Trump Campaign Wastes Donations on Broadcasting Ads Targeted at Mar-a-Lago

Newsweek: George Conway, a conservative attorney and critic of former President Donald Trump, is targeting the Republican nominee in his own neighborhood with a six-figure attack.

Conway’s Anti-Psychopath PAC launched a new ad campaign on Thursday that will highlight Trump’s “mental unfitness for office.” It will run for two weeks on Fox News, ESPN, and the Golf Channel around Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago.

The 60-second cable TV ad begins with Conway telling the viewer, “Donald Trump has never, ever been right in the head,” before showing a montage of the former president superimposed onto an image of Trump’s brain.

“Donald Trump wanted to make this election all about mental fitness,” George Conway said in a press release. “We’re good with that. Even before he began showing age-related cognitive decline, Trump had a long history of doing and saying bizarre things.”

Now the Trump campaign is responding by counterprogramming Conway’s ad and, like his Anti-Psychopath PAC ad, the pro-Trump ad will only be shown around Trump’s residence.

Uncovered: MAGA Extremist Candidate for NC School Chief’s Treasonous Jan 6 Video

ABC 11: Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee to run K-12 public education in North Carolina, filmed a video after attending the January 6 riot at the US Capitol urging then-President Donald Trump to put “the Constitution to the side” and use the military to stay in power. In a deleted Facebook livestream she filmed from her hotel room, Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election.

Here’s part of what she said:

Ron Versus Debby

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepares for the storm. (Pensito Illustration)

Today Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 24-176, placing 54 Florida counties under a state of emergency, including Hillsborough County, where I live. A tropical wave, named Invest 97L, could become Tropical Storm Debby over the next 36 to 48 hours and veer up Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Gov. Ron is grandstanding (again). He’s trying to deflect attention away from his latest embarrassing “Stop Woke” loss in federal court and the growing media focus on his cruel and cynical mini-Project 2025 experiments on the Free State of Florida.

As a native Floridian and veteran of numerous storms, it seems to me to be a bit premature to start pulling on the white high-heeled shrimp boots, but I think Ron’s afraid of getting caught unprepared for what looks to be a rather large, wet, but (hopefully) not awful storm.

And it’s easier to declare a nearly statewide state of emergency than it is to head off a double-digit rate hike by Citizens Property Insurance, the state’s insurer of last resort for over 1.2 million policies.

Thanks, Ron. I almost forgot about all the book banning and climate change–denying you are doing for five seconds.

Off to the liquor store for hurricane supplies …
