2026 Election

The Case for Mike Rogers for U.S. Senate in 2026

by  •  • 0 Comments

Former U.S. Congressman Mike Rogers is running for U.S. Senate for the second consecutive election cycle and is angling hard for another Trump endorsement to clear the field. Rogers has hired Chris LaCivita, a political consultant who was the co-chair of the Trump campaign last year, as his senior adviser.

LaCivita became widely known after reports indicated that his front groups took $22 million from the Trump campaign throughout 2024, allegations that he is currently disputing in the courts. LaCivita also went on the war path during the campaign against the conservatives responsible for the ‘Project 2025’ think-tank that was widely demonized by Democrats.

Following Trump’s election, LaCivita has resumed his consulting work. One of the projects he is working on is booting Rep. Thomas Massie, the Congressman with the strongest pro-liberty constitutional conservative voting record, from office because he refused to vote in favor of a crippling debt hike.

Rogers has brought LaCivita on board to reinvent himself as a MAGA Republican despite Rogers’ history of supporting unconstitutional NSA Spying and the Patriot Act, being a ‘Never Trumper’ until the moment he started running for U.S. Senate in 2024, becoming a swamp lobbyist after cashing in on his Congressional connections, helping cover up Benghazi scandal to protect defense contractors, and supporting the Jan. 6 probe and inferring pro-Trump patriots were “criminals.”

Some Questions

by  •  • 3 Comments

Gee ..why did Democrats wait until AFTER the election to put this crap out there??

Got one of Adam’s heads up messages via the in-box a few minutes ago.

He notes the Lame Duck Democrats are trying to get something ..anything passed during the most dangerous time in a legislative session. He says:

But the only way the Democrats can pass all of these extreme bills is with 100% unanimous Democrat votes . . . or Republicans crossing over to vote with them.

Even if you’ve already done so, contact your lawmakers immediately and tell them to vote NO on ALL Lame-Duck legislation.

Democrats know how unpopular their extremist bills are. That’s why they didn’t take the votes before the election – and in many cases noted above, didn’t even introduce the bills until after the election.

But it’s critical you and I keep up the pressure.

These are the questions I have.

Making Education Great Again.

A roadmap to fixing our FAILING Public education system

Imagine if the resources spent on the Federal Department of Education was instead sent to the states?

Michigan has more School districts than counties, has had to (as a state) take over whole systems that cannot manage the resources given them by taxpayers, and is delivering CRAP insofar as outcomes.

Let me state this comparison as clearly as I can .. If you had a roofer fix your leaky roof, and the first time you had a light sprinkle you find yourself putting buckets around the house, what would you do?  You might have them try to repair, but most folks are going to get someone new.

Let me remind you that our kids can’t read.  Not like they should anyhow.   I drafted the below roadmap last night.  It is a response to my own personal assessment of what doesn’t currently work in our public education system.  It was inspired to this point as I spoke with a couple of retired legislators who may or may not agree with the entire premise.

Save The Electors Telethon Sept 5, 2023

by  •  • 1 Comment

The “Save the Electors” Telethon will be taking place on Tuesday, Sept. 5 from 10am to 9pm. The telethon will be livestreamed by The Gateway Pundit!

This is a historic event that will change public perceptions and give the electors the resources they need to fight back against the malicious, politically-motivated prosecutions of leftist AG Dana Nessel (learn more here).

Telethon guests include former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Mike Lindell of Frank Speech, Shawn Farash (famous for his spot on Trump impersonation), DC Draino, former Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake, Justice Gableman, Catherine Engelbrecht & Gregg Phillips (of “2000 Mules” fame) Jim Hoft, Brandan Straka, Sam Sorbo, nationally known comedian Joe Dan Gorman, MI Representatives Schriver, Smit, Carra and DeSana and MI State Senators Lindsey and Runestad. More guests are joining daily.

“We plan to tell the stories of how Electors have been personally affected by this madness,” said Matt Seely of the Michigan Conservative Coalition, who is hosting the telethon.

“Our amazing line up for the Telethon will encourage citizens to make a donation to the Legal Defense Fund for the Electors online here. On the day of the Telethon live operators will also be standing by to take donations,” he added.

Share the promotional graphic and spread the word. It is time to unite behind this righteous cause. The electors stood up when it counted, now we must have their backs!

And just who do we have to thank for this?

I STILL fear for the Republic.

That been said, I am disappointed, but I am certainly not in the least bit surprised with what transpired last November.

After last year’s raging dumpster fire of an election, there really wasn’t much to say about its outcome.

With what had transpired over the previous two years, the 2022 election should have been simply a formality, and we could’ve been focused on getting Michigan back on track, had the drive been there to accomplish that task.

Regrettably, certain people in our state were more concerned with “their candidate” winning than promoting (or even defending for that matter a political philosophy).

Their ego…conceit…hubris…call it what you’d like, blinded them to the actual threat.

Now, people are beginning to take notice of the consequences from their actions, or more accurately, LACK thereof.

And only now is it beginning to frighten them.

{Continued after the fold.}

And When It’s Over

Leadership matters.

God willing, the gerrymandering nonsense by team Benson (non partisan my ass) will have failed in the 2020 elections.

Anyone voting for Democrats is literally by definition ..insane. Don’t think so? Try this – Insanity:

  • Severe mental illness or derangement.
  • Unsoundness of mind sufficient to render a person unfit to maintain a contractual or other legal relationship or sufficient to warrant commitment to a mental health facility.
  • Incapacity to form the criminal intent necessary for legal responsibility, as when a mental disorder prevents a person from knowing the difference between right and wrong.

Having said that.. Anyone voting for Republicans need to keep an eye on them as well. When our enemies in power hurt us, we expect it, but when our friends fail to defend us when given the opportunity and mandate, it hurts even more.

In the end, the gatekeepers of craziness can mean very much to us. To that end, what the Executive Director of Great Lakes Gun Rights Brenden Boudreau says is very true. (follow below)
