 In the battle between Rinos and Conservatives for the soul of the GOP, Arizona has become the tipping point of that war, as the Arizona GOP machine, controlled by the Rino wing of the party, utilizes illegal tactics and other nefarious political moves to aggressively attack the conservatives of Arizona, to prevent them from unseeding their unethical hold on the AZ GOP.

We hav e been following the attempts by the Rinos of Arizona to shut down Sherrif Arpaio of Mericopa County through the shakedown attempts of the Rino goon patrol, the county supervisors who have used their offices to bring frivilous charges against the defenders of Sherrif Arpaio.  These Rinos are de facto troopers for the Obamarx marchine.

One such example is the Executive Drirector of the AZ GOP, Bret Medum, who has used his office to attack personal and political enemies, most recently using his access to private voter information to stalk a woman at her home, in an apparent effort to intimidate her.

From the Article- The executive director of the Arizona Republican Party is accused of using voter registration information from the GOP’s online database to find a woman’s address and crash a party at her house in an affidavit dated last month, filed with the sheriff’s office and obtained by Yellow Sheet. But Brett Mecum, the subject of the complaint, denies the accusations, calling them “politics at the lowest level.” In the document (viewable under the “documents” section on yellowsheetreport.com), the woman who filed it claims Mecum arrived uninvited at her home for an Aug. 29 party. “I was shocked to see him show up at my party,” writes the woman, whose name is redacted in the document that Yellow Sheet obtained.  ”He had never been to my house, and I had never told him where I lived. I asked him how he found my address, and he responded, ‘I looked it up on Voter Vault. I called a staffer to look it up for me there.’” State law (ARS 16-168) says voter registration lists can be accessed or reproduced by the voter, authorized government officials, for signature verification on petition and candidate filings, for election purposes and for news gathering purposes. Violation of the statute is a class 6 felony. To access Voter Vault information, the state party requires users to accept an agreement stating that they are using the information for political purposes authorized by the party. Lt. Brian Lee, a spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, confirmed the complaint has been filed. “We have received the complaint and we are looking into it,” he said.

Mecum said accusations that he improperly or illegally used information from Voter Vault are “completely inaccurate.” “This is completely bogus. … At the end of the day, I will be exonerated in all of this,” Mecum told our reporter. “This happens a lot in politics unfortunately. When you have a high profile job like mine you sometimes make some enemies.”

The woman also wrote in the affidavit that Mecum did not threaten or intimidate her to prevent her from reporting the incident, but “he alluded to the power, connections and authority he has as a result of his position. I have seen what malicious things he has done to others and do not want to be subjected to similar retaliatory actions.” She wrote that she is “very upset that someone in his high-level position of authority in the Republican Party is able to use voter registration information to stalk women.”

From the SF examiner, a bit of a jolt to the sense of well-being in the economy from Ralph Benko

“The federal government currently pays…..$202 billion a year in interest. The White House estimates that interest payments will rise to $700 billion per year in 2019….Out of the $3.1 trillion federal budget, $1.89 trillion is considered “mandatory spending.”……Leaving $1.2 trillion. If one subtracts the budget of the Defense Department, which is $515 billion …. the rest of the money the government currently spends is $686 billion a year..”

Commentary:  Ralph Benko has pointed out in as nice a way as possible (bearers of bad tidings tend to get treated badly, so Benko is walking a fine line here) that the remaining dollars for the 2019 budget are projected to be less than the extra amount of cost added by the rising interest rates on US debt that are inevitable.

If that doesn’t make you choke on your coffee, nothing will, and if the mainstream media doesn’t pick up on this alarming statistic, then the news media itself has to be jettisoned along with the excessive overspending of the past few spend and tax regimes that has swept through America like Communists through a third world country.
