I’ll expand on this in a more detailed outline, but generally this is the tldr version of something people keep wondering about.
Back in 2015/2016 The Salem Media Group, like -the whole crew- the Evangelical right per se’, was essentially against Donald Trump a republican candidate. Trump wasn’t religious enough, and Salem was/is VERY pro-Israel. A very strong evangelical tribe.
Salem Media Inc supported Ted Cruz (mostly), they also really liked Scott Walker (and similar). Milquetoast varieties of Republican. You know the sort. {2015 citation}
Breitbart (Robert and Rebekah Mercer) and the strong pro-Israel group (Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, etc.) also supported Ted Cruz (Jeff Roe and company).
Almost no one directly supported Trump. You know that, and you know the outcome of it.
That environment led to tons of eventual jump-overs, including Steve Bannon, Kellyanne Conway, etc. when Trump became the “presumptive” nominee. Hey, they go where the $$ flows. Then Mark Levin followed reluctantly, and eventually the Salem crew bit their tongue, overcame the “grab em by the pussy” nonsense and joined the pragmatic MAGA coalition.
Now, you might also remember the name Brad Parscale, an online tech guy who was datamining Facebook and microtargeting for Trump support. That led to a controversy called “Cambridge Analytica” after the unexpected Trump win and the leftists crying foul about the online support that defeated their aggressive corporate media ploys.
That’s the core. We agree?
Okay. Fast forward. Donald Trump held a loose coalition, which included the Salem tribe (which included a now bigger TPU$A, Charlie Kirk et al) which included the high-horse Evangelicals, only now they were more firm horse riders.
Brad Parscale (pictured right in 2016) was later hired by Salem Media Inc as their strategic operations director (current position).
No longer connected to the Trump team, yet quasi-supporting the objectives of the Trump administration, Mr Brad Parscale takes money from the pro-Israel group, files FARA registration forms and goes back to his tech skillset to shape and influence politics; except now, a decade later, tech micro-targeting is big time algorithmic control systems.
Salem Media Inc. still in alignment with their Evangelical roots, plus a new addition from Trump world (Lara Trump and Don Jr.) each with a foot in the Salem operation, and Brad Parscale promoting the pro-Israel Evangelical mission with unbelievable tools thanks to modern tech, artificial intelligence, datamining and algorithmic data operations on social media platforms.
Then comes billionaires Larry and David Ellison, also very pro-Israel, in combination with Salem Media Inc. operated by Parscale, and the ideological alignment of Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer etc., taking algorithmic AI and Evangelical data targeting to new stratospheric levels.
Which brings us through 2025 and Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu noting in his influencer meetup that the Tik Tok and X platform were the two most important strategic operations of interest, against the warning of diminished GenX support from Charlie Kirk. {Citation and Video}
Subsequently, Larry Ellison (Oracle) takes control of Tik Tok (GenZ), while Elon Musk (free speech) is controlling X.
All of the above come into a deep, collaborative, pro-Israel synergy.
That’s not a conspiracy; it is simply the reality of political targeting and influence in the year 2026.
That’s the current landscape.
That’s what you are witnessing online, perhaps in your data profile, and more than likely in your algorithmically controlled online travels. Your identity as defined by your data and pixels implanted into your profile that can be targeted to feed you specific information and content.
Algorithmic support operations, also using money to shift the visibility of support (or lack therein), is why “X” and other platform content providers, don’t always align with reality you see offline and/or polling that shows consistent support for Donald Trump amid the MAGA base.
The narratives are not organic, often they are divisive. However, most users outside the control system can’t distinguish the content that is being targeted toward them.
I hope that somewhat helps see through the friction.
Most of us have supported Trump throughout his endeavors in office, trusting him to do what needed to be done, and using his best judgement on whatever the issue was while understanding that he has much more information than us. This still applies today.
This doesn’t mean that President Trump can see everything or has immediate reference for everything happening. An example was JD Vance telling the audience today that he had no idea Zelenskyy had threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
The White House is focused on the issues confronting them daily; they have a priority perspective, and they do not see everything. Trust God, and pray for President Trump.
President Trump ‘Doesn’t Notice’ things? Is that a coy term for Plausible Deniability. Like what he has for Turning Point and Erika Kirk. Having her at the White House Easter celebration was like putting a turd in the punchbowl.
Maybe you are the turd in the punchbowl.
No Li is right about Turning Point and EK.
Erica Kirk is great. But maybe Li is right to follow mentally ill conspiracy theorists. It might be entertaining.
Cut Erika Kirk some slack after the horror she and her children just went through!
Are you a Candace Owen fan? She sure seems jealous of Erica Kirk?
You put ‘Doesn’t Notice’ in your post but I can’t find that in the article. It’s pretty easy to search for notice so if you are offering your opinion then fine, but I think most would agree that Trump notices more than most. The evidence of that is RFKJ talking about a conversation with the President on AF1 where Trump flipped over a table mat and drew the middle East with most all of the military bases and countries and explained how it all works. RFKJ was impressed.
Erika Kirk is great. Tucker, Candice, Joe Kent are classless scum for attacking her after her husbands death.
Two days before Charlie was murdered he wrote this in a WhatsApp chat and confirmed by Andrew Kolvet of TPUSA:
“Just lost another huge Jewish donor. $2 million a year because we won’t cancel Tucker. I’m thinking of inviting Candace.”
Charlie was friendly with both Tucker and Candice
Charlie was all about trying to keep a disparate collection of people rowing in the same direction to achieve R wins.
Our political situation does not afford us the luxury of purity tests.
We do not have the numbers to pull that off against the Islamists, commies, greenies, generic libtards and the ever present voter fraud.
Btw, I often heard him rail against Lisa Murkowski but would not against Susan Collins because the likelihood of getting another R in the Collins seat was unlikely.
Challenge low performers in reliable red districts, accept a RINO in blue and purple areas.
How friendly would have Charlie been with the disgusting residua Owens and Carlson IF he had a chance to see how they treated his wife, the mother of his children, the apple of his eye?
Let’s not forget that, while their decay started earlier, since Charlie Kirk, Owens and Carlson have revealed themselves to be the scummiest of the scammers. And that is a fact. Traitors and, as Sundance put it, grifters of the worst kind.
It takes a special kind of fool to look up to such human garbage.
A “friendship” with two people who would cut his throat in a heartbeat. Some friend!
I watched Candace Owen for a while. She lost me when she started the Brigette Macron is a man insanity. Even if Brigette is really Brendon what does it matter? Those photos of Brigette’s full siblings Candace showed as proof Brigette is really her brother. “ Look at the resemblance “ Candace cackled . The kids being full siblings from the same parents all resembled each other.
Then the attacks on Erica Kirk About the only nice things I can say about Candace Owen’s is that she’s very pretty and has four children. Weird that she broadcasts from Tennessee USA and the kids live in England with their father. But his family are billionaires. Maybe she has a private jet to commute back and forth. When husband’s father dies he will be a Lord and she’ll be Lady husband’s last name.
Shabot Shalom. Daddy’s home!
Lol- what a joke!!!
Plus, it was just plain BAD MANNERS! SHOCKING, actually. No class, no respect, no compassion, nothing but ugliness.
You are on the right path. How much does everyone know about Erica Kirk’s history and family tree. If one does do some research she has many skeletons in her closet. Appearance in places that one would cause pause. Tears not ever really seen on her face during her speech at Charlie’s memorial service. Never a hair out of place nor the cosmetics. I question her faithfulness to Charlie and his TPUSA. We all need to do more deep dives behind this woman and her past.
R u saying that Charlie was a dummy and had no discernment or agency?
Apparently. Kinda Like “Trump” who is a VSG but all kinds of people lead him around by the you-know-whats…
EK looks to bring alot of baggage unfortunately. But dont forget that everyone grieves differently.
Mark Levin the “I was there as a founder of the tea party movement”…..smfh…
Right! I do not remember him at all!
Has he taken credit for the 2016 and 2024 wins yet?
That’s me. I no longer listen to Trump speak. I don’t care what he says. I see what he does and know he has the best motives for the American people.
Let Trump be Trump.
Bingo for Moe!
Trump says and does a lot of things to draw response – responses provide information and he uses that information to move the needle.
The so called controversial things he says are not directed to everyone. There is a specific audience in mind when he says these things the media gasp over!
Let it play out is much better position to spectate from on these complicated and historical issues.
It is really not about Trump but how he is being utilized by who is truly in control!!
God’s Will Be Done
Even Sundance will admit his agenda: Truth.
All other talking heads talk like they are the smartest in the room.
I couldn’t be bothered with that crap.
Enemies are allowed and encouraged to exist. Because conflict leads to money and power. I see mention of western civilization and the world wars in this thread. Would western civilization have been better off without those two massive genocidal wars? Could they have been avoided?
Who really wants WWIII and why?
Christ returns at a specific location and in God’s time. But his gate is narrow. NO ONE goes to the father except through the SON.
END
Such a sobering scripture, plus “I never knew you”.
Meanwhile, all across the US the Muslims, the Islamists are literally moving in. Prayer and fasting and more is needed on this front IF this land is not to be taken over by eventual Sharia Law …
Watch Godlogic you tube channel. Holy Week alone three muslims on three separate streams turned away from the religion of hate, pedophilia and rape.
Its seems the god of islam did not foresee the interwebs so he didn’t warn momo.
Thank you for the reference to Godlogic.
Better than fasting & prayer is advocating for laws banning both face and head veils mad mullahs howling and yowling over high decibel sound systems anti pet dog anti pork anti Christianity pro rape of infidel girls and women enforcement of age of consent laws prosecution of Drs
and others who genital mutilate girls ending student visas for Muslim countries and other measures to severely control Muslims. If I were head of the state department. I’d issue warnings about American women boys and girls traveling to Western European countries because of murders slashing sand rapes of tourists in Western European countries especially Britain Scandinavia and German . Where the rape laws have been overthrown if the rapist is African or Muslim and the victim is White.
I fast several days a month to keep my weight about 118 below 120. I don’t believe God cares or that fasting and prayer will do anything to keep the entire USA from turning into Dearborn Michigan or some areas of Texas.
re: “Better than fasting & prayer is …”
Bet not. (You would seem uneducated on the facet of religious life. Maybe you need to do a deep dive on this.)
Did you purposefully skip over the “and more” part? Just wondering here. I hate having to go over old ground again and again. Like debating a 3 yr old …
“Trust God, and pray for President Trump.”
Spot on, Sundance. GBU & GBA – !!!
My opinion here. Focus on the basis of Christ’s teachings – the rest will pan out, stop arguing, who cares when the world needs us to be salt and light.
1) Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind- Believe in what Jesus did – John 3:16-18, Eph by grace …
2) love your neighbor … STOP ARGUING WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS!
2B) turn off social media for a bit and ask the Holy Spirit to lead/guide/ you- See John chapters 14 – 16, focusing on Jesus words – red line. I figured out that the Holy Spirit is the smartest person on this earth. John tells us that Jesus must go (cross, …) so that the Holy Spirit could come and indwell believers. Then John 14:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. John 16:13 tells us that the Holy Spirit will guide us show us things to come. WHEN you hear from GOD, then speak, pray God’s will on earth as it is in heaven.
3) Figure out what God is doing and get behind it (hint, God is using Trump similar to Isaiah 45.)
Rant mode off>
I think this is the biggest problem the country faces. It will be rectified eventually. We are at a time where we are presented information, and have little ability to know if it’s true. Not just AI created videos, but AI spoon-fed information. I wish more people understood this. Everybody thinks they know everything because their news feed, full of people they do not know, told them what they think they know. A good example is the Strait of Hormuz. Is it open? Is it closed? Depends on who you ask. I nor most of you have ever even been there, we know nothing about it, only what we’ve been told by sources that can’t be trusted.
All sources have an agenda. That’s why I come here and eschew all talking heads. Little brother watches Glen Beck all the time. Drives me nuts. You can just feel the agenda from day to day.
I was the GOP Chair of our county during the 2018 midterms, and I worked (volunteered) 16 hour days, 6 days a week for months on end. I did so much work that all the state GOP leaders knew me, and when the time came for them to find volunteers for a special project they contacted me.
President Trump was going to hold a rally in Duluth, Mn and they needed three volunteer drivers to help with his motorcade from the airport to the venue. I was beyond the moon excited with the prospect of finding volunteers.
Looking back I wish I’d taken one of the slots myself, but instead I helped get people inside the venue and on the floor in front of President Trump, which was a blast in itself seeing the faces of people who got up-close and personal to our President that day.
One of the people I asked if they’d like to be a driver in the President’s motorcade was my husband. I didn’t assume anything either way, but he said yes, then spent time on the phone with the Secret Service getting their OK of him.
I say all that because one of the people in the vehicle my husband drove that day was Brad Parscale.
There were many stories my husband told me about how super cool it was to be a driver that day, and one not so nice story about an asshole in the group who did nothing but talk about himself almost the entire time — Brad Parscale.
Brad said President Trump won the election because of him, then filled in all the blank time telling those who were stuck in the vehicle with him how wonderful, smart and clever a boy he was/is.
All these people who take full responsibility for Donald Trump winning 1, 2 or 3 elections are full-o-crap. I didn’t play any of the games those people spewed, and after 3 victories I’m guessing most people didn’t play those games, either.
I am truly impressed by all the goons who constantly claim President Trump won because of them.
With all that “winning” going on, President Trump should be in office for a few more decades.
Ah, what a dream that would be. . .
David Ellison (Larry’s son) just bought the media group that owns CNN and HBO both very pro-Democrat Leftist extreme. This appears to mean both of these outlets will be tilting more center right very soon!
In 2017, Brad Parscale told an interviewer that he knew a week before the November 2016 election that Donald Trump would become president, based on his analysis of the various data sets he had at his disposal.
Data analysis techniques and technology have advanced considerably since then. So this guy Parscale is a valuable commodity to those who have the cash to pay for his considerable data analysis talents.
This is good background perspective from Sundance and IMHO he made a very critical distinction when he wrote
“All of the above come into a deep, collaborative, pro-Israel synergy.
That’s not a conspiracy; it is simply the reality of political targeting and influence in the year 2026.”
From the comments I’m pretty sure that a number of Treepers have missed that point entirely and are in fact heavily influenced by the algorithmic targeting described above. That targeting manifests into what emails, texts, and posts show up in one’s feeds from various online sites as well as which social media accounts are steered into the member’s news and interest feeds.
It’s a huge mistake to assume you are in control of what and whose posts you see when you login to your favorite social media apps. You have to actively unfollow the hardcore pro-Israel, pro-corporate, anti-MAGA media accounts for awhile to affect the algorithms that target your feeds.
At least that’s been my experience. YMMV.
Yes. Amen.
What would be the alternative? The woke globalist agenda ?!
Don’t believe a word in the New York Times. Whatever is written in the BYTimes the opposite is true
I don’t use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, etc. that “feed” me algorithmically curated content. I look for information myself, though I’m still often surprised how ignorant and uninformed the average person is. Stuff that I think is common knowledge is completely unknown to them.
“This doesn’t mean that President Trump can see everything or has immediate reference for everything happening. An example was JD Vance telling the audience today that he had no idea Zelenskyy had threatened Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. ”
Is Vance that dumb or perhaps he did not want to admit he knew this??
On another note, Turning Point lost all credibility by supporting ABBOTT who is destroying Texas with India visa holders and muslim mosques going up everywhere….. absolute evil…..
Remember when Ben Shapiro lied about Michelle Fields being shoved onto the ground by Corey Lewandowski? Daily Wire never apologized to Corey Lewandowski afterwards.
For example, starting at 51 minutes and 52 seconds in this YouTube video, Daily Wire’s Andrew Klavan lies to an audience that Michelle Fields was assaulted and thrown down to the ground by Corey Lewandowski back in March 2016.
Praying…most certainly!
