A historic statewide election defeat has some Wisconsin Republicans calling for the ouster of state GOP Chair Brian Schimming, which would amount to a dramatic shakeup in a battleground state once dominated by a hyper-effective GOP party machine. Tuesday night’s state Supreme Court race saw liberal judge Chris Taylor trounce conservative appeals court judge Maria Lazar by a margin of more than 20 points. The scope of that defeat in the closely divided swing state — the latest in a string of recent GOP losses — is fueling calls from a growing number of party insiders that the affable Schimming,…

Nicaragua’s communist Daniel Ortega regime is concealing from its official statistics the nearly 30 percent Gross Domestic Product (GPD) contribution that remittances add to the nation’s ailing economy, the newspaper Confidencial reported.

Far-left efforts to overturn a Trump-backed, Republican-drawn congressional redistricting map in Missouri have been repeatedly smacked down in federal courts as midterm elections draw closer.  Democrats and left-wing activists have tried numerous legal routes to defeat the map, which was passed by the GOP-dominated state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Mike Kehoe (R-MO) last September before going into effect in December. The bill, called HB1, codified new district lines that could net House Republicans an additional seat in what is expected to be a tight election season. Missouri has six Republicans and two Democrats in the House of Representatives.…
