Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be visiting the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley on Sunday, but he has not received the warmest welcome by at least one vandal. According to the Simi Valley Police Department, library employees spotted graffiti on one of the library’s entrance signs around 7:30 a.m. Sunday morning, hours before DeSantis was scheduled to appear to promote his new book. Library staff were able to clean up the graffiti before the Florida governor’s high-profile visit.

(SIMI VALLEY, Calif.) Florida’s Republican governor is scheduled to speak at the Reagan Library March 5 as the special guest of the Reagan Foundation and Institute as part of his tour to promote his book “The Courage to be Free: Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival,” set to drop February 28th. Florida’s 46th chief executive, Gov. Ronald D. DeSantis (R-Fla.), is coming off his landslide 2022 reelection when he beat Democrat Charles Crist by nearly 20 points and has become an increasingly national figure. “In The Courage to Be Free, special guest Governor DeSantis delivers something rare from an elected leader:...

Congresswoman and January 6 committee Vice-Chair Liz Cheney earned sustained applause for a blistering chunk of her Reagan Library speech devoted to tearing former President Donald Trump to bits over the attack on the Capitol. On Wednesday night, Cheney delivered a speech entitled “A Time for Choosing with Liz Cheney” that was designed to celebrate the late former president who inspired that title, Ronald Reagan. As he introduced Cheney, who has been the public-facing ramrod of the January 6 hearings, The Reagan Institute’s Roger Zakheim warned “we received word that there may be folks here tonight who intend to disrupt...

CA GOP Congresswoman candidate Matt Jacobs happily being introduced to the crowd at Liz Cheney's speech at the Reagan Library. Video clip below. I'm still nauseated. https://m.youtube.com/clip/UgkxA_D3X587UeaumplFWxSkP_HyZCe5X_GT Yes, it's Matt Jacobs, our GOP nominee for the Congressional district that covers the Reagan Library. I'm so disappointed. His smiling presence here is a slap in the face to every single one of his hard-working volunteers and staff.

Liz Cheney spoke at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California and condemned Donald Trump and the MAGA movement in the GOP saying you can’t support Trump and the United States Constitution. Liz Cheney received a standing ovation from the Republican crowd.

As Donald Trump hopes to be celebrating the victory of his endorsed Senate candidate in Ohio’s Republican primary, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan will be across the country delivering a blistering speech urging the GOP to shun the former president and choose new leadership. This split-screen scenario offers a preview of a 2024 White House primary that could include Hogan. [cut] This is not Hogan’s first rodeo for the Reagan library. Indeed, soon after Trump’s defeat at the hands of now-President Joe Biden in the 2020 election, the governor appeared at an event in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the institution. Channeling...

Wednesday brought the distrubing and sad news that wildfires were threatening the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Southern California. Well, it was sad news to most people. But that didn’t stop a few prominent liberals in and out of the media from either gloating or blaming conservative inaction on global warming. Philadelphia Inquirer columnist and occasional CNN guest Will Bunch used the dangerous fire as an opportunity to hype his anti-Reagan book and to tout this as a what-goes-around-comes-around type situation:

A wind-whipped outbreak of wildfires outside Los Angeles on Wednesday threatened thousands of homes and horse ranches, forced the smoky evacuation of elderly patients in wheelchairs and narrowly bypassed the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, protected in part by a buffer zone chewed by goats. With California tinder dry and fires burning in both the north and south, the state was at the mercy of gusty winds, on high alert for any new flames that could run wild, and weary from intentional blackouts aimed at preventing power lines from sparking more destruction. The blaze near the Reagan library in Simi Valley...

A fast-moving brush fire that was touched off early Wednesday burned its way to about a hundred yards from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum, forcing evacuations in the area. Police and fire vehicles could be seen surrounding the library compound in the morning, and helicopters flew low overhead, dropping water and fire retardant on the flames. Heavy winds gusting to more than 60 miles an hour made it difficult to walk at times, and tumbled over museum signs that had been weighted with sandbags. The blaze, named the Easy fire, grew quickly to cover 972 acres — doubling...

"Old" School Reagan Republican here. My 99 year old grandmother mentioned she'd like to go see the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Museum. I've never been, she's never been. We're going. So, if you've been there....what is Must See? Genghis Khan. Then what. Me and gramma talk politics quite a bit. We both leave the conversation laughing. Where should I push her to after Genghis Khan? 99. Thank You.

Here’s my 10-minute summary of the CNN Republican debate (which should have been renamed the CNN-Pssst-did-you-hear-that-nasty-thing-one-Republican-said-about-another-Republican debate):The Winners: Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina were the two standouts in Wednesday’s debate.Rubio brought an appealing mix of the common touch and tough talk on foreign policy to the debate stage. Unlike some other candidates, he didn’t seem like he was elbowing his way into the debate, so it “felt” like he was a featured speaker. He sounded like the grownup in the room when he tussled with Trump on foreign policy. Trump grimaced and rolled his eyes, but offered no substantive...
