"I personally don’t care which person wins the nomination. What I want is for the Democrats to be blown out of power with such force that they must face who they are and what they have become."

Yes!!

I didn't believe that was a real Vanity Fair headline, but holy shit it is.

I like DeSantis, even though some things he has done recently aren't my faves. He's strongly anti-woke and it takes a steady hand to stand up to those tyrants. I voted for Trump twice (way better than either alternative), but I wish he would bow out bc I think it's possible he could lose fairly, & I think it's guaranteed the Dems will cheat on multiple levels to beat him------they successfully did it in 2020 & so the trail is blazed. I am alarmed at how much I distrust all levels of DC government---it's like being a different person. I automatically distrust every mainstream media story----how many times can they lie & be exposed lying & STILL people believe them?! In a very strange way, Covid was a gift that opened our eyes to how extensively the govt lies; how the media knows this & endorses it anyway; the truth is called disinformation; independent journalists have fled networks, papers, magazines bc they're all in on the scam; the intelligence community is the biggest threat everyday Americans face; and the FBI is so deeply corrupt that many Americans think it should be completely disbanded. I wouldn't have believed this before Trump & the Dems' reaction to him. Russiagate & the unbelievable amount of lying it took to prop that up and only 50% of the people understand it was ALL a lie. I can't imagine the level of cognitive dissonance to be a Democrat & see the truth. Russiagate followed by Covid followed by endless huge mistakes by Biden (or whoever is actually running the country) followed by revelations of truth that are just ignored by the media. Not published. Blacked out. The main thing that I want is transparency on all levels of govt and that's the media's undone JOB. We are into year 7 of post-2016 election, and everything is still upside-down. I do disagree with those who want the country to split in two-----America is worth fighting for and we can't let the LIARS win.

"Julie Kelly asks, Why is everyone protecting Ray Epps?

Good question. You don’t go from demanding everyone “go into the Capitol” and then two seconds later disappear out of town, calling the FBI to “clarify” who you are. His story is not plausible."

You don't have to be a wild eyed conspiracy nut, to Ask That Very Question. This is Just 1 question I have about the 2020 election. I've been following Presidential races since Nixon v Kennedy. I those 60+ years, I've seen some strange things, but nothing (and I mean NOTHING) remotely close to the 2020 election. Someday we will get the real story (or something close to it) about the 2020 election.

God bless Tom Bevan, and RCP, a legitimate altenative to Politico - though I believe Instapundit is still the king.

Ever since RCP's own polling proved to be abysmally inaccurate after the midterms, though, anything on its website I have to take with a shaker of salt.

Kudos to him for persevering, however.

I liked DeSantis more before he signed that "hate speech law" a month ago. Five years in prison for saying something the government doesn't like about Jews! He even made a big show of signing the bill in Israel, which didn't impress me. He also waffled about Ukraine, apparently after potential donors let him know that any questioning of American involvement in that war is verboten. The man blows with the wind.

Not that I like Trump very much either! No one with thin skin should be in a position of great power.

The MAGAPAC attack ads against DeSantis amuse me. Methinks the Orange Man doth protest too much.

I hope that you had a chance to eat at the Fish Market in Old Town Alexandria. They are famous for their "schooners" of beer and some of the best seafood outside of a real crab shack on the bay.

SO nice to hear that your daughter lives in Ohio...fly over country. I’ve been an Ohioan my entire life, yet traveled the world...there’s no better place than Ohio to call home. Travel safe Sasha

Love the pictures from your trip. What a wonderful cross country trip to see your daughter. Nothing better in life than spending time with our children, especially adult children we can be proud of. Circle of life❤️

If I lived in FL, I’d be upset at re-electing my governor who promised 4 years only to start a ‘book tour’ 2 months later (disguised campaigning). DeSantis 2028 ok, not 2024. Trump now knows how deep the deep State is and knows how as President he can fight. Heck, if Obama and Biden can run amok over proper governance, now it’s his turn. Trump was lied to, lied about, wrongfully accused and impeached, and now frivolous lawsuits to fight. It’s Trump 2024. DeSantis has the Bushes, Paul Ryan, and Silicon Valley proving funds and controlling him -- no thanks to the RINOs who are as bad as the Democrats. I want these traitors Clinton, Obama, Biden, Blinken, Clapper, Brennan, and others charged for their crimes. They are destroying our nation.

Thanks, Sasha, for sharing your vacation with us. Your election story can wait while we take note of what's really important. I began watching the video of the lady renovating her home in the wilderness. I'll get back to it when I don't feel hurried. Safe travels on your way back home.
