A January 14th poll on the Iowa caucus had Trump in the lead with 55% of the vote. Haley was 21, DeSantis at 15, Ramaswamy at 5, Christie (dropped out), and Hutchinson at 2%. Iowans caucused last night and declared their choice for the Republican Nominee.

Night Cap: Who Has Standing to Sue If Not US?
Last week, yet another election-process challenge was argued in court: this time, federal U.S. District for New Hampshire. At issue was the sleight-of-hand unauthorized extension of primary voter dates to change party – part of a schema of Trump-haters to empower non-GOP outsiders to vote in the state GOP primary election, then to switch back to their own ‘other party’ affiliation to vote in the general election.
AP: Donald Trump is the Projected Winner of the Iowa Caucus
Donald Trump winning the Iowa Caucus is not a surprise – well, maybe to a few DeSantis and Haley staffers on Twitter – but that doesn’t mean no surprises are coming out of Iowa.
The Most Important Election in our Lifetime?
You’ve heard these words many times in the past year — the 2024 presidential race is “the most important election in our lifetime.” Is it really? Yes! Here’s one way to describe the environment surrounding this year’s election:
Inevitable Trump Win Won’t “Taint” New Hampshire’s Primary …
I just read Rep. Mike Moffett’s (R) recent Op-Ed in the New Hampshire Journal regarding New Hampshire’s First in the Nation primary (FITN). I found his article a little disingenuous.
Now That Chris Christie Has Dropped Out …
Chris Crispy-Creme-Christie has left the building. He’s done. Finished. Fini. No longer will he run for President. He’s still running (to be Nikki Haley’s AG if you are familiar with my presidential campaign conspiracy theory), and he still has campaign money to burn. And he’ll do almost anything to stop Mr. Trump.
Nikki Haley: Globalist Establishment Meat Puppet
Special Forces Community endorsed Haley
Last week, a number of Special Forces veterans listening to the Wilkow Majority became apoplectic when Brandon Webb announced that SOFREP had endorsed Nikki Haley. While not a monolithic endorsement, a substantial endorsement, nonetheless.
Trump is Back on the Ballot in Maine – Was Never Really Off it. Not Yet.
Maine is in the news again after its secretary of state – a Trump-hating-partisan Democrat decided she had the authority to tell the Republican party (a private corporation) who could be on their primary ballot. That was the big news. Shenna Bellows. Trump kicked off Maine Ballot. Or, is he? No, he’s not!
NH’s Department of Selective Justice – Election Law Division
It’s been a good month for NH AG Formella. The week before Christmas, they reported a 700 million-dollar settlement with Google. Couch cushion money for Alphabet, but a decent haul for Jackpot Justice New Hampshire. Do we need a huge payoff to get the AG to chase everything?
Night Cap: Vivek Bails on TV Ads in January, DeSantis PACs Shuffle Priorities
Vivek Ramaswamy has been running ads in NH Since March, but his campaign just announced that it was shifting gears. It canceled all of its TV buys in Iowa and New Hampshire and intends to work its ground game in the remaining weeks. Team DeSantis is doing something similar.
Maine Won’t Put Chris Christie on Its 2024 Republican Primary Ballot
Twenty days ago, we reported on a muck-up in Maine (that’s muck, with an ‘m’). Team Christie, or so the State claimed, had failed to provide 2000 in-state signatures (of certified registered voters) as required by law. The campaign appealed, and the State Supreme Court has ruled.
Night Cap: Nikki Haley Picks Ron DeSantis’ Pockets – Walks Away With his NH Primary Base
Neocon Nikki has momentum. Not against Trump, not yet. The Donald’s base continues to back him no matter what. That significant lead is not currently in jeopardy – like that or not. But Haley’s campaign vacuum has been sucking up DeSantis supporters, and it’s killing him.
Biden’s Deplorable Polling
It is sad to see the approval rating of our President, Joe Biden, fall to a new low of 34%. Biden is not my choice for President, but once elected, the President is the leader for all Americans. It is distressing that the man who garnered 81 million votes is doing such a poor job that his performance is approved by less than 40% of the people.
Pick a Side: Is Nikki Haley an Establishment Meat Puppet?
It is no secret that I think Nikki Haley is a Constitutional threat. And you won’t find many, if any, authors here who support her bid. That’s not to say we should not have some op-eds that support here. But so far, that’s not what people are sending me.
Let Londonderry Times Publisher Deb Paul Go … With a Warning
Londonderry Times publisher Deb Paul has been dragged through the court system thanks to detractors around town who are less than enthusiastic about her refusal to toe their line. This Wednesday, a judge will decide how effective their campaign against her has been.
And Yet MORE Evidence That The 2020 Election Was Thoroughly RIGGED
At this point, any honest and serious discussion about the 2020 election is about HOW rigged it was, not whether it was rigged. And now we have evidence that the scale of mail-in voting fraud was massive … 20 PERCENT of mail-in votes were fraudulent.
His Excellency Endorses Constitutional Threat, Nikki Haley for President
Governor Chris Sununu has decided to kill the presidential aspirations of Nikki Haley, not that she hasn’t tried to do that herself. Sununu endorsed her as his pick for President this week, just six weeks before New Hampshire’s First in the Nation Primary.
Night Cap: Why Nikki Haley Is The Neoliberals’ Favorite Republican
Nikki Haley is campaigning to the wrong crowd. Her campaign would probably say that’s part of her strategy. To conservative voters, that’s exactly the problem with Nikki Haley: Republican primary voters aren’t Haley’s real constituency.
How the Federal-Private Speech Police Operated in Election 2020
During the 2020 election, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) partnered with the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), a consortium of groups led by the Stanford Internet Observatory, to track and counter what they considered mis- and disinformation.
ICYMI – Maine Says Chris Christie Didn’t Qualify to Be on Its GOP Presidential Primary Ballot
For all the talk amongst the never-Trumpers about keeping The Donald off state ballots, perhaps someone should have spent more time trying to get his challenger on them. Maine has announced that Chris Christie lacked the signatures needed to appear on its ballot, and so he will not.
