Deep State, Democrats, Keep Getting Setbacks In Their Numerous Criminally Corrupt Witch Hunt Cases
In a recent development, a federal judge in West Virginia dismissed a lawsuit seeking to exclude former President Donald Trump from the state’s ballot. District Judge Irene Berger ruled on Thursday that John Anthony Castro, a little-known presidential candidate, lacked the standing to bring the lawsuit. The decision was a setback for Castro, who has filed numerous lawsuits in different states with the aim of preventing Trump from appearing on their respective ballots.
A federal judge has blocked an effort to remove President Donald Trump from the 2024 Republican primary ballot in West Virginia. The bid was pushed in a lawsuit by John Anthony Castro. Castro, who claims to be a Republican, is the little-known presidential candidate who has unsuccessfully run for several political offices- TheTexasOne
Judge Berger stated that the evidence presented by Castro indicated that his purported presidential campaign was primarily a legal strategy rather than a genuine effort to garner votes. She emphasized that Castro failed to demonstrate any significant political activity in West Virginia aside from the lawsuit he filed against Trump.
Based in Texas, Castro has initiated over two dozen lawsuits in recent weeks, attempting to remove Trump from various state ballots. This legal endeavor faced a similar fate earlier this month when a judge in Arizona dismissed a comparable lawsuit.

Castro’s argument centered on Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which declares that individuals engaged in insurrection against the United States cannot be presidential candidates. However, Judge Berger’s ruling in West Virginia echoed the sentiments of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in October, which declined to hear a similar case brought by Castro in Florida.
While a recent ruling in Colorado determined that Trump could not appear on the state’s ballots under the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, it is important to note that the Colorado case was initiated by a left-wing activist group, the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and was not brought forth by Castro. The decision in Colorado is likely to be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Judge Berger underscored the weaknesses in Castro’s case, noting that despite alleging candidacy for the Republican nomination for President in West Virginia, his lawsuit lacked specific factual details related to his candidacy. She pointed out the absence of campaign offices, staff, advertising, and minimal campaign funds, questioning the viability of Castro’s campaign.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey celebrated the court’s decision, emphasizing the victory for the rule of law. In response, Castro disputed the order on social media, expressing disagreement with the characterization of his presidential campaign as being in “bad faith” to “manufacture” standing. He criticized the system as corrupt and questioned the fairness of the judgment.
Federal Election Commission records revealed that Castro has not raised any funds from donors, and he has not gained significant recognition in national or state polls. However, this decision faced criticism from legal experts and some Democratic officials who questioned the legitimacy of using the Fourteenth Amendment to block Trump’s candidacy.

To Sum It All Up: the West Virginia court’s decision represents a legal victory for Trump, emphasizing the insufficiency of evidence and support for Castro’s claim. The article touched upon the broader context of similar legal battles across different states and the ongoing debate about the legitimacy of using the Fourteenth Amendment to disqualify a candidate from running for president. We do know that the Democrats will never stop, as they understand Trump is set for a massive landslide election. But then again, through their tricks and games and scams, the Democrats and Deep State defeated Trump’s massive landslide in 2020 as well. The courts allowed it, under pressure from the Deep State. Will this next election be a repeat and the next step toward a true American dictatorship?
The Supreme Court will need to get involved and take this Colorado case. The precedent being set is already being used by other states around the country to remove President Trump’s name from their ballots.
