In this video [see below], presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is essentially describing the “splitter strategy” CTH has discussed and outlined in granular detail for years. Essentially, a process where the billionaire donors, hedge fund managers, corporations and multinationals – what we define as the Sea Island group (SIG), control the private corporation known as the RNC.
On this facet of his commentary, Ramaswamy is correct. However, from there he gets things wrong.
Yes, as we have said, the Chris Christie exit is part of the continuum. Remember, within mutually aligned motives the candidate doesn’t need specifically to be an active participant; they only need to be looking out for their individual interests, usually financial.
When the ‘time to exit’ tap on the shoulder is received, it comes via a key backer saying, “there’s no longer a path.” The money stops, and the candidate suspends their campaign. That’s how the process works.
Did Christie get that tap on the shoulder, at the specific time needed to retain the “never Trump” effort, thereby creating further support for Nikki Haley? Yes, absolutely – again, that’s how it works.
The SIG moved all their poker chips to Nikki after they realized the weird behavior of DeSantis meant he was no longer a viable option. When Brian Kemp began creating distance with DeSantis, that’s when the shift to Haley began.
Immediately preceding the shift to Nikki Haley, and specifically because DeSantis was not gaining traction, the evangelical brothers Mike Pence and Asa Hutchinson also received their tap on the shoulder and withdrew from their Iowa effort.
Within the plan of the SIG, Pence/Hutchinson were only camped in Iowa to pull a coalition of evangelicals together to hand them to DeSantis. But that part of the effort never gained traction. As a consequence, the SIG shifted to New Hampshire, where their allied Democrats could assist.
Ramaswamy is correct in the statement that the billionaire donors within the SIG want a head-to-head between President Trump and Nikki Haley, but only because that’s all that remains of the collapsing roadmap. Where Ramaswamy is wrong is that when Haley loses, the SIG/Never Trump group will shift to supporting Biden (Newsom). That’s the UniParty. Ultimately, in the big picture, the foundational effort is not about supporting DeSantis or Haley, it’s about stopping Trump.
The hubris of Vivek Ramaswamy in this video then makes everything else he says ridiculous, and also explains why he cannot gain traction.
Who is Ramaswamy to say, “our America-First movement“? As if this is something he created. :::spit::: Right there, in that statement, is where we notice who Ramaswamy is. He is trying to co-opt the MAGA Trump movement for his own motives and intents.
There is only one person who holds the allegiance of the American working class and the America First movement. That person is President Donald Trump. President Trump alone will decide later who will take that pragmatic economic-based MAGA movement forward – after his four-year term. This is not that time.
At CTH we accept things as they are, not as we would pretend them to be.
If Vivek Ramaswamy was authentic to his words, if he really wanted to advance the America First movement, he would accept the futility of his position and endorse Donald J. Trump. His unwillingness to do that says more about him, about his [¹]’glowing‘ motives and intents, than anything he might say about Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
WATCH 01:33 minutes:
.
[¹] I have stayed generally neutral on Ramaswamy for a reason. However, he is now sending the exact signals I would expect to see if an intelligence community operator was nearing the end of his usefulness. It’s called ‘Linguistic Programming‘. ie “they will never allow,” etc.
“Who is Ramaswamy to say, “our America-First movement“? As if this is something he created.”
Vivek exposed his RunAsSwarmy.
Double SPIT.
Meant to write “exposed his RunAsSmarmy” but got spellchecked 😒
It is “our” movement, the people. Vivek is a citizen.
He’s speaking truth to power and promoting America First policies, and reaching young people.
He is smart enough to know he can’t win, he’s going through hell to help move the ball down the field.
We need to stop tearing down our allies.
Deb, I agree. Vivek knows he can’t win. He will eventually endorse Trump. From what I have read, he is garnering a lot of support from younger voters. Trump needs those voters to win. Trump needs to put Vivek in charge of dismantling the Dept of Education.
Agreed. Mr. Ramaswamy knows exactly what he’s doing, and he has a bright future in politics, should Trump prevail.
Eventually? How about now!
Why now? Because you said so? The fact is he speaks on real issues better than trump does.
Think, very slowly apparently. Think…..
Is Vivek the insurance policy against the DS ploys? For some reason, I keep remembering president Trump with PM Modi of India rasing joint hands. Hmmmmm 🤔
trump will raise hands with anyone if they’re willing to compromise and advance (or at least get out of the way of) his agenda of making america great again.
i doubt trump will become president again but to specifically address your post…i think Vivek taking on the federal aspects of education would be great….but first things first.
If Rams really believed in what he was saying, he would endorse President Trump for POTUS 2024.
He should hold the limelight as long as he can, given he has opened eyes on both sides.
He will but he’s being helpful now in attacking the never Trumpers especially in the media and explaining clearly MAGA positions, and he is not trying to co-opt MAGA. I’m MAGA also.
And he would drop out of the race.
The longer Rams stays in the race and therefore in the spotlight the longer he has the media attention and can speak truth to the people – I believe that’s his thinking and he is very very good at getting right to the point and hitting the Uniparty directly in the left or right gonad!!
he will. we’re still a month from the first primary. timing is everything. While the others are still in the race, Vivek draws youth votes from THEM, which he will in due course at the proper time HAND TO TRUMP.
Trump’s lead is so gargantuan and insurmountable that any votes Vivek takes away from Trump in these first primaries are de minimis. Negligible.
Vivek has also been busy building up his savings account with MAGA chits. He is setting himself up nicely to have an INTERESTING second half of his life. He is going to be VERY famous and influential for the next 40-50 years. Vivek has a VERY BIG future ahead of him, in the rarefied air that Trump, Elon, Tucker and few others breathe. He’s going to be one of the top leaders in an era of American history that has not yet dawned.
He’s actually run one of the cleanest, most successful presidential campaigns we’ve ever seen, going from a virtual unknown nobody to winning the nation’s respect.
He’s a ninja assassin for our movement. He’s not going to be so easy for them to destroy.
Politics 101. It’s very surprising Sundance, who usually sees all, is misfiring on this point.
And I am not BY ANY MEANS a Vivek supporter. I’m MAGA ride or die 4 eva.
Great comment and I totally agree. I am amazed at how short-sighted people are about the talent and possibilities Ramaswamy can bring to the MAGA movement.
eventually he will. this will all play out…..just in time to steal the election for the forth time in a row. 2018,2020,2022 and 2024.
Bingo.
I have to agree with you. It is “my” America First movement. I take no issue with it also being his.
His only mistake, and it’s a big one, is his failure to drop out and support President Trump. But, if he does so, will his voice disappear from our platform?
He’s a sharp, intelligent fellow from outside of our political system. I like him, even as a quasi-Trump supporter. VP pick? Possibly.
NO to VP.
As others suggest, let’s see how successful he can be at obliterating the Department of Education.
Second assignment: CLOSE THE BORDER. Support President Trump’s deportation of tens of millions of ILLEGAL Aliens.
Go on the offense against anyone who dare raise even a quibble of a sob story for invaders brought here by “all the usual suspects,” and send the “usual suspects” to the antarctic for a permanent stay.
Sign me: Disgusted beyond words —
Can you tell?
Invasion is easy, stop paying for them they leave. This, like every other problem is manufactured.
Imagine if we had a balanced budget, this all would stop immediately. Then, audit the federal reserve, and arrest for treason. That will never happen until a dictator takes over then they will kill off the competition and take over all the money.
Maybe a quasi dictator, kill off the competition and give back the power to the people? Then of course they will look for someone to give all the power to because it’s too much responsibility, whew! Back to square one.
History repeats because we are not taking personal responsibility. Am I my brothers keeper? Yes you are, next question.
Don’t blame you either.
I offer a minor adjustment to your solution however, I suggest sending them to the Arctic instead.
For one it’s closer. Carbon footprint you know. LOL
And the other is that the polar bears have to eat too. Saving some seals is just a bonus. LOL
The southern pole only has killer whales, no land predators that I’m aware of.
I appreciate your tweaking of my suggestions.
Excellent: and a vast improvement over mine.
Thank you.
Let me remember: Arctic=Polar bears.
They need to eat too.
gonna pick a female. he has to. new age new world order and all. i think it’s noem. not as controversial as haley, although not to dynamic either. at some time i believe noem could turn on trump but it probably doesn’t mean much anyway…..trump will not be president again. no standing means just that. the supreme court will have the last word once again.
Maybe we need to become better at recognizing who our “allies” are or aren’t and stop allowing great orators with questionable backgrounds/associations co-opt authentic American populist movement.
Imho, I believe Vivek’s true task is herding the cattle back into fenced-in pastures.
What do you base your assertion on? If anything, Ramaswamy is doing the exact opposite.
Exclusive: Vivek Ramaswamy Paid to Have His Soros Fellowship and Covid-Era Role Scrubbed from Wikipedia Page
https://www.mediaite.com/politics/exclusive-vivek-ramaswamy-paid-to-have-his-soros-fellowship-and-covid-era-role-scrubbed-from-wikipedia-page/
And there is MUCH more about him. What about his schooling and what about his history of voting?
The intelligence community has really sent out their army to infiltrate this site tonight.
Do not be fooled by their opinions.
Sundance is light years smarter than they are.
Yes, I was surprised at how many “names” of posters I had never previously on here until this evening. The cabal has no shortage of “last-ditch” efforts in their attempts to sabotage our America First, MAGA movement.
Oh please. What about his schooling??? And what about his voting??? He has come out and admitted that he does not have much of a good voting record. SO WHAT. DJT was a Democrat until he wasn’t.
I’m sick and tired of the “gotcha” group.
For the TPP.
MEDIAITE!!!!! That Left wing rag is the laughing stock of even other left-winger sites, of which there are many.
Well…there’s this:
“Paul & Daisy Soros Fellow Vivek Ramaswamy’s Roivant Sciences Develops Clinical Stage Antibody to Prevent and Treat Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in Patients with COVID-19”
https://www.pdsoros.org/news-events/2020-03-18-paul-daisy-soros-fellow-vivek-ramaswamy-s-roivant-sciences-develops-clincical-stage-antibody-to-prevent-and-treat-acute-respiratory-distress-syndrome-ards-in-patients-with-covid-19
soros.org. Gimmee a break.
If it were a snake, it’d bite you.
Below is link to page with deletions made by Vivek’s paid editor “Jhofferman”.
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vivek_Ramaswamy&oldid=1138344111
Sorry, I don’t believe much coming from Mediaite. They are a left wing rag, like the Washington Post.
I’m with you, Deb. I think relying on the one word (“our”) as some kind of dog whistle that his motives are suspicious is a bit too cynical – at least in this moment. Ramaswamy has been hitting the GOPe hard for months. He’s a natural ally to PDJT. I think he knows he cannot win in this election cycle but at this time he is certainly doing more to help the movement than hurt it.
In time, if his continued campaign starts to hurt or slow the momentum, all our questions about him will be answered. Does he step aside for the good of the nation or does he continue to remain in the race for selfish reasons. Time will tell.
If he knows he cannot win….then why doesn’t he drop out if he really cares about Trump?
IMO, VR is going to stay in until after the Iowa Caucus and NH Primary, in order to make his voice (which is against BOTH Haley and RDS) heard regarding the political donors backing the 2 losers. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that RV knows he will not win any primary, but he is out there to try to educate the masses regarding multi-millionaire “Political Donors” who care nothing about you and I, run of the mill USA citizens.
They do not care if we are paying $5.00 at the gas pumps and the same exorbitant fee for a gallon of household heating oil. They never cared that eggs were selling for $6.00+ for NO GOOD REASON. And, they still do not care. These “donors” are professional lobbyists all working to benefit the companies and corporations they are working for.
Until I see evidence of VR working against MAGA, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt.
“I am giving him the benefit of the doubt”
Why?
Because he deserves it.
But why?
Um ok. Eyes wide.shut then.
Very good point! Also, he knows Trump will like his ability to speak out and will likely ask him to be in his administration.
I think Ramaswamy is positioning himself in case President Trump is not allowed to run. He is calling himself “America First” so that IF they take PT out of the way, he will claim to be his substitution and hope that all of the MAGA voters fall over to him. If you think that he cares about us and President Trump, you need to do some research on the internet to find out just who this guy is.
Sundance needs to do a deep dive and bring us all up to speed on Ramaswampy.
Duh. Sundance did his deep dive, hence this article. What did you do? Go straight to the comments, like a typical lefty???
Correct. Sundance is wrong here. Even The Donald reads Vivek as a benign presence in the race.
HE IS HELPING TRUMP AND ALSO CONTRASTING HIMSELF FROM THE LOSERS BY SHOWING LOYALTY TO TRUMP.
Vivek is actually doing a GREAT job and setting a fine example. He has integrity, even if it is a political sort of calculated, forced integrity.
WE’LL TAKE IT WHERE WE CAN GET IT.
He’s also sparing himself from the lifetime political blackball that MAGA is going to drop on Rhonda, Nimrata and Crispie Creme, for their impudence and disloyalty. Not only to Trump, but also TO US, THE BASE.
Thinking your moniker is fitting for said poster.
The moment Vivek answered a rather simple question with an emphatic NO when he first announced his run, was the moment I researched him and said it figures
What was the question? Will you serve in a Trump administration if asked? NO, I would NEVER entertain it. Hmmm, strange answer and no daylight for reconciliation. Not so Maga, or smart enough to say well, I would have to think about it.
The ‘we’ll take it where we can get it’ position is the reason all our western nation-States are in this mess with overt corruption, nepotism and arrogant, narcissistic incompetents ruling us
Vivek= improved DeSantis 2= second attemp to hijack MAGA
Plan B = nimrata; Plan C = smarmy
From the beginning of his announcing candidacy, I’ve believed Ramaswamy was an operator. But from Trump’s team not the DS Intel Comm. I see Ramaswamy as Trump’s spoiler against the Deep State controller’s who first pushed DeSantis and now Haley. And in Trump’s brilliance, the ruse is to appear as though the DS is Ramaswamy’s puppet master.
I see a Nicki/Vivek ticket in the works.
…But I also believe PDJT recognizes benefit to MAGA by Vivek’s eloquent messaging…for the time being.
With similar backgrounds with emigre parents that have had a first generation child able to rise to national prominence and attend Harvard and Yale – a feat no prior generation of immigrants (of heritage Americans) were not able to do because they were oppressed immigrants – they already are on the same ticket.
Hispanic American and African American immigrants were unable to get their first generations to Harvard and Yale, either. Indians do believe in meritocracy and are exceedingly motivated (see National Spelling Bee), but the barriers to getting first generations in these schools for the groups mentioned were not based on ACT/SAT scores alone.
I have been told by a gal in Sunday School that she went to a Christian Conference and was told by an Indian who is also a Christian, that the majority of Indians HATE Americans.
“a feat no prior generation of immigrants (of heritage Americans) were able to do”…
On second thought, I’m not going to waste my time and effort responding to your asinine post.
Go post your “oppression” rants where they are welcome, like on every left wing site.
after his neocon in 3-in heels comment, that seems unlikely to me
I dunno… haven’t we seen this episode before?
… when handlers order they kiss and make up for good of the Party.
“I see a Nicki/Vivek ticket in the works.” You slay me, R Green. Perhaps you are too young to even understand the sarcastic term “you slay me.”
Why do you see a Nikki/Vivek ticket in the works????? Because they both have Indian lineage? Is that all it takes these days? Only is you see and believe through Lefty vision.
No…not “too young” to understand but not pretentious enough to use phrase “you slay me”.
Race never entered my thought process. That direction was charged by you alone.
Have a nice evening.
I do wonder why so many always revert to race as such a childish, lazy and unthought provoking response. Can’t debate these kinds.
Vivek will NEVER team up with Nimrata.
No. But it’s a movement he is part of and shares with other like-minded people.
Perhaps.
Verify then trust.
Trust and verify is a dead letter to me.
I’m so sick of LIARS I can triple SPIT.
Spitting is so unbecoming!
So too could be said of rants seemingly snarky Sparky.
You must have me confused with someone else. I don’t recall writing snarky rants.
AND SO IS CHRONIC lying for political gain and the destruction of our nation.
I stand by what I said. Spitting is unbecoming, period.
so is lying
I’ve jokingly referred to RamaSwampthing as the grown up ‘slum dog Millionaire ‘ ,! IOWs a poser, an artist,an actor playing his part succinctly. Just not sure of who s the handler. I definitely agree that it’s the Intel agencies, Sundance.
His Harvard classmate and founder of his SF based Datavant offshoot of Ramaswamy’s Roviant, Stephen Travis May, contributed to solely Democrat candidates until 2023 when Rama announced.Now he’s all in for Rama.
I can’t link from phone but there’s a BioSpace 2017 article about “WhizKid” Ramaswamy and S Travis May which talks about Roviant and Datavant and the Alzheimers drug that eventually didn’t pan out. It suggests Ramaswamy’s come on to his investors is not much more than “hope and dreams.”
Something is fishy about May backing Rama after clearly being a huge Democrat supporter up until the day Rama announced.
Additionally, this guy, like the One, comes out of nowhere and has gotten his billions from the Healthcare Data boom.
We are nearly done for, no room to trust anybody running against Pres Trump.
Where was Rama during Covid and the govt mandates? Where was he while Pres Trump was being impeached and then J6ers being beaten and thrown in jail? Who did he vote for in 2016?
Another out-of-the-ether, Harvard, smooth talking Elmer Gantry we don’t need– too much at stake. Need to vet, vet, vet.
I don’t care who the RINO’s and their wealthy backers put up individually or in a combo package…I won’t vote for any of them.
They will never stop. Lying liars must lie.
Afterall, Mr. Piggy stated multiple times in recent months that he will be in it through the Republican Convention.
Where is the postmortem conversation with the media on that?
‘Linguistic Programming‘. ie “they will never allow,”
Thank your Sundance. We need to be watchful for their brainwashing language.
May the MAGA movement make use of this and state “WE “will never allow” the next election to be stolen!”
The election steal is already in progress. The Democrats never sleep.
Ramaswamy=
Harvard
Yale law
Pharmaceuticals
Hedge fends
High caste Brahmin
Offered without comment, come to your own conclusions
Yes, there are some ugly things with your list but there are also many wonderful good things associated with your list. My conclusion is that you shouldn’t condemn all because of a few.
I offered without comment, “come to your own conclusions”,
Why is your default response to come to the defense of the powerful and well connected, especially when no allegations were made? Inquiring minds want to know?
By the way how is all that “diversity and inclusion” working out for you in Minnesota?
Interesting response. I never mentioned you by name or criticized you. I said you as in general, the treepers reading this. I made a conclusion and you attack me for doing what you asked for. I didn’t defend anyone and I certainly made no comment about you in particular.
Then, you somehow equate me with DEI in MN knowing nothing about me.
Well, I have to say I’m surprised at your prescience and ability to read minds. Unfortunately, that ability doesn’t translate into comprehension of the written word nor does it save you from your anger.
Good luck with that life of fury and antagonism towards people or things you falsely believe have done you wrong.
Your response to me: “you shouldn’t condemn all”. You responded to my post and to me individually.
Also; “many good and wonderful things associated with your list”. Which is good and wonderful things” from the perspective of our current crisis? Hedge? Pharma? Ivies?
Your handle insinuates some connection to Minnesota. The question is an honest one, how is the cultural enrichment working out for that state?
Also “I’m surprised at your prescience and ability to read minds.”. I asked you a couple of honest questions, indicating I preferred your response to my own assumptions. You still never answered the original questions. Never mind,
By all means, please elaborate on the many wonderful good things associated with RJH’s list?
How about aspirin, anesthetics, cancer drugs, polio and smallpox vaccines, morphine, insulin, and penicillin? Pharma.
Or maybe Teddy Roosevelt and hundreds of Nobel prize winning physicists, doctors, and economists from Harvard.
Maybe pessimism is not one of my strong points but I always think there is one good apple in every bunch even though the spoilers are all that some people see. If you actually searched and found that one good apple before throwing out the whole bucket, you could see life in a totally different way.
Harvard and Yale! Hell no.
My conclusion: A brilliant, successful, highly educated businessman with a ton of potential. Plus he has a law degree.
He has all the credentials to make an outstanding President, and in this campaign he is “gaining political knowledge and experience” and learning the political players and the system.
The Republican bench is very thin for those with the intelligence, confidence, business, financial and economic skills and abilities to be President. Trump has shown a life-long political hack is not good Presidential material.
Ramaswamy checks many of the boxes. Plus, he doesn’t put up with garbage from anyone. All he needs at this point is experience.
Checks all the boxes?
In other words, manufactured for this moment in history.
Hold up a minute harrietht3 … You must not understand?! “He has a law degree”!!! 😉
Lol
As stated in my comment, Ramaswsmy checks all the boxes regarding the optimal executive experience and desirable qualities one would expect of a President.
Ramaswamy’s background nor personal qualities are definitely not manufactured.
“Plus, he has a law degree.”
From my years of observation this formula has not served us well.
“Learning the political players” ditto. If i have to explain it further, I’m probably wasting my breath.
A law degree is an advantage considering President’s probably consult with lawyers every day. Will keep them more honest.
It is also good strategy to learn the political players and watch them operate. One cannot navigate and deal with the swamp rats otherwise.
Just the kinda guy the Deep State love to use and control.
Really? I have watched many of Ramaswsmy’s interviews and he doesn’t let anyone push him around.
This. I don’t recall first generation Irish or Italians being able to attend Harvard and Yale in a single generation.
Donald Trump says on a Fox News town hall that he has already picked his VP. He will announce his choice at some future time.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/president-trump-says-hes-already-picked-his-vp/
If it turns out to be someone other than Ben Carson or Kari Lake (my personal preference) I will be very disappointed — possibly disappointed, anyway, depending upon who the choice actually is if it isn’t Carson or Lake.
We don’t know all the back door deals and machinations that must take place.
Deb: “We don’t know all the back door deals and machinations that must take place.”
We have to assume that if Donald Trump has already made his choice for VP, as he says he has, then that person has already agreed to join the Trump ticket. Any deals which had to be struck with that person, whomever that person is, have already been made.
And so any future back door deals and machinations which might take place — if any do take place — would probably be part of the process of confirming that choice with the GOP Establishment.
But does he need to do that?
Donald Trump is the presumptive 2024 Republican nominee, right here, right now. He says he has already chosen his VP. So we ask the question, does he have to make any backroom deals with anyone at this point?
I say no this time.
President Trump is the official leader of the Republican Party now.
No one has a say in who he picks but him.
Note the rinos retiring to get out of his way.
Come on. No open mind? How about Mark Morgan? There are many out there you just haven’t seen the possibilities.
https://www.heritage.org/staff/mark-morgan
I’ve never heard of Mark Morgan. If it is me doing the picking, it must be someone who has put themselves before the public in previous elections and who is a known quantity in relation to their devotion to MAGA policies. Carson and Lake fit the bill. I prefer Lake because she is younger than Carson and has proven that she has what it takes to suffer the slings and arrows of a brutal campaign season.
Ever watch Newsmax? He is one of their border experts and one of the Trump administrations hardest workers and supporters. If you read his bio you would see, aside from the fact he is not a career politician, he has skills and experience specific to solving many of the problems plaguing this country.
Mark Morgan was Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection under Trump. Do you realize your criteria of who it must be would have precluded Trump himself when he ran the first time?
Some people’s minds are so open that their brains fall out. Adrian Rogers, Bellevue Baptist Church, ca 1970s.
I believe that Gov Noem is being groomed for VEEP now, based on all the TV interviews she’s getting lately. If she is chosen, as a former Congressional Rep, she could be valuable to Trump in getting his agenda supported and passed by Congress.
Noem is a non-starter for me.
I won’t waste space giving my reasons.
She’d be Hunky Dory alright.
She could get everything set up for her buddy John Thune to take over McConnells position and in 2028 they’d march the cabal right back in.
Commenters need to actually read articles on this site before posting.
Sundance has already covered Noem
Trump was all bluster and no substance in that “town hall” last night, continuing to tout his “great” response to COVID, deflecting questions for which he presumably still has the right answers, etc. Unwatchable. He’s got my vote to the end, but Ramaswamy is the one telling the truth straight out and not pulling punches. They’re not competing.
So Trump’s actual achievements of getting the US out of NAFTA, TPP and the Paris Climate Accord, setting reciprocal fair trade tariffs, attaining full energy independence, a full employment economy, low inflation, avoiding wars and resolving international tensions, demanding our NATO allies pay their share, massive deregulation, and building a partial southern border wall with an uncooperative Congress may not matter as much to you as simply saying the right things.
Vivek probably doesn’t do mean tweets, either.
Better still, vote for Noem. She says all the right things, most of the time.
Talk is cheap. Trump delivered.
Did I say otherwise? I was probably for Trump before you were, and still am. No one else. Why didn’t he convey those things when he was on that stage? Vivek is probably as Sundance assesses here, which has nothing to do with Trump’s performance, nor does Noem.
“President” Trump delivered. Full Stop.
Kari Lake has no executive experience. Reading a TV teleprompter on the nightly news hardly qualifies. Her usefulness would be slim, considering the help Trump requires to turn around the country.
Kari Lake strongly connects with people both on a MAGA policy level and on a MAGA personal level.
She would help Trump in the November election by being a highly effective spokesman for the cause in rallying the MAGA base to come out in the absolutely huge numbers needed for us to prevail ten months from now.
That said, she is also an outsider and so must be educated on the job post election as to how government organizations work and how policy must be implemented and managed in practice.
If she becomes VP, part of her day post election would be spent in the role of a key administration public relations figure in promoting the MAGA agenda as it moves forward; the remainder of her day would be spent gaining on the job executive experience in a variety of areas needed for eventually taking on the job of Chief Executive.
But again, that is my personal thinking. Donald Trump has already made his own choice based on those reasons he himself thinks are most important in winning the election and then moving the MAGA agenda forward post election.
I beg to differ. With only 4 years, President Trump does not need a VP who needs in-depth on the job training. He needs someone who is a quick study and who has the financial, economic and executive experience to hit the ground running.
That is about as thoughtless a comment as has been posted here today. Lake has what my Folks recognized as Intestinal Fortitude (buckets of it), which is the main plus everyone will require in a President Trump admin.
What she lacks is the official stature to fill the VP slot. It requires MUCH bigger shoes than Kari Lake currently wears.
ZERO PERCENT chance Trump picks her.
Sorry you dislike my comment, but I stand by it.
If it is Ramaswamy, count me out.
I’m glad Sundance finally got around to hinting at what should have been figured out immediately.
Yale-educated. And I suspect CIA groomed there.
Blackrock and State Street subsidized thereafter. The system now owns him. There are no free lunches once you take their money.
He says the right things to fool the populist/nationalist base, just like Georgia Meloni did.
PDJT’s VP pick is his most important decision – by far – in 2024. Because the Cabal is running out of options to stop him. They will resort to assassination attempts as the last resort. And that point is approaching.
The VP needs to be a pure outsider and completely unconnected to the Cabal. Because there is a higher than average chance that he could replace PDJT if the worst happened.
What better deep state insurance policy than a deep state controlled VP?
NOT RAMASWAMY. He’s worse than Pence. “Glows” is the correct word.
General Flynn would the be the ideal strategic pick. He knows DC completely, and is now its sworn mortal enemy. But they have thoroughly dirtied him up politically.
CIA groomed and Black Rock and State Street subsidized……any links for proof of these assertions?
The first is suspicion, as stated.
The second is known fact. Both megafunds bankrolled his pharma adventure.
Either along is a sufficient red flag to counsel strong caution.
I’m not writing a white paper here.
Ramaswamy’s company, Roivent Sciences Ltd. is publicly traded and has 421 institutional owners and shareholders, of which Black Rock is one of them.
Ramaswamy has no control over who buys shares in his company, but it must be pretty successful for Black Rock to notice and buy into.
Goodness sakes, Sparky! Oldersoul is giving his impression. I totally 100% agree with him. If you think that Ramaswampy is a champ, you need to go do some research on your own. Don’t be lazy. Come back and let us know what you find though. Wink!
Do you even read anything to do with politics before you come on here and post?
You seem to not know what is even going on .
General Flynn is disqualified simply because of his flirtation and participation in the Q op.
They won’t allow Trump to win so choose me? Weak answer. Better answer: acknowledge political war and double down on Trump.
Democrats have long practiced participating in Republican elections when the Democrat seat is already lost. Their calculus if they cannot control the election of their Democrat candidate, they engage in the Republican primaries and elections to seat the candidate they can control or already control. This tactic is nothing new, just another part of their strategy.
It will be interesting to see who VR endorses, if anyone, when he suspends his campaign.
Really? You obviously haven’t listened to him over and over praising Trump.
Let’s hear him say the words…I endorse PJDT.
I was first here in 2015 using my given name Michael. Was rereading “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” and decided to use the nom de plume Mycroft. Anyone here for a while knows I’m about as paranoid as anyone sitting on a branch.
Questions.
VR hangs the banner TRUTH at his (small) events.
Are we to think VSGDJT isn’t aware VR is pirating/emulating Truth Social?
Would not VSGDJT slice and dice him for such transgression if it was an issue?
VR’s whole shtick is to say all the things VSGDJT wants said?
VR has been very effective at destroying the other wannabes!
VSGDJT has run (IMO) a much more refined campaign talking less about people and more about MAGA.
VR has no chance to become POTUS at this time and he is certainly aware of it.
In short can it be VR is a stalking horse for VSGDJT and not a Dr Evil?
With gag orders, President Trump needs a voice. Who is saying why he would like to say?
nistake: not why but what. Why give a person an ‘edit’ button but refuse to let them use it.
Use patience with the edit button and it works well.
Excellent point.
I agree. He is either a defeatist or a government asset. Neither is acceptable in MAGA world.
Ha! They haven’t got a chance.
Judicial Watch claims that House Republicans responsible for Biden’s immigration policies. Would explain why the RNC is having so much trouble raising money. Seeing reports that many state an local Republicans groups are essentially out of money.
Hey Sundance, I think you’ve missed some basics on Ramaswamy. My take isn’t any more flattering but it’s a different reason. He could be an unknowing operator but I don’t see any evidence he is coached by IC. I don’t understand how ripping the media, confronting the left’s horrid abortion and transgender ideology, and siding with but competing against Trump, helps the IC. Many of his comments have reinforced the America First ideas in people that are susceptible to the media telling them it is bad to think MAGA.
I see Vivek as a very talented although uncontrolled and undisciplined player on the team that wants a better position. Unfortunately for him his personality causes the team to disregard him as inexperienced and unable to really help the team, even though he has skills. You could say he is a bit unlikable and others would say he thinks he knows everything, all leading to the inability to get traction.
He really really wants a starting position but for now it’s the bench. Next season maybe after lots of training and practice.
Finally, a reasoned comment regarding Ramaswamy.
Opinions are like a—, everyone has one, but there is no chance DeSantis is going to play second fiddle to Nikky Hale-Bopp given his a superior handling of FL vs her in SC. He’ll drop out first.
If Ron did do this his popularity in Florida would evaporate destroying any vestiges of a future in politics that is already tenuous from running against DJT. He’d end up on some corporate board like Paul Ryan cashing a paycheck.
I agree. DeSantis will never be her VP. He thinks much too highly of himself.
IMO ron will do whatever DS and casey tells hin to do.
If he had any sense, class, or shame he would have never come out against VSGDJT
Only Three negatives?
Love the comet allusion.
Frozen dirty mass that evaporates in the sun! LOL
Not sure where this is coming from. Once Trump secures the GOP nomination – which should occur by mid-March – it would be pointless for either Haley or DeSantis to continue. DeSantis as Haley’s VP choice? Who cares? With Trump leading the polls by between 20%-50%, and around 30% nationally, what’s the point? When Trump secures the nomination all of the other campaigns will basically end, automatically. Unless they have some convention tricks up their sleeves, or they know something they aren’t sharing that is…
New RINO/Establishment/Never-Trump linguistic programming: “Can’t support Trump because there’s too much CHAOS around him!”
I like Vivek. However, he’s too new. Beware the kid, showing up out of nowhere, saying all the right things.
If he quits soon and supports Trump, he may get a good/visible job in the Trump Administration. Would love to see him as Press Secretary or Communications Director for the first year of the Administration. I think he would be brilliant in that job.
I think he would eat the stenographers for lunch just as he does now.
Everyone has to start somewhere. All of us did.
Good. Let him start by endorsing Trump, and getting the hell off the stage.
I am an older soul as well and you and I are on the exact same page!
Wisdom.
Like Trump in ‘16 ?
“our America-First movement” makes sense if VR is VP choice.
Trump hinted that person is already selected.
We MUST HAVE fighter to succeed Trimp. We cannot do just 4 yrs and hand it right back over to the UniParty. We need someone like Vivek to pick up in 2028, and have a running mate equally as far out of the system as possible, or else whats the point? Trump 2024- 2028 then right back to the POSs destroying the country like they have been since 2020? Waste of time
Excellent point. Gracias, El Gordo!
You have to wonder if Ron started acting crazy on purpose to sabotage the Uniparty efforts… whether he had a ‘come to Jesus’, moment, or was in cahoots with Trump from the very beginning… who can say?
I have said over and over that Ron DeSantis never wanted to run for president of the US. His face always shows his fear. I don’t think that he wants to be run by the Deep State (who forced him to run) either, mainly because he is afraid of what they will do to him when they are done. He should have been a shoe salesman instead and I imagine he thinks about that all of the time.
No he’s just an untalented doofus.
I see the larger picture and I could be wrong but usually right . LOL ! Vivek is no clown and certainly sees at this stage, a path is not there, however there will be a place in the Trump admin for Vivek. While I haven’t seen any data, my belief is Vivek has a younger crowd following. My early pick for VP months ago was him, and I still hold that. Think about this, Who is going to carry the torch for the America First after Trump in four years ?. Fixing decades of bad policies, laws, compromised politicians and bureaucratic agencies running the joint will not be done in four years. Trump can set the course but who is the question ? A VP under Trump could be more than just a VP with little clout , otherwise the movement will just be flash in the plan. The young people are the key to the success of the ‘New’ Republican Party. I’ll be gone and so will you. I think Vivek sees the larger picture and putting aside the pros and cons of Vivek, We cant end up with another turncoat like Pence so who else out here is supporting the movement ?
Good comment and totally agree. The Republican bench is slim to none for outstanding and qualified presidential candidates. Trump’s one failing is not grooming his successor, considering his age and the fact he has only one term left.
I love seeing others on here seeing this as I do: Trump would have gotten nowhere with his “America-first” movement on his own. It took the millions who immediately recognized that philosophy as what they believed as well, to immediately rally behind Trump. He was the first strong leader to get the national platform to promote America-First for all of us.
I have lost friends and other relationships due to my unapologetic support of Trump. I have been ridiculed, insulted, ignored. I have stuck with him proudly, even when he has been harmed by his own behavior. (He started losing Arizona when he insulted John McCain, which was needless.)
So, as far as I am concerned the more people who feel comfortable saying “our America first,” the better. I would love to see about 90 million of them vote in 2024.
McCain eared for himself a very well-deserved kick in the pants.
I’m glad and exceedingly thankful Trump gave it to him.
No pussyfooting around; no playing politics because to tell the truth where it needs to be told will cost votes.
To hell with votes.
SPEAK THE TRUTH about a man whose political career was in no small part very much aimed at dismantling our sovereignty.
The below the belt SIG Uniparty move to get NH Dems to vote for Tricky Nikki in the NH GOP Primary allowing her to make a run at PDJT may work to a degree, but even if she gets close to Trump in NH (which I doubt),… it’s still just a Hail Mary pass that can’t work in most of the other state GOP primaries.
Yes, they are very desperate to stop PDJT.
Hindu Bevis
This is like standing on deck watching the Titanic hit the iceberg with someone who’s already seen it.
They tell you everything awful that is about to happen, but you can do nothing to stop it.
I can see why some people just tune all this out because they feel completely helpless.
They watch the ship filling with water, the crowds on deck with no lifeboats and no hope, the icy water coming closer and closer, the band playing their final notes……..
All Your Base Are Belong To Trump?
“Bring Back Trump. We want Trump.”
queued@9:20
Say what you will about Ramalamadingdong but he knows how to handle hostile media jackasses. A bunch of Republican politicians could take lessons from him on that.
Great. Then appoint him Press Secretary and let him deliver the daily WH press releases.
The cat and mouse games are often orchestrated to divide.
Trump has paid and is paying a heavy price for his unwillingness to bend the knee. What has Vivek paid? Even in 2015, Trump was paying a heavy price. Why does Vivek get a pass for playing MAGA on TV?
Ronnie,
Now that your 2024 campaign is about to be closed/finished
it is necessary to know more than what your handlers tell you
to do …. you must think for yourself and not the Sea Island billionaires.
As long as you have been good tor them, they’ve used you …
otherwise they’ve dismissed you .
Fighting to win the 2nd or even 3rd place is NOT what they wanted from you .
Same for your “comrade” Nikki ….
Here is some food of thought for you and your komrade Nikki …
1) When you are told the truth
and/or
2) How the voters react to your truth …
1)
Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they dont’t want their illusions destroyed.
Friederich Nietzshe
2)
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they will kill you .
Oscar Wilde
….
So, your illusions are destroyed (1), and the voters react to your canned truth .
!
Look at these comments….
What bunch of sycophants….NOONE has a dissenting opinion? Really?
Jim Jones would be impressed….
I mean, I agree on Trump, (and have been coming here since around ‘15 or 16) but totally disagree on Vivek….. maybe a bit of a pinball, but he’s a FRESHMAN….AS TRUMP WAS…..and he’s racking up points
Nice choice of still grab for article too, btw.
He’s racking up points?
Last I checked, he was in single digits.
Maybe if he is so connected to America First, he should bow out, endorse PDJT, and get the hell off the stage.
He’s not, which makes him no better than DeSantis or Haley in that respect.
Well Nietzshe should know!
His last days were spent in an asylum.
Are you suggesting Ramaswamy is threatening Trump with a veiled assassination threat aka JFKing? Are you serious?
Are you suggesting that the IC is not ready willing and able to perform coups, assassinations and God only knows what else?
‘Kay’s being naive.’
I must have misunderstood your comment. I thought you were saying this of Ramaswsmy. As for the IC, I am very aware of their capabilities and their reputation.
“They” don’t have the final say.
“Who is Ramaswamy to say, “our America-First movement“? As if this is something he created. :::spit::: Right there, in that statement, is where we notice who Ramaswamy is. He is trying to co-opt the MAGA Trump movement for his own motives and intents.”
Other questions aside, as good as it feels to hear Ramaswamy saying the things that MAGA want said, and said in big public forums, because even “our” candidate is not saying them as forcefully or at all, the comment is a glaring signal of a complete lack of self-awareness – no, that’s not it – or something equally untrustworthy. He’s knowingly sitting himself in the “our” chair reserved for those who have earned it, and he knows it. It reveals a motive.
Is Ramaswamy insurance to split an anti-uniparty vote, with Dem help in primaries where they and Independents can vote R, push their “popular” image of their RINO candidate (Nikki) to those who vote for perceived popularity, and then over the finish line? There are two equally reasonable explanations for him staying in the primaries, IMO, one good, one bad. With his statement about “our” America-First movement, he’s shifted it to the latter, after which his endorsement of Trump would be as suspect.
I hope you’re wrong about Ramaswamy. I was starting to have hope that we had found someone who is young and articulate to help carry the common-sense governance banner. I do understand all the love for Trump and I have glimmers of it myself, but he blunders into the clutches of his/our enemies way too often. Trump is the greatest strength of the America First movement- but also its Achilles heel.
And why is it bad for anyone besides Trump to say “our” movement? If this is mostly a personality cult, we’re doomed to fail.
PDJT is still on the stage. That’s why.
PDJT didn’t create America First. It was the Tea Party before, and the skeptical nationalist electorate of Buchanan and Perot before that.
But PDJT re-focused it, gave it renewed direction, and the cover of a fighting incorruptible leader, and has led it to another level as MAGA.
It’s ridiculous for some young kid like Ramaswamy to now try and stake a major claim to it. He has had nothing to do with it, and was still filling diapers, if even alive, when Ross Perot was first sounding the alarm about NAFTA.
“Stake a major claim…?”
He’s grabbed his torch and pitchfork just like EVERYONE ELSE HERE….
AND has the balls to wear a TRUMP HAT at the same time….unlike many other “conservatives” .
You and Sparky seem upset that many here are not falling for the slick talking youngster.
If he really believed in America First and MAGA, he wouldn’t have ran against PDJT in the first place.
DJT’s viability politically, outside of people like US…..and his ability to secure the WH, is about as predictable as the position of an electron at any given time.
Vivek is SUPER smart and is UNAPOLOGETICALLY aware of this …..as well as the necessity,VIABILITY, ideals and values (morals) of the policies you reference above ……
What the HELL is wrong with THAT….? Is there someone ELSE more aligned….?
Thanks for finally exposing yourself.
Likewise…does the word sycophant sound familiar….?
…want some kool-aide?
If you had only said the Secret Word, Groucho would have given you $100.
And the secret word for Ramaswamy is “OPPORTUNIST”.
Understandable, but Vivek isn’t “anyone.” He’s a candidate running against the head of MAGA, and he has NO resume of support for MAGA prior to running against Trump. As far as I can tell he’s never explained why. His use of “our” is not like yourself and others who voted for and have supported Trump through it all. He came out of nowhere and is claiming a relationship that he never invested in.
Totally agree. And if MAGA is only a personality cult, then the whole movement will die after Trump’s next 4 years. It is so short-sighted of people to not even consider a leader for MAGA post Trump.
those poor chairs lol
I can actually smell him.
I very much appreciate SD’s deconstruction-teachings on the machinations of the criminals in politics….Since I have *zero* political science acumen… it’s fully beyond me how this horse-apple-bait-&-switch-BS-fakery has any substance whatsoever (except pure predation);
much like pHARMa fakery, btw, which I do understand more clearly. VR brings the two back-stabbing criminals’ predatory worlds together in one picture for me.
I’m just going to document this as CC’s exit BECAUSE Joe Dan Gorman’s Intellectual Froglegs pushed out
the meme of “LARD & ODOR” and it was the straw that broke the poor, overburdened camel’s back for Chris ‘LardArse’ Christie;
too much sunlight spot on the Truth.
This makes for a much more amusing & entertaining page in my book; looking back on it later will make me smile again & again.
{ https://imgflip.com/gif/86dk4d }
Yes VR is a dishonest, forked-tongue (pHARMa) snake… another usurper… as has been made obvious by specific evidence in the way he’s conducted his past “business dealings”.
It’s good to be clear.
I never trusted Vivek Ramaslimy. He seems too much like an Obama clone.
Cleaning up US politics mans throwing out crooks and fraudsters and prosecuting where and when possible and appropriate, AND establishing and upholding and enforcing new and plainly understood standards on how govt. will do business in the future. We are 34 plus trillion in the hole because of deep-seated systemic problems in govt. Fixing them means fixing government means good thorough personnel review, elected, appointed, hired, contractors, everybody. Find the source of the smell and bring the hot bleach bucket and scrub brush etc. Fair warning to future election hopefuls…
When Ramaswamy first appeared on the scene I did some immediate internet research. I found out how he made his billions by scamming investors.
But, more importantly I had found a link in which he had co-chaired a WEF Davos session on health and biotechnology some time around 2018 or 19. I can no longer find any reference to that session. I should have bookmarked it. I cannot find it now. I think it was scrubbed from the internet. His history was cleansed around the same time as his lawsuit to remove his name from the WEFs list of young global leaders. Even some of the links to his fraudulent business dealing have disappeared.
I think that WEF lawsuit was a head-fake, separating his connections to appear like he was never on board. If he was truly America First, the WEF would be doing all they can to scuttle his candidacy. They are not. They need him in the next Trump administration should there be one. Maybe this is a far-sighted post Trump planning maneuver for 2028. The timing would be right for the 2030 agenda.
He is hitting MAGA strongpoints on all cylinders and resonating with people. So my suspicion remains that this is predatory on President Trumps well known high regard for loyalty. PT should ‘use’ him and when reelected, offer him nothing.
Could you please post the link to the info regarding Ramaswsmy scamming investors? I would love to read it.
After going through these comments, I am flashing back to our DeSantis discussions from a year ago. Some are hopeful about V.R, some are not. Some defended RD as the logical spiritual heir of our opposition to the status quo. Time and events have cooled that support. RD showed his colors. Time will tell.
Totally disagree. Vivek is by a mile the brightest bulb in the box, and has the most energy. He’s not a RINO. Listen to him. He’s a bit young, but its crazy to dismiss him. The republicans need a bench post Trump. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump brings him in as the “cost cutter”.
Not sure what or who you are disagreeing with?
“brightest bulb in the box”
I seem to remember JFKs campaign to bring the “best and the brightest” into government, populating the agencies with big brains from ivy leagues. You remember, guys like Mcnamara? From that seed of good intentions, we have reaped a harvest of bad ideas from a plague of valedictorians. And here we are.
So, Vivek is an “operator”? Operator isn’t intell lingo for starters, that’s “door-kicker” lingo. So, if Vivek is “intel” is he a white hat or a black hat? You do realize that there has been an internal struggle in the “intel” community. We were given glimpses of that struggle, many (Sundance?) were unwilling to listen. Does the “Army of Northern VA” (NOT Gen Lee’s) mean anything to you? TF Orange? The hour is late Sundance….
Does the “Army of Northern VA” (NOT Gen Lee’s) mean anything to you? TF Orange?
No it does not, please explain.
Task Force Orange is a Tier One Military Intelligence support organization. That was COL Chris Miller’s (Trump’s acting SEC DEF) last assignment. Sundance has mocked the Q posts, apparently without ever reading them, and examining the proofs demonstrated. That is why I take his assumptions with a grain of salt. He’s a smart guy, but he really missed the train when it left the station on the whole “Q” thing.
Thank you. I am unfamiliar with the details of the Q thing. My few brief attempts to investigate were unsuccessful.
Question Number One for all “America First” Primary Candidates:
If they are so aligned with America First and MAGA, why are they running against PDJT in the primaries in the first place?
That should be the first big tell that they are NOT aligned with it.
They are directly challenging the presumptive Presidential nominee, and a President who unequivocally succeeded under that doctrine. It is analogous to a Republican challenging Eisenhower in the ’56 primaries.
No, they are not going to do a better job than PDJT at MAGA. And all they are doing by running now is diluting and distracting the MAGA base. Intentionally so, it appears.
That’s the definition of an opportunist.
lol…”presumptive Presidential nominee” THAT title AND A TOKEN will get him on the subway….we NEED somebody IN THE WH…. and a Plan B,C,D…… whatever it takes….failure is not an option….’20 was a SLAM DUNK….with 90 mile Trump trains…. EVERYONE had a Trump hat, was at a rally,
….HE LOST…TO A MUSHROOM in a BASEMENT waist deep in $#it……
Vivek makes perfect sense if you realize that he is angling to be TRUMP’s VP.
And he may be just like LBJ, Gerald Ford, and H.W. Bush.
It’s a perfected method to replace a sitting President without an election. Especially when the successor is controlled.
Two succeeded, and one nearly so.
He’s angling to be the VP. I did not say Trump would ever in a million years CHOOSE him to be the VP.
I doubt that…..
Vivek may have some BIG self awareness blind spots, but it seems naive to to me to think that he is unaware that DJT could/would EVER have ANY VP, that was anything more than a unseen, unremarkable,unoppionated echo chamber.
(Most value being one that would maybe symbolically, give him some DEI points.)
His ego and narcissism don’t allow such distractions.
It’s not admirable or ideal, but he has made it work for him….His entire life….The Force is strong because of those flaws in part….
What other human being could weather the crap that he has….? And keep getting up off the canvas….? He’s a freak.
Trump has the X FACTOR and NOBODY else does.
Vivek is making it sound like ‘talking past the sale’, as if ‘taking out Donald Trump’ through deep state maneuverings is a foregone conclusion. He is wrong there, because removing Trump from the ballot is a highly unlikely scenario. And frankly, I don’t know what happens to the R-party (even MAGA) at that point, as it relates to the current election cycle. I think there is no sense in voting for anyone other than Trump in this election. Write him in or whatever. The Dems would have won. None of the other keebler’s elves (as Bannon likes to say it) are worthy of consideration. As to who the next generation of leaders are, we have to go back to the drawing board. Is that Vivek? I don’t know. He comes across as too presumptuous at this time. Cocky.
All who enter this race against DJT, abandon all hope. A take off from, Dante’ from Dante’s inferno.
Vivek reminds me of the Robert Preston character Harold Hill in the “Music Man” singing “Ya got trouble.” Ramasmarmy uses the some body language as he’s speaking. All someone needs to do is superimpose his head on the RP character and voila you get the slick oily salesman from out of nowhere invading River City.
Vivek might be an intelligence operator? That’s a leap.
I have been biting my lip and chewing my cheek on this one.
I’m gonna go waaaay out on my limb this time. I think, with all due respect, that Sundance has jumped the shark on this .
I am right there with the folks calling foul on the “..our America First…” program. America First is way bigger the PDJT, and I am proud to say it is my own agenda. Does that mean I started it? No. Does that mean I own it? No. Does that mean I have adopted it? Hell Yes.
I am at the point of realizing that it is time for a handoff to the 30-somethings (whatever they call that generation. I’m not real hip on labels). I think one of the biggest problems we have today is the gerontocracy of 70+ year old “rulers”. I an 67 now, and I am quite ready to leave this vale of tears behind, and pass it on to the younger generations.
I have watched Vivek Ramaswamy carefully, and listened to his arguments, watched his combat with warped and twisted people from all points of view. Everything I hear is dead nuts Truth, hence the banner.
Has PDJT now got a patent on Truth? I hope not, because it is universal, and God given, and needs to be shouted and preached from every mouth that can speak, that has a soul and a heart to hear it to begin with.
I appreciate the people here bucking the strong headwind. Yes, Sundance owns the site. Yes, he can say what he wants and needs to say, and I have been welcomed and comforted by his writings for many years now.
The Tree has been cleaved by lightning. I guess I am not a true believer. I’m putting my money on the younger generations, it is their turn now, and I pray that they will respect the wisdom of the Elders, but make their own way as they see fit. They are now raising the children, fixing the plumbing, building the roads and houses, drilling the wells and establishing the machine shops. I am happy to step aside, and offer help.
Don’t get me wrong. Sundance, you have done the most incredible work for both the Lord, and the people. You are probably the most perspicacious mind at work in the world and the Nation today. I trust that you know that even you are not fallible. There is nothing wrong with being wrong; the wrong comes when you choose to not accept your own shortcomings. We all have them, God knows I have my own.
As a great man once said, “A man has got to know his limitations.” I am flagrantly aware of my own, and casting my own desires on other people is probably my worst fault. I have been burned many times by placing trust and respect into dirty hands.
I listen always for the still, small voice, and He tells me that this gentleman is worth the wager.
Peace and Love, Sundance, I continue to support you and the CTH with all my heart. My heart tells me you are wrong on this. I have laid aside a pile of misgivings regarding our Lion PDJT, and given him generously the benefit of the doubt. I still support him 100%, on just the strength of the Retribution that needs to be secured, and the Justice that needs to rain down upon the Evil Doers currently occupying the positions of power in the late USA.
So be it. Perhaps I have sawn too far thru my particular limb of the Tree. I don’t think I am alone.
I 2nd that emotion…AND I’ve got a few years on you…..for a # of which, I attended the same church as DJT and family…If he makes it to the gate, he is 100% my vote…and a STRONG FU vote it IS….
But I have no illusions nor doubts, that the processor and sheer processing speed of VR, is embarrassingly beyond the grasp of a majority of those in power right now…..and is a resource we badly need to exploit for our future, along with that of others like like him…..I have witnessed him sway the opinions of some VERY discerning and CONSEQUENTIAL minds with well reasoned and virtually unassailable arguments.
The guy is FOR REAL.
Oh….and he plays a great one handed backhand……🥰
Plays a mean piano, too.
I didn’t know that…. + Wife’s a surgeon……Damn overachiever !
appreciate the Smokey Robinson tip…
De nada…..
MAGA is America First for everyone. I am sure President Trump would agree. And, President Trump has spoken very favorably about Ramaswamy.
I am not sure why so much angst about a candidate who is in 4th place and no threat to President Trump.
I highly doubt Ramaswsmy is CIA or FBI. I need to see some hard evidence before I would even consider that notion.
From what I understand he has taken Soros money. I believe it was for education. I don’t care the reason, you take his money and you are his puppet.
‘Someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this money as a gift for your indoctrination, ahem…I mean…education.’ 🙂
The fact that he went to Law School, and chose not to become a lawyer, says it all to me.
No, he took a scholarship from Paul Soros, George’s brother and an American immigrant, citizen, and staunch supporter of America First, before it was ever titled so. I would have taken it too, if I had had the marks to earn it.
You dive headfirst into a shallow pool, my friend.
