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.”

~ Mike Vanderboegh

This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I don’t know much about this fellow, but the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, gave a fiery speech at the North Carolina Republican convention.  His remarks are well worth hearing.

Sketchy doesn’t begin to describe this DOJ narrative.

According to their press release the DOJ seized 63.7 Bitcoin (digital currency) through accessing a server in North Carolina used to enter the Bitcoin wallet password of the original hackers.  However, the DOJ still claims the “hackers” were sophisticated Russian operatives.  Meaning the “Russian Hackers” were so sophisticated they could hack a major gas pipeline, but not sophisticated enough to protect their wallet and hosted it online on a US based server?

DOJ […] approximately 63.7 bitcoins, representing the proceeds of the victim’s ransom payment, had been transferred to a specific address, for which the FBI has the “private key,” or the rough equivalent of a password needed to access assets accessible from the specific Bitcoin address. (read more)

Doesn’t this seem like either the private key wasn’t private, or the FBI was the original hacker of the pipeline?

WASHINGTON – The Department of Justice today announced that it has seized 63.7 bitcoins currently valued at approximately $2.3 million. These funds allegedly represent the proceeds of a May 8, ransom payment to individuals in a group known as DarkSide, which had targeted Colonial Pipeline, resulting in critical infrastructure being taken out of operation. The seizure warrant was authorized earlier today by the Honorable Laurel Beeler, U.S. Magistrate Judge for the Northern District of California.

President Donald Trump and former FOX News Host Bill O’Reilly, are going to hold events this December in Florida and Texas.

DETAILS – […] Dubbed “The History Tour,” President Trump will provide a never before heard inside view of his administration – which will be historical in and of itself.

“These will be wonderful but hard-hitting sessions where we’ll talk about the real problems happening in the U.S., those that the Fake News Media never mention. I will be focusing on greatness for our Country, something seldom discussed in political dialogue. If we don’t make our Country great again, we will soon no longer have a Country! I look forward to working with Bill, who right now has the #1 bestselling book, to openly discuss the real problems of our Country, and how to solve them. Additionally, it will be fun, fun, fun, for everyone who attends!” President Trump said.

“My job as a historian/journalist is to get important things on the record in a fact-based way. These conversations with the 45th President will not be boring,” Mr. O’Reilly said.

The tour opens on December 11, 2021 in Sunrise, FL at the BB&T Center and continues on December 12, then in Houston, TX on December 18, and Dallas, TX on December 19.  (Link to More Information)

The immature back-up to the installed White House occupant, Kamala Harris, held a press conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei.  At the end of the presser, Harris attempted to join Giammattei for the exit; however, the Guatemalan president had to remind Harris to return to the podium and retrieve her mask if she wanted to exit with him.

Again, more evidence the mask wearing virtue signaling is all based on theater.

It’s only racist when President Trump does it.  Today the seriously unqualified Kamala Harris delivered the same message as President Trump during a visit to Guatemala telling the people of the central American nation “do not come” to the United States.

Harris continued: “I believe, if you come to our border, you will be turned back“.   She is not sure, but it’s likely that illegal aliens will get caught, so it’s best not to do it… or something.  [Video 12:35 – Prompted]

.

The lack of professionalism and political diplomacy is stunning.  Mrs. Kamala Harris waxed philosophically, in a semi-coherent ideological ramble, for more than triple the amount of time spoken by the host nation.   The joint press conference is painful in its presented immaturity from the second in line to the office.

The crowd went wild for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during a surprise appearance at the Pepsi Gulf Coast Jam Sunday night. DeSantis briefly addressed the thousands of music lovers in the audience during what he described as “largest concert held since the COVID-19 pandemic began last year.”

Governor DeSantis blasted government officials who locked-down everyone during the COVID Plandemic saying “Florida chose freedom over Faucism” and urging members of the audience to pressure their state officials to open up and drop the mask mandate. Video’s and pictures below:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis used recent examples of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence to introduce legislation he is signing today that will “protect Florida’s higher education institutions and government from foreign influence and combat corporate espionage, keeping Florida’s intellectual property safe within the state’s boundaries.”  There are two bills being signed in coordination with the overall effort: HB 7017 and HB 1523

The announcement video below gives an excellent look into the position of DeSantis as it pertains to China, the Wuhan Virus, and the manipulative influence of the Chinese Communist Party.  If you have ten minutes, his remarks below are well worth watching.

FL GOVERNOR – […] “Make no mistake — China is a hostile foreign power, and every Governor has the responsibility to protect their education system, and every other entity within their purview, from the espionage and commercial theft undertaken by the Chinese Communist Party,” said Governor DeSantis. “While China remains the biggest threat, numerous countries are working to infiltrate our state and nation. By signing these bills today, we are taking action to ensure foreign adversaries will not have unfettered access to our schools, government, and companies. I want to thank Speaker Sprowls, President Simpson, Representatives Grall and Beltran, and Senators Diaz and Bradley for their hard work on these bills to protect Florida from these threats.” (LINK)

This is essentially a no-brainer ticket option if President Trump decides to run for the presidency in 2024.  During an interview with Stuart Varney on Fox Business, President Trump says he would definitely consider Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as a running mate should Trump decide to run again in 2024.

.

My suspicion of the shape of U.S. MAGA politics over the next two election cycles remains the same.  First, Governor DeSantis will win re-election easily next year.  Democrats will throw the Alinsky sink at him, but DeSantis is in a fantastic position for re-election; Democrats would be wasting their money… they know it.

Second, I still hold the outlook that President Trump is more likely to play the role of kingmaker in the MAGA GOP and endorse Ron DeSantis for President in 2024.  Always the showman and keeping people interested in GOP politics, which intentionally starves the Democrats from political oxygen, President Trump will likely tease this out for the next few years…. but ultimately I see an endorsement for DeSantis with a massive MAGA campaign led by Trump rallies as the final outcome.

If he chooses not to run himself, and a lot of that will be determined by the feedback he gets from the grassroots MAGA movement when the Trump rallies restart, President Trump can easily clear the road for DeSantis in 2024…. and keep clearing away any opposition to the “America First” policy objectives by being the ultimate weapon in the arsenal of DeSantis with direct confrontation toward any/all political opposition.
