Pres. Trump’s unrivaled imprint on federal judiciary

Rational judiciary will be Trump’s legacy long after his second term

With the Republican majority U.S. Senate confirming President Donald Trump’s judicial nominations, Americans are witnessing an end to leftist domination of the federal courts. In addition to putting two Republicans — Judges Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh — on the Supreme Court, he has replaced liberals with conservative judges on the notoriously radical Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is nearing 90 and ailing. The court has issued no further updates to her condition since Nov. 23.

Completing his third year in office, the president is making significant revisions to the judiciary, so far replacing 187 judges on the federal bench, with his nominees accounting for 1 in 4 U.S. Circuit Court judges and hopefully ensuring a decisive move away from routinely left-wing decisions.

President Trump’s historic appointments have already tipped the balance of numerous federal courts to a Republican appointed majority. This includes flipping the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit from a Democrat-appointed majority to an 8 to 6 Republican-appointed majority.

The Trump administration has kept its eye on the ball as numerous other federal courts have been tilted to a Republican-appointed majority. Check out the Heritage Foundation‘s federal judiciary appointment tracker as of December 20^th of each president’s third year.

Though progress has been made in reshaping courts such as the Ninth Circuit that have long been dominated by Democrat-appointed majorities, this lopsided Dec.10, 2019 vote on Patrick J. Bumatay, as United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit exemplifies the partisan nature of the process. The following day, the same type of vote confirmed Lawrence VanDyke, to the Ninth Circuit.

In both instances, Arizona’s Republican Sen. Martha McSally voted “Yea” for confirmation, while Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema voted “Nay” in opposition. When Sinema was campaigning her slogan was, “I just want to get things done.”

This negative partisanship is the fulfillment of Sinema’s promise.

AZ US Rep. Paul Gosar challenged by brassy upstart

A bizarre political trend is gaining momentum. It’s exemplified by the Swedish teenage climate change activist who has been the object of adulation by the left after addressing the United Nations, accusing the U.S. and industrialized nations of “stealing my dreams,” and threatening, “We will not let you get away with this…we will never forgive you.”  Her latest admirer is Leonardo DiCaprio, an anti-Trump, high dollar Democrat donor who was recently described as “swooning” over her as he referred to her as “a leader of our time.”  The object of his adulation preemptively stated she would refuse to meet with President Trump — who never issued an invitation.

Scientists at the Natural History Museum in London have officially named a tiny beetle after her. Fittingly, it has no eyes and lacks wings.

Arizonans have their own versions of this new breed of inexperienced aspirants who take on Republican incumbents. A former Martha McSally staffer living in Prescott is eyeing a congressional run. Though not a teen, Anne Marie Ward, who is in her 20’s, has decided to challenge Congressman Paul Gosar.

She is quoted as saying:

“We need to have younger citizens step up and run at every single level to really bring our conservative values back to life at the local, the state, the federal level,” Ward stated. “We have the Democratic Socialist party gaining momentum and the Republican Party losing momentum, and with that shift it’s time for the young generation to step forward and start using their voice to represent our communities again.”

She obviously missed the fact that it is the youth vote, known as millennials, that moved unlikely Bernie Sanders, an acknowledged socialist, within spitting distance of leading the 2016 Democrat ticket. They support radical leftist Elizabeth Warren and turned out to elect extremists Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib to congress. In response, the four women known as “the squad,‘ have irrationally called for lowing the voting age from 18 to 16.

Equally ill-prepared for the U.S. Senate seat he’s announced for, is Daniel McCarthy, 34, who is challenging incumbent U.S. Sen. Martha McSally for one of Arizona’s two senate seats — one already in the clutches of Dem Kyrsten Sinema. McCarthy’s ego-driven entry will do nothing more than aid current challenger, Mark “Mr. Gabby Giffords” Kelly, a gun-grabber, who is being funded by Socialist multi-billionaire George Soros.

Youth is great. We all wish we could keep it and our biceps, permanently ward off wrinkles and graying follicles. But the years bring with them the respectable trade-off of experience and wisdom.

At 60, retired dentist and current AZ CD-4 Congressman, Paul Gosar is just reaching his prime. He’s doing an excellent job in congress. Gosar is a known conservative who earned a Liberty Score “A“ rating from Conservative Review.

His unknown challenger, not even a decade out of her teens, tells us she holds to those same principles. Why, then, does she think we need to replace him?

AZ Sen. McSally challenged by egotistical millennials

Daniel McCarthy, Blake Masters aid Democrats

It would be the height of understatement to say the last thing Arizona Republicans desire are two Democrats representing the state in the U.S. Senate. Conservatives cringe at the thought.

Yet some senior activists, who should know better, are falling in line behind an untested 34-year-old, lacking even the slimmest credentials. SRAZ has previously written about lightweight Daniel McCarthy. Review those posts at the conclusion of this one.

McCarthy and his even younger doppelganger Blake Masters, 33, — now considering entering the race — each describe themselves as “entrepreneurs.” Both have young families that would presumably benefit from a father living closer than 2,000 miles away in D.C. What they are lacking in political experience, they make up for in the brash overconfidence that comes from an era when excellent is no longer prized, as educrats give participation awards in both academics and sports for just showing up, to eliminate injured feelings.

Their foolish shortsightedness is a gift to the Dems. Soros-backed candidate, Mark “Mr. Gabby Giffords” Kelly, a classic leftist, seeks to gut our constitutionally enshrined Second Amendment rights, and has already raised record amounts of money, as evidenced by this FEC report. It should come as no surprised that some of Republicrat John McCain’s (19-second video) donors have reportedly flipped to radical Mark Kelly.

Both aspirants blame Martha McSally for losing to Democrat metamorphic changeling Kyrsten Sinema and then being appointed to fill a vacant senate seat previously held by McCain, and temporarily by former Sen. Jon Kyl. Abraham Lincoln, who lost several elections, would not have engendered support from these rigid political novices, who believe losing makes you a loser. What they fail to acknowledge is Sen. McSally is a former two-term Arizona congresswoman. Prior to serving in Congress, the Air Force Academy graduate who attained the rank of colonel, was the first female fighter pilot to fly in combat and first to command a fighter squadron in combat in United States history. Most importantly, she has won the “total and complete endorsement” of President Trump…whom both challengers and their hangers-on claim to support. Declared challenger McCarthy has a high school diploma and a successful wife who invented a makeup removal product. Displaying his political ignorance, he has boasted about his ability to self-fund his campaign.

Martha McSally is an extraordinary woman. She was a very talented fighter jet pilot and is now a highly respected member of Congress. She is Strong on Crime, the Border and our under siege 2nd Amendment. Loves our Military and our Vets. Has my total and complete Endorsement!

11 Republicrats undercut Trump’s border funding

While our attention has been diverted by the Dems impeachment hyperbole, 11 traitorous Republicrats have joined their Democrat brethren attempting to hamstring President Trump’s prioritized border wall construction.

S.J. Res.54, a joint resolution sponsored by Tucson-born, New Mexico Senator Tom Udall, terminates the national emergency related to the U.S.-Mexico border, declared by President Trump on February 15, 2019. The full senate vote can be seen here. Notice that four of the five who did not vote are Democrat Presidential candidates.

Sen. Martha McSally voted in support of President Trump.  Kyrsten Sinema, recently threatened with a censure vote by the AZ Democrat party hierarchy was sufficiently chastised to fall back in line. Felecia Rotellini, the Dem state chairman was once a competitive weightlifter.

Udall, part of a left-wing family dynasty, is throwing this switch after announcing his retirement as of 2020. Not faced with having to justify his ruthless actions to voters, he’ll slide out of the senate on a cushion of cash and bundle of vengeance. Dismissive of his constituents who endure the harsh realities and staggering costs the onslaught masses of illegals present, Udall tweeted about “President Trump’s phony national emergency.”

BREAKING: the Senate has passed my resolution to protect the Constitution and end President Trump’s phony national emergency.

This is the second time the Senate has spoken up, and we’ve spoken up big— the Trump admin needs to listen to our clear, bipartisan message. https://t.co/498nu0hCBa

Udall is also the second cousin of Utah Sen. Mike Lee, another one of the compliant 11, who would rather undercut the president’s authority than protect our country from invasion.

Dems’ Sinema ire can’t match GOP McCain revulsion

The local newspaper ran a lengthy front-page report titled, “Sinema avoids censure by state Dems.” The state party leaders, who met in Prescott on Saturday, apparently think Kyrsten Sinema isn’t sufficiently radical to suit them. The word “progressive” got quite a workout by left-wing reporter Yvonne Wingett Sanchez,  who used it five times in each of the five short opening paragraphs.

Progressive is the forward thinking term preferred by the left as they try to conceal their true extremist agenda, while trying to sound like Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt charging in wearing a jaunty cavalry hat.

When Arizona Republicans had their fill of RINOcrat John McCain, he was censured by elected precinct committeemen in Maricopa County. The censure vote against McCain passed overwhelmingly — 1,150 in support with only 351 opposed. Read the complete Resolution to Censure John McCain, including a list of grievances. Other counties around the state held similar votes calling his unsavory alliances into question. Following many of Arizona‘s 15 counties, McCain was censured again 2 weeks later — most effectively and notably at the GOP mandatory statutory state meeting of elected state committeemen. He retaliated by enlisting his operatives to run an under-the-radar campaign to purge conservative elected committeemen. Jon Kyl had previously engaged in this internecine warfare.

Unlike the Dems, we put our money where our mouths are, censuring McCain for actions adverse to the party under whose banner he opportunistically opted to run.

Sinema‘s repositioning began in 2015 while in the U.S. House. She deviously reconstructed herself becoming a political chameleon as she ran for the U.S. Senate without ever using the word “Democrat” in her ads, and repeatedly saying, “she just wanted to get things done.”

Now, indicative of a short lived romance, the Democrat Party she embraced after losing previous elections as a Green Party candidate, is ready for Sinema to be “done“… coming after her with pitchforks.

Deviant Dem megadonor Ed Buck finally arrested after 3rd man overdoses & Update

Two other men died after participating in sexual fetishes, including Buck administering injections of methamphetamines

Longtime Arizona residents will have no trouble recalling how the leftist Arizona Republic chronicled and canonized the effort to impeach conservative Gov. Evan Mecham. We’ve been inundated with praiseful accounts of a certain war hero, but few are aware Mecham left college to join the U.S. Army Air Corps during the height of World War II, receiving training as a fighter pilot. He was shot down and held as a prisoner of war receiving an Air Medal and Purple Heart for his valiant service. Active in his church and a successful businessman, he served in the state senate before winning a three-way race for governor in 1986.

Former readers of the extremist rag, masquerading as a disseminator of news, will recall the infamous photo of a then-young Ed Buck, delivering recall petitions to the State Capitol. That brash young man is older— with a head of white hair — but certainly not wiser.

Buck, a name he altered from Buckmelter, was a homosexual activist who organized the recall shortly after Mecham’s inauguration.

Columnist EJ Montini and the newspaper served as ‘Cheerleaders for Buck,’ who at the time appeared to come from central casting:  young, fresh-faced, and gay…the radical “trifecta.”

The newspaper happily embraced all efforts including a successful impeachment to take down Gov. Mecham. He was eventually cleared in a criminal trial, but not before he was removed from office. Mecham’s unforgivable flaw was his conservative political bent.

After doing his damage here, Buck left the desert for Tinseltown, where his basic lack of character eventually caught up with him — despite the willful blindness of the myriad Democrats with whom he hobnobbed and financially benefited. Ed Buck, 65, is finally in police custody.

Seeing Red AZ covered Buck’s deadly sexual predatory proclivities in this January 2019 post, “Dem donor Ed Buck, 2 dead men and counting & Update,“ after the second of two gay men had been found dead in his West Hollywood apartment. The third man who managed to escape, survived a methamphetamine overdose, turned out to be one too many and slippery Ed Buck shown in this KTLA 5 news report cowering in the back seat of a police car after being charged by the Los Angeles County District Attorney with 3 felony counts connected to operating a drug house — which he mysteriously evaded far too long. The deaths are not charged in this complaint. Buck’s bond has been set at $4 million. It’s unlikely any of the prominent state and federal Democrat candidates — Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Adam Schiff, among the recipients of Buck’s generous campaign donations — will reciprocate, helping to spring their deviant donor. 

Buck has given more than $500,000 to a wide array of Democrat groups and candidates, including Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey — obviously attempting to curry favor with the powerful who are current office holders. The DCCC has reportedly received at least $5,000 from Buck. AZ Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s PAC, Getting Stuff Done, (GSD-PAC) was a recipient of Buck’s generosity, separate from his donations to her campaign, which she ultimately returned. She’s a self-identified “bi-sexual” which no doubt made her even more worthy of his support.

In a motion filed Wednesday, prosecutors set the high bail identifying Buck as a “violent, dangerous sexual predator,” noting he “offered drugs, money and shelter to mainly addicted and homeless men in exchange for participating in sexual fetishes, including a fetish that involved administering dangerous doses of drugs.”

Buck “has no regard for human life,” the motion correctly assessed.

American Thinker has an important update on deviant Ed Buck and his connection to high ranking democrats. Columnist Monica Showalter exposes, “The New York Times has been trying to dismiss the arrest of Ed Buck, a Democratic fatcat … as a “small-time Democratic donor,” but the facts on the ground suggest he was a rather big one. And maybe that’s a function of the paper’s desire to protect its masters, the Democrats. They aren’t known as Democratic operatives with bylines for nothing.”

Sinema’s new concern for families? Rewind the film

According to this press release, Arizona’s leftist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema has not only teamed up with Louisiana Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, M.D., she has taken a dive on her former stance regarding mothers with young children. 

This is a summary of their “Bipartisan solution” to help new parents, complete with government subsidies and no restrictions on how parents can utilize the advanced funds of up to $5,000. They’ve even collaborated on a booklet filled with “Frequently asked questions.”

Their generosity with our tax dollars is literally dripping off the page. Parents who already receive paid leave through their employer or state could continue to do so, forgoing the new benefit and continuing to receive their full yearly Child Tax Credit. Low-income families that do not qualify for the full, refundable Child Tax Credit could, under the senators’ bipartisan plan, claim a benefit adjusted to 100 percent wage replacement for 12 weeks of work. For those families, the proposal also extends the 10-year repayment schedule to 15 years.

When not blatantly lying about her homeless childhood to achieve maximum impact or hurling coarse insults, Sinema, an early supporter of Obamacare, learned to turn a phrase for optimum benefit:

“I used to say that I wanted universal health-care coverage in Arizona, which went over like a ton of bricks. Turns out, Arizonans hear the word ‘universal’ and think ‘socialism’— or ‘pinko commie.’ But when I say that I want all Arizonans to have access to affordable, quality health care, Arizonans agree wholeheartedly. Same basic idea, different language.”

Her documented ties to the Communist Party were revealed by Breitbart. The National Republican Senatorial Committee posted these videos of statements Sinema has actually made.

Sinema, who refused to take her oath of office on the Bible, scores 100 percent alignment with Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider and supporter of late term abortions, viewed by rational people as infanticide.

As a member of the AZ legislature — who ran and lost as a Green party candidate before becoming a Democrat — and an early supporter of same-sex marriage, the acknowledged bi-sexual mockingly blasted women who devote themselves to their families rather than working outside the home. Her crude comment was:

“These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life. That’s bulls**t. I mean, what the f**k are we really talking about here?”

Following the spirit of unity Dems claim to embrace, Sinema derided conservatives as “Neanderthals.”

Sen. Bill Cassidy, elected as a Republican, is a medical doctor who has been in D.C. since 2008. He didn’t just fall off the turnip truck. What would cause him to form this bewildering alliance?
