Trans Columnist Says ‘Trump Regime’ Would Persecute Opponents, Though Most Would Find it ‘Tolerable’.

Brynn Tannehill — a transgender activist, opinion columnist, and technical analyst with the RAND Corporation — is continuing the proliferation of the Trump ‘bloodbathlie peddled by the corporate media allies of the Biden government. However, the RAND Corporation analyst adds additional hysterics in his essay for The New Republic — with predictions that a new Trump presidency will result in political persecution and a fascist dictatorship, a civil war, balkanization, or a split into two Americas.

The RAND Corporation analyst also claims he has “something of a track record of predicting the outcomes of elections involving Trump,” adding that he predicted post-2016 election “unrest.” Tannehill also makes the absurd claim that there was a wave of state-level anti-trans legislation that made most of the country “a no-go zone for trans people.”

DEMOCRAT SWEEP IN 2024.

According to Tannehill, if Joe Biden is re-elected and Democrats control both houses of Congress after 2024, Trump supporters “will be incited to violence.” However, Tannehill contends it will play out much like the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots. From here, he dives into the fantastical, theorizing that Republican-controlled states will ignore federal authority with Supreme Court backing and effectively divide the nation in two.

REPUBLICAN COUP AGAINST BIDEN.

If Biden wins re-election but Republicans retain the House, Tannehill predicts Speaker Mike Johnson will refuse to certify the election — and despite not being a cabinet member, Johnson will invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden from office. In effect, this would allow House Republicans to elect Trump as President. Tannehill claims that the U.S. military would put down any resistance to the move after Trump invokes the Insurrection Act.

TRUMP ‘MASSACRES’ RESISTANCE LIBS.

In the instance that Trump wins the Electoral College but loses the popular vote, Tannehill predicts Republicans will institute ‘Christian Nationalism.’ This, he contends, will result in an America with “no immigrants, no trans people, no Muslims, no abortion, no birth control” and federally funded Christian schools. Tannehill then fantasizes about a revolt by Democrat states, which Trump puts down with massacres under the auspices — again — of the Insurrection Act.

FASCIST AMERICA.

Tannehill’s final fantasy is one in which Donald Trump wins both the Electoral College and the popular vote. In this instance, the RAND analysis says democracy will die, and fascism will be enshrined in America. “For most people, life will be boring and tolerable. For the people targeted by the regime, it will not be easy to survive in the U.S. It will also lead to a wave of people (particularly trans individuals) attempting to flee to other countries,” Tannehill says of his final scenario.

‘Make New York Great Again!’ – Trump Posts Special Message to Hometown.

President Donald J. Trump posted a special message to New York on Friday afternoon, railing against the leftist judge Arthur Engoron, as well as Attorney General Letitia James.

“Arthur Engoron is a Rogue Judge who was intimidated by the big, nasty, and ugly mouth of [Letitia] James, considered by many to be the WORST Attorney General in the U.S. She is a Low IQ individual who campaigned for Governor, using my name, and got TROUNCED,” Trump characteristically stated.

“She and her PUPPET Engoron, who valued Mar-a-Lago at $18,000,000 when it is worth 50 to 100 times that amount, have destroyed all business prospects for New York State, that is already dying, or dead. But have no fear —When I become the 47th President, we will MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN!” he concluded.

The message comes on the heels of Trump remarking that he was going to be making a “big play” in New York state, with a possible Make America Great Again rally slated for the Bronx neighborhood, and even Madison Square Garden.

DATA: 60% Say Media is ‘Enemy of the People,’ 40% Believe ‘Bloodbath’ Hoax.

A disturbing 40 percent of surveyed Americans appear to believe the MeidasTouch/Biden campaign/corporate media hoax over President Trump’s use of the word “bloodbath” in Ohio last weekend, according to numbers released Friday by Rasmussen Reports.

Asked, “Former President Donald Trump recently said that it would be a “bloodbath” if he didn’t win in November. Which is more likely?” Respondents were asked to choose between:

  • He was talking about auto workers losing their jobs;
  • He was talking about widespread political violence by his supporters;

  • Not sure.

While 11 percent were not sure, a whopping 40 percent said they believe the hoax about political violence, which began with the far-left funded MeidasTouch Network, further peddled by the Biden campaign and wider U.S. media. While 49 percent saw through the lie, the fact that such a large swathe of America believed such an obvious hoax will no doubt be cause for concern within the Trump campaign.

Women were more likely than men to believe the hoax (43-36 percent), while both younger (18-39-year-olds) and older (65+) were more likely than their middle-aged counterparts to fall for it. A stunning 46 percent of black voters fell for it, the only demographic in the poll where more people believed the lie than didn’t, except self-identified Democrats and liberals, amongst whom almost 70 percent told pollsters that Trump was ushering in violence.

Further asked their views on the trustworthiness of the corporate media, 60 percent agreed with the phrase, “The media are the true enemy of the people,” with 36 percent disagreeing. A full 79 percent of Republicans agree with the statement, with that number sinking to 41 percent for Democrats.

At the same time, 63 percent of likely U.S. voters told Rasmussen that the mainstream media’s coverage is likely dictated by the Biden campaign, with just 29 percent in disagreement. Even 50 percent of self-identifying Democrats said they believe this to be the case.

Billionaire Nelson Peltz Says Biden’s ‘Mental Condition Is Really Scary.’

Nelson Peltz, noted billionaire Disney investor, intends to vote for former President Donald Trump due to his concerns that Biden’s “mental condition is really scary.”

Peltz, who is the same age as Biden, told the Financial Times that his concerns about Biden’s mental fitness outweighed his reservations about Trump.

“I don’t know what [Biden] knows and I don’t know what he doesn’t know,” said Peltz. “I don’t know who’s speaking for him and that’s troubling.” Peltz also said that the “litany of criminal charges against [Trump] — including cases relating to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election” — is obviously a “miscarriage of justice.”

Peltz also cited concerns about Biden’s border crisis as driving his support for Trump. “We can’t go on letting everyone into this country . . . We have an immigration problem — it’s not a Republican or Democrat problem,” Peltz said. “I want some boundaries put on it so we know at least who we’re bringing in.”

Known for his disputes with Disney CEO Bob Iger, Peltz has recently made news headlines. His firm, Trian Fund Management, has challenged Disney’s direction under Iger and his predecessor, Bob Chapek. Peltz is exerting efforts to gain more control over Disney through a proxy war, in preparation for the upcoming annual shareholders meeting scheduled for April 3.

Under Iger’s leadership, Disney, Peltz points out, has maintained an emphasis on woke, far-left messaging. The entertainment company has witnessed a series of low-performing releases and financial losses, compounded by the substantial subscription rate increases for their viewership.

Far-Left Groups Pledge $1 Billion For ‘The Big Guy’.

The League of Conservation Voters is pledging $120 million to support President Joe Biden’s re-election efforts. Officials with the Biden campaign have indicated that the environmentalist group’s pledge pushes total outside spending on behalf of the Democrat incumbent close to $1 billion.

Separate from outside spending by Democrat-aligned groups, the Biden campaign expects to raise $2 billion over the 2024 presidential campaign cycle. Democrat-aligned groups tend to announce their planned spending early in the election cycle. However, it remains to be seen if they can raise the billion-dollar war chest predicted by the Biden campaign.

Several organizations spanning climate advocacy groups, labor unions, and conventional SuperPACs have pledged financial backing to Biden’s campaign. They range from left-leaning groups like MoveOn to NeverTrump Republican organizations like Republican Voters Against Trump. Among the highest contributors are Future Forward, which has reserved over $250 million in TV advertising, and American Bridge, a Democrat-aligned opposition research group that says it plans to devote $140 million to anti-Trump advertisements in swing states.

Republican-aligned groups — on the other hand — tend not to announce pledged spending ahead of time. However, fundraising numbers reported to the FEC indicate that the outside groups supporting former President Donald Trump and other Republican candidates in Congress will play a significant financial role in November’s election.

In response to the pledged levels of campaign spending, Tiffany Muller — president of the government reform group End Citizens United — told the New York Times in an interview: “The sheer scale of what we’re talking about has never been seen before in our country’s history.”

Could Kevin McCarthy REALLY Be Trump’s Next Chief of Staff!?

According to a report from Bloomberg, former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) is under consideration for Chief of Staff should former President Donald Trump retake the White House in November’s presidential election. McCarthy allegedly turned down the role during Trump’s first presidential administration — opting to compete for the Speakership instead, ultimately losing the leadership battle to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).

Citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg contends that former President Trump sees McCarthy as possessing valuable assets as a Chief of Staff, including his knowledge of Capitol Hill, his experience in government budgeting, and his alignment with the former President on “regulatory priorities.” However, the former Speaker is not without his detractors among former President Trump’s most outspoken supporters — including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who spearheaded McCarthy’s ouster as Speaker.

McCarthy served as the Republican Speaker of the House for less than a year, from January 7, 2023, until October 3, 2023. Rep. Gaetz brought a ‘motion to vacate’ against the former Speaker after the Florida Republican accused McCarthy of breaking several policy promises made during the Speaker election in January.

Following his ouster, McCarthy meddled behind the scenes in the election of his successor. McCarthy’s alleged machinations derailed the short-lived bids by Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). After Rep. Tom Emmer’s run for Speaker failed to gain significant support, the former Speaker attempted to make a move to reclaim the gavel with allies writing in his name during a House GOP Conference meeting. However, Members ultimately settled on Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as the consensus nominee.

In an incredibly petty incident during the Speaker succession fight, McCarthy was witnessed throwing an elbow into Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) in a Capitol Building hallway. Burchett was one of the House Republicans who voted for McCarthy’s ouster.

No Vivek VP, But He Could Lead THIS Agency for Trump…

Vivek Ramaswamy is not expected to be selected as former President Donald Trump’s running mate. Trump delivered the news directly to Ramaswamy, instead suggesting other government roles that may suit his expertise — including one at the Department of Homeland Security Secretary.

According to anonymous sources cited by Bloomberg, Ramaswamy isn’t the only dignitary in recent discussions on Trump’s cabinet reconstruction, with others including former competitor and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, New York Representative Elise Stefanik, and Robert Lighthizer, who served as U.S. Trade Representative during Trump’s first term.

The news confirms National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam’s perspective offered in August 2023:

Former President Trump is said to be considering vice-presidential candidates who are not after the political limelight. Instead, the former President wants a vice-presidential nominee who will give him an edge against President Joe Biden. At this time, it appears that all of the candidates floated as potential running mates only partially match the qualifications for which the former President is looking, a point that Trump himself is alleged to have made to his advisors.

Campaign aides alone haven’t guided the vice-presidential search, with members of the former President’s family also stepping in to give advice. Donald Trump, Jr. has been advising his father on how the more strident voters in the pro-Trump MAGA base might react to various candidates. He’s also pushed for a more significant role on the transition team to ensure that political appointees will be satisfactory in the eyes of Trump voters.

Even The New York Times Admits: Trump Bond Impossible to Pay Due to Regulations.

Even the “failing New York Times” admits that the bond being asked of former President Donald J. Trump is impossible to pay in order for him to have his civil fraud case ruling reviewed by another judge.

“Any insurance company that underwrote a bond for Donald Trump in his civil fraud case in New York would undoubtedly be criticized by those who don’t like the ex-president,” wrote Peter Coy in the Times.

“Chubb Insurance found that out when it underwrote a much smaller bond in E. Jean Carroll’s defamation suit against him. Chubb’s chief executive, Evan Greenberg, was forced to put out a letter saying, “We don’t take sides, it would be wrong for us to do so, and we are in no way supporting the defendant.””

Coy goes on to explain that insurance regulation is the real reason Trump can’t find the case required to begin the appeals process:

“…state insurance departments that regulate surety bond companies don’t allow that kind of business. It would be highly risky for insurers to accept real estate as collateral because its value is unpredictable and it’s hard to sell on short notice. Regulators don’t allow insurance companies to charge high premiums for taking on that kind of risk; they want insurers to charge low premiums for low risk.”

Similar sentiments were extolled by lawyer Jonathan Turley, who appeared on Fox and declared the matter unique and unfair.

DATA: Americans Doubt Biden’s ‘Devout Catholicism.’

Recent data from a Pew Research poll indicates that a significant proportion of Americans are skeptical about President Biden’s self-professed devout Catholicism. The survey, conducted in late February, revealed that a mere 13 percent of Americans view Biden as very religious. On the other hand, 41 percent believe he is somewhat religious. Notably, 44 percent think he lacks substantial religious conviction.

This data emerges amidst Biden’s self-declared devout Catholic campaign narrative, underscored by regular church attendance and even echoed in White House descriptions of the president, particularly when justifying his strong pro-choice position on abortion.

President Biden’s faith and views on abortion have sparked controversy with the Catholic Church and drawn criticism from Pope Francis last July, who described them as ‘incoherent.’ Despite the critique, the pair met later that year when, according to Biden, he received Pope Francisencouragement to continue receiving communion.

The friction between President Biden’s faith and his abortion stance has been seized upon by Former President Trump, remarking that voting for Biden would be ‘crazy’ for Catholics. Interestingly, according to the Pew Research poll, only 4 percent of Americans viewed Trump as very religious, whereas 68 percent identified him as not particularly religious.
