in a day otherwise filled with bad political news here’s some good news for a change.
First from the indispensable Ron DeSantis
In the Executive Order suspending Warren from office, DeSantis ordered, “As of the signing of this Executive Order, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by other law enforcement agencies as necessary, is requested to: (i) assist in the immediate transition of Andrew Warren from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida, with access only to retrieve his personal belongings; and (ii) ensure that no files, papers, documents, notes, records, computers, or removable storage media are removed from the Office of the State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit of Florida by Andrew Warren or any of his staff.”
Second, the corrupt state of Arizona proves the old maxim that if the margin is large enough it is harder to steal the election
Jaime Herrera Beutler is ousted from Congress for her Jan. 6 impeachment vote. Her would-be replacement embraces Trump’s election lies
——-
One of the three of ten remaining Trump impeachment voting republican representatives is in trouble
Edit. 8/9/22
Kent pulls ahead. As of Monday night, Kent had 22.8% of the vote and Herrera Beutler has 22.3%, a gap of 960 votes.
BTW Jaime is a man’s name. If she were a democrat I would say she is part of their tranny squad but she’s too good looking to be a democrat. Maybe her parents have a sense of humor.
Kent surges to within 257 votes of Herrera Beutler

The difference between the parties could not be clearer. Let’s hope the election is not stolen
Edit. I just looked it up and it’s interesting that Liz Cheney voted against the bill
She is a typical Republican in the mold of the Bushes, her father, McCain, Romney, and so forth. They are Conservatives who are unwilling to back measures needed today actually to advance Conservative ideals. Only Trump, so far, has been willing to do that. The others have their holy pinkies in the air and will not stoop down to fight it out in the mud with the current crop of woke liberal filth which forms the heart of the Democrat party.
As much as everyone loves to hate people like her, she does have her feet planted firmly on the Republican side of the isle - she just often leans way over the line without actually taking a step.
You cannot square that with the thesis below contained:
First, it’s pretty clear Liz is going to lose in two days. I’m only mentioning that in a rather hopeless (but valiant) effort to keep this post on topic.
Now for the meat:
The high likelihood of her impending loss on Tuesday does not matter to Liz. This is because winning another term as Wyoming’s Representative is not her primary goal. But mark my words, Liz is achieving/has already achieved her real purpose. Consider:
Liz’s status as vice-chair of the January sixth committee has garnered her nationwide attention. Her profile is WAY up. People, voters all across the USA, know who she is and what her objectives are.
Liz’s top ambition all along has been to ensure Donald J. Trump never again becomes POTUS. She now has accumulated the power to bring that goal to reality. If Trump runs in 2024, Liz will make a third party POTUS bid from her high political perch. She will lose, of course. But she will garner sufficient votes to ensure a Democrat POTUS victory in 2024, whether for Biden or for a different Democrat POTUS candidate. Liz does not care, so long as Trump loses, an outcome upon which she is inalterably fixated.
Liz’s scheme is far more Machiavellian than it is Quixotic. I would not be surprised if her father had a hand in cooking it up. And it is a catastrophe for our country.
Possible shenanigans in today’s primaries:
The Alaska primary was designed by Murk to give her a chance. The ridiculous rank choice system is tailor made for her. Apparently it was passed by a voter initiative but there must have been a lot of skulduggery.
Unlike in the special House election, Tuesday’s Senate primary will not involve ranked-choice voting. Tuesday will showcase an all-party primary in which the top four voter-getters will advance to the general election; then, in November, the winner will be declared according to ranked-choice voting. Murkowski is not expected to lead in Tuesday’s primary, because the environment will likely favor more partisan candidates such as Tshibaka. However, experts say that once it’s time for the general election, Murkowski will gain more support from Democratic and independent voters, giving her an advantage over Tshibaka.
in Wyoming, Cheney has been trying to get Democrats to vote in the Republican primary. she’s losing by such a wide margin that it may not make any difference.

it is really a scheme to disconnect elections from issues and allow candidates with marginal support from voters to win elections. In the end, it is all about political power, not about what is best for the American people and for preserving our great republic. So-called reformers want to change process rules so they can manipulate election outcomes to obtain power.
The “ridiculous” part is intuitively obvious even to a casual observer. If you cannot see it, I cannot help!
Finally, notice that at Heritage they are interested in preserving our American REPUBLIC, as am I. It is Democrats who scream constantly about preserving “democracy”. They detest our Republic and want permanently to alter it.

Do you not see any value in moving election results away from the extremes by making moderate candidates, from both parties, more viable options? (or potentially even making 3rd party candidates viable in some instances)
Then again, you think the Heritage Foundation actually has your interests at heart…
