BIDEN ECONOMY LEAVING AMERICANS BEHIND
Republican Recovery: State job numbers are out. As Americans have seen for months, 17 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republicans.
  • 16 of the top 20 are led by Republican governors and 17 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
  • The nine states with the lowest unemployment rates are all led by Republicans.
White red states are bouncing back, those with Democrat governors are still languishing in an economic slump.
  • The seven states with the highest unemployment rates are all led by Democrat governors: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, and New York.
  • Democrat-led states have an average unemployment rate of 5.1%. That's 1.4 percentage points higher than their Republican counterparts.
Historic Price Increases: The latest economic news comes as inflation indicators hits a nearly 40-year high.
  • Consumer prices increased by 6.8% in November compared to last year, according to the Labor Department.
  • Producer prices surged 9.6% from last year, hitting a record high for the eighth month in a row.
Just in time for Christmas: These numbers hurt hard-working Americans already stretched thin by the pandemic.
  • Biden's own staff is admitting these higher prices are here to stay.
Gas, Groceries, Gifts. The RNC launched a new video exposing how Bidenflation is hurting families over the holidays.
 
FREEDOM: "WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?"
 
Your Freedoms: When asked this week about his unconstitutional vaccine mandate, Joe Biden lashed out at Americans not complying with his decree.
  • "So everyone talks about freedom and not to have a shot or a test... what's the big deal?"
  • This isn't the first time Biden has written off freedom: he previously said his vaccine mandates are "not about freedom."
  • Losing in court, Biden's comments come as his unconstitutional mandate is failing to pass legal tests.
More Democrat lockdowns and restrictions? Biden's team this week refused to rule out future lockdowns and restrictions.
  • Walking away: Biden was asked this week if he is responsible for coronavirus deaths and why he has not held the Chinese Communist Party accountable for the origins of COVID. His response? Biden smirked and waived the question off.
Broken Promises: Biden promised to "shut down the virus" and failed, so now he is threatening Americans' freedoms and refusing to take responsibility.
 
AS CRIME RATES SOAR, PELOSI PLAYS POSSUM
 
Democrat Nancy Pelosi acknowledged the "attitude of lawlessness in our country" but feigned ignorance about why this would be during a news conference this week.

The answer is obvious. Law enforcement has told us it's Democrats' "bad law and bad policy" that has increased crime throughout the country. Just look at a few of them: Silent Biden: Homicides are hitting all-time highs in Democrat-run cities and smash-and-grab thieves are targeting retailers. Still, Joe Biden refuses to act or even to condemn the crime spree.

His silence is inexcusable and the GOP will continue to hold him accountable.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE RNC!
 
After a difficult year for many Americans, this holiday season can be hard on families because of inflated prices and stretched resources due to failed Democrat leadership.

The Republican National Committee is doing what they can this holiday season to give back:
  • Charity drives to collect canned food items, toys for children, and writing letters and sending care packages to our troops serving overseas during the holiday season.
  • Some of these efforts have been held at RNC Community Centers, including Hispanic Community Centers in San Antonio, TX, and Doral, FL, and at Black Engagement Community Centers in College Park, GA, and Cleveland, OH.
With higher prices, empty store shelves, and worker shortages nationwide, the RNC continues to help those in need and remind all Americans from all backgrounds that they have a home in the Republican Party.

GOVERNOR ROY COOPER'S HANDPICKED NCSBE DIRECTOR CAUGHT IN ANOTHER BIG LIE AS MODEMS SECRETLY REMOVED FROM NC VOTING EQUIPMENT
 
December 14th

For Immediate Release

Election integrity is a top issue among North Carolina citizens concerned about vulnerabilities within our voting systems, and a handpicked political appointee of Governor Roy Cooper has just compounded that sense of distrust among the electorate. For months N.C. State Board of Elections Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell denied the existence of modems in North Carolina voting equipment and stonewalled requests from state legislators to inspect the voting equipment in question.

Now we lear Director Brinson Bell lied. Again.

After lying to a federal court and subsequently misleading the N.C. General Assembly, Director Brinson Bell continues to undermine election integrity as it is revealed modems were removed last month from in-use voting equipment in at least six NC counties. This revelation comes after months of Director Brinson Bell refusing to acknowledge the existence of modems in voting equipment and refusing inspection requests made by members of the N.C. House of Representatives.

The modems' existence, and their secret removal, came only after lawmakers made a public records request following reports of the clandestine removal of dozens of modems contained in voting equipment in Watauga County.

"We firmly believe that had the request for the documentation of the removal of modems not been made, Director Brinson Bell would have continued to deny their existence and would have hidden the fact that they were removing the modems from the voting equipment," said N.C. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Representative Keith Kidwell (R-Beaufort).

With voter confidence at historic lows, Director Brinson Bell's latest lie represents a critical third strike and destroys any remaining credibility she may have had to oversee elections in this state. Voters are demanding and deserve election integrity, yet all they've been getting from the most partisan State Board of Elections ever is deception and dishonesty.

How much more must the People of North Carolina endure before the Cooper administration is held accountable for collusion and lies such as these? North Carolina law provides that Director Brinson Bell can be "removed for cause" - what more cause could there be than lying to voters, legislators, and the public at large?
