Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Fox News broke up the extensive interview with President Trump into two parts.  The second part aired tonight with Brett Baier {Direct Rumble Link}.

In this segment President Trump takes some of the 2024 criticism head-on and does a great job.  From the economy and energy policy to the disloyal perspective of Ron DeSantis, to the COVID-19 vaccine criticism, to the social and cultural issues, Trump hits on all cylinders. WATCH:

For episode 5, Tucker Carlson again uses the Twitter platform to showcase a monologue outlining the dual justice dynamic amid the Biden family. {Direct Rumble Link}.  WATCH:

Question:  How can the DOJ possibly prosecute Joe & Hunter Biden for foreign bribes and money laundering, when the entire purpose of the Foreign Relations Committees in DC is to facilitate foreign bribes and money laundering for congress?

As a career DC person once mentioned to me:  Why does the Legislative branch, both the House and Senate, have a foreign relations committee, when all foreign policy is created by the executive branch?  Contemplating the question, I responded by referencing the constitutional role of the House in spending money and various nations requesting financial support from the USA.  The response I received was a simple one word, “exactly.”

If a foreign government wants money from congress, they play the game of hiring a family member, or giving a paid contract to the business of a family member, of a politician on either committee.  That is the primary function of the committee in both chambers; to ensure the equitable distribution of funds to the families of congress. That’s also the reason why Mitt Romney spent $10 million running for an elected office that pays $300k per year, and why Mitch McConnell assigned Mitt Romney to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

When he was a senator, Joe Biden was Chairman of what Senate committee?

Yup, you guessed it, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Today he testified in classified setting before the House intelligence committee.  Tomorrow is the public version.

Special Counsel John Durham is scheduled to be questioned tomorrow by members of the House Judiciary Committee in a public setting.  The hearing is scheduled for 9:00am ET, Rayburn Office Building [ DETAILS HERE ] – “The hearing will focus on the report of Special Counsel John Durham that examined the origins and justifications of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Crossfire Hurricane investigation against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.”

Questions have been passed along, and hopefully this summary is timed to avoid giving Mary McCord and her Lawfare team prep-time to construct their defensive talking points.

[Durham Report Here] Questions like:

(1) Mr. Durham, having spent four years investigating, researching, reviewing, interviewing and pouring through files related to the overall Trump-Russia collusion story, your report -like the report of Robert Mueller that preceded it- found no substantive predicate existed to ever open an investigation of candidate Donald Trump for any efforts with Russians or foreign actors to interfere in the 2016 election.  As a result of your time and diligence, you are likely the #1 subject matter expert in the entire series of events.

♦ Question: In your opinion, was President Obama aware there was no reason in 2016 to investigate Donald Trump, who then became President-elect Trump?

(2) You note in your report that you never re-reviewed any of the material evidence that formed the baseline for the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

♦ Question: Why not?

♦ Question: Who made the decision not to review the 2-year Mueller probe activity as part of your investigative review?  Why was that decision made?

We are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance. We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal. Quit worrying.

This is the big one.  The Economic Policy is the distinct and singular policy at the core of Make America Great Again.  The MAGA coalition is centered around the principles of America First economics, and Ron DeSantis has just admitted he does not support them.

CTH has long warned about Ron DeSantis’ economic policy being driven by the donors who fund him.  When he was in congress, DeSantis voted in support of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) for President Obama, and DeSantis voted in support of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement (TPP).

These are the trade policies supported by the Club for Growth who was congressman DeSantis’ biggest funder.  The Club for Growth also held the pre-announcement donor fundraiser in February of this year in support of DeSantis ’24.

The Wall Street billionaire, hedge fund, multinational corporate alliance, that assembles at Sea Island and funds Ron DeSantis, are fully against America First trade and economic policies.  DeSantis has just made an admission of his alignment with that corporate “globalist” outlook to a private confab of donors in California.

The DeSantis campaign is in full panic and retreat mode now that his establishment position is exposed.  The statements during the secret meeting were leaked.

[CALIFORNIA] […] The Republican snuck in and out of the Coalinga landmark undetected by the public nor the media, by design. He flew in and out of the nearby Coalinga airport, ushered to the back loading docks by unmarked Fresno County Sheriff’s vehicles.

The Central Valley lunch stop for 60 donors — paying $3,300 — was in between a breakfast event in Sacramento, and an evening in southern California.  The only indication that something special was going on was a “private event” sign. Most of the questions for the security guard related to the location of the restrooms.

The Wall Street Journal confirms earlier independent reporting today that three Chinese scientists from the Wuhan lab fell ill in November 2019 with a likely COVID-19 viral transmission.  WSJ writes, “the researchers’ names were noted last week in an article in Public, which publishes on the Substack platform, and were independently confirmed by the Journal.”

WSJ – […] “Ben Hu, a scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who had done extensive laboratory research on how coronaviruses infect humans, was identified in U.S. intelligence reports as one of the researchers who became ill in November 2019 with symptoms that American officials said were consistent with either Covid-19 or a seasonal illness. None of the researchers died.

[…] The current and former U.S. officials told the Journal the three who fell ill were Hu; Yu Ping, a Chinese scientist who wrote a 2019 thesis on SARS-related coronaviruses found in bats; and another scientist named Yan Zhu.

[…] November 2019 is roughly when many epidemiologists and virologists think SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic, first began circulating around Wuhan, a city in central China. China has said that the first confirmed case was a man who fell ill on Dec. 8, 2019.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware has given a sweet deal to Hunter Biden. Joe Biden’s son will plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, and a federal gun charge. The gun charge will be deferred by a division program where Hunter promises to be a better person. The two tax charges will result in a slap on the wrist.

According to a statement from Hunter Biden’s attorney, “With the announcement of two agreements between my client, Hunter Biden, and the Unites States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware, it is my understanding that the five-year investigation into Hunter is resolved.”

“Hunter will take responsibility for two instances of misdemeanor failure to file tax payments when due pursuant to a plea agreement. A firearm charge, which will be subject to a pretrial diversion agreement and will not be the subject of the plea agreement, will also be filed by the Government. I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life. He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward.”

A White House spokesperson said, “The President and First Lady love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life. We will have no further comment.” (link)
