Free Republic

First, let’s be brutally honest – This latest manipulation by Ryan is nothing but pure Machiavellian political maneuvering by the professional republican party in an effort to keep the unwashed masses from recognizing intentional usurpation. This is professional political ‘gaslighting‘ folks, and it is beyond infuriating:

What Kasich doesn't like to talk about, however, is that after the first few rounds of voting, the delegates are free to vote for whomever they want. Ryan's failure to participate in the primary won't matter. . . .Of course, Ryan has said he doesn't want to run for president. At least not right now. But his modus operandi has been to say he doesn't want something and then end up with it anyway. . . . So why not go with Kasich over Ryan at the convention? Because I'm not convinced Kasich can win if Trump runs as an...

MADISON, Wis. — House Speaker Paul Ryan is being challenged in the Republican primary by a Wisconsin businessman who says he once volunteered for the congressman but now feels betrayed.

First, let’s be brutally honest – This latest manipulation by Ryan is nothing but pure Machiavellian political maneuvering by the professional republican party in an effort to keep the unwashed masses from recognizing intentional usurpation. This is professional political ‘gaslighting‘ folks, and it is beyond infuriating: https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/ryan-daca-tweet.jpg?w=640 Filthy, lying CRAPWEASEL… Remember: #1) The Omnibus spending bill, created and endorsed by Ryan, funded Obama’s November 2014 Executive Action on Amnesty (DAPA) 100%. #2) Paul Ryan was an actual participant in the legislative house construct to pass the Senate’s 2013 ‘amnesty’ Gang-of-Eight bill in June 2014. Ryan, Cantor and Boehner were only...

Panama Papers SCANDAL! & Is a new Crisis brewing in the Middle East? Recorded Saturday (4/9) 8 AM EST This week, world elites were rocked by the release of the Panama Papers, demonstrating that world leaders, their friends and family, and the super wealthy routinely use offshore companies for tax avoidance.

From Yemen to Iraq to Gaza, Iran continues to fund and arm terrorist insurgencies that are reshaping the region. Not only Israel, but the Gulf states and their Sunni allies are preparing for potential confrontation....

If you believe, as we do, that it is time to break the Washington Cartel’s grip on the national Republican Party, and to nominate and elect a conservative outsider as President, yesterday’s Republican presidential primary was good news. But if you want to break the Washington Cartel’s grip on power, and its outsized influence over the Republican Party, yesterday’s presidential primary wasn’t the most important election. Paul RyanWisconsin’s most important election is the coming August 9 Republican Primary in which conservative entrepreneur Paul Nehlen is taking on Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in Wisconsin’s Fist Congressional District. Yes, it...

Lindsey Ellefson writes at Mediaite: It was the ad that launched a thousand blog posts. Liz Mair of Make America Awesome appeared on CNN Tonight to talk to Don Lemon about the infamous ad featuring Melania Trump that spurred Donald Trump into attacking Heidi Cruz. Trump blamed Cruz for the initial attack on his wife in spite of the fact that it was done by the Make America Awesome superPAC. Mair responded to that by telling Lemon, “The truth is it’s me. It’s just me.” When asked if Cruz had any involvement in the ad, she said this...

House Speaker Paul Ryan is facing a primary challenge in Wisconsin from businessman Paul Nehlen. The congressional election is in August. Mr. Nehlen recently gave an introductory interview to the Daily Ledger:

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough thinks House Speaker Paul Ryan, who will arrive in Cleveland this July as chairman of the Republican National Convention, has a better chance of becoming the GOP presidential nominee than Ted Cruz. "Ted Cruz will never be the nominee," the former Florida congressman said matter-of-factly on his program Wednesday morning. "You don't think he's the second most likely nominee?" a panelist responded. "No. Not even close," Scarborough shot back. The same panelist then asked Scarborough "who's more likely to be the nominee?" "You know what? Paul Ryan," he responded. "You name the list. [Cruz] right now –...

Most of my Republican friends cannot understand the popularity of Donald Trump. Let me explain the Trump follower’s rationale this way: If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’re going to keep getting what you’ve been getting. There are those of us who are fed up with how the Republicans have been giving away the power we have given them. We elected them to the majorities in the Legislature, but there is little to show for it. Borders, taxes, regulation, accountability and terrorism still are horrible problems. We have learned that our voting for the republicans has NOT been...

Veteran political strategist and informal adviser for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump Roger Stone warns on Breitbart News Daily that the loss in Wisconsin should be a “wakeup call” for the Trump campaign, which he says should invest in campaign infrastructure to sew up the party’s nomination. “It’s an early wakeup call, as it were, for the Trump campaign,” Stone, who predicted earlier that Trump would lose Wisconsin, tells Stephen K. Bannon. Trump’s campaign has been fueled, from the beginning, with these hot button issues and an extraordinary communications-based strategy, where you utilize these huge rallies, the incredible media coverage they...

Rebecca Bradley elected to state Supreme Court From the Wisconsin 2016 spring election series WAUWATOSA — Justice Rebecca Bradley was elected Tuesday to a 10-year seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating state Appeals Judge JoAnne Kloppenburg in a bitter, highly charged race. With 98 percent of precincts reporting, Bradley held a decisive lead over Kloppenburg, who made her second unsuccessful run for a seat on the state’s highest court. Bradley told supporters at a election night party in Wauwatosa that she drew strength during the campaign from her fiance who, during tough moments of the spring campaign, quoted Winston...

Tuesday following the outcome of the Wisconsin GOP presidential primary, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity” to answer questions from host Sean Hannity about the nominating process. Priebus downplayed any talk of the nominee being someone other than who is still running, including House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). “Well look, clearly there’s a rule in place that candidates now need a majority of eight states’ delegates – eight different states’ delegates, a majority to be even nominated,” Priebus said. “I’ve said it before. It’s not like I’m making news. I believe – our...

Big news in the Hispanic community – Hispanic Patriots founder [Dah-leeth] Dahlys Hamilton – a very well known and respected Hispanic leader has finally given up on Ted Cruz: "I'M GETTING OFF "LYIN' TED'S" CRUZ SHIP AND BOARDING THE TRUMP TRAIN! After spending several months researching, and asking the Lord to reveal the truth to me about this election, when the revelations started coming, I really did not want to believe what I was uncovering. Ultimately, I had no choice but to admit I have been deceived--and so have many of you." Hamilton organized an event in Georgia last year...

We were hoping against hope that this would not continue, but I guess until some law enforcement agency is willing to stand up and stop it, the Cruzers will continue unabated. Wisconsin TV station WKOW TV, the ABC affiliate in Madison, started getting voter fraud calls early this morning. Apparently voting machines would not let some voters vote for Donald Trump “The station has spoken with multiple witnesses and is in the process of verifying statements from Burnett, Clark, Dane, Polk and Portage counties.” According to Jeremy Rogers from Burnett county: “It was the strangest thing. The machine literally would...

People voting for Donald Trump in today’s Wisconsin primary are seeing their ballots changed to show a vote for Ted Cruz. Calls began flooding in early this morning to Madison-based ABC affiliate WKOW with reports of voting machines across the state switching votes entered for GOP front runner Donald Trump to his establishment counterpart Ted Cruz. The station has spoken with multiple witnesses and is in the process of verifying statements from Burnett, Clark, Dane, Polk and Portage counties. According to one witness identified as Jeremy Rogers from Burnett county, “It was the strangest thing. The machine literally would not...

Some voters may be tempted to crossover in Wisconsin's open primary, according to a local professor. Meaning registered voters can vote in the opposite party's primary if they choose. UW-Stevens point professor Ed Miller doesn't predict there will be much crossover, but if there is, he thinks it will be to the democratic side. "If the democrats didn't have a contest, and if Sanders didn't appear to be strong - now I don't know whether he can win some people say he can..." He explained. "My guess is that democrats will probably vote in the democratic primary rather than crossover...

MILWAUKEE – In a year when political tensions already are running high, a group of protesters is fueling the acrimony by showing up to political rallies and events with a large American flag – and stomping on it. The members of the self-described “F*** Your Flag Tour” most recently popped up at a Donald Trump rally Sunday in West Allis, Wis. They posted themselves next to the line of thousands of people waiting to get into the Republican presidential front-runner’s event at the local high school. They proceeded to lay the muddied flag on the ground and stand on it,...

While we disagree with Mr. Buchanan on which candidate is the best standard bearer for the conservative movement there is one thing we do agree on – passionately. No matter who gets the Republican nomination, the establishment must lose. In a recent column “Lock Out The Establishment In Cleveland!” Pat Buchanan echoed the conclusions of our four-part series on what conservatives should do if Trump wins the nomination: As Buchanan explained, to accomplish that goal, “All Trump and Cruz need do is instruct their delegates to vote to retain Rule 40 from the 2012 convention. Rule 40 declares that no...
