The Washington State Republican Party’s (WSRP) Statement on Afghanistan
The Washington State Republican Party’s (WSRP) Chairman Caleb Heimlich has called for Governor Inslee to give asylum to our Afghan allies and others whose lives are now in jeopardy because of President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal of the U.S. military from Kabul. Read More.
Washington State Democrats Are Trying to Gerrymander Our State
The Washington State Republican Party (WSRP) released the following statement in response to the Washington State Redistricting Commission unveiling draft Legislative District maps:
“Democrats are trying to gerrymander our Legislative Districts and stop the voters from deciding elections. Republicans are working to give more voters a choice on election day,” said WSRP Chairman Caleb Heimlich. “The Democrat Commissioners’ draft redistricting maps are the definition of political hackery with the majority of seats drawn to be safe and keep Democrats in perpetual control. Voters deserve competitive districts, not gerrymandered franken-districts, and unlike the Washington State Democrats, we will not be retracting this statement.”
Washington State Republicans Endorse Tiffany Smiley for U.S. Senate
“This is an unprecedented action taken by the Washington State Republican Party, but Tiffany Smiley is an unprecedented candidate. We have a golden opportunity to change our state and country for the better by standing with Tiffany in her race to win this U.S. Senate seat,” said WSRP Chairman Caleb Heimlich. “In less than six months as a candidate Tiffany Smiley has shown her skills as a tireless champion for conservative ideals, a coalitions builder, and inspiring speaker at Republican events statewide. We are proud to endorse Tiffany, and we know with her skillset and passion, she will never stop fighting for Washingtonians.” Read more.

STREAM & READ
Free to Stream: The Hornet's Nest
With unprecedented coverage, award-winning conflict Journalist Mike Boettcher, and his son, Carlos, tell the story of an elite group of U.S. troops sent on a dangerous mission deep inside one of Afghanistan’s most hostile valleys. What started as a single-day strike turned into nine harrowing days of combat against an invisible, vicious enemy. Go with these journalists and American troops where no foreign troops have ever gone before. Movieguide calls this documentary “gripping” and “emotionally riveting.” The reviewer writes, “In an age where a multitude of documentaries focus on war crimes and scandals that many times slanders the large majority of American troops who have ethics and integrity, it’s highly encouraging to see a movie that highlights real heroism.”
This documentary contains strong language and extreme violence. View discretion is advised. Not recommended for children.
