Republican Voters Turn On Mitch McConnell And Want Him Gone NOW
A huge majority of Republican voters - 75% - now say that Mitch McConnell is unfit for office and they are calling on him to resign. These are Republicans, not Democrats and Independents, that are calling for him to get out of office today, and that says a lot about what's happening in their Party. McConnell has been a thorn in the side of the MAGA movement for a long time, and they now see that they have a chance to get him out without guilt. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Trump Goes Nuts After Conservative Outlets Point Out How Unpopular He Is
Donald Trump went completely ballistic after The Wall Street Journal and Fox News pointed out over the weekend that he is old and unpopular with American voters. Trump lashed out on Truth Social, claiming that he is the most popular Republican ever and talked about how he's destroying his Republican opponents, but that wasn't the point of the conservative outlets' criticism - they were talking about how unpopular he is among ALL voters, and you can't win elections with those numbers. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Judge Humiliates Trump In Court And Moves His Case To Unfriendly Court
A federal judge in Florida had no choice but to humiliate Donald Trump with his recent ruling as Trump seeks to sue legendary journalist Bob Woodward for $50 million for violating copyright. Trump had filed the lawsuit in Pensacola, Florida, even though none of the damages took place here, and none of the parties in the suit reside here. Trump went "forum shopping" for a conservative venue, and the judge smacked that down and sent the case to Trump's least favorite district - New York. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Republican Governor Warns Party That The 'Trump Brand' Is A Political Loser
New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu (a Republican) didn't hold back in a recent interview where he warned both the Republican Party as a whole, and voters specifically, that the "Trump brand" was a political loser for Republicans. He pointed out that Democrats are over-performing in races for everything, including school boards, and Republicans who tie themselves to Trump are getting routinely beaten down. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains why the Republican governor is right, and why Republicans still don't care.

Polls Prove That Indictments Have Virtually Guaranteed That Trump Can't Win In 2024
Donald Trump says that the indictments against him have bolstered his poll numbers, but he might want to actually look at the polls before he makes such bold statements. According to a major new poll, Independents across the board are abandoning Donald Trump due to the indictments, and they believe that the investigations have been fair - proving they don't buy into the "weaponization" defense that Trump is using. Furthermore, a majority of the country thinks that Trump should go to jail if he is convicted. Those numbers are difficult - almost impossible - to overcome, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Biden Won Republican Debate With Three Simple Words
Even though President Biden wasn't on the debate stage with the Republican also-rans this week, he was able to win the debate with a three-word post on X (formerly Twitter) following the chaos on stage. Biden shared a clip of Nikki Haley trashing Trump for exploding the deficit, and Biden's account posted the video with a three-word caption that said "What she said." Even some of Biden's detractors praised the move as smart, showing how impactful a small statement can be. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Trump Allies Panic As Nikki Haley 'Surges' In The Polls
Donald Trump's allies are sounding the alarm bells over the fact that Nikki Haley is, in their words, "surging" in the polls. Haley saw a nice bounce in her poll numbers after last week's debate, but she's still polling in the single digits and is dozens of points away from Trump. The alarm isn't so much about Haley catching up to him, it is about the fact that he is not invincible, and he needs to start acting like a candidate. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

New Poll Says Biden is Too "Senile" To Be President
If Democrats think that Donald Trump’s legal problems mean that President Biden will cruise to an easy victory, they’d better think again. A new poll shows that a majority of Americans – including a large majority of Democrats – think that President Biden’s age is such an issue that they believe he can’t even be effective if he wins re-election. Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more.

Trump Issues Ominous Threat Against Democrats As Indictments Drive Him Mad
Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats this week as his indictments continue to drive him further into madness. In a post on Truth Social, Trump issued a threat against Democrats, telling them to "be careful what you wish for" after he accused them of using indictments to try to interfere with his presidential campaign. It isn't exactly clear what Trump is alluding to with his threat, but given the mental status of his base, it probably isn't good. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Trump Says He'll Definitely 'Lock Up' His Political Enemies If He Wins Election
During an interview with Glenn Beck this past week, Donald Trump didn't hesitate to say that he would "lock up" his political enemies and opponents if he wins the White House in 2024. This isn't surprising, as multiple allies close to Trump have already made it clear that a second Trump term in office will be little more than a revenge tour where anyone that has ever wronged him (in his mind) will be facing investigations. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what we can expect.

Judge Tells Banks They Can't Hide Their Trump Documents
The judge overseeing the upcoming trial against Donald Trump and his children brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James told banks and insurers this week that they can't keep their documents in the case hidden from the public. The groups had filed a motion to keep the materials under seal, but the judge refused to grant that request. There's a good reason why the banks and insurers don't want their deals with Trump to be made public, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Republican Group Airs Scathing Anti Trump Ad On Fox News
A conservative group called The Republican Accountability Project has produced a scathing ad against Donald Trump that they have begun airing on Fox News. The decision to advertise on Fox was an easy one - it was the most efficient way to get their message to the people who need to hear it the most. But we always need to be cautious about praising groups like this because we do NOT have anything in common with them other than our disdain for Trump and his policies.

Indicted Trump Lawyer Demands Court Tell Him Identities Of Un Indicted Co Conspirators
Former Trump lawyer, and current Trump co-defendant, Kenneth Chesebro is demanding that the court in Georgia unseal the names of dozens of un-indicted co-conspirators. Chesebro claims in a legal filing that the names are super important because he needs them in order to prove that there was no conspiracy. That makes absolutely no sense - but that's what you can expect when you have absolutely no real legal defense for what you've been accused of doing.

Judge Smacks Down Former Trump Adviser's Claim And Orders Trial To Start Next Week
Donald Trump's former trade adviser, Peter Navarro, suffered a massive loss in court this week when the judge overseeing his contempt of Congress trial said that Navarro has not proven his only legal claim. Navarro had argued for the charges to be dismissed because he said that he had "executive privilege" to refuse to testify (and to refuse to release documents to the January 6th Committee), but the judge informed him that he has no evidence to back up that claim.

Fani Willis Sticks It To Trump By Requesting Speedy Trial For ALL Defendants
In court filings this week, Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis petitioned the judge to fast track the cases of ALL the Georgia defendants, including Donald Trump. This motion was filed in response to several defendants already making that request, and now it puts Trump on the hot seat to either go along with the motion or try to delay his case as long as possible - and that will carry huge risks for him, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Biden Prepares To Extend Overtime Pay To Millions Of Workers
The Biden administration has proposed a new rule that would extend overtime pay to millions of workers across the country. The rule would raise the cap on income, from $35,000 to $55,000, for salaried workers. These workers currently can be required to work more than 40 hours per week without additional compensation, and the new rule will put an end to that. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the significance of this rule.

2024 campaign, and it is absolutely "horrifying",

coming from. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses
