I have been requested to advise on South Dakota John Thune against the backdrop of the upper chamber priorities nearing the election. It’s a good topic for review.
One of the more challenging facets to awakening the general public on the scale of corruption within Washington DC is the need for people to drop party designations.
This is never truer than within the U.S. Senate where the mistaken “us -vs- them” perspective remains a pesky hurdle.
The blue team and red team are mirror images of themselves. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The policy objective is the same, the business model within DC (K Street) benefits the upper chamber the most.
Within this dynamic Mitch McConnell is the mirror image of Harry Reid. Mitch has been grooming his replacement for a long time; that replacement is John Thune. Senator Thune is in a position that demands stealth. Ideologically, think of John Thune as the mirror image of Gavin Newsom. They are not opposites, they are mirrored – a big difference.
The system of affluence and influence has been created to self-sustain regardless of party affiliation. The Senate is one club with one ideological perspective. Within that club rule #1 dominates: none of the members will ever expose another member. So, when there is corrupt activity within the Senate no-one from within the institution will expose another. This is the code of Omerta within the upper chamber. This is the way of the “my good friend” Senate and how it operates.
Current Senate Leader Mitch McConnell has a leadership group who carry out the institutional objectives of the upper chamber as a body, they include: Senator John Thune (whip); Senator John Barrasso (conference chair); Roy Blunt (committee chair); Todd Young (NRSC chair); Jodi Ernst (conference vice-chair); and Chuck Grassley (president pro tempore). None of these senators make a move publicly without approval from Leader McConnell.
In August of 2020, before the presidential election, Senate Whip John Thune rebuked the mail-in ballot concerns expressed by President Trump. Thune did this because ultimately the objectives of the upper chamber were more favorably aligned if President Trump was removed.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Asked if he agreed with the president’s repeated charges that mailed-in balloting will lead to a “rigged election” and “massive voter fraud,” the Senate majority whip told reporters, “I don’t.”
“Mailed-in voting has been used in a lot of places for a long time and, honestly, we’ve got a lot of folks that, as you know, they’re investing heavily in trying … to win that war. It’s always a war too for mail-in ballots. Both sides compete, and it’s always an area where I think our side, at least in my experience, has done pretty well,” Thune answered, adding: “I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.” (read more)
(L-R) Barrasso, Blunt, McConnell, Thune and Ernst.
Senator Thune is one of the primary beneficiaries of Big Ag spending and Wall Street money. Thune is the ‘whip’ of McConnell. Thune is second in Big Ag contributions, with Senator Chuck Grassley being first.
Late December, 2021, the New York Times reported {LINK} that South Dakota Senator John Thune, the heir apparent to Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, was considering retiring because the Trump influence, the MAGA base, was not in alignment with his corporate and Wall Street donor class worldview.
Those who have watched closely know Senator Mitch McConnell has positioned Senator Thune to take over in the Senate (zipper problems not withstanding). The Machiavellian purpose of the positioning is to put Thune in place as a line of defense to protect the interest of the political establishment and the aligned Fourth Branch of Government.
Now, follow this sequence closely….
January 8, 2022, the New York Times announced that Thune was indeed going to run for reelection {LINK}. “Senator John Thune of South Dakota, the second-ranking Senate Republican, announced on Saturday that he would seek re-election, after an aggressive lobbying campaign by colleagues prompted him to put aside concerns about the future of his party and pursue a fourth term.”
January 9, 2022, the usually invisible other Senator from South Dakota, Senator Mike Rounds, appears on ABC This Week with George Stephanopoulos, to undermine Donald Trump and say the former president “could be prosecuted” for his involvement in the J6 terrorist attack “if the DOJ has evidence.” [PROMPTED]
You never usually see this guy Mike Rounds…. who happens to sit on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee… yet suddenly, the day after Thune makes his reelection bid public, Senator Rounds sticks his head out of his hole to undermine Donald Trump?
Thune, South Dakota. Rounds, South Dakota. Who else,…. Kristi Noem, South Dakota.
Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for 2024. An approved republican candidate.
DeceptiCons: Anti-Trump. Arrest Trump. Prosecute Trump. Thune replaces McConnell. DeSantis/Noem for 2024.
You often hear people wonder why the GOP doesn’t push-back against the Democrats. The reason is simple, the GOP are the right wing of the UniParty bird, the Democrats are the left wing. They are mirror images of each other.
Both clubs are attached to the body of big corrupt corporatist government.
Watch the trade front. Watch international trade, economics, banking and multinational corporation influence. That’s the ‘trillions are at stake,’ and that’s where the opposition to everything MAGA comes from.
Time to register as Independent. Why be a Rinocrat or a DemonRat, Why! Independent Party 30 plus million strong.
The numbers, 34% Independent, 33% DemonRats, 29% Rinocrats!
It is the fasts growing Party in America. It is a statement to the Uniparty, you no longer think like we do, we are independent from your thought control. An Independent mind is a terrible thing to waste on the Uniparty.
Who, pray tell, are their champions?
How about TRUTH, JUSTICE, and the AMERICAN WAY?
Or better yet, FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST!
The US Constitution… In kind.
Got the answer from Chance and Dev.
God first, Family Country. Those that stand up with no equivocations or Doublespeak, all for borders language culture, our way of life, not some other countries way of life!
TRUTH, JUSTICE, and THE AMERICAN WAY are ideas or ideals, not champions.
Without actual people leading the “charge”, nothing will happen.
It’s like the Catalonian Independence Fight. Everyone was for it as an idea and voted for it. But when the Police showed up, all that was left was Twitter outrage. And nothing happened.
Humans work in hierarchical constructs. Without them there is nothing. Ideals are great to be expressed but without a Washington nothing will come out of it.
Maquis is right to ask that. He got no answer. Just hot air. Yes, words thrown out into the wind are just that. Without a Champion there is nothing.
Seriously, hot air?
I did point out my ‘hierarchical construct’ God first! It seems to me Washington was listening to the very same hierarchical authority. He was a man looking to a higher authority ‘his champion’ for answers. So, from Washington’s time to ours what has changed?
I posted here yesterday, 1 Kings 22: 19/20/21/22
It shows how God governs the affairs of man, how he directs the politics on earth. Ahab, Evil King of Israel who worshiped false gods, had to die. And he did die. The interesting part is how God made that happen. Read those passages, it is fascinating and insightful.
You looking for ‘hierarchical construct’, God controls everything and I mean everything, you me the birds the bees and politics and politicians everywhere. Now if you are looking for an earthly ruler, Trumps your man. If Trump is to be President, it will be because God made it happen.
Sorry, but you only pointed out your private convictions.
While God’s Word is true and powerful, and every sane, rational person would do themselves a huge favor by knowing, understanding, and following it, and of course there is a hierarchy there, you can’t “vote” for it.
What Maquis is asking is, WHO is the HUMAN BEING “an Independent” voter is currently looking to support against the Uniparty candidates?
None of you “Independents” answered that. That’s the problem. Who is the Independent Party candidate going up against the establishment candidates, and WHY should anyone else support and vote for him/her/it? Who is actually on the state and/or national ballot?
Are you all just “independent” from either of the two major political parties? Is that all there is?
This is the question being asked. Your stated ideals are fine. But WHO — the HUMAN BEING — are all of you Independent Party members actually running on the ballots to vote for?
Exactly, even heroes can have lice. A circular firing squad benefits no one ex ept the tyrannical Deep State. Imo
De Santis is doing more than any other Repub Governor.
Trump is one man, even generals need troops and armies seldom have 100 % agreement man to man.
You’d think that out of 85 million disgruntled American citizens, someone would be willing to lead. For now, the “Independents” will give their support to Trump.
YOU & ME!
Lucifer
How about 85 million disgruntled American citizens?
Florida, New-York, Oklahoma – it’s your Primary Day !
Vote MAGA, this is the time to get good candidates !
Florida polls open from: 7am – 7pm
New York polls open from: 6am – 9pm
Oklahoma polls open from: 7am – 7pm
Here some Trump endorsements:
Florida – Matt Gaetz, Scott Franklin, John Rutherford, Wilton Simpson, Anna Paulina Luna
Anthony Sabatini (incumbent Florida House district 32, well endorsed) v./ Brady Duke (Navy Seal Sniper, Christian Minister) . . flip a coin ?
New York – Nicole Malliotakis
Oklahoma – Markwayne Mullin, Kevin Hern
Anthony Sabatini has impressed me so far, and I hope he wins. But I still keep in mind it’s just words until actions happen…
Sabatini lost?
Love it vote MAGA–that’s the slogan we should all use versus vote Red. H3LL most lawmakers claiming to be Red/Republicans are more blue than their Democratic opponents.
That’s always a big watchout, K, yes.
Mullins embraced Byrd and voted for Juneteenth. Don’t trust Trump on his endorsements.
“DoNt tRuSt TrUmP”. Indeed, ignore our General when he gives guidance or asks for your help.
Instead, listen to strangers and foxhole I-Know-Betters. 😘
As for me, “WE” got into this mess, because we got stupid lazy.
Instead of being actively involved in politics, as an ongoing partvof civil engagement, we farmed out our obligation to “Vet” candidates to the media and the political party.
“Just vote straight R, and be done with it! its EASY!”
To instead “just vote for the Trump endorsed candidate, its easy!” is no different.
In 2012, for the first time in 40+ years, I did not mark a choice for POTUS, after always voting “straight Republican”.
WASN’T going to vote for Obummer, of coarse, but COULD NOT vote for Romney/Ryan.
“Hold my nose?!!” That wouldn’t do anything to stop the projectile vomiting all over the ballot and booth that would have occurred.
After that, I realised I could no longer vote for a RINO, ever again.
In the 2018 midterms, I watched the State Republican party manipulate the defeat of the MAGA candidate in the primary, by running a splitter so that McSally ‘won’ the primary and went up against Synema in the General.
I watched PDJT call McSally down to the stage at an Az rally, and give her the most backhanded and insincere endorsement, ever.
And so NO, I did NOT vote for McSally, and yes Synema won.
And endorsement is not an order from a general, it is a reccomendation.
Many DO criticise PDJT for his endorsement of RINOS.
Thing is, it is OUR responsibility to take over our State party, and insure that we have strong MAGA Candidates, that have the backing of a MAGA State party, so that PDJT doesn’t have to decide betwen a MAGA candidate with struggling campaign (due to no party support) and a RINO, with party support.
And so thats what I and other Az Republicans have done.
Hence, in THIS midterm, I can comfortably vote for all 12 of PDJT’s endorsed candidates.
(actually only 9, as the other 3 aren’t on my ballot)
Point is, don’t blame PDJT if he endorses a MAGS where you live.
YOU live there, HE doesn’t.
Its up to YOU to fix your State party, not him.
While there is still work to do, we do have operational control of our State party.
We have censured and voted out Rinos that were ‘elders’ in the party.
“Vote for America First Republican Candidates only,…and ONLY vote for America First Candidates.”
Dr. Kelli Ward
Az. State Republican Party Chair
Why don’t you vote for 3rd party for pres?
Okay; so why didn’t you vote for Ron Paul in 2012?! We wouldn’t be in this mess today if dyed-in-the-wool establishment-ruled Republicans/”Conservative” had gone for the one candidate who clearly stated the values, principles, and policies true Constitutionalists and freedom lovers say they want.
Why no outrage at what that establishment did to Ron Paul’s supporters, during the whole campaign, leading up to and especially during the Republican convention in Tampa, FL?!
Most of the time I appreciate your comments, Dutchman. But the continued pretended invisibility of Ron Paul when you brought up the 2012 candidates just disproves your argument.
yeah, milley is a general,and you really should be careful about Trumps endoresments. thats the big problem with Trump, if reelected he will probly pick lez cheney for AG.
I live in Polk County (central FL). I went to the polls at 9:30 and not ONE person was there except the poll workers. I asked about lines of people and they said I was the head of the line. I literally felt sick!! There were 4 school board positions, a congressman and some judges, and I had done my research. I hope there were more voters as people began to get off work. I did wear one of my shirts from The Flag Company, and 3 0f the 4 poll workers asked where they could get one. LOL I gave them the web site information.
If I were a disillusioned Democrat, I would go Independent. In fact, being a disillusioned Republican I am thinking of going Independent too.
It matters depending on your State laws. Many years ago, I decided to register as an Independent, and I did. The problem??? The State would not allow me to vote at all in the Primaries.
This is the same State that now has “ranked-choice-voting.” The Lefties in Southern Maine (all rich Libtards who moved here from MA) and the liberal cities such as Portland. Lewiston and Auburn, who have made themselves sanctuary cities with the aid and assistance of Catholic Charities, are turning this once Great Red State Blue. Gov Janet Mills (Dem) is a total libtard; Susan Collins (RINO) is not much better. It used to be a nice quiet piece of God’s Country. Now it’s as slimy as other sh!ff holes.
I registered as an non-affiliated here in Colorado.
As a result, in the primary we had just a while back I was sent mail in ballots for both Republican and Democrat candidates with instructions to pick one of the ballots and vote and then destroy the other.
Check with your state and see what your options are.
As a non-affiliate I still had the option to vote in the primary here in Colorado.
But if I had registered as an Independent I would not have.
Weird I know.
Yes. I did the same thing and found I had to register with a Party.
How is the Somalian & various other “diversity” dumped into Maine working out? They like to dump “diversity” in low crime, low tax, high quality of life areas so they can be destroyed. Curious what a Maine native would say about it
Same for me. I haven’t affiliated with either party for years. I registered as a Republican to vote for my favorite president in the 2016 election.
There is no one else I will vote for president except Trump.
Because… as our favorite all American girl— Hilary claims, “What difference does it make?”
RINO or DEMONCRAT— they slurp at the same trough. I don’t see anyone else, who hasn’t sold out, who has hinted at running.
I’m holding off until after the Presidential Primaries in 2024. In Florida you have to be registered in a party to vote in the primaries.
Went independent long time ago yet have voted R in all elections since Nixon. Why belong to a party I can never be a part of. A while back I believed a MAGA party was the way to go. I’m still mulling it over. Voting RINO serves no purpose.
“Voting RINO serves NO purpose”????
None?
All or NOTHING?
Personally, I’ve become a fan of genius builder Trumps interactive Political Jenga matches. In Political Jenga, voting RINO and defeating DINOs, definitely serves a purpose; advancing Trumps mission to Save America from NWO psychopaths.
Notice that the number of remove/elect Political Jenga requests President Trumps made have been increasing since his first requests in 2017.
Notice the number of people since his election who removed themselves by announcing retirement.
Or don’t. 😘
So, I assume you attended local monthly Republican party meetings, and they shunned you?
Or, you never once attended a local Republican party meeting, held every month in every precinct in all 57 States?
Never got the new member packet, that includes a copy of the by-laws?
Never worked as a precinct captain, supervising volonteers involved in GOTV and registration drives in your neighborhood?
“Why belong to a party I can never be a part of?”
Did you even TRY?
Precinctstrategy.com. take over the party and expel maggots like Thune.
I registered as No Party Affiliation where I live many years ago. The only primaries I get to vote in are ones where they don’t go by parties, such as judges, school board, other commissions. I want nothing to do with R’s or D’s. Vote for the person, not affiliation. I am Independent.
Don’t like what’s being served.
Reaction?
Avoid the kitchen where the menus created and the meals are prepared.
Another reaction to consider:
https://theprecinctstrategy.com
Please all you “no party affiliation” treepers who enjoy being able to say “I am an Independant” PLEASE read the precinct strategy, and understand how it works, but you can’t do it as an Independant.
And know that it was a Republican Party strategist who came up with the idea of using the word “Independant” as a label for unaffiliated, because of the psychology.
People LIKE to think of themselves as “Independant”.
Same guy came up with “Republicans, the party of stupid”
You probably agree, not recognising the manipulation.
Republicans do not do what they do, and not do what they don’t do, because they are;
Stupid
Lazy
Cowardly
Greedy
or “fighting by marquis of queensbury rules, while Dems streetfight” another lie concocted by this party operative.
All of those ‘explanations’ excuse their behavior, and distract from the truth; they are COMPLICIT.
The “fight” is like WWF, its “fixed” and the Rs always lose.
In short, in registering as unaffiliated, and proudly calling yourself “Independants” you fell for one of his manipulations, and surrendered much of your opportunity AND responsibility as a voter, which is far more than marking a ballot.
Correction, after posting this, THEN I clicked on the link for thevprecinct strategy, and found that GOOGLE has mucked it up.
Which shows how much of a threat it is.
Basically, its a plan to go into your local R party meeting, become a precinct captain, recruit a bunch of MAGA people, and (assuming the local R leaders are RINOS) VOTE THEM OUT, and replace them with MAGA.
And the ‘move up’.
And it WORKS, but you have to be a registered Republican.
Go to precinctstrategy.com, (not THEprecinctstrategy); that URL worked fine for me.
I need to do that too. So sick of RNC calling me for $ and I get mad and tell them not to call me until Liz Cheney wicked witch of the west is gone. She’s not gone yet.
Once on the RNC list you never can leave! I switched to independent from Republican and continue to get the bs from the RNC. Looking at the mailers they continue to pretend to support PDT and now with scales off my eyes they really anger me. RNC truely thinks we are idiots based on the mail outs.
And WINRED too. Insulting comments.
Im disgusted with the donation tactics too. I’m a TRUMPER, donated a few hundred dollars for my favorite REPUBLICANS. I’m 87 survive on SS, live from paycheck to paycheck. Me and 2 senior SS daughters live together so we can afford the rent. TODAY I entered STOP on every donation request because of the anxiety they cause making me feel I’m not doing my share, “are you AZ Democrat nor”, “We’ve contacted you 6 times and you didn’t respond” “if you don’t chip in we will lose House and Senate” “why are you ignoring us” Don, Jr “Why are you ignoring my father.” Nobody reads your responses and explanation why you have no money, that my account is overdrawn for 3rd month… dozens of donation requests. Demeaning requests. I can’t take it anymore. Makes me feel like their quota is down because I can’t donate more, depressing. So by entering STOP I won’t be berrated anymore. I’VE DONATED 3-4 hundred dollars surviving on SS.
Just throw them away, unopened. Let the gullible pay for it all.
You just vote your conscience. And be at peace that you are doing the only thing that REALLY counts, not making some stupid avaricious rich people who don’t know you and DON’T CARE, richer.
The single good thing I can say about John Thune is that, compared to The Turtle, he has just one chin and no wattles.
Give him a few decades as McConnell’s successor, he’ll catch up.
🥰🥰😝🥰😝😝😝
A closed primary State is a double edged sword. A post election Party change is not out of the question, just for the sake of sand.
Uh, guys – uh…
There’s no actual Independent Party on any ballot.
I am among those who kind of wished PDJT had started one in February of 2021 (with a cool name of course). But he didn’t so that’s that.
Hostile takeover of the Pubs is the only game in town. And we’re doing pretty well at it for just starting out.
Sundance is correct on how it needs to be played. Ignore red/blue team nonsense (the swapping of those colors that occurred a couple of decades ago was meant to hand the concept of “true blue” to the evildoers, by the way, instead of keeping it where it then belonged).
Keep ferreting out the RINOs and pick them out of the party one by one, carefully, like the lice they truly are.
I agree, why should we flee. Let’s run off the RINO’S.
I once changed my affiliation to Independent in my State (ME) and I was prohibited from voting in the “primaries.” I then re-registered as a Repub.
That’s still 62% uniparty.
True!
It’s like everyone saying, we cannot vote in the primary, well change the dam laws. Nothing will change till we change our mind set and get off our butts and do it!
Heck make it so Independents Non-affiliates or others what ever they call us, can vote for what ever candidates they want in the primary and general elections. A lot of Republicans would go Independent if they knew they could vote in the primary. Dare say even Democrats would go Independent.
Nothing is easy, but if we do nothing, we watch our country end.
Loren, you know not what you ask. Many states have open primaries, and it SUCKS. It would be great if everyone just cast a vote for who they want to win. When you have open primaries however, the Lib Dems will vote en mass for the weaker (non MAGA) candidate in the Republican primary, clearing the way for a Democrat win in the general.
Clearly as of now, they only need to cheat steal their way to a win.
Again clearly we need to change the way we are thinking about politics, change our mind set as you stated, that is what needs to change. The idea there is no hope of change. This is the way it is and that’s that!
If you notice what I wrote, Independents Non-affiliates others or whatever they may be called can vote for Republican or Democrat. I am sure some Democrats voted for Chaney, but to no avail.
We also know the places like California NY Illinois and a few other places will vote DemonRat no matter what, even if it means their own death. But the rest of the country we can out number them to make them non-relevant. We literally out number them, Rinocrats/DemonRats.
So it sounds like what you want is the “jungle primary” where the “top two” go to a run off unless there is a majority winner in the primary. So here in Hawaii it would mean always two Dems would be in the general. My state does not have any sort of party affiliation requirement. If you want to join the Rep party, it’s because you want to participate in party business such as conventions.
62% … and falling. But it’s not 100% marxist globalist like democrat party, at least. And republican party was higher percentage uniparty not long ago.
Romae non fuit dies.
Sundance is red-pilling his “treeppers” . . . but hold on before registering.
There’s been a love affair w/DeSantis & Noem, myself included. But I believe 45’s 100% in control and it’ll work out. The amount of information being put out there is huge. And my hunch is, Sundance is close to our real president. Just a hunch but a strong one. IMO.
Deception, he’s in touch with someone running the show. Just read the beginning sentence of this article. “I’ve been advised to report on Senator John Thune.”
Leaving that aside, it appears we are in the guts of the battle right now. We have opened up pustules everywhere and we have more foot soldiers on the ground than ever before.
I agree with you about President Trump and would never bet against what he sets out to do. He has God on his side.
in my mind, all of these others are simply corrupt imposters willing to sell their soul for a dollar bill.
Yes, I agree. And it’s been affirmed time and again the Lord is watching out for Trump and his family. Tons of prayers help. 🙂
During Pres. Trump’s campaign and into his Administration; he did comment about “The Conservative Treehouse” and quoted Sundance on at least 2 occasions that I recall.
I have no doubt he has paid staff that scours the web and printed publications; passes along important messages.
No doubt many, many other groups/agencies, etc. linger here also…beware.
Yes, years ago when I started following Sundance, I promoted his outlet to many who’ve been since following. And Rush gave many shout-outs to the “The Refuge” and Sundance’s investigative excellence. But what’s unique w/this venue, I’ve noticed and respected, is Sundance’s appreciation and sensitivity to his subscribers.
What is SUNDANCE?
Then why doesn’t he seem to know about toxic clot shot. He’s still bragging about getting the vaccine to the public quickly.
I’m 87, no COVID test, no mask, no COVID, no JABS, not even Flu shots last 8 years. Natural immunity works. More they’re coming you with

There was an interesting segment on the “WatchMAGA” meme for Monday, August 22, 2022 –
it was about the babies/children who had missed the doctor visits/immunizations they normally receive now at a very young age – WatchMAGA had a chart showing that SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) rates fell dramatically – did the babies missing those shots miss “the opportunity” to be a SIDS statistic?
I started watching WatchMAGA’s weekly videos on youtube and then also on rumble.com –
I found as I watched the videos on youtube, there were “redacted” parts – but on rumble, those parts were not redacted –
now I watch it mainly on rumble (I have a “subscription” to the WatchMAGA videos so I just scroll down through my list of subscriptions to watch the new videos. If you have ROKU, you can add rumble to your lineup of streaming channels or you can go on to your pc and go through the internet to rumble.com
I agree, but TRUMP needs to come back now. Joe Biden DID NOT WIN. The Audit proved that. WTP are being hurt every day by Joe’s incompetence. And people are BELIEVING they will be affected by his EOs even though TRUMP says everything Joe does will be UNDONE.
The guys running against Thune & Noem leave us no choice. Looks like we have to hold our nose & vote for lesser of the evil Democrats, or RINOs as some say.
Agree, but I may just not vote for Thune or Dusty Johnson. Despise them.
Collin Duprel looks a lot better than Dusty–he is pro-life…
‘or RINOs as some say.’ –
so what do you say? – just askin……
I changed to Independent after the election and the Repubs did nothing to about
the election.. and it is nice cuz you don;t get all the emails and mailing from
anyone…
I write FOAD on all the money pleas I get.
Help me out. What’s FOAD?
Eff off and die.
f off and die
Eff off and die. 😀
did any of your independent candidates win?
If you think te Dems and the Repubs are frauds, wait until you see the independents.
how much do they steal?
Consider, as a hypothetical, a Senate with 47 GOPe crooks, 47 Dem crooks, and 6 ‘independents/unafilliated senatecritters. Each one like Manchin.
Much harder for the mob leaders to corral for unified kabuki theft.
Time for term limits
I am an Independent. I refuse being part of the GOP as long as they bought.
Sitting on the sidelines waiting to see if they’ll change?
What would motivate that change?
I was an independent recently, but switched my registration so I could vote AGAINST my incumbent Republican congressman who is in his 8th term. I’ll even vote for the Democrat now, out of spite.
In my 50s and have been registered as Independent since Reagan. It’s the only way for me.
I’ve long contended that no principled conservative could be a member of either party.
We dont register by party in Virginia. I like that.
In many states Independents are boxed out of voting in the primaries
In ALL states, only registered republicans can be part of their local GOP precinct.
Precinct members find candidates to run for all jobs on the ballot. Precincts are where the primary election menu is created.
Registering as an Independent means, at election time, you choose between the candidates R and D’s serve up. Or you vote third party/sit it out and get what other people pick for you.
Back around 2016, MAGA started infiltrating and taking control of the Establishment Rs kitchens aka GOP precincts.
Consequently, MAGA gained control of finding and vetting candidates to run for all positions on the ballot.
At first local positions, then county and now some states.
After the 2020 election steal, this stealth op started growing; pushed by alt media influencers including Bannon.
It became successful enough for Corporate Media to start screeching about this new MAGA threat to dEmoCraCy.
Since the op was no longer covert, President Trump shared a link earlier this year asking everyone to get involved.

Please reject the CIA hyped 60s advise to “drop out”. Instead, emulate 60s marxists. Drop in. Get involed. Take over.
Rrspectfully disagree.
My reasons are the real problem is, as outlined by Sundance, the Uniparty.
ONE party, masquerading as two.
After Perot, the Uniparty changed the rules in order to make it as a practical matter impossible to create a NEW 3rd party, and IMHO took over control of the leadership of the established 3 rd parties as well.
Thats why Rand Paul, a libertarian by nature, ran for Pres. as a Republican.
In my view we must destroy this Uniparty, and we do that by an insurgency to take control of STATE Republican party chapters.
In order to do that, we use our superiority in numbers, just like we do with “swamp the vote”, we go into precincts, 200-400 strong, and vote out the RINOS.
But, only registered Republicans can attend Republican party meetings and vote.
And, of coarse Independants can’t vote in Republican primaries.
I actually think the whole “register Independant” was a strategy to aid the Uniparty, it certainly doesn’t hurt it any.
Do you know how many registered Republicans there are in the U.S.?
Or Registered Democrats?
No, you don’t. NOBODY does, least of all the RNC and DNC.
1/2 Of the States do not record party affiliation of voters when registering.
And the Uniparty WANTS it that way.
People like the sound of “Independant”,…the reality is we HAVE a “party system”, its corrupted into a one party system, and the only way left to fix it, is to sieze control of one of the two parties.
Respectfully and IMHO, Registering independant only makes sense if you think that our responsibility to vote consists of marking a ballot at election time.
If, on the other hand you see it as a broader responsibility to not just mark the ballot, but to be actively involved in the process that detirmines what names are ON the ballot, you obviously can not fullfill that responsibilty as a registered independant.
Perhaps Neuter would be a better term.
You have no understanding of politics. Trump endorsed candidates have won 98% of the races.
You switch to independent, run unknown candidates that have no support, you’ll watch them be defeated.
Trump endorsed candidates will support America, not the elites.
It’s not a party; it’s a designation.
We tried to join, but in Louisiana politics, you can only vote democratic or republican in a federal election.
Mitch’s term doesn’t end until 2027. That is a long ways off. He is 80. It disturbs me that we have accepted for so long that Pelosi and McConnell, and others remain in power for decades at a time.
We really screwed up by keeping them in and not insisting on our own term limits as the Founders wanted us to do. It really makes me wanna puke when these people talking about their “public service” to our Nation.
The founders never envisioned Senators being elected. The were originally designed to be appointed by the State Legislature. The senate would represent the states.
Exactly! Funny how adopting “democratic” policies ended up destroying our representative “republic”.
If State Senates don’t elect our federal representatives, then the Federal and State objectives don’t have to align. The voting Public is less invested in getting State Reps, and relegates them to second tier. We end up with worse candidates all around, and less actual accountability.
It is much harder to command a senatecritter appointed by a State Senate, than a senatecritter dependent on obeying the turtle in order to get something for the senatecritter’s state.
The Supreme Court is responsible for the destruction of individual Senator voting consideration based on the interests of the State’s Citizens. The SC rejection of the “line item veto” permitted the congresscritters leadership bullies to violate the Congressional budgeting responsibilities . They now produce a massive single-vote up-or-down bill at the last minute OR THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN. Any non-robotically-obeying, noncompliant congresscritter gets cut out of both graft, and necessities for constituents.
Another wrong turn by the compromised SC.
I just wish We the People would wise up that shutting down this excuse we now have for a “government” even for an hour would be a very good thing.
Actually, the SCOTUS had nothing to do with it. Federal Senator-ship was severed from the election and determination of their state’s legislature when they passed the 17th Amendment.
TPTB weren’t getting to compliance they wanted, and for some reason the American people seem to accept the idea that Fed Senators should be selected by popular vote, instead of by their own state legislature. The hoodwinking is critical.
A State-selected Fed Senator would, by necessity, have only his state’s interests at heart, against the machinations of the Fed gov. He would either do the bidding of his state’s legislature or be ousted.
The 17th Amendment actually negated the very Constitution a Federal Senator is supposed to pledge an unbreakable oath to.
The only Federal body supposed to be elected by popular vote is the House of Representatives, Constitutionally.
The people have abdicated their rights and responsibilities for their own freedoms by ignorantly and greedily walking away from the only documents in history written to defend and protect them from a corrupted and evil overclass.
How many of us are willing to correct that egregious mistake today, when most of us don’t even know and understand what’s been done to us by us?
Term limits are useless against the professional political class, with the deep bench sitting on corporate boards until their next turn in an office. Add in the corruption of public employee unions together with a bloated regulatory behemoth wherein the acolytes routinely cycle in and out of the official offices to the industry counterparts, always at a higher compensation than the previous position.
The answer, at least in the elected offices, is to require that every vote they cast must be cast from their home district/area and must be cast on the record, in public, with the public free to attend and observe all the doings. Require every vote to be cast within reach of those who are represented by the person casting the vote.
I’d like to see the definition of term limits being the maximum number of years that a person can hold elected, appointed or SES offices as an aggregate – NOT the number of years in any one office. Not clear. As an example: 12 years term limit – can be a mixture of 6 yrs as a senator, 4 years as a representative, and 2 years as a secretary of some Federal department or another – equaling 12 years. Then that individual would be ineligible for any other Federal post.
You know, with the proven ability to work remote, I kinda like this. Make them work and vote on bills in the communities they serve. Make them look their constituents in the eye as they get that cup of Java at Starbucks.
I hear you, Leavemygunsalone. Many of us would not have come to understand what is going on and has been going on, except for DJT making it clear to We The People. We were being fed a bucket of lies by the Uniparty (so-called Reps). Well, now the lies (and worse) are exposed.
Mitch is being called out, as are others.
HAVE we really accepted the status quo?…..think about what has happened especially the last three election cycles and carry that backward a bit……..I would forward that many current “politicians” were selected rather than elected and I do not mean by their parties, I mean by the MACHINES
Look at the Dingell Dynasty in Detroit. John Sr., then John Jr. and then John Jr.’s wife, Debbie –
during that same time period – over 86 years – Detroit has gone down the tubes from a thriving, busy place with work for skilled labor – all the automotive manufacturing and the related businesses – beautiful new cars rolling down Woodward, so exciting to be a part of something being BUILT –
my Dad was in the cable manufacturing business in Glendale, California – many, many years ago (1956-1969) – it was exciting to me even as a child, seeing parents and their friends/colleagues getting the plant ready, my Dad had designed a machine/process and it was very exciting. I had that feeling also when working at a small-town newspaper when I was in high school – the press had been built in 1903 and I always remembered that because that is the year my Mom’s Mom was born – oh, what noise and vibration rumbling – along with the old linotype machines – and ink – hot off the press – and the “fragrance” I would say of molten metal when the bars of type were being melted down again – the clunk of the ancient Addressograph machine hat was my job to operate, to create new address plates for the out-of-town subscribers. There is something that can really thrill your heart, working in a plant where machinery is roaring along and things are happening.
So we have both Democrats and Republicans who just don’t give two cents for the people they are supposed to represent, whether it is the Dingell Dynasty in Detroit or the would-be Cheney Dynasty in Wyoming, for two examples.
We need to drop them all off on the rail – remember, being “ridden out on a rail after being tarred and feathered”.
Well, the wonderful gallery of those photos of politicians losing out to MAGA, that’s a “tar and feather” operation in a way, drawing those red X’es over their mugs. Someone like Liz Cheney is so clueless and whiny, it’s embarrassing to watch someone be so really awkward – of course, why should I be embarrassed, she’s the one who should be embarrassed –
I guess I could say I am somewhat mortified that I voted for her father along with George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004 and it was a very ungratifying relationship, ultimately. I stuck up for those two, time and again at family gatherings – even got turkey gravy splashed on my nice shoes – then when it came down to it, George W. did not only not defend himself and his administration but then was and is – with Dick Cheney and his dippy daughter – part of the attack gang on MAGA.
Suejeanne, don’t feel bad about voting for Bush and Cheney – remember who they were running against.
I feel your pain, Suejeanne. I also voted for w in 2000; I was so happy that an adult (I thought)was replacing little willie klinton. I soon realized that w was governing only slightly right of where algore would have been. In 2004 I knew that there was very little difference between w and john kerry; it really made no difference which one became potus, so I voted write-in for a local talk show man.
And the benighted w was the crud who installed the shiny, new machinery of a police state in the deceptively named “patriot act”. I read several years ago that the bushes have purchased a huge part of western Brazil. They must be planning to bug out when the poo hits the fan.
Mitch has spoken about retiring several times since 2021.
“The Old Crows” waiting to see how his Republican civil war election battles with President Trump turns out on November 8.
“Within this dynamic Mitch McConnell is the mirror image of Harry Reid.”
Let me demonstrate:
In 2010, TEA Party favorite and strict constitutionalist Sharron Angle won the GOP primary going away, and then the GOP handlers afrrived and sent her on national fund-raisers instead of her reliable in-person appearances throughout NV during the primary.
Soon after her primary win, she flew to DC to meet the GOP power brokers. When she was in Mitch’s office, he told her (and this is a quote directly from her) “I can WORK with Harry Reid!!”
Let’s think about the premise of this Uniparty belief that MAGA is such a threat, at least from an eGOP economic perspective. Threat to what exactly? Are you telling me that the professional elected grifter class and their families would be unable to prosper at the same time the working/middle classes prosper? That there is no possible outcome where national/multinational corporatism coexists synergistically with what is ultimately their consumer base? The only answer is that the level of greed is so Herculean (and the desire for power over others to facilitate that greed has absolutely no boundaries) that they are intellectually incapable of any other approach than the “one path”. One question: in a Leftist totalitarian state (one that they are doing everything to usher in), embracing everything marxist/communist/socialist, do these RINOs truly believe they would be allowed to keep their fortunes? Really? What happens to useful idiots when they’re no longer useful?
This comment brings me back to one of the truisms Bongino came up with (though he hasn’t impressed me lately).
He always said (paraphrasing) his Secret Service experience showed him that the DC swamp creatures, House and Senate, are amongst the dumbest people on the planet…
(By the way, this does not prevent them from also being among the greediest, power-mad, and evil people on the planet.)
Politicians are elected on their ability to look people in the face, and lie. Critical thinking is to be avoided on their part, it’s all about the con. If you’re not a lying crook, there is no place in any state capital, or Washington, for you. That is the state of our country today. Take the wretched, feeble, pathetic, sack of Crap, occupying the white house for example number one.
Bongino has never impressed. I’ve always thought he was Even More Boisterous Sean Hannity.
I’ll never forget when his show edited the PDJT interview. He claimed it wasn’t him. Then take your name off the show.
Yes they will keep their because D vs. R is pro wrestling and the Fed bankers across the world are the McMahon family from WWE… Unless the bankers take all of the D’s out too.
Useful idiots are always taken out.
And they never see it coming.
This is why I do not refer to them as the uniparty. It is the Official Government Party. There are no legitimate “parties” in this country outside of the Official Government Party. The OGP consists of Democrats, about 70% of elected Republicans, Federal employees (appointed and career), and the Official Government Media (the usual suspects, but also Conservative Inc. outlets like National Review and Ben Shapiro).
The Soviets had the Communist Party and they plundered the country and became very rich and powerful. We have the OGP and as they deploy FBI shock troops to attack their enemies, destroy dissent, and dictate Officially Approved Speech, they look more and more like the Communist Party each day.
I had my Ron DeSantis moment in 2016 with Ted Cruz who turned out to be a total OGP fraud. I changed my party affiliation to “unaffiliated” and never went back. I was disappointed but unsurprised, to see DeSantis bend over and grab his ankles to take his OGP enema.
I changed my party affiliation in the mid 80’s from Dem to unaffiliated ( I was raised Dem). But I never felt in alignment with the GOP although I started voting straight GOP in 2008. Now, the only person I support is Trump and I vote for whoever he endorses. I will vote for Ted Bund for Senate here, but I really think he is a RINO…but Trump endorsed him and the opposition is an extreme left gay person…
My dad was high up in AFL-CIO, mom spouted Dems as “good” people doing what’s right for the “working man.” 8 children…7 conservative and 1 Dem. Irony!
As soon as I read your mention of National Review, I saw red, as in my blood is boiling. National Review is a FAKE CONSERVATIVE site. They ALL have TDS. I keep them on my list of sites “to check out” every few days , just to gain insight to them.
Nat Review is now a bona fide ANTI-TRUMP rag.
“Nat Review is now a bona fide ANTI-TRUMP rag.”
The website Hot Air: Same.
(zipper problems not withstanding)
So, the internet is pretty cleaned about this stuff.
Wasn’t there something going around about him and Kristi Noem? 🤔
Zipper problems always seem to help Dems and hurt the others.
And it is the RIGHTCwing of the Uniparty bird, that has been its strongest wing in furthering the agenda Of the bird.
Our traditionally center right nation could NEVER have been moved so far left, not even with “the enemy of the people” msm, without the right wing GOPe/RNC, both facillitating the slide, and BLOCKING any genuine conservative alternative.
Only once you fully accept that, can you grasp that focusing your ire and energy against ‘those damn dems’ is a useless distraction.
However, focusing your energy on the RIGHT wing of the Uniparty, neutering it as a weopon against us SO THAT we have actual political opposition, makes it EASY to defeat “the Dems”.
And the strength OF the Right wing of the Uniparty, is all in its STEALTH. ONLY by maintaining its illusion AS the “Conservative alternative” can the bird continue to fly.
Like a warplane, take away its stealth, and its just another target, easily shot down.
And, take out the right wing, and the Uniparty bird falls, cause a one winged bird can not fly.
Sorry for the mixed metaphores, but you get the gist. I have been posting this same “broad strategy” for 6 years now, even as I have watched it play out.
THIS is the broad strategy, and the ‘precinct strategy’ as I have expounded and expanded, outlined the tactics.
And, those tactics include focusing MORE attention on local to State level, both in R party AND elected positions.
Same concept as Federalism. It will take MANY years to sieze control of Congress from mitch and his ilk.
But, control THE R PARTY, and Government, at the STATE level, and we strip them of the control they so crave.
Exactly. Some want a quick fix. Myopic focus on the Federal level when it needs to start on the Local and State, from the ground up.
One party.
Dominance as the goal.
Money and power.
Inner circle club. Protection of the inner circle secrets.
Hm…
Sounds like the Masonic Lodge.
Tough to vote that out-they have blood oaths.
When I saw the ‘ TopGov’ Top gun ad for Ron DeSantis during last nights Tucker show, it made me feel like ok he’s running for Prez. Just as Sundance has told everyone. And I live in Maryland so there’s a reason why that ad showed all the way up here.
I actually have a relative very active in the Republican party of Florida . Ron DESANTIS and Donald Trump will not be running against each other. That’s a Fact.
How can Bunker Boy run against the rightful President if Trump is not allowed to run? Oh wait….
I agree that if the Uniparty fails in denying Trump eligibility to run, spit shine Ronny wont run but thats not what they promised Ronny.
Love that! Bunker Boy Biden..from Delaware.
at least that is what they have been told
I think rather that Trump might be prevented from running–however unjust that is–and the GOPe will throw us DeSantis as the Presidential bone to keep us placated.
I’ve already starting to lobby Ron Johnson against “succession” leadership.
We don’t have monarchies here. It’s not Thune’s “turn” any more than it was Shillary’s turn.
Sick to my stomach by it all. The only thing I can do is get the word out.
Someone should start a RINO meme channel on Youtube.
Just look at the amount of money this guy earns putting up Dem memes
https://www.youtube.com/c/JohnPomaJr/videos
I’ve said on here before that the day I left the Republican Party was one of the best days of my life.
Battered supporter syndrome no more.
It really came down to Obamacare…
GOP: “Help us win back the house, we’ll repeal Obamacare!”
So, I donated money.
GOP: “Wait—our bad! We won back the house, we forgot that we need the senate, too!”
So, I donated more money.
GOP: “ Oh no! We won back the house and the senate, but we need the White House, please donate more money!”
So, I did, and Donald J Trump was elected President.
Then John McCain happened. But it wasn’t just his vote, or him voting. The Rhino GOP Senators hid behind his vote.
After that, they did everything that they could do to derail his presidency. When he got too close to their piggy bank otherwise known as Ukraine, they impeached him.
I still vote for Republicans, but only ones who align with my views on policy. Here in Illinois, I left the Governor’s race blank last time around because Bruce Rauner took my support for granted. Yes, JB Pritzker is horrible and a radical leftist, but I’m not ever going to vote for someone just because they are the lesser of two evils. They need to earn my support.
Tree-Party!
Tree-Party. Never thought of that one – outstanding. As GK Chesterton so notably remarked, “It is terrible to contemplate how few politicians are hanged.”
Wouldn’t it be great if most voters….75%+ became unaffiliated
This may be a tad off topic but I think it’s relevant. I noticed last week RDS campaigned in Girard, Ohio. Girard is a small town near Youngstown.
It was like the RDS crowd knew they need to appeal to populist America First economics but here’s the difference:
When Donald Trump came to Youngstown he filled up the YSU Beegly Center Arena. Easily 10,000 or so in that arena. I know, I was there.
RDS filled up a small conference center in Girard. Maybe 500 or 1,000 people….at the most. No offense to Girard, I wish that small town well.
My point is that Donald Trump still has the following, it’s only getting stronger and DJT still has the America First economic chops.
RDS needs a strong America First economic message relating to the Midwest and Appalachian Rust Belt.
I haven’t seen or heard it yet and I’m watching this closely.
Thanks Sundance, even though I’m not the one that requested. Been tempted to.
I do share a lot of “The Last Refuge” articles with friends and the FB group “Primary John Thune.”
Most people in SD don’t cotton to Thune that much any more. As many say, Thune might have been good in the very beginning of his career. Then Thune took a bite of the DC apple and became just like the rest. Many do believe that Thune and Noem did not actually win as big as the end result says.
k–when Thune was elected the first time, my late hubby and I were living in rural west central Minnesota, not far from the SD line, so we followed SD politics as well as MN and ND. I remember the excitement and enthusiasm for his initial campaign and election. His value now obviously does not exist because he’s from SD: his present value arises out of his usefulness to The Club.
Just had a dear friend escape Oregon (like you did) and removed to Nebraska. I suspect she’s having a mix of get-acquainted experiences similar in some ways. The entire nation is corrupted, in varying degrees by region.
I thought it was good at the time when Thule lost his congressional seat in 2003. I thought he was gone. But then he squeaked into the Senate. SD seems to owe too much getting favors from others.
I’m working hard in AZ to erase the McCain left-over stains. Lake, Masters, Hamadeh, Finchem are a great start. In CD6 the establishment went full speed to get Ciscomani elected in the primary even though he wouldn’t do PBS debate and 1 other. He has worked for Ducey 7 years and CofC before that groomed for the position. He’s a HUGE McCain stain and even though he has an R by his name I will NO LONGER HOLD MY NOSE AND VOTE FOR HIM, like McCain’s mother suggested when John was running.
Watch a Jesse Kelly episode on Rumble with Lee Smith. He makes it very clear why both sides hate Trump.
I hate to even bring this up, but seeing as Kari Lake is the flavor of the month among MAGA brethren right now, it’s worth remembering that 48 months ago, Kristi Noem was just as well-regarded among conservatives. And now she’s just another GOPe-owned fraud.
So let’s give Kari Lake a little more time to establish her MAGA bona fides before we fall all over ourselves to anoint her the VP candidate in waiting, or more.
We are so hungry to identify the next genuine MAGA hope, that sometimes we are too quick to hail someone as “authentic” only to have them disappoint us.
I don’t remember whether Kristi ever mentioned election fraud – did she?
Kari, meanwhile, is shouting it from the rooftops.
Be skeptical of everyone until they give you a reason not to be nowadays.
I called Kristi Noem out on social media for her nonsense with boys wanting to participate in girls sports and how she “didn’t want to get sued” and her stance on not protecting people that just wanted to feed their families and not get the jab! I spotted her a mile away!
you are correct, we MAGA types are forever hopeful!
Trust your gut instincts.
If you were to interview for a potential job… and one of these people were either running the company or your future boss, would you accept an offer.
Based on that filter alone, you could eliminate 95% of the politicians just by their look and demeanor.
You mean this look…https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftse3.mm.bing.net%2Fth%3Fid%3DOIP.lFro5pQRL0YtObzUsOSmBQHaLH%26pid%3DApi&f=1
The problem for Senator Mike Rounds is that he has no evidence to support his position. He has only an unsupported claim.
On the other side, 2000 Mule video shows us that the 2020 election was an un-prosecuted fraud.
On the other side, we have the Mike Lindell’s Moment Of Truth Summit confirming that the voting machines were fixed. More un-prosecuted fraud.
————–
FBI/DOJ refused to follow presidential orders calling for the declassification of Crossfire Hurricane Documents on Step 2018 and again on Nov 2021. Now they send out a cleanup crew. None of it legal.
.
To Senator Mike Rounds, I say where are you – hiding the truth or revealing the truth?
He was corrupt to the bone as S.D. Governor. Never will understand why he got into Congress.
this makes me sick to my stomach
How is DeSantis a GOPe Decepticon when he he has governed Florida by implementing MAGA policies in opposition to the political establishment? He is consistently MAGA on everything.
He now gets to fillet Turncoat Charlie in Nov general election.
It all depends on the horizon over which one evaluates the loyalty or credibility of an ostensibly conservative politician. Controlled opposition operates on many time short, medium and long-term time scales. For long-term, think of Mike Pence: investing heavily over time in developing conservative credibility only to arrive at the critical moment to spend almost all of it in a single event on Jan 6th. He has drained the rest of it with his support of GOPe actors (Kemp, etc…) since then. Many other GOP politicians also spent their apparent accumulated credibility that day in Congress.
The challenge is to see beneath the developing facade before public moves make it all too obvious so that we are not surprised later. Sundance is making the case that DeSantis is likely fabricated from this mold and that we need to be very astute and wise in our assessment as to his true allegiance.
These actors need to be dethroned when they move out of their hidden credibility-building phase, when they do positive things, before getting established in a new role where they can do damage. Easier said than done across the electorate, but with the plethora of new media sources that the conservative voting base follows, it might be possible.
he offers MAGA crumbs; the rest of the cake never appears
also, he has a lot of great press, about himself, by his own design
add to that mix a republican legislature
We were able to throw a wrench in their plans in 2016, because we had Trump and 16 other candidates…all of which were club “insiders” to one degree or the other. Regardless of what they tried to do, we stuck with Trump. As Rush used to say, “if the media didn’t make you, they can’t break you…only Trump can break the bond he has with people, cause he built that bond by himself”. If we don’t have him in 2024, or someone else outside of the club system, we’re gonna be stuck holding our noses and having to vote again for the lesser of two evils.
I’m an SD voter and the next time I’m given the false choice “between the lesser of evils” I think I may write in the N.O.T.A. candidate. Not sure what happens if ‘None Of The Above’ were to actually win but it can not be worse than one of two ‘evils’.
Channeling Richard Pryor?
Here in CA I did a lot of that during our last primary. I’m always suspicious that if I just leave it blank whoever’s reviewing my vote will fill in what they want.
The machines will send your ballot to “adjudication” which means filling in whatever ovals they are programmed to fill.
The criminal election “officials” don’t even have to get their hands dirty.
there is a video of a black woman explaining how
the adjudication works when committing voter fraud.
I believe it was in Atlanta and she was explaining
the process to a few people
I wish I would have kept it.
Thank you for that, Little Dickens. I never thought of that. I too am in CA where I hear they PLAN on using the Dominion machines. I can’t figure how nobody has done anything to stop the steal again.
Sad to say Dominion has owned california since around 2000.
Think in SD it may invalidate your ballot. I am leaving mine blank, or if I am really grouchy…I may vote for the Dem candidate.
Both parties have lied to us for decades. So, I have no qualms lying to politicians whether they are the ones telling me I HAVE to declare one party or the other. Or some computer bot telling me I HAVE to vote accordingly. Far as I’m concerned, I’ll vote how I want to . And this time the “party” I’m aligned with is the MAGA Party!
The last 6 months don’t fit. Unless these financial and corporate masters of the universe are all going short and positioned to build into more short bets then take salvage from wreckage on a grand scale.
Energy prices are up worse in the UK and EU than they are here. The leadership in those countries refuse to pivot to a normalized position with Russia and buy Russian oil and gas again. Germany apparently has decided that maintaining their nuclear power plants in safe working order so that they may obtain electricity from those plants would not be worth doing even though there are no viable alternatives in sight if they won’t do business with Russia. They need energy in quantity.
The Biden administration is not far behind in the rush to go over the cliff economically. Our government is emptying our pockets into a raging dumpster fire with no possible good outcome except for Russia, China, Iran, and Turkey.
Who would be a good MAGA candidate to succeed McConnel?
McConnell
Will we have a say in that?
No, of course not.
Wow, that’s just how doctors operate as well.
I’m disappointed to know that Gov. Noem is an open border gal. I never would have thought that. I’m beyond disappointed in our govt.
Our founders came up with the best form of government in the history of man.
In the constitution they developed are checks and balances that theoretically should keep a republican form of government “friendly” to the people.
In the two and a half centuries there has been a breakdown in the checks built into the framework of our government. Over time due to greed and ego imperfect men have usurped the letter and intent of the constitution.
Lately the destruction of freedom has accelerated. It will continue unless we, as citizens, use the final checks that belong to us.
As free men and women we must exercise the checks that are our rights. First we must vote to remove these small evil people that continue to attempt to subjugate we the people. If this check fails to re-establish the health of the constitution we then must use our final check and physically remove those who would enslave us. By force if necessary.
WE are the last defense for this republic.
SD, I think you meant ” a friend of ours” v. “my good friend”, no?
Nailed it Sundance!
The Marxist buzzard has two wings; Bolshevik and Menshevik.
The Bolsheviks took the Democratic krewe under Lyndon and the Menshevik Trotskyites, led by Nelson Rockefeller took the total control of the Republican krewe with Richard Milhouse Nixon.
Hang Tough!
And look at the trouble Nixon got us in. Taking us off the gold standard, which I knew even then was a horrible “mistake” and then China…
Think of the difference in our lives right now if those two things that never happened.
“I think we want to assure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and if they vote that way it’s going to count.”
Let’s dissect that sentence, shall we?
“I think we WANT to ASsure people it’s going to work, it’s secure and IF THEY VOTE that way it’s going to count.”
He did NOT say “I think we NEED to ENsure it’s going to work, it’s secure and WHEN they vote (that way) it’s going to BE countED”
Weasel words to the nth power !! He (by omission) is admitting that it is all about CONNING PEOPLE into THINKING “their vote ‘counts'”. Either that or he is admitting to disenfranchising the voting (IF) electorate!
What a frickin’ snake!
Rant/over
Dude really puts the CON in CONservative, no?
Good dissection.
my earlier post was deleted as I asked questions about the circular firing squad politics. Now i don’t like rinoRats either but questioning every Repub leaves No Candidates on the field, or too little to accomplish anything. Why that view needed to be censored is beyond me.
This link represents my view more succicently:

Well put. Thank you for the clarity and all of your hard work.
At this point I assume all politicians are corrupt. And if they aren’t they will be soon. They have 6 ways to Sunday to turn a good man bad.
We are a bunch of idiots in South Dakota. You could have put the little twit Dusty in with them as well. They are all great at hiding, acting “nice” and saying things like “facts matter”
Never forget that Noem happily attended the installation of China Joe.

Shortly before the 2020 election, John Thune came out singing the praises of the mail-in voting system.
I knew then the fix was in.
Important to refresh perspective annually with Braveheart.
If I remember correctly, Thune got in under the auspices of the Tea Party then immediately did a 180 from Conservative values after he saw the fortunes to be made in our corrupt Capitol.
All of this does wear a person down, that’s for sure. The only thing keeping me going is my kids and their kids – if WE don’t stay the course, how in the world will they have a chance.
Scooby:
And this is why elections are a recurring ritual. Of course, power will corrupt.
And the endless exercise will permit great men to emerge.
Even a filthy election (like 2020) is preferable to no election at all.
Swine like Liz Cheney crave the sanctification that the election process provides. I rule because somebody, somewhere voted for me. Even the monster Saddam Hussein found the electoral process necessary.
Thank you Sundance for boiling it down to a low gravy – as my granny used to say.
It’s good to know the ‘line of succession’ on the right wing of the dirty bird.
If I were a middle school, high school or for that matter higher institute instructor I would teach from the book the 5000 Year Leap and we would explore the nail in our Republic that was the amendment to the 17th Amendment that created the direct election of Senators. States’ rights took a hit that trickles down to all of us being subject to the tyranny of corruption that is the Senate today. These people do not “represent” anyone but themselves. They do as they are told by the “leadership” all the while telling the people who vote, as opposed to the people and interests they actually serve, a pile of caca to manipulate their extension of power and corruption. Once you see it you cannot un-see it. Warner and Rubio have the same goal and support each other on parallel tracks to accomplish it: aggregation of power to achieve wealth. Full stop.
Yes, currently there are TRILLIONS at stake, what many fail to realize is both the US and Chinese economies are headed for collapse. The US through the actions of The Fed and Wall St ( ISDA Banks ) via “derivatives” and China through their Real Estate BUBBLE. In both cases, government malfeasance and complete CORRUPTION have lead us to this point. Our “derivatives exposure” is near a QUADRILLION dollars, yes I know that sounds impossible, but when the GAMBLERS on Wall St make a request to The FED, they get their wish. Imagine waking up one day in the next year thinking you have $2mm dollars in a pension fund for retirement, oops, its ZERO, sorry……Its happening now in China, they are over leveraged only near $30-40 Trillion, now think about a QUADRILLION………Research ISDA Banks, JPMorgan ( Criminal Enterprise ) has assets of $3.4 Trillion, DERIVATIVE EXPOSURE $54 Trillion……..The collapse is imminent. PREPARE you family, this is not crazy talk………Please prepare.
Sundance: “Governor Kristi Noem is the Koch Brothers version of Nikki Haley. A Wall Street donor favorite and open border immigration advocate who has been positioned to be a potential Republican candidate for 2024. An approved republican candidate.”
Where is the evidence that Gov Noem is an “open border immigration advocate”? Link?
Thune needs to be Daschled. He’s been a behind the scenes manipulator and mcconnels beach for a decade. Him and rounds are both decepticons.
Noem is not who she appears to be either.
SD gop is The Most Corrupt gop in the nation and Thune runs it. SD voters are ignorant. I ought to know.
Agreed, the uni-party is the dominant entity in the Washington DISTRICT of CORRUPTION. These corrupters must be replaced. Thune looks more like a thug than a senator.
disagree with your assessment of DeSantis. Otherwise, why the school board election outcomes in FL?
He had to build popular support some way. He is doing what it takes to get elected. After that, all bets are off.
The apple is good until you eat enough to see the worm inside.
