  • Companies must fight back against wokeness: Now, Hyatt is taking flak for having hosted CPAC. This sort of madness isn't going to end anytime soon

    Hyatt-Regency is under woke attack for sponsoring CPAC in Orlando, where adoring MAGA thousands expressed their affection for Donald Trump. Though Hyatt has hunkered down somewhat in the face of leftist screaming, the company doesn't really come across as all that cowed. Maybe it would buy into the following. Remember the nationwide outpouring for Chick-fil-A a few years ago (before it, too, went woke)? Businesses that openly favor Trump's America need to take advantage of the simmering irritation going on outside the pages of the woke media. Once the unwoke public understand who's really in their corner and who holds...
  • Scorched Earth: President Trump Must Call Out ALL The Snakes In The Republican Party

    Donald Trump isn’t going away. That was the loud, clear, and definitive message of last weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando. President Trump’s first speech since leaving office was the only event of real importance, and it showed that he remains by far the most popular and most important figure in conservative, nationalist politics. And that fact drives home an important reality: Whether he plans another presidential run or not, President Trump must shape the Republican Party in a positive direction. And that means wielding his massive popularity carefully. Understandably, the chief target of President Trump’s speech was the...
  • Liberals claimed CPAC stage was Nazi symbol. But company whose founder is 'very liberal' designed stage.

    Liberals claimed over the weekend that the stage used at the Conservative Political Action Conference resembled symbols used by German Nazis. But, as it turned out, the stage was designed by a Maryland-based company that designed stages for President Joe Biden and whose owner is a Biden supporter. According to Forward, the company responsible for designing the stage, Design Foundry, said the stage was designed to make best use of the conference space — not to propagate Nazi hate. The company told Forward that it "had no idea that the design resembled any symbol, nor was there any intention to...

    I want to share ome things I’m taking away from CPAC and the first few weeks of The Biden and Company fiasco. Her are my thoughts and predictions. Please give yours. I'm the first to admit that I've been down in the dumps since November 3rd 2020. No FOX News, no pundit watching, no nothing. Maybe I should check out Newsmax and the others, but since the "Joke Election of 2020" I'm getting most if not all news from Free REpublic. It's been comforting to know that there are many other brothers and sisters on this forum, with the same...
  • Trump Issues Clarion Call for Election Integrity

    After 40 days offstage, Donald Trump returned to the national spotlight on Sunday, and not a moment too soon. His rip-roaring, 90-minute address to CPAC covered many familiar themes, building to a new conclusion that “one of the most urgent issues facing the Republican party is that of ensuring fair, honest, and secure elections.”Trump’s clarion call could not be more timely, as Nancy Pelosi’s Congress is set to pass a bill that would enshrine Democrat ballot stuffing into federal law forever. Among its many bad ideas, H.R. 1 would require automatic and same-day voter registration, prohibit voter ID, forbid signature...

    The annual CPAC conference, now in its 47th year, is the premier stage on which GOP stars and neophytes can strut their stuff and position themselves as potential contenders for national office. Notwithstanding the scaled-back venue for the event last weekend in Florida instead of Washington, DC, the event presented a parade of talent which, if Republicans play it smart, should provide a generation of strong leadership for a political party needing a winning strategy and a clear message. While the media’s attention understandably was focused on former President Donald Trump’s Sunday afternoon speech, the real worth of the conference...

    Hyatt Hotels distanced itself further from the stage design at the CPAC 2021 conference in Orlando this past weekend, saying it would have scrapped the layout if it knew about its resemblance to a Nazi symbol. The hotel chain also criticized CPAC attendees for the “disrespect” it showed employees who asked them to follow company policy and Orange County law requiring masks because of the pandemic. In response, CPAC’s attorney issued a letter accusing Hyatt of “slanderous” and “false and malicious claims” and said Hyatt was involved in every step of the design process. A CPAC spokesman also said Hyatt...

    Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., continued his war of words Tuesday against former President Donald Trump, calling his CPAC speech "boring" and lambasting one of Trump's staunchest supporters, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., as being "smug" during his address to the conservative weekend audience. "I thought the first time we had heard Donald Trump speak, it would be shocking," Kinzinger told CNN's "New Day" of Trump's address, the first made after he left the White House. "He could have given that speech in September. "No new ideas," he continued. "To me, it looked like someone that just needed his monthly dose of...

    The American Conservative Union (ACU), the organization behind the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), is “seriously considering all options,” ACU President Matt Schlapp told PJ Media on Monday after ACU’s general counsel sent a letter to Hyatt protesting the company’s decision to breathe new life into a conspiracy theory regarding the CPAC stage.Leftist detractors strained to find a Nazi symbol related to CPAC, and they seized on the shape of the main stage. Leftists claimed that the stage was an inverted Odal rune, symbol some Neo-Nazi groups use.Dear @HyattAre you okay with Nazi symbols being used on your properties? Because...

    Making his first public speech since leaving office, ex-President Donald Trump on Sunday targeted for defeat leading Trump critic Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., and Republicans who voted to impeach Trump or convict him after his Senate trial. “Get rid of them all,” said Trump before an adoring crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference meeting in Orlando. Trump read off the names of the 10 House members, including Kinzinger, who voted to impeach him a second time plus senators who voted to convict him, including Mitt Romney of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. On “Face the Nation,” Kinzinger said,...

    The left has been able to maintain a bulls**t reputation for decades as the party that parties. It’s the all-inclusive party of the “new” and the proud. At the Democrat Party, you could let your freak flag fly. It was all a sham. In truth, the left and its Democrat Party are the most ideologically rigid entities in the western world. It meets disagreement with force, not open-mindedness or debate. It has a habit of “othering” people and you or a group you belong to may go from the toast of the town to being an “other” very quickly. Your...

    My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell was cut off during an interview at the Conservative Political Action Conference Sunday after he hurled wild conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the vaccines for the virus. Lindell was stopped in the middle of his interview with host Liz Willis of the conservative YouTube channel Right Side Broadcasting Network when he claimed that people who did not have the coronavirus were being diagnosed with it. “You stub your toe, and they say, ‘Oh you’ve got COVID.’ Let’s pile on, you know,” Lindell told Willis — who interrupted him to quickly shut the conversation down.

    Conservatives have the right to gather and peacefully express their views, Hyatt Hotels said Friday. The hotel chain began facing blowback from left-wing activists last week for allowing this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to be held at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. “We take pride in operating a highly inclusive environment and we believe that the facilitation of gatherings is a central element of what we do as a hospitality company,” a spokesperson for Hyatt told Fox Business. “We believe in the right of individuals and organizations to peacefully express their views, independent of the degree to...
  • The CPAC stage was shaped like the Othala rune [Garbage article and simple response]

    The Forward ^ | March 1, 2021 | Mira Fox
    At the just-wrapped Conservative Political Action Conference, or CPAC, headlining speaker Donald Trump made an inflammatory speech from a strange, zig-zagging stage. The speech, of course, drew attention, but it featured largely the kind of content we have grown to expect from the former president. The stage itself, however, drew anger for its shape — identical to that of the Odal or Othala rune, historically used as a Nazi insignia.

    It's still a Trump party, but it's more than that.In February 2017, I attended my first Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Donald Trump was fresh off a stunning victory in the 2016 presidential election and it was very easy to tell he had all the energy, vim, and support of the attendees. What was less certain at the time was how Trump would govern and whether his control of the Republican Party would be a longstanding feature, or just some weird detour. This weekend I attended CPAC again. This time, it was held outside of the Washington DC region for...

    Former ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley’s latest comments regarding Donald Trump are raising eyebrows. A couple of weeks after pointed criticism of the then-president’s comments before the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, Haley praised Trump in a tweet Sunday night, a couple of hours after the former president’s address at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), his first public appearance and speech since leaving the White House on Jan. 20. "Strong speech by President Trump about the winning policies of his administration and what the party needs to unite behind moving forward. The liberal media...

    The Hyatt brand of hotels is the latest victim of a boycott campaign from leftist activists upset conservative leaders have a place to share their ideas.This past weekend, the Conservative Political Action Conference came to Orlando, Florida — a state still open during the COVID-19 pandemic. For the venue, CPAC organizers chose the Hyatt Regency, which saw speeches from President Donald Trump, Senators Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley, and Reps. Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz among others.According to Leftist Twitter, the Hyatt also hosted Nazis. But if that was the ostensible goal of CPAC, boy did it fail.Bad faith Twitter...

    On today's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough attacked CPAC by trashing what he saw as false populism. He repeatedly ripped President Trump, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, and Tom Cotton for criticizing elitism while being elitist Ivy League alums themselves. Scarborough also repeatedly mentioning that he hadn't gone to an Ivy school. Boasting of his matriculation at the University of Alabama, he worked in several "Roll Tides." But Scarborough got in some snobbery of his own, twice letting it be known that he's had Ivy Leaguers working for him since he was "23, 24." So who's the elitist now? Get the rest...

    VIDEOPresident Donald Trump's speech to CPAC was in reality this year's State Of The Union Address since Joe Biden appears to be both too incoherent and incompetent to deliver one. As expected, the mainstream media unleashed its full fury upon President Trump. I look upon all these media attacks on President Trump as a good thing because it only highlights how much of an insignificant potted plant that Biden aka Mr. Cellophane is becoming.
