After Tuesday’s elections, entities owned and managed by Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan have lined up against President Donald J. Trump. There is now a “coordinated effort” across the New York Post, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal against Trump.
The Post is running columns by longtime Trump hater John Podhoretz and gun grabber Piers Morgan bashing the 45th President. Podhoretz’s piece also lashes out at Blake Masters as an “election-denier,” and ludicrously asserts that we shouldn’t support candidates Mitch McConnell doesn’t like. Morgan, meanwhile, is urging Republicans to “dump Trump.” Unfortunately for him, Americans conservatives don’t tend to listen to foreigners that want to eradicate our Second Amendment.
The Sun Wot Won It.
Rupert Murdoch has long tried to use his media empire to swing elections. In 1992, his Sun tabloid infamously took credit for the Conservative Party victory in the election with the headline ‘It’s The Sun Wot Won It‘. They relentlessly tried, during the 2016 Republican primary, to prop up any Republican not named Donald Trump. It didn’t work.
Conservatives have more options than one tabloid, a Wall Street newspaper, and a television channel. The strength of independent conservative media means unelected globalist billionaires won’t decide who represents the Republican Party. It’s a blessing. Rupert Murdoch supports giving citizenship to over 10 million illegal immigrants. He does not share our values.
Ryan’s Revenge.
The list of people lining up against Trump right now is simply an indicator of how large of a threat he remains to the globalist elite. Fox Corporation board member Paul Ryan, for example, has been actively agitating against Trump.
He attacked Trump before the mid terms, saying he wouldn’t be the 2024 nominee. He was able to make this “prediction” because a long-standing plan involving key establishment figures has been well underway for over a year. In Fox’s “coverage” of Ryan’s attack, they failed to disclose to their audience that he is a board member of their parent company. Fox has a bad habit of hiding their employees’ and even guests’ conflicts of interest. For example, Karl Rove was a panelist on Fox’s Election Night coverage commenting against Trump-endorsed candidates without disclosing his super PAC spent millions opposing them. It’s corrupt.
Before the results were even in, Ryan tried to blame Trump for Republican underperformance. Think about it – the RINO establishment runs bad campaigns, throws money against their own candidates, fails to gear up for any election fraud challenges, and immediately has a strategy ready to blame Trump? It almost all seems intentional. It’s high time someone asked the question as to whether the GOP intentionally threw some of these races, just so they could have this fight.
It’s also strange how the former president gets the blame for defeats when he’s not the one in charge of the Republican Party’s apparatuses for election senators and congressmen. Where is the talk of the poor “candidate quality” of Mitch McConnell’s favorites? Just look at RINO Joe O’Dea in Colorado. He lost his senate election by nearly 12 percent. A week before the election, a longtime McConnell adviser Josh Holmes wrote that O’Dea is running a campaign that is “hall of fame material.”
A Fox in the Hen House. McConnell declined to support Blake Masters in Arizona. His Senate Leadership Fund spent zero dollars supporting Masters race. Instead, McConnell spent $9 million against Republican Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska.
Any blame on Trump for Republican underperformance also runs against the facts. Analysis revealed that in 2018 “without Donald Trump at the head of the ticket, Republican voters were much less enthusiastic, and the total House vote for Republican candidates fell by nearly 20% from 2016.” Two years later, with Trump on the ballot “Republican turnout for House races was bound to increase significantly over the depressed levels of 2018… Republicans did better, gaining an estimated 21.9 million.”
We saw this again on Tuesday with Mehmet Oz underperforming Trump in parts of Pennsylvania. They want to blame disappointing results on Tuesday on Trump as simply a means to preemptively crush a 2024 bid, without mentioning people like Murdoch, McConnell, and Karl Rove. And that’s because those people control much of the flow of information on the political right.
If Rupert Murdoch got his say, the Republican Party will go back to the days of his board member Paul Ryan. They don’t want “Trumpism without Trump.” They want a Republican Party without any of the populist reforms brought by President Trump. We should be wary of any other candidate the establishment wants to prop up.
They are also purposefully stoking the flames of war between allegiances to Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. Every ounce of energy directed between the two is a gallon of fuel not going into the long overdue war against McConnell and Murdoch. Getting the America First base to kill off each other is communist strategy 101.
If this News Corp/Fox Corp collusion is an indicator of what the 2024 primary will look like, then Donald Trump is back to being the outsider candidate. Donald Trump needs to seize this opportunity as the outsider to recapture the energy of the 2016 campaign. The system is aligned against him and his voters.
We don’t accept foreign interference in our elections. The Murdochs will regret sticking their Aussie thumbs on the scale.
The democrats should have been crushed in the mid term. They were not. As bad as it is now, it will get worse.
People need to stop the knee jerk reactions and recognize exactly why Trump is so aggressive attacking for.
Nobody knows the treachery of the swamp monsters better than Trump.
“...Aussie thumbs...”
Good line.
Tucker, and occasionally Laura Ingraham seem to be the only worthwhile people on Fox. And from what I understand, Tucker is great because he, unlike others, has editorial control of his program written into his contract.
Okay, I like Gutfeld too, but I watch him for the comedy, not news or opinion.
Very true...
Total agreement here.
And if those people are sincere and not merely trolls, they need to listen to themselves sometime. They sound like soccer moms struggling to find the nearest fainting couch.
That’s the job of George Soros, The Bamster and Susan Rice . . .
Morgan, meanwhile, is urging Republicans to “dump Trump.” Unfortunately for him, Americans conservatives don’t tend to listen to foreigners that want to eradicate our Second Amendment.
Often, when one of Piers Morgan’s anti gun flaming opeds hit, I have posted that it was too bad that my ancestors did not remove this PO$’s blood line in our 2 wars against mother England. Our guns/ammo enabled our forefathers to defeat Piers red coated mercenary killers. He is still poed about that history.
Also, many of my close relatives helped to save England’s A$$es twice in the last century with our guns/ammo, planes and ships and men/women, against the Nazis in WWI and WWII.
Well, in all fairness, I think Trump’s recent tirades indicate the cheese has slid off his cracker. Sad.
Which POTUS was as successful as Trump? Look at what Trump accomplished:
Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.
Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?
Rupert/Paul Ryan and Ken Griffin are a very dangerous mix!
Rupert/Paul Ryan and Ken Griffin are a very dangerous mix!
Agree!
Hope folks, here, wake up to this.

Wby do you think DeSantis is a treacerous swap monster?
I did not say that...you did.
#StopBeingSuckers
The NY Post has gone NUTSO against Trump. But this isn’t the first time they abandonned Trump as they were never really for him until he won. These same folks also screwed up and got conned by Eric Vote To Save New York Adams and made him mayor. I’m boycotting NY Post and Fox News articles. Don’t need their TV either. I can catch what I need from Levin and Hannity on the radio and podcast.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?
And if Trump loses the nomination, he will go Bull Moose and we will get another term of Biden the Tyrant or some other Communist traitor to finish driving the nails into our coffin. And if Trump doesn’t go Bull Moose, his Kool Aid drinking fans will suck their thumbs and pout rather than vote for the nominee. And We will get another term of Biden the Tyrant.
Or Trump wins the nomination, scares off the independents and a lot of the GOP with his bizarre rants, and we get another term of Biden the Tyrant. Where else am I going to go? I’m actively looking into retirement options well away from this country. Because living here now is like being forced to watch the woman I love be gang raped. I’m sickened by the ongoing election news. Far rather be getting drunk on a beach far away. Which is what I should have been doing instead of the 8 years I spent in uniform defending this country from tyranny. We got it anyway. Wast of time. I should have been smoking weed and hooking up with chicks.
LOL. Trump is going to win.
