The Disqualification Section of the 14th Amendment: Implications for Trump’s Eligibility to be on Ballots
The Colorado Supreme Court blocked Trump from the 2024 ballot. This was a landmark case, but it was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Oral arguments will be heard on February 8, 2024.

Georgia Republican Legislators Want to Ban American Library Association
S.B. 390 is written to target libraries and librarians. Some Georgia Republican Senators believe the American Library Association (ALA) spreads Marxist ideology. Therefore, they want to ban the Association from the state and require all public libraries to disassociate from the ALA.

GA Senate Bill 390 is disingenuous. They are claiming the ALA is a Marxist organization without any evidence. In this post I provide evidence to refute their bill and suggest an action plan to overtake the bill.

Scott professed his love for Trump in an unbelievable remark he made in front of the cameras: “I just love you.”

How to Run Against Donald Trump
Two articles were written in the last two days leading to today’s New Hampshire primary election. I was impressed with each article and will share parts of each article below. They take on the issue of how Haley should have run against Trump in the New Hampshire primary.
Trump is an authoritarian who is following the same path as other autocratic leaders, from Mussolini to Putin. Haley must be willing to attest to the fact that Trump is an autocrat and racist, who has been charged in 4 indictments with 91 felonies, found guilty of business fraud in New York state, and found guilty of rape and sexual assault in a New York courtroom.

Exit, Maine, Mr. Trump
Maine’s Secretary of State wrote: I am mindful that no secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I am also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.”
