After a resounding victory in Iowa, President Trump flew to New York City at 3:00am to prepare for another court appearance triggered by the Lawfare operations using E Jean Carroll.  Billionaire LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman is funding the lawsuit brought by Carroll, and billionaire Reid Hoffman is also funding Nikki Haley.  It’s easy to see the play happening there.

Following the court appearance created by Reid Hoffman, Donald Trump, the defiant voice of the people, then travels to give a campaign speech ​at the Atkinson Country Club in Atkinson, New Hampshire where he will confront Nikki Haley, another creation of Reid Hoffman.  President Trump is anticipated to speak around 6:30pm ET.

The German farmer protests are strategic.   The reality that food doesn’t originate in a grocery store is an odd concept for many who do not pay attention.  The latest strategic move by the farmers aims to highlight the issue.

With an alliance of truckers supporting the farmers, the German farmers have now begun short-term blockades of warehouse and distribution centers. The farmers are following and disrupting the general supply chain, leading to delivery issues upon the downstream retail stores that carry their products.

GERMANY –  In Germany, farmers block the warehouses of retailers Aldi, Amazon and Lidl. This is reported by the telegram channel “Militarist”.

As the media reported, the president of the Bavarian Farmers’ Association Gunther Felsner said that regional organizations representing the interests of farmers want to enter into dialogue with representatives of the federal government this week. According to the head of the association, if the authorities do not agree to concessions, nationwide protests will continue.

The FRG government should be interested in improving the situation, the lack of dialogue between the Cabinet and farmers harms all participants. This was stated, in turn, to the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.

Recall, despite the budget deficit, the German government ordered for themselves luxury helicopters for 200 million euros, wrote the day before the telegram channel “Bild in Russian”. (read more)

This approach follows the continued use of farm tractors to block major roads and transportation arteries around Germany.   The various cross border and national truckers support the farmers because the overall issues, particularly the diesel prices and taxes therein, are important to the economic livelihood of both.

After visiting all 99 counties in Iowa and failing to win a single one, specifically because he visited all 99 counties in Iowa, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared the dark, unknown and mysterious forces of universe tried to stop him, “threw everything at him,” yet he alone stands victorious.

Yeah, he actually said that.

The DeSantis campaign put most of their resources into Iowa and gained a total of 23,000 votes (roughly 21%), quickly declaring victory in a tenuous 2nd place finish and proclaiming their victory ticket has been punched.  The cognitive disconnect is exceptionally strong; but hey, everyone has a role to play – right?  WATCH:

IOWA – DeSantis took the stage for a few minutes at a campaign party in West Des Moines after he secured second place.

“Because of your support, in spite of all of that they threw at us, everyone against us — we’ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa,” he said.

DeSantis spent millions in the Hawkeye State, visited all 99 counties and cultivated the endorsements of popular Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds. Never Back Down, the super PAC supporting his candidacy, also spent more than nine months building a ground game and appointing 1,600 precinct captains across the state. (MORE)

Following a disappointing 4th place finish in Iowa, presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was suspending his campaign for the presidency and has endorsed President Donald Trump. WATCH:

.

(Des Moines) – “There’s no path for me to be the next president, absent things we don’t want to see happen in this country,” he said in a speech announcing that he was suspending his campaign after coming in 4th place in the Iowa Caucuses.

Ramaswamy said the next president must be an “America First” president. He said he would throw his support behind former President Donald Trump.

As he announced he was ending his bid, Ramaswamy had 8,093 votes, or 7.7%, in the Republican caucuses with 91% of votes reporting. (MORE)

As we will do with each primary contest, this is the dedicated thread to the results from the primary caucus in the state of Iowa today.

Forty delegates are up for grabs. Delegates are distributed ¹proportionately.  Caucusing begins at 8:00pm ET. We can expect results from the first-reporting precinct caucuses around 8:45pm Eastern Time tonight.

There is no Democrat primary caucus in Iowa this year as the DNC changed the primary contest. A few people, me included, have long suspected the DNC primary change was not necessarily about the DNC, but rather a change to provide space for Iowa and New Hampshire Democrat activists to influence the first two republican primaries as a block Trump strategy. We await the data to see what happens.

¹Delegates are proportionally allocated to Presidential contenders based on the statewide vote. Each candidate receives (candidate’s statewide vote) × 40 ÷ (total statewide vote) delegates. Round fractions to the nearest whole number. If there are too few delegates allocated, the candidate nearest the rounding threshold receives the additional delegate. If too many delegates are allocated, the candidate furthest the threshold loses a delegate.

The German farmers are not negotiating with a government who is supposed to represent their interests.  No, the farmers are telling their elected officials what they will accept, and what they will not accept.  And this approach has the German government in fits of apoplexy….  The farmers are revolting.

[Background Here] The second week of massive protests in the streets of Germany has the overwhelming majority of the people in support of the farmers.  However, to show just how large the gap between the people and their government has become, the German officials think a process of negotiating terms is possible.  The farmers are having none of that.

Really, this is awesome to see.  The Dutch farmers are in full support and truckers from around the EU are aligned with the German farmers.  The simple message is “enough is enough” and there are more EU interests that just the German government paying attention.  Keep in mind, the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos began today.

GERMANY – Farmers clogged Berlin streets with their tractors on Monday, honking their horns in protest at a plan to scrap tax breaks on the diesel they use, the climax of a week of protests that has tapped into wider discontent with Germany’s government.

Columns of tractors rolled into the capital ahead of the demonstration at the landmark Brandenburg Gate. Over the past week, farmers have blocked highway entrances and slowed traffic across Germany with their protests, intent on pushing Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government to abandon the planned cuts entirely.

I doubt this guy is going to come in second place, maybe third; yet there’s a possibility he could even drop to a devastating fourth.  The short answer about why is in this closing message.  The Florida governor shows who he is.

Giving his closing message to Iowa voters, Ron DeSantis attacks Donald Trump by saying, “if you kiss the ring, he’ll say you’re wonderful.  You can be the strongest, most dynamic successful Republican and conservative in America, but if you don’t kiss that ring, then he’ll try to trash you.”  This comes after Ron DeSantis was desperate in 2018 and likely to lose the Florida governor race to a drug fueled porn addict, so his team begged Donald Trump for assistance.

American voters are not stupid.  The labeling and attacking do not work when it is full of fraud, sanctimony and hypocrisy.  That said, this is also why DeSantis has very few friends and even fewer endorsements amid those in the Florida delegation who know him best. WATCH:

.

You know what the strange thing is…. I doubt strongly that Ron DeSantis has any idea just how much damage he has done to himself with this campaign.  The echo-chamber around DeSantis is so necessarily isolating, only after he drops out will he personally begin to absorb just how small, pathetic and insignificant he has become.

NBC published an extensive article outlining how the DC administrative state is responding to the potential for another President Trump victory [SEE HERE].

Once again, a very specific name surfaces who is part of the organizational effort to stop Donald Trump.  {EMPHASIS mine}

(NBC) – […]  Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.

Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November. That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.

“We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to,” said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law.

Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said. Some participants are combing through policy papers being crafted for a future conservative administration. They’re also watching the interviews that Trump allies are giving to the press for clues to how a Trump sequel would look. (more)

There she is again, Mary McCord, the former head of the DOJ National Security Division, and the one specific functionary that is found at the epicenter of every single deep state Lawfare operation against President Trump.   However, that citation is not the biggest reveal in the past several days….

The latest CBS polling [SEE HERE] reflects what most people already know, President Trump is the choice of the American middle class.

However, what’s funny about the poll is the narrative that CBS blends into the outline of the result where they ponder why the media effort to promote and support Nikki Haley has not been more effective.  That’s funny stuff, I don’t care who y’are.

CBS – Donald Trump’s support among national Republican primary voters has now risen to its highest level yet. 

His legal issues obviously haven’t hurt his standing with primary voters and some of his recent controversial statements resonate with many GOP and “MAGA” voters.

Republican voters continue to believe Trump is their best bet to beat Joe Biden in November, even as Nikki Haley leads Joe Biden by a wider margin in a general election match-up than either Trump or Ron DeSantis. We show why in this analysis.  (read more)
