Louisiana Republican Jeff Landry Wins Governor Race, Returns State to Republican Control


Posted originally on the CTH on October 15, 2023 | Sundance

Interestingly, and perhaps likely because of President Trump’s endorsement of Jeff Landry, the Republican Governor’s Association (RGA) did not support Landry in the Louisiana governor’s race.  Just another small but interesting datapoint that will be missed in this story.

As we have previously mentioned, the RGA, just like the RNC, is a captured institution now under the full control of the multinational donors.

Despite the lack of RGA support, Louisiana Republican Jeff Landry has won the governor’s race with more than 50% of the vote and will become the next governor.

(Politico) – […] Landry, the state attorney general, emerged from a crowded, all-party field to win the seat with 52 percent of the vote when The Associated Press called the race with 95 of the estimated vote counted. He will succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards.

Landry emerged from a field that included a number of notable Republicans, including state Treasurer John Schroder and Stephen Waguespack, a former executive at the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry and one-time aide to former GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal. There was one big-name Democrat in the race: Shawn Wilson, who previously served in Edwards’ administration as transportation secretary and had 25 percent of the vote when the AP called the race.

Landry was able to quickly coalesce GOP support in the race. He was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, the state Republican Party and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, among others.

By receiving more than 50 percent of the vote, Landry, who is also a former member of Congress, avoids a November runoff. Most expected Landry and Wilson to advance to that contest, making Landry’s outright win on Saturday an even bigger surprise — and potentially an early marker of Republican voters’ enthusiasm heading into 2024.

The state is red — Trump carried it by almost 19 points in 2020 — but Landry will become only the 4th Republican governor since the end of Reconstruction. Edwards, the outgoing Democratic governor, is one of the last of a dying breed of Southern Democrats. He is a rare anti-abortion Democrat still in a prominent elected office. (more)

CPAC Invites Democrat Candidate to Address Audience – RFK Jr. Will Attend, Hoping to Remove More Trump Support


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance 

The larger American conservative audience is more awake today than at any time in modern political history.  People are finally starting to see the root cause control and influence operations carried out by multinational corporations who control both parties and all subsequent candidates in the U.S system.

This awakening is a very good and necessary thing to watch happen in real time.  As previously mentioned, we are living in a time of great consequence.

The latest example of our corrupt system surfaces within an easily understood announcement.  The Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) has invited Robert Kennedy Jr. to attend their conference. CPAC is considered a highly influential political operation that is well known in U.S. politics.

However, as the chasm between the professional Republican class and the voters has widened over the last several years, CPAC has lost favor with the base conservative movement.  For most of the past decade, CPAC morphed into a fully entrenched GOP establishment influence operation.  Corporate sponsorship began influencing who would be permitted to speak, and Matt Schlapp just accelerated the connection between BIG CLUB money and CPAC.

Today’s announcement surrounding CPAC inviting Robert Kennedy Jr. is transparently part of the overall GOPe operation to use RFK Jr. as a vote splitter away from President Donald Trump.  In his own words RFK Jr admitted, “if he ran as an independent, he would hurt Trump more than Biden,” therefore he is running as an independent.  Stopping Donald Trump is the priority; RFK Jr’s status in the race is secondary.

As you might have noticed, CTH is now drilling down the mask slipping to the root inflection point where the corporations and Fourth Branch of Government take ownership of the individual.  In the case of Matt Schlapp, the leverage for this operation began with a lawsuit against him earlier this year for being a sexual deviant and groping a man’s penis – what they call sexual assault, in Georgia. {GO DEEP}  Matt always had a zipper problem; it makes sense with a few drinks the perversions would actuate.

When you chase understanding the odd and irreconcilable actions, money and/or sexual blackmail and threats are generally the issues that reconcile the odd or conflicting behavior.  Compromise Schlapp, who was preexisting sketchy, add in the corporate leverage, and violà the standard influence operation is underway….

….Inviting RFK Jr to CPAC just becomes another irreconcilable datapoint that reconciles.

[SOURCE]

This is the way the multinational corporations roll.  Control is why the Sea Island assembly, assembles.

RFK Jr. is not going to CPAC to target Biden voters.

The RNC, the DNC, the RGA and CPAC all funded by the same financial donors.  What George Carlin called, “The Big Club.”

Dallas Mayor Switches to Republican Party


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Sep 26, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson abruptly left the Democratic Party to join the GOP. The Wall Street Journal published an op-ed entitled “America’s Cities Need Republicans, and I’m Becoming One,” where Johnson explains why his values no longer align with the Democratic Party. Dallas saw a notable decline in crime since Johnson became mayor in 2019. He has found a way to manage the budget while decreasing taxes and prioritizing a safe city. Johnson told the WSJ he can no longer remain quiet about the failing cities under blue rule.

“The future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism,” Johnson stated, adding that these are traits of the Republican Party. Johnson calls Teddy Roosevelt his hero and mentions that urban areas doubled in size from 20% to 40% when he was in office. In 2023, 80% of Americans live in cities, but these areas are rapidly declining due to left policies that are driving away business and creating absolute chaos on the streets.

Johnson continued:“Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise. Too often, local tax dollars are spent on policies that exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living. And too many local Democrats insist on virtue signaling—proposing half-baked government programs that aim to solve every single societal ill—and on finding new ways to thumb their noses at Republicans at the state or federal level. Enough. This makes for good headlines, but not for safer, stronger, more vibrant cities.”

Johnson is absolutely correct, as blue cities have seen a drastic uptick in crime in recent years but nothing has been done to combat crime. Politicians have been defunding the police since the George Floyd and Black Lives Matter riots as a political move. Law and order is seen as Republican tyranny and criminals get a light slap on the wrist for breaking the law. Businesses are fleeing Democrat-run cities as legal theft has made it impossible to turn a profit. These once great cities truly have become “laboratories for liberalism” as hyperpartisan policies demand that funding be misdirected to various agencies to promote the liberal agenda. Democrats have unleashed controlled and deliberate civil unrest.

Johnson has vowed to make Dallas the safest city in America. He wants to lower taxes and manage a tighter budget with the means available. It is about time that our nation’s leaders woke up to the realities of the extreme left as American cities are now havens for crime and disorder.

For a Brief Moment Today, The Pretending Stopped – Scott Perry and Dan Bishop Go Full Wolverine Against Ridiculous Media Impeachment Defense of Joe Biden


Posted originally on the CTH on September 12, 2023 | Sundance 

The one thing I can tell you about this video is that North Carolina Representative Dan Bishop is part of team freedom.  His articulate remarks to the insufferable questioning of the media are exactly how he feels.

Representatives Scott Perry and Dan Bishop both confront the pretending media with facts that destroy the argument in defense of Joe and Hunter Biden.  This is what it looks like when representatives stop pretending and deliver the truth to a jaw-agape media.  WATCH:

A Message From Rush Limbaugh


Posted originally on the CTH on August 2, 2023 

Wow, does this message from Rush Limbaugh ring true today. {Direct Rumble LinkWATCH:

God Bless Him – We all miss Rush Limbaugh.

Before Donald Trump entered politics there was no home for people voting on the issues of a national economic agenda. Both Democrat and Republican candidates had essentially the same worldview on national economic policy because they are all getting money from the same multinational corporate trough.  However, President Trump changed that dynamic by presenting an alternative national economic policy called America-First.

For decades middle America was begging the McConnell’s, Ryans, Boehners, Romney’s, McCain’s, Bushes, et al, to make America-Fist economic policies their priority.  All of our shouts for help fell upon deaf political ears plugged by corporate donations and influence.  Our communities were literally collapsing around us (see rust belt), and yet no national politician would do anything of consequence.

By the time Donald Trump arrived decades of frustration exploded in an eruption of massive applause because he was articulating the central economic issue that was being ignored by the professional political class.  The America-First agenda is the restoration agenda.  From Trump’s national economic policy, the middle-class erosion stopped. Economic security, specifically U.S. employment stability and wage rates, goes hand in glove with border security and immigration controls.

MAGAnomics is the core of the great MAGA republican coalition, a working-class coalition that cuts through all other distinctions and divisions.  It is not republican because of political affiliation, it is “MAGA republican” only because the republican party was the political vehicle selected by Donald Trump to install the policy.

This reality creates a problem for the DC professional political class and the corporate media. Because MAGAnomics is the fundamentally binding principle there is no way to fracture the Trump supporter coalition.

I am a “MAGA republican” by default of my wanting a national economic agenda that looks out for the economic interests of American’s first.

Donald Trump is the irreplaceable Great MAGA King because Donald Trump is the only one who holds that same outlook.

It ‘seems’ chaotic and mad because it has been created to appear that way.  There are more of us than them; they just control the systems that allow us to connect, share messages and recognize the scale of our assembly.

And here we are… divided by a network of seemingly intoxicating systems; many purposefully driven by the modern dynamic of social media, steering a tribal outcome we are only now just beginning to fathom.

Ultimately the collective weight of progressive leftism is putting us is isolation. There are many historic references to this disconcerting sentiment to review with hindsight. However, ultimately the feeling of isolation first begins with a rejection of God.  Defeat it by embracing Him.

Our nation needs more people like you, right now. Don’t wait… engage life, get optimistic however you need to do it. Then let that part of you shine right now… This is how we fight. Hold up that flag; give the starter smile… rally to the standard you create and spread fellowship again.

Once restored, fight these bastards!

Do You Remember?

Here’s a fun blast from the past.  Yesterday, someone mentioned S&H Green Shield stamps and the stuff we used to purchase with them.

Today, I was having a conversation about communicating old school with a person, and about how the generation soon to come will find new methods to avoid the censors and monitors.  I mentioned the Green Shield stamp reminder and we had a blast reminiscing about all the stuff we used them for.

I think just about every small appliance and cookware for my very first apartment was the result of using S&H Greenshield stamps.

So the conversation expands…. Date yourself.  How many of you remember them, and what did you use them for?

The Sound of Freedom

Independence Day


Posted originally on the CTH on July 4, 2023 | Sundance

As we gather with family and friends for this Independence Day celebration, we remind ourselves that freedom is a valuable and precious gift worth fighting for.

There are many current anxieties, frustrations and feelings of despondency as our July 4th, 2023 celebrations take place. However, we would be well served to remember that we alone control our responses to events around us.

We can choose to put aside all of the challenges and issues that seem beyond our control, and we can gather in joyful fellowship with our family and friends to celebrate the reason our forefathers defeated tyranny.

We Americans come from solid stock.

We carry in our DNA a fortitude of individual identity that is not dependent on government for affirmation or permission.  We are the beneficiaries of those who believed in stubborn independence.  What takes place at your picnic, gathering or assembly of fellowship is your independent choice.

I am reminded of an article written more than two decades ago, that still rings true to this day.

An American credo, By Don Feder”:

I am an American. I was conceived at Plymouth, born in Lexington and Concord, and reached maturity at Philadelphia.

I went through the fires of Shiloh, Gualdacanal, the Chosin Resovoir, Khe Sanh and a thousand other battlefields, and emerged rededicated to the ideals on which America was founded.

I am an American. Ever ready to defend my liberty and independence, to make any sacrifice and bear any burden – still, I seek no quarrel.

I march to the sound of the guns out of necessity alone. I fight not for glory or territory, or to make others bend to my will, but to vindicate my rights and preserve my freedom.

I am an American. I’m proud of my past. Words like Valley Forge, Gettysburg Address and Pearl Harbor — names like Washington, Jackson, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt — make my blood stir.

Glancing behind me, I see generations of men and women who labored and struggled, lived and died to let me stand where I am today — who cleared the land, planted the crops, built the factories, raised the cities and made the discoveries that created a civilization which all the silent, suffering ranks of slaves, serfs and subjects who came before them could never imagine.

I am an American. While recognizing the errors that were made in nation-building (has a nation ever been built exclusively on light?), I proclaim America’s past glorious indeed, a boon to humanity, and consider myself among the blessed of the earth to share this nation’s destiny.

I am an American. Liberty is my birthright. To speak my mind, choose my leaders and legislators, defend my home and family, and worship the Creator in my fashion — these are not privileges, but G od-given rights. Governments can respect or deny them; they cannot change them.

I am an American. I have no rulers. Those who make, interpret and enforce our laws are servants. When they no longer recognize that verity, their authority loses legitimacy.

I am an American. My rights are a sacred trust to be exercised in the cause of justice and virtue. They are not the playthings of a spoiled child or mechanisms of self-indulgence.

I am an American. English is my language. Our ancestors arrived on these shores speaking everything from Chinese to Yiddish. It was English that united us, that allowed us to overcome age-old antagonisms.

From the Mayflower Compact to the latest piece of legislation introduced in Congress, our history and heritage are written in the tongue of the Magna Carta and the King James Bible.

I am an American. I have no distinctive race, religion or ethnicity. I am black, white, yellow, brown and red — Catholic, Protestant, Jew and Hindu. I came here from the hamlets of Old England, the bogs of Ireland, Napoli’s sunny shore, the Pale of Settlement and the villages of Vietnam. American isn’t a color or creed, but a state of mind.

I am an American. I welcome immigrants who are here to work and build, who identify with our past and ideals, who were spiritual Americans before they landed. Broken English is fine, as long as faith remains unbroken. An American speaks with the heart as much as the lips.

I am an American. My ism is Americanism. I reject all dogmas and ideologies. Collectivism, racism, militarism and imperialism have no place here. The rot that’s eaten away at the soul of so many nations and cultures must be fiercely resisted.

I am an American. I recognize only one loyalty higher than allegiance to our flag — faith in God. I acknowledge that America and God, the physical and the spiritual, are inseparable. America was founded by people of faith and grew to greatness by His grace. I pray that we will always be the instruments of His will.

I am an American. I weep over the fact that American history is no longer taught in our schools. In its place is a worldly, cynical skepticism inculcated by authors and educators at war with our basic values.

I am an American. I cringe at the collection of connivers, cowards, clowns and quacks that passes for our political leadership. I wonder that so many of my compatriots have no idea what America means and show no gratitude for the blessings that are theirs.

I am an American. My ranks grow thin; the night closes in. Whether I will be the last of my kind or the vanguard of their resurgence, only time will tell.”

Don Feder
