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 †

Just a quick reminder on the data that aligns around Robert F Kennedy Jr and the 2024 race.

Again, I will state emphatically, as I have from the outset, that almost all of RFK Jr’s support comes from voters aligned with Donald Trump.   RFK Jr is the IC splitter.  As a consequence, my long-held suspicion is that RFK Jr is working for the Intelligence Community.  In July of 2023, during his interview with James O’Keefe, my suspicion became a working thesis {SOURCE}.  That interview was full of tradecraft.

Later, in October of 2023, RFK Jr admitted his appearance in the race was intended more toward taking votes from President Trump than it was taking votes from Joe Biden {SOURCE}.  General election polling that surfaced thereafter, confirmed what RFK Jr had stated; he pulls more votes from Donald Trump than from Democrats {SOURCE}.

In a transparent attempt to stop the black voter gains to Trump, RFK Jr took the position of full support for black reparations {SOURCE}.  Few people saw that for what it was. Kennedy trying to mitigate the damage that Donald Trump does to the Democrat coalition.

Every move that RFK JR makes is clouded in plausible deniability.  However, if you look at the sum total of all the policy moves together, you can clearly see his target is to fracture the Trump support. {SOURCE} The Silicon Valley types were solidly in the RFK Jr camp, until the assassination attempt against President Trump failed.  Almost immediately, they jumped in unison from Kennedy to Trump.

I’ve been watching this RFK Jr pattern as I did with the Ron DeSantis background operation in 2021.  There are multiple aspects in the support network that parallel each other.

We suspected they would go too far, because that’s what the left always does.  Once their pop-narrative enters the entire tribe of progressives, the various factions within it always try to one-up each other and highlight their support.  It’s like watching a branding effort for 7-minute-abs, 6-minute-abs, no… hold on, wait…  Yes, 5-minute-abs!

According to Marquette University Kamala “Brat” Harris is now solidly ahead of the orange man by something like four-hundred-eleventy-five points and 3 billion ballots.

MEDIA – Kamala Harris has opened up an eight-point lead over Donald Trump, according to a stunning new poll. Among likely voters, Harris is on 50 percent and Trump 42 percent, the Marquette Law School Poll published on Wednesday found. (LINK)

Trump just put out this compilation of Kamala Harris *attempting* to speak off script

Seriously, just laugh at it.  There’s absolutely nothing there.  Ridicule is the best weapon against this silly propaganda.

Machiavelli said, “It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage than a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institution and merely lukewarm defenders in those who gain by the new ones.”  A prescient and oft repeated quote that is pertinent to the situation.

When our founders created the system of government for our constitutional republic, they built in layers of protection from federal control over the lives of people in the states.  Over time those protections have been eroded as the federal bureaucracy has seized power.  One of the biggest changes that led to the creation of the permanent political class was the 17th amendment.

Our founders created a system where Senators were appointed by the state legislatures.  In this original system the senate was bound by obligation to look out for the best interests of their specific states.  Under the ‘advise and consent‘ rules of Senate confirmation for executive branch appointments, the intent was to ensure the presidential appointee -who would now carry out regulatory activity- would not undermine the independent position of the states.

The nucleus of corruption amid every element of the federal institutions of government is the United States Senate.   The U.S. Senate, also known as the “upper chamber,” is the single most powerful elected element in modern federal government.

The Intelligence Branch is the most powerful branch of government.  However, the U.S. Senate is the most powerful assembly of federally elected officials.  We pretend the IC branch doesn’t exist; that’s part of our problem.  At least we admit the Senate exists.

All other elected federal corruption is dependent on a corrupt and ineffective Senate.  If we correct the problems with the Senate and reconnect the representation within the chamber to the state-level legislative bodies, we will then see immediate change.  However, there would be ZERO institutional allies in this effort.

I’m only posting this because there are so many voices that keep talking about Donald Trump needing some version of Steve Bannon to assist him in the election or White House.

This screengrab is from Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast.   Do you guys know who Chip Roy and Steve Deace are?

Chip Roy (left) – Steve Deace (right) 

These two represent the opinions, sentiments, thoughts, perspectives and insights of all the people with alligator emojis in their bios.  These are the Cruz Crew members in 2016, who turned into the knuckleheads for Ron DeSantis in 2024.

Maybe, just maybe, Steve Bannon doesn’t have any idea what the alligator emojis are doing to his brand 😂.  Or, maybe he does, and this is just another blazing alert flare warning that people will reconcile away – because retention of a false belief is easier than acceptance of a reality that makes us uncomfortable.

Earlier today, President Trump gave a press conference from Mar-a-Lago in Florida.  Unlike the Kamala/Walz heavily controlled and scripted relationship with their allies in media, President Trump and JD Vance will take any/all questions regardless of topic.

President Trump delivered some short remarks then stood in front of the media and took questions from the assembled press pool for over an hour.  WATCH:
