Chuck Todd was removed and replaced as the anchor of NBC’s Meet The Press. Todd was replaced by the culturally correct Kristen Welker, a fellow traveler from the tribe of Valerie Jarrett whose daughter Laura Jarrett is Welker’s sidekick.

If you followed the 2020 Super-Tuesday deal between Barack Obama (the Chicago Network that includes Oprah, and host of the ’24 Democrat National Convention), James Clyburn from South Carolina (now the #1 primary state for Democrats in 2024) and the Joe Biden family, then you will clearly see how the datapoints and roadmap aligns for 2024. {Go Deep} The NBC shift (Jarrett et al) was part of their corporate move in preparation for the 2024 election.

Welker kicks off her first day in the anchor chair with an interview with President Donald Trump.  The full interview is available in the video below.  The transcript of the segment that was edited and broadcast today is below the full video; there is a big difference.  WATCH: 

Transcript of Interview that aired – KRISTEN WELKER: When you talk about retribution, are you talking about directing your attorney general to try to go after your political enemies?

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:

When I talk about retribution, I’m talking about fairness. We have to treat people fairly. These people on January 6th, they went – some of them never even went into the building, and they’re being given sentences of, you know, many years.

KRISTEN WELKER:

Are you going to pardon those people –

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:

And nothing is happening.

KRISTEN WELKER:

– who’ve been convicted –

FMR. PRES. DONALD TRUMP:

Well, I’m going to look at them, and I certainly might if I think it’s appropriate. No, it’s a very, very sad thing. And it’s – they’re dividing the country so badly, and it’s very dangerous.

I’m going to build out on this in the next several days and weeks.  The reason is simple, this is the cornerstone of DC Business; it has nothing to do with legislation, lawmaking, or the other reference points we retain in the illusion of modern politics.  It’s going to get ugly!

CTH often describes the background DC motives with the phrase: “There are Trillions at Stake.”  Here we take a look at what that really means, and how DC politics is not quite based on the ideas that frame many reference points.

With people taking notice of DC politics for the first time, and with people not as familiar with the purpose of DC politics, we end up within two different references. Perhaps it is valuable to reset the larger frames of reference and provide clarity.

I’ve been talking about this for well over a decade, and we have had this conversation on these pages for just as long. However, in this video Bill Gurley brings some modern receipts. WATCH: 

Most people think when they vote for a federal politician -a House or Senate representative- they are voting for a person who will go to Washington DC and write or enact legislation. This is the old-fashioned “schoolhouse rock” perspective based on decades past.  There is not a single person in Congress writing legislation or laws.

In modern politics, not a single member of the House of Representatives or Senator writes a law, or puts pen to paper to write out a legislative construct. This simply doesn’t happen.

Over the past several decades a system of constructing legislation has taken over Washington DC that more resembles a business operation than a legislative body.

Here’s how it works right now.

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.”

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

Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, this is either a coincidence… or… yikes!

LEFT, Adrian Paul Aispuro – RIGHT, Emma Coronel Aispuro 

The potential assassin who was stopped by RFK Jr security has been identified. His name is Adrian Paul Aispuro (44).  {link} Keep in mind the incident happened on Thursday Sept 14, and the potential assassin had a U.S. Marshals badge.

One day earlier, Sept 13th, Mexican Cartel Leader El Chapo’s wife was released from federal prison. “We can confirm Emma Coronel Aispuro released from the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) today, September 13, 2023.” {link}

The Biden administration had denied Robert Kennedy Jr Secret Service protection, likely because the Biden administration would like to see RFK Jr eliminated any way possible.  On Thursday night, RFK Jr’s personal security confronted a very dangerous man posing as a U.S. Marshal and trying to get close to the candidate.

I am not a Kennedy supporter, far from it.  However, there is no valid and intellectually honest reason for stopping RFK Jr from having Secret Service protection.

Given the nature of what his family has encountered by assassination efforts, from both the private sector and U.S. government, Robert Kennedy Jr deserves weighted consideration for security. No one, especially given the nature of the history here, deserves to carry the worry of being killed, just because they are running for office. Hopefully, this example will put pressure on the Biden administration to change their mind.

(VIA MSM) – A man was arrested at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.‘s campaign event Thursday night in Los Angeles, California.

Kennedy shared the man’s photo on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a caption that described him as carrying “shoulder holsters with loaded pistols and spare ammunition magazines,” “a U.S. Marshal badge on a lanyard, and beltclip federal ID.” While the Los Angeles Police Department has him in custody, his identity has not been revealed. (read more)

Kennedy said on social media that the man identified himself as part of his security detail and was wearing “two shoulder holsters with loaded pistols when he approached the candidate at a Hispanic heritage event.” The suspect, who has not been identified, was wearing a replica badge and was impersonating a U.S. Marshal, police said. Police did not say what the man was charged with.

There are 12 Democrats and 19 Republicans in the Texas Senate.  The majority of the article votes were 16 to 14 in favor of acquittal [SEE HERE].

As reflected throughout the impeachment trial, the majority of the accusations came from establishment “Bush” Republicans in Texas who hold tenuous power over the state Republican apparatus.  All of the Democrats in the Texas Senate were more than willing to support the backroom Republican effort.  However, attorney Tony Buzbee did a masterful job deconstructing the rumors and innuendo that surrounded the majority of the allegations.

By the end of the two week impeachment trial, the Republicans in Texas were too exposed to maintain their original intent to remove Paxton.  The truth overwhelmed the false GOPe narrative, and that created a problem for the Texas Republicans who are, for all intents and purposes, identical to Texas Democrats. This is one of the reasons why national Democrats are so confident they can turn Texas blue in a short period of time.

Remember, Democrats want power – Republicans want money.  The events in Texas are a case study in this dynamic. Most of the Texas Republicans don’t care what happens ideologically, as long as they can be compensated for allowing the Democrats to dictate the state outcomes of political power.  There is an awakening happening in Texas amid the base voters who continue to elect professional Republicans; however, it is unknown whether the uniparty dynamic has become too systemic to change.

Personally, after visiting several areas of Texas, I do not see much hope for them to remain a reliably red state.  The only thing that might save Texas are the conservative Latinos who don’t want the social issues that accompany Democrat control. The non minority, or white Republican voters in Texas, have been gaslit by the Republican political class (Bush Inc.) for so long, they cannot see what is looming over the horizon.

The truth doesn’t care about your feelings.  What I described is the reality in Texas, and it’s exactly the reason why I continue to warn residents of Florida about following the agenda of the DeSantis tribe.

Ken Paxton was interviewed by Tucker Carlson this week and will broadcast next week.

You might ask, why is the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) in the business of conducting widescale surveillance, monitoring and tracking of American citizens.

Unfortunately, if you are asking that question, then you likely don’t know the first, fourth and fifth amendment to the U.S. constitution were usurped by the 2001 Patriot Act.

George W Bush and Dick Cheney created the domestic surveillance system under the auspices of DHS and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.  Barack Obama and Joe Biden then took that DHS surveillance system and modified the dials (Justice Dept., FBI) so the surveillance only applied to their ideological enemies.

If you have followed my outlines on this issue [Category Here], you will note exactly where this latest development falls on the continuum.   The 2024 election is right around the corner. Previously I stated the artificial intelligence (AI) component to the internet surveilllance system was going to launch toward the end of this year.  Well, DHS has just announced exactly that [SEE HERE].

I find it very interesting the DHS memo was issued on August 8th, but only published for the general public yesterday.  July and August were when I first identified AI spider crawls were already underway.  Pay very, very close attention to the two underlined words in the following paragraph:

[SOURCE pdf, Page 3]

Take out the word “improper” and the admission is, DHS uses AI to profile, target and discriminate.  In the second sentence, DHS currently participates in systemic, indiscriminate and/or large-scale monitoring, surveillance, or tracking of individuals.  The only thing those sentences in the paragraph say, is that DHS will not allow AI to create improper outcomes within a system they outline that already exists.

Stop and reread that last sentence as much as needed.  Inasmuch as this DHS guidance is telling us the rules for Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as they use AI, they are also outlining what current processes of surveillance would be enhanced by it.

DHS’ AI task force is coordinating with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on how the department can partner with critical infrastructure organizations “on safeguarding their uses of AI and strengthening their cybersecurity practices writ large to defend against evolving threats.”

What are those critical infrastructure organizations?  They include voting systems.  Who or what are those evolving threats?  You!
