Flotsam and Jetsam - Nikki Taps Out

Nikki Haley finally bows to the inevitable, but not especially graciously, Spencer Brown at TownHall, Haley Formally Drops Out of Race, Offers Some Thoughts on Trump Being the Nominee. No endorsement of Trump, says Trump will have to "earn" her voters. Jazz Shaw at Hat Hair, Haley Finally Packing It In. Duane Patterson at Hat Hair, Nikki Haley: Upon Further Review, I'm Out. Ben Domenech at Spec World, Haley is out. How can Trump pick up her voters? "Tone is obviously one factor." Capt. Ed at Hat Hair adds "Haley's professed motive of being the GOP's Plan B in case Trump can't run in November never made any sense. If Trump has to withdraw for any reason, the party wouldn't nominate Haley -- they'd draft DeSantis, who fits the current mood and agenda far better. " Sundance at CTH snarks Nikki Haley Quits U.S. Presidential Race – DC Supporters Consider Alternative Role, President of Ukraine. The snark master, Ace, Nikki Haley Suspends Campaign But Withholds Endorsement of Trump; MSNBC Melts Down (Obviously). "Nikki Haley won two primaries: 90% Democrat DC and the most liberal state in the country, Vermont. Her pointless Ego Ride is over. (For now.) Although Haley acknowledged the long-obvious, that Trump would be the nominee, and "wish[ed] him well," she did not actually endorse him and seems to be keeping her options as open as her snizz." Breitbart notices an odd statistic in a CNN Exit Poll: Among the Slim Margin of North Carolina Republican Voters Who Approve of Joe Biden as President, 83% Support Nikki Haley. Yes, Trump has some work to do to bring back a majority of the Nikki wing.

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 03.06.24 (Afternoon Edition) at Am Think John Green thinks Trump Made Our Political Choice Clear and the Victory Girls: Van Jones – Good Grandpa VS. Bad Grandpa. Am Spec's Scott McKay sees Trump’s Reelection Effort Is Becoming the Hero’s Journey, "And the public is beginning to see it." PJM's Vicky Taft says This Is the Moment Donald Trump Won the 2024 Election "Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Policy reported that Freedom of Information Act requests revealed that Joe Biden and his Department of Homeland Security have been running a secretive immigration program since 2022 off the books and out of sight." ABC whines McConnell endorses Trump in 2024 race despite railing against him after Jan. 6. Sundance believes Machiavellian Mitch McConnell Strategically Endorses President Trump. Da Fed's John Davidson says Democrats, Not Trump Or His Supporters, Are The Real Extremists. At PJM Ben Shapiro gives away The Dirty Little Secret of the 2024 Campaign "Joe Biden is losing to Donald Trump because of a dirty little secret: Donald Trump is actually the moderate in this race. On nearly every issue, Trump is closer to the median voter than Biden." But the media will not tell that part of the story. Leading Report@LeadingReport, "BREAKING: Former President Trump allegedly held a secret meeting with Elon Musk on Sunday at Mar-A-Lago, according to the NYT." But sundance notes Elon Announces What He’s Not Going to Do, give money to either candidate. At Am Con, Krzysztof Tyszka-Drozdowski claims Trump Actually Can Renew the Economy. "The second Trump term offers the opportunity to set America on the path to economic recrudescence—if culture wars don’t distract." Reagan Reese at Da Caller hears Biden Reportedly Has New Campaign Strategy To Make Trump ‘Go Haywire’ Sundance is pleased as Texas AG Ken Paxton Pledges Revenge Against All Bush Republicans Who Targeted Him and Donald Trump

John Sexton at Hat Hair, Adam Schiff's Victory Speech Shows What Democrats Are Up Against. Christopher Cadelago@ccadelago, "Adam Schiff’s entire victory speech tonite was interrupted by protesters chanting for a ceasefire in Gaza." At RedState, Sister Toldja says Sore Loser Katie Porter and Her Primary Night Speech Were a Sight to Behold. Hopefully we've beholded the last of her, but probably not. Also, Democrat Panic Sets in As GOP's Mark Robinson Advances, Aims to Make History in NC Gubernatorial Race.  TownHall's Matt Vespa is informed Liberal Reporter Notices Something Odd About California's Democratic Primary Results, slow counting thanks to mail-in voting. Althouse wonders "What’s next for Sinema after her Senate term runs out this year?... A vanity presidential campaign from corporate-backed No Labels...?" "That's a quote from an article I found when I was looking for discussion of whether Kyrsten Sinema will be the No Labels candidate for President." 

From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 03.06.24 (Afternoon Edition) at Da Fed,  Wisconsin Complaint Exposes Leftist-Led Vote Drives On College Campuses Democrats Project Their Election Interference Onto The Supreme Court And Everyone Else, If Youngkin Doesn’t Veto Dems’ ERIC Bill, He’s Gifting Virginia’s Voter Roll Data To Left-Wing Activists, and Why Did The GOP-Led Missouri Senate Snipe An Effort To Keep Noncitizens From Amending Their Constitution?

Breitbart crows, Biden Loses American Samoa Democrat Caucus in First Defeat of 2024. Politico crows Dean Phillips drops out "The Minnesota representative attacked the sitting president’s electability. He now ends his candidacy after a less-than-compelling performance across the early state contests." Capt. Ed has a good word, "Thanks to the nuts in the Twin Cities, "uncommitted" won more delegates than Phillips did in his own home state. It's too bad, though; Phillips wanted to encourage a serious challenger to enter the nomination race to address the cognitive decline of Joe Biden. That turned out to be a more quixotic quest than even Phillips knew." At WaEx, Biden has over 350,000 problems ahead of Trump rematch, uncommitted.  Jazz Shaw notes Joe Biden Celebrates Super Tuesday by Looking Confused Again. From NYPo, Biden’s 2024 advantage: An alliance of elites rigging the game. The Free Bacon notices Biden Slams America's Conduct During WWII in Attempt To Criticize Israel. 'That's why we ended up with the United Nation and all these rules.'  From TNP, Obama Advisor Says Biden ‘Threats to Democracy’ Messaging is for The ‘Privileged’ Who Don’t Worry About Inflation. At PJM  Matt Margolis reports Joe Biden Has a Creepy Fascination With ‘Young People’ and How They ‘Make Love'Joe Scarborough Goes Full Nutcase Defending Biden’s Mental Acuity, and Mick Cantrell notes Twice-Failed Dem Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton Says It's Time to Move on From Biden's Age. She's no spring chicken either. 

Matt Welch at Reason claims The State of Our Biden Is Historically Frail "Who you gonna believe during Thursday's speech, the president's protectors or your lying eyes?" Anxious anxiously reports a Scoop: House GOP tries to shut down State of the Union heckling. Capt. Ed adds "I can't stand the SOTU event no matter who's president. Its imperial trappings are an affront to the separation of power and the concept of co-equal branches, and the Kabuki theater of constant standing ovations for the most mundane of political declarations is nauseating. Johnson's correct that members should respect the institutions rather than engage in performative responses, but we'd all be better off if Congress set a new precedent in requesting the SOTU in written form. (Guess who's probably stuck with live-blogging it tomorrow? *sigh*" Althouse, Donald Trump will heckle Biden in real time. Trump at Truth Social.

"I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a LIVE, Play by Play, of Crooked Joe Biden’s State of the Union Address. I will correct, in rapid response, any and all inaccurate Statements, especially pertaining to the Border and his Weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, A.G.s, and District Attorneys, to go after his Political Opponent, ME (something never done before in this Country!). We did this once before to tremendous success - Beating All Records. It is important for the Country to get the TRUTH!" ADDED: I'm sure plans are in the works to fact-check the fact-checker.

At least that might be amusing instead of merely infuriating the way Biden's SOTU is likely to be.

Twitchy,  2021 Email Partly Explains Why Biden/Harris Never Wanted to Meet With Border Patrol Chief. "Fox News' Bill Melugin pointed out that Biden, Harris or Mayorkas never apologized for claiming Border Patrol agents on horseback "whipped" people trying to enter the U.S. illegally, and pointed to an email from Ortiz that might help explain why the shameless people at the top of this administration didn't want to speak with him . . . "Not only has the White House never apologized, but they never even cared to meet with Ortiz when he was the Border Patrol chief because Biden & Harris' lies would have made it awkward."  Hat Hair's KT, hears MSNBC: It Is Hilarious That Illegal Immigration Is Top Issue for Republican Virginia Voters. Virginia Kruta at Da Wire observes Jen Psaki Mocks Voters Worried About Illegal Immigration. OTP, Gunfight Near the San Diego Border Leaves One Dead. Ace, MSNBC Giggles About Illegal Aliens Murdering Americans; John Stewart Mocks Dr. Phil as a Queer For Noticing the Unchecked Invasion of Military-Aged Men Flooding Over the Border. "Katie Pavlich collects some videos of MSNBC "journalists" having a Giggle Party about Americans concerned about migrant crime." Am Thinks Kathleen Brush thinks The Biden Administration’s Creative Rule-Breaking is Destroying The Border. Front Page, has a Video: Cicely Davis Delivers the Savage Truth About the Border Invasion. "Joe Biden has the power to protect American citizens right now - but he won't use it."

Hayden Ludwig at Am Great, Far Left Pushes for Illegal Alien Driver’s Licenses in Wisconsin with Tony Evers’ Help "Documenting the so-called “undocumented” creates a permanent underclass in America—and risks illegal voter registration." And they'll get all those mail-in ballots for harvesting.

Jeff Anderson at CJ calls it No Great Mystery. "What explains Americans’ dour economic outlook? Look no further than inflation." I&I, You Don’t Need Government Protection From Your Grocery Store, but your grocery store may need protection from the government. 

John Sparks at Am Spec notes Nine Justices Preserve President Trump’s Ballot Status "The measured restraint of the per curiam opinion accomplished four important things." Jonathan Turley calls it A Moment of Supreme Clarity: How the Court Delivered a Blow to the Lumberjack School of Constitutional Law.  Capt. Ed adds  "The progressive Left are nihilists at their core. They want to destroy institutions in order to remake them in their own image. They cannot win through persuasion, so they have been on a decades-long campaign to undermine institutions and turn them into tools for their agenda. They have succeeded in Academia and the media, the latter of which can be particularly seen in the reaction to the court's decision."  Nicole Silvero again, Jonathan Turley Says Democrats Working To Disqualify ‘Dozens’ Of Republicans Beyond Trump. Da Wire, CNN Legal Expert Blasts Democrats For Trying To Ban Trump From Ballot: ‘Doomed To Fail,’ Will ‘Fuel’ Trump To White House. The Free Bacon would like you to  WATCH the Media Melt Down After Liberal Supreme Court Justices Rule for Trump. Capt. Ed says  "You've probably seen most of these already, but why not enjoy them again ... and again ... and again?" Matt Margolis, Is This the Dumbest Rant Responding to the Supreme Court Decision in Trump Ballot Case? A high bar, indeed. At Da Caller, Supreme Court Schedules Date To Hear Trump’s Presidential Immunity Appeal, April 25. John Sexton again hears Democratic Panic: A Trump Conviction is the Only Way Biden Can Win

Conservative Brief@ConservBrief "BREAKING: BOMBSHELL NEWS OUT OF GEORGIA!! During a Georgia Senate hearing, attorney Ashley Merchant disclosed White House records showing that Georgia DA Fani Willis had met with Vice-President Kamala Harris on February 28th, 2023 shortly before bringing charges against Donald Trump for election interference." Did anyone ever doubt the White House was involved? The Free Bacon hears More Witnesses Offer To Testify Fani Willis Lied About Relationship With Prosecutor. Jonathan Turley Of Pings and Prosecutors: The Spectacular Imposition of the Willis-Wade Testimony. "The question is whether the courts, prosecutors or bar officials will show the same vigor in pursuing these allegations against Wade and Willis that they have shown against their own defendants. If so, she could well find herself “on trial” as the allegations mount against her and her lead prosecutor." Joe Fried at Am Think also thinks about Fani and the Politics of the Ping. It's funny how pings were allegedly fatally flawed in 2000 Mules, insanely accurate on Jan. 6, and now wholly inaccurate in Fulton County. WaT, Georgia Senate panel scrutinizes Nathan Wade’s role, high pay in Trump election interference case. "Legislative scrutiny of District Attorney Fani Willis ramps up alongside possible court disqualification." Capt. Ed, "To be clear, the $650,000 figure represents two years of billing, not one. But that still leaves Wade's compensation at almost twice the amount paid in salary to in-house assistant DAs. Even considering non-cash benefits paid to in-house prosecutors, it's costing Fulton County taxpayers a lot more money to have Wade prosecuting the case rather than Fani Willis or one of her ADAs."

At Da Caller, Leaked Docs Reveal The Trans Cult Is Going Even Further Than We Ever Knew. Libs of TikTok claims a scalp, RESULTS: Senate Removes Funding for Sex Kink Parties "Funding for a sex kink par." Capt. Ed, "Kudos to Chaya for exposing this, as it were. Why these centers require federal funding in the first place is a mystery in itself, even without sex-kink parties. In a weird sort of way, though, it's pretty on-brand for Fetterman to retroactively endorse them because of the sex-kink parties." From Althouse, "24-year-old Samantha Hudson — who recently appeared in a new ad for Doritos out in Spain — was put on blast this week by right-leaning X users..." "... amid her first promotional plug for the chip brand... calling out an alleged social media post where she reportedly declared a desire to do inappropriate things to a 12-year-old girl when she was 15.... Samantha reportedly apologized for the resurfaced posts after becoming famous... saying she doesn't remember writing 'such barbarities' almost 10 years ago. However — she did reportedly acknowledge that she previously 'dedicated [her]self to saying nonsense' in the name of dark humor." From "Doritos Scraps Deal with Trans Influencer...
