There have been some subtle shifts in the carefully managed self-brand and personal presentations of First Lady Melania Trump as the 2024 presidential campaign enters the critical ferocity and consequence phase.

Following the death of her mother Amalija Knavs, Melania became the stabilizing force for her father, Viktor, in grief. It was a painful time while President Trump was absent and tied up on courtrooms in New York. However, that was the spiteful leftist plan all along – target President Trump’s life and create chaos.

In essence, Melania Trump was/is living amid a world of collateral damage, the chaos created by hatred targeting everyone around her. That scenario with President Trump confined in New York, set the stage to understand a key moment later when Barron Trump stood up at a Doral MAGA Rally.  President Trump hinted the moment when he asked Barron to stand, was the introduction of his son to the world of politics; perhaps even including Barron joining the campaign trail.

That moment in Doral was followed by an announcement that Barron would be joining his brother, Donald Trump Jr, as a delegate from Florida to the RNC convention in Milwaukee. However, two days after the FL GOP selected and announced Barron, 18, to be an at-large delegate, Melania Trump’s office said he “regretfully declines to participate due to prior commitments.”

¹Melania put her well-heeled foot down and said, “no” to Barron being pulled into the world of politics.  This was the first sense of a shift, followed by the absence of Barron during the entire RNC convention; meanwhile, Melania appeared for the final night only.

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.”

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 †

CTH has long said the biggest battle would be the ugliest.  Indeed, having spent decades following GOP politics we know exactly what the professional republicans are capable of doing.

The Democrats are wicked, conniving and horrible; the Republicans are devious, cunning and deceitful.  Both wings of the UniParty are evil, but Democrats attack you straight on, while Republicans whisper in your ear to make you kill yourself.

It’s that last part about how Republicans operate with hatred, that should make every person pause each time they hear a new element announced.  Pause and ask, “how can the GOP use this information to hurt me,” because I guarantee that is what they will do every time.

There is no scenario where the professional republican apparatus will accept Donald Trump and us MAGA supporters.  Failing to remember this is akin to trusting a republican never-trumper.

As you remind yourself that Judge Merchan has announced his waiting until after the November election before the sentencing of “guilty” Donald Trump, the very tribal group that consists of Ron DeSantis and RFK Jr supporters, donors, etc., are positioning for the consequence.

Senator Tom Cotton appears on the CNN show State of The Union with Dana Bash.  Apparently, the joint U.S. State Dept./CNN production team in control of setting election year objectives have decided to resuscitate the “Russia, Russia, Russia” election conspiracy.

After an initial question about Liz and Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris, CNN host Dana Bash then spent the next several minutes questioning Tom Cotton about reports that Russia is funding various alternative information podcasters and pundits.

Perhaps by now everyone should know the Russian government laugh at how the U.S. media push the ridiculous accusations about Russian interference.  The Russians know how to snark toward the U.S. government as controlled by Democrats.  This insufferable election interference narrative gives the Moscow gremlins a lot of smiles, as they look upon the proverbial western media selling a story that to them is quite funny.

Senator Cotton does a good job refuting the claims by CNN; however, it is worthwhile remembering that outside of the USA the majority of the world look upon CNN as the “state news” distribution for Washington DC.  The propagandists questioning Senator Cotton about propaganda is a case study in gaslighting and the manipulation of information.  WATCH:

President Trump sends out a “cease and desist” message that absolutely nails the institutional origin of the voter fraud process as it is permitted and facilitated. Although slightly using a coded message, within the spelling, punctuation and pertinence, the identification “DoJ” is transparently clear. I hope everyone can see it.

[SOURCE]

The identification of the DoJ as the primary institutional silo that permits voter fraud is keenly accurate.  That same institutional silo has the capability to stop voter fraud by prosecuting all of the public-private officials and NGO’s who participate in the process.

Main justice facilitates voter fraud through a subsidiary of secondary divisions (sub-silos) within the main institution.  The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is a critically compromised agency and must be addressed accordingly in order to confront the weaponized bureaucracy underneath the leadership level.

This is why the Attorney General position is so critical in 2025.  Prior context below.
