AZ US Rep. Paul Gosar’s siblings from hell

Congressman’s dysfunctional siblings campaign for liberal challenger

When it comes to having strong conservative values, there are few who meet the test as does Arizona’s 4^th Congressional District U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar. The dentist who went to Washington in 2011 is well respected, not only among the Republicans in his district, but those throughout the state. Scroll down to the bottom of his bio link above to see the many high ratings he has earned.

Deplorably Paul Gosar has been set upon by 6 of his 10 siblings who are urging support of his Democrat challenger. They give new meaning to the “own kin” portion of these words of Jesus cited in Mark 6:4: “A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.”

Among the 10 kids in his family there are 7 Democrats (six of whom appear in the ad shilling for his Democrat opponent), 2 Republicans and 1 Independent.

As adults, we know actual families are not what many of us saw portrayed in idyllic family sitcoms of the past. None of our mother cooked dinner wearing heels and pearl necklaces nor did we have dads who never appeared to have a real job outside of dispensing one-liner advice or sitting in the living room reading the newspaper until the family gathered around the dinner table when summoned by the perfectly coiffed and soft-spoken mom wearing a spotless ruffled apron over a lovely frock.

Still, it’s creepy that the out-of-state siblings of Congressman Gosar are so envious of his many successes that they have cut a campaign ad against him, dishonestly accusing him of “racism” for acknowledging there is an illegal immigration crisis in the United States that requires securing our border and enforcement of our laws.

In a spot ludicrously titled, “A family defends its honor,” Gosar’s left-wing siblings shamefully endorse their brother’s Democrat challenger.

SRAZ would usually provide a link to the commercial, but this cringe-worthy one showing a pathetically dysfunctional family offers nothing more than a guarantee of a skin crawling experience.

For those Arizonans fortunate enough to have Paul Gosar represent them, (map of the extensive district), we urge you to vote to retain this good and effective man.

Video exposes reality of anti-Trump deep state

Boldly stating, “it’s impossible to fire federal employees,“ Stuart Karaffa, a State Department management and systems analyst, gloats about being part of “the resistance,” and using his position to facilitate his efforts. Previously he worked within the Department of Defense.

Longtime readers of SRAZ are familiar with James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas undercover investigative videos. He has exposed everything from election fraud to abortionists with M.D.s following their names negotiating the highest price for body parts of human babies they have killed. One, casually sipping wine over lunch, laughingly declares, she “wants a Lamborghini.”

This latest release focuses on the hidden face of the resistance inside the executive branch of our government. Wearing a suit and tie is where the pretense of respectability stops. Karaffa, a career “civil servant,” and others like him, are hard at work subverting our democracy. He is taped admitting he’s there to work not for American taxpaying citizens but the Democratic Socialists of America. This past year he was listed as the primary contact for the DSA’s Get-Out-The-Vote effort in Virginia, a violation of the Hatch Act, This radical goon’s swaggering braggadocio should be enough to show him that federal employees can, indeed — at the very least — be fired. 

Read the Project Veritas report, “Deep State Unmasked: State Department on Hidden Cam, “Resist Everything,” “I Have Nothing to Lose.” The arrow in the lower left corner of the screen activates the video.

Flake “uncomfortable” voting for Kavanaugh

Jeff Flake is nearly out the senate door. Bottom-dragging 18% approval ratings convinced him not to risk the embarrassment of an unceremonious ouster. Still the showboater cannot bear to let the spotlight dim on him a moment too soon.  He preens and struts as he takes all too personally the words of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas:

“Do not go gentle into that good night…Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Flake’s latest gambit is contorting himself into a deciding vote in the confirmation of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, who has been vetted six times for key positions in the White House and on the federal bench. He is highly regarded as a man of unquestionable integrity and a brilliant jurist — serving since 2006 as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit

Tennessee Republicrat Bob Corker, also retiring from the senate, is playing the same contemptible game as Flake. With the slim GOP majority, their votes are needed to confirm.  In a similar manner to Trump-hating Flake, Corker demeaned Trump supporters as “cultish.” 

The bottom line is these two vengeful men have no constituencies to answer to and would like to go “into that good night, raging” — against Pres. Trump.  If a reputable man — Judge Kavanaugh — suddenly accused of an assault as a 17-year old, nearly 4 decades ago, is collateral damage, so be it. 

His accuser, a leftist professor, who never previously came forward, initially requested anonymity.  Now self-identified, she demurs on appearing before the senate to confront Kavanaugh. She has said her recollection of the alleged incident is foggy, not remembering where or when it took place.  Others dispute her newfound memory. She and her Democrat strategists are now demanding an FBI investigation be undertaken, though the supposed incident occurred 36 years ago and there is no evidence to investigate.

Know this: Judge Kavanaugh is not the issue.  This is a solely political contrivance to  keep the confirmation from taking place before the midterm elections. The Dems and their willing cohorts Flake and Corker are hoping for a Democrat majority that will deny the president his constitutional right to make Supreme Court appointments.

Although we imagine he’ll be hired by CNN or MSNBC as a GOP turncoat spewing his unique brand of hatred, if Flake returns to his gated community Mesa home, he should be shunned when he ventures out among the community’s mere mortals.

Jeff Flake outed as a “Traitor”

Arizona Republicans who have firsthand knowledge of the deceptive tactics employed by lame duck Sen. Jeff Flake, will find this post that uses the words, “Jeff Flake, Traitor,” as its headline an irresistible must read.

John Hinderaker, one of several attorneys writing for Powerline employs some other choice adjectives for Republicrat Flake, along with describing what he rightly identifies as Flake’s “insane hatred for President Trump,” as the driving force behind his alignment with the Democrat members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Their objective is to scuttle Trump’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Describing Flake’s reprehensible antics as they relate to Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Hinderaker states, “Rarely have I witnessed anything so disgusting in the world of politics.”

Despite rightly declaring Flake “should be ashamed of himself,” the author clings to the hope that Jeff Flake would put his spitefulness in check between now and Thursday, when the Judiciary Committee vote is scheduled to be held.

We would caution him not to hold his breath.

Hinderaker calls Flake out as a never-Trumper and castigates him for elevating “his hatred for our president over every principle of politics and public policy.” He further notes. “Flake would rather subvert his own allegedly conservative principles than allow President Trump to exercise his constitutional powers as president. Words can hardly express how contemptible this is.”

“Allegedly conservative principles” are key words. As an example, there were no conservative principles displayed on the Gang of Eight amnesty scheme orchestrated by Jeff Flake and John McCain in which they colluded with leftists Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Michael Bennet (D-CO), and Dick Durbin (D-IL), along with reliable squishes Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Marco Rubio (R-FL). The concerted effort that would ultimately have increased the ranks of the Democrat Party, rendering Republicans to Whig Party status, was not an endeavor undertaken by principled conservatives.

The only line in his otherwise well-argued column that reveals Hinderaker as a Minnesotan rather than an Arizonan is including Flake among others for whom he “once had considerable respect.” Those of us who are not 1700 miles away have long known flaky Flake as a practiced liar, going back to his reneging on his original term limits pledge made when he ran for the U.S. House in 2000.  When called out on his deception, he displayed his notorious smirk and wisecracked, “I lied.” That was one of the few truths the McCain clone has told.

Brett Kavanaugh: 2018’s version of Clarence Thomas

NARAL, the acronym for National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, is a key leftist player in the attempt to keep Judge Brett Kavanaugh from being confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The group that equates the death of reborn human babies with “choice,” has issued a statement saying the claim of a woman, suddenly coming forth with assault charges against a-then-high-school-age Kavanaugh “must be believed.” Not only that, but she is ”incredibly brave to do so. and must be treated with the respect and dignity that all survivors deserve.”

His accuser is a professor who initially made the charges anonymously and is now reveling in the spotlight. In 1991 Justice Clarence Thomas, also a conservative judicial nominee, was put through the same offensive sexual harassment wringer by Anita Hill, a woman’s studies and law professor who continued to have a working relationship with him, long before hurling the charges.

Judge Kavanaugh, 56, whose credentials are impeccable, has been a Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 2006. Previously, he served for as Senior Associate Counsel and Associate Counsel to President George W. Bush. In the course of his career, he has been vetted six times with no allegations of misconduct surfacing. But those jobs weren’t on the nation’s highest court where liberals desire control.

In the wake of the “Me too” movement, allegations now carry the weight of fact. Men can be discredited without proof, losing their careers, reputations and sometimes, their families. But those are of little consequence when juxtaposed against the ever looming issue of the right to kill — babies. Nothing is so sacred as this go-to-the-mat matter.

Justice Clarence Thomas, the second black on the high court, who had the temerity to be a Republican, described his contemptible hearing in these words:

“This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment. This is a circus. It’s a national disgrace. And from my standpoint, as a black American, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree.”

Kavanaugh will be put through the same garish spectacle because the radical left can’t abide another Republican on the Supreme Court. They and their allies will oppose him with all of the vigor they can muster. 

Anita Hill had Janet Napolitano, a radical Arizonans know all too well, as her lead lawyer. Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser will have Senate Judiciary Committee members Kamala Harris, Lindsey Graham, Cory Booker and Jeff Flake working to take him down. Trump-hating showboater Flake, a lame duck soon to be out the senate door, has already called for delaying the vote until they hear from Kavanaugh’s previously silent accuser.

Judge Kavanaugh issued this statement today:

“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes — to her or to anyone. Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday.” He stated he would speak to the Judiciary panel “in any way the committee deems appropriate” in order to “defend my integrity.”

 

Judge Kavanaugh: Dems disgrace SCOTUS hearing

Today we deviate from our usual posts to present this column by Ben Shapiro titled, “Judge Kavanaugh ambushed by whining, screaming liberals.” written for Eagle PAC.

Shapiro exposes the degradation of what should be a dignified process of evaluating nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Liberals, with their visceral hatred of President Trump on full display during Tuesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, disgraced not only the process, but themselves. They are still in shock over this.

Raging Meghan McMourner

Spiteful attack on President Trump redefines definition of eulogy

Anyone who has suffered the loss of a close family member knows the anguish in having to accept the reality of finality.

With that in mind, it might seem charitable to overlook what Meghan McCain offered as a eulogy to her father during his memorial service in Washington DC’s National Cathedral Saturday.

In addition to dealing with a slow, torturous demise of a loved one losing their cognitive faculties to a rapidly growing brain malignancy, accepting the fact of never again interacting with the person who was integral to your existence is beyond devastating. It must be raw anguish to endure multiple funerals for the same person in successive days, an excess even U.S. Presidents and European royalty resist.

The strain has to verge on intolerable. But it was also a choice. Clearly mourning daughter Meghan also made another choice, as she used the time reserved for tributes and saying farewell, to hurl insults and slurs, or as evident at Friday’s Funeral Number Two, to shoot sidelong eye daggers at Vice President Mike Pence, a deeply devout man who came to offer words of comfort. Taking a direct hit at President Trump‘s campaign slogan on Saturday, she blasted “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again because America was always great.”

How many of us have known of specifically uninvited attendees at a memorial? The animus between McCain and President Trump was unconcealed.  But what did McCain’s dedicated Vice Presidential running mate Sarah Palin do to earn a “Do Not Attend” card?

The death of a loved one brings forth inconsolable emotions. They should not include rage directed at perceived or even actual adversaries. Both George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama were victorious over John McCain in his two failed quests for the presidency, yet McCain included them as he planned his own funeral services. They were invited to attend and speak. The captured pilot later returned to Vietnam in a spirit of accord and with an outstretched hand. Though he opportunistically ran under the Republican banner in red state Arizona, conservatives remained the targets of his continually erupting bile.

His daughter offers venomous words and her perpetually clenched fist — also aimed at conservatives — as she follows in the malicious political footsteps of her father.
