Katie Hobbs Has No Interest In The Responsibilities Of A Governor

Published

on

Arizona Secretary of State and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs has no interest in being governor. She might want the title, the prestige, and the benefits, but she has no enthusiasm for doing the job, and she said so explicitly.

On Tuesday, the investigative group Project Veritas published its latest exposé, which revealed why Hobbs has refused a debate with her Republican opponent, former local news anchor Kari Lake.

“I don’t want to talk politics with anyone who I don’t know,” Hobbs said on footage captured on hidden camera.

Refusal to engage with your political opponents as an elected official with power is bad enough, but what’s worse is that Hobbs made the comment while describing a conversation she had with an Uber driver who inquired about her work.

“I was like, ‘uh, I work for a campaign,’” Hobbs said. “I don’t know why I said that — I just didn’t want to have this conversation. And he’s like, ‘Oh, Kari Lake?’ And I was like, ‘F-ck no!’ I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to talk politics to anyone who I don’t know.”

It makes sense why someone might not want to engage with strangers about politics, but not when you’re already a statewide elected official now seeking the top job in all of Arizona. It especially doesn’t apply to engaging your opponent about your political differences on a debate stage.

In her refusal to debate Lake, Hobbs is denying Arizona voters the democratic opportunity to see their two gubernatorial candidates side-by-side in an open forum because she “doesn’t want to talk politics to anyone who I don’t know.” Apparently, no one told Hobbs that it’s part of being governor. But the comment reveals something more disturbing about the Democrat’s own candidacy: Hobbs has no curiosity why her constituents might like her Republican challenger.

A genuine public servant might have probed a bit deeper into the Uber driver’s own values and priorities rather than shut down the conversation. Hobbs, however, took the elitist route with an “I don’t want

Oklahoma Removes 450,000 Ineligible Voters From Rolls, Including Over 5,000 Felons

Published

on

Oklahoma election officials have removed more than 450,000 ineligible voters from the state’s rolls ahead of November’s election.

“Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted,” said Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in a press release

State election officials have removed 453,000 total ineligible voters since 2021, Stitt’s office announced Wednesday. 

As part of “routine voter list maintenance,” the state has removed 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, 97,065 dead voters, and 143,682 voters who moved out of state, according to the release. During address verification, officials also canceled 194,962 inactive voters.

We all need an ID to fly, buy alcohol, cash a check, etc.

There’s no reason a state shouldn’t have strict voter ID laws. It’s just common sense.

In Oklahoma, our laws require proof of identity for every voter, regardless of whether you’re voting early, absentee, or in-person.

— Governor Kevin Stitt (@GovStitt) September 18, 2024

Stitt’s office has been working with legislators, the state election board, and the secretary of state on voter list maintenance. Officials are using technology like artificial intelligence to “protect our elections,” said Secretary of State Josh Cockroft in the release.

“We’ve aggressively pursued policies to ensure voting is secure and accurate,” Cockroft said. “Every eligible citizen will have their vote counted and their voice heard.”

Oklahoma allows “only eligible voters” to take part in elections, according to the release. The state’s June primaries had a “100% voter verification match,” KOSU

SCOTUS Threats Suggest Democrats’ Attacks On The Court Encourage Politically Motivated Terrorism

Published

on

A 76-year-old Alaskan man is in custody after he allegedly threatened to assault, kidnap, lynch, torture, murder, and assassinate six of the nine Supreme Court justices. The names of the justices targeted, however, were withheld by the Department of Justice — likely because they confirm Democrats’ incendiary rhetoric against the conservative members of the court is working.

The DOJ announced on Thursday that Panos Anastasiou faces nine counts of making threats against a federal judge and 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce after he sent more than 465 messages pledging harm against justices via “a public website the court maintained.”

Attorney General Merrick Garland acknowledged in the Thursday press release that the communications were rooted in Anastasiou’s desire to “retaliate against them for decisions he disagreed with.” Yet, neither he nor the Department of Justice memo announcing the arrest identified exactly which of the nine SCOTUS members and their family members were terrorized.

In fact, the DOJ went out of its way in its 11-page September 18 indictment of Anastasiou to disguise which high bench presiders were in danger for upholding their constitutional duties by reducing the justices to numbers “1-6.” Six of the nine sitting SCOTUS justices were nominated to the high bench by Republican presidents.

The document accusing the Alaskan of several felonies, however, shows Anastasiou’s threats were well timed not only with a Democrat-manufactured ethics scandal, but also decisions secured specifically by the court’s conservative majority.

In May, as corporate media ramped up Democrat-manufactured

NFL Get-Out-The-Vote Initiative Partners With Democrat Activist Groups

Published

on

Are you ready for some football?! How about some leftist-led get-out-the-vote (GOTV) games? 

Well, you get both with the NFL Votes campaign. 

The all-powerful National Football League says the “League-wide, nonpartisan initiative supports and encourages civic engagement among NFL players, and legends, club and league personnel, and fans.” Launched in 2020 as a joint effort between the NFL and NFL Players Association, NFL Votes “focuses on three key components of the electoral process: voter education, voter registration, and voter activation,” according to the league’s website.

Sounds noble enough.

But if you’re scoring along at home, the NFL’s teammates include some of the most left-wing activist organizations on the election field today. Starting on the campaign’s roster is Rock the Vote, Voto Latino, and I am a voter

Rock the Leftists

Rock the Vote has been around since 1990, when music executives partnered with MTV and celebrities on the “Censorship is Un-American” campaign after foul-mouthed rap acts such as N.W.A and 2 Live Crew brought out an indignant wave of speech silencers.

It was a simpler time, when MTV actually played music videos. 

Thrilled by its accomplishment of activating “millions of young people” to turn out to the polls, the leftist nonprofit has parlayed its GOTV successes into a multitude of leftist causes over its 30-plus years in operation — even as targeting the young adult vote remained central to its efforts.

“The group claims to be nonpartisan, but has produced videos throughout the years using celebrities who largely endorse a
