Amid widespread reports of Election Day irregularities suppressing Republican votes in Maricopa County, Ariz., Republican elected officials in the county have been brushing off concerns of their fellow party members with a mixture of anger and condescension.
Marred by hundreds of complaints, including malfunctioning machines and prohibitively long lines to vote, the county’s handling of the 2022 midterm elections is now under investigation by the Arizona attorney general’s election integrity unit for possible “statutory violations” of state election law.
The probe was announced in a letter Saturday from Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright to Tom Liddy, civil division chief of the county attorney’s office.
On Friday, the day before the investigation was launched, GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake’s campaign Twitter account shared a video posted by former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis in which Liddy — a Republican and the son of G. Gordon Liddy of Watergate fame — cursed out a campaign volunteer over the phone for asking about how many voters’ ballots were canceled on Election Day. The volunteer said he wanted to be able to communicate that Liddy gave him correct information so disinformation wouldn’t be spread, but Liddy became defensive, inferring that the volunteer was insinuating that Liddy was spreading disinformation.
“Let me educate you: I cannot control what you say, okay?” Liddy responded. “You can say whatever you want to say. I can’t control it. Now, if you’re not happy working with me, if you don’t want to continue working with me and you don’t want me to answer your questions, then we’ll just stop. I don’t give a sh*t.”
“No, Tom, that’s the opposite of what I’m saying,” the volunteer replied. “I want to work with you. I want to get the right information. I don’t want disinformation out of there. That is what I’m looking for.”

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
