Let’s look at Thune’s voting record: Conservative Review Liberty Score: 51% Heritage Action scorecard: 37% New American Freedom Index: 56% And he is from a red state! Why did this outcome develop? First, the majority leader controls how campaign funds are distributed; how committee assignments are made; how chairmen of […]

Senator Ron Johnson On The Leadership Fight
He makes the case, adamantly, in favor of Rick Scott. He also explains where the GOP caucus needs to go. Worth a listen. Start at the 24:50 mark:
The Senate Leadership Race
You will find a great video below that discusses the events of the last 36 hours in the Senate leadership race. Benny Johnson nails it. This is an enormously consequential decision being made in the Senate because the confirmation of Trump’s nominations and appointments, and the enactment of his agenda, […]
Rick Scott For US Senate Majority Leader
His chances might be shaky. I don’t know. One of his opponents, John Thune, issued a not-so-veiled threat against Trump within the last day or so not to intervene in the race for Senate Majority Leader. Scott would be a much better choice: We have been given a mandate by […]
GOP Senators To Choose The Wrong Leader?
Senator Rick Scott is, by leaps and bounds, the best choice to be the new Senate Majority Leader. He is a reasonably consistent, passionate conservative. However, Revolver News is reporting that the establishment candidate John Cornyn from Texas has the inside track. It seems the Republicans never learn from their […]
Senate Conservatives Fund Endorsees

This includes several incumbents including Ted Cruz, Rick Scott and Josh Hawley, all of whom are running for re-election. But several challengers are endorsed also to attempt to flip socialist seats in the US Senate. […]
Some Problems Surfacing at the Republican National Convention
I have watched some of the convention. While there are numerous references to God and Jesus Christ, particularly in connection with Trump’s life being spared during the assassination attempt, there have also been some anti-Christian references. Particularly for Christian conservatives, we are observing some worrisome speeches and presentations and tendencies […]
Raleigh Republicans In Milwaukee
It is inevitable that some of the Republicans who serve in the General Assembly are attending the Republican National Convention this week. Their “short session” had recently adjourned, but there is apparently a plan to reconvene within the next few months perhaps. A couple of examples should be offered regarding […]
Good-Bye, Summerfield
The Triad Business Journal reports David Couch exulting over his victory after having bought off the North Carolina General Assembly: “For nearly a decade, all I’ve wanted to do is use my private property – in a town that I love and call home – to construct new homes for […]
Another GOP Fail in Utah
John Curtis won his Republican primary for US Senate in Utah against conservative Trent Staggs. Curtis will likely replace Mitt Romney in the Senate. Curtis is a former Democratic party chair who has supported the LGBT agenda. The state of Utah is therefore replacing one liberal Republican with another. This […]
