Acceptance is the first step.

• If we accept or acknowledge the RNC and DNC are private corporations, existing like all other corporations to the fulfilment of their for-profit charter, to make money; and
• If we accept or acknowledge their business model is structured around people and businesses giving them money; and
• If we accept or acknowledge that in the process of raising money their interests may or may not align with the goal of those contributing to the business; and
• If we accept the history that Mitch McConnell and the RNC worked purposefully to remove the influence of the Tea Party; then
• This factually accurate statement from Steve Deace takes on a new meaning:
• (LINK)

[…] “the GOP (club) would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the [club] to it’s base.”  Electability boils down to the right kind of approved candidate.

That is an accurate context for this midterm election cycle. Factually, the income stream for the RNC improves if they have the ability to campaign against the opposition club.  The larger the outrage, the more substantial the fundraising.  The corporation makes more money in defeat, or in the minority, than it does when it wins or holds majorities.

As a result, there is a disconnect between the financial incentive of the corporation and the expressed intent of the corporation. When the RNC club wins, they have a more difficult time raising money, because people who previously contributed are now looking for results.

Combine that business model reality, with the accurate statement from Steve Deace about the club perspective of MAGA, and you begin to see the weird dynamic that surfaced in Georgia in the first week of January 2021.  Did the club want to win the two senate races?  Or was the club content to let deflated Trump voters see a lackluster club response to the 2020 election issues in Georgia, a frustration which led to wins by the opposition?

Mike Turner replaced congressman Devin Nunes as the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).  During this interview with CBS and Ed O’Keefe, Turner discusses his perspective on the DOJ/FBI raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago and the issue of publicly releasing the DOJ affidavit used to gain a search warrant.  [Transcript Here]

Ed O’Keefe carries the baton of narrative engineering on behalf of the regime, using leading questions in an effort to indict President Trump in the court of public opinion, while Mike Turner plays the customary role of a high-minded republican who is aghast, shocked and horrified by the unprofessional conduct of the former president and the institutions targeting him based on political motive.

Toward the end of the interview, O’Keefe does the familiar partisan shift in asking what Turner would do as Chairman of the HPSCI if republicans take the House.  Here Turner pledges to reverse the current committee use by Adam Schiff, vows not weaponize the committee for political purposes, and return the HPSCI back to the more important business of investigating Chinese espionage etc.  WATCH:

[Transcript] – ED O’KEEFE: Welcome back to FACE THE NATION. I’m Ed O’Keefe in this morning for Margaret Brennan. We turn now to the FBI search at former President Trump’s Florida resort. Ohio Congressman Mike Turner is the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee and he joins us this morning from Dayton, Ohio. Congressman, great to have you with us.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Alex Jones and David Frum are now on the same team. Isn’t that weird?

In the aftermath of the tragic death of Andrew Breitbart, there was a financial opening. Billionaire Robert Mercer stepped in and soon (’14) Breitbart advocated for Ted Cruz.  Over at The Washington Free Beacon, billionaire Paul Singer stepped in, Fusion GPS was contracted and WFB advocated for Marco Rubio.

Over at the Blaze financial trouble swirled, Glenn Beck leaned on Keep the Promise and advocated for Cruz. Then, post Cruz implosion, financial trouble swirled again and suddenly Trump was a lifeline.

The March ’16 Sea Island summit was unsuccessful, anxiety ruled.

Following the 2016 RNC convention the Mercer’s (Robert and Rebekah) switched allegiances and aligned with Trump. Kellyanne Conway, formerly with Cruz, joined team Trump.  Parler was created as Rebekah Mercer funded.

These are the moves of the billionaire class members within the club who utilize influence to advance objectives and self-interest. Nothing about this is surprising.

Recently, in the aftermath of a $49.3 million award, Alex Jones is on the financial ropes.  The perfect position for the purchase of influence and guess what…

(Daily Mail) InfoWars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has jettisoned his support for Donald Trump and is backing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential race.

Jones, who was recently ordered to pay $49.3 million to parents of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim in a defamation case, admitted he’s ‘pigheadedly’ supported Trump throughout the years. But, he said on his InfoWars podcast, he’s now backing DeSantis, who is ‘way better than Trump.’ (read more)

The billionaire donor board members of the RNC club have an agenda.

Remember, it’s a private club and there are billions -if not trillions- at stake.

An interesting story promoted by Rebel News, highlights the plight of an Amish farmer who operates a private market club for his products.  Because his crops, dairy and beef are not sold to the ‘general public,’ and only to those who are members of the private food club, Amos Miller contends he should not be subject to USDA regulations.

Miller’s organic farm operates on century old farming practices.  His farm uses no electricity, no tractors, no diesel, no gasoline, and he produces exceptional all natural yields which people are willing to pay top dollar to purchase.

Additionally, because Mr. Miller doesn’t use chemical fertilizer or fuel, his farm has not been impacted by the increased costs that have hit industrial farms.  He and his customers are completely unaffected by outside influence.

However, a federal judge ruled that despite his closed members-only market, he must have USDA inspectors for his beef and cattle slaughter processes.  Miller does not want to use the regulated and required pharmaceutical antibiotics, and other regulatory processes required by the USDA.  He now faces jail time and a $300,000 fine. [Rebel News Article]

While CTH is completely on the side of the Miller farm, it’s not fair to share this story without providing the alternative perspective from the side of the regulatory agencies.

Amid a lengthy op-ed published in The Hill, you will find this paragraph:

[…] “Although the Biden administration has successfully rallied U.S. allies and provided substantial military assistance, including this month, to Ukraine’s valiant armed forces, it has failed to produce a satisfactory strategic narrative which enables governments to maintain public support for the NATO engagement over the long term.” (link)

Doesn’t that paragraph basically say Biden hasn’t been doing enough to produce good propaganda to keep the public interested?

The signatories of the op-ed are a veritable who’s who of U.S. foreign policy intervention, including the same crew involved in the first Trump impeachment effort.

Apparently, they are losing World War Reddit.
