Mitch McConnell Exits Senate Leadership in November, John Thune Will Likely Replace

Posted originally on the CTH on October 28, 2024 | Sundance

There’s a myriad of outrage articles written about the Senate DeceptiCon Leader stepping down from his position and the likely heir apparent John Thune (R-SD) taking his place.

I doubt you will find a website that has been outlining the conniving duplicity of South Dakota Senator John Thune more than this one [SEE HERE]. That said, attempting to stop John Thune from becoming the next Senate Majority Leader is an exercise in futility, here’s why.

I cannot stand Thune and his Big Ag duplicity. But I’m not going to waste time trying to change an outcome that is essentially done, negotiated (yes, discussions with Trump) and “in the books” so to speak.

We have written about this plan for several years. Mitch McConnell isn’t leaving the Senate; he’s just stepping down from leadership. McConnell personally groomed Thune for the position and has introduced him to all the key financial players that keep the DeceptiCons (Deceptive Conservatives) in office. GO DEEP and GO DEEP

John Thune talks about assuming the role as the natural outcome of his time with McConnell, because the political silo that houses the Senate chamber is well fortified. Unfortunately, almost all the GOPe Republicans (DeceptiCons) will support this passing of the baton, and the only thing that makes the Deep State professional Republicans nervous, is the potential for President Donald Trump to intercede in the anointing. This is Trump’s leverage point.

With the upper chamber in Republican control Thune has the support of the democrat uniparty apparatus and the Decepticon wing of the republicans (McConnell’s team). The nonaligned Republican coalition is approximately 20 to 25 members, who might -key word, ‘might’- vote against Thune. This makes Thune’s installment a generally accepted foregone conclusion.

We don’t have to like that reality, but we are not going to pretend. We can dirty him up, position President Trump for maximum leverage, but at the end of the day math is math and the numbers in opposition just are not there. Now, if We The People want to change this dynamic, then [HERE’S The Solution]. Having said that, remember, the Senator who becomes the Majority Leader then controls the committee assignments and specifically who are the senate chairs of those committees.

President Trump has previously been in meetings with Senator John Thune in Mar-a-Lago.

FLORIDA – John Thune, the second highest-ranking Republican in the Senate, was in Palm Beach, Fla., for fundraisers with his wife, Kimberley Thune, and called to see if Trump might be able to sit down and chat.

It wasn’t a sure date. Less than four years prior, Trump had called Thune a “RINO,” or Republican in name only, and urged others to try to oust him in a GOP primary, saying on social media that “South Dakota doesn’t like weakness!”

But in the hourlong meeting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort, Thune and his wife helped defuse some of the tension in the relationship. Those strains have loomed as a problem for Thune as he vies to lead the GOP in a possible Trump second term, and shows how the complicated politics of the party and the uncertain election are pushing the onetime antagonists to mend fences.

“I think we have an understanding, and it’s professional,” Thune said of Trump in a recent interview in Michigan, calling the Mar-a-Lago visit important in establishing a personal rapport. “We both know we have a job to do.” (read more)

Yes, as the political games are played, positions and interests are discussed well in advance to permit the political players to organize their best interests. No doubt Thune expressed his position, and President Trump discussed his expectations. This is just what happens at the highest levels of DC government.

For our optimal solution approach, it is prudent, pragmatic and proactive to shift focus away from the senate leader role and toward the objectives of President Trump and the MAGA movement he represents. We, meaning us and Trump, need positions confirmed, ergo we need specific interests represented in the Chairs of the Senate Committees who hold the power of advice and consent.

This is likely the approach taken by President Trump in his discussions with Thune. President Trump is a man of pragmatic wisdom who understands the longer, more strategically necessary moves that need to take place in order to achieve goals.

EXAMPLE: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) will hold hearings to approve or deny appointments to CIA, DNI, NSA, FBI etc. The Senate Committee Chair holds the timing and outcome in his/her hands. The same thing applies to the Judiciary Chair, Senate Foreign Relations Chair, Senate Homeland Security Chair etc. etc.

In the role of Senate Leader John Thune can work against President Trump, or the two men could come to an agreement. Ex. President Trump endorses Thune in exchange for Thune accepting names for chair and committee assignments that would be favorable to Trump. Hopefully, something like that will likely be the outcome.

We are not going to be able to install a different Senate Majority Leader with only 20 or 25 pure-blood MAGA senators in the silo. Compromises will need to be made, but with the end goal of having a solid foundation to rest the cornerstones of President Trump’s second term.

The battle against the Deep State will require an SSCI Chairman who at least gives the opportunity for success. In my opinion the current vice chair, Marco Rubio, is going to be the acceptable chairman for both Thune, Trump and the Intelligence Silos who operate in the SSCI orbit.

Several months ago, Marco Rubio went back into his pretending role giving the illusion of conservatism, liberty and freedom. Those who accept that Rubio wears masks, can easily identify his self-interests. But again, like Thune, the number of Republicans who understand Rubio’s masks are not enough to change the scenario of who becomes the next likely chair of the SSCI. The pretending amid the upper chamber is strong and the awakening electorate don’t quite fully understand it, yet.

Getting the right people into Senate committees, and more importantly getting the right Senators into the role of the Chair, is really the dynamic that matters most. This is the actionable dynamic that should be our focus. It is wise not to be distracted from this focus by getting caught up in the emotional (angry), yet futile, fight against Thune.

President Trump will need leverage and pressure points to break through the hard silo and deal with the Senate Leader.

The Secretary of State is confirmed by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Director of National Intelligence, Director of the CIA, NSA Director and Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) all must pass through Senate intel committee confirmation. The Senate Homeland Security Committee confirms the Dept of Homeland Security Secretary (DHS). These, and many more, are vital to our expectations.

Yes, the next Senate Majority Leader is important. However, we must remain focused on the goal and not get too distracted by the leadership battle.

Public pressure that provides President Trump leverage is useful. Outrage and anger that can label MAGA as extremist and create more internal alignment for what will be an inevitable outcome, can/will work against our strategic interests.

This is where it becomes important to accept President Trump as keen negotiating Trump and finding the optimal solution.

84% of Americans Want Voter ID

Posted originally on Oct 28, 2024 By Martin Armstrong

Believe it or not, Americans want a fair election. One side is using never-before-seen tactics to secure the vote, such as installing a new nominee without securing a single nomination in the primaries and permitting illegal aliens to vote. A recent poll shows that both Republicans and Democrats want a fair election that includes requiring voter ID.

The latest Gallup poll found that an overwhelming 84% of all Americans believe photo identification should be required to vote. Then, 83% of all Americans believe first-time voters must provide proof of citizenship. Americans want to determine the outcome of their own election, but the government continues to ignore the will of the people.

Democrats were less likely to demand proof of citizenship, but still, the majority (66%) believe it should be required. The majority of the left (67%) also believe photo identification cannot be overlooked. Republicans naturally see that illegal migrants will vote against their party. Why would anyone vote against the party that has provided them a taxpayer-subsidized life in a new nation where they are not required to assimilate nor are they held to the same legal code as citizens. Of no surprise, 98% of Republicans are demanding proof of citizenship, and 96% want to see a photo ID. About 84% of Independents support both measures.

5th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Mississippi Ballots Must be Received and Counted By Election Day

Posted originally on the CTH on October 26, 2024 | Sundance

There is a lot of conflicting information about a recent 5th Circuit Court of Appeals (5th CCA) ruling that remands a lower court opinion back to the State of Mississippi. You can read the 5th CCA RULING HERE.

The appellate judges stated that “Election Day,” as designated by Congress, is the last day ballots can be received by state officials. “Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials,” the court wrote, adding that Mississippi’s policy allowing ballots to arrive up to five days later is in conflict with federal law.

[Source pdf]

While the 5th CCA has jurisdiction over Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, the decision only impacts Mississippi should the federal district court judge agree to bar the state from counting late-arriving mail-in ballots. Yes, it is a win for Mississippi election integrity, but -no- it is unlikely to have a major impact on the overall election.

The ruling only applies to Mississippi, and the decision simply reverses the previous ruling and remands the issue back to the judge. I hope that helps clear up any confusion.

MASSIVE WIN: 5th Circuit Court rules ALL BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY ELECTION DAY.

If any state has laws that allow ballots to be received and / or counted after Election Day they are now in direct violation of federal law. pic.twitter.com/gQPEcW9m2I

Texas AG Ken Paxton Sends Letter of Criminal Referral to DOJ Outlining Act Blue Illegal Campaign Finance Activity

Posted originally on the CTH on October 24, 2024 | Sundance

Many people might think that Attorney General Ken Paxton filing a letter of notice for criminal referral to the U.S Dept of Justice is an act of futility, because the DOJ is not going to investigate or indict criminal conduct by leftist political operatives. However, there is a strategic process to follow, particularly if the Texas AG is likely to become the next U.S. Attorney General.

In a way this step-by-step proactive approach is exactly why my efforts to intercept fraudulent ballot printing operations in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania were targeted to the Postmasters General in specific locales. It is unlawful to use the U.S.P.S. to conduct fraud through the postal system. Additionally, it is specifically illegal for a postmaster to be provided with direct evidence of mail fraud, and to knowingly – with intent, allow further unlawful activity therein.

Texas AG Ken Paxton is following a procedural process that builds a legal pathway.

[SOURCE pdf]

TEXAS – Attorney General Ken Paxton made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) detailing the results of an investigation that revealed how suspicious actors seemingly use ActBlue’s political fundraising platform to make illegal straw donations.

The investigation into ActBlue began in December 2023 following allegations that the company could be facilitating illegal campaign contributions. As a result, in August 2024 ActBlue began requiring donors using credit cards to provide “CVV” codes, a common security measure. That does not prevent all the abuses that Attorney General Paxton’s team has identified on ActBlue, including that straw donations apparently are being made on a large scale using false identities, through untraceable payment methods.

On Monday, Attorney General Paxton sent a petition for rulemaking to the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) urging changes that would close loopholes that can be exploited to illegally funnel money into American elections. When the FEC previously considered adopting rules that could prevent straw donation schemes like those uncovered by the investigation, ActBlue opposed such changes.

“I have made a criminal referral to the U.S. Department of Justice based on the findings from our investigation into ActBlue. My investigation uncovered evidence showing that bad actors are likely using ActBlue’s platform to make illegal campaign contributions,” said Attorney General Paxton. “It is illegal to engage in election fraud and it is illegal to obscure one’s identity to flout election rules. The Department of Justice must take immediate action to prevent illegal conduct in our elections.” (link)

Reminder….. With the Legislative Branch compromised by their own creation, and with the Judicial Branch stuck inside an old paradigm of “national security” you can see how confronting the DOJ operation can only come from one place, THE OVAL OFFICE.

The President of the United States, hopefully Donald J Trump, is going to have to do what the other branches have failed to do, take apart the DOJ and change all the functions of Main Justice to their pre-Patriot Act status. This is not going to be easy and will take a very specific type of person as U.S. Attorney General who both understands the issue and can, more importantly, articulate the problem to the larger American public.

♦ The President Trump Attorney General needs to be ultra clean with a spine of steel and a laser focus. The AG needs to totally understand the goals and objectives, without being told what the goals and objectives are. The AG needs to be independent, stable, strategic, brutally honest and keenly confident in his/her communication style with the attack media.

President Trump cannot spend exhaustive time instructing the AG on critical priorities. The AG needs to operate with skill, focus and self-motivated energy. The AG will be the focus of the Lawfare crew for removal/recusal. (Weissmann, McCord, Eisen, etc.)

♦ The Deputy AG needs to be intensely capable to stay on task with minimal supervision. The DAG is the git-r’-done person, no excuses, no apologies, no explanations. Raw, brutal, cold, quiet and determined. The DAG needs eyes of a mouse and ears of an elephant. The DAG needs to be a sponge, with total loyalty to the mission. The DAG also needs to be the bridge to the FBI.
