Kansas os TRUMP COUNTRY! DEFENDING KANSAS SAVING AMERICA DONATE VOLUNTEER The Friday File A Weekly Publication Department of Interior Must Open Alaska Drilling America First Energy Independence Creates Security, Safety In 2019 and early 2020, the Trump administration finalized plans to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to drilling in a bold and necessary step towards furthering America's energy independence and economic prosperity. This move presented a unique opportunity to responsibly harness the abundant natural resources that lie beneath the surface of this remote and largely untapped region. Then the Biden Administration, playing to it’s liberal, left, and woke base, foolishly and predictably scrapped this entire plan on DAY-ONE in January, 2021. The fact is that opening up ANWR to drilling would not only create jobs and stimulate economic growth, and it will also reduce our reliance on foreign sources of oil, enhancing national security. By tapping into our domestic energy reserves, we can reduce price volatility in the global oil market, safeguard against supply disruptions, and enhance national security. Furthermore, the decision to proceed with drilling in the Arctic Refuge demonstrates a commitment to utilizing advanced technologies and best practices to ensure that environmental stewardship remains a top priority. Rigorous regulations and safeguards will be put in place to minimize any potential ecological impact and protect the diverse wildlife that calls this pristine wilderness home. These guidelines and regulations must be followed by the drillers and enforced by the government. Responsibly developing our petroleum fuel resources now will help facilitate a smoother transition towards a more sustainable future and provide advance energy technologies more time for research and development. Overall, the Trump administration's decision to open up the Arctic Refuge to drilling represented a strategic and forward-thinking approach to energy policy that prioritizes American interests while ensuring environmental protection and conservation efforts are upheld. U.S. energy independence makes America stronger, and a strong America makes for a safer and more stable world. And that is the very definition of America First. Trump Derangement Syndrome Explained Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a term used to describe a perceived mental or emotional condition where individuals exhibit intense, irrational, and often extreme reactions to President Donald Trump, his policies, or his supporters. The term is frequently used to describe the strong negative emotions and behaviors exhibited by some individuals towards President Trump, which can range from unhinged anger, frustration, and anxiety to outrage, hatred, and even violence. Origins of the term: The term “Trump Derangement Syndrome” was first used in 2016 by Trump supporters to describe the intense negative reactions to Trump’s presidential campaign. Since then, the term has been used by both supporters and critics of Trump to describe the extreme reactions to his presidency. Characteristics of TDS: Some common characteristics of individuals exhibiting TDS include: Irrational thinking: Individuals with TDS may exhibit irrational or illogical thinking, such as assuming the worst about Trump or his policies without evidence. Emotional reactivity: TDS individuals may exhibit intense emotional reactions, such as anger, frustration, or anxiety, in response to Trump or his supporters. Biased information consumption: TDS individuals may only consume information that confirms their negative views of Trump, and reject or dismiss information that contradicts their beliefs KCPT. Lack of critical thinking: TDS individuals may not engage in critical thinking or evaluate information objectively, instead relying on emotions and biases. Aggressive behavior: In some cases, TDS individuals exhibit aggressive behavior, such as harassment, bullying, or violence, towards Trump supporters or those who disagree with their views. Examples of TDS: The term TDS has been used to describe various behaviors and reactions, including: ~ Protests and demonstrations: TDS has been used to describe the intense protests and demonstrations against Trump’s policies, such as the Women’s March and the March for Science. Social media behavior: TDS has been used to describe the hostile and often abusive behav”«ior exhibited by some individuals on social media towards Trump or his supporters. ~ Political rhetoric: TDS has been used to describe the hyperbolic and often inflammatory rhetoric used by some politicians and media figures to describe Trump or his policies. ~ Debate and controversy: The term TDS has been controversial, with some critics arguing that “it is a form of gaslighting or a way to silence legitimate criticism of Trump. Others argue that TDS is a legitimate term to describe the extreme reactions to Trump and his presidency. Summary: TDS is a real thing. It is the adult version of the 4-year-old temper tantrum about candy at the grocery store checkout line. It is juvenile; it is a demonstration of a lack of ability to think critically; it is unacceptable, and it is contagious. And the outcome for some people is they are irreparably infected. Accountability and consequences. You don’t say. UPDATED Special Meeting Notice KSGOP State Committee Convention Official Notice The Kansas Republican Party State Committee members are hereby notified of a KSGOP Special Convention Meeting to elect self-nominated (see above) Presidential Nominating Convention Delegates and Alternate Delegates for the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee from July 15-18, 2024. The self-nomination deadline has now passed. The meeting details are as follows: KSGOP State Committee Virtual Special Convention Meeting Sunday, May 19, 2024 ~ 2 pm Election Virtual platform details and invitations with instructions will be provided to KSGOP State Committee Members. ~ Credentialing will occur before the meeting. No proxies allowed. NOTE: Immediately following the election of Delegates and Alternate Delegates, all attendees of the virtual meeting, except the newly elected At-Large and District Delegates, will be disconnected from the call. We will move immediately to discussion and elections of a man and woman to serve on each of the four RNC Convention Committees: Rules, Platform, Credentialing, and Permanent Organization. No proxies allowed. STATE COMMITTEE MEETING Election of Delegates and Alternates Sunday May 19, 2024 2:00 PM (CT) REGISTER NOW CLICK HERE IMPORTANT NOTES 1. This will be a professionally run meeting. 2. Per RNC Rules, no other business may or shall be conducted at this meeting. There will be no consideration or discussion of any rules, platform, agenda, or budget during this meeting. 3. The meeting will be convened promptly at 2 PM (CT), and after brief comments by the Chairman and Special Guests, we will move immediately to voting for Delegates. After all delegate elections are complete, we will immediately move to alternate delegate elections. 4. A practice virtual session was hosted last Wednesday evening before the official meeting to help folks get comfortable with the process. 5. There is no in-person meeting component of this meeting. 6. Per the rules, this meeting shall be the only official meeting for the purpose of Electing KSGOP Presidential Delegates and Alternates Delegates. No other meetings or “elections” shall be deemed valid by KSGOP or the RNC. 7. Each voter will have a unique security code they will be assigned upon completion of credentialing. Each vote will require entering this code and must be entered to vote. DO NOT SHARE THIS CODE WITH ANYONE. A couple may use one device (phone, tablet, laptop computer, or desktop computer) and may each vote individually, each using their own unique access code! Election Integrity is a huge priority to me, and we have a great secure system lined up for this process. I will always oppose any local, county, state, and federal elections being held online virtually as we don't know who the sizeable public voting base is and cannot guarantee a secure process, however in a small inner-party election like this one, the voting base is small, finite, verified, and then further protected with a password/passcode. This election will be easy to attend, hard to cheat - and it is secure. 8. This process is a part of American history. It is an honor to be a part of the process at any level. 9. By serving as a delegate or alternate delegate, you will become a unique part of the American Experience. This is to be a fun exercise in American history, so don't let anyone suck the joy out of this for you! 10. Kansas is Trump Country! Stay tuned. More information coming soon!

KSGOP Prepared to Fully Support Republicans in 2024 With the 2024 election just around the corner, I would like to take a moment to let you know about what the KSGOP is offering to candidates and volunteers, from precinct committee person to US Congress. First is our data and volunteer platform Numinar. Campaigns around Kansas are knocking doors, sending text messages, making calls, polling, and accessing voter data through this innovative software. If you’re a data junky like myself, the AI mapping of poll results across your whole dataset is one of the coolest ways I’ve seen AI used in politics. For example, I can ask 300 people in Miami County how they feel about lowering property taxes, and then Numinar can predict how other voters in Miami County will feel about lowering property taxes. After working with various data platforms in the campaign realm, Numinar is by far the best I’ve ever used. Don’t just take my word for it, CampaignTech awarded Numinar best Software in 2023. The best part for candidates and volunteer across Kansas is that the KSGOP offers Numinar to all candidates and volunteers for free, if you need help getting started, reach out to me at
[email protected]. As Executive Director, I’m happy to travel the state, talk about campaigns and elections, and offer trainings. If your group would like me to come speak, let me know. I have worked on various campaigns through the years and am happy to help elect Republicans in your area. KSGOP is also offering Non-Profit Mail to Republicans across Kansas. This allows campaigns to use our indicia – saving big money on postage. KSGOP has utilized this lower mail rate and text messaging, door knocking, and calling through Numinar to help Republicans win, leading to nearly 80% of Republicans winning in the last local election. While those numbers are great, we need your help to make them even better! Please sign up to volunteer at [link removed] or make a small donation today so that we can send texts and mailers across Kansas. After all, you are the reason we are able to win elections – the KSGOP grassroots is the second to none! If you ever have any questions, please do not hesitate to call, text, or email! It’s an honor to serve as your KSGOP Executive Director, Dakotah Parshall Sharice Davids Votes Against Protecting Your Family Sharice Davids, KS CD-3, twice voted “no” on the impeachment of failed Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Leading up to and following the first impeachment vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson declined to vote on a bill sent by the U.S. Senate for military aid to Ukraine, citing the absence of provisions for U.S. border security. The political maneuvering forced a bright light on the importance of the U.S./Mexico border and drew criticism from Democratic representative Davids, who accused politicians of playing games. With Republicans eyeing the upcoming elections, the focus on border issues will intensify. A decrease in illegal crossings this January has been noted due to Texas Governor Abbott blocking the border in that state with the help of many other states from across the Union. Assistance of Kansas National Guard on this important matter did not come from Kansas as ultra-liberal and divisive Kansas Governor Laura Kelly ignored the majority of Kansans and sat silent taking no action whatsoever. The impeachment, based on allegations of incompetence, passed narrowly. Senate support for conviction remains uncertain but Kansans encourage their U.S. Senators to support the impeachment of Mayorkas. Border security consistently ranks high on the overall concerns of Kansans and Americans. U.S. Border Security must be a priority shown by our elected officials to maintain the support of Kansas Republicans. In Kansas' 3rd Congressional District, immigration and border security are of critical importance and related issues resonate across political divides. As the campaign unfolds, the border debate will intersect with broader political narratives, shaping the electoral landscape in Kansas CD-3 and beyond. Republicans in CD-3 are encouraged to look into their current member of Congress’s voting record and discover for themselves that we have our very own Nancy Pelosi - right here in Kansas. Numinar Data Analytics World-Class Platform Offered Free to Kansas Republican Candidates and Campaigns The Kansas Republican Party has partnered with the amazing folks at Numinar to - again - provide access to the Numinar Data Analytics Platform at no cost to registered Kansas Republicans who simply ask for access.

We must register every eligible voter, convince them to vote Republican, and make sure they get to the polls to get Kansas Republican candidates across the finish line and to get President Trump back in the White House! Please join us in sharing this information with your friends, family, neighbors, and folks at church. Right now is the time to win the November elections! Let’s roll. Sign the KSGOP Petition Tell Ultra-Liberal Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to support Texas and Secure Our Southern Border Sign the petition now! CLICK HERE Send a strong and bold message to ultra-liberal Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to support Texas’ efforts to secure our southern border. Kansas should be supporting the state of Texas’ efforts to secure our southern border since Joe Biden & Company have abdicated their constitutional responsibility. There is nothing controversial about securing and defending our border, but Laura Kelly continues doddering instead of engaging as most Kansans’ would prefer. Every State is a Border State Laura Kelly claims to be “middle of the road,” but that statement doesn't apply to “middle of the border”. Governor Kelly’s silence on this issue is both stunning and shameful. So why is ultra-liberal Kansas Governor Kelly so quiet? That's an excellent question.

And his main floor office? "Correct." And his third floor den? "Correct." At the University of Delaware? "Correct." And at the Biden Institute? "Correct." Was Biden, at any time, authorized to take classified documents? “No.” This is a weekly reminder that Joe Biden, President of the United States, and his son, Hunter Biden, are liars and kingpins in a crime syndicate ring. The Biden family has betrayed America, committing the crime of treason. They must be held accountable. Impeach Biden Now #NeverForget Americans overwhelmingly believe Joe Biden has failed as the President of the United States, is too old, and is mentally incapable of serving again. Joe Biden has failed on many topics over the last 3+ years, and here are just a few of those failures; Botched Afghanistan withdrawal plunging that country into Sharia Law and women of all ages into a miserable existence. Where are womens rights groups on this? America instantly surrendered energy independence for energy dependence simply because Joe Biden was grinding an ax. Where are the big labor unions on this? Inflation has skyrocketed and Biden thinks Americans are stupid and don't see and feel it. Where is YOUR voice promoting Republican principles and decrying this disastrous Administration? Make America Great Again!
