The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) created the systems that permit intelligence weaponization.  The SSCI is the organizational institution that supports the Fourth Branch of Government, the intelligence branch.  Keep in mind, the SSCI previously created a bipartisan “Restrict Act,” to deal with what they deemed dangerous information on the internet (under auspices of TikTok ban).  SSCI Chairman Mark Warner is the current enabler of the continued weaponized intel operations.

In this video segment below, notice how Chairman Warner leads off his remarks.  Two flares triggered.  First, you can tell by his response, that President Trump’s “classified documents” were exactly what we thought they were; evidence against those who constructed the Trump-Russia claims from inside govt.  Second, notice how Warner now wants to block any President from controlling intelligence as defined by the Fourth Branch.  This stuff is getting brutally obvious.  WATCH:

“I’ve got bipartisan legislation that would reform the whole classification process. We way overclassify. We, frankly, should have a process in place so that no president or vice president ever takes documents after they leave office.” 👀

MARGARET BRENNAN: We turn now to Virginia Democrat Mark Warner. He is the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Great to have you here.

REP. MARK WARNER (D-VA): Thank you, Margaret.

MARGARET BRENNAN: I have to pick up where your Republican colleague just left off. Are the Trump and Biden classified documents that were in their personal possession, and not in controlled areas, equally egregious?

MARK WARNER: Well, Margaret, three things quickly. One, the administration took way too long to get us these documents. Two, while Mike and I have a great working relationship, I believe, based on the documents I’ve seen, that there is a difference in terms of the potential abuse that came from the Trump documents. And, third, it’s one of the reasons why I’ve got bipartisan legislation that would reform the whole classification process. We way overclassify. We, frankly, should have a process in place so that no president or vice president ever takes documents after they leave office. That is kind of the lowest common fruit.

MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.

Do not let it escape your notice that not a single professional Republican entity has stood up to show their support for Texas AG Ken Paxton or congratulate him on the clear and decisive impeachment victory against the corrupt UniParty system in the Lone Star state.  Not a word from The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), or any other professional Republican group.

Instead, only President Donald Trump and the overwhelming majority of the MAGA base have stood strong with Paxton – before, during and after the smear campaign to remove him.  Keep this BIG UGLY data point in mind. On the federal side, with Obama-Biden flooding the border with illegal aliens, Ken Paxton was considered a threat from both the White House and the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott.

This weekend, Ken Paxton’s awesome attorney, Tony Buzbee, appeared for a Fox News interview, after the impeachment trial, to discuss the background motives and issues that led to the ridiculous effort. WATCH:

Bring on the reckoning!

I’m going to build out on this in the next several days and weeks.  The reason is simple, this is the cornerstone of DC Business; it has nothing to do with legislation, lawmaking, or the other reference points we retain in the illusion of modern politics.  It’s going to get ugly!

CTH often describes the background DC motives with the phrase: “There are Trillions at Stake.”  Here we take a look at what that really means, and how DC politics is not quite based on the ideas that frame many reference points.

With people taking notice of DC politics for the first time, and with people not as familiar with the purpose of DC politics, we end up within two different references. Perhaps it is valuable to reset the larger frames of reference and provide clarity.

I’ve been talking about this for well over a decade, and we have had this conversation on these pages for just as long. However, in this video Bill Gurley brings some modern receipts. WATCH: 

Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past.  There is not a single person in Congress writing legislation or laws.

In modern politics, not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.

Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body.

Here’s how it works right now.

There are 12 Democrats and 19 Republicans in the Texas Senate.  The majority of the article votes were 16 to 14 in favor of acquittal [SEE HERE].

As reflected throughout the impeachment trial, the majority of the accusations came from establishment “Bush” Republicans in Texas who hold tenuous power over the state Republican apparatus.  All of the Democrats in the Texas Senate were more than willing to support the backroom Republican effort.  However, attorney Tony Buzbee did a masterful job deconstructing the rumors and innuendo that surrounded the majority of the allegations.

By the end of the two week impeachment trial, the Republicans in Texas were too exposed to maintain their original intent to remove Paxton.  The truth overwhelmed the false GOPe narrative, and that created a problem for the Texas Republicans who are, for all intents and purposes, identical to Texas Democrats. This is one of the reasons why national Democrats are so confident they can turn Texas blue in a short period of time.

Remember, Democrats want power – Republicans want money.  The events in Texas are a case study in this dynamic. Most of the Texas Republicans don’t care what happens ideologically, as long as they can be compensated for allowing the Democrats to dictate the state outcomes of political power.  There is an awakening happening in Texas amid the base voters who continue to elect professional Republicans; however, it is unknown whether the uniparty dynamic has become too systemic to change.

Personally, after visiting several areas of Texas, I do not see much hope for them to remain a reliably red state.  The only thing that might save Texas are the conservative Latinos who don’t want the social issues that accompany Democrat control. The non minority, or white Republican voters in Texas, have been gaslit by the Republican political class (Bush Inc.) for so long, they cannot see what is looming over the horizon.

The truth doesn’t care about your feelings.  What I described is the reality in Texas, and it’s exactly the reason why I continue to warn residents of Florida about following the agenda of the DeSantis tribe.

Ken Paxton was interviewed by Tucker Carlson this week and will broadcast next week.

Earlier today U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed previously hidden court filings revealing the DOJ’s request to silence Donald Trump via a judicial gag order [Read PDF Here].

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is arguing that President Trump is undermining the fairness of the proceedings by pushing back against the narratives and leaks the DOJ is providing to the media.  As noted by Smith, President Trump is “disparaging” and delivering “inflammatory attacks” on prosecutors, witnesses and the judge in the case.

[SOURCE LINK]

I think we all knew this request was eventually going to happen.  The question going forward is whether Judge Chutkan is willing to attempt to block the #1 presidential candidate from speaking, while simultaneously allowing the DOJ/FBI and Jack Smith to leak to the media.

Unfortunately, I think the intent to support the request is exactly why Judge Chutkan unsealed the request.  She is trying to control the blast damage from a decision she fully intends to make.

President Trump responded on Truth Social:

Hallelujah!  Ken Paxton’s defense attorney Tony Buzbee brings the fire today during his closing statement in the insufferable impeachment effort underway in Texas.

Delivering the non-pretending thunder-bombs, Mr. Buzbee laid waste to the manipulative and machiavellian Bush legacy with some resounding truths.  This was awesome.

The full closing remarks are below the fold; but here’s the highlight where Buzbee declares “The Bush era in Texas ends today!”  WATCH:

No matter how much time passes since that day on August 5th, 2015, when it became crystal clear that Megyn Kelly was working with Fox News VP of Political content, Bill Sammon, to construct the targeted hit against Donald Trump, I will not forget it.  Bill Sammon and Rupert Murdoch were working to elevate Marco Rubio.  Sammon’s daughter Brooke, was Rubio’s campaign communications director.   Yet, it is part of Kelly’s current brand to stand back and pearl clutch at journalists with agendas. The sanctimony reeks from her eyes, her face, her wherever.

I will not forget it, because CTH was the only voice calling out two days earlier that it was going to happen.  I will also not forget it, because Megyn Kelly showed the true nature of her character and then later took the $15 million from Rupert Murdoch (book deal) as payment for the hit job.  Unfortunately, people have really short memories – and somehow permit the MeAgain Kellys of the world to pretend they have evolved into a better moral character.  The one positive thought about an otherwise repugnant woman, is that she subjected herself to the COVID vaccine.

That said, here’s President Donald Trump giving her his time and attention.  WATCH:

.Megyn Kelly is joined by former President Donald Trump to talk about the Biden impeachment inquiry, what we’re learning now about the potential for then-VP Biden corruption that Trump tried to bring up at the debate, whether Biden is too old to be president, birthright citizenship and the immigration crisis in America, why he didn’t fire Dr. Fauci, how Biden and DeSantis handled COVID, the success or failure of Operation Warp Speed and COVID vaccines, not getting enough credit for what did during the beginning of the pandemic, his stance on trans rights and how it’s evolved, his friendship with Caitlyn Jenner (and previously Bruce), trans in the military, whether he’d ban puberty blockers for kids, the details of his classified documents case and the Presidential Records Act, why he didn’t turn over documents after the subpoena, Hillary Clinton and the double standard, if he’s angry about the prosecutions, the real story behind the “DeSanctimonious” Ron DeSantis nickname, why he values loyalty above so much else, how Melania and Barron are doing, the personality traits about Melania that the media doesn’t understand, why he’s running for president and facing jail time instead of enjoying retirement, the way this country can come together, that big debate moment between Trump and Megyn, and more.

Despite the best efforts of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, their own pollster Daron Shaw duplicates an identical polling outcome from the most recent three. [Poll Data Here]

President Trump is growing his support base, and Ron DeSantis is losing even more ground.

[Data Source]

It’s important to keep in mind that Fox News has been desperately trying to prop up the campaign of Ron DeSantis, giving him soft interviews and pushing his infomercials every week. Yet even Rupert Murdoch is now having to admit DeSantis just doesn’t have the support of the base Republican voters.

FOX NEWS – Three weeks after the first Republican presidential primary debate, the latest Fox News survey finds Donald Trump has increased both his lead in the race and his strength of support.

Sixty percent of Republican primary voters back Trump in the primary race, up from 53% in the Fox News pre-debate August survey. […] At 13% support, Ron DeSantis sees a downtick of 3 points since the debate, while Vivek Ramaswamy holds steady at 11%. Next is Nikki Haley with 5%, Mike Pence and Tim Scott at 3% each, and Chris Christie at 2%. All remaining candidates receive 1% or less. (more)

BIG SMILE – The RNC is in a very weak position ahead of the September 27th Fox Business News debate at the Reagan Library.  President Trump has already said he will not be in attendance, and the remaining candidates look silly as they prepare for a debate with zero relevance to the voters.

Justice Alito is going to allow the Biden Administration to justify why they should be allowed to control all the content on social media platforms and coordinate with the social media companies to remove opinion & information against their interests.  This should be interesting. 😂🤣😂

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that would place restrictions on the Biden administration’s contact with social media companies.

The brief order issued by conservative Justice Samuel Alito came less than two hours after the Justice Department asked the Supreme Court to step in.

It gives the court more time to consider what next steps to take before deciding whether to grant the administration’s request. In the meantime, the lower court ruling will remain on hold until midnight on Sept. 22.

It’s a Washington Post-Monmouth poll {DATA HERE} of South Carolina.  However, keep in mind that Ron DeSantis has spent a lot of time in the Palmetto State and was very confident of his ability there.

The poll found that 46 percent of potential Republican primary voters in South Carolina support President Trump while the state’s former governor, Nikki Haley, stands in second place at 18 percent. Ten percent support Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and 9 percent back Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. {media report}

The split approach appears to be working. However, the recipient of the split is collapsing.

Abandon hope all ye conniving GOP who choose to challenge MAGA.  We The People are in charge now.  We want a reckoning.

Donald Trump isn’t just our candidate, he’s our murder weapon – and the GOP is our target. We good now?
