I get it; truly, I understand. The important part is the last element noted.

Do not give power to the dark imaginings; pray to the source of the only pure truth.  Live your best life, boldly.  Resolve yourself; lead, protect with great intensity; stand firm against all of it in any measure of your capability.

Smile.

Be relentlessly affirmed in your mental resolve.  Remember, you control your thoughts and focus.

I Wish I Never Found You…

…”It was easier being in the dark. Whoever you are, man, your analysis regularly blows my mind. I’m unable to poke holes in anything you write. You make me feel smarter, but in fact I’m simply better informed. Since Rush passed, you have provided the clearest vision and I wish you had his reach.

It’s interesting to note that I’m not Christian and I see it’s a major source of your inspiration. To me, Christianity is bunk, and historically the church has been unkind to my people, to say the least. However, when those who use it as a spiritual guide to the path of righteousness, I have great respect. That’s you, Sundance. Regardless of the path, we both seek the same destination. The truth.

Every day I read your web page and more often than not, I get upset and then have to calm myself so as not to disrupt my home. Few want to know what’s really happening because it’s too painful, too unbelievable.

Because I read a tremendous amount of history books, I have too much perspective, I fear for the future, and I can’t look away. This parallels the Bolshevik/Mao Revolutions in unsettling ways. I have 20 good years left if I’m lucky, and just trying to stumble to the finish.

If 20 years ago someone said that:

According to several media sources, and the principals themselves, the RNC has threatened both Chris Christie and Vivek Ramaswamy if they appear together on a Fox News broadcast.

The issue for the RNC is that both candidates would be running “afoul of their pledge to only participate in sanctioned debates.”

“Christie, the former New Jersey governor, and Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur, were set to appear simultaneously on FNC’s “Special Report” evening news program. However, both candidates said RNC officials warned them doing so would run afoul of their pledge to only take part in sanctioned debates — and rule them out of the Nov. 8 showdown in Miami.” (MORE)

The private corporation known as the Republican National Committee, will not accept or allow unapproved candidate appearances.  OK, you accept that as the baseline for the next part?

Now consider:  “FOX News Channel’s Sean Hannity will moderate a red vs. blue state debate between Florida Gov. and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, FOX News Media announced Monday.”

RNC has no issue with DeSantis -v- Newsom.  RNC approves and sanctions DeSantis -v- Newsom.

Modern American politics is a corporate control operation.  The Republican wing of that private, corporately controlled operation is affirmed by constructing the illusion of choice.  The illusion of choice requires strict control mechanisms.  The RNC is the control mechanism.

Can you see it now?

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is the controlled operative, the installed end point of the funnel in this equation.

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 †

According to multiple DC media sources, a quiet effort is underway by members of the professionally republican mindset to kick Matt Gaetz out of the House Republican caucus.  However, the advocates worry they will be primaried by voters in their district, as the population of Republican voters supports Gaetz.  It is a duplicitous dynamic.

Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy has told his Republican conference that despite prior statements, he will not attempt to become the House Speaker again and will instead retire to his home district in California.

No one is quite sure what comes next; what is clear is that Gaetz has channeled the frustration of the Republican/MAGA base into an actionable result.  This should not come as a surprise to the GOPe, although many of the cloistered clan continue pretending not to understand the dynamic at play.

Allow me to provide some simple clarity.

♦ In 2009 72% of the country, and an even larger percentage of the Republican voters, did not want Obamacare.  The govt takeover of healthcare was along purely ideological grounds.  For the 2010 midterm election, the professional Republican apparatus campaigned on this single issue – repeal Obamacare.  The voters destroyed the Democrats and flipped 67 seats to Republican control.  The professional Republicans wanted the House, frustrated American voters gave it to them.

The Republicans did nothing.

♦ In 2012, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and asked to begin a process of taking down the Democrat control of the Senate. Remember, it was a 60/40 Senate when the Obamacare boondoggle was begun.  Keep the House, help us take Senate seats, and we will repeal Obamacare and balance the budget.  That was the call of the 2012 professional Republicans.  The voters delivered.  The GOPe kept the house, took 6 seats in the Senate and introduced a wave of fresh Republican blood.

The Republicans did nothing.

♦ In the 2014 midterm election, the professional Republicans campaigned on retaining the House and now flipping the Senate with more GOP seats.  Keep the House, give us the Senate majority, and we will repeal Obamacare and deliver a balanced budget.  The voters again delivered.  Beginning in January 2015, the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate majorities for Obama’s last two years.

The Republicans did nothing.

Worse still, even with professional Republican control of both chambers of congress, President Obama never had to use his veto pen.

President Trump delivered remarks to the assembled media in New York City on day two of the civil proceedings against his business interests in New York.

The essential and key point raised by President Trump in his remarks below, is something we have noted and emphasized. All the banks and lenders did their own due diligence on financing terms with Donald Trump.  All operational loans and Trump Org. business loans were paid back.  There were no defaults or banking interests adversely impacted. There are no victims of what the State calls “fraud,” yet this judge is ruling the Trump organization must dissolve all business interests in the state and exit within 10 days.

New York Attorney General Latisha James campaigned for office with promises to target the Trump Organization and Donald Trump himself.  This is malicious Lawfare in the extreme and regardless of this specific judge’s rulings, the appellate division is likely to intervene.  WATCH:

Additionally, Judge Arthur Engoron admonished President Trump for posting information on his social media account critical of court clerk Allison Greenfield.

“Personal attacks on members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them in any circumstances. Consider this statement a gag order forbidding all parties from posting, emailing or speaking publicly about any of my staff,” Engoron said. “Failure to abide by this order will result in serious sanctions.”

In a historic first the House of Representatives has voted to remove Kevin McCarthy from his position as Speaker of the House.

Kevin McCarthy is officially removed.

[SOURCE]

WASHINGTON DC – Democrats joined with Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and his small group of conservative allies to vote to strip Kevin McCarthy of his gavel Tuesday. It’s unclear who would succeed McCarthy long term, though his allies expect he will try to run for speaker again.

Eight Republicans voted against McCarthy: Reps. Eli Crane (Ariz.), Ken Buck (Colo.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Matt Rosendale (Mont.), Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Bob Good (Va.), Nancy Mace (S.C.) and Tim Burchett (Tenn.).

Three House leaders have been floated as potential long-term replacements: Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.). All three have disavowed any interest in replacing McCarthy — a reality that could change now that the Californian is officially out. (read more)
