I've come across several organizations involved in political aspects that still use gmail e-mail addresses and hosting linked to non-republican (or US) friendly companies. One of them even lists Ukraine as one of their main places of assets. Any suggestions on web hosting & email services that are A) US based B) has servers & equipment secured under non-cabal related entities? Seems to be hard to look at any without finding the "About" page of their team crawling with DS-related clouns (intentional misspelling...)

Why not host yourself?
Lots of local server farms out there. For minimal $/month they will rent a server and take care of any hardware maintenance when required. Many have triple power sources and multiple connections to the back bone so down time is rare.
If you don't know how to configure a Unix based server and email find a computer guy/gal to setup and maintain the software remotely.
This is probably the best direction. We've been made so dependent on so many things (my wife just today told me of middle age people who don't even know how to boil eggs). Part of this process is teaching ourselves and younger generations how to do things again as our educational system has been bent on not teaching kids anything but socialism & communism for a couple decades. Learning skills and fix it ourselves needs to be the new plan.
i now use GoDaddy but they are connected to google so............ I was using yahoo and their related services but they increased their pricing so high that is was ridiculous. had been with them for 20 yrs

After looking around, I'd recommend doing a search based on "<your state> based web hosting servers", as keeping with a smaller local company just seemed like the right way to go for multiple reasons. Thanks to all for the help.
The best site hosting experience we ( two people w different businesses here) have had is at Site Sell/ SBI https://www.sitesell.com/ They are very current, keeping up with evolving AI as one might desire, etc.
Thanks for the info, I'll take a look. From their about page:
"SiteSell Inc., a privately held Canadian-based company with a world-wide reputation on the Net, has achieved rapid growth due to its dedicated focus on helping small business owners and solo entrepreneurs build successful online businesses."
"Led by Founder and CEO Ken Evoy and President Allan B. Abrahams, SiteSell Inc. contracts 65 professionals worldwide, from the Canada, United States, Europe, Australia, Central America and South America."
I’ve been using Hostek.com for 15 years now. They are great to work with and are based out of Oklahoma. At least there when I started with them.
I always liked and used Hostmonster but I have no idea who owns them
