Trump Dominates Virgin Islands Caucus with 74 Percent of the Vote.

Donald Trump won a resounding victory in the U.S. Virgin Islands caucus, earning 73.98 percent of the vote against just 26.06 percent for neoconservative rival Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley.

“I want to thank you all. We had a tremendous victory,” Trump said in a telephone call to supporters gathered in the territory’s capital, Charlotte Amalie.

“We expected to win, but we didn’t expect to win by that much. You are incredible people I will never forget,” added the former president.

The Virgin Islands GOP defied party rules to hold its caucus early to “ensure the voice” of the islanders was heard, according to local chairman Gordon Ackley.

Ackley noted that, like other U.S. territories, the Virgin Islands cannot vote in the presidential elections. An early caucus “was important” to ensure they were not overlooked, he said.

“Every state and every territory should try to make itself and its voters as relevant as possible. It’s absurd that the same couple of states have a monopoly on the calendar,” he said, referring to GOP rules allowing only Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina to hold primary or caucus votes before March 1st.

Trump won the Nevada caucus decisively the same day as the Virgin Islands caucus. A rival Nevada primary, which Trump skipped and did not award delegates, saw Haley come a distant second to a “none of the above” option.

Biden Deploys White House Hit Team to Win Back Muslim Voters in Michigan.

A significant number of senior government officials from Joe Biden’s White House are meeting with Muslim and Arab Americans in Michigan today, after polls revealed Biden’s sinking numbers with the demographic since the October 7th Hamas terror attacks and U.S. response.

The meeting will explicitly address the Israel-Hamas war and the civilian deaths in Gaza. The named officials involved include:

  • Steve Benjamin, senior adviser to the president;
  • Tom Perez, senior adviser;
  • Jon Finer, principal deputy national security adviser;
  • Samantha Power, USAID administrator,
  • Jamie Citron, principal deputy director of the Office of Public Engagement;
  • Dan Kosh, director of the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs;
  • Mazen Basraw, National Security Council director for partnerships and global engagement.

The utilization of taxpayer-funded resources to help prop up Biden’s election hopes will certainly raise eyebrows.

The same local group canceled on the Biden campaign itself last month, which has led to the White House deploying its resources to prop up the campaign’s failures. Biden has groveled to U.S. Muslims in recent months, even admitting to being “disappointed” in himself over the Israel-Hamas war response. This came after swathes of Muslim Americans said they would withhold their votes in November.

Biden also appointed radical Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud to the State Department’s Assembly of Local Leaders program. Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state as “inevitable.”

Now Biden Claims He Spoke to Dead German Chancellor at Same Summit as Dead French Prez.

Joe Biden has blundered again while describing a G7 summit in 2021, claiming Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany – who left office in 1998 and died in 2017 – spoke with him about January 6th.

Previously, Biden told an audience in Nevada he spoke to “[President François] Mitterand from Germany, I mean from France” at the G7 in Britain, in a story first reported by The National Pulse.

Press pool reporters say the 81-year-old Democrat managed to remember Emmanuel Macron was President of France when repeating the story at a subsequent fundraiser in New York but instead gaffed when he came to the Chancellor of Germany.

“Helmut Kohl of Germany looked at me and said, ‘What would you say, Mr. President, if you picked up the London Times tomorrow morning and learned that 1,000 people had broken down… the doors of the British Parliament and killed some  bobbies on the way in [to] deny the Prime Minister to take office?’ And you think, what would we think?”

Biden repeated a similar story later that day, again claiming Helmut Kohl made the remarks in 2021. In that year, Germany was led by Angela Merkel.

MSNBC: Third-Party Candidates ‘A Threat to Our Democracy.’

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday, Tara Setmayer, former CNN commentator and senior adviser to The Lincoln Project, said that third-party presidential candidates are “a threat to our democracy.”

“I think that third-party candidates are spoilers. I mean, history could potentially repeat itself again, and now more than ever, the idea of a third party is a threat to our democracy.” Setmayer remarked during a discussion about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign.

Setmayer’s assertion that giving voters in a democracy more choices in elections is a threat to democracy is odd, as The Lincoln Project is, in its own words, “dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.” Observers have noted, however, that the phrase “threat to democracy” is increasingly becoming a catchall used by globalists to describe anything with which they disagree and threatens the globalist power structure.

“You’ll see over the course of the next couple of months. Basically, everything is a threat to democracy,” National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam noted in a January interview with Steve Bannon. “The oxygen you breathe will be a threat to democracy, elections, casting your vote — that’s a threat to democracy. Every single thing that isn’t globalism writ large is a threat to democracy in their terms, in their words,” Kassam said.

In a speech marking the third anniversary of the Jan 6 riots, Joe Biden said that “democracy” is at stake in the 2024 presidential election, a sentiment echoed by Setmayer, who also said during her Wednesday MSNBC appearance that “Donald Trump is a threat to our democratic system.”

Democrat Organizer Charged with Mail-In Ballot Fraud.

Democratic Party organizer Craig Callaway, former President of the City Council of Atlantic City, has been arrested for “depriving, defrauding, and attempting to deprive and defraud the residents of the state of New Jersey of a fair and impartially conducted election process by the fraudulent procurement, casting, and tabulation of ballots. “

The Justice Department accuses the 64-year-old Democrat of approaching Atlantic City residents and offering to pay them $30 to $50 to act as “authorized messengers” for voters who “supposedly wished to vote by mail” in 2022.

Once recruited, these “messengers” would bring Vote-By-Mail Applications to county officials and have them approved. However, instead of taking the mail-in ballots officials provided to the voters on the applications, as required by law, Callaway’s messengers “handed the ballots to Callaway or his subordinates.”

“Many of the mail-in ballots collected by Callaway or his subordinates were ultimately cast in the names of people who have confirmed that they did not vote in the 2022 General Election — either in person or by submitting a mail-in ballot — and that they did not authorize Callaway, his subordinates, or anyone else, to cast ballots for them,” the Justice Department says, confirming that “[m]any of these mail-in ballots were counted towards in the election.”

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) censored social media users who questioned the integrity of mail-in voting in 2020.

Biden Govt Classes Martha’s Vineyard as ‘Low-Income’ So It Qualifies for Subsidized EV Chargers.

The Joe Biden regime has classified elite getaways, including Martha’s Vineyard, as “low-income” in an effort to qualify them for an electric vehicle (EV) charger subsidy program under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The EV charger tax credit program was supposed to allocate subsidies to “low-income” or “non-urban” areas.

An examination of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) eligibility map identified several upscale areas deemed “low-income” by the regime, allowing them to receive EV charger subsidies. To be seen as “low-income,” areas must either have a poverty rate of over 20 percent, a median income beneath 80 percent of their wider metropolitan region’s median family income, or not be linked to any particular metro area.

Somehow, affluent areas such as the resort destination of Nantucket Island and the Vineyard Haven section of Martha’s Vineyard have met these criteria. Other wealthy areas identified as “low-income” include sections of Cape Cod, areas of New York City’s Upper East Side, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, and Beverly Hills.

Biden’s former boss, Barack Obama, and his wife, Michelle, are among the best-known residents of Martha’s Vineyard, where they own an $11.75 million mansion and estate.

Netherlands STILL Has No Govt Despite Election Winner Wilders Making MASSIVE Concessions in Coalition Talks.

Attempts to form a populist-right government in the Netherlands helmed by Geert Wilders have failed despite Wilders making massive concessions to potential coalition partners.

Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) claimed victory in the country’s November parliamentary elections, campaigning on a populist platform that included cutting immigration and de-Islamification efforts. He was in talks with Pieter Omtzigt, leader of the New Social Contract party, Dilan Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, who helms the People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), and Caroline van der Plas, leader of the Farmer Citizen Movement (BBB). Were a coalition agreement to be reached, it would have given the partners a comfortable majority in the lower house of the Dutch parliament.

In January, Wilders made significant concessions to his potential governing partners, withdrawing draft legislation that included bans on mosques, Islamic schools, and the Quran.

The talks came to a premature end after Omtzigt withdrew from the process, a move that shocked Wilders, Yeşilgöz-Zegerius, and van der Plas. “Incredibly disappointing. The Netherlands wants this Cabinet and now Pieter Omtzigt is throwing in the towel while we were still in discussions until today. I don’t understand it at all,” Wilders wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday night before telling reporters Wednesday that he was “shocked and surprised” by Omtzigt’s move.

However, Omtzigt has not entirely ruled out involvement in the next government, saying that his party “continues to work constructively but carefully to form a government that effectively tackles the country’s urgent problems. This can be done, for example, by providing constructive support to a minority Cabinet or a broad extra-parliamentary Cabinet.”

REPORT: Italy’s Meloni Convinced Hungary’s Orban to Back Ukraine.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has emerged as a critical partner for European Union (EU) elites. She has reportedly turned her back on the populist-nationalist philosophy that got her elected and is working to temper other European leaders’ conservative instincts. Meloni campaigned as an anti-EU nationalist but has governed as a pro-EU moderate.

When Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban vowed to block a new round of EU funding for Ukraine late last month, Meloni stepped in and got the Hungarian leader to back down. The two leaders met for drinks just before the European Union summit, where it was believed Orban would attempt to derail the EU’s Ukraine fund. The Hungarian told Meloni he felt other European leaders singled him out over his embrace of political populism and Hungarian nationalism. Meloni played a sympathetic ear to Orban, telling him she had experienced similar ostracism.

Meloni, however, encouraged Orban to work within the EU — insisting the European political right could achieve its goals within the group rather than without. This strategy led to decades of disappointment for the United Kingdom, which voted to leave the European Union after achieving no reforms over 20+ years. Orban dropped his opposition to the Ukraine funding plan at the start of the summit on February 1st.

The European political elite increasingly sees Meloni as someone who can help diffuse and head off potential political conflicts with the continent’s increasingly nationalist political right. Over the past year, she’s backed EU-supported electric car subsidies and dropped her support for curbing legal immigration to Europe. Meloni has also established herself as one of Europe’s most hawkish leaders in support of Ukraine.

Biden WH Developing AI to Censor Americans.

The Biden regime is spending millions to create AI tools that can be used to “combat mis/disinformation” on social media, targeting veterans and people in rural communities.

The details: House Republicans released a report yesterday highlighting how the regime’s National Sciences Foundation (NSF) has distributed millions of dollars in funding to elite universities under a program called “Trust & Authenticity in Communication Systems.”

Their goal is to create tools that can identify “misinformation” that targets people with “vulnerabilities to disinformation methods.”

Who are those people with ‘vulnerabilities’? One MIT researcher on the project specifically referred to “military veterans, older adults, military families” and those in “rural and indigenous communities.” So conservatives…

  • This researcher told the NSF that “broad swaths of the public cannot effectively sort truth from fiction online.”

What sort of “misinformation” are they targeting? A researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison said they were focused on “skepticism regarding the integrity of U.S. elections and hesitancy related to COVID-19 vaccines.”

Big picture: While we don’t know what the timeline or end game is for this project, the legitimate concern is that it could be deployed by social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube ahead of the 2024 election to censor information that the regime deems unfavorable – just like they did with the Hunter Biden laptop story days before the 2020 election.

What happens next? House Republicans have subpoenaed the Biden regime agency, demanding their director Sethuraman Panchanathan “hand over all internal records discussing the suppression or restriction of online content.”

McConnell Says He’ll Cling On, Says Haters ‘Had Their Shot.’

Despite recent calls from his Republican colleagues to step down as Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has expressed his intention to remain in power.

“I’ve had a small group of persistent critics the whole time I’ve been in this job. They had their shot,” McConnell said in an interview with POLITICO, referring to Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-FL) challenge to his leadership in 2022.

Much has changed since 2022, however. McConnell now faces increasing criticism from his Republican colleagues regarding the Ukraine-Border supplemental funding bill. The Senate Minority Leader blamed the same “persistent critics” for the bill’s lack of hope of passage in the Senate.

“The reason we’ve been talking about the border is because they wanted to, the persistent critics,” said McConnell. “You can’t pass a bill without dealing with a Democratic president and a Democratic Senate.”

McConnell’s critics contend, however, that the ‘deal’ negotiated under McConnell’s watch contained nothing for Republicans to rally behind. While the ‘border bill’ provides billions of dollars in aid for Ukraine and Israel, it does little to secure the border.

“I think a Republican leader should actually lead this conference and should advance the priorities of Republicans,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)  said during a Tuesday press conference in which he called for McConnell to step down. Last year, a poll found that 75 percent of Republicans wanted McConnell to relinquish his Senate leadership position.
