Maine secretary of state disqualifies Trump from 2024 ballot

 Maine's Democratic Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Thursday disqualified former President Donald Trump from the state's 2024 ballot, citing the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause.

Lawyers for Trump unsuccessfully sought to disqualify Bellows from ruling on the challenges to Trump's ballot eligibility, pointing to her past social media posts as proof she "Has already concluded that President Trump engaged in insurrection." For instance, on Feb. 13, 2021, Bellows posted on Twitter that the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot was an "Insurrection" and "An unlawful attempt to overthrow the results of a free and fair election." "One year after the violent insurrection, it's important to do all we can to safeguard our elections," she wrote on Jan. 6, 2022.

" AP "Democrats in blue states are recklessly and un-Constitutionally suspending the civil rights of the American voters by attempting to summarily remove President Trump's name from the ballot.

The Trump campaign spokesman argued that myriad 14th Amendment challenges to Trump's candidacy are "bad-faith" and "bogus," pointing to court rulings in Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Arizona, Florida, Rhode Island and West Virginia.

" Two of Trump's GOP primary rivals immediately came out and criticized the ruling by Maine's secretary of state.

"Can you have a Republican secretary of state disqualify Biden from the ballot because he's let in 8 million people illegally?" DeSantis added that he doesn't believe the Maine ruling and other challenges to Trump's ballot access will hold up in the Supreme Court.

" "The Far Left Democrat Maine Secretary of State just unilaterally removed President Trump off the ballot," Stefanik said in a statement.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
