    Ron DeSantis just pulled this power move to stop Democrats from rigging the 2022 election
    JUL 13, 2022
    https://www.desantisdaily.com/ron-de...2022-election/

    "Polls show Democrats are set to take a beating in the Midterm elections.

    Republicans want to make sure they protect election integrity.

    And now Ron DeSantis just pulled this power move to stop Democrats from rigging the 2022 election.

    One of the main ways Democrats rigged the 2020 election was exploiting and overhyping the COVID pandemic to push through changes to mail-in voting, which allowed Democrats to boost turnout through the roof.States adopted no excuse mail-in voting and ballot harvesting drop box schemes allowing Democrats to flood key swing states with an unprecedented surge of mail-in ballots.

    Democrats also leveraged Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s foundation pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into states allegedly for “election administration” to fund get out of the vote operations to tip the outcome in their favor.

    Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is determined to stop that from happening in his state.

    And Governor DeSantis set a model for every state with a Republican Governor and Republican legislature to follow.

    In Florida, Governor DeSantis signed legislation making ballot harvesting a felony, beefing up voter ID laws, eliminating ballot drop boxes, and banning “Zuckerbucks.”

    Election integrity became an important issue for GOP voters following the 2020 election.

    Ron DeSantis making sure Florida has the strongest election integrity laws as possible on the books is not just an example of good governing.

    It is another sign that DeSantis is preparing to run for President in 2024 by making sure he can appeal to all corners of the conservative base.

    DeSantis already raised over $100 million for his re-election campaign, a war chest far greater than is required to win a second term in Florida.

    Polls show that Ron DeSantis is running second to Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

    If Donald Trump does not run for President, then DeSantis is the clear frontrunner.

    DeSantis’ record of achievement, his polling numbers, and fundraising totals are all signs that DeSantis is running for President in 2024.

    DeSantis Daily will keep you up-to-date with any new developments in this ongoing story."

    Joe Biden fist bumps Mohammed bin Salman during visit to Saudi Arabia

    Fist bumps as Joe Biden arrives to reset ties with ‘pariah’ Saudi Arabia


    the Guardian reported:

    Fri 15 Jul 2022 19.00 EDT

    Three years after Joe Biden vowed to make Saudi Arabia a pariah state over the assassination of a prominent dissident, the US president greeted Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with a fist bump as his administration attempts to reset relations and stabilise global oil markets.

    Donald Trump was personally welcomed to the conservative Gulf kingdom on his first presidential visit by King Salman. Biden, however, was met on the tarmac on Friday evening by the governor of Mecca and the Saudi ambassador to the US in a subdued ceremony. He then travelled to the city’s al-Salam palace, where he held talks with the 86-year-old king and his powerful heir, Prince Mohammed, before a working meeting.


    Oil, human rights, Iran, Israel and the war in Yemen are all on the agenda for what is likely to be a thorny 24-hour trip. Saudi Arabia has been a key strategic ally for the US for decades, both selling oil and buying weaponry, but when he was running for president, Biden vowed to turn the kingdom into a “global pariah” over the 2018 murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    After he took office in early 2021, Biden’s administration released US intelligence findings that concluded Prince Mohammed approved the operation targeting Khashoggi, a member of the Saudi elite who broke ranks and began writing articles for the Washington Post critical of the crown prince’s sweeping domestic reforms.

    Biden has since made a point of only speaking directly with the Saudi king, rather than the crown prince, but has been forced to re-evaluate the US’s relationship with the world’s largest oil producer in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which contributed to a 14-year high of $139.13 a barrel of Brent crude earlier this year.

    Washington is eager for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which hold the bulk of spare capacity within the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec), to pump more oil to help bring down petrol costs. The US’s worst inflation crisis in four decades looms over the US midterm elections in November, harming the Democratic party’s prospects.

    The choreography of Biden’s visit is being closely watched for evidence of a genuine detente with Prince Mohammed. Prior to Biden’s trip, the White House said due to Covid concerns he would be opting for fist bumps rather than handshakes and avoiding other physical contact, which has widely been interpreted as a way to avoid being photographed shaking the crown prince’s hand.

    Fred Ryan, the publisher of the Washington Post, for which Khashoggi wrote, said in a statement the fist bump was “shameful”, for “project[ing] a level of intimacy and comfort that delivers to [the prince] the unwarranted redemption he has been desperately seeking”.

    Hatice Cengiz, who was Khashoggi’s fiancée, tweeted:

    Quote “Is this the accountability you promised for [Khashoggi’s] murder?

    The blood of MBS’s next victim is on your hands.”


    In a short session with reporters in Riyadh, Biden was asked:

    “What do you say to Mrs Khashoggi?”

    Biden said:

    Quote
    “I’m sorry she feels that way. I was straightforward back then.

    I was straightforward today.

    I didn’t come here to meet with the crown prince.

    I came here to meet with the GCC.”

    article source:
    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...h-saudi-arabia


    to provide a visual contrast please note the difference in reception by Saudia Arabia

    the level of respect and honor given a REAL president of the United States of America





    and a senile usurper

    who neither merits

    nor receives

    neither respect

    nor honor





    while President Trump was met at the landing by the King personally,

    Biden only received an ambassador and governor

    i was not surprised that absolutely no agreement was reached

    frankly, the man is not capable of self determination either in words or actions

    much less the complexities of world level negotiations between two nations

    as i noted here,

    "it is unfortunate we allowed these usurpers and sub par beings to make a mockery of our great nation and steal an office that once held high respect the world over

    the repercussions of this allowance are now glaringly evident and impossible to deny

    irrespective of political affiliation ...."
    We should defend our way of life
    to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed,

    so that any adversary
    will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Report: Hunter Biden Laptop Details Dozens
    of 'Business' Meetings With VP Dad Joe


    NEWSMAX reports:

    "Materials harvested from Hunter Biden's infamous laptop reveal dozens of meetings between President Joe Biden and his son regarding business dealings, despite denials that the two never discussed Hunter's business activities, the New York Post reported Saturday.

    According to the report, materials gleaned from Hunter Biden’s laptop show more than 30 meetings between then-Vice President Biden and his son, Hunter, from 2008 to 2016, usually taking place shortly after Hunter returned from traveling abroad on business.

    "Hardly a day goes by without another revelation about how intimately involved Joe Biden was with his son Hunter Biden's corrupt foreign business dealings," House GOP Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N. Y., told the Post. "The fact that Joe was in meetings with senior foreign leaders on behalf of Hunter and his business associates while vice president further proves that Joe has been lying to the American people."

    Information contained in the laptop consisting of personal calendar entries detail Hunter relaying information to his dad relating to meetings with foreign clients his son was involved with at the time, in stark contrast to President Biden's claim that he "never" discussed business with his son while serving as former President Barack Obama's vice president.

    The list of those meeting with the younger Biden includes Cote d’lvoire Prime Minister Daniel Kablan Duncan in Washington on April 15, 2016, dinner with Russian oligarchs between Feb. 15-18, 2012, and Romanian Ambassador George Major, according to the Post.

    Those meetings often were followed by Hunter meeting or communicating with his father, the report said.

    While the laptop's authenticity was initially disputed, called Russian disinformation when it became public shortly before the 2020 election, it has since been labeled as authentic by several media sources, the Washington Examiner reported earlier this month.

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, however, would not comment on the flood of information contained in the once abandoned computer, when asked earlier this month during a press briefing."

    "From this podium, I'm not going to talk about alleged materials from the laptop. I'm not going to talk about alleged materials on the laptop. It's not happening," Jean-Pierre said.

    One of the voicemails retrieved from the device appears to have Biden telling his son that he was "clear" following a New York Times story covering Hunter Biden's business with the Chinese energy company CEFC.

    "Hey, pal, it's Dad. It's 8:15 on Wednesday night. If you get a chance, just give me a call. Nothing urgent. I just wanted to talk with you," Joe Biden said in the voicemail pulled from the device. "I thought the article released online, it's going to be printed tomorrow in The Times, was good. I think you're clear. And anyway, if you get a chance, give me a call. I love you."

    source: https://www.newsmax.com/politics/bid...16/id/1079083/

    and even one of my favorite sources for a quick pic on the latest news reported yesterday:





    the following video from July 10th details how dire the situation is in relations to the "Suspicious Activity" reports that the Treasurey Department is well aware of numbering in excess of 150+ with respect to Hunter Biden




    all of us are well aware that if only 10% of the subject of "Suspicious Activity" reports were Trump?

    a HUGE outcry and relentless reporting and investigation would have ensued

    in Hunter's case?

    James Comer, House Oversight Committee leader, reported that Joe Biden went in and changed the rules!

    Congress is now PROHIBITED from requesting said reports

    if that doesn't scream GUILT? and COMPLICITY in a crime?

    not to mention just plain obstruction of justice?

    i'm not sure what would

    We should defend our way of life

    Bombshells Undercut the ‘Big Lie:’ 21 Confirmed Illegalities, Irregularities from 2020 Election
    July 16, 2022 Georgia Star News Staff

    There are now nearly two dozen credible confirmations of wrongdoing, irregularities and illegalities that undercut the claims of bureaucrats, journalists and Democrats that the November 2020 general election was flawless.

    Democrats and their allies in the traditional news media have coined the term the "Big Lie" to dismiss anyone who questions the conduct of the 2020 election.

    But with each passing day, new irregularities, security vulnerabilities and illegalities are being unmasked by bombshell revelations from courts, legislators and other investigative bodies like the FBI and Homeland Security Department.

    The latest came last week when the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared that state election regulators had no legal authority to allow voters to cast ballots in mobile drop boxes, a jaw-dropping decision that invalidated the way tens of thousands of voters -- many of them Democrats -- cast their ballots,

    From Phoenix to Detroit, and Madison to Austin, there are now nearly two dozen credible confirmations of problems that undercut the claims of bureaucrats, journalists and Democrats that the November 2020 general election was perfect. In fact, it was quite imperfect.

    And while none of revelations, at this point, have persuaded courts to reverse the outcome of the presidential tally or unseat Joe Biden from the White House, they have shaken voter confidence in key battleground states and built a compelling case that the bigger lie was that the 2020 election was flawless.

    Here are 21 important revelations uncovered by Just the News over the last 18 months of reporting, complete with substantiating evidence and links:
    1. Illegal ballot drop boxes. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that the 570 drop boxes used during the 2020 election were unlawfully approved by the Wisconsin Election Commission, "Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes," the court declared. "WEC cannot. Ballot drop boxes appear nowhere in the detailed statutory system for absentee voting. WEC's authorization of ballot drop boxes was unlawful." State Rep. Janel Brandtjen told Just the News that hundreds of thousands of votes were cast in the illegal boxes in the 2020 race when Biden and Donald Trump were separated by less than 21,000 votes.
    2. A Foreign Intrusion. Federal authorities have confirmed that two Iranian nationals successfully hacked into a state computer election system, stole 100,000 voter registrations and used the data to carry out a cyber-intimidation campaign that targeted GOP members of Congress, Trump campaign officials and Democratic voters in the November 2020 election in one of the largest foreign intrusions in U.S. election history. The defendants "were part of a coordinated conspiracy in which Iranian hackers sought to undermine faith and confidence in the U.S. presidential election," U.S. Attorney Damian Williams declared in an indictment.
    3. The Laptop Lie: More than 50 national security experts, countless news organizations and large social media firms falsely told American voters in fall 2020 that the Hunter Biden laptop with damning revelations about Biden family corruption was Russian disinformation. In fact, it was a legitimate laptop already in the FBI's possession, and Hunter Biden was already under criminal investigation before voters cast their 2020 ballots. The false narrative had significant impact: polling shows a majority of American voters believe the pre-election censorship of the story amounted to election interference,
    4. Alleged Bribery. The former state Supreme Court justice appointed by the Wisconsin Legislature to investigate the 2020 election concluded that millions of dollars in donations to election administrators in five Democrat-heavy municipalities from the Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life violated state anti-bribery laws and corrupted election practices by turning public election authorities into liberal get-out-the-vote activists. “The Zuckerberg-funded CTCL/ Zuckerberg 5 scheme would prove to be an effective way to accomplish the partisan effort to 'turnout' their desired voters and it was done with the active support of the very people and the governmental institution (WEC) that were supposed to be guarding the Wisconsin elections administrative process from the partisan activities they facilitated,” Justice Michael Gableman wrote.
    5. Illegal ballot harvesting in Wisconsin. Gableman also exposed an extensive vote collection operation, known as ballot harvesting, in nursing homes in which third-party activists illegally collected the ballots of vulnerable residents, some of whom lacked the mental or physical capacity to vote or were forbidden from voting by guardianship agreements. State election regulators “unlawfully directed the municipal clerks not to send out the legally required special voting deputies to nursing homes, resulting in many nursing homes’ registered residents voting at 100% rates and many ineligible residents voting, despite a guardianship order or incapacity,” Gableman wrote in his explosive report.
    6. Ballot harvesting probe in the Peach State. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced he has opened a criminal investigation into allegations that liberal activists engaged in illegal ballot harvesting, collecting ballots from voters and delivering them in violation of state law. Raffensperger said he is planning to issue subpoenas to identify a whistleblower who admitted he engaged in the operation, and there could be prosecutions. The True the Vote election integrity group says in a formal state complaint that the man, identified as John Doe, admitted his role and identified nonprofits who funded it at $10 per ballot delivered. The watchdog group also claims it has assembled cell phone location records pinpointing the alleged harvesting by as many as 240 activists.
    7. Bad voter signatures? A review of Maricopa County's mail-in ballots in Arizona's 2020 presidential election estimated that more than 200,000 ballots with signatures that did not match voter files were counted without being reviewed, more than eight times the number the county acknowledged.
    8. 50,000 Arizona ballots called into question. An extensive audit by Arizona’s Senate officially called into question more than 50,000 ballots cast in the 2020 election, including voters who cast ballots from residences they had left. The tally in question is nearly five times the margin of Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
    9. Foreign voters found on Texas rolls. An audit of Texas voter rolls identified nearly 12,000 noncitizens suspected of illegally registering to vote and nearly 600 cases in which ballots may have been cast in the name of a dead resident or by a voter who may also have voted in another state. Officials are now in the process of removing the foreign voters and deciding whether prosecutions are warranted.
    10. Foreign voters found on Georgia rolls. An audit by Georgia’s Secretary of State has identified more than 2,000 suspected foreigners who tried to register to vote in the state, though none reached the point of casting ballots. Raffensperger says prosecutions may be forthcoming.
    11. More noncitizen voters. The Gableman investigation in Wisconsin also found noncitizens had made it onto the state voters rolls in violation of state law. The Wisconsin Election Commission failed “to record non-citizens in the WisVote voter database, thereby permitting non-citizens to vote, even though Wisconsin law requires citizenship to vote — all in violation of the Help America Vote Act,” the investigator wrote.
    12. Election Machine Vulnerabilities: Immediately after the November 2020 elections, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security agency declared there was no hacking or machine vulnerabilities. The Iran hacking case put the lie to the first claim. And last month, the Homeland Security agency admitted in a new report that the popular Dominion Democracy Suite ImageCast X voting system had nine vulnerabilities, most of which include the ability to "install malicious code" on the machines. Federal officials say they don't know of any efforts to exploit those vulnerabilities in 2020, but the reversal in stories has significantly shaken confidence in the bureaucracy's assurances.
    13. Ballot chain of custody issues. The Georgia Secretary of State's office has opened an investigation into the handling of drop box ballots last November in one of the state's Democratic strongholds following a media report that there were problems with chain of custody documentation in DeKalb County.
    14. Fulton County irregularities. Georgia’s handpicked election monitor for Fulton County, the state’s largest voting district, documented two dozen pages of mismanagement and irregularities during vote counting in Atlanta in November 2020, including double-scanning of ballots, insecure transport of ballots and violations of voter privacy. The revelations prompted the state to take steps to possibly put Fulton County in receivership, empowering state officials to run the elections. Most of Fulton County's election officials have left their jobs.
    15. Errant vote counting. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp referred the audited November 2020 election results in Fulton County to the State Election Board after multiple reviews found three dozen significant problems with absentee ballot counting, including duplicate tallies, math errors and transposed data. Kemp’s referral calls into question hundreds of ballots in the official count.
    16. Dirty voter rolls. Michigan’s official state auditor has found that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson failed to adhere to state election law by properly updating and reconciling Michigan’s qualified voter roll. This oversight, according to the audit, increased the risk of ineligible voters casting ballots.
    17. Illegal exemptions from voter ID. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled as many as 200,000 voters were allowed to illegally skip voter ID for absentee ballots by claiming they were indefinitely confined by COVID when there was no such legal authority to do so. Biden beat Trump by about 20,000 votes in the state.
    18. Uneven enforcement of election laws. The Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau identified more than 30 problems with the administration of elections in 2020, including unlawful orders and uneven enforcement of the law and urged lawmakers to make sweeping improvements.
    19. More illegal harvesting. In Arizona, a half dozen people have already been indicted on charges of illegal harvesting in a probe by Attorney General Mark Brnovich that shows signs of expanding. It comes after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Democrats' arguments and concluded Arizona’s ban on harvesting was constitutional.
    20. Voter fraud in Michigan. Michigan charged three women in connection with voter fraud schemes, including efforts to cast ballots on behalf of non-consenting nursing home residents.
    21. Still more nursing home fraud. In Wisconsin, Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced his investigators have secured evidence that eight out of 42 residents at a local nursing home had been recorded as casting absentee ballots that their families said was not possible because the residents didn't possess the cognitive ability to vote.

    Ron DeSantis held a secret meeting
    JUL 15, 2022
    https://www.desantisdaily.com/ron-de...m_content=2302

    "Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continues to make Joe Biden and the Democrats regret trying to turn DeSantis into public enemy number one.

    That decision continues to haunt the Left.

    And now Ron DeSantis held a secret meeting that will terrify Joe Biden.

    Ron DeSantis looks like a politician with his eye on a prize bigger than the Governor’s Mansion.

    Governor DeSantis already raised over $100 million dollars for his re-election campaign.

    Governor DeSantis racked up a series of wins on fighting back against woke corporations and ideology in schools, and election integrity.

    And now Governor DeSantis hosted a meeting of top donors and fellow governors in Florida in a move that looked like the first step towards building a national network that can sustain a presidential campaign.

    POLITICO reports:

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently held a confab of dozens of his top national donors as well as a handful of fellow Republican governors and prominent candidates he’s close to as he runs for reelection and eyes a presidential run in 2024, according to two sources familiar with the event.

    Attendees at the event in Fort Lauderdale — which sources described as the most significant assembly of Republican governors outside of the RGA so far this year — included Govs. Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Henry McMaster of South Carolina, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma and Bill Lee of Tennessee, Arkansas gubernatorial candidate and former Trump White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Maine Gov. and current gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage and Nevada Senate candidate Adam Laxalt.

    Conservative media influencers in attendance included Buck Sexton, Lisa Boothe and Josh Hammer.

    A recent New York Times/Siena poll found Ron DeSantis in second place to Donald Trump in a 2024 GOP Presidential Primary.

    DeSantis earned the support of 25 percent of Republicans.

    No other candidate broke into double digits.

    Governor DeSantis was one of the Republicans who refused to rule out a 2024 campaign if Donald Trump ran for re-election.

    And while Governor DeSantis has not specifically announced any White House ambitions and kept his focus on his re-election campaign this November, all the moves Governor DeSantis made have all the hallmarks of a prospective Presidential candidate."

    (Billionaires including Elon Musk are lining up to support DeSantis. See: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...nt/7633879001/ )

    was pretty surprised (shocked kinda) to find not one, but TWO foreign sources definitively asserting the intention to run for Presidency by Pompeo ..





    Mike Pompeo ready to run against Donald Trump for presidency

    the Times in UK reported:

    "Mike Pompeo, the former US secretary of state widely thought to be loyal to Donald Trump, told The Times he was prepared to run against the former president for the White House in 2024.

    Pompeo, 58, who was also the CIA director, has been giving speeches and running advertisements in the early nominating states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina after returning to the political fray following a dramatic loss of weight.

    His disclosure that he is considering running against his former boss comes as Trump, 76, gave his clearest indication that he will try to win back the presidency. Confidants also say Trump is pushing to announce his comeback before November’s midterm elections in a move seen as much to ward off rivals ..."

    read full article
    here


    and





    Taipei Times also reported:


    "Former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo on Saturday told British daily the Times that he was prepared to vie for the Republican nomination for US president in 2024.

    Pompeo, who was state secretary from April 2018 to January last year under former US president Donald Trump, could be running against his former boss, who has said that he would try to “win back the presidency.”

    Pompeo visited Taiwan for the first time in March, and in a speech in Taipei he urged the US to officially recognize Taiwan as a free, independent nation and establish official diplomatic ties.

    He also warned against the negative effects that China attacking or occupying Taiwan would have on the US, saying that it could hurt the US economy or weaken the US’ influence in the Indo-Pacific region.

    Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Johnny Chiang (江啟臣) yesterday said that he was not surprised by Pompeo’s plan to compete for the nomination, as US President Joe Biden’s approval ratings are declining.

    Pompeo has remained publicly active after leaving office, which is “a gesture of preparing to run for the presidency,” Chiang added."

    i don't know what to make of it,

    is it intended as detraction from President Trump's future bid for preidency?

    i don't believe that President Trump expected this as he, mistakenly had previously stated his belief that were he to announce his candidancy? neither Pompeo nor DeSantis, would attempt to obstruct his 2024 bid for presidency

    "It is against the law to block traffic, so officers are going to give our standard three warnings before they start making arrests," the police force tweeted earlier in the day. "We have already given our standard three warnings. Some of the demonstrators are refusing to get out of the street, so we are starting to make arrests."

    Several of the representatives who were arrested released statements about the incident.

    Donald Trump, Eric and Melania
    Attend Ivana Trump’s Manhattan Funeral

    The New York Post reported:

    "Ivana Trump, the glamorous businesswoman and ex-wife of former President Donald Trump, was remembered as “a force of nature” and “the embodiment of the American dream” at her funeral in Manhattan Wednesday.

    “She had brains; she had beauty,” her son, Eric Trump, said in a speech at the historic St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church on the Upper East Side.

    “She was the embodiment of the American dream…She was a force of nature,” he told mourners.

    His mom, a former model and onetime professional skier, could beat any man down the slopes, any woman on the runway.”

    “She ruled the three of us [kids] with an iron fist but also a heart of gold,” Eric said of himself and siblings Ivanka and Donald Jr.

    Donald Trump, wife Melania and sons Barron and Don Jr. also honored the Czech-born, famous New Yorker at the private service."

    "Clad in a black suit, the ex-commander-in-chief arrived at the Upper East Side house of worship amid tight security, as dozens of mourners gathered on a sidewalk outside to pay respects to the 73-year-old “power blonde,” who died from a fall last week.

    Roughly 100 mourners sat inside the church, which was decorated with red roses and candles in honor of Ivana, ex-wife of Donald and mother to three of his five children. At the front of the Gothic-style church were two blown up, gold-framed images of Ivana — including one of her gracing the cover of Vanity Fair.

    The invitation-only funeral was billed as a “Celebration of Life,” with the invite featuring a photo of Ivana on the slopes."





    "Eric’s wife, Lara Trump, addressed the mourners as well, as did Ivanka Trump, who attended alongside husband Jared Kushner. Tiffany Trump was spotted inside the church, too.

    In an emotional speech, Ivanka Trump described her mom as a tough-as-nails trailblazer in the business world."





    "Don Jr. called this mom “fearless and independent” for “escaping the iron curtain” of then-communist Czech Republic.

    “[She] shattered so many norms,” he said, describing her as industrious-meets-glamorous.

    The day after her divorce with Donald she marched into the plaza and got back to work, he said. Ivana could command a board room — then make a “group of construction workers blush,” he said.

    Eric Trump said his mother remained youthful until the end, despite her recent health issues.

    may she rest in peace and prayers for a bubble of grace to surround her children, family and friends that loved her ..

    i believe she was a rock of support for president Trump and i'm certain he is feeling the loss and hurting



    Ivana DID become an icon and left her mark forever imprinted in American culture

    one of the many cameo appearances that she made throughout her life can be seen here

    Biden's doctor stops heart meds with COVID treatment --

    despite risks of blood clots

    NY Post reports:

    "President Biden’s physician stopped the commander-in-chief’s use of heart medications Thursday after he began to take Paxlovid to treat COVID-19, White House officials said — despite the fact that doing so elevates the risk of dangerous blood clots.

    Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House coronavirus coordinator, said at a press briefing that it’s “very standard” to discontinue the medications during a five-day regimen of the antiviral Paxlovid.

    Medical experts had expressed concern about Biden’s use of blood thinner Eliquis to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat condition, while he takes Paxlovid. Biden also takes Crestor to lower his cholesterol.

    Jha didn’t address the fact that the Food and Drug Administration specifically warns that “premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including Eliquis, increases the risk of thrombotic events,” meaning blood clots.

    In 1988, Biden survived two brain aneurysms, which blood clots can cause. The drug Eliquis is marketed to lower the risk of stroke and clots for people who have atrial fibrillation.

    Jha told reporters that O’Connor told him that heart medications “need to be stopped when you take Paxlovid.”

    "“It’s a very standard, common thing that we do when we give people Paxlovid,” he said. “You don’t need to do anything in those circumstances. They both get stopped for the five days that he’s on Paxlovid and then they get restarted and it’s totally fine and pretty normal practice.”

    The FDA recognizes Paxlovid as potentially interacting negatively with anticoagulant medications, but not specifically Eliquis. The heart drug’s manufacturer advises caution about mixing the two.

    Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Eli Gelfand, a cardiologist, told The Post that “generally in patients who take Eliquis and are prescribed Paxlovid, the dose of Eliquis is reduced by half or the drug is temporarily held altogether.”

    Giroir said in a Fox News interview that Biden easily could be off his cholesterol medications for a few days, but warned that “it would be more of a problem to be off his blood thinners, which he really does need.”


    Quote
    “Maybe some of his comments yesterday about having cancer — really that could have been from his brain fog from having COVID. This is very, very common. It occurs in the majority of people,” Giroir said.
    Siegel agreed, saying:

    Quote
    “Especially since one of his symptoms that he was talking about was fatigue

    I think that that symptom might imply a certain amount of brain fog …

    maybe that explains some of the comments that he made yesterday, you know, about being confused about the cancer issue
    .”

    source: https://nypost.com/2022/07/21/bidens...vid-treatment/

    Ronny Jackson, Congressman for #TX13 | Former White House Physician & Retired Navy Rear Admiral | Texan, Veteran, Physician, Leader tweeted the 20 second video of the senile one saying he'd gotten cancer:





    one of the things i missed yesterday was Biden's bizzare comments about getting cancer from something COVID related

    i have to admit, this was in part, because this man says something ridiculous just about every time he speaks

    so it would be an exercise sure to rob you of peace to make an attempt to keep up with his gibberish or nonsense

    but it has them spooked

    they are falling ALL over themselves to provide lame explanations for his comment on having cancer

    they have now asserted he MUST have foggy brain AS a symptom of COVID

    why this? of ALL the innumerable gaffes that the man has vocalized?

    why does this require such repeated explanations?

    i'd love for him to be on the way out .. if only the cackling one was not his replacement

    Kari Lake, Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate


    Kari Lake, Gubernatorial Candidate for Arizona just finished speaking at the Arizona Rally where

    President Trump will speak at 7 pm Mountain Time

    one of the things she promised is the COMPLETION of the wall, irrespective of the senile one. she actually has made the statement


    Quote
    Come to Arizona and I'll fly to airport to meet you. Just try to arrest me

    The people of this country WANT a border and i'm going to give it to them

    She indicated her willingness to declare an invasion on the southern border of Arizona. And she actually believes that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman, something i could have never fathomed growing up would be put in question

    She touched on many subjects and i managed to jot down a few quotes:


    “I believe we’ve got two genders, just two”

    “and you are right .. Trump won”


    and one whose statistics just bowled me over

    Quote
    “how many don’t even watch the corrupt news anymore?

    The ratings are in the toilet”

    In Phoenix they only had 2000 people watching

    out of a reach of over 6 million people?

    ONLY 2000 were actually watching! haha!”

    She commented on the impact of the COVID restriction on young people noting:

    “what’s so cool is we’re going to see the largest movement of conservative young people we’ve ever seen. These young people lived through the horrors of COVID and they know who is responsible

    They didn’t have prom, they didn’t get to be with their classmates and friends, dances, parties ..”


    and i've got to hit post because the crowd is going wild as President Trump is about to come on!!



    God Bless America!

    God Bless our Country and its Citizens!

    God bless the USA!



    so without further ado:

    BREAKING NOW LIVE VIDEO


    PRESIDENT TRUMP LIVE RALLY BROADCAST


    President Trump is coming on in minutes!!.

    the crowd is TRULY going WILD already!

    Kari Lake, Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate


    Kari Lake, Gubernatorial Candidate for Arizona just finished speaking at the Arizona Rally where

    President Trump will speak at 7 pm Mountain Time

    one of the things she promised is the COMPLETION of the wall, irrespective of the senile one. she actually has made the statement


    Quote
    Come to Arizona and I'll fly to airport to meet you. Just try to arrest me

    The people of this country WANT a border and i'm going to give it to them

    She indicated her willingness to declare an invasion on the southern border of Arizona. And she actually believes that a man is a man, and a woman is a woman, something i could have never fathomed growing up would be put in question

    She touched on many subjects and i managed to jot down a few quotes:


    “I believe we’ve got two genders, just two”

    “and you are right .. Trump won”


    and one whose statistics just bowled me over

    Quote
    “how many don’t even watch the corrupt news anymore?

    The ratings are in the toilet”

    In Phoenix they only had 2000 people watching

    out of a reach of over 6 million people?

    ONLY 2000 were actually watching! haha!”

    She commented on the impact of the COVID restriction on young people noting:

    “what’s so cool is we’re going to see the largest movement of conservative young people we’ve ever seen. These young people lived through the horrors of COVID and they know who is responsible

    They didn’t have prom, they didn’t get to be with their classmates and friends, dances, parties ..”


    and i've got to hit post because the crowd is going wild as President Trump is about to come on!!



    God Bless America!

    God Bless our Country and its Citizens!

    God bless the USA!



    so without further ado:

    BREAKING NOW LIVE VIDEO


    PRESIDENT TRUMP LIVE RALLY BROADCAST


    President Trump is coming on in minutes!!.

    the crowd is TRULY going WILD already!

    She is amazing!!! I watched a video where she was being ambushed by a Australian liberal journalist and she was amazing. Kerri turned everything back on the journo indicating his countryman had no rights because they have no second amendment and that if governments tried to pull here what they were doing in Australia it could and would be stopped.
    She's amazing and brave.
    As a long time tv personality news anchor Kerri lost her job for recording her bosses tell her they didn't care about reporting real stories only in negative engagement of Trump.
    She gave the recording to project veritas if memory serves me.

    President Trump Promises to Rehire Military Fired by Biden
    or Refusing Experimental Vaccine – With Backpay


    Gateway Pundit Reports:

    "President Donald Trump spoke at the Turning Point USA Conference in Tampa, Florida on Saturday.

    This was after he spoke late into the night at a rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona the night before.

    During his speech, President Trump defended the thousands of military personnel fired by Joe Biden, Mark Milley and Floyd Austin for not taking the experimental mRNA COVID vaccine."


    Quote
    President Trump:

    “We have to abolish all Covid mandates and lockdowns,

    re-hire every patriot who was shamefully fired

    from the military with an apology.

    We have to give them an apology

    and all of their backpay
    .

    Source: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...backpay-video/

    This particular point?

    would garner WIDE support from ALL military, their families

    and the people in this country that are grateful for their service

    i imagine it would generate positive momentum amongst ALL who suffered loss

    as well as their families and loved ones

    there is a backlash coming ..

    people can ONLY be pushed so far into a corner

    before they've had enough

    and arise with courage to reclaim their power unapologetically

    Some 78.7% of surveyed young conservatives picked former President Donald Trump as their Republican presidential nominee of choice.

    Trump easily defeats DeSantis for ‘24 nod
    in Fla. straw poll of young conservatives

    NY Post reports:

    "Young conservatives overwhelmingly chose former President Donald Trump over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a straw poll at a summit in the Sunshine State on Sunday.

    Asked who they would vote for if the former president launched a re-election bid for 2024, 78.7% of the attendees at the Turning Point USA gathering chose Trump, while 19% picked DeSantis, Fox News reported.

    No other Republican even came close.

    South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem was the nearest at 1%, followed by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo at 0.5%, while Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence finished with 0.3% a piece.

    Trump delivered Saturday night’s keynote address at the summit in Tampa.

    Cruz and DeSantis also spoke at the weekend gathering.

    Attendees at the conference were also asked about which potential Democratic 2024 candidate would be the hardest to defeat.



    The poll was conducted in DeSantis’ home state of Florida.

    "California Gov. Gavin Newsom led the pack at 30.3%.

    Former First Lady Michelle Obama came in second with 13.6%, Hillary Clinton at 10.5%, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders at 10.3%, Vice President Kamala Harris at 7.9%, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 5.9% and President Biden coming in at 4.4%.

    Rounding out the Democratic field were Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 3.8%, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii with 1% and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams at 0.5%."



    Only 19% of those polled opted for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

    i'm pretty sure it infuriates the left that no amount of programming, lying, slandering, or any other subversive tactics employed by them to manipulate the conservative base to abandon Trump work

    perhapas we all filter out the flouride from our water?

    or we have maintained our preponderence to think for ourselves

    and so the "obedience abd compliance" chips

    or whatever causes total acceptance of subjugation just don't work on us?

    either way .. despite SIX years of harrassment and continual debasement?

    NOT "as directed"

    and i just have to say how proud and grateful i am

    for each person that stands strong and independent

    we are courageously defying the pervasive Social Programming that relentlessly assaults us
