Column #468        August 16, 2024Rogues' Gallery

This past week Linda and I attended the Phyllis Schlafly Eagle’s presentation at Trump’s National Golf Club Bedminster. It was also a special celebration for what would have been the 100th birthday of the founder! The program had an interesting lineup of speakers starting with the featured speaker Mike Lindell—famous for making pillows and more famous for being an election denier.1 2 3

Since I didn’t know the stories behind many of the speakers, I searched online for more info—hopefully their bios. What I discovered is that Phyllis Schlafly’s speakers are what the major search engines, the Democratic Party, most university eggheads, and the MSM consider traitors! Link after link indicated these people are despicable, lowlife, deplorables, election deniers, convicted felons, embezzlers, threats to democracy, and just simply weird folks. All of them must be either on the FBI’s most wanted posters, out on parole, and for sure on the nation’s no-fly list.

So, before I had a chance to hear their personal stories, here was what I found out.

Mike Crispi is an experienced talk show host, TV reporter, businessman, and political activist. He’s currently the host of “Mike Crispi Unafraid,” a syndicated program with the Salem Podcast Network, Frank Speech, and LFA TV. Crispi's daily broadcast is one of Rumble’s most popular  live streams.

In 2024 Mike was chosen by the Trump Campaign as  a Statewide New Jersey Delegate to the Republican National Convention. He was also chosen to be the lead-off speaker on stage at President Trump's Wildwood, New Jersey rally that was attended by 100,000 people. President Trump publicly commended Crispi for his performance and showed support of his 'big plans for the future.'

Sherronna Bishop is famous for having her house searched by the FBI on Nov. 16, 2021. Colorado authorities and warrants for the search indicated that search was related to an investigation into a breach of election systems in Mesa County, CO. There is no evidence to support the claim she was singled out because of her protests—either against a school board or elections.

Bishop is a controversial figure, as evidenced by an October 2020 post about an ABC News report divulging that she'd praised the far-right, neo-fascist group the Proud Boys in a Facebook video in 2019. That post also showed a quote from Boebert during a May 2020 appearance on a "QAnon-friendly podcast," according to ABC. "Everything that I've heard of Q, I hope that this is real," Boebert had said. "Because it only means that America is getting stronger and better, and people are returning to conservative values."

Cynthia Hughes is a leader of a support group for Jan6 defendants. She is a leading advocate for what she calls the patriots—people charged in connection with the violent attack on the Capitol and founder of The Patriot Freedom Project a charity. Some sources claimed she embezzled funds from her charity.

Pro-Trump lawyer Paul Ingrassia, who graduated from Cornell Law School in 2022, became notorious for his Substack post (a conspiracy-peddling website) exploring birther allegations against Nikki Haley that have been declared false.

Jeffrey Clark is the former Trump administration official who sought to use the Justice Department to aid Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Clark had endeared himself to the embattled president as he attempted to leverage his senior role at the Justice Department to help Trump overturn the election results and undermine public trust. Clark violated Justice Department policy by speaking directly with the former president multiple times.

Dr. Theodore Roosevelt Malloch is an international expert on governance, strategy, and business. A former Professor and Senior Fellow in Management Practice at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School and Henley Business School, Dr. Malloch previously served as a Research Professor at Yale University. Dr. Malloch has traveled to 147 countries and worked at the CEO and Head of State/Government level with a wide range of country and corporate clients.

The Financial Times reported that legal papers they obtained reveal Dr. Malloch and his wife Beth filed for bankruptcy in 2013. But two US banks refused to let outstanding debts of $5.9m be written off, arguing that the couple had falsely represented their assets when applying for loans. In other news he claims to being a decedent of President Theodore Roosevelt, as repeated claimed by right-wing publications such as Breitbart, all of which is considered false. Birth records analyzed by the FT cast doubt on the genealogical link.

Mr. Malloch said the relationship was through his father, Theodore Roosevelt Malloch, who was born in Philadelphia in 1921. Malloch Senior’s obituary does not mention any link to President Roosevelt, who died two years before he was born.

John Schlafly, the gay son of anti-LGBTQ activist Phyllis Schlafly caused quite a stir when he came out as gay in 1992. He still supports his mother's anti-ERA and pro-Trump views. He is the director of her Eagle Forum and the writer of her newsletter, “The Phyllis Report.”

John Charles Eastman is an American lawyer and academic. Due to his efforts to overturn the 2020 United States presidential election, attempting to keep then-president Donald Trump in office and obstruct the certification of Joe Biden'S victory, he has been criminally indicted.

Domini Tarczyński explains that both Poland and Europe need the strength and support of President Trump and his common sense policies. Dominik Tarczyński is a Polish politician and journalist, who has served as Member of the European Parliament (MEP) since 2020 and was a member of the Sejm (MP) from 2015 to 2020.

Edward Robert Martin Jr. is an American politician and attorney from the state of Missouri. He is president of Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. Martin was terminated from his role as CNN contributor in January 2018. A Republican, Martin served as chief of staff for Governor Matt Blunt from 2006 until November 2007. Martin, who was hired by the RNC in May, pushed to overturn Donald Trump's 2020 loss and marched outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Ed Martin, a former chair of the Missouri Republican Party, was a major proponent of former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. He gave a speech to Trump supporters in Washington on the eve of the Capitol attack, calling on “die-hard true Americans” to work until their “last breath” to “stop the steal,” according to video posted on social media.

Of course, Trump could also make a brief appearance and he’s a famous Jan6 instigator, election denier, convicted felon, enemy of democracy, and many other despicable titles that have been awarded him by the major search engines, the Democratic Party, most university eggheads, the MSM, and hard line leftists such as Harris, Walz, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, and other “supposedly-true patriots.”

As you can see, the MSM has a way to discredit folks and keep the rabid leftist radicals foaming at the mouth about them.

Next week I’ll report on what these “thugs” had to say. Because of time restraints and travel this column was prepared in advance. So next week will be the rest of the story.

To your health.
