DOJ Announces Sending Election Enforcement Division to 64 Counties in 24 States to Ensure Correct Votes for Biden Regime
November Posted originally on the conservative tree house on 7, 2022 | Sundance
In foreign countries when the ruling government sends federal police or military agents of the regime in power to “monitor elections,” U.S. politicians and media call it intimidation, corruption and election fraud. When Joe Biden sends federal police to monitor elections, U.S. politicians and media call it “protecting democracy.” The process is identical.
Comrades, earlier today the political branch of the Dept of Justice announced their dispatch to key Democrat cities and counties in order to support the correct regime voting process. No, really, they did. [LINK]
(DOJ) – The Justice Department announced today its plans to monitor compliance with federal voting rights laws in 64 jurisdictions in 24 states for the Nov. 8, 2022 general election. Since the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Division has regularly monitored elections in the field in jurisdictions around the country to protect the rights of voters. The Civil Rights Division will also take complaints from the public nationwide regarding possible violations of the federal voting rights laws through its call center. The Civil Rights Division enforces the federal voting rights laws that protect the rights of all citizens to access the ballot.
For the general election, the Civil Rights Division will monitor for compliance with the federal voting rights laws on Election Day and/or in early voting in 64 jurisdictions:

President Trump Notes “Big Announcement Tuesday, November 15th, From Mar-a-Lago” (Video)
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 7, 2022 | Sundance
It’s written in the teleprompter(!).
During his closing midterm rally speech from Ohio, President Trump noted he will be making a “big announcement on Tuesday November 15th from Mar-a-Lago.” {Direct Rumble Link} It certainly would appear to be the right timeframe for an announcement of a 2024 presidential bid. WATCH:
.
It would make sense to announce immediately after the success of the midterm elections. Any further DOJ efforts to target President Trump would then be viewed through the prism of Joe Biden weaponizing Main Justice to target his political opposition.
It would also clarify the donor field and put pressure on candidates who might seek to challenge the Great American MAGA King.

Oprah’s Old Posse Weighing in on PA Senate Race
Armstrong Economics Blog/USA Current Events Re-Posted Nov 7, 2022 by Martin Armstrong
The corrupt celebrity Oprah Winfrey (a separate blog post for another day) and her old posse are weighing in on the Pennsylvania Senate race. John Fetterman v Mehmet Oz is quite an odd pairing. Dr. Oz rose to fame through his appearances on Oprah’s daytime show. Yet, Oprah publicly will not support the Republican candidate.
Oprah went as far as arranging an online Zoom event to mobilize PA voters. “There are clear choices out there … to represent the values — this is what we’re talking about — the values we hold dear,” she said on the Zoom presentation. “The values of inclusion, the values of compassion … that so many of us share, so use your discernment,” Oprah word vomited. These are the age-old keywords with no clear definition, such as “values,” “inclusion,” and “compassion.” Why would she promote Dr. Oz on her show as the top medical advisor for years if she felt he was lacking in these values?
Knowing Oprah is a die-hard Democrat, Oz was not surprised. “Doctor Oz loves Oprah and respects the fact that they have different politics. He believes we need more balance and less extremism in Washington,” a member of his campaign said.
Yet, another “doctor” who Oprah rose to fame believes John Fetterman is not mentally competent to hold office. Dr. Phil McGraw, albeit no longer a doctor, appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” to discuss his concerns with the candidate. “Just ask yourself,” Dr. Phil added, “Let’s say you were getting on an airplane and the airline pilot had had a similar cognitive impairment. Would you get on? Well, hell no.” After seeing Fetterman struggle to form a coherent sentence during his debate, I would NEVER board an airplane with Fetterman onboard, even if he was a flight attendant.
Dr. Phil said that he did not want to appear “unkind” and said Fetterman had “courage,” but this man clearly is mentally compromised. Joe Rogan called this an example of the media and politicians gaslighting the public. Both men said it was unfair to put Fetterman in this position. There is a long list of violent offenders and murderers in prison waiting for a Fetterman win to be released back into the population. If he were running on a Republican ticket, the media would have turned on him during his first interview, and he would not be viewed as the next savior of Pennsylvania.
BREAKING: Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips Released from Imprisonment by Order of Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 6, 2022 | Sundance
By order of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips have been ordered RELEASED from custody, reversing the lower court decision which led to their detention and imprisonment for six days. {Background}
A statement from Catherine and Gregg posted on Truth Social:
I will look for more details on the Texas Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal decision.
Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China.
Eugene Yu and Konnech sued True the Vote and are using the U.S. civil judicial system to find out who told the FBI about the Chinese data harvesting operation. Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt demanded that Phillips and Englebrecht reveal the names of everyone who was present when the original data files were shown to True the Vote.
Englebrecht and Phillips stated they did not ever possess the data file, do not have it and refused to name all the participants who may have seen it. Judge Hoyt threw them in jail last Monday until Englebrecht and Phillips give up the names to the court and the Chinese Communist Party.
Their release comes a day after President Trump drew attention to their wrongful incarceration during a MAGA rally in Latrobe Pennsylvania. Fox News Host Tucker Carlson also drew attention to the case.
President Trump MAGA Election Rally, Miami Florida – 5:00 pm ET Livestream
Posted originally on the conservative tree house onNovember 6, 2022 | Sundance
Today President Trump is heading to the formerly deep blue region of Miami-Dade to drive a stake into the heart of the Florida communist apparatus and expel the leftist demons from the sunshine state. This is the MAGA election rally that should trigger the Tsunami on Tuesday.
A slate of MAGA republican candidates will be joining President Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States of America, at the Miami-Dade County Fair and Exposition Center, including Senator Marco Rubio in Florida. President Trump’s endorsement record in Florida is undefeated, a perfect 19-0. It was the MAGA movement that created a historic red wave up and down the ballot and molded the Sunshine State into the MAGA stronghold it is today.
Thanks to President Trump, Florida is no longer a purple state; it’s an America First Red State and the demons are in retreat. President Trump is expected to take the podium at 5:00pm ET with event speakers throughout the day. ‘Let’s Get Ready to Rumble’ livestream links below:

“DeSanctimonious” is Not About the Florida Governor
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 6, 2022 | Sundance
In December of 2009 the results of the most consequential special election of the decade were transmitted from a rebellious bunch of misfits who shook the political elite to Washington DC. Republican Scott Brown was elected to take the “Kennedy Seat” in Massachusetts in an epic battle that surprised both the Democrat and Republican establishment.
The DC political class (both parties) were shook, triggered, jaw-dropped & aghast… A revolt was visible.
It wasn’t just the Democrats who reacted, organized and responded with the urgency of a 2012 counter-offensive. The rebellious threat from the working class was as much abhorred by the Republican political class, the Bushes, McCains and McConnells who saw the Tea Party uprising as toxic to their control.
The working-class uprising, the originating assembly of what is now the MAGA movement represented in that Massachusetts winter special election had to be destroyed, and that was why the Tea Party movement had to be co-opted and destroyed by the Republican party. From their professionally Republican perspective, including the billionaire and Wall Street donors who try to influence the club platform, there are no limits to what they will do to retain control, nothing is out-of-bounds.
That’s why we saw the GOPe primary ‘splitter strategy‘ first deployed to scale in 2012. Romney was installed as the nominee, and gleefully the GOPe watched as he was defeated by Obama’s reelection bid in November. The status-quo was achieved. The DC UniParty was repaired, and all things were back under club control. Two wings of the same UniParty once again giving the illusion of choice.
For those of us who fully understood what was done, and by that time our 2013 ranks were more significant, it became crystal clear the ‘first-things-first’ approach would require the Republican political elite to be removed and confronted first – before the communists in the left wing of the UniParty could be attacked. We needed a weapon against them….
…..ENTER Donald John Trump.
Donald John Trump wasn’t just our MAGA candidate in 2015, he was our murder weapon and the professional GOPe elite, the party system within the Republican club, was our intended victim.
The 2016 Republican club counter-offensive to a reenergized movement now carrying the MAGA banner, was led by the ‘Never Trumpers’. Most of you will easily remember how the professional political class, the Jeb Bush wing within the Republican club, responded. However, this time in 2016 we had the previous experience, the lessons and a map of their playbook in hand.
The MAGA movement knew what the GOPe club were trying to do, and we defeated them because our candidate was big, snarky, strong and impervious to the professional Republican club throwing everything including the kitchen sink at him. We The People were not going to retreat. We held the line, moved forward and won. However, our 2016 victory made the Republican inside club even more furious.
The Bushes, McConnells et al were unwilling to relinquish control of the club and would do anything, say anything and use every institutional lever within their control to remain in power. The inside DC Republican club used every deceptive resource available to undermine our President and kneecap him from disrupting the system.
It wasn’t just the Democrats trying to impeach President Trump, the Republican wing of the UniParty was more than willing to provide background support, they just couldn’t be visible when doing it.
This is the battle for control of the Republican Party. It’s not about voters or candidates per se’, the battle is for the control of a private club – the RNC. President Trump has loosened the grip, but it is up to We The People of the MAGA movement to pry their fingers from the mechanisms of control.
What I am describing above is what the background battle, within the state of Florida, around Ron DeSantis, is all about.
The Bush clan have wrapped their arms around Governor Ron DeSantis as a 2024 weapon to counteract the MAGA movement. They have poured hundreds of millions into the “acceptable Republican” effort and are in full control of the DeSantis campaign management.
The Mitt Romney’s, Mitch McConnell’s, Paul Ryan’s, Kevin McCarthy’s etc are trying to leverage the club dynamic over Ron DeSantis and provide enticements to maintain the alliance with their internal battle plan to retain full control over the Republican Party.
The Never Trumpers, financed by donors, the professional party system and club officials, are all part of the internecine battle.
When President Trump labels the former congressman, now Florida Governor as “Ron DeSanctimonious,” that background reality is the who, what, when and why.
This battle is about Republican Party control and the use of Ron DeSantis by the club members who refuse to let go of power.
As noted by a comment from Rick Stans:
Watching heads explode over Trump’s “DeSantimonious” comment is exactly what the RINO elite relishes! Sundance has spelled out Ron’s position very clearly over the past weeks and anyone with half a brain could see it! Ron is a tool being forged as the splitter to weaken Trump in his bid to win in ‘24.
Moreso, the “god” man is what the RINO elite like Ryan and McCarthy hope will destroy the MAGA movement and restore the order of Kings & Queens in D.C. verses the serfs in fly-over country! The Coastals are becoming a bit uneasy hearing about Red Waves and MAGA movements! Time to crush these peasants once and for all!
Enter “god” man! Smiling, snarky Ron the Trump slayer! The Rip Van Winkle of Mar-a-Lago post raid! Trump’s friendly shot across the bow is a wake-up call!
No Ron, we won’t sit back and let you be another fraud, a fallen acorn from the dead Bush Oak that was fertilized with our hard-earned tax dollars for decades!
Either we’re all in for MAGA (despite what Trump does) or we’ll all be learning how to say “can I trade my dollars for yuan” in Mandarin one day! Wake up foolish Ron supporters who have become offended by Trump! Haven’t you learned from your parents that “sticks and stones may break my bones…..”
Trump is a gamer and his words were just a precursor to let Ron know that all the money and notoriety he will be promised for distancing himself from MAGA to “Save” America, is really nothing but fools gold in the end if MAGA goes the way of the Tea Party!
The Republican Club would rather lose elections and retain power than win and be held accountable to deliver on their false promises.
Likely in Response to the “Ron is God” Campaign Ad, President Trump Gives Ron DeSantis a Nickname
Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 5, 2022 | Sundance
During a Pennsylvania MAGA rally tonight, President Trump went through the republican polling for the 2024 nomination contest.
When it came to the second-place polling finisher, President Trump gave the Florida governor a new nickname, “Ron DeSanctimonious.” LOL {Direct Rumble Link}
.
Many people were caught off guard by the rather humous slight, aka a shot across the bow as subtle as a brick through a window; however, it’s likely President Trump was responding to the latest, well, rather cringy campaign ad from the Florida governor’s campaign, “Ron is God.” WATCH:
.
Team DeSanctimonious (pictured below) for 2023 is the Lyin’ Ted team from 2015, with The Daily Wire replacing the National Review.
Once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them….
