Everyone here knows my inherent dislike for CPAC in general. Too stuffy, too corporate, too much establishment politicking and not scruffy and scrappy enough – except when Andrew was there. That said, it’s cool that James O’Keefe will be attending CPAC because it gives the attendees an opportunity to boost him up, show the resounding support he has from the regulars -outside corporate stuff- and charge up O’Keefe’s internal warrior energy. Good stuff.
Matt Schlapp made the announcement on Steve Bannon’s War Room earlier today {Direct Rumble Link} – WATCH:
.
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” CTH Stands With O’Keefe!
GREAT Combo … O’Keefe and Trump!!!
AGREE!!
I hope PTrump and James get together during CPAC.
Just my opinion, I think a pep talk from our Lion would be ‘just the ticket’ for James.
And VISA VERSA, from James to Trump and Don Jr, and Eric, and also Bobby Jr as well- and Mike Lindell, Clay Clark, Kari Lake, and see that they get a chance for some good healthy Strategizing, giving eachother some Great Ideas and Encouragment, all around.
Would love to see the Robins and Julie Green, and Dave Scarlett there to pray over that bunch of Fine People.
That would be so Awesome!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if President TRUMP made a donation to James’ new venture.
FYI, James knows exactly what events PV is going to be at. My guess is that he will dog every event like the hound that he is.
Matt will need to add an extra straw poll on who was most popular, James or PV w/o James.
Whoo- hoo!
THE VERY BEST!
It is great to know those two will have a Rightful Place at the Podium.
Also PRAYING for Kari Lake to see The Right Breakthrough for the Truth and the Arizona Citizens of America.
I really want to see her Clean House in Arizona, and PRAY it has an Over-Arching Effect in my Beautiful Home State of Texas!!!
One of the few remaining “journalists.”
This is a classic case of the big club attempting to silence opposition which will backfire on them. To bad the big club won’t risk Rhonda and Judus getting boo’d off the stage. Between PDT & James O’Keefe having the full attention of the CPAC attendees, they could set the big club’s plans back a few notches.
I would have enjoyed the Sight of THAT!
Sorry my American cousins and patriots – what is cpac?
Thanks
Conservative Political Action Committee. Definition and purpose of a PAC: https://ballotpedia.org/Political_action_committee .
The Conservative Political Action Conference is the largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world. Launched in 1974, CPAC brings together hundreds of conservative organizations, thousands of activists, millions of viewers and the best and brightest leaders in the world. https://www.conservative.org/cpac/
Annual convention this coming weekend. Sundance has it right, although Our President will be there along with O’Keefe. Here’s the speaker’s roster so far: https://www.newsweek.com/cpac-2023-speakers-schedule-trump-1784074
Not one person on that list I would like to see, w/the exception of O’Keefe and Trump.
Thank you guys, may the good lord look down on your CPAC and all who sail in her.
The conference where Rush Limbaugh – El Rushbo – gave his first national address….
I wuz there!!
I didn’t attend, but have the coolest memory of it. I was running like crazy in those days, and I remember it was a snowy, slushy Saturday when Rush spoke. I ran 20 miles that day, and after running a lap around the mall and then over through Arlington Cemetery I crossed Key Bridge into Georgetown right as Rush was speaking, and literally EVERY bar on M Street had their TVs tuned to Rush, and people everywhere were just standing and watching the speech. Good times good times!
awwww
I’m looking forward to Putin’s speech.
?
He’s hoping that the line-up will include more honest and forthright politicians than the run of the mill republicans.
As in trump and britebart are a good start, but he’s hoping that there might be more on the panel who don’t hate the American people.
Now that’s funny!
Ha Ha! I love Putin’s speeches.
Awesome!
Betcha James includes his phizer story; as he should.
Prayers!
Correct.
St Michael The Archangel surround CPAC with your Angels … keep those good people safe from the evil that is slithering all over God’s Beautiful Creation. Amen.
Mary will crush the head of the serpent.
You may want to check the Bible on that one…
Gabriel and Raphael complete the heavenly triad.
Trump and O’Keefe will give speeches….
DeSantis and Pence will not attend.
*******
DeSantis, Pence will not attend CPAC 2023—Trump to give keynote speech
Excerpt:
DeSantis, who spoke at last year’s conference in Orlando, Florida, reportedly has “other plans” and will not be attending…
…Sources told ABC News that Pence has declined an invitation to the conference.

<DeSantis, who spoke at last year’s conference in Orlando, Florida, reportedly has “other plans” and will not be attending…>
‘Other plans’ 🙂
Good news him and Pence are not coming. If they were to attend it would show what little support they have with conservatives. I am with Sundance I am not a bog fan of CPAC and that has only worsened with the current allegations of the leader of CPAC.
Personally I think the allegations against the Shlapps were made up to take them down.
I seem to recall that a couple of years ago, there was a “disinvitation” made by CPAC and its honchos that gave me a reason to question how “independent” they were from GOPe…..and it was clear that they were nothing but a bunch of butt boys to the establishment.
Let’s face it….James will draw a crowd as will DJT and that means ticket sales through the roof.
They kicked out people like Pamela Geller, no islam speak allowed.
Ditto.
Yes, he wants to figure out what to do to screw Trump and MAGA in order to ensure that the GOP remains part of the Uniparty!
BookCampaign tour.Yeah… he knows he’s not welcome. People know what’s up with him though many still do not want to talk about it.
Dan Bongino, troublingly, will not talk about DeSantis any more. With every new swampy development additionally confirming DeSantis’s true roots, nature and loyalty, his rebranding effort is doomed to fail.
I don’t care HOW much good you do in public. If you are loyal to the DEVIL, you’re going to hell!
How fitting.
JUDASpence would be booooed out of the State !!!
The people who we have the opportunity to vote for in the Republican party are mainly types like pence and the types of pences who have thus far kept their power dry and are hoping for the time that they can do our children and grandchildren great harm.
That RSD and Pence won’t attend CPAC gives off bad vibes. The influencers behind those two (or one ha) have to be wondering if this will hurt their ‘influence’ with low info fence sitter Repubs.
🤣
For all their smarts these strategerists are quite stupid.
By not attending, DeSantis projects weakness. He’ll never be able to stand up against China and Iran. A truly bad look.
DeSantis can not stand up to the people here going after Trump by raiding his home in DeSantis’ own state. So there’s no way he could stand up to the dems in D.C. let alone Iran and China
Good News!
Hope he announces a new gig!!
Project Veritas left him, not the other way around.
Let’s see in 6 months who is getting more donations.
So Schlapp actually has some small usefulness to the conservative movement. How unexpected.
Good news. Will watch his speech.
Cool. Get’em James.
Great picture with Andrew.
God Bless James O’Keefe! Since the days of exposing Acorn in 2007/8!
Indeed. Uncommon courage. But to be honest, there are some people who don’t feel like they are driving unless they are passing all other cars — they feel like they are standing still otherwise. James O’Keefe is just such a guy — he’s not reporting on things unless he is breaking the most important stories of our time.
It’s what drives him. So is that courage or is it something else?
Every strength is a weakness. Every weakness is a strength (to some degree) Whatever it is about O’Keefe, it’s certainly true that he can’t be happy unless he’s doing the work that we currently call Project Veritas.
That is BS.
I could expand, I love to be prolific. But this comment is too insulting for words.
Some people just simply cannot stand to see a Desperately-NEEDED job get done, and when it goes Lacking, because everyone else is too scared to do it, some Rare Breeds do it, because they cannot stand by and Not Help, NOT do Anything.
And they will do the Job because there IS no one else..
It isn’t right to BS these kinds of people.
Yes Red. He was and called on others to be “citizen journalists” because MSM wasn’t doing their job for us. His modus operandi has not changed. 👍🏼
Amen!
He can’t not do what he does. He’s driven and motivated and it makes him happy when he does. There’s no doubt about it or the integrity in what he does. And while he absolutely inspired others to join, he is 1 in 100 million at least. Why is there only one Project Veritas? Why is there only one Judicial Watch? Because the personal drive required to do these things is incredibly rare.
It takes TRUMP, for example, to get the USA back on track and to be great again. I don’t know who else has the [fill in the blank] to do it.
It’s a rare quality and defies definition.
Great comment. So true. I had the privilege of meeting James O’Keefe in 2011. He was 100 percent serious, driven and devoid of any pretense. Also, extremely kind. Seems true dedication, genuineness and courage go together.
THAT is what I am getting at, THAT is why James reminds me of my dad even though the Kind of WORK was Not in the least bit related. My Dad’s kindness.
He would help anyone who asked him to show him how to do a thing right, or help the person get a chance at something, and Dad would never act like it was a big deal, never Thought about turning anyone down.
And I have so seen my share of Cockiness.
None I know of other than those who are anointed for such a Thing, and a Time, by the One True Living God.
Like David and that sling shot! All the people of that day who prolly Killed a lot of rabbits or snakes with those slingshots for food or the the like, very ordinary…. but never would have occurred to them to do that to a Goliath, for instance.
THAT takes some thing so Rare and far aside from the ability to use a sling shot.
KNOWING something Deep Inside was Connected to God and completely Confident that God was his assurance that he could do it.
No, That is not James.
My dad was an extraordinry man. NOT in the Same line of work but my dad Exceeded, in Pipeline Construction – In Texas.
He DID outpace Most others, but NEVER because he was COMPETING with others.
Most Jobs Dad had, there was no competition FOR.
Others would not take THOSE Jobs had they been offered to them, the Risk was too high. And they were smart and realistic enough to know their own limitations, and they were still excellent in their own jobs. And Dad had Great respect for them. And in many cases, when the risk was high, there WERE no other takers, and the Bosses would not have permitted it if they had asked for it, because SOME JOBS have to be done RIGHT the FIRST TIME or they will NOT BE a Second Time at all, for the Entire WHOLE of the project, even when 98% of the job is NOT a danger to the Whole Project.
Once Dad spent most of a whole year welding Galvanized Steel repairs inside the heart of a 3 story fire. He didn’t do it alone but he was the only Welder on THAT part of the Job. The rest of the men were blowing that 3-story fire away from him and his acetylene torch and you can be bloody assured he was EXTREMELY GRATEFUL for their Support for him, as it was, the Galvanized steel gave him bleeding ulcers the the whole entire year. He wasn’t feeling “SUPERIOR” to anyone.
And men like my Dad and like James O’Keefe, who have a KNACK for a Special kind of work, they are humbled by that, and they deeply appreciate those who help them get it done and done right.
These Days, too many folks don’t know the Difference between a person Confident in their ability to do their Job, and still Humble as a person, and grateful they were GIVEN the ability to do something they love so much and the people they need to have with them so they can do it.
While I see James NOT TOLERATING FOOLS, I’ve watched him from the beginning of the Acorn investigation, and I have NOT seen him filled with arrogance or pride or Cockiness. And because I’ve seen men act that way, all cocky and smarty pants, in the presence of my dad, usually not having a Clue on earth the kind of work my Dad was doing on a daily Basis. But these others were hell-bent on making sure these Guys thought THE BEST of THEMSELVES as is possible.
Sometimes Dad put his NEPHEWS in their own place same as his Older Brothers did to him when he was a Kid – but Dad was NEVER as green as his nephews were – bcz Different Times. But Dad was calm and unflustered and not admonishing or challenging to others.
I don’t see James doing that, getting ruffled over cocky smarty pants who don’t even KNOW they ain’t all that and a bag of chips.
Not at all.
And at my age, I have seen more than my share of Hot shots.
So, no, I cannot agree with you
CPAC is getting better now with the influence of Bannon and the Warroom following. I have hopes that this one will produce results in the House. The push is on for the House to start the fight against the spending. This will be one of the central issues discussed at CPAC I believe, and hope!
A CPAC where RINOs and BigCON get called out and chastised accordingly is the way it ought to be. We can’t have the movement and ideology become captured and used as a tool of the uniparty.
The US Civil War was fought after the Republican party was formed out of frustration with the uniparty of the day. With both sides promising to do something about slavery and neither side keeping their word, the Republican party (the liberal party of the day!) was formed and within a couple of election cycles, Abraham Lincoln was president. And we all know what happened then.
If the plan is to retake the Republican party, then so be it. But it’s not going to be as definitive as forming a new party. But that seem to the the decided path. Now we have to oust the RINOs and BigCON from OUR PARTY. The true Liberal Conservatives.
Pence is so far down in the polls if they matter. He will not be missed he and De Santis can hang out with Jeb Bush and the other RINO’s.
I’m sorry that Pence won’t be there because I was so looking forward to seeing and hearing him booed off the stage
The REAL conservatives need to go in and lay waste to “BigCON” in a big way.
Speaking of “BigCON” where’s the guy who I think first coined the term? Steven Crowder?
This is great to hear!
Good v Evil.
I have seen my share of evil.
Hanging with the good, trying to do good and avoiding or undermining evil is much preferable.
Cheers to all!
Fight the good fight, my friend.
The devil walks this earth, collecting souls daily.
Yes he does, and the District of Columbia too.😉
There are more good souls, though.
It’s us to up to seek them out, support and encourage them.
Cheers!
🏴🏴🏴
Like cream, they will rise to the top. But we have to be discerning. Plenty have posed as what they are not.
Very much as the AntiChrists do.
Then, yes…support and encourage.👍🏻
As an American I watched the Freedom Convoy travel East from the Mountains through the Barrens straight into
the heart of the Beast! I watched as thousands (probably millions) of Canadians cheered and waved them on in
support. It made my heart swell to see what the “real” people of a country can accomplish. Their fervor, their determination, their hope was something I haven’t seen in this country since 9/11.
If this CPAC meeting could capture even a sliver of what arose in the hearts of those brave men and women it would
be a momentous event.
All the best to you and yours, Dekester.
Thank you!
We were at several local trucker and anti vaxx rallies.
They were truly awesome!!
It’s too bad Americans had to see for themselves the fascist District of Columbias hatred for decent citizens.
Cheers!
I wished I had met you before I moved away from Kirkland.
Cheers Dekester!
Matt Schlapp has always been suspect, in my book; glad to see it’s not only me who’s leery of him.
I’ve read that he’s a stealth open borders backer. Seems like it was Pedro Gonzalez who wrote some pieces about him and his organization.
Pedro is an astute observer of all thing political, and a darned good writer.
I would like to hear O’Keefe tell his side of the story and how he lost control of PV>
Excellent news!
Anyone know who the Girl is? And Is She the same girl in the fresh Pic of James and RFK, Jr.?
No, she played the hooker in the ACORN sting. Not a girlfriend of James and is married.
Her name is Hannah as I recall. She and James were college friends.
Hannah Giles
Still waiting for Steve Cortes to pull his head out and explain why he was sitting on a stage last week with the two O’Keefe sabatours and acted like he was unable to speak.
There are MANY people in the “so-called” Conservative moment who play both sides of the field while waiting for the dust to settle, at which time they rush to the “winning” side and pretend they were 100% on that team the entire time! The ones like Sundance, who state UPFRONT whom they support and whom they despise are very few and far between.
Suspect that Cortes, like Charlie Kirk, Candace Owens, everyone on Faux News, and almost the entire Republican Congress falls into the former category, unfortunately!
I agree but seems that he’s taking the ignore it path. I posted about it to his Gettr account and got no response. And he has responded to other things in the past.
Best journalists by far ………….CTH and James O’Keefe!!!!
interview on C-Span2 re his book published 01/25/2022:
James O’Keefe’s book “American Muckracker”- A Journalism Textbook-
“There are more of US than there are of them.”
Well said.
He has true character. Stand strong JOK. We’re with you.
James’ new book: “American Muckraker”
YAY!!! I do remember the amazing Michelle Malkin and her brave heart at CPAC, calling out the snakes. Wonder where she is now> What a powerhouse!
cue up Steve Miller Band’s “Take The Money And Run”.
CPAC should never have moved out of D.C.
First the move out to Gaylord National, then out of the area altogether, kind of took it off the map.
If I remember correctly wasn’t there some incident during the last one in D.C. where a big dinner was planned and the restaurant cancelled them at the last minute?
That photo of Andrew puts me in state of mournfulness I can’t describe/explain!
I don’t know where James will land but I know I will support whatever his next endever is when ever he gets it figured out
R.D.
I dont give a rats arse about Corporate Pac. The only reason I’ll listen is because of President Trump( the real President) and now O’Keefe. Otherwise…barrrrrf.
So, it is not going to be a surprise appearance which James O’Keefe is making at CPAC.
Telegraphing a punch TO Pfizer and Big Pharma, seeing that the PV ouster only made matters worse – surely they – the Pfizer people and others in Big Pharma – will endeavor to orchestrate something to prevent that CPAC appearance and speech by Mr. O’Keefe – but if we can just wait and watch and see what happens, they themselves will overcorrect, so to speak – popcorn time?
I took a friend of mine to the first big Tea Party rally in D.C., I think it was in April 2009 on the mall. We were working that Saturday right over by the mall and decided to check it out on the spur of the moment. My friend was a huge leftie and basically going to troll and laugh at everyone.
Instead he ended up making a bunch of friends and had a political reawakening.
A few months later he calls me over to the National Press Club where all of a sudden I found myself in an elevator with my friend, Michele Bachman and Allen West. We were going to a Tea Party event where we all got to witness the disgusting visage of Sen. Orrin Hatch pretending to be a Tea Partier, and saying he was Tea Party before it existed etc.
Next time I talked to my boy he had splurged on the VIP all access package for 2010 CPAC. He came over to my place after the last day and brought me a bunch of swag from the event. I lived down the street from the old Wardman Park hotel.
He told me his life had changed, and he had witnessed firsthand a future United States president give an electrifying, dazzling speech at CPAC.
That man’s name was Donald J. Trump.
Great story!
That’s giving me the goosebumps! The good kind.
Nicely told.
Great story, too… I’ve got a bunch of questions
Questions? Maybe I have answers.
mg stands with James
“Too stuffy, too corporate, too much establishment politicking and not scruffy and scrappy enough – except when Andrew was there.”
TOTALLY AGREE!
But unfortunately right now, (except for PDJT’s rallies) this is one of the few offerings Conservatives have.
Brendan Dilley and Miguelifornia are going.
THEY’LL shake things up.
Great, wildly pro-Trump people if a bit… spicy
I watched his resignation speech….I was inspired and impressed. He can be very poetic.
I tend to agree with you Sundance on CPAC. I attended one time and that was in 2009. Had the one time opportunity to hear Rush Limbaugh give the keynote and also was able to meet (for a second) Andrew Breitbart. He was one of my heroes. I was disappointed in CPAC in it’s organization at the time and it was really Gop’y. I think that they are trying to move away from that image with Bannon pushing it hard with grass roots to attend. Seems to me someone else was running CPAC back then but I don’t remember who it was.
One time was enough for me.
Rush’s address to America was amazing. I remember it was cold and snowy that day.
I was there too. It was awesome being in the room for Rush’s speech!!!
When you’ve been stripped of everything you had and worked for that was your identity, it’s a lonely place to be, but you find out who your true friends are.
CPAC will be the beginning of his journey back. He is a strong person to even show up this quickly, but it’s good that he does.
So many people look to him for truth.
I totally support James O’Keefe and will continue to do so in whatever endeavor he pursues. Ah, I so miss Andrew Breitbart.
Mr. O’Keefe is one thoroughbred and as many of you said 1 in a million.
He will succeed in whatever he decides to do.
And that little matty tyrmand looking like Vizzini from the Princess bride will wither away in ignominy.
He will be great for CPAC.
And no loss on pence and desanctimonious not showing up-they too are hyenas who fear looking at the lion.
TRUMP is WINNING already!
We ALL STAND BY WITH HIM!
I wonder if the Board will be there to witness the incredibly LOUD standing ovation James will receive?
100%
While O’Keefe is likely not a perfect boss, his work exposing the Left and their lies is so commendable it’s hard to not give him the benefit of the doubt. The man is apparently fearless in pursuit of the truth and exposing the underhanded dealings of the democrat party and the Leftists – we will always owe him a debt of gratitude.
I don’t know what happened at his company but I lean towards his side of the story if for no other reason than that I am grateful for his work.
NOT A FAN OF CPAC; BEWARE OF THE PRO lgbt people there…..see site for more: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/everything-is-pro-life-cpac-leader-says-explaining-why-there-were-no-panels-on-abortion/
https://twitter.com/AbbyJohnson/status/1501676313215647755 after 2022 CPAC
They haven’t had a prolife keynote in several years. I think I may have been the last one. The only mention they give to abortion is in the form of a “panel.” It’s bs and I have been calling it out for a while. Not to mention that they are pro-LGBT, which is profoundly anti-life.
Gotta say I’m surprised Matt Schlapp is bucking trend.
…and that should be interesting
“The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to.”
Yeah James!
What happened to O’Keefe and Project Veritas has happened repeatedly in US.
Big money/leadership changes the organization and its objectives. Often quietly.
We should take this time to start a list of these organizations which no longer espouse their original intent.
Trump, O’Keefe, now get Lake.
