Today is Super Tuesday. Fifteen states go to the polls to choose their preferred Republican Nominee for President, and the odds on favorite to win that gig is still Donald Trump, who has only lost one contest to date, and it’s the one you likely don’t want.

Nikki won in the District of Columbia. Yes, the belly of the uniparty beast. Haley scooped up 63% of swamp Republicans and all 19 convention delegates. But that was it. Trump won all 32 delegates from Idaho (84.6% of the vote), all 54 in Missouri (100%), and North Dakota (29 Delegates won with 84.6% of the vote) was last night. Trump has 279 (289, with DeSantis and Ramaswamy’s combined 13) to Haley’s 43.

According to The Associated Press, the North Dakota GOP (NDGOP) prepared 30,000 ballots for the March 4 caucuses—nearly triple the 11,300 ballots cast in 2012. ..

“[The North Dakota Legislature] eliminated the presidential primary years ago, leaving the decision of how to nominate presidential candidates to political parties.

Super Tuesday will apportion 843 more Republican delegates, so even a sweep today will not give Trump the nomination. He will need a week until March 12th (Georgia, Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington).

Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, and Ohio are the week after.

Haley has said she will remain in the race through Super Tuesday (today) but has also said she is no longer under any obligation to endorse the Republican Party nominee. I’m guessing she’s discovered that her chances of being VP have dimmed if ever there was a spark. I never thought she had a shot at either job. When the uniparty went after Trump, she picked them over America.

Trump’s campaign issued a statement shortly after Haley’s (DC) victory sarcastically congratulating her on being named “Queen of the Swamp by the lobbyists and DC insiders that want to protect the failed status quo.”

Hillary might have something to say about who the queen of the swamp might be, and Haley would likely agree. She is, after all, why Nikki got into politics if I remember correctly.

Note: Missouri reported fewer than 1000 votes in its results, and none of them were for Haley.

We have gotten to know New York Attorney General Letitia James very well, watching her sit in the courtroom of the Donald Trump trial. That was not a good thing for her or us. Listening to her prepared comments to the press and seeing her smug look as she looked on with glee was not a pleasant view into the depths of Letitia James. She had been obsessed with bringing down Donald Trump since before she began her campaign for AG. Now that she has his scalp in her bag, she must turn her attention to the rest of the state, which may not fare well for the good people of New York.

James can not be more Progressive, which does not match the more Conservative New Yorkers outside of New York City. New York is like many of our states where the Progressives gather in the metropolitan urban areas, leaving the burbs for the more Conservative. Letitia’s decisions for Manhattan will not be received with the same zeal in the Finger Lakes region. This week, she is inserting herself in another hot-button situation.

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Friday demanded that a Nassau County official immediately repeal an executive order restricting the ability of transgender women and girls to participate in athletic events at county-run facilities, arguing it is “”in clear violation”” of state law.

The news has been filled of late with young female athletes injured by transgender women (men) who are much taller, bigger, and definitely stronger than their female opponents. Last week in Massachusetts, a trans woman injured three females on the opposing team in just the first half of a high school basketball game. After the third injury, the coach of the all-female team pulled his team and forfeited the game. He did the right thing to keep his players safe from injury.

In the New York scenario, the Nassau County official made the correct decision based on protecting the vulnerable young women of the county. That decision does not align with the Progressive, Woke Attorney General, and she is insisting on rolling back any decision that interferes with the wishes of Transgender athletes.

“The law is perfectly clear: you cannot discriminate against a person because of their gender identity or expression. We have no room for hate or bigotry in New York,” James said in a statement , referring to an executive order issued last week by Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman. Blakeman’s order, which prohibits athletic events that allow transgender girls to participate in accordance with their gender identity from being held at county-run facilities, is “”transphobic and blatantly illegal,”” James said.

The Trump case was targeted and politically motivated. She has hurt Trump and the Trump Brand, but she has damaged New York even more. Companies were already hindered to set up operations in New York with its high tax rates and mounting regulations. Seeing how the NY government has been weaponized at will against someone with opposing views will have entrepreneurs and investors alike looking to Tennessee, Texas, or Florida.

Her edict on Transgender rights will set back Title 9 decades. People on the Left, like Letitia James, are seizing the opportunity to implement their evil and dangerous policies before the pendulum swings back to the Right.

Mitt Romney showed us all this week why he cannot be considered a true Conservative or even a Republican and why it is a good thing for the GOP that he will be retiring from the Senate when his term expires. Romney appeared on CNN and gave a mixed message on his view of Donald Trump. Let’s try to break it down.

There was a cursory chat about Republican policies, but then the conversation got around to Trump. It was interesting that Romney had some praise for Trump’s domestic platform but had nothing good to say about his foreign policy. This is where I believe Romney went off the rails and began to contradict himself and confuse the Biden and Trump records.

For example, Romney thinks we are safer and more of a leader internationally under Biden and that we will be an island unto our own under Trump. I completely disagree with this statement. First, Trump was the only president in the last 50 years not to involve the US in a conflict on another shore. Trump kept Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran in check for four years. Trump put pressure on NATO to anti-up on their fair share of costs. He used tariffs when necessary and made it understood that we would defend ourselves. As Reagan said, strength is the best defense. Nobody will push you if they know you will put them on their backsides. Biden and his minions have no understanding of that approach. Appeasement has us dumping billions into Ukraine, our best ally in the Middle East, being attacked on two fronts, and Iran weeks away from a nuclear missile. Biden has also destroyed our sovereignty by opening up our southern border.

Romney says it is all about character for him, and in his opinion, Trump has none. I will stipulate that no one is without sins, but to say that Biden is a man of character makes me question Romney’s acuity. Joe Biden has been using his position in Washington to enhance the Biden coffers, not to enhance the lives of Americans. Fifty years of sucking from the government dole with little to show for accomplishments. He has had two previous runs for president but had to withdraw when claims of plagiarism surfaced. He won in 2020 because of Jim Clyburn and the Democrat voting machine.

I agree with most that Trump is his own worst enemy with his mouth, but someone like Romney should recognize you measure someone by what they do, not by what they say. While Biden is showing his character, 10 million illegals have stormed our border, 300,000 have died from Fentanyl poisoning, our country is as divided as ever, and our education system is leaving every child behind. If that is what character gets us, the Mitt, stay home on Election Day and stop doing interviews. Comments like yours are music to Democrat’s ears and a sour note for every Republican.
