Name Game: Which democrat Said the Election Was Stolen?
Democrats have a long history of questioning election results. In fact, for decades they have refused to accept the results of countless elections. Can you guess which democrat said the following yet was never indicted or arrested? Answers at the very end of the newsletter.
“I believe that if everyone in Florida who tried to vote had had his or her vote counted properly, that I would have won.”
“There is no doubt in my mind that Al Gore was elected president.”
“The 2004 election was flawed” suggesting problems were the result of “manipulation.”
“His (Trump’s) election was illegitimate.”
“The 2016 Election was stolen.”
“A full investigation would show Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. Based on what I just said, I can’t retract it.”
“Evidence seems to suggest the race for governor in Georgia was stolen from Stacey Abrams.”
“I absolutely agree” that President Trump is “an illegitimate President.”
Gosar Introduces Amendments to FY2024 Defense Appropriations Act
This week, I introduced two amendments to H.R. 4365, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2024.
Who is more important: our own soldiers or Ukrainian soldiers? I think any rational person would say our own military. Unfortunately, that’s not what is in the current budget bill, and I aim to change that.
First, I introducedamendment number 10 to reduce the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative by $300,000,000 and simultaneously increase the pay for enlisted service members by $300,000,000. The United States has already wasted $100 billion fighting a proxy war in Ukraine in which we have no national security interest being in. Rather than sending another dime to Ukraine, my amendment strips out $300 million dollars for Ukrainian soldiers stashed in the annual defense funding bill and instead increases the pay of our brave service members right here in the United States by $300 million.
I also introduced amendment number 12, reducing the salary of General Mark Milley to $1. Milley is the worst general ever and has turned our military into a gobal laughingstock. Our enemies are emboldened as Milley has repeatedly showed cowardice and incompetence.
After years of promoting homosexuality and drag shows on military bases and ships, Joe Biden’s Department of Defense has ravaged our Armed Forces. Perhaps these amendments will help incentivize military recruitment and support military retention, both of which have dwindled since Biden took office.
This week, I cosponsored H.R. 1525, the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration Act of 2023 This bill would remedy a gross violation of people’s constitutional rights that has been going on for decades by reforming our nation’s civil asset forfeiture laws by raising the level of proof necessary to seize property and increases transparency and congressional oversight. Today, federal agents can seize whatever property they want without due process and then are able sell it or spend it if it cash. It’s the most un-American program we run and his ruined many lives. All it takes is one government official, based on a naked and unsupported allegation, to claim your car, boat, house, jewelry, cash or guns were used in a crime or bought with proceeds of a crime. The confiscation is final.
“As I pointed out, Mr. Gosar and Mr. Biggs, the comments that they make are insulting. Sometimes, if not racist, right on the border. I’m not going to stop calling them out on that kind of stuff. That’s not part of the dialogue,” Grijalva said. “With that point of view and to continue to interject that into the discussion, then there is no opportunity to find the middle ground.”
This is a blatant lie. My efforts to secure the border have never been about race, religion, or anything other than one thing: if you break our laws and come here illegally you should be deported. Period. I don’t care what country of origin you come from. Or what continent. If you crossed here illegally you need to leave and be permanently barred from reentry. That’s the law.
Those who say it’s about race project their own views. It is about race for him and others. For the rest of us it is about the rule of law.
Guess what? When it comes to this type of lying to the public, I say the following: “the comments that they make are insulting. Sometimes, if not racist, right on the border. I’m not going to stop calling them out on that kind of stuff. That’s not part of the dialogue.”
It’s Mail Time!
This week I issued a press release noting my concerns regarding the arrest of President Trump in Georgia. Overall, I received many supportive notes. However, I seemed to have touched a nerve with the always angry leftists. Here are a few of the letters I received this week, but I must caution you: READER ADVISORY – the communists are full of vile and spiteful hatred and use a lot of profanity.
Patrick L. from El Mirage, AZ spews:
Your ignorance is appalling, and your claims are dishonest and deceitful! You bring dishonor to your position and are a clear and present danger to the good people of Arizona. I can see why your whole family despises you!
Donald Trump had four years to “fix the election system in America. He didn’t because the election system in the USA is the fairest, most accurate and most respected in the world. Guys like you and trump [sic] try to tear down of fine institutions in order to pad your pockets, cling to power and destroy the trust and credibility of hard-working Americans to hide your criminality. Trump is a liar and cheat and so are you! I pity your soul as trump’s [sic] bitch, you contemptible boot licker!
Patrick, thank you for the laugh. This made my day: “the election system in the USA is the fairest, most accurate and most respected in the world.” It’s so good I might put it on a T-shirt. That’s irony! You might want to talk to Hilary Clinton, Al Gore and Stacey Abrams. They are on your side and strongly disagree with you.
The truth is there is bipartisan concern that our elections are gamed. The perception by over half the population is that our elections are not fair and accurate. That’s why we need transparency.
Irina L. from Phoenix fumes:
Trump: Lock him up! Guilty as charged. Stain on American democracy.
Crook and pathological liar.
A self-absorbed idiot and a criminal who should be banned from politics for life just like Gosar.
Irina, that’s almost a haiku. Let me edit for you:
Trump. Lock him up now.
Stain on democracy.
Gosar. Banned for life.
It’s my pleasure to help you with your poetry. Even if you are a fascist that supports authoritarians who “lock up” political opponents.
David M. from Chandler rages with hate and seems possessed:
Is Gosar going to suck it up when he is indicted and just do the time like a good Nazi? Or will he become a witness and sell out all the other scumbag Nazi fucks?
His fucking mugshot will be great!
Fuck you, you fucking scumbag piece of shit Nazi fucks.
Hope you are enjoying your last months of freedom, because if they have Trump, Giuliani and all those fucking fake electors in GA, then I am sure they have your dumbass.
All this effort and you dumb fuckers can’t win elections to save your fucking life.
David, I voted for the Health and Human Services budget which includes mental health counseling. Somewhere there is a psychiatrist that can help you. Until then let’s just remind you that you support Ukraine and Ukraine isan actual NAZI regime. And your joy at jailing political opponents and labeling them is very Fascist…Almost full Nazi. You doth protest too much. Jesus loves you. The rest of us don’t.
In contrast, Natalie L. shares:
Sir, I want to express my appreciation for your courage in standing up for President Trump. Many of us see how he’s being railroaded, there’s not even a semblance of following any laws. Many of us are watching the destruction of America by people that have no honor, decency, etc. Also, many of us are praying and though no one knows the future, we’re holding onto Romans 8:28. As I wrote, I don’t live in Arizona so can’t vote for you, but people of like mind do. I’ve added you to my prayer list & again, thank you for your courage, it’s inspiring! May God bless you.
Natalie. Your prayers boost my spirit. I agree that God works ALL things for the best. I will continue to work to restore our once great nation. God bless you.
And finally, Mike L. from Sierra Vista, AZ adds:
NO SH$T! It’s about time Republicans had his (Trump’s) back!
Mike: Amen. We must undo this banana republic we have become and restore the rule of law and decency.
Tweet of the Week:
Photo of the Week:
This week, we’ll take a break from including a photo submitted by a constituent. Instead, I will include the mugshot of President Donald Trump taken by the radical leftist Fulton County District Attorney. President Trump’s mugshot is the most important photo taken in our lifetime – it’s a picture of what happens to anyone who dares stand up against the forces wanting to destroy our country. The more you indict, the more we unite!
Well return to normal next week! Do you have photography skills? Do you want the chance for your photograph to be featured as our “Picture of the Week?” If so, send your best shots of our great state to Anthony.foti@mail.house.gov. Remember to include your name and where you live. We have a beautiful state, let’s show her off!
