Joe Rogan playing a flashback to Trump's appearance on "The View" when he was considering running for president back in 2011. //
Rogan talks about the "180" this was from "the machine's" effort to go after him now. They loved him until he got in the way of their power and control.
It's an astonishing change and, quite frankly, frightening evidence of the power of the machine and how it can flip the thoughts of people who fall for the propaganda. Just as they turned Trump into Hitler for people who never thought that before, they are now trying to turn Kamala Harris, who is part of a failed administration with no achievements, into some kind of inspirational candidate and ignore all the negatives. //

Twenty years ago, Donald Trump ran through New Your City with the Olympic Torch and was praised by all. In 1986 Donald Trump, along with Rosa Parks and Muhammad Ali was given the "Ellis Island Award" in NYC for patriotism, tolerance and brotherhood. The leftist elite and legacy media all turned on Donald Trump when he came out as a Conservative and ran for President of the United States.

He was beloved by many people. Rappers would name-drop him in songs, politicians on both sides lined up to beg him for money. Then he decides to run for president as a Republican and they all turned him into Hitler overnight. He didn’t change, they all did.

I am well old enough to remember Donald Trump saying this same stuff back in the early 80's. He warned the government! He's never changed. The democrat party changed - they're no longer the party of my mother or even of my youth.
The Harris-Walz campaign team likes to term JD Vance "weird." But that says everything about how out of touch they are with the American people.
Vance was born into meager circumstances with a mother who was an addict, and he was raised by his grandmother. He worked his way up from that to join the Marines, finish college in two years, go to Yale Law School, become an editor of the Yale Law Journal, write a famous book Hillbilly Elegy, clerk for a federal judge, get into the tech industry and investing, then become a senator. He is walking, talking evidence of the American Dream. I want someone who understands how to get to the American Dream, not someone who has been fighting to drive the country to the far left and would destroy that dream.
British author and conservative political commentator Douglas Murray put the paramount choice in the 2024 presidential election — and all presidential elections — into proper perspective, and it couldn't be more stark.
Kamala Harris believes she knows the choice before the public in November. It is between going “forwards” and going “backwards.” Since the Democratic nominee is wise about the nature of time, she insists that this November, America should choose to go forward.
In fact, it would be good if this country could go back. To the economy we had before Kamala Harris and Joe Biden entered office. Because the most consequential choice there is in this election is between left-wing economics and right-wing economics. Between the economics of Biden-Harris and the economics of Donald Trump.
In some areas of life, the left-right divide is blurry. But in economics, the difference is clear. //
Murray then nailed the "clear difference."
It is between those who would grow the size of the economy and those who would grow the size of the state. //
"For once," Murray wrote, "we can judge the candidates not on their words but on their deeds," adding: "Unfortunately, this is not good news for Kamala Harris.". //
He also noted that Democrats like to pretend Trump's tax cuts only benefited the rich, which he called "simply untrue."
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017) didn’t just massively spur economic growth, it also saw the average taxpayer receive an on-average tax cut of around $1,500.
I don't know a ton about Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), but I do know he has a background in law enforcement, so including him on the bipartisan task force investigating the J13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump seems like a sound decision. As one of 13 congressional members assigned to the task force, Higgins has been delving into the incident — had, in fact, already been investigating it personally prior to his appointment to the task force.
On August 12, Higgins filed a preliminary report to the task force Chairman Mike Kelly (R-PA), whose district encompasses the Butler County Fairgrounds (commonly referred to as "Butler Farm") where the incident occurred. The report was initially embargoed but on Thursday, was authorized for release. //
-
The Secret Service (USSS) had never assigned a counter-sniper team to a former POTUS before J13. [What about presidential candidates/nominees?]
-
Butler County tactical command had set aside radios for USSS to use for the event in the Emergency Services Unit (ESU) command post RV and reminded the USSS counter-sniper teams to pick them up, but they were never retrieved by USSS.
-
The FBI cleaned up biological evidence from the crime scene, which, according to Higgins, "is unheard of. Cops don’t do that, ever."
-
The FBI released Crooks’ body to his family for cremation on July 23. No one else knew about this until August 5.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨
Matthew Crook’s body is GONE
@RepClayHiggins
requested to examine the assassin’s body and was told it was released to the family by the FBI.
Nobody even knew his body was gone until August 5, including the Butler County Coroner, LEO, and the Butler County Sheriff.
Crooks was cremated on July 23, just 10 days after the assassination attempt.
All roads keep leading back to alphabet agencies being involved and/or covering up what actually happened in Butler, PA when President Trump was shot.
8:13 PM · Aug 15, 2024
- “[T]his action by the FBI can only be described by any reasonable man as an obstruction to any following investigative effort.” //
The key takeaway from this, in my view, is that the USSS didn't avail themselves of available radios, which would have allowed them to be in direct communication with the local law enforcement personnel with whom they were supposed to be coordinating and, more importantly, the FBI moved very quickly to clear the personnel, clear the crime scene, and clear the shooter's body, even while knowing that there were ongoing investigations and would be follow-on investigations. Why were they in such a hurry? How are we supposed to feel reassured that they are conducting and will conduct a thorough, honest investigation?

Actually, most "self-obsessed rich guys" are Democrats today because being a Democrat is much more lucrative, is less risky and creates much less friction. For anyone who is self-obsessed and chasing money and power, the choice is simple.
Being a Conservative, or even a classical liberal today, requires holding principles more important than their own self-interest. It requires personal responsibility, courage and sacrifice.
Any coward can be a woke regressive. That only requires the willingness to point the finger of blame anywhere but your own actions.
But one man's accomplishment is another corporation's impending financial loss.
The corporate media was not happy about the conversation that happened on X, and I can't say I blame them. The conversation should give them a sense of terror, and not because it allowed Donald Trump to speak uncensored and without any boundaries. Yes, seeing Trump talk about plans for the future, the corruption in Washington, and the lies of the left was not something they wanted anyone to hear, but it goes deeper than that.
For as long as they can remember, the press has been the gatekeepers of information and narratives. The internet introduced some very real complications to that, but thanks to many of the overlords in Silicon Valley being just as radically leftist as they were, controlling information wasn't that hard to do. Censoring, blacklisting, and silencing wasn't just easy, they considered it a noble pursuit. //
And then Elon Musk bought Twitter after a lengthy struggle against its board members, and discovered just how deep the rabbit hole of government collusion and cooperation went. This information was released via the "Twitter Files."
https://redstate.com/tags/twitter-files //
All of this led to the moment where Donald Trump, the once banned former president, spoke to the world's richest man in a live conversation anyone could listen to about everything from the border to electric cars, the economy, and plans to shrink the government. It was unfiltered, uncensored, and terrifying for the information gatekeepers of the modern era.
Trump didn't have to fight them here. He didn't even have to go around them. He completely ignored them. //

They're scared to death that not only did people listen, but they might have started questioning all the narratives that the propaganda media has been pushing for decades. And questioning all the narratives/smears regarding Trump.
And that is what scares them most of all. The idea of people critically thinking and questioning instead of just accepting the narrative/agenda.

Between 7:47 PM and 10:47 PM ET, President Donald Trump's Space post received 73 million views. During the same period, there were 4 million posts about Elon Musk and President Trump's conversation on 𝕏, generating a total of 998 million views.
2:43 AM · Aug 13, 2024 //
Here in the States, the mainstream press did not like the fact that Trump was effectively getting around them, and a Washington Post reporter asked Karine Jean-Pierre if there was a way to stop the conversation from happening at all. Mainstream media figures on CNN threw a very professional temper tantrum about their loss of narrative control as well.
It's very clear that this wasn't supposed to happen like this. Trump was supposed to be confined to friendly interviews from center-right networks and Fox News, which the left has programmed the public to be wary of or outright hate. The conversation on X was more proof that the corporate media is losing its grip on the narrative. //

You don't need a formal conspiracy when interests converge.

Here's Trump's full quote: "I don't know if [Biden is] happy about that decision [to quit]. The presidency was taken away from Joe Biden. And I'm no Biden fan. But I'll tell you what, from a constitutional standpoint, from any standpoint, you're looking at they took the presidency away."
Let me add one more thing before you go because this is another thing that needs to be said out loud, even though hardly anyone will. //
It was noble.
Biden was more than Trump's political rival. He's a man who has spent the last five years smearing Trump (and millions of Trump voters) as a racist, a phobic, a hater, a would-be dictator, an authoritarian, and worse. But now that Biden is as low as any president has been since Richard Nixon was forced out of office 50 years ago this week, Trump spoke the truth about what Biden's own party did to him.
Shortly after Fox News Digital released bodycam video from Butler Township Police Department officers who were on the scene when Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal posted audio also obtained from Butler PD bodycams revealing their frustration at the Secret Service for not securing the rooftop at AGR. //

Does anyone but me think it was odd that the Secret Service never sent a counter sniper team to a Trump rally before this one? I’m thinking that was not so much lucky as it was to make sure the shooter died after killing Trump, just as Jack Ruby suddenly was able to kill Oswald. Dead men tell no tales about the CIA.
Vance on X: “I thought the reporters traveling with Kamala might be a little lonely given that she never answers questions from them, so I figured I’d come say hello and check out my new plane while I was at it.”
Where Vance was the ultimate volunteer, choosing a service he knew would result in deployment to Iraq, Walz approached his enlistment to get benefits and improve his chances for professional advancement. When Vance was ordered to Iraq, he went. When Walz, the senior noncommissioned officer in his battalion, was ordered to Iraq, he quit and left his men high and dry.
This is not a slip of the tongue. Smith serves with Vance in the Senate. She has to be familiar with his life story. This was an attempt to set a narrative with CNN's native demographic of low-functioning midwits. Note how reluctant Acosta is to upset the apple cart.
Taken together, these two things indicate that Donald Trump and JD Vance are facing opponents who will casually tell the most extravagant lies and stoop to the worst kind of slanderous comments because they know their audience doesn't care and they have no fear of being challenged by the media.
There is no evidence that Donald Trump faked a disability to dodge the draft. That allegation has floated around and was investigated in detail by the New York Times. As Hasan was one of the loud voices pushing the debunked Russia Hoax, I wouldn't expect him to be particularly persuaded by the truth. But, arguendo, let's concede that a friendly doctor got Trump out of the draft after his student deferments ran out in 1972. By 1972, American involvement in the Vietnam War was running down. Trump's birthday is June 14, giving him a lottery number of 113. The highest lottery number called up in Trump's year of eligibility was 95. //

And let’s not forget that after being shot and shot at Trump’s gotten right back up and gone right back out there, while knowing for a fact that the agency that is supposed to have his back is at best case incompetent for the job.
Walz didn’t even get to the point where he might get shot at before he cut and ran.
As it turned out, on Wednesday, both JD Vance and Kamala Harris were arriving at the airport in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Once again, Harris needed help to buff out her crowd by having a popular musician at her event, Bon Iver.
But when Vance arrived, he skewered Harris' effort to avoid reporters but good. He walked over to where Air Force Two was and delivered a great shot.
Vance joked, "It's going to be my plane in a few months."
Then he said, "I also thought you guys may get lonely" because Kamala Harris "doesn't answer questions from reporters and hasn't in 17 days." He asked them if the Harris team had given them any explanation for her avoiding the media. He said he thought it would be good if she took questions rather than running a campaign from a basement and with a teleprompter. Then he smiled and thanked them.
His tactic worked. One reporter asked what he wanted to hear from Harris. Vance responded he wanted to hear what she wanted to do in the office and why her positions have all flip-flopped. He said she pretended to be a tough-on-crime prosecutor but then was for defunding the police and opening the border.
Vance finished by saying it was "disgraceful" how she was blowing them off, as Harris was avoiding the media with her motorcade pulling away behind Vance.
A video of Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) was unearthed on Monday that appeared to show him threatening civil war if Donald Trump won the election.
Raskin was speaking at a discussion on voter rights hosted by a left-wing professor when he made the controversial comments, which included a pledge to disqualify Trump on January 6th, 2025 based on the Fourteenth Amendment. //
He seems completely convinced that he would be the good guy in a scenario where he and other Democrats overturned an election based on their own political whims. He calls Trump supporters "rampaging mobs" despite them representing the side that won the election in his hypothetical.
DESANTIS: Well, here's what I would just say generally. The election needs to be about the fact that Kamala Harris is an unacceptable choice for president of the United States. Doesn't matter what you thought before. Now, she cannot be president for a variety of reasons. I've articulated some. I know the campaign has done other.
Any other energy spent talking about anything else, I think, is playing on the Democrats' turf. They want the election to be about something that the VP candidate said five years ago or something that happened ten years ago. If we're arguing on that, then the Democrats are in a better spot. This is about Kamala.
She is not equipped to be president. That's why Obama didn't endorse her right out of the gate, because he knows that. Now it looks like she's corralled the nomination, but we can't act like she's somehow an acceptable choice. She's the most left-wing nominee that we have had in this country in at least fifty years. //

DeSantis is 100% right here. We all must stay focused on Harris. She is not acceptable as president. She is that bad. I mean, I hate Obama, but he was at least competent at what he did even if everything he did was awful. Harris will be bad at everything she does and she'll make huge mistakes. She'll be far worse than even Biden was. That must be the message.
Republicans -- ALL Republicans must stay on message about that.
No, don't call her puerile names. No, don't bring up her flip-flopping race claims. No, don't even bring up her using sex to gain power. Let surrogates do that.
For all pundits, politicians, Trump staff, and Trump/Vance themselves, it must be about how incompetent Harris is and what a disaster her Vice Presidency was and how influential she was with the Biden administration. That's evidence of how bad she will be as president.

Better that the social media platforms let a thousand flowers bloom, and let folks figure out for themselves what is and isn't credible. This is the age of the internet, after all; we are into the third generation of Americans growing up in the Information Revolution, and while sometimes one must winnow a ton of chaff to find a grain of wheat, better we do the winnowing ourselves than to have faceless scolds sitting in a cubicle in Silicon Valley do it for us.
