Mike Pence Says He Will Not Vote for Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on March 15, 2024 | Sundance

Playing the role of the faithful corporate republican, former Vice-President Mike Pence appears on Fox News today to advocate for the nation state of Israel and disparage President Donald Trump.

One does not need to be a deep weeds political follower to understand the motives of Pence and how they relate to his corporate republican alignment.  The Wall Street, Sea Island group who operate in the multinational financial world, in combination with the professional political class who organize both wings of the UniParty system are diametrically opposed to President Donald Trump.  This is Mike Pence’s tribe, and his influence and affluence are dependent on his association.  WATCH:

.

There’s a sense of disgust, a genuine dislike of people who hold the personality traits of Mike Pence.  President Donald Trump really did become a touchstone to reveal the deep rot within our USA body politic.  In the Trump era we see just how horrid and corrupt the system is.

If you stand back and think about it, more people voted for President Trump than any republican in history; a man who has withstood some of the most vicious and vitriolic attacks in history.  Yet, here stands the sanctimonious Mike Pence declaring himself as the arbiter of all things republican.  I dislike these people immensely.

Michigan High Court Rules President Trump Cannot be Kept Off Republican Primary Ballot


Posted originally on the CTH on December 27, 2023 | Sundance

Leftist groups are apoplectic knowing the 2020 ballot fraud will be almost impossible to execute again in 2024. As a consequence, they have dropped to multiple vectors of defense including the filing of lawsuits under a stretched Lawfare provision of the 14th Amendment.

The radicals claim the Constitutional Amendment disqualifies certain current public officials who are defined as participating in an insurrection. The leftist claim questioning fraudulent results in a manipulated national ballot harvesting operation, is akin to an insurrection.

Questioning a leftist worldview is violence, but violence from leftists is free speech.

President Trump, the overwhelming majority of Americans and courts -sans Colorado- has dismissed the lawsuits as politically motivated. Today, a Michigan high court dismissed another attempt by the far left to keep President Trump from the Republican primary ballot.

In a brief order {pdf HERE}, the Michigan Supreme Court rejected an appeal over a lower court’s decision that parties can place whichever candidates they choose on presidential primary ballots. The justices were “not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court,” according to the order.

(Politico) – Michigan’s highest court said Wednesday that Donald Trump can appear on the state’s Republican primary ballot, but the court declined to weigh in for now on whether Trump is eligible to run in the general election and serve again as president.

The court turned away an appeal from Michigan voters who argue that Trump should be barred from the ballot because of his efforts to subvert the 2020 election and stoke violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The voters cite a provision of the 14th Amendment that, in some circumstances, bars people from holding public office if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion.”

[…] “The Secretary of State’s role in presidential primary elections is chiefly that of an administrator,” the Michigan Court of Appeals wrote. “In particular, when it comes to who is or is not placed on the primary ballot, the statutory scheme leaves nothing to the Secretary of State’s discretion.”

In a statement following Wednesday’s order from the Michigan Supreme Court, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, said she was “gratified” the state judiciary upheld her office’s approach of not striking Trump from the primary ballot. She has argued in the past that she lacked the authority to do so procedurally.

The challengers vowed to try to knock Trump off the general election ballot, should he ultimately receive the GOP nomination. (read more)

Hey, Why Not – Trump VP and Expanded Cabinet


posted originally on the CTH on December 26, 2023 | Sundance 

Apparently, the exercise of considering a Trump administration and potential cabinet for 2025 has kicked up quite a conversation.  As an outcome, perhaps some expanded food for thought is worthwhile, and maybe even a little fun and educational at the same time.

I come at this discussion as a person who continually tries to navigate the mechanics of the silo system in Washington DC.  Additionally, many of the positions at the top of the silos, what we would consider cabinet members, have various levels of influence from ‘moderate‘ to ‘none at all‘ depending on the construct of the individual agency (silo).

As an outcome, the nuts and bolts of what we want to see happen, let’s call that generally ‘elimination of political corruption’, are slightly disconnected from how it is possible to happen given the nature of how each institutional silo is constructed.

Some silos are more impervious than others. Some cabinet members are more functionary than others, and in some instances, the deputy is more important than the primary.

To get deep in the weeds, we need to understand each silo as a completely autonomous operation; holding various levels of attachment to the overall DC system depending on how the silo is structured and, in some cases, weaponized.

Then we need to evaluate overall skillset from a very practical, non-pretending level.  There is one shot at this, and the construct of the Trump 2.0 administration must begin with the end in mind.  That end includes accepting that one four-year term will not be enough to remove the embeds that were seeded over the course of 12 prior years.  Some systems need to be taken down to nothing, others can be steered with extreme effort by those who can operate effectively inside the machine.

The reason for a Vice-Presidential selection like Dr Ben Carson has been previously outlined {SEE HERE].  Carson appears to have the faith, stability and integrity to be a stabilizing force amid the sea of chaos that is created when war against evil enterprise begins.

The value of having a faith servant in the role of close counsellor to President Trump cannot be overstated.  If Carson is not the correct person to take the role, Carson would be the first to announce it…. which, ultimately, makes him more qualified.

Good is going to have to battle Evil, and at the same time the entire nation will need stability, optimism and a resurgence of faith.  In short, no one is winning this political war without putting God, righteousness and prayer at the forefront as the DC temple tables are turned.  When it gets ugly, and it will get extremely ugly, something just inherently tells me, Carson will rise.

Perhaps if I expand the list, a bigger understanding will be possible.

This time I shall endeavor to put context behind the names and add some specifics to the silo challenge.

♦ Secretary of State:  Ric Grenell. 

♦ UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard

The Dept of State is the front agency for the Central Intelligence Agency.  When the CIA wants to seed an operative, they are given State Dept credentials.  Whoever is running the State Dept will have a working relationship with the CIA Director.  Grenell already knows how this works; he will be able to support the Trump Doctrine on day one with a full understanding of institutional context as the downsizing through attrition begins.

♦ CIA Director: Robert Kennedy Jr

♦ Deputy CIA Director: Kash Patel

See how that works?  RFK Jr can put up or shut up, but Kash Patel is the insurance policy in the event RFK Jr is bearing false witness.  The core agenda is carried out by the Deputy, while the Director is the functionary receiving silo information to satiate the executive (Trump).  What happens in the layers below the functionary are what really matters.  Kash has eyes-on, without the distractions of the functionary role.

♦ Defense Secretary:  Vivek Ramaswamy.

♦ Asst. Defense Secretary:  Eric Prince.

Many people understandably freak out with a Def Sec with no experience in military.  However, the Def Sec is designed to be civilian led military; the President is the commander in chief.  The Def Sec executes military efforts to support the President.  This is the problem with having career military as Def Sec, they regard the institution as more important than the instructions they receive. [See Mark Milley and/or James Mattis and/or Alexander Vindman, they go rogue.]  The U.S. military needs to be managed now, brought to heel and Wokeism removed.  Ramaswamy, a functionary, can put up or shut up.

Again, see how that works?  Prince becomes the insurance policy.  The nuts-and-bolts guy to make sure the military silo is carefully reconstructed and the flag officers that need to be removed and replaced are removed and replaced.

♦ National Security Advisor: John Ratcliffe

♦ National Security Council (NSC), Chair: Michael Flynn [Tasked with taking NSC from current size to 30-50]

♦ Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary: Tom Homan 

♦ Treasury Secretary: (Executive Privilege) 

♦ Fed Chairman: (Executive Privilege)

♦ United State Trade Representative: Ambassador Robert Lighthizer [restart where he left off] 

♦ Commerce Secretary:  Peter Navarro 

♦ Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC), Chair: Lou Dobbs 

♦ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Administrator: Sarah Palin

♦ Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Commissioner:  Mike Benz

♦ Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB), Administrator: Pam Bondi

♦ Dept of Agriculture, Secretary: Kristi Noem

♦ FBI Director: Matt Gaetz / Josh Hawley

♦ Deputy FBI Director: Andrew Bailey

♦ FBI Legal Counsel: Rudy Giuliani

♦ DOJ Attorney General:  Ken Paxton

♦ DOJ Deputy AG: John Eastman

♦ Asst. Deputy AG in charge of DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD): Sidney Powell

♦ DOJ Civil Rights Division: Mark Robinson 

♦ Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI):  Rand Paul

♦ National Security Agency, Director: Thomas Massie

♦ FEMA Director: Jeb Bush  [Yes, THAT Jeb Bush.  He’s insufferable at everything else, but he knows how to handle emergency management very effectively, and he’s bilingual.]  

♦ Office of Management and Budgets (OMB), Director: Kevin Hassett

♦ Interior Secretary: Marjorie Taylor Greene

♦ WH Press Secretary: Kerri Kupec

♦ WH Communications Director: Amanda Milius

♦ White House Chief of Staff: Dan Scavino (no question), or Kari Lake

♦ White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), Director: Steve Bannon

♦ WH PPO Deputy Director: Catherine Englebrecht

Something like that….

PS. First SCOTUS nominee:  U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen

No, Donald Trump Will Never Consider Nikki Haley as VP Possibility, Here’s Why


Posted originally on the CTH on December 23, 2023 | Sundance

CBS floated some ridiculous story about President Trump asking advisors their opinion of Nikki Haley as a VP option.  That story is nonsense.  Anyone in the orbit of Donald Trump knows Nikki Haley is a nonstarter.

CBS is known as the worst news organization for making stuff up.  There is no element of their thin-gruel story [SEE HERE] that is believable.  Here’s why…

President Trump is known for remembering betrayal; he doesn’t always burn the bridge, but he never recrosses it.

Nikki Haley in February 2021: …”“I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”  (link)

Two months later, April 2021, when asked about her 2024 presidential ambitions Nikki Haley says:…”Out of respect I would never do anything to go against [Trump], he knows that. I would have a conversation with him and talk to him about it should we decide we want to pursue it; but, um, no, I have a great respect for him, and I would never consider running against him.” (link)

When Nikki Haley attempted to contact President Trump he ignored her calls.  She could not get the meeting.  She announced her intention anyway, because she was always going to announce her candidacy.   Everything structurally around her was well known as soon as she left the administration.

Use the CTH site search tool function and type in “Nikki Haley” for the results.  Take a few Snickers bars because you are going to be there a while.

Why so much focus on Nikki Haley?

For the same reason CTH focused so heavily on Mitch McConnell; these are backstabbing liars of the highest order.  These are the snakes from the poem President Trump recited quite often….

…These Haley types are the scheming DeceptiCons.  Haley has no redeeming qualities if you are well versed in understanding the manipulative intents of the conniving big government, cocktail party, Wall Street republicans.

Nikki Haley is the Mitt Romney of John McCains.

October 2019 – Nikki Haley purchased a $2.4 million home in Kiawah Island, Charleston county, South Carolina (link). Nikki Haley released her book “With All Due Respect” on November 12th (link). Mrs. Haley also took a position on the board of directors for Boeing Co, likely an extension of success for her prior efforts recruiting Boeing to the state. (link)

The board position, home purchase and book tour follows a very predictable pattern for those who follow GOPe politics closely. Indeed, there is speculation Nikki Haley was/is positioning for a 2024 presidential bid; speculation that generally aligns with the pattern.

OCTOBER 2018 – Ms. Haley comes from the political house of Prescott/Bush; hence the original Rubio support in 2016 etc. She is a political animal from the establishment wing.

Within the traditional political class, the customary approach to a White House run is to gain about five years of wealth in advance of a presidential run. Haley would be following a wealth process for a 2024 presidential run.

During this wealth accumulation period the cocktail party circuit (the billionaire crowd) will front-load wealth, purchase homes and all expenses etc, for the future candidate. This ‘Five Year Plan‘ was the same historic approach done for Ronald Reagan.

With a candidate in the private sector, the professional donor-class make investments in the candidate while it is legal to do so. The investments are made in anticipation of future influence.  This is simply how money influences politics.

With the “Me Too” movement in high political value, the currency of Nikki Haley, as an investment candidate, was at the apex in 2019.  Haley checked the right boxes; she then moved to capitalize on the process, politics and timeliness.

The U.N., as an institution, is also in alignment with the high-brow Prescott Bush clan. Ms. Nikki Haley is regarded by this clan as a very valuable commodity. If they can’t get Jeb, or another Bush (ie. Rubio) over the finish line, they will be much better positioned with investments in Nikki Haley.

Due to the increasing success of the MAGA or Trump Republican apparatus, Haley will need to carefully position herself as a stealth Decepticon and not upset the vulgarian hordes, ie. the new republican party base voter. As a smart and tactical politician Haley will invest heavily in the optics of supporting the MAGA movement.

Much like the primary of 2016 (w/ Jeb), the primary race of 2024 will determine if Haley can con enough people into not seeing her elitist Decepticon position.

The Bush clan and professional political cocktail circuit was rebuked in 2016, so we can anticipate their strategy in 2024 will be with those strategic lessons at the forefront.

Subtle Like a Brick Through a Window – CIA Outlet Approves Donald Trump Assassination


Posted on the CTH on December 4, 2023 | Sundance 

I have stayed away from this subject for eight years; however, everyone in/around U.S. politics knows the Washington Post, owned by Big Tech Amazon, is effectively the PR firm of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). No one inside the DC beltway does not understand this basic truth.

Therefore, when the husband of State Dept official Victoria Nuland, a man named Robert Kagan, writes an op-ed in the CIA newsletter, effectively calling for President Trump to receive the Julius Caesar treatment, the non-subtle message is for the CIA to repeat their Kennedy performance and kill President Trump.

As alarming as this acceptance might sound, there are no intellectually honest people who would deny it.

WaPo/CIA – Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. In 13 weeks, Donald Trump will have locked up the Republican nomination. In the RealClearPolitics poll average (for the period from Nov. 9 to 20), Trump leads his nearest competitor by 47 points and leads the rest of the field combined by 27 points. The idea that he is unelectable in the general election is nonsense — he is tied or ahead of President Biden in all the latest polls — stripping other Republican challengers of their own stated reasons for existence.

[…] Are we going to do anything about it? To shift metaphors, if we thought there was a 50 percent chance of an asteroid crashing into North America a year from now, would we be content to hope that it wouldn’t? Or would we be taking every conceivable measure to try to stop it, including many things that might not work but that, given the magnitude of the crisis, must be tried anyway?

Will those who balked at resisting Trump when the risk was merely political oblivion suddenly discover their courage when the cost might be the ruin of oneself and one’s family? (more)

A Hero’s Welcome – President Trump Upstages Nikki Haley in South Carolina at Palmetto Bowl


Posted originally on the CTH on November 25, 2023 | Sundance

President Trump knows how to deliver the political optics that diminish the competition, and his appearance at the South Carolina Palmetto Bowl did exactly that to Nikki Haley.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=rbTyfKF7f4o%3Ffeature%3Doembed

(Via Daily Mail) – [President Trump] “received a warm welcome from fans in South Carolina as he took his seat at Williams-Brice Stadium for the school’s rivalry football matchup with Clemson.

The 5-6 Gamecocks are hosting the 7-4 Tigers in the conservative-leaning state that former US President Trump won in both 2016 and 2020. But while the bulk of voters in South Carolina are Republicans, USC happens to be in Richland county, which overwhelmingly voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

However, the fans in attendance at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night still appeared pleased to see him, with footage on social media showing Trump earning cheers as he takes his seat in the stands.

The 77-year-old can be seen waving to the crowd before the Palmetto State rivalry game, where he is hoping to upstage his Republican opponent Nikki Haley on her home turf. (more)

As Politico noted, “this week’s NBC News poll had a stunning result: Trump led Biden among voters younger than 35, 46 percent to 42 percent.”

Trump Leads GOP Primary Field With 67%, Dominates Biden +8 and Harris +12


Posted originally on the CTH on November 20, 2023 | Sundance

An interesting follow-up poll from Harvard Harris [DATA HERE] shows the continued strength of the Trump MAGA base against the field of GOP/Dem candidates and useful idiots.

With Donald Trump holding a commanding 67% lead over all other GOP candidates, one must ask why they remain in the nomination process without being able to break single digits.  The answer to that question reveals their corporate agenda.

[DATA HERE]

Remarkably on page 25 of the poll the results show Kamala Harris is the most favored candidate to replace Joe Biden for the 2024 nomination.   Harris holds 24% as the replacement for the DNC nomination.

However, on page 33 of the poll, the question of Trump -vs- Harris is asked and President Trump handedly crushes Kamala Harris 52% to 40%.

Be of good cheer….  The nominee coming out of the DNC convention is unlikely to be Joe Biden.  However, as this poll reflects, even the substitute will start with an uphill battle.
