The longtime Democratic strategist James Carville threw cold water on Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's chances for reelection if Rep. Ruben Gallego challenges her for the party's 2024 Senate nomination in Arizona. In a recent Vox interview that was published on Thursday, Carville expressed confidence in Gallego's chances if he were to launch a primary run against the freshman senator, who was first elected in a 2018 race against then-Republican Rep. Martha McSally to great fanfare among state Democrats.

In the wake of the 2020 election, a number of Republican-controlled state legislatures have made moves to make it harder to vote. But even amid this cavalcade of voter restrictions, a new bill proposed by a GOP legislator in Arizona stands out -- and not in a good way. GOP state Rep. John Fillmore introduced legislation this week that would, among other things, get rid of almost all absentee and early voting in the state and mandate all votes be HAND-counted within 24 hours of polling sites being closed. "We should have voting, in my opinion, in person, one day...

Just a month before the 2020 election, radio host Rush Limbaugh commented that Democrats “resent the whole premise behind elections. Look, they don’t believe they should have to persuade anybody to agree with them … The modern-day Democrats have to go through the motions of campaigning, and they have to go through the motions of trying to win the hearts and minds of voters. But they resent the h-ll out of it. And in their world, it’s the one thing standing in their way: This need, this requirement to win elections. And I’m just telling you: As soon as they...

Right-wing political strategist Steve Bannon claims that the 2020 election "decertification process" has started after former President Donald Trump held a large rally in Arizona on Saturday. Trump and his allies—such as Bannon and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell—continue to falsely claim that the last presidential election was "rigged" or "stolen" in favor of President Joe Biden. Bannon, as well as a number of other prominent Trump supporters, also claim that those valid election results will be decertified—which would, in their view, allow for the former president to potentially return to the White House. Constitutional experts and many prominent Republicans have...

Yesterday, Maricopa County released a 93-page response to the Arizona Senate audit.The auditors identified hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots. They discovered internet connectivity on the Elections Management Server, deleted elections files, and several more election law violations. The County denied every claim, but they finally admitted, a year after the election, to double voting and double-counted ballots.All evidence from the Senate audit was delivered to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Arizona voters are still waiting for justice.

PHOENIX — A judge says he will fine the contractor that led Arizona Republicans' 2020 election review $50,000 a day if the firm doesn’t immediately turn over public records related to the unprecedented inquiry. The judge on Thursday found Cyber Ninjas in contempt for its failure to turn over documents in response to a lawsuit filed by The Arizona Republic newspaper. It's one of two suits seeking Cyber Ninjas records under Arizona transparency laws. A lawyer for Cyber Ninjas says the company is insolvent and has laid off all employees including former CEO Doug Logan. The company maintains it is...

The November 2020 election in Arizona’s largest county was administered properly and not marred by fraud, the Republican-led local government concluded in a lengthy report released Wednesday. The 93-page document debunks, one by one, vague allegations of potential problems previously identified by the GOP-led state Senate and championed by former president Donald Trump and his allies....The new report, produced by the Maricopa County Elections Department, concluded that the work of the private contractors hired by the GOP-led state Senate amounted to “faulty analysis, inaccurate claims, misleading conclusions” and was based on “a lack of understanding of federal and state election...

Arizona faith leaders are urging U.S. Sens. Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema to expand child tax credits as part of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda. If the credits aren’t at least extended by the end of December, the recurring monthly payments of up to $300 for every child under the age of six and $250 a month for children ages 6-17 would lapse in the new year. As passed by the House last month, the Build Back Better bill includes a one-year extension of the child tax credit. Tamera Zivic, the CEO of WHEAT, an anti-hunger and poverty...

Yesterday, Arizona state representative Mark Finchem read an anonymous letter he received that was addressed to criminal division at DOJ, that details a Democrat plan to embed 35,000 fake mail-in votes in Pima County for Joe Biden. An IP address has been obtained for the sender of the email. The letter was supposedly written by a Democrat whistleblower detailing a private meeting he attended with other Arizona Democrat officials. The letter was dated November 10, 2020, and addressed to the Criminal Division of the DOJ. American Greatness did a full writeup: https://amgreatness.com/2021/12/14/az-state-rep-reads-dem-whistleblowers-letter-to-the-doj-about-2020-election-fraud-during-election-integrity-hearing/ TEXT OF LETTER “Please be advised the Pima...

In a letter to the Department of Justice last year, an anonymous Democrat whistleblower accused fellow Democrats in Pima County, Arizona of adding approximately 35,000 votes to each of the Democrat candidates in the 2020 election. This information came out Monday, during an “ad hoc” hearing in Tucson, where Arizona State House and Senate members met to discuss election integrity issues in Pima County. During the hearing, experts provided evidence and testimony about the voting irregularities that allegedly took place during the election, including ballots from people not living where they voted, and inflated voter rolls across the Democrat-leaning county....

In September, The Gateway Pundit broke segments of undercover audio recordings featuring former Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Chucri revealing his true feelings about the 2020 Presidential Election, Dominion, and a full forensic audit of Maricopa County’s 2020 election. Chucri was busted on record, saying exactly what we have been reporting for a year now and he revealed the real reason that his colleagues were opposed to an audit: They were scared! Just one day after TGP began to break this news, Steve Chucri resigned from office in shame and embarrassment, and he completely flopped on his prior statements. On Friday...

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge John Hannah, who was appointed to the bench by former Gov. Janet Napolitano, ruled that the Arizona Senate must turn over records from the Maricopa County ballot audit to satisfy a public record request from The Arizona Republic. The newspaper and left-wing watchdog American Oversight have been engaged in litigation attempting to get records from the legislature and the contractor that conducted the audit, Cyber Ninjas. Hannah said that while the legislature may keep conversations about legislation private, under “legislative privilege,” conversations about the audit are excluded. “This is not a confidential process,” Hannah said....

In early November 2021, this correspondent was doing some target shooting and chronograph work on public land, in an unused sand and gravel pit with a good backstop, off a dirt track north of the Foothills/I8 interchange. The weather was clear and calm, about 72 degrees. I had just fired my last shot when a Yuma County deputy pulled up behind my vehicle. It was about 0940. I put down the pistol I was shooting. It was suppressed. I waited for the deputy to advance about 50 feet. The pistol was in full view.The deputy asked if I knew how...

A school board president in Arizona has been accused of maintaining a secret online dossier containing personal details about parents who opposed mask mandates and Critical Race Theory. Scottsdale Unified School District Governing Board President Jann-Michael Greenburg's access to the Google Drive file was revealed after he accidentally displayed the link in a screenshot he sent to a parent in a heated email chain. The drive contained files labeled 'SUSD Wackos' and 'Anti Mask Lunatics' among others in a sprawling database tracking the online activities of parents in the district. The drive was set to public, allowing anyone with a...

As anyone paying a modicum of attention knows, West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin has been one of the central Democratic obstacles to enacting Joe Biden’s Build Back Better plan. Unlike his enigmatic colleague Kyrsten Sinema, Manchin has been vocal about the parts of the sprawling bill he dislikes. But while his opposition to a billionaires tax, paid family leave, and a comprehensive plan to fight climate change are well-known, he has also killed the chances for several even more popular but lesser-publicized proposals. A short list below. 1) Ending spam calls about your car’s warranty. It seemed like a no-brainer....

The raging Democrats were screaming and chanting with bullhorns outside of a wedding Sinema attended. The mother of the bride came out to beg the leftists not to ruin her daughter’s wedding. The leftists didn’t care and screamed at the woman telling her to kick Sinema out of the wedding. This is the modern-day Democrat Party. They are no different than any Marxist regime in the world today. This is what you can expect when you offend these monsters. Not even your daughter’s wedding is safe from these demons.

Karen Fann, the Republican leader of the Arizona state Senate, has said that Cyber Ninjas, the private company commissioned to conduct an audit of Maricopa County's election results, is now in "breach of contract" with the state for not providing audit-related documentation. In an October 26 letter to Cyber Ninjas and CEO Doug Logan, Fann said that she had previously sent Logan a September 14 letter. In that letter, Fann told the company to submit all its audit-related records to her in order to comply with a court order. Cyber Ninjas only provided 300 records, "an insubstantial percentage of all...

Ah, Thanksgiving. A chance for the family to come together to eat food, watch football (or see whatever’s on TBS when the Lions game is on — I bet it’s Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation), and give thanks to Mike Lindell for exposing the biggest criminal cover-up in American, nay, world history. After many, uh, trial runs, the MyPillow CEO has been talking up November 25 as the day that the Supreme Court will convene to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. In fact, while you’re stuffing the turkey, Lindell will be holding a multi-day “marathon” broadcast in...

The mainstream media began lying about the results as soon as the Maricopa County election audit was released. Several media outlets falsely claimed that the audit “confirmed Biden won.” The report did no such thing. This claim focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit and either ignored or dismissed the findings of the actual forensic audit. However, earlier this month, Maricopa County officials issued a rebuttal to the forensic audit’s findings, offering what they believed to be reasonable explanations for the issues cited in the audit report.The audit team, led by the Sarasota, Florida-based Cyber Ninjas,...
