Tired of being *played* by the GOPe? Get their attention with the power of the primary.

We told you earlier about how DOGE has been reduced to something being run out of the Office of Management and Budget.  Now we hear Ed Martin has been bounced out of the Government weaponization office at the Department of Justice. 

A grand total of ONE cut recommended by DOGE has passed the GOP-controlled Congress. We’ve actually got elected Republicans reinstating wasteful spending the Trump White House cut via Executive Order.  We’ve got a lot of elected Republicans — including our not very smart junior US Senator — trying to sabotage the illegal alien cleanup efforts being led by ICE and DHS.

The way things are going, a change in partisan control at The White House or on Capitol Hill could easily wipe away any of the changes Trump has made.  So little of it has been codified into law.

We can’t even get Republicans in Washington to approve voter ID.

We voted for what Trump and his team are giving us. Yet the elected GOP is falling all over itself to please the Democrats and the legacy media retards. 

Democrats tell you what they want to do and then DO IT.  The Republicans will say some attractive things and then do NONE OF IT.

What do we do?

Welcome to primary season, folks.  The standard response from the establishment when they see we are mad is to say something like: “Yeah, do that and turn it all over to the Democrats.”

How about if I just vote you OUT in the primary?  Replace you with another Republican who is not yet the foaming-at-the-mouth liar you’ve become? 

In North Carolina, we’ve got a small victory in Thom Tillis‘s *retirement.*. (Too bad we have to put up with the jagoff for another year.)

Getting Phil Berger out of elected office would be another great grassroots victory.  According to what I’m hearing out of Rockingham and Guilford counties, that is very possible. (Berger has led the NCGOP’s transformation into an even bigger whoring-for-lobbyist-dollars operation than Basnight or Black could have ever dreamed of.)

Over in the 11th congressional district (out west), we understand incumbent Chuck Edwards has a real fight on his hands.  Edwards got his ticket from Raleigh to Washington punched thanks to some strategic use of the primary by Thom Tillis.  Thom was having a fight with incumbent Republican Madison Cawthorn. So, Thom went out and found his buddy, then-state senator Chuck Edwards and signed him to run against Cawthorn.  Tillis and his cronies threw a bunch of sketchy, shady dark money into the mix, and VOILA. We now have  congressman Chuck Edwards — who is more liberal than 80 percent of all House Republicans. 

Thom replaced a conservative Republican with a liberal one.  Why can’t we do the reverse?  How does it *hurt the party* by replacing a lefty GOPe type with a guy or gal who actually stands by the party platform? 

You’ve got a good conservative option out there in the 11th.  A guy with a great free-market name: Adam Smith.  He’s a special forces veteran and a successful small businessman.  He turned out to be one of the real heroes of the Hurricane Helene relief effort.  (You know, the operation Whatley was supposed to be running.)  

Nominating Adam Smith in the 11th congressional district would be a great way to catch the attention of the establishment in DC and Raleigh.

In the US Senate race, DC and Raleigh have been trying to shove Michael Whatley down our throats.  Trump has been hyper-pissed at Thom Tillis.  Yet, his political operation is trying to replace Tillis with Tillis’s protege and preferred successor.  The DC party goons have gone overboard scaring all vendors, consultants, donors, and media away from anyone not named Whatley.  The result of all that?

We’re creeping into the primary election with a self-anointed frontrunner (Whatley) who can’t keep up with presumed Democrat nominee Roy Cooper in terms of fundraising or the polls.  It would have been nice to have been allowed a real primary so we could have an actual candidate *beauty contest.*

Someone slipped up and ran a poll showing Don Brown performing about as well against Cooper as Whatley is.  Brown has not been blessed with fundraising and strategy help from DC and Raleigh like Whatley has.  But he’s hanging right with The Chosen One, St. Michael of Gastonia.

The GOPe has been trying to pretend there is no primary for the Senate seat. A primary might have forced Whatley to have to answer for his sycophant protection of Tillis, and his penchant for screwing MAGA activists at every opportunity.

A great way to stick it to the powers that be in Raleigh and DC would be to have Don Brown too-close-for-comfort or even alone at the top of the heap when the smoke clears on Election Night in March.

In the state Court of Appeals races, there will be only one primary race for Republicans.  Michael Byrne – a conservative outsider – is taking on a member of the GOPe’s handpicked slate. 

You may not have credible challengers to pick from on your ballot.  In those circumstances, feel free to to leave some races blank.  That creates undervotes – vote totals a lot lower than what an incumbent has seen in the past.  That sends a message to an incumbent and may even inspire a potential primary challenger for the next go-round.

Or you could simply fall for the same ol’ crap: “Hey, he /she is better than a Democrat.”  You COULD go ahead and keep reelecting the same ol’ garbage.  And you’ll spend the next two to four years griping about these people YOU VOTED FOR.
