I’m glad I waited before sharing the following analysis because I’m not as concerned today as I was when I originally read the Guardian article. Yesterday, The Guardian reported that Donald Trump Jr would be introducing the VP nominee at the RNC convention. According to them, that could indicate a strong likelihood of JD Vance as the nominee. That would be horrible.
However, what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks. The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; so, it’s a sequencing thing. Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.
There is, however, an unfortunate aspect to the articles predictions that is currently surfacing all over the media.
The top 3 finalists, according to a bazillion clickbait articles, are JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum. I have tried to stay away from the VP discussion because, well, it’s basically a clickbait conversation. Also, because if Donald Trump has not made up his mind months ago, then we are in more trouble than just the worry of a VP who might impede swamp draining.
If I have any accurate arrows of faith or pragmatic hope left in my quiver, then I am correct in thinking that Donald Trump made this decision a long time ago, and the Vice President nominee has long known exactly what the plan is. If my “begin with the end in mind” thinking is incorrect; well, then we’re in bigger trouble than 99% of MAGA Americans can fathom.
Having said that, I hope none of the aforementioned names are accurate, because the very specific and current attributes we need for what is going to be a 15-year generational effort in our Constitutional Republic are not held by either Vance, Burgum or certainly not Rubio.
Every consideration of the VP selection MUST pass through the prism of knowing who the malevolent enemy we are facing truly is, the Intelligence Community, the Fourth Branch of Government.
If President Trump hasn’t/doesn’t game out every step with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of who the enemy is, then the problem will never be solved.
The dangerous Intelligence Community (IC) to be faced is Six Eyes, not Five, with one historically never discussed.
Worse still, they just launched the Seventh Eye in anticipation of Trump winning in November.
Yes, that’s correct. At the same non-accidental time the IC decided Joe Biden was their least hopeful option, an actual risk – which was additionally triggered by the recent SCOTUS ruling, the global IC power structure launched a proactive Seventh Eye {SEE HERE} for the purpose of attacking the risk Trump represents and defending themselves. [Now do you see why I have spent the past eight months physically crisscrossing their network?]
A true ‘begin with the end in mind’ approach to deconstructing this domestic and geopolitical mess, which is to say an honest perspective about the root cause of our metastatic symptoms, requires admitting to ourselves that any VP nomination to stand beside President Trump must come with a specific set of traits.
From that perspective to find who is best, we must consider who has the least amount of attack vectors the enemy can exploit. That approach disqualifies Burgum, Vance and most certainly Rubio.
An attack vector is a vulnerability for the IC to exploit. An attack vector can be preexisting, or it can simply be a place where pressure applied creates a vulnerability.
The greater the attack vector potential of the individual, the more distant from the center (the office of the presidency) the person must be. The greater the attack vector potential, the less importance on the tasks assigned. This doesn’t mean people with attack vectors should be disqualified from operations, it only means you consider the vulnerability up front and don’t assign them to critical or high-priority functions.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors -as an outcome of personality, disposition and inherent life- was Nikki Haley. Dispatching Haley to the irrelevant United Nations was perfect. The bonus within the move was Mrs. Haley thinking it would improve her resume’.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors that was put into the wrong place, was Michael Flynn. Factually, Flynn was hiding his financial arrangements with Turkey as an unregistered lobbyist. The IC knew that vulnerability as they watched him throughout the campaign. When Trump won the election and then soon after announced Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, for the IC enemy that was awesome news. That’s how attack vectors are exploited, and Trump suffered the damage.
Attack Vectors should be the primary prism that determines placement. Attack vectors can also be mitigated and diffused with brutal honesty and sunlight upon secrets. The threat within attack vectors increases in direct proportion to the lies that hide them.
JD Vance with a solid Yale curriculum vitae, was a rabid Never Trumper, until something in his life timeline happened simultaneously to his financial benefactor billionaire Peter Theil becoming an FBI informant.
[Putting aside the Theil and Vance direct connection to Vivek Ramaswamy for a moment] Peter Theil becomes aligned with the FBI and suddenly the guy getting Theil’s money for politics, has nothing but praise for Donald Trump.
Trust your instincts.
Remember when I said the 2015 operation for Jeb Bush was going to involve a massive vote splitting operation, because the people organizing Jeb could only affirm about 20% of the base vote in the primary? Well?…
In 2016 I said they would need more than a dozen to pull off the Jeb operation; they brought 14. The republican nominee who won was the last man to enter, #15, the one they did not control. That is not accidental.
Remember back in 2019 when I said ballots were more important than votes and Trump needed to ditch Ronna McDaniel and hire Catherine Englebrecht as RNC chair with a major sense of urgency. Well?…
Remember when I said, “watch out” in 2022 because the same Sea Island network active in 2015 and 2020 was organizing a conservative voice influence operation for DeSantis in 2024, because I could see all the hallmarks of conservatives being conscripted and paid for participating (their attack vector of vulnerability), and people angrily said I was nuts. Well?…
I’m not looking at the current landscape, I’m out here with a well-worn machete looking at where we are heading. And I’m telling you those same systems, voices and financial networks have deployed that same financial conscription effort for JD Vance.
This is not conspiracy theory, it’s simply what a select group of ideological and compromised billionaires do in response to their own attack vectors and vulnerabilities. Robert and Rebekah Mercer did it with Ted Cruz and duped millions. The current attack vector assisting in the positioning of Vance, an attack vector previously exploited by the IC in their creation of the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, is the only guy in the Trump family that wears pink shirts.
Marco Rubio is easily one of the most compromised names on the “short list” with attack vectors going way back in his history including his compromise with the Kelly sisters around CENTCOM in Tampa, Florida. [LINK]
The same Lebanese based IC group who took out General Petraeus when he became a threat to them (Benghazi), and the same IC group who used the same zipper compromise against General John Allen [LINK] using the same network. Remember the ICs non-ISIS/ISIS campaign.
They have already compromised Rubio; it wasn’t hard.
Those background issues don’t even include Marco Rubio’s willful participation in the use of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) to attack the prior four years of the Trump administration through the use of the Trump-Russia nonsense.
Have you ever, even once, seen Vice Chairman Rubio cast even a side-eye of incredulity toward the malevolence of the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Of course you haven’t. He simply can’t do it; they own him.
Can a second President Trump term be successful with Rubio, Vance or Burgum? Of course it can; heck, we saw the success of Donald Trump even with Mike Pence constantly undermining him in the background.
Yes, the economy can thrive, global peace can return, the threat of a dollar-based central bank digital currency will diminish, domestic energy production and self-sufficiency will reemerge, and the lives and livelihoods of every American can improve in a second Trump term simply by the execution of pragmatic commonsense policy. That’s not what I am talking about.
If Trump picks a Rubio, Vance or Burgum type VP the Fourth Branch of Government simply goes into a period of static fermentation within the global swamp, simultaneously spewing toxic gas but not directly f**king with us. However, as soon as that 4-year term is over, they restart the process and the decade of the 30’s leaves us with less freedom, more restrictions and a bigger toxic system of Western government surveillance.
We need four years of furious sandblasting the bondo and paint from our Republic, before we can even begin to contemplate a restoration process in 2028, and that presidential nominee -the intermediate finisher- might not even be a person who is in politics right now. I trust President Trump to select that person based on the status of the restoration at the time that decision needs to be made.
What we need right now is a vice-presidential nominee who has the least amount of pre-existing or potential attack vectors that can be exploited by the IC.
The collective effort of the Western Intelligence apparatus over the next four-year Trump term, will be to keep the illusion of democracy in place, and stop people from seeing the cold, hard reality of the putrid rot beneath it.
We need a guiding hand, a faithful servant, who will calm the nerves of the American people, many of whom will see – perhaps for the first time, exactly how bad it has become. Because what we are going to witness in the next four-years is going to be very ugly.
As these malevolent entities are dragged into the sunlight and revealed, we also need a steadfast partner grounded in something far more valuable than popular prose or catch phrase linguistics.
While Trump is tearing it all apart, we need a guide, a partner, a steadfast centered voice that will help our Republic make shame great again.
.
Like I said, I hope this is all moot and the decision was made long ago.
Dr. Ben Carson does not come without attack vectors; however, to his credit he admits them. Heck, the IC previously used Dr Carson virtues against him, that’s why Ms. Cheney was guided to be his 2016 campaign manager. They want you to forget or not know that.
You see, what the IC does at its most evil level is to exploit virtue as a weapon. Love and trust are used against the target. Do you love your family, it’d be a shame if something happened to them. However, when you have faith, you understand that God also knows how evil works in this exploitation, that’s why He favored David.
My advice, trust your instincts.
Then pray.
Love to all.


I believe that the Office of the Vice President is the least significant assignment in the entire federal government.
Yes, see my comment at 2:13.
And yet the wrong VP can undermine the president and interfere with him at every turn. If you need proof of this, I give you Traitor Pence!
He or she becomes POTUS if something happens that Trump could not fulfill his duties. Hence, we got L.B. Johnson after Kennedy was assassinated as an example or we might be getting Kamala soon. Also, the VP is a tiebreaker in the Senate or if SCOTUS nominations are tied. The VP certifies the Electoral votes after an election (traitor Pence). Those are just examples.
I think the wrong VP can facilitate the removal of a President, witness LBJ and JFK.
But, the problem is that if Trump has another successful term, the VP will be the front runner to become the next President. Then we are right back here in the cesspit of corruption we are trying to dig ourselves out of.
Usually. Not this time.
Until the next four years are over, then it becomes a tremendous spring board.
It’s much easier to campaign for president with the backing of the White House.
That’s why you dont want the wrong person to have that power at that time.
Only because the VP allows it. Article I Section 3 of the US Constitution:
The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
The VP is the voice of the Executive Branch within the Legislative Branch. The Senate Majority and Minority Leader construct didn’t come about until the early 20th century. If Trump were have a VP that actually exercised Constitutional authority to preside over the Senate, there would be Uniparty splodey heads everywhere.
…until it is the most significant assignment.
And I pray fervently that we don’t come to that in the next four years.
Except when you have a VP that stabs you in the back like Pence!
Excellent advice and I will. . . a lot.
I think Dr. Carson is the best choice too.
Thank you for all you do, Sundance. I think you are more appreciated than you know.
Ditto to all.. and yes SD, please watch your back.
Best as in I can get to sleep faster by listening to BC? Sorry, he is an excellent man but not someone that can continue the America First MAGA movement. I know, there is no one like Trump but when the president and vice are together in public they need to function like a well oiled machine or seasoned comedy team that knows each other and can anticipate what the other will say, and respond back, keeping everyone’s attention.
None of the three above fit nor are they any insurance for Trump. I think we will be surprised with the pick. I want someone who stands up and spells it out. Two examples are Tom Homan and Mark Morgan, both law and order and border experts with management experience and adamant supporters of Trump, both non-politicians who are capable of being POTUS and strong supporters of his policies.
Don’t forget that many of you out there were advocating for RFK jr as VP . I’m not a person picker, rather I am looking for experience, capability, a style, or attitude, or gravitas, as they say.
Don’t know Homan and Morgan specifically, but the reasoning behind them is better than picking from a menu of “public names” just because they are on a menu of public names.
Anyone who has made themselves prominent enough to be known in the media is practically a disqualification itself. The Rubio’s, Vances, Gabbards, Borghums.
Carson is not a national leader. People just throw out his name with no reasoning behind it. I suspect its because he’s black and its their attempt to mimic Democrat identity politics they’ve been saturated in.
Hope the pick is someone I have never heard of but turns out is solid and principled. Its a big country, there is lots of talent that hasn’t felt the driving need to be acting out on camera for approval.

My strong belief is that JFK Jr. will be Trump’s VP. He is not dead and thousands of folks on TS know this. He has told us recently that he was & is Q – which was always an Open Source Military Intelligence Government backchannel to communicate critical information to the Civilian population. Because President Trump has been our CIC since he left the White House through Military Laws and Orders along with President Trump’s Executive Orders, and JFK Jr has been our VP all this time. The truth of this will very soon be revealed to the world.
While we’re at it, let’s resurrect all the Founding Fathers, too. They would be a GREAT addition to President Trump’s cabinet!
(eye roll)
I think it’s Mickey Mantle.
My money’s on Elvis.
“The Last Boy” the best Mantle book ever
Seriously?
It will be great to have Sessions back as AG.
It’s not thousands. It’s a small handful who actually believe this horse pucky.
You seriously need to wake up. Kennedy is a liberal democrat.
He’s efing DEAD!
Very very green.
Might want to check out some of PT comments not too long ago about RFK…might be on Social.
JFK Jr. died in a plane crash
An Arkancide plane crash, at that.
I thought that too, very early on. I think back then there was “potential”, but, if you listen to him carefully, he reverted to all of the Libtard 1% silver-spoon nonsense the Democratic Party is associated with. VP Nicole Shanahan ??? Was having an affair with Sergey Brin weeks before her first marriage, big donor to the Biden Campaign. RFK has great positions on vaccines, cleaning up the Deep State, etc …but is surrounded by so many Libtard kooks, he has lost touch with reality. IMHO
“Finalist include” but not limited?
That’s what I’m hoping for!
Ugh! Please, Lord, NO to all four!
This strengthens my resolve about PDJT’s ability to misdirect, strategically.
Notice he did not mention Dr. Carson. Interesting, indeed.
But after his interview today on Clay & Buck, it would seem peculiar to normies that not too long from now, Trump rejects all 4. I think the interview was meant by Trump to signal that it won’t be Ben.
I do not agree, and it cannot be Rubio, should not be Burgam, if his praise today of Scott signaled anything I am gagging, and I do not trust Vance because of a few things besides his previously didding VSGDJT.
Hope he’s just pulling peoples leg with this interview.
ugh.
That was my first
thought , Sunnydaze .
Just a Big *Teaser* 😊
Because UGH for Sure !
👀
My instinct tells me that loyalty is forged when one least expects.
Trump and Carson…………………short video
I could not agree with your analysis more.
Excerpt from the SeventhEye link in Sundance’s post:
“In line with Allies’ shared values and international obligations, the Centre will promote a norms-based, predictable and secure approach to cyberspace.”
….and the people running this plan are the ones who define what shared values means, and what norms-based thinking is.
People who think like this and then admit to thinking like this and putting it in writing should make our survival instincts kick into high gear!
Excerpt from the post:
Describing how they make use of: “…conservatives (who are) being conscripted and paid for participating (their attack vector of vulnerability)…”
The corollary of this is perhaps—if you are getting something free, that means you are the product….so the individual who ei doesn’t think or isn’t able to or who has little or no situational awareness is targeted from both directions.
“Keeping a low profile” may not be as effective a strategy as we thought it was (15-20 years ago)!
I like Ben Carson as a person, but the VP needs to me someone the IC fears more than PDJT.
Ideally someone with a personal axe to grind with them with experience on where their skeletons are, which are many and horrible. We don’t need boy scouts, we need fighters who understand just how depraved the IC is. They don’t need to have a near ‘perfect’ past either.
If the VP is just an IC plant I fear the PDJT won’t be around to finish his term let alone have a VP that will actual continue the deconstruction of IC handlers unconstitutional empire that ‘gave’ them their job by fooling PDJT.
I agree as well, but if this Presidency is successful, then the VP should sail into office as 48th, and THAT also has to be a major factor along with the life insurance.
Ben Carson is a fine and upstanding patriot; however I am not certain that even after four years serving under Trump he would even desire the Presidency much less garner enough support to win. He definitely will be a loyal foot soldier but I don’t see him lighting fires in anyone’s belly going forward after Trump.
Peter Navarro
I used to be a Ben Carson man, it he does nothing to the ticket except keep it safe. No forward momentum, just a sigh of relief then nothing.
I since turned to Tulsi. She blunts the abortion weaponization and is a fierce fighter, and like Trump has evolved in her politics. I like th idea of the two of them together – the combo would improve trump. I trust her, and believe every policy she used to be for will be weapjnized but that she would be able to handle it, maga would grow to love her. All upside. More Votes.
I don’t trust a Democrat and a Communist–and Tulsi is both–as far as I can kick them!
Reagan and Trump were both lifelong Democrats. Reagan was a union president …in Hollywood. Calling Gabbards a communist simply means you’ve not listened to a word she has said or written since ’20.
No, President Trump was NOT a lifelong democrat. Myth busted. Scribb has voting record back to early 1980’s. It is a proven-false Deep State spin. Even today people are genuinely surprised to see pic of DJT with President Reagan or hear about his New York Times full-page add espousing America First ideals back then.
Thinking she is a conservative patriot means you only listen to her scripted sound bites.
And WEF member
Both Reagan and Trump were Democrats before their awakening.
We know that she left the Democrat party, but how do you know she is a “communist”? Seriously, throwing out accusations doesn’t make it true. Tulsi has military experience and currently is an army reservist. She seems to have a rational and center of the road head on her shoulders. We could do worse.
Bigly……NO and NO again. I like her but not as a conservative President fighting to destroy the deep state. No no no.
NOOOOOOoooooo.
VP is needed to sway the election-JFK hated LBJ but needed Texas and the south. DJT needs VA.
The Dems would love to get Youngkin OUT of VA so they can get
a dem back in there. Like McAuliffe again.. so no Leave Youngkin
where he is…
Nope to Tulsi. Qatari owned psycho.
How do we get the busty women ads off of Sundance? They are everywhere and disgusting! Help!!
Install an ad blocker.
Use Brave and crank the settings tight
I’ve always done that and never knew such ads were on the site. Probably should relax my settings or switch browsers.
Michael Flynn Jr
@realmflynnJR
Hey @realDonaldTrump
I’d recommend holding on the announcement of VP for as long as possible.
The legacy mockingbird fake news media is so far up @JoeBiden
ass about his dementia and other cognitive issues, it ain’t worth you changing the news cycle anytime soon.
Second you announce, it’s going to flip over to you.
Control the narrative PRESIDENT TRUMP!
https://x.com/realmflynnJR/status/1811489034243571764
Carson as VP. Great, but what are the pivotal duties of VP other than break Senate ties? Is there a dept spot where Carson could be more useful in swamp clearing? As long as Trump keeps a more questionable VP in the closet where they belong?
“but what are the pivotal duties of VP other than break Senate ties?“
Kidding, right?
As we know, the Democrats with the assist/guidance of the IC play the long game. (Consider that Marilyn Monroe was groomed to be a JFK lure back in the mid -50’s as Joe Kennedy was predicted to want the presidency for JFK.)
Thus, is it perhaps the case that the ex-wife of Gavin Newsom — a probable Presidential candidate for 2024 and then 2028 — is in a sense DJT Jr’s handler/influencer? NeverTrumper Vance, really?? Foam Boy, really????! Burgum, Really???
Also, if “something should happen to DJT” were he to be allowed to win, we’d have in effect a McCain as president and in 2028 a choice not unlike BHO/McCain and BHO/Romney, with Newsom as the possible Dem candidate.
Note that on “Rush’s program” today, DJT never mentioned Carson I don’t believe. I’m afraid that was a tell…that he’s been talked out of Carson or led to believe his polls would be better with one of the other three. Fake polls, of course. Because without effery in play, outside the big blue cities, DJT would win in a landslide I think we know. Surely, DJT knows that.
President Trump would serve his campaign well by selecting a Governor as his running mate. So I’m encouraged with the discussion about Gov. Burgum. Perhaps hoping against hope I’d like to see Gov. Nikki Haley on the top of President Trump’s VP short list. She brings even more to the ticket, not just on issues but on unifying the Republican Party. One can only hope. It’s discouraging to hear rumors she is persona non grata at next week’s convention. As to the others on President Trump’s shortlist, Senators and Congressmen make bad presidential and vice presidential candidates. They are not in charge of anything nor responsible or accountable. They are one face, one vote in a crowd of elected officials on Capitol Hill. Best for them to go back home and run for Governor or run a large corporation, successfully, if they presidential ambitions.
If you think Nikki is a good choice, then you haven’t done your homework on her. Go to the top of this page and search for articles that Sundance has written about Tricky Nikki!
Shudder! Not just NO, but HELL NO to Nimrata!
Sorry, but Nikki Haley is the worst possible choice he could ever make in a thousand years. Luckily, she has already been excommunicated.
Anybody who was running against President Trump for 2024 is a BIG FAT NO.
“Unifying the Republican Party” …. Uh, this is a hostile takeover, son. The “Unifying the Republican Party” fail-on-purpose schtick is what brought us to this moment.
Nikki Haley= Mike Pence in a dress.
Haley?
HELL NO.
No traitors, no Neocons, and no Hillary wannabes.
Haley is Hindu Hillary.
I’m from South Carolina.
Nikki is a backstabbing warmongering b*&#h.
There are very few people on the planet, that would be worse for VP than Scott.
I would put odds on Burgham because he was a successful businessman pre-governor and I think Trump appreciates his critical thinking. The left will try to paint him as wanting nationwide abortion bans but he just has to say that what he did was best for ND and not the nation as a whole.
And, if any of you have noticed, Burgham resembles George Washington on Mount Rushmore. Weird huh?
No, on your Nikki nonsense.
Karl Rove just endorsed Burgham. Over at GP there is an article. Hell No!

@JackPosobiec
SCOOP: One of Doug Burgum’s top advisers, Rob Lockwood, is a former editor at the anti-Trump Drudge Report. Lockwood is still very close to the virulently anti-Trump Matt Drudge and is using the Drudge website to run a smear campaign against other VP contenders
https://x.com/JackPosobiec/status/1811501940871954716
Jack Posobiec pushed JD Vance as VP on two different shows. He also suggested that Vivek be appointed Senator in Vance’s place.
OMG ! No wonder we’re in serious trouble. Even CTH readers are promoting people like Nikki, Tusli, RFK jr. Stunning.
I hadn’t seen the member name prior so figured it was a drive-by. I expect there will be a lot of those down the pike until November.
Oh, while we are at it, let’s toss in golfer Lindsey Graham. 🥱
After nuzzling up to The Reverend Mormon Dr. Mitt Romney, and stabbing Trump in the back publicly with comments like “we should have never followed him”, I say stay home and enjoy it from the comfy chair. Yes, it would be great to have a unified party and perhaps we alienate some of her primary voters which is not good; however, keeping our enemies at a distance is more important.
She wasn’t invited to the RNC. That kinda tells you where she sits in the VP race. It won’t be her.
My vote is Dr Ben Carson
Just a short rant. There is no IC. There are only people within the IC.
Just as the people within the State Department had to be forced to give up their quill pens, rotary dial phones, their Underwood Number 5’s, and then their Selectrics, along with their obsolete (if ever accurate in the first place) worldviews and methods of pursuit of international relationships, as they were forced to use more modern technology and approaches, so the people within the IC must be forced to come into the middle of the 21st Century.
Globalist Fascism is dead. Oh, the body twitches with some remnant neurological spasms, but it’s dead. It can’t be revived. We just haven’t held the funeral yet.
The people in the State Department who toiled endlessly compiling grievance lists to “get the parties to the table to discuss” were sidestepped as the Trump team compiled and communicated lists of commonalities to be pursued which resulted in the Abraham Accords (you’ve got new empty hotels and resorts; Israel has people with money and an airline ready to fly them in. I think I see a deal here). The people in the State Department can come into the modern era, or be left behind.
So too with the people in the IC. They can fill buildings with people poring over digital recordings and data, and use J Edgar’s ghost to compile blackmail dirt on EVERYONE , and thereby join the people from the State Department in the junk yard of 20th Century ideas and methods, OR they can get with the MAGA program, re-populate those sections skilled at obtaining human intel, and, perhaps most importantly, remember for whom (the American people, duh!) they labor in the first place. Get on the Trump train.
Trump 2024
The thing about RFK Jr is: Will he stop short of being a spoiler at the 11th hour or not? In other words, will he stick it out (to our detriment) like Nader (and John Anderson) did, or will he do the right thing and tell his supporters to do the pragmatic thing? Time will tell of course.
Why I like Tulsi Gabbard for Trump’s VP and the future of the America First MAGA Patriot Party:
https://slingshot.news/will-trump-choose-tulsi-gabbard-as-his-vice-president/
No.
Reading the comments here it’s obvious we’ve acquired either a lot of new readers or a lot of trolls. What’s with the RFK, Jr. Nicki Haley and Tulsi Gabbard pushing?????
Someone likes the IC/globalists. Do you wear khakis?
Yup. The choice for VP is of keen interest to those intent on poisoning the well.
Controlling POTUS 101…
If the President isn’t already bought…
It is imperative the Vice President BE!
Yeaappp!👍👆🏼🤡 they are heavy enough around here to almost break a branch. Good thing we prune often and saturate with “no pretending”. 🙏🏽👏
You’ll like note that a lot of what I term drive-bys are by unfamiliar posters who predominantly use what appear to be real-type names.
That’s how freedom goes.
I sometimes get grief for quoting Communist mouthpieces too. I figure most Treepers follow conservative news so I follow what my enemies are up to since my war is/will be with them, not conservatives.
If the opposition hasn’t got a few paid influencers in the The Last Refuge, I would be surprised. What these people don’t realize is they are so far out on the limbs they have no idea how strong the base support structure is because they don’t read, search back, and understand what supports the Treehouse.
“The VP will be announced days before the convention itself”
I thought it was going to be announced at the convention?
For it to be days (plural) before the convention, which starts (Monday?), it would have to be no later than tomorrow (Saturday).
What did I miss?
In 2016, Pence was announced the Friday before the Convention, which is today. It could be any day now that Trump announces.
I think perhaps burgum wants to make money for himself and his investor friends by advancing federal approvals for his proposed pipeline deal.
The pipeline apparently faces resistance from both left and right. I am reading that Dems don’t want it because exploitation of buried co2 transported by pipeline from five states to North Dakota could facilitate big oil industry bonanza in North Dakota . Apparently Conservative landowners don’t want it because they oppose taking of their land by eminent domain.
I think If burgum gets in trump admin he might hope to get the federal approval of permits he wants for his pipeline
It appears Burgum may be trying to seduce trump with talk of potential $billion campaign contributions from oil industry to get the pipeline deal done
The Big Unkown is did Trump learn from his significant mistakes by those he freely chose to surround himself with in 2020/2021. Or, will he prove to still be in denial about those choices. His first significant choice in VP will tell us if he’s done so.
I remember attending a candidate rally in South Carolina while traveling in January of 2015 and listening and meeting Cruz and Carson. It was obvious to me Dr. Carson could be the George Washington of our times that could restore the U.S. to what it should be while at the same time cause a political realignment from Black Americans and the so-called Independents.
I was listening to Clay and Buck earlier today (I know, don’t judge. I was out weeding my vegetable garden when they came on my little radio.) They had Trump on for an interview and when they asked him about how he will make his VP choice Trump said that he will “follow his instincts”. Then I read Sundance’s line “trust your instincts.” 😉 There are no coincidences??
Is it possible Dr Carson does not want it? What then?
“In one capacity or another I will continue to work very hard to save our country“
I pray that President Trump sees this exemplary article of facts and TRUTHS!
“the global IC power structure launched a proactive Seventh Eye {SEE HERE} for the purpose of attacking the risk Trump represents and defending themselves.”
This is just more proof that what Sundance says about “walling the West in”. Those sanctions against Russia weren’t really meant to hurt Russia but to destroy the West with their Globalist Bullsh*t Agenda!

In theory, after next week when President Trump becomes the official nominee of the Republican Party, he will be entitled to intelligence briefings. After their admissions that they kept information from President Trump while he was in office, who could believe anything they say? Would you believe a Comey?!!!

Mind you who is on the November VP spot doesn’t have to be who takes office in January. A simple majority of Congress can approve a replacement. Along with several other things.
Pentagon, that’s an easy one. You first ask (politely and then not so nicely if required) all 3 and 4 star flag officers to submit their resignations. Reason? Simply that the president has lost trust and confidence in their ability to lead. Boom, they are gone. The one and two-stars? Put them on notice that they are now on probation as they now step-up as “actings” for all the 3 and 4-stars that are gone. Everyone below just moves up–not promoted–just moves up to the position. The military that I knew had a deep bench of folks ready to do the job. Not so sure about today’s military. Regardless, retired folks can always be brought back on active duty and work to get things right again.
Sundance, thank you! Once again you strike right at the chord that needs to be heard! Thank you!
I am still holding our hope for Sarah Huckaby Sanders
No.
7th? Mosad? The Zionists? Global Oligarchs and Bankers? They’re the same, huh?
Ben Carson is indeed a good man. Perhaps you are right, we need a good man in there. Carson is a smart guy.
When you apply for a government clearance they want to know everything about you. The point being that you can not be compromised when you don’t have skeletons in the closet.
Carson seems to hold no secrets of political consequence.
The fact that his is black -which to me holds no significance- is an ace directed at the racist Democrats. A true example of what MLK wanted.
Yeah, good choice.
We’ll see.
Excellent. I fully agree. Some say BC is to soft spoken. I say that’s what we need to compliment Trump. I hope we’re right. I’m a little nervous.
IMO BC is humble not soft.
I remember when Ben Carson was first made part of President Trump’s cabinet and the media had a field day telling stories of horror because Dr. Carson’s wife had order some very expensive table, can’t remember if it was a conference or dining room table, and the press was doing all it could to create the aura of shame, thinking Dr. Carson would resign.
That he didn’t resign but did take responsibility for the situation was the first time I really noticed this man knows how to fight.
If memory serves me correctly, Carson’s wife had nothing to do with this. The conference table was ordered for Carson’s office at HUD and it costs $30,000.00.
Sundance thank you for your explanations. You have open our eyes here at the conservative treehouse and I appreciate all you do for America and the freedom movement.
God Bless you , Sir.
Found in the bin… 🙁
I still think President Trump should pick DEVIN NUNES as his Vice-President!
Welcome to the outlier club. 👍
My business serviced farm customers in his district and I grew to know the Portuguese farming community pretty well. PDJT trusted him enough to get him the CEO job at Truth. He knows the intelligence game since he was in the middle of it when a Congressman. He’s young enough and has a stable non-dramatic family. The merger likely eases any prior cash issues he may have faced. He has Ef U money now. Usually that enables people to be who they really are.
I’m glad he supports the Treehouse since I doubt that long-running ad at the bottom of every page is free. OK, pitch over 🙂
Sundance, in the several years following your opinions and visions of future roadmaps, I’ve been convinced to give you considerable sway.
I think Dr. Carson would be a great VP choice in light of the IC attack vectors. As a other poster stated Dr Carson will be 73yo and I’m not sure Dr Carson can be the needed sandblaster in 4 years. Is the Dr capable of protecting PDJT’s 180, most definitely. His intellect would cast the Dr more as a car detailer than a sandblaster.
Please consider n expound on the attack vectors of Hawaii’s Tulsi G. For full disclosure, I thought and stated PDJT should have replaced Pence w Tulsi for his 2nd term run. She has the youth,vigor and fire to be the sandblaster in 4 years as well as protect the 180.
.
You want the liberal Ms. Army Reserve COL inexplicably in psyops at Ft. Bragg?
.
What better person than someone versed in Psyops.
We are all the sum of our life’s experiences, she was raised by conservative parents, even in Hawaii.
What attack vectors would the IC community have on her? She’s a female Vinnie w a take no prisoner debate style.
I agree PDJT has given much thought over time, to the momentus choice of his VP, and his recent 2 minute riff on how “probably the smartest thing Joe ever did, was picking Karmella as his VP, because she is an INSURANCE POLICY against removal from office” reassures me that this specific quality HAS been a major factor in his thinking and choice.
With the right choice, in one swell foop, he takes Impeachment, 25th A, and even Executive action OFF the list of options available to his enemies.
He would be foolish, perhaps suicidally foolish, NOT to have made this quality a requirement of any pick.
Inextricably tied to this “Insurance policy quality” of being SO unattractive to his enemies as POTUS that they would be dissuaded from any path of removing PDJT, is being armored against being compromised, obviously.In other words, virtually NO “attack vectors” no compromising info they can use to compel a roll over.
And, of coarse that means PDJT, KNOWING as he makes his choice, that this person can pass this test.
If you listen closely, if you are a VSG, your enemy can tell you much; by projection they can reveal their intentions, and by their actions to shore up certain areas, they can reveal their weaknesses.
Far more than any other individual, Mitch McConnell has been DJT’s arch nemesis, from day one.
It is HE who dictated PDJT’s nominees, by simply refusing to support those PDJT wanted, alleging “they can’t get confirmed”.
In previous long posts, I have layed out my arguments supporting the notion that without Mitch greenlighting it in early 2015, there would have been no “Insurance Policy” Russia Russia coup attempt.
Mitch sent word, thru the Az. GOP Chair, that Kari Lake could ‘name her price’ if only she would not run FOR ANY OFFICE in 2024.
And this offer was conveyed after her election was stolen, and before she announced her Senate run.
WHY would Mitch make such an offer, if he had found any “attack vectors” he could employ to persuade her not to run?
So, she has been thoroughly vetted, her, her family etc. and shown herself to be inured to bribery or blackmail.
The same people that mis-counted the votes in Maracopa County in 2020 and 2022, will be mis-counting them in 2024, so Mitch needn’t have bothered making such an offer, if his concern was keeping Kari out of the Senate.
I believe Mitch, just like PDJT, planning ahead and appreciating the need for PDJT to have an Insurance policy VP, was attempting to forestall such a move on PDJT’s part, by taking KL off the board, BECAUSE Mitch appreciated that she, uniquely has this “Insurance Policy” quality.
We will see shortly, whether I am wrong (wouldn’t be first time, lol).
I agree with you that Ms lake is great but I don’t understand insurance policy argument. Because dems hated pence for his ultra conservative views (with exception of Jan 6 when they were so pleased that pence helped them) —— even tho dems hated pence , pence did not prove to be an insurance policy against trump impeachments
If Kari Lake becomes a Senator, Trump will be allowed recess appointments
.
Wouldn’t it be extremely irresponsible to pick a VP who couldn’t do the job as prez? Obviously puppet do nothing Biden didn’t care. But Trump?
Carson turned down being Secretary of Health and Human Services for the reason that he was not qualified, then had to be coddled into accepting Department of Housing and Urban Development.
I’m not sure how/why he ran for President in the first place, having no background whatsoever in management, politics, economics, finance, law, military, or world affairs. (Splitter strategy person?)
At least another complete neophyte with no apparent transportable credentials or experience for the job, who lots of folks seem to like, Kari Lake, is a great talker, which Carson also is not. He would be a placeholder, and not able to take over as President. If something happened to 78-year-old Trump, we would be screwed.
.
Carson has been my choice from the get-go. Responsible. Smart. Calming influence. AA to further bleed the Dems. The last point is critical. The bleeding process has turned from a leak to a noticeably steady stream. Open up the gates some more.
It’s mind boggling to me how many people on TS believe it will be JFK Jr. I’ve been blocked by multiple anons over arguments like this one. I don’t care. I am perfectly willing to call out the BS on both sides.
The 12th Amendment prohibits a President and a Vice President from being from the same state. Trump and Rubio are both from Florida.
Why does anyone think that Marco Rubio could be Vice President?
JD Vance wasn’t just moderately opposed to Trump a time ago, the things that he said were down right hateful. And then he, like a typical pol, saw the tide turning and started to work the room and say the things everyone wanted to hear and all of a sudden he’s in the veepstakes.
Anyone find it strange that the 3 man VP shortlist is made up of people who have been against Trump and MAGA since 2016?
Trump has said recently on a radio interview with Fox that HE wants to reveal the pick at the convention. It almost sounded like that HE wants that because it would be exciting but someone or group of people are not allowing him to do that.
If you want to do it like the “old days” as he has said and have it really exciting, are you going to choose someone out of 3 people who everyone pretty knows, as they’re being told or fed, that one of those 3 will be the one? Does that sound exciting to you?
It doesn’t to me and it makes no sense. I’m thinking it is someone else. Has to be. If Trump wants “excitement” he’s not going to getting by picking someone out of the 3, one of whom was just endorsed by the Turd Blossom aka kiss of death, who the people are expecting.
Neither of Rubio’s parents was a U.S. citizen at the time of Rubio’s birth…..not a natural born citizen………………
It is 3:15 PM EST.
There seems to be a huge attempt ongoing to hijack and undermine the substance to the original post.
A bunch of chirping and chattering responses looking to distract (not specific to my posts, just in general).
I don’t need to be (nor do I want to be) in 100% agreement all the time at the CTH, however; after reading here for many years, I get that feeling of subtle subterfuge when it is afoot.
My uneducated opinion is that he was chosen a long time ago, and has been silent during the campaign. The greatest likelihood I see is Devin Nunes.
Zeldin or Nunes are logical choices. If it’s Zeldin, Kathy Hochel will wet her pants
Any thoughts on Zeldin?
Carson would be awesome. Just wondered about Zeldin. I think Trump will try to win NYS, Zeldin would help, I think.
as an outcome of personality, disposition and inherent life

where do Mike Pence slot in this space? also Jeff Sessions?
Great insight. Thank you, Sundance. Again.
in Chinese very useful expression >> “using a borrowed knife” = to attack by concealing the real attacker
That pic is scary, three losers

The Heritage Institute’s plan to strengthen the IC and global conflicts.
According to the betting markets, it’s about a combined 85% chance that it will be either Burgum, Vance or Rubio.
I’ll take that bet. None of those will be.
