Alaska Republicans are calling on the Kentucky GOP to formally censure Sen. Mitch McConnell for the bluegrass senators interference in the Alaskan Senate contest against the party-endorsed candidate.

On Thursday, the Alaskan Republican Partys District 9 central committee passed a resolution to condemn the Senate minority leaders spending on behalf of Sen. Lisa Murkowski. The incumbent senator running for a fourth full term in the upper chamber is locked in a tight contest against Donald Trump-backed challenger Kelly Tshibaka, who is also endorsed by the Alaskan Republican Party.

McConnells super PAC to reclaim the majority, the Senate Leadership Fund, is spending heavily in the race between two Republicans, which the latest polls show is a tied match. According to the Anchorage Daily News, McConnells political operation has poured more than $7 million into the Alaskan contest instead of using that money towards ripe pick-up opportunities in Nevada and Arizona.

We request the Senate Leadership Fund immediately stop the attack ads against Kelly Tshibaka and discontinue all support of Senator Murkowski, District 9 Republicans demanded. Their resolution went on to demand Kentucky GOP leadership censure their senator for meddling in Alaskas party affairs while the minority leader abandons efforts at capturing the majority.

We request the Republican Party of Kentucky leadership act against Senator Mitch McConnell for his inappropriate behavior against Alaska Republicans and Republican endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka, the Alaska Republicans wrote.

Alaskas District 9 committee based in Anchorage is the second state party group to admonish the Kentucky lawmakers interference, according to Must Read Alaska columnist Suzanne Downing.

The first was District 6, a Homer-area subdivision of the Alaska GOP, Downing wrote.

In September, McConnells PAC reinjected money into the Alaska Senate contest after initially canceling $1.7 million alongside $8 million stripped from Republican Arizona Senate nominee Blake Masters. McConnell later pulled another $10 million from the Arizona race, leaving the Republican candidate abandoned by the primary super PAC charged with reclaiming the upper chamber.

Both Masters and Tshibaka have pledged not to support McConnell for another term in GOP leadership.

The decision to spend scarce resources on an ally in Alaska instead of a tight race in Arizona to bring down a Democrat incumbent drew criticism from former President Donald Trump on Monday.

Kelly Tshibaka is doing very well in Alaska, probably leading horrendously bad Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican (barely!), Trump wrote.

According to the latest aggregate of surveys from RealClearPolitics, which are often manipulated to fit pre-determined narratives, the Arizona Senate race remains a five-point race.

Alaska Republicans Call On Kentucky GOP To Censure McConnell

Yahoo! Finance not only thinks that killing off babies in the womb is a solution for diaper poverty in the U.S. but also says Americans nappy woes should be blamed on pregnancy centers.

With the headline America is facing a diaper crisis, and the anti-abortion movement is making it worse, the articles author, Senior EditorSandra Salathe, alleges that Roughly one-third of U.S. families are unable to afford diapers necessary to keep their babies dry and clean.

Salathe neglects to mention that diaper prices, among other baby items such as formula, have been severely impacted by climbing inflation and the ongoing supply chain crisis under President Joe Biden. Instead, she says that pregnancy centers are somehow responsible for the physical, mental, and economic stress that families endure trying to keep their babies diapered.

The coronavirus pandemic has played a heavy role in this crisis, and as households seek help from nonprofit organizations, anti-abortion centers (AACs) may be misrepresenting the extent of their services, Salathe writes.

Using information fed to her by the leftist, pro-abortion activist group Equity Forward, Salathe amplifies claims that Heartbeat International, a Christian network of pro-life resource organizations, and the more than 3,000 lifesaving pregnancy centers in the U.S. are using their donations and public funding to pay for the upkeep of their services instead of helping vulnerable members of their community.

Never mind that amajority of votersfavor public funding for pregnancy centers and that it is abortion facilities like Planned Parenthood that are more focused on giving out sex books and harmful abortion drugs than diapering babies they think should be dismembered in the womb.

Neither the articles author nor Equity Forward disputes the fact that Heartbeat International and other pro-life organizations distributed 1.2 million packs of diapers to babies in need in 2019. Instead, Salathe and Equity Forward Director Ashley Underwood take issue with the fact that the same pregnancy centers they want investigated and shut down for human rights violations (how ironic) arent always equipped to provide baby supplies to 100 percent of the families that walk through their doors.

Nationwide pregnancy centers serve close to 2 million people annually by offering hundreds of millions of dollars worth of free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, counseling, care from licensed medical professionals, STD testing, and, yes, material items for babies and mothers such as diapers. That number is likely to increase in pro-life states where more women will be carrying their babies to term thanks to abortion bans.

There are more than 2,500 pregnancy centers in the U.S. that offer items like diapers to people in need yet the corporate media, Hollywood, the nations largest abortion provider Planned Parenthood, and Democrats call these organizations efforts to aid mothers and babies deceptive, emotionally manipulative, fake, and disinformation.

There is no doubt that the coordinated effort to downplay the important work of pro-life advocates and doctors in favor of abortion extremism is furthered by the corporate media. Salathes article in Yahoo! Finance proves to be no exception.

Yahoo: Baby-Saving Pregnancy Centers Worsen Diaper Shortage

Shortly after Pennsylvanias acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapmantold countiesthat they should ignore election law and a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively said mail-in ballots without proper dates cant be counted, the Republican National Committee announced a lawsuit against the Commonwealth.

As The Federalist previouslyreported, the U.S. Supreme Court overruled a 3rdCircuit Court decision validating undated mail-in ballots. The high court vacated the lower courts ruling, meaning the 3rdCircuits decision can no longer act as precedent in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey the states under the lower courts jurisdiction.

But Chapman decided the Supreme Courts decision provides no justification for counties to exclude ballots based on a minor omission, and we expect that counties will continue to comply with their obligation to count all legal votes. In other words, Chapman advised all of Pennsylvanias 67 counties to continue counting undated mail-in ballots if they so choose, creating countless inconsistencies in how ballots will be tabulated in the upcoming midterm election.

The RNCs joint lawsuit with the Pennsylvania GOP and the National Republican Congressional Committeearguesthat undated mail-in ballots should not be counted because Pennsylvania state law requires voters to properly date their ballots, while also noting that the court has previously affirmed the dating requirement.The RNC has asked the state Supreme Court to order counties to segregate undated and dated ballots if nothing else.

As the Pennsylvania legislature and U.S. Supreme Court have made clear, undated mail-in ballots should not be counted, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a press release. This lawsuit is the latest step in Republican efforts to promote free, fair, and transparent elections in the Keystone State.

Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) hasalso fileda petition with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court on behalf of several voters concerned about Chapmans insistence on counting faulty mail-in ballots.

The law of the Commonwealth is clear that undated and incorrectly dated mail-in ballots must not be counted. And after the U.S. Supreme Courts actions last week, no federal law says otherwise, RITE President and CEO Derek Lyons said in a statement. When voters cast a ballot, they should be confident that election officials are protecting the integrity of elections, not abusing their discretion to chase partisan outcomes.
