MAGA GOP WITNESS....JASON GALANIS 15 YEAR PRISON SENTENCE
DEFRAUDED NATIVE AMERICANS OF $8.5 MILLION
Republicans in Congress believe they have found a new star witness in their ongoing investigations into President Biden and his son, Hunter. The only issue is that this new witness is currently serving out a 15-year prison sentence after being convicted of fraud. This is the best that the Republicans can come up with, and it isn't even the first time that they've turned to convicts to trash the Biden family. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening. Link - https://www.rawstory.com/biden-impeac...
Donald Trump dementia petition signed by almost 100 medics after spotting 7 symptoms A petition signed by dozens of licensed mental health and medical professionals alleges that former President Donald Trump has dementia as several gaffes from recent speeches go viral online Does former President Donald Trump have dementia That's the question pounding many voters' heads after a spate of gaffes emerged during his speeches on Super Tuesday this week A lot of medical professionals seem to think he does indeed have cognitive decline. A petition is circulating for licensed medical and mental health professionals that would formally diagnose the Republican, who is now the only GOP candidate for the presidency, with dementia A diagnosis could prove detrimental to his run many already consider the 77-year-old, who would be 82 by the time he left office in 2029, too old to be running for office. But whether or not it will drop him below his opponent, Democrat and current President Joe Biden, remains to be seen Dr. John Gartner created a Change.org petition called We diagnose Trump with probable dementia A petition for licensed professionals only It's designed for licensed professionals to weigh in on whether they believe Trump has dementia The petition says it's designed to "diagnose Donald Trump with moderate to advanced dementia, based on his public behavior and informant reports that show progressive deterioration in multiple higher cortical functions including: memory, thinking, ability to use language, orientation, learning capacity, judgment and both gross and fine motor skills Gartner and the others behind the petition stated they feel an ethical obligation to warn the public and urge the media to cover this national emergency As of Wednesday, 91 professionals had signed the petition, which has been shared by Duty To Warn, an association that states it exists to serve as a warning NOW about TrumpISM Join the Mirror's SMS news service to get the biggest breaking stories delivered straight to your phone Click here to subscribe Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump reacts to supporters as he arrives on stage at a Get Out the Vote Rally March 2, 2024 The group wrote last week "IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT If you are a licensed medical or mental health professional, please sign this petition diagnosing Trump with dementia Circulate as widely as possible A few of the gaffes made by Trump in recent days that both groups have highlighted include him mispronouncing Venezuela in a horrific manner during a rally speech, stating that the U.S. had been fighting ISIS for 20 years before he came to power it had been only a few years, at most, that ISIS had even existed at the time) and lots of other mispronunciations and factual inaccuracies some of which he does on purpose to rile his supporters But while Trump is old and has made a lot of gaffes, so too is Biden, who is currently 81 and would be 86 by the time he left office And Biden has also made his fair share of gaffes, including referencing the president of Mexico when he was giving a speech about aid in Egypt Both men have been participating in numerous rallies as they campaign for the presidency ahead of the November elections, keeping incredibly busy schedules as they hope to win voters and garner a second term in the Oval Office They are both slated to win their party's nominations in July and August, respectively, at the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois

OKLAHOMA "R" VOTERS ARE SO STUPID THEY CONDEMNED
SENATOR JAMES LANKFORD FOR NEGOTIATING A BIPARTISAN
BORDER BILL!
Republican Senator Katie Britt, who gave the rebuttal to President Biden’s State of the Union address, was instantly caught in a disturbing lie by independent journalist Jonathan Katz. Gabe Sanchez reports on a new episode of 'What Was That?'
Earlier this year, U.S. Sen. James Lankford faced backlash from his own political party as he led negotiations on a bipartisan immigration package — a point President Joe Biden rehashed in his Thursday State of the Union address.
On Thursday, Biden boasted his administration's work with senators to create a bipartisan immigration bill, which he described as having "the toughest set of border security reforms" the U.S. has ever seen.
The reference to the bill prompted boos from the politicians in the crowd.
"You don't think so? You don't like that bill, huh?" Biden said amid the boos. "That conservatives got together and said it was a good bill? I'll be darned. That's amazing."
The bill would've hired 1,500 more security agents and officers and 100 more immigration judges to help tackle the backload of 2 million cases, Biden said, along with 4,300 more asylum officers and new policy so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years.
After Biden explained what the bill would've done, politicians in the audience cheered with a standing ovation.
Lankford nodded after Biden's explanation and mouthed, "It's true."
While Lankford and other senators negotiated the bipartisan bill, Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, acknowledged privately to other Republican senators recently that former U.S. President Donald Trump's opposition to the bipartisan deal being brokered puts the party in a dilemma.
The demise of a bipartisan border deal denied Biden the chance to claim a victory in addressing surging migration at the southern border — a topic that Republicans have hammered Biden over throughout his presidency. It would also let Trump continue his political attacks on border policies and immigration.
Amid negotiations, some members of the Oklahoma Republican Party met to censure Lankford over his work with Democrats to pass bipartisan legislation. The chair of the state party, Nathan Dahm, later blasted the meeting as illegal and said the censure was not an official position of the Oklahoma GOP.
After the U.S. Senate voted to kill the bill in February, Lankford said he was disappointed, according to The Associated Press, adding that the border issue isn't solved.
In a video posted on social media, Lankford called Biden's State of the Union address a "campaign speech." Lankford referenced Biden's multiple hits on Trump, whom he only referred to as his "predecessor."
U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin called Biden's speech "hyper-partisan" on social media, saying it was out of touch with Americans.
On X, Ryan Walters, state schools superintendent, summed up his thoughts through a GIF, which read, "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it."

"R" VOTERS ARE CONSPICUOUSLY UNINFORMED, REFUSE TO
RESEARCH THEIR SOURCES OF DISINFORMATION & ARE
GULLIBLE....THEY BELIEVE THE LIES & MANIPULATION!
MERCERS LOVE THEM!
The billionaire Republican megadonors have funded numerous organizations now peddling baseless claims about the election.
THE STORMING OF the U.S. Capitol on January 6 has brought to the fore a host of activists on the extreme right whose violent rhetoric helped to create the conditions for an assault that left five dead. One of the most prominent of those activists is Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward.
On December 19, Ward fired off a tweet urging President Donald Trump to “cross the Rubicon,” referring to the historical event that led to Julius Caesar declaring a dictatorship in ancient Rome. The tweet was shared by former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn. On January 4, Ward’s Arizona Republican Party retweeted Ali Alexander, one of the organizers of the event that culminated in the Capitol siege, who said that he was “willing to give my life for this fight”; the Arizona GOP said, “He is. Are you?” Later that day, the Arizona GOP tweeted, “This is what we do, who we are. Live for nothing, or die for something.”
At a rally that also occurred on December 19, Alexander praised Ward, saying “I want to thank Chairwoman Kelli Ward and the Arizona Republican Party. I work in seven states, and there is no party like the Arizona GOP Party, so let’s thank Kelli Ward.” Alexander added that Ward’s Arizona GOP was “like no other.” Ward spoke at the rally.
Ward’s role could bring attention to her biggest financiers in politics: hedge fund manager Robert Mercer and his daughter, Rebekah Mercer. The Mercers were the largest donors to Ward’s super PAC in both the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, giving $1.5 million in total as well as over $33,000 in direct contributions to her campaigns.
The Mercers have funded numerous other organizations now peddling baseless claims about the election.
Rebekah Mercer is a principal investor in the Parler social media network and has an equity stake in Breitbart News, which has propagated false information about the election being stolen, and she is a close associate of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and current Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway as well as Flynn. Robert Mercer was a major investor in Cambridge Analytica, which mined data on behalf of the Trump campaign and shared office space with Mercer-funded conservative advocacy group Reclaim New York.
On Monday, CNBC reported that the Black Conservatives Fund, a super PAC that Robert Mercer gave $150,000 to in 2014, promoted the march on Capitol Hill. Alexander, one of the siege organizers, was a former “senior adviser” to the Black Conservatives Fund.
In 2017, the Mercers gave $200,000 to the Gatestone Institute, which has advanced theories about a stolen election. The following year, they gave $8.1 million to DonorsTrust, which recently donated $1.5 million to white nationalist hate group VDARE, which has also advanced evidence-free theories surrounding the 2020 election results. In 2017, the Mercer Family Foundation donated $1.725 million to the Government Accountability Institute, whose research director, Eric Eggers, appeared on Sean Hannity’s radio show at the end of November, suggesting that fraudulent activity had tilted the election to Joe Biden. In 2018, they followed up with an additional $500,000. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., who has also used violent rhetoric around the election, has received $21,600 in campaign contributions from the Mercer family.
In 2016, the Mercers spent over $22 million on efforts to support Trump and other Republicans like Ted Cruz, who helped lead a dozen senators to baselessly challenge the election results. While they spent much less publicly this election cycle, they still pumped over $1.8 million into efforts to elect Republicans. Robert Mercer donated over $300,000 to the Republican National Committee and an additional $1.5 million to the Congressional Leadership Fund, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s super PAC. McCarthy, R-Calif., was the highest-ranking member of Congress who sought to challenge the election results on January 6.
GIVEN THE DELAY of nonprofits in releasing tax statements and the ease of hiding dark-money donations, it will be several years before the public will have a complete sense of how much the Mercers spent to influence the election.
For example, the Mercers have a close relationship with right-wing Catholic activist Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society. Leo, the society’s top lobbyist and co-chair, in turn is closely associated with dark-money group the Judicial Crisis Network and its affiliate the Concord Fund, which pumped $3.7 million into the Republican Attorneys General Association in 2020. Neither group discloses its donors.
NBC recently revealed that the Rule of Law Defense Fund, an arm of the RAGA, had sent out robocalls announcing that “at 1 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal.”
The elected leadership of the RAGA has denied culpability for the robocalls. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who heads the RLDF, said in a statement this week that he was “unaware of unauthorized decisions made by RLDF staff with regard to this week’s rally. Despite currently transitioning into my role as the newly elected chair of RLDF, it is unacceptable that I was neither consulted about nor informed of those decisions.”
While the RLDF sought to blame it on employees, the group’s dissemination of information about the rally points to tacit support from high-profile conservatives and donors.
“You can’t have the mass radicalization that we’ve seen without extraordinarily wealthy people funneling money in.”
The RLDF’s executive director, Peter Bisbee, was a longtime official of the Federalist Society, which has received over $6.5 million since 2013 from the Mercer Family Foundation — roughly a quarter of its annual budget. Marshall and Leo were listed as “leaders” in the Lawyers for Trump group when it was launched in July, along with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who have both peddled baseless claims about the 2020 election.
The Judicial Crisis Network is the largest donor to the RAGA, giving over $11 million in the last two cycles. The RLDF has received significant support from the Judicial Crisis Network as well.
“You can’t have the mass radicalization that we’ve seen without extraordinarily wealthy people funneling money in,” said Michael Edison Hayden, a spokesperson for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Finally, the Mercers have donated $3.8 million to Citizens United, which is headed by David Bossie, Trump’s 2016 deputy campaign manager, who Trump tapped on November 6 to lead his efforts to challenge the election results in the states.
Leo, Rebekah Mercer, Ward, and the Arizona Republican Party did not respond to requests for comment.
“The Mercers have been more than willing to finance efforts to blow up the political system altogether. That seems to be part of what they’ve done,” said Brendan Fischer, the director of federal reform at the Campaign Legal Center.
