SCOOP: Ron Gidwitz, an Illinois Republican stalwart who raised funds for Donald Trump and worked in his administration, is endorsing Chris Christie in 2024, saying the former New Jersey governor has executive chops and isn’t afraid to stand up to the former president. “He knows how to work across party lines, which is terribly important as opposed to having a constant battle between Republicans and Democrats,” Gidwitz told Playbook in an interview about endorsing Christie. “And he’s the only candidate in the race today who seems to have the courage to call out Donald Trump on the campaign trail.”

Gidwitz is a stalwart! That's my fact for the morning. I never heard of this stalwart before, and doubt he'll be considered a stalwart for much longer. Have a doughnut, Gidwitz.

Another bit of silliness from Politico. How does this bunch of ninnies stay in business? Christie closed his NJ beach so the whale and his family could enjoy it all by themselves during the COVID scam. With those executive chops he might be able to land a position in Gretchen Whitmer's government.

Wrong. We don't need to work along party lines - we need to defeat and frustrate the Democrat's efforts. Their idea of working across party lines is to periodically round up the usual suspects, like Pierre D., Lisa, etc., to use as cover for their machinations while they ride roughshod over anything that gets in their way. Christie is unacceptable.

Oh great, so Christie's his man because he has executive chops and isn't afraid to stand up to Trump. Sounds great but the sad fact is, Christie is nothing more than a paid for hack for communist DEMOCRATS. Those are the guys he's in bed with. His job is to hurt Trump, not Biden who has destroyed our country not china or inflation, or crime or drugs pouring across our open borders. Christie is going nowhere. Got it.

If only Republicans would spend more time supporting the candidate who wants to help people, not just line the pockets of the wealthy donors or expand every government program, they might find the actual opponent is a registered Democrat. Remember, the opposing party?

The Biden family was selling out America to Ukraine, Romania, and Communist China. There is plenty of proof.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has called upon the Republican donor class to start pressuring low-polling GOP candidates into dropping out of the 2024 presidential race to defeat Trump. Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. He said that the donor class needs to pressure candidates with no path to drop out by February of next year at the very latest.“Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president,” he wrote. “That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person race before Mr. Trump has the nomination sewn up.”

The Biden administration's newest crackdown on home appliances, specifically water heaters, would take effect in 2029 if its regulatory proposal is enacted as it continues to implement its aggressive energy efficiency campaign. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday acknowledged the president was going after home appliances. The newest target is water heaters. A Department of Energy (DOE) proposal released late Friday said new regulations would ultimately "accelerate deployment" of electric heat pump water heaters, claiming it would save Americans billions of dollars and reduce carbon emissions.
