“I do not reach this conclusion lightly‚” says Sec. of State Shenna Bellows. "I am also mindful‚ however‚ that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection." Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State unilaterally removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot pending a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to block Trump from elections. Without a judge‚ jury‚ or due process‚ Sec. of State Shenna Bellows removed Joe Biden’s biggest political rival from her state’s 2024 ballot on Wednesday. “I do not reach this conclusion lightly‚” Bellows wrote in her 34-page decision. “I am mindful that no Secretary of State has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment. I am also mindful‚ however‚ that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection.” Secretary of State Shenna Bellows issued this decision regarding three challenges brought by Maine voters to the nomination petitions of Donald J. Trump for the Republican primary for the President of the United States.

Trump’s team called Bellows a “virulent leftist hyper-partisan Biden supporting Democrat” who is running interference for “Crooked Joe Biden.” This is Shenna Bellows‚ the Maine Secretary of State who just removed Trump from the ballot.She said the right of every American to vote freely and fairly is the premise of our democracy.By her own standards‚ she is the real threat to our democracy! pic.twitter.com/V66SWbVxUC— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) December 29‚ 2023 “The Maine Secretary of State is…a virulent leftist hyper-partisan…who has decided to interfere in the presidential election on behalf of Crooked Joe Biden.

Make no mistake‚ these partisan election interference efforts are a hostile assault on American democracy. Biden and the Democrats simply do not trust the American voter in a free and fair election and are now relying on the force of government institutions to protect their grip on power.” Trump’s statement also highlighted that similar efforts to weaponize the 14th Amendment have been overturned in Michigan‚ Arizona‚ Florida‚ Rhode Island‚ and West Virginia. “We will quickly file a legal objection in state court to prevent this atrocious decision in Maine from taking effect‚ and President Trump will never stop fighting to Make America Great Again‚” Cheung concluded. Bellows unilateral decision to remove Trump from Maine’s ballot also appears to contradict remarks she has repeatedly made about “democracy” in the past. “It shouldn’t be up to the Governor or any other one person whether or not you have the right to vote‚” Bellows wrote on X last March in response to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin changing state policy to restore the voting rights of convicted felons.

Meanwhile‚ Democrats in New York and California are also scheming to keep Trump off their respective state’s 2024 presidential primary ballots on behalf of Joe Biden.

Trump's Parable of the Snake lays out the dangers of opening up a nation's borders to the entire world. Alex Jones presents President Trump warning of the dangers of mass illegal immigration through the parable of the snake. Trump Releases New Version of His Famous Snake Poem:

If you are trying very hard to ignore any evidence of the supernatural‚ you are probably not going to like this article.  Our society has trained us to view literally everything through the lens of Darwinism.  Therefore‚ any supernatural events that may happen are to be regarded with extreme skepticism or are to be ignored entirely.  In other words‚ if there isn’t a perfectly acceptable natural explanation‚ it didn’t happen.  Those that reject the supernatural are thought to be “reasonable”‚ while those that openly talk about supernatural things are thought to be “unreasonable”.  But the truth is that supernatural events really are happening around us all the time.  We just need to open up our eyes and acknowledge them. Right now‚ a story about a woman that was raised from the dead at a hospital in Kansas is being shared on several prominent Christian news websites… A medical doctor is testifying that a woman was raised from the dead by the power of prayer hours after emergency room staff had done everything they could to revive her. Dr. Landon D. Vinson‚ M.D.‚ an emergency room doctor at the Coffeyville Regional Medical Center in Coffeyville‚ Kansas‚ recently told members of the First Assembly of God about the miracle he witnessed along with their pastor‚ Rev. Randy DePriest. In a video posted to YouTube‚ Vinson gives his testimony to the congregation. It was during the spring of 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when an unnamed woman was taken to the emergency room in Coffeyville. She was receiving CPR when she was brought into the emergency room and was given CPR for an entire hour after arriving. But she had died. She was dead. In fact‚ she was dead for quite a while. But then a pastor arrived and the prayers began. Before too long‚ she had been brought back to life… “We began to pray over her‚” the doctor recalled. “My head was bowed. There was a nurse in the room. Maybe just a couple minutes into the prayer‚ a machine began sounding an alarm. I thought I would just turn it off so it would not be distracting. When I looked up‚ spontaneous breath began coming back. I saw a hand moving on this woman.” As the pastor prayed over her‚ he began to ask her questions. She started nodding her head and responding. He called her by name‚ and said‚ “This is Pastor Randy‚ and I’ve come to pray for you.” Her eyes opened‚ and he asked‚ “Can you hear me okay?” She nodded‚ “Yes.” This kind of thing actually happens a lot. One of my favorite testimonies comes from a former law enforcement officer in Virginia named Marty Breeden… On July 17‚ 2015…While being attended to at the hospital I went into “Acute Respiratory Failure” I stopped breathing on my own and went CODE BLUE!!! I would go CODE BLUE yet again within 48 hours!!! I had an Emergency Tracheostomy in an attempt to save my life. My heart went into Atrial flutter. 3 weeks on a respirator to sustain my life. I had to learn how to walk again‚ talk again and swallow again. It was a long recovery. At the time I was tired and weary. My life had drifted far from the God of my youth. No one less worthy than me and the Lord could have let me perish in that state…..BUT GOD! As most of you know‚ I was IMMEDIATELY ushered into the Presence of God. His voice as the echo of the ages said‚ “MY CHURCH DOES NOT REALLY BELIEVE THAT I’M COMING BACK SOON!!!” I was given this message and more from the Lord and was sent back and told to “Tell those things which you have heard!” I’ve tried to be faithful to do just that! Are all of these people just imagining that they died and came back to life? Of course not. But the mainstream media will never feature such stories because they are strong evidence that the God of the Bible is real. In other cases‚ supernatural events point to the reality of the forces of darkness. Earlier today‚ I came across a video that supposedly shows a man in Minnesota being “attacked by an unknown demonic entity” while he was asleep. A Minnesota resident was attacked by an unknown demonic entity while sleeping. It all started when he used an Ouija board‚ just out of curiosity‚ after a few days he began to sleep restlessly and have terrible nightmares. But what was recorded on the home camera is not… pic.twitter.com/8UNsnRMQUz — Jack Straw (@JackStr42679640) December 28‚ 2023 I don’t know where that video originated. But I do know that the forces of darkness are very real. And they are becoming increasingly active all over America. In fact‚ yet another public school has approved the creation of an after school “Satan Club”… “High School Satan Club” will now be included among the extracurricular offerings at Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas after the school district gave the greenlight for its creation. The club’s approval comes amid growing opposition from other students and parents with concerns about kids being encouraged to worship Satan. Of course your kids don’t have to actually attend such a club in order to be exposed to occult material. All they have to do is sit down and turn on Netflix. Over in China‚ they are trying to raise an entire generation that doesn’t know anything about God at all. Chinese children have been banned from attending religious services since 2017‚ and government agents actually monitor church services to make sure that this is enforced… Chinese children have been barred from attending religious services and engaging in religious activities since 2017. Before Xi came to power‚ children during the era of former President Hu Jintao were allowed to attend Sunday School. Now‚ under Xi‚ many parents of kindergartners and middle schoolers must sign and submit a “pledge to not believe in religion” to their children’s schoolteachers. Government staff monitors to make sure no child enters places of worship. Protests by parents who say they cannot leave their children home alone go unheard. To bypass these restrictions‚ many churches secretly host Sunday School in member’s homes. We really are living in the end times. Even though there is so much evidence for the Christian faith all around us‚ the world hates Christianity and is trying to stamp it out in thousands of different ways. But no matter how hard they try‚ they will never be able to defeat us‚ because the truth always wins in the end.

In this season of giving‚ I’ll donate to The Doe Fund‚ a charity that helps drug abusers and ex-cons find purpose in life through work. Doe’s approach doesn’t include many handouts. It’s mostly about encouraging people to work.“Work works!” they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don’t go back to jail. I’ll also donate to Student Sponsor Partners‚ a nonprofit that gives scholarships to kids from low-income families so they can escape bad public schools. SSP sends them to Catholic schools. I’m not Catholic‚ but I donate because government-run schools are often so bad that Catholic schools do better at half the cost. Thanks to SSP‚ thousands of kids escape poverty. Yet some on the Left say giving time and money to charity is a mistake. Their trust in government leads them to think that government programs are much better at lifting people out of poverty. “Charity can distract from permanent solutions‚” claims an article in the Harvard Political Review. “Time‚ effort and funding that are funneled into charitable acts could be redirected to actual solutions spearheaded by the government‚ which has the resources to implement concrete change.” Yikes! Yes‚ government has “resources‚” all of which are taken from taxpayers by force. “Concrete” is fitting because government’s “solutions” are rigid and immovable. But as far as promoting change that’s actually useful‚ government has a terrible track record. Before Lyndon Johnson launched his “War on Poverty‚” Americans were lifting themselves out of poverty. Every year‚ the poverty rate dropped. When welfare checks began‚ progress continued for about seven years. But then progress stopped! Progress stopped even as America spent $27 trillion on its “war.” What happened? Government handouts changed people’s thinking. They taught millions of Americans: You are entitled to a check. No longer was it individuals’ responsibility to help families‚ neighbors‚ and ourselves; now it was clearly government’s job. The result is that people became dependent on handouts. Government rarely teaches people to be self-sufficient; handouts encourage you to be helpless. Welfare created something never seen before in America: a near-permanent “underclass.” Welfare told parents: Don’t get married; you’ll lose benefits. Don’t work; your check will be reduced. Above all‚ make sure the father isn’t home when a welfare worker comes. If he is‚ your check may be reduced or eliminated. This changed incentives that motivated parents for generations. The result has been ruinous for millions of children. Charities aren’t perfect‚ but they are much more efficient and effective than clumsy government. Charities have the freedom to be selective. They can help people who truly need aid‚ but also refuse charity to people who need “a kick in the butt.” Government’s one-size-fits-all rules prohibit that. Charity is not guaranteed forever. People don’t know how long they can expect to receive assistance. They have an incentive to become self-sufficient. In addition‚ while charities actually give most of their money to the needy‚ government doesn’t. America’s constantly growing welfare workforce today is so bloated that 70% of welfare money now goes to the bureaucrats! As usual‚ big government is the problem rather than a solution. Americans are generous. Most of us donate to charities‚ many of which will provide more permanent help to the needy than government ever will. Ideally‚ America would shrink government and lower taxes so more of us would have money to spend how we want. For most‚ that means giving to those in need. To help people‚ we need more rich people. If only there was a system that made people richer … Oh‚ right! There is—capitalism! Over the past 30 years‚ more than a billion people climbed out of extreme poverty‚ thanks to free markets. As capitalism makes us richer‚ we each have more opportunity to help others in need. COPYRIGHT 2023 BY JFS PRODUCTIONS INC. The Daily Signal publishes a variety of perspectives.

Maine’s Democrat Secretary of State Shenna Bellows on Thursday removed Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot. Bellows cited the ‘insurrection clause’ from the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. “Specifically‚ I find that the declaration on his candidate consent form is false because he is not qualified to hold the office of the President under Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment‚” the order read. BREAKING:: Maine Secretary of State says Donald Trump is ineligible to appear on 2024 ballot pic.twitter.com/z1cQ9KQfqk — ALX (@alx) December 28‚ 2023 From CNN: The decision makes Maine the second state to disqualify Trump from office‚ after the Colorado Supreme Court handed down its own stunning ruling that removed him from the ballot earlier this month. The development is a significant victory for Trump’s critics‚ who say they’re trying to enforce a constitutional provision that was designed to protect the country from anti-democratic insurrectionists. Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows‚ a Democrat‚ issued the decision Thursday after presiding over an administrative hearing earlier this month about Trump’s eligibility for office. A bipartisan group of former state lawmakers filed the challenge against Trump. Bellows’ decision can be appealed in state court‚ and it’s all but assured that Trump’s side will challenge this outcome.

Unlike other states‚ where plaintiffs have sued over Trump’s eligibility in court‚ Maine’s system first allows the secretary of state to weigh in. Challengers can then appeal in state court. In response to three petitions challenging Trump’s ballot eligibility‚ Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows‚ a Democrat‚ is set to issue a decision in the coming days. On Wednesday‚ Trump’s lawyers wrote Bellows a letter demanding she disqualify herself over three tweets she previously issued referencing Jan. 6‚ including those in which she described the attack as an insurrection. The 14th Amendment prohibits someone from holding “any office … under the United States” if they “engaged in insurrection” after taking an oath to support the Constitution. “Using similar language‚ the Challengers have claimed that the events of January 6‚ 2021‚ constituted a violent insurrection and that President Trump somehow poses a danger from which Maine voters must be protected. Thus‚ the Secretary has already passed judgment on the Challengers’ core assertions‚” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the letter. In related news‚ Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswol announced Thursday Donald Trump would remain on the presidential ballot after the Colorado Republican Party filed its appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. On Wednesday‚ lawyers for the Colorado Republican Party asked the high court to overturn the Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling to boot Trump off the ballot under the ‘insurrection clause’ of the U.S. Constitution. Griswold said Trump will stay on the state’s ballot “unless the U.S. Supreme Court declines to take the case or otherwise affirms the Colorado Supreme Court ruling.” BREAKING: Colorado Secretary Of State Announces Trump Back On Ballot‚ Awaits Supreme Court Decision Read the full order HERE.
