Ronna gone. Trump wants his cronies in. I thought she was one.
Republicans are concerned they don't have the money to fight against President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. With Kevin McCarthy out of the Congress, it is hard for the big donors to get on board with former president Donald J. Trump.
I mean these big money donors are giving a millionaire their money to win the presidency. Now I've seen it all!
Ronna Romney McDaniel, the current Republican National Committee chairwoman has announced she will step down after the Super Tuesday primaries.
“Some of my proudest accomplishments include firing Nancy Pelosi, winning the popular vote in 2022, creating an Election Integrity Department, building the committee’s first small dollar grassroots donor program, strengthening our state parties through our Growing Republican Organizations to Win program, expanding the Party through minority outreach at our community centers, and launching Bank Your Vote to get Republicans to commit to voting early," she said.
“I have decided to step aside at our Spring Training on March 8 in Houston to allow our nominee to select a Chair of their choosing," she added. "The RNC has historically undergone change once we have a nominee and it has always been my intention to honor that tradition."
Since McDaniel's 2017 election as chair of the RNC, the Republican Party has had a net loss of eight governorships, four seats in the United States Senate, and 20 seats in the House of Representatives, and the presidency. In December 2022, Axios wrote that McDaniel "has thus far failed to preside over a single positive election cycle."
McDaniel has been known for her prolific fundraising and staunch support for former President Donald Trump as RNC chair. Under her leadership, the RNC ran ads for Trump's 2020 campaign as early as 2018, put numerous Trump campaign workers and affiliates on the RNC payroll, spent considerable funds at Trump-owned properties, covered his legal fees in the Russian interference investigation, hosted Trump's Fake News Awards, and criticized Trump critics within the Republican Party.
After Joe Biden won the 2020 election and Trump refused to concede, McDaniel and the RNC made false claims of voter fraud, and attempted to overturn Biden's victory. In 2022, she orchestrated a censure of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, the two Republicans who served on the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. The censure characterized the violent pro-Trump mob as having engaged in "legitimate political discourse". During its fourth public hearing, the House January 6 Committee presented a video excerpt of a deposition from McDaniel where she revealed that, at the request of Trump and John Eastman, she had the RNC help organize fake electors for the Trump fake electors plot.
On February 26, 2024, she announced her resignation as Chairwoman on advice from Donald Trump following the latter's victory in the 2024 South Carolina Republican presidential primary. Her term is expected to end on March 8.
McDaniel is the granddaughter of George Romney, the Republican moderate governor of Michigan. He would be considered a traitor in today's Republican Party. She is also niece to outgoing Utah senator, 2012 Republican presidential nominee, former Massachusetts governor [Willard] Mitt Romney.
Trump was upset over his loss and Republicans failing to gain in 2020 and 2022.
Trump now wants to appoint cronies into the RNC. McDaniel's decision followed Saturday's South Carolina primary and came less than two weeks after Trump endorsed North Carolina GOP chairman Michael Whatley to be the next chairman of the RNC, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump to be co-chair and top campaign aide Chris LaCivita to be the party’s chief operating officer.
Lara Trump is the wife of Eric Trump. He was ordered to pay nearly $10 million in fines for the state of New York.
McDaniel, 50, was the second woman to lead the RNC. She previously was chair of the Republican Party in Michigan, where she oversaw Trump’s successful 2016 effort in the state.
Trump told Fox News this month that “some changes” were likely at the RNC when he was asked about McDaniel’s performance.
“I think she did great when she ran Michigan for me. I think she did OK initially in the RNC,” Trump said in the interview. “I would say right now there’ll probably be some changes made.”
Scrutiny of McDaniel’s leadership at the RNC ramped up among party activists after the midterm elections in 2022, when Republicans lost several critical Senate and governors’ races. Grassroots activists and conservative influencers upset with McDaniel’s leadership coalesced around Dhillon’s effort to unseat her. But McDaniel offered a show of force ahead of the party’s winter meetings last year, unveiling a list of more than 100 RNC members who backed her for another term, and she easily defeated the challenge.
Criticism of McDaniel’s leadership is focused on her handling of party finances and grassroots efforts. The party’s latest disclosure with the Federal Election Commission showed it was facing a cash crunch, with less than half as much money in the bank as the Democratic National Committee reported at the end of 2023.
Speaking to reporters in Beaufort, South Carolina, last week, Lara Trump was asked whether the RNC would help to pay Trump’s legal bills as he faces prosecution in four jurisdictions across the country.
“Well, I said every penny will go to making sure Donald Trump will be the 47th president, to ensuring that we have great candidates to expand our lead in the House and to take back the Senate," she said, adding about providing funding for his legal expenses, "I actually don’t know where they stand on that."
"Well, I think that his legal bills have already been covered at this point," she said when pressed further.
Media personality Lara Trump wants to be co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Trump will be a crony and will waste GOP donor money.
LaCivita told reporters later in the week that the RNC will not use party funds to cover Trump-related legal expenses.
Calls for change at the RNC ramped up ahead of the party's winter meetings in Las Vegas this month. Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and a co-founder of the right-wing group Turning Point USA who led the charge to oust McDaniel last year, held a nearby conference dubbed the "Restoring National Confidence" summit — a clear shot at the party.
Some saw the focus on McDaniel's performance as a way for conservatives to redirect anger on the right over Trump's recent electoral failings, particularly in the midterms, after he elevated a number of candidates who embraced his false claims about the 2020 election and ended up losing key statewide races in swing states.
Behind closed doors last winter, two RNC members working on the party's internal review of what went wrong during the previous year's elections argued over whether the results had more to do with bad candidates or a lack of financial backing from the RNC. Tyler Bowyer, an RNC committeeman from Arizona who is also a top Turning Point executive and spoke at the group's summit last week, argued it was the money, while Henry Barbour, an RNC committeeman from Mississippi who co-chaired the autopsy effort, argued the losses were because of candidate quality.
Ultimately, two people familiar with the party's thinking told NBC News last year that a final report was unlikely to be made public, though a draft copy was leaked, and it did not mention Trump.
After Trump secured commanding GOP victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, it was time for the party to rally around him as the "eventual nominee," McDaniel told Fox News following the New Hampshire primary.
Days later, a Trump ally and RNC committeeman proposed a resolution to be considered at the party's winter meetings that would declare Trump the party's presumptive nominee. But after pushback, Trump himself called for the resolution to be scrapped.
Trump's rival, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, seized on the short-lived effort, referring to it repeatedly on the trail in South Carolina. She has said it showed the party is "clearly not" an honest broker.
American soldier commits suicide in protest of Israel.
Again, I will offer numbers to facilities to help with suicide, aid to those in Gaza, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and agencies that you can civilly call you elected leaders.
Take warning, images and video can be graphic.
Israel has a propaganda campaign here in the United States. Many of these folks on social media are pushing narratives that favor Israel. They are pushing for people to be fired from their jobs because they dare to criticize Israel and its ongoing illegal war crimes.
They are literally erasing Palestine as we speak.
So as we speak, protests are happening across the world with many world leaders taking hits in their popularity. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) is hoping that a message is sent to President Joe Biden. She wants Arab Americans and Democrats to vote uncommitted to push Biden to favor a permanent ceasefire and an end to aid to Israel.
Several prominent Democrats and a lot of far right Republicans have made slanderous claims that protesters are terrorists and you are anti-semitic if you dare criticize Israel.
Aaron Bushnell, 25 committed suicide in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC.
He set himself on fire while in uniform. The Washington Metropolitan Police and Fire Department have confirmed an incident involving a fire.
Bushnell declaring that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
In just a few minutes Aaron Bushnell exhibited more courage than every member of the IOF combined. Free Palestine. https://t.co/Ei5fO8nOwh
— Victims of Capitalism Memorial Foundation (@karaokecomputer) February 26, 2024
The man walked up to the embassy shortly before 1 p.m. and began livestreaming on the video streaming platform Twitch, the person said. Law enforcement officials believe the man started a livestream, set his phone down and then doused himself in accelerant and ignited the flames. At one point, he said he “will no longer be complicit in genocide,” the person said. The video was later removed from the platform, but law enforcement officials have obtained and reviewed a copy.
The person was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
In a statement, the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington said its officers had responded to the scene outside the Israeli Embassy to assist U.S. Secret Service officers and that its bomb squad had also been called to examine a suspicious vehicle. Police said no hazardous materials were found in the vehicle.
Bushnell sets himself on fire.
The incident happened as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking the cabinet approval for a military operation in the southern Gazan city of Rafah while a temporary cease-fire deal is being negotiated. Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, however, has drawn criticisms, including genocide claims against the Palestinians.
Israel has adamantly denied the genocide allegations and says it is carrying out operations in accordance with international law in the Israel-Hamas war.
Even its official Mossad page remarked in an insulting way towards the man.

What people do in their private lives is their business. However, given that this guy continues to trash one of the world's best rappers, the LGBTQ community, Black women and openly acts racist, it's time to put this to rest. It's time for him to act his age.
He is damn near 60 years old and he's still running like he's a 20 year old. It's time for him to get serious mental health treatment and work on building a bond with his children.
Trust me, I am not like him but I do have issues too but I will never take my frustrations on people who never done things to me. I am a firm believer in the old saying: "They'll need me more than I'll need them."
I am a person who believes karma is the word and not god. There's no acts of god to make a man or woman choose the decisions they make.
Stevie Knight, The Danza Project, Aayan X and Wack 100, has put a hit on the washed up entertainer. And I thought, Eminem done more damage to Raymond Scott.
No, no, no, oh no!
Scott done damage to himself.
1. Scott goes off on Stevie Knight.
Scott calls all Eminem fans "weirdos" because they support his music and his influence in hip-hop.
The Danza Report which has over 300k subscribers got in contact with another podcaster to debate Scott. As expect, Scott got angry, threatened bodily harm, called the debate a coon show, trashed Eminem, claimed that the "hood never plays Em's music" and ranted about his previous days as a successful business mogul. It was the Drink Champs follow up after the rapper was crying and saying he is tired of the Eminem questions and the feud. Yet, days later he's back to the "fuck Eminem" nonsense.
The fact he even did a debate with a reactor like Stevie Knight was shocking at best. Knight who has over 900k subscribers has been very critical of Scott's antics. He said that he's chasing for clout off Em's back and felt that Scott should let it go. Scott did get Knight to admit that Em's racist rap single was bad but Knight stressed that Em rapped not running a Klan meeting. He said that Em's previous encounters with women shouldn't be used against him.
Did Scott like this post?
2. Wack 100 say he gonna get coin once 50, TMZ, The Shade Room and No Jumper get a hold of graphic content featuring Scott.
Wack 100 released his conversation with a former girlfriend of Scott. She told a graphic tale of Scott using cocaine and implanting it inside her anal cavity. She also detailed that he had molested women and girls. He allegedly slept with Stevie J's daughter, Fat Joe's wife, his own niece and fantasized about his own daughter while watching porn. The woman also noted that it wasn't her in the videos Wack 100 have on Scott using a dildo on himself. She did detail that he loves anal sex and enjoys women and transwomen "pegging" him. She said that he has been doing this so much, he defecates on himself whenever he is doing it. He also had threatened to harm himself when she told him that his actions would lead to contracting a sexually transmitted disease. Wack 100 released an image of Scott on the ground with a knife near his neck. The audio released has Scott having a complete meltdown and threatening to end it all because she told him that he need to be open about his sexuality.
Before the debate with Stevie Knight, Scott was on The Danza Report claiming that Em's name was on the client list of Jeffrey Epstein. That could be a slanderous claim knowing that Scott has been baiting Em for a response after the latter released "Doomsday Pt. 2" which dissed Scott.
The allegations of smashing his underage niece, implanting drugs in drinks, blunts and a person without knowledge is rape. He also has been accused of other things that makes me believe he could be a sexual predator. Now all of this is allegations, not fact until a police report accurately details the actions of such.
Please stop.
Shout out to The Evolve, Wack 100, Crypt, Cliff Beats, NoLifeShaq, Aayan X, N.O.R.E., DJ EFN, The Danza Project, 50 Cent and all the podcasters on YouTube. These podcasters are the reasons to why I address the crisis with Scott. It has put a real dent in Coi Leray.
I feel really bad for her. She is trying to get her moment and Scott literally ruining everything she built for herself.

It is part of an ongoing feud that has been going on for over 20 years. It is the only thing memorable about him. Besides the reality series, "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta", Scott was the former co-owner of The Source Magazine and Hip-Hop Weekly.
He started a feud with Em to promote his album in 2002. Scott accused Em of being a "culture vulture" and a "Rap Elvis." Eminem is white and probably the most successful rappers because of his rhyming skills, not his race. Em released two devastating disses at Scott and ruined his rap career.
Scott in turn, used The Source Magazine as a weapon to trash Em. He tried to brand Em a racist after he made a demo tape dissing a Black woman. The song was blocked by Em and Scott ignored the injunction and released the single in full. Em sued the magazine and its founder Dave Mays, a white business executive and Scott's rap manager at the time. The Source ended up wasting all its money and going into bankruptcy. The magazine executives fired Mays and Scott after the feud. Mays ended up doing other ventures and Scott ended up going broke. Mays helped Scott get on reality television with Stevie J. He ended up ruining that and as of today, Scott has struggled.

I am certain that Scott will be talking about this feud for months. To this day, Scott blames Em, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Angie Martinez, Funkmaster Flex, Julia Beverly, Kim Osorio, Mr. Gzuz, Coi Leray, Real World Police, Althea Hart, Stevie J, Joseline Hernández, Mona Scott, NoLifeShaq, The Evolve, Crypt, Knox Hill, Stevie Knight, JayBlac, DJ Vlad, Busta Rhymes, Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones III, DJ Mister Cee, Star, Angela Yee, Wendy Williams and even his old friend Dave Mays for his fucked up situations.
Scott said that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. He said Em's music is trailer trash and his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.
Tell me:
Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song (other than the most recent disses)?
Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?
