Today is International Women's Day. As the only party that seems to know what a woman is — even without a biology degree — we'd like to take a moment to highlight some amazing Republican women who have made a significant impact in politics and beyond.
These women are pioneers, breaking barriers and inspiring others to achieve their dreams. Let's take a moment to recognize their accomplishments and celebrate their strength.
Kristi Noem
Noem is the first female governor of South Dakota. It has championed conservative values and defended individual freedoms, as seen in its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where it has kept businesses and schools open. Noem also advocated for the protection of women and girls by signing legislation to keep biological males out of women's sports.
Noem is on Donald Trump's short list of vice presidential candidates.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Speaking of vice presidential candidates, Sanders is actually the only one currently leading Noem in recent polls, though there hasn't been much chatter about her being on Trump's list.
Sanders is the first female governor of Arkansas. On her first day in office, she banned the phrase “LatinX” from official state correspondence. It also ordered a review of the teaching of critical race theory in Arkansas schools and forced a Chinese company to sell its farmland, citing concerns about “hostile foreign entities” operating in the state.
Last October, she signed an executive order described as taking a stand against “woke madness.” It has banned gender-neutral terms in all state government documents. Terms like “pregnant person” and “breastfeeding” are gone.
Virginia Fox
Throughout her time in Congress, Foxx established herself as an advocate for conservative values and helped lead national movements to reduce federal government spending and increase government oversight and accountability.
She is currently Chair of the House Education Committee and, at age 80, has represented North Carolina's 5th Congressional District for just 20 years.
But damn if that's not what popped into this author's mind when thinking of a powerful woman – Foxx, telling fellow Rep. Byron Donalds and the reporters around him: “Get off the damn elevator!”
Even Donalds got a chuckle out of that.
I don't know why I felt like I was in trouble, but Rep. Virginia Foxx just scolded us and Byron Donalds
Fox: “Stay away from the damn elevator.”
Donalds: “I love Virginia. With Virginia Foxx, you know where you stand.”Then someone joked: “Maybe she should be the speaker pic.twitter.com/n5MC9oG6qf

Marjorie Taylor Greene
Sure, some of her luster was lost when she hitched a wagon to ousted former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, but it would be impossible to overlook what a staunch conservative woman Greene (R-Ga.) has been since joining Congress.
Her strong stance on issues like border security, gun rights, and limited government resonates with many conservative women. Greene is clearly a strong advocate for traditional values and is not afraid to challenge the political establishment.
She was a driving force behind efforts to oust Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, an ultimately successful effort, by repeatedly forcing him to vote. Then, much like Foxx and Ha Persevere, there was this…

Lake Carey
Lake's background as a successful journalist and her ability to connect with people from all walks of life make her a respected and influential figure in the conservative movement.
She's Trump, basically, but perhaps a little more articulate about her arguments, while the former president likes to swing for the fences with his bold arguments and humorous anecdotes.
As for power, you do not get greater power than by refusing a bribe – even if this amount amounts to millions or “billions” – from the Republican establishment, because you feel that saving America is more important.
Here's the full audio. Listen to what's being said at 9:30! 😳
Carrie Lake: “I think you should announce this.”

“It's not about the money, it's about our country,” Lake said flatly when pressured to withdraw from politics.
Thank God that the conservative movement has actively involved these women. This International Women's Day, let's celebrate their achievements and continue to support women in leadership roles.
Because it relates to the country. It's about America.
It's time to support and share the sources you trust.
