US: Arizona (News/Activism)

You would have to go back to the 1960s and early 1970s and the days when Nelson Rockefeller was Governor of New York to find a more anti-conservative Republican than Senator John McCain of Arizona. Which is why, as Senator McCain seeks an unprecedented sixth term in the US Senate, we are pleased to endorse Dr. Kelli Ward to replace him. Over his 30+ years in the Senate and House John McCain has gone out of his way to antagonize conservatives in Arizona and nationally, especially on matters of amnesty for illegal aliens, the Second Amendment Kelli Wardand spending and...

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) still counts himself a Donald Trump supporter -- at least, last we checked. Even in roundly criticizing Trump's attack on the parents of a fallen Muslim U.S. soldier, he reiterated Monday that he will support Trump. Now we have Trump's response to the criticism and the continued support: the Republican nominee told The Post on Tuesday he's not necessarily backing McCain or House Speaker Paul Ryan in their contested primaries. McCain has options. He can keep supporting a guy who won't support him. Or he can withdraw his Trump endorsement at the risk of it looking...

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence told a cheering Tucson audience Tuesday the party is moving in a singular direction going into the general election. "We are united," Pence told an almost full house of 1,000 at the Fox Tucson Theatre downtown. "We are coming together." Pence's speech and responses to audience questions expanded on the Republican Party's positions on many issues, including one comment that, "Firearms in the hand of law-abiding citizens make communities more safe." Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's running mate called on audience members to thank police officers in the auditorium and said, "Donald Trump will...

On Tuesday, Trump’s campaign is dispatching vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence to the state for two public events, a tangible sign of Republicans’ concern that Arizona could be competitive this year — while local Democrats, thinking along the same lines, are intensely lobbying Hillary Clinton’s campaign and national Democratic groups for the resources to help make it happen. Prominent Arizona Democrats have been urging Bill Clinton to press the campaign to direct more money into the rapidly changing, Hispanic-heavy state, which he carried in 1996, the last time it went Democratic in a presidential election. They continued that push with officials...

Senator John McCain injected himself into the controversy between Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Khizr Khan Monday. His primary opponent, former Arizona state Senator Dr. Kelli Ward, immediately called McCain out for falling for the "cynical political stunt cooked up by the Clinton Establishment." In a statement provided to Breitbart News, Dr. Ward rips both Clinton and McCain. "The Khan controversy is a cynical political stunt cooked up by the Clinton Establishment, and, sadly, John McCain has fallen right into it." She adds, "McCain’s statement today makes clear that he really wants Hillary Clinton in the White House, and...

John McCain warned Donald Trump on Monday that his feud with the Muslim father of a slain U.S. Army captain is putting him on even shakier ground with Republican voters, and Trump needs to set a much better example if he hopes to win GOP votes. "Arizona is watching," McCain warned in a statement. "It is time for Donald Trump to set the example for our country and the future of the Republican Party. While our party has bestowed up on him the nomination, it is not accompanied by unfettered license to defame those who are the best among us."

Sen. John McCain is facing a direct challenge now that Alex Meluskey has suspended his bid. That clears the way for Dr. Kelli Ward to attempt unite the Republican vote against McCain in the Arizona primary on August 30. Polls show McCain struggling to rise above forty percent in the Republican primary, but so far he’s benefited from the anti-McCain vote being split among several challengers. A Public Policy Polling survey of the Republican Primary showed former State Senator Ward tied with McCain 41-41 head-to-head but trailing 39-26 when three other candidates were included in the poll. One of those...

Leaders of military medicine are promising TRICARE beneficiaries a smooth transition of healthcare coverage next year when three support contract regions (North, South and West) are reorganized into two (East and West), and many TRICARE users see different contractors take charge of civilian provider networks that deliver health benefits off base. The two new mammoth TRICARE support contracts, valued at a combined $58 billion over five years, are designed to more standardize care quality across networks, improve monitoring of provider performance, and smooth continuity of care by requiring networks providers to share patient care data with the military direct care...

John McCain was a pilot in Viet Nam and there is no question that he and his fellow POWs suffered immeasurably in the Hanoi Hilton. For that we owe them all a debt of gratitude. Yet that does not give any one person the right to do harm to our country from a legislative position nor to put others in peril around the world by ill-conceived policy. Since I have been in Congress, Senator John McCain has pushed an agenda ranging from blanket amnesty for illegal aliens to support for President Barrack Obama’s and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s...

... The solution favored among ranchers is infused with a fatalism that nothing will change — government being government, and the cartels always one step ahead — so why bother. But here it goes: Intensive, round-the-clock patrols along the border are required for a fence or wall to work; otherwise, those determined to cross will always find a way. But, they argue, if you have boots on the ground, you will have no need for anything so beautiful as the Great Wall of Trump. It is easy, from a distance, to dismiss the ranchers along the border as right-wing Chicken...

SIERRA VISTA — A representative from the Army Corps of Engineers revealed the findings Wednesday of a four-year munitions study of more than 1,500 acres in the San Pedro Riparian Conservation Area (SPRNCA), southeast of the San Pedro House. The study was looking for live munitions or other environmental factors from World War II Army use that would impact the acreage. Two live explosives and fragments of explosives in the dense, thorny acreage were discovered. A third live explosive was carried out by a hiker and turned over to local authorities. “It is not a hospitable site,” said 1st Lt....

When Arizona delegates to the Republican National Convention were asked Thursday how many would not vote for Sen. John McCain in next month's primary, more than half of their hands went up. The question stunned veteran pollster Frank Luntz, who had asked it as a part of a presentation on the last day of the convention on the challenges facing the party - one of which was party unity. "Oh my God," Luntz said. "Where's the chairman? You should have told me this before."

Jeff Flake Verified account â€@JeffFlake Trying to count the ways I hate @timkaine. Drawing a blank. Congrats to a good man and a good friend. If that's not all, during the convention, he tweeted this: @HillaryClinton now belongs in prison? C'mon. We can make the case that she shouldn't be elected without jumping the shark. — Jeff Flake (@JeffFlake) July 20, 2016 Jeff Flake has been adamantly opposed to Donald Trump and is one of the leaders of and heroes of the #NeverTrump movement. He has nothing good to say about Trump and got into a confrontation with Trump when...

Dr. Kelli Ward, the candidate for U.S. Senate in Arizona running against Sen. John McCain, told Breitbart News Daily SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon that McCain is not at the GOP Convention in Cleveland to hear many so called “little people” speak because he’s more interested in “maintaining his power, maintaining the status quo in Washington, D.C., and making sure that the establishment strongholds that are in our Beltway remain strong.”

There are many prominent Republicans who have stayed away from the Republican National Convention this week. Prominent among them is former GOP nominee, Sen. John McCain, who says he's not even watching the convention and is focused instead on winning re-election.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Shortly after being officially introduced as Donald Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was trending on Twitter — but it had nothing to do with politics. Pence posted a photo of his family eating at a Chili’s restaurant in New York, prompting a storm of tweets.

By Dean Weingarten I chanced to be at the local WalMart in Yuma today. This is the store on the frontage road off of old Highway 8, East of town. Until Friday, June 24, 2016, I had not seen any .22 Long Rifle in the store for three years.On that date, there were 2,300 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags and 1,000 rounds of CCI Standard Velocity. The Mini-Mags were in plastic 100 round boxes at $7.47 a box. The Standard Velocity were in paper, 50 round boxes at $3.47 a box. I was told by the clerk, Yittzel, that they would...
