Mike Pence is running hard to be the Mitt Romney of 2024, the controlled opposition establishment Republican nominee who will run for president and lose gracefully. Or if he somehow wins, he will do the Left’s bidding, but in a restrained, ostensibly conservative way. The formerly genuine conservative Pence showed that again Saturday at the Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, an annual event where speakers usually keep things light. The famously stone-faced former veep may have been incapable of cracking jokes, but he sure went all-in on making his remarks as heavy as possible and signaling that he would happily carry water for the Left,

Comments:

Hard to believe that this milquetoast moron actually thinks he has a shot at the Presidency. We've already suffered through Dole, McCain and Romney, establishment politicians who were nominated because it was "their turn!!" NEVER AGAIN!!

Pence will be running for President, and his tack will be “Nobody’s seen the troubles I’ve seen” about his relationship with Trump. So yeah, this is what he’ll start with, 1/6. His profile? I want all the Trump platform, but without the acrimony, namecalling, etc.

The only true fact Pence said is that he didn’t have the right to alter the electoral vote. There is absolutely nothing he could have. As to the rest he is delusional. He is also deluded thinking he has any chance of being the nominee for president.

A coup, and the country at stake, and Pence whines about his and his family's safety, when his family should have been at their work or school, not at his office. A real weakling and unbearable whiner that carries on this way, when he was so weak that he refused to do his job, when the job required him to do anything, which was almost never in the entirety of his term. And worse, this pathetic nobody knew and actively joined the coup, knowing full well about the faux emergency created to get the power to prevent anyone from accessing the courts with their grievances about a stolen election. And more, Pence set up Mike Flynn, participated in it, lied about it. Plus all the Rino appointments for office he recommended to Trump. Pence will go down in history alongside Aaron Burr. I should have mentioned Pence is a worthless traitor.

When some at this forum do not have a clear understanding of that the VP/president of the Senate COULD and SHOULD have done on January 6, our side is in trouble. If we are not well-informed, who on earth will be? Donald Trump knew. Question: Why was his family there? Seems showboaty. Contrary to his erroneous take, they were never in any danger. Did they bring him fresh Depends?

By the time it got to January 6, there was nothing realistically that could be done. Courts refused to hear legitimate claims and concerns of vote fraud. The fact that six or seven states all closed vote counting at almost the same time with Trump with a lead and resumed with, golly gee, Biden got all these millions of "votes" is a coincidence greater than winning the MegaMillions lottery jackpot every drawing for a month. Sundance reports an interesting fact that Ms. Pelosi, McConnell, and others placed emergency rules into place during the "riot" to avoid any challenges to electoral votes once the Congress re-convenied after the "insurrection." You know, maybe all the J6 stuff was a false flag stuff done by deep state operatives. Maybe not, but as the old saying goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean someone isn't following you.

Pence was the 'mole' in the Trump administration. He was instrumental in removing Gen. Flynn on flimsy excuses at the beginning. Noe it becomes clear he was the point man acting from orders of the Uniparty. He had plenipotentiary powers on Jan 6 - explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. His continued ridiculous insistence that he had no powers to 'overturn election results' is a dead giveaway..

Pence has been living a self-imposed dream of grandiose delusions since the November 2020 election and attempted to separate himself from Donald Trump in a very visible way. He has done that. His political career is over and Donald Trump is more popular than ever. His future involves a one-way trip home to Indiana.

Pence wants to run as the anti-Trump after he spent 4 years as his VP and then ran on his ticket for re-election. Now he’s playing the drama queen by falsely claiming his family was ‘in danger’ on January 6th. The truth is already out on that charade so either he doesn’t follow the news or he’s just using a tactic doomed for failure. The RNC cabal has already chosen a candidate and it isn’t him.

Electric Car Manufacturers Remove AM Radios
Claiming Safety Concerns

Some electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are scrapping the AM radio from their cars, claiming safety concerns. Although conservative talk radio dominates AM radio ratings, it is also considered a critical safety tool, as it is one of the primary ways that federal, state, and local officials communicate with the public during natural disasters and other emergencies. Automakers such as Ford and Tesla have ditched the AM radio from their newer EV models, arguing that the motors on EVs interfere with AM frequencies, creating buzzing and signal fading, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

Silicon Valley Bank’s collapse is almost entirely self-imposed, but they’re getting an almost-bailout anyway. President Biden has said the taxpayers will bear the brunt of guaranteeing all SVB deposits. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) already insures deposits up to $250,000, a pittance compared to the collapse of this billion-dollar bank. Many in the financial punditry class believe the move is necessary to prevent a chain reaction that could take down other big investment banks. There is plenty to be debated about the merits of that action,

As RedState’s Bonchie reported last week, Ron DeSantis expertly trolled media outlets by actually showing videos of books found in Florida public school libraries that contained sex and pornography. The news stations had to quickly kill their live feeds because you can’t show that stuff on television. The obvious question: if it’s too saucy for an adult audience—why is it in our kids’ schools? Tuesday afternoon, the Florida Governor’s response team—the Twitter account @DeSantisWarRoom—was it at again, taking footage of President Joe Biden lambasting the state for its policies on transgender surgeries and putting in a split-screen with videos showing some of the more benign steps of “gender-affirming surgery.”

Former President Donald Trump is intensifying his attacks on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, calling him disloyal and saying that his political career would have been over had he not endorsed his ultimately successful 2018 campaign. “He was dead as a dog, he was a dead politician. He would have been working perhaps for a law firm or doing something else,” Trump told a small group of reporters aboard his plane on Monday afternoon en route to Iowa, where he was to make an appearance that evening. Asked if he regretted endorsing DeSantis for governor in 2018, Trump responded: “Yeah maybe, this guy was dead. He was dead as a doornail.
