At a national level there is a unique policy priority that almost every politician, on both sides, will avoid discussing. At a national level a single policy priority determines all other national policy outlooks. That policy is the national economic policy.
The national economic policy of a presidential candidate determines all other national policies that flow from the presidential candidate. The national economic policy impacts the obvious policies like energy and trade, and also determines the lesser obvious policies like regulation and even foreign policy.
It is specifically because a candidate’s national economic outlook impacts all other issues, that most national politicians never talk about it.
It would be impossible to support Main Street USA, a popular talking point, and still support the Paris climate treaty, the transpacific trade partnership (TPP) or the transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP).
To avoid the contradictions most democrat and republican politicians avoid discussing their national economic policy. It is an unspoken rule within the billionaire club and donor game, an economic code of omerta amid most political candidates.
President Trump broke the rule and even went so far as to campaign on an America-First economic policy agenda. That core outlook forms the Make America Great Again foundation. MAGA is based on a national economic policy outlook that determines every other national policy as carried by President Trump.
While most Americans may not be able to articulate how the national economic policy impacts them, almost every American feels the consequences through gasoline prices, energy prices, employment, wage rates and the expenses within their everyday lives. To try and hide this reality, often media and economic analysts will say the U.S. President has no control over gasoline prices; however, this is unequivocally false.
Yes, it is true that oil prices are determined by the global market for the product, the supply and the demand. However, the energy policy of the president determines the domestic investment in natural resource development and extraction by oil companies. The energy policy determines domestic supply. The regulatory policy determines the expansion, or lack therein, of oil and gasoline refinery capacity. So yes, it is ultimately the U.S President who determines gasoline prices indirectly through energy and regulatory policy.
If this were not the case, then gasoline would cost nearly the same in almost every nation. It doesn’t. Right now, gasoline in Mexico is almost $1 less than gasoline in the United States, specifically because Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador is not trying to reduce oil resource investment, development and/or gasoline refinery capacity.
President Trump was the first presidential candidate who campaigned on a domestic national economic policy. He even went one step further and stated the T-word, tariffs. Yes, the commerce department holds tools to support a national economic policy.
The tariff tool is another aspect to national economics that most politicians avoid discussing because the toolbox is counter to the interests of Wall Street, multinational corporations and hedge fund managers.
For a reference point you might remember the apoplectic fits from financial and economic punditry to President Trump’s 2017 and 2018 steel and aluminum tariffs.
Economic security is determined by national economic policy. National security is also an outcome of national economic policy. Again, President Trump was also the first modern president to put that outlook to work when he said, “economic security is national security,” and then began constructing a foreign policy agenda using the cornerstone of national economic policy. The result was quite remarkable and led to what eventually became the Trump Doctrine.
It was inherently the US national economic policy that underpinned President Trump challenging NATO to meet their financial obligations. It was national economic policy that drove trade policy and created the north American USMCA trade agreement. It was national economic policy that led to countervailing duties on Chinese and European imports. Which had the remarkable effect of actually lowering prices inside the United States.
We began importing deflation through lower priced goods as the value of the dollar increased and China/EU central banks devalued their currency to avoid the impact of tariffs. Asia and the EU also subsidized their export manufacturing with incentives in order to lower costs as an offset to the tariffs, while simultaneously Asian and European companies began investing in production facilities inside the U.S. as a long-term approach to retaining access to the U.S. market. To put it succinctly, this was MAGAnomics at work.
U.S. wages increased, U.S. job growth increased, U.S. energy prices dropped with increased energy development and a massive cut in regulations, and that in turn lowered the cost of domestic goods. Suddenly we were importing goods at lower prices and generating goods internally at lower prices. More MAGAnomic outcomes, which, not coincidentally, was the exact opposite of all Wall Street claims and predictions.
Making America Great Again, was an outcome of national economic policy. At its core, MAGA is a national economic dynamic within a political movement that is represented by President Donald J Trump.
It is critical to understand, the MAGA economic policy is essentially a national policy completely, and uniquely, under the control of the office of the President. The impact to the lives of Americans is a direct outcome from national economic policy. If a president wants to lead an independently wealthy country, he/she applies a very specific economic outlook to all other policy areas including energy, regulation and foreign policy.
It is also true that opposition to President Donald Trump is uniquely connected to the America-First economic agenda.
Multimillion-dollar lobbyist firms like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, along with dozens of economically established SuperPAC’s funded by Wall Street and multinational corporations, are vehemently opposed to the America-First economic agenda.
All of the national politicians and political candidates taking money from these aforementioned groups necessarily bind themselves to a position that stands against the America-First economic agenda.
In essence, if you take money from the multinationals you cannot deliver on MAGA economic outcomes for banking, trade, finance etc. And that’s exactly where we run into the problem.
Because MAGA national economic priorities conflict with the multinational corporations, hedge funds and the Wall Street donor class, all of the politicians who accept the influence checks from these self-interested groups cannot run on, or deliver, a MAGA national economic agenda.
At a local, county and state level you have direct impact on the political policy agenda in your community. Who you elect to the city council, school board, state house and senate as well as governor’s office has an impact on those local and state priorities. However, national economic policy, national energy and trade policy and national foreign policy are not under your control.
As a result, the same skillset, or policy outlook, that makes a governor a successful state politician doesn’t carry into a federal office, [see the example of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker]. Yes, there are some executive and administration skills that carry over; however, on the bigger issue of steering the national policy agenda, almost every candidate for office comes with the baggage of having accepted donor contributions from a class of people who are paying for economic policy influence.
MAGA cannot be purchased. It is a political outlook that seeks only to enhance the best interests of the American people, regardless of consequence for the multinationals or foreign beneficiaries of globalist U.S. economic policy. Unfortunately, as a result, all of the beneficiaries are aligned to make sure the MAGA economic policy outlook is extinguished. There are literally trillions at stake. This reality underpins the opposition to Donald Trump.
When you understand why the national economic outlook of the President is so important, you can also understand why every political candidate is told not to discuss it by the handlers and campaign managers who are essentially selling their candidate to a millionaire and billionaire donor class who do not want an America-First economic policy agenda.
There is no easy solution for this problem, and ironically this core economic issue is where you find supporters of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in alignment.
Where the Sanders and Trump camps split is on the solution. Team Sanders wants the government to play the role of economic referee (regulation), while Team Trump wants the government to change the rules of the economic game (countervailing duties, tariffs etc).
Before Donald Trump entered politics there was no home for people voting on the issue of a national economic agenda. Both Democrat and Republican candidates had essentially the same worldview on national economic policy because they are all getting money from the same multinational corporate trough. However, President Trump changed that dynamic by presenting an alternative national economic policy called America-First.
For decades middle America was begging the McConnell’s, Ryans, Boehners, Romney’s, McCain’s, Bushes, et al, to make America-Fist economic policies their priority. All of our shouts for help fell upon deaf political ears plugged by corporate donations and influence. Our communities were literally collapsing around us (see rust belt), and yet no national politician would do anything of consequence.
By the time Donald Trump arrived decades of frustration exploded in an eruption of massive applause because he was articulating the central economic issue that was being ignored by the professional political class. The America-First agenda is the restoration agenda. From Trump’s national economic policy, the middle-class erosion stopped. Economic security, specifically U.S. employment stability and wage rates, goes hand in glove with border security and immigration controls.
MAGAnomics is the core of the great MAGA republican coalition, a working-class coalition that cuts through all other distinctions and divisions. It is not republican because of political affiliation, it is “MAGA republican” only because the republican party was the political vehicle selected by Donald Trump to install the policy.
This reality creates a problem for the DC professional political class and the corporate media. Because MAGAnomics is the fundamentally binding principle there is no way to fracture the Trump supporter coalition.
I am a “MAGA republican” by default of my wanting a national economic agenda that looks out for the economic interests of American’s first.
Donald Trump is the irreplaceable Great MAGA King because Donald Trump is the only one who holds that same outlook.
Somebody got up on the gloomy, doomy side of the bed this morning.
Gosh! This was so well done, Sundance. Thank you! Once again you have nailed it. If you are a patriot, if you love your country and don’t want it to be destroyed — this is the line between patriot and traitor, IMHO.
Somebody should send this to DeSantis.
Methinks he knows and it is too late. They made him, now they can break him.
I do hope I’m wrong, we need governors experienced with weapons of nullification.
“The national economic policy of a presidential candidate determines all other national policies that flow from the presidential candidate.”
On that topic, he’s foolishly no different than any other pol:

Trump urges Fed to lower rates by at least 1%, ‘print’ more money

Read
https://amgreatness.com/2022/09/03/its-the-midnight-hour-saving-america-now-requires-ruthless-offense
A clear step by step on things to do beginning with state government telling feds “you don’t operate in my state!
The 800 lb. gorilla on the backs of states is that federal funding has become weaponized against state autonomy.
And your DeSantis can’t win the MAGA vote. I will never vote for him as POTUS. Ever.
Of course Sundance is SPOT ON in his MAGA post.
But, I’ve been raising the same points in previous posts the past couple of weeks as you, Charles.
DJT messed up big time in his WuFlu response—-surrounding himself with Fauci, Birx, Pottinger (waiting for a Sundance expo on this despicable human being!), OWS, and his FAILURE to acknowledge the damage caused by mRNA gene therapy jabs.
The WuFlu propaganda and hysteria has been a HUGE DETRIMENT to national economic policy.
It’s amazing how folks don’t grasp the situation and just want to turn the page!!!
How can one ignore the largest GLOBALIST/CCP campaign in modern history and the havoc it has wreaked on our way of life (lockdowns, masks, jab mandates, HYPERINFLATION, etc. etc. etc.).
And how it served as a “COVER” (instilling irrational fear in the DUMB populace, mail in ballots, racial division) for the UNIPARTY to remove DJT from office!!!
In the past three years of WuFlu hysteria, how many small businesses have been destroyed (including my own which I put my blood, sweat, and tears into for 26 years) in the GREATEST transfer of wealth from the middle class to the GLOBALISTS and mega corps (who are beholden to Vanguard and BlackRock)!
Ask yourselves—-how much purchasing power have you lost in the past three years!!!
That’s the stain on national economic policy!!!!
“DJT messed up big time in his WuFlu response—-surrounding himself with Fauci, Birx, Pottinger (waiting for a Sundance expo on this despicable human being!), OWS, and his FAILURE to acknowledge the damage caused by mRNA gene therapy jabs.”
You do know that your hero, DeSantis, served on that Covid-19 committee, right? Funny how you aren’t mentioning his name in your list of zeroes.
RDS is not my hero—-but he’s done a decent job in my home state.
He wasn’t PRESIDENT at the height of WuFlu hysteria, DJT was.
Stop passing the buck, Michael.
You do know that Trump carried out the recommendations of the task force, right? You know, the one that your hero, DeSantis, served on? So Trump was really just carrying out DeSantis’s orders.
I’ll bet that’s the reason why DeSantis was saying the same things publicly that Trump was, was because they were DeSantis’s ideas. What do you think?
And DJT should have had better folks on that task force (David Martin, Peter McCullough, Robert Malone, Paul Marik, Pierre Kory, etc. etc. etc.).
You are completely missing my point—and making this a DJT/RDS silly back and forth, lol!
Which is how I figured most folks who were duped and have buyer’s remorse about the jabs would respond, lol!
We’ve already been over that already. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, you can’t go to a bone doctor for brain surgery. Likewise, your favorite radiologist isn’t the guy to go to for advice on pandemics.
Eventually you’ll figure out how the world actually works.
So surround yourself with the best and brightest (NOT Fauci, Birx, Pottinger, etc. etc. etc.)!!!
I give DJT all the credit in the world for how he led the country (despite being hounded daily) throughout his term.
But, I won’t IGNORE how he has not used his rallies to denounce OWS/GLOBALSITS/CCP/BAD JABS!
Fauci is the highest ranking infectious disease authority in the US – he was always going to be involved no matter who was president.
If you’ve been jabbed (I pray you and your family have not), you better FIGURE things out regarding your short/long term health.
I know how the world works—that’s why I have zero debt, I OWN my home and car, and I have listened to Sundance and the WISE folks on CTH and PREPARED ACCORDINGLY (with regards to food, water, garden, cash, establishing relationships with local farmers, etc.).
Let’s hope you’ve done the same!
Michael, if you don’t think the past three years of hysteria, propaganda, lockdowns, jab mandates, school closures, destruction of countless small businesses, HYPERINFLATION, etc. etc. etc. has not put a severe dent in your purchasing power (which is a stain on national economic policy and security), then you aren’t living in reality.
Hopefully like me, you OWN your home, car, etc. and have prepared accordingly.
The point where you diverted from reality is in thinking that the swamp is the cure for the swamp. It isn’t.
The CURE is for DJT to keep pounding the message in his rallies that GLOBALISTS/CCP/WHO/VANGUARD/BLACKROCK were the root causes of the hysteria the past three years and the jabs are a colossal failure.
Can’t you see the connection between those entities and the economic mess we’re in!!!
If you start giving people medical advice, even if it’s right, you can still go to jail for practicing medicine without a license.
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the same law applies to presidents too. Jus’ saying…..
That’s why you surround yourself with Dr’s:
McCollough
Malone
Kory
Marik
Cole
Bhattychara
Kuldorff
You need to read this—-are there enough DOCTORS there for you, lol!
https://gbdeclaration.org/
And you don’t surround yourself with PIECES OF TURD:
Like Fauci (anyone with a pulse knew he was a corrupt BIG PHARMA SHILL since the AIDS crisis of the 80’s),
Birx
https://brownstone.org/articles/how-did-deborah-birx-get-the-job/
“Deborah Birx, an immunologist and Army Colonel who worked for the Department of Defense and US Military on AIDS research, served as Directory of the CDC’s Division of Global HIV/AIDS and as the US Global AIDS Coordinator [ref], was appointed White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator on February 27th, 2020.
She had no training or experience in epidemiology, novel pathogen pandemic response, (unless you consider combatting well-established and known diseases like AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in developing countries such response), or airborne respiratory viruses like the coronavirus.
She was offered the position by Matt Pottinger, Deputy National Security Advisor for China, who told Birx if she did not take the job American lives could be lost. According to Yen Pottinger (Matt’s wife) Matt thought Birx was a better leader than the heads of NIAID, the CDC and other senior public health officials. The basis for Matt’s very high opinion of Birx’s leadership capabilities and the importance of her appointment to saving American lives is unknown.
Pottinger
https://brownstone.org/articles/the-talented-mr-pottinger-the-us-intelligence-agent-who-pushed-lockdowns/
And, umm, Fauci is the US’s leading expert on pandemics. Did you know that nobody else in the US can claim that title?
So of course, in your world, it makes perfect sense to not include “THE” expert on pandemics on a subject regarding pandemics, but you’d rather put a radiologist in charge of pandemics instead.
Makes total sense….
If you think FAUCI the FRAUD (and biggest LIAR in the history of mankind) is the United State’s leading expert on pandemics, then you are VERY MISINFORMED!!!
I suggest you do some research. Apparently 2 or more doses of mRNA gene therapy JABS have warped your ability to do objective analysis!!!
And when is the last time Tony Fauci actually TREATED a patient????
He is and always was an unelected HEALTH BUREAUCRAT beholden to BIG PHARMA!
Wow—you seriously need to wake up!!!
Even Sundance is laughing hysterically at your above post!!!
Never , I think he went straight out of residency to being a bureaucrat
We’ve been over and over and over this part.
You don’t go to a bone doctor for brain surgery. Not even you would go to a bone doctor for brain surgery, but somehow or another, you think it’s totally fine for a radiologist to advise the world on pandemics…..lol.
Read the Great Barrington Declaration and the credentials of the doctors (who actually TREAT patients) who signed it.
You’re a FAUCI fanboy—DISGUSTING!!!
Michael B., BS has been on the Treehouse for days posting, posting, and posting about PDJT and his “failure” in his response to covid and the vaccines. He ignores that Mike “30 pieces of silver” Pence was in charge of the Covid Response Team. He ignores how the MSM, Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big Fauci controlled the narrative and no matter which way Trump moved, they attacked him. BS ignores how Trump never advocated for forced vaccines, Trump’s Lockdown was supposed to be for 15 days (then Big Anti-Trump hijacked that), Trump mentioned “Ivermectin” as a therapeutic and got slammed (horse medicine!).
BS ignores the fact that the CDC, NIH, FDA (plus many more bureaucracies) took over because they are the “experts” in medicine. How could PDJT argue against them when they screamed “You are not a doctor, immunologist, virologist, biologist, scientist!!!”
BS want us to blame PDJT for the failures, outright lies, the silencing of dissenting voices, the prosecution of dissenting voices, the corruption, the murders, and ruination of many lives instead of Mike “30 Pieces of Silver” Pence and the Team that Pence assembled.
DeSantis promoted the clot shot and says he was stupid enough or politically motivated enough to take it.
DeSantis said Kemp was reckless when he opened up Georgia.
DeSantis pretends he protected Floridians from mandates when many large employers in the state mandated the jabs.
DeSantis never fined any business asking for proof of jab for customers.
Some states never locked down – Florida most certainly did. Many states were just as open as FL including some blue/purple states. The promotion of FL being so great is just that PR.
He doesn’t need to explain. First, he has been very clear that none of that crap would have been mandated. As a matter of fact, even here in Texas, it was the action/inaction of the governors and mayors who executed on the mandates. Second, no one is going to be perfect but does the good out weight the bad? In the case of President Trump, his “Economic security is national security” mindset alone makes up for the blind spots that we all have.
MAGA, baby! It’s beautiful…
Of course he needs to explain, lol!
READ this—and focus on the last two paragraphs:

Steve Harvey does a great job expressing MAGA UNIPARTY. The movement that cares not about party lines because corruption doesn’t Either!!!!
This article articulates what may be proven to be a key difference between DJT and Gov DeSantis.
We need to see how DeSantis reacts to this demarcation. We know he has received donations from some wealthy interests.
I want to see how he lays out a national economic agenda, if he decides to run in ’24. All my money is on PDJT, if he indeed runs.
He’s already shown his true colors with his ridiculous response to Biden’s open borders he complains about all the time. All bark and no bite. All hat and no cattle…..
He also has dominion voting in the state of Florida. And he has Crist announcing, just like biden did, that he doesn’t need republican votes. Does this mean that DeSantis doesn’t care if he loses Florida? As far as I know, and please correct me if I’m mistaken, DeSantis’ big find was 20 people who committed election fraud in his state. I suspect there are thousands and thousands more who cheated, yet DeSantis never looked. I wonder why.
All tiny hat and not cattle…
Really because he sent illegals out of the state of FL on buses but keep drinking the kool aid.
Really? Perhaps you have some evidence for that? I know he “talked” about it, but talk is cheap.
did he?….he threatened to do that but I have not seen where he sent ANY out of the state
snake skin hat.
missed one of the important right turns in your life Ron
as a congressman he voted for TPP…..got almost $300K from Club for Growth. Definitely NOT MAGA…… good on cultural issues (so far)
He kept FL, which is heavily dependent on tourism for the economy to boom there, afloat during Covid. He took on Disney and other corps.. He made good changes to the education system. He went after corrupt elections officials in Miami, he regularly takes on Fauci and Biden, he promotes FL businesses including the ports.
He might have not accomplished what MAGA needs him to but he has been good for FL and he kept it in the MAGA column for 2020. That was big. Has he sold out? I’m sure we will find out very soon. Some things he has NOT done that seems like he should have are definitely standing out. No question. But bad mouthing him and not recognizing he has done some very good things is not MAGA attitude.
I seriously hope he does not run in 2024. This would leave FL without a strong leader and very well could flip it back to blue. Crist is pounding on all these rumors and criticisms of DeSantis as any politician would,
. If DeSantis loses FL, the road for MAGA gets exponentially harder. Maybe leave the process go and see how this plays out for 2024. He must win this Nov. for MAGA to have a chance in 2024, imo.
He must win this Nov. for MAGA to have a chance in 2024, imo.
I’ve suspected as much myself, and wonder if those playing RdS consider losing Florida ’22 an acceptable if not desirable outcome, and whether RdS recognizes this hazard, or worse, has knowingly chosen to accept it.
Sundance just wrote a good and concise posting on why Trump is the best man for the job. I totally agree with him, but the fight is already on. The power center, the 4th Branch, is totally aligned with the Obama Democrats and can change the entire electoral climate long before we can address who to run for President 2024. We have to elect as many MAGA supporters as we can this year. The battle is on, and unless we fight it to win right now in 2022, we may not even get a chance to win the war in 2024.
Keep your powder dry and never vote until you can show up in person on election day and do so. Any other method of voting will make it too easy for the enemy to steal another election. If you have the stamina to hang in there on election day and watch what the election officials do with the ballots and/or voting machines, do so. We don’t have enough lawyers to go to every voting site to watch them and keep them from controlling the actual count. Our leaders cannot be in enough places to do this for us. It is up to us. Then, if they steal the election, we will have ammo. Also, never forget that the Repugs can’t be trusted to help MAGA at the polls. We all have to at least show up. Find out who has our interests in mind before the election and try to support them. They will all need our support. Vote for Repugs if the choices are, because most of MAGA is on the ballot as Repugs. At least we have a chance to stay in the game if MAGA is a big part of the majority. If the Democrats win, by hook or crook, our Constitutional Republic is toast.
DeSantis can prove himself by doing what politicians do… lie. But instead of lying to his constituents, lie to his donors (after election).
I was the only actual MAGA Republican voter who managed to get on CSpan’s call-in show yesterday to answer the question, ‘What does MAGA mean to me?” The prior callers were saying things like “MAGA people are hateful and want violence, don’t believe in the constitution or rule of law and Trump tells them what to think.” During the allotted 60 seconds, after saying I believe in the Constitution and rule of law and that Donald Trump does not tell us what to think. We’ve been thinking MAGA for decades and we are grateful President Trump has stepped up to be our Voice. He came into office saying he would fix the problems. And he did. He brought back jobs. He secured the border. He is in favor of — as we all are — LEGAL immigration. My parents came to this country legally. I added that I have several friends who share my values and they are all MAGA voters but many of them don’t know it because the media and Biden are telling them MAGA is the opposite of what it really is.
Well done!!
Outstanding, Oxford.
Standing ovation!!!! Did the moderator pass out on set?
My vision of Legal Immigration is: merit based and self sufficient, perhaps with yearly numerical limits.
This is the new definition of Legal Immigration.
The immigration you speak of is the corruption of the system which we are trying to eradicate.
BTW, GB has the very same problems we do here in the US.
Yours is a fair assessment, but taken out of the context in which I spoke on CSpan. The media loves to lump all immigrants into one category and say that MAGA is against all immigrants because we are hateful racist xenophopes. My aim was to set THAT lie straight, which I did. Also, as I said my parents came here legally so yes, I do have a personal stake in the issue that you perhaps do not have.
Back during the MAFA days in the 90’s, me & my brother & family used to watch C-Span when they were doing political issues and used to really enjoy the excellent well informed callers. My brother called in a few times to support Pat Buchanan and his warnings about those treasonous destructive Free Trade deals & the dangers of mass immigration. Kudo’s to you and I wish I would have heard you. Would have reminded me of the good ole days when my Father was around listening with us.
Thank you for speaking up.
No truer words. Also, what Steve Harvey wrote is why President Trump will be back. He’s Daddy T! I believe President Trump has achieved the support of 50% of Black Americans. Just wait for the election stats to come out in 2024. Not only has he swept the Hispanics but also the Blacks. Who has he not swept? The white liberal over educated turds who want the gubmint/me to pay for them. Oh and Wall Street and the uber wealthy. I’m not talking about the wealthy in the multi millionaire category who scratched their way to success.
I believe when Trump comes back he will be ruthless with the Administrative State. I know that McConnell will do everything he can to destroy Trump. That’s all McConnell’s got. I believe Trump will win. I hope Trump will win. We the people can’t survive another 2 years of traitors like McConnell twisting the knife in our backs. I put Kevin McCarthy in that same sphere but he’s weak and will be pushed to follow Trumps lead. I believe it is our best interest to eliminate McCarthy also but I don’t see him in the same destructive light as McConnell.
Elise Stefanik doesn’t want McCarthy to be Speaker if the Republicans take back the house. He’s counting on it, I hope they elect her instead. She isn’t a RINO like McCarthy.
I’d like Kari Lake or MTG – both would be far better than Elise
Yes We need a no prisoners attitude.
I’ll take Joe Bagadonuts before Kevin McCarthy-Luntz.
???? I was not aware that the House normally selected a GOVERNOR as SotH…now they can choose ANYONE…. but those are both pretty encompassing jobs
McCarthy cannot lead as Speaker and must be stopped. The guy cannot even manage a coherent sentence.
When he lost to Ryan, the guy vowed to not be derailed again. My congressman has consistently voted against McCarthy as Speaker, he needs about 100 more to join him.
I read a comment that she was a WEF grad. Is that true?
Yes!
Another decepticon
YGL class of 2015. No one with any past or present affiliation with the WEF can be trusted in any position of influence. Not in government, business, finance, education, religion, media, entertainment, or any other ‘institution’ of modern society.
At best they all have divided loyalties. At worst they are ‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’ working to advance the ideology and long term agenda of advancing the Trans-Human Global Utopian Marxist State.
she is just as much establishment as the Turtle is
She may not be a RINO but I saw her name on a list of the young WEF graduates. Maybe she’s changed – don’t know.
If we can get more MAGA reps in Congress, and some in the Senate, the Dinosaurs can be dealt with, once PDJT is back in.
As of right now , you’re wrong about the black voters . I work at a global shipping company . Many blacks buy the narrative and hate trump . The American public is mostly stupid ,people hate to engage in political talk .
2 yeArs from now may be a different story though .
Any thoughts of getting more than 10-12% of the black vote is an exercise in futility.
Unfortunately, the Harvey quote isn’t real. Fake News.
It still resonates
This is such a great observation.
People don’t see the forest for the trees, but it’s right there in front of us.
BOOM!
Thank you Sundance and Steve Harvey!
I didn’t know much about DJT. Hated his TV show. Thought the hairdo was silly. Didn’t the man own a mirror?
However I identified with DJT and cheered the attitude from the escalator ride on. Now I understand why.
In my own tiny little world I’m that guy. I cuss, I’ve been know to flash some plumber’s butt while under your sink, and I really don’t what rich people think. I can be rude, crude, and lewd. A lot of people don’t care for me. I dated a lot of hot women and I’ve married two hot blond women and I’ve been bankrupt over property issues.
People call me when they want something actually accomplished and they will put up with my occasional hand print on the wall and my high fees.
I told my current wife he was going to win the day of the escalator ride! Why says she? Because here was a MAN who get’s things done!
In my 70 years I’d never met anyone quite like him 😉
Clearly a lot of people agree with me!
It’s the message, or communication that is important. If it takes a few swear words to emphasize issues, so be it! Lord knows how hard-headed some people are until you get their attention.
When it comes to the olde political class really getting in our faces and putting us into lower salaries, fewer goods and higher prices then, NOW is when average Joe 6-pack begins to feel the pain. It’s now WAY past that time, for us to take back our country!
VOTE on Election Day only, request a paper ballot and let’s swamp them! I say that because I’ve been a fan of early voting, hate to stand in line. This time, I will crawl over broken glass to vote!
I want to second your “vote on election day” comment. This was a successful Kerri Lake strategy. One of the democrat’s cheats is to get the counts from the voting machines in real time so they can determine exactly how many ballots they need to create. The earlier you vote the more time they have to make their estimates. So let’s overwhelm them on Election Day!
If MAGA is a measure of how much I love my country, then I am Ultra MAGA. I have been attending, organizing protests since the early Tea Party days. We always obtained permits and worked with local LEO. There was ZERO violence at any of these protests, despite attempts to provoke us coming from Psycho Democrat cult members.
Donald J Trump was my 17th choice in the 2016 GOP primary. Our primary was in June, so the only alternative to Trump was Cruz. I walked into the booth determined to vote for Cruz, but William Buckley’s voice whispered in my, “Vote for the most conservative candidate who can win.”
My hand did not hesitate and I colored in the bubble next Donald J. Trump. I have never regretted my choice. He did some things I did not like, but so do all of the people I love. He got far more right than wrong. Trump is the only man who is a proven champion of our Constitution and our Individual sovereignty.
As noted above, the man is not perfect; nobody is. The unusual thing about Trump is how he doesn’t allow people in positions of power bully him or blackmail him. These corrupt politicians, institutions and officials continue to try to destroy Trump and his family on every level.
Trump is the most steel spined, rock ribbed, American loving man ever to serve as President. If he asks for my vote, he’s getting in Donald Trump is the man for this time, much like Churchill was the man the UK needed in WWII.
why in the world would you ever be FOR someone who cannot legally serve under the US Constitution…..CANADIAN Cruz does not meet the NBC or citizenship requirements in Article II
As a republican he is ineligible.
Were he a democrat he would be eligible.
See how that works?
My point was Cruz was my 16th choice in the 2016 primary. Rand Paul as my first choice. As various candidates suspended their campaigns, the field narrowed to a choice between Cruz and Trump. I went with Trump.
Can you imagine how ruthless, conniving and murderous one has to be to rise to the top of the Russian or Chinese hierarchy? Both Putin and Xi will stop at nothing to maintain their hold on power in their country and their position in the world.
And people were thinking of electing Jeb Bush to face these guys???
President Donald Trump is the only hope the US has in its fight with the evil that is confronting the country today. We don’t need someone that is “nice”.
Very , Very good -phrase that stuck was “code of omertà”- so true – we see the strings, some so very obvious others not so apparent at first – but the strings are there and we can now see them thanks to President Trump, and thanks ONLY to him , and we can’t unsee them – On the other hand , “they “ smugly don’t really care if “we” now see the strings , so what “they” say at their conferences and parties as it doesn’t really matter , the “we” can’t do anything about it anyway so please refill our champagne glasses and more canapés please …..BTW kudos to Steve Harvey
I guess one could point out that Europe and US are in the same situation…..
Europe of course further down the road than we are to the cliff, but they too have abrogated national economic security to the globullists.
I am and have been a Donald Trump and MAGA cheerleader since the day he announced his Presidency.
Throughout that time I have asked many people to stop playing into media controlled hands who, before they can say anything nice about President Trump, must first make sure to add snarky mean comments about the man to appease rabid dogs wanting to devour us all.
Steve Harvey took bold steps for someone living and working in Hollywood, he publicly supported President Trump, often a nail in the coffin of a career. But Steve also played into media controlled hands by making sure to add plenty of snarky mean comments about a man he most likely has never met before.
A bit of a jerk?
An egomaniac?
Crude?
Insults people?
Blah, blah, blah.
And don’t forget to add he has “bad hair,” which from someone who is bald is kinda funny.
How about saying good things without throwing snarky mean things in the mix?
The MAGA king. Yes, President Trump is all of that.
Not being a television fanatic I didn’t know much about Trump. But I soon learned: Unlike most politicians, he is authentic. He is believable. His politics are believable. Despite the recent election. he is a winner.
He won the last election!
I totally agree with you, I am sick of those comments.
It’s always a first name, last name poster.
Its from Reuters but thought it was worth a read. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-steve-harvey-false-quote/fact-check-misattributed-steve-harvey-quote-about-supporting-trump-idUSKBN26L3KU
It is only worth reading if you are interested in reading lies and propaganda. Rueters is 100% globalist owned propaganda.
Could be true, even though Reuters, has a track record of pretending not to know things, reporting many outright lies, and being your basic globalists shill. But hey, they are probably batting about 0.110 on the truth.
No matter who wrote this piece attributed to Harvey, it’s a good explanation of why President Trump will win 3 elections.
Deal with it Biden voters.
Reuters. Lol.
You’ve an interesting, upbeat handle, BTW.
Reuters is to journalism what Rutgers is to college football over the last five years.
I believe that by November there will be a surge of MAGA voters and by the end of winter there will be a seismic awakening. Pain is a great teacher and the pain is growing more and more everyday.
MAGANomics
Trade policies
Candidate-Trump talked the talk.
President Prump walked the walk.
He is the only one that can and will.
He’s the one and only one.
Excellent point Charles. Running the federal government is a lot harder than holding a rally. It is time for the 76 yr old Trump to play kingmaker.
And who can Trump crown? Go back and reread Sundance above with that question in mind.
Wow, it’s a tag team of trolls. You’re all batting way below the CTH team here. Give it up.
You are exactly correct, Barb. “…tag team of trolls.” My thoughts, exactly while reading “their” posts. The Trolls are obvious today.
No it is not. A lot of new names here trying to remove Trump’s support though.
I’m an Asian female independent who voted for President Trump twice.
Only if one turns up rabid will politicians even consider getting rid of their own.
I remember a news story many years ago about increasing mice and rat infestations in the VA suburbs of Washington. It seems DC’s local government passed an ordinance that required humane, live trapping of mice and rats. So, exterminators had to take them outside DC to release them. They thrived in the suburbs.
Once allowed to start breeding inside, racoons will destroy your house, eat your food, defecate everywhere, and attack viciously when you try to get rid of them. Animal Control will not come out unless one is rabid. A third party will oblige but you’ll go broke while they charge a couple of hundred bucks, trap one at a time, and release ’em a few blocks away. You can trap them, but that delays the inevitable because they’ll tear you to pieces trying to let them loose. There really is only one way to be rid of them.
It is literally us or them. Only one way out of this now.
Sundance nailed it.
Heard from a friend who is a Federal and State Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator that ammonia-soaked rags will alleviate raccoons from taking up residency in your attic / crawl spaces. What do we have that will vacate the raccoons from our White House?
We suffer from a surfeit of raccoons and have for several years now. We’ve been using cage type traps and then drowning by submerging in either a garbage can or a (I guess it’s a) storage box.
We’ve been using a window AC powered by generators all Summer, so now we can asphyxiate them. Coons are nasty. I cringed every time we had to dump that water out.
We feed our skunks, possums, squirrels, and birds so coons are really a nuisance. They’re bullies and often show up in gangs of 3, 4, 5. I’ve given up on suet feeders.
For a different view of the effectiveness of Ron DeSantis (who seems to prefer getting things done rather than holding rallies to talk about getting things done), I recommend the following article:
https://amgreatness.com/2022/03/26/ron-desantis-deployed-states-rights-and-his-popularity-soared/
FRDS and corrupt UniParty PARASITES who live off the backs of We the People.
Time for DeSantis to get a real job.
DeSantis likes to get ‘er done, eh?
What did he get done on that open borders issue he complains about so much?
[crickets]
Why do you look for the negative and ignore all the positives? I just don’t get the attitudes against DeSantis. He has done a lot in FL for the state and people. Why focus on one or two issues he hasn’t done the way you want him to?
He also has every right, as does anyone else, to build his political future ambitions and funding for his campaign funds. You don’t start the day before a big election to get ready to run. Political election garbage calls for funding, early and future funding. It stinks but that’s the way it is. I agree he has some shady GOPe donors if they are true donors and not rumors. He also needs to be honest to the FL voters over his intentions.
I’ll say it again, we need FL in the MAGA column, now and especially in 2024. It’s as simple as that. Trashing the guy who is the governor there, doing a good job, is not helping, only giving Crist more political fodder. You don’t like DeSantis, fine. Don’t vote for him if you live there. But MAGA needs him in place in FL to get the country back.
Why do you think it’s so wrong to hold his feet to the fire?
only problem is RDS is proving he is not MAGA…at best he is owned by GOPe
Now tell us about his vote for TPP.
He gets it done all right.
Look at Trumps record on low unemployment ,highest employment for blacks and women ,low energy prices ,border control , china tariffs . middle east peace accords , energy independence , low inflation and re arming the military and tell us again wh gets things done .
He’s been a good Governor of Florida like Scott Walker was a good Governor of Wisconsin. He should remain in Florida.
But there are many national policy questions that frankly we don’t know where DeSantis stands on.?
And then there is the money that is backing him which appears the biggest problem right now for the MAGA crowd.
Many, many kudos to you Sundance as you offered so much over the years.
As a mechanical engineer working for an American OEM I can offer an opinion based on experience… This recession doesn’t really feel like a recession in our woods. Because China is locking down and California is locking down OUR ports with communist stupidity we are re-tooling supplied parts locally; sometimes at a part cost savings. Most importantly, we can deliver to customers.
Why? It is because of the deregulation and, more importantly, the corporate tax cut to 21%(from the highest in the world at 39%). Thanks to Donald Trump and the people he hired: Bob Lighthizer and Wilbur Ross and the many who worked with them to make it happen.
To those who bitch about “He didn’t hire the right people!”… Well, he did in important areas.
Attorney General, Secretary of State and Secretary of Treasury are the 3 most important cabinet appointments. How did Trump do?
The question is, how did you do?
The AG, SOS, and ST have to get approved by the Senate, you know, the swamp creatures YOU put in office. Why is it that you blame others for your mistakes?
You seem to labor under the misapprehension that the POTUS confirms cabinet appointments.
No, I labor under the misapprehension that an effective and competent leader will appoint the right people to implement the MAGA agenda and then persuade the Senators to confirm his appointments. Trump failed on all counts.
Trump failed to do those things because he’s not a part of the swamp. DeSantis could sway the Senate, because he’s a salamander.
Many others and I thought Sessions would make a good AG. WE were wrong too.
That repeal of NAFTA and becoming a net energy exporter must have been real bummers for you.
You act like Trump didn’t have enemies in the Republican Party.
You obviously haven’t been paying attention because your lack of understanding of what Trump was facing with McConnell and the Establishment undermines all of your other comments.
Read my response just posted north of yours. Foolish to think one man could fix what thousands of men have destroyed. Where is OUR WORK in this? Or maybe we are all too busy lazing the days away on the couch?
Trump didn’t choose a corrupt Ukrainian to work on his campaign.
Uh, this is awkward. Paul Manafort, who was Trump’s campaign chief from May to August 2016, spent nearly a decade as a consultant to Ukraine’s Party of Regions and its standardbearer, Viktor Yanukovych.
Sounds like you were pretty miffed after Jeb dropped out in 2016.
How many billion did Trump send to Ukraine ?
Christina Pushaw unleashes her Macy’s perfume counter rage and persona dashed with a mysterious past of Ukrainian corruption.
She’s not hot like Liz Harrington.
Are you familiar with the confirmation process on cabinet officials?
Swamp draining
requires knowing where the scum and evil creatures are; they slither and slime.
Self-exposure and light are required…
-Oh, how confidently they surfaced —and continue
to shine a light on themselves!
———————-
🇺🇸Thanks
to our VSG President Donald J Trump
He actually did hire the right people. Unfortunately, most of them were thrown in jail. And then nobody else in America had the guts to stand up to be counted after that, because they knew it would mean the end of their world.
I still can’t quite figure out how everybody watched the “public raping” of Manafort, Flynn, Gaetz, etc., and still can’t understand why Trump had a hard time finding willing patriots to fill various positions.
Amen. Navarro is an economic warrior as well.
Two of my favorites in the Trump cabinet and team!
In response to “He didn’t hire the right people!”… effective leadership grants autonomy to the lowest level. When folks are hired / appointed to positions, they are expected to do their jobs honestly, efficiently, and effectively. Trump is one man. One man does not have all the answers. Wise leaders know this and therefore must trust their subordinates.
The government is cancerous and subordinates too easily manipulated as the organized crime families who have infected it have shown there is no legal recourse to their debauchery. Therefore, the inmates run amok in the asylum.
I believe Trump had to trust his advisors and sadly those advisors were corrupt – or ill informed. Did we, the American people, have an all-knowing handle on who were good and evil? Did WE have all the answers to fix this mess? Nope. We were all shocked at the conditions of our schools and their evil curriculum until God used Covid to shine light on the malignancy. (Romans 8:28 “all things”)
I don’t blame Trump – not even for the COVID response. He did absolutely the best he could with his resources at hand and he did a remarkable job fulfilling his campaign promises in protest of those who tried to block him. And there were many. He should be lauded and considered a national treasure.
I really hope someone is keeping a list of the corruption. I know God is.
As much as Sundance has written about the 4th Branch of Government, the one opportunity we had to dismantle it in 2017 was undone because our irreplaceable great MAGA King allowed Jim Comey (https://thefederalist.com/2020/04/30/comey-bragged-about-violating-fbi-policy-to-ambush-flynn-in-corrupt-setup/) and Mike Pence to frame General Michael Flynn. Can we vote for competence in 2024 please?
So do you think if Pence had been exposed as a traitor early on, it would have changed anything? Pence’s alliances, past discretions and loyalty to the Uniparty were all well known in 2016. “We” chose to ignore his past.. Trump did what he had to, to survive and to win.
Yet “we” still keep falling for the narratives. e.g. You seem to imply that Flynn, a highly experienced military and intelligence officer sat down with Comey’s henchmen not knowing their surveillance and entrapment methods? The bottom line is that as Trump said, the swamp was far deeper than he ever thought. Trump could fire Flynn. He was stuck with Pence.
Now, Trump has learned much and is regrouping stronger than before. “We” need to as well – not turn on him. Time is far far overdue that “we” learn from our mistakes and realize that the GOPe is an existential threat to freedom and the Republic.
Flynn should have known better. Trump should have demanded to see the 302 and backed Flynn up. Why he collapsed so quickly tells me a lot about his true toughness. Again, governing and leading requires a lot more than holding rallies.
Perhaps he did know better -that is my point.
His reasoning was that he didn’t want to get bogged down in a mud pit right out of the gate.
You’re so much smarter than everybody else. Would you have gotten your admin bogged down in scandal instead of pursuing the America First agenda? Which is more important to you?
Spoken from Central IN with some personal experience with Pence – Pence was a huge DECEPTICON. HUGE. I had the occasion to speak with him directly and thought the guy was honest and a good human being. I have a picture of us standing together (which doesn’t make me GUILTY by the way… it means that at one point… he seemed sincere and authentic!) Had no less than three interactions with the man at different events where we stood and talked with one another. Even attended the same church. HE CHANGED. He became compromised and I don’t know why, but I can guess — that is how politicians survive. By navigating the trenches, negotiating, and compromising, and selling out. Much like the Nicolaitans in Revelation.
Paid gopE troll
20 years U.S. Navy.
Worked on Reagan ‘80 campaign in High School.
Former Republican Precinct Chairman.
Voted for Trump in 16 and 20.
So, if that makes me a GOPe troll, so be it. I suspect what troubles you is that I am not a Trump cultist. Why don’t you try to grapple with the arguments instead of denouncing with an insult.
You sound like a good GOP foot soldier. TV dial super-glued to FNC.
Bet all those rubber chicken lunches tasted good over the years.
Haven’t watched Fox News since 2016 other than the occasional Tucker Carlson monologue. It is amazing the paranoid assumptions people make on this website.
That answer speaks volumes.
Thanks.
Then WHY are you HERE on this website? We are united here. So sorry that Trump maligned old Ronnie boy from the top spot as conservative favorite. Fact is… we are at WAR… and if you haven’t noticed that, then you are likely elitist and these “little things” don’t bother you. U.S. Navy, my ass. A true soldier PROTECTS his country and PROTECTS THOSE who protect our country. Trump gave all… wealth, privilege, his comfortable life – to serve us — even you. Show some respect.
Well then, there is much to learn here about the true nature of the GOPe. Right now, you’re peeing into the branches.
I know more about the GOPe than I care to, and do not need to read here to learn anything more. I question the zero sum, one dimensional thinking that occurs here, starting with Sundance. It never occurs to anyone that another strategy would be to align with the GOPe and coopt them, rather than the other way around. For that to happen, we need a focused and competent leader.
That statement reflects a profound and naive misunderstanding of how the GOP establishment infrastructure operates in most states and at RNC level. And especially in how it manages and handles its base.
Your first mistake is thinking there are meaningful high-level differences between the two major parties, particularly following the Reagan era.
Who did you vote for in 92?
If you see Sundance’s meticulous research and conclusions as one dimensional the problem might just be your spectacles. Set them aside or you are surely wasting your time here.
His research is important, but his application of that research is shallow and very, very one dimensional, as today’s love letter demonstrates.
Peter tosses rocks but like a petulant child has no solutions. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, Peter.
“and do not need to read here to learn anything more”
Karl, you are not tall enough for this ride.
he GOP was here for all of the 31 trillion in debt , they are not the answer .
I’m in moderation Peter. I think for making this same argument.
I hope you survive.
So why are you here? You could move on..
What troubles us is, so much of what you say is wrong, and you run from facts and just keep returning to your propaganda, much like a dog returns to its vomit.
Having been within the Wright Patterson AFB within the last two weeks, I will observe that the stink within our military is unavoidable from the mandatory masking, to the dumpy buildings, to the run down pawn shops, check cashing places and gun stores near the base, and the low morale.
The MIC as championed by McCain, Bush, Romney, and Reagan (yes, Reagan) is a collosal failure.
If you think the MIC (military industrial complex) is worth maintaining in its current form, please message me so I can get you a complimentary subscription to Bill Kristol’s latest journalistic pamphlet, The Bulwark.
All the acceptable, cool Republicans from Michael Steele, to Liddle Mikey DeRINO, to Joey Scarborough, to Megan McCain and Tom Ridge all love The Bulwark.
There have always been pawn shops, check cashing places and gun stores near any military base. That is nothing new.
I don’t care for lumping Reagan into that grouping. He had one mission and that was to destroy the Evil Empire. And he accomplished it.
Our next mission, just as important, is to destroy the Woke Marxist empire.
All he ended up accomplishing was trading one Evil Empire for a worse one. I would prefer to have my enemy contained in a country across the world than the one controlling my govt. now.
How about you?
The condition of Fairborn, Ohio, on its main through fair State Route 444, should not be acceptable to anyone.
The fact that you wrote it off as “that’s the way it’s always been” indicates an acceptance of globalist economics that puts America last.
Ok fine. Who is your guy?
You vote your way i vote mine . I suppose i now pay for your healthcare as well as mine right ?
Not yet!
It’s your comments Peter. Go back and read them.
Sorry , late to the game – “Trump cultist” ok , hadn’t heard that much …I didn’t know I was in a “cult” by supporting and believing in President Trump… thanks for letting me know and please send out that Cult Deprogramming Hotline number, I guess many here are in dire need of it … .. (sarcasm, you think ?)
So WHO IS YOUR alternative, Peter? Who do you elevate to lead our country? Don’t just toss rocks… where are your SOLUTIONS?
I think he wants MAGA to join in with the GOPe. Maybe he’s going to run Romney’s campaign in 2024
So this is why you choose the name, but your here for a different reason,
“Peter Martyr Vermigli[b] (8 September 1499 – 12 November 1562) was an Italian-born Calvinist theologian. His early work as a reformer in Catholic Italy and his decision to flee for Protestant northern Europe influenced many other Italians to convert and flee as well. In England, he influenced the Edwardian Reformation, including the Eucharistic service of the 1552 Book of Common Prayer. He was considered an authority on the Eucharist among the Calvinist churches, and engaged in controversies on the subject by writing treatises. Vermigli’s Loci Communes, a compilation of excerpts from his biblical commentaries organised by the topics of systematic theology, became a standard Calvinist theological textbook.”
Exactly. A confessional Reformed Christian.
“. . . allowed Jim Comey and Mike Pence to frame General Michael Flynn.” – overlooking a few things here perhaps? Timing, the first weeks of the new Administration where people hadn’t even been confirmed into their new posts is where Mr. Comey saw an opportunity and in his own words bragged how he purposefully sandbagged both a sitting President and his selected national security advisor, as your link highlights.
And Comey was fired once President Trump had enough information to withstand the hit-storm that he knew would ensue;
as for Pence, PDJT was stuck with the one he brought to the dance – can’t fire an elected sitting VP, can only encourage them toward constructive ends and hope they rise to the occasion.
Remembering the entire whirlwind that was going on at that time and recognizing then PDJT’s acknowledgement of what he could and could not do within the framework of the Constitution sure gets overlooked a lot these days. Probably why kids fail in history classes, they learn the specifics of events but never the entire atmosphere of what brought those event specifics into manifestation.
If he had stuck by Flynn, he would have been able to control the NSC. His failure to do so doomed his administration.
That’s just fairy dust. In case you haven’t noticed, they have never stopped going after Trump. They’d have done the same thing to Flynn in an effort to fetter him.
Trump was under investigation himself so any action like you are stating would be obstruction. Stop being ignorant about this.
Here, here, Bessie!
Who would you suggest Peter? Biden, Kamala, Bush, Cheney, Desantis?
Why are you on this site Peter? How could Trump have stopped the head of the FBI from targeting Flynn? They would have immediately gone after Trump for obstruction. You conveniently forget Trump was under a counter-intelligence investigation himself.
The Director of the FBI works for the Attorney General who reports directly to the President.
Trump was under a counter-intelligence investigation by the FBI??? Good lord have you forgotten?
For those who seem to support DeSantis while criticizing President Trump, it is important to note that while in Congress DeSantis voted to give Fast Track Authority (FTA) on TPP.
That vote showed that DeSantis was okay with approving TPP even though it would have been ruinous for the sovereignty of the United States.
DeSantis needs to explain his vote to fast track the TPP if he wants to hold national office again, because his support of globalism is a critical issue to those who support America First policies.
Where does DeSantis stand on TPP today?
And don’t forget Pompeo, Mattis, and more.
“Independents” can lose their jobs, their sources of heat and food just like everyone else. “Independents” don’t get a special deal at the gas pumps. “Independents” are seeing their 401Ks plummet, just like everyone else.
Personal survival will trump Trump’s “personality.”
Full disclosure: I am an Independent.
Excellent and thank you, this was wonderful reading this morning.
Excellent article on MAGA national policy. By the way, the GOP’s largest donor is…………..the Chamber of Commerce. They embrace GOPe–but they sure don’t embrace you.
I thought MAGA was a gimmick. I believed in most of the polices Trump campaigned with….I was a Rand Paul guy and was skeptical of Showman Trump. The MAGA thing, I thought, was too good to be true, so naturally I was suspicious.
Everywhere in Florida, where I lived at the time, there were Trump signs, billboards, banners…..reminded me of 2012 and Romney signs, to be honest. (I think that election was rigged….but I’m glad Romney “lost”).
Come time to vote, I voted down ticket first….I knew voting for the Hildabeast was a non-starter, but I was still suspicious of Trump. I was very close to writing in Jefferson Davis, but instead I voted for Trump. After hearing he won….and seeing how he was attacked even worse than when he was running…..I was on board for sure. In 2020 I didn’t even hesitate to vote for him and I am convinced that election was completely corrupted from the get-go, starting with the whole scamdemic, warp speed (which I hope he runs away from), Russia, Ukraine, etc.
Sorry for the long post….I just wanted to echo Steve Harvey, he ain’t perfect, but we don’t elect perfect.
Deo Vindice!
note: the election was rigged – Romney threw it.
It’s sad to see this Steve Harvey fake propaganda on this excellent website. You know he never said that.
Like the infamous Cicero quotation about how a nation might survive fools etc.
Harvey has met with President Trump, but you cannot find any direct time or place for this little essay, which, I would think, he did not write.
Judge Joe Brown is a Trump supporter also.
The upcoming CBCD catastrophe –to be introduced (instituted) in 2023 — will take precedence over any previous issues.
Ahhh—-someone who GETS it (just flip your last two letters).
And for the folks who don’t know:
CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency).
Thanks; was just going to ask what those initials stood for!
Someone should let Hillary know that we are a Republic and not a democracy. She also needs to know that the MAGA faction consists of at least half of America!
So confusing – is the MAGA faction in the basket of Deplorables or not?
Pretty sure Pedo Peter and Hilldog includes all of us in the MAGA faction and or the Basket.
Democracy = code word for The Regime’s rule.
Ms Hillary still hadn’t learned – “We must name the threat our democracy faces” – until she named the threat to her style of democracy we were simply individuals who had a sense that something wonderful was afoot; and in her so naming what was a threat to her is when we knew we were MAGA and realized that we were not alone! Silly woman, still hasn’t learned.
You owe it to yourselves to watch this video and learn the truth. RESIST!

This is excellent – !!! Biden Puts the ‘Total’ in Totalitarianism – https://amgreatness.com/2022/09/03/biden-puts-the-total-in-totalitarianism/
Roger Kimball has written an in-depth, articulate, erudite analysis of Biden’s speech announcing the left’s intent to target MAGA Trump supporters with hate and violence leading up to the 2022 Midterm Elections – just like they did in 2018 Midterms.
In 2018 – John Nolte compiled a LIST OF 639 ACTS OF MEDIA-APPROVED VIOLENCE, HARASSMENT AND THREATS AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP, CABINET, STAFF AND SUPPORTERS
Except this time around – they won’t target ALL Republicans – they will leave the RINOs like McConnell alone – and only focus on MAGA Trump supporters.
How far down will they go this time – will BLM and Antifa be paid to burn middle class neighborhoods, as they threatened to do in 2018?
Will they assault people shopping for groceries and gas if they have MAGA hats, T Shirts or bumper stickers?
Kimball is an interesting guy – he “endorsed Donald Trump for President. In July 2017, Kimball wrote an article comparing Trump’s 2017 speech in Warsaw to the Funeral Oration of Pericles of Athens during the Peloponnesian War. He has been criticized for being “determined to minimize, dispute, divert, and debunk the contention that Donald Trump is a person of bad character.” Kimball responded that Trump, “despite his imperfections, is a man of good character” because he repeatedly demonstrated willingness “to storm the cockpit of our corrupt, sclerotic, and increasingly unaccountable governmental apparatus.” In 2020, Kimball attracted criticism for promoting the allegation that Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election was due to widespread electoral fraud.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Kimball
Just got 404 not found error for the site.
For decades the legislative branch has undermined the authority of the Executive branch to the point the Executive branch is subservient to the Legislative branch. By this I mean the Executive branch needs the consent of the Legislative branch to get anything done. So I believe the responsibility for many of these decisions rest in the Legislature and not in the Executive branch.
Better to be posted as anonymous then wrongly implied to the comedian.
This was debunked years ago. It’s not that Harvey!
Wondered about that attribution to Steve Harvey since he went out of his way to distances himself from Donald Trump as an individual and as a President.
I’m not implying that you’re wrong but please provide a link that supports what you say.
Thank you for this very important reminder in detail. This exposé needs to be repeated every few months.
MAGA
FJB
If any one has the connections.. please get this to POTUS. This is the answer to the brewing MAGA vs. Mainstream tiff the unitary is launching.. and our guy needs to use this exact approach to drive home the point!
We’ve had Elder Bush as President & younger Bush as President who are both oil men. Lyndon Johnson was into oil. We had 3 Presidents in the oil business or very close to it that couldn’t figure out how to make us OIL INDEPENTENT & NET EXPORTER. Seems like they must have been paid off by the “right” people to keep us dependent on Saudi oil and in a constant state of war. How about that?
And all were Texans who seemingly could not figure out how to control its southern border.
Agree 💯 %
J.R. Ewing was a Texan who would not have the same problem.
I was at the rally Saturday. It was loud, with lots of cheering.
There were several things that got loud approval.
By far the loudest was how wrong it is to have men on women’s sports teams and in girls bathrooms.
Those are cultural issues and middle of the road people are against them.
They are issues that cross party lines if you have a daughter and are not a lefty.
I’ve a far less polite term than “lefty” for a father who would stand by in the hallway as male perverts walk into their daughters’ locker rooms.
Indeed. This is one of the reasons why the dems do NOT want fathers on the scene and have done all they can to promote single parent homes. Remove the gate keeper
MAGA Republican.
I can not come to terms with republican. For too many election cycles the republicans have betrayed my vote. It reached the point where I stopped voting “for” republicans and began voting against democrats, unfortunately the only alternative to deny the democrats power was a republican, that was until President Trump came along.
In his wake, he’s bringing along candidates that are much better than the republican of old. It’s too bad they have to call themselves republican, for the RNC is an organization of and for a globalist agenda and the RNC’s agenda is contrary to the needs of a people that are vested in their country, for this is where we live, this is home.
President Trump said it all in his first speech as President.

Amen! Me too!
If you decide to answer a political call, any, just keep saying MAGA till they hang up.
You can spell it out as “they” might not understand it at first.
Make America Great Again!!
Steve Harvey didn’t say this about Trump.

“In an October 2018 radio show, Harvey told listeners that he was not a Trump supporter; he called Trump “one of the most immoral presidents” in another.”
I am Joe Biden. I am your all powerful dictator and the FBI is my weapon. The standing army should I need it.
Agreed, national economic policy is a defining aspect of the America First or MAGA movement. That said economic nationalism alone does not always ensure individual liberty.
For me personally the fight is not just economic nationalism, but also includes the Constitutional protections of indiidual liberty.
I viscerally feel we’re in the midst of a most basic struggle Individual liberty, protected by the Constitution vs the crushing control of a totalitarian regime.
Freedom or erasure of that freedom. For me, individual rights and freedoms are an esential aspect of the MAGA movement.
Liz Truss was just voted in PM of the UK. She won the vote because she can be controlled, just like Boris Johnson and Teresa May.
That is why they are working around the clock to make sure Trump isnt re-elected to office.
Indeed. Teresa May 2.0
