Tonight, President Trump holds a Town Hall event in La Crosse, Wisconsin, at 7:00pm EDT.

The recent emphasis of the Trump campaign has been to highlight the contrast between candidate Donald Trump willing to appear in every venue to debate the issues and policies of the day, versus the installed Democrat candidate Kamala Harris who needs to hide and remain silent to avoid people seeing her ineptitude.

UPDATE: Video Added

The lawyers representing the campaign of Robert F Kennedy Jr have successfully removed RFK Jr from the ballot in Nevada after coming to an agreement yesterday with DNC lawyers who were suing to keep him off the ballot.

Essentially, team RFK JR just dropped their argument, acquiesced to the DNC position and the judge dismissed the case with prejudice. That removes RFK Jr from Nevada.  [Filing Here] This is the same process the lawyers used to get Kennedy off the ballot in Pennsylvania.

That said, Michigan and Wisconsin are not removing Robert F Kennedy Jr from those state ballots.

MICHIGAN – […] Kennedy is on the ballot in Michigan as a candidate for the Natural Law Party, which nominated him at its convention earlier this year. Cheri Hardmon, a spokesperson for the Michigan secretary of state’s office, confirmed to NBC News that “minor party candidates cannot withdraw, so his name will remain on the ballot in the November election.

WISCONSIN – […]  In Wisconsin, the state’s election commission met Tuesday to certify ballot access for presidential and vice presidential candidates. Even though Kennedy requested to withdraw his nomination petition as an independent candidate, the commission ultimately voted to decline that request, according to an archived video of the proceedings published by WisconsinEye, a nonprofit public affairs network.

“The statute literally says, ‘Any person who files nomination papers and qualifies to appear on the ballot may not decline nomination. The name of that person shall appear upon the ballot except in case of death of the person,'” Ann Jacobs, the chair of the commission, said to another commissioner struggling with the idea of keeping someone on the ballot who didn’t want to move forward with his candidacy.

“You’re giving me this touchy, feely: ‘I feel like this shouldn’t be the law.’ The law in this case is crystal clear,” she added. “I don’t disagree with you it’s weird but I don’t see we have any discretion here.” (MORE)

♦ SUMMARY: RFK Jr is gone from ballots in the battleground states of Arizona, Pennsylvania and now Nevada.  Not Michigan and Wisconsin.

It’s really not Jack Smith, so we should drop the pretenses.  Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann have recrafted a new DC indictment against President Trump by dropping around 10 pages of fraudulent evidence from the prior indictment and labeling it a “superseding indictment.”

The 36-page indictment is available HERE.  Essentially, after the supreme court decision on immunity, the majority of the previous case against President Trump was likely to fail, so Mary, Norm and Andrew went back and modified the previously lawfare to fit a narrower scale as requested by the supreme court.

The Lawfare crew then hand off the indictment to Jack Smith who runs it through a Grand Jury, and re-files it as a new set of issues; however, the majority of the case is structurally the same, they just took out the evidence they were using.  This fiasco does not appear to be any better than the previous pages of Lawfare.

(Via Politico) – […] The new indictment removes some specific allegations against Trump but contains the same four criminal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States. It’s a signal that Smith believes the high court’s immunity decision doesn’t pose a major impediment to convicting the former president.

“The superseding indictment, which was presented to a new grand jury that had not previously heard evidence in this case, reflects the Government’s efforts to respect and implement the Supreme Court’s holdings and remand instructions,” Smith’s team wrote in an accompanying court filing.

Several people have asked why the recent outlines about Tulsi Gabbard (Trump endorsement) and RFK Jr (Tucker Carlson interview), were presented without any opinion or analysis to accompany the articles.  Allow me to explain.

Friends, first, I am in action mode identifying who specifically is uploading state/county level registration data for key state ballot printing operations.  It sounds like boring footwork because it is, well, boring footwork.  This is not sexy, but hopefully this can have a big impact where needed.

Additionally, I am also just like you – trying to figure out how the intersections of the IC are playing out within this newly created coalition of MAGA and influential Democrats, the Unity Party as it is termed.

Essentially, on some aspects to these recent developments I’m trying to figure it out along with you; while my attention is operating at lower level toward what might be called the theatrics of political events.  Ballots matter right now more than all this other stuff.

That said, I am certainly not buying a lot of what is being put directly in front of me to purchase.  Someone recently said we have just accepted this intelligence operation of the 4th branch of government as if it is a hurdle to jump, or a gate with a lock to pick.

I’m not the guy that just accepts this stuff as our – “new normal.”  Eff these IC clowns.

Another aspect is how all of these anti-Trump anti-commonsense narratives (essentially lies) over the past several years are just accepted as the baseline for point making.  I just tune the conversation out because the premise is false, like RFK Jr saying yesterday that President Trump is “reprehensible” for what he did on January 6th, and Tucker Carlson just sitting there nodding in agreement like a goofy tool.

My mind sees that conversation and says, “what the heck is that all about?”  They both seem intelligent, Tucker has presented the FBI J6 stuff before, and yet they talk about J6 as if Trump was raging at people to attack Capitol Hill government.

Great, years later, at a time when it seems that no one cares about the issue, nor will anyone in a position of capability actually do anything about what he now admits, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he was working with the White House specifically to censor Americans by removing content on social media and he regrets it.

Just effen’ perfect…. The zombie minded leftist killers of speech and information, have overwhelmed the ramparts, crossed the moat, destroyed our gates, constitutional defenses and drawbridges, and are now bashing loudly on the interior doors in their bloodlust effort to take full control.  Meanwhile the few of us who remain are on the other side of that splintering door; veins bulging, muscles strained, pushing and holding back with all our might against every surge and attack wave…. and Zuckerberg nervously says, “whoops, sorry for dropping the drawbridge guys.”  Good grief Mark, shut up and grab an axe now!

Within the larger Western Intelligence Community and government control system overall, there is always internal communication and coordination amid the primary players (the G7 and G20 crowd).  No government does anything against a major communication player or Big Tech voice without the other governmental leaders having fore knowledge.

The U.S State Dept and Biden administration knew the French government were going to arrest Pavel Durov.  The context and the issues behind the justification are ridiculous.  Is Tim Cook now responsible for criminals who organize bank robberies on Apple iPhones?

(Via Fox News) – French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday claimed that Telegram CEO Pavel Durov’s arrest outside Paris over the weekend was “in no way a political decision.”   The development came after a French magistrate on Sunday extended the 39-year-old Russian-born billionaire’s detention, French daily newspaper Le Monde reported.  

[SOURCE]

[…] The Paris prosecutor’s office said in a statement Monday that the suspected violations include complicity in selling child pornography and in drug trafficking, fraud, abetting organized crime transactions and refusing to share information or documents with investigators when required by law, The Associated Press reported. 

Jean-Michel Bernigaud, secretary general of Ofmin, a French police agency tasked with preventing violence against minors, said Durov’s arrest was related to the platform allegedly not properly moderating content related to child sex crimes.  (read more)

The tech world, Big Tech leaders, internet researchers and every normal person of stable constitution, knows that nothing about those justifications is accurate to the motives of the leftist government in France.  What the government fears most is unregulated information that is averse to their interests.

“Crimes against children”?… Where was this concern when minors were force vaccinated at the behest of the same government entities now decrying “crimes against children.”  This ruse is nonsense.

President Trump was introduced today by Kid Rock to address the National Guard Association of the United States’ 146th General Conference & Exhibition.  The National Guard association’s annual business meeting — began Friday at Huntington Place, the Motor City’s main convention center. More than 4,200 Guard officers, their spouses and other guests in attendance.

The National Guard conference agenda includes Pentagon leaders and lawmakers every year. During presidential election years, NGAUS also invites the Democratic and Republican nominees for president. The association has hosted at least one major party candidate in every presidential election year since 1992.

President Trump spoke to the NGAUS conference in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was the Republican nominee for president in 2016.  And delivers remarks again today in Michigan.  The full speech video is below.  WATCH:

Vice Presidential nominee Senator JD Vance, appears on Meet the Press for an argumentative debate on Trump policy.  On the issue of tariffs, this might have been JD Vance’s first opportunity to set the record straight about what tariffs did in the first Trump administration.

Unfortunately, because JD Vance did not have the data to refute the NBC talking points, he missed an opportunity to set the record straight.  Tariffs did not raise prices and consumers did not pay tariff rates in the first Trump administration.  Factually, the exact opposite happened.  Prices dropped when Trump tariffs were put into place, the reasons are explained after the interview. WATCH:  

Our own analysis of U.S. consumer prices in 2019 showed that prices of imported goods actually declined despite the tariffs. A recent report from CPA takes a look at the impact to Chinese exports to the U.S.  [SEE DATA HERE] Bottom line, the tariffs worked to reduce Chinese imports.

CPA – […] Since the Section 301 tariffs were imposed, the share of imports from China has steadily declined from 21.6% in 2017 the year prior to the tariffs to 16.5%, a decline of 5.1%. No other country has lost as much share of total U.S. import penetration over the past five years.

In terms of total import value, Mexico gained the most from the tariffs, adding $110.8 billion. Vietnam gained the second most in import value by $78.4 billion and by far gained the most of total share of U.S. imports. In 2017, Vietnam accounted for about 2% of U.S. imports at $46.5 billion. In 2022, the U.S. imported $127.5 billion in goods from Vietnam, and the share of the total nearly doubled to 3.9%. Other countries in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia all saw significant increases in their value of imports by the U.S. (read more)

With the 2024 election here, it is worth revisiting the actual tariff outcome to American consumers in order to dispel the popular myths about tariffs raising prices here at home.  This might be the cited data you want to bookmark for later reference.

It was the Fourth Quarter of 2019…..
