I hate to disagree, but the only way we're going to see any small change from the neo-con Trotskyite Republicans is if we get a truly strong Constitutional Conservative as Speaker of the House. Andy Biggs is that man. Everyone needs to write their congressional rep and tell them they want Andy, not the Trotsky shill McCarthy.

Ahh yes, what is different about the Stalinists on the left in the Dem Party and the Trotskyites in the Repub Party? Only one thing, because they both have the same goals. The Stalinists want a communist state now. The Trotskyites want a slow implementation of communism, so that the people easily accept it. By now, people should know that we have a uni-party other than a handful of Republicans in the house and senate. Sad as that is, it's the truth.

Don’t know you, but your dead right on the RNC. I worked behind the scenes of the core of the top of the right. I high places in the 90s. I got to that point by working for the man who built the DNC and today’s national security. The system treats the sheep like a bicycle. Powered by left and right pedals and control Ed by left and right handles. Taking the masses were it desires

As a rank and file conservative supported President Trump and supports his agenda, what is the best way for me and like-minded Americans to make political donations. I want my money to be used to fund candidates like Blake Masters, Joe Kent and Karoline Leavitt and to help win. I’m tired of the RNC undermining its voters. If not the RNC, who?

The Party is dead. Long live The Party.

You are correct, it is irrelevant who the RNC chair is. The corruption, the grift, the feckless weather-vaning, and the absolute Mr. Magoo myopia of what real conservative, constitutional republic supporting Americans value has shown me the way is no longer the GOP.

The GOP has been the DNC's silent partner since the early 80's. I feel ashamed to have been so blinded. I almost began to know that 2+2=5. Now, I realize I do not fear their rats, even if they were caged to my face.

Until politicians represent the people, the citizens, until they stop stealing more and more of our earnings, until they defend the actual Constitution, until "the powers that be" step down from their gilded thrones, all they will get from me is a middle finger.

All trust, all faith, all expectations of a government by and for the people has been lost to the liars of The Party.

I have to admit that Harmeet stating that she would move the RNC out of DC seems like a great idea. I would also like to see the Senatorial money taken away from Mitch McConnell also. Take the reigns away from the sellouts. After seeing this Omnibus bill voted on by traitorous GOP Senators, I don't give a crap if anyone of those people ever gets elected again. They sellout when when we need their vote the most, and being a sell out should have its consequences. Screw them all and a pox on all of their houses. I got a text message from Tom Cotton's people pushing his new book. My response was far more severe and he can go pound sand.

One critique I have of Ronna is she doesn’t know when to quit. Her latest “blame game” was when she criticized Trump for his endorsement of Oz for Senate In Pennsylvania. Really?! Why isn’t she on the side of Mastroani regarding the lack of election integrity in Pennsylvania. How else can you explain Fetterman?

1. So glad you are feeling better. Sorry to hear you were so ill over the Christmas holiday.

2. Your comments are spot on in many regards on the RNC prospects. I have to say, after the crapshow the RNC has been so far, Lindell may be an entertaining refreshment and at least he has some business sense, he's a REAL patriot and funds might actually get directed to candidates and campaigns that get the shaft currently. Harmeet gives me the chills and Ronna makes me puke so.... Maybe an RNC hero will somehow ride in and save the day - whoever he/she may be out there. Not holding my breath on that one!

3. God bless you and and may 2023 be a stellar year for you as a person and as a journalist/reporter/in their faces real straight talker! Keep up the good fight and don't let the haters phase you, let them drive your determination to kick it up a notch!

I think Mike would be a valuable consultant as Vice Chair of Election Integrity. He can bring in groups like Judicial Watch and True the Vote. This drives politics back to the state level but provides aid to Blue State Republicans.

Harmeet has Trump’s ear, which is important to drive out neo-Con’s and RINOS, while rebuilding the trust of the base. Personally I refrain from donating to any out-of state candidate or to the RNC(NRSC, etc). Instead, I have given money to advertise for a candidate and to reimburse a state party VP for rally expenses. The rest is our personal “foot power”.

Sorry you had some strange virus (seems to going round these days!) glad you’re back, miss your acerbic wit on the stack! Thx for the “fresh” perspective even tho reality is whatever will be the new RNC will be just the old one papered over. My Local party also sucks, so there we have it! Onward and upward to more stolen elections!

Don’t stay away so long next time!!!

Raheem, I think that you have come to the conclusion that the GOP is irrelevant. Not quite-there are good people there. So the solution is to support Jordan, Stefanik, et al and nobody else. Why bother? Because they will affect local change, i.e. in their own states and districts. Also support Trump. The rest suck, but sending letters telling them that they are full of shit might have value. Also, support the great orange one.

I'm not sure you gave an answer really, and who can fault with that? I think we have to understand that the edge of the cliff is here, and/or we are in mid-air, and the hordes are in back of us pushing or screaming to get to the bottom faster. Agreed Ronna has to be out. One thing I know is that lawyers are not the answer either. Dhillon is bound by her profession (Administrative State), and thus she is a party to upholding the Administrative State, and if she doesn't she could be disbarred. So, she's out because she has to believe in the Code: Reasonableness in part turns on whether the statute unambiguously addresses the issue. If it does, then the unambiguous meaning controls. If the statute is ambiguous, then the court asks whether the agency’s interpretation of the ambiguous provision is based on a permissible construction of the statute. A permissible construction is one that is not “arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute.” The principle is named for the 1984 Supreme Court case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc., i.e. The Chevron Decision. In other words, it is a very low threshold for the State, deference is lavished on the State actors (unelected). Total deference (no matter how criminal and/or how bad the 'decision' is or was), thus the State is right 96% of the time, and the other 4% is generally just a remand for the same actors to 'fix it'. Plus, you get to fund the state against its own citizens. So, Dhillon is out on that basis alone, no matter if she 'understands', but, because she does. Anyway, Mike Lindell, keeps going with his own money mostly and for that he gains quite a bit of Honor. The election was rigged and has been rigged for the select few. What to do? What to do? Mike has to be the choice if that is all the choices given, as he is for sure a disruptor at the very least, not to be overlooked. I don't agree totally with your assessment of him either, for sure the World rages against him, yet he might put some serious organization to the corrupt RNC, we shall see... The cliff looms, other things may make all this irrelevant anyway. Best, Jace

The RNC chairperson vote is set for January 27th, I already scheduled my article to be published on January 25th for peak interest

I haven't written it yet but it'll be something along the lines of a deep dive into Ronna vs. Harmeet, GOP civil war, etc. I'm not really sure yet. Still trying to find an angle.

I'll be sure to embed this article :)

Glad you are feeling better, Raheem, and I wish you a wonderful New Year.

Maybe you should be the head of the RNC? You would really be putting the "R" (for Raheem) in the RNC.😜

I heard a story about Dhillon from one of her colleagues; that she does nothing unless the headlines are big enough. That means she doesn't care about getting the job done, only that she gets notoriety and no blame for any failure.

Everyone touts her b/c she's an attorney. But if her goal is self-aggrandizement, it's no advantage.

Gotta find someone that will back the candidates we want! Oz would have won if he’d had backing from the beginning…this is why we stopped donating to the RNC…we only donate to the actual person…

Even Jesus didn't go beyond 12.. it is human nature to form factions and cliques. This happens because most people are submissive followers, sheep. So everything comes down to the shepherd and the sheep dogs. And our shepherds are shit. Mike Lindell would do far better than you may predict simply because he is an honest Shepherd. But the republican sheep dogs will no doubt slink back and allow the wolves to attack him. So he's walking straight into a trap should he "win". Frankly I think our whole government is beyond the point of no return. Its all just theater now. Very, very bad theater.
