If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.

Oftentimes, we aim too high in our seething and righteous anger toward the political ruling class. It is easy to deeply resent Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, or Kamala Harris. The sophisticated political thinker, by now, should also openly resent most of the Republican Party leadership, which has done nothing but cede ground to the radical left’s militant agenda. “Republican good, Democrat bad” expired as a political philosophy more than a decade ago, thanks to the feckless “leadership” of John McCain, Mitt Romney, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan.
These obvious bad apples force us to overlook those who are destroying individual states in rapid order. Arizona voted for Harry Truman in 1948, then switched to Republicans at the presidential level when Eisenhower ran in 1952 and stayed that way until Bill Clinton pulled an upset in 1996. George W. Bush pulled it back into the “red” in 2000, and even Donald Trump won the state and Maricopa County in 2016, while having fewer votes in the latter than Mitt Romney did four years prior.
Trump’s performance in Arizona in 2020 was legendary, and I have made that point over and over. To overcome his enormous gain in votes in a state blue once in 72 years took massive cheating, a clear indication that elections officials knew Trump’s total vote and took a week to get around it by the slimmest of margins, using the media to manipulate public thought on the matter as it unfolded. The same exact play was used last week against Kari Lake and other premier Republican candidates, who are actively contesting the result.
Which magistrate in Arizona could have intervened to address a corrupt and fraudulent election then and after the fact? The Republican Attorney General, Mark Brnovich. Rather than cracking skulls and bringing his state to order, Brnovich acted like a horse’s ass in public in the immediate aftermath of the Maricopa audit findings reveal, releasing an embarrassing video twirling nunchaku on a rooftop when his citizens expected action to, at minimum, make sure an election disaster at the level of 2020 would never happen again. This should have been the first indication that Brnovich had absolutely no plan or intention to bring about justice for a vast election conspiracy to deprive Arizonans of their legitimate voice at the polls.
In March, Brnovich was spotted socializing with Stephen Richer, Maricopa County’s corrupt “Republican” recorder, suggesting a lack of impartiality which compromises the role of the Attorney General, particularly with regard to investigating the corrupt 2020 election.
In April, seven months after the Maricopa County audit concluded, and 17 months after the 2020 election concluded, Brnovich woke from hibernation to issue a report on the audit, pretending to be appalled at the reported illegalities that render that election uncertifiable. I wrote a summary of Brnovich’s writings and followed each major point with my assessment for State Senator Wendy Rogers.
The business of the people is secondary, perhaps tertiary to Brnovich’s goals. His immediate goal was to become a U.S. Senator, a dream that ended in the August primary when he came in third behind Blake Masters and Jim Lamon for the Republican nomination. Now you know, Arizona. Your Attorney General’s vain aspiration was to run for U.S. Senate rather than potentially reap political backlash that would derail his run for higher federal office.
As if these things were not enough, Brnovich took to Twitter yesterday to announce that he is “acting governor” over the weekend. A true statesmen would not put out the type of jackass humor pictured below discussing music and video games in a time of crisis, broadcast from a position of authority. Two-third of Americans believe cheating impacted the midterms, and he is arguably seated right on the belt buckle of all that corruption.
Brnovich is America’s modern version of Marie-Antoinette, who, according to legend, is said to have advised the French peasantry to eat cake (“let them eat cake”), even though they lacked even the most basic bread. This likely embellished story serves as an example of the elite’s blindness and obliviousness toward the basic will and needs of the people.
If all politics is local, Brnovich should never again be allowed to hold a political position anywhere in Arizona, let alone Washington, D.C. For all the talk about reshaping the Republican Party, it is hard to imagine such a thing is possible so long as it is full of Brnovichs, Duceys, McCains, Romneys, Kristols, Richers, and Bushes.
Brnovich and his ilk are the vain and aspiring men holding the highest seats in government that Samuel Adams and other founders warned about. For America to be free, they must be prevented from holding position of influence ever again. That starts with the parties who nominate them and extends to the citizens who must never give up the fight against corruption in elections and everywhere else.
Well stated, Seth. It is such a relief to me that you, Douglas Frank, Mike Lindell, Mike Flynn, Patrick Byrne, and others call out the fact that both major political parties have corruption. The UniParty is real. The Establishment is protecting their power and they have sold out We The People to preserve their power. This is why the GOP sabotages America First candidates; they are a threat because they think independently and will put America, its people, and the US Constitution first -- not The Party. The sooner registered Republicans realize that and stop letting themselves be manipulated like Lenin's "useful idiots" -- stop just voting the slate and instead do their homework to get to know the candidates and what they really stand for and determine who best aligns with their values and will best represent them and vote accordingly -- the better. The obvious corruption has been tolerated by good people for too long. The Democratic party is already controlled by the Marxists (Communist Goal for America #15), and they have infiltrated the Republican party (a goal openly stated by the likes of Hillary Clinton and others). If the corruption cannot be rooted out of the GOP, which is looking more and more impossible, the Republican party needs to to go the way of the Whig party. The sell outs can join the Dems and the patriots can unite under the Constitution party!
So very true - the corruption at the local level doesn't get nearly the exposure it deserves. Not to be "pushy," but what are your thoughts on the FOURTEEN National Guard units that electronically watched all the elections as they were underway and, according to someone who was allowed to watch, too, the real-time fraud was captured. Interesting to see the states that were publicly announced for that project (but I'm sure ALL of them were being watched, regardless). Hawaii is one of the fourteen and Our Favorite Son, Tupai, allegedly was defeated. Yet Ballotopedia released early results showing Tupai beating the opposition EIGHT TO ONE. So... how does he suddenly lose unless it's thanks to the Office of Elections corrupt administration? When will we SEE those results of fraud that the National Guard acquired. Something like that may be the only thing to wake up the overly-trusting mainstream Hawaiian public..
