Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo was very visibly entrenched in her effort to defend House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the criticism of Representative Matt Gaetz. During the combative interview, Ms. Bartiromo showed a transparent agenda to support the professionally Republican GOPe perspective.
Today, following a considerable amount of backlash, and eyes-wide-open to the motives and intents of Bartiromo, she attempts cleanup by repeating the phrase, “democracy is messy” as a justification for her support of McCarthy Inc. The video of her effort today is below; however, before getting to that cleanup effort, let me just explain why Gaetz is majority correct on the bigger picture.
The House Government Weaponization Committee is a complete sham – a ruse, a sound stage of actors and political performers who have no intention on actually exposing the government weaponization. Gaetz focused on the failures of the House Oversight Committee (chaff and countermeasures committee) and gave examples of how they never subpoenaed Hunter Biden as one clear indicator of their intent. I have written about this extensively {GO DEEP}, and the Oversight committee’s lack of action is not even close to a surprise, regardless of whether McCarthy and Bartiromo want to keep pretending.
The bigger let down is found in the lack of action by the Govt Weaponization Committee. Let me explain how simple this is to see using an example I shared with former congressman Devin Nunes. Sometimes litmus tests really are good for this purpose. The problem we have is accepting the reality of what they mean.
Back in February 2019, around the time when Bill Barr came into the picture, everyone was excited about the potential for accountability. An honest investigation that would reveal and expose the corrupt nature of the DC system, so that a public would be aware, accountability would be metered, and a total restructuring of the corrupt systems could take place. I was not one of those people.
I accept the visibility of corruption through the prism of simple questions. Everyone knew Robert Mueller was installed as a tool to cover up the preexisting corruption and simultaneously keep Trump under attack. No one in Washington DC did not know this. Everyone knew. Despite that non-pretending admission and reality, not a single person ever said the Mueller probe was a farce. Not a single congressional member ever dared say Robert Mueller was part of the corrupt system.
Instead, every single DC participant, politician and Trump appointee, said Robert Mueller was an “honorable man.” He wasn’t, and they all knew that.
You cannot be an honorable man with the intent of delivering a corrupt and fraudulent outcome. These two things are not compatible. Yet, they all collectively pushed that bullshit opinion for two+ years, including Bill Barr.
Once you understand the dynamic inside that simple and honest Robert Mueller litmus test, a litmus test this is still very valid to this day, then you realize the scale of the corruption we are talking about. It’s either active, passive or willfully blind corruption; but regardless of variety it’s all still corruption.
There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of, “I can’t see what’s happening”, because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate.
“I can’t see it”, just doesn’t cut it.
NONSENSE! Most people can see it. Most are just choosing to reconcile the irreconcilable, because it is more comforting to ignore the truth of it. Just be honest. For many people avoidance has become a survival mechanism.
It’s more along the lines of, “I see what’s happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing, and if I admit that I see it, I will become responsible in a way that I am not if I keep pretending I can’t see it or hear it or maybe I don’t understand it.”
Kevin McCarthy’s Lucy has unlimited footballs.
Admit it or keep pretending.
The choices are ours.
Personally, I will not pretend.
If we all stop pretending, eventually the DC house of cards collapses.
So that sets the cornerstone. Now, let’s move forward almost 4 years. [DEEP BREATH] Now we have the House Select Committee to Investigate the Weaponization of Government. They’ve had some hearings on Twitter Files, they’ve had some hearings on other ancillary matters, but absolutely nothing has come from it.
Before outlining the simple ‘how do I know this is futile’, the nerve that Matt Gaetz touches so necessarily, let me first be brutally honest.
Jordan is corrupt; not in a way of lying, cheating or stealing, but rather corrupt in the same familiar manner that generates all of the frustration we feel. Corrupt in the sense of satiating the masses while being disingenuous in the extreme of creating ZERO accountability.
Speaker Kevin McCarthy uses Jim Jordan for exactly this institutional preservation purpose, and Jordan knows it…. and willingly goes along with it…. and willingly plays the role of “anger manager” on behalf of his leadership.
The “how” is simple. If the Govt Weaponization Committee was not futile, or created simply to satiate a mass of angry conservative/MAGA voters, they would be taking simple actions to expose the issues.
SIMPLE ACTIONS – Like holding depositions and questioning people we know are Deep State actors who construct the weaponized processes. Holding depositions to ask very simple and pragmatic questions of people like Mary McCord, John Carlin, ICIG Michael Atkinson, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Tashina Guahar, or any member of the Robert Mueller special counsel like Andrew Weissmann, Brandon Van Grack, Aaron Zebly, Jeannie Rhee, etc. Or Mark Elias, Glenn Simpson, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, or even former SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.
The House Govt Weaponization committee could issue subpoenas to anyone and everyone who was a participant in all of the previously known corrupt endeavors, questioned them with very specific questions about all of the known activity that stemmed from within those corrupt practices…. and then simply PUBLISH THE TRANSCRIPTS.
Imagine the newsworthy discussion, even if it was ignored by mainstream media, as a result of each deposition transcript being released every 48 hours providing a detailed and documented, under oath, attestation to the activity that took place and is still taking place. Imagine the scale of sunlight that simple process would provide. Imagine the tremors in DC as each participant showed up to deliver their statements under oath.
This is not a complicated process, but they want us to pretend it is.
When Matt Gaetz articulated the simple process of putting each appropriations bill on the floor for a funding vote, it too is not a complicated process. However, the Kevin McCarthy’s, Jim Jordan’s and Maria Bartiromo’s would like us to pretend that it is.
I do not know if Matt Gaetz is the worthy Ty Cobb of Republican politics or not, but I do know he is currently one of the only people that is not pretending. That elevates him in my view. Oh sure, he’ll probably acquiesce to the pressures and sell out just like the rest of them, but right now – in his best form – Matt Gaetz has dropped the pretense, and that has sent the machinery of the DC Republican system into fits of apoplexy. Good.
I’m at the point of frustration with this nonsense where apoplexy, anger and visible ‘losing their shit’ makes me smile.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.
Here’s Bartiromo trying to hide the strings…
Excellent, level-headed response from Maria Bartiromo after yesterday's tense exchange with Matt Gaetz. pic.twitter.com/6hyVr2RxwO

Democracy might be messy, Maria, but we’re a republic. And therein lies the problem.
the bottom line frustration is “what can we do about it?”
I just cancelled my order with the Adult Novelty Store for a full size Maria Bartiromo blow-up doll in a red dress.
Sundance is correct on Jordan….add Grassly to the mix as well . We all see it and want to do something about it but the 81 million votes Joey got also shows our votes do not count .
You know she must have gotten a lot of flak from her Gaetz interview for her to keep bringing it up!
Good! She has no more credibility! Too b ad!
Amazing, isn’t it. Questions begging for answers is she? When all the while she knows the answers. This is always, all the time Kabuki theatre to keep the masses in line. Same old trope: Republicans want to control Democrat spending. Except the process employed belies the trope. And so Maria engages in obfuscation and hyperbole to mask the reality of the Uni-Party or as Mike Lee calls it “the Firm”. Sorry Maria, your mask is off and cannot be put back on. Reminds me of Humpty, Dumpty.
Maria was messy. After Gaetz owned her.
The ‘wins’? The ‘victories’?
She is clearly just another useful idiot.
My take on Maria is that she suspects the worst but tries to act like she doesn’t see it. She is a working class TV personality who certainly didn’t get her own show because she is another pretty face. Maybe, if a person like her has a greater fear of losing their job than the pretty people, she can be excused for acting like she can’t see everything to save her job despite ratings that don’t impress the top dogs at FOX. I feel sorry for her, because she is afraid she will not be able to find a better job if she loses this one.
As a Congressman, Matt Gaetz needs to be gathering supporters instead of embarrassing honest people because they are afraid to face the realities that he sees. We are the tough people who maybe don’t have as much to lose by facing the truth head on. I can do this because I am long retired and my fears of failure are way behind me. And I thank God for helping me get to this point. I think there is hope for Maria, but she needs more time to reconcile with her own fears.
If she is a useful idiot, she can’t be a person who knows all the answers and tries to hide from them. I don’t know who is wrong, but somebody is expressing vitriol towards Maria that is not over the target.
Working class TV personality? Whaaaat?
True the sentiment, but her parents at least were. We lived 6 blocks from their restaurant in Brooklyn and she’d work there some nights and weekends. Back then a neighborhood girl. Good looking too. My brother even asked her out one time, but later told me neither of them followed up. Her father and mother were real neighborhood people and those here that lived the old neighborhood/s Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens know what I mean. On her looks and at least moderate intelligence became a product of Wall St. and then Comcast. Like that.
Maria is CFR.
She has and knows all the answers.
I watched people who were afraid of the truth about her say she was just there as a media personality observing.
You are not let into Council on Foreign Relations meetings unless you are an active participant.
Your true usefulness to our society is immediately tainted from then on.
yes of course, lets gather all our enemies into the fold and call them friends. feels great, dont even need no KY.
Talk about a USEFUL idiots here is Unit: CASSIDY HUTCHINSON. Remember this one? She should have been prosecuted for perjury, but also walked it. They must have this Country run broke. The neo-marxists and normie DOPES likely swallow this too. I don’t get what Matt G would be doing with this slob to begin with, but this is RICH as well as timed.
Lol…did they grab the steering wheel too?
$2 Trillion a year in debt??!!
Notice how the MSM buries that?? Of the people I listen to, only Colonel McGregor mentions our massive debt, but even he doesn’t give the figure!!
Totally agree, SD. Gaetz is one of the few on the Right side.
lol democracy is messy…. not even a nice try Bartiromo. No one’s buying it.
We are a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Wrong again, Maria.
I noticed that too. It’s all part of the brainwashing. Commentators and politicians call us a Democracy, all the time, for the specific purpose of ignoring the Constitution. It’s been going on for decades.
To my knowledge Hillsdale college is the only college that requires a class about the Constitution and requires a test and passing grade on it to graduate.
There is an even larger litmus test.
Every bureaucrat, Congressmen, state or local person or any other citizen who pays lip service, even by refraining to call it for what it is……to the fraud of 2020 is illegitimate by default.
Maria doesn’t like ‘cleaning up’. Quite shrill. Quite curt.
I would say the room is still quite messy.
Nobody likes realizing they made a mistake.
Ha
By her tone, I don’t think she realized she made a mistake.
I’m convinced the reason fighters like Jordan turn to mush is the deep state has something on them. Listen to Sheryl Atkison talk about being spied on, and she discovered that the FBI was planning to plant child porn on her husband’s computer. They have the power and ability to manufacture any sort of dirt on even the cleanest of us. There are trillions at stake. Pray for Gaetz that he will be kept safe from their evil slanderous blackmailing ways.
Didn’t they already try that with Jordan? Shut him down, not going to risk life, family and gulag
Which makes Gaetz at this point pretty fearless.
They tried and are still trying on him
Godspeed Matt
You battle a corrupt system by withdrawing your consent. You cannot reform a corrupt system by participating in it.
That’s why Trump skipping the debates is important. He’s refusing to participate in the corrupt activities. He’s supposed to drop out of the race when indicted. 4x in, he’s way ahead.
Gaetz is guilty of the crime of noticing. Simply noticing is a way to withdraw your consent. Bud Light’s woes are people withdrawing their consent.
Imagine what 100,000,000 people refusing to participate in the charade of modern American “democracy” – defined as the Government telling the people what their allowed choices will be – would look like.
Just think if we could get only one million people to cut their cable/dish?
That would be a huge way to withdraw our consent.
Already happened – cable cut happened but a million more would be nice. We’ll do better than cable cutting, for withdrawal of consent, before this is over.
Yep. We are cable free. I have an antenna if I want to catch the local broadcast. Commercial free streaming, and I can pick and choose what I want to watch or fast forward over.
Here in Murderappolis MN the broadcast channels all support the leftist talking points. At with sat I can watch Newsmax at least for now. I also would be lost without some good alien and bigfoot shows. You can keep the ghost stuff.
I have been saying that for 8 years. That’s when I cut the cable cord. Forever. Please ,people cut those cords. I don’t miss the propaganda at all.
I see my comment was taken down, so I will try again. I cut the cable cord 8 years ago. I refuse to watch propaganda. Please people, cut that cord.
And yet, Trump tunes in to what his media detractors have to say about him so he can rebut.
Tuning out is not the solution. I get the economic angle to the thought process.
Situational awareness requires monitoring friend and foe. Otherwise, informed decisions are not made – or one defaults decision-making to others.
There are different paths to “fight the power”. Shooting oneself in the foot doesn’t strike me as one of the better options. Monitor the folks who are trying to enslave you /us- it helps with meting out accountability when the moment comes. Turn the surveillance system on its head. What, after all, do you think Sundance has been doing?
We need a state legislature (border state like texas) to pass a law that says all federal taxes need to flow through their state coffers first DIRECTLY before being sent to DC … If regular appropriations aren’t going to occur.
The states then can each decide if/when money gets sent to DC, once appropriation bills are in place well in advance of each fiscal year.
We The People need to use the Article V Convention of States to repeal the Federal Income Tax, stop the Feds from money-creation, and severely shrink government back to its Constitutionally-mandated size, scope, and cost. Let the Feds beg the States for funding.
I’ve read nothing to suggest that all Gaetz has done is notice. What I’ve read so far here and other places is he’s actively gathering support from the Freedom Caucus to hold McCarthy’s feet to fire and make him stick to what he promised, to get their continuing support.
I’m quoting from this to send to rep, tho I think my emails go straight to trash as she never gives a “real” answer/response.
Same thing here in respect to bona fide action/responses from elected officials.
Congressman doesn’t want my vote? Fine.
Congressman doesn’t care if I share my experiences in my various social circles? Fine.
I sent it to my rep this morning
Maria to producer: “I wonder if they bought it”?
Producer to Maria: “Tell me again when your current contract expires…”
As long as Jim Jordan continues to write and send “sternly worded demand letters” to various and sundry entities, he appears to be doing something
Bread and Circuses
Jordan is the new Gowdy, without the roosterhead haircut.
All hat, no cattle.
Will Jordan soon announce he will not seek reelection and join Fox?
All talk, no subpoenas.
Took the words right out of my mouth! Or … er … keyboard!
The reason there’s an “impeachment inquiry” is that everyone on our side laughed at the GOP’s “outrage rants” last summer. Remember those? Lots of House members screaming at bureaucrats and John Durham’s laughable “strongly worded letter” testimony.
That’s supposed to drive fundraising. Boom! Bombshell!
Except everyone laughed because it was so transparently fake. And in the following months are any budgets justifiably smashed? Nope!
So they needed to up the ante to try and pretend harder.
All the usual stuff isn’t working.
Imagine 100,000,000 people refusing to participate in elections or show up for jury duty, or pulling all their money out of banks and 401Ks. Once people accept these things as a sick joke, like discovering their favorite TV program is a scam, they switch off.
The worst thing that can happen to the status quo is for people to switch off and withdraw their consent. This whole charade depends on people – us – to participate in it.
That’s why all y’all who watch Fox and use Twitter are part of the problem.
Serious non-consent doesn’t pay for criminal activity – Biden’s, obambam’s, DOJ, FBI, Pelosi, Milley’s, and on and on…
Jury duty refusal is decent non-consent. …not telling anyone what “to do” but suggesting strongly what not to do: don’t pay for your enemy to aggress you.
Yep, hence the impeachment inquiry. They desperate need to look like they’re doing something so that they don’t have to do the easy and obvious thing: gut budgets.
Yes, and they can send those fundraising mailers touting all of those “wins” Maria mentioned.
“Jim Jordan is corrupt” is a difficult one to swallow…
He’s all we’ve got frankly.
I don’t think he’s corrupt; he just needs to be tougher, not louder, and subpoena everyone… expose everyone; and shine the sunlight. I pray he will.
I respectfully disagree, Jim Jordan is Trey Gowdy 2.0.
Agree..100%…🇺🇸👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Perhaps a better word is “captured”; think of how captured so many doctors were during the Plandemic, unable to offer early treatment due to orders from above under the threat of losing their licenses to practice.
Only “we the people” reign above our reps..
There was a noticeable change in Jim Jordan’s aggressiveness toward the deep state after his nephew died in the car crash.
So much has gone on, but I remember Jordan was also touching a serious nerve and the crash happened immediately afterwards. Perhaps a fellow Treeper remembers what he was looking into.
I did a little digging myself.
Most of the following website’s account of what was going on at the time comports with my memory. It was during the Hillary investigation and his aggressive questioning of Rod Rosenstein.
https://neonnettle.com/news/4483-jim-jordan-s-nephew-killed-following-threats-to-expose-hillary-clinton-cover-up
The video at the link I posted of the questioning of Rosenstein has a great deal of non-pretending truth bombs by Jordan. Something happened to change him.
Well, coincidences abound when trying to hold Hillary accountable.
No subpoena is proof of being corrupt. Looking the other way while corruption is occurring is itself a form of corruption…you participate in the corruption by not exposing it.
Just like there are two kinds of lies – Commission and Omission.
Sometimes people may choose not to reveal certain information, which is called a lie of omission. A lie of omission is when someone intentionally withholds relevant information, leading the other person to believe something untrue. This type of deception can be just as harmful as a blatant lie, if not more so.
The key question is: “Is this U.S. representative for US or against US – the American people?”
The answer is: Watch the ACTIONS and ignore the WORDS.
Deceit lies in the WORDS of politicians.
If Jim Jordan is not ACTING on his words, ignore him.
Why “law” makers hide the corruption monster? Because they know the monster can turn on THEM.
This.
It takes courage to do what Gaetz, Boebert, Crane ,etc, are doing…
You bet! They are the Paul Revers of the 22nd Century! “One if by land, two if by sea.”
Sola Scriptura, The phrase sola scriptura is from the Latin: sola having the idea of “alone,” “ground,” “base,” and the word scriptura meaning “writings”—referring to the Scriptures. Sola scriptura means that Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christian. The Bible is complete, authoritative, and true. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). Anything else besides God’s word is from sinful men and women like you and me. Anything other than the Bible should be held up to what the Bible informs us.
Love warns,
Ignorance can’t,
and Evil won’t.
Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell have been the DNC’s/Uniparty 5th Column since they were first elected to Congress. Both need to be publicly shamed into resignation. I don’t know about you, but I will never give a dime to the Republicans Party apparatus, ever! These people are just as corrupt as the DNC, see Maria B for proof.
She’s right! Democracy is “messy”. Point of fact, it’s essentially mob rule, and further, it’s the reason the United States IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. News flash to Maria and seemingly the majority of the brain dead that inhibit this nation, our founders chose to establish a REPUBLIC, hence Franklin’s comment, “A Republic IF you can keep it.” IF Maria has trouble remembering this fact, I suggest she learn the Pledge of Allegiance so she can use it for a memory crutch. The good news is she only has to learn the first line: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands….
Sadly, most people in America can no longer comprehend what you are saying or even understand that their freedom literally depends upon it.
This fairly recent campaign mantra about “protecting our democracy” , “threat to democracy” goes far beyond the stark difference between a Republic and a Democracy. It is a sophisticated psychological operation to convince the herd to turn against anyone who speaks the truth of their impending enslavement.
It’s about “undemocratic behavior”, you see.
“A recent study by Krishnarajan (2022), offers yet a new and interesting perspective. In this work, Krishnarajan examines whether when citizens accept undemocratic behavior for political reasons, they do so with the acknowledgment that they are endorsing something undemocratic.”
What Exactly is a Threat to Democracy

This goes deeper into how Democracy as a “political method” long ago planned as the transition to totalitarianism in America.
Schumpeter, the New Deal, and Democracy
Joseph Schumpeter is known to American political scientists as the originator of an elite conception of democracy as a political “method,” a conception found in his Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy (1942). But I show in this paper that in Schumpeter’s study of the development of liberal capitalist societies, he also treated democracy as a socially transformative historical tendency, one of several that he thought were propelling such societies toward a form of “democratic” socialism.

Read the Federalist Papers.
It’s very clear the founding fathers assumed an informed public was a pre-requisite. There is also a lengthy discussion on how republican government is a necessary practical solution when governance covers a wide expanse of population and territory. In reality, it was a necessity to achieve buy-in to the Constitution given the need to placate parochial interests in Southern States. Centralization versus local (i.e., state) allocation of power has always been a preeminent tug-of-war for governance in our republic.
The Constitution is structured to allocate power centrally for common requirements (e.g., defense) and locally for everything else.
Thank you Old Dawg. I get tired of having to correct people of that fact.
Ben Franklyn was right. We couldn’t.
It started when some people convinced other people “we don’t talk about politics in polite company.” And the next thing you knew, “polite people” were ignored entirely. Meanwhile the left shamelessly, and with the permission of law enforcement, go about their way destroying and raging their way through the day as they systematically burn the whole thing down.
That is unless we get back to our Republic and participate in it. We’re not going to WISH them into do it. And we can’t “vote them out” unless we get involved in convincing people to run!
Your firs sentence really hits home. Politics is not about studying an esoteric subject that has no effect on your everyday lives. Our entire existence has become based on what government, state and national, do or don’t do in our everyday lives. What could be more important than discussing that.
Quite frankly, I don’t know how you don’t talk about it.
I hope everything is OK with Sundance and the site. The auto-generated articles did not appear (or are not appearing for me) and the last posting was here and that was yesterday. Just checked from another network and on another device and it’s the same. What goes on here?
Lately, they are taking EXTRAORDINARY measures to silence people.
Look again. This article was stickied (as others have been before) because of its importance. The daily threads are immediately below.
oh
I’m old enough to remember when appropriations were always voted on separately. The debated. Then passed. They continue to use the word omnibus as if they think the Omnibus Budget reconciliation bills actually work for We the People.
They were never meant to work in our favor. Only theirs.
Let’s keep up the pressure and insist on it and ultimately on a LAW that prevents hiding crap into it. No more clown world votes on 30,000 pages no one has or could read.
It is called “Regular Order” and you are correct. As part of the process, the Executive Branch submits its budget requests to Congress, in the form of a top level memorandum (think A109) from the Presidents top-level budgeting officer (think Steve Mnuchin), budget summaries, and detailed department and agency needs as required by current law as well as additional spending requests supporting the Presidents policies. Congress then holds hearings on those budget documents, supported by Congressional staffers having meetings with the heads of the departments and agencies and their budgeting and administration staffs (civil service Schedule C and senior employees). Congress also considers their operational needs and that of the court system of separately. As the process goes through House and Senate committees conducting budget reviews, the Executive Branch is regularly working with those committees to justify/fine tune the budget, with a final reconciliation by the House and Senate before sending the budget as a bill to the President for signature.
Importantly, all bills requiring funding must originate in the House of Representatives. Any House budget bill that is simply a framework which allows the Senate to insert the language and funding request is NOT “Regular Order” which is also true for budget requests under an Omnibus or Continuing Resolution.
For all the negatives assigned to the Carter Presidency, it must be said that two positive policies stand out, in my opinion. One resulted from the Butterworth Memorandum, resulting in President Carter’s decision that an agency could only hire a career conditional Civil Service employee after two such employees had left that service. A second, and more important policy, was Zero-based Budgeting (ZBB). Under ZBB, each agency and department had to justify their line items based on whether or not they would get the requested money, or some percentage above or below the last approved budget. Essentially, this affected the “normal process” in Congress of “Incremental Budgeting (funding)” and ensuing political arguments over the percent increase needed to operate the government. (By the way, under ZBB, the process of data gathering/sorting and use of on-line processing of the budget process became into use at an agency level, in the USCG (in Transportation at the time) and the Federal Railroad Administration of the same department.)
It should be noted, that throughout the calendar year, regardless of the fiscal year starting October 1 (having slid from July 1 years ago), the Federal government actually deals with ongoing issues related to three funding baselines/budget years, the “Regular Order” budgets being only one of them.
Too many people love money and power more than they fear the just desserts of their sins and corruption. And we all WILL get our just desserts. The good and evil alike will be judged, if not here then there, because we live in a universe of perfect justice. So, walk with the Lord; follow Him because He knows where He’s going.
Excellent article! They think we are stupid. Where’s the military on the border invasion?
Just a few weeks
To “slow the spread”
Or a few months or years…
Maria Bartiromo is a Young Global Leader of the WEF, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. From her own website, https://www.mariabartiromo.com/about.html:
“She is a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum. She is also a member of The Council on Foreign Relations,…”
Her performance on Sunday was to be expected.
The rule in the spiritual battle between Dark and Light is that the Dark always has to tell you what they are doing. And they do, we just have to dig for it.
Blah blah blah. She just threw a little bone out of the hole and kept on digging.
It can’t be unseen
Maria= Hannity
Jordan = Lindsey Graham
“Democracy is messy”, Maria?
Democracy is not only “messy,” it is an illegitimate form of government for a free people. That is why we are NOT a democracy, as much as the uniparty, of which Maria is a card-carrying member, continue to push that point every time they open their pieholes.
“Democracy” is part of the ruse – those strings are also very visible.
In ALL of these broadcast and cable “news shows” TIME is THE key factor.
Everything about the shows is focused on TIME, and the ‘value’ they put on “air time”; my point being its significant that Maria and her producers deemed it important enough, that she take up several minutes of ‘air time’ to try to “clean up” her mess.
She got into the business, as a FINANCIAL analyst, and then morphed into political coverage.
Are we really expected to believe she was unaware of how truly meaningless a Govt. shutdown IS, until it was pointed out to her?
Puhlease! Still, and reiterating that she and her producers REALISED she needed to expend valuable air time, to try to clean up her gaffe, where she exposed her true nature, is telling.
If indeed she IS “evolving”, well great Maria, but evolve faster, cause your still a long way from being where you NEED to be, to be “an important voice”.
Eyes becoming open across the board. Of course this site has helped me greatly and maybe other sites.
But, I’m also wondering about the shear number of fake committees and activities so quickly. Before the last few years there were primarily 3 covering about 10 or so years. The tax/IRS targeting conservatives investigation, Fast and Furious, and Benghazi.
Enough time lag between each to where we all/many/me just thought they were trying and being hindered/stymied.
Now, because of Trump upsetting everything (thankfully), we have had 4-5 cover up investigations in about 4 years. Enough quick enough……from both sides for more folks to start…….wondering about things. Asking questions and pushing back.
Maria Bartiromo and Matt Gaetz had a passionate discussion, each listened to the other, and neither walked away. Bartiromo later admitted her position was flawed, that Gaetz made good points. A CNN host would have ended the interview at the first sign of pushback. A Dem would have walked out.
I have thought, for a long time, CTH is the only (let me repeat: THE ONLY) public media publication that presents the actual truth of what’s going on!!
I like this guy’s substack. He has some really good topics and information. These are some depressing statistics in this article. Comments are good too. Shared from a friend on another blog.

Citizen Free Press & it’s gaslighting propaganda figurehead Shane are the enemy.
This tweet is just one of a million examples. PLEASE PEOPLE, don’t give that site any clicks. Let it fade into obscurity like the old Drudge Report did.
Maria is way past her shelf life.
Retirement calls.
For hundreds of years our country has had a required budgeting process and for hundreds of years it has been followed. Then The Kenyan came along and we have lived by continuing resolutions ever since. Continuing resolution upon continuing resolution upon continuing resolution.

Yeah Maria, you know THIS MUST END.
We know it. We’ve known it snce these games began. We all have to balance our budgets and get them in on time. In NO company in America would this be alowed to go on longer than Hunter’s tax evasion.
It is incomprehensible to the American people who pay the salaries of way too many gubt employees that those employees cannot balance their budgets or get them in on time. Incomprehensible!
Even a short shutdown for them will be nothing compared to what they did to us for well over 2 years, in the name of “19”. As far as we are concerned, they’ve been shut down since 2020 anyway, because nothing meaningful is happening anyway, especially not in D.C.
All they are doing is a lot of conniving to stab us in the back again, starting with gubt censorship and cancellation.
Not pretending here. The covid hoax and lack of any accountability proves the corruption is complete and the “holy” constitution is meaningless.
Government by and for the elites and they are all paid actors to keep the plebes fooled.
She has a similar speech impediment to BabaWawa.
Just an observation. Why is it so hard to upvote. I have to press a few times before it upvotes, and when I move on to the next comment, the upvote is gone on the last one. Just dissapeared before my eyes. Why?
Weird… this one was post3d (again) above the fold for me
And then it wasn’t
Every comment I made on here is gone. Now ask me if I want to pay for the premium package on here. No thank you. You lost a potential subscriber.
I see your comment.
Do you want to pay for the premium package??
There is no premium package and subscription
Debra, do social media much? Too many to keep track of which one you’re looking at? Could you have made comments somewhere else?
Yup, Jim Jordan’s my Rep and I’ve finally come to the same conclusion as Sundance. No way to figure out why Jordan is like he is but I’m beyond disappointment and into the stage of acceptance. He used to be all talk and nothing to show for it now he’s into “acceptable talk”, where you can be sure there will be nothing to show for it.
There’s a reason Maria still has a job at Fox.
The entire FOX network has been part of the lame stream media propaganda against America. Letting Conservatives think they were being represented by what we now know are RINOs.
If you are still working for FOX you have sold out America.
DO NOT WATCH COMMUNIST PROPOGANDA!!
Both parties are so corrupt that it’s mainstream and not even questioned anymore.
How confident are you that the 2024 election will be legit?
Vacate the Chair is my mantra.
It’s astounding that they think we can be bought with a few committees. ;(
