Arizona governor Katie Hobbs vetoes 'Alien Invasion Act' that would allow police to arrest illegal border crossers
[FoxNews] The Arizona Border Invasion Act would have made it a misdemeanor for anyone to illegally cross the border other than at a lawful port of entry and a felony for illegal migrants who cross the border after being deported.

Government Corruption
Jan. 6 Arrests Are Now Stepping Up Again
[Epoch Times] The pace of FBI arrests and the opening of new Jan. 6 criminal cases quickened so much in late 2023 and early 2024 that District of Columbia federal courts could bend under the weight.

"Every day, every day you see two or three more," Mr. Shipley said. "My own view: it’s a political operation. Just my personal opinion. I think the Department of Justice, the Biden administration, is committed to continuing to keep this story front and center for purposes of the campaign."

Mr. Shipley said there was a six- to eight-month pause in arrests and prosecutions starting in early 2023 due to the strain Jan. 6 cases put on D.C. federal courts.

Perhaps the most remarkable Jan. 6 statistic comes from jury boxes in the E. Barrett Prettyman U.S. Courthouse in Washington D.C.

Every one of the more than 100 Jan. 6 defendants who chose a jury trial were found guilty of at least some of the charges. That’s a perfect 100-percent conviction rate for federal prosecutors, a statistic cited repeatedly in change-of-venue motions. One hundred percent of those motions have been denied.

Wade made midnight visits to Fani Willis's condo prior to hiring, attorney says cellphone data show
[Washington Examiner] Special prosecutor Nathan Wade made late-night visits to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s condo prior to his hiring, an attorney for one of former President Donald Trump’s co-defendants said.

The trial surrounding Willis’s hiring of Wade has faced frequent twists and turns, with attorneys and witnesses claiming to have knowledge that would directly contradict their testimony under oath. Attorneys seeking to forbid Willis from prosecuting Trump in his Georgia racketeering trial floated the claim about midnight condo visits before, pointing to cellphone data showing Wade was in Willis’s residence’s vicinity. However, Wednesday’s offered them a different venue to reiterate the point.

Woke VA official who pushed to remove WWII kiss photo ‘mismanaged' St. Louis hospital where vets were reportedly exposed to HIV
[NY Post] She’s the kiss of death for hospitals.

The woke Veterans Affairs official who ordered hospitals take down the iconic Times Square V-J-Day kissing photo previously mismanaged a Missouri hospital so badly, she was condemned by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

Smooch-bashing VA bigwig RimaAnn Nelson headed the department’s St. Louis hospital for more than three years, during which time the facility was rated worst in the country — with patients allegedly left in their feces for days, and more than 1,800 of our nation’s heroes being exposed to HIV and hepatitis from unsterilized dental equipment, reports said.

"What happened in the dental clinic shouldn’t have ever happened," an employee told an ensuing congressional investigation.

"If people were taking their jobs seriously, not passing the buck and pointing the finger, none of this would have happened."

RimaAnn Nelson took charge of the Veterans Affairs’ St. Louis Healthcare System in late 2009. VA veterans affairs

But, despite these shortcomings, Nelson’s tenure at the Veterans Affairs’ St. Louis Healthcare System only ended when she shunted off to a VA hospital in the Philippines, according to the Daily Caller. The gig included a government-funded home and at $160,000 salary in the low-cost-of-living country.

Nelson took charge of the St. Louis VA hospital in late 2009. A few months later, federal investigators found the dental equipment "visibly dirty post-sterilization" and condemned staff for not being familiar with the department’s sterilization guidance.

When they returned to the hospital two years later, those issues were still not addressed, as administrators "did not provide the necessary level of oversight and did not routinely verify the adequacy of some practices or the accuracy of data and status reports," according to Arizona Central.

Though the foul-up potentially exposed veterans to ailments like HIV and hepatitis, none were infected, the University of Arizona’s Cronkite News reports.

But Nelson’s tumultuous tenure was not over, as employees would go on to tell a local news station that veterans were left sitting in feces for days at a time and nurses said they were retaliated against when they would speak out about the conditions, according to the Caller.

Dean Phillips drops out of 2024 race: Biden is 'our candidate'
[NYPOST] Rep. Dean Phillips
Who?
ended his unsuccessful Democratic primary challenge to President Biden on Wednesday after disappointing finishes in the party’s 16 Super Tuesday contests.

In a statement on X, the 55-year-old Phillips (D-Minn.) said he ran for president "because Americans were demanding an alternative, and democracy demands options.

"But it is clear that alternative is not me," Phillips added. "And it is clear that Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. ‘This Is A Man ThatDoes Not Seem Demented’...
is OUR candidate and OUR opportunity to demonstrate what type of country America is and intends to be."

The Democratic politician, who would have been the first Jewish president if he had pulled off an unlikely victory, first warned his supporters in November that he would end his run if his campaign is "not viable after March 5" and that he would endorse "the likely nominee — Biden or otherwise."

"I will then campaign for them as vigorously as I’m campaigning now," Phillips wrote on X. "I’m not here for games — the goal is to maximize the odds of beating [former President Donald] Trump."

The Democrat was reminded of that promise as the results rolled in Tuesday night, with Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Gov. Gavin can't be Bee'd Newsom
...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland...
publicly challenging Phillips to drop out of the race and endorse Biden.

Phillips failed to crack double-digit support in any of the 13 Super Tuesday states where he was listed on the ballot — often finishing behind self-help author Marianne Williamson
...foemer Dem presidential candidate for 2020, campaigning on a platform of Hope and Change™, massage therapy, feng shueh, incense, Love©, and half a trillion bucks in reparations to black folk...
and protest votes of "no preference" or "uncommitted."

Nikki Haley officially drops out of 2024 election, challenges Trump to win back her supporters
[NYPOST] Nikki Haley
...Trump administration's former ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems...
has ended her White House bid, virtually ensuring Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
will be the 2024 Republican nominee.

"The time has come now to suspend my campaign. I said I wanted Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that," Haley said in a speech Wednesday morning, hours after the last Super Tuesday results were tabulated.

The 52-year-old then congratulated Trump, 77, but didn’t go as far as to endorse him — instead challenging him to get her supporters on his side.

"It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support [him]. And I hope he does that," Haley said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the shootout, Butch cautiously raised his hat over the edge of the horse trough on the end of a stick......
President Biden issued an invitation to Haley voters to consider joining his campaign.

"Donald Trump made it clear he doesn’t want Nikki Haley’s supporters. I want to be clear: There is a place for them in my campaign. I know there is a lot we won’t agree on. But on the fundamental issues of preserving American democracy, on standing up for the rule of law, on treating each other with decency and dignity and respect, on preserving NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis....
and standing up to America’s adversaries, I hope and believe we can find common ground," the Democrat said in a statement.

The former South Carolina governor had said she would stay in the race if she remained "competitive," but kept a noticeably lower profile ahead of Tuesday’s contests in 15 states.

The campaign had long said Super Tuesday — where 865 GOP delegates were awarded — would be a critical point in the race and that her path to victory against Trump would be an "uphill battle." Haley barnstormed the country after suffering defeat in her home state of South Carolina on Feb. 24, telling supporters in Washington on Friday she was "going to fight for Super Tuesday."
