Lucas: Carter’s legacy on election integrity would prompt Democrats to label him ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ today

By Fred Lucas  | Commentary, Daily Signal History remembers Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency more kindly than his presidency for a host of reasons. One could certainly be that as president, Carter didn’t champion election integrity laws–but reforms such as voter ID are nevertheless a lasting part of his legacy.   It was 1977 when a young senator of Carter’s own party–Joe Biden–explained his opposition to a Carter proposal to allow Election Day voter registration. The first-term Delaware Democrat proclaimed, a “reservation I have and one that is apparently shared by some of the top officials within the Department of Justice is that the president’s proposal could lead to a serious increase in vote fraud.” But in 2005, Carter, the 39th president who ...

Jimmy Carter, 39th president of the United States, dead at 100

By Fox News Staff , Andrea Margolis | Fox News Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States and a former peanut farmer whose vision of a "competent and compassionate" government propelled him into the White House, died on Sunday, according to local media. He was 100. The news was announced by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Sunday. Carter's death follows the passing of his wife Rosalynn on Nov. 19, 2023 at the age of 96 with her family by her side at the Carter home in Plains, Georgia, just days after she had been admitted to hospice care.  The late former president himself had entered hospice care in February 2023. Carter survived for years after he had a "small mass" removed from his liver in early August 2015 and later that month announced he ha...

Bidenomics or Kamalanomics? Either way it’s the worst inflation record since Reagan sacked Carter

By Amy Furr | Breitbart Consumer prices have soared 20.2 percent since Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden took office 42 months ago, according to the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Americans continue to feel the strain of runaway inflation. That is the worst inflation record for any president since Jimmy Carter. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have spent the last three and a half years promoting the same ideas and touting the same economic programs. That’s now seen as a burden for Harris as she tries to distance herself from Biden’s unpopular programs and economy. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
