PHOENIX — Arizona's top prosecutor tells 12News she is investigating whether Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump violated state law by making a "death threat" against former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney during remarks Thursday night at an event in Glendale. "I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws," Attorney General Mayes, a first-term Democrat, said during Friday's taping of "Sunday Square Off." "I'm not prepared now to say whether it was or it wasn't, but it is not helpful as we prepare for our election and as we try to make sure

Cheney and her father are cowardly warmongers, just like Victoria Nuland, Lindsey Graham, Jake Sullivan, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. They want others to die for them. They are psychopaths who enjoy war and its terrible cost to humanity... but they like to watch it from a distance.

Of course it was a death threat. After all, everyone knows that Trump's first act as president will be to execute all his political opponents. Right, all of you leftist loons out there?

The prosecutor should be investigated for election interference. If the prosecutor were anything but a skank, she would investigate, do a legal memorandum setting out why a crime was committed, and then announce a prosecution. Of course, that would take a few days- months for someone serious- and the election is this coming Tuesday. So, election interference. Standard prosecutorial protocols were not followed.

The only time a Dem AG or DA is "tough on crime" is when it comes to their political opponents. PA is currently investigating an Ariz company who submits phony ballot registrations and applications. I doubt this AG has any interest in his activities since the perp in question is lefty pro-Harris Dem.

LATROBE, Pennsylvania — “If we win Pennsylvania, we win the whole damn thing.” Two weeks ago, former President Donald Trump announced these words to rallygoers in this Westmoreland County town at a packed event, which included several former Pittsburgh Steelers taking the stage to endorse him and steelworkers as well, who even got the former president to put on a hard hat that ruffled his hair. It was a statement that made the thousands of supporters, most of which were young, go understandably wild with emotion. Many of the attendees I spoke to were young women, many of them mothers with their children, who could not wait to vote

Future Forward, a pro-Harris group, acknowledged that Vice President Kamala Harris has a 51 percent chance of losing the presidential election, according to internal documents obtained by the Washington Post. The forecast, updated from a previous October 24 prediction that contended Harris had a 63 percent chance of losing, is predicated on the assumption that late-breaking undecided voters will favor Harris, a tact that directly contradicts the Trump campaign. “It’s helpful, from experience, to be closing a Presidential campaign with late deciding voters breaking by double digits to you and the remaining undecideds looking more friendly to you than your opponent,

My colleague Bob Hoge wrote earlier about a case of government overreach that just seems astonishing, the story of Peanut the Squirrel. Mark Longo had a pet squirrel he had saved after the squirrel's mother was killed by a car seven years ago. Peanut, also affectionally known as "P'Nut," became an Instagram star with its interactions with Longo. Then the NY Department of Environmental Conservation reportedly came into Longo's home and removed Peanut and Fred the Raccoon, another pet. They claimed that Peanut bit one of the investigators, so they euthanized both pets to test for rabies, they claimed.

Those examples alone have shown how bankrupt they are as a campaign, on top of not having good plans or policies. But on top of that, they've been getting all kinds of aid from the mainstream media, who seem to have been acting like another arm of the Democratic Party, twisting things that President Donald Trump says into a pretzel

More New Yorkers than ever before are heading to the polls early — and the results appear to be good news for Republicans. Through Thursday, 1,964,393 votes were cast in New York – including 701,402 in NYC, according the state Board of Elections. This puts the state on pace to exceed early-voting totals during the last presidential election, when 2,507,345 New Yorkers voted early over nine days. In the Empire State’s seven battleground congressional districts, many more Republicans are voting early than in 2022, when the GOP flipped four New York seats on its way to score a slim edge in the House,

Liz Cheney (R-WY) be executed by firing squad, posting on Truth Social: All I’m saying about Liz Cheney is that she is a War Hawk, and a dumb one at that, but she wouldn’t have “the guts” to fight herself. It’s easy for her to talk, sitting far from where the death scenes take place, but put a gun in her hand, and let her go fight, and she’ll say, “No thanks!” Her father decimated the Middle East, and other places, and got rich by doing so.

We’re seeing a lot of fuss and bother over the 2024 presidential election. But do we even need a president? I ask because we don’t have one now. And we haven’t had one for all practical purposes for something between a few months and three years. Independent journalist Glenn Greenwald recently tweeted, “The US has no functional president and has not had one for months, and it’s barely noticeable and barely matters because there’s a permanent unelected machine that runs the government.” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ken.) replied, “Where’s the lie?” Elon Musk commented, “Bingo.” Joe Biden may be capable of lobbing insults at half the country, but he certainly isn’t running things.

Talk about a statement against interests. Or perhaps this analysis from veteran Democrat adviser Doug Sosnick in the New York Times intends to be a final warning call to the Kamala Harris campaign. In fairness, this reads more straightforwardly than a partisan panic-porn blast. Sosnick only allows himself one bit of partisan editorializing while noting that the data he sees suggests that Donald Trump has the clearest path to an Electoral College win. "Clearest" is a term of art in itself, as he rightly observes that the partisan trench warfare over the past two decades has made American presidential elections a constant vigil
