The Consolidation Strategy - Why Democrats Donate to Republicans
Sample Polls provided to explain the strategy Last used in the US Senate race between Adam Schiff and Katie Porter, candidate Steve Garvey was the pawn used to 'box out' a competitive Democrat candidate, Katie Porter, so that the top Democrat handlers could guarantee their preferred candidate, Adam Schiff, made the general election ballot; and so the game continues. Fast forward to the 2026 governor's race. Democrats are using that same strategy, but this time it's to box out

He later found his voice — and some quick math skills — as a fair livestock auctioneer. Then he was invited to serve on the Fair Board. And now as a county supervisor, he helps appoint others to a leadership

McDaniel says he’s delivering progress for local residents
The Merced County Board of Supervisors, and the county executive officer, begin 2026 with a goal of bridging the gap between government and local residents by “telling our story more effectively.” So it was only fitting last month when Board Chairman Daron McDaniel gave an opening address during the first-ever State of the County event at the Merced Theatre.

As America nears its 250th birthday, one truth can no longer be ignored: this nation was founded as a Christian republic. Through the communist tactic of gradualism - incremental subversion disguised as “progress” - that Christian foundation has been deliberately eroded, above all through our immigration system.
