The horror! Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Democrats will have to defeat Trump at the poll box, not in the courthouse. So will their last weapon - President Orthopedic Shoes - be enough, asks JOSH HAMMER

HAMMER: Democrats' worst fears have finally come true. They're being coerced to win the 2024 election at the poll box, not in the courthouse. Oh, the horror! 'Ultimately, it'll be up to American voters to save our democracy in November,' dejected Colorado State Secretary of State Jena Griswold said on Monday, just hours after the Supreme Court unanimously denied her harrassed proposal to boot Trump from the state ballot.' "I do agree that states under our Constitution should be able to prohibit oath-breaking rebels from inciting oath-breaking insurrectionists,' she argued. Too bad nine justices were selected by Republicans and Democrats, who voted against it. The researchers found that a "patchwork" system of 50 politically influenced people unilaterally selecting and deciding who Americans can and cannot vote for would be an anti-democratic abomination. However, Democrats and their anti-Trump complicities were never going to let common sense get in the way of a good time, whether it's through the courts, state legislatures, Russian collusion probes, or Pink Pussy Hat marches.

With her $83 million verdict against Trump, demented Jean Carroll and her clucking Girl Power hens are going shopping, but KENNEDY insists there is only one way to punish him

KENNEDY : As an MSNBC columnist and Rolling Stone's editor-in-chief hosted a bash in Carroll's honor at a trendy Lower East Side bar, this parade of disgrace culminated in one of the most embarrassing left-wing elephant walks in history. Those who were in attendance were among the dimmest lights liberal intelligentsia has to offer, like aging sock puppet Lawrence O'Donnell. (Keith Olbermann must have been hard on Googling Ann Coulter photos) Oh, how the champagne must have been poured. They were finally able to do what democracy couldn't. They took down Trump, saved America, the planet, and the universe in a swoop. Except, of course, they did not do anything of the sort. They'll know they haven't achieved a darn thing when the Chablis buzz wears off. In fact, they've made it even more likely that Trump will rise once more - all the way to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The Big Orange honey badger's most recognizable political message has always been that the obnoxious media jet jet-setters, hedonist high society, and even the United States' court system are all stacked against him.

He has been off the air completely since July 26, after a brief stint on radio.

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 19, 2022
In an interview on Sunday, the network's chief executive addressed his reaction to the network's featured voices after being selected to take the reins this year. Since being pushed by Licht, who has encouraged hosts such as Don Lemon and Jim Acosta away from opinionated reporting, which has been particularly prevalent during Donald Trump's campaign and presidency, he has seen a string of dramatic shifts. Licht has redesigned the newsroom with a series of recruitment, firings, and on-air shuffles, which have seen him condemned by left-wingers like ex-colleague Keith Olbermann (bottom right) and gun activist Sharron Watts (bottom right). Licht, 51, responded to the disapproval on Sunday by denying plans such as lemon's removal from primetime and tagging Jake Tapper to temporarily fill Chris Cuomo's old slot, a failed experiment that lasted just a month.
