In the era where they refuse to accept their irrelevance, billionaires and their political money are easy parted. So goes the game of grift amid the professional political class when contrast against the power of We The People. It’s actually quite funny to watch and doesn’t annoy me one bit.
Charles Koch, a man of notorious disposition who loves open borders and multinational trade – which puts him on the outside of the America First movement, had previously pledged to spend $70 million (through his Americans For Prosperity political action committee) to remove President Trump. Today, Charles Koch selected Nikki Haley over Ron DeSantis to be the vessel for his effort.
Via Daily Mail – The conservative U.S. political network headed by billionaire Charles Koch on Tuesday endorsed Nikki Haley for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, saying she was the best candidate to beat President Joe Biden next year.
It is the latest boost for the former South Carolina governor who has seen her stock rise with strong debate performances and improving poll numbers.
Her traditional conservative positions also align with the Koch network, which uses its money to push for tax cuts and less government regulation.
Setting out its reasons, the group said beating former President Donald Trump in the primaries was a top priority.
‘Between her surging to second place in the polls since August and being well-positioned amongst supporters of the other candidates, she is in a strong position to gather more support,’ said Emily Seidel, a senior adviser to the Koch group’s Americans for Prosperity Action, in a memo. (read more)
Be of good cheer; this endorsement by Charles Koch is actually quite funny. Considering that Koch previously supported Ken Cuccinelli, we can imagine the big sad in the DeSantis camp. lolol
Meanwhile, in the world of reality, here’s a summary of the latest polling.

Ain’t life a peach?
Best election year ever!
It is really a tragedy that these Billions of dollars are wasted on frivolous campaigns that will go nowhere. Think about if just 25% of all that wasted money was spent on something positive and productive what could be accomplished.
Instead it is all wasted do to greed, and as all the great societies before us have fallen do to greed history will probably repeat itself again.
One primary mission of wealth is to perpetuate wealth through control of the machine that builds and protects it. Since we’re a nation of laws and no longer the wild west, wealth accomplishes this by buying the government to do its bidding. Government enforcers are more organized and better funded than any private army a wealthy person could raise.
We knuckle under to their tyranny out of fear of the enforcers and fear of poverty, disease and death. We’ve seen all four markedly during the Covid operation.
I agree with your premise and say it silently to myself every time there’s a political campaign. In my view it’s a colossal waste of resources. That’s our culture. Can we change it? IDK. Our Founders tried.
Private individuals cannot put you in jail for not using their product. But if the private individuals co-opt the government, they can attack their competition and mandate and coerce you to buy/use their product. Owning the government is a fantastic investment.
The medical/pharmaceutical lobby found that out.
The older I get the less I fear poverty, disease and death.
I am a childless widow with little to lose.
Kinda liberating.
History always repeats itself.v&
They can suggest all they want about who they think should be the VP but lately I believe P.T has been saying he has already chosen his people and not one of them was Nicky Halley so please They are not going to force President Trump to do anything this time that he does not want to do and that means taking the People that the establishment wants him to use.. Not going to happen this time around He knows what he is doing this time according to her though she is running for President and will over take P,T before the primaries are over and she will win the nomination not going to happen but great dreams which will fail in the end.
She is not going to be VP.
I loathe her so much I would abstain if she were added to the ticket (which I know will not happen).
No, she is still 30 points behind President Trump in NC so I don’t see how she thinks that the other states are going
to get her a big boost and move her ahead of President trump. She is no more likeable than Ron Desantis
Praying that’s true. I just have this feeling that something big is afoot and we need to get in front of it
Round and round the bullcrap goes, Where it stops, Nobody knows.
Koch is proof that you don’t need to be smart to be rich.
What’s even funnier is that there’s not a single person except Koch smiling in that picture. Not one. Even Nikki is forcing it. 😂 No one is happy. I hope they choke on it. 😂
Ever wonder why you only see Mitt in a Skirt in front of a handful of people?
Because that’s all she’s got, or they would show us more.
One understands the political motivation for Repubs to slow walk the various Biden impeachment scenarios. Why interrupt the top Dem so obviously destroying the country? Let them self destruct and we know who can and will clean up this disgusting mess.
Not the Republican elites.
They were complicit in getting us into this mess.
If Nikkicon Haley was to becone the nominee I will quit the Stupid Party. For good.
I already vow to abstain after 2024. I will vote for a referendum here and there and that is it.
I have never felt less representation in my government, as an Eagle Scout and veteran, in my life. As far as these ratbastards are concerned, I am an outlaw. A domestic threat. I wonder if the toilet paper rolls in DC are small copies of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution? They all laugh when they flush, or morel likely when their staff flushes for them.
Nikki is a joke. She is demanding that President Trump debate her to exchange ideas. She is a proven liar. “I wouldn’t run against President Trump.” Nothing she says means anything. We have President Trump’s actual performance to judge whether he would make a good President. She has a script written by the uniparty. Then she complains that she is a better choice because chaos follows him. It sure does because President Trump is a threat to the uniparty. The chaos has to do with fake criminal charges and constant sabotage by people who pretended to be loyal to him. Nikki is not a threat to the uniparty. She is the uniparty. Unbelievable.
President Trump was proven as a successful President. When you realize that almost none of the departments reporting to him actually reported to him, it is a miracle that he succeeded so well. You had the FBI colluding with big tech. You had Homeland Security trying to make him lose the election. You had CDC and FDA lying about a cure and the vaccine. We find out more and more about the treason of Bill Barr and General Milley. Imagine if President Trump could actually run the country. Not only this country would be great, but also the rest of the world. Hopefully, even Ireland.
Globalist billionaires moving on to plan B. What’s plan C?
The new pneumonia being tested in China right now.
i’m sure the great CREATOR’ is chuckling a little today … puny mankind … created , trying to play god … how sad that humanity … created in ‘HIS’ divine image thinks that we have any control over who will be the leader of this sick , twisted , degenerate cesspool of a nation … it will be ‘HIS’ choice … playing by ‘HIS’ rules … and biblical prophecy will be fulfilled … bringing this sick nation … finally to it’s end … ( see the roman empire and it’s demise for that educational lesson … peasants … and fellow sinners … )
Wasted money
Nikki is a ” listless vessel”.
Koch couldn’t get McCain or Romney elected. He’s not going to unseat Trump.
Those big dollahs Cock throws to losers like Nikky aren’t wasted at all. His accountants have ways of writing off every loss as a net gain. Big bucks buys big loopholes that stay well-hidden from everyone but those who make those holes appear. It’s very hush-hush.
Yeah, just give the crazy-eyes blood-lust monster access to The Button. What could go wrong?
What can I say? I certainly hope he dies soon. Hope it hurts.
All these actions by the donors who are giving away money, that would be considered a lifetime fortune to the average person, to these Rinos and absolute wannabe loser candidates in an effort to eliminate DJT and MAGA from the political landscape, clearly demonstrates that they consider their return on investment to be significantly greater by maintaining the current totalitarian policies aimed at the demise of the US citizen and continued destruction of the Constitution and this Constitutional Republic. That said, these individuals, from donors to candidates and other like minded ilk, are absolute enemies and the antithesis of what the Founding Fathers put forth and envisioned for America.
The greed among the wealthy and politicians in America is stifling. The question is how can we take back control? Is COS the answer?
