The Iowa affiliate of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the organizers of the RNC Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines, thought they would be cute by using a snarky song for the entrance music of President Donald John Trump.

Relax, we got this.  There are more of us than them, and they hate us for it.  Their efforts are laughable and will backfire as base voters are wide-eyed and awake to the Machiavellian constructs the RNC is famous for in their quest to control the illusion of choice.  The RNC is as fake and phony as the astroturf under the feet of their manufactured candidates. Here’s President Trump’s speech.  WATCH:

The professional Republican apparatus is not an ally to the Make America Great Again movement, the America First policies or President Donald Trump.

The professional Republican apparatus, which includes the RNC and Iowa RNC affiliate, are working against the interests of the working class voters; in fact, they hate us.  As a result, it does not come as a surprise to see the RNC operations rolled out in Iowa tonight in both the undermining efforts of the venue and the assistance from former CIA operative, Will Hurd.

On the surface, Will Hurd is claiming to run for the office of the President under a similar platform to allied former congresswoman Liz Cheney. However, the non-pretending version of the effort is for Will Hurd to damage President Trump as much as needed in order to remove the anti-GOPe policies Trump represents.  Hurd is likely not going to make the debate stage, so they need him to do as much damage as he can now.

At the end of Hurd’s remarks, at the Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Dinner in Des Moines, he declared Trump was running for president “to stay out of prison,” rather than to “make America great again.”   The assembled crowd booed him off stage.  WATCH: 

President Trump united the largest minority coalition to support the Republican Party in history.  President Trump won more black, Hispanic and minority voters than any Republican candidate in history.  Yet, Will Hurd has to manufacture lies in order to attack the MAGA movement.

“The reason Donald Trump lost the election in 2020 is he failed to grow the GOP brand in areas like women with a college degree in the suburbs, Black and Brown communities, and people under the age of 35.  One of the things we need in our elected leaders is for them to speak the truth, even if it’s unpopular. Donald Trump is not running for president to make America great again. Donald Trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020. Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison.”

I have calloused hands and never hide my pride in my blue-collar, non-pretending, life.  I can say with certainty, the rustbelt is forever lost to the professional Republican Party. The GOP club, like the DNC club, is dead in the wake of the great MAGA insurgency.  Politicians representing the high-minded and pontificating professional Republican class will never again win an election in the rustbelt.

The collapse of the Republican Party in the rustbelt is entirely due to the professionally Republican politicians aligning with economic policies that destroyed the middle class within the region. This is MAGA country now; a place where pragmatic views and deliberate perspectives drive the outcomes of the voting electorate.  The era of hope and polite requests is over, and the voters are no longer going to put up with bullsh*t.   A recent Ohio poll is a strong indication of this:

[Source Data Here]

The approved and professional Republican Party candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has dropped into single digits in Ohio with less than 9% support.  Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped over DeSantis into first loser status with 12%, far behind the originator of the America First agenda, President Donald Trump with 64%.

♦ SEMI RELATED – Recently, after noting the CEO of Public Square bragging about the appointment of former Senator Kelly Loeffler (GA) to the Board of Directors, I asked the founder Michael Seifert if he knew what appointing the wife of NYSE owner Jeffrey Sprecher to the board indicates when contrast against the Wall Street corporate sellout of the working class PublicSq was promising to support.  Public Square founder Michael Seifert said, he “was not familiar” with the rustbelt.  Absorb that as you will.

I tap my glass loudly with a spoon from the back of the room….

The House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee has a team of lawyers and staff.

Evidence in public shows the sitting president of the United States took payments from foreign business interests in a scheme to use the power of the U.S. government to influence foreign government policy and protect/enhance the business interests of the people who paid him.

To wit…. The Republicans in the House of Representatives have thousands of Joe and Hunter Biden bank records, hundreds of trace records for wire transfer statements and payments, hundreds of reported U.S. Treasury suspicious activity reports, thousands of emails and subpoenaed text messages, audio and video recordings, thousands of photographs, access to the laptop of Hunter Biden and all the content therein, documented witnesses to the activity, testimony under oath corroborating how the Bidens collected tens of millions from foreign nations as unregistered foreign agents which was subsequently laundered through 20 shell companies.

The House committee also has FBI witness reports (FD-1023) from verified and reliable Confidential Human Sources who documented the intent and purpose of the transactions, along with US government attorneys in Philadelphia who investigated and confirmed the substance of the confidential human source allegations therein. Additionally, the Republicans in Congress have sworn affidavits and testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who testified the US attorney in Delaware was working with the U.S. Dept of Justice in Washington DC to bury the results of the investigation.

Lastly, and most recently, the Republicans have a transparently corrupt federal plea agreement rejected as presented by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, because the intent of the construct was to protect the son of the President of the United States from legal exposure within the business that provided the material wealth for himself and the family of the President, providing immunity for their Foreign Agent Registration Act violations…

….And the Republican Speaker of the House is letting the Republican controlled Congress go on vacation for the next two months.

All of this,…. ALL OF THIS…. while the former Republican president and current 2024 election front-runner is being railroaded by the same Dept of Justice the Speaker refuses to confront.

Boiling down the core of what media were focused on today, essentially it looks like this:

(VIA ABC) Trump attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche met with Smith’s team following the receipt of a target letter alerting Trump he is a target of the special counsel’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump’s lawyers were there to make the case for why they believed Trump shouldn’t be indicted. Smith was present for the meeting, sources said. The meeting ended after an hour; sources told ABC News.

President Trump via Truth Social:

The pattern of what appears to be distraction from the DOJ, organized by DAG Lisa Monaco, continues.

Any time there is very bad information in the media cycle, related to the ongoing sunlight upon Joe Biden and his crime family syndicate, the Joe Biden DOJ rolls out an indictment against Donald Trump.

At this point the transparency is so obvious, even Democrats admit it.

Just a small detail, apparently of no consequence for those who seemingly overlook such things; however, NBC is admitting to not only knowing the identity of the DC grand jury, but actually following them around and noting their activity. [SOURCE LINK]

Nothing like a little spotlight pressure to keep all the DC participants on the right path.  Nudge-Nudge, Wink-Wink, Say-no-More.

Worth noting Valerie Jarrett’s daughter, Laura Jarrett, is a member of the NBC surveillance team [link here], reporting her findings to NBC headquarters.

Lest we forget, it was NBC who ended up getting caught for tracking and conducting surveillance on jury members in the Kyle Rittenhouse case [link here], eventually leading to the judge needing to ban them from the courthouse.  Just saying.

UPDATED – To add court transcript for context.

First things first, it’s Politico!  When the Dept of Justice or FBI need to frame a narrative particular to their interests they use Politico and the New York Times. Keep this in mind.  When Main Justice needs to position themselves, they leak to NYT and Politico. All leaks are purposeful.

Politico has received a copy of what is claimed to be the original Hunter Biden plea agreement between the USAO in Delaware and the Biden defense team.  This is the plea agreement that was challenged by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who was concerned the structure of the deal appeared to be creating immunity from prosecution for crimes that might come out of a now admitted, ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden; those crimes may include FARA violations.

[Politico Article Here]
[Plea Agreement and Attachment #1 Here]
[Diversion Agreement and Attachment “A” HERE]

The core issue centers around what appears to be clear coordination between the USAO, likely with the approvals of Main Justice (Monaco, Garland) and the Biden defense team, to structure the wording and placement of legal mechanisms inside the plea agreement to not only excuse the current criminal infractions, but also protect Hunter Biden from future criminal liability.

Essentially, all previous activities by Hunter Biden would be immune from prosecution, up to the date of his signing of the plea agreement.  A blank slate retroactively, with all exposure for criminal conduct removed.   The conduct surrounding the immunity is outlined in “Exhibit 1” and the “Attachment A” which was filed under seal.

When the people of Wyoming removed Liz Cheney and replaced her with Harriet Hageman, it was perhaps one of the best reflections of a damaged, yet standing, constitutional republic.  To say Harriet Hageman represents an upgrade to our congressional representation would be a profound understatement.

This is a lady I would campaign for, volunteer for and fight like hell to keep in office.

During her remarks today Representative Harriet Hageman dropped all pretenses and eloquently called DHS Secretary Mayorkas what he is, “a tyrant.”  Representative Hageman’s perspective on the value, importance and critical protections for the constitutional freedom of speech was eloquently argued, directly to the face of the DHS organization that seeks to define, restrict, censor and control speech.  This is really good.  WATCH:

An Axios article is delivered to present the contrast between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis around small donor contributions to highlight the scale of grassroot support for Trump over DeSantis.   However, there’s a buried lead in there.

According to the article, “82% of the total raised from individual contributions by Trump’s campaign since the start of the year came from small-dollar donors — amounting to more than $44 million, according to FEC data.” A few paragraphs later, “Biden’s re-election campaign raised roughly $10 million during the second quarter from donors giving less than $200.”  Put another way, President Trump has four times as many small donors than Biden.

CTH has previously pointed out the strength of support within the MAGA working and middle class for President Trump.  Indeed, it was when former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus first saw the scale of the Donald Trump campaign data in June 2016, when all professional party opposition to his campaign disappeared. It wasn’t just the amount of money that stunned Chairman Priebus, it was the number of donors. The largest number of donors to a Republican political campaign ever recorded.

The data shows what most people now have started to accept.  The voting base supports Donald Trump (82% small donors, 18% big donors).  The Wall Street and multinational corporations support Ron DeSantis (17% small donors, 83% big donors).

Trump’s Main Street supporters are the inverse of DeSantis’ Wall Street supporters. There’s the distinction.

(more…)

It’s funny in a way, because since mid 2022 CTH has been pointing out the 2021 arrival of registered foreign agent Christina Pushaw in the DeSantis orbit always looked a little, well, ideologically structured.

Someone had to enlist the Ukrainian activist into the DeSantis orbit to become his press secretary.  We wondered if perhaps the similarity between the State Dept World War Reddit fraud and the pretending around the Ron DeSantis 2024 operation was not coincidental.

Regardless of how all of that took place, the reality of Pushaw’s pro-Zelenskyy, pro-Ukraine influence was clearly visible long before the ‘book tour’ pretenses were dropped, and the handlers of Ron DeSantis finally admitted a 2024 nomination effort was underway.

So, here we are.  Now we enter this odd phase where campaign branding and images of the DeSantis brand start to represent the ideology of the brand creators.  After it was revealed that an anti-Trump homophobic and violent video was actually created by the campaign and then delivered to Pushaw’s influence group to push it, the DeSantis campaign removed it.  This was the first effort.

Now comes the second instance.  A DeSantis video showing Nazi symbolism, a Sonnenrad or symbol used by Nazis and still used by white supremacists in the Ukrainian military units, surfaces.

[See screengrab left]

Is this just another random occurrence, or really is it an outcome of the people who Pushaw et al helped assemble in the branding phase?  The former possibility is pretending, the latter probability is the Occam’s razor likelihood.

(Via Axios) – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 campaign fired an aide this week who secretly created and shared a pro-DeSantis video that featured the candidate at the center of a Sonnenrad, an ancient symbol appropriated by the Nazis and still used by some white supremacists.

Driving the news: Nate Hochman, a speechwriter on the DeSantis campaign and a former writer for National Review, created the video on his own and shared it through a pro-DeSantis Twitter account, according to a person familiar with the matter.
