Today, Hunter Biden’s friend and business partner Devon Archer testified in a closed session before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

At the conclusion of the testimony, the House committee released the following statement. Hopefully a transcription of the testimony will soon follow.

WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued the following statement following Devon Archer’s four-hour transcribed interview with the committee:

“Devon Archer’s testimony today confirms Joe Biden lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved. Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ that his son sold around the world to enrich the Biden family. When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times. When Burisma’s owner was facing pressure from the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, Archer testified that Burisma executives asked Hunter to ‘call D.C.’ after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai.

New York Representative Daniel Goldman, a former DOJ official and member of the Robert Mueller team, has a very specific role to play with his political assignments.

In these brief soundbite segments below, Goldman spins the intent of Hunter Biden calling his father during business meetings with various foreign business officials was just to discuss the weather on behalf of the participants.

This is how far the left-wing is willing to go out on this.  Think about the intellectual dissonance here as the narrative is produced.  Goldman would have the American people believe that Hunter Biden is having meetings with various Ukraine, Romanian and Chinese business officials, and suddenly as the issues of the executives were being outlined and discussed, Hunter would just call Joe Biden in the middle of those conversations to inquire about the weather.  WATCH:

The narrative engineers are really struggling with this one, even the Lawfare experts are having a difficult time. Perhaps this transcript will be interesting. More below:

It may be entirely possible in Illinois now for a police officer to demand to see your papers for identity compliance even though that police officer may be an illegal alien who broke U.S. law to enter the United States.

Under a bill recently signed by Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, illegal aliens can now become police officers. The downstream ramifications of this effort are not difficult to imagine.

As if the crisis of confidence in the U.S. legal and law enforcement system was not under enough pressure, the reality of lawbreaking foreign nationals and border crossers now controlling law enforcement is a rather remarkable escalation in social fracture.

NewsWeek – […] The measure—House Bill 3751—successfully passed the Democratic-controlled state House and the state Senate before being signed into law by the Democratic governor last week. The bill, which will come into force on January 1, 2024, allows eligible immigrants who are not in possession of U.S. citizenship to join law enforcement in Illinois—something that federal laws currently forbid.

[…] Eligible non-U.S. citizens are subject “to all requirements and limitations, other than citizenship, to which other applicants are subject,” and must be able to obtain, carry, purchase, or otherwise possess a firearm under federal law.

Nothing highlights a guilty intent quite like Main Justice backtracking to tell the judge their prior request was really, double dog swear, not intended to intimidate a congressional witness just a few hours before the testimony. [SOURCE]

But seriously….  We all know what this is.  The weaponization of the DOJ is the #1 topic of national discussion; even when they pretend not to notice the weaponization of the justice system is the #1 topic of national discussion.

Main Justice, a network of affiliated Lawfare minds, runs in an echo-chamber of ideological group think.  There’s no one in the room to say, ‘hey guys, um, hold up – this looks like weaponization, targeting and witness intimidation‘, because they really are weaponizing, targeting and intimidating witnesses.

Then suddenly when the world says, ‘damn, do you see this example’?  Suddenly, the corrupt frenzy boil slows to a simmer and the ‘whoops they can see us‘ backtracking begins.

There’s a great inside baseball discussion linked and embedded down below talking about Georgia Republican Politics.  However, before getting to that video some background context is needed.

There are states where the professional [GOPe] republican grip is tight, and there are states where the MAGA insurgency has gained strength loosening that corporate club grip.  Georgia is a state where the party apparatus is gripping the reins tight and not willing to let the populist movement impede their professional political stranglehold.

Governor Brian Kemp is to Georgia in 2024 as Govenor Haley Barbour was to Mississippi previously.  Kemp controls the party machinery and Kemp has always despised the popular support for Donald Trump, an unacceptable republican in the eyes of the party apparatus.  It is not coincidental that Sea Island Georgia is the epicenter of the Wall Street assembly against the populist insurgency.  Georgia is a battleground state for Republican power and control.

Before going further, watch this 20 second clip of MeAgain Kelly interviewing Ron DeSantis recently.  Notice the mindset, the point of reference for DeSantis, when Kelly pokes him about his distant polling to President Trump.  Notice the state he references {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

I’m not going to repeat the examples of the Sea Island reference points, the Mike Pence rally to support Kemp, George W Bush rallying support for Kemp, the intentional non requests for Trump ’22 campaigning, True the Vote’s Catherine Englebrecht documenting the systemic vote system corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp and his entire administration, or the MSM push to use Kemp as an example of a Trump slayer.

Additionally, you guys already know the background of Georgia grassroots activists booing Kemp at the state convention, and the recent issue of Brian Kemp adviser Cody Hall joining team DeSantis while remaining a Kemp advisor.

Instead, this recent discussion which outlined details of “Closed-door Meetings Held Between DeSantis, Georgia Leadership and Kemp Immediately Following Legislative Session” warrants some attention.

On the eve of very high-profile House committee testimony by Hunter Biden’s business associate, Devon Archer, mysteriously the DOJ from the Southern District of New York asks Judge Ronnie Abrams to schedule a date for Archer to report to prison in an unrelated case.  If the SDNY was attempting to threaten or intimidate Archer in advance of his testimony, this is the path they would take. {Direct Rumble Link}

As noted by Politico, “The court isn’t expected to make a decision before Archer will meet behind closed doors with the House Oversight Committee, meaning that even if the court ultimately sides with the request Archer wouldn’t have to report to prison before the meeting. And his attorney said in a statement that he will move forward with his planned appearance Monday.”  However, the timing of the letter on the weekend before the testimony looks transparently motivated.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer discussed with Maria Bartiromo earlier today.  WATCH:

“I don’t know if this is a coincidence, Maria, or if this is another example of the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But I can tell you this, the lengths to which the Biden legal team has gone to try to intimidate our witnesses, to coordinate with the Department of Justice, and to certainly coordinate with the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, to encourage people not to cooperate with our investigation, to encourage banks not to turn over bank records, to encourage Treasury not to let have access to those suspicious activity reports, It’s very troubling. I believe that this is another violation of the law. This is obstruction of justice.”  ~ James Comer

The multilateral trade agreement known as the Transpacific Partnership (TPP), is a massive pacific rim trade agreement favored by Wall Street, the US Chamber of Commerce, Club for Growth, Ron DeSantis (voted to approve) and now candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.

President Trump famously took the U.S. out of the TPP agreement around the same time he took us out of the Paris Climate Agreement.  As noted by President Trump and his economic team at the time, Free Trade Agreements (FTA’s) are beneficial to the USA when they are bilateral between the U.S. and another singular nation.  Multinational trade agreements end up serving the interests of the least common denominator nation and are detrimental in their finished outcome to U.S. consumers.

Wall Street loves multinational trade agreements because they provide greater flexibility for the profit opportunities of global corporations, multinational corporations and banks.  However, Main Street USA suffers from lost manufacturing jobs, lowered overall wages, and cheap imported durable goods that are an outcome of the lowest cost manufacturing priority.

During a Twitter spaces discussion yesterday presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he was in favor of reengaging the U.S. in the TPP trade agreement.  This is a non-starter for any America First economic platform.

“I think we should re-enter it,” Ramaswamy said to Musk about 94 minutes into the conversation on Twitter. “I think this is a little bit different than what, you know, the course of action taken by Trump in exiting the TPP [Trans-Pacific Partnership]. I think that was actually a poor decision.” (link)

This should be a disqualifying position for any consideration in the Trump administration.

When the warnings were first issued about the California effort, the professional Republican class claimed the effort to undermine the Trump primary race was a vast MAGA conspiracy. However, those who have walked the deep political weeds have known how the state affiliates of the RNC always align to the larger corporate agenda.

According to CBS, the Republican Party in Massachusetts is now proposing a similar change to their distribution of delegates in the 2024 primary election in order to help support the non-Trump corporate approved candidate, likely Ron DeSantis.

Before getting to the CBS report, it is worthwhile remembering none of this is without precedent. Factually, when the RNC -a private corporation- first constructed the roadmap for Jeb Bush at their winter meeting (December 2014), the state of Florida was the key. Prior to the Trump entry, Florida changed their primary date for 2016 and aligned to deliver a winner take all distribution as part of the Jeb roadmap. Marco Rubio was designed to deliver an endorsement and then skyrocket Jeb through the remaining states.

The people who organize and control the RNC Club never forgave Donald Trump for upsetting their 2016 “illusion of choice” system. Everything thereafter has been a Big Club operation to counterattack that takeover. What we witnessed in the past seven years and what we witness today, all stems from that initial thundershock.

MASSACHUSSETTS – For many years, the Massachusetts Republican presidential primary has been a winner-take-all affair. But that might be about to change.

In an interview Wednesday morning with WBZ-TV, state GOP Chair Amy Carnevale disclosed that the party is “seriously considering” a switch to proportional allocation of delegates. A party subcommittee has met to discuss the change once and may approve it at a forthcoming session.

I saw this interview surface and just the headline was enough to pique my interest; so, I watched it, and I’m glad I did.

The interview between James O’Keefe and Robert Kennedy Jr is very interesting {Direct Rumble Link Here}. O’Keefe is a good interviewer, with questions that are not ordinarily asked and generates a depth in response not often seen. The interview highlights the perspective of Robert Kennedy Jr as the candidate looks at the total administrative state now assembled in the U.S. government.

I don’t want to lead viewers/readers too much, because the times we are living in require an investment of self in order to evaluate information. However, what RFK Jr says toward the end of the interview, about his ability to win the election is very interesting. The interview is 48 minutes, and it held my interest the entire time.

Quizzically, RFK Jr doesn’t touch on Joe Biden as a political opponent. Kennedy doesn’t mention Biden, nor does he mention the Democrat nomination. Instead, Kennedy jumps immediately to the general election and frames his ability to defeat Donald Trump.

There’s something revelatory about the psyche of a person when asked a question in a comfortable environment and how they respond. I’m not exactly sure what is driving RFK Jr here, but what I can say with some confidence is that he sees the Trump movement as the tribe he can influence.

WATCH and let me know your thoughts.

FYI – I have this weird little glitch in my brain that triggers any time I find myself nodding in agreement.  A brain itch that reminds me to stop, hang on a second, pull back and ask myself: is the person constructing the discussion points to purposefully create my agreement.  I have found in life when that happens, it is best to go quiet, get small and withdraw – then look for context and evaluate carefully.
