Arizona BS Artist Laurie Roberts

An example of the media's hatred of the America First populist movement...

Prescott, AZ May 28, 2024… It is an interesting thing for Laurie Roberts OPINION writer for the Arizona Republic (called the repugnant by many former subscribers), to opine on Jan Brewer, former Arizona Governor, backing at least one Maricopa County government elected who knowingly held an election that was not just suspect, but in violation of several criminal statutes under election law, A.R.S. § Title 16, therefore irredeemably compromised. But Roberts won’t go near the facts presented to the Supreme Court of the United States providing proof that the election was illegitimate by all measures. And of course, don’t expect the beneficiary of the illegitimate election one Kris Mayes (Attorney General) to prosecute the crimes, that would out the people who put her in office, and that is not the People of Arizona that I speak of.

In her piece, published on May 15, 2024, the bullshit artist goes on to encourage Governors Fife “marijuana dispensary guy” Symington, and Doug “Trump call blocker” Ducey to do the same.

Maybe it’s good that optics no longer matter. We can see people for who they really are. It appears the power brokers have everyone in place to complete the coverup of the biggest racketeering case in the history of Maricopa County, and perhaps the State of Arizona. Instead of being a journalist, which takes work, Roberts takes her radical hard-left America First policy hatred in a different direction. She writes, “[o]ne of the Arizona Republican Party’s best-known conservatives is standing up to the hard right that already controls the state Legislature and now has set its sights on controlling the state’s largest county.”

Opinion: Former GOP Gov. Jan Brewer is taking a stand to try to prevent a MAGA takeover of Maricopa County. Former Govs. Fife Symington and Doug Ducey should join her.¹

Could it be that it’s likely Brewer is stepping in to help candidates that are at risk for reelection because of their failure to follow election laws, and the carefully built team of placed individuals who control future elections in Maricopa County is at risk of being dismantled?

Roberts doesn’t see the buried lead here, the people she maligns are not “hard-right” boogie men that Democrats always turn to as the enemy of the collective. They are Republicans who proudly stand on a platform that is well thought out and seeks to protect everyone’s civil rights. Frankly, they’re angry over being sold out by County Supervisors Sellers, Gates, Hickman, Galvin, Recorder Stephen “lie to get elected” Richer, and Elections Director Scott “the perjurer” Jarett. They’re angry over disenfranchisement by the very people they put in place to protect the sanctity of their franchise.

What’s behind the America First vitriol?

Roberts, an election fraud denier, writes, “Brewer has endorsed at least four Republican county incumbents marked for removal by the America First crowd, convinced as they are that the Republican-run county sabotaged the last couple of elections in a devious plot to put Democrats in office.” Perhaps she misses the fact that there are very powerful, very wealthy “republicans” who do prefer Democrats in office, especially when their skulduggery is about to be found out. The real test of whether her OpEd’s matter, will be when she calls on the Arizona Attorney General to prosecute election law crimes committed by the Maricopa gangsters. Roberts also misses the fact that the Populist movement has grown much larger and much stronger than its precursor, the TEA (taxed enough already) Party. This is true not just on the local stage in Arizona, but the national stage as well.

Optics do indeed matter. While it is an honor to attend any inauguration of a President, it is especially poignant that Sen. Jeff Flake (R) who many view as a failure, Cindy McCain who is anything but a conservative, and Gov. Doug Ducey (R) who blocked a call from President Trump on November 30, 2020, as he was signing the certification of the irredeemably flawed election that should not have been certified pending a forensic audit. What do the optics say about this? Well, the photo caught the attention of a significant majority of Republicans around Arizona. It was a major factor in the censure of all three by the State GOP², why? There is a theme that runs deep here. And don’t think just Maricopa County residents had issues, rural Arizona was outraged, I remember taking action on the pleas of my constituents to hold an inquest.

The emergence of the “America First policy crowd”, as Roberts so dismissively and arrogantly ridicules, is in every way a response by a populist majority that has grown unhappy with the shinanigans they witness on a daily basis in one of the nations largest counties. It is a shift from watching the government to driving the government, and that makes the powerful very nervous.

Is hatred of America First a proxy for hatred of Donald Trump?

The clash of worldviews related to priorities is clear. The two are mutually exclusive. The America First Policy crowd and the Any Other Nation First Policy crowd. The word salad of people groups used by nattering nabobs like Roberts, to vilify people who care about their country is a PSYOP (psychological operation) element. Saul Alinsky would be proud, take what is revered, and vilify it.

MAGA… Make America Great Again. How does that get twisted to mean “enemy of the people”? That’s a great question, it’s hard unless a person has been conditioned to believe everything they are told is true, no matter what they may think at an individual level.

AFP… America First Policy. As opposed to making America less than first? Cognitive dissonance is at an epidemic level and promoted by such yellow journalists as Roberts.

So far not one leftist can tell me specifically why they hate Donald Trump, his millions of supporters, and his policies. Is it that they are trapped in a death-worshiping cult?
