SB 747 is not about protecting election security. It’s about making it harder for North Carolinians to vote and adding new burdens for voters to cast their ballot…

Trump’s endorsement of Jordan could help sort out what seems likely to be a tumultuous race for the speakership after the ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy earlier this week. Jordan is a close Trump ally and one of the leading GOP lawmakers investigating President Joe Biden. He would be one of, if not the, most conservative members to hold the speaker’s gavel in recent memory should he be elected. Both Jordan and Louisiana Rep.

He pacified rebellions from his younger and increasingly more ideological staff. And he partnered with Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos to take on arguably the biggest disrupter of all: technology. He’s written about all of this — and a lot more — in his new book, Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post.

Also, I am worth much MORE than on Financials, and have 100% DISCLAIMER CLAUSE. Therefore, can’t be Fraud!!! END THIS FAKE $18,000,000 Mar-a-Lago TRIAL. A total miscarriage of justice!” Trump further posted multiple times on Hunter Biden and unsubstantiated allegations of White House…

Nikki Haley, the former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Trump, said that Hamas had “declared war on Israel” on the 50th anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, calling the group a “bloodthirsty terrorist organization backed by Iran and determined to kill as many innocent lives as possible.” “The reports out of Israel are horrific with a stunning number of dead and wounded and should be universally condemned,” Haley said. “Israel has every right to defend its citizens from terror. We must always stand with Israel and against this Iranian regime.” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called for “a swift…

A report was taken and the driver was released with a summons for unsafe backing.
