Do not let these transparently corrupt political grifters like Republican strategist Steve Cortes raise your blood pressure; instead, mock them mercilessly wherever and whenever you see them.
Former Trump ally Steve Cortes announced today he has taken a job with the Never Back Down PAC that supports Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. As a result, he is reversing all his prior points of advocacy to endorse Ron DeSantis for 2024.
[Pictured left, Cortes with fellow grifting scumbags John Cardillo and Matthew Tyrmand (the architect of the Project Veritas attack on O’Keefe) as they attend a pro-Desantis effort earlier this year.]
The shallow character of these income chasers is pathetic. However, the Sea Island billionaires are pouring money into the DeSantis camp for exactly this purpose.
The goal of the stop Trump corporate donors is to retain their own financial status; Cortes is simply accepting their money and displaying his own character, nothing more. We said last year, 2024 would be the opportunity to see what prices people put on their allegiances. Today, is just another reveal.
There’s no merit or value in looking at Cortes, other than just to accept his objective – to enrich himself.
Meanwhile back in Florida, Ron DeSantis has separated himself legally from his state political action committee (PAC) Friends of Ron DeSantis, which now creates the mechanism for his remaining $85 million to transfer into the Super PAC ‘Never Back Down’, the same organization that just hired Cortes.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis severed his connection to his long-standing state political committee and the tens of millions of dollars that it now controls, a step he needs to take ahead of a presidential campaign.
The Republican governor is expected to jump into the race for president soon and the move to rebrand his Florida political committee — called Friends of Ron DeSantis — is the most concrete sign so far that his candidacy is imminent.
The website for the committee was changed on Tuesday morning to say that its mission is “committed to advancing the Freedom Agenda and keeping Florida free.” But more importantly, the website says that the committee is associated with state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia and not DeSantis. The committee on Tuesday also filed paperwork that says Ingoglia is replacing a Tampa accountant as the official chair of the organization.
Ingoglia is a Republican ally of DeSantis who sponsored several of the governor’s key legislative priorities during the recently concluded legislative session, including a crackdown on illegal immigration that includes $12 million for the governor’s controversial migrant relocation program.
A spokesperson with DeSantis’ political operation did not comment on the shift and Ingoglia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
DeSantis first set up his committee back in 2018 and he used it to raise a record amount of money for his re-election campaign last year as he pulled in donations from many major Republican donors. Current campaign finance records show that the committee has nearly $86 million in the bank.
But DeSantis cannot use money raised for Friends of Ron DeSantis in a federal race because state law does not limit how much someone can give to the political committee or the source of the donations. But that money could be shifted to a super PAC that backs DeSantis if the governor is no longer connected to the political committee. While some have questioned the legality of such a move, the Federal Elections Commission deadlocked over a similar strategy that was used by Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.). (read more)
There is still no indication how the DeSantis handlers are going to navigate the reality that once they make their official campaign announcement, it will be transparent to everyone that Ron DeSantis was lying about his intentions during his reelection pretense. In my opinion, recognizing that everything DeSantis is built upon fraud and lies, will likely make even people stop supporting him.
The insufferable pretending of the “Book Tour” and national branding effort to avoid the Florida “resign to run” law, shows just how corrupt and conniving the network is. Nothing they do now will erase that fundamental problem.
Ron DeSantis has been planning this 2024 effort for several years, and yet people who supported him denied it. Now that admissions will come, and the character of the governor will take center stage, it is very likely that fewer voters will accept his candidacy regardless of how many hundreds of billions are handed out to illicit endorsements, influence and support.
Cortes just becomes the latest in a long line of masks to drop as we see the financial corruption that exists within our national political constructs. There will be more, because there is so much money on the table. For the Sea Island billionaires that are buying the pundits, there are Trillions At Stake.
Steve Cortes was a senior advisor to Trump’s 2016 and 2020 campaigns. He now serves as National Spokesman for the pro-DeSantis PAC, Never Back Down. (link)
Gee, I wonder what changed?…

Principled fella, that Steve.
Now we know why he was at Fox.
You’ve got to have Tegridy.
Lol, South Park?
Cool user name.
Cortez has been on Bannon War Room too. I’m surprised. All this constant betrayal makes you paranoid. No one is trustworthy? No one is willing to put the country before their pockets?
It blows my mind that there are so few truly loyal to America. Wow.
I pretty much viewed a DeSantis run in 2024 as finished after his last few months.
Unless, of course, DeSantis knows he will be protected by the deep state, he’d be foolish to run IF his intentions really are to MAGA and to put America’s and Americans best interests first, something our nation desperately needs.
If, however, DeSantis’ intentions are to protect the existing politically weaponized anti-america infrastructure, which will further erode our nation, then I guess he would view it safe to run. 😞
DeSantis running in 2024, challenging Trump, is another reason I fear that the deep state DOJ/FBI will indict Trump re: J6.
Just exhausting. I don’t know how President Trump endures all this unrelenting attack and danger.
God bless PDJT, give him strength … and wisdom to “fight the good fight.” Trump is in the twighlight of his years on earth. Best to fight for God, justice, truth. Eternity is forever. This life is fleeting and short.
I like your last paragraph. thank you, kare.
I loved the whole thing!
twue!
“DeSantis running in 2024, challenging Trump, is another reason I fear that the deep state DOJ/FBI will indict Trump re: J6.”
My fear too, that they will bring all attacks to bear at the same time with all the dems and gop establishment supporting it. The corruption is enormous.
Will the NWO’s lawfare minions be desperate and dopey enough to amp up their persecution prosecutions of President Trump?
These persecution prosecutions are turning President Trump into an international, larger than life, hero; a hero who continues to defy and fight the humanity despising NWO Death Cult.
Will they really be stupid enough to turn President Trump into our times symbol of heroic resistance; a cooler and more charismatic MLK or Mandela?
If the possibility of this happening triggers frets and fears, perhaps heed the many, many warnings to “fear not”?
It’s about the upfront money he gets, I’ll bet.
The thing is, he’s ruined his shot at being a reputable reporter and person for the rest of his life.
A dollar bill can’t and won’t change that.
Or maybe Cortes is smart enough to ask what’s after Trump?
Who pushes MAGA forward after Trump?
When?
I voted for Trump 2x and know his MAGA Policy is right for this time.
We need someone to carry the torch after Trump. Who and when?
Definitely not DeSantis. He has shown us who he is and it isn’t MAGA.
Well then, Cortes could have been smart enough to get Trump into the White House in 2024 and THEN look around and see who is MAGA.
#NeverMeatball #NeverRon!
Cortes went for the money. Another sell-out.
The point is, DeSantis hasn’t done one thing that is MAGA.
MAGA is not about Drag Queens, Disney.
There is no ‘ after Trump.’ If you have not noticed already, America is sliding down the tubes.
President Trump must be put back on office.
Why get on a sinking ship if not only for the money. It’s a short term payoff and nothing more. Grifters with no convictions is who these people are.
The fact is Trump is already the nominee.
Cortes thinks MAGA will forget this betrayal. We. Will. Not. Politically the man will never ever get close to Trump or Bannon again. Hope he enjoys his hundreds of thousands now. Judas Cortes.
Probably millions, sadly, you’d think he’d put our country before his greed.
Why should he put our country before his greed? He isn’t White European Heritage Stock…
Grifters gonna grift and Corteses gonna Cortes….
Such a miserable team of meatballs.
I never liked Steve Cortes. Now I know why. He’s a backstabber like so many other sellouts.
The good thing is he has screwed himself out of any position in the next Trump administration.
Now Bannon needs to kick him and his constant economic shittalking to the curb.
I find it appalling that after all of the white board talks that Steve-Friend-of-Meatball has done about how PDJT is saving this country economically, how Biden is destroying this country economically, and how the most of the people in this country would vote for PDJT, Steve Cortes is going to put his efforts into making sure that PDJT does not get the nomination.
How could he do that to the workers of this country??!! President Trump gave us the best 4 years ever and this traitor does not mind selling out our futures for a few bucks. HE KNOWS what PDJT did for us and that is still not enough for him. What a traitor to the American worker.
Yes, I don’t get it. What does Cortez believe his future holds?
Millions from the Ron Desantis PAC and future jobs with RINO campaigns.
Bannon Blasts Trump Turncoat Steve Cortes: ‘Thirty Pieces of Silver’.
https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/05/09/bannon-blasts-trump-turncoat-steve-cortes-thirty-pieces-of-silver/
Allrighty-thanx
Here’s his shtick, claiming Trump is running merely for political revenge and a rematch that is supposedly beneath America:
The former Trump talking head signaled in his article that he was not interested in taking revenge on the political establishment that has worked tirelessly to defame Donald Trump and his allies. He writes: “…given the pervasive pessimism of the country broadly and widespread dissatisfaction with the idea of a Biden-versus-Trump rematch, doesn’t it make eminent sense to consider the most compelling candidate who can break that logjam: Ron DeSantis? We are better than a rematch, America.”
Exactly the kind of disingenuous non-sequitur straw-man talking point we have seen and can expect from the Meatbots, reducing the entire MAGA movement to save America and bless the world down to mere childish mean-girl squabbles.
“We are better than a rematch, America”.
OMG, Con Inc scripts are now completely disconnected from reality.
How utterly fascinating and very,very encouraging.
Human history and Americas history, specifically, is based on the existential desire for “a rematch” that allows good to ultimately triumph over evil.
Who the gods intend to destroy, they first make insane.
😂😂😂
Isn’t it remarkable how transparently small they are?
Rematch games are the best.
Let’s play ball!!
I know. It’s so strange for him to say that. This is not about revenge.
Well…he makes no sense.
Let’s just move on. Cortez isn’t important anyway.
It makes sense in the effort to diminish PDJT’s motives, to reduce it to childishness, something that the mocking mindless Left can get their little teeth into, a narrative they can consume and share via sippy cups.
The narratives they generate are always important, to note, to dissect, to mock mercilessly.
This is all so insulting to Floridians who voted for the slob.
When you read their arguments you realize it’s insulting to all sentient beings.
true, he had no intention to serve out the term he just won.
DeSantis is as good a the “book tour” as Hillary was with the “listening tour.” Both fails.
Ha ha. I had forgotten about the “Listening Tour”!!
And he as been on Bannon’s show almost everyday for a while with Bannon just sucking up to him like his BFF.
I just made comments a couple of weeks here ago about something not seeming right with Bannon lately to me and caught some incoming flak for it.
Hope I’m wrong but pay close attention going forward.
He is totally Trump….I watched Bannon rip..Barr the other day for messing with Trump..Why in the world would you think Bannon would step away from Trump..He is smart not stupid like Cortez..Cortez is just another Judas and we all need to let him know that he is a disgusting scum bag..
I can’t remember the last time Cortes was on. Grace Chong from Warroom plainly stated that they knew he was team Rhonda from when he came out so strongly with McCarthy. I think we are going to see more betrayers…I include McCarthy and MTG if what I am seeing coming from Laura Loomer is right….Like SD says, sunlight is the best disinfectant….
Laura Loomer is rumored to have a deep connection to Milo Yanniopolos, so the smear might be a takedown of MTG. However, MTG re-election campaign was not contested hotly as say Lauren Boebert’s was, and I want to know why….
See We the People post above — Gannon posted “Thirty piece of silver” on Gettr re Cortez (gave link from The National Pulse).
See my comment below. Bannon was on this almost immediately; he posted it on GETTR only 48 minutes after the article was published and started the “Thirty Pieces of Silver…” response. He also was clearly not amused when he mentioned it briefly on War Room.
I like Bannon for the most part and I think he does a lot to give good folks a chance to reach an audience. But I’ve also always thought he has got the whiff of a grifter about him. I think he mostly says what he thinks his audience wants to hear, rather than giving them the unvarnished truth, as he claims.
Care to share an example to support your statements? I watch Warroom daily and want to know what I missed.
I watch it daily as well, and don’t see what Clark implies..
I also watch Warroom daily. I, too, would like to know what I missed. Bannon says what he KNOWS; he’s very well-read and speaks truth. Yes, sometimes I’m irritated with his interruptions; he’s always thinking of what he’s going to say (instead of listening).
I have learned a lot from Warroom. No one is perfect, Bannon carries more positives in his Quiver than negatives. MHO!
I agree Bannon sucks up to his guests and constantly blows air on his viewers. Bannon seems to be doing Warroom for the money, he was unemployed after Trump fired him. It has the feel of an Echo chamber.
Bannons interview of Trump was painful to watch, Bannon clashed with Trump the whole time. Bannon is not worthy to be Trumps 2nd in Command.
I’d like to hear Kash Patel do multiple interviews of President Trump, and clearly lay out all the events of the past 4 years with data and facts. There is so much misinformation out there.
I have felt that same way. Wary for some reason about Bannon.
I don’t know why President Trump offered the hand of friendship to Ken Cuccinelli and brought him into his administration. He was the one who tried to wrangle delegates away from President Trump, challenged at every turn… but then he got the job, spoke warmly about our President, lauded the job he was doing…
First chance he got, he STABBED OUR PRESIDENT IN THE BACK!
This is the thanks our President gets when he offers olive branches.
Cortes is a grifter. Never listened to him and actually didn’t know he was on the Trump Campaign.
I cannot wait for President Trump’s next Inauguration! I full expect him to have several hundred EO’s ready to sign immediately….including the Schedule F one 😀
Cuccinelli was once a local politician in my district in VA. He’s a piece of (blank).
Yes, I know…. totally!
Hi OSC, He’s been pushing those stupid DeSplitter mailings and ads on Fox Carolina 24/7. keep in mind, the Democrats made South Carolina the first Primary state for 2024. That’s why all of the out of state Democrats being seen in the state the last few months. Cheers
Democrats make South Carolina first presidential primary voting state

I was seeing them all the time… but since Tucker got fired from Fox hubby and I have been streaming instead of watching regular TV. So refreshing!
We are working towards dumping our cable altogether, but hubby has to have the local news (solved that issue) AND most importantly…. On Patrol Live – that is going to take some work to overcome LOL!
GL with that. I love Roku. Pluto TV has OAN, War Room, Beck, Newsmax etc. Much cheaper also. You can add free movie/news channels also. Just take a look at it in case you haven’t. Best to you
Yes, I have Pluto and love it!
I’m now puzzled when I read complaints about President Trump getting “stabbed in the back”.
Has a stabbing ever harmed President Trump?
Has each stabbling, rather than harming President Trump, actually helped him by revealing the persons true self; a revelation that many would never believe until they saw the betrayal with their own eyes.
Example? Pence.
Most people can’t be told. They must be shown so they figure things out for themselves.
Trying to tell people uncomfy truths just triggers their ” shoot the bearer of bad news” reaction; a reaction CON Inc would encourage and exploit.
Bottom line, thank God for President Trumps wisdom and his et tu? Impervious “back”.
Trump turns shivs to boomerangs.
At what point does your soul matter over money?
Regardless, the bigger problem here is obvious: the GOP has sided with the Democrats to end MAGA “once and for all.” They have no intention of winning any election in 2024 that has a true MAGA candidate. Arizona confirmed that. So does the ongoing conference in DC that Loomer is reporting on to organize the cheat in 2024.
Heaven… don’t miss it for the world.
yes I have seen this…it scares the bejezus out of me….
What’s “the GOP”?
Here’s a link from President Trump that helps answer this question.
https://theprecinctstrategy.com.
Hopefully those who are willing to help him Save America will:
Read it. Share it. And do it.
GOP = Grand Old Party = The Republican Party = Wallstreet and Corpations, invested in China’s and Ukraine’s success
They target duping real conservatives for their voting base
MAGA = True Populism, A Strong Middle Class, Strong Borders, Jobs, Energy Independence, Low Inflation, Strong Dollar. Invested in America’s success.
Probably one of the most prescient posts I have ever read on CTH. Loomer and Logan(in Texas) are doing incredible work. We need to know what they are up to. At least we know the players at that meeting. Sad to hear that they included the SOS in GA.
The same SOS who refused to investigate any fraud in Fulton County, swore up and down there was no fraud in Fulton County, then leaked the tape of his call with President Trump to the CIA’s newspaper The Washington Post? That POS?
I’m not the least bit surprised
Well, why is it I am not shocked.
The weasel has been double faced for a while now.
The plan of the ds is to isolate PDJT-very Alinskyian in design and operation.
Best pat-he was never MAGA. The evidence was there for a bit now. Its in the open because he got the deal he wanted.
Similar with the noon clown show in place of Rush. The stars are lining up for ronnie but they are only meteors.
What a scum bag in good boy clothing Cortes is!
Hello friend, I saw many of them come out during Buchanan’s pre-Maga-Maga run in 1996. The last of the Paleo-conservatives were flushed out of the party as the Neocons seized power. Bill Bennet was one I never forgot or forgave, but the biggest traitor was arch-Fabian Speaker CFR comrade Newtie. Much of the criminality & treason of the CFR criminal Clinton Admin days was sanctioned by him, his fellow CFR brother in arms and brother in treason in deconstructing America to build up China. Slainte
Thank you, sir. Newtie belongs to the swamp. I read Bill Bennet’s books thinking of him as a good guy-it is pride that makes these people fall for the CFR lies. I need to purge my bookshelves.
Best part about the last 2 years is that the camps are dividing and the wafflers have to choose a side.
In the history of the world, the righteous few win, even though at a large cost. I like clear lines of topic definitions. Grey is not my favorite color….
We must live so as to win. Be it the crown of glory in Heaven, or freedom here.
All my bets to you.
Ty friend. All of Pat’s books are highly recommended, especially “Death of the West”. 1984 should be read by everyone. In case you haven’t that would be another great one to read.
Slainte
In some ways it’s beneficial for us to have Ron DeSantis run because he attracts others to him both from the media and Trump’s former administration or allies so we can more easily know who are true friends are going into Trump’s campaign and into his second term.
There still will be sleepers that need to be identified later but during the campaign a lot of ducks will be flushed into the open.
The MAGA Litmus test–otherwise we might never have known. Beyond anger at some of the “conservative” sites that I once frequented–professing to be such “critical thinkers”. If DeSantis TRULY cared about the plight of the middle class, the base, the unrepresented–he would see that he should support the clear peoples choice, DJT. He should back off from running–BUT NO, he cares more about enriching himself. How is that not CRYSTAL CLEAR? Also if they were truly critical thinkers they would realise that by staying relevant, vocal, the peoples clear choice,and on offense, DJT has provided a deterrent to the complete “fundamental transformation” that has been occuring in overdrive. What if DJT has just resumed his private life and not pursued re-election? The Uniparty would have COMPLETELY destroyed the country–there would be no recourse , no veiled threat of the “people” still capable of turning the tide, they would be completely unfettered . But DJT’s perseverence, his presence, his persistence–that has saved us from complete annhiliation. IMO. Anyone that can’t see this can go F themselves, Ace.
Great post friend. I always loved Chronicles, who were always Buchanan/PDJT supporters and the American Conservative. Those were always 2 solid sources. Cheers
Pedro Gonzalez at Chronicles hates Donald Trump. So does Michael Yon.
“But DJT’s perseverance, his presence, his persistence–that has saved us from complete annihiliation.”
I agree with you… Though I think God is using President Trump and many others, imperfect thought they may be. Just like the rest of us.
“Do not let these transparently corrupt political grifters like republican strategist Steve Cortes raise you blood pressure; instead, mock them mercilessly wherever and whenever you see them.” ~ Sundance
Agreed.
Emotions are energy or strength. The limited strength we have can either be self destructive or it can be channeled or redirected toward productive action so it doesn’t eat us up and spillover in our relations with friends and family.
I hope that someone on the Trump campaign will suggest to Trump (if re-elected: I’m truly hoping and doing my part that it is so, but not yet convinced the corruption and the steal are “overcome-able) to look to state legislators for positions of trust in his administration: I know that operating in DC is a totally different beast and they would make mistakes, but if there were just a half dozen or so who can be pulled from the states based on merit and true MAGA with NO ties to the DC donor class and deep state….
I think it’s worth a try/look-see: as the first Trump term reveals in spades, the DC pundits, bureaucrats and elected political class are bought and paid for by the highest bidders. Once the political wind shifts or there’s more money/power to be had, they all shift to accommodate so they can get more $$ and stay connected to the $$ DC controlling power circuit.
You know: gotta keep one’s status on the DC cocktail circuit. (Man, I hate that town. That such an honorable man as George Washington has his surname on the nation’s capital must have him spinning in his grave….)
” but during the campaign a lot of ducks will be flushed into the open.”
Bingo!
That gives me hope.
Yes, this. Separating the wheat from the chaff can happen before Trump puts together his next administration.
Steve, Et tu Brute?
At least when I search Rumble he doesn’t appear to have been on Bannon’s War Room in the past few days … so hopefully Steve Bannon has separated himself from Cortes.
Sundance, your earlier post showing the above photo of Cortes with Matthew Tyrmand was indeed prescient.
I’m still steaming, but will take your advice, when I calm down, and will see if I can work my way into some mockery. . .

Again Vicky?
Something has to give
Come quickly Lord Jesus
Maybe he can do both: 1) enrich himself with free money and 2) campaign for PDJT after DeSantis campaign implodes.
Not saying it’s right, but it is politics and many have sold their soul (several times over).
Why would he be allowed near the Trump Campaign to be able to gather Intel and Strategies so that he can sell it to the enemies of MAGA???
Cortes is going to discover how many Trump supporters want Steve’s whiteboard to be inserted you know where. Just like we did with pasty faced Karl Rove.
DeSantis is doing this to get paid as well. He is a lawyer who has never really practiced his trade – exactly what we do not need anywhere near the executive branch. I hope Ramaswamy hitches on to the Trump Train so we can focus back on economics.
DeSantis DID ” practice HIS TRADE ” —> INTEL / JAG DOD…
WHY DID Gene Hackman Keep Getting Roles ABOUT … ?
The Package
Enemy of The State
Why? Why did he keep getting those roles?
Didn’t ‘ol Ronny work as a fixer for the US Government in Gitmo? He’s definitely practiced his trade – for the Deep State
Bannon’s BBF-wonder what old Stevie has to say
Read thread above.
I did
Cortes was accurate in that tweet…he will help Trump win a third time
Ha ha. He’ll be locked out of the Trump Administration but maybe Team MAGA can send him a sympathy card and a brochure on “Where To Retire After Burning Your Reputation To The Ground”.
That Team DeSantis montage looks like a Most Wanted poster.
Which Face Camp face is Ron using today?
It is interesting the look they have. I run a business and whenever I have come across investors or industry players that have this appearance they have always ended up being the same. Pompous, arrogant, and self serving. Every… single… time. In my industry they make up a healthy majority of one of the ancillary verticals and everyone knows to steer clear of them.
The older you get the more in-tune you become to the “vibe” folks give off.
Judging by their choice of smokes my guess is they are huge fans of Bud Light.
I’m so with you on your vibe comment and that it takes some living to get it find tuned!
President Trump had very few choices of people to pick from in his fist administration (few MAG A and hands tied by Mitch — and maybe a bit of pushing from son-in-law and daughter).
But when he can pick I think his years of working with so many kinds of people served him well. His building and maintaining of “real stuff” and not just manipulating money (like Wall St does) put him in many kinds of situations. He obviously knows how to make good decisions when suitable choices are available and when “experts” aren’t lying to him.
Cortes does have the bloated “Estrogen Beer” look…
For grifters like Cortes, this is a bonanza. Get money from DeSantis, and then after PDJT gets the nomination weasel your way back in to Trump.
It’s going to be super funny as Cortes has to take back nearly everything he had said, e.g. TPP.
Funny thing about MAGA is that we (even up here in Canada (chinada) no longer tolerate Trump traitors…..there will be no coming back for Cortez!
After Trump’s nomination, this Cortez dude will start acting supportive, but VSGPDJT will have no place for him in his new administration. It will be loyalists only and absolutely no one recommended by the RNC.
Governor Ron in 2024 ~ Not ready for Prime Time
For those asking about Steve Bannon…
Steve Cortes’ Nesweek article was published at 1oam today. While I was watching the War Room, around 10:50am, Steve Bannon pointed out the article and, more specifically, his reaction to it on GETTR he posted minutes before. Bannon did not appear amused and simply said something like “oh well, we all have a right to free speech”. My guess is Cortes may not be on War Room as much. I noticed Tyrmand’s appearances on War Room dwindled to nothing after his true colors bled to the surface.
Interestingly, Bannon’s response on GETTR is the same thing in Karli Bonne’s Tweet above, “Thirty Pieces of Silver…”. I’m guessing Bonne saw Bannon’s response and agreed as Bannon posted it at 10:48am and Bonne an hour later.

GLAD That i DID NOT JOIN CORTES ‘s LOBBY INITIATIVE
League of American Workers
https://stevecortes.substack.com/p/who-truly-advocates-for-workers
Also, if you noticed, SB always talks about RDS in this way -“he is doing a great job in Florida and should stay there”
A sentiment I can live with.
Very disappointed in Cortez. Guess he won’t be on Bannon War Room anymore.
In a fair election scenario prior to the new normal, DeSantis globalist group wouldnt even waste their time and money. There simply is no possible path to win. Cortez used to give real examples of how the 2020 election was stolen. He knows branden didnt win. So yeah pundits are just being paid off.
Havent you noticed ever since the new normal (fake pandemic) the efforts to manipulate the mob (electorate) through the media look sloppy and ridiculous? They dont seem to try as hard as they used to and I assume its because they know a large number of us already know the games they play and are sick of it (hence DJT 2016). These efforts (pretending) used to have a lot more success prior to 2016. The fraud cabal doesnt care. They intend on forcing their will upon us regardless of what we want.
This is the part I cant let go. Its not about politics anymore. The situation is much worse then most can fathom.
“I dont need you to get me elected”
On the money as usual MP.
I just can’t understand how stupid these people are. Do they not realize if the goals of the globalists come to fruition, all the money they sold their souls for will be worthless. Who ever is in charge will dispense of them in quick order for being snakes, and the world as we know it will be pure chaos. And they are happy to do so in order to get a paycheck that in all likelihood will have no value in the very near future.
This is just mind boggling to me.
The other thing I do not understand is, are these people so terrible at life that they can’t make money if main street ends up thriving? America being successful for all lifts ALL boats instead of the very few selfish misers. I just don’t get these people’s thinking. It makes no sense. There will be a ton of money making opportunities if more Americans are successful.
Some of them do it to get women (this is just pathetic in my view), others for money, and others just to be cool. And in the end they are going to rot for eternity in a place we can’t even fathom. It’s just disgusting.
The daughter Kingley Cortes probably comes along too. They both have good media appeal and daughter is Gen-Z, which is a good demo to try to recruit. Steve Cortes recently launched the League of American Workers and is really into blue-collar economics. Will DeSantis try to out-MAGA Trump in the primary? If all the PAC money is spent on MAGA-nomics, that will be good for GOP and America.
she posted (shortly after the article came out) a pic of her and DJT and “MAGA”…family dinners are going to be fun….
Good to know about his daughter and org.
Certainly a no to trying to out MAGA PDJT.
Those that sold out Reagan after his departure posed with his policies too, only to scuttle them, their lies didn’t help us.
Never cared for Cortes from the get go…
May he enjoy his fall from stardom.
Steve Cortes has been getting the side-eye from me ever since his good friend Matthew Tyrmand blind sided Jame O’Keefe. Turns out – You are the company you keep. Here’s hoping Karma is swift and thorough.
I wish that I could find that video. It was very illuminating.
Do you mean this one w Florida’s Voice? (Sundance talked about it in a prior post some time back.)

Yes. Thank you. I remember Sundance posting it but it was a while ago.
Turncoat, Judas, 30 pieces of silver! Ring a bell? Steve Bannon has had him on WarRoom numerous times, but he better stop having him now! And I think Sundance wrote something on this a while back if I’m not mistaken.
From an outsiders perspective – Political consultants are the scummy of the scummiest. Does not matter which side they are on. Soul-less black holes of humans.
Glad I don’t have to interact with these haggis bags. I would have to carry a towel so I could wipe my hands after shaking their limp wristed, slime covered, appendage.
But, our leaders keep using them. All that money you give – ya, it goes in these guys pockets.
It ain’t gonna change until we start finding these guys hanging from bridges.
That will be when the ones still walking around rediscover character.
Politics is just so Fn sleazy. All these bastards are fully aware that our country is burning down around us and they are completely ok with this sort of behavior. They are careening toward their own “ Let them eat cake moment……”
When’s Charlie Kirk going to quit pretending?
ugh – turned off that soy boy wimp when he started getting all corporate and wearing his big boy suit and tie –
turned him off after he bailed on kari…
For me after his TPUSA coming out party for RdS in AZ, hoping to scrape some MAGA cred off Kari.
I stopped trusting Cortes after he went on Warroom during the Ohio primaries and used Dem talking points to trash Josh Mandel. Cortes thought it was just fine to trash a Republican military veteran just to get his man JD Vance across the finish line. And Bannon just sat there and let him do it and I don’t think Josh ever appeared on Warroom again, so he never even got a chance to defend himself. Made me absolutely sick at the time.
Go back to yesterday’s threads and read the Baris poll results. Twenty percent of the base will vote only for Trump. He will either be the nominee or he will be a write-in if somehow he is eliminated. Twenty percent is the minimum, it’s likely higher (as some commented). RDS will not be president. All these Pence-types will be richer, no doubt, but they will be forever tainted and possessing no political future.
Edit: I am a proud 20%’r.
Trump or Bust.
I received a glossy 4 page flyer from them in the mail today. Total waste of their money. It’s in the shredding bin, not read. I did notice their cute little logo with the R in Never above the D in Down, both in a different color than the other letters.
I wonder if a sixth grader did that.
So very clever. 🙄
What’s the net result of this?
Doesn’t hurt our favorite President in any way.
It just exposes another sell out. Team DeSantis is going down just like Team “Jebra!” did.
“There is still no indication how the DeSantis handlers are going to navigate the reality that once they make their official campaign announcement it will be transparent to everyone that Ron DeSantis was lying about his intentions during his reelection pretense. ”
They had hoped that Trump would have already been forced out by the various scam indictments. This way they could say there was a sudden vaccum that only RDS could fill. Perhaps they will say that Trumps indictments have made RDS re-evaluate his own plans. People will probably wont even realize the obvious setup and preplanning. Occams razor tells me that RDS might have been a party to all the indictments etc. as he is the one who benefits. All that preplanning to run probably depended on Trump being disqualified from running.
maybe we are in for more surprising attacks on President Trump considering all the investments and best laid plans based on Trump not being in it.
Amazing what great actors these political guys are.
Cortes had me fooled- I thought he really supported our President Trump.
I am starting to think that RDS has gone over to the Dark Side.
By causing this huge rift and division in the GOP he is insuring that the DemoCommies are going to win. WTF is wrong with him??
Who gives them their scripts? I would guess its the CFR, since if you go their website cfr.org and look under “Congressional programming” you can guess that they go much further with their marching orders, that they do not reveal on their website
RDS sold his soul to the DS a long time ago. Lin Wood has been pointing out his shady background for months.
Someone, somewhere is missing a plank.
This is what is wrong with him:
Going to be interesting to see what Bannon does with Cortes now. Matthew Tyrmand was on his show all the time until it was found out he went after O’Keefe then he was never seen again on his show.
I doubt he will have Cortes back. Bannon put up a post on Gettr with the headline 30 pieces of silver….then Cortes’s newsweek article backing DeSantis. That says it all! I am not on gettr but can read….
The easiest tell of anyone’s agenda in these times is if they are given a platform on MSM. Cortes was a “Stop the Steal” Trump’er who was still a guest on CNN, MSNBC and the other alphabet media, writing for the MSM rags continuously since 2020. Never censored. Never deplatformed. Never had his character assassinated. Which can only mean that: He was one of them. Playing a role: Trump-MAGA Whisperer. Just waiting to be turned, revealed, in a predetermined, orchestrated moment.
DS is trying to slice, dice, whittle away little slivers of MAGA they believe will follow their many plants. It’s a version of the 80-20 rule. The biggest effect, the largest portion of a population, 80% is realized with the investment of 20% of the effort and resources. The remaining 20% to be effected, portion of a population will consume 80% of the effort and resources to achieve success. Every percent requires more and more effort and resources than the percent before it. The Law of Diminishing Returns. Until it becomes a mop-up operation.
20% is too great a number for the DS to face down with brutal police-state mop-up operations. There’s no public support for violence and detention of that large a percentage of the population. Get that 20% down to 5%, where 95% has already been brought over, that’s when life becomes truly perilous for the remaining 5%.
That’s what this is an example of. Cortes, those before him, those after him, are attempts to whittle down a percent here, a percent there off of MAGA.
There are still sleepers out there to be turned in due time. You’ll typically find them on MSM in some capacity, talking a good game of MAGA. Though you might even find some who are, to date, only found on alt-media, no rule is hard and fast. But this is the strategy of the DS.
Yet another political whore outs himself. Bringing slime like this slithering out from under the rocks where they’ve been hiding will go down as one of Our President’s greatest achievements -among too many to mention….
Just an observation…..anyone else notice all the Race Horse art and pictures in Cortes home when he was on Warroom??
A VERY EXPENSIVE hobby……..
Yes, I noticed and wondered if he had a horse or a share of a race horse..
Damn… War Room
The number of people who have spit in our faces to enhance their wallets is astounding. Uniparty scumbags are worse than the Democrats.
I knew there was something off about Cortes a while back (hubris) which is why I unfollowed him. I have since deactivated my GETTR the only one worth following was Steve Bannon. But I digress……
Same with me on Cortez. Never liked him from the start. I could never figure out why Cortez had that weird red
picture background when he was on War Room? It looked fake to me.
We’ll see what we will see
So the $ came in without limits via a State no regulations PAC?
To use the $ on the fed level it needs to get transferred to a new PAC, one that will follow fed donor cap regs from here on out?
Is that ok, seems so because it’s been done before and nobody could come to a decision yea or nay, so nothing happened?
Can the $ further be transferred to Trump should DeS drop out?
Does T even want such donations?
Sundance has suggested that RdS sycophants will work tirelessly for him, until the money runs out.
If any is left over after Meatball is a smoking hole in the ground they’ll find another grift, it won’t be MAGA.
Our country is in terrible shape – *banana republic* – We all know it and acknowledge it. I would have thought Cortes recognized this and would continue his journey with PDJ and be part of the effort to #MAGA. WEASLE!!
It is something small:
I read Twitter only because of the Last Refuge. I follow a few others.
Just unfollowed Cortes.
One grain of sand at a time. It is like a sand clock ticking down.
