Trump Turns On Vivek – “deceitful
campaign tricks” “Not MAGA”

Original Article

Posted By: Harlowe, 1/13/2024 11:57:34 PM

Vivek comes across as incredibly smarmy. He made his fortune in what amounted to a pump-and-dump play with a pharmaceutical company, and he reminds me of the sham-wow guy. There is no core, he’s a sales guy, closing the deal is his only principle. Vivek’s strategy has been to suck up to Trump and Trump supporters, waiting for Trump to fall, to set himself up as the alternative to DeSantis.[Snip]But OPEN YOUR EYES to the hard TRUTH: this system will stop at nothing to keep this man away from the White House. Just because it’s wrong doesn’t mean it won’t happen & we owe it to our nation

I have been very impressed with how Vivek has handled himself. Which doesn't mean he's not a con, which doesn't mean he wouldn't be an incompetent president. But verbally, I'm very impressed. He's running for president, but he doesn't attack Trump- he'd be pretty stupid to do that, Chris. But I need more time- like several years- to make sure he's the real deal. Assuming he proves to be the real deal.

At this point I accept and believe whatever President Trump says about politicians. Vivek came out of nowhere. Sounds good but don't they all. I didn't trust him anyway. Nor DeSantis and especially not Haley.

There's nothing I could add to what #1 and #2 have said. Push has finally come to Shove and there is no one other than Trump that I can see standing for election. I pray he will be kept safe, especially for the next 297 days.

Puzzling. PT has to pick someone for Veep. Vivek is the only one who hasn't trashed him. Is he going to pick another Pence? Is there anyone out there as boring as Pence?

I cannot agree with the author’s assessment. Trump has a substantial lead and what would it profit him to trash the only guy who actually promotes policies that advances MAGA? Is he doing it just to rack up a bigger win? Vivek has no chance of winning Iowa although he may have a good showing there and give Haley something to worry about. DeSantis has already crashed and is like the walking dead. I would like to see Vivek move on Haley but I don’t know if that will happen. Trump has my vote because I trust him and that is one factor that is lacking with Vivek. He talks a great game but can he back it up. I just don’t see how the author has the confidence to go after Ramaswamy. The same thing he is saying about him could have been said about Trump in the 2016 race. I would just caution everyone not to throw the baby out with the bath water. We need articulate supporters to combat the lies. I am not naïve and am not going to bash Vivek without more proof. I am cautiously optimistic that he is what he says he is. If he is not, it will come out and he will be exposed. Remember, there are all kinds of shenanigans going on out there. Who says the author is not just trying to stir the pot? I see Vivek as a wing man of sorts, he is getting the message out there, but I don’t believe he is a spoiler. I could be wrong, but time will tell.

I've seen through Ramaswamy for a while. He says what he thinks conservatives want to here. I agree that he just wants to close the deal. He even spoke of abolishing the FBI, ATF, and some other alphabet agencies, which are extreme right positions. You want to reform agencies like the FBI, not abolish them. I think he says what he thinks staunch conservatives want to hear.

We've come to a day and time where everyone has to prove themselves. We've been duped for too long by fake conservatives and RINOs. Too long! I don't have a read on Vivek, but I don't think he should be running for president either. The new, young conservatives like him, and he's being pushed somewhat by Candace Owens. I'm not one of her fans even though I agree with her about 40 percent of the time.

I have often thought V spoke articulately , has a good message.. but way way too smooth.. he comes across as a used car salesperson He is personable, and likable.. and has Soros connections.. so ultimately, he is not to be trusted.

The extortion of Donald Trump 2 replies

President Trump has been robbed of his freedom of speech. None of this has happened by accident. There has always been a political purpose behind the laws and the indictments and the extortion.[Snip]One of the great mythic stories from Middle Ages is that of Robin Hood, who was an outlaw on the run in Sherwood Forest with his merry men. Those men are now Rudy Giuliani and the rest of the Trump team who have been indicted.[Snip]The whole process has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the justice system now exists to oppress Trump, oppress his family, oppress his closest associates, and oppress his supporters.

Insulting voters isn’t smart, but talking directly to them about change or options in a positive way on the issues can bear fruit. [Snip] Conservatives, including Trump, should stop railing against Biden and start talking directly to his voters. ...

Fox News contributor and George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley argued Friday that the federal government has the “upper hand” in the ongoing showdown between Texas and the Biden administration. [Snip] The ruling does not require Texas to take any action to remove the wire fencing at the behest of the Supreme Court. Rather, the ruling states that federal border patrol agents have the right to remove the fencing if it impedes their ability to carry out the Biden Administration’s orders. [Snip] “The problem is that federal courts are unlikely to agree that this is the ‘invasion’ referenced in the Constitution.

In 2021, early on in America’s historic border crisis, I wrote that the United Nations was abetting the problem by handing out debit cards and cash vouchers to aspiring illegal border crossers on their way north. [Snip] In a nutshell, the UN and its advocacy partners want to spread $372 million in “Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA),” and “Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MCA)” to 624,300 immigrants who in-transit to the United States during 2024. That money is most often handed out, other UN documents show, as pre-paid, rechargeable debit cards but also hard “cash in envelopes,” bank transfers, and mobile transfers the U.S. border-bound travelers can use for whatever they want.

In Davos the masters and servants of the globalist elite gather: characters who openly declare that they want to reduce the world’s population through wars, famines and organized pestilence; characters who use the complicity of our rulers, international institutions, and especially high finance and media, which are totally in their hands. How would Our Lord have spoken to the Sanhedrin of criminal subversives at the World Economic Forum? [Snip] Not what Bergoglio said, surely. And this proves once again that the Argentine Jesuit is a servant of the globalist elite: whether he does it out of self-interest or due to blackmail matters little.

In the latest episode of “Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is a Racist,” Reid hit out at people who oppose open borders immigration policy during a conversation with Paola Ramos, a former advisor to Hillary Clinton. Reid was especially fixated on Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), who has been vocal in his criticism of the Biden administration for its failure to handle the border crisis.

South Carolina saved Joe Biden's quest for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 when it gave him his first primary victory, setting him up to be the nominee.

Joe Biden went to South Carolina on Saturday to campaign. He barely does any work as it is, spends a lot of his time on vacation, but now during the little time he is actually "working," he's trying to pull himself together to campaign. It's not working. He can't seem to pull it together anymore. He was always bad but it's even worse now. Now the incoherence is more and more apparent, as is the out-of-control anger and the slurring. First, he seemed to blank out for a moment, then said, "Folks... [lengthy pause, mumbles] If were smart, I'd say thank you and leave."

E. Jean Carroll’s second defamation lawsuit closed on Friday as a New York jury determined that former President Donald Trump owes her $83.3 million for defaming her in 2019. However, what has continually fallen under the radar is the fact that there are serious concerns with the woman’s entire story. Yet, she was awarded tens of millions of dollars. Carroll originally came out with her story in 2019, detailing the alleged incident, claiming that Trump sexually assaulted her in a Bergdorf-Goodman dressing room in the mid-1990s:

A well-coordinated, well-funded, and high-powered network of leftist organizations, led by a group whose efforts 2016 Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton promoted, is behind the push to remove former President Donald Trump, the 2024 frontrunner for president from any party, from the ballot, Breitbart News has learned. But it’s much broader than that: For years, this network of leftists grew from a powerful vast left-wing conspiracy unmasked a decade ago into now being the dominating force on the left determined to stop Trump at all costs. What’s more, these leftists clearly control what top Democrats are saying, forcing their leaders to adopt their narrative.

Independent urban legend tracking and fact-checking website Snopes took a huge amount of fire on Saturday after marking a true story about President Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards “false” — so much heat that eventually they reversed their own ruling and the story is now marked “true” on the site. At issue was a photo of Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards, which went viral on the right leaning side of social media before garnering enough attention to warrant a Snopes check. The photo, which shows Biden wearing (a) hard hat backwards, was included in the Snopes article that first called the story false.

It’s a .38 Special revolver. Up until one month ago, I had scant idea what such a gun looked like or could do. My husband eventually made the decision to get a gun, which surprised me a little as he is a very peaceable man. Yet, he is a lover of the U.S. Constitution: peaceable, but no fool. This week is our 30th anniversary. For our anniversary present, we bought the gun together. We have talked about buying a gun over the past few years. We live in the South in a semi-rural area bordering the Gulf of Mexico. Traditionally, gun ownership is considered mostly normal here.
