President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson held a joint press conference earlier today from Mar-a-Lago.
Keep in mind, the UniParty DC operation is constructed to remove Johnson and negate the Republican majority in the House of Representatives as a strategy against Donald Trump. As an outcome, Trump must navigate this shark infested water very carefully.
Despite his personal and private opinions of Speaker Johnson, Trump must position support as a method to stop the effort to flip the House prior to the November election. Keep this in mind as you look at “Republican” members who would appear to be targeting Johnson from a MAGA perspective. Even with all the stupidity of the Speaker on full display, removing Johnson right now would be tantamount to a hostile anti-Trump shift in the House… WATCH:
.
The corruption is so deep and widespread that voting is not going to get us out of this.
The sooner we realize that, the sooner we can do what needs to be done.
I am beginning to think the same thing. I’m actually old enough that I have one foot in the grave. My only child died in 2022 at only 48 …after being forced to take the covid shot for work, that I truely believe killed him via brain aneursym. I truely am sure that this will be the last election that I vote in. I am so disgusted with the GOP congress. President Trump can only do so much.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss and will pray for you peace.
My husband and I feel as you do. We are up against the most powerful criminals in the world. What they want is the exact opposite of what the American people want. We want to simply live in a Constitutional republic with secure elections, a representative government that works to represent us, and limited federal government. To accomplish the take down of all the criminals that have worked their way into every agency of the federal government, that are working to censor us 24/7, committing hybrid warfare to mess with our mental peace and stability, seems almost impossible. It is similar to what the Colonists faced except worse: then the monarchy was an ocean away. Now the government which can surveil us 24/7 is potentially watching us all the time.
But we do not have to give them any extra power. There are way more of us than of them. We have truth on our side and an understanding of what works. On their side is Satan and continuous lies.
More and more people are seeing their lies, their hypocrisy, their crimes against innocent people all the time.
We must stick together to see this through before we die. Even if it is the last thing I do before I die, I want to do all I can to set this country back on track.
Eventually, as more and more truth comes out, the beliefs of this satanic group will be ridiculed. All the progressives who went along with the sexual perversions, DEI, the destruction of meritocracy, the destruction of our values and families, all of what they stand for will become objects of ridicule and they will end up ashamed of themselves. In fact, they eventually will try to hide how they acted and felt, and try to appear as if they were patriots all along.
But I think there will have to be a reckoning. People who committed treason will have to account to our country for their treasonous acts. They will have to suffer the consequences of treason. All the progressives who went along with treason will live with shame for the rest of their lives. Then they will all have to meet their maker. That day can’t come soon enough, but there is a lot to accomplish between now and then.
Well said, Eve and thank you for the well stated comment!
what no one talks about or reports on is the United Nations Agenda 21 plan for a communist one world government liberals & rino’s have been pushing since elder Bush signed on to it with the UN!! I didn’t believe it when first heard so went to UN web site & found the document & also found UN has an Office of disarmament Affairs so I found a document there that says “we must conifscate weapons from civilians so we can finish implementing Agenda 21! Trump is only person I have heard say he is against it, wants to keep our sovereignty! 911nwo.com has copy of UN Agenda document!
Bush’s signature on a UN document does not override the US Constitution…
That sort of business could’ve constituted enough of a basis for impeachment if Congress actually would have bothered with it.
But our Congress is not that concerned about preserving American sovereignty now is it?
Actually it does. The only way the Constitution can be abrogated. Is by signed treaty.
Treaties require two-thirds vote of the Senate. Not a simple majority. Not a voice vote. Two-thirds. Otherwise that document is merely a suggestion.
I would disagree on that.
Abrogated is not the best word to use as no treaty is itself superior to the Constitution. At best it is respected as being on the same level so long as it’s not contradictory to that of the Constitution itself.
Which begs the question. Why treaties hostile to the precepts of the Constitution are entertained and not recognized as null and void? A lot of pretending and maintaining an air of legitimacy have much to do with that.
Any treaty inconsistent with the constitution is void. 1957 Reid V Covert.
Nope it doesn’t, you are right….But we are gonna have to realize as a citizen , that we now must fight for our country , our constitution and our rights. They have control now and threw the constitution in the shredder. We are at war but they are still trying to fool the masses by invoking the constitution when convenient. Half of our legal system is compliant, many of the blue state are compliant. When all this comes to a head it will depend on our reaction and the red states reaction.
They are criminals with badges and judge’s robes!
As Sundance speaks for our zeitgeist, you, too, are channeling God, Eve Rowell.
Why would anyone merely “channel” God , whatever that implies, when you can come right out and say His name? I liked much of what Eve Rowell was saying but why leave God out? When men or women seem to think we can fix everything ourselves, pride does go before the fall.
Yes, the criminals have as their leader, Satan, but you neglected to mention WHO is on OUR side—Almighty God the Father of us all. He parted the Red Sea for the Hebrews and and He can part the the sea of villains we are currently ruled by. Greater is He that is in us than He that is in the world.
ditto
What are some of the things you are doing to help get our country back on track that we could also be doing?
Respectfully, Eric I have been at this point of realisation for some time, but also realised that we can not rush history, or people who aren’t there yet.
And, there is a YUGE difference between saying “We can’t vote our way out of this” and saying “so we shouldn’t bother voting.”
I strongly agree its going to take a lot more than voting, to “fix” things, but I just as strongly DISAGREE with any notion that we “shouldn’t vote”.
except for RINO’s……….right?
My sincere sympathy.
My sympathy and prayers as you navigate this inconceivable loss. May you feel God’s peace and His strength within your soul.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you have supportive people in your life. Lifting you up in prayer.
I’m so sorry! But I think he’s waiting for you on the other side.
So very sorry for your loss.
wvgal57, am deeply sorry for the loss of your only child. May the branches here offer solace.
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that Pain.
god bless
The corruption is to big theorie is false, and what needs to get done is civic duty non stop and in your face no apologies civic duty , lol we can do what needs to be done
“The corruption is to big theorie is false. .. .”
Yes.
The “all is lost” comment, made above and immediately seconded, is also the quickest way to identify the concern trolls and FUD purveyors.
VSGDJT is versed in the art of the deal and the art of what is possible. So many complain alleged-Trumpers complain about what he did not do. The truly incredible accomplishment is that he was able to keep the country on the right path, prosperous, and out of war against overwhelming opposition.
VSG indeed!
BRAVO!!!!
people don’t look at me like i’m nut’s ,when i say that anymore. when the deep state saw that scene at the chick-fil-a with trump and the girl,and other’s, i would imagine they decided to black swan us for sure.
I really feel for Donald Trump having to navigate through these shark infested waters to do business for the sake of our country.
It makes one miss SOH Empty Chair. Bring back Empty Chair!!
You know what does really well navigating through shark infested waters? A shark! It’s Trump’s place to make sure that they are far more afraid of him then he is of them.
He can handle it! It’s his wheel house. He looks like a President! Joe needs to be in the nursing home. How dumb can people be?
Even Johnson needs to be in the nursing home. He looks so tiny and insignificant in that photo.
I thought this was an exceptionally good article about Johnson, and the illustration that accompanies it says it all:
https://canadafreepress.com/article/another-deep-state-sleeper
Thanks SD…, That should explain the previous endorsements of UniParty republican’ts to the purists out there.
This isn’t the 1st time that PDJT has had to swim in shark infested waters. The goal is always to survive to beat them from another angle.
He’s a fighter & I’ll stand with him every time.
He maybe the only one
It is absolutely shameful that we can’t get a MAGA Patriot as SOH.
All we ever get are milquetoast RINOs, and I am sick and tired of it.
It’s highly doubtful we can ever vote our way out of this tyranny!
The swamp begins in our own backyards and bubbles up to DC.
Start eliminating and replacing the swamp locally and eventually there will be no swamp left to swim up stream.
Well said.
SO important – yet too few people even vote in the Republican primaries and then feel good about voting for all Republicans vs Democrats in the General election. They are automatically sending the same scum back to DC and have no idea who they are voting for at local levels.
To replace the well-funded, very visible incumbents, we’ve got to get behind local candidates and build grassroots support. I’m in Florida. I see the Desantis-chosen Tallahassee swamp-rats moving into the local areas to run for State Senate and State Rep to build up their resumes for their next career move (likely DC). They come with all the ‘right’ endorsements. And they use their dirty money for dirty attacks against the everyday working person, stepping into the arena, hoping to make a difference.
Same applies to city council, county commissioners and other local offices – even the local Republican Executive Committee Officers. Tallahassee makes a very strong, often successful effort to control it all. No doubt, most other states are the same way
Good comments. It’s easy to focus on the macro and miss out on what we can do right in our backyard. Or even in our own state. I recently heard an interview with Daniel Horowitz of the Blaze on some podcast. I think it was the Shannon Joy show. He is mobilizing constitutionalists in key states and he is all about holding Trump’s influencers responsible when Trump drifts center or left. Anyway the fellow impressed me. Here is the link if you are the take action type:

Robin, at least you see this with clarity.
Before 2009, local elections and primaries were not even a thought among the common voter…so in a relatively short time, citizens such as yourself got educated and we forced ourselves to go into the unfamiliar world of politics. In that short period of time, we went from zero to what we know today. The learning curve was steep and wasted some good years fighting national batters. As time went on, we learned to fight the battles we could win; that is, the local ones. My estimate is that effort started in earnest four or five years ago and is now starting to see some fruit. Hopefully, learning is compounded as the years go forward.
As long as they have the fisa power to spy doesn’t matter who we vote for. When they get control over money CBDC, that’s when the curtains and pretending come down. One of their major miscalculations JMO was giving too much power to Xi, Xi will get a coalition to destroy the Globalist. He is working on Russia right now and has won loyalty from DC creeps. Has put his tentacles throughout the world. But he will turn on the Globalist banksters for total control. Executions galore.
I hope the citizens realize by November election how extremely important it is to make sure Trump gets into office….it wont’t end there …we will have to put the fear to them backed by our numbers and show of force. Prosecutions need to happen left and right …..first thing….I wonder if Trump will be forced to confront Xi…looks like a possibility.
November is do or die time.
Yes!!!! This should be the last time we hold our noses and vote for whatever R is on the ballot.
We must this election to preserve the majority. The Uniparty wants to lose the house, don’t let them.
Trump needs an R house to push off Impeachment 3.0.
After this election, the day after, we need to work on finding, supporting and voting for MAGA candidates for every local, county and state office – along with the local GOP offices. Start small and local, then grow out – that’s how we eliminate the Uniparty.
And understand it is State R parties Leadership that guarantee the Rinos will get into office in the U.S. Senate and House, the leadership positions in the State Legislatures, the Governors, SoS’s, County Recorders and Boards (the ones who count the votes, and supervise the cheat!).
Not if we all do our part to inform and lobby our states for reforms. Or we could always do the under handed. Cheat them out of a cheat…
Some states have not had their primaries yet. Florida is one of them. There are some very good candidates running against some very bad ones – incumbents as well as open seats (Florida has term limits for State Rep and State Senate). The good ones, in Florida and everywhere, need our help and support.
How about it.
This election is probably our last chance. After that we can talk about alternative actions. We didn’t get into this mess overnight. Conservatives fell asleep at the wheel decades ago. It’s not gonna be solved in one or two election cycles.
That should not be a surprise.
The US CONgress has been a self licking ice cream cone for a very long time.
911nwo.com has copy of UN Agenda 21 – the plan for a one world communst gov. liberals & rino’s have been working on since Bush signed on in 1992!! NO one is reporting on this!! Another thing no one reports on is CIA OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD, that tells main stream media what they can report on!! I researched that also!!
Calm down Doris. Bushes signature on a UN document,DOES NOT override our US Constitution..
News Flash……What constitution. This government does not follow the constitution.
Retired Magistrate here: Oh my gosh; look at the look that President Trump is giving Johnson in the second photograph. President Trump is doing what he has to do to keep the Republican majority in the House. However, that does not mean that he likes it.
Exactly. There seems to be a certain crowd that doesn’t get that though. President Trump ain’t quitting, and we shouldn’t quit on HIM.
Trump is our only hope of saving this country, liberals & rino’s are implementing UN Agenda 21 plan for a communist one world gov. Bush signed on in 1992!! NO ONE ever reports on this!!I heard Glen Beck talk about it 10yrs ago & I didn’t believe it so went to UN web site & found document & also UN has an office of disarmament affairs so got that document & one line says “we must confiscate weapons from civilias so we can finish implementing Agenda 21! The plan says NO ONE can own a home or business, open borders on the list & UN bringing men to our border!! 911nwo.com has picture of UN Agenda 21 document!
The certain crowd needs to understand that PDJT, as a long – time businessman, looks at everything as if they were ledgers and spreadsheets and puts his emotions aside. IOW, he is transactional.
Same look Pres. Trump gave to Fauci, Birx and Pence during their Covid task force briefings.
YES! Exactly like that look.
mikey looked like an uncomfortable bobble head.
If anyone knows how corrupt this is,it’s PDJT. It was used AGAINST him. He is fighting the slime in DC with most of the voters who have never heard of FISA. Now is not the time to give up and clutch your pearls…Either you’re a Wolverine or not!
He will regret this !
I watched him during the entire speech and my opinion was that he was NOT happy. I saw disgust on his face when he looked at Johnson sucking up to him. President Trump will do what he needs to do. It’s just too bad he has to deal with this right now
I watched him Very closely. He did not look pleased to me…jmo
Trump was a builder in NYC. He knows how and when to make temporary alliances with mafia to keep a project going on schedule. The time to settle scores is AFTER he wins and is in his strongest possible position.
So true. We can’t cave now, and Mike Johnson everyone give the guy a break. We still have a Majority, despite the one vote. 7 more months. Whatever Trump wants, Me and my husband want.We are in our early 70’s.
Yes! Thank you Marcia for recognizing and voicing exactly what I also saw.
The entire time Johnson was speaking, Trump’s demeanor was “interesting”!
Yes. Trump knows what he must do to get to November 5th, what he must do to get from November to January 20th 2025, and he knows what he can then do after January 20th. Three different time periods requiring three different approaches and three different coalitions of allies.
MTG is the proverbial loose cannon.
She’s right in every way about Johnson, but not good timing.
I agree she is right. She often is and she often is one of the few to speak out … BUT she is also ‘Team McCarthy’. He has reportedly been trying to sabotage the House since he was ousted as Speaker. Is MTG intentionally helping him? She was quick to say Johnson was being black-mailed. Is this projection? The same thing was said about her when she was very out of character in her support for McCarthy.
Proverbial dumba$$
KEEP Her on a Leash, LET Her Keep Barking and Snapping at ” the Johnson ”
” GOOD PITBULL MTG, GOOD pitbull ”
( remember She MIGHT BITE – YOU ! )?resize=768,512
She was leading chants on the jailhouse steps for the J6ers.
Next we see the cozy pictures of her with McCarthy followed by J6er bashing saying they deserved everything they got.
After this, I watched her go to every Trump rally in any state trying to get on stage to redeem herself…whether giving pre rally speeches or trying to push her way onto the stage with Trump.
Now she’s trying to set the stage for an anti Trump house in 2024 by getting rid of Johnson.
My best guess is she’s still doing McCarthys bidding..
Agree, she’s worked hard to get Trump’s attention and to get close to him and his inner circle. What sweet little Georgia business woman lifts 200 lb. wgts everyday, and has an arsenal of weapons in her home like she does? Hmm, CIA personnel does that’s who.
Oh Come on. You know she loves us and her constituents and has more ballz than the men.
I’m not feeling it Katy.
Its rrally very simple. Ignore EVERYTHING else, and just look at ONE thing.
Is she “serving’ in Congress?
Was she selected? Majewski, Mastriano , DePerno, Karamo were NOT, because the RNC, and McCarthy withheld funding vital to getting elected, from them.
Its documented the 3 Mcs did this, in 2022.
You CAN NOT WIN, against a Dem opponent that has DNC and DCCC unlimited funding, unless you have matching RNC and RNCC funding.
MTG got such funding, because she sold out to the Mc’S, otherwise she wouldn’t be there, she would be out, like Majewski.
McCarthy got her on committees. She appreciates that and was loyal.
EVIL Skeletor Pelosi kicked her off all committees.
MTG is Brave. I value that more than any other trait.
She is Passionate, has a sense of urgency, and hates the FILTHY Commie Democrats/GOP Whores.
MTG is right about Evil Johnson, and there is no “timing” for truth. He has to go.
MTG also talks against Laura Loomer, who has President Trumpfs best interests at heart!
Cat fight over whose most loyal.
I may have agreed with you a year ago, now, no, she has shown her true colors too many times. Her position is NOT like President Trump’s. Give her another couple decades and she’ll be Lindsey Graham.
I am worried about stopping the WHO takeover in a couple of weeks. Not worried about what Marjorie Taylor Green will doing 20 years from now.
Maybe her arsenal is because of the swatting she had to endure.
I’ll take MTG any day of the week over 90+% of the Republican’t House members
The devil you know is not as bad bad as the devil you don’t.
The devil from Georgia
No!
.
Maybe Trump needs FISA…
10,000 portals for access to the NSA database. Surely we’ve used at least 1 to get the goods on the bad guys, preferably without a warrant!
Maybe Trump could get a Warrant without needing FISA at all?
Trump has been subject to FISA for going on 10 years. They still have not found him guilty of a crime. I think in the grand scheme of things, FISA can wait, but winning over the house and senate conclusively is paramount…
I think there are only 3 comments for a reason.
We are sick and tired of going along with an idea and getting killed later.
Obamacare ring a bell? These FILTHY Congressmen need to be dealt with harshly.
SO the UNIPARTY “Retires” a bunch of Rot, enough to keep the Bank open for Zelensky since its too risky to remove this POS Christian “Speaker”.
Quite the mess. It won’t work.
The House has been flipped. Tell me what the difference is between Johnson & Jeffries?
I know, I know… the Electoral College and Congress won’t certify election.
So you REALLY think Johnson won’t do EXACTLY what Jeffries wouldn’t do?
GTFOH.
*would*
Jeffries will pass a law to keep Trump off the ballot. It will become law. Is it legal? I don’t know, but why give him the opportunity.
Don’t think Johnson won’t too.
Again: the House HAS been flipped.
I agree it is bad, but it hasn’t been completely been flipped. If Jeffries becomes Speaker, all heck will break loose against Trump. With Johnson as Speaker, he can keep the Marxists at bay.
Wait, wut?!
He just authorized unwarranted spying on American citizens!
His vote was the very one to authorize.
If that ain’t Marxist I don’t know what is.
It is the same disastrous law that has been in place for decades. Do you not care that Jeffries would pass a law to keep Trump off the ballot?
What do you think the continuation of FISA spying is all about?
So they can spy on you?
Sorry, but no one gives a shlt about you and me.
Think about it!
Easy question so easy answer – without Speaker Johnson NO MORE CONGESSNAL INVESTIGATIONS!!
I am not happy about the situation but your premise that there is NO difference is factually wrong.
Hahahahaha!
You have GOT to be kidding me? “Congressional investigations?”
Hahahahaha!
CI’s which turn into dust, at the end of this session.
Some people actually enjoy being entertained by kabuki theater.
Johnson spent a lot of time talking about how easy it is in many states to have non citizens vote. He talk about passing another “performative” bill in the House to prove citizenship, but he knows it will go nowhere in the Senate. More importantly, he failed to mention that every 10 years illegal immigrants must be counted in the census, thus increasing the number of electoral count votes in many liberal states.
The votes not cast are sometimes as telling as the ones that are.
And its NOT illegals ACTUALLY voting, once they are on the poll lists, somebody can vote for them.
That’s definitely the plan in Pennsylvania. The crook who started it is now the governor, and registering to vote at the DMV has increased 43% since illegals were permitted to register.
The unctuous Joshua Shapiro has presidential ambitions.
Hmm 🤔.
Interesting perspective.
I believe you might be on to something with this observation.
Speaking about Sundance’s comment, or Left the GOP?
Sundance’s comments and observations.
I meant “electoral college” votes which are determined by the population of the state, which in turn can increase the number of members of the House elected in the state, which in turns determines the number electoral college votes.
THE 10-YEAR CENSUS(TOTAL POPULATION)= CITIZENS AND NON-CITIZENS, INCLUDING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS;
INCREASE IN TOTAL POPULATION OF A STATE BY APPROX. 750,000 = ONE NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT
ONE NEW CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT = ONE ADDITIONAL ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. ASSUMING MOST ARE AT VOTING AGE, OR WILL BE BY THE 2030 CENSUS,
15 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS COUNTED IN THE CENSUS COULD ADD 20 NEW SEATS IN THE HOUSE AND ADD 20 MORE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES IN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS. So the question is: how many of those 15 million “Biden” illegals will vote for Democrats in blue/red states, probably electing more Democrats to the House, thereby giving a Democrat Presidential candidate an bigger majority in the electoral college vote . My guess: 80%!
Yes. Upthread comments haven’t even addressed it. Hmmm…going down lots of other bunny rabbit trails. Everyone miss the point?
The real President Trump is very much aware, of the number of cowardly rino eunuchs still in the house. Keeping that razor thin majority in place until the next election, is monumentally important. Every MAGA Patriot is here to support President Trump. We will win, as failure is not an option.
How come!
Djt calls out plugs and not the organization behind him?
Maybe it’s not the Barry bunch, but it’s background handlers.
When you fly this high, you can see and smell rhe crapolllla
It’s PDJT, not Djt. You fail,
ha-ral-dough
Agree, basically, though a not aghast, outraged or surprised. America is a Clown Show. The republic fell in 2020. Once Trump decided in 2021 to run as a Republican again, I lost interest in him.
Why are you here?
Because I enjoy Sundance’s writing and approach even though I don’t share all of his views. I would like nothing better than for Trump to ride in on a White Horse and dispel the Black Riders of the Money Power etc. I just don’t see evidence that this can happen based on what has been and now currently is happening.
I would be delighted to be proven wrong.
I look at it this way. PDJT was a fantastic canary. He’s still singing. He’ll continue singing those warnings if/when he regains POTUS office. I’m good with that.
The rest, the real action and missions, are up to us. The enemy is formidable. Communists always are. They never go down easy, if history is any guide.
Is the Republic worth our full and final measure of devotion, if it comes to that? IMO, yes it is. The Republic is more important than any one man. Millions have given their lives for it over the centuries. That’s the way it is. Freedom isn’t free.
I hope you are right though I suspect the correct way forward is to start over. Am English, so not an expert on US history, but I gather the Constitutional Convention was a conflicted affair and the resultant constitution a compromise job. Certainly it seems that much that it presumably wanted to prevent (tyrannical government, empire-building) has come to pass. Some say the Civil War was due to machinations from the Old World and its Money Power grandees so in some sense the nation was already deeply compromised after less than a century and its been downhill ever since, albeit for a while there was great prosperity.
In any case, I suspect there is no valid path forward viz reform. Look what happened to Trump (who I like but do not worship). He has been on the back foot every single day since winning the election in 2016. He is being dragged into Court on Monday for an obviously bogus book-keeping quibble threatened with years in jail. An ex-President. Clearly being harassed and humiliated by a corrupt, unelected regime. And he can do nothing. Can anyone seriously doubt that the same shit-show will continue if he is President again? Of course it will continue. He will remain on the back foot for another four years and the Republic will be that much worse by then.
Is there a serious, viable plan to eliminate the corruption in DC (and beyond)? If there is, presumably it is secret. If it is secret, it is part of the Deep State problem, not part of the solution. Revolution? Violence is not the way. Secessions is the way forward, I suspect. The Union failed. So break it up. Go back to the States for a generation or two. And if a new Union is formed, fashion a new and better constitution. This one failed and is no longer fit for purpose.
Glad to see the continued interest in this article from Sundance.
I pose a question…. what is the path to secession, one path you posit, where the opponent resists it? Do you think the Communists will resist, or not?
Forex, we have an example of states seceding in our past, a time period which came to be known as the Civil War. Can you envision such an event proceeding without violence? If yes, how would you flesh that process out?
I’m simply one of those lifelong peaceful citizens who was a direct product of a war survivor, a European theater combat vet, seeking answers to an often mind-numbing question. Frankly, I just want to be left alone to practice the peaceful, inherent freedom God has granted us all. The Communists task me, daily. I don’t like that, or them. Something will happen. Count on it.
I hope your posit has traction. 🙂
Thanks for your reply. I suspect the only traction now is between us two, and this might be it!
I occasionally correspond with Paul Craig Roberts, whose short, pithy writing style I admire, not to mention his real-world experience in diplomacy and finance. Have floated the same Secession idea which he is hugely against even as he regularly deplores the fact that America is a fallen republic. He is a Southerner and they regard the Civil War as a catastrophe.
I don’t pretend to know all the ins and outs of Secession nor what happened exactly in the Civil War. I gather the main issue involved something along the lines of: the Southern States mainly exchanged agricultural products for English manufactures – furniture, clothing, hats, dresses etc. The North wanted to develop industry, not having the climate for agriculture, and therefore wanted the South to start buying their inferior manufactures. Doubtless there is more to it than that – there always is – but that was one of the main quarrels. Here there was a clear difference between South and North already extant before the Civil War.
In the current situation, there are a sizable number of US citizens who ‘want their country back’ and there is a significant over-reach on the part of ‘the Elites’ who comprise a relatively fascist union of ‘state and corporate power’ and who now, via the MICIMATT, exert excessive control over the cultural, political, financial and economic life of the citizenry. That is the divide. This divide is evidenced in the current electoral process which is a clumsy, overly media-driven affair with questionable relevance in terms of its ability to actually change anything on the political or cultural level. The yearning is clearly there, the need for reform is obvious; but effective means are not readily apparent.
I try to think logically and simply, though of course don’t always succeed and don’t always know enough to form a valid opinion. But it seems to me – logistics and tactics aside – that the Constitution has failed in its mission. One can argue until the cows come home as to the who, what and whys of this failure, and also could argue that the failure is only partial and can be remedied so no nuclear option is yet required, but when I see things like
assassination of JFK in public with clear cover-up by the perpetrators after
total lies about 9/11
blatantly stolen election in 2020 after false flags riots organized by the usual suspects
blatantly false Insurrection Story
then it seems to me that the Republic has already fallen and exists mainly as a fig leaf or aspirational Ideal, not an actual, working polity. Can the Deep State be excised and/or reformed? Given the above (abbreviated) list, does that seem likely? Look what happened to Trump who was not all that much of threat to them, at least in terms of what he did.
I suspect their main fear is that as President he could reveal how corrupt they are and so they kept him on the back foot legally and are still doing so today – he ONLY gets to play defence that way, never offence; his policies – what he could actually get done as President – were fine and didn’t threaten the Fed, the Israelis, Wall Street nor, clearly Intelligence. Perhaps the threat was that he would act as a President in the interests of the People, not their interests, but again in terms of what he actually did, they suffered no great damage and indeed have kept increasing their share of the national wealth through both recent administrations.
In any case, if I am right, then there is no apparent way to reform a system that is now overly corrupt in that it is essentially now owned and controlled by international criminal cartels. That being the case, the only remedy for the People is to dissolve the Union and go back to smaller jurisdictions, aka The States.
How that might be done practically speaking I have no idea. But if it cannot be done, that is another failure on the part of the Constitution, and – to my way of thinking – another sign that the Union has not only failed the People, but is now their Enemy. Of course, this might all be naive, ill-informed thinking.
Afterthought: let us say Trump gets elected again. Does anyone think they won’t continue their lawfare? Or is their a plan to stop them this time, actually go on offence? I don’t yet see any evidence of that, indeed the opposite. Last election, Trump said it was all rigged but they were going to get so many votes that they couldn’t cheat their way out of defeat. What happened? He got MILLIONS of extra votes, even after hundreds of thousands or more were cast away in the gutter by corrupt postal workers etc, and lost after they closed down several key swing state counting areas. And what is he recommending now? The EXACT SAME APPROACH but expecting a different result. He slogan is the same: ‘Make America Great Again’ after he set up the worst setback it has ever had in the form of Biden’s illegitimate, bumbling regime. And he even transfers Hillary’s nickname, ‘Crooked’, (whom he did NOT prosecute as he should have done to uphold his oath of office) to Biden. Does this look like a serious attempt to do much better and different than before? I would like to believe it, but I cannot yet see it. I think that, as usual, we are being played. Trump seems sincere to me, but he is a TV generation man and is most likely fooling himself. Maybe he has a 5D plan to take down the Deep State, and I hope for the country’s sake that he does, but I for one am not able to place blind faith in such a thing after witnessing the complete shit-show that the US has become the past few decades.
(This is way too long but will take much longer to cut down and still only takes 2-3 mins to read so…. enjoy!!)
The Republic fell in 1963.
Agree
Good point. Or 1913. Or with the Civil War. Look at all the assassinated Presidents earlier on.
Did it ever really actually come together?
Not sure.
Whatever is the case, the Republic as idealized hasn’t existed as such for a very long time. But now with the blatant theft of the 2020 election and the current disgraceful treatment of an ex-President and current front-runner is clar and present evidence that the Republic as constituted no longer exists. Of that much we can be sure. Unpleasant, but true. As I said in another reply above, I think Secession is the way forward. Maybe a new Union with a new Constitution in a New Republic can be forged later, taking the best from the First Republic, but first the current one needs to be jettisoned as no longer fit for purpose. It failed. Time to break it down. Legally and non-violently. By lawfully withholding consent. The proper constitutional way to do this is to Secede from a Union which clearly has failed.
Aww, make you happy if he ran as democrat???
DJT looks like he wants to yell “You’re fired.”
Repeating for emphasis….
” removing Johnson right now would be tantamount to a hostile anti-Trump shift in the House”
How so?…….Just leave the chair vacant…..what would happen? Sincere question.
We have six months until the most important in election history. Vacating the chair is not a wise move. Yes, I do question why MTG and Steve Bannon are for this. MTG voted for Kevin McCarthy, who gave Biden everything he wanted. She lost my trust a long time ago. Not sure what Steve Bannon is thinking.
Bannon and Charlie Kirk are idiots.
Bannon was the choir director, with his “posse” just as Gaetz was the Stage Director, that both gave us Kevin he’s our hoor McCarthy, who gave away everything and then they r&r’d him, to give us this Speaker McJohnson.
And Bannon has had what 2-3 close members of his team, that have turned nevertrumper?
Bannons been off coarse for some time, IMHO.
Sloppy Steve showed what he was made of when he worked in the White House, flapping his gums, not being smart about making the wrong comment at the wrong time. He’s got a consistent record of peeing down his own leg. I wouldn’t waste a nanosecond on his hopium.
Bannon was absolutely anti McCarthy from day one.
And as for any Bannon backstabbers, they were banished immediately.
Maybe Bannon’s not everyones cup of team, but there is no fiercer Trumper
or patriot in todays media than Stephen K. Ask Peter Navarro.
Agreed. I watch Bannon every day. He is fighting for Trump and America.
Yes Bannon and many others were hopeful Johnson would pan out. What would have been your solution? Don’t remember Bannon specifically pushing for McCarthy or Johnson…just a spectator like the rest of us. Gaetz was successful in pushing the house back to doing their jobs and taking complete control away from the speaker. It would be up to the reps. to push to do their job. with many RINOs there is no will but they only want to collect their money and do the will of the globalist. It is easy to be the back seat driver and only offer criticism. At least there are some sticking their neck out.
It’s so insane
I Call
Johnson periodically to tell him what a disaster he is
We are so screwed
phone calls don’t do diddly … I have ZERO faith in this congress
Agreed.
Everyone has to make the choices for themselves as to how to move forward. People piling on others here because they don’t agree with the choice that person has made is even less helpful. One of the things I have always liked about CTH is the respect that people show each other here, especially for different opinions. It’s disappointing to see people tell others to “grow up” or that “they didn’t read” something. Perhaps a look in the mirror by those commenters could be helpful.
Trump is in a difficult position with this. Perhaps he has an agreement with Johnson to somehow minimize the impact of this after the election. I can’t imagine what that would be, but what is the lessor of two evils? Lose the house before the election or hold on to win and then try to recover? Trump not winning probably means both houses of congress in a Democratic majority. How is that helpful? Right now, IMO, Trump has to do what he has to do to win the election and get inaugurated. Beyond that, he’ll have to see what the specific landscape is before him with Congress and go from there.
By no means is a Trump victory guaranteed. Even if he wins, the obstacles he faces seem almost insurmountable. Almost.
Here’s my posit. The Communists are backstopping a PDJT victory, now a decided and distinct probability, with a Congress and judicial/law enforcement system loaded with their soldiers to fight him every step of the way for four years and render any VP he might forward as a prospect for 2028 as impotent.
I view his work now as excellent opportunities to unearth more Communists and their collaborators for what is to come. He’s done a fine job. I hope he keeps it up 🙂
Our new tone bothers me too, I think we have a lot of new posters/readers, and they’re mostly aware how short the time is to salvage a discarded Republic. Maybe more aware of the country’s existential crisis than they are Sundance’s rules which have for over a decade kept the comments mostly civil.
Excellent comment – especially the last word.
Mike is a very small man. And he looks even smaller next to President Trump.
He looks like a little sweetie pie..,and that’s not a compliment.
I can see him with small children without even blinking an eye.
Am wondering if that’s how they’ve blackmailed him.
I watched the presser and noticed he would not look at PDJT. I’ve also noticed he does not like to make eye contact often with any one. When the potato gave his SOTU, he couldn’t figure out where he wanted to look. Stared at the floor for the most part.. Pure whimp..
..same as 30 pence…….
Thank you! I knew he reminded me of someone…
Wonder away but he is what there is to work with for now.
Radar O’Reilly without the balls or character.
If Jeffries becomes Speaker, then they will pass a law to kick Trump off the ballot. This is why it is not wise to vacate the Speaker. We only have six months. We will crash land into November 5th, but Republicans need to be in the majority on November 5th, or it will get much worse.
Must say I was a bit surprised at Trump’s response when asked about the renewal.
He seemed very nonchalant, saying something like, “I told them to do whatever.” I guess not calling out Johnson is part of that navigating the shark infested waters Sundance speaks of.
That part was interesting. There’s a lot going on there behind the scenes.
We are in a very dangerous situation right now. The democrats new plan is to accept Trump as President then dump every bit of their dumpster file agenda on Trump. Six months into Trump’s presidency the main street media and deep state will have the ignorant masses convinced that Trump is the reason for the economic woes. The only hope is to have a well-funded plan in place to indite the traitors and kick out ~40 million illegal aliens in 2025. It will be nasty but needs to be done.
I concur.
What an impossible situation to be in. DJT wants to drain the swamp and yet now he has to play in the swamp with the said creatures. Politics is ugly, disgusting, and the whole DC system needs to be 🔥 to the ground. The only thing that can save DC is term limits. Somebody get that on the docket and passed. Then I’ll have hope that our constitutional republic can be saved.
Term limits would not appreciably change the dynamic in D.C.
How much more would Congress critters rely on their staffers to get up to speed after their first election, who are unelected themselves? How many of those interns and all get fast tracked into the senior executive service and eventually appointed as agency heads?
This would do little to the 4th branch with their ability to blackmail and control persons of interest nor the K-Street lobbyists with perks for votes.
True MAGA patriots will never be the majority in Congress. You will never rid the swamp of all the rats, so at least term limits curbs the permanent uniparty swamp creatures. It’s not a perfect solution, but I’m all ears on any suggestions you have to actually try to fix this.
A better solution would be to limit the power of these offices by other means. Consider why these Congressmen so readily spend nine figures campaigning for a six figure salary and more “donations” for desirable committee assignments from the senior leadership. Less influence to sell, the less valuable an “investment”.
Of course, you will not see Congress willingly limit their own influence. Extreme Federalism on the other hand, practiced by enough States might make enough inroads to that end. Certainly would be the start of a restoration of balance mostly lost since 1913. But that is only the beginning of what ought to be.
Yes they get us caught up in the weeds….(term limits)….when the answer is no lobbyist….congress must do their job and take control back……no stock market……live in their district….get rid of IC power ie. FISA.
Think of it a congress that truly represented us would have reformed tax control “IRS” along time ago….reformed healthcare…would have safe guarded SS, would have had to have a balanced budget….none of these promises ever happened.
A thoroughbred stallion and a gelding. Not even in the same stratosphere.
What a humble man Trump is, having to abide these sewer rats.
God bless him, not many could do what he does.
With all due respect SD, this looks bad. We want PT to drain the swamp and here he is defending a top swamp rat.
I doubt Johnson is swamp rat. I simply think he’s cornered, like almost everyone else on the Hill.
You can be a good person, have good will and plans, and find yourself and those you love or respect cornered right there with you.
Believe it or not, the Dems, who always vote as a pack, have among them a goodly number of moderate Dems who have been cornered before they came for the GOP.
The are cowards, but I do believe some say to themselves, “I better than the alternatives. I have to stick with this and wait them out.”
Some are downright frightened, I believe, of what might happen to them and yes, even their families, if they stray from the pack.
THAT IS HOW CORRUPT THINGS ARE. A groups criminals who yes, would kill, rule them, and thus, us.
He might be a swamp mice. A small one.
I am reminded of how few people really have a spine. Fear of your loved ones suffering because of you is overwhelming, paralyzing.
Yes, fear is a potent motivator, for both oneself and one’s loved ones. It can definitely be paralyzing.
I’m also reminded that battles are engaged and wars won by scared men who’d rather be somewhere else. We can review history for many, many examples throughout time.
Accepting our fear, we still have choices. We still have free will. We decide. We can adapt to the acceptance of it and overcome the paralysis. We can do it 🙂
Johnson is doing the Swamp’s bidding so there is no daylight between him and any other swamp rat. Unofficial pejorative titles are immaterial here. It is solely the mans actions that count.
Agreed; Catch 22.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. President Trump knows that. Seriously…whatever it takes.
Most people think of the moment. Great strategists think ahead. Sundance and Trump know what is going on.
So why aren’t we told?
If something happens in this country, if the Democrats have their way, there will…. you know they will blame Republicans for not passing this FISA
If they are smart they could reason as MTG did…if they wanted to protect us they don’t need FISA but had it and they still allowed terrorist in…Why didn’t they arrest them with the infinite FISA power/s.
Watch the part where Johnson is talking, with the volume muted.
Johnson looks like Dennis the Menace, and PDJT is “Red” in “That 70’s Show”,…saying “Dumbass!”
I hope PT gets to the point…where he thinks we are at the point…..to just crash this sh!t show now .We will not last through the election.
Fisa works both ways.
The 80% rule followed by Ronald Reagan! If I can get 80% of what I want, then I can fight like Hell down the line to get the other 20% for my side!!! We shall see how things progress from here! Part of that is forcing Johnson to only go with the two years instead of the five because then it can be ripped apart and torn to shreds in 2026 by a Republican President and a Republican House and Senate without Johnson or McConnell in leadership!!! 🤔
From day one Trump has shown us who he is, a decent, tough, bluntly honest man. He started a movement that is reverberating around the world, and he’s done it with class, humility, and humor.
His battles won’t be over when he wins, they will just begin with cock thistles like Johnson at the helm.
I believe the RINOs are threating Mike Johnson to vote their way or they will leave Congress, handing the majority to Jeffries. I don’t even think the Deep State is involved. The telltale sign is Mike Gallagher leaving after the deadline for a special election. All those people criticizing Mike Johnson may soon realize that Johnson may be trying to protect President Trump from Hakeem Jeffries and the Marxist Democrats.
Now that sounds plausible …..thanks.
Trump must be a megalomaniac if he thinks he can control the beast!
S-can Johnson for being a sleazy tool. Stop the fake 3-d chess and play checkers for gawds sake.
Trump’s next term will all be played out in courtrooms anyway. Imagine 500 Fani’s and you might comprehend the democrat playbook.
.
It just popped onto my head:
‘Of Mice and Men’
Trump should have dumped this weasel today and canceled the meeting.
MJ cannot be SoH next year — he’s been a total disaster.
That was a good presser from the perspective of a viewing audience. Smoothly done. They are using the illegal immigrant crisis to request national proof of citizenship to vote. Good tactical move (although just a step towards voter integrity).
I definitely got the impression that fixing the fisa issue is still on Trump’s agenda….on hold for another day when better positioned.
Any Treeper(s) research and locate pictures of President Trump, in his youth and in military school? Well, if you have, then you will note the expression on his face is the same expression in his pictures from toddler to adult; he was not expressing any derision, distrust or anger to Speaker Johnson. That’s Donald J. Trump’s normal listening, paying attention face.
Speaker Johnson spoke just as I expected he would.
The political games are being played, just as expected; the deal with FISA is 2 years…damage control in effect; levers of power struggle to save face to battle another day.
Watch President Trump and what happens in the coming days and weeks.
Quite frankly, that was the most intelligent, logical, salient presser between the President of the United States and the Speaker of the House of Representatives that I have witnessed in more than 5 years.
I am also happy that my Georgia Representative Andrew Clyde, spoke out today against this vote, which he should always do for his constituency.
President Trump is doing much more work on this issue and many other political and ethical issues than is apparent to us.
I enjoyed President Trump and Speaker Johnson’s Joint Press Conference.
Mark this spot.
PT has so many issues that are on his plate…..he will need many loyal to go in and start pulling the weeds.
So Majorie Greene is UNI PARTY?
yeah, just a noisy one
Don’t label too early; gamesmanship at play now.
Hold on….
We are in the midst of a Catch 22…
There are those of us who just wish to be let alone.
We know….
I will stop at that.
GOD Bless Ya’ll.
(Note – For those who may have interest… – I did a “test” , and have found that G-MAIL decided that they do not want me to receive Subscriptions or Notifications from this CTH site, so I have changed to another Email provider that accepts CTH emails. This may not be the case for everyone, but it is the case for “Me”.
YMMV , of course, but Gmail did not want me to receive anything from this place in the last few months. I checked…
Best to you all~!)
P.P.s. – I see that I am awaiting “approval” and that is just fine as I changed my email from Gmail to another place. 😉
As a fellow ‘please leave me alone’ person, I ran across your post while reviewing the thread today and decided to test the e-mail address I have with this forum, one getting close to, whoa, 27 years out there now, to see if subscriptions are still working.
I tested it with a post upthread and, yes, no problem, e-mail with confirmation link arrived at my inbox within seconds. CTH has received no special dispensation, no ‘not spam’, no ‘ contact added’, nothing. It’s been reliable as long as I’ve been here, easy to see by the number after ‘Dunes’.
I’ve never used G-mail, just ‘Y” (sample here, not Yandex, the other) and Proton.
Thank to you Sir, for your reply to my comment.
I do not know for sure that there is any ‘Shenanigans” going on with the CTH Subscriptions/Notifications in regard to Gmail email accounts, (even though up until a few months ago there was no issue), but as I tried to mention in my earlier comment PPS, once I changed over to another more “secure” & less ‘possibly scrutinized for content”, and with using different email account provider, any earlier issues with receiving notices from CTH disappeared.
You will, if it is of concern to you depending on your own situation(s), have to decide on whatever you find to be the best options for YOU to deal with such possible issue IF it is similar to mine.
I have now found a reasonable solution to the issue I was having, and am happy to have changed to a different way of internet interaction, to make sure that my access to this & other places( websites) is not possibly “Skewed” by those who do not wish anyone to have other opinions than theirs to be shared.
IF ya know what I mean. (< I am pretty sure you know. 😉 )
Regardless, If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, Please let me know & I will do whatever I can do to assist you.
😉
Best Wishes to You & yours~!
GOD Bless!

May God Protect our great President Trump, our families and our country, I ask in Jesus Name. Amen.

Johnson is a snake.
Let us not insult snakes, who at least are honorable in that they do not pretend that they are something other than snakes!
As much as I don’t like speaker McMike I prefer him to speaker Jeffries, until President Trump takes office with a more majority in the house. If Jeffries was speaker before then the damage would be the end.
Trump and Johnson agreed illegals can’t vote in November. 2 things I wish they’d consider and address:
1) what if Biden declares amnesty a month before the election allowing them to vote, and…then what happens ?
2) when an illegal shows up at a polling site with a DMV voter registration card, who is going to ask them for citizenship papers?
I hope I’m missing something here, because this seems to be what will happen, and no Republican has even mentioned these scenarios.
President Trump is making the best of the many bad choices available to him now. He knows the whole story. We don’t. It continues to astonish me how he is able to keep his powder dry in the midst of these fire storms. That’s why he’s the leader we need. Things are only going to get more contentious as we progress through this year. We need to follow his example and keep our powder dry too.
Ex-Dominion executive’s defamation claims may proceed against Trump campaign and supporters
https://denvergazette.com/elections-2020/ex-dominion-executive-defamation-claims-may-proceed-against-trump-campaign/article_2d24e8f6-f809-11ee-b6f2-a7e2877e3116.html
This is insanity. There is a so much evidence proving that the voting machines, specifically DOMINION, are fraudulent. Two thousand pages, emails, criminal investigations, whistleblower testimonies backed by actual evidence—mountains upon mountains of evidence—and yet these entities rule against the truth.
Tomorrow, April 12th at 12 PM EST, Joe Oltmann will address this ruling in Coomer v. Trump for President et al.
It rules in favor of Dominion and election fraud, while labeling all the evidence that has come forward as lies, including Joe Oltmann.
This is what is frightening. The Law doesn’t matter. Lawyers in black robes don’t even have to pretend to follow the laws anymore. The law is what they say it is.
