Why Is Nikki Haley Still in the Race?
Posted By: Moritz55, 1/27/2024 11:32:00 AM
By now, former South Carolina Gov. and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley surely knows she will not be the Republican nominee for president. Having lost in New Hampshire by double digits and trailing Trump by 30 points in her home state, according to the RealClearPolitics average — to say nothing of the fact that the bulk of South Carolina’s Republican powerbrokers are backing the former president — Haley must be aware that victory by conventional means is not only virtually impossible, it is simply outside the realm of reason.

President Biden must hope that America has forgotten former President Reagan’s famous question about the economy. The reason? Because economically, Americans fare worse and worse under Biden. This is not the product of exaggeration; instead, it’s the product of inflation and expectation.
In his only debate with then-President Carter in 1980, Reagan asked America a simple question: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” Elegant simplicity itself, the question distilled the complexities of economics to their essential kernel: How’re you doing?
House Republicans unveiled articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Sunday. The articles, introduced by Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., accuse Mayorkas of "Willfull and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust."
"Throughout his tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N. Mayorkas has repeatedly violated laws enacted by Congress regarding immigration and border security. In large part because of his unlawful conduct, millions of aliens have illegally entered the United States on an annual basis with many unlawfully remaining in the United States. His refusal to obey the law is not only an offense against the separation of powers in the Constitution
I’ll put it bluntly: Joe Biden is a failed president. He clearly had an opportunity to position himself to do bigger things, but he overlooked or missed that opportunity altogether. Instead, Biden chose to highlight two issues — climate and equity — but could not deliver on them, and throughout his presidency, he has shepherded an administration with an overarching theme of division. In short, Biden hasn’t provided the American people with sound reasons to stay the course beyond his demonizing Donald Trump, the likely Republican to challenge him again.

Is the Electoral Fix Already In?
8 replies
The fix is in. To “protect democracy,” democracy is already being canceled. We just haven’t admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet.
On Sunday, January 14th, NBC News ran an eye-catching story: “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” It described “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” that is “quietly” making plans to “foil any efforts to expand presidential power” on the part of Donald Trump.
The piece quoted an array of former high-ranking officials, all insisting Trump will misuse the Department of Defense to execute civilian political aims. Since Joe Biden’s team “leaked” a strategy memo
Terrors of the Michelle Obama Prophecy
15 replies
The world is not just about snuggling with housebroken puppies and rainbows out your window and riding unicorns bareback. The real world can be terrifying. Just ask former First Lady Michelle Obama.
She’s trembling with terror like a princess in a fairy tale being chased by Baba Yaga. And this terror of hers has infected the American news media with even more terror. Which brings us to the Michelle Obama Prophecy.
First, please understand that Michelle is terribly afraid that former President Donald Trump will recapture the White House.
Not many people in the national press were paying attention to the Democratic presidential primary results in West Virginia on May 8, 2012. Barack Obama was the incumbent president, and few outside local press noticed that Keith Russell Judd, a Texas convict sitting in a federal prison for extortion, had sent in the proper paperwork and paid the $2,500 filing fee necessary to be on the ballot.
Even had they paid attention, chances are no one expected him to have an impact. Yet he won a whopping 41% of the vote in West Virginia’s Democratic primary, earning 72,000 votes to Obama’s 106,000.
While Nelson did not win, his impact was lost because
Nikki Haley’s Strategies?
13 replies
Nikki Haley just lost the New Hampshire primary by 11 percent.
She had earlier come in third in the recent Iowa caucuses behind Ron DeSantis. But DeSantis, not she, dropped out of the race. He then endorsed front-runner Donald Trump. By contrast, Haley confidently announced that at last there was a two-person, head-to-head race. So she confidently headed to New Hampshire.
Her subtext was that if she did not win the upcoming two-person primaries, she would come in “second” rather than “last.” Her supporters outspent all the candidates in Iowa and would do so again in New Hampshire.
It’s Almost Morning in America
3 replies
It might not seem like it right now, but it’s almost morning in America again.
Americans of all sides are waking up. Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are uniting around shared concerns.
Big city mothers aiming to rescue their children from failing schools and suburban moms losing their kids to woke educators are both waking up to the broken education system, where administrators get bigger and bigger salaries while kids suffer.
Meanwhile, both “granola” foodies and conservative farmers are becoming aware of the broken food system, where small farmers struggle, and it’s impossible to ban chemicals we know harm our kids. Despite citizens trying to effect change, their efforts are in vain
After three years of her chaos, countless reboots, and word salads, Americans in 2024 face the choice of whether Vice President Kamala Harris deserves another four years – and maybe not just as vice president. For the first time in recent history, there’s a real possibility that 81-year-old President Joe Biden, the oldest president to ever hold the job, might not make it through a second term if re-elected. That’s right. Kamala Harris might be your next president — without ever running a successful presidential campaign on her own.
If there is anything the establishment likes more than a tight horse-race and a David and Goliath duel of a long-shot candidate posing a threat to an undisputed favorite, it’s a story taking a good hard shot at Donald Trump. From these wishes was born the fantasy of a serious Republican challenge to the former president. But that fantasy is about to get another cold splash of reality.
The first dousing came in Iowa. But even after Trump’s besting his opposition by about 30 points or better, some continue to wonder whether the nomination contest is over.
Without wishful thinking or some peculiar break from normal politics, the nomination

majority: sources 6 replies
The former House Select Committee on Jan. 6 deleted more than 100 encrypted files from its probe just days before Republicans took over the majority in the House of Representatives, Fox News Digital has learned. The House Administration Committee's Oversight Subcommittee is leading an investigation into Jan. 6, 2021, led by Chairman Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga. The panel is investigating the security failures on that day, as well as the "actions" of the former select committee investigating the Capitol riot.

Requirement for Recruits — What Could
Possibly Go Wrong? 37 replies
No Diploma? No Problem! The U.S. Navy has again lowered enlistment requirements as it struggles to meet self-inflicted recruiting goals. We'll get to the latter in a bit. Spoiler: Perhaps Navy brass should have dropped Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals instead.As reported by Navy Times on Friday, America's naval force will now allow those without a high school diploma to enlist as long as they score a 50 or higher on the Armed Forces Qualification Test that all prospects must take. Those without a General Educational Development (GED) will also be allowed to enlist if they hit the test threshold, according to the Chief of Naval Personnel’s office.
Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday, saying it was not an honest broker in the party’s 2024 primary race.
In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Haley, the last remaining major GOP opponent to former President Donald Trump, said the RNC was “clearly not” playing fairly. “Do you think the RNC has been an honest broker in this case?” moderator Kristen Welker asked.
Haley replied, “I mean, clearly not.”
“If you’re gonna go in and basically tell the American people that you’re gonna go and decide who the nominee is after only two states have voted? I mean, 48 states out
Independent urban legend tracking and fact-checking website Snopes took a huge amount of fire on Saturday after marking a true story about President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards “false” — so much heat that eventually they reversed their own ruling and the story is now marked “true” on the site.
At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check.
The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.
Joe Biden went to South Carolina on Saturday to campaign. He barely does any work as it is, spends a lot of his time on vacation, but now during the little time he is actually "working," he's trying to pull himself together to campaign. It's not working. He can't seem to pull it together anymore. He was always bad but it's even worse now. Now the incoherence is more and more apparent, as is the out-of-control anger and the slurring.
First, he seemed to blank out for a moment, then said, "Folks... [lengthy pause, mumbles] If were smart, I'd say thank you and leave."
“An estimated 2,681 news industry jobs were lost through the end of November,” reports the far-left Associated Press.
That’s what you call a good start, reports the far-right John Nolte.
I’ll bet good money that over 90 percent of those who lost their jobs voted for His Fraudulency Joe Biden. So what we have here is another case of people getting what they voted for. Boo hoo.
Joe Biden on Sunday continued to pander to the black community in Columbia, South Carolina ahead of the state’s Democrat primary set for February 3.
81-year-old Biden participated in a political event at St. John the Baptist Church on Sunday.
He brazenly lied from the pulpit about his role in the civil rights movement and his history of attending black churches. This is just weeks after he lied about ‘starting the civil rights movement’ during a stump speech at a black church in Charleston.
President Joe Biden confirmed Sunday three U.S. service members were killed and 25 others wounded in an Iranian backed drone attack in Jordan Saturday. In his statement, Biden claimed there will be some kind of response. "The three American service members we lost were patriots in the highest sense. And their ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten by our nation. Together, we will keep the sacred obligation we bear to their families," Biden released in a statement. "We will strive to be worthy of their honor and valor. We will carry on their commitment to fight terrorism. And have no doubt -- we will hold all those responsible to account
Three US service members were killed and 25 others were wounded in a drone attack on an outpost in Jordan near the Syrian border on Saturday night, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Sunday. This is the first time that US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the war in Gaza.
According to CENTCOM, the attack took place at a base in northeast Jordan. CENTCOM stated that the identities of the servicemembers will be withheld until 24 hours after their next of kin have been notified. US President Joe Biden condemned the attack on the US service members
Somalian refugee Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) gave a speech to the Somali community in Minnesota on Saturday that has gone viral thanks to English translation subtitles. The translations have Omar saying she and her fellow Somalis are Somali first and Muslim second–with no mention of being American. Omar also said she represents Somalia in Congress and told the audience that they control the U.S. government’s Somalia policy.
Outraged Americans called for Omar’s expulsion from the House of Representatives.
The Climate Models Are Wrong

Dr. Roy Spencer, a top scientist specializing in climate, wrote a report for Heritage which he summarized on his own web site.
Spencer compared observed warming in the U.S. corn belt during the summer, between 1973 and 2022–a 50-year period–with the warming that was predicted by the major climate models. He found that all of the models yielded more warming than actually occurred, most to an absurd degree.
Bezhani Sarvar, was working as a security guard and then he decided that Allah had a special mission for him. And, like all of Allah’s special missions, it involved shooting a whole lot of people.
So he headed on over to City Hall in the Canadian city of Edmonton and got on with Allah’s work. Not that the media will tell you any of this. [SNIP] The Muslim terrorist ranted about “this genocide that’s going on in Gaza and throughout the world” and vowed, “inshallah, we will rise against you guys, and we’ll put you on trial.”
He vowed, “Salam-Alaikum, brothers and sisters. Inshallah. I’ll succeed with my mission."
Lara Logan wrote on X that the truckers should be very concerned. “Be aware – numerous sources indicate the federal govt is planning to try make this another fake “insurrection” and go after people in the convoy the same way they targeted people for exercising their constitutional rights on January 6th.. They are already tracing and tracking people through their phones, iPads etc.”
Tucker spoke with one of the convoy’s leaders, Dr. Pete Chambers and Ken Paxton. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Texas will not give up, and he’s unsure what the federal government expects Texas to do.

A Democrat pollster gets it. Why doesn’t Nikki? If, as some speculate, Nikki is continuing to run in case something happens ro Trump, what she’s missing is that there is no way we would turn to a “traitor” to fill his shoes. We’d look for a Trump loyalist. The Never-Nikki movement would be huge.
