As if on cue, here comes another billionaire group by well-established political control agents in yet another multimillion effort to block President Trump. This time it’s Koch and his Americans for Prosperity network.
The Koch groups are planning to spend $70 million in their effort to eliminate the support of Donald Trump in 2024.
However, what will be interesting will be to watch how the downstream media networks attack Trump in order to get a piece of the spending allotment. That’s where knowing where the Koch money flows comes in handy.
First the article:
(New York Times) – The political network established by the conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch has raised more than $70 million for political races as it looks to help Republicans move past Donald J. Trump, according to an official with the group.
With some of this large sum to start, the network, Americans for Prosperity Action, plans to throw its weight into the G.O.P. presidential nominating contest for the first time in its nearly 20-year history. The network spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and conservative policies in the 2020 election cycle alone.
Two groups closely affiliated with Charles Koch contributed $50 million of the more than $70 million that has been raised. Mr. Koch is a major shareholder in Koch Industries, which contributed $25 million to Americans for Prosperity Action, according to a preliminary draft of Federal Election Commission filings. Another $25 million was donated by Stand Together, a nonprofit he founded.
The Koch network’s goal in the 2024 presidential primaries, which has been described only indirectly in written internal communications, is to stop Mr. Trump from winning the Republican nomination. In February, a top political official in the network, Emily Seidel, wrote a memo to donors and activists saying it was time to “have a president in 2025 who represents a new chapter.” (read more)
Truthfully, this is all so brutally transparent it is becoming farcical. Who is inside the Koch network [SOURCE]
So, we are going to see all the Never Trump media orgs like Fox News, The Daily Wire, etc. etc. lining up to take the Koch money in order to make some cash with their ideological alignment.
This Koch Industries $70 million expenditure, exclusively to target Donald Trump, is on top of the $200+ million being spent by Ron DeSantis’s Never Back Down SuperPAC group. Now people are starting to get the scale of the “trillions at stake” aspect.
Recapping all of the aligned enterprises against President Trump we find: the entire Wall Street network of hedge funds and billionaires like Ken Griffin, the entire multinational corporate alignment represented by the Sea Island confab, the billionaires and industrialists who need globalism for profit, the lobbyist groups like the Chamber of Commerce and Club for Growth and the Republican Governors Association who receive funding from those groups. Then we can add the social media influencer community, Elon Musk, the network of allied conservative Never Trump punditry and top it off with the RNC as the cherry on the cake.
Yes, this opposition group represents almost the entirety of the Big Club and every control mechanism- all of it aligned against one guy, one man, who is an existential threat to their influence and affluence…. AND this is only from the Republican side of the UniParty equation. Add the entire Intelligence Apparatus into this equation, and a majority of Republicans in both chambers of Congress, and the scale of opposition takes even more context.
But wait, there’s more…
This doesn’t even include the weaponized use of the judicial branch, the NYC Alvin Bragg effort, the Fulton County GA effort and the Special Counsel Jack Smith effort. All of this… ALL OF THIS is against ONE GUY.
Think about what that reality represents when you consider the scale of corruption that infects the body politic.
And yet, stunningly, remarkably and perhaps even divinely protected, President Donald John Trump is still winning against all of this opposition.
Why and how can this be possible? Because Trump has something none of this can defeat – he has the support of a massive number of Americans who are taking a stand with President Trump as our gloriously imperfect vessel to destroy it all.
It is the most remarkable moment in history as one man stands the gap and fearlessly faces down the combined effort of decades of political corruption. It truly is inspiring.
Last point, knowing that South Dakota governor Kristi Noem is a fully networked Koch person, and knowing that Americans for Prosperity was going to spend $70 million to target Trump, I find it remarkable that Noem is making statements like this:
“President Trump is in the race and right now I don’t see a path for victory with anybody else with him in the race and the situation as it sits today,” she told South Dakota radio station KWAT.” (source)
It looks to me like Koch is holding back Kristi Noem as an insurance policy, just in case they cannot destroy Trump and he ends up victorious against them. In this scenario, perhaps they are even positioning Noem to play the role of Pence in a second Trump administration. We need to watch this angle carefully…

That underware meme is 🎯.
😂🤣😂
That’s a candid photo from before they successfully auditioned their ‘squeal like a pig’ capabilities in front of the halfrican moslem homosexual’s big, ugly, transvestite husband “Michelle”.
Bill Porky Barr and Krispy Kreme Kristy should also be in that picture.
speaking of BHO and Big Mike…since he (BHO) surfaced a couple of weeks ago..to weigh…in..has anyone noticed how his eyes looked.
he is either stoned to the gills or/and is depressed…I hope if there is only one for me to choose..I go with depressed!
All of the above and more, sister.
BHO is medicated and depressed, his HIVplus-ness just turned full-blown AIDS, that ‘cocktail’ (anti-retrovirals) runs out of steam and it’s all down hill from there.
‘They” still need BHO, but watch, as usual, “Man plans and God laughs”…
Yeah…. As much as I appreciate the article, I could have passed on the meme.
Totally agree on the underwear meme. It’s the perfect ridicule!
We should call them “Americans for Prostitution”.
That’s basically an accurate description of what they are doing with their $70M anyways.
Whores, all of them.
Ugh, it made me lose my breakfast.
he’s going to win and
he’s going to win big.
BIG.
WATCH.
Not too sure on that one. Just today there was a poll in PA that he and capt dimensia are neck and neck. Fake poll or not, the media will twist it enough for them to run the same scams as last time.
Is this $70M taxpayer-laundered money courtesy of Ukraine? Is that why Pence visited Zelensky?
None of these demonic people are repubs!
Just for “S” and giggles, looked up Koch. To see the Bud Light, Target possibilities.
Most of their investments are untouchable. Pipelines, fertilizer, glass and polymer products.
BUT they own Georgia Pacific. Which owns Brawny paper towels, quilted Northern tissue,
Dixie Cups, among others.
So….. no Brawny, quilted Northern, Dixie Cups. If you’re preparing to buy anything paper,
fiber, or wood based, see if it’s a Georgia Pacific company. Plan accordingly, and buy elsewhere.
Oh. Let 5, 10, 20 of your Trump supporting friends know likewise.
It would be a hoot to injure Georgia Pacific’s bottom line by oh, say, 70 million dollars or so.
Just depends on the degree of ELECTION FRAUD the billionaire democrats can muster to interfere and change election results.
It’s pretty dam amazing,boy they hate us !
… and they want us DEAD.
[Prepare accordingly …]
And I want them dead also!
One day these pieces of garbage will meet there maker.
For once, demonrats were right portraying Paul Ryan who killed grandma. s/
UGH – Tightie Whities! Or loosie Goosies… The locusts are emerging from the closet – Koch
Koch suckers.
Lmao!!!
LOL!
Bob: Pithy in a way.
The stench of mothballs and urine is strong in that group !
…and Vaseline and fecal matter.
And Ben Gay.
Koch Network aka Republican Libertarians and Progressives against Trump. The only candidate willing to take on the progressives/moderates/libertarians in the Republican and Democrat Party that prey on minors is DeSantis. MAGA without the sexual predatory behavior of the progressives/moderates/libertarians in the APAs and the federal judiciary.
LOL!
Who do you think is funding RDS?
Wow. So glad to share this historical time with CTH. Thank you Sundance for the analysis & inspiration. MAGA 👊👊🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️
Sundance, you need to provide mind bleach to get that image out of our heads. Ewwwwww.
love the visual of the rePubes in their skivvies. Maybe add in Paul Depape in the background stalking them with a hammer.
This is easy. Whoever they support, we don’t want in the second Trump administration. This is such an opportunity because in their bid to rid themselves of what is inevitably coming, we know who they are and what they’re about. Trump/Kennedy ticket with Kari Lake as DHS head and Mike Davis as interim AG. Steve Bannon as Sec of State. Michael Flynn as ODNI head. Kash as IC inspector General and let the fumigating commence…..with a bag of popcorn..
No Kennedy. He’s a liberal. Maybe not a woke liberal, but a globull warming shyster.
While I appreciate some of his positions, it would be bad for him to be VP.
How about head of HHS, FDA, NIH, or something similar.
also..when the time if right…they will bring out the suicide of Mary his wife…..I remember when it happened..totally a pig to her before and after her death..he kept sex diaries..they will rip him to shreds..
Just researched Mary’s death and WHOA! I knew Robert, Jr. was nuts but didn’t realize he was such a sleaze.
Has there ever been a Kennedy who wasn’t?
Well said! We do NOT need another kennedy!
Kennedy can be in the administration but not VP. He is a climatist and. Democrat.
No democrats, period. They are not to be trusted. There hasn’t been a decent one since Truman.
This time it’s Koch and his Americans for Prosperity network.
——–
What, “Americans for Poverty” network wasn’t available?
Americans for the funders’ Prosperity…
Americans for the elites network, if they were being honest.
Ha ha ha ha ha
Charles and David Koch has raised more than $70 million for political races as it looks to help Republicans move past Donald J. Trump
What monumental buffoons , there is no way in hell that people will ever move on from Trump because it’s not just a man it’s a belief system and an unstoppable movement . If it’s not Donald it will be another Trump family member , there is no stopping it .
What’s very clear is the republican party is dead , it’s gone and it will never come back and that’s directly their own fault nobody else’s .
They show every single day that they don’t give a damn about conservative values at all and the American people DO NOT SUPPORT THEM, the American people support America First and that isn’t going anywhere regardless of how much money is spent to stop it.
They may be gone but they sure have a lot of money to throw away.
Ryan represents a branch of the party with plenty of money and no voters. Clearly they would prefer to lose to the Crazy Leftists than see Trump win. Trump upsets the corrupt Uniparty order.
All this and Our President has these Demon Possessed Cretins surrounded. He and a hundred million or so of his MAGA Supporters…
Comer and Jordan are slow walking thea investigation. They don’t have Trump’s back.
No subpoenas, allowing Garland to testify in mid September. “Asking” the Tresaury Department for SARS documents, not requesting AT&T for Joe Bidens phone records. So much more!
The whistle blower IRS agent, gave them a big opportunity to go on offense against Graves, Garland, Wolf and Weiss.
Graves along with Smith is preparing a massive indictment against Trump and allies for J-6.
Smith is preparing for add on charges in Florida.
If Trump is not the nominee I will write him in for President.
No way I will vote for an establishment Republican.
It’s time for we the people to come together like never before, Trump needs our support more than ever.
Sundance is spot on about Cristy Noem. She was urged to take on and take out the odious John Thune but refused. Noem is Mike Pence in a skirt. These RINOS have run out of places to hide. The one and only ticket for 24 is Trump/Lake!
The Kochs are as destructive to Americans interests and security as Soros. They should both enjoy hell together.
David Koch is dead (died in 2019) — so I’m sure he’s keeping the fires nice and warm awaiting his brother.
Two sides of the same corrupt coin.
Quite frankly this is intriguing. DJT is always forcing the other side to show cards. And there all bad cards. They have used spies, police agents, the media etc. all to no avail. Every adverse player has, is or will fail. CNN. Fox. JP Morgan. The Democrat Party. Liz Cheney. Mitch McConnell. I can only imagine what’s in store for Lindsey and Mitt.
A lot of money is being spent to register republican voters in key states, most of whom don’t exist, or have moved or died, so mules can cast their votes for the little guy by mail and drop boxes only to lose to the big guy’s 81,000,000 fans. Most of whom do not exist, or have moved or died.
The ENEMY of DJT must be my ENEMY! Wolverines!
Kristi Noem will NEVER be President Trump
s VP. It will be Kari Lake after the Arizona Courts finish stringing her along with the smallest of hope of her being victorious in her battle for Governor. They will never give Kari Lake her rightful win and position as Governor. Katie Hobbs, the Maricopa Election Board, most of the republican politicians, and almost all of the Arizona Judges and Justices should be hung together for corruption, felonies, and a laundry list of crimes. The whole state government is rotten. I didn
t know until now, that Kristi Noem was in deep with Charles Koch and his heavy “Never Trump” political influence. It seems there isn`t anyone that can be trusted anymore, except President Trump. Noem will be the “Honey Pot” to backstab President Trump if all other attempts fail, or so they think.Americans for Prosperity. . .
In China!!!!
But wait, there’s more! Sham-Wow!
Spot on about Kristi Noem. I hope PDJT stays clear of her. Luna is my choice for VP.
The power of the purse we need to utilize it, before long it will be too late.
I’ve suggested this in the past – I remember when Noem would be at Republican get togethers with Thune back in the earlier days of her political career, and sported a short, straight, modern hairstyle far from the cowgirl nowadays. Just as Wyoming has swamp (as witnessed with Cheney), so does SD.
Might as well have a big bonfire and burn it.That’s all the good it will do.
I am not exactly sure why people that were not for Trump are being awakened.
Even though they are still listening to main stream media.
Hmm,guess we Merican’s aren’t as stupid as they hoped.
Option #1:
Donald Trump 🇺🇲💕
Option #2:
Anybody Else of either party☠️
HINT: Option #2:
This ain’t no option!🤮
Someone tell 30 Pence that Z is cancelling the elections next year. So much for democracy.
And thanks for validating my decision to leave the GOP and register infependent.
I noticed in that Paul Ryan video at the end of Sundance’s post, Ryan just gets uglier as he ages! Usually men get older, wiser, and more handsome with their grey at the temples. This man just looks evil now. It truly is amazing to me how that happens to men (and women) who are evil. It shows. You just have to look.
Trump gets cuter, I think. He has retained his sense of humor (thank God for that) and his determination and strength of character shows on his face. May God bless and keep our President Donald J. Trump!
“Trump gets cuter.” I have noticed that too. He is a genuine good guy and that is reflected in his face.
I agree! I love his sunny disposition!
China just recently passed an “Extra-Territorial Law” that intends to somehow extend its communist rules to other sovereign nations to shield it from criticism or sanction. I wonder if our conservative industrialist cabal helped author this garbage?
Isn’t it illegal for people to spend money — especially that much money, restricting free expression of press, speech, to keep information for a U.S. presidential candidate from people.
Isn’t it illegal to keep information about illegal election activitities in 2020 from the people
Isn’t it illegal create a fake insurrection so that proper constitutional procedures for contesting illegal election activity were subverted?
Does not all this warrant locking up people and trying them in a court of law
Isn’t this 10 times more justification for taking forceful action against the people who are continuing to ensure that we pay taxes, but violate our constitutional rights?
That’s it! I will never drink another Koch– Ice T from now on!
If we get through this without another civil war it will be a miracle……….
The only way we will avoid Civil War or becoming Venezuela is to mount an effective force as We the People that they are afraid of (and they are not afraid of anything), or effectively neutralize them.
Country Doc, no, civil war is not the only way. Our Founders gave we the the people, thru our state legislatures the same power that Congress has to propose amendments to the Constitution with the second part of Article V. Our organization , Convention of States Action, which is an outgrowth of the Tea Party movement, is proposing such a convention to
We need 34 state legislatures to pass identical resolutions with the above discussion points and Congress must call the convention. We currently have 20 states passed and know we are over the target because opposing groups are putting large sums of money and effort to oppose this process. We will be having a simulated convention in Williamsburg VA this fall with all 50 states represented. There is a lot of misinformation and lies out there regarding the convention process.

Convention of the States: “Worse Than Pandora’s Box” | Edwin Vieira, PhD, JD
Premiered Apr 24, 2022
Politicians are considering a “convention of the states” which could take back power from the federal government and return it to the states. However, it is naive to consider that only patriots would be involved in such a convention, says Edwin Vieira Jr., PhD, JD. Such a convention could be “worse than Pandora’s box.”
“The patriots in this country – the constitutionalists – have been consistently out organized, out numbered, and out maneuvered by those so-called community organizers,” he says, “and those people will certainly be involved in this constitutional convention.”

Keep exposing them… especially Bill Barr.
Nobody cares what you think Paul RINO.
I read Noem’s quote as a veiled threat of physical harm against Trump. Because, after all, that’s going to be their only option when none of their other tricks works…
A pox on them all, and hopefully an incurable one.
Dems be lovin’ some Koch Brothers this cycle. They’ll be called “Patriots”!
Trump is a very dangerous man. As such, I demand the Koch’s spend every single red cent they have in order to defeat him !!!
That way, when he easily wins the nomination, those pos’s will be living out of a Target shopping cart !
Let them WASTE $70 MILLION or more if they want. My big concern is how the money sent to ” winred” will be “spent”! IMESHO, the RNC needs a new Chairperson if they want any credibility.
How can you not love Trump!!! I was never a fan of Trump, and initially thought it candidacy was a joke, but at some point in early 2016 I must have taken a time release red pill because my eyes have opened wider every day since then. God alone is our hope, and I pray for Trump, MAGA, and America every day. These are incredible times in which to be alive.
Any Liberal and many Conservatives “Know” they must hate the Koch brothers and all they do.
So how does someone deal with the the cognitive dissonance of the brothers showing their hate and fear of “The Donald,” that we have been all taught to hate and fear?
SEDITION by the Koch Brothers. An Un-American group of rich people trying to influence and INTERFERE in our elections. We need a law that FORBIDS the RICH from INTERFERING in elections. They have become RICH CRIMINALS.
I wonder, how many “ballots” can $70 million buy/manufacture/ destroy?
As all Treepers know, polls and mere votes are not the key to victory. Not anymore.
Too many people have decided to sell their souls for mere -earthly- money.
“The network spent nearly $500 million supporting Republican candidates and conservative policies in the 2020 election cycle alone.“

Is this another circuitous kickback scheme such as Ukraine?
It’s a big club, and we ain’t in it
Just don’t let me get started on the Koch brothers. I made my living for 40 years as a proud American working in the Oil & Gas industry, while the Koch brothers made a fortune on a bunch of Government financed ‘clean energy’ scams after making a fortune buying and selling oil reserves. That I know of, they never actually worked in my industry before becoming Big Government climate change grifters. I dislike the Democrats because they dislike and disrespect our Constituion. I hate the Koch brothers because they are high brow grifters and nothing more. Do not keep reminding me of these pompous a**ed nut jobs. Next subject.
