Trump Is Getting Active Again With Endorsements in State GOP Contests

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump is wading into contests for control of state Republican Party organizations with endorsements this week in Ohio and South Carolina that would help cement his national network of GOP allies.

Trump endorsed Bob Paduchik for Ohio Republican Party chairman in a Wednesday email blast after giving his “complete and total endorsement” Tuesday in a handwritten note to South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Drew McKissick, who is seeking re-election.

“Bob Paduchik is running for Chair of the Republican Party of Ohio. He successfully led my campaign in both 2016 and 2020, having even more success the second time around,” Trump wrote in a message blasted to reporters by Trump’s Save America PAC.

“He is outstanding in every way, and I give him my full and complete endorsement. Bob loves our country and the Great State of Ohio. He will be an outstanding Chairman!” (Read more from “Trump Is Getting Active Again With Endorsements in State GOP Contests” HERE)

WATCH: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Warns Fellow GOP Members Over ‘Betrayal’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed the 11 Republicans who voted to boot her off the House committees at a press conference Friday outside what she dubbed the “House of Hypocrites.”

The outspoken Georgia congresswoman warned her GOP colleagues that their decision on Thursday to remove her from the Education and Budget committees may come back to bite them — and the party as a whole.

“That really is a big betrayal that could cost us the majority in 2022,” she said. “I hope that my Republican colleagues really think about what they’ve done. I’m sure they’re going to hear from their voters.”

The House held the vote on Greene’s committee assignments over her past support of conspiracy theories, including the QAnon movement and saying that mass shootings were “false flag” operations carried out by gun control advocates.

POLL: Over Half of GOP Would Leave if Trump Founded Third Party

/0 Comments/in , /by

Most Republicans would quit the GOP and join a hypothetical third party started by former President Donald Trump, a new Hill-HarrisX poll finds.

According to the survey, 64% of registered Republicans said they would join a new political party if Trump founded one. No less than 32% said they would be “very likely” to join a Trump party.

Just 36% of Republicans opposed leaving the GOP for a party founded by Trump.

But it’s not just Republicans who could be swayed to a third-party movement. The survey found 28% of self-identified independents and 15% of Democrats said they would be likely to join a Trump party.

Overall, 37% of voters said if Trump starts a new political party, they’d be likely to join. (Read more from “Over Half of GOP Would Leave if Trump Founded Third Party” HERE)

‘Chaos’ in Pennsylvania State Senate as GOP Refuses To Seat Dem Declared Winner in Contested Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans in Pennsylvania’s GOP-controlled state Senate refused to seat a Democratic senator-elect on Tuesday and even moved to have the Democratic lieutenant governor booted from the chamber in a scene local outlet KDKA-TV described as “chaos.” . . .

Democrat Jim Brewster has been certified by the state as the winner of a narrow Senate race against Republican candidate Nicole Ziccarelli. But when it was time for Brewster to be sworn in along with other incoming senators in the state, Republicans intervened and refused to allow him to take the oath of office.

At the time, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D) was presiding over the chamber and protested against the GOP’s move while continuing to try to move forward with Brewster’s swearing in. Republicans reacted by passing a motion to remove Fetterman from the chair, but when the lieutenant governor refused to leave, Republicans simply spoke over him and took over leadership from another part of the chamber.

GOP Blocks $2,000 Stimulus Payments

/0 Comments/in , /by

House Republicans blocked legislation Thursday that would have sent $2,000 in direct payments to Americans, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

House Democratic and Republican leaders met early Thursday morning in a pro forma session and held a unanimous consent vote on the direct payments proposal, according to CNBC. Republican leadership voted the measure down, which required all lawmakers present to unanimously vote in favor for it to pass.

“Today, on Christmas Eve morning, House Republicans cruelly deprived the American people of the $2,000 that the President agreed to support,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. “If the President is serious about the $2,000 direct payments, he must call on House Republicans to end their obstruction.”

Pelosi said during a press conference that the House would hold a recorded roll call vote on the measure Monday, Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram reported. If succesful, the measure would alter the the omnibus bill Congress passed Monday night by changing stimulus checks sent to Americans from $600 to $2,000.

‘Deceitful Campaign Tactics to Manipulate Voters’: Democrats Aim to Create, Exploit Divisions Among GOP in Georgia Runoffs

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats from outside Georgia are actively engaged in an effort to create divisions among Republicans in the state.

The Democrats then intend to exploit those divisions to try to drive down turnout among President Donald Trump’s supporters in the runoff for the two U.S. Senate seats that will decide which party controls the upper chamber of Congress next year. Republicans, meanwhile, are pushing back on these efforts, calling them “deceitful campaign tactics” designed to “manipulate voters” in Georgia.

Really American PAC, a leftwing Super PAC that ran scores of attack ads against President Trump in the general election in 2020, is now crowdfunding on social media to fund billboards in Trump-supporter-heavy areas of Georgia to split Trump supporters from Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA). Both GOP senators are headed to Jan. 5 runoffs in the state that will determine which party controls the U.S. Senate next year. As of now, next year Republicans will have 50 seats in the U.S. Senate and Democrats will have 48. These two seats will determine which party controls the Senate, and if the Democrats take both of them—and Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is successful in challenges from President Donald Trump to election results that currently have Biden leading Trump—then the Democrats would gain control of the chamber as the would-be Vice President Kamala Harris, now a Democrat senator from California, would be the tie-breaking vote.

Republican Women Made Historic Gains in the House

/0 Comments/in , /by

A close and undecided race for president was the focus on election night. Months of both parties claiming that their candidate would deliver a blowout victory met the reality of a sharply divided country and the extended time to count ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic. While most voters focused on the White House prize, the Republican Party quietly made historic gains in the House of Representatives.

The number of women who ran for Congress this year stood at 583, which represents a 20% uptick since 2016. Although the lion’s share of the record was set by Democratic women, more than 200 Republican women entered congressional races this year, nearly 75% more than ran in 2016, according to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP).”

As of Wednesday afternoon, the House GOP added 11 women to its ranks. Considering the number of Republican females in the House only numbered 13 before election day, the nearly 100% increase is remarkable. Unsurprisingly, such gains received little attention from the crowd obsessed with gender dynamics among elected officials. In voters’ minds, these newly elected women were the best option between them and their Democratic Party opponents not because of gender but despite it.

Of these winners, five flipped Democratic seats, and by doing so, they helped reduce the Pelosi-led majority in the lower chamber. In the Democratic stronghold of Miami-Dade County, Maria Elvira Salazar defeated well-known Democratic Rep. Donna Shalala in an upset victory. Shalala may have only been a freshman representative, but she had served as the secretary of health and human services for former President Bill Clinton for the entirety of his administration. In South Carolina, Nancy Mace, notable for being the first female graduate of the Citadel, broke another barrier. On Wednesday morning, she was declared the winner against Democratic incumbent Rep. Joe Cunningham. With her victory, she will be the first Republican woman to represent South Carolina in the House. (Read more from “Republican Women Made Historic Gains in the House” HERE)

GOP Calls for Amazon to Explain Reliance on SPLC

/0 Comments/in , /by

GOP members of the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary sent a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos concerning the Southern Poverty Law Center’s relationship with Amazon Smile, a charity program that lets customers donate money to any of the acceptable nonprofits listed on the website.

In the letter, the Reps. Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Mike Johnson, Ken Buck, and others determined that Amazon’s reliance on the SPLC to decide which charities may become eligible for the Smile donation program confirms that “Big Tech is biased against conservatives and censors conservative views.”

“The exclusion of these conservative groups from Amazon’s heavily-trafficked digital platform leads to less exposure for these groups and fewer opportunities for donations,” the letter reads. “In this way, Amazon’s reliance on the SPLC as a barometer to determine the eligibility of charitable organizations on AmazonSmile serves to discriminate against conservative views.”

The letter also outlines why the SPLC is unreliable, claiming that its willingness to place some conservative groups in the same category as “actual extremist organizations” proves its untrustworthiness and unreliability. (Read more from “GOP Calls for Amazon to Explain Reliance on SPLC” HERE)

Trump Sues Iowa Counties Over Absentee Ballot Request Forms

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign and Republican Party groups are suing a third Iowa county, seeking to invalidate thousands of absentee ballot request forms that have been returned by voters.

The lawsuit against Woodbury County’s top elections official, made public Monday, expands the GOP’s efforts to make it harder for voters and local officials to handle absentee ballot requests during the pandemic.

The Trump campaign and GOP groups filed identical lawsuits last week against elections officials in Linn and Johnson counties.

At issue are absentee ballot request forms that the three counties have mailed to most registered voters pre-filled with information, including names, dates of birth and a voting pin number that few people know.

Voters just have to review, sign and return the forms to get ballots mailed to them beginning Oct. 5. More than 70,000 people have requested ballots in the three counties. (Read more from “Trump Sues Iowa Counties Over Absentee Ballot Request Forms” HERE)

New GOP Ad Issues Powerful Warning About Democrats Threatening American Culture

/1 Comment/in , /by

On Wednesday, the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) released a powerful new ad warning about vandals and rioters destroying a key monument in American culture — the presidents on Mount Rushmore. While the vandals are not likely to actually deface Mount Rushmore anytime soon, their iconoclastic movement has already targeted each of the four presidents on the monument — George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.

The ad, “Erasing History,” shows the presidents on Mount Rushmore disappearing, one by one, as vandals tarnish monuments to each of those presidents, and as “America the Beautiful” plays somberly in the background. The ad appears to be a tribute to an America not just under siege but actively being dismantled by roving bands of rioters set on damning the entire American project as an exercise in oppression.

“‘Erasing History’ is a poignant reminder about the dangers of the current ‘cancel culture,’ the threat to our nation and the rule of law posed by anarchists and lawless liberals,” RAGA Executive Director Adam Piper said in a statement. “The 2020 election will be a referendum on law and order – and the choice is clear.”

“Americans who want to protect their freedom, history, and the rule of law will vote for Republican AGs,” Piper argued, claiming that Republican attorneys general stand in “stark contrast to Democrats, complicit with today’s cancel culture and various attempts to erase Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln from our history books.”
