Secretary Rubio Remarks to the Press

By David Arnett

In a press gaggle Sunday July 19, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio was leaving the final World Cup game between Spain and Argentina, he spoke first of sports then further on current issues from China to Iran to Venezuela.

QUESTION:  Have you converted to football? 

SECRETARY RUBIO:  Oh, I’ve always been a fan of it.  I’m an admirer.  It’s a global sport.  Look, first of all, I’m very – and congratulations, obviously, to Spain.  We had time today to spend with both the president and His Majesty the King and Queen.  I have a lot of friends from Argentina, so obviously sad for them.  But I am very proud of America.  I think America did a phenomenal job hosting the games.  So did Canada and Mexico.  And I hope a lot of people who got to come here and visit got to see aspects of our country that I think sometimes we take for granted – things about our nation that are so special that sometimes I think those of us who have lived here our whole lives maybe forget or take for granted.

So I was on the phone on the way up here wondering when the – when’s the next one we can bid on is, because it was such a spectacular event for the country.  And so I’m very happy about it.

QUESTION:  Secretary, last week the President talked about China’s meddling in the 2020 U.S. election.  Is the visit by President Xi Jinping that he had mentioned around September 24th, is that still on track?  And is the strategic stability relationship between the U.S. and China, the trade (inaudible), are those things still on track despite this evidence that the President has mentioned?

Advancing Budget Resolution

By Josh Brecheen, Member of Congress

On Thursday, I voted to advance the Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2027 as the best option to ensure the SAVE America Act will be passed in full, not just in part. While there were elements in the package many of us sought spending offsets for (still seeking to be accomplished in another measure), this package is designed with the U.S. Senate in mind. The SAVE America Act is essential and I have concluded this measure puts maximum pressure on the Senate to finally take up the SAVE America Act after declining to do so for months.

If the SAVE America Act comes back to the House watered down by the Senate, the American people will become rightfully disillusioned.  All eyes are on the Senate to ensure President Trump is able to deliver on what he has rightfully signaled as policy priority number one!!

President Trump Brings Receipts

By David Arnett

While Legacy Media local and national continue to ignore the obvious election fraud, President Donald J. Trump provided the receipts Thursday in a national speech many networks did not carry in full. That is how badly they are compromised. Ballot fraud occurs and not just in corrupt states like California, New York, and Michigan. Yes, the 2020 election was stolen, and admitting the problem is the beginning of returning credibility to the system and confidence to the American Citizens.

Friday the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent letters to the secretaries of state in four states warning them about tens of thousands of non-citizens who are illegally on the states’ voter rolls. Secretary Mullin sent letters to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, New Jersey Secretary of State Dale Caldwell, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, and Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt.

“Election security is national security,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “As President Trump announced last night, DHS has identified over 250,000 potential non-citizens illegally registered to vote in just 4 U.S. states. Only Americans should be electing American leaders.”
