The following NBC article is a little humorous, from the perspective that MSM writes an article about something that is transparently obvious to those who have followed the nature of the 2024 GOP primary.

Essentially, the gist is that Team Biden is confident they will win the vast majority of Nikki Haley supporters in the 2024 general election.  NBC posits that President Trump is not trying to make progress winning those voters, because he’s divisive or something.  However, the core underpinning of the promoted narrative is creating the illusion of something that doesn’t actually exist.

As highlighted by actual results, exit polling and various reviews of the people who voted for Nikki Haley, her bid for the GOP nomination was supported by Democrats, not Republicans.  Democrats in New Hampshire, Washington DC, Virginia and Vermont supported Haley.

It is not coincidental that strategic efforts were made to court Democrats to support her.  Also, the places where she did well were states and municipalities with open primaries, same day registration/voting, and easy election day party switching.  These processes made it simple for Democrats to vote in the Republican primary.

Bottom line, the overwhelming majority of votes for Haley came from Democrats, who were/are going to vote for Biden anyway. So, it’s an exercise in being obtuse not to accept the reality of who exactly represented the Haley voting base.  Then again, professional and intentional ignorance and strategic pretending is a trait of those skilled in gaslighting.

As a consequence of the dynamic, President Trump making any effort to court the Haley vote is an exercise in futility.  Trump is right to just move on, snark at the nonsense that Haley represented, and avoid spending energy on an attempt that will generate nothing substantive in value.  However, for Team Biden saying they will win Haley voters is just an exercise in political narrative engineering the media love to promote.

Those who understand the long history of Mitch McConnell as a Machiavellian-minded Senate Leader well understand how this is playing out.

John Thune’s prior endorsement of Donald Trump sets the stage.  Nikki Haley withdrawing from opposition to Donald Trump, on behalf of the financial and professional political class who underwrote her effort, was a transparent predicate.

Now comes the Machiavellian leverage move by Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who falsely positions his support without conditions as a lull toward a duplicitous intent.

In the background, the DeceptiCon move will be to support something akin to California Democrat Senate candidate Adam Schiff as an installment move within the upper chamber.

Schumer/McConnell planning for Thune’s installation with an agreement to acquiesce appointment of Schiff to replace SSCI Chair Mark Warner as a background move to impede the threat that a successful Trump reelection represents.

That’s the type of senatorial ploy we should expect.

If MAGA has not learned these lessons by now, then nothing has been learned about the nature of opposition.  That is simply the way of the UniParty Senate.

(Via ABC News) – Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a longtime critic of Donald Trump and a frequent target, on Wednesday endorsed him in the 2024 presidential race.

“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said in a statement Wednesday, just after Nikki Haley suspended her campaign.

With teeth clinched in her familiar -albeit annoying- style of elocution, the Republican with the most support from Democrats drops out of the presidential primary.

Nikki Haley now has the option to run as presidential replacement for Volodymyr Zelensky.

Thus, the final chapter in the billionaire Sea Island donor effort to eliminate Donald Trump comes to an end. As traditional amid the character trait of the professional liars and manipulators, Haley refused to endorse Trump and indicated she never intended to adhere to the endorsement pledge of the Republican Party. Thus, the way of the DeceptiCon RATs continues.

The exit theme she read from the provided script of her departure remarks was the same as her intro theme.  Haley declaring her primary qualification was her gender.  The script she read was not written by her, and Haley’s delivery was as awkward as one would expect.  WATCH:

WASHINGTON – […] In brief remarks, Haley declined to endorse Trump, as most of her other GOP primary rivals have already done, instead urging him to give her more moderate-minded supporters a reason to back him in November.

“It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond who did not support him,” Haley said to reporters assembled at her campaign headquarters in Daniel Island, South Carolina. “And I hope he does that. At its best, politics is about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away. And our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for choosing.”

This is an interesting response to the question of whether South Dakota Senator John Thune intends to seek the position of senate majority leader.  Listen to the way he says it and the transparency of the long-discussed plan is crystal clear {GO DEEP, 2022}  WATCH:

We have written about this plan for several years.  Mitch McConnell personally groomed Thune for the position and has introduced him to all the key financial players that keep the DeceptiCons (Deceptive Conservatives) in office.   GO DEEP and GO DEEP

Thune talks about assuming the role as the natural outcome of his time with McConnell.  Unfortunately, almost all the GOPe Republicans will support this passing of the baton.  The only thing that makes the Deep State professional Republicans nervous, is the potential for President Donald Trump to intercede in the anointing.

TMI… If George Soros and Madeline Albright had a love child, it would be Victoria Nuland.

Victoria Nuland, the third-highest ranking U.S. diplomat, and one of the principal agents responsible for attempted color revolutions, (ie. Russia and Ukraine), will retire and leave her post this month, according to The State Department today.

This is a good indicator that things are not going according to the Obama/Biden agenda. GOOD!

Anthony Blinken – Victoria Nuland has let me know that she intends to step down in the coming weeks as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs – a role in which she has personified President Biden’s commitment to put diplomacy back at the center of our foreign policy and revitalize America’s global leadership at a crucial time for our nation and the world.

Toria’s tenure caps three and a half decades of remarkable public service under six Presidents and ten Secretaries of State. Starting with her very first posting as a consular officer in Guangzhou, China, Toria’s had most of the jobs in this Department. Political officer and economic officer. Spokesperson and chief of staff. Deputy Assistant Secretary and Assistant Secretary. Special Envoy and Ambassador.

These experiences have armed Toria with an encyclopedic knowledge of a wide range of issues and regions, and an unmatched capacity to wield the full toolkit of American diplomacy to advance our interests and values.

What makes Toria truly exceptional is the fierce passion she brings to fighting for what she believes in most: freedom, democracy, human rights, and America’s enduring capacity to inspire and promote those values around the world. (read more)

President Trump holds a remarkable disposition for providing grace, forgiveness and acceptance. I do not possess such an admirable skillset.

The Club for Growth and David McIntosh were/are the vehicle behind Ron DeSantis’ political career. The CfG organization organized donors, groups, PAC support and operated as an attack mechanism against President Trump and the MAGA movement for the past several years.

In the past two years the CfG has spent millions viciously undermining MAGA and President Trump. Their disdain for the middle class is palpable, and they hate the America First Main Street agenda. As the Chamber of Commerce is to Bush Republicans, the CfG Inc is to the Paul Ryan clan of GOPe politics.

Apparently, President Trump has forgiven CfG and David McIntosh for the attacks against MAGA; I am of no similar disposition. I have two words for McIntosh and the PAC he represents, and they are not “Merry Christmas”.

If you ever needed a good point to highlight the nature of political Lawfare, this is a great example.

Julie Kelly essentially notes that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is asking DC Judge James Boasberg to decide what evidence should be given to Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.

Julie Kelly (Via Twitter) – “It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.

Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC–not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell–which they did. For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.

Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon. But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.

So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal? When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court. (link)

There is a certain level of cognitive disassociation needed by the media to ignore how the DOJ is using a DC court system to prosecute a Florida case against Trump.   Go Deep on Boasberg HERE

Hunter Biden spent 6 hours testifying on Capitol Hill Wednesday and giving obtuse answers to questions from a joint panel from the House Oversight and House Judiciary Committee.

Within his testimony Hunter Biden consistently blamed his drug addiction for his memory lapses and suggested he was often too high/stoned to recall events.   Within the testimony he claimed to have attempted to kill himself ‘on a daily basis.’

The majority of the questioning surrounded his father Joe Biden’s involvement in various payment schemes that were part of the foreign businesses Hunter was responsible for handling.   Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) made the full transcript available to the public earlier today.  The 229-page document is full of information – READ HERE.

[READ FULL TRANSCRIPT]

WASHINGTON — First son Hunter Biden corroborated many of the core facts in what Republicans say is a constellation of interactions between Joe Biden and his offspring’s foreign partners that shows Hunter and his uncle James were selling access to their powerful relative.

The Supreme Court has granted certiorari and accepted the case of President Trump arguing presidential immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office.  At the heart of the issue the court will determine if the charges brought by Jack Smith need to be dropped, or if the case against President Trump can continue forward.

If the Supreme Court begins defining what types of immunity exist for Presidents in office, they are beginning to open the door to multiple Lawfare efforts against the chief executive by agencies of the administrative state.  This could be extremely troublesome for the future abilities of the presidency far beyond Donald Trump.

WASHINGTON DC – In a one-page order Wednesday, the court set an expedited schedule to hear the immunity issue, with oral arguments to be set during the week of April 22. In the meantime, proceedings in the trial court will remain frozen.

The transparency of this timing is almost too clear.  A couple of days ago, the Koch network said they were going to drop back to a defensive position and look to retain their influence in the House and Senate.  The next day John Thune announced he was endorsing President Trump.  Deceptive Conservatives, aka “DeceptiCons,” are always positioning to retain power structures.

Today, Mitch McConnell announces he will step down from a leadership position in the Senate in November… DUH!!  The greatest likelihood is that President Trump will win the November election; Mitch doesn’t have an option at that point.  So, what we are seeing is DeceptiCon positioning. It’s all about power retention, which is to say, retention of money and influence.

John Thune has been groomed to replace Mitch McConnell for years.  You might remember when Thune contemplated retiring a few years ago, and the professional donors convinced him to stay on “just in case” Trump returned to DC.

Thune’s recent endorsement of Trump is like Brutus welcoming Caesar back to Rome, the intents are analogous.  McConnell will exit Senate leadership after the November election, Thune will rise, and the anti-Trump antagonisms will continue.  Senators Barrasso and Cornyn will position to participate in the process.

Removing the stench of McConnell and his DeceptiCon crew from the Senate means much more than just removing Mitch McConnell from leadership.  The apparatus of the Senate needs to be purged with solid primary contests to take down the power structure.  Purge the crew, then salt the entire upper chamber, then bring in an exorcist and fill every room with sage smoke for a week…. or something.

Don’t fall for the trickery…. McConnell isn’t stepping down because it’s in Trump’s best interests.  McConnell is stepping down as part of a strategy to oppose the America First agenda that Trump represents.
