It has been a while since the people running the Biden administration have used the stage set they constructed at the beginning of Joe Biden’s installment.
Factually, no one ever explained why the people controlling Joe Biden went to all the trouble to construct a completely fake Oval Office and White House set in the Eisenhower office building. Everyone just seemed to accept the stage and subsequent performances as if they were some type of ordinary communications choices. The acceptance always struck me as very odd. I digress.
Today, it is noted that a U-Haul truck appears at the White House, oddly timed to coincide with Joe Biden giving his farewell address to the DNC convention audience in Chicago. The accompanying notation with the picture says, “NEW: U-Haul moving trucks are parked outside of the White House today — hours before Biden’s planned “farewell” address to the DNC. Are they finally giving Biden the permanent boot?”
The fact that a U-Haul is used just seems strange to me, considering that the White House could use any packing, shipping and/or secure transport company they wanted. It’s not like costs are an issue; so, why use a U-Haul?
Never to be accused of doing anything timely for the American people, the republicans on the House Oversight, Judiciary and Ways and Means committees just released a 291-page report today [full pdf here], highlighting the evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption in office.
The Republicans couldn’t wait to send money to Ukraine. The same Republicans rushed a FISA reauthorization bill. The Republicans also fast-tracked a Green New Deal bill under the guise of an Inflation Reduction Act, and they delivered a fake border security bill. However, it took them three years to outline Biden’s pay-to-play schemes. Go figure.
Joe Biden is heading to the exit, his cohort Kamala now represents the face of the administration, and here comes the Chaff and Countermeasures committee members with their outrage and shock.
As noted by Politico, “House Republican investigators accused President Joe Biden of engaging in “impeachable conduct” as part of a long-awaited report. It’s unlikely to change a reality the party has faced for months: They don’t have the votes to impeach him.” (more)
There is a considerable discussion starting about Kamala Harris potentially having a problem with alcohol {LINK}. In part, people are reviewing the videos of Mrs. Harris and there appears to be a pattern of odd behavior that seems like she is drunk.
Mrs Harris has always been a rather odd person, with a propensity for speaking in gibberish. I guess the question is whether that goofy personality is really just the outcome of Kamala Harris drinking. Some of the video segments being highlighted are shared below.
What do you think? Is Kamala Harris under the influence of alcohol?
BREAKING: Multiple police officers have come forward stating that Kamala is 100% intoxicated in this clip and she would’ve been charged with a DUI if she was behind the wheel of a car.

A few weeks ago, former Senator Benn Sasse quit his job as President at University of Florida. The claimed reason given by Sasse was to care for his wife who has epilepsy, but the timing of things now looks very sketchy.
I’m going to outline the details in real time because this is going to become more critical as Ron DeSantis positions his future ambitions for the White House, again in 2028.
CTH noted a few years ago that Ron DeSantis was positioning for 2024 presidency. One of the supportive datapoints was a $20 million donation by the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) to Ron DeSantis {LINK}. At the time of the donation to DeSantis, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts was the RGA chairman.
After the donation was made, Ron DeSantis then used the influence of his office to support Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse for the position of President of University of Florida {LINK}. As noted by Politico: “Sasse’s sherpa through the university search process was Gov. Ron DeSantis’ chief of staff James Uthmeier, who was put in contact with Sasse several months ago after he quietly expressed interest in becoming UF president.“ (link)
After Ben Sasse accepted the position as UF President, former Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts then became Senator {LINK}. Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen announced Thursday that former Gov. Pete Ricketts will fill the Senate seat of Ben Sasse, who officially resigned from Congress this week to return to academia as president of the University of Florida. Ricketts, a Republican, like Pillen and Sasse, will serve two years ahead of a 2024 special Senate election.
The quid-pro-quo was complete. DeSantis took the $20 million from Chairman Ricketts, then opened the path for Ricketts to move to the Senate by using his office to support the movement of Senator Sasse. Despite the activity taking place over 2 years, the sequence of it was transparent to those who paid attention. However, now comes the problem.
It is not difficult to understand why the Kamala Harris campaign, led on strategic coordination by Brian Fallon, rejected the efforts of Robert F Kennedy Jr to coordinate with the campaign. However, to understand the obvious reason a few realities must be accepted.
Prior to the switching of Biden with Harris, RFK Jr was polling around 8 to 12% in most commonly accepted polling results. After Kamala Harris replaced Joe Biden, RFK Jr ballot support dropped to around 4 to 6%. The reason was simple, the democrats supporting RFK Jr, disenfranchised with Biden, returned once he was replaced.
The current 4 to 6% support that remains with Robert Kennedy Jr are never-MAGA republicans, single issue vaxx voters and never-Trumpers. Why would Fallon want to interrupt that convenient fracture?
So long as the GOPe voters have an alternative, Kamala is in a good place. The campaign of Kamala benefits from RFK Jr wandering around the landscape of tenuous republicans herding potential Trump ballots into a convenient RFK Jr vote shredder. Fallon doesn’t want Kennedy to stop this process.
It is genuinely amazing how many astute political observers cannot see this dynamic playing out in real time. The political gravity of Robert F Kennedy is apparently so strong, there are many republican ballots vulnerable to it.
In the video example below, Patrick Bet-David, Vincent Oshana, Adam Sosnick, and to a much lesser extent Tom Ellsworth are so captured by the previous enticements of RFK Jr, they cannot see the current play and understand why Fallon is rejecting him. WATCH:
The media construct around the political campaign of Kamala Harris took a big hit today when Harris held a campaign event in Raleigh, North Carolina, but did not have a big-name music star to bring the crowds. As a result, only a few dozen supporters showed up to hear the preliminary economic plan of Kamala Harris.
The official crowd size was listed at 109 participants, including media as Kamala read from a teleprompter at the event.
Harris has pledged price controls for groceries, which will drive up the price of groceries. Harris has pledged $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, which will drive up the price of housing. And Harris has pledged to use taxpayer funds to build 5 million residential housing units for low-income illegal aliens.
With the announcement of the 2025 transition team well in advance, you might note that President Donald Trump is taking a much more aggressive stance on the vetting of potential members of his administration. This is a critical and necessary proactive plan; it should be considered a very good sign.
President Trump has appointed Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick as co-chairs of the transition team. However, President Trump has also appointed JD Vance, Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump as honorary chairs, likely with veto authority over any staffing recommendation.
Linda McMahon and Howard Lutnick provide a solid, intelligent, pragmatic and emotionally disconnected perspective. There is a strong likelihood both Co-Chairs understand how the DC system and IC will respond to a 2024 victory and position the attack in 2025.
As the primary voice who advocated to put JD Vance into position, Donald Trump Jr has found his passion in politics, strongly believes Vance will be the 2028 candidate, and seems to be positioning himself to be the VP on the ’28 Vance ticket. Eric Trump is the silent, stable, strategic and smart apple closest to the tree.
Representative Clay Higgins is a member of the congressional investigative task force looking into the assassination attempt by Thomas Matthew Crooks against President Trump. Rep Higgins was also doing independent research prior to his appointment to the congressional committee, and he released his preliminary report findings today [SEE HERE pdf].
There are some remarkable revelations in the 6-page pdf. One detail outlines how it was a Butler County SWAT officer who fired the initial shot that stopped Matthew Crooks after 8 shots fired. The Feds did not initially stop the assassin, the locals did. Another detail highlights how the Butler County coroner was not aware the FBI quickly released the body of Crooks for immediate cremation.
♦ […] “The 9th shot fired on J13 was from a Butler SWAT operator from the ground about 100 yards away from the AGR building. Shot 9 hit Crooks’ rifle stock and fragged his face/neck/right shoulder area from the stock breaking up. The SWAT operator who took this shot was a total badass; when he had sighted the shooter Crooks as a mostly obscured by foliage moving target on the AGR rooftop, he immediately left his assigned post and ran towards the threat, running to a clear shot position directly into the line of fire while Crooks was firing 8 rounds. On his own, this ESU SWAT operator took a very hard shot, one shot. He stopped Crooks and importantly, I believe the shot damaged the buffer tube on Crooks’ AR. I won’t be certain of this until I can examine Crooks’ rifle, but I’m 99% sure based upon reliable eye-witness ESU tactical officers who observed Crooks’ rifle before the FBI harvested it as evidence. This means that if his AR buffer tube was damaged, Crooks’ rifle wouldn’t fire after his 8th shot.” [Clay Higgins Report, pdf – page 4]
President Trump is bringing a few additional resources to the final months of the 2024 campaign.
Former 2016 campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is returning to the 2024 campaign in an advisory capacity.
(Via Politico) – […] Lewandowski, who has remained an informal Trump adviser since his first campaign, is being brought on to advise the campaign’s senior leadership team, according to a person familiar with the move and granted anonymity to speak freely. He joins several other former Trump aides who will play similar roles.
Tim Murtaugh, who was the communications director on Trump’s 2020 campaign, will also be joining. So, too, will be Alex Pfeiffer and Alex Bruesewitz, who were top officials on the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC. Bruesewitz is known for having a wide following on social media. POLITICO reported early this week that Taylor Budowich, who had been leading MAGA Inc., had left the super PAC to join the Trump campaign in a senior capacity.
“As we head into the home stretch of this election, we are continuing to add to our impressive campaign team,” Trump co-campaign managers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita said in a statement. “Corey Lewandowski, Taylor Budowich, Alex Pfeiffer, Alex Bruesewitz, and Tim Murtaugh are all veterans of prior Trump campaigns and their unmatched experience will help President Trump prosecute the case against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, the most radical ticket in American history.” (read more)
