@tylerbowyer@NancyCottle1 Let's be fair here. Great ideas all, but he could succeed completely and still not have advanced things as far as @RonDeSantis has in Florida. I'd still be happy with it, but model for the country? Meh, not even the model of Florida.
@AmericanAir I don't mind advertisements. But you are trying to sell me a product that I just clicked the button to use. I may be the last person on the planet who needs to be told the product exists. I'm trying to use it that very instance. That's all. Love the WiFi though! And AA!
Want to use WiFi on @AmericanAir? It's easy, you just have to first watch a 30 sec advertisement for... WiFi being available on American Airlines... No one else does this. Want a Big Mac? Sure, just first watch a 30 sec commercial for a Big Mac... See, it sounds stupid, right?
Well now I'm just confused about the word "classified", because I thought it would be for stuff you didn't want your adversaries to know about. Maybe Kelly's adversaries are different from America's adversaries so he wants to share instead of keeping it classified?
After hearing the Pentagon classified brief on Iran war impact on US weapons stockpiles, Senator Mark Kelly says it is "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines." He said the Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD rounds, Patriot rounds, so those interceptor rounds to defend ourselves have been hit hard. He says it'll take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical US conflict with China. @FaceTheNation
Mark Kelly endorsing Republicans for statewide office in Arizona. Kind of a big deal? Nah, I wager he will endorse those in charge of this decline this fall. And then run again himself, maybe even for President, so he can spread this decline across the nation.
A new report ranks Arizona as one of the least affordable states in the country. Since 2019, household costs have risen faster than the national average. Arizonans are spending thousands more per year on basics, from housing to food to child care. We have to do better.
I get wanting the SAVE America Act to pass.
But this whole schtick happening where politicians and influencers are just conceding the midterms over a law that didn't exist when we *won* the last election is ridiculous.
Remember kids, though the GOP won in 2024 with Trump getting the popular vote, the grifters will tell you the losses this year are because the SAVE Act didn’t pass. Why actually assess the problems when we mythologize our way to victimhood for the profit of a few.
I’m grateful to have the continued support of State Representative John Gillette as I run to serve as the next Arizona House Representative for Legislative District 30.
From day one, John didn’t hesitate. He didn’t wait to see how things would play out. He made it clear early on that he believes in me, in this campaign, and in the fight we are carrying forward.
That matters.
John Gillette is a proven conservative fighter. He has stood strong for Arizona, defended our values, and never backed down when it counted. And when someone like that puts their name behind you from the very beginning, it says something.
Why me?
Because I’ve already been doing the work.
As President of the Lake Havasu Unified School District Governing Board, I didn’t sit on the sidelines. I led. I took action to remove DEI from our schools and put parents back where they belong at the center of their children’s education. I worked to eliminate harmful chemicals and dyes from school lunches because our kids deserve better. I led the charge to give our teachers the biggest raise in the history of the district. And I’ve stood strong to protect our daughters by fighting to keep boys out of girls sports and out of girls bathrooms.
I don’t just talk about conservative values. I take action and deliver results.
This campaign isn’t built on promises. It’s built on proven leadership, real results, and the courage to do what’s right no matter the pressure.
As Representative John Gillette said, “David Rose is the proven America First fighter to replace me in the Arizona House.”
John Gillette knows this district needs someone who won’t fold under pressure, won’t compromise our values, and won’t go to the Capitol just to go along. He knows it needs a fighter who will continue the work and push it even further.
That’s why he chose to stand with me from the start.
I’m ready to take that fight to the Arizona House and work alongside strong leaders to advance the America First agenda, protect our freedoms, and secure the future for our children and grandchildren.
We’re not slowing down. We’re building something strong. And we’re going to win.
David Rose
Candidate for Arizona House of Representatives, LD30
Nobody is skeptical of autonomous elevators because nobody alive today was even around to see a human elevator operator in real life before the last one got laid off. Automation is far safer.
If every voter had to pick between 2 parties & had to vote according to their registration, this would be ok analysis. But to target someone who outperforms virtually everyone else in their own party and accuse them of underperforming.? This is persuasion, disguised as analysis.
Its not a 50-50 district, @DavidSchweikert,
The GOP outnumbers Democrats by 12 POINTS in CD-1,
Your races are close because you consistently underperform.
