Marsha Blackburn struggling to connect with establishment GOP donors in Tennessee
Rep. Marsha Blackburn is meeting resistance from wealthy Republican donors in Tennessee, an establishment-oriented crowd more comfortable with former Gov. Phil Bredesen, the conservative firebrand’s Democratic opponent in the state’s competitive, closely watched Senate race.
Republican financiers, titans of industry in Tennessee, are still gloomy about the retirement of Sen. Bob Corker, a conservative pragmatist. Many are sitting on their wallets as the crucial, 100-day mark to the midterm elections approaches. After a lifetime raising millions of dollars for GOP causes and candidates, some are even donating to Bredesen, whom they view as a centrist who will buck Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
“He’s been somebody who is not partisan who gets things done. That appeals to me and to many other Republicans. We want somebody who is not an ideologue and not going to be partisan,” Tom Cigarran, a veteran GOP donor in Nashville, told the Washington Examiner Friday in a telephone interview. “Marsha Blackburn just isn’t that. She does not have a record of doing anything other than being a partisan ideologue.”
Cigarran, a retired healthcare executive, is chairman of the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League.
He and members of his family donated to Corker’s re-election bid last year, before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman announced that he would retire in January after two terms. But this year, they contributed to Bredesen, 74, also the former mayor of Nashville, after Corker — who briefly reconsidered running for re-election — made a final decision to leave Congress.
Blackburn is raising money at a healthy clip. The congresswoman has the strong support of the kind of grassroots voter that is drawn to her Tea Party brand of conservative politics and is increasingly influential in statewide elections. And President Trump, who is popular in Tennessee, is in her corner.
Trump in May traveled to the state to headline a fundraiser for Blackburn’s campaign, and Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to do the same later this month. Pence is headed to Chattanooga, where Corker, a wealthy real estate developer, served as mayor before coming to Washington.
Despite the seal of approval from the White House, establishment Republicans that dominate the wealthy donor set in Tennessee have been slow to embrace Blackburn. The Haslam family, led by outgoing Gov. Bill Haslam and his father, businessman Jim Haslam, is a notable exception. Corker, Republican sources say, has gone so far as to discourage some donors in his network from contributing to Blackburn.
“Corker supporters are disappointed that Bob didn’t run,” a GOP insider who urged the senator to run for re-election said. “It puts them in place where they have to make a decision between a Republican loyalty, as it relates to leadership in Washington, and Phil Bredesen, who they were perfectly comfortable with as mayor and governor.”
With so much GOP cash on the sidelines, Republican operatives are grumbling that the national party will be forced to funnel precious resources to Tennessee that could otherwise be invested in prime opportunities to flip seats and pad the party’s slim, 51-49 majority. Tennessee is a solid red state with a robust donor base that is capable of underwriting a competitive Senate race.
Some blame Corker, the governor, and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., all with close ties to resistant financiers, for not doing enough to encourage deep-pocketed contributors to open their checkbooks for Blackburn, 66, who was elected to the House in 2002 and represents the decidedly conservative 7th Congressional District, situated just west of Greater Nashville.
“The party apparatus should not be spending in Republican states, but on challenger races,” complained one GOP operative, who requested anonymity in order to speak candidly. “The Republican incumbent senators and the governor should solve this problem. Lamar is a senior statesman and a fantastic fundraiser — why not take control?”
Corker a while ago said that he supported Blackburn’s candidacy but made clear his backing came with limits.
For instance, he has ruled out campaigning for the congresswoman in any way that would require him to be critical of Bredesen. Still, Corker supporters dispute suggestions that he is working against Blackburn, emphasizing that the senator has donated the maximum amount to her campaign allowed under federal law.
The Blackburn campaign shrugged off concerns about resources, expressing confidence that it was on track to win in November even as a fresh poll from a Democratic firm showed Bredesen ahead 44 percent to 41 percent (a margin that matches some Republicans' data). In May and June, Blackburn spent a combined 126 hours on the phone making fundraising calls.
The campaign didn’t deny the friction that exists between Blackburn and establishment Republicans in Tennessee, nor that it would love to have more support from that community. But Ward Baker, the congresswoman’s chief political adviser, said that that the governor and his father, key figures among donors, are being immensely helpful.
“The Haslam family has bent over backward for us and has done everything we’ve asked,” Baker said. “They’ve been wonderful.”
Whether more wealthy contributors follow suit could rest on which party appears to have the upper hand in the battle for the Senate majority.
Though the GOP’s House majority is in trouble, a favorable map has put Republicans on track to maintain control of the Senate, and possibly pick up seats. If that environment holds as Election Day nears, GOP donors in Tennessee who prefer Bredesen over Blackburn are more likely to keep their powder dry and vote for the Democrat.
Granted the shield of anonymity, a Republican strategist in Tennessee who backs Blackburn explained Bredesen’s appeal in a state Trump won by 26 points: “He’s not a typical Democrat. He was the best governor of my lifetime. I’m not going to vote for him, but I can see why other people would.”
Bredesen’s Republican supporters have faith that he wouldn’t kowtow to Schumer or side with Democratic liberals on Capitol Hill, a belief strengthened so far by a strategically pitch perfect campaign that has been fueled by television ads that have blanketed the state, absent much competition from the rather unknown Blackburn.
Based on Bredesen's campaign and record in elected office, Republican donors are convinced he will support the confirmation of federal judge Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s nominee to succeed retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. The issue is becoming a major point of contention in battleground Senate races.
“If it looks like Tennessee will decide control of Senate, that, at the end of day, is what would bring a substantial number of donors around to Blackburn. But if it looks like Republicans will keep control regardless, then it’s much tougher for her,” a Republican operative with Tennessee ties said.
Scarlett Johansson drops out of transgender film after getting bullied by the left
Vivek Saxena
Thanks to the radical far-left’s increasingly harmful obsession with identity politics, award-winning Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has effectively been bullied into withdrawing her participation from the upcoming film “Rub & Tug.”
Scarlett, a normal woman, had been set to play the role of a transgender man — i.e., a clinically delusional woman who pretends to be a man — but dropped out of the film Friday after the far-left ravaged her on social media for allegedly promoting the oppression of transgender people.
The left’s nonsensical argument was that only a transgender actress should be allowed to play the role of a transgender man. Never mind that the very purpose of acting revolves around representing/acting like someone else.
Johansson initially responded to the criticism by urging her haters to speak with her representatives: “Tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman’s reps for comment,” she said.
This alone was enough for far-leftists to don their pitchforks and declare war on her for allegedly being an unrepentant bigot and monster.
Oh SNAP! John Brennan’s terrible, no-good, very bad day on Twitter was more EMBARRASSING than we realized
As Twitchy readers know, John Brennan really stepped in it by tweeting the GOP leadership and all but threatening them about Trump’s calling for an investigation into whether or not the Obama administration was only the tip of the iceberg.
He seemed fairly distressed in his tweet … gosh, wonder why.
Anyway, earlier in the day before he tweeted that hot mess, he had tweeted THIS quote which we think bit him right in his crabby arse:

Dennis Marcellino: Abortion Is Not A Right … It’s Criminal
It’s not “a woman’s right to choose” or “women’s health”, IT’S BABY MURDERING!
And it’s not “a woman’s choice over her own body” … there are TWO bodies involved (and 3 if you count the father, and many more if you count the society in general).
The position on the left is hard to believe. The only ICE that I want to see abolished is the Insanity, Craziness and Evil coming from the left. They are freaked out about baby murdering being made illegal (overturning Roe vs. Wade). What kind of a position in life is making that such a high priority, to the point where you march in the streets and display your anger, evil and insanity?
And WHY isn’t everyone appreciating the great things that President Trump is doing? Do they realize that he isn’t even taking a salary? There is no personal gain for him … just pure service.
After The Strzok Stonewall: WSJ Says Trump Should Declassify This To Expose The Truth
by Tyler Durden
While the left and the liberal media desperately defended 'FBI lovebird' Peter Strzok this week as he came under attack from a rightly angry 'right' over the level of cognitive dissonance required to ignore his text expletions and 'assume' no bias, The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel was carefully observing and asking 'awkward' questions...
On the question of Strzok's bias and whether we should believe he didn't act on it. The question every American should ask is this: How would you feel if he'd expressed such disgust toward you, and was also investigating you?
9:07 AM - Jul 12, 2018
9:07 AM - Jul 12, 2018
But it is the full Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal that today's lays out the path ahead, after Strzok's stonewalling - Here’s what Trump should declassify if he wants the truth known...
FBI agent Peter Strzok’s appearance before Congress Thursday was a predictable political circus, and here’s what we learned: President Trump will have to declassify a host of documents if he wants Americans to learn the truth about what happened in 2016.
Mr. Strzok was combative, and he pointed to an FBI lawyer in the room as reason not to disclose much of anything about his investigation into the Russia connections of the Trump campaign. Under pressure from Ohio’s Jim Jordan, Mr. Strzok did reveal that Justice Department official Bruce Ohr acted as a channel between the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS and the FBI in 2016. We already knew that Mr. Ohr’s wife Nellie worked for Fusion.
This means that Fusion, an outfit on the payroll of the Clinton campaign, had a messenger on the government payroll to deliver its anti-Trump documents to the FBI. This confirms that the FBI relied on politically motivated sources as part of its probe, even as Mr. Strzok insists he showed no political bias in his investigating decisions.
Yet if this is the most Congress could pry out of the FBI’s lead Russia investigator over 10 hours, legislative oversight won’t discover the truth. Mr. Trump will have to help Congress by ordering Justice and the FBI to declassify the relevant documents. Consistent with protecting legitimate sources and methods, here is the document list Mr. Trump should want released:
The FISA applications. Justice and the FBI made one application and three renewals for warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. The text of those applications would show the degree to which the FBI relied on the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele at the request of Fusion GPS. They would also show how honest FBI and Justice were with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that approves warrants.
Woods procedures documents. The FBI is required to vet and support the facts its presents to a FISA court when it seeks a warrant to eavesdrop on a U.S. citizen. These rules are known as Woods procedures, and releasing sections of this Woods file would show the extent to which the FBI verified the dossier or other evidence it used as its justification to listen to Trump campaign aides. More broadly, Mr. Trump should declassify any document that demonstrates what the FBI and Justice knew about the provenance and accuracy of the Fusion-Steele dossier.
The 302s. These forms include information taken from the notes FBI agents make while interviewing a source or subject. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley last week asked Justice to declassify the 302s for 12 separate FBI interviews with Mr. Ohr concerning his contacts with Mr. Steele. Declassifying other 302s related to the subjects in this probe (including former Trump aides George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn ) would reveal what the FBI was told, who provided what information, and how much came from politically motivated sources.
The 1023s. These are the equivalent of 302s for counterintelligence, and they document FBI debriefings with informants or sources. Mr. Trump should declassify these and other documents showing interaction between the FBI and Mr. Steele, Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, Fusion backer Dan Jones, informant Stefan Halper, or anyone the FBI used to keep tabs on the Trump campaign. These documents would reveal the extent and dates of the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign.
Mr. Trump is undoubtedly being told that declassifying these documents would set a bad precedent, or risk accusations that he is undermining special counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation. But the worst precedent would be letting mistrust and partisan suspicion persist over how law enforcement behaved during a presidential campaign.
Mr. Mueller’s probe is also moving ahead without interference, as his indictment Friday of a dozen Russian agents for hacking Democratic National Committee computers shows. But indictments of Russians who will never see a U.S. courtroom don’t tell us anywhere near the complete story. That duty falls to Congress, not to a special counsel whose job is deciding whether or not to prosecute crimes.
Mr. Trump is going to be attacked no matter what he does. He should declassify these records or stop complaining about his Justice Department’s lack of cooperation.

Brett Kavanaugh Fought the Clinton/Castro Kidnapping of Elian Gonzalez back to Stalinist Cuba
Humberto Fontova
If we needed more proof (atop the media panic) that President Trump nominated the right SCOTUS candidate here it is:
“Kavanaugh represented, on a pro bono basis, six-year-old Elian Gonzalez after the Immigration and Naturalization Service decided to return him to Cuba. Kavanaugh was among a series of lawyers who sought legal injunctions to stop INS…from sending the boy back to Cuba…”
Whoops! I already hear the caterwauling about “separating immigrant children from their parents!” So let’s clear that up first:
The genuine issue during the Elian Gonzalez circus had NOTHING to do with “parental rights,” as the Castro/Fake News Media/ Democrat propaganda campaign claimed (and many half-wits swallowed.) Instead it was: should a mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring foreign dictator trample on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights with the compliance of a U.S. president.
Well, a Clinton was in the White House. So naturally, despite the best efforts of people like Brett Kavanaugh, the communist dictator whose lifelong dream was to nuke the U.S., whose own “courts” channeled Stalin’s during the Great Terror, and whose sidekick Che Guevara boasted that “judicial procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail” –the whims of this mass-murdering international terrorist and criminal easily prevailed over the U.S. Constitution.
After all, even lifelong liberal Democrats like Alan Dershowitz and Harvard‘s Lawrence Tribe gagged at the unconstitutionality of Elian’s kidnapping by the INS (on Fidel Castro’s orders as obeyed by Bill Clinton and transmitted to Eric Holder, Janet Reno and ultimately the INS.)
“They (the Clinton administration) acted lawlessly. They should have gotten a court order. They didn`t go for a court order because they knew they couldn`t get one. It`s a dangerous day for all Americans. (Alan Dershowitz, April 25, 2000.)
In fact, this key item was frantically hushed by the Fake News Media/Democrat cabal, but Elian’s father was initially delighted that his motherless son was in the U.S. and in the loving arms of his uncles and cousins.
Mauricio Vicent, a reporter for Madrid newspaper El Pais, wrote that a week after Elian’s rescue at sea, he’d visited Elian’s hometown of Cardenas in Cuba and talked with Elian’s father, Juan Miguel, along with other family members and friends. All confirmed that Juan Miguel had always longed for his son Elian to flee to the United States. Shortly after Elian’s rescue, his father had even applied for a U.S. visa!
Then Fidel Castro stepped into the picture. “I always said I would turn over Elian to his father,” explained Elian’s Miami uncle Lazaro, “if Juan Miguel would come here freely and claim him. But I knew he could never do that. I knew it wasn’t Juan Miguel requesting Elian--it was Fidel."
The entire Elian Gonzalez Fake News/Democrat pageant was built atop the outrageous lie that Elian’s father Juan Miguel was a sincerely grief-stricken, totally free-acting father who simply wanted his son back in Cuba. Any mention that this desire might have been “influenced” in any way by a Stalinist dictator who mandated (under penalty of prison or firing squad) what his subjects, read, said, earned, ate (both substance and amount), where they lived, traveled or worked, who shattered — through mass-executions, mass-jailings, mass larceny and exile — virtually every family on the island of Cuba—any mention that such a megalomaniacal and sadistic absolute ruler might have somehow “persuaded” his subject to mime for the Fake News media of the time was promptly denounced by liberals as typical “Cuban-American Right-Wing Propaganda!”
But in fact, the legs from this Fake News/Castro production were completely and conclusively kicked out by blockbuster revelations as early as 2005—and by an eyewitness to the revolting backstage scenes. To wit:
On the April 6th 2000 edition of the historic Fake News vehicle "60 Minutes", America saw a bewildered and “heartsick” Juan Miguel Gonzalez “pleading” to be allowed to have his motherless son accompany him back to Cuba, his cherished homeland. Fake News pioneer Dan Rather (who hailed Fidel Castro as “Cuba’s Elvis!”) was the one interviewing Elian’s “bereaved” father.
"Did you cry?" the pained and frowning Dan Rather asked the "bereaved" father during the 60 Minutes drama."A father never runs out of tears," Juan (actually, as we’ll see, the voice of Juan's drama school-trained translator) sniffled back to Dan. And the "60 Minutes" prime-time audience could hardly contain their own sniffles.
Here's what America didn't see: "Juan Miguel Gonzalez was surrounded by Castro security agents the entire time he was in the studio with Rather." This is an eye-witness account from Pedro Porro, who served as Dan Rather's translator during the famous "60 Minutes" interview. Dan Rather would ask the question in English into Porro's earpiece whereupon Porro would translate it into Spanish for Elian's heavily-guarded father.
"Juan Miguel was never completely alone," says Pedro Porro. "He never smiled. His eyes kept shifting back and forth. It was obvious to me that he was under heavy coercion. He was always surrounded by Cuban security agents. When these agents left him alone for a few seconds, attorney (and Clinton-chum) Gregory Craig would hover over Juan Miguel.
"The questions Dan Rather was asking Elian's father during that 60 Minutes interview were being handed to him by attorney (and Clinton-chum) Gregory Craig," continues Pedro Porro. "It was obvious that Craig and Rather where on very friendly terms. They were joshing and bantering back and forth, as Juan Miguel sat there petrified. Craig was stage managing the whole thing - almost like a movie director."
"At one point Craig stopped the taping almost like a movie director yelling, 'Cut!'" Porro recalls.
A reminder: officially (Bill Clinton and Dan Rather crony) Gregory Craig then served as attorney for Elian's father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who worked as a hotel doorman in a nation where the average monthly salary was $16. The high-rolling Gregory Craig worked for Washington D.C.'s elite firm, Williams & Connolly, one of America's highest-priced law firms.
Upon accepting the case at Clinton’s behest, Gregory Craig had flown to Cuba for a meeting with Fidel Castro himself. Craig's remuneration, we learned shortly after his return, came from a "voluntary fund" set up by the United Methodist Board of Church and Society. The same type of journalists and pundits who routinely erupt with snide snorts midway through any statement by Sarah Huckabee Sanders reported this item with a straight face.
A week later Janet Reno’s INS maced, kicked, stomped, gun-butted and tear-gassed their way into Lazaro Gonzalez's small Miami home, wrenched a bawling 6-year-old child from his family at machine-gun point, and bundled him off to Stalinist Cuba. They left 102 people injured, some seriously. Many of the injured were elderly ladies who had brandished dangerous weapons. These weapons were rosaries.
Interesting postscript: (Pedro Porro’s blockbuster revelations were featured in Human Events, The Drudge Report, and the Rush Limbaugh Show upon the release of the book, Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant. AIM (Accuracy in Media) forwarded them to Gregory Craig, who denied them. AIM then set up an interview/debate with this writer and Craig. Alas, Craig was a no-show. He sent a message basically accusing me of lying—but was apparently afraid to confront me face-to-face to make the accusation, especially while I presented proof to the contrary from an eye-witness.
