Newsbusters ^ | September 9, 2026 | P.J. Gladnick

According to Politico Playbook on Wednesday, things are really, really bad for the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. To support their claim of disaster for that convention, the Politico team of Adam Wren, Dasha Burns, Will Steakin, and Megan Messerly cited — wait for it —conveniently unnamed sources to back up their premise of doom and gloom.

The unnamed sources made their invisible cameos in “‘The vibes are very bad’ in Texas,’” only to immediately disappear into the political ether to avoid anything resembling a fact check of their whispered claims:

Thank you very much and God bless you.

When Politico uses unnamed sources, that is the key that the sliming is in process.

The same sources who claim Talarico will win in Texas?

Speaking of Talarico, where does the Deep State groom and grow these people? He seems as “authentic”, to me, as Z-man in Ukraine.

The DS is running its own CIA operatives for State Governorships and more.

And America is not supposed to notice?

Everything Trump says, everything anyone in his cabinet says is always prefaced by ‘WITHOUT EVIDENCE’.

But, everything the MSM says, without any citations or named sources is always stone cold hard indisputable facts!

Maybe, New York City does not well-represent America.

We live in a nation where people are supposed to be free to speak their minds, but it was also supposed to be that we had a choice of to whom to listen.

Politico’s people were taking special favors and trips from CCP. The CCP doesn’t like the Tariffs on their products. They diverted them to Canada to hide it, and now Canadians will suffer for their governments involvement with the CCP.

Politico isn’t just partisan, it’s basically un-American.

I heard the verbal responses and applause of the crowd in Dallas when watching Newsmax coverage of the event... and just from the few times I heard that, I could tell that the “vibes” are very, very good and extremely enthusiastic. Much to the chagrin of the lying leftists, of course.

But as usual, they are counting on lazy and apathetic viewers to just take what they say as accurate and not bother to ‘fact-check’ their BS. And sadly, many will do just that.

Without evidence, the MSM reports the news.

I am literally getting between 54 and 67 GOP / Republican / RINO / Conservative org emails a day. My iPhone doesn’t have email domain blocking ability, so I have to block them one by one. I did find out last night that iCloud has whole domain-level blocking, as long as you log in with your browser and set it.

This crud has to stop. We haven’t given to anyone because of this horrific spam and text barrage.

The GOP hates its otherwise supporters.
