This should be embarrassing, even for a seriously self-centered politician so filled with hubris and visions of grandeur that he cannot see anything except his own magnanimity.  Alas, for the Narcissus Top Gov and the branding organization behind him, no scale of hubris exclaimed is excessive enough.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was in Israel Thursday, doing the obligatory indulgency tour all Republican presidential candidates must undertake before they officially announce.  During his pre-planned events, DeSantis took credit for moving the U.S-Israel embassy to Jerusalem.

[…] DeSantis presented the Trump administration’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem as his own achievement, saying he worked to “cajole” the former president to make the move. He didn’t mention former President Trump by name. (link)

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had no independent source of wealth, prior to this 2024 endeavor and collaborative operation.  Together with the multinational financing operation around him, in combination with the Murdoch book deal and advance payment, the $300k Governor is now worth millions.  Funny how that happens.  It’s no wonder Casey is tiara shopping while Florida residents are crushed by skyrocketing housing, insurance, taxes, energy and other unavoidable costs of living.

If you are deep in the political research weeds about the weaponization of government, there is a letter from lawyers representing President Trump to the chair of the House Intel Committee that is very interesting [pdf available here].

The letter is written to HPSCI Chair Mike Turner and copied to the other seven members of the gang-of-eight in the Senate and House.  The letter outlines the details of the documents that became the contested issue between the DOJ-National Security Division (‘NSD’, important distinction), specifically a DOJ-NSD official named Jay Bratt, and the attorney for President Trump, Mr. Evan Corcoran.

The letter is fascinating because it outlines how the process of moving documents from the White House was weaponized by a politically motivated National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”), and the letter also gives fulsome context to the types of “classified materials” that have been insanely over emphasized by media.

[…] “Tim Parlatore and Jim Trusty, two of the undersigned counsel for President Trump, reviewed all 15 boxes at NARA earlier this year and based on that review, it is clear to us what happened. The boxes contain all manner of documents from the White House, are loosely grouped by date, and include newspapers, magazines, notes, letters, and daily schedules. Following its review of the materials, NARA inserted placeholder pages where it had removed documents with classification markings. That allowed Messrs. Parlatore and Trusty to discern what the documents were, as well as what other materials in the boxes were in the proximity of the marked documents when the White House staff packed them. The vast majority of the placeholder inserts refer to briefings for phone calls with foreign leaders that were located near the schedule for those calls.”  (page 3, pdf link)

Additionally, get this part…  despite the standard process that has been in place for the prior four administrations, the NARA refused to participate in the collection of any documents from the White House during the transition phase following the November 2020 election.

The NARA refused to assist in the collection of the Trump records for national archive holding and review, and then the NARA triggered a sequence of events that led to the DOJ using a reference from the NARA, to weaponize a process they refused to engage in.  The NARA refused to do their specialized bureaucratic job, and then the NARA used what they defined as an incomplete job as a reason to refer the outcome to the DOJ.   The details are quite interesting.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) released their first quarter estimate of economic growth [DATA HERE] and the result of 1.1% growth shows how the U.S. economy has become dependent on government spending money we don’t have. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) calculation is a valuation of all goods and services created within the U.S. economy, minus the value of goods and services imported.

Keep in mind that all calculations are in dollar terms. Personal consumption expenditure (PCE) prices increased 4.2% in the first quarter after increasing 3.7% in the fourth quarter. Excluding food and energy, the PCE “core” price index increased 4.9% after increasing 4.4%.   Two-thirds of the increased spending on goods was driven by higher prices, only one third by consumers purchasing more stuff.

Looking at Table 2 (the percentage change by sector) the increase in prices provided 2.48% lift to the GDP but the actual purchasing of goods only delivered 1.45%.  Meanwhile the decline in inventories subtracted 2.26% from the GDP, a major factor, and domestic investment has dropped subtracting 2.34%.

Government expenditures (+0.81) drove more than 70% of the total GDP growth as national defense spending (Ukraine War) was a major federal component.  The local and state government spending increase was driven by higher wage rates.   Don’t forget there’s $2.2 trillion in Inflation Reduction Act (Green New Deal) spending that is also within the economy.

Overall, this is a dark picture.  Inflation is still raging. Inventories are dropping as consumer purchasing is squeezed, and replacements goods are not being manufactured. Companies are tightening their belts.  The federal government is spending to try and assist the economy, but the private sector is contracting economic activity.

As expected, the Florida Senate has passed the Ron DeSantis is a liar law, permitting the Florida Governor to run without resigning, by a vote of 28-12.

The previously created Ron DeSantis media group, Florida’s Voice, celebrates the news:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (FLV) – The Florida Senate approved an election overhaul bill Wednesday 28-12, which included a clarification to the “resign-to-run” law. The change would exempt officeholders seeking the position of U.S. president or vice president from the state’s “resign-to-run” law. (read more)

Florida’s Voice was proactively created and funded by billionaire donors, during their prior planning phase.  The Florida media outlet was created at the same time the ‘social media influencer’ program was put into the DeSantis plan.  This is all part of one very long continuum over multiple years.  The people who put the plan together simply followed the advice of Johnathan Gruber and “relied upon the stupidity of the Florida voter” not to notice it.

Meanwhile, NBC is breaking exclusive news the Ron DeSantis team plan to launch the official announcement mid-May.  Several weeks ago, after one of the official campaign contractors was hired, CTH shared what NBC is now confirming.

Using his Twitter platform account, at 8:00pm tonight, Tucker Carlson sends a brief message, his first direct broadcast since the removal of his voice from Fox News.

Within the message you will note some common themes to our discussion of these events.  (1) Both parties in Washington DC are participating in the fraud and pretending, the UniParty is very real.  (2) The people in control of the communication apparatus “are afraid; they’ve given up persuasion, they are resorting to force.” And perhaps the most important message of all (3) “When honest people say what’s true … they become powerful. At the same time the liars that have been trying to silence them, shrink, they become weaker.  That’s the iron-law of the universe true things prevail.”   WATCH:

None of these things will come as a surprise to readers here.  Indeed, we have talked about them frequently.  There is no reason to give the manipulators any power over your peace of mind.  Stay connected to the truth in things and accept things as they are, not as we would wish them to be.

There is great freedom in speaking the truth of the thing.  The natural laws cannot be defeated by the schemes of men…. The Truth Has No Agenda and is very easy to notice. Thus, the final and larger point, trust your instincts.  You know the truth of the thing when you see, hear and feel it.  At this moment, 13.6 million people have watched this brief Tucker Carlson video on Twitter.  😁

It is challenging for most of us who have done deep research in the business of human trafficking and smuggling, a process supported by both Democrats and Republicans in DC, to hear them claim they were not aware of the issue until recently.  CTH Archive Here and TLDR; version HERE.

According to testimony as delivered today, 85,000 illegal alien children, who were trafficked across the southern U.S. border and sold into slavery and the sex trade, are missing.  The number is considerably higher than that, but the congressional record will exist with that number today. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

Earlier GM cut 5,000 salaried workers and several hundred hourly jobs. Ford previously announced it would cut a total of 3,000 salaried and contract jobs, mostly in North America and India.  Now, today, Chrysler parent company Stellantis announces 3,500 auto sector job cuts.

Stellantis owns the Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge and Fiat brands. Apparently, there is something in the U.S. economy that’s happening despite the great pretending….

Biden in Michigan, speaking to auto-workers, 2020

WASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) – Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV (STLAM.MI) wants to cut approximately 3,500 hourly U.S. jobs and is offering voluntary exit packages, according to a United Auto Workers union letter made public Tuesday.

The automaker is looking to reduce its hourly workforce offering incentive packages that include $50,000 payments for workers hired before 2007, UAW Local 1264 said in a letter dated Monday posted on its Facebook page.

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel, appears with freshly enhanced duck lips on Fox News this morning to unveil the secret weapon the RNC has been constructing to defeat the national ballot harvesting efforts of the DNC.

A new Fact Checking website that will solve all the RNC challenges for 2024. Seriously…. THIS is what they have put money, time and effort into, and Ronna is so proud.  WATCH:

The DNC is ideologically motivated.  The RNC is financially motivated.  The DNC uses money to get power, the RNC uses power to get money.  The ideology of the DNC drives their donor activity, while the donor activity of the RNC drives their political ideology.   This is the primary difference between the two corporations.

Everything the RNC does, and that includes everything within the apparatus of the professional Republican establishment, is created to facilitate access to the maximum amount of money possible.  The RNC doesn’t have ideological goals or objectives – their quest, and the objective of the donors who control it, is the assembly of money.

From that position, everything else takes on a dimension of clarity.   The multinational corporations who weaponize the Republican political apparatus, do so in the quest for coin, bigger and bigger vaults of wealth.   Because the goal of money drives their ideology, the RNC carries no social, economic, or cultural platform that is not in alignment with the assembly of finance, and they don’t care about ballot collection/harvesting.

Any questions?

A lot of people are talking about this prior interview which provides some insight into the world of Tucker Carlson against the backdrop of current activity.  The content of the interview aligns with the perspective CTH previously shared {Go Deep}.

A little more than a month ago, Tucker appeared with the Nelk boys for their Full Send Podcast.  The part that is viral today starts at 01:20:50 of the video, toward the end of the interview when Tucker is discussing his evolution of opinion toward media, but the entire interview is interesting and very insightful.  If you have the time to watch the full interview it is worth the time.  If not, skip to the 01:20:50 part and catch the media perspective aspect.  WATCH:

The multinational media club are going full bore against Tucker Carlson right now, including the orchestrated efforts by all of Rupert Murdoch’s controlled outlets.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.  The media need to control the narrative around Tucker Carlson is from that same context; they fear him.

Today, 24 hours after Susan Rice ran quickly from the White house, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris officially announced their intention to seek reelection.

The slogan for the campaign is “Let’s Finish the Job,” oddly admitting the collapse of the American middle-class is the goal for 2024.  Everything Biden touches ends up making a total mess for the American people. Then again, this is by design.  Every policy from his administration delivers on the goal of destruction and fundamental change.

The production team behind the false premise that Biden represents, produced a video [SEE HERE] to celebrate the occasion.  However, the rebel alliance produced a more brutally honest video to mark this date in opposition {Direct Rumble Link}. WATCH:
