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.
I already did.
I thought they used up all their Wheaties pushing Zeldin (a candidate who should have won) but now it seems like they have a new lease on life in bashing Trump.
I am toying with the idea of canceling. I don’t care what their reasons are. It’s too upsetting to read the exact opposite of what I think about Trump every morning. Won’t subject myself to that.
“....Last person I heard of who was without fault got nailed to a cross for his troubles....”
Rarely has a person been as persecuted as President Trump (who belongs to the Lord), and YOU are part of the mob
As they have hated Me, so they will hate you (a servant isn’t greater than his master)
Both of you KNOCK IT OFF!
So if Trump loses and a DiSantis or Youngkin win, what do you think things will like? Paul Ryan, Mitch, Pence abd Romney (both good pals of Ryan who resigned during Trumps term and convince a whole lot of others to as well so we lost the House and we couldn’t get Trumos policies implemented), McCarthy, Cheney, Murkowski, etc. will all be in charge. They hate MAGA policies, thry are fir globalism and are owned by China. They have contempt for us. They feel they can get enough independent and even Dem votes with a Youngkin type to marginalize us into irrelevance. These are people are entirely self serving abd do not care about our country. Wake up people.
Who on the Republican side is going to stop this? They are all on the same team.
When the come out against someone they feel a threat, this is good
Nobody can stop this. I’m seeing a Dem win in 2024. Do I like it? No. Do I have to stay in this country? No. Praying for my 401k to recover so I can afford to leave before it gets even worse. And if you think it’s bad now, just wait. The Commies are emboldened now. You won’t recognize this country by 2028.
He is right, the Murdochs won’t pick the next president. The next president has already been picked and it will be a deamoncrap. The election has already been stolen thanks to mail in ballots, count until you win and election season that runs for weeks.
“So many on here dont seem to understand how great a president Trump was. It’s like they all got blue pilled with the elction.”
Trump was a great President. I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. That said, this sentiment against Trump among his own supporters was going on already months ago. I watched a lot of my hardcore people I know who have expressed a desire of change months ago. I think maybe the election results made them louder. I also think it’s unfair to blame Trump for an election he was not in. Even if all of his candidates did win, they’d still be crying that he’s trying to destroy the party with all of the regular folks getting into politics.
I’d vote for DiSantis in a heartbeat too
I got bluepilled after election results of '18,'20 and '22.
Lincoln replaced his generals after they lost his battles. Time to replace our general. Trump has to go. Apparently DeSantis is the guy. He looks real good.
Trump will lose.
Trump has jumped the shark. The best President in my lifetime but his recent remarks including today’s sophomoric shot at Mitch’s wife has made him unelectable. He will probably get the nomination but it ends there. The women and squish vote will be so lopsided the election will be well into the cheat range.
