BUMPED: I see the efforts to divide the MAGA base continue. I remind everyone to be prudent in your discernment of who is antagonizing, what topics and processes they are using, and ultimately who benefits from it. Remember, “there are trillions at stake!” This nonsense battle of “influencers” and “podcasters” is, well, just gross.
On March 3rd through March 6th, 2016, the Republican presidential primary was at the precipice of a key inflection point (Super Tuesday) when a large group of political leadership, tech titans, bankers and political influence agents assembled at the AEI summit in Sea Island, Georgia.
Citation Here – Citation Here and Citation HERE (w/itinerary details)
In the decade that passed, you have seen me reference this Sea Island group frequently, because the origin of where we are today can only be understood if you followed the outcome of that 2016 Sea Island meeting and the decade of activity therein.
In 2016 the agenda of the group, though they gently denied it at the time, was to figure out a way to remove the disruption Donald Trump represented from the business model of DC politics. The Sea Island confab discussed how to stop him, or at the very least manage the potential damage he could deliver to the system – specifically, to the Republican wing of the UniParty apparatus.
Here in 2025, we are currently witnessing an outcome of activity from essentially the same group. For this phase, the intention is to fracture the baseline of support that underpins President Trump’s movement; what is reasonably called MAGA and the America-First movement.
What follows below is a review that might help people understand what exactly is behind the various pressure narratives we see being introduced into this narrative operation. The remarks toward Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, various iterations of Qatar vs Israel as espoused by voices like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, the claims of antisemitism shouted against any voice that doesn’t put the interests of the current Israeli administration at the forefront, and the various alignments therein.
In the biggest picture, this is not a battle against individual voices, but rather the positioning of interests to maintain the same objective that was discussed in the aforementioned Sea Island confab.
A few points are needed for context as this discussion enlarges. First, I am only 80% finished with the year-long tracking of the participants; however, due to multiple requests this is one of the few times I will outline something that is not yet fully developed. I have written about this activity before {SEE HERE} in 2023.
Second, this is not the first rodeo for this activity. After the Tea Party rose in 2010, we saw this same institutional response from almost identical participants to control the threat of a leaderless organic grassroots movement. President Obama, the DNC/RNC and the Republican power apparatus all opposed the Tea Party, as they do MAGA for exactly the same reason.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
You might remember supporters of the various patriot or Tea Party grassroots organizations being targeted by the Obama DOJ and IRS. Simultaneously John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell labeled Tea Party supporters as political jihadists, extremists and hobbits. The targeting operations to isolate, ridicule and marginalize the movement was both a DNC and an RNC operation.
Republicans and Democrats worked together to eliminate the Tea Party, and Republicans were more than willing to lose elections to stop Tea Party supported candidates from winning. This is important to remember, because that type of activity both evidences the UniParty apparatus and the opposition to the modern iteration of the Tea Party in the larger MAGA voting base. In short, the DC professional political apparatus hates all versions of the same uncontrollable electorate regardless of label.
When they departed Sea Island, eventually the professional Republicans (GOPe) ended up settling on supporting Hillary Clinton, because Donald Trump could not be defeated within the confines of the party apparatus and became the presumptive nominee. The tech group from Sea Island was already part of the Hillary Clinton alignment, and the “political influence agents” also saw Hillary as the comfortable, predictable and non-disruptive candidate. The key underpinning all of them was “anyone but Trump.”
Hillary then walked toward November with party Democrats, party Republicans, tech, Silicon Valley and the never-Trump conservatives. However, Hillary encountered a major minus in the electorate when the Bernie Sanders group discovered the origin of the DNC control operation. Hillary Clinton gained the party Republicans, but Hillary Clinton lost a lot of Bernie voters; many of them went to Trump.
[NOTE: It’s a little funny, but the five-year-long RNC -vs- TP/MAGA fight is essentially what we are now watching within the other wing of the UniParty, the DNC wing. The grassroots left against the DNC professionals. The “progressives” or “socialist democrats” are taking Democrat scalps the same way the grassroots right took down Republicans. The old guard Democrats are quitting.]
All of this is said to frame the context for 2025, and the objectives of the political influence agents to break up the MAGA movement into smaller digestible pieces. The wedge issue is not accidentally Israel.
Israel has been selected as a wedge issue to divide MAGA, because Israel-First influencers viewed themselves in a vulnerable position. This too needs context.
♦ QATAR. All year long I have been watching the Qatar vs Israel battle surface on social media. At first it was a very odd dynamic to watch, because it did not make sense. Then a few things became more visible that made it evident why the U.S-Israel groups were concerned.
In the decade that preceded 2025, you cannot find too many examples of Qatar ever having a positive headline outside the praise from Barack Obama and Joe Biden. While Obama had always embraced Qatar (ex. bank for the Muslim Brotherhood), it was Joe Biden who labeled Qatar a major non-NATO ally. The Obama/Biden administration liked Qatar, the first Trump administration not so much.
Prior to 2025, Qatar had a history of bad influence operations, where “bad” is defined as them doing really bad things; like funding radical Islamic extremists (creating the Arab Spring), giving safe haven to the exiled Islamist Egyptian leadership, financing Al-Jazeera, shipping covert CIA/State Dept weapons to the al-Qaeda operatives in Libya and Syria, being the bankers for Iranian money, supporting Hamas leadership, etc.
In the first Trump term, President Trump confronted Qatar and told the Gulf Cooperation Council (Egypt, Bahrain, UAE and Saudi Arabia) to maintain pressure on Qatar. So, it was quite a reversal to see the second Trump term reverse course entirely and begin praising Qatar. However, if you think about the issue of the Israeli war in Gaza, and how that changed the landscape, things begin to take on a new context.
This new 2025 positive-Qatar vibe created anxiety for the pro-Israel elements inside the USA. It wasn’t a matter of direct policy that seemed to unnerve them, but rather a change in influence priority. Influence is a tenuous game of position.
In early 2025, Israel-first voices started to seem visibly worried their White House influence operation may be diminished by a positive Trump message toward Qatar. In my opinion, that influence fear was actually substantive, and yet part of an intentional Trump foreign policy agenda; akin to a soft brushback pitch against the U.S-Israel influence shop who had become very comfortable taking their Trump influence for granted.
Friendly messaging toward Qatar’s influence shop was viewed by U.S-Israeli voices as a betrayal. However, given the nature of the Trump transition team having former lobbyists for Qatar, the friendly messaging was understandable; however, x2, that set of facts didn’t make it palatable for the Israeli coalition. Ergo, an influence battle began very early in the Trump administration, and the internecine Qatar vs Israel issue was visible to those of us who watch things closely.
Keep in mind, historically within the GOPe apparatus, this was a lucrative financial tug-of-influence game. The neocon/intelligence wing (Bolton/McCain) had one foot in pro-Qatar and one foot in pro-Israel, with ¹both sides funding for influence and delivering affluence. So much so that their interests from a USA viewpoint were virtually indistinguishable, see Libya. Additionally, behind this financial set of motives, this confab of influence beneficiaries was/is the core of that Sea Island meeting.
[¹President Obama played this dynamic brilliantly to the benefit of his Muslim Brotherhood allies.]
♦ THE RACE – At this point in the analysis, it is worthwhile dropping the traditional viewpoint of U.S. politicians as “candidates” and start thinking about them in the more accurate term as “horses.” The horses race in the Kentucky Derby, but it is the owners who win the prize money.
When you view U.S. politicians as horses in the various races, we start to think more clearly about who their owners are. This is the key to understanding U.S political candidates.
You might be able to remember the name of the horse who won the Triple Crown, you might even remember the jockey who rode the horse, but less likely you remember who owned it. In U.S. politics, it’s the owners within the political races who control the horses not the horses who control the owners.
Donald J. Trump represented a serious threat to this dynamic. Trump is a horse who is also his owner; this is a major disruption in political sport.
The owners assembled in Sea Island, March 2016, to discuss this disruption.
By the time we get to 2020, the ‘anyone but Trump’ theme was clearly at play. The Intelligence Community assisted, Big Tech assisted, corporate media assisted, our ever-predictable Republicans were once again purposefully and willfully blind, and with mail-in ballots all the rage, Trump was all alone against the entire apparatus with only voters trying to offset the American political control operation. In the aftermath of the ridiculous outcome, all of the participants circled the wagons, and Nancy Pelosi provided the literal fence.
In 2021, the Big Tech sub-segment of the Sea Island confab then went full combat against MAGA elements, banning, deplatforming, demonetizing and removing any countervailing voices. Meanwhile, anyone associated with Trump was targeted by the collaborating government mechanisms, DOJ/FBI and the media once again ran cover.
In the 2023 version of ‘anyone but Trump,’ 43 billionaires together with an assist from Sea Island attendee, Elon Musk, tried to launch Ron DeSantis as a MAGA alternative. However, the Tea Party-hardened MAGA voters looked at their scars, and when they saw the $100 bill on a fishing line being dragged through the MAGA community, they refused to chase it.
By then, the 2016 Cruz Crew had switched to 2024 Alligator emojis, but even the “Evangelicals” with unlimited funding couldn’t fuel the DeSantis starship.
The Ron launch was as wobbly as DeSantis’ head during speaking engagements; and Casey wearing Melania’s heels, Duck Dynasty skinny pants and Sarah Palin’s ‘Grizzly Mama’ T-shirt couldn’t compensate.
What a hot mess.
The MAGA alternative was as structurally inauthentic as Ron’s boots, even with the lifts.
Hey, be thankful. No one has ever accused the Republican consultant class of accurately assessing the political landscape around them.
Their inauthenticity is what helps us to know who they are. It’s a net positive.
I would make the argument that if Ron’s owners had somehow pulled it off, Biden would have been yanked fast and replaced with Newsom, and we’d be looking at the “future in hindsight” right now.
♦ 2025 – That Sea Island crew doesn’t quit. The “anyone but Trump” operation is back in full swing despite the 2024 victory message.
Step #1 in the control process is to lose the 2026 election and put the Republican wing of the uniparty bird back into the minority. Again, this isolates our people’s president.
However, they can’t just lose 2026 and call it a day. They still need to manage the problem that President Trump represents for another three years. There are Trump policies to undermine, Trump executive orders to let sit non-legislatively supported, and all of this inaction must take place while Trump supporters are distracted with maximum shiny things.
This is where the “political influencers” come into play as mercenaries and advanced operative messengers for a very useful dynamic to emphasize – the operation that began as Qatar vs Israel.
Tucker Carlson representing the face of JD Vance’s support network becomes a target for Mark Levin et al. Candace Owens is labeled as the female face of Nick Fuentes, who, for some odd reason, is being algorithmically boosted by the same tech platforms that banned his account as an identified racist, extremist and antisemitic content producer.
This Fuentes boosting, again not coincidentally by the same elements who attended that 2016 Sea Island confab including Google, began in July 2025, about a month prior to TPUSA head Charlie Kirk telling his pro-Israel friends (billionaire Bill Ackman) that the content messaging on behalf of the Netanyahu government was backfiring amid Gen-Z. To wit, Netanyahu said, ‘not to worry’ my good friends of Israel, Larry Ellison and David Ellison, have things under control with TikTok, Twitter and Paramount. CBS’s Bari Weiss announced shortly thereafter.
While the inside White House influence game continues, all of these various 2025 interests again find their origin in Sea Island, Georgia, at the March 2016 AEI conference. Remember, think “owners” not “horses.”
♦ HORSES:
• Vice President JD Vance – Heir apparent to the MAGA endorsement of President Donald Trump. Groomed from the stable of billionaire influence agent and one time (no more) friend of President Trump, Peter Thiel. A more libertarian co-founder of Palantir, a skyrocketing AI software platform creator with billions in new federal contracts and likely more to come. Palantir CEO Alex Karp, a key industrialist applying the very best of AI creator systems to the merging targeting and identity tracking technology of the future.
Without Peter Thiel, there is no Senator JD Vance in 2022. Without Senator JD Vance there is no VP nominee in 2024. Oh, and despite their stealth separating in 2017, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel remain BFF influencers in 2025. And without Larry Ellison in 2022, there is no liquidity Musk to capture the Twitter Platform, which not coincidentally became a launch vehicle for the Ron effort shortly after Ellison said he would not allow Musk to fail.
So, where does that put JD Vance’s collar? Who knows? We’ll keep watching as Mr Ellison, having successfully moved beyond the X operation, now moves to the TikTok/Paramount phase while simultaneously owning the Oracle system operation that X utilizes.
• Secretary of State Marco Rubio – For the first time in his political career, Marco is in a position where he is not directly accountable to voters. Having risen through the Florida legislature, state house and on to a federal Senate seat representing Florida, for the first time Rubio is applying himself without any election worries. His constituent base consists of President Trump.
Rubio is seemingly giving the appearance of having turned Maverick, having fun poking back at his previous owners, while running amuck in the free-range of Trump’s well-manicured landscape. Is Rubio required to return to a previously designated stable? Again, who knows. It’s super fun to watch this new less groomed, yet well maintained, stallion running in the wild. However, his pedigree is as trained as a Lipizzaner stallion. Will he tire of the free-range? We’ll keep watching.
• Governor Ron DeSantis – The one constant political hot mess in an ever-consistent GOPe playbook.
You might say that DeSantis could never stand a chance given his failure to launch in 2024. However, do not underestimate the stupidity of the professional consultant class who have a way of convincing owners that horse can run.
Ron’s only problem is he needs very narrow blinders and can’t turn corners. Other than that, he’s solid in the straights when all the obstacles are removed and the track is groomed specifically for his platformed shoes.
The issue for Sea Island, with DeSantis, is that despite his extremely managed exteriors, and despite the massive amount of money spent on the influence operations and appearances, only a specific type of Jockey can fit that little saddle.
[I mean someone had to tell Casey what to wear in Iowa the last time, and, well, think about it…. They both looked in the mirror that morning and thought, “Awesome – this will get em’.” How’d that work out?]
SUMMARY: Underneath all of what we are visibly seeing and witnessing, especially the outrage du-jour, is an underlying political background that consistently tries to control outcomes through various methods. This effort to split the MAGA base, using Israel or (insert_next_thing_here) as a wedge issue within the America First movement – only benefits one larger apparatus, the Sea Island billionaire control system.
This billionaire control system, a public-private partnership, previously deconstructed and co-opted the Tea Party returning the system to status quo.
The billionaires in finance and tech are set; their influence operation only varies slightly depending on the challenge, because they know they can purchase every horse in the race, and they are working earnestly through various iterations of the same owner playbook, with the end goal the same – control.
Just reject it.
Live your best life and pray.
The Republican Party is fracturing because the Republican Party is getting nothing serious done. A lot of tough talk, but not enough action.
Damn Straight. Republican’ts find a way. Every. Single. Time. And the sad part is we keep falling for the “Whadda gonna do, vote for the Socialists??” Routine .. We stroll around with a MAGA sugar high, unawares only to slip on a banana peel and land perfectly over a barrel into waiting fuzzy handcuffs so we can get cornholed again by Lindsey Graham and his girlfriends.
Witness the splitters.
We all knew in our hearts that Virginia was doomed in 2025. The Powers that be would not miss the chance to diminish President Trump. The Va GOP ran as far away from President Trump and MAGA as possible. They gave us nothing to vote for…the result will be every restriction on freedom the snakes can come up with in their ascendant time. I can’t detest the RNC and the state GOP apparatus enough at the moment.
Be warned as Virginia goes there may go the country.
I rue the day that my home State elected this shill for progressives, but Spamburger amazed me with her post election comment that the federal shutdown must end. In a Rubioesque moment, Spanberger dropped her radical left policies and sided with MAGA.
I am sure that won’t last and we will see higher energy prices in Virginia very soon, but it did confirm one thing for me: MAGA maintains significant influence to make a dyed-in-the-wool Progressive become pragmatism. pragmatist.
The shutdown got her elected, so she didn’t need it any more.
Bad Cabinet Selections and inaction on certain fronts are The Splitters. Period.
VA has always been ground zero for UniParty Illusion Of Choice. It was the Dems turn, as agreed to by the Professional D and R party apparatus’.
Until citizens take hold of the State level parties and wrest control from them, MAGA candidates will never make it onto a primary ballot. Both parties work together to prevent it.
What?
Since when does a foreign anti-Trump RINO not inspire conservative America Firsters?
Surely, when the Establishment GOP clumsily tries to check the * black * box it would be a sure winner?
And clumsily tries to check the: “we aren’t really racists” box, what could go wrong?
Who needs a positive message that ordinary people care about?
/ s /
Our dear friend Dutchman would have howled his famous takedown of how; MAGA needs to tackle “all things local GOP” and that is the battles in the local elections need to be won and capture of the state committee chairs so the beast can be defeated.
Saw some MAGA battling going on in Georgia and believe there is more going on at present,, to unseat some real RINO asshats! This needs to happen nationwide.
PDJT is doing his dang best right now identifying some of those asshats now. Rand, Massie, Greene. Just saying.
Council On Foreign Relations owned Speaker Gingrich was the arch-Fabian Uniparty traitor of the 90’s. Almost singlehandedly hijacked the Republican Revolution of 94, deflected with the Lewinsky Psyop impeachment instead of the ChinaGate high treason, and helped his CFR buddy Billy Boy pass every treasonous Free Trade legislation that the Council On Foreign Relation traitors could draw up and pass down the Beltway
Cheers btw my friend
The alternative is to leave PDJT on the field of battle completely exposed to communist demoncraps.
Well, whada you gonna do?
Ma’am, none of us told him to let Don Jr. pick the Cabinet, who lost a bet to Hannity on the golf course, who in turn got to pick the Cabinet instead, OR to stick with obvious ringers well past any point of reason.
I’m just a peon….but I agree with you that Don Jr. doesn’t know what is what. He’s too wrapped up in that ambassador to Greece. He can’t see the forest for the boobs.
He can’t see the forest for the silicone.
There. Fixed it for you, Miss Dixie.
Great name by the way.
Back to Don Jr, he’s too much of a ham and sounds ignorant and ridiculous every time he opens his mouth and he’s certainly not qualified to choose Cabinet members.

Jr. and Kim Guilfoyle have stopped being an item some months ago.
Certainly he’s moved on to more silicone…

524 of those 535 are paid for by Israel.

Start with – Israel or more pointedly, Netenyahu needs to be put in his place. He does not or should not be running our country, telling us what to do. America First – end of story.

Worth reading by all here before this entire site goes of the deep end, which would be unfortunate …….
“Tucker Carlson’s cozying up to Holocaust downplayers, Nazi apologists, Stalin enthusiasts, and rank antisemites – along with Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts’ October 30 insistence that conservatism’s big tent is big enough to embrace those who hate Jews and fawn over murderous tyrants – widened a parlous rift on the right. (Roberts apologized to Heritage colleagues on November 5.) Much is at stake because Carlson is not some obscure crank but rather host of one of America’s top-ranked right-wing podcasts. And the Heritage Foundation is not a rinky-dink, fly-by-night operation but the nation’s largest, wealthiest, and most influential conservative think tank.
Consequently, it is incumbent on President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, who lead the Republican party and captain the American right, to intervene…..”

Tucker is a Democrat in his heart and is proud of that. So what.
He knows Islam is preferable to Israel and Zionism and is not afraid to interview honest Muslims and their supporters. So what if Tucker got $15,000,000 from Omeed Malik?
Fuentes admires Hitler. Again, so what.
MAGA is what was – “America First” and our Blue Hats are newer and will triumph over MAGA and its Red Hats.
Go, Tucker!!!! Go, Nick!!! Go Rod Dreher!!!!
I think you forgot the /sarc tag.
Also, Tucker was raised in the Episcopal church, which has taught for decades replacement theology i.e. the church has replaced Isreal in fullfilling God’s promises.
Islam not Israel, right Joan?
Exactly
Excellent point, many are owned by Israel AND the UK. Others are owned by Muslim Brotherhood. Others are owned by South American drug cartels. There is some overlapping.
How about posting a link for that info??
The bot can’t.
Yes, so much better to prefer Islam.
OK, Mohammed
Paltry, please help me to understand how you know “…524 of those 535 are paid for by Israel.”
I got tunnel vision and replied above without reading your comment. Spot on.
Gold is rising because central banks are buying it because it is now a tier one asset. Previously, only US treasuries were tier 1 assets. Tier one means they can issue loans against the value of the asset. This change occurred July 8, 2025.
Also, with the Biden inflation, some commoners are realizing that gold and silver may maintain their value long term better than US dollars and/or treasuries. Traditionally, people were advised to hold 5% of their net worth in gold or silver but now some advisors are recommending as much as 20% of their net worth.
Truly. Where has the prep and planning been behind the scenes to have a logistical and practical alternative and solution to the inherently flawed ACA – with a bridging function to get there?
All of the angst we can see in the fringy voices that have either always been at the edge, under the surface, and easily propped up as knee jerk solutions – no matter how errant, unethical, unprincipled, and misled – that some will latch onto.
“Certain leaders and people of influence pushed and pulled to bring to life the frankenstein nationalist populist movement, but with it all the tangential warty traits like jew hatred, isolationist policies, zero immigration, Catholic integralists, dominion theology evangelicals, Christian nationalists, White supremacists, religious or ethnic bigots, and timid or alarmist technology panicans.” — H Stapleton
(IOW, a cobbled together coalition of inherent contradictions and competing interests/positions)
Um hmm..
We keep electing and reelecting Republican politicians who openly oppose us. Whose fault is that?
Even strongly Republican states send Senators to Congress who pander to the left and shaft the right. John McCain spent several decades making clear his dislike for the base of the GOP, and he kept getting reelected. From what was then a solidly reliable Republican state.
And he is hardly an isolated example. The voters need to start doing their own job a lot better.
it’s fascinating, after all we’ve witnessed, and especially this late in the game, the number of folks still believing our elections are free and fair
it seems a regrettably large number
Not much has been done to right these wrongs…
Elections are fake.
The important ones have been fake for twenty years.
With a brief pause in 2016 and another in 2024.
Vote harder is not the answer.
One election day, a clean new Real ID registration process, paper ballots, verified ID at the polls, hand counts in small precincts with real time camera broadcasts, and monitoring by the National Guard.
The only real answer.
No military monitors, No Real ID, otherwise, on target.
it’s excruciatingly frustrating the fact so many fail to realize this since time’s getting short
All of that – and STRONGLY ENFORCED.
Whatever is happening to the First Amendment? Cameras, Bational Guard, strongly enforced? Big Brother will make sure you vote properly.
“I can’t do that, Dave.”
I think the National Guard were put in place to deal with riots due to economic issues like SNAP being unfunded and ICE being attacked.
The rigging you describe isn’t confined to Election Day. The entire process of the primaries is where most of the corrupt shenanigans take place.
Here in Indiana, outside of 4 Democrat counties, we have one-party rule with the GOPe in charge. The Professional Republicans have established an extremely well funded machine that controls ballot access at the county level.
Candidates who aren’t part of the machine don’t get funding. They are ignored by the corporate media outlets, even to the extent that they are not allowed to participate in public debates.
In many cases they aren’t even allowed to be on the ballot because they can’t meet the convoluted, draconian laws imposed by the GOPe Machine for ballot access.
For those who are interested in such things, Google former Clark County Sheriff Jamey Nole. He was prosecuted and sentenced to prison, but I promise you there are other king makers/money makers in a bunch of other Indiana counties who are doing the same stuff. It’s happening in the other red states too.
And the GOPe marches on.
PS-Former Indiana Governor/VP Mike Pence was a close “friend” of Jamey Nole. Imagine that.
Federal Election Reform won’t happen unless the Republican Senate unifies behind President Trump and kills the silent filibuster (60-vote requirement).
There are only a few months left; failure to past Federal Election Reform means the Democrats will cheat their way to the House and Senate majorities next year, and that will stymie President Trump and MAGA for the remainder of his term.
It’s now or never.
Call your senators and keep talking about killing the filibuster. Every day! If we don’t it ain’t gonna happen. Couldn’t agree more L.E. 😎🎯
I don’t know how anyone can watch the last many years of open election rigging and still blame the voters and not the riggers.
John McCain was awful.
But he was Arizona’s problem.
Who, in one of his last defiant acts against President Trump, voted to keep Obamacare when we could have been rid of it in Trump’s first term. He was a national problem.
Turned out he was a much bigger problem. Obamacare, Steele Dossier…?
And the Middle East and the Ukraine . . .
He was an equal opportunity train wreck everywhere he went.

This post and several others have reflected the love-hate relationship with the Republican party.
When I start thinking the Repubs are not so bad, I will think about this:
“When they departed Sea Island, eventually the professional Republicans (GOPe) ended up settling on supporting Hillary Clinton, because Donald Trump could not be defeated within the confines of the party apparatus and became the presumptive nominee. “
If that doesn’t focus the mind, nothing will.
That means we have no representation among the congress corrupt critters.
The fact that none of these CONgress critters have called for even a one day recess during anytime within Pres Trump’s two terms to afford our president the opportunity to appoint his own MAGA cabinet.. speaks volumes about our representation.. does it not?
John McCain was duly elected by Republucans in the State of Arizona. For those living in the other 49 States, what gives them right to question Arizona voters?
yes we know rino’s (on most part ) voted for him…saaad
Strongly worded letters that aren’t even strong anymore. Just worded letters that look good for a moment then disappear back to status quo and the charade carries on
Andwho owns thos horses? Lol
This is Paul Ryan 2.0. Getting nothing done means Trump can be erased in a few days. Slow walking voter reform, no arrests from Bondi and Patel, Democrats shutting down the Congress and trying to hurt the economy, Judicial Lawfare. Antifa continued riots in several cities.
The Lilliputians are trying to tie Gulliver down.
Remember to distinguish between factions.
Inside the DC beltway, GOP = one wing of Uniparty
Outside DC, GOP might or might not be conservative, MAGA, America 1st, etc.
Need to analyze by state, even by county.
Our friends Mark Mitchell at Rusmussen, and Rich Baris at People’s Pundit excel at such analytics – AND specific actions to take.
ACTION – ACTION – ACTION
“The Republican Party is fracturing because the Republican Party is getting nothing serious done. A lot of tough talk, but not enough action.”
So……….In other words, the more things change, the more they remain the same? Figures………………..
*sigh*
Stand with Tucker Carlson against Israel and his supporting an increase Muslim immigration to the United States until the Zionists in America disappear.
Sundance is 100% right about the split in the Republican Party.
Tucker is right and the GOP is wrong.
America First!!!
Par excellence sir!
interesting the palace intrigue
but sans free and fair elections, we stand no chance politically of stopping where this country is headed
I knew Sundance must have been working on a huge piece…cannot wait to read and digest all the info that he is presenting in this post!
Well, that makes too much sense.
Thanks you.
Candace Owens now takes aim at President Trump and MAGA:
“MAGA is over, it lost its edge, you just know it’s over”
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1988239080014930368#m
She is a devious snake
She is a
deviousfinancially compensated snake
by whom?
Her husband is a multi-millionaire.
And her father-in-law, of course, is a member of the House of Lords.
Highest bidder.
Sounds like an accurate assessment of where things are.
I can’t stand her. I liked her for a time, but she’s like a young rattler: she has no ability to withhold her venom.
..if you do not like Candace switch to Madc*w…..perhaps she make you stick to screen
President Trump called Tucker Carlson a nut and has dismissed Candace Owens out of hand.
I see them both as MAGA splitters
Don Surber, Kane at CFP, Bill O’Reilly, Jordan Peterson, among many other level-headed non-Jewish thinkers, have made reference to Candace Owens’ extremism and lunacy. Many have decried Tucker Carlson accommodating and giving a platform to infantile gadfly Nick Fuentes praising Hitler. You don’t have to be Jewish to find that event appalling.
We watch people who jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon soon become unhinged, blaming Israel for every problem we face here and abroad. That’s where Owens has gone and Carlson is right behind her. We’ve seen this before and we know where it leads.
‘people who jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon’ may have the same effect as the people who jump on the Israeli bandwagon.
The dielectic requires 2 poles.
Then, maybe it is NOT Israel that is the issue, this conflict could be a cover for the real enemy. Someone said the British invented communism and blamed it on the Jews. Could it be that the battle we are witnessing is those with allegiance to the British and their colonial forms of governance versus those with allegiance to the Constitution of the United States?
Disagree. Tucker says what is exactly true. The Prime Minister of Israel has no business influencing our country to do another country’s bidding. AMERICA FIRST. We have already compromised our country by bombing another country on their behalf. This cannot continue. Israel is perfectly able to do their own bombing. Netenyahu has been seen bragging that he controls the U.S. and Trump. This needs to be shut down immediately and Netenyahu put back in his place.
PDJT made Netenyahu accept a ceasefire & a defacto 2 state solution on his border.
Looks to me very much like Bibi has been put in his place.
That process began immediately after Trump’s election, November 2024, to help pave Trump’s ME agenda. Israel gave up a huge military advantage by not advancing another one mile on Lebanon:

Our press reports on Israel and Russia equally well.
not quite …yet…..
The bombing of Iran opened up the ME peace process and is leading to an expansion of the Abraham Accords. One of President Trump’s proudest achievements. The benefits to our Country are enormous. How are complaints about Israel even relevant at this time?
For some, it appears that obsessive Israel hate has become a way of life.
Unfortunately that hatred and antisemitism now being manifested on the right, not just the left, and too prominent on this site with no pushback from the moderators………
What do you mean, the US bombing another country (Iran) on their behalf (Israel)?! Do you think Iran would not train those nukes on us, when and if they could? They have developed intercontinental delivery systems. They don’t need those for Israel. Trump was 100% acting in the US’s interest when he stopped Iran’s nukes. An attack on Iran, who was the lead actor in 9/11, was decades overdue, to properly respond to the 1979 Iranian US embassy invasion.
With all due respect, you do not know what you are talking about, and, if you look in the mirror you might notice that your bias is showing!
I’m afraid that “dismissing” the base of your own party is not a winning political strategy. People like Ownes and Carlson have massive followings, far greater than your “level-headed non-Jewish thinkers”.
Just a few short years ago the Right was up in arms about “deplatforming”. Now we see that a certain faction on the right loves deplatforming, as long as they get to decide who is deplatformed. Which turns out to be anyone whose opinions they want silenced.
This makes the Right look like unprincipled cynical liars.
Thank you!
Your important contributions here are highly valued, even if by only a few!
Owens is 100% somebody who says stupid bs trying to stay relevant, if she ever was.
There will part of the MEGA base that won’t turn against Israel regardless of politics. A widely held Christian belief is that Israel is God’s chosen nation and those who support Israel are complying with a Biblical mandate.
I cannot and dare not speak for God. However, yes, Israel is an important country and blessed by God. But so are we. And who can say whether God was speaking of the Israel 2000 years ago and not necessarily the Israel of today.
I’d say look at Isreal’s history. The re-emergence of a Jewish state, the 6 day war, the alignment of nations against it, etc etc. Be safe guess Isreal might still be relevant in Biblical prophecy. It would be a bad mistake to take the chance the Israel of the Old & New Testament is not somehow still the same Isreal.
Below proves that anyone with a platform is a controlled asset marionette . ALL OF THEM. If you get followers and have influence they will come for you, with threats and offers, which is criminal harassment and no covert directive makes it legal. The “Billionaires/Trillionaires” are using state power to control all. [Their] network of guests is so LOL…
How bad is the corruption?
Lauren Southern: “Intelligence agents showed up at my door late last year. I told them to leave. They proceeded to call me from anonymous numbers repeatedly. Contacted my gym. Told me they wouldn’t go away unless I “built a relationship with them” as an asset. “Your audience will never know””

Trump 2028!
MAGA!!!
She’s entitled to her opinion. We’re entitled to laugh & ignore it.
And yet Megyn Kelly refuses to condemn her or Tucker Carlson – very disappointed in her right now!
Excellent depiction of what is happening…. and right here at the Treehouse. What is so hilarious is that it is so blatant!y obvious.
Now, let’s see the ensuing discussion and who pops up!
Thank you, Sundance!
Good observation, Observer. I was thinking the same thing reading the comments that came before yours. Sundance’s theory of the case makes much more sense to me than that of the splitters commenting here.
Exactly that it’s blatantly obvious
Us Treepers have seen this for ten plus years.
Sundance’s article toned the “splitters” down a bunch compared to the last few weeks. It is so much nicer without them.
Exactly.
Once you see the strings…
Yes! “…and right here at the Treehouse.”
There’s just no quit in these b*st*rds, is there ???
Why would they quit? Zero accountability. All setbacks can be undone with an autopen. Without losing scalps they will persist.
Qatar seems to play both sides. Funds and supports Islamic terrorists, yet cooperates with the US in some national security issues and wants to hold the role of being the mediator between US and Islamic terrorist groups.
I read somewhere that the reason they hosted some of the Hamas leaders in Qatar was because it was at the request of the US. And it appears they cooperated in helping the US with the Gaza Israel peace deal.
So are we using them or are they using us? Or is it just a complex geopolitical relationship?
QATAR HAS BEEN INFILTRATION US UNIVERSITIES, LEFT WING THINK TANKS, DHS, ANTIFA( with Soros-they have the same ideals)
Infecting them and and our kids with Anti American hatred, anti Jew hatred.
True. Qatar has a bigger FARA lobbyist than Israel right now also. In fact of the top ten….Israel barely made the list at number 10. There are three Arab countries higher on the lobby list than Israel.
It should also be said that Qatar has specifically targeted Trump/MAGA groups to try to influence.

Seems rather disingenuous since Israel doesn’t have to register with fara.
Of course, the country of Israel has to register with fara.
AIPAC doesn’t…as it is American citizens. The same as Iranian-American or Chinese American PACs, etc.
is it include double citizens too ???? or Americans on most part with other citizenship ???
Why does charlottes pro Israel comments get to stay but my anti Israel (not anti semitic) comments get deleted?
Become ungovernable.
SAVE to Photos! Making a meme out of that one.
Its not Israel you all have to fear.
Its QATAR and the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY INFILTRATED THE US AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT
Can it be both? Maybe ANY country that attempts to manipulate US Foreign policy should be of concern….
ISRAEL IS NOT THE ONE ENTITY WHO THREATENS TO KILL CHRISTIANS AND JEWS WORLDWIDE.
ITS MUSLIMS–QATAR, IRAN, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD
WAKE UP
YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN INFILTRATED.
SO HAS CANADA
SO HAS THE UK
SO HAS AUSTRALIAN BEEN INFESTED WITH THIS MURDEROUS SCUM
Please do not “yell” at me (all caps) for asking a simple question…
This is the problem, IMHO – anyone who strays from THE one “acceptable” position is immediately castigated and attacked. This only helps those who are attempting to divide our coalition, by demanding a purity test in order to remain in “good” standing, but some people evidently cannot see that.
STOP yelling!
Sometimes we need to yell!
she always yell as…LEVIN …
We are bordered in the South by a NarcoState. In the North, we are bordered by a failing Socialist/Globalist State.
If we stay MAGA, we have our work cut out for us just staying free.
And Texas and Michigan. There are 328 mosques in TX. 167 mosques in michigan.
Several mosques in Dearborn broadcast the adhan from loudspeakers, often early in the morning (e.g., around 5:30 a.m.) and multiple times throughout the day.
Amen, VM, AMEN!
Uep, and the ones we manipulated should be equally concerned.
Yes
not for charlotte …
Who’s infiltrated more than more than Israel…more like a counterweight
It’s definitely Israel, and let’s take this moment to remind ourselves that Israel has bots that post on this website.
What screen names have these bots been using?
Nice try to avoid the truth of the legitimate pushback against the hate and antisemitism you are attempting to promulgate here…….
zero ain’t on our side either, Charlotte. He NEVER was as he just fooled most of the american people in 2008….But you already know that……
You need an infinite number of likes.
Trump needs to get back to domestic issues, he’s drifted of into losing sight of what’s happening on the ground to the common people and has been promoting the interests of wall street and real estate investment brokers over the people.
Right now they’re getting everything they’ve ever wanted and more and the people are getting the shaft. The numbers and the data cannot spin the reality of what’s happening.
There’s not going to be any meaningful correction possible without a down turn in the real estate market and the economy. That is not trumps fault, just a fact of life. But trump is not going or not willing to let the necessary corrections happen.
Promoting a 50 year mortgage? is no solution, it is joke!, being indefinitely indebted to the banking system for life is not solving the problem, and not seeing that the problems is ever going to be resolved by letting the banks rule over the government. Which is the reality of the situation at hand.
Meanwhile wall street and real estate investment brokers and banks are the only people getting what they want out of the situation as it unfolds. No one is gaining any ground but the international banking community at the peoples expense.
Oh my another thread of your doom and gloom narrative. Give us a rest and take a break.
Is that you MTG?
When was the last time someone owned a house for 50 years?
The average is 7!
The intent of the program is to drop the monthly mortgage payment, knowing the term of the loan doesn’t matter because the ownership will be far less.
It’s an alternative, an option. It can help people.
Think BIGLY. Think different.
I will believe a correction is happening when see it taking place. But I have no reason to believe that the big banks are ever going to willingly let that happen. It’s to profitable for the banks and real estate investors that now own most of the real estate to want to let that happen.
That is the main source of our national debt, it has been a money laundering scheme, to swindle money out of the federal reserve in the form bailouts that in turn gets sucked up into the banking system by default, and turned into real estate investments.
https://wolfstreet.com/2025/11/11/a-50-year-mortgage-does-nothing-for-affordability-is-a-terrible-deal-for-homeowners-and-a-superb-deal-for-banks-investors/
Dutchman would be proud of you stepping in to expose the “banksters”.
The main source of our debt is Congress spending Trillions more than it takes in with taxation.
That Government Debt is the fuel that drives inflation.
Okay, let’s look at the possibility that buying a home with a 50 year loan replaces paying rental on someone else’s property for 50 years.
No one stays in a rental that long and most of the time a homeowner starts with a fixer upper and looks to upgrade their living space.
At a young age when you start a family – rentals are not cheap, but building a fund to get a down payment to buy an investment property will actually let you maintain a steady budget for many years to come.
I bought my home in ’85 and it was paid off before retirement and I haven’t had a note/rent ever since.
Btw the big banks will work with you anyway they can to make it happen for you 😛
I wish it was 1985.
I would not considering it to be a good move to buy a home for anyone right now.
So just pay rent 😛
Dogsma. You do not own your home. You are renting from the state. Skip the property tax payment and see who owns that house.
but you see, I do have the deed and pay property taxes to the city I live in for upkeep on utilities…my homestead exemption covers parish taxes and because of my age the value is frozen. 😛
Your home is never paid off as long as property taxes remain in place.
I hope here in FL Desantis gets rid of property taxes!
We sure didn’t help that average as we have owned our home (our third) for 46 years now. But we started with a 25-year mortgage( 3years) and then went to a 20-year mortgage (5 years), before settling on a 15-year mortgage for the current home.
But the fact is you are correct, the term of the loan doesn’t matter unless that is the only house you will ever own. As you own multiple homes over the years, you are able to take the profits and put more money down on the next home, thereby allowing you to swing a mortgage with a shorter term, as we did. Also, as the years go by, your income rises, so that helps as well to swing a shorter term mortgage.
My hubs and I bought at the young age of 20/21. We built equity and bought 3 times. Always refinancing when rates dropped and got shorter time on mortgage with extra payments toward principle. We were able at the young age,40/41 to pay CASH for our final home…
My Grandparents owned their house for 50 years.
I know some other as well.
But its definitely the minority.
Perhaps its worth thinking about less “financeillization” of homes.
Less opportunity for investors and developers to take over existing neighborhoods and radically alter them in a short time frame, which pushes out longtime residents.
Also keeps locals more invested, when the view their home and neighborhood as a long term proposition instead of a just a stepping stone.
My parents as well as my grandparents owned their homes for 50 years or more. I’ve been in my house for 30. I know many people who’ve been in their houses more than 7 years.
Thank you. I was going to post something similar. 30 year mortgages are rarely finished so 50 year mortgages won’t be either, but the payments are smaller. More interest paid is the big one though. Rates will matter a lot on a mortgage of that length.
Would be better if the marketplace drove the prices of real estate down via supply and demand. In our area, even with price increases, the demand is far outstripping the supply. People aren’t moving as much as they did because they can’t afford to. Maybe 50 year mortgages will get that road block removed, but so would easing prices of food and healthcare.
It is a short term solution to keep the home sales business alive through lower monthly payments until interest rates go down to an appropriate level. Then folks can refinance.
It also would lock in your monthly mortgage to a set price, as where rent will likely increase. And if income increases (or interest rates decrease) years later they could refinance for a shorter term at a later date.
It is simply one of many options they are working on.
And your comment shows exactly why home ownership is a different market and needs to be treated differently.
Rent will go up….likely. But the mortgage won’t. So somebody for a long time eats the difference or takes a huge risk. I am an old man and remember the Savings and Loan Collapse, the destroying of Fannie and Freddie, and then for you young folks the Subprime Mortgage Solution.
I like banks. It is a wonderful capitalist solution to loaning money, creating money. The bank has to eat its bad loans. The old profit and loss system works well. Good loans let the banks make more good loans and the economy grows without the government doing anything. You get government involved and the thinking is the money well will never go dry.
Another idea is to buy a small starter home in a nice town. Sell your starter home then buy a bigger home later when you can afford it.
That’s what my husband and I did.
Live within your means.
It’s crazy to see young couples today buying huge homes that straps them down.
Exactly. However, I think they need to give builders incentives to build more starter homes (or smaller homes).
I’m in a rural area. All the new subdivisions are huge gigantic expensive houses. There are no subdivisions being built with smaller houses.
That is what my ex wife and I did. We bought a small half a double (approx. 900 sq. ft.) in 1991 (married that year) with a 30 year FHA mortgage, sold that and bought a 3 bedroom split level (1800 sq. ft. counting the 2 car garage) in a neighboring town in 2004 with a 30 year traditional mortgage. We divorced in 2012, she left me that house and I ended up selling it under duress (basically broke even) in 2016.
Bingo.
Yes, SD. We should all view Trump’s positions/policies from the 40,000 foot perspective.
If 50 year is a good idea, then interest only has to be even better. As long as you can assume home prices will rise 7%-10% a year, that could work out. What kind of down payment would be needed? On a 50 year note, after 7 years you would have about 3% of the total loan applied to principle. That’s not much cushion on a sale when you add in the cost to close a transaction. The added risk will be applied to the interest rate.
And BTW, wife and I bough houses we still own in 79, 82, and 87 so not 50 years but getting up there. Paid down those notes in 15 or so years and now the two we aren’t currently living in throw off around $40k in free cash flow per year from rents.
Exactly! Just argued this point yesterday. Have a young family member with a good income struggling to find a home.
It is called renting and a 50 year mortgage is a nutty solution. Get Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and private equity out of the Residential Home Business. Get the millions of illegals out of the country. Stop the runaway spending by the Federal Government so interest rates can drop bigly…. Magically the problem is solved.
Free market capitalism works.
Does anybody but me remember 2008?
People will buy homes that they can not afford on “easy credit terms”. When the downturn inevitably comes, whammo.
And it’s not just the mortgage payment. It’s the upkeep/maintenance that they never tell you about.
If you can afford a $200,000 home on a 30-year mortgage, or a $400,000 home on a 50-year mortgage, the difference in the amount of money you need for upkeep per year is enormous. And the older the house, the worse it gets. Saving 3-5% per year for the inevitable maintenance is lot of money. Many people don’t do it, and the house deteriorates, decreasing its value.
Not only that, the interest is front-loaded. You pay mostly interest to the halfway point in the loan term. So if you only keep the house for a few years, all you’ve done is pay interest anyway. You haven’t built any equity unless the uncertain housing market has done it for you. Plus you’re out all that upkeep.
We need to solve the problem instead of sticking a bandaid on a gushing artery.
A ban on Private Equity firms buying up millions of homes would also help.
Likewise, nonresident foreigners buying residential real estate should either be restricted to buying new construction so as to increase the pool of real estate helping to keep prices lower, or be subject to a non-occupancy tax if they buy it simply to part wealth outside the country where they actually live (both Australia and Canada do this).
Of course getting the UniParty to do any of this is the challenge…
Lots of people own houses for more than 30 years. We’ve been in ours for 45. Fortunately, we’ve paid off our mortgage(s).
Fifty-year loans would just be a windfall for the banks. The solution is to build more houses!
7 year car loans have been around for some time.
My wife buys her cars new with maximum payment terms, then she pays off the note in one year.
dang, I thought car loans had gone up to 10 years
When the waiters and waitresses and others in the hospitality industry, in addition to people who worked overtime to any significant degree, as well as retired seniors collecting Social Security, begin doing their tax returns in a couple of months and see their big deductions for these items resulting in big refunds, those people will see they haven’t been given the shaft and will come to appreciate the President much more than they might right now.
Hopefully when those tax cuts expire at the end of 2028, people will remember it was congress not President Trump who allowed them expire.
Just like we didn’t let the tax cuts from 2017 expire with the BBB, we won’t let those cuts expire either, at least if Republicans are in control.
You will own nothing. And be happy.
In fairness to him, the Ukraine, Israel, Iran mess had to be addressed.
On the domestic side, he did all he could to move the Fed puppet to reduce interest rates, but all he could manage was to educate people about the political gamesmanship the Fed plays.
Powell’s term is not up until mid May of next year, which is still a long time.
I understand that, but then what?. We’re dealing with the shadow banking system. I am hopeful, but I also understand all that’s involved, whats going to have to take place for any meaningful changes to happen.
They’ve been getting away with riding on gravy train and being above the law for decades now, no one has called them out, no one has stood in their way, no one has stopped them as of yet.
Can’t see them not trying everything in their power to prevent it from happening, not putting up big fight.
The Fed was created to take politics out of monetary policy. To run monetary policy for the people of the country not the fat cats and politicians.
Think back to Paul Volcker. No Politician would have had the guts to raise interest rates to 20% to get rid of the rampant inflation. Volcker did it and the politicians could complain but they were the ones that got us in that mess.
But just like the DOJ, FBI and the rest the Democrats have politicized and weaponized government. Bernanke was the start of it for the Fed and Powell is an abject disaster. Lowering rates before the election for Harris when rates
should have been raised and then not lowering rates when Trump won. Throw in the wasting of Billions building a Palace for himself. SO the Fed is just as ruined now as the FBI. It needs to be replaced too.
No one ever said that you can’t pay the 50 year loan off in say 20 years. All extra would go towards the principle not interest. There is that. Only one shafted then is the bank.
… and the bank is not shafted since the initial mortgage payments are mostly interest on the principle.
Our country used to have the 20 year mortgage. Lets go back to that – manageable debt that does not consume your life blood.
Is there a specific “DOOM” groomer group you get your talking points from?

No worries!

I’m seeing Vance’s star rise. Is it a good thing? Only time will tell. The same with Marco (although, he has been a pleasant surprise).
Regarding the lobbying influence battles, wasn’t Bondi registered as a Qatar agent?
IIRC, Bondi and Susie…
Thought as much. With the “Qatar” versus “Israel” influence battles, this puts a few things into place for me.
I now have to wonder if the reasons behind Pam and Susie include the Qatar angle. Makes one wonder.
Hmmm
Trump needs to focus on home and cut out all the international stuff. One year left before mid terms.
As an early tea party guy I know frustration and wasting the next 12 months is frustrating. Trump must get Congress to act decisively in favor of MAGA.
We need to know who their owners are…
It is all inter related. America does not exist in a sealed bubble. The trade deals reconfigured with our current trading entities, and new trading between formerly warring countries benefits American industry, creates American jobs, in America.
ron! has made all the right moves to help the Sea Island Sea Cucumbers pull all the necessary strings to Dynamically Price Day One MAGA AS FOUNDED Normals right on out of New Florida.
Kinda funny, I guess Ben Shapiro read the rip I made about his beard that looks as though it belongs on a ghey porn actor in the Presidential Thread the other day.
I thought this after I saw a clip of the video he made saying “If you can’t afford to live where you grew up, then you will just have to move! That’s all there is to it.” I almost felt as though he might have been speaking directly to me in a not so round about way.
If he was he can get fuct and enjoy the sinkholes.
If not he can still get fuct because I’ve never liked him from the jump.
Benny is a d***wad.
Well written, and a very solid analysis.
Courageous as well.
Time wasted on debating Israel v Qatar (Mob Boss VSGPDJT actually now has both of them on his leash and mostly off the City’s leash – remember the MB and the modern state of Israel ultimately both owe their existence to the banksters) is time diverted from the very real imminent threats to the US.
Too much of it has played out here, as the red ants are stirred up against the black ants. Best to scroll on by.
Who is shaking the jar?
Bari Weiss, the Ellisons, Peter Theil – these people are still middle management, and are themselves creations, especially the Ellisons and Theil. Have a look at his father, Klaus Theil and his career at South Africa’s uranium mine. Trace the family back.
Probably the most interesting moment of the last few months was when POTUS more or less publicly pantsed Miriam Adelson in front of the Knesset.
Mob boss move.
He is his own horse, and that proved it.
Not so sure they are both on a leash – maybe he’s taught them to sit pretty for now.
“As long as I have Sarah” pat, pat, pat – yes, he absolutely has Netanyahu on a leash.
His victory tour and trade and arms sales deal in and with Qatar say the same. He made a point of saying he had been friends with Al-Thani a long, long time. I believe there is some information that when everyone else abandoned him when he was declaring bankruptcy and was on the ropes, the Qataris were the ones who came through for him.
He has forged his own personal bonds over decades. And really, who wouldn’t want to be out from under MI6 and the central banks? Sovereignty can be a shared goal, even among very different countries.
Excellent reply ! I’m still laughing! You certainly have some great points, not disputing any of your facts, but everyone knows a dog will bite the hand that feeds it eventually.
Particularly if an incentive exists for such biting.
not yet..but VSGPDJT ..work hard on it….
Did Miriam dare to spell out in the Knesset whom she like more USA or Israel as VSGPDJT ask her ????
I think the way for MAGA to unite and not let Israel be a splinter is to make it the policy to simply treat Israel from a geopolitical approach (not special relationship). There has been some discussion out there on this as a way forward.
Israel is a good ally. We should acknowledge that. And there may be America First reasons to give some support, but if and how we support Israel should be based on our interest…not blind support.
America doesn’t really have “special relationships” anymore like we did in the past. Just a fact.
Our threats are:
1. Globalization WEF and one world rule
2. The DSA socialism/Marxism movement
3. Radical Islam and Sharia Law infiltrating the west
4. Mass immigration of third world and anti American immigrants
5. Economic security (economic strength is a huge part of national security).
We need to engage against all of those.
We have allies everywhere and friend nowhere.
Historically the leader who tried to be friendliest with us was Alexander II, Tsar Liberator. He drastically improved the lot of the peasantry in the Russian Empire, elevating the serfs to free peasant status about the time Honest Abe announced the Emancipation Proclamation.
Hewas the only ruler of a large European country who supported the Union. Alexander II sold us Alaska for a song.
Indeed. The US really blew an opportunity in 1992.
Rapacious “capitalists” rushed in trying to pick over the bones of a dying regime. That ended abruptly when Russia recognized US businesses were trying to colonize Russia.
Now we listen to the CIA/War Hawks in DC who want to use Ukraine as our proxy in a third world war which they believe we can win. Idiots. Nuclear war is a no win war, except for the cockroaches.
wrong .. just ask Kellogg /ms.Linda..and most of CONgre$$….
One of the first nations to recognize the fledgling USA was the Russian Empire.
A clear minded top 5.
Renewing our minds by having a personal relationship with Almighty God, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit would be at the top of that list IF you desired true engagement. When you leave out God, all human solutions are meaningless.
I’m not a fan of Qatar buying influence over US politics. Or of China doing that. But its pretty hypocritical of the Israeli lobby to act upset by it.
The principled position to take is that no foreign country should have a big say about American policy. Once you grant that power to Israel its hard to make a case for why other countries cannot bribe our politicians as well.
Agree
So, is this why no one is pushing hard within the political class to fix the election/vote counting process? Forget the Epstein files and even the Russiagate bad actors should take second fiddle to ensuring accurate elections. If we the people cannot accurately choose our leaders, then we have no Republic.
THIS
If we don’t have a true vote in 2026 I don’t wish to see the results.
Same day vote counted by hand and precincts reported by voice verification.
X user Cynical Publius has three suggestions for Trump:
Nationwide voter ID with in-person, same-day voting except for true absentee situations.End tax exempt status for ALL 501(c)(X)s (even religious, because if we leave that they will abuse it).Continue Trump’s enforcement of existing immigration laws until we have rolled back all damage done over the last ten years.
Sundance , yet another massive review of the political landscape in US-and thud the world. I will continue to pray to the King that he gives discernment to Trump and his best Cabinet teammates to allow them to do God’s work in US. I love Trump but I worship and ultimately trust Jesus.
I still believe God is using Trump to save this country but Trump must discern and listen to God’s voice amidst the chaos. Speaking of chaos I continue to hope and pray that Trump turns his gaze back on his old friend Charlie Kirk and truly helps find the real assassin. This would give Trump a massive base of support from those true lovers of the truth such as Candace Owens(number one podcast in the world now) and Tucker Carlson-and legions more. This is not to mention support from Charlie himself from his heavenly home(with God’s blessing)_
Another example of the splitter strategy at work, sorry wily will. Owens is not the top podcaster.
Why is this lie being repeated and where did it originate that Owens has the top podcast?
She isn’t even in the top ten according to spotify. Owens herself saying this?
https://podcastcharts.byspotify.com/
In the second quarter of 2025 Owens is 48th per https://www.edisonresearch.com/the-top-50-podcasts-in-the-u-s-for-q2-2025-from-edison-podcast-metrics/
here are the top ten:
Candace Owens’ podcast ranked top amid Charlie Kirk’s death, she tells The Daily Wire: ‘Thank you for…’ | Hindustan Times
Perhaps this is what he and others are referring to ?
Most of the podcasters I listen to ….have a spiel….
you can also find us on Rockfin,Odyssey,Telegram,Substack,Apple…
blah..blah…blah….
All the other raters do not agree, see above.
Sorry Monti, but I trust Candace far more than any of your rating groups that are surely manipulated by the same forces that are hating Candace from many sides. She herself states she is number one in viewings and I will take her at her word since she is a truth worshiper as I am and as our many of her loyal viewers. I know Candace would not lie -she is not capable of it at this phase of her life. She is on a mission to find the assassin who killed her dear friend Kirk. I am with her on this mission and remain deeply saddened that Sundance has chosen to ignore this massive tragedy and the FBI/DOJ/Administration(many not all involved) cover up of the true assassin .
“She herself states?” My oh my what standard of measure is this? ……My friend you have drank the kool aide.
I sorrow for you if you are indeed sincere in your words ascribing to her a religious leader position?
I pray that the scales be removed and that your landing be soft from the guaranteed disappointment sure to follow such faith in a mortal.
Monti, I never even infer that Candace is any kind of religious leader. You read in far to much which suggest you may not indeed be one of us worshippers of the truth. Those who worship the truth are led to the Truth incarnate -Jesus the Christ.
As to Candace’s podcast being tops in world Candace sites Grok’s PadScribe data as the source for her info-and I am fine with this. And she never for a second questions the accuracy of this number one ranking as you suggest. May God bless you Monti. I will continue to fight and follow Candace in relentless pursuit of the truth as to who killed Charlie. I feel certain we will win this battle. We owe it to the man Charlie.
right on.
What cover up? You won’t know what the evidence is until it is presented at the trial.
right on.
Very apt description using the racehorse/owner analogy. Veterans of the TEA party movement like myself see clearly yet another attempt to fracture what has become one of the largest political movements by and for the forgotten man ever. The attendance at President Trump rallies a never before seen bellwether away from the RNC/”conservative media” influence(ers).
My only point of contention is that both sides of the squabble are fake news and that there are no true MAGA voices currently supporting President Trump and the MAGA agenda. Even on this site a growing number of posters are becoming more critical of the President daily. The influence campaign is gaining traction.
Right now it is not ours to worry about President Trump’s replacement. Our concern of the moment should be full chorus support for the President as he seeks America First for us all. We must demand and not tolerate the GOP intentionally losing the Congress. First fracture the president’s support and loss of the thin majorities follow.
Let not the imperfect turn supporters into critics who knowingly or not reinforce the splitters.
Interesting analysis which makes this all the more fascinating to watch unfold. Going to be one hell of a Derby with Newsome, Harris and buttedge-edge and in the last slot Walz trying to keep his dancing feet still till the gun goes off and he can prance around the track.
While on the otherside we have J.D., Rubio and Gabbard an exciting filly to watch and then to round it all out we are still waiting on the surprise entries to The White House Downs taking place in 28.
Buddha edge edge…. hilarious
I can picture Timponzee prancing around the track while waving his jazz hands… er, hooves.
After reading this and the comments, I went to the Presidential Politics section and read some of the comments. The splitters and doomers are out in full force. These comments were from earlier in the day before this was posted. As usual, Sundance has hit the nail on the head. I follow Sundance and my gut. MAGA!
Sundance,
You write,
“♦ 2025 – That Sea Island crew doesn’t quit. The “anyone but Trump” operation is back in full swing despite the 2024 victory message.
“Step #1 in the control process is to lose the 2026 election and put the republican wing of the uniparty bird back into the minority. Again, this isolates our people’s president.”
Do you think we have any chance, then, of holding the HOUSE for TRUMP next Novmber?
I would love to see some Narco boats around the next Sea Island mtg. 2 birds with one “stone”.
I don’t understand the appeal of DeSantis. He comes off as a dufus.
Based on the results of the 2024 GOP presidential primaries, his appeal is very limited.
He’s a young guy, maybe he’s aiming got the 2032 elections.
He can’t run on a dry track.
He can’t run on a wet track.
His sides are scarred by the jockey’s whip.
Casey’s spurs have marked his flanks.
DeSantis looks like a plow horse plug at the starting gate but hey, “they” totally own him.
My son’s quote in his yearbook was “Be a workhorse not a show pony”. DeSantis and his wife are both show ponies.
Are any of the candidates Sundance listed free and wild mustangs or broncos? Sundance called Trump a horse and owner, but a better metaphor might be the horse that won’t be ridden for another controlled race or ride around the track for a four year term. A unbreakable horse. That’s why he’s useless to the owners and dangerous to the riders. Vance, Rubio and DeSantis don’t strike me as horses who won’t be owned and won’t be ridden.
They have misread the American people on this.
Steve Bannon is giving interviews to whoever will listen that President Trump will be the 2028 Republican Nominee once again. Erik Trump says he hasn’t ruled out throwing his name in the ring with his new bestseller selling on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For continuity and trust, I choose Donald John Trump to finish what he started unhindered by the uniparty and political traitors. My hope is the fraud election of 2020 and the treasonous traitors of 2016-17 will be prosecuted and Trump will clear the decks allowing him to move America into the “golden age” he envisions – not a free lunch, but a fair playing field for the hard-working American People!
I’m no fan of political family dynasties, and this would give the “No Kings” crowd so much fodder, even though they all wanted Hillary after Bill.
Israel influence, Qatar influence, and let’s not forget the Chinese and Indian influence too. That does have a BIG factor.
We are getting a half million Chinese natives foisted on our youth and our indoctrination center universities. Chinese Influence.
The other half of Laura Ingrahams interview with Trump dropped tonight and Trump defended H1B and replacement immigration due to lack of American talent. Indian Influence.
There is an alignment with Israel First and India First. Check the names of the owners of these American tech, AI, etc firms. Now check the names of who are the CEO’s?
I am hoping for the best and I will vote GOP regardless. But if this is what JD is bringing, I can’t tell the difference between Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, Cruz anymore because it all seems to ultimately be the same.
I want my country back.
Trump got elected in 2024 by going around the MSM and speaking to people, especially younger people, via alterative media. Speaking to Theo Von and Joe Rogan, for instance.
But now he is back in the White House he (and his people) have resumed ‘business as usual’ in the form of appearing on hostile news networks like CNN and CBS, while ignoring the podcasters who have much larger audiences than those networks.
The problem with this is that on CBS Trump and company only ever hear the left-wing objections to what they are doing. They never, ever, hear any of the criticism from the right … and there is plenty of it out there. If Trump and his cabinet members sat down with his critics on the right for a change, it might prompt them to take a different direction. Just ignoring your own base is never a good political move.
who owns the democrat “horses?” who owns Mamdani? Newsom? Cuomo? what is the democrat equivalent of Sea Island group? what part is played by the NGOs, churches, Soros/Ford/Rockefeller foundations. nice to know who controls the devil
Master Manipulators.
Well worth the time to watch.
*The casinos role in money laundering point was particularly interesting, as we have seen them infest the US over the last 20 years.
All roads lead to the boat that leads to London.
Go to the UN website and spend a few days reading; the adjacent writings of Alice Bailey and her 2025 plan are a worthwhile read, too. Then go to the WEF site, the COP30 site (ahead of that, go to COP28 and see all the religious groups that signed on to the Interfaith agreement, and what they agreed to). Then go to former UN undersecretary Robert Muller’s site about common core and world peace. Then go to the CASEL/ Fetzer website for more of what they want the schools to be teaching about religion and social responsibility (they teach social and emotional learning and astral projection in schools).
The Freemasons have stuff available, too. Becoming more available recently, too, probably because so many recent US presidents have been members.
Their plans are well laid out, just nobody bothers reading them.
The Father of Our Country was a Freemason as were many of his contemporaries.
Yes, thus “The Apotheosis of Washington” in the dome of the Capitol. They explain it:
https://freemasonscommunity.life/masonic-symbolism-u-s-capitol/
“The billionaires in finance and tech are set; their influence operation only varies slightly depending on the challenge because they know they can purchase every horse in the race, and they are working earnestly though various iterations of the same owner playbook, with the end goal the same – control.
Just reject it.”
Not a problem for me because I’ve reached a point in my 78 years spinning on this little planet where I reject everything!
Yep, everything I read, or see, or hear from anyone I can’t reach out and touch…I just close the door in all their faces!
Then, if I think what I’m hearing is important enough, I crack the door…just a little, enough to look at his or her face.
And that tells me a lot! It’s kind of a Ralph Waldo Emerson thing!
I’m the last person who’d ever read an op-ed by Tilly Norwood in the Sea Island Newsletter!
But I was one of the first to believe in MAGA…and I’m still whole hog on that!
Ask me why and I’ll say, ‘Who wants to know?’
A lot of of us are getting to that age where “life in prison” means little….
I’m there. At least I wouldn’t have to replace my kitchen range, my microwave and my recliner all in the same week!
“Just reject it.”
agreed. can you describe more specifically what steps you would recommend by rejecting?
for example, if we have deep moral disagreements with israel policy being enacted, should we stand down and be silent about it? in the interest of ensuring more GOP majorities, should we vote for candidates such as Lindsey Graham, currently endorsed by Trump?
Just think for yourself, is the whole point Sundance is making. Reject the demand to be perpetually Afraid or Outraged at the shiny object.
And for the sake of Christ stop marinating in paid-influencer-podcasts whose sole purpose is to keep the masses stirred up fighting everything except The UniParty™️ Vulture, while blaming it all on President Trump, and by extension MAGA.
Excellent advice, Alleycats.
Excellent piece. There is no finer political analysis anywhere. The Treehouse is where the smoke is blown away for a clear picture of who we are up against.
Pulling up to 30,000 feet, I’ve been on the trail of the major epochal change points. The world going insane in 1910, the end of the New World Order in 1989, the social transformation that began in 2007. Largely, if not completely, technology driven, it appears we are entering another epochal change point. Cars, digitization, iphone, and now AI.
In the end, though, it always comes back to John 14:6: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Any who cannot affirm it, is no friend of America or America First. It is the litmus test, the pass phrase, our shibboleth.
Amen – it’s the only thing that matters.
….meanwhile we are witnessing the hostile takeover of the Democrat party by DSA and fanatical radical Islam.
The next 2 election cycles will be interesting, very interesting indeed!
The DSA took over the Democrat party years ago. What we are witnessing is the alliance between the DSA and fanatical radical Islam being made public.
The DSA types I follow all say the Democrat party is just the uni-party. They see Mandami as a direct attack on the Dems and are expecting a major counter-attack. They are watching Hochul very closely to see which way she falls. These folks also have about zero interest in Islam, radical or otherwise. It’s all about economics for them, mostly wealth inequality and the oligarchs. In that sense they align with the anti-tech anti-Sea Island sentiment here and see MAGA as a potential source of populist fellow-travelers.
JD Vance, Tucker–Fuentes Fallout, and Fixing the Right’s Faction Fight — Rufo Weighs In
(7:22 mins)
Just waiting for Meatball to start his Fox Interviews…almost time.
In American politics, those with greater financial resources often gain significant advantages in elections and policy influence, though money does not guarantee victory in every race. Research indicates that the highest-spending candidate wins approximately 90% of U.S. House races and 80% of Senate contests.
<“the highest-spending candidate wins approximately 90% of U.S. House races and 80% of Senate contests.”
Sure but you have cause/effect problem. Money flows to the presumed winner.
Outstanding. It seems our fearless host has answered the right ******* questions.
Impressive analysis outlining the Gen Z sentiment – didn’t think Sundance was familiar with this group.
Indeed, Israel is the primary enemy of Gen Z and so anyone who sides with them is also hated – including Trump. Candace is going against Trump now but Ian Carrol has one foot in still. Nick is pro Trump most of the time and will likely be the new heir apparent to Charlie’s movement as tpusa is considered completely infiltrated by Israel.
I used to think Candace was simply in it for the clicks – her ideology swaying with whatever controversy she could make out of current events. I no longer think that’s the case, she seems to be joining Ian and Nick as AJ’s replacements in controlled opposition.
I also think Tucker should be on that list too but I’m holding out hope that he might be his own owner (which is wishful thinking when we know his dad was cia).
Let’s not forget that despite these influencers effectiveness at corralling the right, almost all of our political problems of bought and paid for politicians could be remedied by simply ending Citizens United.
No one ever talks about that though.
His dad was not CIA. And even if his dad was CIA, since when do we hold children responsible for the actions of their parents?
So Peter Thiel and Trump are no longer friends? Did I miss something, or is this new?
I pay absolutely no attention to any of the podcasters mentioned above.
I do not follow all the foreign influence wrangling I just want President Trump to do the best he can for the United States, its citizens and our security. If he has to throw an elbow or two, so be it. Maybe it will all work out well and he can get back to domestic affairs. That is what will determine how 2026 and 2028 go.
I refuse to take my eyes off the litigation ball that involves the Clapper, Brennan et al situation. All the way back to W and his first term. If we do not burn the three letters to the ground and salt the earth we will never have a chance to control the second front of the war, AI / digital Marxism.
The horse racing analogy is a really good one. It has more hoof than one might think.
The Sea Island bunch and the other high profile stakes holders, I think they have owners to. There is a club above the club. People who’s fortunes and foothold go back a fair spell.
They hide in plain sight, yet one never really pays attention to them and thankful they are for that.
Which candidate will be the best at faking the Trump approach to foreign and domestic policy? Which can trick the MAGA voter the best?
Since Vance, Rubio, and DeSantis have no earthly idea why Trump does what he does all they can do is fake it. Faking it can only lead to disaster.
Could you imagine anyone but Trump calling out the National Guard? They would be immediately crushed by Congress, the Courts, the media, etc.
Post-Trump is my biggest concern.
Me too. He is a one of a kind.
I think the bruised and battered, i.e. “well seasoned” MAGA supporter can see through the sea island crowd and their horses.
What I see splitting MAGA more are some of Trump’s recent moves like:
The 50-year mortgage
Health care premiums that are sky rocketing
Trump lowering the costs of dangerous weight loss drugs, (yes, we know this takes away from Pharma’s profits but at the expense of peoples’ lives?)
15 year car loans driving the people into more debt while making the greedy bankers even richer
Fannie Mae dropping its credit score minimum
MORE H1B visas
Allowing 600,000 Chinese students in to attend colleges and universities, “or else they might fold” when all they do is turn out Marxists, so let them fold, and the Chinese are only forced here by their government to spy on us, with Trump saying “I know what MAGA wants better than anyone else.”
THIS is what’s splitting MAGA!! I see it all over social media. So many MAGA patriots now think Trump has lost his mind as I try to hope this is some type of chess move I’ve never heard of.
SD, I appreciate all your insights on everything, including the sea island crowd, but if you could put out an article addressing MAGA’s above concerns and point them to your thoughts on the ‘method of this madness,’ in order to quell the ‘Trump has lost his mind,’ crowd which keeps growing, I’m sure there are a ton of people I know that would be appreciative.
I don’t think any of those things are splitting MAGA. There is discussion around it for sure.
Also, Trump didn’t increase H1b. That number is set by congress. What he did do through executive order is likely actually restricted that number due his hefty $100,000 fee.
Agree with you, but how they do it is at the polls. The GOP puts in splitters and fake or loser candidates.
It is the same trick, works most of the time. Don’t underestimate the GOP’s skill in snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Israel is NOT your enemy.
THESE COUNTRIES ARE
THE UK–
1.Starmers Labour Campaigners sent to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala
2.See below
3.BBC splicing PDJT’s speech

KEIR STARMER SUSPENDS INTELLIGENCE SHARING WITH USA BECAUSE TRUMP IS DEFENDING THEIR BORDERS Trump has ordered targeting of boats carrying illegals and drugs across the US border

One thing that has been utterly bizarre over the past year is watching the desperate attempts to smear Tucker Carlson. It reminds me a lot of Leftist cancel tactics where, suddenly, we’re all expected to believe overnight that Tucker Carlson is now literally Hitler. It’s all so phony and the new script doesn’t even make narrative sense. Tucker is Hitler, but still getting invites to the White House and Turning Point events? Am I also expected to believe that President Trump is either too stupid or a Nazi to be aware that he invited Literally Hitler Tucker into the White House? Do the script writers and their puppets on social media not realize how insulting this “Hitler Tucker” narrative is to both Trump and the general public? Or maybe they do realize and don’t care because they are that desperate.
I see JDV as polite MAGA (he can’t say anything that would undercut his leader) and Rubio as neo-con pretending MAGA (polite to the Boss but taking a wrecking ball to the rest of the world except Zion Nation). Might be time to get a new National Security Advisor seated.
