MACKINAC ISLAND, MI -- Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel kicked off the Mackinac Republican Leadership Conference on Friday with a remark that seemed tailored to the Republican faithful in attendance. “You know I do still live in Michigan, just so you know. I’m still a Michigander. I’m still suffering, like all of you, under Gretchen Whitmer, ok?” she said. The line was greeted by applause by attendees of the semi-annual gathering at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island.

MSNBC political commentator and author George Will said Wednesday on “The Beat” that the Republican base needed to be quarantined because they were “addicted to furiousness.” Melber said, “What has happened to this moderate Republican Party?”Will said, “Well, it’s one thing to be for limited government. It’s one thing to be as the founders were, for a government of limited delegated and enumerated powers. This, however, is beyond politics. This is clinical psychology we have to consult.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Sunday on “MediaBuzz” that he is “very grateful” to be living “rent-free” in the head of former President Donald Trump when asked about Trump’s criticisms of his debate moderation skills. Referencing the first 2020 presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, which was hosted by Wallace on September 29, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio, anchor Howard Kurtz said, “By the way, Trump still takes shots at you over the first presidential debate that you moderated last year, saying, oh you didn’t have control

Few presidents have taken more public pleasure in seeing one of their party’s own leave office than Donald Trump in his reaction to Rep. Anthony Gonzalez’s announcement that he would not seek reelection. “1 down, 9 to go!” the former president gloated, in the second of two statements he released Friday celebrating Gonzalez’s exit. The Ohio Republican’s departure was, of course, a victory for Trump — the first victim in his post-election crusade against the 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach him. Shannon Burns, the president of Ohio’s Strongsville GOP, said Gonzalez “was an up-and-coming star, who made,...

You ignorant Americans! How "delusional" can you be to think there was anything wrong about the Chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff promising America's greatest adversary to tip them off to any impending attack! As "delusional" as that might seem to patriotic Americans, that was exactly Nicolle Wallace's opinion on her MSNBC show Friday. Discussing Joint Chief Chairman Mark Milley's phone call with his ChiCom counterpart in which he promised to give advance warning of a US attack ordered by President Trump, Wallace whined: "Over in delusional America, where disinformation rules the day, there are calls for his firing...

Former President Donald Trump hammered Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) on Tuesday, calling him a “terrible representative for both Pennsylvania and the United States” while doubling down on his support for Republican Sean Parnell in the race to replace Toomey next year. Toomey is one of seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial earlier this year for inciting a mob to attack the Capitol. Trump has repeatedly gone after Republicans who broke with him on impeachment, and earlier on Tuesday endorsed a primary opponent of Rep. Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican who voted to impeach...

Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have joined a group of Senate Democrats in asking President Joe Biden to rapidly expand refugee resettlement from Afghanistan to the United States. In a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Cassidy, Murkowski, and Senate Democrats asked the Biden administration to open a new “humanitarian parole” program for potentially hundreds of thousands of Afghans who otherwise would not be eligible for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs).

Bush, made her comments on her show “Deadline.” Wallace said Trump was “sympathizing, once again, with the ‘insurrectionists’ about the death of Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt and potentially threatening Capitol police officers.”

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Tuesday on her show “Deadline” that the Republican Party was becoming “pup tent” size by bowing to “petty, petulant brat” former President Donald Trump. Wallace said, “President Joe Biden has soared to a 63% approval rating, proving that shots in arms, COVID relief, and not being an insane egomaniac isn’t just good for the country, but it polls well, too.”

Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is slated to host a virtual fundraiser for House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) amid backlash she received for speaking out against former President Trump. To co-host, donors have been asked to pay $5,800, and $2,900 to attend the event, according to an invitation first obtained by Politico.

Former President Donald Trump told Fox News to dump Republican strategist Karl Rove in a statement from his political action committee Thursday. Rove wrote in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday when he noted a so-called "muted enthusiasm" for Trump following a straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference showed 68% said the former president should run again in 2024. "Never had much of a feeling for Karl, in that I disagreed with so many of the things he says. He's a pompous fool with bad advice and always has an agenda," Trump wrote in a statement from his...

Rove. who served as George W. Bush's chief strategist, wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, criticizing Trump's CPAC performance on Sunday and calling on him not to run in 2024.

Donald is so over Nikki. Ex-President Trump reportedly turned down onetime favorite Nikki Haley’s request for a meeting Wednesday, a couple of weeks after she criticized him over his role in the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. Haley, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during the Trump administration, said she believes Trump, who was impeached following the Jan. 6 insurrection, “won’t be in the picture” for the 2024 race in an interview with Politico last week. The snub came as Haley apparently sought to mend fences with her ex-boss over the anti-Trump statement, which fell flat...

A consultant for the Republican establishment, who wrongly predicted that former President Trump would not be the GOP presidential nominee in 2015, is now calling former United Nations (UN) Ambassador Nikki Haley the “front-runner” for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. GOP consultant Alex Castellanos — whose clients have included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, former President George W. Bush, and Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) during his failed 2008 presidential bid — claims Haley is leading the GOP slate of potential candidates for 2024. “I think Nikki Haley is the front-runner and it’s going to be very hard to stop her,”...

Republican senators Mitt Romney and Tom Cotton will introduce legislation aimed at raising the minimum wage while addressing concerns about illegal immigrants taking American jobs. In tweets posted Tuesday by both Romney (R-Ut.) and Cotton (R-Ark.), the senators revealed their plans to put forward a bill “that would increase the minimum wage while ensuring businesses cannot hire illegal immigrants. We must protect American workers.” “Congress hasn’t raised the minimum wage in more than a decade, leaving many Americans behind,” Romney tweeted. “Our proposal gradually raises the minimum wage without costing jobs, setting it to increase automatically with inflation, and requires...

They used to pay me to fight with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on live TV. Now she’s fighting to keep the Republican Party alive. I’m no Republican. But this time I’ve got her back. You see, every American has a stake in preventing a major political party from being derailed by former President Trump’s supporters who prefer lies and conspiracy theories over reality. Everyone saw a dying party sliding off the rails last week when Republican senators ignored all facts to vote against convicting Trump on charges of inciting the riot at the Capitol. Democrats need the balance that comes...

NOTE DATE PUBLISHED: August 29, 2012 -- Take a typical Bain transaction involving an Indiana-based company called American Pad and Paper. Bain bought Ampad in 1992 for just $5 million, financing the rest of the deal with borrowed cash. Within three years, Ampad was paying $60 million in annual debt payments, plus an additional $7 million in management fees. A year later, Bain led Ampad to go public, cashed out about $50 million in stock for itself and its investors, charged the firm $2 million for arranging the IPO and pocketed another $5 million in “management” fees. Ampad wound up...
