As the geography narrows before us, it is important to remember the stakes and avoid the distractions. As a consequence, the baseline must be reaffirmed. It is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government.
It is a difficult shift in thinking, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two distinct private corporations – two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control.
The priority for both clubs, Republican and Democrat, is NOT politically or culturally ideological. In the modern era, the corporate priority first begins with a battle over who controls each corporation.
As long as there is no challenge, the clubs operate without issue. However, when there is a battle for control of the corporation, a battle that will ultimately determine the financial outcome, the internal battle becomes the priority.
2024 is going to be the election season when we see this corporate battle explode inside in the Republican group. Decades of entrenched power are at stake, and there has been four years of counter positioning and backroom discussion leading up to this moment.
As a consequence, and I know this might sound odd to many people – but winning and/or losing elections becomes a secondary issue. The RNC is not focused on winning elections. The RNC corporation is focused on retaining control.
The RNC want to give the illusion of support for MAGA conservatism because they need the base voter, and they need to maintain the illusion of choice. However, every move they make on an operational level is exactly in line with their previous outlook toward cocktail class republicanism. The MAGA base of support cannot trust this corporate group, and we must not be blind or unguarded about the Machiavellian schemes they construct.
When you hear the influence group saying the two priorities for control of the Republican Club involve, (1) eliminating populism in the ranks; and (2) realigning with multinational corporate objectives (vis a vis Wall Street), what they are publicly expressing is their RNC corporate need to get rid of the America First economic agenda – to get rid of the MAGA influence.
How has this historically surfaced?
At a national level there is a unique policy priority that almost every politician, on both sides, will avoid discussing.
At a national level a single policy priority determines all other national policy outlooks. That policy is the national economic policy.
The national economic policy of a presidential candidate determines all other policies that flow from the presidential candidate. The national economic policy impacts the obvious policies like energy and trade, and also determines the lesser obvious policies like regulation and even foreign policy.
It is specifically because a candidate’s national economic outlook impacts all other issues, that most federal candidates and politicians never talk about it.
It would be impossible to support Main Street USA, a popular talking point, and still support the Paris Climate Treaty, the Transpacific Trade Partnership (TPP) or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
To avoid the contradictions, most Democrat and Republican politicians avoid discussing their national economic policy. It is an unspoken rule within the billionaire club and donor game – an economic code of omerta amid most political candidates.
President Trump broke the rule and even went so far as to campaign on an America First economic policy agenda. That core outlook forms the Make America Great Again foundation. MAGA is based on a national economic policy outlook that determines every other national policy as carried by President Trump.
While most Americans may not be able to articulate how the national economic policy impacts them, almost every American feels the consequences through gasoline prices, energy prices, employment, wage rates and the expenses within their everyday lives. To try and hide this reality, often media and economic analysts will say the U.S. President has no control over gasoline prices; however, this is unequivocally false.
Yes, it is true that oil prices are determined by the global market for the product – the supply and the demand. However, the energy policy of the president determines the domestic investment in natural resource development and extraction by oil companies. The energy policy determines domestic supply. The regulatory policy determines the expansion, or lack therein, of oil and gasoline refinery capacity. So yes, it is ultimately the U.S President who determines gasoline prices indirectly through energy and regulatory policy.
If this were not the case, then gasoline would cost nearly the same in almost every nation. It doesn’t. Right now, gasoline in Mexico is almost $1 less than gasoline in the United States, specifically because Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador is not trying to reduce oil resource investment, development and/or gasoline refinery capacity.
President Trump was the first presidential candidate who campaigned on a domestic national economic policy. He even went one step further and stated the T-word, tariffs. Yes, the commerce department holds tools to support a national economic policy.
The tariff tool is another aspect to national economics that most politicians avoid discussing because the toolbox is counter to the interests of Wall Street, multinational corporations and hedge fund managers.
For a reference point, you might remember the apoplectic fits from financial and economic punditry to President Trump’s 2017 and 2018 steel and aluminum tariffs.
Economic security is determined by national economic policy. National security is also an outcome of national economic policy. Again, President Trump was also the first modern president to put that outlook to work when he said, “Economic security is national security,” and then began constructing a foreign policy agenda using the cornerstone of national economic policy. The result was quite remarkable and led to what eventually became the Trump Doctrine.
It was inherently the US national economic policy that underpinned President Trump challenging NATO to meet their financial obligations. It was national economic policy that drove trade policy and created the north American USMCA trade agreement. It was national economic policy that led to countervailing duties on Chinese and European imports. Which had the remarkable effect of actually lowering prices inside the United States.
We began importing deflation through lower priced goods as the value of the dollar increased and China/EU central banks devalued their currency to avoid the impact of tariffs. Asia and the EU also subsidized their export manufacturing with incentives in order to lower costs as an offset to the tariffs, while simultaneously Asian and European companies began investing in production facilities inside the U.S. as a long-term approach to retaining access to the U.S. market. To put it succinctly, this was MAGAnomics at work.
U.S. wages increased, U.S. job growth increased, U.S. energy prices dropped with increased energy development and a massive cut in regulations, and that in turn lowered the cost of domestic goods. Suddenly we were importing goods at lower prices and generating goods internally at lower prices. More MAGAnomic outcomes, which, not coincidentally, was the exact opposite of all Wall Street claims and predictions.
Making America Great Again, was an outcome of national economic policy. At its core, MAGA is a national economic dynamic within a political movement that is represented by President Donald J. Trump.
It is critical to understand the MAGA economic policy is essentially a national policy completely, and uniquely, under the control of the office of the President. The impact to the lives of Americans is a direct outcome from national economic policy. If a president wants to lead an independently wealthy country, he/she applies a very specific economic outlook to all other policy areas including energy, regulation and foreign policy.
It is also true that opposition to President Donald Trump is uniquely connected to the America First economic agenda.
Multimillion-dollar lobbyist firms like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, along with dozens of economically established SuperPACs funded by Wall Street and multinational corporations, are vehemently opposed to the America First economic agenda.
All of the national politicians and political candidates taking money from these aforementioned groups necessarily bind themselves to a position that stands against the America First economic agenda.
In essence, if you take money from the multinationals, you cannot deliver on MAGA economic outcomes for banking, trade, finance etc. And that’s exactly where we run into the problem.
Because MAGA national economic priorities conflict with the multinational corporations, hedge funds and the Wall Street donor class, all of the politicians who accept the influence checks from these self-interested groups cannot run on, or deliver, a MAGA national economic agenda.
At a local, county and state level, you have direct impact on the political policy agenda in your community. Who you elect to the city council, school board, state house and senate as well as governor’s office has an impact on those local and state priorities. However, national economic policy, national energy and trade policy and national foreign policy are not under your control.
As a result, the same skillset, or policy outlook, that makes a governor a successful state politician doesn’t carry into a federal office, [see the example of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker]. Yes, there are some executive and administration skills that carry over; however, on the bigger issue of steering the national policy agenda, almost every candidate for office comes with the baggage of having accepted donor contributions from a class of people who are paying for economic policy influence.
MAGA cannot be purchased. It is a political outlook that seeks only to enhance the best interests of the American people, regardless of consequence for the multinationals or foreign beneficiaries of globalist U.S. economic policy. Unfortunately, as a result, all of the beneficiaries are aligned to make sure the MAGA economic policy outlook is extinguished. There are literally trillions at stake. This reality underpins the opposition to Donald Trump.
When you understand why the national economic outlook of the President is so important, you can also understand why every political candidate is told not to discuss it by the handlers and campaign managers who are essentially selling their candidate to a millionaire and billionaire donor class who do not want an America First economic policy agenda.
There is no easy solution for this problem, and ironically this core economic issue is where you find supporters of both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in alignment.
Where the Sanders and Trump camps split is on the solution. Team Sanders wants the government to play the role of economic referee (regulation), while Team Trump wants the government to change the rules of the economic game (countervailing duties, tariffs etc).
Before Donald Trump entered politics, there was no home for people voting on the issue of a national economic agenda. Both Democrat and Republican candidates had essentially the same worldview on national economic policy because they were all getting money from the same multinational corporate trough. However, President Trump changed that dynamic by presenting an alternative national economic policy called America First.
For decades middle America was begging the McConnell’s, Ryans, Boehners, Romney’s, McCain’s, Bushes, et al, to make America First economic policies their priority. All of our shouts for help fell upon deaf political ears plugged by corporate donations and influence. Our communities were literally collapsing around us (see rust belt), and yet no national politician would do anything of consequence.
By the time Donald Trump arrived, decades of frustration exploded in an eruption of massive applause because he was articulating the central economic issue that was being ignored by the professional political class. The America First agenda is the restoration agenda. From Trump’s national economic policy, the middle class erosion stopped. Economic security, specifically U.S. employment stability and wage rates, goes hand in glove with border security and immigration controls.
MAGAnomics is the core of the great MAGA Republican coalition, a working class coalition that cuts through all other distinctions and divisions. It is not Republican because of political affiliation; it is “MAGA Republican” only because the Republican Party was the political vehicle selected by Donald Trump to install the policy.
This reality creates a problem for the DC professional political class and the corporate media. Because MAGAnomics is the fundamentally binding principle, there is no way to fracture the Trump supporter coalition.
I am a “MAGA Republican” by default of my wanting a national economic agenda that looks out for the economic interests of American’s first.
Donald Trump is the irreplaceable Great MAGA King, because Donald Trump is the only one who holds that same outlook. Unfortunately, the Republican corporation does not carry that priority. Thus, the Big Ugly battle for control of the Republican Party is being previewed right now and will grow in scale and consequence very soon.
Let me emphasize a key point. The Republican Party is not positioning to win the 2024 election. The goal of the Republican party is to remove the threat represented by Donald Trump. When you start there, all of the RNC weaknesses or flaws look very different, very purposeful.
Donald J. Trump isn’t the cause of the Republican failure; he is the result of their failure.
The people in control of Republican Club do not care who is in the White House – that is a secondary objective. What they care about right now is controlling the Republican corporation and stopping the hostile takeover.
Every single Republican presidential candidate for 2024, sans Trump, will be inserted into the race to help the Republican corporation in this battle. When you see them enter, instead of asking, ‘how can they win‘, ask yourself what is their mission on behalf of the Club priority?
****P/N/L****
I have been writing comments recently about P/N/L; Populism, Nationalism,Libertarian, which has been a common ground public policy view across the created “political spectrum” (created specifically to divide and conquer P/N/L) since our founding.
I would argue our Founders were all P/N/L advocates.
Populism isn’t called that because it adheres to whatever public policy initatives are “popular” at the time, but because its core public policy initiatives are ALWAYS going to be inherently,..popular.
Populism is embracing and advocating public policies that “benefit the common man, and so benefit America”. What Sundance refers to as “Main street vs Wall street”.
One vital aspect of populism is the much maligned “Protectionism with tariffs” that is, using tariffs on imported goods to prevent the kind of destruction of the rust belt and manufacturing we have witnessed.
Those who villify “protectionism and tariffs” advocate instead for “Free trade” in a J. Lennon “Imagine” view of global economics. But, its a CON, of coarse.
What they actually enact as public policy through trade agreements, is every OTHER Country can enact tariffs and trade barriers against U.S. products, while we put in low to no such tariffs on THEIRS.
THIS is exactly what feeds the “exfiltration of wealth” Sundance describes in his “Maganomics 101” writings.
PDJT’s MAGANOMICS policies are “pure” Populism. Certainly our Founders were “Populists” as the U.S. Govts primary source of income until 1917, was from TARIFFS, with a lesser amount from “user fees”.
NATIONALISM is seperate but closely aligned view; it IS “America First”; the quite sensible view that all policy choices should be made on the basis of whats best for America and Americans; ALL Americans.
It is the source of “American Exceptionalism” view, much maligned by Obama and the Globalists. AE is the belief that our country is EXCEPTIONAL, not as an ego trip “we’re best” but as a recognition that a combination of factors MAKE America an Exception to all other nations; our Constitution and bill of rights, the rule of law based on that Constitution, which produces a large middle class, the fact that the U.S. has virtually everything it needs, and so doesn’t HAVE to import anything, which means ultimately in any “trade war” we WIN, (see Populism above) and yes our Judeo/Christian founding.
Nationalism too has been villified by false associations to Nazis and “White Nationalism” which is a distortion.
Nationalism is as expressed by PDJT; I do whats best for America and Americans, just as I expect other nations leaders to do whats best for their country and people.”
Certainly our Founders would all be Nationalist, but none would be Nazis.
And, while Lincoln freed the slaves, the foundation for that was inscribed in the soul of our country “that ALL men are equal”is what led to Lincoln and the birth of the Republican party.
Libertarians (like original liberals) are “originalists”; follow the Constitution.
We should not have an FDA, DEA, CDC, NIH, Dept of Education,FBI,ATF, etc. because the Constitution does not grant such powers to the Fed Govt.
Libertarians champion our freedoms, and fight any attempt to restrict them.
The ACLU, back when it went to court to argue the Nazi’s should have a parade permit, was making the Libertarian argument.
As I listened to 6 1/2 hours of RFK JR, I heard many views of public policy that were straight P/N/L; BECAUSE P/N/L is NOT About party, or lib vs con: it truly is a common, UNITING public policy view.
And BECAUSE it unites most all Americans, because in a free and open public debate it always wins, and because it prevents a relatively small group of elitists to consolidate power, they preemptively prevent that unity that they can not stand against, by dividing us with the false notions of R vs D, and Lib (left) vs Cons(right).
I would also point out that when you put Populist, Nationalist, Libertarian together, you inevitably get PATRIOT.
MAGA is just the modern clearing of a throat, and sounding of a voice that has existed since the Founders, that has been stifled by the elitists, and has finally resolved to be silenced no more.
WE are a MUCH BIGGER CLUB, growing bigger every day, and they ain’t in it!
Some good thoughts, Dutchman.
Let me introduce to you a different perspective on the Libertarian issue.
As a long-time follower of the late Lawrence Auster whose blog Amnation.com I consider my master’s class in the American political scene, I have to say that libertarian politics has no place in my thinking.
I would do an injustice to Mr. Auster were I to attempt even to summarize what Libertarian means.
So, I will refer you here: http://www.amnation.com/vfr/
And here:site:amnation.com/vfr libertarian
There is a lot to digest, if you’re up for it.
Take care.
harrietht3
Thanks Harriet, when he was alive I read Mr Austers blog faithfully. He was a brave and brilliant man I learned a lot.
He played a role in shaping my world view and thoughts on politics culture and more.
Thank you for your thoughtful responce, and i WILL check out the material at the link.
When I use P/N/L I am talking in broad terms about philosophies of governance, and as I stated each has been denigrated, distorted, and undermined because thet represent a uniting force which threatens the uniparty.
B. Goldwater was a Libertarian although like Ron Paul and Rand Paul he ran as a Republican.
Listening to Reagans ‘the speech’ that he gave as keynote to intro Goldwater, followed by Goldwaters “Extreamism, in the defence of liberty is no vice!” acceptance speech is “pure” expression of P/N/L, IMHO.
5 years ago, when I argued to people that the fed. gov has no business telling citisens that some medications are “Drs rx only” and that all should be OTC, like over 1/2 the world, they thought I was nuts.
Now, after the ivermectine/Hydrochloriquine,…not so much.
I see what you mean by the “fed. gov has no business telling citizens that medications are” prescription only; it does raise the specter of the feds usurping the role of trained physicians. Most of us understand the implications of that now, since 2020 at least.
More to say on that, but later.
“Accelerationism”
Accelerationism is a range of Marxist and reactionary ideas in critical and social theory that call for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage, and other social processes in order to destabilize existing systems and create radical social transformation, otherwise known as “acceleration”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
Thanks Dutch spot on always enjoy your input to the conversation be well stay strong and God Bless
R.D.
RFK, Jr. has tweeted his view of tariffs, a view similar to DJT’s; so, maybe he is angling for being DJT’s VP running mate, probably make a strong ticket ‘cuz, even 60-years post-Camelot, there are lots of yellow-dog Kennedyites out there.
No, he made clear last week that the people calling for him to team up with Trump were barking up the wrong tree, that he disagreed on substance with Trump on many things and would not want to be his running mate, AT ALL.
If he holds to that, that’s great; I’d hate to vote for a Kennedy in order to vote for Donald Trump a second time.
Hmm.. ok. Too bad.
Not again, another Treeper pushing a lifetime liberal to be Trump’s VP.
Please make it stop.
👍
As I commented, I watched 6 1/2 hours of RFK JR interviews, and no not VP material, at all.
I was touching on what Sundance is talking about with Sanders; what I call the P/N/L within the body politic, is the authentic majority, harkens back to the founders, and has been divides by party and equally artificial “left vs right” in order to divide it.
And, as Sundance says, the Dem version of MAGA (which is basically what we are talking about, certainly the Dem version of P/N/L ) is still permeated with the idea that Government is always the answer.
If you follow my above post on P/N/L, and the founders, obviously this notion was anethema to them.
More than anything, both Bernie and RFK JR come across as hopelessly naive.
“I watched 6 1/2 hours of RFK JR “
I don’t understand why you needed 6 and 1/2 hours to decide that RFK Jr should not be the vice president of anybody.
After 12 years of Obama (I’m including Biden)you think we might need another Democrat in the White House?
6 and 1/2 hours….. sounds worse than listening to Sean Hannity!
I never said i listened to 6 1/2 hours of RFK JR, SO THAT I could decide if he should be PDJT’S running mate.
I was quite confident of my “hell no” to that question, going in.
If you follow my comments, i am convinced our enemy is losing, or on the verge of losing another major, perhaps vital piece of territory, which means us gaining it.
A whole passal of “liberal, lifelong democrats are STARTING the long process of waking up, “red-pilling” and this is reflected BY “Talking heads” which with their “reach and influence” can shepard their audiences but are also a REFLECTION of their audiences thinking.
Just like on “our side” if they get “too far” out ahead of their audiences, they will lose them, and for them just as for us, expressing their views on PDJT is the “secret handshake” that says “I am a member of the group, I am one with you”.
Unity, ultimately is the key to defeating tyranny, as there is no effective counter to it, except tonpreemptively sew division to prevent its formation.
The “bubble effect” of social media furthers the division initially created with political parties and the related false constucts of “liberal” and “conservative”, as preemptive defensive manuevers.
Hence, I regularly monitor “the other side” rather than staying ONLY on MAGA sites.
Joe Rogan, Bill Maher, Taibi, Naomi wolfe, Tulsi Gabbard, Jimmy Dore, Russel brand, RFK JR and others are now “risking” condemnation, ostacination and cancelling from “their group” by , much like TC, going through the PROCESS of red pilling and taking their audiences with them.
Go to “Ask Dr. Drew, click on the show with Jimmy Dore, and LISTEN. Go to clubgrubbery.au.com, and listen to the two hour panel discussion with naomi wolfe. Listen to Joe Rogan or Russel Brand, if you can stand his on the verge of caffiene O.D. style.
At some point they will reassure rach other and their audiences with the “secret handshake” by a sentence or two denigrating “Trump” but they then go on to list all of the LIES of Covid, Ukraine war, and their horror that THEY LIED TO US.
The second half of the 2 hrs with naomi wolfe is particularly valuable to hear; the first 1/2 is all covid vax, as she shares her work on interpreting the 10,000 pages of pfiser docs, but in the second 1/2 you hear 4-5 lifelong liberals (one a formerly lifelong athiest!) openly aknowledging what WE all see, i.e. that this is a battle between god and the devil, and aknowledging that although they long supported gun control, they now understand the reason COVID madates did not get as extreme in the U.S. as they did in Australia, was because the U.S. has 2A. Remarkeable to hear; the GET it that 2a isn’t about hunting, its about retaining the right in order to discourage tyranny, with the mere threat.
Anyway, THATS why i listened to RFK JR, as I think he is one of the few politicians (Tulsi Gabbard, Kyrsten Synema, those politicians that have announced they are leaving the D party, the Dem State legislators in Az. that recently “sided” with the MAGA coalition to fight the RINO leadership in the Statehouse) which are representing this growing, still in the early stages of red pilling process.
BECAUSE expressing their contempt for PDJT is their “secret handshake” (just as for us, expressing admiration for PDJT is) first they will red pill on Covid, ukraine war, eventually they too will realise the true nature of the uniparty, and only when they realise they no longer “share” any common views or interests with their now FORMER group, will they signify that by no longer displaying their “secret handshake” of contempt for PDJT and MAGA.
And, as Sundance pointed out, when writing abiut the difference between Bernie and Donald, they cling to the idea that GOVERNMENT is the solution, ..even RFK JR despite his clear understanding of the deep state, and Regulatory capture, naively believes more government can be the answer, instead of understanding its the problem.
Its the “natural” human tendency to read a headline, and say “there ought to be a law” and our side is equally susceptible to that EMOTIONAL responce. Its just the default responce of “liberals”.
Anyway, my thinking is this war we are in, is in its infancy, and may yet go on for 50+ years, and ultimately only UNITY will defeat the tyranists, hence this movement within the “liberals ” is heartening, and bears watching.
But (secret handshake, SEE how it works!) I will crawl miles across the hot mohave desert, over broken glass, naked fighting off scorpions and rattlesnakes, to write “Trump/Lake” in blood across my ballot and drop it in the box, ignoring their protestations that “write ins won’t be counted!” and just before succumbing to dehydtation and dieing.
We can NOT overcome HATE, with more hate.
WE can NOT overcome Division, with more Division.
Without unity, the 2A option will not “save us” it will only achieve the goal of our enemies (destruction of America) and with unity, such kinetic action won’t be needed.
IMHO
It’s hard to listen to RFK Jr because his actions speak so loud I cannot hear what he says. Specifically his life long push for the Green movement in this country.
Green is a religion that needs government lies to grow.
You certainly can’t have P/N/L or MAGA with Green.
Who’s pushing, I detect a comprehension problem.
Read the comments, a lot of people are pushing this.
I try to keep it simple.
You either identify with the people or you don’t. Those who don’t, are afraid of them, and wish to draw all power from them. I’ve heard OMG(Orange Man Good) described as, “a billionaire that talks like a cab driver…” His errors, are honest errors, and he’s usually transparent about that.
Put another way, the cab driver doesn’t “tawk” like a scripted politician. You may or may not identify with them because of that… regardless of financial stature, gender class, intellectual frame, spiritual category, or labeled skin color… that’s how I interpret your PNL for my personal, deplorable, consumption.
Economics is an “abysmal science” for some people. Make America Great Again… the kids in FL wear MAGA hats. Sometimes it’s not the principles or policy, it’s the presentation. My opinion only.
Libertarians are nut jobs.
This is the weirdest yet for RDS–https://www.rsbnetwork.com/news/vp-musk-desantis-campaign-releases-ad-that-prominently-features-tesla-ceo/
Let’s not forget what the DNC did to Bernie TWICE. He was likely going to be the nominee in 2016 and he most surely was going to be the nominee in 2020. They screwed him both times in wide open view. Bernie and his family got paid for their “trick” and all was well at the DNC again.
Trump ain’t bending over for the RNC like Bernie did for the DNC, which goes along with what the hosts here are saying and why they need the DOJ to lock Trump up. They want him gone and gone for good.
Stop! Bernie’s job was never to win. It is solely to drag the DIMs further and further to the left because “the people wanted it”. He knew the rules going in. He’s an I and w I’ll never get the D nom.
He enjoyed those campaign contributions though and the big DNC payoffs.
Look up Right To Rig.
Yes, he enjoyed those campaign contributions, and his time in the spotlight. Those are the two things that career politicians live for. However, as for Bernie, he knew going into that gig that “it’s a big club, and he aint in it”. He happily played his roll on the stage, said his lines on cue, and then quietly collected his thirty pieces of silver before disappearing off into the sunset.
Actually, there WERE some aspects of populism that were definetly in his campaigning.
And you can see it in the crowds at his rallys; he got 10,000, not as big as DJT, but far bigger than anyonr else.
Most focus on how he spent the money, and didn’t notice; he stayed neck and neck with Hillary, in fund raising, almost to the end.
And while she was racing around the country to $10,000/ plate fundraisers, Bernies donations were mostly small donations.
He was interviewd live, and asked if he was going to have a fundraiser like Hill, and he said “sure, right now. If your watching this, go to http://www.bernie and donate.
Raise a couple mil in 24 hrs.
Had his people line the road in laurel canyon where hill was going to one of those exclusive fundraisers for hollywierd types, and they tossed $1 bills at her as she drove by, it was actually pretty funny. I half expected her to have them stop the car so she could get out and scoop up the $.
And yeah, bernie played his role, no different that Obama, Hillary, Mitt, Bush, they are all company men and women.
I see our declining middle class, economically speaking, our increasingly rusty rust belt, and our completely abandoned effort at border security as ensuring a total lack of national security.
When, not if, the mass intrusion of violent foreigners who do not have our best interests at heart are fully activated, we will not have the ability or the financial or industrial wherewithal to mount a defense.
President Trump was actively working on all of these issues when his office was stolen.
Not sure what “fully activated” is supposed to look like?
Are they, on some sort of signal, all going to pull out ak47’s and start hunting white people in red caps, or what?
Mind you, as an Az native I know about the illegals, and want the border closed, and local leo authorised to enforce, no bank, rental or property or car or credit, and hell no no jobs; any employer that can’t show e-verifyon all employees gets fined first time, loses business licence second time.
I think they are doing just like europe, with the immigrants from africa middle east, and expect we will have our own no-go zones within several years if PDJT doesn’t get in in 2024, just not sure what “activation” means.
By Activation I presume he means they are unwilling to accept American values and they have no intention of becoming fully American. By definition this means they are an infiltrated enemy of America. That’s how I see his use of the word activated.
The Fire Ant Principle may apply.
Say you are outside working in the yard. You are busy with the task and don’t notice that you have stepped on a fire ant bed.
They stealthily crawl up your leg then all at once activate! “Yow!”
Now you are frantically swatting your leg, throwing off your shoes swatting and slapping.
Now you have itchy welps.
I saw a comment that Trump needed to work to get black and Latino voters. It is my opinion that he had the most diverse coalition ever in 2020. He probably had black and Latino percentages that would have led to years of election victories. The GOPrick RINOrats could not allow this. The demographic voting “sides” are cleary defined. They could not allow that much crossover.
Dear God, I thought Gaetz was a good guy … terrible just terrible

Well heck.
but…good to know..
WOW!
👀 Gaetz??
Just wow!!!!
Gaetz is not a MAGA. Gaetz plays them all to get his money in pocket. Never trusted him and never will.
I have had doubts about him, cemented with the passage of time after that what I am now convinced was Kabuki theater during the 9 days to elect a Speaker.
This confirms it, and Gaetz led the 20/6, recall.
I think he is the Josh Hawley of the House.
Same here.
Gaetz is the only one though who does not take corporate donations. He is totally supported by small donors. That’s what makes this more puzzling.

Gaetz definitely screwed up, like anyone can get a fair trial in that cesspool. He deserves the same treatment as Target in my opinion. No excuse for that response.
Saw this. It made me sick. However, I don’t trust any politician. I am pleased when they express opinions and make decisions that actually benefit the people. However, I am always anticipating their masks to slip.
you are dam right Sundance…
all these republicans
all of them voted to get rid of tariffs on China-made solar panels…all of them…
And whats the bet each and every one of them will be Supporting Desantis…each and every one
Thomas Massie being on that list is no schock. He’s one of DeSantis’s most vocal supporters in Congress.
Thomas Massie sees that Turtle Mitch’s days are numbered and he flopping around to gain GOPe support to be the next Senator from KY to replace him. Typical politician. He will turncoat, sell his mother, or stab anyone in the back to gain more power, exposure or personal wealth. Massie and DeSwampass deserve each other.
I heard an anectode from a caller to a talk show that was about the caller attending Massie’s victory party when he won his election to be a freshman House member. The caller said that she was introducted to Massie and after she had mentioned to him that her and the voting – age members of her immediate family cast their ballots for him the first thing out of Massie’s mouth was “Thank you. Are you and your family going to vote for me for my re-election?” The man wasn’t even seated as a House member and he was planning for the next election.
I am donating an amount monthly through WinRed that I designated for Donald Trump. How do I verify that is where it is going?
Write checks to Donald J Trump. Mail them to Mara Lago.
Joshua, have you done this? President Trump’s donation page at DonaldJTrump.com provides a different address (not Mar-a-Lago) for sending checks. Also campaign finance law asks for specific information to be included with your donation.
It’s easy to donate. But please do it right please! Not providing the FEC required donor info or incorrectly making out the check or sending to the wrong address —so unnecessary. Donating correctly is really pretty straightforward:
Go to DonaldJTrump.com. Download the donation form (link to the pdf form is mid-page). Fill out the donor information form. Make out the check as instructed. Mail to the address provided.
For those that upvoted Joshua, please don’t do that.
IF you want to send a check that’s fine BUT at least do it correctly so the campaign can actually use the donation.
Go to DonaldJTrump.com and follow the instructions.
—–Make sure to include the listed donor information required by FEC campaign finance law.
—–Make out the check as instructed and mail to the address provided.
It’s easy to donate by check. But be helpful and make your donation count. Follow the instructions provided at President Trump’s website.
To clarify, I’m not refering to upvoting, but was warning not to do what Joshua recommended doing.
sunrei, you are so cool!
Yes she is!
One of my favorite new Treepers.
You can give a gift to anybody. There is no law against that. What he or she (and yes, those are the only two options) chooses to do with the gift is entirely up to them.
Don’t do it. Don’t give winred a single penny!
They screwed me, stole my CC amd put false charges on it
I had to cancel it and I have like 8 autopsy’s to charity’s, Apple Pay, pay pal
It’s just unreal
WinRed is a credit processor. The RNC requires all GOP candidates use WinRed to process credit card donations.
People have been showing up on CTH recently trying to discourage people from donating. If you don’t want to donate via WinRed there is an alternative:
You can donate by personal check. Here’s how:
Step One: Go to DonaldJTrump.com.
Step Two: Mid-Page is a link to the donation page which has a PDF donation form. Download the form.
Step Three: Complete the donation form —the basic info is required by campaign finance law.
Step Four: Make out the check as instructed
Step Five: Mail with the donation form to the address provided.
I can vouch for this Sunrei. Thanks for your time and patience.
I have been one of the millions of small donors since President Trump ran the first time, always donating exclusively to his pacts via his website.
Not one cent of my donation goes to the RNC.
If you donate to donaldjtrump.com,scroll down after it says win red. What you’ll see is that none of it goes to the RNC. It tells you how your donation is divided up and you can change the percentages.
Many people come on here after all this time has elapsed with these changes to President Trumps site yelling “don’t donate.; don’t donate. I’m never going to donate to win red and the RNC again.”
It appears they’re organized to discourage people from donating to our President.
100% correct, CA.
so many posters have gone thru the whole donation explanation – with receipts –
that using the winred straw dog now is clearly an attempt at donation suppression.
as you point out, just READ the site when you make a donation to PDJT.
all the info is there.
take the time to READ each pop-up as you continue the process.
have donated many times without any problems,
not a lot, but every little bit helps.
thanks for your succinct and totally on point comment,
and a safe and respectful Memorial Day to you and yours.🇺🇸
That’s true.
Do not donate through Winred. Ronna might need some more plastic surgery.
Kristin you’ve got your facts wrong.
If you go to DonaldJTrump.com it clearly states 100% of donations go to the campaign and or the Pac. You can select how much you want to go to either -100% to the campaign or split in whatever way you want between the campaign and/or pac.
WinRed is just a credit card processor. WinRed does list a small credit card processing fee (normal for any credit card processor).
You’re obviously one of the influencers who are trying to get people to not donate to Trump.
Please read my list directly above and get your facts straight.
WINRED is dead to us.
Do not click through their solicitations and do not send them a red cent.
Oh please stop with the donation suppression efforts ..
WinRed is simply a credit card processor. By law the campaign must receive the funds within 10 days of your donating by credit card thru WinRed.
HERE’S HOW TO CONFIRM WHERE YOUR DONATION WENT:
You can go to the below FEC link and search by your own name or by the campaign –just be aware that the campaign updates the FEC with donor/donation data on a quarterly basis.

Thanks to all for the comments and direction. According to the winred account, my contribution is going to the Trump save America joint fundraising Leadership PAC, which supports ex-president Trump.

You’re wrong TL. How do I know?
I’ve spoken directly with the senior executive VP of the FEC listed firm that is overseeing the finances of the campaign.
WinRed is simply a credit card processor, nothing more. The donations do go to President Trump’s campaign.
umpty trillion thumbs up, sunrei!
at this point, i have to suspect willful ignorance on the part of the “don’t donate” crowd.
glad you have the patience to correct the record.
sunrei gets the award for the bruised knuckle battleing keyboard warrior of the week!
WELL DONE, Kudos, etc!
This is wrong.WINRED is nothing but a credit processor, they exist as a business by charging a small fee to process payments made through the use of a credit card.
https://donors.winred.com/en/articles/3773571-where-does-my-donation-go
.
“We are required by law to pass funds on to the candidates you’ve allocated your donation to within 10 days, but most organizations receive payouts much sooner.

. . . Your donation made through WinRed will appear on the FEC’s website once the candidates and organizations you contributed through WinRed file their report. Please note this is updated only when that candidate or organization has to file their FEC reporting.
.
https://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/individual-contributions/
I don’t think you can. Does anyone know if there is a direct way to donate to the Trump campaign?
please see sunrei’s post above at 11:48p. 😊
Yes there is a way to directly donate. Go to DonaldJTrump.com Midpage there is a link to the donation page.
Option 1. Donate by credit card. WinRed is simply the credit card processor. By law, the campaign must receive your donation within 10 days, 100% of your donation less the listed small processing fee goes to the campaign and/or pac.

sunrei,
after such battles I sometimes retreat the the refuge within a refuge, that is the open thread.
Spiritually uplifting, refreshing, and a place to heal my skinned up knuckles, its almost like a spa for the soul.
😉 again well done, and you have far more patience than I.
Thanks dutchman — I was over there at midnight to enjoy Leon’s first Caturday post!
What a compelling portrait of President Trump. God save President Trump from the enemies of this nation and for the people to remain free. Freedom requires sacrifice and disciple coupled with the mercy of our higher power – God almighty. This nation needs to return to our first principles of the constitution, we need to teach this document to every child. Most of all sedition against this document must be exposed as treason. Treason with consequences.

Leaked Audio Exposes DeSantis Campaign Strategy on Abortion: Move to ‘the Middle on the Abortion Issue’ After Primary (AUDIO)
Leaked audio has emerged from the DeSantis donor strategy meeting in Miami on Thursday. In the clip you can hear below, DeSantis strategists tell high dollar donors making calls for the campaign that:
DeSantis’s position is keeping abortion decisions at a state level (following Trump’s position);That the Governor will shift to the middle during a general election;The campaign’s position on abortion can be described as “safe, legal, and rare in Florida” – a stunning deployment of President Bill Clinton’s infamous pro-abortion catchphrase.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/05/leaked-audio-exposes-desantis-campaign-strategy-abortion-move/?
Get this after the Pro-Life Lila Rose types are pretending President Trump the most pro-life President in history-didn’t do enough- just overturned RvW.
I keep telling people: All these social issues will be quickly discarded when they are convenient. They don’t care about wokeness or the tranny nonsense. Look at how bufoonish Asa Hutchinson’s response was to the bathroom and sports legislation they wanted to pass in Arkansas. And Ronnie is trying to run to the right of Trump on abortion? Ha! They know what they are doing.
If you need confirmation on just what a sellout he is: https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/05/26/leaked-desantis-camp-audio-move-to-the-middle-after-primary-clintons-approach-to-abortion/
So legalinsurrection had a post up with a video which President Trump says Cuomo did a better job with Covid than desantis
I love Trump but that’s just crazy
Trump knows what he is doing
I love the guy as well, but Trump’s mouth at times is his worst enemy.
To bad you don’t understand it’s one of his greatest weapons. Why do you want to shut him up? What truth do you want to silence?
I don’t wanna shut him up at all ma’am! Ha ha ha! Always remember that a sword is double edged. I want him hitting every target – on point – and full throttle! 😄
This forces the Meatball to talk about all of what he did to Florida. PDJT is throwing topics out there so that Team Meatball has to go off script.
Sounds like an invitation for DeSantis go ahead and show his work. what’s wrong with that?
Yes, I agree. Let’s hear DeSaster defend himself.
This is when I wish Don, Jr. would cold cock some sense into his dad.
Did not Jr. call for an end to the Crud Light boycott? The apple does not fall far from the tree. They both have the same problem with their mouths.
But I would much rather listen to Trump and Son. Than to all the lies that spew forth out of the Flop Gov.
?
Yeah, politics is spin for sure. DeSantis team does it too.
I don’t know the end result as of today, but there were definitely times when Florida had more infections and sometimes death rates than NY on and off.
For example in an article from last year:
*****
Excerpt:
Florida recorded more than 1.2 million infections as the delta variant ripped through the state during the third quarter of 2021. New York recorded just 313,000 cases.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, as the delta wave left Florida and headed north, New York recorded more than 1 million new infections, while Florida’s caseload increased by almost 658,000.
Since Jan. 1 this year, as the omicron variant engulfed the nation, Florida recorded more than 1.5 million new infections. New York, 1.4 million.
Source:
https://www.lohud.com/story/news/coronavirus/2022/02/28/how-do-covid-cases-deaths-vaccination-rates-compare-florida-new-york/6842873001/
And
Covid death rates by state
(FL higher than NY)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/
*****
Don’t get me wrong….I think Florida dud better than NY when you filter in Florida’s aging population, etc. DeSantis tried to center in on the adult homes, mobile treatment labs, etc.
Cuomo sent covid sick patients back to retirement homes.
But if you are strictly using infection or death rates….you can certainly spin it.
The DeSantis team is doing horrible spin against Trump also. It’s a primary.
Sounds crazy like not credible. Can you post the article?
By the time the delta variant came along, cuomo had already killed off all of the most likely to die, in the nursing homes, and the ones that weren’t in nursing homes moved to florida?
Lies, damn lies and statistics.
Cuomo and DeSantis are both Uniparty creeps, wouldn’t trus either one to babysit a houseplant I didn’t like, …
DeSantis must have forgotten about all the things he did when first elected Governor. He was so thankful that Trump had help him win that he was praising Trump all the time. Traitor!

Keep it up, Ronnie. At this rate, you’ll be at single digits before Christmas.
I keep telling people that this country was built on tariffs. Now, of course, in this modern day and age you don’t want to use them all the time, but you have duty to your countrymen to protect their livelihoods. Especially with hostile actors that steal your intellectual property and cheat the system. National security is put at increasing risk when we try to extract resources from hostile areas when we can easily get it at home.
WE inherently win any “trade war” as anyone who understands that the arguments against tariffs, and championing “free trade” without taking into account “fair trade” is b.s. know.
Its one aspect of American Exceptionalism, and the most destructive policies to America, (trade deals) were never debated, never voted on, and the negotiators weren’t stupid, it was intentional.
the issue is/was that other countries were charging the US more in tariffs than
the US was charging them.
“The priority for both clubs, Republican and Democrat, is NOT politically or culturally ideological. In the modern era, the corporate priority first begins with a battle over who controls each corporation.”
And we know the corporations are owned by the alphabet agencies/deep state via blackmail. Unelected people are in control of the world, and WE can do something about that.
Get hired by Trump after his win and sabotage his agenda.
WOW – guess you don’t like prosperity, low prices, job opportunities, peace in the world, safety in our cities.
Why are you here?
i would read that again
Interestingly enough, MacGregor made statements similar to these. The corporate donors are our rulers and the pols are just the marionetted
1.5 Billion
That’s the number. That’s the number of Communist Chinese customers every multi-National corporations want to access. Their loyalty is to the number. They don’t give a shit about; nations, cultures, or political systems. They don’t give a shit about the US Constitution. They don’t give a shit about UNIONS or environmental regulations … because none of those obstacles exist in Communist China.
The multi-National corporations don’t care if they make Communist China the wealthiest and most powerful nation on the planet. They believe it’s time for America to get off its “high horse”, as does their master Obama. It’s the Communists turn. Perhaps Communism “done right” … wherein the corporate executives get to keep their wealth while The State distributes subsistence level stipends to the masses … so long as their social credit scores allow it … will work this time around.
Are the UniParty politicians announcing this? Of course not. That might scare off the plebes. So they tell you how much they carrrrrre about America … while simultaneously looting its wealth and destroying its jobs. Every politician in America is actively attacking the foundations of our nation. They are deliberately and accidentally wrecking America.
One President stands out in the crowd. And we all know who that is. Communist China is laughing at the voters of America. Voters who are intentionally destroying their own nation.
Sundance I can see you spent a lot of time composing this, a Master Class in why you should never vote based on the presence or absence of mean tweets.
Thank you.
This also fully encapsulates why I recoil with complete disgust at the very mention of a Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney type; it’s funny to think the consultant class believes such name-dropping is somehow advantageous for DeSantis and Scott.
Truly. Jeb! endorsed De Santis and I knew then De Santis was no good.
I belonged to a Union at one time. Every election they would send us a list of recommendations on how to vote on each issue and candidate. I always welcomed their flyer and used it to vote against whatever they were favoring.
In the same way, Jeb, Cruz, Bush, have favored us with their opinions. Since we know these men for the elitist traitors they are, we know which way to go in opposing them. Surefire way to help with a long ballot.
Totally agree with Sundance’s analysis. What is the point for those of us still remaining in the Republican Party to stay a member of it knowing they will do whatever it takes to sabotage President Trump’s chances to be re-elected?
I know we talk a lot here about forming a new party and often we resign ourselves to hoping we can primary every GOPe member. Sorry folks. It’s not going to happen. The GOP is too corrupt and has way too much to lose if President Trump regains leadership of the party. We can’t outpsend them and they’re too entrenched in the party hierarchy.
Pat Buchanan planted the seeds of the populist revolt within the GOP back in 1992, but it took Donald Trump to lead it to victory in 2016. Whatever happens next year it’s obvious we need a clean break with the Republican Party. They don’t care about us or the American people. If a new party has to be formed so be it.
The manner OF the break, is sometimes just as important as the break itself, particularly for the long term.
My thinking is, the perception has to be of the RNC/GOPe intiating the break, NOT PDJT.
THAT is what insures that AMERICA FIRST, MAGA is sustained as a movement, long after PDJT leaves the scene, rather than going the way of the Bull Moose party, which is what would have happened if as many ,(myself included) have urged i.e. that PDJT leave the R party and start his own.
And the RNC/GOPe are putting themselves right on the path to their own destruction, and insuring A1 MAGA’s longevity.
3 cheers for karl rove and RDS!
And BTW … I’ve forever banished Fox from my life, and instead gave Newsmax a chance. And then, I watched Eric Bolling interview DeSantis. Bolling gave a really “stern” preamble … declaring that DeSantis has been playing “softball” with all the “softie” interviews he’d been doing. But “ prepare for some TOUGH questions!!”
… and then Bolling asked NOTHING “tough” whatsoever. I detest the American media … ALL of it!
He did ask him how he was going do all the things he said he would do, He did a lot of follow-up questions with Desantis, which is more than the others do.
Newsmax is NOT to be trusted .
Newsmax =Faux 2.0
Stop eating all of your news meals atca fast food restaurant, just causecits “convenient” (really, just an illusion of convenience).
There is a whole hosts, a veritable banquet of greatctasting, nutricious news sources available, you just need to seek them out, and not be looking for ONE source, for all of your news.
I wonder if Sundance has seen this……..
Maybe a thread soon?

DeSantis has all of the wrong friends.
The Trumpster has all of the right enemies. Our enemies.
The choice is clear.
Yes, we aren’t happy until they aren’t happy.
The enemies of MAGA aren’t smart enough to know this basic truth.
Namely we will love what you hate.
Sorry Ron, you blew your chance.
Kari Lake will be VP and then the next President after PDJT.
MAGA is the patriots and not uniparty traitors party.
JMO.
Stopping the hostile takeover of the RNC/GOPe/RINO corporation has been the joint objective of the three political families (clinton/bush/o-bummer) since 2015.
They orchestrated the 2021 coup against America and President Trump which involved the 2020 fraudulent election and the illegal certification of that election by the traitors in the house.
It was a joint objective that they thought would end in 2021 when they “ended” President Trump’s political career and turned the republican party back over to the RNC/GOPe.
The problem was that President Trump didn’t fall for their trap and didn’t concede.
He has expanded his MAGA/America First base, involving more states, more citizens and more fund raising.
In effect, the coup d’état was shattered in 2021. As criminals often do, one of the three families decided to go their separate way to protect their family’s interest, the heck with the other two.
That rogue family was the bush clan. They threw all of their resources behind DeXX to beat President Trump …. but in doing so, they left out the clinton and o-bummer families. Those two families feel they may have lost their seats at the “power table.” They are not happy campers.
That is the current status.
It helps President Trump because when they are fighting each other, their solid front against him is shattered.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe, especially the DeXX gang!”
Realistically speaking, the GOPrick RINOrats really only have to get past 2024 without Trump winning (as noted they will be perfectly fine if Biden, or whoever wins) to probably be done with MAGA as they did to the Tea Party. Trump is no Spring chicken and I’m sure he would not be in the running 5-6 years from now. He would be 81-82.
Kari Lake is a perfect person to pick up the baton from Trump, but Trump is pretty well self funded.
Does anyone see a Trump like person (brash and in your face) who is also self funded for the future?
“Does anyone see a Trump like person (brash and in your face) who is also self funded for the future?”
Did you know anyone like that in 2014 who was willing to run for president?
Probably not but God had a name and he has guided him through these interesting times to MAGA.
Kari has a fair amont of $ behind her, and its not corruptocrat funding.
As I pointed out earlier, Bernie kept pace with Hillary fundraisingwise, right up to the end, in 2016.
And Hillary was a fundraising machine, vaccuunmming up donations, while bernie was mostly small donations.
Nobody who is MAGA, is giving to the RNC, which like hillary they don’t care cause they got the billionaires.
But WE are BIG CLUB; do the math, if every MAGA donated $10, $50,$100.
The main advantage of PDJT being a billionaire is not self funding a campaign, its that his wealth meant they could not bankrupt him with their lawfare.
IMHO, KL a.k.a. “Trump in a skirt” can be the future of the party despite not being a billionaire.
These opportunists will not defend Trump after ALL the proven setups and treasonous acts proven to have occurred. I think it’s immoral and despicable of them. Greed reveals itself again in dirty politics. This is beyond dirty though and America needs a non corrupt leader with a spine of titanium. Trump is the only solution that will get us out of this hell.
Fox News / the Murdochs have to be furious that this interview was broadcast tonight, let alone put online.
The link takes you to the video in progress at the key point where Miller says:
“Let me give you some cold stark reality. You know what happens to the man that wins the nomination and then wins the Presidency? Come January you meet with the (federal) law enforcement agencies and you come away with their clear message. If you let us do our thing we’ll leave you alone but if you challenge our message we will destroy you and the ones you love. Donald Trump is the only man that people know has already crossed that Rubicon and burned the ships to cinders. There’s no going back there’s only finishing the job. Who else is going to be given this clear message “You screw with our Ukraine plans, you screw with our Middle East plans, you screw with our trade plans, you screw with our career plans and it’s over for you. Who else is going to say oh yeah I’m going to cross the the Deep State, I’m going to cross the FBI, I’m going to cross the DOJ, I’m going to cross the CIA? Who else is going to do that Jesse? Donald Trump has only one option and that is to get in there and bring this thing home to democracy, goodbye to Deep State. Who else is going to do that Jesse? Donald Trump has only one option and he says it all the time which is to get in there and bring this home, goodbye deep state hello democracy. That’s the play here. Drive the ball to the end zone and finish this battle.
“Trump ran against both parties. His speech was against both parties. People are tired of both parties. This isn’t hard.”
~Stephen Miller 2016
Ya think Jesse wants out like Tucker got out???
Too true. I was thinking about this very issue the other day, wondering how many of us in the base realize how unbelievably lucky we are to have a Trump in the first place. Self-funded billionaire who’s an earnest patriot that wants what’s best for his countrymen? Willing to put himself through the grueling process of running?
Ross Perot came to mind as someone who could enter the ballpark with DJT, But he’d maybe get just a foot in comparison, since he was most passionate about Texas, not the entire country, and had no physical stature whatsoever. Admired his anti-stupid-war stance though.
What will we do without Trump? Sounds selfish I know, but I’m liking a forced draft on Eric Trump. Thoughts?
Respectfully, we are not “lucky”; we are BLESSED.
While I see a miracle everywhere I look, a sunrise, a flower, etc. I see DJT as being created by God for this moment.
I like and rely on Rumble for all my news and politics.
You can choose a credible journalist and/ or a subject and become reliably informed.
I turn on OAN for Trump rally’s even if I’m not home to watch them because I want to be counted and I want the lame stream media to realize I don’t need them.
I like RAV tv especially Just the News and LFS6b.
I miss Tucker but I won’t be watching him on Twitter but I bet I can catch him on Rumble.
Fox can go to hell with the rest of them.
Ron DeSantis is an elitist with a cringeworthy fake laugh who is socially awkward around working-class and middle-class voters. The better people get to know DeSantis, the more they will reject him.
Musk is CIA
DeSantis is CIA
And the CIA is the CCP. Now what ?

I find it very simple to keep in mind that the Republican National Committee and the Bush Family are all about promoting themselves, riding out various political storms but always there, another generation of them finding a way to give away our country, for their benefit.
The most recent example is the Withdrawal from Afghanistan, our people who got killed in the effort to get people out, the people that got trapped there, left to fend for themselves, only dear God knows what horrors they have experienced PLUS all that equipment left there to be used against people trapped in the country and in creating new havoc in that region. Not a damn word from the RNC or the Bushes or the Cheneys, their partners in crime.. All those beautiful and brave young Americans who went over there, who were maimed or killed and apparently the government that got them to go over there doesn’t have enough money to help these veterans recover as best as they can, so the DAV needs to run full-page ads in the “Wall Street Journal” from time to time. But you all can send billions of dollars by the boatload or planeload for the new war, in Ukraine.
The RNC is so clueless really, having Jeb Bush and Karl Rove out there leading the way for the Ron De Santis campaign just because Jeb Bush is still sore about 2016. What in the world is the matter with you people that you hate Donald Trump SO much that you are willing to mess up our country even more, you don’t want someone who wants America First and what does that tell us about YOU?
Jeb Bush, the entire Bush Family and Karl Rove and all of his minions are beyond passe. They are a disgrace.
suejeanne,
you’re far too kind,…no really.
I respect your propriety, as I think hanging them with piano wire by their privates is an appropriate starting point.
Apologies if I offend.
More DDS. Yet, DeSantis is more conservative than Trump on every issue. Disney anyone?
Political parties are control mechanisms. I choose not to be part of any control mechanism. Why would I?
As you say it Sundance, President Trump had to fight through the Republican Party to reach the battle with the Democratic Party. In doing so, he expended unnecessary energy but completely exposed the Republican Party.
President Trump is a fighter, but he chooses his battles wisely and efficiently.
Ronna Romney is completely exposed. I expect there won’t be much energy wasted there. Guessing there is a work around already gamed out and put in place for the upcoming battle.
I’m guessing President Trump and crew will take their battle/negotiation directly to the ones funding the political parties. Why sit down with a handler when you can sit down with a fellow boss.
Convince Wall Street that Main Street USA is still the best investment and will provide the best returns over the long haul.
Invest in Main Street and let’s cut out the middle man (the govt who produces nothing but is over-regulating you out of your profits just so they can wet their beaks in the trough).
All the pols appear to be tied into overseas investments. Seems like a good time to bring it all back home and leave them high and dry. I’m sure they can get a job in the Zelensky regime. I hear there are new openings every day.
Karl Rove would not admit on Fox the other day that DeSantis would have been nothing without Trump.
The slime ball is back postulating and predicting.
Enjoy your remaining years live life your best America is finished..Politicans are owned by US oligarchs aka: sellouts!
We have a lot of work to do.. FBI CIA HLS rigs elections ..They know no one will investigate them …How do you overwhelm the votes in 2024 ballot harvesting …
I stand by President Trump.
“National ‘Economic’ Policy” – all wars are economic (as I’ve stated repeatedly).
Ergo – this war (Phase 1) is an internal war within the GOP/RNC between e & MAGA.
Phase 2 – against the DNC/DS after the primary.
CNN will be hosting Mike Pence for a townhall in Iowa on June 7.
The Republicans have a strong tradition of nominating the next in line (that’s Pence).
Don’t fixate on RDS. They’ll drop him like a bad habit.
Speaking about elections and the fact that the RNC doesn’t care if a Republican or a democrat wins, how will Donald Trump overcome the fact that the democrats control every aspect of ballot counting in the swing states and that they have many ways of creating fake ballots, thousands of them? It won’t do to focus on just one way, i.e., ballot harvesting. Democrat ballot counters have many more ways than that to manufacture a loss for Donald Trump.
If you want Donald Trump to win the election, isn’t it important for Trump to figure out how to overcome the blatant democrat fraud perpetrated at voting sites in the swing states?
We all support his national economic America First policies. What about the plans to win this time?
Focusing on ballot harvesting is fighting the last war. It is a trivial exercise for computer algorithms to overcome the most energetic ballot harvesting. Corrupted voter roles provide the backfill.
We shouldn’t copy the questionable tactics of the Dems, they have additional weapons. Remember how Kari Lake got the nomination by same day voting, and when they repeated this tactic for the election, the Dems used additional weapons like misprinting ballots in red precincts and malfunctioning machines in red precincts.
The cure is simple and thoroughly hated: paper ballots, hand counted in polling places of about 3000 voters, with video as the instant audit thereof. The ballots never leave the place they were cast. Just one day to vote, plus absentee ballots as needed.
We were led on a path, through the hanging chad deception, to accept electronic voting machines. This happened about the same time as Venezuela lost their country because of electronic voting machines. The Clintons were taking notes.
I remember the speech made by Trump following the descent he and his wife made on the golden escalator. All I knew about Trump then was what I’d seen and heard of his careers in real estate and entertainment. What Trump said in his announcement speech was unusual in its directness. EIGHT YEARS HAVE PASSED and there hasn’t been a single day without loud lies and malignant claims about Trump’s corruption and wickedness. RNC & DNC, NGO’s, corporate media and all the global powers are fighting over who can tell the most convincing lie about Trump.
If you tell the lie often and long enough the people come to believe it, Maxx.
Thus we now see and hear those who voted for and supported MAGA now praising what Trump was able to do for America, yet at the same time saying they will not vote for him because he is too divisive?!
I ask them to explain to me how Trump’s economic policy negatively affected anyone?
Of course Trump is going to be divisive. He is leading us against a corrupt, hostile, internal enemy that wants to destroy him and us.
By their actions we shall know them — and we’ve certainly witnessed the malicious intent and actions of Trump’s detractors, his vile enemies. Not that they are vile as opponents of Trump, but they are vile in and of themselves, a truth which they exposed about themselves in their zeal to grasp the “ring,” and that, at even the cost of their souls.
We can only thank them for thusly revealing to the world who they really are, these people in their Saville Row suits, and their mellifluous words, dripping with the syrup of Satan.
WE KNOW.
Yeah, I had never even watched the apprentice when Trump announced his candidacy and I was a Ted Cruz guy at the start of that campaign. Trump was refreshing though because he was actually talking about border security instead of “comprehensive immigration reform” like all the other Republicans were and still are. Then Trump went and did what he said he would do. Why would anybody want to ever go back to the same ole GOPe nonsense where everything that happens is done to make you think they’re doing something for you when they’re really not. Only a damned fool wants that.
