco Unified School District administrators instructed high-school teachers to engage in classroom discussions about the Israel-Hamas war using an educational resource that argues, “Israeli terrorism has been significantly worse than that of the Palestinians,” according to memos obtained by a parental-rights watchdog group and shared exclusively with with National Review.
In memos to social-studies and ethnic-studies departments, discovered by Parents Defending Education, the district provided teachers with a host of resources to help lead classroom discussions on “war, terrorism, colonization, and seeking peace.” The first of the listed resources, Teach Mideast, promotes multiple anti-Zionist articles and viewpoints

Former president Donald Trump vowed during his Fox News town hall on Wednesday night to create the “largest deportation effort in the history of our country” if he is reelected in November, saying “we have no choice.”
Trump, the leading contender for the Republican nomination, said that as many as 18 million people will have entered the country illegally by the end of Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency, a number that he said is “not sustainable for our country.”
“Many of those people come from jails and prisons, many of those people come from mental institutions and insane asylums, and many of those people are terrorists,” he said, taking another big
During a town hall on the Fox News Channel on Wednesday, 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump responded to a question on him blaming abortion for some Republican election losses and criticism of heartbeat laws by stating that he has to have life of the mother, rape, and incest exemptions, but beyond that “I want to get something where people are happy.” And “we’re going to come up with something that people want and people like.” And he thinks that rival 2024 Republican candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ abortion position might have been the reason for him sliding in the polls because “if you talk

Now that Claudine Gay is out as president at Harvard after a plagiarism scandal, will Barack Obama become the university's next president?
Here's what's being bruited about in the media, according to the Daily Mail:
Barack Obama has been touted as a contender for the next president of Harvard after the resignation by Claudine Gay due to an anti-Semitism and plagiarism scandal.
The former president, who graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991, may be a candidate for the position - and he wouldn't be the first ex-POTUS to take charge of an elite college.
Jill Biden slammed the 'horrible' House Republicans for showing nude photographs of Hunter Biden in their hearings and said what they are doing to her son is 'cruel.'
'What they are doing to Hunter is cruel, and I'm really proud of how he has rebuilt his life after addiction. I love my son. It's hurt my grandchildren. That's what I’m so concerned about, that it's affecting their lives as well,' the first lady said in an interview that aired on Morning Joe on Thursday.
Biden sat down with MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski to discuss the 2024 presidential campaign and her work as first lady. She defended her family during the conversation and
St. Paul, Minnesota, seated four new City Council members on Tuesday, and now has an entirely female slate of Council members.
Additionally, all seven women are under age 40, and six of the seven are women of color.
Anika Bowie, Saura Jost, Hwa Jeong Kim and Cheniqua Johnson became the Council's newest members. Rebecca Noecker, Mitra Jalali and Nelsie Yang all won reelection in their districts. All seven members are Democrats but ran on a nonpartisan ballot.
Prior to Tuesday, two of the seven council members were male.
St. Paul uses ranked-choice voting, meaning voters must rank their preferred candidates.
During an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday, Biden 2024 Campaign Co-Chair Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) said that President Joe Biden “has delivered for the American people in such a way that nobody seems to grasp.” And that Biden “can be a greater President when we get people to understand all of what he has done rather than to listen to all of the garbage, the disinformation that’s going on out there and look at the facts and stop listening to all of this tweeting and stuff that’s going on out there that’s not good for the American people.”
Clyburn said, “All the facts and figures are
Not only is Anthony Fauci a shameless flip-flopper, but he’s an extremely sloppy one at that—why are these criminals in politics (pardon the redundancy) so incapable of covering their tracks? How does a man like Peter Strzok, who spent a career as an investigative agent, put something as incriminating as “we’ll stop” a Trump presidency into writing, on a government-issued cell phone? How does Hunter Biden leave the “Laptop from Hell,” containing graphic evidence of criminal activity, with some civilian computer repair store man? How does Fauci “confess” to Capitol Hill lawmakers that the six-foot social distancing guidance “sort of just appeared” out of the ether,
Police officers are urging Canadians not to publicly share home security footage of porch pirate mail thieves, claiming it could be a violation of their privacy rights and defamatory. Quebec provincial police (SQ) communications officer Lt. Benoit Richard told citizens “You cannot post the images yourself because you have to remember, in Canada, we have a presumption of innocence.”
Instead, Richard suggested calling 911 if anything was stolen.
“We’ll do the investigation, bring that person to justice and file some charges,” he added.
A defence chief has hit out after Prince Harry beat history-making British astronaut Tim Peake to be named a 'Legend of Aviation' for his work flying an Army helicopter in Afghanistan. [Snip] The Duke bagged the award despite only ever being 'number two' in his helicopter, acting as a gunner in Afghanistan--with his gong success today branded a 'pathetic' publicity stunt by Lord Alan West, the former head of the Royal Navy. [Snip] Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp also lashed out, claiming the awards were about 'celebrities massaging each other's egos'.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday suspended his campaign for president.
"It’s clear to me tonight that there isn’t a path for me to win the nomination. Which is why I’m suspending my campaign tonight for President of the United States," Christie said at a town hall event in Windham, New Hampshire.
Christie, a long shot for the nomination in a race dominated by former President Donald Trump, in recent weeks had faced increased calls from fellow Republicans and from some voters to end his bid to give rival Nikki Haley a boost as she aims to close the gap with Trump.
Johns Hopkins Hospital has sparked outrage after its DEI chief sent out a letter labeling all white people, Christians, men and English-speakers as 'privileged'.
The letter, posted on Twitter by End Wokeness, was written by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, was part of the 'monthly diversity digest'.
A furious hospital employee shared the memo with the Twitter account. In it, Dr. Hill explains that 'privilege' is the 'diversity word of the month'.
To explain who the phrase applies to, she offered a list. It reads: 'Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it.

X CEO Elon Musk is taking a public stand for stricter U.S. voting laws, calling for mandatory in-person voting requiring identification across all 50 states in multiple comments on his social media site.
The tech mogul has recently made multiple posts on the matter, writing on Monday that it is “insane” to be able to vote without providing official identification.
“In the USA, you don’t need [a] government-issued ID to vote, and you can mail in your ballot,” he wrote. “This is insane.” (X) After being questioned on what could be done to fix the insanity, Musk said voting should work like purchasing alcohol.
“We should require government ID and
