Prior to the 2012 election and the rise of the Sandra Fluke free birth control narrative, we used to call them social issues; however, the usefulness of cultural wars has morphed into the larger war of wokeism.
In the big picture, keeping the base GOPe voter distracted from the economic expansion of multinational globalism, the corporate ‘masters of the universe’ (ie. the Big Club), need to keep pushing anti-wokeism as a political strategy. The cultural issues are useful tools to keep control of an alignment of voters. It has always been thus, and even more important now that people are starting to realize the expansion of the rust belt.
The rust belt, the diminishment of the U.S. economic manufacturing base, was an outcome of corporate control over politics. Corporations and banks seek profit, those profits are inflated by a U.S. service driven economic model. Skilled jobs require higher wages.
If the skilled jobs can be outsourced to lower cost labor nations, the subsequent lowered labor costs drive bigger margins. Again, it has always been thus.
At the core of the U.S. political issue, you discover that both wings of the DC UniParty agree with this basic economic model. Republicans and Democrats now use the catchphrase ‘service driven economy‘ with bipartisan frequency. Many voters no longer have any reference to an economic system that is anything except a ‘service driven economy’, yet nothing about that system provides long-term value for U.S. voters or workers.
Within this very specific dynamic, you find the root of the support for Donald J. Trump. A larger, formerly considered silent majority who comprise the baseline middle class workforce, find common understanding with President Trump because he sees the flaws in the economic model.
Not coincidentally, it is only Donald Trump who has ever discussed these economic issues. Factually, no national politician in the modern era prior to Donald Trump ever dared broach the subject of economic globalism, and the negative consequences therein, because they would find themselves in the target field of the corporations who fund the political system. A general platform more akin to a code of omerta covered the entire subject of republican economic policy.
As the pandemic years have shown, economic security is deeply tied to national security. As an outcome, economic policy ultimately drives foreign policy. When combined, the economic and foreign policy outlooks form the structural alignment of the UniParty platform.
Following the downstream effect of multinational corporate influence, modern Democrats support expansionist and interventionist foreign policy. Meanwhile, modern Republicans, previously called “neocons” have always supported expansionist and interventionist foreign policy. Leadership of both parties now align in a singular foreign policy outlook; thus, we see support for the Ukraine spending and intervention by both Democrats and Republicans.
However, outside the DC bubble of multinational corporate influence, the support for the interventionist foreign policy doesn’t exist in the same scale and scope. Voters inside both the Democrat and Republican base do not support the intervention at the same level as the political leadership of both parties. There is a structural breakdown between the priorities of voters and the priorities of the elected officials. None of this is new discussion, we all accept this basic reality.
With political leadership of both parties supporting the same economic outlook, and both parties supporting the same foreign policy outlook, we find the source of opposition against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Economic policy and foreign policy form the uniting bond that drives both parties to oppose Trump’s America First ideological outlook.
As long as Donald J Trump singularly represents the only counterforce against this UniParty globalist construct, he will continue to be targeted by the system of financial controllers who fund the political system. For the sake of brevity this alignment of multinational corporate and financial economic interests is called “the big club.”
As part of the strategic political effort, the Republican wing of the Big Club needs to carve up the supporters of Donald Trump into smaller, easier to target, pieces. This is where the value of the culture war, what is now considered as ‘wokeism’, plays into the strategy of those who seek to control political outcomes and remove the threat that Trump represents to their financial interests.
In many ways, this is why we are seeing prominent Republican officeholders pushing the culture war as a tool for their own political advancement. The same Big Club members who are directly fighting against the America-First economic agenda, are the same Big Club members who are funding the Republican politicians to push the culture war.
The corporations, billionaires and multinationals who are funding the Republican candidates do not have any vested interest in the culture war. For them the social issues are a tool, technique or insurance policy to guarantee security of the interest that does matter, their financial status.
There are trillions at stake, literally trillions. Additionally, decades of their prior investment interests are contingent upon the ‘service driven economy’ being maintained.
Dollars drive the U.S. global trade and financial exchanges. The multinationals, both corporations and banks, have pre-deployed investments all around the globe. However, many of those investments are entirely contingent upon the retention of the U.S. economic system they pre-established before the investment was made. President Donald J. Trump represents the threat to that entire financial system.
Once you understand this, then a great deal of the more nuanced and granular U.S. political moves, almost all of which are funded by the corporations and billionaires who are attached to the global investment process, begin to make sense.
Every non-Trump candidate, funded to create the opposition to America First, is part of this process to use anti-wokeism as a strategy.
With this level of money at stake, do not be surprised when you look at how much is being spent to construct the system that guarantees the continuation of globalism. The money spent in funding the Republican candidates to advance the distracting cultural war pales in comparison to the amount of money at risk in the 2024 election outcome.
That’s the baseline for this:
…“GOP leaders and candidates should take from this poll one important lesson: voters expect them to fight wokeness,” American Principles Project President Terry Schilling said. “Support for policies protecting families from gender ideology is off the charts, with the majority of the base showing a strong preference for tackling these issues. Meanwhile, approval of Republican establishment priorities was much more muted, with most of those surveyed even agreeing that GOP elected officials have given up too much ground in the culture war.”
…“Any candidate who expects to win a Republican primary next year for any office needs to lead on cultural issues in order to win over voters,” Schilling said. “Perhaps the two most prominent leaders on these issues so far have been Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, so it should be no surprise they are far and away the favorites in the presidential field. It’s time for the rest of the party to pay heed and set their priorities accordingly.” (more)
On the very significant upside… Relax, President Trump understands this.
Candidate Donald Trump also understands the real priorities of the Big Club extend beyond this useful cultural war, deep into the world of economics and foreign policy.
As each of the corporate funded Republican candidates hits the cultural war (wokeism) effort as part of the distracting political strategy, watch President Trump generally agree with the ‘social issues’, but then counter the distraction with arguments specifically targeting economic and foreign policy.
The entire field of Republican candidates will hold the same economic and foreign policy outlook (Ukraine example), with only Donald Trump representing an alternative.
Trump has known for a long time, that putting all your hopes and dreams on China is a big mistake. That is what American business has been doing ( cheap labor ). Communism never works for long and when combined with one man rule (dictator) boom comes down the hammer. Trump was looking for collapse soon and was trying to gain some time to restructure the supply chains. He knew this!
Biden’s, being the criminal familial, just saw money theft and like a mob pay me my % and we can help you out. That is their view of China, they could careless if China collapses.
Remember if the world gov pigs have their way no nation will ever have power to rule the world or even to just guide it, only them!
That’s what I’ve been figuring. The “woke” agenda doesn’t get into world conflicts or crumbling infrastructure or industrial decline. Or crime, the failing family, and homelessness. Or the open border, unequal justice, or globalism.
But it does address the imposition of sexual perversion, gender ideology and subsequent chemical poisoning and genital and mammary mutilation, and critical race theory with its insistence on white guilt and responsibility for the dysfunction of “people of color.” The latter has a direct impact on the open border, homelessness, and crime.
Here’s one example of how wokeness directly impacts voters:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/report-black-students-violently-forced-white-peers-pledge-allegiance-blm-elementary-school-one-white-student-punched-head-video/
Much of this stuff can and should be handled at the state level.
Ruined economy == weakened ability for people to resist Woke.
Woke focus == symptom/disease focused
Trump == health/disease prevention focused
What you address is exactly why the GOP Politutes always ran away and/or caved every time the CCP-CoC Media Mob shrieked “racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.” GOP always slinked away from stupid issues they helped create to leave on the table for future political use. It’s all BS. Always was.
Woke focused == Symptom focused. Woke focus is a distraction division tactic.
Heil Hegel.
This is an excellent analysis from a political perspective. I guess a large concern I have is our American Culture is going down rapidly. The politicians can argue about Woke social issues, but an increasingly part of our culture is shifting Woke.
Most of our higher educational institutions are already mostly Woke now and it’s rapidly growing in K-12. The people that are in charge that are driving this are not politically elected except maybe school boards. By 2024 it’s going to be even worse than it is now and even some of our religious institutions are leaning Woke.
There seems to be little effort at the Grass Roots to sell traditional values of family, honesty, accountability, hard work, meritorious behavior, etc. Those values are not cool. The younger more Godless feel good group that is a all about ME society is growing in our culture.
So we need a Top Down and Bottoms Up strategy and momentum to really change where we are going.
I see Trump in the Tops Down part, but no bottoms up of any significance.
“and even some of our religious institutions are leaning Woke.”
Not only true, it’s an understatement.
They are being paid off to do so.
Few are immune to the allure of money.
We should focus our attention on the church in
the southeast (Kentucky?) who have droves of
people worshipping for days. I just saw the
headline; perhaps someone here has the info.
If we give people what they want and really
need, they will come. people don’t want this,
especially families. Because the media posts
all this woke nonsense 24/7, it gives the
false sense that people are for it. They are not!
There are more of us!

Perfect timing for a third party! The whole country, both donkeys and elephants will run for the third party! Could be represented by a rabbit because they multiply so quickly!
Interesting while the obstacles are immense.
A third Party would certainly put (the cat amongst the pigeons)
Cheers!
the thought certainly stirs my senses
however, the practicality would be
difficult if it happened all at once.
Would the states allow the third
party on their ballots? Etc. Etc.
I don’t have the answers, but think
it should be thought out very carefully.
For now, I am appreciative of the 20
MAGA reps in the house. And applaud
the Illinois rep from downstate, Mary
Miller (?) who refused to attend the
state of the union.
Yes, what formula does one rig the machines with?
They pulled out every stop to steal a Ronald Regan sized landslide. They will do at least that much to stop The Very Presidential DJT from getting the GOPe nomination.
There is an all in poker game going on right now. DJT has the third party option. The GOPe is saying, “you can’t win without us, stand aside”.
I’m betting on The best President in my lifetime. DJT
The House “weaponization of government” hearings have just started. But without a legislative agenda, little will likely be accomplished. It appears that the House reformers don’t believe they can force some of the necessary changes because the Senate and Biden oppose them. So they haven’t prepared a strategic legislative agenda. But there is a way. It was used by Democrats in 1986 against Reagan. It is called the Boland Amendment, an is used to prevent a President from spending for purposes they don’t like. Any purpose.
Because they have promised no more omnibus spending, House Republicans can do their own version of the Boland Amendment this year to roll back the weaponization of the federal government.
They can attach a Boland-style amendment to the 2024 Justice Department appropriations bill. They can attach one to appropriations bills for the Pentagon, homeland security, the IRS, and the intelligence community.
The House Republicans can attach Boland-style amendments to ban federal spending across the entire government on different elements of weaponized wokeness like climate change, ESG, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
They can do it to block certain politicized actions of the Justice Department. They can block any funding toward a new FBI headquarters until the bureau is cleaned up and cleaned out.
They don’t need to bargain with the Senate or the White House if they just hold firm. As long as they keep up the heat on the weaponization of government, the public can redirect that heat on their elected officials.(1)

Do you think they will have the votes to actually do this?
You act as if they have no negotiating tool whatsoever. Hello, debt ceiling calling!
Now will the GOPe/Republican Uniparty representatives use this?
I have my doubts.
So far, it’s been great theater.
Is this done by only the house which is controlled right now by republicans
or does the senate, controlled by dems, have to vote also?
Or, do they not need votes to do this?
I think this is fascinating stuff.
The issue is will they have the will to do it?
Ditto:
You act as if they have no negotiating tool whatsoever. Hello, debt ceiling calling!
Now will the GOPe/Republican Uniparty representatives use this?
I have my doubts.
So far, it’s been great theater.
You are a great apologist.
Have you ever heard Pelosi or Schumer say, “Oh, but we’re only a minority of one third of the branches of government”?
The answer is no.
It’s always full steam ahead with the statists.
do they have negotiating skills?
and what do you mean “apologist”
what are you smoking?
“do they have negotiating skills?”
I would say ‘no’. I would also predict that they (the GOPe in the House) won’t even try!
I see a lot of negativism and defeatism in the original post, which I addressed in the reply that you responded to. I don’t accept that negativism.
If we had representatives with actual backbones, this whole budget could be renegotiated, even this year’s spending, by refusing to approve the debt ceiling increase, unless and until that budget is nullified and renegotiated.
Withhold the ceiling increase and “shut down” the government until our demands are met. Even if it drags on until the end of this fiscal year, in which case, this year’s budget is a moot point.
Unfortunately, we don’t have enough fighters, and people of principle, on our side it would appear.
“and what do you mean “apologist”
what are you smoking?”
You’re right, apologist is not the right word, defeatist would be more appropriate.
We all know that the government will not “shut down” if the House actually fights on the debt ceiling. The federal government will still be raking in billions of dollars and spending billions of dollars.
I already posted on this site, weeks ago, that conservatives will be blamed for any, and all, negative occurrences, like stock market declines, and the statists in the government will attempt to break the law and make everything as painful as possible for everyone, like they did the last time under Obama.
In actuality, this would be the statists’ fault for getting our poor republic to this point by their unrestrained spending problem.
I put this together for re-posting on any message board/discussion group/social media. Feel free to edit to your liking. Can be re-purposed for any candidate.
ON DESANTIS
GOPe-Ron: Reasons why NOT:
GOPe-Ron: Following the RINO playbook: govern as cultural conservative/anti-woke, but take economic marching orders from Wall Street/Chamber of Commerce.
GOPe-Ron: Voted for TPP while in Congress – the ultimate pro-Wall Street, anti-manufacturing jobs bill!
GOPe-Ron: “Not a fan of Trump tariffs” per Fox “News” interview. So much for taking on China!
GOPe-Ron: Club for Growth Invited Ron DeSantis to Join Wall Street Controlled Republican Candidates Haley, Pompeo, Pence, Youngkin and Scott for 2024 Planning Session at Donor Retreat
GOPe-Ron: DeSantis-aligned/anti-MAGA operatives (incl Matt Tyrmand) spearheaded attempted take-over of Project Veritas
GOPe-Ron: DeSantis book published by arch-RINO Rupert Murdoch (Harper Collins) – no money laundering here!
GOPe-Ron: Supported by JEB!, Mitch McConnell, Cindy McCain, Ben Shapiro, etc, (you get the picture)
GOPe-Ron: Instead of going for mandated e-verify for Florida, opted for the meaningless stunt of bussing a few illegals to a Democrat town. Gotta keep those illegals working and US worker wages down in the Sunshine State!
GOPe-Ron: Supported strong anti-Second Amendment “Red Flag” laws in the Sunshine State!
Excellent!! This is what is needed, to educate the voters who he really is.
We should all cut and paste and repost with additions and descriptions …. repeatedly.
This is a call to MAGA to double down on the state / local entities.
One of the main priorities is to pick MAGA candidates for the primaries to run against all of the GOPe candidates.
Another priority is to contact repeatedly the local and state party organizations demanding they support President Trump and the America First agenda items.
Show them you will be watching what they support ……. and to get your vote it has to be supporting President Trump and the America First agenda ……
Remember the Three “Ps”…… be polite, be professional and be persistent ..but don’t let up.
MAGA isn’t just our motto, it is our duty.
“Let’s go Brandon and the GOPe!”
This theory would explain the sudden weird obsession in the advertising industry with drag queens and transgenders.
I came across a hunting and fishing TV channel called Waypoint, continually running ads for a face cream that featured transgenders (for no apparent reason).
With the hundreds of cable channels available, why would you try to sell cosmetics for women on a channel aimed at conservative men? Unless your true intention was to infuriate and disgust those same conservative men?
Money well spent?
Were the transgenders black and white couples or morbidly obese?
I play a little game now when I have to sit through commercials while watching YouTube and score points for the wokeness of each of those commercials.
Sometimes they score high when there is a dinner going on at a long dining room table and there is mixed race couple, sprinkled with an Asian with green hair in attendance, and a gay couple with a baby. So all they need is a morbidly obese person sitting at the head of the table and they have hit all of the categories!
Sickness abounds.
Good idea, have a competition to count the woke messages in the propaganda.
Did you get them all?
Good idea.
We used to play a little game when I was back in the corporate world that we called “bullshit bingo.”
When all the typical jargon words and phrases were spouted, we would call out “bullshit bingo!”
But this is far more serious.
And dangerous.
I would not be surprised if they are “shoving this in our faces”, it is to make us think that the transgender acceptance thing is growing exponentially, and we have to do something NOW!
Could be the massive propaganda campaign to keep us distracted from the bigger issue that SD outlines here. I think I was even getting fooled by it. Maybe the schools and other places that have been highlighted as having rampant lgbt programming going on, really don’t. Yet we see tiktok videos, tv ads and all kinds of other things that seem to be trying to make us focus on it.
I’m not saying it’s not a problem, but until I see more evidence out in the real world, I might not get too spooked by it all.
Just keep an eye on it for now. But it is not THE issue. The economic and national security issue that SD is highlighting is THE issue.
Sounds like psy-ops to demoralize us.
Might even be DOJ and DOS money involved.
Will an intrepid reporter follow the money trail?
Sundance, as always, paints the very accurate picture of globalism. The one concern that jumps off the page re this topic and PDT as being the only counter force to the Big Club, is that CTH followers are far better educated on the subject than 99% of everyone else. PDT knows the entire globalist agenda against him. BUT how does PDT go about educating the MEGA base and everyone else about the devastation caused by and being driven by globalism? If PDT could educate the masses to the same level as the CTH followers, he could make a very serious dent in their plans again. It would strongly seem that him not only agreeing with the GOP counter-woke agenda but somehow educating the masses regarding the nuts and bolts of the MEGA economic benefits vs the wall street globalist agenda and their continued financial raping of America’s middle class, there would likely not be an election fraud strong enough to overcome his following.
The economy IS a culture issue. The biggest culture issue.
I agree!
richard baris told charlie kirk that wokism should be the primary issue for gop. usually I listen to baris but I think he is wrong about that.
steve bannon, commenting on sarah huckabee speech, when sarah focused on woke, bannon pointed out that wokism is ugly but it should not be the main issue. he said china, CCP, southern border are more important issues and I think bannon is correct
“Signal, not noise.”
Like a dog returning to their vomit.
“As long as Donald J Trump singularly represents the only counterforce against this UniParty globalist construct”
This is the part that rubs, REALLY hard:
Trump IS singular.
He is human. He is aging.
Undeniable.
WHERE is the protege we can trust?
Who does PDJT have warming up in the wings?
If we are reliant on one person, singularly, to save our nation, we are toast.
We must realize this and face it, just as we’ve had to face all sorts of unpleasant realities.
I support MAGA, but it’s a fool’s errand to put the fate of our Republic on one pair of shoulders.
MAGA all the way, God bless America.
The protege’ you are looking for is in the mirror when you brush your teeth.
I understand the symbolism of the statement. But in all sincere respect, Sundance who is the “he” that will REPRESENT the “us”?
We, we common men must stand firm and support MAGA. But realistically we still need an actual person.
Thanks for your fine work!
Donald Trump Jr.? If he can acquire a little more of the maturity and level headedness of his father?
She’s yet relatively untested; but, so far, Kari Lake seems to be warming up in the bullpen.
Good call.
Plus, more cajones than most everyone in DC.

This just part of what SD calls, The Big Ugly…Bring it!!
The Uni-Party has been exposed, I have been waiting since the 2015/2016 elections of Donald J Trump to have this fight against the Republican Big Club…they can kiss my ass.
After voting for Trump in 2015/2016, I made a decision that I would never again vote for a Republican Establishment Candidate (no more kicking the can down the road) …I’ll always be voting, but I have no problem writing in a name of my choosing and not the gopE.
Trump2024 is the only choice.
Where does Trump stand on funding Ukraine? I didn’t like all the spending he approved for Covid. Money to cities to support shut downs and money to hospitals for anyone who was admitted and tested positive and extra money if they were put on ventilators. I don’t like how he let “the experts “ manipulate him during that period. So let’s start this campaign with his stance on funding Ukraine.
trump will end ukraine war as soon as he takes office
you don’t like
you don’t like
you apparently do not know the facts
The media on behalf of the Big Club are pushing DeSantis.
MAGA does not see DeSantis as a solution.
MAGA sees only President Trump as THE solution.
We don’t need to be convinced. We come to the

We think DeSantis is a traitor.

“President Trump will always keep fighting for true and honest elections in America!”

These are all good solutions. But the discouraging thing is, those with the authority to make these changes have absolutely no interest in doing so, or even actively oppose these changes. How to overcome the cheat? There has GOT to be a way…. we have to be as ruthless about stopping the cheat as they are about executing it…. Some way to sabotage their efforts…..
The inaction of the RNC to pressure election reform has led to the a new battle strategy being announced. Uniparty shiny thing strategy implemented instead so key election outcomes can be negotiated amongst themselves.
Each offshored manufacturing job weakens America. Yes it makes corporations richer, temporarily.
America cannot forge a nuke power plant pressure vessel any longer. Japan Steel Works can.
America cannot make large artillery any longer.
90% of US antibiotics and pharmaceutical precursors are made in China.
Each primary manufacturing job that is off shored affects some 7 support jobs.
The only service jobs that cannot be off shored are hands on, face to face, jobs: Plumber, Electrician, etc.
Corporations may get temporary profits, but sooner or later the corporation itself is off shored.
Without manufacturing jobs, there is no middle class, nor a ladder to wealth. It divides America into Rich and Poor.
There are few service jobs that pay a living wage beyond the Trades, and those depend on people being able to pay for those services.
The economy is a pyramid, like a Jenga game. Pull out the middle class and it all collapses.
Chinese play a game called “Go”. It is a game of strategy that revolves around gaining territory, denying opponents territory, and requires thinking 10 to 20 moves in advance. Go is much more complex than Chess. America is playing checkers. If we don’t wise up, China will hold all the territory and America will become a 3rd world “has been”.
Go: https://www.britannica.com/topic/go-game
There are 361! possible moves. Greater than 10^80. Possibly more moves than there are atoms in the universe. And the Chinese have been honing these skills for 4000 years. Either Americans pay attention or they lose their sovereignty. Emotions are no substitute for logic.
Sorry. 60! is 8 x 10^80. 361! is beyond my means to calculate. Suffice to say an incredibly large number.
found it. 361! is roughly 1.4 x 10^768. The number of atoms in the known universe is estimated to be 10^80. https://www.calculatorsoup.com/calculators/discretemathematics/factorials.php

Trumps voice for the working man will overpower any fraud of an agenda McConnell and his wall street buddies will throw at us.
However If they don’t secure the elections it won’t mean a thing.
Whenever you focus on strictly economic issues (as opposed to the horse blinders attack on Woke Inc. which deSantis is making much sound and fury, but isnt actually accomplishing much i.e. see whats actually in the Disney bill) in the comments on various Con Inc. channels, you’ll be attacked as a soulless unprincipled hack, essentially a leftist.
What they fail to recognize, is that when folks are suffering economically, all the woke stuff takes a back seat. And that’s why we’ve been losing the “culture war” for the last few decades. (Of course the milquetoast surrender monkeys like Mittens Delecto don’t help). People don’t have the bandwidth to give a rats derriere about what their kids are learning in school when they’re worried about how they’re going to afford breakfast the next morning.
Also, I’m predicting thay RDS will announce May 15th. Know what else is happening on the 15th? The regime plans on ending the WuFlu emergency. Coincidence? I think not.
Actually, my biggest fear is that thanks to the collection of either totally compromised Jabronis or total pultroons like Pete Buttigieg in this disaster of an Administration, that the number one issue is how the Hell we stave of the imminent beginning of WORLD WAR III!!! Yes, I think things have become that serious and forget all the stuff discussed in the article above!!! 😱
I hate to say this but WW3 has already started. There is no “Staving it off. It started in 2014 when we meddled in Ukrainian affairs right on Russia’s front door step. The US went right up on Russia’s porch, lit a bag of poo on fire and ran away laughing.
The Number One Issue is ending war. The ending can be simply done by. First. Admitting we made a miscalculation in supporting Ukraine. Ending support for The Ukraine, and Finally. Stop Poking the Bear!
But if you have ever got into an argument with a Democrat. You will find they never admit they were wrong. So the first step will never be taken.
The culture is the thing! n The worst economic trials in the past brought us together.
Soros and Globohomo work together. This is why republicans loses, they have lost the grasp of rhetoric symbolism and art. We can have the best economy but if we are destroying Christian America, pushing BLTGT alpabet soup, the destruction of our monuments we have sold our souls to satan.
I’ve voted for the “Big Club” since 1984. Not happening anymore.
In 1984 the United States of America was much better, and more united, than 2023.
Thank you statists! sarc/
1984 was the last President who didn’t cower in front of the globalists. Thank you RR!
Is DeSantis so very bad? He seems to care quite a bit for protecting children from “Wokism” in all of its pernicious ways most especially protecting children. Trump embraced elements of the homosexual lobby. Let us talk about the vaxx. Trump, while given a tough situation was rolled by many including his handpicked advisors. As for Soros supporting DeSantis? Please, that is not an endorsement, it is a reckoning. You do not like DeSantis’s backers? Oh politics is now a purity test? I supported Trump whole-hog. I wanted him to come back and continue many of his America First policies. Mostly I wanted revenge for a stolen election and the CABAL abusing him in the most unsavory ways…In a word – they f***** him over. No getting around that. But we are where we are. DeSantis has done an amazing job in Florida. Flawless actually. Trump has not been flawless. He is the worst selector of personnel in history. That says lot. I know most here love the Trump. But you are losing your minds over DeSantis who is living rent free. Reconsider the man. He has 20 more virtues I could reel off but I will leave it there.
In order for the Big Club to continue, the SCOTUS lawsuit concerning “2020 fraud by lawmakers” and referenced below must be ignored.
Sudance writes: “As part of the strategic political effort, the Republican wing of the Big Club needs to carve up the supporters of Donald Trump into smaller, easier to target, pieces”.
SCOTUS to reconsider hearing case alleging Biden, Harris, lawmakers ignored 2020 fraud, broke oaths
A “rigged election” is equivalent to war since both “put into power” a “victor,” argues plaintiff, and therefore allegations of a rigged election must be investigated.

The Supreme Court is set to reconsider whether to hear a lawsuit alleging President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Vice President Mike Pence, 291 House members, and 94 senators violated their oaths of office by refusing to investigate evidence of fraud in the 2020 election before certifying Biden as the victor on Jan. 6, 2021, allowing for Biden and Harris to be “fraudulently” inaugurated.
The plaintiff, Raland J. Brunson, seeks the defendants’ removal from office for violating their oaths.
After the Supreme Court declined on Jan. 9 to hear Brunson’s lawsuit, he filed a petition for reconsideration on Jan. 23. On Feb. 1, the court scheduled the private conference for reconsidering the petition on Friday, when four of the nine justices must vote to grant the case a hearing for it to move forward.

Brunson, who is representing himself in the case, originally filed the lawsuit, Brunson v. Alma S. Adams, et al, on June 21, 2021 in Utah’s 2nd District Court. In August 2021, the case was moved from the state court to the U.S. District Court in Utah. After that court ruled against Brunson in February 2022, he appealed to the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Before a decision was rendered by the 10th Circuit, Brunson realized he could bypass the appeals court and go straight to the Supreme Court by invoking the high court’s Rule 11. Under the rule, a case pending before the appeals court may bypass that court’s decision and go to the Supreme Court if it “is of such imperative public importance as to justify deviation from normal appellate practice and to require immediate determination in this Court.” The Supreme Court received Brunson’s petition in September 2022.
In his petition for reconsideration, Brunson argues that there must be a penalty for violating oaths of office or else they are “not binding.”
A “rigged election” is equivalent to war since both “put into power” a “victor,” he argues, and therefore allegations of “a rigged election” must be investigated.
“The Oath of Office requires that aid and comfort cannot be given to those levying war through a rigged election,” Brunson writes.
As a “Presidential rigged election is a threat to the Constitution,” he argues, “when members of Congress become aware of such allegations an investigation into these allegations is required or they become violators of their Oath of Office.”
“If a person who takes the Oath of Office owes allegiance to the United States,” Brunson continues, and the U.S. code regarding treason “states that whoever owing such allegiance violates this allegiance shall be incapable of holding office, then wouldn’t it be fitting that they shall be removed from office as well?”
Since his complaint alleges a serious national security breach that is an act of war and holds that “it requires an act on an emergency level to repair this breach immediately — to stop this war, and that those perpetrators of this breach are the respondents,” he writes, “doesn’t this Court have the power to adjudicate these serious claims and to immediately end the conflict and fix the national security breach?”
Brunson’s prior filing in the federal district court case noted that members of Congress had requested an investigation into the election. On Jan. 2, 2021, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), along with 10 other senators, requested “an emergency 10-day audit of the election returns in the disputed states.” A total of 147 Republican lawmakers objected to the certification of the election on Jan. 6.

This may be a naive question but just who do the corporations think are going to buy their products after they have impoverished the USA middle class and the foreigners are working for slave wages?
Did you say buy? Do salves have wages?
Oh, and another thing. Besides avoiding culture wars and woke arguments, lay off the 2020 election. Spilt milk under the bridge and over the dam. Put it in the past and forget it. Forward. Policy and forward. Nothing but forward. Policies that worked and will work again because they are true.
Does anyone remember that endless storyline about Sandra Fluke and contraception? I remember Jon Stewart mocking Fox News for talking about vaginas so much LOL 😂 And BTW, does anyone remember whatever happened there? Exactly. Which is why I’m highly skeptical about the culture war stuff they’re pushing now….its not that culture war issues aren’t important, they are. It’s that it’s being orchestrated behind the scenes for political reasons. Eventually they end up in the Narrative Cemetery, discarded, forgotten, never to be spoken of again and nothing ever becomes of it. After 20 years of false choices and theater you get fed up.
The other thing looking back on that Sandra Fluke thing is how far the Overton Window has shifted in 10 years. Free contraception used to be a big deal? Now we’re up to sex changes for 10 year olds. I used to focus exclusively on Democrats but the biggest blame lay on Republicans because for all the conservative media theatre they haven’t done shit to stop any of it.
This will all come to an end.

“businessmen were the most powerful on earth” and “merchants were the great men of the earth”.
All the nations were deceived by your magic spell
If there are any well-intentioned Democrats left, they should be realizing that all their “for the working class, against the 1%” schtick is now officially owned by MAGA, but this time it’s for real and not just a virtue-signal pose.
We can no longer coalition with the invertebrate, 23-Knives Republicans. Awake, Two Gender Democrats – we have more in common than you had ever imagined…
I agree that MAGA economics and foreign policy of putting America’s economy and the livelihoods of ordinary Americans first and not engaging in senseless, life wasting wars and foreign interventionism are the most important policies to focus on, but fighting against wokism in a real substantive way is also important.
Wokism is a toxic poison and must be fought in a real and substantive way. RINO politicians who talk against wokism, but then don’t do anything to actually end it does not count as fighting against wokism.
For example, Ron DeSantis said that he would abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which is the special administrative district that gives Walt Disney World special and extra political power.
In reality, it looks like DeSantis will simply change Florida state law so that the governor instead of Disney World will be the one to appoint commissioners to the Reedy Creek board.
In other words, DeSantis will turn Reedy Creek into just another government board with cushy jobs for the Florida governor to place their loyal cronies in. Reedy Creek will change from being run by Disney World cronies to being run by cronies of whatever Florida governor at the time appointed them.
This may certainly prove to be a nuisance for Disney World, but won’t likely substantively punish them for their wokism or force them to change their ways.
Wokism is political correctness on steroids and seeks to divide people based on every identity politics criteria possible.
I’m 40 and didn’t know what homosexuality was until I was 11 and didn’t know what drag or transgenderism was until I was 14. Now, young preschool age children are forced to learn about these age-inappropriate topics due to woke curriculum and perverted drag queen story times.
The political establishment may very well have created wokism to distract from MAGA economics and foreign policies, but it’s still having a very real impact on people.
I refuse to accept that or regard that as normal.
Fighting for MAGA economics and foreign policy and fighting against wokism are all important things that can and must be done simultaneously.
It’s interesting how support for engaging in senseless, neocon, life wasting wars and foreign interventionism waxes and wanes within the Republican and Democratic Parties over time.
The only policy stance that Democrats in the 1990s and 2000s generally held that was better than the policy stance generally held by Republicans during this time was that they were more likely than Republicans to oppose senseless neocon wars.
Now Republicans and Democrats are equally neocon with the exception of Trump and the few MAGA Republicans who oppose neoconism.
I would argue that Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson are examples of historical Democrat neocons for their support of the Korean and Vietnam Wars.
Historically, politicians within either the Republican or Democratic parties who support economic populism that puts America’s economy and the livelihoods of ordinary Americans first is also rare.
Trump was the first major figure in decades in either party who both supported economic nationalism and had enough power to substantially act towards economic nationalism.
God bless and protect President Trump. Good men are so very rare.
If you havent read them– “Visions of the Anointed” by Thomas Sowell. and “Fatal Conceit” by F.A.Hayek.
In an ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharatta, a sage poses the riddle:
“What is the greatest wonder of the world?”
The answer:
“That no one , though he sees others dying all around, believes he himself will die.”
I would expect a lot of effort to be put into trying to either ban Trump from running or rigging the primaries like the Democrats did to Bernie Sanders. They cannot win in a straight up fight.
The whole purpose of Nikki Haley is simply to serve as a money laundering conduit to the tens of thousands of useless, incompetent, GOP “strategists” and other campaign consultants, whose only job is to suck money out of the economy during election season.
Trump will be able to go on stage next year and just laugh and point at them as the Hydra that they are. Cut off one head, two more take its place.
The problem WE have is our collective cowardice in refusing to abandon the Republican Party altogether. Shame on us all.
I think I might disagree with Sundance’s underlying point here.
I think where we are as a country right now is largely a result of our affluence. Our form of government has been so successful in creating so much relative wealth, for so many people, for so long now, that our society has largely grown to take it for granted. We are basically spoiled-rotten. And we are so addicted to that wealth, that we will agree to anything to preserve it (give up freedoms). We dont take the time to engage in our civic duties in order to keep our elected representatives in check. We are too busy working, trying to make more money, to get a bigger house, a nicer car, send our kids to more expensive schools, etc…
The materialism in our society is pervasive. Our focus is on ourselves, what we can afford and what status those material things bring us in relation to our peers. Our idea of happiness is to be successful enough to afford that nice house, car, fancy college, then maybe getting a vacation home and hopefully retiring early. Every minute of every day is focused on achieving that. (Most people arent considering the fact that when their kids get that fancy degree, they will still be clueless, unskilled and therefore useless and will STILL be dependent on their parents.). And then you have the fact that more and more young people don’t even want to have children so they are even MORE self-absorbed.
What’s happening is biblical. Our society has turned away from God and replaced him with material things. The ONLY thing that will fix it is for us to turn away form the worldly, secular material things and to turn back towards God. Worship the creator, not the creation. While the left worships the planet, and the ocean and the animals, the right worships cars and houses and jewelry.
While I too have noticed and thought about the culture war, the wokeism and anti-wokeism, and how all that can distract us from things that are more important to the success of the country as a whole, maybe its not necessarily a bad thing.
Maybe we need something to bring us to the table to get us engaged. There are a lot of families with two working parents, in white collar fields, who arent doing it to survive, they are just doing it to make more money. They are making a bunch of money, but also paying nannies and babysitters. They have no time to engage in local politics. They have secure jobs and dont feel threatened by offshoring of manufacturing jobs. But, they do feel threatened by their daughter having to swim against a boy in the next swim meet. (Maybe just because it affects her ability to get the scholarship to that fancy college.). There is a huge “bubble” of people who arent engaging in ANY of the discussions that are had in here, for instance, because they are too focused on the things Ive talked about.
I agree with Sundance in that most republican candidates are just globalists that will give lip service to the social issues in order to deflect from the money-making schemes they are pushing to enrich themselves. And I agree that Trump is without a doubt the most economically astute individual in the room and knows exactly what it takes to put America on top, as he did before, and got us there in short order, by 2019.
But, dare I say, maybe economic prosperity is the opposite of what this country needs. Maybe we need a dose of poverty.
Maybe our unprecedented economic well-being in 2019 conditioned us to be more apt to accept the assaults on our freedom, the total upending of our entire way of life, and the promises of “just do this so we can get back to normal”, which resulted in a stolen election and now we are left with a largely dysfunctional country, with record inflation, headed towards another world war.
Our culture is so depraved that the only thing that will save this country is God. There are no laws or policies that will restore it. For God to save us, We have to turn to Him. We need a nationwide-scale revival.
I guess the question I am posing is, what will bring us to Him?
I dont think the answer is more focus on more wealth and economic prosperity, which I argue is a large part of the problem. The more financially secure a person is the less apt they are to think they need God. And I believe God is the only one going to get us out of this mess.
If the RINOs, communists and corruptocrats in our government want to steal America’s wealth and spread it around the world, well….
You see my point? Its just a question, so dont shoot the questioner.
And politically speaking, I guess Im saying I dont think its wise to focus on EITHER the economic issues OR the social issues, solely. It needs to be both. I think thats more to the point of what sundance was arguing.
I guess Im just taking it one step further in questioning what does THIS country actually NEED more. To be fixed economically, or to be fixed socially/culturally?
I think you have a very wise point
1 Timothy 6:9-10 NKJV
But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. [10] For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

DeSantis is being promoted as the woke killer – Disney, education curriculum/textbooks, , and on and on – once you see it, it can’t be unseen.
And? So because DeSantis is being promoted as the woke killer, there is something nefarious about that cause? Im all about killing wokeism!
The inaction of the RNC to pressure election reform has led to the a new battle strategy being announced
Right now, the most important issue is foreign policy. Immigration and Trade are not only second, but a distant second.
Why? Because the Deep State owes its very existence to the seemingly insatiable desire for foreign interventionism that our politicians have had since 1945. If we elect non-interventionist politicians, the Deep State will begin to come apart at the seams, and it can be dealt a fatal blow. And from there many problems will be solved. Not just our problems, but the world’s too.

Also, I find my iPhone version of TreeHouse almost unusable because of the popup ads that take up almost all of the page in the horizontal mode.
Anyone else have this problem?
I rarely use my phone for TreeHouse…
This essay is utter brilliance. I intend to share it far and wide.
Your thoughts may be 100% correct. But allowing wokeism to continue running rampart through our institutions and culture will leave us no culture worthy of the efforts of DJT, or of any patriot.
Very important point… Zeiglar, VP of the FL GOP, to the RINO Joe Gruters’ GOP Presidency, was on Bannon tonight, doing JUST THIS!
Talking about “listening to the grass roots”, (mentioned several times), but he never said “letting the grass roots guide our policy”. EVER!
Besrs watching. More GOPe BS..
