Biden's ballot issues in Ohio aren't going
away as state Democrats receive another
urgent warning

President Biden may not appear on the ballot in Ohio come Election Day, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose warned Tuesday. The Ohio Democratic Party has received weeks of warnings from both LaRose's office and the state legislature saying that Biden is on track to miss the state's deadline for filing as a candidate. LaRose, a Republican, says the Democratic Party has yet to offer a solution that fits with existing law. Biden's problems arise from Ohio's requirement that parties certify their presidential candidates at least 90 days before Election Day. The Democratic Party won't certify Biden until its national convention in Wisconsin

âItâs natural to wonder if democracy you hear about actually works for you,â Joe Biden told graduates of the historical black college of Morehouse. âWhat is democracy if black men are being killed in the street? What is democracy if a trail of broken promises still leaves black communities behind? What is democracy if you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot?â
These are three of the most pernicious and divisive lies about American life. To begin with, the notion that the only way for a black graduate to succeed in America is to stratospherically overachieve is an obvious myth.
Donald Trump's first election redrew the map of American politics; suddenly Pennsylvania and Michigan were in the Republican column for the first time since the 1980s.
But they didn't stay there: The Rust Belt states that made Trump president in 2016 sent Joe Biden to the White House in 2020.
That second Trump election also redrew the map, this time forfeiting two Sun Belt states that had been Republican for decades, Arizona and Georgia, to the Democrats.
Which map will Trump draw this time?
Many of Trump's notable allies have flocked to Manhattan's courthouse to show support for the former president, the latest being SNL alum Joe Piscopo. The former "Saturday Night Live" comedian expressed his loyalty and support for Trump during an appearance on "Cavuto: Coast to Coast," Thursday, saying that he wanted to display his allegiance to Trump "just to show respect" for their multi-decade-long friendship. "When this trial started to unfold, and if you layer it back like you do on the television or on the radio, we still don't know what the crime is. I said, I'm going to show up just to show respect to President Trump.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election, it was widely believed that the Republicans faced a fork in the road, one path to stay the party of former President Donald Trump, another to turn toward a new leader, perhaps governors like Floridaâs Ron DeSantis, Virginiaâs Glenn Youngkin or even Maryland's Larry Hogan. Four years later, with another election looming, the GOP is now asking a different question: "Why not both?"
Hogan, a popular two-term Republican governor in sapphire blue Maryland and frequent Donald Trump critic, just won his primary and stands a decent chance of flipping the Senate seat, and possibly the upper chamber itself.

I have observed and participated in trials throughout the world. I have seen justice and injustice in China, Russia, Ukraine, England, France, Italy, Israel, as well as in nearly 40 of our 50 states. But in my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday.
The judge in Donald Trumpâs trial was an absolute tyrant, though he appeared to the jury to be a benevolent despot. He seemed automatically to be ruling against the defendant at every turn. Many experienced lawyers raised their eyebrows when the judge excluded
The trial of former President Donald Trump is now in its sixth week in Manhattan. Even though it doesnât meet every day, the court sessions are intense and can wear on all the participants. It is particularly unfortunate when they wear on the judge who is in control of all the proceedings. That is what appears to have happened late Monday, at the end of a very odd day, when Judge Juan Merchan abruptly ordered the courtroom cleared â of everyone, including press, even though the trial is public â when Merchan apparently lost his temper over a witness called by the Trump defense.
The witness was Robert Costello

In Witness, Whittaker Chambers explained his break with the Communist Party after he learned of the widespread violence and murder its ideologues were committing. As Chambers famously phrased it, he heard the screams.
I left mainstream academia because I heard the lies.
The core reason why I walked away from an established academic career to help build a new institution is that I felt the urge to censor myself. I remember thinking many timesâand many of my colleagues will recognize this worryââWhat will happen if I say or write what I think?â Whether it is about the right path to equality, the wrong path to racial justice,
Ranking Trumpâs Vice-Presidential Options

Playing the Veepstakes guessing game is often a losing one for analysts. Vice-presidential selection is ultimately a highly personal choice, and it is simply too difficult to venture into the mind of one individual and mimic their thought process. Perhaps more importantly, Republican presidential nominees havenât made the obvious choice for vice president since Ronald Reagan chose George Bush in 1980. Dan Quayle, Jack Kemp, Dick Cheney, Sarah Palin, Paul Ryan, and even Mike Pence were all somewhat âout-of-left-fieldâ selections for their respective presidential candidates.
It is tempting to say that the journey into the mind of a presidential candidate is
RCP co-founder Tom Bevan interviews South Carolina Republican Sen. Tim Scott about Donald Trump's effort to appeal to black voters and whether he would serve as Trump's running mate, Friday on the RealClearPolitics radio show.
"It's not a black agenda that is attracting African Americans to Donald Trump. It's just an American agenda that doesn't leave anybody behind," Scott said.
"What is it that seems to be the gender gap here that is more attractive to African American men?" Bevan asked.
"Jobs and justice, to be frank," Scott said. "Jobs, because at the end of the day, African American men, just like men all over the country, want to support their families
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio delivered a masterclass Sunday on how Republicans should respond when media partisans ask them to prematurely commit to accepting the results of the 2024 election.
NBC Newsâ Kristen Welker asked Rubio if he would âaccept the 2024 election results no matter what happens.â âNo matter what happens? No! If itâs an unfair election, I think itâs going to be contested by each side,â Rubio said.
âNo matter who wins, Senator? No matter who wins?â Welker asked.
âYouâre asking the wrong person! The Democrats are the ones that have opposed every Republican victory since 2000. Every single one.
An influential, fiscally conservative and libertarian political advocacy group will work with gas stations across the country this week to remind Americans what the price at the pump was four years ago. On Monday, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) will host the first of a series of events that will roll back gas prices from coast to coast "to get a pre-Bidenomics break at the pump." More than 20 gas stations will participate throughout this week, temporarily reducing prices to as low as $2.38 per gallon â near the average price per gallon of gas on the day President Biden assumed office.

If youâre keeping track, Biden announced that America was going to spend two months building a floating pier to deliver aid to Gaza at a cost of $300 million that would be operated by the U.S. military.
Then the pier came under attack by terrorists, was withdrawn to the Israeli port of Ashdod for repairs while the Biden administration conducted backchannel talks with Hamas urging it not to attack the pier, then redeployed for aid deliveries and itâs been a smashing success.
For Hamas.
MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show âDeadlineâ that âshrinks and cult expertsâ needed to explain former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) endorsing former President Donald Trump.
Partial transcript as follows:
NBC REPORTER VAUGHN HILLYARD: Nikki Haley, in 2015, said, âDonald Trump is everything I taught my children not to do in kindergarten. I told my little ones, you donât lie and make things up.â She ended up serving in his administration.
WALLACE: Who are these people?!
HILLYARD: On, January 6, she called it âan ugly day.â She then went and said â a couple months later
TOPLINE Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew an âAppeal To Heavenâ flag at his New Jersey vacation home last year, a Revolutionary War-era symbol also flown by religious conservatives and some rioters on Jan. 6, according to The New York Times, the latest controversy for Alito, who recently faced criticism after the Times reported an upside-down American flag flew outside his house after the 2020 election. KEY FACTS
The flag was flown at Alitoâs Long Beach Island home in July and Sept. 2023, the Times reported, citing a Google street view photo, three photographs and accounts from a half-dozen neighbors and passers-by.
Pope Francis congratulated California governor Gavin Newsom for his refusal to carry out the death penalty and for Californiaâs leadership in fighting climate change, the governorâs office reported. (snip)
âThe intentional killing of another person is wrong and as Governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual,â said Governor Newsom.
(snip) Following the Dobbs v. Jackson Womenâs Health Organization Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Governor Newsom launched a crusade to defend the right to abortion, which the Catholic Church considers to be murder.
It didnât take long for the Pentagon to all but confirm that the temporary Gaza port constructed at the behest of President Biden is turning out to be a total disaster.
(snip) during a Tuesday press conference, in which Gen. Patrick S. Ryder, the Pentagonâs spokesman, told reporters that none of the 569 metric tons of food and supplies delivered into Hamas-controlled Gaza via the port have been distributed to Gaza residents by nongovernmental organizations. Constructed by the U.S. military, the $320 million floating port was announced earlier this year during Bidenâs State of the Union address, a move designed to cater to the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party base.
Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez gloated Tuesday that the Manhattan lawfare case against former President Donald Trump is achieving its goal of keeping him from campaigning.
Speaking to reporters outside Capitol Hill about Trumpâs upcoming rally in the South Bronx, Ocasio-Cortez pointed out the former president is holding a rally in the deep-blue Empire State because he has a âlegal version of ankle bracelet around himâ and canât easily campaign in battleground states.
âBy the way, heâs doing [the rally] in the South Bronx not to make a point but because heâs got court

Hundreds of Harvard University students and faculty walked out of the schoolâs commencement ceremony on Thursday, wearing keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags and anti-Israel banners, videos and reports from the Cambridge campus show.
The Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine (HOOP) coalition, which organized the universityâs anti-Israel encampment, posted a video of students marching out of the area in which commencement was held on its Instagram page. The video shows students chanting âhey hey, ho ho, the occupation has got to goâ and is accompanied by a caption that reads, âover a THOUSAND of Harvard students and faculty have walked out of graduation.â

Last Friday morning, top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler arrived at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., for the second round of the PGA Championship. Traffic was stopped due to an accident that had taken place earlier that morning, and Scheffler tried to drive around it. The original reports were that an officer tried to stop Schefflerâs car, and the golfer dragged the officer, causing injury. Police arrested Scheffler and hit him with four charges, including a felony. Det. Bryan Gillis, who said he tried to stop Scheffler and later arrested him, did not turn his body camera on during the incident, but he later wrote a report
Now we know for certain: the diary, like the laptop, is real â and its contents are alarming.
So why isn't the media all over this?
In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age as well as her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused. Explosive stuff. Not that you would have heard about it, thanks to a near-complete, years-long media blackout.
After undergoing treatment in rehab, Ashley moved to a halfway house in Florida, where she left the diary under a mattress.
Bloomberg's pollster is out with a new batch of its regularly-released swing state data -- and it's (mostly) more of the same. We'll get to my question about Kamala Harris below, but first, here's what the fresh polling shows: Donald Trump leads narrowly-to-modestly over Joe Biden in five of the seven battlegrounds surveyed. Trump and Biden are tied in Nevada -- a good result for Biden, compared with both the recent New York Times poll showing him down double digits there, and the state average. Biden leads only in Michigan, and only by one point. As usual, the 'big three' midwestern states are extremely close,
MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle is telling Americans not to believe their lying eyes, that President Bidenâs economy is fantastic and they are better off economically than they mistakenly believe.
The condescension and gaslighting have kicked into full gear as the presidential election nears. Despite Americans struggling to put food on the table, a roof over their heads, and clothes on their childrenâs backs, Ruhle is telling them they are basically dimwitted and donât appreciate how good they have it.
âWe need an economic explainer,â Ruhle told the president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Austan Goolsbee. âPeople are confused, theyâre exhausted, but theyâre also doing quite well.â
In March 2018, Barack Obamaâs former Secretary of State, John Kerry was caught secretly meeting with Iranian officials to salvage Iranâs nuclear weapons program. Kerry was working against the Trump administration to salvage Obamaâs Iranian nuclear deal that funded terrorism across the Middle East.
Obamaâs former Secretary of State was seen dining with several Iranian regime officials. The above photo was taken as Kerry left the restaurant in Paris.
Around this time, President Trump withdrew from the sham Iranian nuclear deal. President Trump knew the deal with the Iranian mullahs was not working.
Comments:
Not content with trying to keep Trump off the ballot, it appears that Democrats have found a way to keep their own candidate off the ballot (at least in Ohio). đ
