Here is a list of our recent \u201cTurkey of the Year\u201d winners:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2014-Former Speaker of the House John Boehner<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2015-Former U.S. President Barack Obama<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2016-GOP Presidential Candidate John Kasich<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2017-Former New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2018-Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2019-House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2020-Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00b7 2021-U.S. President Joe Biden<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">These recent winners are true \u201cTurkeys\u201d in every sense of the word. Most of them are so insufferable that they are no longer in elected office today, having worn out their welcome in the world of politics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This year, as usual, we asked our viewers and listeners to submit their nominations for our 2022 \u201cTurkey of the Year\u201d committee to review. To say we were bombarded with worthy candidates is an understatement. It seems that 2022 was a particularly good year for \u201cTurkeys.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The list of potential winners was vast. Of course, the most likely winner would have been President Joe Biden, who defines the word \u201cTurkey\u201d in every sense. However, we have a rule on\u00a0<\/span><strong><em>Ringside Politics<\/em><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0that there can be no repeat winners, thus he was excluded from consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Along with President Biden, almost every member of his pathetic administration of liberal losers was seriously considered for the award. For example, Vice President Kamala Harris, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and FBI Director Christopher Wray, among others were excellent nominations who were definite \u201cTurkey of the Year\u201d contenders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On the local and state level, incompetent Governors such as Kathy Hochul of New York and Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, along with disastrous Mayors such as Lori Lightfoot of Chicago and LaToya Cantrell of New Orleans were also nominated. All these nominees are definite \u201cTurkeys.\u201d In a normal year, one of them may have won.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alas, there can only be one big winner and, in 2022, the person who distinguished herself as the biggest \u201cTurkey of the Year\u201d was U.S. Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY). In 2022, Cheney destroyed her political career by pursuing a misguided vendetta against President Donald Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cheney never liked Trump\u2019s focus on bringing home our troops, focusing on \u201cAmerica First\u201d and ending the unsuccessful twenty-year war in Afghanistan. In 2016, Trump ran on a platform of securing our southern border, building American jobs and industry, and ending our role as \u201cpoliceman of the world.\u201d He also wanted countries in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to pay their fair share for their military defense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, believed in the old neocon, globalist approach of the United States as a world leader with a robust military involvement overseas. This belief was criticized by Trump and his supporters, who labeled Cheney a \u201cwarmonger.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At one point in her career, Cheney was the third-ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives. By constantly attacking Trump, Cheney was eventually booted from that position. Thereafter, she became the Democrat&#8217;s favorite Republican for her unrelenting criticism of the former President.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It earned her plenty of derision in her \u201chome\u201d state of Wyoming. In the 2022 Republican primary in August, Cheney was destroyed by a truly conservative candidate, Harriet Hageman, by a whopping margin of 66-28%. It seems the voters in Wyoming agreed with President Trump about Liz Cheney\u2019s political beliefs. They wanted a representative for Wyoming, not the military-industrial complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Incredibly, Cheney\u2019s shellacking did not dampen her political ambitions. While she can no longer represent a conservative state like Wyoming, Cheney has turned her attention to a much bigger prize. She is considering launching a longshot bid for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024. While this is certainly exciting to the left-wing pundits on CNN and MSNBC, it is doubtful that many GOP primary voters will be interested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In a recent\u00a0<\/span><em>Politico-Morning Consult<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0poll, Trump leads the 2024 presidential nomination race with\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/3747776-trump-support-among-republicans-flat-since-announcing-reelection-bid-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">45%<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0support, followed by an array of other potential candidates. At the very bottom of the list is Congresswoman Liz Cheney with a mere\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/campaign\/3747776-trump-support-among-republicans-flat-since-announcing-reelection-bid-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2%<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0in the poll. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To catch Trump and the other Republican presidential contenders, Cheney will need a political miracle. However, in a few weeks, she will lose her platform as Wyoming Congresswoman and Vice Chairman of the January 6th Committee.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The committee established by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to investigate the events on January 6, 2021, is extremely partisan. It is composed of all Democrats and two never-Trump Republicans, Cheney, and U.S. Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead of impartially examining the protests in Washington D.C., which Democrats consider an \u201cinsurrection,\u201d and led to the U.S. Capitol being attacked, the committee\u2019s work has been politicized. Their only mission is to blame one person, President Trump, for the events on that day. They want to discredit him so much that he is either indicted or politically damaged and unable to run for President in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The January 6th committee has made no serious investigation into why there was not adequate security at the U.S. Capitol on that day. It has not released the hours of video footage that remain sealed to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Of course, Liz Cheney is the main reason the committee is fixated on Donald Trump. According to the\u00a0<\/span><em>Washington Post<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Cheney \u201chas exerted a remarkable level of control over much of the committee\u2019s public and private work.\u201d Her obsession with Trump has even upset\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/23\/liz-cheney-jan-6-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">15<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0of the partisan hacks involved in the committee\u2019s investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With her unhinged Trump hatred, her inability to understand the mood of the electorate, and her unrelenting desire to appease the liberal media, outgoing Congresswoman Liz Cheney is most deservedly our 2022\u00a0<\/span><strong><em>Ringside Politics<\/em><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0\u201cTurkey of the Year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Jeff Crouere<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u00a0is a native New Orleanian and his award-winning program,\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em>\u201cRingside Politics,\u201d<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u00a0airs Saturdays from Noon until 1 p.m. CT nationally on\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em>Real America&#8217;s Voice TV Network\u00a0<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>&#038;\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"http:\/\/americasvoice.news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AmericasVoice.News<\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u00a0and weekdays from 7-11 a.m. CT on\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em>WGSO 990-AM<\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>\u00a0&#038;\u00a0<\/em><\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wgso.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wgso.com<\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><em>.
