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?…

Grifters are prone to grift.
Psalm 109 comes to mind.
The text, for your convenience: (KJV)
109 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
May we all right now remember that, even many thousands of years ago, the perpetrators of Evil were swearing allegiance to their Lord Satan.
But, let us also remember that Our LORD remains sovereign above them all. Although He has said that “My ways are not your ways, and My thoughts are not your thoughts,” His eye rests even upon “the sparrow.” His eye also rests upon you, and upon your Nation as well as others.
It has certainly not escaped His attention that there are many now among us who would set “one of His Nations against the other,” for nothing more than their momentary gain. He has certainly seen such things before.
Know that He has not abandoned you. He did not establish this nation upon this Earth to see it dashed to ruin by the likes of Karl Marx or Barak Obama or any of the other people who devised – even now – to usurp its governance for their own gain. He also did not devise “War, should it come,” to be “nothing more than a business contract.”
I give you another Psalm, #37:
Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.
3 Trust in the Lord and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
4 Take delight in the Lord,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the Lord;
trust in him and he will do this:
6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
7 Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
9 For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land.
10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;
though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy peace and prosperity.
12 The wicked plot against the righteous
and gnash their teeth at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for he knows their day is coming.
14 The wicked draw the sword
and bend the bow
to bring down the poor and needy,
to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,
and their bows will be broken.
16 Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,
but the Lord upholds the righteous.
18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,
and their inheritance will endure forever.
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
20 But the wicked will perish:
Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.
21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
but the righteous give generously;
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
but those he curses will be destroyed.
23 The Lord makes firm the steps
of the one who delights in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,
for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
25 I was young and now I am old,
yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken
or their children begging bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;
their children will be a blessing.
27 Turn from evil and do good;
then you will dwell in the land forever.
28 For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.
Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed;
the offspring of the wicked will perish.
29 The righteous will inherit the land
and dwell in it forever.
30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,
and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;
their feet do not slip.
32 The wicked lie in wait for the righteous,
intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
or let them be condemned when brought to trial.
34 Hope in the Lord
and keep his way.
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
when the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
flourishing like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
though I looked for him, he could not be found.
37 Consider the blameless, observe the upright;
a future awaits those who seek peace.
38 But all sinners will be destroyed;
there will be no future for the wicked.
39 The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.
I now pray to my LORD – not in private, but in public. I prostrate myself before Him. Join with me.
“Oh LORD, it now seems good to You to expose Your pathetic enemy’s devisings in public, in such a way that all the World may clearly see them, and so that none of them can pretend that they do not see. (Even if they do not yet know You, but “who am I to say.”) Oh LORD, I pant with eager breath for the moment when You shall show them decisively that You alone are LORD.”
“I also eagerly await your demonstration that You are governor upon all the Earth, and that You have established many nations among Your people. Our enemies seek to place one against the other in order to dash all of them against the rocks and thus destroy them all. But You, alone sovereign, are LORD. You clearly perceive their plans and shall wreck them. You shall deliver not just this one nation, by the mere stroke of Your almighty hand, but many.”
“Oh LORD, I now pray for patience, because my eyes cannot see the future, and because the tenure that You have appointed for me in this place is very brief. Yet I very selfishly pray that you would now allow me, in the remaining time that You have appointed for me, to see at least the beginnings of Your vengeance.“
“And may You forgive me – that I would pray to see Your Vengeance.“
“For this is Your Nation, and I am living here. I know that You founded it, and that it is distinct upon the many. I grieve now to see it – as it were – “committing suicide,” and I know that none of this is Your doing. And I trust that You will never allow it to be.”
“Oh LORD, allow me, within my remaining time, to at least begin to see Your mighty hand, brushing aside my nation’s enemies (as well as those of other nations whom they equally oppose), and to re-establish that Truth and Justice are Your Ways. It is only because my poor eyes are blind that I implore you not to tarry.”
Amen.
Amen. The Lord is sovereign over history. Our hope is not in men, because the victory will be His! All men will know, and see. Every knee shall bow before Him.
I know that “the darkest hour is just before the dawn.” Yet I now tear myself awake each night, looking out the bedroom window (which is East-facing and has no lights), looking for the very first indications of dawn. I cling to the pillows and I pray for my nation. My LORD gently ushers me back to sleep.
I found this message helpful. Thank you for posting the Word of God here.
““For this is Your Nation, ….tarry” Now would it surprise you that this is precisely the kind of prayer that Moses “begged” the Creator when he (Moses) returning with the word of God, found the people, yep, the same people, who not long ago had PERSONALLY witnessed the parting of the Red Sea, water from the rock, etc, – boom, they fall back into their old (Egyptian) idolatry, lusts and desires.. Unbeknown to them Moses is poring his guts out, because the Creator is so furious He has already issued the decree for their destruction. It is only by the won’t take no for an answer prayers of begging and calls for mercy does the Creator issue a “stay”. This I am certain the angles will deliver – as are all prayers spoken in truth.
I implore now that the Creator will not react with vengeance upon our sins, because the vast majority of the 332+ million of us in this case “are not sinners.”
And I very clearly know that He will not. The LORD looks clearly into the desires of every man’s innermost heart. Therefore, he clearly knows Satan’s plans. He has, shall we say, “the ultimate ‘security clearance.'”
Amen.
+1 Mike. +1
It’s a shame that so many are tempted by mere coins; days like these are intentional to make men weak and surrender their principles when they need to do the opposite.
Orange Man America…works FOC.
“Elegantly and wisely said,” King … Let us all remember these words in the days to come.
They probably have something on him. Sexton, Cortese and Tyrmand are the DeSantis “influencers.” Do they think we’re on Tic Toc?
Tyrmand was indeed the force behind getting rid of O’Keefe from Project Veritas. To throw your lot in with Tyrmand says a lot about Cortes’ character. Or lack therof. Good riddance Putz!
“I can confirm that Rat Tyrmand has been personally blacklisting and smearing me for years, after previously trying to get me to give him control of one of my projects. I said of course not because he is a scummy and despicable little man”
“People think I’m just picking on Ratt Turdmand for clicks. No. I can’t stay silent and not expose the MALICIOUS INTENT he has in his heart for myself, my friends, my mentors, and JamesOKeefeIII, the guy he coup’d under false pretenses of fiduciary duty.”

Here is Meatball Lover Steve’s article from Newsweek telling us how awesome Meatball is. It is disgusting.
https://www.newsweek.com/ron-desantis-president-opinion-1798976
READ THIS DRIVEL. Steve makes it sound like Meatball is the only reason that RDS won. He was LOSING until Trump endorsed him. He only won again because people thought that he was MAGA.
“In addition, DeSantis proved the appeal of competent governance combined with the fighting spirit of patriotic populism. The governor’s landslide win included tectonic shifts of constituencies that Republicans previously struggled to convince. For example, after losing urban, diverse Miami-Dade County in 2018 by 21 percent, in 2022 DeSantis prevailed in the Miami area by 10 percent, an amazing swing of 31 percentage points in just one term in office.
That kind of win provides the exact model the GOP needs for 2024 on the national level. DeSantis’ soaring 2022 success was fueled by persuading women, Hispanics, suburban voters, and independents.”
One of the good things about Trump is that he’s been through this before, many years ago, when he lost everything and had to rebuild.
He said he was shocked to learn who his true friends were. People he trusted ultimately betrayed him when he needed them most; and others he never thought were real friends stuck by him. He said it was a good lesson. It is.
And, it does help to have been through this type of betrayal before. Over the years, we grow in wisdom and experience.
He’s collapsing with independents and already boring in many forums I lurk in. Most independents and democrats already know he’s a Bushevik.
The dossier democrats have on Romney 2.0, is better then the one they had on 2008. Faux needs a horse-race to keep ratings up. NeverBack Ron is Jobama 4.0. for the newgen grifters.
Am I right in my memory that Steve Cortes was one of the Main PERPS that got himelf on the Board of Project Veritas in order to DESTROY IT and try to take JAMES O’KEEFE III down with it, last year???
Always SWEET to see such a character when they begin to Reap their Bumper Crop HARVESTS – to the Ultimate MAX !!!
Matthew 25, 31-46.
You’re thinking of Mathew Tyrmand, Steve’s buddy.
I haven’t seen the Steve Bannon haters on here lately. Did they call it quits after PDJT had a excellent interview with him the other day?
again no shoes hrc…BG…
I’m not a hater, but i am not a fan.
I will never forget how steve bannon attempted to coopt the MAGA movement away from Trump.
That is Bannon’s main mission in life. To thwart President Trump.
Bannons interview with President Trump was terrible, Bannon was visibly fighting Trump over policy the entire time. I couldn’t watch it. Bannon is not our President. Donald Trump is our President.
Honestly, this one surprised me. Very disappointed. Was wondering why Bannon has been even more grumpy than usual. I think I now know the answer. The way Cortes dressed should have given me a clue.
Hahaha yes, Cortes’ stays dressed to the nines..
He sees designer threads with the big money PAC job..how superficial and plastic of him..
Steve Cortes, what a fake
Hahaha…how blatant can a politician get in his endless grifting? Wonder what DeSantis’s wife thinks of all this….
She thinks she’s gonna be First Lady.
Hopefully, Melania will take that role next.
Dirtbags.
Sundance thank you for calling my nerves with that first paragraph. Seriously, thank you.
I haven’t read all the comments yet but I just have to say I hope Steve Bannon never has Cortes on his show ever again. And I can’t wait to hear what Steve says about this..
Folks…it’s clear for all to see.
The mission in Bragg conviction, Carroll’s judgment, the Georgia election meddling trial is to smear Trump to make him appear as an rich amoral scoundrel who will do anything to get what he wants while totally ignoring the law. That sets the stage for Jack Smith spec counsel bringing unknown charges to Washington DC Grand Jury with ultimate “Seditious Conspiracy” charges. The stage has been set with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy convictions that Smith can now weave a false narrative that they were operating as Trump’s “co conspirators”. Washington DC jury will convict Trump. That is the final coup d’tat that will prevent Trump from being President. It’s all there for all to see.
Pray for our country and pray for wisdom as we are soon faced with serious decisions to make.
One of the points in the newest meme video from WatchMAGA” (on rumble) was that one of the defendants was somewhere else (in jail) on 1/6.
A conviction, if it were to happen, whether for seditious conspiracy or stealing lunch money would not remove President Trump as a candidate. Constitutionally one can run for the presidency from jail or house arrest. It’s been done before.
President Trump has made it clear he will stay in the race no matter what.
More basic than that, its valuable I think to ask; WHAT additional advantage do they get, from incarceration, that they don’t get from indictment?
Especially given all of the challenges of incarcerating a former POTUS?
Now, I CAN see them indicting for “sedition” b.s., and therefore a,”gag” order, prohibiting PDJT from saying ANYTHING about the 2020 election “steal”, the court case, etc.
But I think they don’t want a conviction, and the goal is to provide an excuse for the RNC to deny him the nomination, if despite their efforts he gets “too many” delegates.
I just do not see ANY way the RNC gives him the nomination, however while the DNC made it clear to their base that Primaries are just “opinion polls” and not binding on the DNC, the RNC has continued to pretend they were neutral until there was a nominee.
It would be nice to see this charade dropped, as its always been a ruse.
If the RNC denies the nomination, then I hope they do it sooner than later.
An independent run requires signature collection in most states which would be a massive 50 state effort. The Convention is in July 2024. So a few months to make it happen.
Am wondering whether there is a way for us to do the signature prep work in advance as plan B —without President Trump’s involvement so as to steer clear of breaking RNC candidate rules? Would feel more secure if we had that all 50 state signature requirements in place in advance.
I’m more surprised that your thoughts are about “I hope they do it sooner…” like getting the next person is the most important thing!? I guess you were also fine that our FBI raided a former Pres home, Russia collusion, spying, Impeachment 1/2, cheating on 2020, 2022, indicting him over EVERY thing, etc… If the RNC kept Pres Trump from the nomination you’d really see trouble across the nation like we’ve never seen.
Go back and study constitutional law.
A felon can be in the White House; which President Trump is not.
However, the appeals won’t even be settled and he’ll be in the Oval Office.
You sound like an influencer who’s trying to set the narrative the way you want it to be.
Then, you do what all anti Trumpers do…but you wait until the end as you pretend you want Trump back in office.
Most influencers try to be pro Trump at the beginning before they begin bashing him.
Could you take your negativity and find another home? Nobody wants to hear it.
What a total phony with his “chalk talk.” Bannon, I can’t believe you were fooled!
Tyrmand fooled him too.
Tyrmand fooled me too!!!
These people won’t stop until they kill Trump.
Civil war if that should happen. Their desperation may have no boundaries should it look like Trump may win the Presidency. Hope his security is more than top notch.
Civil War didn’t happen when 60 million babies were killed and an election was stolen (while the theft getting taped). It doesn’t happen when millions of illegals pour in and Americans get jailed for speech.
But you people will never stop your internet tought guy fantasies about secession and war. If this ever happened, the people who can’t stop filthy woke ballot harvesters would lose an armed conflict, for there’s a difference bewteen a mob with guns (largely over 60) and an organized army with logistics, intel and leadership, all which is completely lacking on the Right.
There are two kinds of men that long for armed conflict;
Those that have never experienced armed conflict,
,…and those that have, and learned that they have a taste for it.
Pray for both, the idiots and the cursed.
I’m reminding myself that hindsight is always 20/20. Still, just as we landed hard on PDJT for some obviously poor choices, I’ll do the same here and slam Bannon for “lovin’ up” (as SB is fond of saying) on Cortes as he did for far too long on his streaming show. Which, btw, gave Croctes a huge platform from which he could stay relevant and negotiate his 30 pieces of silver to join DePantsless. Pathetic. Truly pathetic on all fronts.
Bannon actually used the term “rubbin’ up on”. Bannon must be going crazy now. First Tyrmand, now Cortes. But Bannon is all about the Benjamins, too, as he has supposedly knowledgeable “contributors” on his show who are actually sponsors of his show.
To be fair to Bannon, Lefty activists ran off all his advertisers. Over the last 12 months it’s only recently that I have seen any commercials at all….and they’re all from Roku so I’m sure Lefty azzholes are just behind on their ‘to destroy’ list. So Bannon is now running a political analysis/informercial show. Fascists don’t play.
In truth, even hindsight is only 50/50
“hindsight is the first thing you see, when you jerk your head out of your *ss.”-dutchman
Can’t blame Bannon. People present themselves and Cortes was in Trump admin. Cortes said he was with Trump for 2024. Cortes changed, not Bannon.
Somehow, I can’t believe Bannon didn’t know this was coming from Cortes. He doesn’t seem like he wouldn’t have all the info long ago about Cortes and Tyrmand. When pictures came out with Cortes cozying up to Tyrmand cutting the PV blow up, the handwriting was pretty evident on that wall. Bannon surely didn’t just ignore all that. What is SB’s game plan here I wonder?
In the past 6 months Bannon did severely question Cortes loyalty after Cortes let something slip. Cortes managed to defend himself, but it was interesting.
This brings to mind an appropriate Bible verse:
“A good name is to be more desired than great wealth;
Favor is better than silver and gold.”
Proverbs 22:1
Obviously, a lot of people believe otherwise.
The Word of God says they are wrong.
How long will it take political weasels such as this to attempt to gain the favor of Trump if indeed he wins?
Not long….
Trump sees through them, he’s dealt with people wanting something from him all of his life.
Is there NO ONE willing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Trump for the long haul and not sell-out? Is there NO ONE that he can trust? Every time we turn around ANOTHER succumbs to the almighty $$$. Just like we all thought DeSantis was the NEXT one! I swear…I’m just waiting for the news that Trump himself has sold out as well.
Methinks you’ll wait a long, long time.
Peter Navarro and Ric Grennel come to mind as loyal people that have stood shoulder to shoulder with President Trump. Peter Navarro has gone through the crucible by being loyal to President Trump.
And Stephen Miller. And Devin Nunes. There are more.
I know of one, who recently publically revealed they had been invited to “write their own ticket” if they would betray MAGA.
For every Manafort, there are 100 or perhaps 1000 Cohens.
The road of honor is invariably the road less traveled.
After all, if it was EASY, EVERYBODY would be honorable.
Kash Patel.
Stephen Miller is not doing his job well. Trump’s speeches need to fit TRUMP better, not the words of Stephen Miller.
That would never happen in this life or the next, you can take that to the bank.
I’m still trying to digest this. Cortes? If it’s money that is driving him – how much does he need? Apparently he has gobs – always posting pics of himself working out, at fancy parties, what he was grilling – never from the value menu. And last time I heard him – he was praising Trump – only guy who can turn this madhouse around, he would say. Hope it’s worth it, Cortes. What a day for Trump to hear this after that ridiculous verdict.
Cortes being a big spender means he is more likely to betray MAGA.
I’m thinking about switching sides. Team Desantis, listen up. Hire me, and I will post the most incredible pro DeSantis posts here on the Treehouse everyday until the election, or until Sundance gives me the boot. Here’s my terms. I will do at least five a day, and they will be so well worded that nobody will know I’ve gone mercenary. I want 15K per post. And I’m going to need the first month up front. If you want me to trash that bastard Trump, my rate doubles. It will be better value than whatever you’re paying Cortes. In the scheme of things, that’s pretty cheap. So talk to Big Ken, and let’s get this done
😂🤣
Do you still post over at theburningplatform.com?
Not as much. I love those folks, and Jim is a champ. I still read over there everyday though.
Getting paid to be on the losing team,kinda like the Washington Generals, of Harlem Globe Trotter fame.
When Trump wins, do forgive them?
Forgiveness is not the issue here. This country’s survival is.
No forgiveness. They are trying to destroy the American Middle Class.
How soon before Cortes is on FOX? Turncoat, rat bastard
What a gaggle of rotting demons.
Nasty, stinkin’ backstabbing sons of hell!
They will find that the grass isnt greener on the other side. In fact its brown and dead.
Sundance always said that the truth will come out — we will learn the true nature of people’s character. I will say that I believed that Cortes was a Trump man having been through two presidential campaigns with him — so this was a shock. Now I know who Cortes is — and I never care to ever see his face again. My hope is that he will never again be invited on Bannon’s show. Let his performance for DeSantis be his swan song — and a losing song at that, and let this be the last of his big money. We now know who and what he is.
Florida is being grossly overdeveloped by the big builders. Property values have soared. The after effects will be coming at a later date. Both of our senators are establishment RINOs. As a Floridian I’m busy informing my fellow residents of his backers that will own him on the national level. Obviously he’s been led to believe he’s a lion killer if he runs for president. In one word he’s a TRAITOR.
I simply expected that Ron DeSantis would have the political experience by now to realize that he is very simply being used as a spoiler. Not a single person who is now manipulating him in their political hand of cards intends for him to be anything other than “the Joker.” To the extent that they intend to allow the “2024 ‘election'” to be anything other than “a battle of the printing presses,” which is already very doubtful.
Did Cortes have anything interesting or important to say on the War Room? I dunno. Because I always hit mute the moment his puss came on the screen. Arrogant bore.
He actually was very good and spot on with a lot of financial advice. He, Bannon, and Peter Navarro were a great threesome when it came to economic news. This ticks me off about Cortes.
BassTurk!!!!!!!! Grifter gonna grift
SPIT
He was only with President Trump when he was getting paid. No loss President Trump needs fighters not grifters. DeSantis thinks exes of President Trump will get him the job but only President Trump can do the JOB.
Grifters gonna grift. I wondered back with the Project Veritas picture with Tyrmand regarding Cortes. I had commented on Gettr to his feed asking about his loyalties. No response. Now I’m wondering how this will be played out on Warroom. Tyrmand disappeared from Warroom.
I thought the exact same thing. Sad he used the Deplorables to gain stature
TUCKER JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW SHOW ON TWITTER!
Already exceeded his FOX nightly news viewers in one hour!
“The REST of the story” is coming out, on that producer that ALLEGEDLY made complaints about TC, remember her?
As I read it, she had a suit AGAINST Fox, in which she alleged FOX had coerced her into committing PERJURY in yhe “Dominion” case, by saying in deposition “I don’t know” when she in fact DID.
So, hence Fox ‘settling’ the case with Dominion, and firing TC, and generating this b.s. about her and TC?
Suborning perjury, and witness tampering are pretty serious charges to try to sweep under the rug!
Interesting choice.
I can’t figure this “Musk” character out. Carlson is not about to let himself be censored… while Musk is beholden to Big Government and Big China. A weird combo, those two…
Remember Trump’s NFT Trading Card series, he should do another set and call it…The Grifter Collection. Make sure the photo/drawing represents their true ‘inner greed and hate’ of America First patriots.
Cool idea!
Thanks Sibyl…I thought it was kind of a goofy idea, but I’m sure they would sell out like his other NFT’s.
I’d say a most-wanted deck of cards like they passed out in Iraq… though I suppose that would NOT go over well… it’d still be funny, though…
I like that idea too 😄 all the people who backstabbed Trump…would be a very large deck of cards.
Why would anybody hitch their wagon to a failing horse? A really bad move on Cortes’ party. TPP Ron will sell us out.
People like Cortes don’t care about the outcome, only the money. It doesn’t matter if DeSantis loses – some other sucker will come along next time and hire Cortes.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Go to Hell asshat.
These political whores are sick.
All three of these guys are traitors and scumbags. Hey Steve, congratulations. You just ruined your daughter’s career, too.
Ron! is being advised by bad people. He will lose tons of support in Florida because many of us voted for a second term of Ron, not Ron!
Scott Walker via Florida.
The rif and the raf are weeding themselves out .. this is great news!
Let ALL of the sellouts declare themselves NOW, far better to have them clearly identified as the enemy outside the gate, than inside, putting an arm on our shoulder, as they brace to stick the knife in our back.
“Please clap”
Excellent!
I like it!
After the initial sickening feeling, I decided just to look at the bright side of this 💩 show. . Donald J. Trump has exposed (without even trying) another stinking swamp rat CONservative, scumbag.
For starters, Cortes does not have a big following in the first place, but now has lost all MAGA support. Cortes has just outed himself as another run of the mill corrupt, consulting cocktail class, gun for hire like that Fox News piece of trash Karl Rove. Whiteboard and Blackboard twins. 🙄🤮
During the Project Veritas, debacle, and the attempt to silence James O’Keefe, I always suspected that Steve Cortes was involved with Matt Turdmand even though he denied it on the War Room. He was a bore during his presentation on the War Room. Now my suspicions have been verified, so be it.
Oh well, it is what it is. No use to get all broken up about losing another establishment GOPe loser. These kind of sellout garbage people is why our country is in the shape we are in. It is best that we find out sooner than later where the true loyalty lies. Therefore, I will stand with MAGA, America First and Donald J. Trump to the very end. Sic Semper Tyrannis.
I worry that Cortes had inside strategy information and that he will convey that to the enemy.
Steve Bannon has serious egg on face.
Yeah sure. Does Trump also have egg on his face from all the backstabbers? Nice try.
Bannon doesn’t…A show host is going to have all kinds of various guests and co-hosts. I’m sure this blindsided Bannon. I watch his show daily and he doesn’t agree with everyone on the show and it IS good to have diversity as that is what makes your thinking stronger.
see what happens when you wave $$$$ in front of them. Cortez you are finished
I have been unable to watch Cortes for two months now, and it has only gotten worse the past two weeks or so. I didn’t have a rational reason for it, but the Spirit doesn’t lie. Even his face has been changing.
Up until now, he was on the DeSanctus Campaign-Not-Campaign Campaign as an advisor… as of a couple months ago, at least. So this move is not entirely surprising, I suppose.
DeSatan is the Brian Kemp of Florida.
Brian Kemp is a terrible Governor. Georgians, fix your elections.
Guess he won’t be on Warroom anymore! Steve took short term gain over long term, STUPID!
Yeahbut that was probably one HELLUVA short term gain. The DeSanctus Sugar Daddies must have viewed him as a “big get”… former Trump ally, “MAGA credentials”, and the like, not to mention the experience. So Cortes probably got a really juicy contract, massive up-front “signing bonus”, etc. A lot of people are going to get very rich over in DeSanctus Land… OINK!! OINK!!
Wonder if Cortes will ever appear on War Room again?
my thoughts…
Never liked Cortes… he just did not sound genuine…Hope to NEVER hear him on War Room again.. Hurrah President Trump!
MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cortes last week was gushing over Hispanic-American athletes on his Twitter site, and I told him to knock it off the identity politics.
Not sure he read my blast lol
Well, they certainly have been hitting the target in mass shootings lately!
Another “White Hispanic” like Zimmerman, obviously.
Funny how these”Mass Shootings”always co-inside with a push for more ILLEGAL GUN CONTROL.Our very own”Little johnny Howard”(Australias then prime minister)did the same thing after OUR very first”Mass Shooting”event in Port Arthur Tasmania on 28 April 1996.Very convenient for our little johnny howard,who was having a great deal of trouble convincing we the people that we should give up our guns(for our own safety you understand)Thanks to him,the UN was granted their wish for us to be dis-armed(for our safety you understand)
I might point out that a similar thing happened in New Zealand when they had THEIR FIRST and ONLY”Mass Shooting”Which helped mizz adern to bring in laws banning ALL guns from the population.
Funny how these things happen to help these Governments to pass laws which have proven difficult to get voted on in THEIR favor in the past,don’t you think?
