An aide to Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) aiming to have then-Vice President Joe Biden host an event in 2010 first reached out to a business partner of Hunter Biden with the request, emails on the first son’s abandoned laptop show. Danny O’Brien, who served as Menendez’s chief of staff from 2008 to 2015, called Eric Schwerin, Hunter’s associate at Rosemont Seneca Partners, around April 2010 to discuss the annual meeting of the US-Spain Council — which works to build ties between Washington and Madrid. “Danny wants to explore with you possibility of getting VP to host event at NAVOBs for...

Ballard recently said he is considering a run for Mitt Romney’s senate seat after the Utah RINO announced his retirement. According to VICE News, at least 7 women have accused Ballard of sexual misconduct.

I knew there was something wrong with Mitt Romney, really wrong, when my mom – a daughter of Pennsylvania’s steel mill country, but a dedicated Republican, told me back in 2012, “I just don’t like him.” Of course, those steel mills are all gone now, moved to China by guys who either were, or looked exactly like, Mitt Romney. Now he’s finally calling it quits as a senator, apparently by popular demand. His departure is cause for celebration. Mitt Romney is a bad person who pretends to be a good person. He is the blow-dried embodiment of everything awful about...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) took a shot at former President Donald Trump and criticized him for his lack of “leadership” during his Wednesday announcement that he is not seeking reelection in 2024. Romney criticized Trump for calling “global warming a hoax” in a video statement he released. Romney also said, “neither President Biden nor former President Trump are leading their party to confront” the “critical challenges” facing the country like the “mounting national debt, climate change, and the ambitious authoritarians of Russia and China.”

Failed presidential candidate Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) approved of the impeachment inquiry launched into President Joe Biden on Tuesday. “The fact that the White House has been singularly silent and coddled Hunter Biden suggests an inquiry is not inappropriate,” Romney told reporters House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) launched an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden for “abuse of power, obstruction, and corruption.” McCarthy said House investigators found that Joe Biden lied about his involvement in the family business and that bank records show many payments were directed to the Biden family members through shell companies. He also noted an FBI informant...

Republican Senator Mitt Romney gave a big shout out to the Biden Administration Friday, posting a video in which he claims that sending billions in taxpayer dollars to Ukraine is “the best national defense spending I think we’ve ever done.”While the economy at home is dismal, Romney claimed that a “very small amount” of money that the U.S. is sending to Ukraine, more than $200 billion and counting, is benefitting all Americans.WAR MONGERS GONNA WAR MONGER — Oh Bette 😈 (@bette_oh) August 26, 2023“The single most important thing we can do to strengthen ourselves relative to China is to see...

The dirty details of politics later but one man in my town continues to offer his message by standing on street corners all over the area... "Make America Great Again...Trump 2024"... I saw the fruit of legalized marijuana on the ground in Colorado the homeless we see everywhere in a more entrenched way than my hometown... Eisenhower reminded us in his farewell speech as President about that: "Military Industrial Complex" That MIC very active in relation to Ukraine nowadays. And since the days of President Eisenhower something else has emerged namely the: "Medical Industrial Complex" The legal assault by Idaho...

IMAGE CREDIT: TRENT STAGGS FOR UTAH/YOUTUBE “I believe I can help bring Utah’s values and Utah lessons to Washington,” declared Mitt Romney in the launch of his 2018 campaign for U.S. Senate. “Let there be no question, I will fight for Utah.”Predicated on a pledge of constituent representation, fiscal responsibility, and intellectual integrity, Romney was elected to the U.S. Senate and currently serves in the upper chamber as Utah’s junior senator.There’s just one problem. The carpetbagging former governor of Massachusettes and 2012 Republican presidential nominee has routinely sold out the people whose values he pledged to faithfully represent and...

Good news, everyone! Mitt Romney (D, but R when necessary-Utah) has a plan for victory in the 2024 presidential race. That plan involves forcing Trump out of the field of candidates. Romney outlined his pathway to victory in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. While bemoaning the fact that Trump will likely be the nominee, Romney holds out hope that The Donald can be defeated, provided the race is narrowed down to two contenders before Trump “sews up” the nomination. For that to happen, the mega-donors and influencers in the GOP must convince those candidates who do not have...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) has called upon the Republican donor class to start pressuring low-polling GOP candidates into dropping out of the 2024 presidential race to defeat Trump. Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday. He said that the donor class needs to pressure candidates with no path to drop out by February of next year at the very latest. “Despite Donald Trump’s apparent inevitability, a baker’s dozen Republicans are hoping to become the party’s 2024 nominee for president,” he wrote. “That is possible for any of them if the field narrows to a two-person...

Radical far-left Senators are threatening to leave the GOP if the party continues on its path of representing the people. The Democrats no longer represent America. They push the war in Ukraine against nuclear power Russia, the invasion across the Southern border (which supports drug cartels, Chinese manufactured fentanyl and US-backed child trafficking), massive spending (causing massive inflation), the destruction of the human body, mind and soul (through trans-rights and perverted child pornography), and the ultimate destruction of this great Christian country. Now four GOP US Senators are threatening to join them. According to Conservative Treehouse: According to interviews conducted...

A prominent Republican lawmaker in Utah has raised more than $2 million since launching an exploratory committee to challenge Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), breaking the record for the most money raised by a GOP Senate candidate or potential candidate in their first three months. Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson has raised roughly $2.2 million since launching the committee in April, giving the GOP leader a hefty war chest as he considers a primary challenge to Romney next year. Nearly half of the sum was raised by in-state donors, while $1.2 million comes from Wilson’s own personal contribution, according to the...

The Delaware federal judge likely to sign off on Hunter Biden’s guilty plea next month was nominated to the bench by former President Donald Trump — but was backed by the First State’s two Democratic senators and has donated to both parties. US District Judge Maryellen Noreika was randomly assigned to preside over a hearing on the first son’s plea deal, which is set for July 26 in Wilmington federal court. SNIP Those donations include $5,200 to Sen. Tom Cotton’s (R-Ark.) 2014 Senate campaign, $5,000 to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign, $2,300 to John McCain’s presidential run in 2008, and...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Friday that Donald Trump had “brought these charges upon himself” after the former president was notified of his indictment in an investigation into his handling of classified materials. “Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so,” Romney said in a statement. The former Republican presidential candidate acknowledged that Trump is “entitled to the presumption of innocence” and that the government is faced with “the burden of proving its charges beyond a reasonable doubt.” However, he...

Utah needs a proven fighter and conservative voice in Washington. Last month, Riverton Republican Mayor Trent Staggs, who became widely known in 2020 for his strong stance against mask mandates during the COVID-19 pandemic, announced he is running for Senate to unseat incumbent RINO Sen. Mitt Romney. Stagg’s campaign emphasizes the need for a fearless representative who is unafraid to stand against the Washington establishment and fight for the interests of Utahans. Highlighting the challenges faced by the nation and the state, Stagg outlined his plan to address critical issues that he believes have been neglected by current leadership. “Right...

Mitt Romney in the state's 2024 Senate election, becoming the first candidate to pose a challenge to the Republican senator should he attempt to seek re-election.

"I love my children, and I'm worried about the country they will inherit if I sit on the sidelines," Staggs told...

MUST WATCH 🚨Fox & Friends hosts review Ron DeSantis’ recent trip to Iowa, calling it ‘unbelievably underwhelming’ and saying there was ‘little energy’.“I heard he was having a rally… It just didn’t feel like a RALLY the way a Trump rally would.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said in a written statement on Tuesday that Manhattan prosecutor Alvin Bragg is setting a “dangerous precedent” by criminalizing a political opponent. Romney, who is no fan of Trump, said in reaction to the indictment of Trump: I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office. Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda. No one is above the law, not even former presidents, but everyone is entitled to equal treatment under the law. The prosecutor’s overreach sets a...

Has Fernand Amandi been binge-watching Joe Scarborough? You have to wonder, given his attack vocabulary on Ron DeSantis on Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC Sunday Show this morning. Amandi—an MSNBC analyst and Florida-based Democrat consultant—borrowed one of Scarborough's signature moves: riding a favorite phrase into the ground. No fewer than four times, Amandi described DeSantis, with full stops between each word, as a "MAGA. Extremist. Bully."For good measure, Amandi employed another tired Scarborough trope: referring to DeSantis as a "fascist." Get the rest of the story and view the video here.
