EXCLUSIVE: Analysis of RNC Spending Since
2017 Shows Millions Were Spent on Private
Jets, Limousines, Luxury Retreats, Broadway
Shows, and More

Original Article

Back in 2010, RNC Chair Michael Steele was heavily criticized and eventually lost his position because donors were angry about what they believed was luxurious spending on private jets, floral arrangements, chauffeur services, and member meetings in expensive tropical locales. Donors were used to frugality from the RNC under the George W. Bush administration, when “Karl Rove would b***h if there were flowers on the tables” and staff holiday parties were catered by Chick-fil-A. Despite Joe Biden’s economy and three straight cycles of election losses, the RNC’s big-spending days are back with a vengeance.

Comments:

Not another red cent to the RNC until Ronna McDaniel and her trendy spendy cohorts hit the bricks PERMANENTLY!! The numbers spent in this article are absolutely outrageous!!!

Yeah. And all that money t hat the establishment Republicans spent was so successful. Well, for Murkowsi who was running against a Republican. And all the campaign consultants who racked up six and seven figures incomes.

This is the epitome of Republican arrogance. It is disgusting that the money from donors was used in this manner. See how this works? They have no fear of having to answer to their donors otherwise they would spend responsibly. They just take the money and spend it to please themselves. They could not have a smidgeon of integrity and spend like this. Their arrogance and entitlement mentality is disgusting. Do not give a dime to the RNC. Starve the fools.

I always scroll-down on email appeals I get for Republican causes and if I see RNC or McDaniel I send the email toy trash folder. But now I am having trouble sending a small donation ($25) to Trump. Whenever I indicate that amount, the Trump site asks that it be doubled, or made a recutting donation, and there seems to be no way to keep the donation at the amount I want to donate. I would be grateful if L-dotters would tell me how to do that.

You get what you pay for. This country is going to * * l l in a hand basket, and the Republicans continue to keep themselves fat and happy. If only Mitch McConnell cared more about the country than himself, many more excellent candidates would have won in the mid-terms.

And this irresponsible spending on themselves is the reason that Mike Lindell will never be elected Chairman of the RNC by these people. They just could never understand how someone would accept the responsibility for this job and make the pledge beforehand that he will do it without taking a salary. We all know that Mike is a work horse and he would get the team around him to make our elections truly fair and honest. Instead, the Committee will elect some Establishment type who will continue to go along to get along (probably with a few minor changes for window dressing). It is so discouraging,

Remember when the United States taxed and spent its way out of debt and into prosperity? Me neither. But that's what the Biden administration wants to try. Earlier on Monday, President Joe Biden rolled out his massive, treasury-busting budget proposal, which includes, among other wackadoodle items, yet another attempt to tax the nation into prosperity. Fortunately, House Republicans are already preparing to round-file the whole thing. House Republican leaders are blasting President Biden’s proposed plan for how to fund the government in fiscal year 2025.

'The Purge' Comes to Pittsburgh 6 replies

"The Purge" is coming to Pittsburgh between the hours of 3 a.m. and 7 a.m., and if that works out well enough for the city's criminal class, maybe they'll expand those hours. For those not in the know, "The Purge" is a series of dystopian thrillers — the first was decent, but the four sequels proved increasingly unnecessary — set in a near-future United States where, for one night each year, all crime is legal. Whatever it is you want to do, from shoplifting to killing your mother-in-law, it's all good. Maybe the changes being made to the Pittsburgh Police Department's rules and hours aren't quite that extreme.

The contempt that far-left protesters show for historical artifacts, specifically priceless works of art, has always been sickening, but now has just gotten despicable. Picking up where the insufferable climate protesters left off, a group of anti-Israel activists at the University of Cambridge in England destroyed a priceless 1914 painting of Arthur James Balfour by artist Philip Alexius de László. Posting a video of the incident to their account, Palestine Action, on the social media platform X, the protesters spray painted red paint on the painting and then slashed it without any hint of shame.

Boy, are they desperate. The internal polling on African Americans must be through the roof for Donald Trump. After his nasty dishonest SOTU Address last night – the Biden team released a new ad on Friday comparing Trump supporters to the KKK. The Biden ad shows images of Donald Trump with KKK marchers and a noose. Why is this not flagged by Google-YouTube for violent content and misinformation? [Video] As everyone knows the KKK was the militant wing of the Democrat Party. When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks.

No matter how much I might disagree with a person, I am unlikely to call that person a "heartless monster" and/or "terrorist," especially when that person happens to be a United States combat veteran. Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) is a U.S. Army combat veteran, having served in Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Stepping on an IED in September 2010 "as he cleared a lane for Rangers during an attack in the Arghandab District of Kandahar" cost him both legs. In January 2015 he volunteered with the IDF, and was stationed just outside of Tel Aviv, "where he packed medical kits and moved supplies around, including some heavy lifting."

Many have speculated that Joe Biden was hopped up on something during Thursday's State of the Union. Whatever stimulation he received before taking the podium, it wasn't enough to stop him from calling Laken Riley by the wrong name and proclaiming that women have "electrical power," among other flubs. Somehow, things managed to get much worse on Friday. After an ill-advised impromptu presser on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews, the president traveled to Pennsylvania for a campaign rally. Let's just say the upper wore off, leading to perhaps his most senile speech yet.

Can an illegally recorded phone call be used to form the basis of a prosecution? That's a question that is about to become very relevant following a bombshell revelation regarding the infamous phone call between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. On the call, Trump can be heard telling Raffensperger, "I just want to find 11,780 votes." That statement was one of the centerpieces of the former president's second impeachment. Was it definitive, though? In context, Trump had also asked Raffensperger to "find the fraud," indicating that he thought there were legitimate votes left to be uncovered. Regardless, Fulton County DA Fani Willis used the phone call

Thursday night’s State of the Union speech was a doozy. Joe Biden, hopped up on some cocktail of energizing substances, delivered a hyperpartisan speech that devoted more time to attacking Donald Trump and anyone else who doesn’t fall in line behind the far left’s policy proposals than to assessing the state of our country. Let’s call it what it was: a campaign speech. To quote Erick Erickson, the State of the Union was “partisan and not memorable and beneath the dignity of the office.” Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) has garnered mixed reviews for her official rebuttal to Biden’s speech, but she wasn’t the only one to issue a response.

She also raked in millions consulting for Ocean Conservancy and sat on the advisory board at AltaSea from 2015 to 2018, says the complaint.

It will also serve as a contrast between his vision for the country and that of his rival Donald Trump.

President Biden unveiled his election-year budget pitch Monday, calling for $5.5 trillion in tax increases by raising rates on the wealthy and corporations — while driving up spending by $7.3 trillion on defense, federal benefit programs, affordable housing and student debt cancellation, among other proposals. The fiscal year 2025 budget — which is highly unlikely to be approved by Congress — matches last year’s topline tax increase level and spends $300 billion more while purportedly cutting the federal deficit by $3 trillion over the next 10 years, the White House said on Monday.
