Things are a little weird in Iowa as one of the candidates thought it would be a great idea to start rapping on stage, and then things get really uncomfortable. There are moments in every eco-chambering campaign where the responsible voice in the room says, “no – just no” and protects the candidate from the big stupid.
I’m not exactly sure what the goal and objective is here, but (a) Ramalamadingdong did not have that voice in the room; and (b) apparently no longer wants to be considered as a viable candidate. Nothing else quite explains this level of cringe. WATCH:
Today was a not very good, horrible day for the DeMeatball in Iowa. While President Trump was swamped with people cheering and trying to get an autograph, the absentee governor from the Sunshine state was running the gauntlet through crowds shouting, “we love Trump” and calling the lying liar who lies, “pudding fingers.” lol 😂
The optics were so bad, Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, a DeSantis supporter and campaign advocate, had to beg people in attendance to stop yelling at the sensitive guy from Florida, and be “Iowa nice.” However, while the GOP may define “Iowa nice” as the powdered wig sensibility of country club republicanism and given the nature of our national crisis driven by the ‘reach-across-the aisle’ mannerism it represents, the attending audiences were a little more deliberate in disregarding the instructions.
Yes, this is a new era of MAGA republicanism, where the base voter understands the stakes and fights like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark.
“Hey, you know what? We’re in Iowa! And in Iowa we’re ‘Iowa Nice.’ So, let’s give everyone the opportunity to hear our candidates,” Reynolds snapped as the crowd began to cheer in response. “So, we’ll stop until you do, but we’re all going to have an opportunity to hear from each and every candidate.”
The protesters who heckled DeSantis also went viral for an incident the day before where they confronted DeMeatball at a campaign stop in Iowa by yelling “Go back to Florida, pudding fingers” through a bullhorn.
Tucker Carlson interviews Capitol Hill Police Chief Steven Sund about the events that took place in Washington DC on January 6, 2021. {Direct Rumble Link}
Within the interview former Chief Sund notes there was extensive “chatter” intelligence gathered by Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and even the Defense Dept (DoD) about the potential for disturbance and possible violence on Capitol Hill. However, not a single briefing was ever conducted, and not a shred of documentation was created about the warnings to share with the Capitol Police.
Was the “chatter” real or was it self-created by political leadership in federal agencies, DHS, DoD and FBI, who were intent on using chaos to facilitate the goals and objectives of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. We have previously outlined the Pelosi motive and expand again below. The Tucker Carlson interview with Police Chief Sund puts those motives and outcomes into a new context. WATCH:
Within the questions: the FBI and government apparatus had advanced knowledge of the scale of the J6 mall assembly yet doing nothing? Why were the Capitol Hill police never informed of the FBI concerns? Why didn’t House Speaker Nancy Pelosi secure the Capitol Hill complex, and why did she deny the request by President Trump to call up the national guard for security support? Why did the FBI have agent provocateurs in the crowd, seemingly stimulating rage within a peaceful crowd to enter the Capitol building? There have always been these nagging questions around ‘why’?
This interview segment is almost as if Devin Nunes reads here. The former House Intel Committee chairman outlines the appointment of David Weiss as another DC silo creation similar in construct to John Durham. {Direct Rumble Link}
Obviously, Nunes is correct. Additionally, as Nunes accurately outlines the entire weaponization process traces back to when Barack Obama took office and unleashed the apparatus of the intelligence agencies to target domestic political opposition. At the same time, Obama’s AG Eric Holder created the DOJ National Security Division and then weaponized surveillance under the auspices of FARA and FISA Courts to target one side of the political dynamic. WATCH:
Elevator Speech:
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.
The changed definitions continue through today. The DHS partnership with Big Tech is an extension of the issue. Thus, political opposition spreads “disinformation,” ergo the voice and content of the political opposition must be removed. The targeting is one long continuum.
REPOST BY REQUEST– We cannot fight our way through the issues until we first realize what lies at the root of the problem.
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
This point is where many people understandably get confused.
Elevator Speech:
(1) The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
(2) Obama/Biden then redefined what is a “terrorist” to include their political opposition.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
After 9/11/01, the electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country. That is when all of our electronic ‘metadata’ came under federal surveillance.
That inflection point, and the process that followed, was exactly what Edward Snowden tried to point out.
Let’s see… We will trade you one SBF incarceration in exchange for one DJT incarceration and call it fair.
After a US judge in New York tells Sam Bankman-Fried he does not have unlimited first amendment rights, Judge Lewis Kaplan revoked bail and sent SBF to jail for using leaks to the media to intimidate a key federal witness against him – his former girlfriend.
Setting the stage for…
A US judge in DC telling President Donald John Trump he does not have unlimited first amendment rights; establishing the groundwork for sending DJT to jail for using his political platform to intimate Mike Pence, a key federal witness against him – his former Vice President.
Both of these things happened. A narrative coincidence, I’m sure.
(Via NBC) – Sam Bankman-Fried will head to jail on Friday after a judge sided with a request by federal prosecutors to revoke the FTX founder’s bail over alleged witness tampering. Bankman-Fried will be remanded to custody directly from a court hearing in New York, where he will remain ahead of his criminal trial – which is due to begin on Oct. 2.
Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Bankman-Fried’s request for delayed detention pending an appeal.
[…] In the motion requesting Bankman-Fried’s detention, the government said that, over the last several months, the defendant had sent over 100 emails to the media and had made over 1,000 phone calls to members of the press. The final straw, according to prosecutors, was Bankman-Fried leaking private diary entries of his ex-girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, to the New York Times. Ellison pleaded guilty to federal charges in Dec. 2022.
Oh, there will be voices who will proclaim this is the beginning of the end for Joe and Hunter, but that’s nonsense. We don’t do pretending on these pages. What happened today was an agreement between USAO David Weiss and US Attorney General Merrick Garland to fortify a silo of protection around the Biden family.
The shift in David Weiss from an investigative US Attorney to an officially appointed Special Counsel [SEE pdf HERE], is nothing more than loading the new color spray paint into the cannister. Pesky House Oversight Committee inquiry now hits the block of an “ongoing investigation,” a purposeful deployment of a DC replay we have seen repeatedly in the last several years. The cancer of corruption is institutionally metastatic.
We know the specific motives of USAO David Weiss as a result of the conflict between his public statements, letters to congress and the private statements he gave in meetings with IRS investigators. Toward the public, Weiss said he had full autonomy and power to investigate Hunter Biden; however, in private he told four investigators the decision-making was not his. The public statements were refuted and affirmed by two investigators who were witness to his private statements and gave testimony under oath.
As a result, the intent and institutional alignment of David Weiss is clear. This is the cold hard truth of the matter, and it will not change regardless of how much disingenuous concrete they pour around the walls of the silo Main Justice has built. Ignore any voice who would demand us to pretend the reality is not self-evident.
The New York Times has an article written yesterday noting how the DeSantis team has a special agreement with the RNC, via WinRed, to hide the small donor contributions to their campaign.
Knowing how the Big Club operates within the private corporation known as the RNC, and with small donor contributions being a debate qualification, it makes you wonder if this “special RNC agreement” with the DeSantis team might carry a motive to ensure a debate hurdle is overcome.
(New York Times) – When WinRed, the company that processes nearly all online Republican campaign contributions, recently released its enormous trove of donor data for the first half of the year, donations were conspicuously absent for one presidential candidate: Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida.
It was no technical glitch. The DeSantis campaign worked with WinRed in a way that prevented the disclosure of donor information, ensuring that the campaign’s small donors would remain anonymous, according to a person familiar with the campaign.
X-Corp, formerly known as Twitter, CEO Linda Yaccarino appeared on CNBC to discuss the new direction of the platform and affirm her complete autonomy to control the decision making within the corporation.
It’s important to note the timing for the first CEO appearance of Yaccarino against the backdrop of CTH financial analysis of the company. According to my calculations X-Corp will run out of working capital, the actual cash needed to pay expenses, in mid to late October; roughly two months from now. At that point Elon Musk and Linda Yaccarino will need to go back into the market for more cash.
After asserting her complete unilateral control over all decision making within the company, Yaccarino then went on to discuss how information will be defined according to new operational standards she is helping to implement. The pertinent part of the conversation happens at the 01:16 point of the video segment below. WATCH:

…”if you are going to post something that is illegal or against the law, you’re gone. Zero tolerance. But more importantly, if you are going to post something that is lawful, but it’s awful, you get labeled. You get labeled, you get deamplified, which means it cannot be shared, and it is certainly demonetized. … So, they [advertisers] are protected from the risk of being next to that content.”…
The position essentially seems reasonable, I guess. However, I still don’t trust any of the cattle car valets with DHS authorizations and credentials.
Several people have made queries about the current state of our national economic condition against the backdrop of disconnected data points that seemingly conflict. Here’s my review.
July and August are key months to gauge the prior six months of U.S consumer positioning.
Why?
Because all advance purchase orders for the U.S. holiday season are made in May, June and July for inventory builds and delivery schedules for September. The decisions made by purchasing officers in late spring and early summer, reflect their predictive analysis for the holiday season.
Inventories are evaluated, critical financial discussions are held, and orders are placed for September arrival and distribution. This predictive activity is what we see in the July and August data that flows from the global, multinational and shipping corporations who facilitate the transfer of the goods. Check what is happening in distribution, and you can see what eventually creates the boxcar effect in the supply chain that ultimately leads to shuttered manufacturing.
Those who are involved in the business of shipping goods are signaling the flares around the state of the consumer economy and what will happen. At the same time, the wording is almost hilarious in this era of great pretending. Instead of saying ordinary words like “poor sales results for durable goods,” the parseltongue calls sales, “destocking.” Example: “CEO Vincent Clerc said he saw no sign that the destocking which has curbed global trade activity would end this year.”
Global shipping company Maersk is warning that shipping volume is low because warehouse inventories are high. The goods are unsold.
