RNC Chair Says Rising Left-Wing Radicalism
Boosts Republicans for 2026 and 2028

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/19/2026 3:38:10 PM

The Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters argued on 77 WABC radio’s the “Cats Roundtable" that the Democrats' shift further to the left is a signal that Republicans will be able to "defy history" and maintain control of Congress following the 2026 midterm elections. He said the election of figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other so-called rogue radicals indicates that the Democratic Party is willing to embrace extremism. As many conservative commentators have voiced, the election most likely to implement common-sense policies aligned with its party platform is the one the American people will choose to grant political power.

The Chair should be telling the electeds that they need to do more, while they can.

"RNC Chair Says Rising Left-Wing Radicalism Boosts Rinos for 2026 and 2028". There, FIFY! Seems to me like the RNC is all for Rinos being nominated and elected. I wouldn't contribute a farthing to the RNC these days for that simple reason. Individual candidates, yes. RNC, no.

What a fool he is. Democrats know how to play the public. The republican politicians run from conflict. We need intelligent backbone in this party not a bunch of cowards. I think it is time to change our party leader, Joe Gruters is not a good choice.

Until the RNC starts to campaign on wiping out the loony left in a vigorous way, the only support I will give them is my vote. They started badgering us for money as soon as Donald Trump took office and it only gets more intense. One gets the feeling that money is their only focus and the campaign season is four years long.

At the RNC level, Republicans always seem to me to have a 'sidekick mentality'. They like to stand next to a powerful figure, and think that gives them status and 2nd-hand power. Currently like playing Tonto to the PDJT's Lone Ranger. But just like in the old joke, if he ever says: looks like we're goners, Tonto! They'll say: whatdya mean WE Paleface?

Listen, Gruters - - you numbskull. Your most important job - - your only job - - is to prevent the demonrats and communists from stealing another election. Get out there - - and recruit tens of thousands of Pubbies to monitor the elections - - and sue the crap out of evil demonrat officials - - from now until election day. Do it now, dopey!

Really? Well, Republicans better start changing their state's election laws to prevent widespread fraud, etc or it won't matter how many Republicans turn out and vote. Right now in Virginia, the new Governor and her Dem controlled state legislature already have proposed bills weakening how ballots are counted, when they are counted, etc and our current laws aren't the toughest in the country.

1. Republicans in the House need to continue to develop and pass bills that address America's problems. If the Senate continues to ignore them they can form the basis for another Contract With America -- a tangible set of proposals Republicans will pass if given control of both houses of Congress. 2. We need to hold that Midterm Convention Trump has talked about to fire up the base. We need to make a "presidential election year effort" turnout of Republicans at the polls this November.

President Trump told The Post he posted private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte because they “made my point” — as he revealed he spent Monday halting a prison break in Syria by European terrorists. Trump posted fawning messages from Macron and Rutte praising the US president for unspecified actions in Syria — and pleading with him for dialogue on his bid to annex Greenland — hours before world leaders gather at the Davos summit in Switzerland. “It just made my point. They’re saying, ‘Oh gee, let’s have dinner, let’s do this, let’s do that.’ It just made my point,”

Don Lemon did something miraculous on Sunday: He managed to prove he is even more despicable than we previously thought. What a feat for that putz. The former CNN anchor livestreamed himself joining a band of lunatic anti-ICE protesters who stormed the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, after reports that a pastor there might be affiliated with ICE — though there’s been no confirmation of such a link. Lemon, who is no longer affiliated with a news outlet, enthusiastically embedded with the group that barged into the house of God, shattering the peace and security of a Sunday service and exhibiting behavior befitting a psychiatric ward at Bellevue.

This story out of the Netherlands is the best example of "toxic empathy" that is poisoning the West. Stek Oost, in Amsterdam, was sold as the "solution" to both the housing and refugee crises in the country. A plan would have 125 Dutch students and 125 migrants living in the same building to "aid integration." What happened next was predictable by everyone except the authorities who green-lit this experiment. But students living there told Dutch investigative documentary programme Zembla they faced multiple sexual assaults, harassment, violence, stalking and even claimed a gang rape had taken place.

U-Haul’s Election Lesson 4 replies

Pennsylvania is hemorrhaging residents and resources. And it’s been happening for years. The recent U-Haul Growth Index shows that people are voting with their feet against Pennsylvania and other purple and blue states that have become inhospitable as places to live, work, and raise a family. And these out-migrators are heading to redder states that welcome them. In 2025, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Tennessee topped U-Haul’s ‘in-migration’ states, measured by one-way customer moves. Meanwhile, Pennsylvania ranked an abysmal 44th. The impact of losing friends and families—and their wealth—to other states should be the canary in the coal mine for Pennsylvanians getting ready for another election year in 2026.

He is the one tossing concepts on the whiteboard, storyboarding strong possibilities, and forcing the political system to grapple with problems it has ignored for decades. He understands something most career politicians never grasp: not every idea survives first contact with reality. But no progress happens without someone willing to propose ideas in the first place. That is why the latest round of criticism of Trump’s proposal to cap credit card interest rates misses the point entirely. Much of the conservative movement has bristled at the idea, and the concerns are serious.

It was probably no surprise that Rep. Ilhan Omar, arguably the most corrupt of Minneapolis’ Somali community, announced the Congressional Progressive Caucus has “adopted an official position” to defund Immigration & Customs Enforcement. “Our caucus members will oppose all funding for immigration enforcement in any immigration enforcement bills until meaningful reforms are enacted to end militarized policing practices,” said the woman accused of marrying her brother to evade U.S. immigration laws. Omar’s message was praised by radical groups everywhere, many tied to the left’s “defund the police” movement amid 2020’s Black Lives Matter riots.

In this episode of "Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement"... As we've known for years, America's powerful teachers' unions have demonstrated that they're far more interested in promoting and shilling for left-wing causes than providing quality education to America's kids. In a glaring recent example, as RedState's Becky Noble reported in mid-December, the National Education Association (NEA) — the nation's largest teachers' union — hosted a typical teachers' union conference. The topic? "Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice." Shocked? Me neither. So, yeah, raise your hand if you think the conference spent even a modicum of time focused on improving the quality of education in America — vs. ranting about insane left-wing idiocy.

However, the unrolling of all of the above policies are not the result of illogical, messy or on-the-hoof thinking.

Professor Trish Greenhalgh, University of Oxford – described as the “high priestess” of the face mask movement, who even appeared on her X feed wearing two face masks during the COVID-19 years – has endorsed a letter to the WHO in which it is claimed, as reported in the Guardian, “There is ‘no rational justification remaining for prioritising or using’ the surgical masks that are ubiquitous in hospitals and clinics globally, given their ‘inadequate protection against airborne pathogens’.”

“There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen.” That’s a quote often attributed (perhaps incorrectly) to Vladimir Lenin — but whoever said it first, it’s certainly true of the last week or so. Just look at the headlines. In Iran, the mullahs who have ruled since 1979 are collapsing in the face of widespread popular revolt. For nearly all of the 47 years since Jimmy Carter allowed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to take power in the fallacious belief that it would somehow advance the cause of human rights, Iran has been a major rival to the United States in the region and around the world.

When Dokoupil asked the president to clarify what he meant, Trump responded: “If they do such a thing, we will take very strong action.” More than 2,000 Iranians have been killed amid the regime’s brutal crackdown on protesters,

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina appeared on ‘The View’ on Monday and claimed that Republicans are trying to bring back slavery. This is not only insane and untrue, it’s a complete perversion of history. The Republican Party was founded to end slavery in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican president, who fought the Democrats on the issue of slavery, which escalated into the American Civil War. Democrats do this all the time. In 2012, Joe Biden famously said to a mostly black audience that Republicans want to ‘put y’all back in chains.’ Clyburn knows better than this. They all do.

Left-wing media pundit Don Lemon claimed he was just acting "as a journalist" when he videotaped a mob of anti-ICE agitators storming a church in Minnesota on Sunday. At the same time, he appeared to coordinate with the group and was seen on video kissing the head organizer of the “operation.” The incident is now under DOJ investigation. Lemon was seen on video giving "Operation Pull Up" organizer leader Nekima Armstrong a kiss on the cheek prior to the agitators storming the church in St. Paul. Lemon, on video, also said that he knew that the agitators were “gearing up for resistance and protest” at the church

And more recently, her Minneapolis community has been mired in shocking fraud allegations.But even more disconcerting is the question about her citizenship. Is Ilhan Omar really an American?
