The hatred towards Vance has rivaled Trump. His depiction of Appalachia was spot on which drew the ire of Socialists who said Appalachia’s problems were all caused by Capitalism and Big Pharma. They later had to drop the Big Pharma due to vaccines.
Oh God, no; not Secret Service!
Precautionary makes sense...
Or, is he getting a visit due to his Biden comments?
I’m glad I waited before sharing the following analysis because I’m not as concerned today as I was when I originally read the Guardian article. Yesterday, The Guardian reported that Donald Trump Jr would be introducing the VP nominee at the RNC convention. According to them, that could indicate a strong likelihood of JD Vance as the nominee. That would be horrible.
However, what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks. The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; so, it’s a sequencing thing. Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.
There is, however, an unfortunate aspect to the articles predictions that is currently surfacing all over the media.
The top 3 finalists, according to a bazillion clickbait articles, are JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum. I have tried to stay away from the VP discussion because, well, it’s basically a clickbait conversation. Also, because if Donald Trump has not made up his mind months ago, then we are in more trouble than just the worry of a VP who might impede swamp draining.
If I have any accurate arrows of faith or pragmatic hope left in my quiver, then I am correct in thinking that Donald Trump made this decision a long time ago, and the Vice President nominee has long known exactly what the plan is. If my “begin with the end in mind” thinking is incorrect; well, then we’re in bigger trouble than 99% of MAGA Americans can fathom.
Having said that, I hope none of the aforementioned names are accurate, because the very specific and current attributes we need for what is going to be a 15-year generational effort in our Constitutional Republic are not held by either Vance, Burgum or certainly not Rubio.
Every consideration of the VP selection MUST pass through the prism of knowing who the malevolent enemy we are facing truly is, the Intelligence Community, the Fourth Branch of Government.
If President Trump hasn’t/doesn’t game out every step with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of who the enemy is, then the problem will never be solved.
The dangerous Intelligence Community (IC) to be faced is Six Eyes, not Five, with one historically never discussed.
Worse still, they just launched the Seventh Eye in anticipation of Trump winning in November.
Yes, that’s correct. At the same non-accidental time the IC decided Joe Biden was their least hopeful option, an actual risk – which was additionally triggered by the recent SCOTUS ruling, the global IC power structure launched a proactive Seventh Eye {SEE HERE} for the purpose of attacking the risk Trump represents and defending themselves. [Now do you see why I have spent the past eight months physically crisscrossing their network?]
A true ‘begin with the end in mind’ approach to deconstructing this domestic and geopolitical mess, which is to say an honest perspective about the root cause of our metastatic symptoms, requires admitting to ourselves that any VP nomination to stand beside President Trump must come with a specific set of traits.
From that perspective to find who is best, we must consider who has the least amount of attack vectors the enemy can exploit. That approach disqualifies Burgum, Vance and most certainly Rubio.
An attack vector is a vulnerability for the IC to exploit. An attack vector can be preexisting, or it can simply be a place where pressure applied creates a vulnerability.
The greater the attack vector potential of the individual, the more distant from the center (the office of the presidency) the person must be. The greater the attack vector potential, the less importance on the tasks assigned. This doesn’t mean people with attack vectors should be disqualified from operations, it only means you consider the vulnerability up front and don’t assign them to critical or high-priority functions.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors -as an outcome of personality, disposition and inherent life- was Nikki Haley. Dispatching Haley to the irrelevant United Nations was perfect. The bonus within the move was Mrs. Haley thinking it would improve her resume’.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors that was put into the wrong place, was Michael Flynn. Factually, Flynn was hiding his financial arrangements with Turkey as an unregistered lobbyist. The IC knew that vulnerability as they watched him throughout the campaign. When Trump won the election and then soon after announced Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, for the IC enemy that was awesome news. That’s how attack vectors are exploited, and Trump suffered the damage.
Attack Vectors should be the primary prism that determines placement. Attack vectors can also be mitigated and diffused with brutal honesty and sunlight upon secrets. The threat within attack vectors increases in direct proportion to the lies that hide them.
JD Vance with a solid Yale curriculum vitae, was a rabid Never Trumper, until something in his life timeline happened simultaneously to his financial benefactor billionaire Peter Theil becoming an FBI informant.
[Putting aside the Theil and Vance direct connection to Vivek Ramaswamy for a moment] Peter Theil becomes aligned with the FBI and suddenly the guy getting Theil’s money for politics, has nothing but praise for Donald Trump.
Trust your instincts.
Remember when I said the 2015 operation for Jeb Bush was going to involve a massive vote splitting operation, because the people organizing Jeb could only affirm about 20% of the base vote in the primary? Well?…
In 2016 I said they would need more than a dozen to pull off the Jeb operation; they brought 14. The republican nominee who won was the last man to enter, #15, the one they did not control. That is not accidental.
Remember back in 2019 when I said ballots were more important than votes and Trump needed to ditch Ronna McDaniel and hire Catherine Englebrecht as RNC chair with a major sense of urgency. Well?…
Remember when I said, “watch out” in 2022 because the same Sea Island network active in 2015 and 2020 was organizing a conservative voice influence operation for DeSantis in 2024, because I could see all the hallmarks of conservatives being conscripted and paid for participating (their attack vector of vulnerability), and people angrily said I was nuts. Well?…
I’m not looking at the current landscape, I’m out here with a well-worn machete looking at where we are heading. And I’m telling you those same systems, voices and financial networks have deployed that same financial conscription effort for JD Vance.
This is not conspiracy theory, it’s simply what a select group of ideological and compromised billionaires do in response to their own attack vectors and vulnerabilities. Robert and Rebekah Mercer did it with Ted Cruz and duped millions. The current attack vector assisting in the positioning of Vance, an attack vector previously exploited by the IC in their creation of the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, is the only guy in the Trump family that wears pink shirts.
Marco Rubio is easily one of the most compromised names on the “short list” with attack vectors going way back in his history including his compromise with the Kelly sisters around CENTCOM in Tampa, Florida. [LINK]
The same Lebanese based IC group who took out General Petraeus when he became a threat to them (Benghazi), and the same IC group who used the same zipper compromise against General John Allen [LINK] using the same network. Remember the ICs non-ISIS/ISIS campaign.
They have already compromised Rubio; it wasn’t hard.
Those background issues don’t even include Marco Rubio’s willful participation in the use of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) to attack the prior four years of the Trump administration through the use of the Trump-Russia nonsense.
Have you ever, even once, seen Vice Chairman Rubio cast even a side-eye of incredulity toward the malevolence of the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Of course you haven’t. He simply can’t do it; they own him.
Can a second President Trump term be successful with Rubio, Vance or Burgum? Of course it can; heck, we saw the success of Donald Trump even with Mike Pence constantly undermining him in the background.
Yes, the economy can thrive, global peace can return, the threat of a dollar-based central bank digital currency will diminish, domestic energy production and self-sufficiency will reemerge, and the lives and livelihoods of every American can improve in a second Trump term simply by the execution of pragmatic commonsense policy. That’s not what I am talking about.
If Trump picks a Rubio, Vance or Burgum type VP the Fourth Branch of Government simply goes into a period of static fermentation within the global swamp, simultaneously spewing toxic gas but not directly f**king with us. However, as soon as that 4-year term is over, they restart the process and the decade of the 30’s leaves us with less freedom, more restrictions and a bigger toxic system of Western government surveillance.
We need four years of furious sandblasting the bondo and paint from our Republic, before we can even begin to contemplate a restoration process in 2028, and that presidential nominee -the intermediate finisher- might not even be a person who is in politics right now. I trust President Trump to select that person based on the status of the restoration at the time that decision needs to be made.
What we need right now is a vice-presidential nominee who has the least amount of pre-existing or potential attack vectors that can be exploited by the IC.
The collective effort of the Western Intelligence apparatus over the next four-year Trump term, will be to keep the illusion of democracy in place, and stop people from seeing the cold, hard reality of the putrid rot beneath it.
We need a guiding hand, a faithful servant, who will calm the nerves of the American people, many of whom will see – perhaps for the first time, exactly how bad it has become. Because what we are going to witness in the next four-years is going to be very ugly.
As these malevolent entities are dragged into the sunlight and revealed, we also need a steadfast partner grounded in something far more valuable than popular prose or catch phrase linguistics.
While Trump is tearing it all apart, we need a guide, a partner, a steadfast centered voice that will help our Republic make shame great again.
Like I said, I hope this is all moot and the decision was made long ago.
Dr. Ben Carson does not come without attack vectors; however, to his credit he admits them. Heck, the IC previously used Dr Carson virtues against him, that’s why Ms. Cheney was guided to be his 2016 campaign manager. They want you to forget or not know that.
You see, what the IC does at its most evil level is to exploit virtue as a weapon. Love and trust are used against the target. Do you love your family, it’d be a shame if something happened to them. However, when you have faith, you understand that God also knows how evil works in this exploitation, that’s why He favored David.
My advice, trust your instincts.
Then pray.
Love to all.
Do other contenders have three black trucks in front of their houses.
Black vans do not necessarily mean they are the good guys.
Damn.
I guess it would be too much to ask that he choose someone whom has rarely said a bad word about him.
Vance will Pence him. He just won’t wait four years before he does it.
Have “black trucks” showed up at the homes of any other possible VP picks?
What? The BATF? The Keystone cops of FLEO land?
...are the Feds there to bump him off?
More likely Biden sent FBI to arrest him.
No! Why pull Vance out of the Senate? DeWine cannot be trusted to appoint a Conservative to that seat. Then we face a tough and costly election in 2026 to protect that seat.
This makes zero sense.
I hope he picks Vance
I still think he’ll pick a woman for his running mate and it will be Elise Stefanik imo. She’s been a loyalist to Trump, more so than JD Vance ever has been.
I think it is a BIG mistake to take ANY senator as VP. Because then Trump might lose control of Senate, where as right now it is guaranteed with WV going to us and the VP breaking the tie.
It is never guaranteed you will win, case in point BOTH senate seats from Georgia that we lost before
Vance would be A O.K. to me.
Either that, or they’re arresting him for some made up reason.
There have been very few Presidential or Vice Presidential candidates with beards or mustaches in the 20th and 21st centuries. It was very popular in the 1800s.
William Howard Taft (Republican) Lost 1912, Won 1908 Mustache
Charles Evans Hughes (Republican) Lost 1916 Mustache
Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive) Lost 1912, (Republican) Won 1904 Mustache
Benjamin Harrison (Republican) Lost 1892, Won 1888 Beard
Grover Cleveland (Democrat) Won 1892, lost 1888, Won 1884 Mustache
James G. Blaine (Republican) Lost 1884
All of the candidates in 1888 and 1884 had beards or mustaches
The following third party candidates more recently had beards or mustaches.
Howie Hawkins (Green) 2024 Beard
Bob Barr (Libertarian) 2008 Mustache
Andre Marrou (Libertarian) 1992 Beard
Earl Browder (Communist) 1940 Mustache
Roger W. Babson (Prohibition) 1940 Beard
William Hope Harvey (Liberty) 1932 Mustache
Herman P. Faris (Prohibition) 1924 Mustache
Neal Dow (Prohibition) was unusual in the late 1880s in that he had neither a bard, nor mustache. His home is around the corner from where I live and is open to the public for tours and info on the Prohibition movement. Portland Maine is far from being a dry town these days.
