New in PJ Media:
Relax: that sound is not an earthquake, it’s Chris Christie to the rescue, hurrying to save us all from what he calls the “misery” of another Trump presidential term. You remember that “misery”: low gas prices and inflation rates, reviving American industries, peace in Ukraine and Israel, a reasonably secure border — that’s right, it was sheer hell. And now Chris Christie is going to do all he can to make sure we don’t have to suffer through all that again.
The UK’s Guardian reported Friday that Christie, after failing abysmally to arouse any interest in his presidential candidacy among Republicans, “refused to rule out running on a third-party No Labels ticket.” The Guardian opines that this is “a step most observers rate more likely to damage Joe Biden than Donald Trump,” but Christie himself doesn’t see it that way. The zaftig former New Jersey governor said instead, “You know, I think the way I would look at it is, I will do whatever I can to try to make sure that the country doesn’t go through what I think will be the misery of a second Trump term.”
Wow, thanks, Chris, but of course if you save us from “the misery of a second Trump term,” we’re going to get the exponentially greater misery of a second Biden term, with all the anti-Americanism, socialism, mass migration, inflation, and curtailing of the freedom of speech that four more years of the Biden regime would without any doubt bring upon the American people.
The typically mercurial Christie called No Labels “a fool’s errand” last year, but more recently he was eager to walk those words back: “What I’ve said in the past, is that I’d have to see a path for anybody, not just me, but I think anybody who would accept that would need to see a path to 270 electoral votes. If there was ever a time in our lifetime when a third-party candidate could make a difference, I think it’s now. The question, though, is what kind of difference.”
Christie bases his notion that he could be that third-party candidate who makes a difference upon an indifferent and corruption-plagued stint as New Jersey governor, plus the one successful moment of his brief and disastrous 2016 presidential campaign when he humiliated and mocked Marco Rubio for repeating some campaign patter that Rubio had memorized. As a flustered Rubio struggled to get his bearings and kept repeating the same words, Christie taunted him, saying: “There it is — the memorized 25-second speech.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Sad to say the US and Europe are,due to poor governmental management ,severely damaged.Breaking down things that work and replacing it with what sounds good,Concocted by the results of 3o years increasingly lowered standards for academical qualifications and rights, free thinking,personally responsibility Universities in the US and Europe before the bastions of free speech and open discourse,now gone no respect. Frankly do we in the west deserve better, the west to day had before a backbone now instead a line of snot

The fatman is just trying to get as much money from donations from rich democrats who hate Trump. Christie could not win in any kind of election (he is hated in his home state of New Jersey by both democrats and republicans’) ,the only thing he could win at this point is a pie eating contest. .I think he last about 15 minutes in the Trump administration in Jan. 2017 before he got the boot. I remember him him going to a state run beach and hanging out there with his family. when all the other regular citizens where ban during the China flu ( he was protected by state Trooper) .I remember him hugging Obama and kissing his ass for sandy funds .I remember bridge gate (GW bridge ) when he punish a northern New Jersey town because he disliked a mayor who was not kissing his fat ass hard enough. The only person punished for that was a secretary who work for Christie who went to jail for that. She had no power over the governor,s decision to punish a whole town for a pissing contest between the mayor and his fat lordship.

Christie was an effective NJ Governor – and the minor dustup regarding the GW bridge involved minor players in his administration – and was not a big deal for other than NYT and WaPo writers – ohhh … and also CNN and their like.
Christie has the experience to go forward – but, in my opinion, the national media will do their best to crucify him and any candidacy he pursues.

This guy is a male of foul mouth, and one who verbally abused all who questioned his selection of a judge in a NJ court because the guy he wanted was mozlum.
He was all for condemning the “phobia” and used foul words to vent his “outrage.”
And he couldn’t wait to hug the mozlum in chief….bo….and salivate at the media exposure.
The chair in the Oval Office would have to be replaced if he managed to get there. And none of his hats would fit afterward.

I believe gov. Rotund also recommended Christopher Wray to Trump for FBI director –a complete disaster.

I’d say – don’t worry about the “No-labels” ticket. Essentially, it’s a bunch of never-Trumpers who are only there b’cos Biden has been such a fiasco. Otherwise, they simply wouldn’t exist. All the people in that movement are the RINOs and Neocons on the GOP side, and the centrist establishment on the (D) side – the Joe Manchins, the Kirsten Sinemas and so on. Of these 2, I can see a good portion of the latter’s vote base go to RFK
So essentially, if there is a “No-lables” ticket, be it Christie or Haley or Pence or anybody else, all that they will be doing is giving those Neocons and RINOs, who were never gonna vote for Trump anyway, an alternative to Biden. So let them put up a candidate, by all means! In fact, run them in all the 6 battleground states, and let’s see whose chances you manage to spoil!

I see that Chris Christie still inhales 12 packs of Krispy Kremes…
