I’m glad I waited before sharing the following analysis because I’m not as concerned today as I was when I originally read the Guardian article.   Yesterday, The Guardian reported that Donald Trump Jr would be introducing the VP nominee at the RNC convention.  According to them, that could indicate a strong likelihood of JD Vance as the nominee. That would be horrible.

However, what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks.  The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; so, it’s a sequencing thing.  Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.

There is, however, an unfortunate aspect to the articles predictions that is currently surfacing all over the media.

The top 3 finalists, according to a bazillion clickbait articles, are JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum.  I have tried to stay away from the VP discussion because, well, it’s basically a clickbait conversation.  Also, because if Donald Trump has not made up his mind months ago, then we are in more trouble than just the worry of a VP who might impede swamp draining.

If I have any accurate arrows of faith or pragmatic hope left in my quiver, then I am correct in thinking that Donald Trump made this decision a long time ago, and the Vice President nominee has long known exactly what the plan is.  If my “begin with the end in mind” thinking is incorrect; well, then we’re in bigger trouble than 99% of MAGA Americans can fathom.

Having said that, I hope none of the aforementioned names are accurate, because the very specific and current attributes we need for what is going to be a 15-year generational effort in our Constitutional Republic are not held by either Vance, Burgum or certainly not Rubio.

Every consideration of the VP selection MUST pass through the prism of knowing who the malevolent enemy we are facing truly is, the Intelligence Community, the Fourth Branch of Government.

Lots going on today. For those who thought that bygones would be bygones, well, you don’t have to worry about a Trump-Haley ticket. Heck, you don’t even have to worry about seeing Nikki Haley at the RNC convention, because she was not invited.  These ‘PUMA desserts’ are just tasty [PUMA = party unity my ass].

Apparently, President Trump did not forget the entirety of the process from 2018 to 2024 that laid behind the curtain of Nikki Haley. {SEE HERE} Good news!

Personally, I hope this is a sign of much more intra-party confrontation still to come.  Perhaps Haley can go play pickleball with Glenn Youngkin in her free time.

WASHINGTON DC – Former South Carolina Gov. NIKKI HALEY is releasing all of her 97 delegates and urging them to vote for DONALD TRUMP at next week’s Republican National Convention, our colleague Meridith McGraw reports.

“The nominating convention is a time for Republican unity,” Haley will say in a statement. “JOE BIDEN is not competent to serve a second term and KAMALA HARRIS would be a disaster for America. We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track. I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee.”

Asked if Haley is attending the convention, Haley spox CHANEY DENTON said that Haley “was not invited, and she’s fine with that. Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.”  (read more)

Play this at the opening of the RNC convention!

“Now that Former President Trump is the Republican nominee for President in 2024, it’s time for Republicans, including those who doubt him or even can’t stand him, to get behind him. The times demand it.”

It’s odd how no one in the American media seems to ask how Obama and Biden went from a friendly “reset” with Russia in 2009 to full geopolitical antagonism in 2011.

♦ What exactly led to the complete reversal of intent?

I digress…. However, having some deeper understanding of the current status of the conflict, I also find it curious how the New York Tims can just seemingly bury the lead in their story about how U.S-led military “mercenary” soldiers are on the ground fighting, while seemingly forgetting their prior outline about how the CIA was conducting all the military operations in the same area. Not funny, that.

“In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit” – […] Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.

Caspar Grosse, a German medic in that unit, said he saw the soldier plead for medical attention in a mix of broken English and Russian. It was dusk. A team member looked for bandages.

That is when, Mr. Grosse said, a fellow soldier hobbled over and fired his weapon into the Russian soldier’s torso. He slumped, still breathing. Another soldier fired — “just shot him in the head,” Mr. Grosse recalled in an interview.

Presented with a certain amount of reserved, perhaps pragmatic & cautious optimism.

I have made no secret of my preferred candidate to run with President Trump as his vice-president nominee.  For a myriad of well thought out reasons, I have long held the hope that Dr. Ben Carson would be the running mate for President Donald Trump. {Background Here} Considering the ramifications, my thought process is not some random, esoteric thought, clickbait discussion or academic exercise.

Having been extremely deep in the political weeds, which some powerful and influential people have described as, “you’re nuts with your endeavors,” with a great deal of risk and with a tremendous about of fact-based reconnaissance into the nature of the ideological enemy – in combination with thousands of hours of private thought and prayer – I truly believe the #1 characteristic we need, in this exceptionally important moment in history, is a man (or woman) of incredible character, loyalty, virtue, and most importantly, unwavering faith.

This is not just a critical national election; we are in a spiritual battle against a very determined force of global malevolence, dare I even say visible evil.

That said, President Trump has indicated we will soon know the answer.

In the past several years we have all travelled deep into the political weeds, manufactured backgrounds and political corruption.  The journey for the raw and unfiltered truth has pushed us deeper than any of us wanted to go.  We have traveled far outside our comfort zone to understand the true nature of the world around us.

I think many people can relate to this sentiment shared by “LearningAsIGo“:

“After the past four years, I am slow to hope anything good is happening for real. But right now, I feel like I have been sawing on a tree trunk for a very long time, my arms are tired, but I just heard a crack from inside the trunk. It’s not falling yet, but I can’t walk away now, because it could crack the rest of the way anytime. I don’t know exactly when, and I don’t know exactly where.

The scary part is there is a narrow angle in which it must fall to avoid huge damage. I do know it is close to happening, and everything I do or don’t do right now could determine the direction it falls.

Time to get back to sawing, stay alert, and keep my eyes on what needs to happen!”

Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.  The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.

U.S. elections are no longer about “votes,” modern elections in America are about “ballots”.   As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes – the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots.  The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it’s the person who gets the most ballots, not votes.

So, let us start by asking the right question:  What is a representative from South Carolina doing in Wisconsin visiting ten key ballot counting precincts in three key cities, Madison, Milwaukee and Beloit?   Anyone?  Anyone?   The story gets even more interesting when you see what text messages about “ballot ordering“ followed James Clyburn’s visit.  First, the citation for the visit [04:00 video]:

You, me and likely millions of deep political researchers know exactly what James Clyburn is doing.  But ask yourself why this is so out in the open and not confronted.  You know exactly who James Clyburn is and what his function consists of within the Democrat party election process, but how do we get everyone else to see it?

At the end of the ballot harvesting operation in the key state counties for Democrats, there are precinct workers who are then tasked with counting those ballots.  The number of ballots needed to change the outcome of the election, is essentially the determining factor in how many ballots are scanned by the precinct workers in the key districts.

Most of the regional precinct workers in the key counties that change the elections, are affiliated with and originate from the African Methodist Episcopal church.  This is who James Clyburn was visiting and organizing.  In person coordination eliminates the need for a paper trail.

Congressman Wesley Hunt tells a story about President Trump and a key meeting he had about Afghanistan. This is good. WATCH:

In a tense meeting with Taliban leaders, Trump declared, “I want to leave Afghanistan, but it’s going to be a conditions-based withdrawal,” before issuing a stark warning.

“If you harm a hair on a single American, I’m going to kill you,” Trump said. The translator conveyed this exact message.

Trump then “reached in his pocket, pulled out a satellite photo of the leader of the Taliban’s home, handed it to him, got up and walked out the room.”

…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”… 

In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court of the United Stated ruled that presidents have “absolute immunity” for official “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.”  [SEE RULING HERE] Also, “official acts” cannot be used as evidence against the president in a criminal case.

As expected, the high court instructed the lower trial courts to hold specific evidentiary hearings on each anti-Trump criminal count, and determine which counts, if any, related to official or unofficial acts.

The Supreme Court is essentially telling the lower courts to go back and look at each citation and review which claims are official acts and which claims related to unofficial acts. The Supreme Court ruled that presidents may not have immunity for non-official conduct. However, when the judicial review cannot differentiate, the court cannot look at motives for the decisions.

I doubt there’s a person who regularly reads the Treehouse who doesn’t know our long-standing prediction about the 2024 democrat nomination. Factually, if you go back to the first set of articles written after the 2020 election, you will find it has not changed in almost 4 years.

Biden was installed for a single ‘throw every leftist wish list item at the wall‘ term in office.  Biden equaled, one single term where every far-left agenda item would be triggered; with hundreds of millions poured into the donors’ vaults via GND legislation.

With that baseline in mind, we accepted that Biden would not be the left-wing 2024 nominee regardless of how much people stomped their feet and said he would.  That scenario was just never going to happen, and still won’t.   I never flinched from that non-pretending position.

My own prediction was that someone akin to Gavin Newsom would be joined with someone akin to Susan Rice.  I have written about it extensively.  Every single person in/around my orbit knows that for me the conversation in the last 48 hours is like discussing water that lacks dryness.

These are the moments when I just sit and watch.  There’s really not much for me to say or write, other than to wait, then bring everyone into the room of ramifications that comes after walking down the hallway where reality gets accepted.  In the ramification room we start discussing how the multinationals, World Bank, World Trade Organization, NATO, EU, BRICS, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin will respond to the non-pretending reality.

Right now, everyone in the USA is discussing the ‘remove Biden’ political landscape domestically. However, in the bigger picture there’s an entire world of really big issues that come along when the USA media start openly admitting the USA president has dementia. There’s a reason why President Trump refused to engage this conversation before. It’s not good for the world.

When you use a bullhorn to announce the zookeeper is sick, people near the big cats start discussing how to unlock the cages. Yes, sure, people like Barack Obama and his tribe will giggle and laugh, but in the biggest of big pictures this loud public conversation is not good for our country or the world. It is good that we all stop pretending; our Lord knows we have hoped the pretending would cease. But don’t forget to think… and watch out for what comes next.  Here’s Tucker Carlson:

Also, keep this in mind…..
