It was only a matter of time before we see why Rupert Murdoch kept Council on Foreign Relations member Maria Bartiromo on staff.  Today Ms. Bartiromo showed her GOPe bona fides with a full-throated defense of Kevin McCarthy and the effort to fund government by continuing resolution.

As the combative interview takes place, pay *CLOSE* attention to the glimpses of Ms. Bartiromo’s ¹phone that appear in her screen shot.  I will bet you a donut Kevin McCarthy was texting her in real time with instructions on what to say to Matt Gaetz.  WATCH:

Do not let it escape your notice that not a single professional Republican entity has stood up to show their support for Texas AG Ken Paxton or congratulate him on the clear and decisive impeachment victory against the corrupt UniParty system in the Lone Star state.  Not a word from The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), or any other professional Republican group.

Instead, only President Donald Trump and the overwhelming majority of the MAGA base have stood strong with Paxton – before, during and after the smear campaign to remove him.  Keep this BIG UGLY data point in mind. On the federal side, with Obama-Biden flooding the border with illegal aliens, Ken Paxton was considered a threat from both the White House and the Texas Governor, Greg Abbott.

This weekend, Ken Paxton’s awesome attorney, Tony Buzbee, appeared for a Fox News interview, after the impeachment trial, to discuss the background motives and issues that led to the ridiculous effort. WATCH:

Bring on the reckoning!

Three days ago, the DOJ filed a motion in court to quietly drop the charges against former partner of Michael Flynn, Bijan Rafiekian {DOJ pdf Link}. The initial case was created by the Muller team (Weissman) and encompassed the issue of violations to the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA). After one failed attempt at prosecution, the Mueller team turned the case over to the DOJ who were going to refile the charges. {Backstory Here} Instead, as noted, the DOJ recently dropped the case.

Why does this matter?

Hunter Biden worked as a foreign agent for Ukraine and Chinese interests.  Hunter Biden never registered under U.S. laws which require foreign agent registration to represent the interests of a foreign government or entity.  This is the same accusation that loomed over Bijan Rafiekian.  The DOJ dropped the case against Rafiekian, because they will not be charging Hunter Biden for FARA violations.  The DOJ does not want you to notice the timing.

Today, a federal grand jury indicted Hunter Biden for federal firearm violations.  [4-page pdf HERE] This will be the extent of the criminal charges filed against Hunter Biden.  Everything else will be swept under the rug. Biden will receive a soft sentence.

The larger DC narrative will now shift to Second Amendment issues, and the defense will argue the Second Amendment doesn’t disqualify drug users.  This will put the discussion on a host of Second Amendment topics, which the Biden administration will then seek to use as they advance the 2024 election narrative, and simultaneously require more rules, laws, restrictions and legislation about firearms.

Washington DC – President Joe Biden’s son is under indictment.

On Thursday, a Delaware grand jury indicted Hunter Biden on three gun-related charges, including illegally owning a firearm as a drug user and lying on a form when he allegedly bought the gun.

President Donald Trump has taken the biggest lead in the most recent Quinnipiac Poll [DATA HERE].   Oddly, the Quinnipiac results are almost identical to another poll taken by Premise polling on Sept 6th [SEE HERE].

At this point the GOPe battle against President Trump looks stunningly futile.  Team DeSantis alone has spent near $200 million so far, and he’s lost half the support they had before they spent a dime.  lol 👀  Yet, the billionaire classes of multinational donors, Wall St, corporations and other entities with vested financial interests in America-LAST, are continuing to fund the battle against Trump.

Quinnipiac – In the race for the 2024 Republican Party nomination, support for former President Donald Trump now stands at 62 percent among Republican and Republican leaning voters, slightly up from 57 percent support in August, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis receives 12 percent support, down from 18 percent support in August. In today’s poll, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy receives 6 percent support, former United Nations Ambassador and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence each receive 5 percent support, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott receives 3 percent support, and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie receives 2 percent support. All other listed Republican candidates receive less than 2 percent support. (more)

A baseline is important to frame the accurate context:

♦ Our government is controlled by corporations and financial interests who operate on an independent agenda, not in our interest. 

♦ The RNC and DNC are private clubs inside the U.S. political system, who construct the illusion of choice as directed by their benefactors (donors).

The benefactors/donors in both instances are the same entities.

This reality forms the core of the Uniparty agenda that we see surface every day in government policy that runs counter to the interests of U.S citizens and voters.  The two wings of the UniParty vulture are the RNC and DNC.  Any entity that exists outside the framework of the modern political industry, is considered a threat.

WASHINGTON POST – […] Jason Torchinsky, a partner with the Virginia law firm Holtzman Vogel, has in recent days initiated conversations about the idea of trying to disqualify Trump with a range of figures, including a Democratic secretary of state, fellow election lawyers and a retired federal judge who has helped lead the push to question Trump’s eligibility, according to multiple people familiar with the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

[…] Torchinsky’s firm has done legal work for the campaigns of former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy, as well as for Never Back Down, the political action committee promoting the presidential campaign of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Ignore the prior precedent of Attorney General Eric Holder refusing to appear before Congress and give testimony; the rules are different for Trump Republicans.

Peter Navarro refused to testify to the J6 committee.

The committee held Navarro in contempt of Congress; they forwarded the case to the corrupt Merrick Garland Dept of Justice.

The DOJ pursued the case against Navarro, and he was convicted today of two counts of contempt of Congress by a DC jury.

WASHINGTON – Peter Navarro, a former White House adviser to Donald Trump, has been found guilty on two contempt-of-Congress charges for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 select committee.

A jury returned the unanimous conviction Thursday after a four-hour deliberation, which followed a two-day trial featuring testimony from three former Jan. 6 committee staffers. Each count carries a one-year maximum sentence, and Navarro intends to appeal the verdict.

The ABC panel is jaw agape at the latest Wall Street Journal polling showing that Donald Trump has not only widened his GOP primary lead, but is also polling ahead of Joe Biden with a diverse core of American voters.

Donna Brazile is very concerned, panicked even, that young Latino and black voters are now turning their back on the Democrat machine, and while they are not supporting Republicans, they are fully supporting Donald Trump.  She won’t admit it, but this is exactly the reason why the Republican and Democrat apparatus are working together to get rid of Trump.

President Donald Trump represents the first modern political opponent to the UniParty, the illusion of distinction between the RNC and DNC.  In essence, the policies and perspectives that Donald Trump represents, form a unique contrast to the almost identical Dem/Rep dynamic.  The MAGA coalition is built of Republicans, Independents and Democrats, which is always highlighted by the largest ever support network for Republican Trump amid Latinos and Blacks.

The panel struggles with the reality of Godzilla Trump destroying the professional political class, while simultaneously the panel tries to promote and defend the customary leftist narratives.  The pearl-clutching is exceeded only by the number of fainting couches provided by the ABC production crew.

Rupert Murdoch has big sad as his Wall Street Journal outlet admits their poll looks terrible for Ron DeSantis.  [WSJ HERE] Currently with only 13% support, DeSantis’s position has collapsed since April, when WSJ showed 24% backed him.

Additionally, Chris Christie and Mike Pence are the two candidates with the highest unfavorable rating by Republican voters, -73% and -63% respectively.  Respondents show their opinion worsening mostly due to Christie and Pence position against frontrunner Donald Trump.

It looks like the Wall Street and RNC Big Club donors are now eyeing Nikki “test the wind” Haley, as the best option to try and stop Godzilla Trump. This shift likely explains why DeSantis’s campaign operative Jeff Roe was begging donors for another $50 million last week, as discovered in leaked audio from meetings with them during the high-brow events in Wisconsin.

A very bad, terrible, no good news day for Ron DeSantis today.

A $50 million Super PAC scheduled to launch in support of his campaign was forced to abandon all hope after the donors backed out, essentially saying it’s futile.   Then, moments later, the Never Back Down super PAC announced they were backing down from Super Tuesday states and halting all door knocking activity in Nevada, California, North Carolina and Texas.   The burn rate on cash was too much and no resupply.

I said last year, when few would accept my predication of a DeSantis effort, to settle into an unemotional spectator position, watch DeSantis launch and implode, then watch what happens to the financed influencer campaign as the cash runs out.

All of these interests will radically shift once the cash dries up.  That’s exactly what is going on right now.   Two stories:

(Daily Mail) – A super PAC set up to back Ron DeSantis with $50 million is closing as donors backed out – while its founder said the Florida governor’s campaign was guilty of ‘rookie s**t’ mistakes and he will now back Donald Trump.

John Thomas, a Republican strategist known as the ‘Billy the Kid of Political Battles’ set up ‘Ron to the Rescue’ in November and had secured financial commitments from mega-wealthy donors.

But he said the donors began having second thoughts after the botched DeSantis campaign launch on Twitter Spaces in May. (more)

Meanwhile, the formerly $200 million funded Never Back Down Super PAC, the group that was left carrying the brunt of the DeSantis campaign costs after relaunch, has pulled all major door knocking operations from states.   This announcement was more predictable, because we could see the burn rate on NBD being ruinously high.

In 1946, a small town of Athens, Tennessee, became a true battleground, as a siege was laid on the town jail by crowd mostly consisted of WWII veterans who decided to take justice into their own hands, as the local politics were plagued by corruption, police brutality and electoral fraud.

The political turmoil was present prior to the Second World War, when an influential political figure in from Memphis, Edward Hull “Boss” Crump, appointed Paul Cantrell as the candidate for Sheriff in 1936. Cantrell won the election in what became known as the “vote grab of 1936”.

Around that time a system of fees was introduced in the Sheriff’s office, which meant that a fee would be paid per arrest. The system proved to be very dysfunctional ― shady arrests were made, often without substantial evidence, which also included numerous fines for “drunkenness” and “fee grabbing” from tourists and travelers on a similar pretext. In a period between 1936 and 1946, it is estimated that more than 300,000 dollars amounted to these fees.

In the meantime, Cantrell ran for State Senate, leaving his trusty deputy, Pat Mansfield, in charge. The racquet worsened, and the local population was greatly displeased. After several investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice failed to make a dent in this lucrative violation of authority, the situation reached its boiling point.

During wartime, thousands of men from the McMinn County, which includes Athens, joined the fight against fascism overseas. The shortage of able men led to low criteria in employing law-enforcement officers, which often included ex-convicts with violent criminal records.
