The Arkansas Times just lit Sarah 3 names, the professional liar, turned govenor up and she is burning.

Sanders attacks the press, bombs out at missile-making jobs announcement (Title)

If you still think you’re entitled to answers about the governor’s $19K lectern purchase and the murky paper trail around it, you’re wasting my time. Such was Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders‘ dubious message Thursday, like a snarl and swipe from a wounded brute backed into a corner.

Sanders had representatives from defense contractor RTX, formerly called Raytheon Technologies, at the Capitol to trumpet an expansion of their East Camden operations. No, she didn’t use the new high-dollar lectern, and yes, she does mind us asking.

A new $33 million facility will create 30 new jobs to crank out missiles for Israel’s Iron Dome and a similar U.S. system, the SkyHunter® missile. The first batch won’t roll off conveyor belts until 2025, but that didn’t stop Sanders and the defense contractors from throwing a huzzah to Israel and yawping Arkansas’s hawkish swagger.

Podiumgate is the elephant in the room, and it’s sticking around — even after Sanders went to Mena and Bentonville to offer upbeat proclamations and put in some folksy face time. It lumbered along to homecoming weekend at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff on Saturday, where she was loudly and decisively booed.

A buffalo recently joined that pesky elephant, thanks to first gent Bryan Sanders’ bromance with Steuart Walton and Tom Walton, the third-generation Walmart heirs. The trio’s plans to yuppify and monetize the Buffalo River are bombing fantastically with locals in the Ozarks, who seem to like things fine the way they are. A small distraction maybe, but not one helpful to the governor.

Sanders’ efforts to boost her sagging poll numbers don’t seem to be panning out. Hundreds of people packed into a town hall meeting in Jasper Thursday night to fend off the first gent’s seemingly unwanted advance to glow up their river for fun and profit.

And Blue Hog blogger Matt Campbell, whose tabloid gossip and dives down FOIA rabbit holes were substantive enough to convince a pack of Republican state lawmakers to greenlight an audit into Sanders’ lectern purchase? His business plan seems to be working just fine.
