Inject this directly into my veins.

Watch it.

Then watch it again.

Longtime Orrin Hatch campaign manager and Utah political veteran Dave Hansen had this to say:

"What I object to is the use of tax dollars for political ads that say nothing more than, 'I'm a good guy and you need to vote for me.' Those running against them do not have access to taxpayer dollars to run political ads. Neither should sitting members of Congress. Maybe this is an issue that doesn't bother anyone else, but it does me. I do not believe it is the way politics is supposed to be run and such an obvious political message is a misuse of taxpayer dollars."

🚨 THREAD: What do Mike Pence, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, and Elaine Chao have in common? They were all paid by a Marxist-Islamist Iran group that was designated as terrorist until 2012.

No, this is not a joke.

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK) was founded by leftist Islamists to oppose the western-backed Pahlavi, and participated in his 1979 overthrow. Khomeini barred MEK afterwards. MEK was implicated in multiple bombings, including that of Americans, and remained an openly armed group until 2003.

Since they got de-listed as a terrorist organization in 2012 on procedural grounds, MEK and their fronts have been actively recruiting US politicians selling themselves as a moderate alternative to Khomeini. But RAND Corporation says MEK meets the qualifications for a cult, citing criteria such as forcing their members to work 16+ hour days and forced divorces.

Polls of the Iranian-American community shows that they do NOT accept Rajavi, MeK's leader, as legitimate, with a 46-point net disapproval - numbers nearly as bad as the existing regime.

As Pence's former Chief of Staff, Marc Short, has already weighed against Trump deal, it's helpful to recall this.

@RWMaloneMD Thank you for the no-hype information. Very helpful!

@SenSchumer Utah currently has a black Republican member of Congress.

Utah democrats redrew the district to benefit democrats

& are trying to replace the black Republican with a white democrat.

Make it make sense.

Happy Learing Day 🎉
Today the Learing Center and 21 other fraudulent businesses were raided by the FBI.

Here's what this means:
- There was enough evidence to get search warrants
- Tim Walz reversed his previous statements, confirming the fraud is real
- Fraudsters across America are now on alert
- Our tax dollars are being saved

ARREST THEM ALL

🧵🚨 THREAD: How the Charlottesville rally and SPLC birthed an entire billion-dollar-plus "democracy" ecosystem 🚨

11 federal counts. Wire fraud. Money laundering conspiracy. But here's what the SPLC headlines are missing:

• The indictment describes a paid informant in the leadership chat that PLANNED Unite the Right
• That informant "helped coordinate transportation" to the rally... at SPLC's direction
• There is ONE publicly identified organizer whose documented role was transportation coordinator
• His Discord posts about running over protesters were made 26 DAYS before Heather Heyer was killed by a car
• The indictment says postings were made "under the supervision of the SPLC"
• Charlottesville then became the founding event for a billion-dollar political machine
• SPLC installed itself as that machine's definitional gatekeeper

I report. You draw your own conclusions.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

So let me lay this out.

UVU was the institutional home of this network. MWEG held conferences there for 3+ years.... sponsored by the university. Braver Angels personnel were embedded in faculty. UVU professors were building the Dignity Index's empirical base. Color revolution methodology was being taught on campus.

And then Charlie Kirk, the man whose speech the Dignity Index would score as maximum contempt, was shot dead. At UVU. On their campus.

The worst "bridge-building" failure in modern American history happened at ground zero for replicating color revolution methodology in the United States.

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

"We are partnering with Braver Angels... adding our dignity index to the work they're already doing."

Barely a month after Kirk was killed at UVU, the Dignity Index held a 300-person Leadership Summit in Salt Lake City. Braver Angels formally partnered to distribute the Dignity Index nationwide.

Kirk's death wasn't a setback. It was the accelerant.

UPDATE: The legislator who proposed this bill is Mia Bonta, the wife of Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The Attorney General of California's wife is trying to silence me and other journalists who are exposing fraud.

Are your donors mad they are being exposed?

@Alinavisooo Term limits would also fix this and many other problems...just saying.

[Kathleen Anderson @RepubliKate]

So law-abiding voters have their names & home addresses made publicly available while people booked into jail (often for serious charges, including violent or repeat offenses) receive heightened privacy protections that limit what the public and victims can easily see? Of course.

[NormieUtah @NormieUtah]

Time to start fixing Utah’s crap judge problem.

These two are on the ballot in Nov. They are left wing activists who invented the Prop 4 SUPER LAW STATUS.

A new and novel legal concept they just made up.

They stand for retention during the first election after three years. Gov Cox appointed them in 2022. If retained now we are stuck with them FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 10 YEARS. Time for them to go.

Blake Moore Says He’ll Be Financially Fine

At a North Ogden meeting with convention delegates on Saturday, Rep. Blake Moore returned several times to a personal point that stood apart from the policy discussion.

“I’ll be financially fine,” he said, emphasizing that he does not depend on Congress for his livelihood.

The remark surfaced in different forms over the course of roughly two hours at the Weber County Library.

Each time, it came as Moore was responding to sustained questioning about his record.

At one point, he spoke more directly about his background. “I married into a family that has done very well,” he said.

“My father-in-law has been very successful.”

He then described periods earlier in his life when that success mattered more personally.

“There have been times where I’ve had to go to him and ask for help,” he said. “That’s not a good feeling.”

“It’s humbling,” he added. “It’s not something you want to do.”

In other parts of the meeting, Moore emphasized where he stands now. “I’ve been successful in my own career,” he said. “I’ll be financially fine.”

The language varied, but the message held. His financial position is not tied to holding office.

Moore did not introduce the topic on its own.

It appeared in response to pressure. Delegates pressed him on Proposition 4, on federal surveillance authorities, and on the SAVE Act.

As questions turned to consequences, Moore pointed back to independence.

The contrast in focus was consistent.

Delegates asked what policies had produced and what they might produce next.

Moore emphasized how decisions were made and why they were defensable within a broader system.

When discussion turned to voter identification requirements, Moore said, “I reject the idea that this is disenfranchising voters,” while acknowledging that compliance could involve “additional work.”

When discussion turned to redistricting, delegates pressed him on outcomes in Utah.

Moore responded by pointing to courts and to the need for consistency across states.

Alongside those exchanges, the financial point remained in the background, then returned to the foreground.

“I don’t need this job,” he said at one point, framing his service as separate from financial necessity.

Later, he returned again to the same idea. “I’ll be financially fine.”

That assurance may have been intended to establish independence.

It separates his decision making from financial pressure. It signals that he is not holding office out of necessity.

But the room he was speaking to was not asking about his need for the job.

It was asking about the effects of decisions already made.

Those effects are not abstract for the people raising the questions. They involve representation, access, and the practical burdens of compliance. They are experienced unevenly.

Moore described a past where relying on family support was, in his words, “humbling.”

He described a present where that reliance is no longer necessary.

For the delegates in the room, the question was not whether Moore would be financially secure.

It was how the decisions he defended would land on people who are not.

[NormieUtah @NormieUtah]

Salt Lake Blake ignoring THE ISSUE of the day: the Gibson district he created and the suffering he has inflicted upon us.

[Dr Manhattva @Manhattva]

Blake Moore has done more damage to the Republican Party,

Than every Democrat that has ever held office in Utah.

[Karianne Lisonbee @KariLisonbee]

This is a disappointing result after so many volunteers worked so hard to get the signatures needed to put it on the ballot.

Blake Moore put us in this mess by working hard to take redistricting away from our elected representatives and give it to an unelected commission and ultimately, an activist judge.

I’m working hard for Northern Utah, and I need your help to defeat him in the Republican primary. Join the team or donate at https://t.co/7H9V80h712
