Senior Adviser to Texas Senator Ted Cruz and the architect of Glenn Youngkin’s campaign for Governor, Jeff Roe, was spotted over the weekend hanging out with anti-Trump Republican Paul Ryan, during Glenn Youngkin’s inauguration as the 74th Governor of Virginia.
Youngkin was sworn in on Saturday following a GOP sweep of statewide offices that also saw the Virginia House of Delegates fall back into Republican hands. As a native Virginian running against cosmopolitan Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who has long been derided as a carpetbagger, Youngkin largely won the 2021 Election on the basis of a statewide culture war, riding the wave of a parental uprising against the radical left and their CRT indoctrination, plus the “trans-affirming” bathroom policies of Democrats and the GOP establishment that led to the violent rape of schoolgirls in Loudoun County Public Schools.
His campaign for Governor was run by Jeff Roe and Axiom Strategies, the same firm that ran Ted Cruz’s 2016 campaign for President, which he ultimately lost to 45th President Donald J. Trump. At that year’s GOP convention, with Roe serving as Cruz campaign manager, a hardcore contingent of Cruz backers fought until the bitter end to subvert the will of the voters and replace Trump on top of the party’s ticket.
Cruz has once again drawn the ire of Trump supporters just recently, calling those who demonstrated against election fraud, on January 6th of last year, “terrorists” during a Congressional hearing with the Chief of the U.S. Capitol Police. Cruz hailed Capitol cops as heroes while making his remarks, neglecting to mention the fate of unarmed Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot down by a federal law enforcement officer from the other side of a locked door, during the demonstrations.
Jeff Roe has also been known as a close associate of Paul Ryan and other Wisconsin GOP establishment figures over the years, working in 2012 to help then-Governor Scott Walker beat back a recall campaign funded by big union interests that drew national attention. Walker, like Ryan, later won the admiration of the anti-Trump wing of the GOP, serving alongside Cruz as a vessel for Never Trumpism during his 2016 run for the presidency.
Though he’s no longer in Congress, Paul Ryan has remained plugged into establishment circles and has become increasingly vocal and visible following the 2020 election, joining with other GOP establishment figures, like Liz Cheney, to claim that Joe Biden won a legitimate race, despite mountains of evidence pointing to election fraud, an issue Ryan repeatedly claimed to care about during his time in Congress but failed to ever take meaningful legislative action on, even as Speaker of the House.
“President Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election,” Ryan told a Milwaukee ABC affiliate in 2021, as he began to reappear in corporate media headlines. “It was not rigged. It was not stolen,” Ryan continued. “Donald Trump lost the election. Joe Biden won the election. It’s really clear,” said Ryan, doubling down on his “Trump Lost, Biden Won” mantra.
After taking office, Youngkin followed through with several core campaign promises, signing executive orders to reverse Ralph Northam’s draconian mask and vaccine mandates as well as banning anti-white Critical Race Theory in Virginia schools. He also ordered the Attorney General’s office to investigate the aforementioned Loudoun County Public Schools, where officials engaged in documented cover-ups of child rape.
Despite the promising actions on his first day in office, Youngkin also included a bizarre order to form a commission on combating anti-Semitism in Virginia, echoing left-wing accusations against the GOP that anti-Semitic National Socialists are playing a key role in conservative politics. Like his work with Jeff Roe, some of Youngkin’s early staff hirings, including Never Trump former Bush official Kay Coles James of the open borders Heritage Foundation, have drawn concerns from grassroots, America First conservatives, who say GOP establishment figures, like Paul Ryan, have co-opted Youngkin’s victory and rise to national prominence, hoping to take control of the GOP away from the American people and return the party to its days of elite dominance.

Democrat Super PACs are shelling out millions in an effort to stop Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate Joe Lombardo in Nevada. Democrat donors have contributed to numerous newly registered PACs that have been attacking the Clark County Sheriff.
Lombardo, who recently received a Trump endorsement, leads the GOP primary field by about 20 points, according to a recent poll.
“As Governor, Joe will fiercely Protect our under-siege Second Amendment, Oppose Sanctuary Cities, Support our Law Enforcement, Veto any Liberal Tax Increase, Protect Life, and Secure our Elections,” former President Trump wrote in an endorsement statement. “Joe Lombardo is the leader Nevada needs, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Governor!”

Since Trump announced his endorsement of Joe Lombardo in late April, Democrats have poured millions into newly registered super PACs geared towards attack campaigns. One example would be the “Stronger Nevada” PAC, has pledged to spend $2.1 million on Lombardo down the stretch of the primary campaign.
Stronger Nevada has no social media presence or website but is reportedly linked to the Democrat Governors Association, according to Breitbart News. In addition, the PAC’s staff includes two Democratic party operatives in Andrew Whalen and Jillian Edelman.
Another PAC, “Patriot Freedom Fund”, is run by the husband of progressive Nevada Assemblywoman Sandra Jauregui. Patriot Freedom Fund sends mailers to Nevada Republicans falsely accusing Joe Lombardo of being soft on the Second Amendment, Breitbart News reported.
Both PACs were registered with Nevada’s Secretary of State after the first quarter fundraising deadline, which means their financial information will not be revealed until after the election.
Nevada GOP Chairman Michael J. McDonald condemned state Democrats for using “sleazy, shady stunts to sow chaos in our Republican primary.”
“Truman Fleming is the husband of the biggest advocate for gun control in the legislature,” McDonald said. “If Assemblywoman Jauregui was aware of this attack and gave her husband her blessing, she’s proven to no longer be fit to serve in the legislature.”
Nevada Governor Brian Sisolak, a Democrat, is seeking his second term in November.
The state has voted for the Democratic candidate in presidential elections since 2008, when Barrack Obama flipped the state. That may soon change, however, as Donald Trump leads Joe Biden by 10 in a hypothetical 2020 rematch, according to a recent poll.
Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza plans to use the city’s federal COVID-19 relief funds for racial reparations. On Friday, the mayor signed a spending plan for $124 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding that will pave the way for the city to invest tens of millions of dollars into housing and infrastructure projects. Elorza has not ruled out direct payments for eligible individuals, which would include black Americans, as well as those who can prove Native American heritage.
“As a housing crisis persists across the state, the city is allocating $30.7 million to the issue, $17 million of which will go toward developing affordable units,” reported The Providence Journal. “The remainder of the category will be spent on rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, emergency housing, a home repair program and other initiatives.”
During a news conference on Friday, Esparza said spending decisions were driven by public input sought by the city’s COVID-19 Recovery and Resiliency Task Force, which was commissioned in January.
Addressing housing and homelessness was identified as a top priority by Providence respondents in a survey asking how American Rescue Plan funds should be spent, according to the city government. Input from “residents who participated in community meetings” was also weighed heavily.
Esparza justifies his city’s use of American Rescue Plan funds — which were allocated to states and municipalities by the federal government in order to deal with the economic fallout of pandemic lockdowns — by claiming the money is going to communities that were “hardest hit” by the virus. The “hardest hit” communities, according to the Providence city government, are populated by African Americans.
“We made it a point to go to those hardest hit neighborhoods and hardest hit communities and get an over-representative sample from those folks as well,” the mayor said. “But it still did not change the fundamental reality that regardless of where you are throughout the city, we have the same priorities.”
$10 million of the $124 million spending package will be going towards a racial reparations program in Providence. A committee will decide how exactly the funds will be spent, but the mayor has not ruled out direct payments to eligible recipients.
A 13-member panel has been tasked with examining reparation work being done in other municipalities and creating recommendations for ways the city can distribute the funds. NAACP Providence President Jim Vincent is among those already tapped to serve on the board, Elorza said.
“While we know the city alone cannot repair the full scope of harm, today’s action brings us another step closer to addressing the disparities our African heritage and Indigenous residents continue to face,” the mayor said in a written statement.
The Providence city government commissioned the reparations committee in 2020.
Orange County, California – Huntington Beach jewelry store employees on Sunday repelled smash-and-grab thieves with their own bare fists.
Surveillance footage shows thieves armed with hammers entering Princess Bride Diamonds at the Bella Terra mall at about noon.
The brave employees jumped into action immediately after one of the hooded thieves smashed a display case with a hammer and began punching and kicking the robbers.
Two of the employees are a brother and sister who work for the family business, KTLA 5 reported.
One of the female employees hit a robber over the head with a chair.
The thieves were stunned and eventually forced to retreat.
It is unclear if they took off with any stolen merchandise.
KTLA 5 interviewed the jewelry store employees after the melee.
“At some point while I was fighting them, one of them actually hit me in the head with a hammer, on the side of my left temple, but I didn’t even register it until after they left because there was so much like adrenaline going on,” employee Dallas Baca said.
