Katie Hobbs is living proof that stolen elections have consequences. ... And still the DOJ won't investigate her or her AG!

Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who is up for reelection this year, garnered backlash Tuesday after vetoing a bill aimed at preventing China from buying up land next to strategic assets, such as military bases. Arizona state Senate Majority Leader Janae Shamp said the "politically motivated veto" was "utterly insane," blaming Hobbs for being "an obstructionist against safeguarding our citizens from threats." However, Hobbs said the bill, S.B. 1109, was "ineffective at counter-espionage" and did not "directly protect" American military assets in the state. Chinese investment in land near military bases has become an increasing concern for national security hawks....

Attorney John Thaler's ex-wife does forgeries for the cartels. She married him to try to get him to stop an investigation that was getting close to finding her fraud. (Thaler's team had been hired by small financial firms who were being eaten alive by all the different kind of financial fraud) It didn't work; when he found her fraud she told him of her cartel ties and gave some evidence to him, seeking federal witness protection. The cartels and her family threatened her into giving up on that. But by then, Thaler knew what he was looking for and that...

President Trump raised eyebrows Sunday during his Turning Point AmFest speech in Phoenix, Arizona, when he pledged to support RINO Karrin Taylor Robson for Arizona Governor in 2026. Are you running for Governor? I think so, Karrin because if you do, you’re going to have my support,” Trump said while giving Robson a shoutout. Robson formerly ran in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary, endorsed by turncoat RINO Mike Pence and RINO Governor Doug Ducey, against Trump-Endorsed Kari Lake. Unlike Lake, Karrin Taylor Robson refused to acknowledge the Stolen Election or admit that Joe Biden is an illegitimate President. She would...

Absolutely no personal or identifying information is shared, and women do have the...

A top Latino group is predicting who will win the battleground state of Arizona as the historical campaign season comes to a close. LUCHA Arizona, a top Latino group in the swing state, told The Latino Newsletter that Vice President Kamala Harris will win Arizona over former President Donald Trump. However, the group also warned that she will win by a smaller margin that President Joe Biden did in 2020. “I think we’re going to win very, very narrowly, I think it’s going to be closer than 10,000 votes,” Alejandra Gomez, the group’s executive director, told The Latino Newsletter. Biden...

A newly leaked phone call between Arizona’s Democratic statewide officeholders reveals how they scrambled to find a narrative before announcing a statewide error that validated the citizenship of nearly 100,000 voters. “It’s going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections,” said Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on the call obtained by the Washington Post. “They’re going to be calling for new 2020 and ’22 elections as well,” Hobbs worried, referencing her own election that she rigged and stole from Kari Lake last midterm cycle. Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted that “all of these elections are...

Arizona's Democratic leaders, on a secret call, worried about a shocking discovery that, if made public, would see them accused of rigging the upcoming election and question the results of the last two. 'When this goes public, it is going to have all of the conspiracy theorists in the globe — in the world — coming back to re-litigate the past three elections, at least in Arizona,' Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs said on the call, a recording of which was obtained by The Washington Post. As they game planned scenarios on how to respond, it became apparent it was about...

Gov. Katie Hobbs has been caught red-handed violating state law by appointing 13 agency heads without the Senate’s approval, according to a ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Scott Blaney. This move was an attempt to bypass the traditional cabinet approval process, which Hobbs described as a “political circus” orchestrated by the Republican-controlled Senate. This ruling could ignite a new round of political gamesmanship as Hobbs tries to get her agency heads past the Senate’s scrutiny. It also raises questions about the future leadership of state agencies that manage critical programs like unemployment, housing assistance, and Medicaid. Hobbs had...

Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has remained mum about her recent veto of legislation aimed at curbing China’s gruesome forced organ-harvesting trade, which targets detained ethnic and religious minorities, mostly Uyghur Muslims, Tibetans, Christians, and Falun Gong practitioners. The April 10 veto has proponents of the legislation and human rights activists scratching their heads. Over the last year, Texas, Utah, and Idaho have enacted similar legislation, and legislatures in Missouri, Ohio, and North Carolina are debating similar measures. The bipartisan bills would prevent health insurance plans from reimbursing individuals for any organ transplants in China or other U.S. adversaries. They also...
