Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey Vetoes Election Integrity Bill Passed By Arizona Legislature

There’s a particular trend pattern to identify DeceptiCons in the Republican party.  The Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey, is one easily identifiable member of that club.

The DeceptiCons support leftist goals and objectives; they are paid handsomely for their duplicity to support them; but they hide their support through parliamentarian tricks (cloture votes) and obtuse justification.  Cue the demonstration:

The Arizona GOP (party process) is almost as politically corrupt as the Virginia GOP.  However, the difference is the current legislative branch is still representing the majority of Arizona voters…. (whereas the Virginia GOP has been consumed by corruption and now pass club rules to protect themselves).

The republican legislature sends Ducey a bill to create stronger election integrity and a bill to block the indoctrination of Critical Race Theory in the classroom,… but the Governor arbitrarily says that’s not their jobs, focus on other stuff…. or else.  Think about the scale of hubris at work there.

The same governor who kicked Mike Lindell out of the RGA conference in Tennessee last week also vetoed 22 legislative bills.  Here’s the list:

HB 2554 — Requires that those chosen by parties to represent them at polling places be registered to vote in Arizona.

HB 2792 — Prohibits the delivery of early ballots to anyone who has not specifically requested one.

SB 1074 — Bans requiring public employees to have to participate in “critical race theory’’ training.

SB 1022 — Renames references in law from “product of human conception’’ to ‘’unborn child.’’

SB 1030 — Makes various changes to the practices and procedures of the Psychiatric Security Review Board, which has jurisdiction of people found “guilty except insane.’’

SB 1119 — Requires the attorney general to review the constitutionality of any executive orders by the president.

SB 1121 — Imposes new requirements for the the security, packaging and labeling of marijuana.

SB 1127 — Allows motorists to travel faster on some state highways without facing criminal charges.

SB 1135 — Increases the deduction available on individual income taxes for putting money into 529 college savings programs.

SB 1176 — Creates a “produce incentive program” to encourage purchase of Arizona-grown crops by people using food stamps.

SB 1215 — Exempts some liquor sales from certain labeling requirements.

SB 1408 — Mandates research on the correlation between marijuana use and mental illness.

SB 1514 — Requires the Department of Housing to provide emergency shelter beds in western Maricopa County for homeless seniors who are at least 55 years old.

SB 1526 — Allows a prisoner to receive a certificate after completing a training program to work in a field or trade and ensures female prisoners get feminine hygiene products without being charged.

SB 1635 — Makes numerous technical corrections to laws already enacted.

SB 1716 — Establishes the Joint Legislative Psychiatric Hospital Review Council and requires a surveillance system at the Arizona State Hospital.

HB 2001 — Creates a retroactive income tax credit for part of the value of land donated for a site for a traditional public or charter school.

HB 2070 — Provides for the release of original birth certificates that were sealed due to an adoption.

HB 2296 — Requires the Department of Transportation to suspend rather than revoke someone’s driving privileges after a second conviction of reckless driving, aggressive driving or racing.

HB 2303 — Mandates the health department to conduct proficiency testing of independent laboratories that test marijuana.

HB 2414 — Authorizes the health department to inspect any medical marijuana dispensary during normal business hours.

HB 2674 — Permits some people who were convicted of sex offenses to eliminate the need for them to register.

The DeceptiCon wing of the party feels emboldened by the lack of the MAGA contingent to push back forcefully against them. There are times when it becomes necessary to separate from bad people and unfortunately the Republican party does not seem capable of getting rid of the conniving corrupt internal elements.

Remember, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was blocked from entry into the Republican Governors Association (RGA) in Tennessee. because members of the RGA were concerned that Lindell would confront them over their election fraud inaction.  Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is the Chairman of the RGA.

As we have all witnessed in the era of “Trump the outsider”, this DeceptiCon club has many tentacles. The DeceptiCon network is embedded deep inside the institution of the RNC, which is now chaired by Mitt Romney’s niece Ronna McDaniel. Essentially you can look at Ronna McDaniel’s curriculum vitae as a roadmap to the underlying agenda.

The larger goal of the current RNC network is to retain the club priority in similar fashion to what the Virginia GOP looks like. Those who control the republican party in Virginia are purists in the establishment GOP outlook. Pontificating Wall Street types, globalists in the form of UniParty members, who work openly to eliminate the threat of a true conservative base. The Virginia GOP will change any rule, undermine any candidate and intentionally lose elections (if needed) in order to retain the DeceptiCon agenda.

The outlook amid these cocktail class republicans toward the MAGA movement is identical as their former outlook toward the Tea Party. They view populism and ‘America First’ as a threat to their ideological goals and globalist objectives. This outlook is now being reinforced in several states by the party apparatus (see what happened to Mike Lindell). Ronna McDaniel facilitates the DeceptiCon club directly, indirectly and through a process of willful blindness.

The fight continues…

Then we have the Maga folks which are the smartest, truest folks connected to the constitutional principles. At least in my town, the people fall into one of the groups.

To our misery and misfortune, Ducey is a typical “Republican” governor. DeSantis is an exception.

I’d love to see the magic formula that drains the Republican swamp because voting harder won’t work against the RINO infrastructure. You can pick off individuals here and there but once a party goes corrupt, it is like fighting fully metastasized cancer.

A RINO is worse than a Democrat because they are the traitors within. A split party at least decides who controls the party once and for all. The voters or the con men who hold all the party machinery. Doing nothing is the playbook of the last 40 years. How has that worked out for conservatives?

RINOs are parasites representing 10% or less of the voting base and controlling 90% of the elected officials and all the party machinery. That is fundamentally wrong and must not be tolerated by anyone.

A full out war where conservatives either take control or leave consigns RINOs to the ash heap. By themselves, RINOs are simply a demographically insignificant fringe of leftists who are unable to compete against other leftist factions within the Democrat party.

Ducey won his primary with 37% of the vote in 2014 and was endorsed by Goldwater, Kyle and Hugh Hewitt. I assume he has some sort of connection to the McCain family. No doubt he has no further ambitions since Trump exposed him. Anyway, the way stop guys like him is two fold (1) rally behind ONE Good candidate in a primary. Stop spreading your votes – this allows the Decipticons to win with 37%. (2) Stop showing party loyalty to those who have none. Stop voting RINO in the General. Voting for them, when they won’t support us, isn’t “Noble” or “Looking at the a big picture”, its just dumb!

Agreed. That 37% he won is also based on the RINO’s main source of strength: the bald faced lie. If he had honestly stated his real ideology, he would have won less than 10%.

We need a pre-primary primary where a single conservative candidate can be selected and vetted before the main primary. This alone will kill off the RINO splitter strategy but they will still employ the sabotage/media collusion ploys. A vetting system should also help in that area to pre-empt that technique.

This is doable. But it isn’t being done. If the big conservatives website step up and perform this function, it would make someone like me think there is a real chance to fix the GOP. Otherwise, it is a lost cause.

Prior to the 2020 election, I posted on my intention to withhold my vote, from any RINO; I said I would NOT be voting for McSally.

Many here lambasted me, saying by withholding my vote, I was “giving” the Senate, to the Dems.

I argued that just cause a dogshit sandwich isn’t quite as odiforous as a catshit sandwich, doesn’t mean I would eat one.

Until Republican voters ALL vow to NOT vote for a Rino, AND get involved at the precinct level, and STAY involved even after they purge their State party of traitorous Decepticons, nothing will change.

SEEMS like the same mentality that tried to urge me to vote for McSally and Doozy Ducey, argue that reforming the Republican party from within is possible, and walkingaway to form our own America First party is a mistake,…I’m just not sure.

Makes one wonder if America would be better off, if we had really had an insurrection on Jan 6th,..and such hypothetical speculation probably gets/keep me on someones radar,. .

The constitution and State law clearly lay out the rules for political parties and we the people feature centrally. The fact is we the people did not perform our responsibility in keeping the Republic as one of our founders told a citizen. We were content to leave politics to others and are now shocked to discover that both parties, our State and the Federal Government are almost totally infiltrated by marxists, criminals, frauds, liars and corrupt grifters. Every day we discover new atrocities and by now the layers of shock have created cynicism in many patriots. The fact remains, there is only one way to solve these problems and restore the Republic. Every single one of us must get off our butts and get involved in party politics at precinct and county level. For us with the GOP. If you aren’t a member join the party. Then get involved, better still volunteer to be a precinct official. Not only will this influx of MAGA patriots put RINO’s and traitors on notice, at the soonest possible opportunity they can be voted out. In a very short period we the people can clean out the GOP root and branch precinct by precinct. This is the only way to restore the Republic. Get involved and do your part.

If memory serves, Sundance wrote a piece a few months back despairing of ever rehabilitating the GOP and instead, abandoning the party and starting a new one. Many on the right–in good faith and who are trusted–argued against that approach, insisting that the party can be taken over by America First populists.

While I respect their opinion, I say they are dead wrong. I agree with Sundance–the GOP cannot be reformed or taken over.

Tea Party leaders tried that and they were either co-opted by Decepticon RINOs, or sabotaged from achieving leadership positions. The RNC cannot and will be reformed–it is too hidebound and fossilized. The GOP must be abandoned and its members ostracized from joining and / or infiltrating the political party that replaces it.

The GOP must go the way of the Whigs, and its members (or at least most of them) must carry the stigma of traitors and never trusted again.

I agree with Maximus-Cassius. However, without Trump behind the new party, I don’t think it will succeed.

And furthermore, I really think the damage to our government as a whole is too great to repair as long as marxists and globalists are so embedded. Therefore, I think there should be a movement for “free” states to declare the current government has abrogated the pact made by the people under the Constitution. I am not calling this move secession because there is no longer a valid union to withdraw from.

“I don’t know where we’re going to end up at the end of the day, but a lot of members are taking vacations and thinking their personal time is more valuable, and that’s everybody’s personal feelings and they have to make the decision sometimes on whether or not being a legislator and being here at the Capitol is more important than getting that done,” Cobb said. “Our only job we have to do, that one job to do is passing that budget, and if we can’t get that done, we’re not doing our job.”

Republican leadership teams in the House and Senate could not be immediately reached, including Senate President Karen Fann who is supposedly on vacation in Hawaii.

Difficult to say on this particular issue, Sigh.

Representative Cobb seemed to be siding with the Govenor. The Legislature was at an impasse on the budget. Obviously, she knew that.

What Rep. Cobb didn’t say, and imho, would have had a more positive impact, would have been a appeal for both sides to come together for the good of Arizona; instead of making it… PERSONAL.

But, what do I know.

Boy, Sundance has the finger on the pulse of the Virginia GOP. It has been ongoing for many years. It got worse under Bob McDonnell. McDonnell’s head swelled at his success in the State and lost focus. The Dems exploited the rift between the MAGA types and the RINOs and took advantage of it. They moved into Power and installed Dominion machines in certain areas in the state. They also perfected cheating and the state has gone off the rails.

Lawmakers failed to pass a budget this week after introducing 11 budget bills in each chamber on May 24, and after not being able to negotiate to receive the minimum of 16 and 31 votes in the House and Senate, respectively, legislators opted to take two weeks off to come back on June 10 unless they have a reason to come back earlier.

Imho, InAz, This is a politicsl game of “Chicken”.

The Ducey “Team” wants something without the publicity of a “Stalemate on State Budget” media frenzy; nor any specific public statements BY Ducey, as to what that might be.

Ducey is demanding a budget.

Ducey HAS legislation in front of him.

The passing of the budget does not hinge on the signing of legislation already approved and submitted for signature because “The Legislature” is divided on the budget.

Imho, the “Divided” part could be restated as follows…

Ducey is not getting what he wants.

In a perfect world…

The signing of the legislation has no more effect on the budget impasse than does the vetoing of it.

Unless…

Ducey WANTS SOMETHING!!

It’s well past the time for patriots to take action to restore the crumbling Republic and to see off the corrupt traitors currently leading us. There is one way for us to do this. It is to get involved to take back the GOP precinct by precinct. I urge everyone to go to the site below and read the step by step of how to do it. Do you know this site has been around since 2006 or something. Imagine how much more effective Trump would’ve been with MAGA inclined patriots involved as precinct level GOP officials!

Please, I urge all patriots to give this site a visit (Steve Bannon interviewed the guy behind this site some months ago).

Another example of a RINO’s oppinion of our intelligence. That may be the worst excuse to veto a bill I have ever heard. The bill was already done, just needed signed. This will take MORE TIME now to debate for a possible override. These guys really believe they can throw anything out there and we will swallow it. Not even enough respect to take the time to come up with a lie that would convince a few.

But it’s not that simple that he can just undo a veto. The lawmakers have three options now: they can let these bills die and bring them back in a future session, they can override the veto with two-thirds support in both chambers (which hasn’t happened under Ducey’s tenure), or they would have to re-introduce the bills – likely as striker amendments – and vote on them again.  

(snip)

Ducey’s 2018 veto message was much more to the point.  

“Please, send me a budget that gives teachers a 20 percent raise by 2020 and restores additional assistance. Our teachers have earned this raise. It’s time to get it done,” he said at the time.

Never bargain with a Democrat/RINO.

They will insist their demands are met first.

Your demands will be considered (or not) afterwards.

Condider President Reagan…

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelli Ward has made the point several times: President Ronald Reagan’s “biggest regret” was granting amnesty as part of 1986 immigration-reform legislation and then counting on Congress to secure the border, which never happened.

Did Ronald Reagan regret 1986 immigrant ‘amnesty’ law?

Ward, a former state senator from Lake Havasu City, and her campaign attribute the claim to Ed Rollins, who served in the White House as an aide to Reagan and who was national director of Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign.

And third, he views self-rule by the People as a mere disposable tic instead of the absolutely indispensable basis of our system. That makes him a tyrant, even if he has good table manners and wears nice suits.

The same day that the AZ senate was entertaining and being briefed via Rudy Giuliani in a 10 hour presentation on the voter fraud that had occurred, Ducey certified the Nov. 3 election results without a care or any interest.

We conservative Trump supporters have been arguing about this issue for a long time- namely, whether our President should have started another party or continue to try to reform the existing GOP.

There have probably been thousands of comments in these pages on that topic and it is always a hot button issue.

After the theft of the Nov. election, the debate got even hotter and so it continues. Based on my own experience working in local and state politics, I never thought it was remotely possible for our President Trump to set up a new party in all 50 states, and all that entails, plus run candidates for all the various offices and be successful in time for the 2022 and 2024 elections. There is just no way it could be done. None.

So President Trump did what he must have felt was his and our best shot- purge and reform the existing GOP, primary the bad guys and of course, most important, work to fix the fake election system.

There were no good choices in this situation. Anyone who says that we could have started a new party and been successful has no idea what they are talking about. Every day we see that our President is getting more active. He had another interview on Newsmax that I am trying to find.

Every day that passes brings more misery and suffering to the people of our country because of the Bidenistas. You think people don’t notice how much they are paying for gas and food? It’s clear what the problem is. and it isn’t President Trump.

Ronna McDaniel facilitates the DeceptiCon club directly, indirectly and through a process of willful blindness.

Yet, President Trump endorsed Ms. McDaniel for another term at the RNC helm.

Pres. Trump “likes” Ronna McDaniel and says he likes Fauci, too! Only recently has Trump started to mildly criticize Fauci by saying he didn’t always take his advice. Fauci has single-handedly done more damage to America than any other individual. Trump should have put aside his fondness for the man. Trump should have done a risk analysis and weighed the costs of Fauci policies on masking up, shutting down the economy and pushing a vaccine that only had Emergency Use Authorization. Granted, Trump had no control over what individual Governors decided to do to their states but Trump had the bully pulpit and should have spoken out more forcefully, IMO.

Now the only question is if it is too late to turn the USS Titanic around… have we actually hit the iceberg or is there still a possibility we can steer away from it before any more damage is done? I am praying it is the latter but know that God is still in charge either way!

On Oct. 27, 1964, in front of the Republican National Convention, and several years before becoming president, Ronald Reagan delivered his famous Freedom Speech; in which he wisely said…

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.

Sadly, the end of the generation Reagan warned us about is nigh; and now, we’ll be blessed far more than we deserve if we can manage to avoid finding ourselves “spend[ing] our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

The time we have left to successfully fight for and protect our freedom in order to pass it on to our children can no longer be measured in terms of generations. What happens between now and November of 2024 will determine whether we become slaves or remain free.
