The Washington Examiner notes today that President Trump has been invited to attend the annual CPAC convention (Conservative Political Action Conference). However, as long-term CTH readers will note, we hold no positive opinion on CPAC.
I would question if the time has come to conclude CPAC is a gathering of the same institutional political types that got us into this mess. Y’all know my answer to that question has existed for seven years: CPAC is an assembly of fraud and abuse.
In their effort to be politically correct (aka culturally Marxist) the list of people who have been banned from CPAC is long. Robert Spencer, Pam Geller, Milo, and now Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R, GA). Any strong voice who has taken on the leftist movement in the U.S. (without regard for the nonsense rules espoused by the Alinsky community) has been ostracized from the conservative conference.
CPAC has, in essence, become a place where the establishment GOP dictates whose voice is permitted and who is essentially too deplorable to be heard. Yes, there are some strong voices that show up, including President Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, Nigel Farage, Michelle Malkin, and other axe swinging wolverines who are deep in the fight. However, the brutally honest point is things have changed…..
There should be new rules and a new confrontational attitude if we are going to save this republic. CPAC and the pinkie raised champagne toasts just ain’t cutting it. We are on the damn precipice, and the CPAC crew act like reaching across the aisle is a possible way to avoid the gallows. This is a cycle of abuse we can no longer tolerate. We will not survive.
I do not forget when we gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives; and when Paul Ryan took over as speaker; and Ryan passed another three trillion omnibus spending bill with full support of Democrats…. and then showed up to a standing ovation at the “conservative conference.” WHAT the HELL was being conserved?
The time is now for CPAC to reform…. OR the time has come for CPAC to be abandoned in favor of a national convention that supports the 75 million+ Donald Trump voters. CPAC is not that convention… not even close.
WASHINGTON – Organizers of the biggest annual gathering of conservatives say they have invited President Donald Trump to speak at their conference in Florida next week.
The Conservative Political Action Conference is due to start next Thursday in Orlando and already features some of the biggest names from the Trump administration, including former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders.
Chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp said he had extended an invitation to Trump himself.
“I’d love to see him come to CPAC next,” he told the Washington Examiner. (read more)
CTH is in the fight for our nation regardless of CPAC or not CPAC. CTH will fight beside anyone, any vulgarian patriot, who will fight the progressive left and their intent to destroy our constitutional republic…. but we cannot keep acting like we have time to convince the other side to stop destroying our nation – THEY DON’T CARE.
Those within the club, in this example the DC club, want those outside the club to accept there are two systems of rights and responsibilities. The club members have all powerful rights and no responsibilities for consequences; the non club members have lesser rights and full responsibility for consequences. This is the cornerstone of a tiered or classist society outlook.
“Rules for thee and not for me” is more than a catch phrase; it is an actual worldview with a history in political control. They are not hypocrites, they are living out their creed.
It is critical, actually beyond critical, that people start to accept what they are witnessing is not some misplaced system created by bad actors. Those bad actors are actually aligned political elites who benefit from numbing society to the sheer audacity of their ideology.
The truth doesn’t care about your feelings. Either we fight back using every tool and voice in our arsenal, or we will lose. It really is that simple.
We need lots of trumpets, with soaring sounds that pierce the sky. MAGA Trumpets that play “Reveille” to wake more people up. Trumpets that broadcast victories. Trumpets that play “Taps” (when needed) over losses. MAGA Trumpets that signal which way to run to the battle. Trumpets that provide cadence and courage.
WE NEED TRUMPETS
What is this disconnect, this insanity of continuing to say “they wouldn’t, they couldn’t, they can’t” when they will, they can and they are—in real time–today!
The CPAC assembly pretends to support of what’s left of our Republic and the assembly, bleats dismay at what’s being done to our Constitution in broad daylight. However, their words are always combined with speeches that end with “buy my book about it”… AND THOSE ACTIONS are not changing what’s actually happening.
Those whose hold on power depends on deception are always able to find an audience of those willing to be deceived.
Now, I accept the CPAC audience of those willing to be deceived is a flexible group in terms of numbers and identities; and even those who have been in that audience for some time may one day walk away from it; but why wait to accept your surrounding until your wrists are locked in the guillotine? What is it that makes folks stay in that audience?
It is time for a national MAGA conference and let those who wish to join our assembly petition for their right to participate. Let us, WE THE PEOPLE, define the rules of our support, not beg or appreciate the DC beltway republican cocktail party for an invitation to their back-patting weekend that results in absolutely nothing.
We ain’t got no more time for this Bulls**t!
cpac is not our friend.
AOC is not Nancy Pelosi’s friend either, but they get a lot done together.
Lot’s of people I admire and who have been very outspoken for Trump and for causes I support have spoken at CPAC. Beat ’em at their own game.
CPAC is loaded with back stabbers I believe.
CPAC reform? Fat chance.
Agree with you, it is why I believe reforming the GOP is a useless venture. The party must be destroyed and the MAGA Party rise from the ashes.
I agree, if we “reach across the aisle”, we do so with brass knuckles and baseball bats. Speaking to a Demonrat is like teaching a pig to sing, it irritates the pig, and wastes your time.
“Never attempt to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and annoys the pig.”

I’ve suspected for a long time, but now I’m certain of the origin of your nym. Kudos, and thanks for confirming that.
Do you grok?
like your -al capone – way to reach other side of isle…….
Propriety and politeness got us where we are today.
Tomorrow must be lived differently.
I agree with you!! We need a MAGA conference. And they need to see that we don’t need them.
Yep, they need to see how many people support Maga.
What Trump does with this invite will tell us alot.
and what he says
I went to CPAC 2021, website they have a lot of America First speakers this year. I don’t know why they didn’t invite Marjorie. Some of them worked for President Trump.
If NH is there ,Green and Boebert are not,that would be a no go. Now if Green and Boebert are there and NH is not,that would be a different story.
They did not invite Marjorie for the same reason they didn’t invite you or me.
See Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, and a good deal more. We’re barbaric, Deplorable, and not fit for polite company.
So they tell us, anyways.
So I’m not the only one not on the Schlapp’s Christmas card list?
Ok guys here it is..
CPAC ticket prices..
Now let’s hold a MAGA Convention.. in Orlando Florida a great event to raise money also..
Not an expert by any means.. CPAC prices start at $85. Go to $15,000
Many MAGA supporters are Living in Florida and Orlando is a few hours ride from many locations In Florida
Should be plenty of cheap flight into Orlando also..
https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2020/12/cpac-2021-to-be-held-in-florida/
MAGA
Biteme will shut down the fla airports that week because of .. Covid or the pilots passing out with the new 6 mask rule or something.
You can easily drive to Orlando… great interstate connections .. from the west. I-10 to I-75 to Fla Turnpike..
From the north. South on I-75.
From the east I-95 to I-4 …
This realy should happen.. the MAGA voters to show patriot power..
Make it so!?
I agree. I drove from FL to CA 3 weeks ago and took I-10 for the first time.
Great road, awesome speeds, and rest areas that make CA’s poor excuses look ghetto.
H e has no control over this. Tell him for f-#k off.
I agree, but would recommend calling it an “America First” conference.
I loved Trump’s recent line about Mitch putting the Beltway first and Biden putting America Last. That is a compelling argument IMO.
But it needs details to back it up.
We need America First.. speakers President Trump.
Gen Flynn
Sidney Powel
Mike Lindell and others
Convention topics
Topics should be..
Dominion Software
Electing MAGA AG… Electing Maga judges….Voter Fraud.. registering the vote.. how to bring jobs back to The United States..etc..
we know plenty of topics.. How
Plenty of workshops. From poll worker. Poll watchers.. etc..
We could mobilize the nation..
MAGA
Not an expert by any means..
But I would think a minimum of 3 days.. Friday thru Sunday afternoon..
Huge dinner on Saturday Evening..
Thinking fund raiser let just say $50 , $100 per plate ..
Speeches in the morning and workshops in the afternoon..
MAGA
Definitely Mike Lindell for an America First Rally –
what if President Trump made a few stipulations on conditions for appearing at CPAC – Mike Lindell also to speak? That’s a no? See ya!
I have been to several business conferences..
There are presentations and work shops..
Attendees register and pay a fee to register.. then they can sign up for the workshops they are interested in..
Given the corruption we need a plan on how to clean house at the local and state level..
The Rule of Law and how to make sure it is followed comes to mind for a great work shop…
Partnering with Law anforcement..
Would be another great work shop.
MAGA
Thinking we could get RSBN, OAN and newsmax to cover the convention and get the publicity out..
I’m a fan of Brandon Straka. Would also want Burgess Owens. I love all the above mentioned people, but that is a small core that has been heard from a lot lately.
How about James Woods and Roseanne Barr? Just for fun.
Brandon has basically disappeared since he was arrested.
True the Vote, too. Prominent speaker. A real trooper.
I just went to their site. The only tickets left are $7500.00/ea.!!! If I had that kind of money to throw around, I would run for office myself!
Gonna try to get on the rigging crew @ the hotel. If nothing else, I would love to meet Rep. Boebert. She rocks!!
One caveat… if I gotta wear a muzzle, that’s a hard pass.
Oh, and of course, I’d like to meet MY Governor DeSantis!!!
Would be a great time to introduce Little Marco’s replacement..
Check out Luis Miguel for Senate 2022! He is a great choice to boot out that Gun Banning, red flag law supporting, Rhino. https://www.luismiguelforsenate.com/
ParishTrumpster,
Thank you! I shall !! I have written little marco, and told him I WANTED MY VOTE BACK!! If Luis Miguel is who you say he is, I will be volunteering with his campaign!!
Best,
skipper
Parish Trumpster,
Hokey Smokes!!! If Luis Miguel is for real (Please God), I will be actively supporting Mr. Miguel, and volunteering for his campaign.
THANK YOU!!!
All the Best,
skipper
AND there is a MASSIVE parking lot adjacent to their hotel @ the Orange County Convention Center. Wonder how many of us would be willing to “congregate”?
Given the Jan 6th rally in DC.. my guess thousands..
I think that is a great idea. Love seeing a sea of Trump flags at Dem. events.
And RINO events too, of course.
Remember this is Florida.. no hard muzzle’s
Hans,
Aye, this is Florida! (Where I REFUSE to wear even a soft muzzle)
Bad news. If it’s in Orlando, we have two lefty mayors (City & County). They have a face diaper mandate still in effect. It’s not really enforced against individuals but they do harass businesses. If I do wear a muzzle, it’s just to walk in the door of my favorite pub…comes off right after. Want to keep my guys open. I don’t wear them for shopping.
David,
I’m about 20 miles east of the Convention Center, on 528. On what side of town is your pub? I don’t imbibe myself, but would LOVE to buy a fellow Treeper a beer!!
And yeah, what a bunch of blood-bags Dyer and Demmings are!!!
Give out free TRUMP masks.
Burn it to the ground. Please do not forget we the voter do not control the outcome of elections unless they want us to. Trump won. You need to believe that. Aside from the obvious, many of us saw it with our own eyes. Many of us have seen the facts and evidence the establishment is so desperately trying to hide. Thats is why there is a wall erected to protect those that facilitated the fraud. Ignore the fake news and stay focused. We need justice for the election fraud and we must restore election integrity or its ALL over. This is why the message below is important.
.
Many are watching and waiting on the U.S. Supreme today. In its conference, the Court will decide whether the cases from GA, Michigan, and Pennsylvania will proceed.
If the Court says NO, we will know the majority of the Court is corrupt. The cases are based on established, black letter law. The elections in those states were illegal and unconstitutional. They changed the election rules without approval of the state legislatures.
If the Court decides the cases will proceed, we will not know for sure if a majority of the Court is corrupt until final decisions are issued which could take months. Remember the decision in Obamacare?
Maybe the Court will allow the cases to proceed and buy time before the corrupt justices are exposed.
If the majority in the Court is not corrupt, a ruling should be issued today in Pennsylvania case. GA and Michigan should have cert granted with a reversal and remand to follow law in Pennsylvania case.
We are going to learn a great deal about the majority of our Supreme Court justices today whatever the rulings may be.
Keep praying that justice is done today.
God bless you. – Lin
” I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how, but what is extraordinarily important is this – who will count the votes, and how.”

I have concerns about the following members of the U.S. Supreme Court:
Roberts (you know why)
Breyer (anti-Trumper)
Barrett (nomination and confirmation pushed by McConnell)
Kavanaugh (tied to Bush 43)
Sotomayor (attended what may have been fake Bribes inauguration proceeding & appointed by Obama)
Gorsuch (who knows – flip-flopper)
Gagan (nominated by Obama)
I have confidence in Alito (based on earlier PA injunction ruling)
I have confidence in Thomas (Patriot)
The Federalist Society has had TOO MUCH influence on recent SCOTUS nominations. That needs to change in the future.
The U.S. Supreme Court should never be guided by politics The rule of law is nonpartisan.
You have it right. Unfortunately , not one of PDT’s appointees can hold a candle to Alito or Thomas.
We don’t need to “believe” that we won the election. It has been objectively demonstrated that we won the election.
Waiting for the SCOTUS is like waiting for Godot
Thank you for the update it’s good information.
Without MGT its toast. Lets see what happens, nothing to lose.
Thank you, Sundance, for the clear explanation.
100% Sundance! MAGA!
CPAC is NOT a true supporter of MAGA or Americans, imho. CPAC is about CPAC. ALL talk and theories. very little action.
The fact that CPAC is still CPAC tells you everything you need to know.
The American Revolution had its roots in talk and theories.
CPAC is there to be used. Trump had used it before, and he should use it again.
Exactly.
that’s a good point
but letting the CPAC crowd realize they are not “in charge” of conservatives
What does CPAC do with the money it collects? Does CPAC back America First policies with the money that Trump will help it collect by attending?
Just remember…
The “Folks” putting on this event are the same “Folks” who stood by and/or enabled the election to be stolen from U.S.
They continue…. going along to get along….
Playing by the “Big Club” (You AIN’T in it) rules.
And they will continue continuing until they have ground U.S. into dust.
How long do WE allow this charade to go on? Hoping against Hope that things “Will be different THIS Time”?
How long do WE keep doing the same thing… yet
EXPECT DIFFERENT RESULTS!
They will not change.
It is who they are.
They HATE U.S.
Imo
Anyone seen this movie before?
I saw Romney speak at CPAC and get annhilated by Obama. And I saw Trump speak there and annhilate Hillary.
CPAC is not homogeneous. It is made up of some people we like and some we hate. But most look for the way the wind blows. Once it becomes clear that the wind is blowing in Trump’s direction, they will prove useful to him (us).
The whole point is minimizing the ones we hate, maximizing the ones we like, and intimidating the ones who put their fingers in the wind.
Trump did not attend in 2016.
Matt Schlapp, who runs it, said the people who attacked the capital should have all been shot on sight, thinking it was Trump supporters.
He was also paid $750,000 to lobby Trump for a pardon for some bigwig GOP donor. What do you want to bet that A) he didn’t disclose that to Trump and B) it was a trap to go after Trump for “selling” pardons?
These people are snakes!
Story kinda went away.
C P A C = compromised political anal-retentive corporatists
It is the old adage, ‘it is not what you say it is what you do!‘
What does CPAC do with the money it collects from these events?
It supports the Establishment, pro-China politicians, no????
The America First speakers are tolerated because they help bring the money in . . . money that is used to REJECT America First policies.
What do they do with the money? They go to fancy resorts and laugh endlessly at the suckers who donate to their worthy cause.
When i look at what’s “allowed” and what views are not.
What once was a good platform to spread the conservative message.
Morphed into a platform to evolve our message into conservative light or conservatism de jour. Watering conservatism down to a tasteless unrecognizable fad,
Instead of a guiding principle to achieve the best we can be.
I don’t think the leadership of cpac understand us anymore.
So i would enjoy watching our PRESIDENT speak anywhere. I don’t think cpac deserves such a guest.
Are you saying that CPAC dictates what people can say and not say?
I think they dictate what people hear by picking and choosing those allowed to speak.
They chose Trump.
They are happy to stand next to him.
But they wouldn’t and still won’t STAND UP for him.
So did Lindsey Graham when the opportunity was needed.
They thought they could “handle” PDJT like they do all the other pols. Another one of their miscalculations.
And the topics.
Who do they invite that can say out loud on their stage THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN!
Or CHINA ATTACKED THE WORLD!
CPAC..They play the tune that so called conservatives dance to. But they fail miserably at that task. This outdated forum is for those who are comfortable with losing gracefully. Their relevance has faded into obscurity along with the Republicans. I would love to join a party that represents the future of America instead of these fossilized empty suits. They say all the right things but don’t have the guts to act on their own words.
Wonder if old Root & Branch Senator McConnell w/b there this year?
Was it CPAC or NRA convention when he had the KY long rifle?
These DC events always seem to be shams to me…..come to DC and tell’m…..
You go where your voice will be heard.
The President kept busy on Twitter spreading his voice loud and clear. Twitter was not a friendly place for him, either, but he used it against them. I quit it years ago because of it’s ugliness. Anybody here with a Twitter account has no authority to lecture others on where to go to speak. Same for FaceBook. Dance with the Devil, you pay his dues. And he always collects. It may not be what you want to pay.
CPAC has a wide audience and not particularly unfriendly. Use it to your advantage.
I disagree. He has a voice anywhere. If he goes he gives them credibility which they do not deserve.
The same excuse was used against NewsMax, Fox News, Hannity, and all those people, attacked by some of the posters here because they weren’t Pure enough. And yet the President went there and spread his message anyway. And quite effectively.
All Sean Hannity does is make excuses on live television for RINOs such as Lindsey Graham.
Not just for rinos, but for the fbi too.
Amen, Amen, AMEN!!
I have never said HE shouldn’t go there. I have said I will not give aid and comfort (by giving them views or money) to the enemy, and make no mistake they ARE our enemies. They coordinated to steal the election and SILENCE anyone who tried to tell the truth. They plotted to destroy Trump in 2015/2016. I also have never had a social media account of any kind in my life.
They lie to your face nonstop. That is my BIGGEST pet peeve in life. I do not tolerate it.
YEP!
And I might add: The President’s message is not necessarily for the people there, it’s for the people watching. The bigger the event, the bigger the audience.
Edited to add: Anywhere the President speaks is a MAGA America First event.
Right on the money as usual SD ?????
☝️☝️☝️?????????????????????
Can’t hurt to use established channels to gain support. Our movement will only grow.
It can hurt if by attending you make CPAC richer — and then CPAC uses that money to ATTACK America First policies.
We want a MAGA conference, with hundred dollar dinners and only the support of America First businesses.
The pictures nailed it!! Oooo, fireworks!
They want President Trump as a draw…nothing else.
Of course. So?
A draw for $$$$$$.
$$$ that CPAC will use to advance the interests of globalist corporations.
I agree. And they will take those funds and use them AGAINST President Trump.
He should string them along and then decline at the last minute. lol
How can people here not realize after the last five years and that 2020 “election” that the unelected administrative state which comprises the vast majority of government at all levels along with the lobbyists who pull the financial strings of the relatively few actual politicians are the government and that these diversionary conventions of conservative posers stringing along their perhaps sincere but powerless fans are worth exactly zero except to maintain the delusion of voter control.
I just got strung along by a seven line sentence.
I can’t help but laugh. I glanced at the comment but went right to your reply and laughed.
Thanks for saving me some time. lol
While he was the president I had to hold my nose repeatedly while Trump danced with McCain, Romney, on and on. I watched one swamp monster after another nominated to leadership positions. The one thing that president Trump has proven to be bad at is choosing republicans. His track record is exemplified by his Vice President Benedict Arnold.
.
CPAC doesn’t want anything to do with real Americans and never has. They are the ultimate Decepticons. Let them eat cake. Politics is over until the next war is fought anyway…
Which is why I have my doubts about him leading a challenge against RINOs in Congress.Based on his endorsements of them all in 2018 and 2020,I think he may have a very different definition of a RINO than mine.Of course,if there is no third party,I can just stay home.A third party provides leverage.If the Republican nominee isn’t America First you run a candidiate against them. If they are then they have the benefit of being on two tickets.I will be very disappointed if the President decides to stay within the GOP.How many times do you suffer their abuse.
Party politics is over, yes. However, for all of us who refuse to live as slaves, a big fight is coming that has nothing to do with party. Live free or die is not just a clever motto…
Would CPAC allow Peter Brimelow to attend?
Matt Schlapp: “I understand there’s a 16-year-old young woman who was shot. Now maybe she was doing terrible things and deserved to be shot … we’re the party that talks about law and order and respecting cops.”
Source:
Even when Chairman of the American Conservative Union Matt Schlapp was under the initial impression that Ashli Babbitt was a 16 year old woman, he still said that she deserved to be shot.
Regardless of Ashli Babbitt’s age, she was an unarmed protestor and did not deserve to be shot at all and the identity of the Capitol Police officer who shot her remains unknown.
That is the reason I cancelled my tickets the following day – Schlapp is disgusting.
Hes terrible. Another establishment beltway rino.
Exactly. There is exactly zero proof it was a cop who shot her. Looked like a man in a suit to me.
Is FBI considered “cop?”
Marjorie Taylor Greene is unacceptable–but shooting children is just fine? That’s a little bloodthirsty, isn’t it Matt?
Well, no need to worry. Super Secret Capitol Police Agent David Bailey the BLM cop didn’t shoot anybody. It’s all Crisis Actors including Antifa and the corrupt cops. Pure stagecraft. You’ve heard of Pallywood? This was Pelosiwood.
One of the biggest reasons you know is that Democrats would be screaming her name like they did with Ofc. Sicknick. Instead, they are radio silent. They know this Deep Fake won’t hold up under scrutiny.
It’s “The Bark that Didn’t Hound”, Sherlock.
You’re safe, Schlapp. You can go back to heroically shooting little girls now.
Capitol police officer’s last name is Bailey.
DAVID BAILEY-BRAZILIAN IMMIGRANT AND BLM MILITANT, THREATENED TO KILL TRUMP
https://redpilled.ca/redpilled-media-exclusive-us-capitol-special-agent-david-bailey-who-murdered-ashli-babbitt-is-a-brazilian-immigrant-and-black-lives-matter-militant-he-repeatedly-threatened-to-kill-trump-su/
trump supporters it says.
He did threaten to smoke the proud boys for their horrible crime of getting in fistfights with Antifa. The real of crimes of Antifa and BLM didn’t bother him, since he’s a BLM member and staged this shooting with Antifa.
He’s the guy who nearly “protected” Rep. Scalise to death at the Ballfield. He caught a bullet himself and the Deep State even had President Trump give him a medal. Which reminds me; didn’t Iran brag about having bodyguards near the President?
If this were real, Democrats would be screaming how “Trump Killed Ashli Babbitt!” and they would be throwing parades for Bailey instead of hiding his face and identity. It is the Hound that Didn’t Bark. They know this phony Deep State Snuff Film they cooked up to incite a riot will not withstand a moment’s scrutiny.
Ashli Babbit isn’t the best example to use right now. She has been exposed as a crisis actor, the shooting staged….
Have MAGA convention same week as CPAC. Observe which is larger….it will send a “message”
CPAC wouldn’t have invited President Trump unless they thought that they, and their agents in Congress, could gain something by it.
What does he bring that’s valuable to them?
He brings us.
As much as it pains them to acknowledge, they know that they need our votes and our money.
As Doc00 pointed out earlier, they’re hoping for photo ops, etc.
But what does President Trump gain from attending?
What does CPAC bring that’s of value to him and the MAGA movement?
A bunch of spineless duplicitous weasels, who would leak private discussions in a heartbeat, if they thought it might damage him?
President Trump doesn’t need CPAC to get his message out and attending simply to berate them would be wrong.
IMHO, he should politely decline due to a scheduling conflict.
As the old adage says, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
To me, it shows an acknowledgement of his power. What do I care if they think it gets them ME?
Screw CPAC. Their disavowal of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green disqualifies them, not her. She’s out there fighting the good fight and these pearl-clutchers are trying to read her out of polite company.
The Schlapps want to cancel her because they’re more concerned about what Sewer City thinks about them than they are with my freedom. Go join the other Reagan-Fakers who are “Standing Athwart History Yelling ‘Ahoy!'”, then.
They would rather be ruled by the first 2.000 names in the Beijing phone book–beginning with “Xi”. And they’ve pretty much gotten their wish, installing a Chinese Colonial Governor to run a criminal Government of Occupation. Every Institution of American Life has proven itself corrupt, now to include CPAC.
We’ll always remember the Glory Days when Ronald Reagan burned the place down. But if you’re not aflame for the freedom Reagan spent his life for, that Rush preached for, whose only standard-bearer is Actual President Donald Trump, then you’re part of the problem. Get out of the way. Your day is done. It’s Freedom Time.
Whatever It Takes.
I like MTG, but she is imprudent. We need low key CLEVER.
I want brash,bold and loyalty to America First principles.I want them to shout their committment and integrity so all can hear it.
Winning elections isn’t the problem – the cheating is. Cucking out by being low-key is what GOP has always done before Trump – we know how that works for us.
We need both–and all.
A new gathering needs to be brought out and CPAC should be treated no different then Nikki Hailey. To many cutthroats have been on the coattails of this President only to show us what they truly are and American first is not one of them.
1,000,000% This!!!
Hoping President Trump reads and understands that we, the Vulgarians, are waiting, and CPAC really isn’t our brand of TEA!.
Does anyone know anything about the “Republicans for National Renewal”? I see they are holding a competing event in Orlando a few blocks away from CPAC (which I cancelled my tickets by the way). Their info on their website https://rnrenewal.org looks promising but there is no mention who their leadership team is. I would like to support them but need to know who they so I can do some vetting of their leadership team. Thanks.
Beware of a group that has a donation panel in three widget areas on their home page, and not one word about their organization.
When I did a web search for them by name, they came up once. At the top of the results. In a PAID ad.
I attended my first and only CPAC conference in 2016. I went because I had volunteered for my first campaign ever, Donald Trump. It was money I pulled out of savings and it was expensive. I was very excited to go. I bought and brought trump gear and studied the schedule. It was a HORRIBLE experience. I was screamed at, pushed, bumped, mocked, and ostracized. How dare I show up to support Trump. How dare I? So stupid, so out of touch, so out of the mainstream. I complained about the pushing and bumping, crickets. But damn it, I stayed til the end decked out in all my trump gear. The Trump people I met were phenomenal and a lot were incognito. Anecdotally, the Cruz supporters were the worst. I still have the Trump shirts I bought from some college republican young ladies who were bright and charming. I will never ever ever attend another CPAC under any circumstances. I only bring this up because CPAC made up with Trump to make as much money from him as they could. Now that President Trump has been ejected, I’d be willing to bet CPAC goes back to its roots of globalism and support of the Uniparty. If you are MAGA beware. MTG being ignored says a lot. Just my opinion and my observations.
Self-serving money grubbers to hawk their wares — that is CPAC. Schlapp is out for himself.
What the heck are a bunch of people making speeches going to do for us?
It is like giving a starving person who is near death a book to read.
Greene being banned says it all about this conference.
Would like to see PDJT attend the ALTERNATIVE to CPAC MT Green is organising, down the street, Huckabee Sanders, as well.
Let it be yet another “seperating wheat from chaff” moment. Let Nikki Haley and Marco Rubio and Mitch go to CPAC, and PDJT, Sarah, etc attend the MAGA Conference, and start fundraising for MAGA candidates,NOW!
I quit calling myself a “conservative” when Mitt said HE was a “true conservative”,…and YES, I KNOWthis IS “the CONSERVATIVE treehouse”, however in Sundances “who we are” page, he DEFINES conservative.
Unfortunately, the term was bastardised after Reagan, andwhen asshats like Nikki, Marco, Mitt and McStain callthemselves “conservative” I can no longer lump myself in that group. Economic Nationalist/Populist, or Maga,or America Firster, or Deplorable.
Yes, certainly COULD say “TRUMP SUPPORTER”, but its NOT about ‘personalities’; its about POLICY.
I support PDJT BECAUSE of the policies he espouses, not I support the policies BECAUSE he espouses them.
Sundance should storm the ramparts at Mar-a-Lago and give a thundering brief on the battlefield and raise the effort to the highest possible level.
thank you, Sundance!
I wouldn’t be surprised if CPAC’s invitation to President Trump was another Jan 6th setup. Acouple of thousand Antifa hoods are rolled in to create havoc (Trump gets blamed) or when he is actually speaking & roars about election fraud and accusing a good number of the attendees of complicity, he’s physically escorted off the stage in the hopes of embarrassing him in front of his base. If I were him, I wouldn’t get within 100 miles of that place.
That is a good point. Of course, he might be killing two birds with one stone by instructing his supporters NOT to go for fear they would be sabotaged as you suggest.
This would distance him from Capitol rioters as well. (to be differentiated from the law abiding Trumpers who did not breach barricades or enter Capitol.)
Great write up Sundance! I don’t know any who could see it clearer or say it better! I totally agree.
CPAC = disaster for Deplorables
Trump doesn’t need to do it.
I will take tradition over conservatism any day.
Americanism is the Constitution.
Not one dime, not one vote for ANYONE that President Trump DOES NOT SUPPORT in 2022 or 2024. The Republican PARTY & CPAC are dead to ME.
I’m with you all the way.
Me too! I enjoy sending all my RNC solicitations back with a note saying I give directly to candidates of my choosing.
Not a fan. They are lost to me when they pretend to stand for justice and liberty only to take money behind the back to stab me in mine. No thanks.
Never really cared about CPAC or any of the club gatherings but, I will use my last dollar to buy Joe’s 5 dollar a gallon gas to make it to the MAGA convention.
You can’t have a trumpet without a Trump. President Trump should give a rip-roaring speech at CPAC and at the conclusion announce that he’s forming a new party. Then just flat-out ask the attendees if they want to remain with the GOP/”Conservative” wing of the UniParty and grift while the country goes to hell or join with the Patriots to save the Constitution. Let the chips fall where they may. It should be a real eye-opener.
I’m not on twatter but I will sign up to try and get the attention of Donald Trump Jr. to let President Trump know not to attend and why
Champagne Communists is CPAC, GOP, RNC
This was an important declaration in the post:-
‘“Rules for thee and not for me” is more than a catch phrase; it is an actual worldview with a history in political control. They are not hypocrites, they are living out their creed’.
Larry Summers, one of the biggest Insiders once told a then-outsider, former Finance Minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis (as related in his book “Adults in the Room” page 8):
“There are two kinds of politician” he said: “insiders and outsiders. The outsiders prioritize their privilege to speak their version of the truth. The price of their freedom is that they are ignored by the insiders, who make the important decisions. The insiders, for their part, follow a sacrosanct rule: never turn against other insiders and never talk to outsiders about what insiders say or do. Their reward? Access to inside information and a chance, though no guarantee, of influencing powerful people and outcomes”. With that, Summers arrived at his question, “So Yanis” he said “which of the two are you?”.
Theres a story floating out on GAB that RINO GOPers sent their PAC money to Biden
Can someone investigate this please?
“Those within the club, in this example the DC club,”
CPAC has always seemed to me to be a cool kids club who thought they were so cool that others in the DC cool kids club wanted to come speak to them, and if you were not a part of the cool kids club, you just didn’t understand how cool things were so you were shunned.
I don’t pay any attention to them.
Isn’t this affair the doings of the Schlapp’s?
The guy that said the Babbitt girl had it coming to her?
And if it is, why in the Hell would we want anything to do with it?
There had been a time when I respected CPAC and what they worked toward, but as with the Republican Party, it has caved to the similar craven corruption that has consumed the leftists.
The common issue is the corrupting influence of all the money they throw around these events and these politicians from lobbyists. And even when you agree with a particular special interest group, and you get a taste of the wealth they bring, it starts the downward rot. Once you sell out, even to a group you agree with in principle, you remain bought, and the next selling is easier, till you find one day you are fully owned. This is what has happened in our government, and with CPAC and all the other big money groups.
It’s day has passed. So has the Republican party in my opinion.
Their period costumes are nice, though.
I still want to hear what our President Trump has to say. You know him! Could be fireworks.
Trump should’ve accepted ONLY if MTG gets an invite.
1. I would attend a MAGA conference
2. I would love to see Trump accept the invitation and stand up there and call them all out
