(Screenshot/NTD Television) A Phoenix federal judge on Friday refused Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward ’s request to put on hold her own previously issued court order that allowed the Jan. 6 Committee to access the Republican leader’s phone records.
Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Diane J. Humetewa, an Obama appointee, dismissed Ward’s lawsuit which argued that handing over her phone records to the House Jan. 6 Committee would violate medical privacy laws and infringe on her constitutional rights.
In her ruling , Humetewa concluded that the phone records “may aid” the committee’s investigation. Ward decided to appeal the decision and her attorney requested the court to temporarily block the subpoena issued by the Jan. 6 Committee while the appeal is pending.
On Oct. 7, Humetewa refused the request, noting that the appeals court will only get to the case after the Jan. 6 committee is scheduled to dissolve on Jan. 3, 2023. Humetewa said that she found Ward’s alleged concerns “speculative” and “dubious,” according to the Associated Press .
During a hearing, Ward’s lawyers stated that their client had written a book about sending an alternate slate of presidential electors to Congress and also filmed several videos of her actions, uploading them on YouTube.
“These actions belie Ms. Ward’s concern that her communications with her constituents or colleagues will be chilled by [the phone company’s] possible disclosure of who she spoke with during that time,” the Judge wrote.
The Jan. 6 committee is seeking phone records of Ward and her husband for the three months leading up to January 2021. On Jan. 25, 2022, T-Mobile informed Ward’s medical practice that the committee […]

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!
