Nikki Haley’s complete ignorance of her own party is why Trump is the last candidate standing

Michael Goodwin

1/2

 

As the window closes on her presidential campaign, Nikki Haley is changing her tune.

 

She’s no longer just attacking Donald Trump, she’s also attacking Republicans who support him. All of them.

 

Losing is a kind of death that concentrates the mind, and with Super Tuesday likely to be her last stand, Haley is unleashing on the people whose votes she courted for more than a year.

 

She didn’t persuade enough of them, so now she’s blaming them for not being the right kind of Republicans.

 

“I get why Republicans are leaving the Republican Party, because we were just always about small government and freedom: economic freedom, personal freedom,” Haley told a gaggle of reporters Friday.

 

“You don’t see economic freedom coming from Republicans now.”

 

In the next breath, she threw the media under the bus, saying, “All of you have made this race about Trump. You haven’t made it about a primary, you haven’t made it about the direction of the country. You’ve just made it about Trump.”

 

If that wasn’t confusing enough, she insisted she’s not against him. “I’m not anti-Trump,” she claimed.

 

“This is about the fact that I think America is better than this. And I think that the Republican Party is better than this, and I think we can do more than this.”

 

Minutes later, she took a rally stage and eviscerated Trump over the national debt, tariffs, threatening to leave NATO and pretty much everything else she could think of.

 

Out of step

 

Even allowing that Haley has little to lose at this point, her burn-it-down day was extraordinary.

 

It also illustrated why she has seen her GOP support actually decline during the primaries and why she gets much of her backing from Democrats, some of whom want to boost her because they believe she would be easier to beat in November.

 

For all of Haley’s energy and commendable record of public service, she’s out of step with the party she wants to lead.

 

She doesn’t seem to like it very much and its voters have returned the favor.

 

After her chat with Washington reporters, some described her as appealing to a party that no longer exists.

 

As Bloomberg news put it, she “lamented the direction of the Republican Party — claiming it has abandoned its core principles of small government and free markets.”

 

Naturally, this angle was framed as an American tragedy, as if those reporters had great affection for the GOP until Trump ruined everything.

 

If you believe that. . .

 

In truth, Haley’s not wrong that the party has changed.But she doesn’t seem to understand why it had to change.

 

It would help if she at least recognized that radical leftists now control the Dems’ agenda and that a collegial GOP approach is doomed to fail.

 

Like the media, Haley yearns for the days when the GOP was genteel, united — and comfortable with losing.

 

Enter Trump, and whatever anyone wants to say of him, most of which is true,his GOP is no longer comfortable with losing.

 

He survived the spying of the FBI and CIA, defeated Hillary Clinton and is again under relentless attack from Dem media and prosecutors.

 

He has somehow survived it all and that is why he’s going to be the party’s presidential nominee for the third consecutive time.

 

And don’t forget that his policy record is far superior to President Biden’s, especially on the border and economy.

 

Trump’s ace, of course, is that his supporters see in him a defender and street fighterthey never had in Mitt Romney, John McCain or either of the Bushes.

 

And Haley, despite her racial background and pioneering efforts to break the party’s glass ceiling, more resembles the GOP nominees of yesteryear than Trump…

Her temperament and policies are why manyTrump supporters call her a RINO — a Republican in name only. That’s the ultimate insult, reserved for those who are willing to compromise with Democrats on the assumption the favor will be returned.

 

Anyone who believes such give-and-take Dems still exist isn’t paying attention.

 

Dems stick together

 

Three examples of how today’s Dems play by the cutthroat rules formerly ascribed to leaders of the Soviet Union: What’s mine is mine, what’s yours is negotiable.

 

First, despite a historically-narrow House margin and internal splits, Republicans took the rare step of expelling one of their own, George Santos, after he was indicted on federal charges.

 

A Democrat, Tom Suozzi, recently won the special election for the New York seat.

 

By comparison,Dems control the razor-tight Senate, but there was no push to expel one of their own, New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, who was indicted on more serious charges, which included being a foreign agent.

 

Second, consider how each side views impeachment.

 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Dem-controlled House ginned-up charges against Trump over Ukraine during his presidency, and produced two articles of impeachment. Both were approved, with only two Dems voting no on the first and only three voting no on the second.

 

On the second Trump impeachment, after Jan. 6, 10 Republicans joined all Dems in voting yes and GOP Rep. Liz Cheney was a chief architect of the House hearings that followed.

 

Now Republicans have the House, but struggled even to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his refusal to secure the border. The first vote failed in a tie, a second vote succeeded by one vote as three Republicans joined all Dems voting no.

 

Notice how Dems, whatever their differences, stick together for the big votes?

 

As for impeaching Joe Biden over his corrupt family schemes, the GOP had trouble getting a majority of its members just to support a formal impeachment inquiry.All Dems voted no.

 

During hearings, Dems try to derail witnesses and downplay testimony, and unite in defending the president despite evidence Biden participated in the schemes.

 

No matter that testimony and bank records show he got money from his brother Jim Biden, who got it from foreign clients.

 

There is no Dem version of Liz Cheney willing to break ranks, nor is there enough GOP support to even consider an impeachment vote.

 

Ruthless politics

 

Third, there’s the unprecedented move to prosecute and bankrupt Trump, with indictments and civil cases coming from New York, Georgia and federal authorities — all led by Democrats.

 

In addition, numerous blue states outrageously considered or tried to ban Trump from appearing on ballots.

 

The Supreme Court is expected to rule soon on the matter.

 

Lest anyone think the legal assault is organic, The New York Times reported two years ago that Biden was unhappy that Attorney General Merrick Garland had not prosecuted Trump.

 

Soon, Garland saluted and obeyed.

 

On the Georgia case, chief prosecutor Fani Willishired her lover and appears to have lied about it under oath.

 

Records show Willis & Co. spent days in the White House, suggesting Biden aides helped direct prosecution of his Republican opponent.

 

That’s the united, ruthless front Republicans are up against, and it’s why Trump, and only Trump, is the last candidate standing.

‘He believes in power and chaos’: alarm as Steve Bannon plots to propel Trump

The ex-White House chief strategist is no longer in daily contact with Trump, but his influence on the Maga right remains total

David Smith. Sun 3 Mar 20241/3

(They be freaking out due to Bannon’s influence. Kek)

 

Wearing an olive green jacket over a black shirt, Steve Bannon blew the doors off a subject that most other speakers had tiptoed around.“Media, I want you to suck on this, I want the White House to suck on this: you lost in 2020!” he roared. “Donald Trump is the legitimate president of the United States!”

 

A thrill of transgression swept through the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) at the National Harbor in Maryland. “Trump won!” Bannon barked, pointing a finger. “Trump won!” he repeated, shaking a fist. “Trump won!” he proclaimed again. His audience, as if hypnotised, chanted the brazen lie in unison.

 

It was a blunt reminder that Bannon, an architect of Trumpism variously compared to Thomas Cromwell, Rasputin and Joseph Goebbels, remains a potent force in American politics as the 2024 US presidential election looms into view and the re-election of Trump looks a clear possibility.

 

The former White House chief strategist may not be in daily contact with Trump any more but it scarcely matters: he is a vital source for the far-right ecosystem that shapes and animates the “Make America great again” (Maga) base.

 

Bannon, 70, is currently appealing a criminal conviction and four-month prison sentence for defying a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. The committee heard evidence that Trump spoke to Bannon at least twice on January 5 and predicted that “all hell is going to break loose tomorrow”.

 

In the meantime, he hosts a regular podcast called War Room, which propagates false narratives about the 2020 election and coronavirus vaccines but is given a veneer of respectability by guests including Elise Stefanik, the No 3 Republican in the House of Representatives, and other senior politicians.

 

A pop-up War Room studio commanded a prime location at CPAC last week and featured guests such as Liz Truss, the former British prime minister. On the main stage, Bannon compared Trump to the Roman general Cincinnatus and declared: “His fate and destiny is to have the greatest political comeback in American history from November 5 to drive the vermin out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

 

“Biden, you and your crime family are nothing but trash, OK? And on 20 January of 2025 we’re going to take out the trash.”

 

The Maga-regalia wearing crowd went wild, cementing Bannon’s status as a tribune of the movement heading into the 2024 presidential election.

 

Charlie Sykes, a political commentator and author of How the Right Lost Its Mind, said: “At the moment Steve Bannon is the id of the American right and, if we’ve learned anything in the last eight years, it’s don’t assume because somebody sounds extreme and unhinged that they will not be influential in this party.”

 

Sykes makes an analogy with drug dealers competing with each other by selling purer and stronger forms of methamphetamine, a highly addictive stimulant. “Steve Bannon is still peddling the most powerful meth out there…

2/3

 

“Donald Trump does not look at Steve Bannon and think this guy is unhinged; he’s looking at Steve Bannon and saying this is exactly what I want to hear from my supporters. Steve Bannon knows what he’s doing and he will act as a gravitational pull on the rest of the right because they have to match him.”

 

Unkempt and unpolished, Bannon is the opposite of a career politician. He is a former naval officer, Goldman Sachs investment banker and film producer. He was executive chairman of Breitbart News, which he once described as “the platform of the ‘alt-right’”, a movement that has embraced racism and antisemitism, and became chairman of Trump’s 2016 winning election campaign.

 

His tenure at the White House was short and acrimonious as he clashed with the president’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner, who later described him as a “toxic” presence who accused him of “undermining the president’s agenda”. Trump himself may have been piqued by how much media attention Bannon was receiving and eventually branded him “Sloppy Steve”.

 

But his ideas have proved harder to kill. Bannon continues toadvocate the “deconstruction of the administrative state”, a radical downsizing of federal government bureaucracy, and an isolationist “America first” policy that he insists would keep the country out of a third world war. Such notions are percolating through to Republicans in Congress who oppose further military aid to Ukraine.

 

Bannon also helps set the narrative on Trump’s signature issue, border security, blaming undocumented immigrants for crime, even thought studies have shown that immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than other US residents, and advocating mass deportations as a solution.

 

Bannon argues that biggest losers from the record influx of immigrants is the Black and Latino working class. “Every Black person, every Hispanic person in our country, vote for Trump,” Bannon said at CPAC last Saturday. “Trump will set you free because right now they’re enslaving you.”

 

He then assured his overwhelmingly white audience: “They call you racist, they call you xenophobic, they call you nativist. Nothing could be further from the truth because they can’t win the intellectual argument. What they have to do is try to smear you and you don’t care because you know that’s not true.”

 

Bannon has a sign on his mantelpiece that says, “There are no conspiracies but there are no coincidences” – placing him in a twilight zone between conspiracy theories and otherwise. War Room is his biggest mouthpiece. Last year a study by theBrookings Institution thinktank in Washington found that almost 20% of its episodes contained a false, misleading or unsubstantiated statement, making it a bigger disinformation spreader than any other political podcast. (Has Brookings ever done this on MSM or BBC?)

 

Valerie Wirtschafter, a Brookings fellow who led the research, said War Room had been one of the most prominent platforms for election denialism even after networks such as Fox News pulled back. “The way he approaches things that are more conspiratorial in nature… he’s quite effective at considering the questions in a way that makes the audience think it’s not immediately evident that he’s confirming them. There’s this idea that he seems to be hearing all sides of the conversation.”

 

As America braces for another divisive and volatile election, longtime Trump critics warn that Bannon still casts a long shadow. Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, said: “Steve Bannon is a if not the primary spiritual and intellectual force of this nationalist movement that is in control of the Republican party.

 

“He is a very powerful figure in today’s GOP [Grand Old Party] and it is inescapable in some ways that he will play a central role in whatever Trump administration emerges if Trump wins. He is the architect.As an avowed Leninist, he is a guy who is trying to engineer the revolution in his image.”(where’d they get this?)

Asked what a Bannon return to the White House would mean, Wilson replied: “Concentration camps. This guy keeps saying out loud they’re the enemies of the people, our opponents are deserve what they get, this hyperbolic rhetoric. He believes in power and chaos and will do whatever he can if he gets it. Whatever he could get away with in that circumstance, he will get away with it.” (Wilson and team have had pedophiles and probably still there, so yes BBC trusts this assholes opinion)

 

Bannon has spent years courting far-right nationalist movements around the world and the results were on vivid display at CPAC. Nigel Farage, a former leader of the Brexit party in Britain, observed that a decade ago he was the sole foreign-born speaker at the conference but now it has become a hub for populists from countries including Argentina, Brazil, El Salvador, Hungary and Spain.

 

Kurt Bardella, a Democratic strategist, said: “To his credit, and to America’s detriment, he was one of the first people to look outside of the American political system to find like minded public high-profile figures in foreign counties like Nigel Farage to play an outsized role in being messengers.”

 

Truss, who was removed as prime minister after just 50 days, found common cause with Bannon in blaming a “deep state” supposedly dominated by the left. Bardella, a former Breitbart News spokesperson and Republican congressional aide, added: “For people like Farage and Liz Truss, Bannon extends to them a second lease on life. They’ve peaked in terms of their public service career; there’s nothing left for them to be able to realistically attain.

 

“Here comes Bannon with this direct line to one of the two most powerful forces in American politics in Donald Trump: we will elevate you, you will have status, you will have the perception of influence, you again will be an influencer. These people are desperate for relevancy Bannon is giving them that combination of relevancy and legitimacy and access to power.”

 

(Truly this article is funny as hell, I can’t wait to listen to War room tomorrow. Highlighting Bannon only proves one thing, he’s effective in his support for Trump and America. Why else would the BBC-NWO write about Bannon?)

After Sleepy Joe’s Brownsville Visit, Border Patrol Union Annihilates Him With One Tweet

Mar. 2, 2024

Joe Biden visited the southern border for the second time during his 3+ years as President of the United States. It was a campaign stop. It was a photo op. It was a way for White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to say, “See, the President went to the border.”

 

His speech was the standard nonsensical gibberish that world leaders listen to when they want to laugh at America. He was somehow able to downplay the border crisis while calling it the most secure ever, though any problems at the border should be blamed on Donald Trump and climate change. And if you think I’m kidding, watch it. On second thought, don’t.

 

He talked to some border patrol agents while he was there. They seemed happy to see him, meaning the campaign isolated the handful of border patrol agents who do not despise the regime.But after he left, the Border Patrol Union’s Twitter account dropped an unfortunate series of truths about the man who stumbled their way for a short time.

 

Board AF1, take nap.

 

Wake up in place called Brownsville.

 

Read large teleprompter message, “It’s all Trump’s fault”.

 

Board AF1, ask who people in green uniforms were, told they “strap” illegal aliens, express horror, take nap.

 

Wake up, call a lid, hit beach, take nap.

 

It would be hilarious if it wasn’t spot-on accurate. We live in a clown world with a fake president pretending to call the shotswhile knowing that he gave control of the nation to globalists and the CCP long ago.
