The school shooting at the Covenant School in Tennessee has produced some gun control advocates. They are not happy with the legislators. Families of the Covenant School shooting victims are plotting their next efforts to pass gun reform in Tennessee before the state legislature returns, the New York Times reported Tuesday.Covenant, a private Christian school in the wealthiest Nashville suburb, was forever changed when a shooter killed three 9‑year‑old children and three adults with an AR-15-style pistol in March. Parents and community members have since mobilized, pressing for some state-wide changes to gun laws. That battle has pitted conservatives against conservatives, the New York Times report notes. Among those fighting for gun control laws were "former Republican aides, gun owners and lifelong conservatives who could afford to spend days at the legislature," writes Emily Cochrane. Yet, when they tried to meet with local lawmakers and beg for help, their campaign went ignored, according to the report. When lawmakers stood up in their defense, the Republican speaker moved to expel three members of the General Assembly. Two of the three were thrown out by the GOP. The lawmakers' community swiftly put them back in office. Meanwhile, the Assembly ignored the public outcry and dismissed any concerns. The Times reports that at one point, Mary Joyce — whose daughter was a classmate of the three children killed — cried out in the Capitol rotunda that the shooter “hunted our children with a high-capacity rifle. “I have held my composure. I have stayed calm," said Joyce, a moderate conservative, according to the report. "I have been silent and quiet and composed. And I am sick of it. Listen to me.” The parents want Tennessee law that would have stopped the shooter, who was being treated for an emotional disorder, from legally purchasing his seven firearms, the Times reports. "Even to several Covenant parents who owned guns, or once did, it was clear that preventing such situations was imperative," Cochrane writes. "The next moment will come in January when the parents will return to the legislature. And maybe soon, their children will return to their school building on the hill, refurbished for a different start." www.rawstory.com/tennessee-republicans-gun-reform/ |

Let them eat their own. As of Haley didn't have the Civil War issues.... The birthers are attacking her.. Nut Laura Loomer specifically!! Loomer argued on Christmas eve that Haley was an "anchor baby who is unqualified to be president.""Our reporting will likely inspire some to call us 'Birthers,' but facts don’t care about feelings and neither does the U.S. Constitution. Nikki Haley was not born from U.S. Citizens and is not a Natural Born Citizen," Loomer wrote. "Nikki has a birthright citizenship. Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa on 1/20/1972 in Bamberg, South Carolina to Non-U.S. Citizens, legal Sikh immigrants from Punjab, India. As a result of Haley’s parents not being U.S. Citizens at the time of her birth in the United States, she has a birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment and therefore is not eligible to be President of the United States or Vice President of the United States." This post inspired the social media platform itself to issue what might be considered a correction. "This is false. The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency: Be at least 35 years old, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years," the community note reads. "Haley meets all of those. ‘Anchor babies’ are not illegal." Loomer doubled down on her reports into Christmas and beyond, saying on Wednesday that she's not "terrified" of Haley, as a commenter suggested. "Not terrified. Just not confident in a woman being President of the United States," Loomer posted on social media. "Just being honest. I have zero desire to ever see a female President. Let alone An anchor baby female President. Does my honesty bother you? Not that I really care if it does…" www.rawstory.com/trump-ally-anchor-haley/ |

Rep Massie, the one who included his whole family holding assault type rifles on his Christmas cards last year, has more threats for us.. On Friday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) issued a veiled threat to states considering the disqualification of former President Donald Trump from the Republican primary ballot. Massie's threat seems to suggest that any state that excludes Trump from its respective ballot could face severe consequences, including having their state's chosen Electoral College representatives potentially excluded from the final electoral vote count. Hypothetically, this could mean that if the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) upholds the Colorado supreme court's disqualification of the former president, the Centennial State's 10 Electoral College members may not be certified by the full House of Representatives — effectively denying the votes of millions of Coloradans from being included in the final result. www.rawstory.com/thomas-massie-2666835484/ |

“Breaking on @msnbc: In a more-than-80-page filing, special counsel Jack Smith is urging an appeals court to reject Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss his federal election interference case on presidential immunity grounds.
"Rather than vindicating our constitutional framework, the defendant's sweeping immunity claim threatens to license Presidents to commit crimes to remain in office."
"The Founders did not intend and would never have countenanced such a result."

Dan Patrick made threats, too www.voanews.com/a/republicans-blast-decision-to-remove-trump-from-colorado-primary-ballot-/7407924.html"Seeing what happened in Colorado makes me think — except we believe in democracy in Texas — maybe we should take Joe Biden off the ballot in Texas for allowing 8 million people to cross the border since he's been president, disrupting our state," Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick told Fox News.
And Tillis went as far as introducing a bill www.axios.com/2023/12/20/congress-trump-colorado-supreme-court-2024Zoom in: Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), a member of Senate GOP leadership, introduced legislation on Tuesday aimed at punishing states that make such rulings.
The three-page bill would amend the Help America Vote Act to withhold federal election administration funds to states "misusing the Fourteenth Amendment for political purposes."
It would also clarify that the Supreme Court has "sole jurisdiction" to adjudicate such 14th Amendment cases.

FOX viewers cannot say they didn't know!! The Wall Street Journal is known for its far-right leanings, but on New Year's Eve associate editor John Bussey revealed to Fox viewers that the top issue in 2024 will likely be the economy, and Joe Biden is winning. He began by citing former President Donald Trump's criminal prosecutions he'll be facing in 2024 after already being found to have sexually abused E. Jean Carroll by a civil court. youtu.be/1hwThHInT00?si=oGhCB1zCXNpeo4Zg |

I have never understood why people believe it’s ok to leave a gun in a car unattended.
”A 10-year-old in Sacramento County has been arrested on a murder charge for allegedly shooting and killing another 10-year-old after authorities say he went to his father's vehicle to retrieve cigarettes and took a gun from the car.”

Of course the media will ignore this. I have to admit when I read the second one I thought of MAGA gal.
“Dear news media —
You’re failing this country with your coverage leading up to the 2024 election.
1️⃣ Stop reporting on Biden‘s age w/out reporting on Trump’s. They’re only 3 years apart and Trump is showing clear signs of cognitive decline. Report on that!
2️⃣ Stop confusing being balanced with being honest. Both sides have their problems, but it is simply false to say that both sides are equally to blame.
3️⃣ Stop normalizing fascism. When Trump calls for arresting journalist or says shit like, “poisoning the blood of our country” — call it out for what it is.
So as we begin the New Year — be on the side of the truth & democracy or we ALL lose. Thank you!”

NYC Mayor Adams is now requiring busses to notify their arrival with at least 32 hours notice! Fine and good, but they are now dropping off bus loads in NJ at random train stations! Make note I think Fanwood is around 2 square miles.. Thanks Texas gov Abbott. A message posted Sunday on the X account for Jersey City says 10 buses that departed from Texas and Louisiana have arrived across at NJ Transit train stations in towns including Secaucus, Fanwood, Edison and Trenton. It says the buses carried about 397 total migrants. “It seems quite clear the bus operators are finding a way to thwart the requirements of the executive order by dropping migrants at the train station in Secaucus and having them continue to their final destination,” Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli said in a statement posted online. www.nj.com/news/2024/01/busses-of-migrants-being-dropped-at-nj-train-stations-to-sidestep-nyc-order.html |

Note the year!!! 2017 after TFG was inaugurated! What a tangled web ..... In the wake of Donald Trump expressing his support for a replacement to the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover building to be constructed in Washington D.C., a report has resurfaced financially linking the former president to a bid to build the new structure, Newsweek reported. "The FBI headquarters should not be moved to a far-away location, but should stay right where it is, in a new spectacular building, in the best location in our now crime-ridden and filthy-dirty, graffiti-scarred, capital," Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday. "They should be involved in bringing back D.C., not running away from it." But according to an Associated Press report from 2017, a firm connected to Jared Kushner and Donald Trump Jr. was among three that bid for the contract.Virginia Democratic Rep. Gerald Connolly said at the time that Vornado Realty Trust's ties to Trump created a conflict of interest. As Newsweek points out, it's not known if Trump still has any ties to Vornado. *** www.rawstory.com/fbi-trump-building/ |

But not Fanwood, Edison and Trenton. Where are they supposed to get the money? yes I did add that to my post. I wasn’t being all that clear. I was just ruminating on my mind trying to figure it out. But Secaucus is at least a transportation hub. The other towns make no sense. I’m confused as to why Edison? I don’t know why but that struck me as weird. You can’t really get more ‘suburban’ NJ than Edison. Fanwood is just tiny, I don’t think Fanwood is even 10 blocks long. Like how did they even find Fanwood? Trenton is the state capital so that would be dropping them off on “Murphys doorstep”. Which in GOP land makes more sense than any of the others, not that Trenton as a city has the means to care for them, but it’s at least a weird GOP statement to drop them off in a blue state capital. Who is choosing these places, the bus drivers? it’s just weird. |

Vivek Ramaswamy is sure stuck on himself and thin skinned to boot!!
He will not be appearing on the CNN debate because...
***
The rest of the tweet:
- On Dec 13, CNN disgracefully cut short its own Iowa town hall with me after I correctly pointed out uncomfortable truths about Jan 6, which CNN instantly dismissed as "conspiracy theories.”
- On Dec 14, CNN then threatened my campaign on the phone with a cease-and-desist & had YouTube black out the town hall after it got 200k+ views on YouTube in a matter of hours. Yet Nikki Haley’s CNN town hall was still up after 6 months (68k total views, sad).
- Later on Dec 14, CNN notified my campaign that multiple qualifying polls, which the RNC used for each of the RNC Debates, mysteriously wouldn’t count for CNN’s fake “debate” in Iowa on January 10.
- CNN Senior Media “Reporter” Oliver Darcy wrote a newsletter that castigated his own network for "allowing [me] to infect the public with his conspiracy campaign.
- CNN Commentator Van Jones said he was “literally shaking” when he heard me speak. And my rhetoric is "one step away from Nazi propaganda."
-CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper said I delivered a "soliloquy of conspiracy theories."
-CNN Anchor Pamela Brown and “Chief Investigative Correspondent” said Vivek has a "history of peddling disinformation."
-CNN Anchor Kaitlan Collins said I use a "reasonable tone" to sell sinister lies to people "who aren't paying close attention" and might think what he is saying "maybe is legitimate."
-CNN's token “conservative” Commentator Alyssa Farah Griffin said my rhetoric is "damaging to the country."

Alex Jones is planting seeds of doubt about the CIA putting TFG name on the Epstein list . One he says TFG only has one woman at a time... Sure married to Melania, new baby, and Stormy Daniels?? Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones insisted Tuesday that the CIA may have altered Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs to smear former President Donald Trump.While waiting for a list of Epstein associates to be released, Jones prepared his audience to see Trump's name. "I will say this, if it turns out Trump ever went to Epstein Island, I will remove any support from him," Jones said. "But I know Roger Stone very well, and I know people that know Trump well, a lot of people, I'll leave it at that. I know women that have dated Trump, prominent women." "He gets devoted to one woman at a time, gets totally obsessed with them, totally nice to them," he continued. "He's a neat freak, he wants testing, he puts Purell on his hands constantly." Jones acknowledged that Trump had flown on Epstein's so-called "Lolita Express" jet years earlier. "But if they put out a client list, and that's possible that it could be fake, because Epstein's dead," Jones said. "And that's something very possible. So we'll have to decide, is it a fake list they put in, because the CIA was in charge of that with Mossad and MI6, all three of those groups that's come out were running it." www.rawstory.com/alex-jones-trump-epstein/ |

Jordan and Comer getting their wings clipped, lost another one seeking court, investigation info etc .. Washington, D.C. Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb sent a letter to Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Tuesday said that he won't be cooperating with their investigations into conspiracy theories about a far-right judicial activist."After thoughtful consideration, I must reiterate what I stated in my prior correspondence of November 13, 2023: our office has a longstanding policy—consistent with the policies of law enforcement agencies across the country—not to confirm, deny, or otherwise comment on potential or pending investigations," explained Schwalb. The lawmakers sought confirmation of, and documents related to, a "reported effort to investigate Leonard Leo and certain nonprofit organizations with which he is affiliated."Schwalb explained that refusing to confirm or deny anything preserves the integrity of the investigation. "Nothing in your latest letter sets forth a persuasive reason for deviating from that principled, well-established policy," said the letter.He also explained that Congress typically doesn't request any information from federal, state, or local law enforcement from potential or pending investigations. The approach that Congress uses typically recognizes that “such inquiries inescapably create the risk that the public and the courts will perceive undue political and Congressional influence over law enforcement and litigation decisions," he cited. Congress doesn't have unlimited power to investigate whoever or whatever it wants, Schwalb said, citing the Supreme Court. "Your December 18 letter does not recognize OAG’s legitimate law enforcement interests, nor does it identify a valid 'detailed and substantial' legislative purpose for your inquiry," he wrote. "Moreover, none of the cases cited in your letter support diverging from the legislative branch’s long-standing practice of eschewing interference in potential or pending law enforcement investigations." Read the full letter to the lawmakers here. docs.google.com/document/d/1gzLwER1P23b-oBehop73UVWm7LtIhJxXr107U5I0yEc/edit?usp=drivesdkwww.rawstory.com/leonard-leo-james-comer-jordan/ |

Mark Meadows... Mark Meadows added to his legal team a “big gun” lawyer who once refused to represent Donald Trump and with extensive Supreme Court expertise, suggesting the former chief of staff will try once again to sever his case from the former president’s, according to court records and reports. Former U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement will represent Meadows as one of 14 co-defendants in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ Georgia election interference case, according to local court filing first spotted by LawFare reporter Anna Bower and Politico’s Kyle Cheney. The filing appears in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which last month smacked down Meadow’s bid to send his criminal case to federal court. www.rawstory.com/mark-meadows-paul-clement/ |
