Putney told WBTV News he will stay in his current position through the “preparation and execution” of the Republican National Convention in late August but didn’t give an exact retirement date. (Source: Paige Pauroso) CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - At the tail end of a press conference discussing how to improve electronic monitoring of homicide suspects, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney altered his plans to retire at the end of the year. “I intend to retire,” said Chief Putney. “It will not be January 1, 2020.” Putney told WBTV News he will stay in his current position through the “preparation...

Pushing back against impeachment continues to be a call to action for Republicans. During an appearance on Huntsville, AL radio WVNN’s “The Jeff Poor Show” on Monday, Republican National Committee national spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington explained how fundraising and activism for Republicans are on the upswing in the wake of the House Democrats’ impeachment push against President Donald Trump.

New RNC ad uses Democrats' own words on impeachment against them

Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $300 million this year for his reelection — more than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign. Trump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the RNC — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run. Already this year, Trump’s campaign operation has spent close to $23 million on TV and digital advertising, more than 10 times the amount that the lone major Democratic super PAC...

EXCLUSIVE: The Republican National Committee raised a record-setting $27.3 million in September and had $59.2 million cash on hand last month amid the impeachment push against President Trump -- which has fueled GOP campaign contributions heading into the 2020 election. The RNC’s September fundraising haul is the best off-cycle month in the history of both the Republican and Democratic parties. This cycle, to date, the RNC has almost tripled the Democratic National Committee’s fundraising efforts, according to the GOP, which also noted that the Democrats, as of last month, carried $7.3 million in debt. “While Democrats focus on fighting President...

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Republican National Committee has launched an ambitious fundraiser to help the Democrats televise a debate every weeknight. The move is expected to drum up significant support for the Republicans, not on their own merit but on the wackiness of the Dems. "Look, it's tough for us to raise money by just saying the same talking points we've been using for years," said RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. "Frankly, a lot of our policy positions are kind weird and not all that conservative. But if we can just let the Democrats talk for hours every night, we're sure to win."...

In February 2017, the Washington Post’s Miller had the lead byline on a story based on leaks of Trump’s conversations with Australia’s prime minister and Mexico’s president. Six months later, the Post published the entire transcripts of both conversations in another Miller story. It was through such national security correspondents that anti-Trump sources -- intelligence officials -- pushed leaks of classified information and other tidbits intended to damage Trump into the media. There it merged with other anti-Trump currents in nearly every corner of the press, where it blossomed into Russiagate. After a nearly two-year investigation, the special counsel found...

....there are more where he came from, the RNC previewed in an email to supporters on Friday. The RNC is spending over $2M highlighting House Democrats' broken promises in target districts. Ads will begin airing this Sunday, September 29th in 25-50 House districts. Over $10M will be spent across TV and digital exposing the Democrats’ impeachment charade. Ronna McDaniel ✔ @GOPChairwoman This is just the beginning of an all-out fight to defend our democracy & our president. Dozens of House Dems campaigned on working with @realDonaldTrump, yet fell in line with Pelosi & the Squad. Voters don't support this impeachment...

President Trump on Tuesday dismissed three potential Republican presidential primary challengers as "Three Stooges" as he seeks reelection in 2020. In a pair of tweets, the president mocked former Reps. Mark Sanford (R-S.C.) and Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) as well as former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R). Walsh and Weld have announced GOP primary campaigns against Trump in 2020, while Sanford has said he is considering one as well. "Can you believe it? I’m at 94% approval in the Republican Party, and have Three Stooges running against me," Trump tweeted. "One is Mr. 'Appalachian Trail' who was actually in Argentina for...

In a video released on Wednesday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) went on offense against members of the so-called “The Squad,” which includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). One aspect of the advertisement tied the rhetoric from those four members to an attack on an ICE facility in Tacoma, WA and noted “The Squad” refused to condemn the attack. In an interview with Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN on Wednesday, RNC national spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington explained the inspiration for the video, which she was to emphasize the how this foursome she called...

Credit to Posobiec for hosting but WOW.

Everyone else wants the names of the FBI officials who approved the unprecedented law enforcement dragnet against low-level Trump aides in the middle of a presidential campaign. I want the names of the staffers at the Republican National Committee who prepared Trump’s “backgrounders” on potential hires for the new administration. (I’m not interested in finding out who leaked them because I assume it was the Russians.) When America is no more, future generations are going to want to know who murdered our country. Below is a random selection of the idiotic quotes from the RNC’s vetting document on Kris Kobach,...

RUSH: Anyway, the Democrats are all excited about that. They’re all excited about the picture. They’re all excited about Democrat debates beginning tonight! They’re all excited about the ongoing prospect of getting rid of Donald Trump before the 2020 election and, failing that, they want to get rid of Trump at the 2020 election. I got a flash message last night from one of the staff here. Here it is. “I worry about the status of literacy in our country. I worry about the status of overall education.” What I have here is a photo. And I don’t need to...

Say goodbye to MAGA Country, and hello to … KAGville? “How do you give up the number one call it theme, logo, statement, in the history of politics for a new one?” Donald Trump asked an overflow crowd in Orlando, where he formally launched his re-election campaign. Simple — you declare mission accomplished to Make America Great Again. The new mission statement: Keep America Great.And indeed, the president declared victory on a number of fronts: Trump claimed his presidential tenure has borne true his new campaign slogan, pointing to his administration’s accomplishments.“We have really done it,” the Republican said....

In years past, I have refused to contribute one penny to the RNC. I did contribute heavily to the Trump Campaign. Lately, I have been getting texts from "Trump" or "Melania" asking me to donate to Trump Re-Election...('text yes to reply'.)...and, I text 'yes'....only to see a charge to my credit card that posts to the RNC.......Did the Trump Campaign give the RNC my info?...I have seriously mixed feelings about this. I think that Ronna Romney McDaniel kicks her uncle's A**......and I like her so far for her positions re Trump.....but I still do not trust the RNC..............Question: does donating...

Newly-elected Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) has unveiled an excellent Tucker Carlson-esque populist-nationalist platform to move the GOP beyond boomer conservatism. This is the best vision I've seen since Steve Bannon's 2016 platform for Trump (which Trump abandoned for boomer conservatism).THE BIG IDEA: Josh Hawley, the youngest member of the Senate, was born on Dec. 31, 1979 -- the final day of a sclerotic decade. The freshman Republican from Missouri argues that the GOP must now move away from the shibboleths of his childhood to become the party that stands in unflinching opposition to elites. "It's not 1980 anymore. We've got...

The Republican National Committee (RNC) released a brutal ad slamming socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) over their stances on letting convicted terrorists vote while they are in prison.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld announced Monday he is officially entering the race for president, becoming the first Republican to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 race. "Ours is a nation built on courage, resilience, and independence. In these times of great political strife, when both major parties are entrenched in their 'win at all cost' battles, the voices of the American people are being ignored and our nation is suffering," Weld, who had previously formed an exploratory committee, said in a statement. "It is time for patriotic men and women across our great nation to stand and plant...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hasn't been in office very long and we've all seen right through her. We know she's a hypocrite. She likes to tout her Socialist ideas that "benefit everyone" and the "community as a whole" but really, she's talking out of both sides of her mouth. She wants everyone to share their hard earned money but she doesn't want to share hers. She wants "dark money" out of politics, but only if that money is someone other than hers.After all, just a few days ago a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint was filed against Ocasio-Cortez, saying her chief...
