Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has built a reputation for being very direct when answering questions. It doesn’t matter if it’s a supporter she meets on the campaign trail or a Democrat-friendly corporate journalist. They ask. She answers. She doesn’t mince words and she doesn’t deflect.
Her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, is the diametric opposite. If she were asked what color the sky is she’d answer it something like this: “Look, weather patterns and climate change have an impact on what appears in the sky at any given moment. Arizonans shouldn’t be forced to pick a color based on something arbitrary like what they see with their own eyes.”
In case you think that’s hyperbole, listen to her “answers” to very fair questions posed by CNN’s Dana Bash:
As Sundance over at The Conservative Treehouse noted, the interview was so bad CNN didn’t even publish a replay:
After CNN’s Dana Bash failed in her effort to make Arizona Republican Candidate Kari Lake look bad in an interview, Lake’s opponent Katie Hobbs came on the broadcast. The difference between professional Kari Lake and the up-talking nonsense of Katie Hobbs is stark.
This is the first time I have watched Ms. Hobbs during a broadcast election interview, and it does not come as a surprise to see CNN not upload the outcome onto their YouTube channel for additional attention and replay. Hobbs is a complete ideological idiot, and I don’t say that lightly. How this woman is even being considered to become a governor is beyond my comprehension.
The fact that Katie Hobbs refuses to debate is costing her votes. Many Democrats question the strategy, as Bash pointed out. But based on this interview alone, it’s understandable that she’d rather keep Arizonans in the dark rather than confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is incapable of winning such a debate regardless of the format. If she can’t even answer direct questions by Dana Bash, how could she hold her own on a stage opposite Lake? The answer is obvious. She couldn’t.
Joe Biden hid in the basement through much of his 2020 campaign, but EVEN HE was able to manage a debate. Hobbs can’t even do that.
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
Now we know why @katiehobbs won't debate @KariLake.@DanaBashCNN tried to get just one straight answer.
Should there be limits to abortion?
Why won't you debate Kari Lake?
Is Biden to blame for inflation?ZERO direct answers given.https://t.co/EczXug5tCq

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!

Covid variant BA.5 is spreading. It appears milder but much more contagious and evades natural immunity. Best to boost your immune system with new Z-Dtox and Z-Stack nutraceuticals from our dear friend, the late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko.
That is why they hate Trump. Ask a question. Get a straight answer. PERIOD. Lake is exactly what Arizona needs. Hobbs? How did a bumbling idiot get a job in any place?
No, no, no. I’ll tell you exactly why Katie Hobbs won’t debate, won’t come out from her basement, and won’t campaign at all. She’s the current AZ Sec. of State, as she was in 2020. She was at the root of the 2020 election fraud, and signed the fraudulent certification with RINO Gov. Doug Ducey simultaneously with election fraud witnesses STILL TESTIFYING before the state senate committee, in a spactacular split screen event! It worked so well in 2020, Katie Hobbs HAS to run for the governorship, confident she can defraud the elections again, and assign herself as AZ governor in 2022, JUST to keep her ashcan out of prison!! She doesn’t debate because in her head she doesn’t need to. Because she’s running the very election herself!!
Maybe it is just as simple as the age old adage…”Sometimes it’s better to be silent and thought of as dumb than to open your mouth and remove all doubt”
The woman is so stupid she doesn’t know she’s stupid.
What did she say? The interviewer looked dumbfounded the no answers were actually given. To her credit she asked decent questions and kept trying to get any kind of honest answer. Hobbs rambled on about nothing!
