Navy veteran Latham Saddler announced a challenge to U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock on Thursday with hopes of emphasizing his military experience to appeal to conservatives in what’s likely to be a crowded Republican primary.
Saddler, a banking executive and former Trump White House official, unveiled his campaign with a video that highlights his background as a Navy SEAL and a former aide on the National Security Council.
“I will put Georgia first and keep America first,” he said. “I will not back down in the face of our enemies who seek to destroy us, or from those among us who seek to divide us. I’ll fight for you with honor, hard work, respect and resilience. Because that’s the American Way.”
Republican Latham Saddler announces U.S. Senate bid
Republican Latham Saddler says he will run for U.S. Senate in 2022.
ATLANTA - A second Republican has officially entered the 2022 race to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate.
Latham Saddler announced his candidacy Thursday with the launch of a campaign video and website. The answer to why I m running for United States Senate is pretty simple, Saddler explained. I just love this state and I love this country to its core.
Saddler is a Georgia native and a U.S. Navy veteran, who entered the military after 9/11. He served in the Trump White House as Director of Intelligence Programs on the National Security Council.

He has also been a White House fellow in the White House Office of Economic Initiatives. His campaign site says in that role he worked on the First Step Act criminal justice reform legislation signed into law by former President Donald Trump in 2018. Americans are fighting with each other here at home, and our country is being undermined from within by a broken political system lacking authentic leadership. That’s not the American Way, Saddler said in a statement. We are a caring and courageous people. And we deserve better. Raising my two sons here in Georgia has only strengthened my resolve to lead and serve. I will not stand by waiting for someone else to do the work required.”

Formally introducing his cabinet to the public, Joe Biden proudly declared: “This is the first [time] in American history that the Cabinet looks like America.” Looking at the actual appointments and not just the gender, skin color and ethnic origins of the Biden team, it is a team that may look like America but doesn’t
think like America. In fact, it is a team whose outlook is
anti-American. Take Biden’s Vice Presidential choice,
Kamala Harris, whose antipathy for America oozes from her every pore. At a February 2019 presidential campaign stop, for example she said Columbus Day should be replaced with “Indigenous People’s Day” because “we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country.” This is an accurate summary of the way the Biden White House views its native land, and it is a view encapsulating three big lies.
The US State Department released a video from spokesman Ned Price saluting the contributions Arabs Americans have made in honor of the nation’s annual Arab American Heritage Month which began April 1.
Although only 27 of the country’s 50 states recognize the month saluting Arab American culture, Illinois has codified the annual commemoration in a law adopted in 2018 and while the governor’s and legislatures in many states approved resolutions and proclamations recognizing Arab American heritage.
Arab Americans first arrived in America during the 17th century and have served the country in the US military including during the Civil War in 1860, World Wars I and II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and the recent wars in Iraq and Syria.
