Outlining a plan of action for President Trump and his team to prevent RINO efforts to sabotage the 2024 in its tracks - before it is too late.
The Uniparty is quietly scheming (again) to rig the system and prevent President Trump from ever becoming President. This scheme involves a two-part strategy: using a combination of strategically planned retirements of Republican House members, coupled with the passage of carefully tailored legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot on bogus Insurrection grounds that would likely pass muster with moderate justices on the Supreme Court, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who prefer to avoid deciding on “controversial” legal questions and risk being seen in a bad light by their liberal peers.
The fact that over a dozen House Republicans have recently announced their early retirement, or their intention to not seek re-election, should raise alarm bells for everyone, because these decisions are not by happenstance. They are coordinated and serve the specific purpose to keep President Trump off the ballot. As their attempts at lawfare appear to be falling apart one-by-one, from the debacle in Georgia involving Fani Willis’s rendezvous with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, to the kangaroo show trials in NYC, with petty judges and prosecutors such as Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, and Juan Merchan, being exposed for the radical, far-left operators they are – President Trump’s political enemies are getting increasingly desperate, and as a result of that desperation, are strategizing to now switch control of the House of Representatives before election day. If they manage to pull off that feat, which is becoming increasingly likely with a diminishing House Republican majority, the product of intra-party squabbling and general incompetence of Republican leadership, and Democrats retake control, President Trump’s enemies will be able to more easily pass legislation that would disqualify him from the ballot. This is because if the House flips to Democrat hands and Speaker Hakeem Jeffries takes the reins, he will be able to coordinate with Chuck Schumer in the Senate more easily, who already controls a majority in the upper chamber. At least up until the November election, there will be no divided government: Democrats will have majorities in both congressional chambers, plus the White House. Thus, the House, Senate, and White House can collude to pass legislation that would exclude President Trump from the ballot because, according to their absurd construction, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment allows them to do so.
This is why the early-announced retirements of House members like Mike Gallagher (WI) and Ken Buck (CO), and the forced ouster of former Congressman George Santos (NY), have received (rightful) criticism from the MAGA movement, including some of the most stridently pro-Trump congresspersons, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. The Mike Gallagher case is particularly illustrative of RINO subversion – and MTG was no-holds-barred in her criticism of the move. Gallagher, rather than step down immediately, announced that he would delay his retirement until April 19th. Under Wisconsin law, special elections to fill seat vacancies can only occur up until the second Tuesday in April – after which point, the law requires the seat remain vacant through the November election. Thus, if Gallagher postpones his retirement until the 19th, after the second Tuesday in April, there will be no special election: Republicans will simply have to accept losing another House seat. Democrats will be one seat closer to reclaiming majority control. Gallagher’s refusal to step down before the second Tuesday in April makes no sense whatsoever: it can only be explained as an act of deliberate sabotage. MTG took notice. On March 23rd, she posted that Gallagher “should be expelled if he refuses to leave immediately,” recognizing how his delay could ultimately cost Republicans the House majority.
It is no coincidence that the same forces so deeply critical of George Santos’ ouster late last year are the ones most vocal about the news of these early retirements. They observe the writing on the wall: the desire is to keep President Trump off the ballot – and out of office. Providing further support for this theory is the fact that of the 14 or so members that have announced early retirements, at least six of them have received significant funds from notorious anti-Trump megadonor, Paul Singer: Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Patrick McHenry, Drew Ferguson, Kay Granger, Blaine Luetkemeyer, and Greg Pence. Singer, as smartly reported by investigative journalist Troy Smith, and veteran political operative, Roger Stone, also donated a whopping $5,000,000 to Nikki Haley’s failed presidential bid – which marked another attempt by the deep state to derail President Trump in his tracks.
Singer’s support for anti-Trump, RINO candidates has a well-documented and extensive history. The billionaire has been unsuccessfully trying to thwart the President ever since he descended the Trump Tower escalator: in 2016, Singer poured over $2.5 million into Marco Rubio’s failed presidential campaign. Singer also supported research into the universally discredited, bogus Steele Dossier after Trump was elected to the presidency, and has been actively trying to stop the 45th President in his tracks ever since.
What Singer and his RINO allies – and other anti-Trump interest groups in the DC Swamp – are attempting to accomplish is quite blatant: push enough Republicans into early retirement so as to give Democrats control of the House before the November election. The timing is critical: the reason Democrats need to retake control before November is to ensure enough Supreme Court justices will rubber stamp any legislation that might prevent President Trump from getting on the ballot on Fourteenth Amendment grounds.
But, you might be thinking, did not the Supreme Court already rule, in a unanimous (per curiam in Court-speak) judgment, that Colorado’s Secretary of State could not do exactly that in the recent decision, Trump v. Anderson? Not exactly.
One must pick apart the decision with a fine-tooth comb, but the attentive reader will find the language of the Court rather worrisome. This is particularly true for the three liberal justices: Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson, who wrote a separate concurrence – agreeing with the Court’s majority “only in the judgment.” Adding further worry is the separate concurrence of Justice Barrett, who also wrote her own 1-page judgment, agreeing with the majority for “Parts I and II-B” of the opinion, while also stating her belief that the five justices who fully signed onto the majority went too far.....
I agree with the author that shining the spotlight on this “trick” ahead of time may be able to alter some RINO retirement dates. It is going to be interesting times.
Speaker Johnson should have called for Gallager’s expulsion, thereby replacing him before November. It would not have worked but it would have exposed more of the phony and weak ones.
The counter strategy should be to let them know that government contracts will not be let to any company employing these traitors
Just quietly put the word out.
I see no evidence he is more serious than last time. Who is helping him now? I have no idea. I don’t even know if anyone is doing anything.
I wonder what Singer or others have used to influence the “Retiring RINOs”. I wonder if it is plata o plomo.
What part of Trump will not have a second term does anybody not understand?
I think it’s Epstein
They sabotage Trump and there won’t be much of a Republican Party left for the RINOs to dominate. The remaining MAGA voters will leave the party in droves!
Trump isn’t going to be re-elected. They are making sure of it and covering all their bases. Even if Trump could head off all their tricks they will burn thecountry down and cancel elections before letting him get voted in fairly. There’s only one hope...the return of JEsus Christ to physically rule the world.
Yep. If they fell for Epstein's bait then the Deep State now owns them via blackmail video.
If Johnson can’t find it in him to either expel Gallagher or convince him to leave now, then he needs to be threatened with lawsuits by his constituents, the RNC for any campaign money he got, and look for any other petty laws he may have violated - like say, a RICO statute? - in his little Intel Community arranged departure.
A thousand arrows all aimed at him.
The AT's have been loud and proud in saying that if Trump is not on the ballots - they will stay home.
I don’t think there is any way Trump will get re-elected. He who controls the counting of the votes, WINS.
Swamp bump for later...

“the reason Democrats need to retake control before November is to ensure enough Supreme Court justices will rubber stamp any legislation that might prevent President Trump from getting on the ballot on Fourteenth Amendment grounds.”
Trump was charged and acquitted of inciting an insurrection during his final impeachment. I doubt the Supreme Court will support that a simple majority could do this, especially for a crime for which he was already found not guilty.
Don’t forget AMNESTY FOR ALL 40 MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY
Trump and us are very quickly closing in on becoming a force of nature so this guy’s point is what?
The impeachment is not the point. If the democRATs hold the house and senate, even if Trump wins in a landslide then the ‘RAT senate (which is ruthless, unlike the neutered republican senates we have had) can vote not to accept the electoral college vote. Then the vote goes to the House, and it remains to be seen which states would have a R vote and which would have a D vote. This D vs R vote is what is being put in play by the RINO retirements.
