Keeping large Texas County red

 Daily Caller:

A new non-profit Texas PAC started by a conservative mobile company was formed in January 2022 with the purpose of keeping Republicans in control of Tarrant County, and after less than a year, they are claiming victory.

Patriot Mobile, which touts itself as being “America’s only Christian conservative wireless service provider,” formed Patriot Mobile Action (PMA) “to go on the offensive to save Tarrant County” from turning blue, the Texas PAC’s website stated.

Over the past several election cycles, the Democratic Party has attempted to chip away at the red wall Republicans built in the South. Texas was on the top of a list of states the party wanted to flip. Despite recent high-profile Democratic party wins, PMA felt with enough support, Republicans could reverse the momentum, according to Leigh Wambsganss, vice president of government and public affairs with Patriot Mobile and the executive director of PMA.

Wambsganss told the Daily Caller that the Texas non-profit was launched in Tarrant County to stop Democrats from taking more ground, starting first with school board races. (RELATED: Republicans Need To Wake Up And Play A Different Game, Or They’re Bound To Lose)

Tarrant County is one of the largest Republican counties in the U.S., but after the 2016 election, when former President Donald Trump won the county by 9 points, it began trending blue. After Trump’s win, GOP candidates, including Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in 2018 and Trump in 2020, struggled to beat Democrats.

“PMA’s first victory was winning 11 of 11 Tarrant County school board races, securing conservative majorities in four school districts, impacting over 100,000 north Texas students,” the Texas PAC’s website stated.

Wambsganss said PMA used a $500,000 donation from Patriot Mobile to support the 11 school board candidates for Texas’ May 7 elections and that these races would begin a trend of Republican gains. “Patriot Mobile Action needed to go on the offensive to save Tarrant County,” according to the company’s website. “With 40 electoral votes, if Texas turns blue, there could be no Republican president in 2024.”

PMA also sent hundreds of thousands of mailers and digital messages to Tarrant County voters, according to the Texas PAC’s website. Wambsganss said PMA endorsed 54 candidates running for state, county, and local races spending around $800,000 between May and November on electing conservative candidates.

Wambsganss told the Daily Caller that when people asked why the PAC focused on Tarrant County, she pointed to its massive size. “2.3 million people live in Tarrant County. It’s a larger campaign from a population perspective than 15 states, so it’s a huge first undertaking,” Wambsganss stated.
...

By focusing on school board elections PMA did for conservatives what Soros did for liberals by supporting people in prosecutor races.  It is a move that has spread to other districts as part of the parents' rebellion against the woke agenda of many schools.  It also will make it likely that the kids in these schools will not be indoctrinated with the evils of liberalism.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
