Hannukah Begins with Sorrowful Rememberances | |
Today is the first day of Hanukkah. Jewish families across America are coming together to light their menorahs, eat latkes, and sing songs to celebrate the holiday. This year, the story of Hanukkah resonates deeply with Jewish families, including my own, following the atrocities we all witnessed in Israel on October 7.
The story of Hanukkah takes place thousands of years ago when the Jews faced the threat of extinction under rule of the Greek Empire. Despite facing persecution, many resorted to studying the Torah in caves, taught their children to read Hebrew by using dreidels, and hid their religious identity from the Greeks. When they had finally left Jerusalem, the Jewish people survived, but returned to find the Holy Temple destroyed.
| |
The Greeks defiled holy sacraments, scriptures, and ultimately destroyed all of the oil reserves, except for one small cup, which would last them one night. The miracle of Hanukkah comes when this small cup ends up lasting eight nights, and this small flame on the menorah has radiated light to millions of Jews around the globe for generations.
Thousands of years later, the core principles of this story have never been more applicable to current events. On October 7, Hamas terrorists unleashed the greatest single-day attack against Jews since the Holocaust. They massacred over 1,400 Israelis, beheading babies, raping women and men, and destroying entire Kibbutzes in the process. Hamas’ charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the extermination of the Jewish faith. That is Hamas’ ultimate goal.
| |
Even further startling is the rampant antisemitism in our own government, on our streets, and on our college campuses. We saw this week how the Presidents of Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology refuse to declare that calling for the “genocide of jews” violates their campus’ code of conduct. They say it's just a “matter of context.” The illest poison surrounding antisemitism in America comes from shocking stories of Jewish students being physically harassed on campus, professors having to quit jobs they loved for many years, and faculty turning their backs on students seeking help through this traumatic time.
We, as Jews, have overcome persecution time and again, and as we face a similar enemy, we must look back to find inspiration in the story of our ancestors. Hanukkah is the festival of lights. We celebrate how just a small wick of flame illuminates the darkness, and we need to find some of that light in the darkness we face today. We must stand resolute in the face of evil, united, and proud of our faith. The times we are facing are extremely dark, but in the end, light must always prevail.

KSGOP in Leadership Position at Colorado Supreme Court
Mike Brown
| |
|
See the ABC News article CLICK HERE
The Kansas Republican Party filed an amicus brief with the Colorado Supreme Court last week on November 29, arguing to keep President Donald Trump on the Colorado ballot. In this briefing, the KSGOP proudly leads the Republican parties, including the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the state parties of Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Wyoming, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Delaware, Georgia, Nebraska, Maine, Idaho, and Rhode Island in pursuing a rationale and common sense outcome.
The KSGOP presented the case that Kansas Republicans would be irreparably harmed if Colorado were to remove Trump’s name from their ballot. Should this occur, Trump would have no delegates from this state at the Presidential Nominating Convention in Milwaukee in 2024, diluting the value of a Kansas vote and making it ever more difficult for him to secure the nomination.
And that is precisely the other side's shameful and selfish end game.
| |
|
The Kansas Republican Party is proud to be a leader in this critical effort. It is an honor to play a role in this ugly chapter in American History.
Note:
On behalf of the KSGOP, I want to thank Chris McGowne, Esq. for crafting the expert legal language used and for submitting our brief to the Colorado Supreme Court. I would also like to thank Ben Sisney, Esq., and the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) for their work in this case, and others, and for zealously representing the Colorado Republican Party as an intervened party in this lawsuit.
Without these amazing Patriots and many others, our republic would not be so robustly defended against these flagrant assaults on America and our ideals of fairness and justice.
On a personal note, those who are trying to keep President Trump, or any other legitimate candidate, off their states’ ballot simply to accomplish their selfish goals of “winning at any cost” are reprehensible and unAmerican. These people not only deserve to lose this case but also must be ashamed of the selfish risk they’ve taken with America’s future hanging in the balance.

SEL is Like a Trojan Horse
Linda Highland
| |
|
SEL is billed as programs that build emotional well-being and teach anti-bullying/anti-suicide programs. However, SEL acts like a trojan horse to smuggle topics into the schools with parents unaware that their children are being exposed to discussions on race, gender, sex, drugs, pornographic books, religious beliefs, sharing circles, being surveyed, and much more.
The Kansas Communities That Care (KCTC) is just one example of a survey that has been widely used in Kansas schools from its inception in 1994 as a tool for collecting data and receiving grants. How much federal grant money does KDADS receive for you to administer the KCTC to students in 6th, 8th, 10#, and 12" grades with hour long survey questions like:
"Have you ever seriously thought about killing yourself?"
"Have you ever made a plan about how you would kill yourself?"
"Have you ever tried to kill yourself?"
In 2012 when SEL began in Kansas schools, it was also the year that suicide among our youth became the second leading cause of death, according to KDHE. Before 2011 it was not ranked as a category of leading causes. SEL is not preventing suicides.
The questions go on in the KCTC survey to introduce and normalize students to all forms of drugs and bad behaviors. The unreliable data collected from the KCTC survey along with a Youth Risk Behavior Survey Surveillance System from the CDC, and the Family Engagement Survey (yes students are asked to report on family life) are used to make Climate Measures reports on students and their school.
The SEL curriculum is being taught to mold and groom minds of children at the most impressionable age to be compliant with SEL norms that give more attention to harmful behaviors and death than to healthy lifestyles. CASEL has moved SEL to become more radicalized with its transformative agenda.

Kansas' High-Stakes Bet on Panasonic:
A Risky Proposition
for Taxpayers
| |
|
Kansas, enticed by the admittedly tempting allure of economic growth and job creation, has made a substantial wager on Panasonic's foray into the electric vehicle (EV) market. Yet, this colossal bet on the future of EVs comes with significant financial and political ramifications, a gamble that, should it falter, will echo for decades across the state's economy and political landscape.
The stakes are high as Panasonic, drawn by an unprecedented package of taxpayer-funded incentives, sets its sights on Kansas to build a mammoth EV battery production facility. The promised influx of jobs and economic stimuli proved irresistible, leading to a poorly structured agreement between Kansas and Panasonic cloaked in secrecy and inked with optimism. However, concerns continue to arise amidst this veil of anticipation.
| |
|
The uncertainty surrounding EV consumer demand casts a shadow over this ambitious endeavor. While a group of 3,900 US auto dealers rallies against federal regulations mandating a substantial percentage of EV sales by 2032, citing tepid consumer interest due to high costs, charging infrastructure limitations, and concerns over range limitations in extreme weather and towing scenarios, the disconnect (pun intended) between policy ambitions and market readiness becomes painfully apparent.
The Biden administration's environmental initiatives, striving for emission reduction and a swift transition to EVs, align with the ridiculous and unattainable global sustainability goals. However, the practicality of these mandates in light of consumer preferences and economic feasibility remains a significant bone of contention.
| |
|
A White House spokesperson rebuffed claims of coercion, emphasizing that the proposed mileage standards don't compel the purchase or sale of EVs but rather set performance-based targets. Yet, the stark reality persists: the average price of a Battery-Powered Electric Vehicle (BEV) stands at a prohibitive $66,000 for most Americans, highlighting a significant affordability gap.
The impending outcome of Kansas' monumental bet on Panasonic remains shrouded in uncertainty and uncontrollable and unpredictable economic waves coming one after another. The lack of concrete assurances, the mammoth investment, and the hyper-fragile landscape of the EV market cast doubts on the prudence of this venture.
Should the Panasonic deal falter amidst wavering consumer demand for EVs
and as other alternative fuel-source designs come forward, the repercussions would reverberate through the Kansas economy from border to border, leaving the unsuspecting taxpayers burdened with the devastating aftermath and a massive financial - and possible environmental - cleanup that could set Kansas back for a decade or more.
| |
|
As Kansans watch the fate of this pivotal deal, the looming question arises: what contingency plans exist if this grand gamble fails? The continual quiet chatter and unease among elected officials underscores the fragility of this undertaking and the potential toll it could take on the state's financial and political landscape.
The realistic downside should things go
South would be crippling to Kansas’ future.
In the delicate dance between ambition and risk, Kansas balances on a precipice, wagering its future on the uncertain tides of a rapidly evolving automotive industry. Only time will reveal whether this daring venture heralds prosperity or precipitates unforeseen consequences.
And if it’s the latter, it will require a lot more than a charging station to fix this dead battery.

Meet the KSGOP
National Committeeman and Committewoman
Candidates
| |
|
As the KSGOP State Committee Meeting on January 27, 2024 approaches, here is a chance to get to know each of the individuals who are official candidates.
The KSGOP Bylaws (see below) specifically detail that the KSGOP Executive Director or the KSGOP Secretary must be notified by a candidate no less than seven days before the official Winter State Committee meeting.
Several candidates have officially declared their candidacy to the KSGOP including (alphabetically by last name) Wendy Bingesser, Maria Holiday, Mark
Kahrs, and Mark Steffen.
Other interested candidates should read and follow the KSGOP Constitution and Bylaws available at www.kansas.gop and then expect to receive a written confirmation from the Executive Director or Secretary confirming said notification. If you have submitted a notification but did not receive a confirmation, please resend it and ask for a received receipt.
Each official candidate is eligible to supply a short narrative to Mike Brown at [email protected] regarding their experience, qualifications, endorsements, and any other pertinent information plus a picture of themselves.
The KSGOP leadership, all members of the State Committee, and all Precinct Committeemen/women, in their official party capacity, are forbidden from endorsement, backing, or supporting candidates participating in primary elections, including inner-party races. This rule applies to the race for Kansas National Committeeman/woman. Certainly, all Kansas Republicans (including me) reserve the right to personally endorse any Republican candidate in any race at any time in their personal and private capacity. I discourage all elected and party Republicans from endorsements as they create unnecessary division and hard feelings when the KSGOP is now coming together and readying for 2024. Unity First!

DR. MARK STEFFEN
My life has been a series of events preparing me for these times. Husband, father, physician, farmer, oil & gas producer, general contractor: my specialty has been tackling new challenges head on, and with God’s grace…. successfully. In the spirit of servant leadership, I ask for your support for Kansas Republican Party National Committeeman. As an elected County precinct committeeman, District Delegate, State Delegate, and Kansas State Senator, I have led the grassroots’ charge back to the CONSTITUTION, our FREEDOMS, and the TRUTH. I pledge to promote our Kansas Republican Party Platform unapologetically from “Sea to Shining Sea”. UNITY is ultimately found within our values and principles, it’s also where success resides and where a true “Red Wave” begins. The RNC struggles to define what they stand for as their thinking is frequently usurped by big-money donors committed to their selfish interests. Endorsements: the approval I seek is from WE THE PEOPLE, while they are rarely famous, they are Kansas’ greatest asset. My heart and soul are firmly planted in the Kansas Grassroots. A vote for me will be a vote for a Republican revival, a resurgence. I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!! See my resume at SteffenForKansas.com. Facebook: Dr. Mark Steffen. Cell: 620-802-1188.

MARK KAHRS
Helping elect solid conservatives to office and advancing the America First agenda has been a lifelong endeavor for me. My most valued political experience is what I've gained as a grassroots activist working with conservatives to elect Republicans. I've served as:
Precinct committeeman
Field Director for Todd Tiahrt for Congress
Kansas GOP State Committee Delegate
Sedgwick County Republican Central Committee Chairman
Kansas Fourth District Republican Treasurer
Kansas Fourth District Chairman
Kansas State Representative
Vice Chair of the Kansas Republican House Campaign Committee
I’ve helped maintain a Republican majority in the Kansas House, fought to keep our Republican primaries closed, recruited conservatives to run for office, and raised money for candidates and conservative initiatives. As a member of the RNC, I am working to strengthen the integrity of our elections and to build conservative coalitions. It’s critical work I hope to continue.
My decades of service to the Republican Party helped me earn the support of three of Kansas's Republican Congressional District Chairs – Laura Francis, Eric Rucker, and Debbie Luper. I hope to earn your support as well.

Kansas National
Committeewoman

I appreciate this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Maria Holiday and I am currently the Chair of the Johnson County Republican Party. It is one of many roles I have held in Kansas politics. I was born in Wichita and raised in Ellinwood in Barton County. My family moved to Garden City when I was a sophomore. After high school, I graduated from St. Mary of the Plains in Dodge City with a degree in education. My husband's job brought us to Johnson County in 1992. Doc and I have three grown children, four granddaughters, and a lab mix named Ebony.
I believe the Republican Party has a winning platform. “We The People,” must pull together to defend our country. I have and will continue to fight for truth! We need leadership who is not timid about promoting our platform.
As your National Committeewoman, I will have a vote for new National leadership in 2025. I will vote for a leader that will listen to the grassroots. We need an RNC that can create excitement and hope for the future. We need the RNC to support conservative ideals, project political strength, and win the big races across America and Kansas. “We The People” are desperately waiting for an RNC that is not afraid to take ACTION!
In addition to being the Johnson County Chair, I have been the Chair for the Kansas Republican Assembly, the secretary for the 3rd Congressional District, a grassroots coordinator for Phill Kline, a campaign volunteer for multiple campaigns, a campaign manager, and a candidate for public office. I am a 2007 graduate of the Eisenhower Women in Leadership Series. I am unabashedly pro-life, and I have always supported Republican leadership.
In my first year as Johnson County Chair, our JCRP team rebuilt our website and added a campaign toolkit for candidates. We have established messaging recommendations, created precinct committee persons recruitment and training committees, held candidate training, and remodeled our office so our 2 dozen local Republican groups have a home large enough to hold their meetings and events. We doubled fundraising this year over last and got a record number of Republicans out to vote in a local election.
If you want a National Committee Woman who gets things done - I’m your girl. I care about our country. I care about saving it.

Wendy is currently serving as the Chair of the Third District Republican Party and previously served as the Chair of the Olathe Republican Party. She is a graduate of the Eisenhower Series and a member of the KFRW. In 2020, she personally knocked the entirety of four critical Kansas House districts and won them all. These wins allowed Republicans to keep their supermajority and deliver on key proposals. As a Johnson County Charter Commissioner, Wendy won a battle to keep the sheriff an elected office and blocked a radical proposal for a public health and safety governing board. Wendy is a mother, wife, K-State alumna, and proud Kansas conservative.
Blessings,
Wendy

The late Fairway Officer Jonah Oswald, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty, had his family's mortgage fully covered by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a New York-based nonprofit.
Oswald, fatally injured while apprehending car theft suspects in August, left behind his wife and two young children. Grateful for the Foundation's gesture, Oswald’s wife expressed her ability now to honor her husband's wish: to stay home, homeschool their children, and nurture their family.
This kind act, coinciding with Veterans Day, honors Oswald's Army and law enforcement service. The Foundation's generosity extends beyond Oswald's family, having previously relieved the mortgage burden for Kansas City Officer James Muhlbauer's family.
Additionally, the Foundation plans to provide 50 mortgage-free homes to injured veterans, Gold Star families, and fallen first responder families with military backgrounds.
