According to the Trump campaign, there will now be a special guest attending the Glendale, Arizona MAGA rally tomorrow (7:00pm ET).  A lot of speculation has centered around Robert F Kennedy Jr, likely endorsing President Trump.

Many people within the MAGA community, mostly those associated with the financial benefits of the movement, have been advocating for RFK Jr to be placed in a prominent Trump administration position.

I am taking a wait-and-see approach; however, I do not see any benefit from any RFK endorsement.   The same Republicans who voted for Evan McMullin, are the same Republicans currently supporting RFK Jr.  That group will not change their anti-Trump position with an RFK Jr endorsement.

.

There are many vested interests deep inside the Trump campaign who support RFK Jr with great enthusiasm.

Earlier today, President Trump discussed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in Cochise County, Arizona. President Trump was asked if RFK Jr was going to endorse him, and how he would feel about it.  President Trump was also asked if he and RFK Jr were coordinating their appearance in Las Vegas. [VIDEO HERE]

Additionally, President Donald Trump told NewsNation’s Ali Bradley “we’re in danger” before being rushed away by Secret Service during an interview in Cochise County, Arizona. Right now, authorities in that county are searching for a man who allegedly threatened to kill the former president. Bradley reports daily from the southern border, where Trump held a news conference earlier Thursday. She spoke with Trump one-on-one about what he thinks of a possible RFK Jr. endorsement.

President Trump told the Daily Mail during an interview that he now declines intelligence briefings by the U.S Intelligence Community.  This is the most exceptional news in a long time.  WATCH:

I have researched the Intelligence Community, aka Deep State apparatus for many years.  What President Trump outlines in that response is extremely accurate.  The evidence for the corrupt and false presentations from the aggregate IC can be found in the example of 51 intel officials saying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.  They did not misspeak, they lied.

Beyond the reasoning expressed by President Trump about “leaks”, the best part of his remarks pertains to his brutally honest acceptance that the Intelligence Community is corrupt overall.  Yes, yes, it is.  It is refreshing to hear someone say it openly, publicly and with no hesitation about the reality of it.

Imagine a world where the Intelligence Community controls the outcomes of politics.  A world where the sitting president of the United States has a national intelligence apparatus giving him advice that his political opponent, and those who support that opponent, should be considered “domestic terrorists.”   Then accept that we don’t have to imagine it, because this is the reality of the current situation.

Maybe, just maybe, political reality is starting to permeate Chris Cuomo. Or it could be that Chris Cuomo is attempting to shape-shift by dropping pretenses. Whatever it is, this encapsulated segment by the former CNN host is a little surprising insofar as it is generally accurate.

According to those who know him best, Cuomo is not a very bright fellow. However, on the issue of money in politics as outlined in this segment, Cuomo is essentially dropping truth bombs. WATCH:

Dang… the left lost Cuomo 🤣😂😂

A good example of Big Money shaping political outcomes was discussed yesterday in the story about RFK Jr.

There’s a billionaire named Timothy Mellon who has essentially been funding RFK Jr to the tune of $25 million, while simultaneously funding the Make America Great Again SuperPAC to the tune of over $115 million.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

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

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

President Donald Trump has a sit-down conversation with Theo Von at Trump’s country club in Bedminster, New Jersey to discuss reforming healthcare, border security, his friendship with Dana White and why he refrains from drinking and smoking.

Theo Von is a likeable young man who has casual conversations and a large podcast audience. The conversation with President Trump about addiction and the challenges around drugs and alcohol is very interesting and insightful. WATCH:

Earlier today the Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) revised the annual jobs report to remove 818,000 previously recorded jobs.

[…] “The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total tally of jobs created in the year through March by 818,000 as part of its preliminary annual benchmark review of payroll data. That suggests the economy added an average of 174,000 jobs per month during that time period — below the previous 242,000 estimate. On a monthly basis, that amounts to about 68,000 fewer jobs.  It marks the largest downward revision since 2009.” (read more)

When asked about the troubling indicator of this revision, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo had no idea the BLS had made this announcement. WATCH: 

Reporter: Nearly a million jobs “created” since Kamala took office do not exist.

Raimondo: “I don’t believe it because I’ve never heard Trump say anything truthful.”

Reporter: “It is from the Bureau of Labor.”

Raimondo: “I’m not familiar with that.”pic.twitter.com/UFKJiwWuPZ

It appears that all the rumors of this Friday for RFK Jr to make an announcement are accurate.  The campaign sends the following information:

Kennedy24 – “Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will address the nation live on Friday about the present historical moment and his path forward in a livestreamed press conference. (link)

It started with Senator Lindsey Graham previously saying that perhaps electronic encryption programs needed a legislative ban as an outcome of the Trump assassination attempt.

The “never let a crisis go to waste” narrative continues advancing today with Congressman Mike Waltz.

CHICAGO — Trump rally gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks used encrypted messaging accounts on various platforms located in Belgium, New Zealand and Germany, according to a member of a congressional task force investigating his assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), one of 13 lawmakers tapped to serve on the House bipartisan task force, told reporters at a Wednesday press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago that the “overseas accounts” piqued his suspicion immediately regarding the shooter’s motives.”

“Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but based abroad – where most terrorist organizations know it is harder for our law enforcement to get into?” asked Waltz. (read more)

If you do not choose to give up some private communication tools in order to make the USA a safer place, then you don’t care about the security of President Trump or something.   That’s the rapidly approaching talking point from the professionally republican.

The Deep State loves unilateral transparency where We The People are transparent, and they remain opaque.  Sorry, but look where we are now.  We never should have agreed to start taking off our shoes at the airport.
