Original Article

Former Vice President Pence is once again at odds with his one-time boss, former President Trump. Pence on Monday endorsed real estate developer and Arizona Board of Regents member Karrin Taylor Robson in next month’s GOP gubernatorial primary in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Doug Ducey. (snip) Taylor Robson is one of the two polling front-runners in the Republican primary in a field of four candidates, along with former TV news anchor Kari Lake, who for months has been supported by Trump.

Pence is stooge and Fox News sucks. FTA: the former president’s unproven claims that the 2020 presidential contest was "rigged" and "stolen." Right and I'm Santa Claus - how much evidence do they need that poopy pants (a man who couldn't fill a phone booth in a rain storm didn't get 81 million votes?)

We now know under President Trump, Birx lied, Fauci lied and General Milley directed the military to disobey direct orders. Our government went rogue well before November 3, 2020. Stealing the election was the final act of their coup. My question now is did VP Pence know about these lies or was he approving any of these subversive actions behind the President’s back?

Pence has already reached the pinnacle of his political career. As described in The Peter Principle, he has ascended to his level of incompetence and has no where left to go except down. He will remain the darling of Never Trumpers but no one else.

He will do this. He and his soulmate Karen were neve fans of Trump and Melania. (Pretty simple to figure out. Jealousy and loyalty don’t mix) Now he thinks he is carving his own separate identity. Before Tump he had none. Boring little man with boring little wife.

It would appear that Pence lacks in the independent political wisdom and instincts to understand where exactly he is. Without Trump, he's just a guy who has some appeal as a second choice for evangelicals. As a leader he would be weak and defer to the Senate. He can get votes as a trump alternative, but not as a never trumper.

I'm a Zonie as well and this contest is turning into quite a problem. If you haven't seen Lake's ad where she literally takes a sledgehammer to the media, I highly suggest you google some variant of Kari Lake sledgehammer. It's extremely effective because she KNOWS what she's talking about having been a news anchor for 25+ years. She's identified the problem all right, but unfortunately the MEDIA is not who she is running against. She has ZERO political experience---ZIP. So she is carefully trying to run an aggressive campaign with as few public appearances as possible. She's very vulnerable in this area but the Pence-endorsed woman running against her is now facing claims that she was a big Obama financial supporter. Stay tuned.

Why is this about Pence and Trump when it should be about Robson and Lake? #15, if you had doubts (was just with far flung mostly R, mostly conservative family in Az for funeral for a couple days - I got an earful of legitimate reasons for those doubts!) you seem to have chucked any consideration of Robeson for Lake because of Pence. Is that a thoughtful, honest consideration or a knee jerk reaction? I didn't get to hear what was good about her, or anything about Robeson in our discussions. Because I left Az before we could further the political discussion I am truly interested in your reply! ;)

It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry when leftists insist that “men get pregnant” or refer to mothers as “birthing people” and otherwise ignore the material reality of biological sex. While we’ve generally understood that this is the latest cause célèbre of the radical left, we don’t really expect conservative media to follow suit. Yet the recent case of a male inmate at a New Jersey women’s prison who impregnated two inmates has shown that conservative media has also been successfully pressured to kowtow to the transgender cult, the Media Research Center has found.

While most of the country is laser-focused on inflation and the economic hardship crushing Americans, Democrats continue to obsess about the only thing that matters to them: Ensuring abortion until birth is legal. (snip) According to Harris, if you support killing a nine-month-old baby in the womb, God is all good with it. (snip) The Bible also doesn’t have anything good to say about those who profess to know Christ then purposely lead others astray, much less for some pathetic, worthless political goal like keeping unlimited abortion legal. Honestly, if I were Harris, I’d be thinking deeply about the state of my soul after those comments. Christianity isn’t a game.

Conservative Twitter users tore Prince Harry apart after the British royal gave a condescending speech trashing the Supreme Court's reversal of Roe v. Wade during a U.N. summit on International Nelson Mandela Day. During the Monday speech, Harry seemed to take aim at conservative policies. He claimed that "the rolling back of Constitutional rights in the United States," in addition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, represent a "global assault on democracy and freedom." Considering that Harry and his wife, actress Meghan Markle, champion progressive causes, the implication in his speech seemed to refer to the Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson abortion ruling.

After intense backlash from local bodega workers and city tabloids, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg on Tuesday dropped all charges against bodega clerk Jose Alba, who was allegedly acting in self-defense when he fatally stabbed a man who was attacking him. The liberal DA’s decision comes after weeks of criticism of Bragg’s decision to send the 61-year-old to Riker’s Island and charge him with second-degree murder in the death of 35-year-old Austin Simon. Bragg first requested Alba’s bail be set at $500,000 before it was lowered to $50,000 in response to criticism from the community. He was later released on a $5,000 bail bond.

Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler suggested on Tuesday that Justice Clarence Thomas did not suggest revisiting the Supreme Court ruling that legalized interracial marriage because he himself is married to a white woman. Debate on the House floor grew heated as the Democrat-majority chamber prepares to advance its Respect For Marriage Act, aimed at codifying same-sex marriage. The bill is a response to Thomas' concurring opinion in the high court's decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, which saw the right to an abortion stripped out of federal law and returned to state jurisdictions.

Donald Trump’s flirtation with announcing a 2024 White House bid before the midterm elections is sending signals of self-doubt and political vulnerability, with Republican operatives saying the former president is motivating challenges to his supremacy over the party. Trump would begin any presidential primary with overwhelming advantages in popularity, name identification, and resources. But pulling the trigger on a third White House campaign prior to Election Day this November, as Trump concedes is possible, might boomerang. Rather than box out potential 2024 opponents and clear the field, such a move by the former president could reek of fear, inviting more competition for the Republican nomination.
