This time, it should be different. He’s no longer a political novice getting advice from The Swamp on how to drain itself. He’s seen the duplicity of those he once considered allies, which is why he proactively and publicly declined to include NeoCon Nikki Haley and Deep State Mike Pompeo in his second administration.

These are good moves, but it’s not enough. The rats are everywhere. This is Washington DC, after all, and rats are attracted to the nation’s capital like morbidly obese people are attracted to a Chinese buffet.

At least one man close to President Trump is going to fight to keep the NeoCons out. In fact, nobody other than Melania can get closer to the President than Donald Trump Jr.

Comedian Dave Smith issued a warning on 𝕏:

The “stop Pompeo” movement is great but it’s not enough. Right now we need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration. They have had their time at the table and brought nothing but disaster to the world and this country.

America First: screw the war machine!

Don Jr. replied:

Agreed!!! I’m on it.

Don Jr. has previously stated that the only real roll he wants in the next Trump administration is helping pick the people who will surround his father. He wants to be the gatekeeper and few people have greater incentives to keep the rats out of the White House than he does. Whether he wants to solidify his father’s place in history, save America from The Swamp, or prepare for his own political future (it’s all three), it behooves him to make sure the administration is loaded with people loyal to the nation and to his father.

There may be nobody better suited for the job. Perhaps more so than even his father, Don Jr. has his finger on the pulse of rumblings from the MAGA base. He talks often with MAGA influencers and has more freedom to engage with them behind the scenes than his father who is insulted as a necessity of his position.

Between new Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Don Jr., and the transition team, the personnel mistakes of the first administration are on track to be greatly reduced for the second. You can’t Drain The Swamp with people who have a vested interest in keeping it full. Trump’s second administration should be able to start off with the right people in the right places.

Asked by CNN whether she believes that Congress will eventually pass the bill, Nuland responded that she has confidence that, “we will do what we have always done, which is defend democracy and freedom around the world…”

What Nuland is attempting here is what the neocons always do. They try to wrap their terrible policies up in the American flag and sell it to the American people as something reflective of “our” values. If you oppose another neocon war, well then you are unpatriotic according to their trickery.

But Americans are waking up to the lies of the neocons and more and more are realizing that there is no “we” when the neocons are trying to sell another war. It is “them.” The “we” in the equation are the people who are being robbed to pay for what will inevitably be another neocon failure.

Does any American still believe that Washington was “defending democracy and freedom” when it used a pack of lies to get us into Iraq, where a country was destroyed and perhaps a million people were killed? How about when, after 20 years in Afghanistan, we managed to replace the Taliban…with the Taliban? And Syria and Libya and all the other interventions?

Was Washington “defending democracy” when Nuland and the rest of the neocons successfully overthrew a democratically elected government in Ukraine in 2014?

It’s getting harder and harder for the American people to choke down the war lies of the neocons. That is something that should make us feel optimistic. In the same interview, Nuland said she was confident that when House Members return to session next week, “after they’ve been out in their districts hearing from the American people,” they will vote to send the $61 billion to Ukraine.

Looking at public opinion polls, however, it is far more likely that any Member meeting with constituents during the break will hear the opposite. It is likely they will hear a demand that not another penny be spent on the brutal, futile, and disastrous Ukraine war. According to a Harris poll taken earlier this month, some 70 percent of Americans want talks to end the Ukraine war!

Americans no longer support the neocon war project in Ukraine. That is something to celebrate.

Perhaps in a last show of desperation, Victoria Nuland debuted another argument for keeping the war money flowing for Ukraine. She said, “we have to remember that the bulk of this money is going right back into this economy to make those weapons…”

Is this supposed to be attractive to the American people? The middle class and the poor are being destroyed by inflation and squeezed by a debased currency so that the wealthy, politically-connected weapons manufacturers can get even richer? Instead of money to rebuild this country and protect its borders, Americans should be thrilled to see their hard work go up in smoke, literally, in Ukraine?

The United States has sent over $100 billion in aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded on Feb. 24, 2022, and announced in January they would send 31 M1 Abrams main battle tanks after announcing a battery of MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missiles would be provided in December. The Biden administration announced plans to primarily send Ukraine M864 155-millimeter artillery shells, known as Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM), which dispense smaller explosive weapons over an area to attack personnel and vehicles.

“We are going to find out that between Clintons and a number of private equity firms and hyper global corporations, you’re going to find people have gotten rich from this and it’s really sad and it’s really despicable because the Ukrainians didn’t invite the war on themselves and I have disagreements with their leadership and not the people but you can almost see the elites of Washington and New York City salivating over acquiring more power and more money for themselves on the backs of the Ukrainian war effort,” Vance told Fox News host Jesse Watters. “Anybody who doesn’t see this for what it is is blind to reality.”

Vance also took issue with statements by a Ukrainian spokesperson, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, saying that Ashton-Cirillo threatened Americans who expressed doubts or concerns about sending aid to Ukraine.

“I shockingly learned this is actually a real person who really does purport to represent the Ukrainian military which, of course, is almost entirely funded by the American taxpayer,” Vance said. “Here’s the really crazy thing, Jesse: The original video I was responding to, this person, this Ukrainian spokesperson, says that anybody who engages in Russian propaganda is going to be hunted down literally threating violence against anybody who engages in quote Russian propaganda.”

“But as you know, Jesse, multiple American journalists have been accused of engaging in Russia propaganda and multiple members of the United States Senate have been accused,” Vance said. “So, are we really funding a military that is threatening the free speech rights of people who disagree with the Ukrainian war effort? That is preposterous and gives lie to the idea this is all about freedom and democracy. If it were all about freedom and democracy why are our paid guns threatening the free speech rights of all Americans?”

Ashton-Cirillo denied that the comments in the video Vance referred to were a call for violence or a threat in a post on Twitter.

Today’s youth are more likely to be marching in support of sexual perversion than wondering about the source and purpose of the 9/11 attack.

Over the years I have reported the mounting evidence provided by scientists and by architect Richard Gage’s Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth until the organization he created removed him at the request of the government, effectively destroying the organization.  But for me the proof that 9/11 was an inside job has always been that no one in government and security agencies was ever held accountable for the worst humiliation ever inflicted on an alleged “superpower.”

Instead, it took a year before the White House even agreed to an official coverup with the 9/11 Commission, another in the long line of commissions like the Warren Commission that validates the official story. If a few young Saudi Arabians had actually defeated the entire national security apparatus of the United States, the White House would have been screaming, and heads would have rolled.

The neoconservatives had just called for a “new Pearl Harbor” so they could launch their wars of destruction of Israel’s enemies in the Middle East. They immediately blamed 9/11 on “Muslim terrorists” and began their invasions that halted only when Russia blocked the neoconservatives’ overthrow of Syria.  So it is pretty clear who is responsible for 9/11 and why.

Many Americans today understand what really happened, but the government will never admit it.  It takes decades for the truth to come out, and by then everyone affected by the event is dead, and the event becomes ancient history.

It is paradoxical that President Trump is in the dock for questioning an election, while Dick Cheney and the neoconservatives, and the whore media that covered up for them, never faced a single charge.

Even more shocking is how few Republican voters realize they keep electing people who are working against their best interests, the nation, and the so-called Republican platform.

Steve Deace from The Blaze put some names to the few good ones in Congress. By his tally, only 30 out of 222 House Republicans have a 90% score on Conservative Review’s Liberty Score:

There are currently just 30 out of 222 House Republicans who have a 90% (A-grade) or higher Liberty Score via Conservative Review:

• • Biggs
  • Bishop
  • Boebert
  • Buck
  • Burchett
  • Cloud
  • Clyde
  • Davidson
  • Donalds
  • Duncan
  • Gohmert
  • Good
  • Gooden
  • Gosar
  • Greene
  • Herrell
  • Hice
  • Jordan

  • Massie
  • McClintock
  • Miller
  • Mooney
  • Moore
  • Nehls
  • Norman
  • Rosendale
  • Roy
  • Steube
  • Tiffany

On the other hand, 93/222 House Republicans currently have a Liberty Score under 70% (D/F-grade).

In other words, there are three times more terrible Republicans currently in the House then there are excellent ones.

Those who think we’re going to elect our way out of the current messes in this country get two things wrong. First, the rigged elections mean even many of the Republicans who are allowed to win are actually just stooges for the UniParty Swamp. Second, until there are actual conservatives and America First patriots in control of the party itself, it’s just going to be a lesser-of-two-evils scenario at best.

In some scenarios, the Republicans actually advance the machinations of the Globalist Elite Cabal faster than the Democrats. The Senate GOP is even worse than the House.

We have to stop thinking along the lines of Republican versus Democrat. That should be a very loose guideline to cover the basics, but we need to do much better than that with our discernment. This is why I’ve said for years that the primary elections are exponentially more important than the general elections. If we keep sending RINOs to the halls of government, we’re just empowering the UniParty Swamp. We need patriots who actually love this nation and work for the people to be our representatives.
