[American Thinker] Many politicians in Washington, D.C. are more concerned with getting elected than with governing this country. Veterans see this as something that goes against their spirit. They served in the military to protect and defend, and now they want a chance to serve in Congress to fight for their fellow Americans. Their mission is to get results and not constantly be lame-duck representatives. One such candidate is Michael Waltz, who is running in Florida's District 6, the seat Ron DeSantis currently holds as he runs for governor. He interviewed with American Thinker about why he is running for office.
He told American Thinker, "I have been serving my country my entire life, twenty-two years as a Green Beret. I wake up in the morning thinking about the issues this country is facing. We can either yell at the TV or roll up our sleeves and serve in the political arena. When someone is in the foxhole, he does not care about differences in race, religion, creed, sex, or economic or political background. It is all about mission and country. There is a commonality of service on how we should move this country forward."
Waltz's résumé shows that he has multiple kinds of experience. A retired Army lieutenant colonel, he was awarded four Bronze Stars, including two for valor. A counterterrorism adviser during the George W. Bush administration, he worked in the Pentagon as a defense policy director for secretaries of defense Rumsfeld and Gates, and in the White House as Vice President Cheney's counterterrorism adviser. He is a small business-owner, CEO of Metis Solutions.

Looks like a good candidate to replace DeSantis. Waltz was an anti-Trumper in 2016. Seems like he has come around to being a Trump supporter. It's either Waltz(R) or a Democrat. Waltz looks like a good choice.

Feinstein should be censured. Better yet, tossed out of the Senate by the voters.
California has a new system in which only two candidates are on the general election ballot and these are the two top vote getters in the primaries. What this means is that, if the two top vote getters in the primaries are Democrats, Republicans are effectively disenfranchised in the general election. Republicans have no candidate for whom they can vote, we only get to choose between two Democrats. It sucks. No third parties either.
In our last Senate election, Kamala Harris (D) ran against Loretta Sanchez (D). I just left that part of my ballot blank. I couldn't bring myself to vote for either one of them.
This November I'll vote for Kevin de Leon (D) who is running against Diane Feinstein (D). I don't know much about de Leon and I suspect that he'll be just as bad as Feinstein if not worse.
But JohnQC is right. Feinstein should rightfully be tossed out of office on her wrinkled old ass. This whole Ford thing is only the latest outrage. That business with her Chinese chauffeur who turned out to be a Chicom spy is probably far worse if anybody would ever investigate. The fact that her husband has made millions in Chinese deals that had to be cleared by the communist government is suspicious at best, stinks to high heaven and should also be investigated.
DiFi must go.

[FreeRepublic] A previous leader of the Democratic party confirmed on Thursday that Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary. Rickey Cole, the previous leader of the Mississippi Democrat Party, confirmed in a Facebook comment on Thursday. “Cindy was for Hillary in 2008,” Cole wrote in a Facebook comment on Thursday night. indy Hyde-Smith urged more women to run for office when asked about Hillary Clinton becoming the first woman nominated for a major political party in 2016. “We are always supporting women,” Hyde-Smith told the Clarion-Ledger. We want to promote women. I think women...

She has been a Democrat but switched to Republican in 2010. Despite voting for Hillary, she has supported Trump and he is campaigning for Hyde-Smith. She identifies as a conservative, is an NRA member, is anti-abortion, and is a fiscal conservative. I don't get the Hillary vote in 2016 or the previous Donk tag.

No,she's been quite vocal about how poorly she's been treated by the "believe her" crowd.

"The Star Tribune's motion to intervene and unseal the records follows a similar action by Alpha News, a right-leaning online news and opinion site."
Thought there was something weird about the STrib (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DFL) going after their fair-haired boy(metaphor, obviously.)
Turns out some nasty right-wingers were going to look for evidence of a pattern of violence, so the STrib needed position themselves as "independent journalists" for damage control purposes.

The battering video must have been set up in anticipation that a beat-down was likely.
I'm not a great fan of Ellison or the Democrats. He is a Muslim convert and a supporter of Louis Farrakhan. As a voter, I like to know as much about a candidate as possible. Too often we end up buying (or voting) for a "pig in a poke" because the candidate's history and record gets buried.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
