Newsmax is back on my Directv, thank goodness. Rob Schmitt tonight had a segment last night that brings clarity to dems/uniparty game plan. Start at the 6 minute 50 second mark at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJuTYiTZux0.

The Hill (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjh6IX8mJP-AhWEHjQIHXzwBD8QFnoECAkQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fthehill.com%2Fhomenews%2Fadministration%2F3728174-biden-suggests-trump-will-not-take-power-again-if-he-runs-in-2024%2F&usg=AOvVaw1c1mLFUcC2MeO3fBeTvlap) writes after President Trump teases his big announcement: Bite me at a November 9th, 2022 news conference "When asked at a post-midterms press conference how other world leaders should view this moment for America, with Trump potentially running for the presidency again, Biden said he will make sure Trump doesn’t take power.

“We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power if he does run, making sure he — under legitimate efforts of our Constitution — does not become the next president again,” Biden said.

Disappointed that Conrad Black did not include vote fraud. What is this-?, the 2020 Vote Fraud cannot be mentioned in polite company?? YGBSM.

DeSantis is coming to Hillsdale College tomorrow, Thursday, 6 April. He is giving an address which will be streamed (when a link is announced I can put it up if anyone is interested). He'll also have a one-on-one with Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn, before returning to FLA.

Given:

1. DeSantis is backed by lots of establishment GOP money.

2. GOP establishment hates Trump, as well as fears him.

3. DeSantis support for J6, Trump, and Maga has been weak.

4. Trump has been attacking DeSantis

5. DeSantis in some polls was ahead of Trump, but is now far behind him.

6. DeSantis clarified (changed) his position to the usual Putin is a dictator, Ukraine establishment position.

7. Trump has been indicted, which has made him a martyr to his supporters, and sympathetic on being targeted by the left.

8. Very low trust by voters of our media, government, voting, and other establishments.

9. Trump is very effective in controlling the media cycle. The only thing that worked against him was full censorship. The censorship has been exposed, and reduced since he announced his candidacy.

10. The US is headed for more economic pain, and is in an economic war.

11. The Western financial system has lost trust and credibility with non Western countries.

12. Countries are fleeing the use of dollars for international trade.

13. Russia is still advancing and bleeding the West in Ukraine.

14. Sanctions against Russia have actually backfired.

15. The establishment gop is turning a blind eye to voter fraud, and is more focused on defeating Maga candidates.

16. Lots of anger over Covid and the Vax, but the side effects are still being suppressed. Trump is still supporting the Vax.

17. DeSantis is very effective on the anti Dei / culture war stuff.

18. DeSantis just signed constitutional carry.

Guesses / Swags:

1. DeSantis is cautious and will wait and see what happens with Trump.

2. DeSantis outside of Florida is not connecting with blue collar, working class voters.

3. DeSantis will continue to build his Candidacy credentials. Trip to Israel, etc.

4. DeSantis will continue his anti Dei / culture war stuff.

What DeSantis should do, but won’t:

1. Go full scorched earth on the Trump indictments.

2. Speak out on the Jan 6 political prisoners.

3. Be more like JD Vance on Ukraine.

4. Speak up on voter fraud.

5. Patch up his relationship with Trump and become a supporter as Cruz did.

Puzzling over the dawning realization (as expressed at different times by Milley and died-in-the-wool Neos like Mack), that the US is at a dire stage in the ground war in Ukraine with the much talked about spring offensive still a pipe dream, while in a NY courtroom the DS’ spring offensive is launched against DJT. The timing…Losing on the battlefield and losing (I hope) in the effort to once again prop up and protect a pathetic and dangerous stick figure for a “president.” I noticed that Trump in his speech made a fleeting alllusion to the Ukraine war, “which would never have happened” if he’d had a second term. Trump, the deal maker, even the peace maker, had to go. As Luongo said, to maintain “the holy Democratic myth that they have an unlimited right to persecute Donald Trump.” Unlimited persecution of a war against a sovereign state, and the same against the person of DJT. Such blindness, such a lack of insight. Tx Mark for deftly weaving all these various threads together.

Mark, you and this site are priceless. With Luongo other possibilities in this puzzlement are suggested. In Hamlet only he and the King are aware of the true situation. Here aside from Trump I hesitate and see multiple possibilities as to who is calling the shots. I do assume Trump knows. The only possibly useful thought I can add is that I do not see this centering around the next election. Whatever the intentions the whirlwind will not wait. The best laid plans of mice and men...or if you prefer Man proposes, G-d disposes. ... Reality will have a say as to how this pans out. Also Emerson said: “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

Don't underestimate Trump, or think you know his intent in his doing things his way.

Luongo could well be right. It makes sense that Trump would be preferred by Wall Street (well, at least the majority of the large banks such as JPM and GS) compared to any Dem candidate. And remember how Trump's economic team was heavily influenced/manned by GS people?

There is no question that Davos has been funded by the shadow banking system including Eurodollars (see FTX and SVB for examples). There is also no doubt that the NY boys want to not only retain their current power but expand it. This goes hand in hand with the Fed wanting greater control over U.S. monetary policy and its effects on the economy. As an example, this blog post discusses JPM's incentive for coopting the shadow banking system (including people such as Blackrock):

“the fact that approximately half the people are Trump supporters should assure that there will not be a unanimous jury to provide a conviction.”

That quote seems a tad delusional. If it does get to a trial and they don’t get it outta Manhattan, the jury will convict.

Look at the J6 prisoners. They get to a trial and they’re toast.

Mark, below is a recent interview of investigative journalist Jennifer Bilek about who's behind the trans agenda and some of its history. I've never heard of Bilek before, but some of the information she provides matches what I've read elsewhere (particularly the regard to the extended family of the governor of Illinois):
