I have calloused hands and never hide my pride in my blue-collar, non-pretending, life. I can say with certainty, the rustbelt is forever lost to the professional Republican Party. The GOP club, like the DNC club, is dead in the wake of the great MAGA insurgency. Politicians representing the high-minded and pontificating professional Republican class will never again win an election in the rustbelt.
The collapse of the Republican Party in the rustbelt is entirely due to the professionally Republican politicians aligning with economic policies that destroyed the middle class within the region. This is MAGA country now; a place where pragmatic views and deliberate perspectives drive the outcomes of the voting electorate. The era of hope and polite requests is over, and the voters are no longer going to put up with bullsh*t. A recent Ohio poll is a strong indication of this:
The approved and professional Republican Party candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has dropped into single digits in Ohio with less than 9% support. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped over DeSantis into first loser status with 12%, far behind the originator of the America First agenda, President Donald Trump with 64%.
♦ SEMI RELATED – Recently, after noting the CEO of Public Square bragging about the appointment of former Senator Kelly Loeffler (GA) to the Board of Directors, I asked the founder Michael Seifert if he knew what appointing the wife of NYSE owner Jeffrey Sprecher to the board indicates when contrast against the Wall Street corporate sellout of the working class PublicSq was promising to support. Public Square founder Michael Seifert said, he “was not familiar” with the rustbelt. Absorb that as you will.
We’re excited to announce this morning that @KLoeffler is joining our Board at PublicSq.
No one brings as much Wall St, public sector, and entrepreneurial experience while understanding the 100+ million Americans and small business owners that we are built to serve, as her.

With the elite financial class being increasingly exposed, and with the collusion between Big Tech and Wall Street in the public spotlight, and knowing the elite Washington DC establishment is a part of that entire corrupt system, and with millions of Americans more able to accept the scale of the issues, perhaps this is a moment to remind ourselves how the BIG CLUB works to deceive under false pretense.
Washington DC is part of the corrupt Wall Street, K-Street, Big Bank, and BIG TECH system. Everything within that system is self-serving and done deliberately with the intent to maintain a particular status for the people within it. This is the moment of opportunity to expose just how the DeceptiCons trick us… this is information and dot-connecting that created The Last Refuge. This is the bitter pill that needs to be swallowed.
Everything from within the DC system is designed to lie to us. Accept that, and we begin to realize how events are NEVER what they appear on the surface.
The owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is Jeffrey Sprecher. Remember the position of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in regard to Senator Loeffler? Well, Mr. Sprecher is the husband of former Senator Kelly Loeffler.
Kelly Loeffler’s seat was purchased by their elite status and position. Loeffler was appointed by Brian Kemp.
Why would a billionaire run for an elected office paying a few hundred thousand?
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell positioned Loeffler with committee assignments based on that status of influence and affluence.
Jeffrey Sprecher and Kelly Loeffler entered politics for their elite interests.
The ruse of the DecptiCons is always that a motive to the benefit of the republic lies behind their candidacy. This is the same ruse that lay behind Mitt Romney, another DeceptiCon. There are no purely altruistic motives behind these politicians, particularly in the Senate.
Their motives are all about status, power and greed. They are not representatives of the people; they are representative of their own elite fellowship and interests, and this crosses both parties. Everything else is chaff and countermeasures to ensure their position.
That is the brutal and uncomfortable reality to accept. The entire system is corrupt.
The swamp is deep and filled with DeceptiCons who will strike at any given moment once they attain a useful position. You might remember, President Trump went to Georgia to campaign for Senator Kelly Loeffler.
Simultaneous to President Trump’s visible support, Loeffler’s husband Jeffrey Sprecher, owner of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), announced the NYSE will not blacklist Chinese telecommunications firms outlined in Trump’s executive order.
Background: On November 12, 2020, President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting American companies and individuals from owning shares in any of the 31 Chinese companies previously listed as enabling the People’s Liberation Army, effective Jan 11, 2021. Three telecommunications companies China Mobile Ltd., China Telecom Corp Ltd., China Unicom Hong Kong Ltd., were targeted.
Literally, as President Trump was traveling to Georgia to rally in support of Senator Loeffler, the NYSE –owned by Loeffler’s husband– announced they would not delist the Chinese companies:
CNBC – The New York Stock Exchange said it no longer plans to delist three Chinese telecommunications giants.
In a late Monday statement, the NYSE said it dropped the plans after “further consultation with relevant regulatory authorities in connection with Office of Foreign Assets Control.”
[…] The exchange had originally planned to drop those listings in order to comply with an executive order that President Donald Trump signed in November. That order sought to bar American companies and individuals from investing in firms that the Trump administration alleged aid the Chinese military.
That ban is set to take effect Monday, a little more than a week before President-elect Joe Biden is set to to be inaugurated. (link)
Via Axios: “NYSE spokesperson Farrell Kramer declined to comment on what had changed in relation to compliance with the executive order. But Kramer referred Axios to a stock exchange statement saying that, “in light of further consultation” it no longer intends to move forward with the delisting action.” (link)
Senator Kelly Loeffler and husband Jeffrey Sprecher, owner of NYSE
Kelly Loeffler was appointed by Georgia Governor Kemp because Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher, a GOPe party insider, mega-donor, and multi-millionaire CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Jeffrey Sprecher is the founder and CEO of ICE, which now owns the New York Stock Exchange. Kelly Loeffler’s company, the financial platform Bakkt, is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange.
Corrupt as hell. All of it. Insider party schemes, combined with Deep Swamp politics and personal influence peddling for financial interests. The familiar network of personal financial benefit. In 2012, Mrs. Loeffler donated $750,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC.
Political connections are why Kelly Loeffler was selected by Georgia Governor Kemp, and that same pay-to-play political network is exactly why Nikki Haley originally endorsed her and campaigned for Loeffler in the 2020 election. Do you doubt Loeffler, or her husband, will be providing financial support to Nikki Haley in her run for the presidency? Transparent swamp dealing.
Yes, Jeffrey Sprecher owns the largest stock exchange in the world: the New York Stock Exchange with more than 2,400 listed companies and a market capitalization of about $22.9 trillion….. There are Always Trillions at Stake.
Now you have the context absorb this:
Kelly is further proof that our Company can attract extraordinary talent to grow and serve our multi-billion dollar, unaddressed values-aligned market, and we’re grateful for her partnership 🇺🇸https://t.co/NE8NQeElrc

He is so weird and sociopathic in this clip. Look at how his affect completely changes. There is another video from today like this too. His eyes are dead. I don’t know if it’s drugs or what, but he is starting to really creep me out.
He could not hide that very uncomfortable swallow nor the fear in his beady eyes.
And the attempted disguise of wiping sweat from his face.
His eyes are becoming more evident as he loses weight it seems, and what I see creeps me out too, something sociopathic or demonic, a very disconcertingly strange person.
Amphetamines. Government quality and dosage.
Zombie 🧟♀️
The Skull and Bones initiation must have fckd him up.
I know someone jacked on cocaine when I see it.
So why would Trump support Loeffler???
Money, money, money!! Remember Trump saying he liked rich people when he supported Dr. Oz!!
Money, money, money.
Blonde, blonde, blonde.
Network, network, network.
Trumps support shines such a spotlight on the person that nothing can be hidden. If the person is not on the up and up the support exposes their hidden agendas.
Bad judgment and money. Trump for all his strengths is prone to bad judgment regarding individuals. He’s pretty good on the big picture stuff but the micro, especially cabinet appointments, is dismal.
Cabinet appointments are controlled by the Senate.
And they originate with POTUS.
And McConnell refused to even consider several of Trump’s nominees. The US Senate chooses nominees.
PDJT can use temporary appointments to his advantage….switching the temps from cabinet post to cabinet post. It would drive the Dems over the edge. Hopefully the GOPe will follow them to extinction.
I know – I know. I shouldn’t be drinking heavily so early in the afternoon. Sorry!
MAGA
Not really. If the POTUS wants his cabinet approved, they come from a Senate approved list.
It’s gonna get even better. No one wants to back a loser.
What’s next for Sprecher and Loeffler? Perhaps ownership of a professional sports franchise?
Kelly owned a WNBA team so she could swing with the help.
People need to know about Ramaswamy.

Too young, too cavalier, prior associations are a red flag.
An even scarier aspect is why tech (tracking) companies are SO interested in peoples’ medical data. It screams of controlling personal info to be shared by those already listening and tracking every keystroke we make.
That self-formed Fourth arm of our government, the Intel community must be smashed. See: Bill Gates as the godfather of death in India and Africa.
It looks like the 2023 version of….
Meatball Ron and Momzie Karen grift is coming to an end.
Seems to me there should be a pool to bet on the exact day that RDS drops out here on CTH. Nobody cares about the rest of the yodelers running for the GOPe primary. Could be a fund raiser for CTH with a $1 for each bet.
The win would be bragging rights to predicting the winning date.
how in the world is Mike Pence at 6%?
I can only attribute it to lingering ignorance within the Republican Party’s working class that aren’t readers and followers of the issues related to the vote rigging and Jan 6 theft of the American presidency.
Just a guess …
Professional pro life grifters like Lila Rose and Marjorie Dannenfelser and National Right to Life like Ted Baxter.
They want abortion to stay legal so they will have jobs. Pence is an ineffective RINO who would fit the plan, and he is a smarmy DB acceptable to those evengelicals who lack discernment.
Marjorie and Pence’s staff stopped a report on Planned Parenthood showing they broke the law thousands of times in the 2010s by refusing to report underage girls sex abuse victims from getting to President Trump in early 2020.
The investigator who made the report sent to to Don Jr and Eric, while a megadonor sent it to the Trump campaign. In early October 2020 President Trump said in World Net Daily he would have Planned Parenthood prosecuted if the info was true. The Donald won again, and Pence lost.
But stolen elections have consequences.
President Trump would have put PP out of business like the Treasury Department put Al Capone out of business.
Abortion might be legal, but covering up for sex offenders is not. The investigator, whose grandfather arrested Jack McGurn, Al Capone’s enforcer who masterminded the Valentines Day massacre, followed the Eliot Ness/Frank WIlson model to go after PP. he found a law they were breaking and showed how often they broke it.
The investigator told me state governments who fought him the hardest on releasing info about mandated reporting statewide were Texas, Florida, and Ohio. Swamp GOPers run those states.
He said California officials released him the info, and it showed PP reported at most 2% of all girls 15 or younger brought to PP facilities in that state for birth control, VD treatment, and abortions. The rapists are usually Mom’s bed partners or girls; stepbrothers or someone else in their circle of family and acquaintences (teacher, coach, youth minister).
“… to those evengelicals who lack discernment.”
This lies at the root of all manner of evil. Today the term “evangelical” has lost its original meaning and now encompasses all kinds of religious irrationality and heresy.
The fall of the mainline denominations in Europe and America during the early to mid-20th century to modernism which led to liberalism is the downfall of Western Civilization generally and our once great republic specifically.
Mega churches are nothing but greedy, self involved commercial corporations who preach a watered down gospel of go along and get along, with the goal of keeping the seats filled and the tithes continuing to flow into the coffers.In the 60’s and 70’s, The Beetles were powerful influencers who broke cultural barriers, making immorality and foreign, non-christian religions and occult practices acceptable. Today’s 45 and under crowd have no idea how much they participate in satanic/witch craft practices on a daily basis bc these things have saturated society and become the norm…Plus the media/ social pressure of “your children” will be deprived if they are not indoctrinated.
Excellent and insightful article as usual. But the deep dig into Loeffler could have been compacted into one sentence for me:
“In 2012, Mrs. Loeffler donated $750,000 to Mitt Romney’s Super PAC.”
To this old paleo-conservative Republican the very mention of Mittens Romney causes my spine to stiffen and my ears to burn. To me he is the epitome of all that is evil and corrupt in the GOPe.
Voltaire said it best: “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Another shout-out to “my” governor, Brian Kemp. What a ducktard.
Kemp owed money. Loeffler and hubs paid the debt. Kemp appointed her bc he was told to do that. GA senators are elected on a rotation basis. However, bc Kemp did what he did rather than hold a snap election that spring when Isakson “suddenly” stepped down bc of health reasons aka he wanted to stay alive, both Loeffler and Perdue were running in November, 2020. IMHO, Perdue was “dialed out” by the Rat GA SoS and Loeffler “lost” to a dem candidate which changed the balance in the Senate. Also, bc Perdue lost, he could not vote in the Senate on January 6th. His commision ran out on January 3rd. Despite all that Trump did for her, Loeffler distainfully voted against him. Wicked, wicked people.
BTW, when Perdue, Loeffler and Pence were coming to Savannah, Ga to campaign in GA Senate run-off election in 2020, Kemp’s future son-in-law was driving to the Savannah Airport to pick up Perdue and Loeffler when the kid’s vehicle mysteriously blew up on the highway. I mean fireball blew up. This was around the time that Trump was trying to get Kemp to NOT sign off on the GA 2020 election results. The message to Kemp was clear, “if we can get to this kid, we can get to you.” Kemp signed off. A couple of weeks later, the lead crash investigator of that accident “suddenly” committed suicide. His friends and family were totally shocked! I’m sure it was a coincidence.
As an elected Republican County Central Committeeman in Ohio, I can tell you for a surety that the GOPe in Ohio is just as bad and dishonest as the national party. We are in a constant fight here to change our State Party leadership because of the same dirty tricks by them in our state legislature as we have been witnessing nationally. We have bills stalled out here by our Republican leaders in our legislature to get bills passed on the 1st and 2nd Amendments that restrict the Federal Government from pushing their will against the Ohio voters and our Constitution. They are backstabbing LIARS that cannot be trusted, and we are trying hard to rid ourselves of those GOPe Liars. They constantly worked against those of us in my county to the point of censoring us in our own county system. That is the reason that I never ran again for the office I was in because of it, out of total frustration with them. It needs corrected. Keep replacing them, they DO NOT represent us in any way.
…”first loser status…”–too funny!
I’m life long Cleveland.
