New: Trump Shoots Down JD Vance Beard Rumors in Comments on Vice President Short List (“Looks Like a Young Abraham Lincoln”)
The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 10, 2024 | Kristinn Taylor

Posted on 07/10/2024 12:55:40 PM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

President Trump spoke about his vice president candidate shortlist in an interview with Brian Kilmeade on Fox News Radio Wednesday. Trump shot down a rumor that he was leaning against choosing Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) because of Vance’s beard, saying, “No….He looks good, looks like a young Abraham Lincoln.” The Vance beard rumors came out of a report on Tuesday by the Bulwark (excerpt at end of article.)

Trump also commented on Governor Doug Burgum (R-ND), saying a restrictive North Dakota abortion law he signed is “a little bit of an issue.” Trump said that he and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) living in the same state is a “complication” but could be “easily fixed.” (Excerpt from the 12th Amendment: “The Electors shall meet in their respective states and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves;”

Audio clip of Trump speaking about Vance, Burgum and Rubio:

It will be someone with vetted political skills. Trump knows how critical that will be in 4 years.

Nothing like teaming Trump with a Marxist Enviromental nutjob to say complete ticket!

I’m beginning to think more and more it will be JFK Jr. That wouldn’t be ideal but it would bleed a lot of votes from Biden and pick up the leftist anti-fed vote if there is such a thing.

Ahem, JFK Jr. is dead.

Listen to you and all the others...it’s not my choice but it might be Trump’s choice. RFK Jr. perhaps would be a good way to offset Trump’s mistake with COVID...let him talk about the corruption and collusion between the FDA, CDC and big pharma. Another way of drowning the swamp. Let the leftists see that Trump isn’t afraid to reach out to other outsiders.

I watch a lot of YouTube shorts videos during my allotted “scrolling time”. I have noticed a bunch of Kristie Noem paid ads disguised as content in the past month. They are supposed to be documentary videos on her history and how great she is.

Someone is paying for these for videos to be viewed by out of state viewers.

I think he is going to make the terrible decision of choosing Noem. He is addicted to picking bad people to surround himself wit.

To think this guy would be anything but destructive to the nation you have to wonder what you think constructive would be! Some of his public positions he has yet to renounce!

Maybe but he adds no votes. The 1st thing most think will be “who the heck is Byron Donald”.

Picking his VP for votes is short sighted at this point. His VP needs to be someone who will carry on the Trump policies for the future of the country. Otherwise he should find a left handed black homosexual transgendered Asian quadriplegic to garner their votes.

Report – Peter Thiel Is FBI Confidential Human Source

October 19, 2023 | Sundance 

I have no idea whether this report is accurate, but given the nature of events and revelations in the past several years – this seems plausible, possibly likely.

In the aftermath of the 2020 election outcome, several people on the more libertarian/conservative side of the political spectrum, were concerned about being targeted by an Obama third term. As the rather revelatory story is told today, that provided the motive for Peter Thiel to cozy up to the FBI and avoid being a target.

Business Insider is reporting that Billionaire PayPal founder Peter Thiel became a “confidential human source” for the FBI in 2021. The outline claims that known FBI informant Charles Johnson brought Thiel into the relationship. The exact specifics of what Thiel did for the FBI are unknown.

[READ FULL STORY HERE]

Overstock founder Patrick Byrne was/is also an FBI asset, using his money in conservative circles to support entities of interest to the government. Byrne provided the seed money for Dave Rubin’s Locals platform. Robert Mercer did the same with Breitbart, and Rebekkah Mercer did the same thing with Parler.  Billionaire Paul Singer did the same thing with The Washington Free Beacon.

Interestingly, Peter Thiel has a networked relationship with several people of “conservative” influence – including Tucker Carlson. It is strongly suspected that Thiel is one of the financial backers of Tucker Carlson’s new media venture. {Go Deep}

People often ask me why CTH viciously protects our independence, enjoys staying small and refuses to take lucrative offers for platform expansion. The reality is, The Truth Has No Agenda – but the majority of the characters you run into within the information space generally do. lol.

Eyes of a Mouse…. Ears of an Elephant.

Keep living your best life.

RFK, Jr.?

Maybe. But that would put Trump’s life in immediate jeopardy.
Some Bernie Sanders nutjob would be sitting behind a Leopold
scope in about 30 minutes if they thought that they could
take out Trump and have RFK, Jr to replace him.
Much too much of a temptation for the leftards.

Trump is probably calculating that Harris may eventually be his opponent so I think his running mate will be a woman. I think it will be Elise Stefanik.

What’s so bad about picking Noem? She has governing skills.
