Gee, who woulda thunk? A couple of data points to highlight the construct of something we have predicted for a year. Those who control the illusion of choice within each club, RNC and DNC, have always looked to be constructing a 2024 outcome where Gavin Newsom competes against Ron DeSantis.

During an interview with the Fox News Channel aired on Monday’s broadcast of “Special Report,” 2024 Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that there are two standards of justice, and “Donald Trump was President for four years. This problem got worse under him. He did not succeed in draining the swamp.” DeSantis also predicted that Trump would have a “very difficult time getting the type of personnel to join the administration that you would need” to take down the administrative state.DeSantis said, “Well, this is why we say there [are] two standards of justice. If Hunter were a...

It’s not terribly surprising that Donald Trump wants to tear that system down. His idol, after all, is Andrew Jackson, who championed the “spoils system” as a populist revolt against the emergence of a cadre of professional administrators who remained in federal offices for multiple administrations. But for all his talk of “clearing the swamp” and replacing “deep state” civil servants with his own loyal supporters, Trump didn’t make destruction of the civil-service system a key first-term priority. It wasn’t until October 2020 that he issued an executive order creating a new Schedule F classification of political appointees to include...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wis.), a longtime critic of former President Donald Trump, said that she has not ruled out a 2024 bid for president. “I’m not making any announcements today,” she said while speaking at an event at the Mackinac Policy Conference in Michigan, adding: “I am really focused on making sure that Donald Trump isn’t anywhere close to the Oval Office.” Cheney was on the House select committee that probed the Jan. 6 attacks on the Capitol and has voiced her criticism for the former president’s involvement in the attacks. She also said that she will campaign against...

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump did not accomplish draining the swamp or securing the border. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “If you think that culture war issues are too much of a focus for candidates like DeSantis or Trump, what do you think they should be focusing on? What would you, theoretically, if you decide to run, focus on?

Americans don’t have rule of law when their institutions are corrupted against them. Republicans aren’t “draining the swamp” unless they drain the FBI. Special Counsel John Durham published a long-anticipated report last week chronicling severe abuses of power by deep-state FBI officials who ran a years-long campaign to frame former President Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The 306-page report outlined how the FBI relied on baseless fabrications commissioned by the Hillary Clinton campaign to construct the entire narrative for its investigation known as “Crossfire Hurricane,” in which the Obama-era Justice Department conducted illegal surveillance on American citizens in an...

Former US President Donald Trump has said he’ll bring back his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, if he wins another four years in the White House in 2024, The Hill reported on Sunday. “I will say, General Flynn, he’s some general. He’s some man. He took abuse like nobody could have handled, and he came out bigger, better, stronger than ever before,” Trump was quoted as having said via phone to the “ReAwaken America” rally. “He’s a leader, and you just stay wealthy and healthy and well, and everything. I want you to have great lives and, General, you...

One hypothesis for why Fox News fired popular television commentator Tucker Carlson is because he had been badmouthing company officials. But are top executives for a major U.S. corporation so sensitive to personal criticism that they’re willing to ditch their most popular commentator for saying some bad things about them? That’s hard to believe. Another hypothesis is that Carlson was also saying bad things about Fox News colleagues. That too doesn’t make much sense to me. Doesn’t that sort of thing go on in most large companies? It’s called human nature. Again, it doesn’t seem serious enough to can the...

Hoffman, 55, has told New York Magazine‘s Kara Swisher: “The short answer is I will spend as much as I possibly can and it takes and is effective [to beat Trump].” This could involve aiding other GOP primary candidates, reports Puck News, to the point where Hoffman and his cohorts are investigating state primary rules, as well as the idea of supporting anti-Trump, right-leaning media. The issue was discussed at length in a late March podcast by the new, D.C.-based news site. While Hoffman has demurred on specifically endorsing a Republican candidate, claiming “I’m almost certainly in the Biden camp,”...

Now it’s Glen Youngkin. Virginia Governor Youngkin said in a release on Tuesday that he will lead a Virginia delegation to Taipei City, Taiwan, Tokyo, and Seoul, South Korea, from April 24-29.Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, John Bolton, Asa Hutchinson, Glen Youngkin… The Republican wing of the UniParty is throwing everything possible and pulling every level within their control, including last night’s outcome in Wisconsin, in order to retain the illusion of political parties as the source/solution within a nation collapsing.None of what DC Democrats, Republicans, the RNC or DNC presents is true or real within the landscape of the conflict...

President Donald Trump set the patriotic hearts of Americans ablaze on Saturday night during stirring remarks delivered in Waco, Texas to a crowd of thousands of freedom-loving citizens at a 2024 campaign rally.“Either the DEEP STATE destroys America or WE destroy the DEEP STATE – that’s the way it’s got to be,” Trump said.He preceded his powerful comments by vowing to fight for the American people, promising to be their voice and their “warrior.” President Donald J.

The U.S. government has been funneling taxpayer money to the left-wing group bankrolling protests against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Israeli funding documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. The documents indicate that, since 2020, Foggy Bottom has sent over $38,000 to the Movement for Quality Government (MQG), the Israeli nonprofit stoking nationwide anti-Netanyahu protests that have seen protesters clash with police and target Netanyahu’s family members. MQG is seeking to takedown Netanyahu’s government over his support for major reforms to the Israeli supreme court that would significantly limit its power. The organization petitioned Israel’s Supreme Court earlier...

The New York Times published a blockbuster report on Saturday that details massive nationwide child labor horrors taking place because of Joe Biden opening the border to unaccompanied children in 2021 after President Trump fought hard to shut down child trafficking. The children are working to pay off their debts to cartel traffickers and their sponsors here, as well as to send remittances to their families back home. The Times found children working in factories and plants of major American companies and their suppliers across the country. “Migrant child labor benefits both under-the-table operations and global corporations, the Times found....

After years of being a mediocre swimmer on the men’s team, Thomas woke up one morning and identified as transgender, transitioned, joined the women’s team, and started breaking records against his female teammates and tournament competitors. Since robbing real women of opportunities wasn’t enough for him, he also disrespected his teammates by exposing his male genitalia to them in the locker room. And now, Riley Gaines, a former teammate of Thomas, is calling for changes to be made by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). “We were not forewarned beforehand that we would be sharing a locker room with Lia....

Mike Lindell was on the War Room with Steve Bannon when he went off on Ron DeSantis and the Dominion lawyer he’s palling with. ..... Snip...... Lindell went about destroying Ron DeSantis for aligning himself with Dominion over the American voter. He hosted…six lawyers or so in this little round table. Well, one of them is Libby Locke [Elizabeth “Libby” Locke] who represents Dominion Voting Machines against Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani and many others. And he called her in this opening statement when he introduced her. “Libby is an extrodinare at First Amendment defamation law.” Well, I’m telling you Ron...

The special counsel created by Biden’s corrupt Attorney General Merrick Garland is the right thing to do by the wrong gang of criminals. Kash Patel joined Steve Bannon on the War Room and he laid it all on the table. He shared: A special counsel on paper is the right move and it would have been back in November but the problem is we’ve seen the corrupt government gangsters go out and cover up the corrupt activities. Namely the likes of Rod Rosenstein, Chris Wray and Merrick Garland. ... Remember Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller, Comey’s best friend to be Special...

The Biden administration is apparently looking to ban gas stoves, calling them a “hidden danger”. But while that sounds bad enough, a deeper dive shows – as usual – it’s not really about what they say it’s about. Talk of banning gas stoves and “unregulated indoor air quality” could be a Trojan horse designed to get even more “smart” monitoring technology into your home. Let’s jump in.
