Trump Wins

The most brazen attempt to deny half the country their right to vote for the candidate of their choice was just shut down 9 to 0.

Liberal heads are exploding all over America today after the radical left lost its latest attempt to preserve its power at all costs. Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled 9 to 0 that the state of Colorado cannot ban Donald Trump from the ballot.
 
In their opinion, the justices declared:
 
“States have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3 with respect to federal offices, especially the Presidency… nothing in the Constitution delegates to the States any power to enforce Section 3 against federal officeholders and candidates… The judgment of the Colorado Supreme Court therefore cannot stand. All nine Members of the Court agree with that result.”
 
Dozens of similar cases have been filed all over the country. Illinois and Maine also kicked Trump off the ballot. Yesterday’s unanimous decision in Trump’s favor and against these extreme attempts to manipulate our elections is a major victory for freedom.
 
As always, it’s somewhat more complicated than the initial headlines suggest. Five conservative justices also ruled that in the federal branch, only the Congress can decide whether someone engaged in insurrection and could be removed from the ballot for that reason. (There was no insurrection, and Trump did not participate in one.)
 
In other words, they not only blocked left-wing states, they blocked left-wing federal judges, too.
 
Here’s the bottom line: the most brazen attempt to deny half the country their right to vote for the candidate of their choice was just shut down 9 to 0.
 
This attempt to stop millions of Americans from voting for their candidate was driven by the Biden, Schumer, Pelosi Democrat Party, which struts around claiming it is trying to protect our democracy.

Nothing could be further from the truth. They are the greatest threat to our democracy and our constitutional republic. And it’s not just elections.
 
Today’s political left is at war with every constitutional principle that undergirds our democratic government — free speech, the freedom of assembly, religious liberty, and our Second Amendment rights.
 
Our democracy was just protected, not by the left but by the conservative majority on the Supreme Court.
 
 
 
Trump Responds
 
Former President Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago to address yesterday’s decision. He said:
 
“I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. It was a very important decision, very well crafted, and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together…
 
"Essentially, you cannot take someone out of the race because an opponent would like to have it that way… The voters can take a person out of the race very quickly, but a court shouldn’t be doing that… I have great respect for the Supreme Court, and I thank them for working so quickly and diligently.”
 
 
 
Election Results
 
Donald Trump swept three primary contests Saturday, winning caucuses in Idaho, Michigan, and Missouri. Nikki Haley also notched her first win of the primary campaign — drum roll — the DC Swamp favors her 63% to 33%. That should tell you everything you need to know.
 
The only conservative Republicans in Washington, D.C., work for conservative organizations. The rest of the DC GOP, along with everyone else in the city, is liberal.
 
The establishment knows how much Donald Trump will disrupt the Swamp. They saw it before, and it scares the daylights out of them. They have taken the measure of Nikki Haley and know they have nothing to worry about.
 
By the way, I know some people are concerned that Trump could somehow end up destroying the GOP. I think it’s Haley who runs the greater risk of destroying the GOP and, in the process, throwing America over a cliff.
 
We have reported on how her attacks against Trump are tailor-made for Democrat attack ads in the general election. She is repeating Democrat talking points, and then they echo her talking points.
 
We also learned something over the weekend about how good her word is. At the beginning of the primary contest, the candidates were asked by the RNC to sign a pledge that they would support the eventual nominee. Haley signed that pledge.
 
But when asked about her pledge this weekend, Haley replied, “The RNC is now not the same RNC. I think I’ll make what decision I want to make.”
 
So, a change of leadership at the RNC means her pledge has been repealed? Those kinds of word games are why so many Americans are disgusted with establishment politicians.
 
 
 
Israel Under Siege
 
At the very time the Biden administration is coming down hard on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with increasing demands for a ceasefire, two of the terrorist groups Israel is fighting in Gaza are calling on Muslims to wage jihad during the holy month of Ramadan.
 
Does anybody know of another faith where a significant minority feels that the best way to honor their god in its most sacred time of the year is to kill those who don’t worship that god? It is troubling, to say the least.
 
This is the reason why we should be much more careful about immigration from Islamist nations to America. Before we accept someone who wants to come here, we should know whether that person supports the idea of his co-religionists killing people who are not his co-religionists. A nation that doesn’t bother to even check that out has a suicide wish.
 
On the ceasefire idea itself and the people demanding it, I am 100% certain that if the attack on October 7th was an all-out assault with tens of thousands of jihadists invading and Israel was losing the war, none of the people calling for a ceasefire would be doing so today.
 
The impetus behind the ceasefire is that Israel is winning.
 
Don’t forget that many of the people in these demonstrations calling for a ceasefire are the same people who tore down posters of the hostages in the immediate aftermath of the massacre.
 
This isn’t a peace movement. If it was, they’d be calling on Hamas to stop fighting and for a ceasefire in Ukraine, too. It’s a “We Like Hamas” movement.
 
 
 
Today Is Super Tuesday
 
If you live in one of the Super Tuesday states holding primary elections today, please, please, please show up and vote! The greater the number of people voting, the more it will encourage our fellow conservatives.
 
Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t assume your preferred candidate will win and that you don’t need to bother to vote. Many general elections are actually decided in the primaries.
 
There are encouraging signs that conservatives are voting in greater numbers than progressives this year. (Here and here.) So, let’s keep it going today with a massive turnout!
 
 
 
Tune In To Family Talk
 
Tune in to Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk radio show to hear my discussion with singer/songwriter Sarah Vienna, co-founder and CEO of Firm Foundations Romania. Sarah shares how she took a leap of faith 20 years ago to share the Gospel with the people of Romania, once part of the Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe.
