The RINOs are at it again. For years now, the Republican establishment has attempted in bad faith to manipulate President Trump and reduce his immense popularity among conservatives in order to maintain their power while stifling Trump’s America First agenda and policies. This Fifth Column in the GOP continues to suck away at President Trump’s time, money, resources, and support, while offering Trump and the MAGA movement nothing in return. One of the worst offenders in this regard is Congresswoman Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, who is now running for the U.S. Senate. Big League Politics has previously reported on Congresswoman...

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A U.S. Senate candidate for Missouri says she has no plans to delete a transphobic tweet that violated Twitter’s rules against hateful conduct, even after the social media platform said she won’t be able to tweet, retweet, follow or like posts until she does.

Hartzler told Milley, “I understand your intent, but I think you are articulating that — that you would tell him you would give him a call, I think, is worthy of your resignation. I just think that’s against our country that you would give our No. 1 adversary that information and tell him that.”

Early jockeying has begun in the race for chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee — the largest caucus on Capitol Hill, and one that has seen its influence grow with Donald Trump in the White House. At least five House Republicans told The Hill they are weighing bids to replace the group's chairman, Rep. Mark Walker (N.C.). Known informally as the RSC, the caucus imposes a two-year term limit on its chairman, giving more members a chance to lead. So far, the possible contenders are: four-term Rep. Vicky Hartzler (Mo.); three-term Rep. Roger Williams (Texas); two-term Rep. Barry Loudermilk...

The U.S. Navy turned down the application of an atheist chaplain to serve in the Navy Chaplain Corps. The move comes after 43 members of Congress signed a letter warning that the very definition of what it means to be a chaplain is at stake. Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn (R) and Missouri Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R) explained in a joint statement on Wednesday that the Navy made the right call in turning down the appointment of Dr. Jason Heap, the national coordinator for the United Coalition of Reason based in Washington, D.C., who first made the attempt under the Obama...

Several Republican lawmakers are urging a federal district court in California to block the removal of a war memorial cross in a San Diego public park that was declared unconstitutional in 2011. "We're urging the court to permit a private organization to obtain and operate the war memorial – a remedy that would remove any constitutional questions and protect this longstanding tribute to our men and women in uniform," Sekulow said in a statement. The legal fight over the Mount Soledad cross began in 1989 when atheist Philip Paulson sued the city of San Diego.

GARDEN CITY, Mo.| Vicky Hartzler — taking advantage of central Missouri’s anger toward and distrust of government — decisively upset 34-year U.S. House veteran Ike Skelton on Tuesday. With all precincts reporting, unofficial results showed Hartzler with 113,500 votes, or just more than 50 percent.

Ike Skelton is getting crap for using foul language on the floor of the U.S. House. His Republican challenger, former state Rep. Vicky Hartzler, has debuted a new ad splicing together criticism of Skelton’s record with a March recording of him swearing at fellow Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) on the floor of the House. “Ike Skelton on what we can do if we disagree with his support for Nancy Pelosi’s extreme agenda,” the narrator says. “Stick it up your [expletive],” Skelton says in footage from C-SPAN, with the expletive bleeped out. His comments run three times in the 30-second spot....

SAINT ROBERT, Mo. (July 28, 2010) — As one of the two leading Republican candidates seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Ike Skelton, who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, State Sen. Bill Stouffer said he rather than former State Rep. Vicki Hartzler or any of the other candidates is best qualified to replace a conservative Democrat with a conservative Republican in Congress. Speaking Wednesday morning at the Sunshine Café in St. Robert, Stouffer said anyone who wants to unseat Skelton after more than three decades needs to be able to understand farmers and rural Democrats. “I think I am the...
