LA County for Trump: Eight Years Later, What Happened?

From early 2017 until mid-2018, I was active with a large coalition of Angelenos fighting the good fight for President Trump.

We went to protests, we led rallies, and we participated in marches in and around Los Angeles to support the President and advocate for his policies.

Some of the biggest movers and shakers in the movement got together for multiple Independence Day bashes throughout Southern California, including Genevieve Peter's home in the Sherman Oaks area.

Here's the group photo:

From back to front, left to right: Jesse Suave, Charles Beltran, David Hernandez, Joseph Cheng, Rachelle Mand, Megan Dowling, Patricia James, Raphael Hwong, Mama Leonor Ferris, Dawna Schoenberger, Elsa Aldeguer, Arthur Schaper, Harim Uzziel Vargas, Genevieve Peters Scott

A lot of people have followed up with me to ask what happened to the team. Where is everyone now?

Here's a basic rundown, as best as I can remember or relate.

I see Rachelle Mand (the lady with curly hair and glasses) at the Torrance-Lomita-Palos Verdes Republican Assembly meetings all the time. She's still in the fight.

Harim Uzziel Vargas (the guy at the front wearing a black shirt and a black MAGA hat) turned on all of us. He insisted that we could not be friends with people whom he did not like, which betrays a deep lack of maturity. He cut me off as he cut off many others.

Mama Leonor Ferris (the lady with long white hair and the stars and stripes on her shirt) is still kicking butt, but I have not seen her in years. I did connect with her briefly at an event earlier this year, but we didn't talk that much.

Genevieve Peters (on the right, in front of me) lives in Michigan now. She was born there, but moved to California to help with the George W. Bush campaign. She lived in the Golden State for years, and she was such a great help to all of us. After moving back to Michigan, he got married in 2023! Her husband, John Scott, is very supportive of the MAGA cause, too!

Elsa Aldeguer and I connect from time to time. We both supported Bianco for governor. I saw her late March, when I gave a speech to the Hollywood Republican Assembly. She has always been so supportive of me.

Joseph Cheng (the Asian guy with the shaved head) still connects with me from time to time, too. He supports me on social media. Unlike some in the MAGA-verse, he didn't get angry with me when I supported Governor Ron DeSantis for President in 2024. Yes, I voted for Trump in the general election. I am glad that I did, and I am glad that he is keeping promises this time, which he had made last time,

Megan Dowling was a hard-core Trump supporter. She attended lots of Tea Party rallies, was active in the local Republican clubs, and she attended lots of city council meetings to protest the sanctuary state law SB 54 in 2018.

Then she went to the dark side, celebrating all things Palestinian. All of this came out after the October 7th, 2023, terrorist attacks on Israel. From that time on, she started blathering about how she opposed Zionism, hated Israel, and supported the "Palestinian" cause. She now spends every Sunday in Redondo Beach protesting Israel along with the local group of left-wing activists.

Patricia James (the lady with long white-blonde hair to the left of Harim's baseball cap) is still active, but I don't really talk to her. She was really helpful when I didn't have a car (or a lot of money!), so she would drive me to events. One source told me that she moved to Florida after getting married, and then her husband recently passed away.

I haven't seen Charles Beltran in a while. We had a falling out. It's a long story that I don't want to get into.

Lots of people don't know the story behind Raphael, but I feel safe sharing some of the details now. Raphael was a good friend, very close to me. He helped me when I had suffered a stroke in 2019, and then when I had another health scare two years later. Unfortunately, he became dark and cynical about everything. He would just complain about all the problems, and it was so draining. The last time I sat down with him, the day before Independence Day 2023, all he would do was perseverate about the end of the conservative movement and how everything was falling apart. I couldn't deal with his constant complaining and negativity anymore. I had to let him go, and I have not spoken to him since. It is very sad what happened to him.

I still see David Hernandez all the time. He is doing great work for the Trump and Republican cause in Los Angeles. He is fighting the good fight and really thinking big for the state of California. In fact, he is a Vice Chair for the California Republican Party, and he recently got re-elected to the position.

Jesse Suave is still active, doing great stuff. He registers voters and shows up to protests from time to time. I had dinner with him and a few others earlier this year.  I have talked with him a few times, and I see him at a lot of Christian events.

Dawna Schoenberger was well-known as an awesome biker chick. I attended her birthday a few years ago in South Orange County. It was great to see her again, along with her kids. She is living somewhere in the Inland Empire now. We haven't talked lately, but she supports my work with MassResistance, which means a lot to me.

So, what happened to LA County for Trump?

Life happened, hard times happened, and new challenges came up.

I was working as a freelance journalist and activist for a year and a half. Time and money were growing tight, and I needed to find stable work. MassResistance, the international pro-family group that makes a difference, hired me in July 2018. I am celebrating my eighth year with the organization! That work has taken me to all sorts of places, and it has also required so much of my time that I no longer had time for Trump events.

During COVID-19, I was focused on the health freedom fight as well as exposing all the corruption in the public school system, which became so evident after kids were forced to stay home and get their education virtually. Parents finally witnessed all the grooming and corruption taking place in the government schools, and they demanded change!

From there, after Trump left office (Stolen Election!), I started doing other health freedom-related activism as well as my full-time work for MassResistance.

I soured on Trump in late 2022, when all of his US Senate picks failed and he chanted about protecting "gay rights." A lot of MAGA backed away from me in those days because I supported Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. I stepped away from a lot of other activism in those days, too, because I was tired of just doing the rallies. I wanted results, and I witnessed how just attending local government meetings and yelling at politicians wasn't getting the job done.

President Trump 2.0 has been a vast improvement over his first term, and he is setting the stage for great reforms and restoration in this country. I am hoping that more citizens get involved in the political process as well as the culture war. My main focus is MassResistance, but I am also writing more, getting published by American Thinker, American Greatness, Townhall.com, Canada Free Press, 2 Urban Girls, and other sites.

There's the basic rundown for now. Hope everyone is doing well, and let's not stop fighting for MAGA every day we can!

LIVE: Minnesota Somali Leaders Endorse Trump for President

                       

There's only one comment I can make: Hell is freezing over!

Not sure that this endorsement will be enough to move Minnesota into the Republican column, though.

Minnesota has remained that elusive prize for Republicans since 1972, the last time that a Republican nominee won the state's electoral votes (Richard Nixon, and even then, it was a close 51% to 48%).

Reagan never won Minnesota.

I have my concerns:

1. They talked about how they want to end the war, presumably the war in Gaza. Does this mean that Trump will start abandoning Israel, start moving away from pushing for more Abraham Accords?

2. Islam is a religion of deception. No one can deny that, since so much of the Quran urges deception in the furtherance of Islam. Yet, if these voters are willing to take the risk and speak up in support of Donald Trump, I can accept that.

3. As I have written and shared before, more Muslims are pushing against the extremism of Jihad and Sharia Law. Many Muslims believe that Israel has a right to exist, and they reject the terrorism of Islam. But are there enough of them in this country to speak out against terrorism?

4. I respect the fact that these Somalis want a safer America. They are tired of the crime, they are tired of the lack of safety, and they are tired of their needs and concerns being ignored. However, how many of them voted for Ilhan Omar in the Minnesota primary earlier this year?

5. I am not surprised that one of the members, who had supported Bernie Sanders, came forward to support Donald Trump. Many Berniecrats switched their votes to Trump because he was a populist just like Bernie. That does not mean that they are more conservative than they were in the past.

The Berniecrat also sounded off on the stolen nomination which replaced Biden with Kamala Harris, who did not win one delegate in 2020 or 2024.

6. Many of the Somalis are still upset with President Obama (and Biden) for their strikes on Somalia. I hope that more voters expect to see peace around the world, and they respect that Israel is not the source of evil and military trauma in the world.

I think more voters always help, but I wonder if this late endorsement will be enough to turn Minnesota red. Will it at least force the Democratic Party to spend more money in Minnesota, and thus spend less money in swing states?

I can say this month: I did not have "Somali Muslims for Trump" on my 2024 Political Bingo card!

How Massie Messed with the Media

President Trump Release of Summary Election Fraud in 2020

🚨JUST IN - President Trump Releases Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States

Introduction: It has often been repeated there is “no evidence” of fraud in the 2020 Election. In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won.

Ongoing investigations in the Swing States reveal hundreds of thousands of votes were altered and/or not lawfully cast in the Presidential Election. Joe Biden needed them. On Election Night Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump was sailing to reelection with landslide leads in numerous battlegrounds. In Georgia, President Trump was up by 12 points, and over 335,000 votes, with 56 percent of the vote in at 10:17 p.m. In Wisconsin, President Trump was leading by 121,380 votes and 5 points at 12:12 a.m., which Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted was “not a small margin.” In Pennsylvania, President Trump was leading by 659,145 votes at 12:38 a.m., a full 15 points. In Michigan, President Trump was leading by 293,052 votes and 10 points.

The election was over. However, precincts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee kept counting until the results reached the desired outcome, which was the opposite of the will of the voters. Georgia went from having a total of 4.7 million votes, already a record for the state, according to Brad Raffensperger’s count on Nov. 4, to certifying almost 5 million. This was 300,000 more votes than what the top elections official claimed were cast in the Election.

Getting to this result in Georgia, and other states, created an irredeemably compromised Election, filled with violations of the Constitution, unlawful ballots, widespread broken chain of custody, electronic manipulation, and missing and corrupted election files that made it uncertifiable — and impossible to recreate the results.

President Trump was right to voice his objections to what had unfolded before the country’s eyes. Republican poll watchers were denied access to the counting in multiple jurisdictions and ballots were counted in secret in the middle of the night without media or observers present. Countless irregularities emerged, including reports of ineligible voters, voting machine anomalies, “water main breaks,” improbable percentages of ballots for Biden, and more.

Since, investigations across the country have uncovered an avalanche of irregularities, unlawful activity, manipulation of election records, destruction of evidence, and fraud. The findings, which are outcome determinative, are detailed in the summaries of the Swing States.

GEORGIA🚨

• Georgia was called by 11,779 votes.

• Fulton County, Georgia, the most populous county in the state, has no digital record of all in person votes cast in its original results.

• Not a single ballot purportedly cast during early in-person voting was witnessed to and signed off by poll managers, as required by Georgia election rules. Seals were broken and memory cards removed from tabulators for the results of these 315,000 votes, which were printed out on different machines than the ones that tabulated them. This prevented the reconciliation of how many votes were cast on each machine.

• The ballot images of these votes, along with the rest of in-person ballots cast on Election Day, were destroyed.

• The vote in Georgia was counted three times: the original machine count, a statewide hand recount, and a second machine count. Each time the state, and Fulton County, reported three different results.

• Fulton County did not count the same ballots during the original count and the machine recount. There are 19,541 distinct ballots that appear in one machine count but not the other.

• Thousands of fraudulent “presidential only” ballots were injected into the second machine count, with huge margins favoring Joe Biden. Ballots that are blank except for the presidential contest were counted in batches together, with the pattern appearing in at least eight counties, including Fulton. This means Georgia did not have the votes to justify its original Election “results.”

• The second machine count was over 17,000 votes “short.” Fulton County was instructed to “reconcile” the results by the Secretary of State, and recertified its results without divulging the extent of the vote deficiency to members of the Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections.

• “Thousands of bogus votes” were ultimately added into the Election results via the second machine count. This includes 20,977 unsubstantiated votes of unknown origin. The results were missing 17,852 ballot images, and included 3,125 duplicate ballot images that were counted twice.

• At least 2,871 ballots were counted two or three times in the second machine count, totaling 6,118 questionable votes.

• Eighty-eight percent of Fulton County’s precincts reported a different total number of votes between the first and second machine count.

• The only electronic votes that survived from the first count were the mail-in ballots, since they were tabulated on the high speed scanner their ballot images were automatically uploaded to the election server.

• Ninety percent of these approximately 148,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County cannot be authenticated. Ballot images for 132,284 mail-in votes have no .SHA file, which is created automatically when a ballot is scanned and used to authenticate the digital image of the vote, lacking evidence they were scanned and tabulated properly, or even cast by a real voter.

• 104,994 ballot image files of these mail-in ballots from the original count contained identical modified time stamps, suggesting electronic manipulation.

• Fulton County does not know “how many voters cast votes” and its “lack of basic accounting controls make it impossible to determine who really won” in 2020, according to Philip Stark, a University of California, Berkeley professor who invented risk-limiting audits. Stark noted, “The electronic records of the election are not intact.”

• 376,863 ballot images are missing from the first machine count, which includes all in-person votes in Fulton County.

• None of the 315,000 votes cast during early voting in Fulton County were witnessed to and signed by the poll manager and two poll workers, as required by state election rules. The closing tapes for these votes are all unsigned, showed more tabulated votes than the tabulators had recorded as scanning in their protective counters, and recorded improbably low percentages for President Trump. For example, President Trump received only 0.9 percent, 2.4 percent, 3.7 percent from some of the tabulators, as if he was a third party candidate, or in a third world country. The anomalies indicate ballots were not scanned on the tabulators that printed the closing tapes, making the closing tapes fraudulent.

• Tabulators used in Fulton County during early voting had their seals broken, and memory cards were reprogrammed and inserted into different scanners to count absentee ballots, in violation of election rules. This made it impossible to reconcile the true number of votes tabulated on the machines from the start of the Election to the end of counting.

• 235,000 absentee ballots were requested and accepted too early, prior to the lawful date 180 days before the 2020 Election, which was May 6, 2020. These votes should have never been counted in the 2020 Election.

• 4,081 false votes for Joe Biden were included in the hand count audit results for Fulton County. The false votes were the result of 36 accounting errors, which were confirmed by Governor Brian Kemp’s office and investigators working for Secretary Brad Raffensperger, yet they have never been removed from the official hand count results. These errors alone would reduce the margin to 7,698 votes.

• The hand count audit included 3,935 unaccounted for votes due to 11 missing batch sheets in Fulton County. Differences from the original count to the hand audit total at least 15,690 votes, which is more than the entire election margin alone. This includes the 4,081 false Biden votes, plus “missing” votes discovered in Gwinett (1,642), Fayette (2,755), Floyd (2,700), Douglas (293), and Walton (284) counties that were likely due to machine counting errors.

• Thousands of “pristine,” unfolded absentee ballots were counted during the hand count audit in Fulton County, according to at least six witnesses, which is the subject of ongoing litigation. These absentee ballots had no folds, and went 98 percent to Joe Biden, had “been added in a fraudulent manner,” witnesses said.

• Fulton County certified 59,143 in-person votes on Election Day, despite the fact that only 14,152 people had voted as of 5 p.m. on Nov. 3, 2020. Evidence suggests the in-person vote total on Election Day was inflated by approximately 37,000 votes, as records show no rush to the polls during the final two hours of voting, and a screenshot of the in-person Election Day results shared by a government contractor showed only 21,843 people voted at the polls in Fulton County on Nov. 3.

• Fulton County ordered over 1 million absentee ballots days before the 2020 Election, without any envelopes and the time necessary to mail. There were only 808,680 active voters in Fulton County as of Nov. 1, 2020, meaning the county had more blank mail-in ballots than the number of registered voters, and ordered them after the vast majority of mail-in ballot requests had already been sent to voters by Runbeck Election Services.

• An estimated 30,000 to 92,670 illicit votes were trafficked in Georgia, as part of a massive ballot trafficking operation discovered by True the Vote. The group identified 242 traffickers in Georgia who engaged in 5,662 ballot drops into drop boxes, making an average of runs per trafficker. Over 40 percent of the illicit drops that were captured on camera were recorded between the non-voting hours of midnight and 5 a.m.

• There were over 364,000 ineligible voter registrations on the rolls during the 2020 Election and likely 67,284 votes were cast from voters with invalid residency.

• Massive manipulation of the Georgia voter rolls surrounding the 2020 Election has been uncovered. This includes 1,500 Voter IDs that received credit for voting in 2020, but were not on any voter rolls from 2020, some appearing for the first time on the voter rolls on Nov. 4, 2021, a year after the Election. Other findings include manipulation of inactive voters to cast ballots, “gifting” Nov. 3 votes up to 2 years after the Election, and casting votes on ballots previously rejected, cancelled, or not even turned in.

• In 2020, there were absentee ballots issued to “Bangkok Thailand, Ga.,” “Denver, Ga.,” “Detroit, Ga.,” “Los Angeles, Ga.,” and other fraudulent addresses that do not exist. Ballots were fraudulently cast in 2020 from addresses listed as “Bronx, Ga.,” “Hilton Head, Ga.,” “Louisville, Ga.,” “San Diego, Ga.,” “New Orleans, Ga.,” “French Creek, Ga.,” “Virginia Beach, Ga.,” “Vicksburg, Ga.,” “Baltimore, Ga.,” “New York, Ga.,” and “Sarasota, Ga.,” all with zip codes out of state.

• 43,907 drop box ballots violated chain of custody requirements in DeKalb County.

• 59,000 of the 79,460 drop box ballots in Fulton County were not immediately transported to the election registrar, in violation of State Election Board rules.

• An estimated 355,000 ballot transfer forms for drop box ballots are missing statewide.

• Over 100,000 tally sheets for Fulton County were missing from the hand count audit, and remained missing for months after the Election.

• In early January 2021, Ruby Freeman asked for an attorney because she wanted to “go live on every platform” to divulge information about how “the USB ports” were used in the 2020 Election. The expert cyber report by Professor J. Alex Halderman explained how external USB ports with election-changing malware can be inserted into Dominion machines by anyone with access, including election workers.

• The presence of a “QR code mismatch” error within the Dominion tabulators that systematically undercounts votes was found in 65 out of 67 Georgia counties where records were available. The error was present in system log files for tabulators used in elections in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

• The election results in Georgia in 2020 are not only unreliable, but were electronically altered, and are unsupported by the state’s own election records. The appearance of tens of thousands of unconfirmed ballots in subsequent hand and machine counts suggest reconciliation happened after the Election, meaning after it was clear what margins were needed to win.

• Fulton County election officials admitted in early 2021 they do not engage in any reconciliation until weeks after Election Day. This means the number of voters showing up at the polls during each day of voting is not checked with the number of ballots tabulated each day, a basic process to ensure the number of ballots and voters match, and cannot be manipulated later.

• “We can’t start reconciling that until usually a couple days before certification,” said then-Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron, during a January 2021 Board meeting. “Because we have to get that report from KnowInk. I think KnowInk sends those to the state or KnowInk sends those directly to us. But those aren’t compiled then, on Election night. So we don’t have any way to balance those then. That’s like the post-election process that we do.”

Save California Celebrates Speaker Mike Johnson

 

Hi Arthur, During the three-week saga of Republican nominees for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, we’ve gone from “RINO B” to “Constitutional Champ A” to “RINO A” to “Constitutional Champ B.” So, who is new Speaker Mike Johnson? Well, he's not part of the RINO crowd!

This is a good speaker pick because the conservatives persevered and the RINOs folded! And thank you for your phone calls demanding a conservative constitutional fighter! And when New Communist Democrats Barbara Lee, Katie, Porter, and Adam Schiff [http://barbara%20lee%2C%20katie%20porter%2C%20and%20adam%20schiff%20https//www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/insurrectionist-maga-extremist-leading-ca-senate-candidates-react-to-new-speaker/ar-AA1iQwQN]are afraid of Speaker Mike Johnson, you should be glad. Of all the Republican candidates for speaker this month, Mike Johnson of northwest Louisiana was the 5th-most conservative, receiving 74% on his Liberty Score, after Gary Palmer (80%), Kevin Hern (82%), Jim Jordan (94%) , and Byron Donalds (100%). Johnson known as a conservative constitutional scholar, who called for the arrest of Nancy Pelosi for destroying an official document.  Mike Johnson is a strong pro-life conservative and a strong pro-family conservative who has publicly opposed tyrannical “LGBTQIA+” activists. And because a strong suit of Mike Johnson is he's a leader for election integrity, and because he was a vocal opponent of the kangaroo-court “January 6th” committee and its sham “hearings,” we must lobby Johnson to release all on January 6, 2021 videotapes, commission a subcommittee investigation of election-fraud allegations nationwide, and investigate the due process rights being denied political prisoners in both Washington, DC and Minneapolis. We need aggressive, eye-opening investigations of the open border, the harm of Planned Parenthood abortionists and the “LGBTQIA+” agenda, the desperate need for medical freedom, and the absolute need to protect our God-given parental rights, religious rights, and small business rights. We also need to demand tough investigations and public exposure of the Bidens and the Deep State. Mike Johnson can deliver all this, whereas Kevin McCarthy was not our champion, but was, at many times, an obstacle. ACT NOW: Please call the office of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson at 202-225-2777 to leave a message telling him what he needs to investigate.

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fearing God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. The advice of Moses' father-in-law Jethro in the Bible, Exodus 18:21

The Renewed Fight for Speaker: Essential, Not Incidental

October 2^nd, 2023 is a date that will live in infamy for politicians who embrace big-spending, do-nothing status quo quiescence. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a Motion to Vacate the Speakership of the House, and the motion passed the next day. Prior motions to vacate had been filed, and even voted on, but never succeeded until this year. This turn of events is unprecedented, and I submit all for the better.

The Conservative Commentariat has not shared my enthusiasm for this necessary disruption to Congressional Business-As-Usual dithering, bickering, and excessive spending. The hyperventilation from political class Republicans, including strong conservatives not afraid to buck the Beltway Establishment, is really saddening. Their latest source of angst: the Speakership fight which has ground Congress to a halt.

From Ann Coulter to George Will, conservative commentators are convinced that the dragged-out fight over the next Speaker of the House distracts from bare minimum legislating, will drag down the Republican Party and doom the United States to a federal Democratic trifecta for the foreseeable future. I disagree. Even if this fight hurts the Republican Party, or Washington’s diminished sense of solemnity, it was a much-needed tonic disruption.

For the last thirty years, voters have been sending representatives to Washington DC to secure the border, end unnecessary wars, cease the excessive spending (which Congress last achieved on the eve of Clinton’s presidency, only through considerably pressure from a Republican Congress), and restore federalism.

Politicians have not been keeping these promises, especially the Republicans, who barely won a majority in 2022 in part because of ongoing distrust from the base. Republicans in previous terms did very little to stop progressive agendas or the deficit spending, aside from a handful of outspoken conservatives. Republican lawmakers need to show more fighting spirit, the same that DeSantis is campaigning on now. 2016.

When Republicans don’t do their job, how do we hold them accountable? Ditch them during a primary or oust them during the general election. But what about while they are in office? Yes, voters can make phone calls, emails, press conferences, letters to the editor, and other public displays of outrage. Citizens can put together PACs and start blasting their elected officials with commercials on the airwaves.

However, the best way to hold politicians accountable during a legislative session is to delay their power or remove them from power. Speaker Emeritus Kevin McCarthy did not have a smooth transition to the speakership in January, 2023. He hadn’t earned the gavel, having refused to meet with different caucuses within the conference, especially conservatives who wanted key guarantees. Ultimately, McCarthy appointed conservatives to the Rules Committee and offered coveted chairmanships to others. However, he failed to deliver on other promises like providing twelve appropriations bills, stopping the excessive spending, and pushing forward term limits.

In May, 2023, McCarthy all but caved on the debt-ceiling negotiations. He passed increased spending until January 2025 with majority Democratic support. Once against, just like during his tenure as Majority Leader, he let the Democrats run the chamber.  Worse yet, McCarthy dawdled until the end of September to get only three appropriations bills passed. When the fourth failed, McCarthy resorted to another spendthrift continuing resolution, with the help of Democrats.

 

McCarthy’s intransigence on following through on his promises, plus his ready acquiescence to majority Democratic support for key bills, proved to be the last straw for conservatives. Voters and pundits alike should remember that this has been business as usual for Republicans when they controlled the House in years past. Enough is enough! Republicans across the country supported Gaetz’ decision to vacate McCarthy.

But criticisms linger against the Vacate Eight, and they deserve consideration.

Some have charged that Gaetz filed this motion for the celebrity, the grift, and to settle a score. Whatever his reasons may be, the open reality that McCarthy didn’t keep his promises was reason good enough. In politics, motive matters less than the votes themselves. Most politicians do the right thing if it guarantees them re-election, and we want them to cast the right votes, even if for the wrong reasons.

A more substantive criticism implicates the Vacate Eight for not thinking through the larger process. “So, you remove McCarthy. What’s your gameplan going forward?” I explained to one critic that the rest of the conference needed the assurance (or the pressure) to make decisions against leadership. If McCarthy was forced out, the rest of the conference would have been free to (or have to) make decisions for a better speaker.

What if this process drags out even longer?

First of all, Americans should rejoice when Congress is unable to spend money they do not have, whether by squandering tax revenues or increasing the deficit spending.

Second, the Uniparty of “spend more, ask questions never” has been exposed. The Republican electorate sees the members of Congress who are determined to keep the Big Government largesse funneling to the several states, all while our national debt explodes, inflation ravages Americans’ buying power, and foreign countries ditch the US dollar as a reserve currency. All the lip service for controlled spending and balanced budgets amounts to nothing. Primary challenges can ensue in earnest, and perhaps Republicans as a national consensus can force out big spending RINOs on a larger level, and come 2024 get better House leadership, even if Republicans must suffer in the minority for a term.

Third, conservative activists and political wonks need to focus on the factors that create strong Republicans in Congress. Safe districts, sure, but how about representatives who rely on local support and funding for their campaigns? Candidates who have learned to harness media and social media activism to increase their profile while enhancing their grassroots strength do remarkably well in resisting the Swamp. These factors help explain why Congressmen Gaetz, Rosendale, Good, and others have stood strong against the House GOP Establishment.

Rep. Gaetz’ Motion to Vacate was a much-needed house-cleaning for Washington politics. We should relish this period of disruption for potential long-term improvements.

Irma Chiota: Mattucci Derangement Syndrome

Torrance has some strange people in it.

Check out this lady.

Irma Chiota does not like me.

That's OK. There are some people in Torrance, in the United States, in the world who don't like me.

It's all good.

But ... she told me to "go away."

That is not nice.

She needs to learn some manners. This is a serious problem in the city of Torrance, in that we have hard-core liberal partisans which have no respect for other people.

That kind of bigotry needs to stop, and liberals like Irma Chiota need to learn some manners.

Just sayin' ...

“Christ is King” is Not Enough

 

Kings made a comeback last year, when Queen Elizabeth passed away, after serving as the longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. Bonny Prince Charlie became King Charles III, putting aside the randy (and bloody) reputations of the previous Charles.

“Christ is King” has become a political rally cry, as well, especially among the populist, nationalist, traditionalist set taking over the GOP. I understand the desire for a restoration of our nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage. The revivals breaking out in Kentucky and Tennessee attest to this nation’s hunger for moral order and meaning.

Yet I must submit to this the Body of Christ in America, and to the political operatives seeking to make a difference in our governance: “Christ is King” is not enough.

It’s a great slogan, but Jesus, when He came to this earth in an earthen vessel, did not come to lord his kingship over us. First of all, He didn’t have to. As we sing “Silent Night” every Christmas, Jesus was “Lord at His birth.”

If we really want to honor Jesus, if we want to honor our Lord as Lord, we need to see him as Savior.

“America First” is a nice hobby, and it makes people feel good. But how do you define America, if there is no restoration of our Anglo-American legal tradition, or more importantly our Judeo-Christian heritage, which culminates in the profession of the Gospel?

WINNING: OC Hater Briana "Minivan Karen" Walker Blocks Me

 Wow!

So much winning!

I guess Briana Walker can't handle people calling our her crap, including:

1. Supporting pornography in schools and libraries

2. Targeting mothers and fathers who want to protect their children

3. Shaming citizens who want to clean out the corruption and abuse in government schools

4. Defaming conservatives, common-sense citizens, and patriots who just want to restore public order, public health, and public safety.

I have relentlessly called out her crap and corruption. Click here.

Life is good!

Larry Tenney: Liberal OC Bigot, Misogynist, Groomer

I love my haters.

And there are lots of haters in California, especially the variety who are completely determined to:

1. Push baby-killing at all costs

2. Attack immigrants because they respect life and family

3. Push for perversion, pornography, and predatory material in kids' classroom

4. Slander women

What is it with some life-sucking anti-women haters in California?

Besides perverts like Briana Walker, aka Minivan Karen, there is a half-blind hater who is obsessed with me.

His name is Larry Tenney:

Creepy Larry is aiming for the "Eye-Patch McCain" look, I suppose ... strange, but true.

And he is obsessed with me!

Oh look, here's Huntington Beach Mayor Pro Tem Gracey VanDerMark, an alt-right groupie, fan-girling with creepy white nationalist Arthur Schaper, leader of MassResistance a hate group on @splcenter's watch list

Right away, you know that Larry is a racist groomer, because he references the well-known hate group called "The Southern Poverty Law Center."

The SPLC thinks it's OK to attack churches and other pro-family organizations.

The SPLC has a long history of defaming Jews, Muslims, Christians, and immigrants.

The SPLC fought to take away school choice for black students in Mississippi.

They are OK with pushing pornography and LGBT indoctrination on kids in public schools, and doing so without parents' knowledge or permission.

The SPLC is an anti-Semitic, anti-Christian hate group ... and Tenney loves them. Birds of a feather, right?

But is there more to One-eyed Tenney?

What's really disturbing is that he has the LGBT hate flag next to a "family" emoji.

Let's cut through all the confusion and dishonor: anyone who pushes the LGBT flag is pushing sexual perversion and degeneracy. They hate mothers and fathers, and they hate children.

Anyone who celebrates that LGBT flag is also in complete support of the sex mutilation of minors, aka a groomer.

And that makes "Happy Larry" a Creepy Groomer in and of itself.

But there's more about Scary Larry than the LGBT grooming right there on his Twitter headmast.

Let's look at some of his latest tweets:

Say this every single day until Nov 6, 2024:#CA45 Rep Michelle Steel abused the power of her office to pressure SCOTUS to repeal Roe v Wade & make abortions illegal again

Right away, we have a very dingy perv who has a problem with women, and with immigrants. Michelle Steel is a strong, resourceful lady who has done much in her life, before she ever entered into politics. She has run businesses, she has been a diligent, faithful servant for her family.

And what does Larry call her? Abusive. Seriously?

Here's another immigrant woman whom Larry Tenney insisted on defaming:

Here's Gracey VanDerMark, now Mayor Pro Tem of Huntington Beach, with racist Soo Yoo, then a trustee of the ABC Unified School District school board. Their intent was to agitate parents with racist, homophobic conspiracieshttps://t.co/ORICX4A4q5

Is there something that Scary Larry has against Korean-American women, specifically? It's getting really disturbing how much he attacks these ladies.

And there's more misogyny where that came from:

Is that Gov Sarah Sanders or a drag impersonator because... well... https://t.co/zQVpNC89y2

— 𝙻𝚊𝚛𝚛𝚢 𝚃𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚢 🟧🗣#GoodTrouble (@LarryTenney) September 3, 2023

Since he has the LGBT groomer flag on his masthead, one would think that he could not identify, let alone define what is a woman. And yet, he wants to shame the chief executive in one of our states ... and why?

Because he does not support school choice for children, especiallly black and Hispanic kids?

Because he thinks it's OK to push pornography on children in public schools and libraries?

Because he thinks it's OK for confused, disgusting men to dress up as garish parodies of women and gyrate sexually in front of children?

For the record, Governor Huckabee-Sanders signed off on bills which expanded school choice for all children, while also fighting to remove obscene materials from schools and libraries, and she signed off on legislation to protect children from creepy drag shows and drag queens.

One has to wonder: is Larry a drag queen on the weekends, too? He probably has to resort to such sinister employs, since judging by most of the stuff he does on social media, he really doesn't have a job, or a life, or much of anything.

Then, of course, he froths at the mouth about white supremacy:

When white-supremacists leafleted downtown HB with hateful flyers Easter 2021, Tony Strickland, Gracey VanDerMark, Casey McKeon & Pat Burns were silent as community leaders

Not a damn one of them disavowed the circumstances https://t.co/tCgG6IVD7q

What's so sick, what's so hypocritical about all of this is that liberals, progressives (whatever) like Larry Tenney are the white supermacists! For decades, these hateful, white liberals have been targeting minorities (like Michelle Steel) and shaming them for their conservative views.

The hatred directed towards the Westminster City Council during the fight against Sanctuary State law SB 54 in 2018 was considerably disturbing, as well. Surely, Larry Tenney was A-OK with that kind of bigotry, too.

And getting back to the SPLC, which was founded by a white supremacist, Morris Dees, who represented the KKK in court many times. He only moved into civil rights litigation for the money, and to use his mail marketing schemes to rip off hundreds of millions of dollars from gullible corporate interests.

But it gets worse for hatemongers like Tenney.

Here, he promotes another set of neo-Nazis, this time parading in Florida:

As point of reference, the Goyem Defense League -- part of a Nazi protest at Disney World this weekend -- recently applauded actions of Huntington Beach Mayor Tony Strickland & his Council MAGA allies. None of them subsequently disavowed GDL

The joke is once again on him, though: these neo-Nazis proudly declared that they support Joe Biden!

In the footage, some members of the group said they supported President Joe Biden over his support for Ukraine and, by extension, the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion ...

Nazis love Joe Biden!

So did white supremacist, alt-right founder Richard Spencer:

 And so does Larry Tenney! That pretty tells you all you need to know about liberals in Orange County.

KKK and Democrats have gone hand-in-hand for a long time in Orange County.

The King Kleagle of Anaheim admitted that he liked Hillary Clinton for President during the 2016 Election! Check it out here.

So, there's a first taste of Larry "Hates Jews, Hates Korean-Americans, pro-LGBT Groomer" Tenney.

OC Democrats, is Larry Tenney really the best you can do?
