Susan Kokinda Notes Democrat Plan to Tear Down What Trump Builds

Politically and also in real terms, leftists don’t build anything of value. Instead, their focus is always to tear down the things built by others.  From monuments to ideas, leftists are destroyers.

After Tuesday’s midterms, the media says Trumpism is finished. Susan Kokinda looks at the next chapters of the color revolution playbook, and at how President Trump is already positioned to outflank them. In his November 5 message, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth names the “sacred cows” his department tore down, while three impeachment resolutions, including one from Rep. Thomas Massie, target him. Senate Democrats, led by Ron Wyden, want to repeal the Canada tariffs and take the tariff power away from the President, just as October’s jobs report shows 19,000 new manufacturing jobs. And at the Kennedy Space Center on November 6, President Trump laid out the other revolution: Artemis III, Americans back on the Moon, a nuclear-powered spacecraft for Mars, and a new U.S. Space Academy.

Laura Loomer was Paid to Tweet

Things clarify quickly when sunlight breaks through the shadows.

Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign and a political broker for online influence operations, first revealed the issue last week when he publicly stated he had paid Laura Loomer to generate content on her X account.

The Washington Post then followed up and interviewed four other people who provided receipts of payments made to Laura Loomer for her to promote content on social media.  Most intellectually honest observers of events already surmised the pay for influence was happening with Loomer, the reporting confirms it.

(WaPo) – The right-wing activist Laura Loomer has been paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments, according to a former campaign aide to President Donald Trump and three others familiar with the arrangements, shedding light on what they say is a business practice of one of the Trump administration’s most influential online firebrands.

The allegations were made by Alex Bruesewitz, an adviser to Trump’s 2024 campaign, and three other people who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Two of the three people said they had paid Loomer directly to post political messages on her X account, where she has 1.9 million followers. The third said they had overseen clients who paid her to post on the account. The three spoke on the condition of anonymity.

[…] Bank transaction emails and a wire transfer statement reviewed by The Washington Post appear to show four payments totaling more than $60,000 sent to Loomer and a Florida-based company registered in her name, King Breaker Media, since May of last year.

(MSM) – “Demand for labor is skyrocketing,” Kevin Hassett, director of President Trump’s National Economic Council, said in an interview, noting that not only was the jobs report strong, but initial jobless claims are also at their lowest since World War II, and more people are leaving their jobs because they have higher confidence in finding a new one.

The economy added 165,000 jobs in October, compared with expectations of around 70,000, as the unemployment rate edged down to 4.1%, compared with expectations of 4.2%. (more)
