2022 british election

The power of the Trump endorsement is waning and nowhere was it more apparent than last night’s Georgia Republican primary runoffs. The former president has struggled to translate his endorsements into victories for a GOP seeking electoral gains in the 2022 midterm elections. Trump’s endorsement has been a boon for some primary candidates — most notably J.D. Vance in Ohio — but it’s far from a golden ticket as the party works to find common ground between factions bitterly divided over the future of American conservatism. In Georgia, Trump-backed candidates floundered in their runoff elections. In GA-10, former Democratic state representative-turned Trump Republican Vernon Jones was trounced by Mike Collins, suffering a nearly 50-point loss. In GA-06, the Trump endorsement more than failed to pull Jake Evans across the finish line. He lost by more than 40 points to Rich McCormick. In Alabama’s Republican primary runoff, former lobbyist Katie Britt defeated … [Read more...] about Trump-Endorsed Candidates Can’t Stop Losing Primaries

Federal authorities on Wednesday raided the Virginia home of former Trump Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the push to overturn the results of the 2020 election. News of the raid was reported Thursday afternoon and confirmed by a U.S. attorney’s office spokesperson. Clark is a key player in Trump’s effort to leverage the Justice Department to help him stay in office. Investigators believe Clark may have used his former position as an assistant attorney general for the environment and natural resources to persuade election officials in battleground states to change their states’ results in favor of Trump. According to The New York Times , in Dec. 2020 Clark helped draft a letter to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp baselessly claiming that the Justice Department had identified “significant concerns” about election results in Georgia, and advised Kemp to create “a separate slate” of electoral college electors … [Read more...] about Feds Raid Home of DOJ Official Trump Wanted to Elevate to Help Overturn Election

“Just say it was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressmen.” This is how former acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue said former President Donald Trump responded when then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen told him that the Justice Department “can’t and won’t snap its fingers and change the outcome of the election.” The account of the Dec. 27 call between the former president and the upper rungs of the Justice Department came on Thursday during the Jan. 6 committee’s fifth public hearing, which is focusing on Trump’s campaign to corrupt the DOJ into helping him overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Jan. 6 committee displayed a bombshell email on Thursday revealing that Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) emailed the White House five days after the attack on the Capitol asking for a pardon for himself and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), as well as “every Congressman and Senator who voted to reject the electoral college vote submissions of Arizona and Pennsylvania.” The blanket pardon would have preemptively exonerated the 147 Republicans who voted against the certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory in the event that wrongdoing was discovered in subsequent investigations. January 6th committee details a request from Mo Brooks on behalf of Matt Gaetz for a pardon, and discussions of a blanket pardon for all those involved. pic.twitter.com/UKR5GHEUan — nikki mccann ramírez (@NikkiMcR) June 23, 2022 Rep.

So far, the year 2022 hasn't been kind to the Hindi Film Industry both in terms of the reviews as well as the box office numbers. With the audience turning towards pan-India releases like SS Rajamouli's period magnum opus RRR and Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2 to quench their thirst for escapist, larger than life cinema, Bollywood saw more misses than hits. In such times, Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 turned out to be a major relief for the Hindi Film Industry as it was well-received both by the critics and the audience. At the moment, Raj Mehta's Jugjugg Jeeyo is also faring decently when compared to some of the major disappointments this year. Taking a look back at the last six months, we list down the Hindi films which took away some of our brain cells with their ridiculous plots, bad execution or mediocre performances.
