BANNON: Ronna McDaniel ‘Must Go’ as RNC Chair, Replace With Don Jr.

PHOENIX, Arizona — Former Trump Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon used his platform at the Turning Point Action ‘AmericaFest’ conference to call for the removal of Ronna Romney McDaniel as the head of the Republican National Committee (RNC). Bannon said McDaniel should be replaced by Donald Trump Jr.

Bannon also warned that the deep state’s plan is to trick Donald Trump into naming Nikki Haley as his Vice President. To choruses of boos, Bannon explained the plan for Haley to consolidate the “Never Trump” vote and entice the MAGA movement to unite with who he called “neocon and neoliberal Nikki.”

The 12,000-strong crowd of mostly young right-leaning voters then began chanting, “Tucker! Tucker! Tucker!” in support of former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Mr. Carlson recently used a speech at the American Principles Project Christmas gala to effectively rule himself out of the running.

”She’d be worse than Judas Pence,” Bannon continued, before moving on to lambasting the media for calling Trump a would-be dictator.

Nikki Haley Attacks Trump Over Jan 6.

Nikki Haley, the 2024 GOP hopeful, has followed in the footsteps of Democrats and establishment GOP candidates, attacking former President Donald Trump’s handling of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021.

Joined by Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu on ABC on Sunday, Haley stated, “…when President Trump had the opportunity to stop it, when he had the opportunity say it — the bully pulpit matters, people listen — he didn’t. And I hate that for the people that were there supporting him. I hate that for those of us that were watching it.”

Referencing the Capitol riot, Haley called it a “terrible day,” emphasizing the importance of leadership in such situations with her comment that the “tone at the top matters.” As a response, she promised that her presidency would be one of “no drama, no vendettas, no whining”, which appears to be a subtle critique of Trump.

On the topic of Trump’s criminal charges, some relating to the events of January 6, Haley said she would abstain from direct involvement. She stated that immunity and legal decisions should be left to the courts, despite hinting in the past that she might support a pardon for Trump. Haley made it clear that her attention would be better spent on other matters saying, “It would be wasted energy for me to sit there and focus on court cases and not focus on how to win that room that we just left.”

CNN Legal Analyst Admits Jack Smith Trying to Jail Trump Before Election.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is working overtime to imprison former U.S. President Donald Trump prior to the 2024 presidential election, admits CNN legal expert Elie Honig. Smith is working to fast-track numerous criminal indictments against Trump with the ultimate goal of a conviction that could disrupt the former President’s campaign endeavours, in a flagrant election interference attempt by the Biden regime.

Honig pointed out on CNN that Smith’s urgency is evident in his procedural requests. For instance, Smith initially sought a trial date five months out for a case of significant complexity, considerably shorter than the typical one-and-a-half to two years for most federal conspiracy and fraud trials. Moreover, he observed that Smith’s immediate appeal to the Supreme Court following a district court victory on immunity confirms his rush against time.

“Just look at Jack Smith’s conduct in this case. The motivating principle behind every procedural request he’s made has been speed, has been getting this trial in before the election,” Honig said on CNN.

Multiple criminal indictments have been issued against Trump by Smith since the former president announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race. The cases encompass the alleged handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago and involvement in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot conspiracy, among others. Trump maintains that these indictments are politically motivated. Even if convicted, the U.S. Constitution does not bar Trump from being elected president in 2024.

DeSantis Chief Strategist Jeff Roe Resigns, Says ‘I Can’t Believe It Ended This Way’.

Jeff Roe, the chief strategist for the top super PAC (Political Action Committee) supporting Governor Ron DeSantis’s presidential bid, resigned on Saturday night, marking a significant development for the organization, Never Back Down, which has been embroiled in issues.

In the wake of one chief executive and one board chairman stepping down, along with the forced departure of another chief executive and two top officials, Roe’s exit intensifies the recent wave of turmoil experienced by the group. “I can’t believe it ended this way,” stated Roe in an announcement released Saturday night.

Roe’s departure was instructed by comments made by the new chairman of Never Back Down’s board, Scott Wagner, a DeSantis appointee in Florida. Wagner had identified to The Washington Post the reasoning behind the dismissal of the earlier chief executive and two others – all formerly working under Roe – alleging “mismanagement and conduct issues” and “numerous unauthorized leaks.”

Roe expressed concerns on staying associated with Never Back Down following Wagner’s allegations published by the Post, per his statement.

‘National Review’ Wants ‘Talented’ Christie to Drop Out & Make Way for NeoCon Nikki.

The National Review is urging Chris Christie, the presidential candidate and former New Jersey Governor, to exit the GOP primary to make way neoconservative darling Nikki Haley.

Christie is polling at just three percent nationally, but is somewhat more popular in New Hampshire – a critical early primary state. There, he is polling in third place at 14 percent, compared to 18 percent for Haley. Ron DeSantis, supposedly Trump’s main rival, is in fourth on 11 percent, just one point ahead of Vivek Ramaswamy.

“[A]ll indications are that [Christie’s] vote is being cannibalized from Haley,” the National Review complained. It argued that even if Christie somehow pulled off an upset win in New Hampshire, he could not manage the same trick in other states: “A hypothetical Christie win would rely heavily on support from independents and Democrats in the open New Hampshire primary. Those conditions would be impossible to replicate elsewhere.”

“None of this is to deny Christie’s talents as a politician, his accomplishments in New Jersey, or the important truths he’s been speaking about Donald Trump… [But if] Christie is as committed to stopping Donald Trump as he says, it’s time for him to retire to his tent,” the Review explained.

Its assessment glossed over the fact Christie was America’s least popular governor and New Jersey’s worst-rated governor of all time, however.

Trump would retain a significant double-digit lead in New Hampshire even if every one of Christie’s supporters swung behind Haley, in any case.

CNN’s Oliver Darcy Blasts His Own Network Over Vivek Ramaswamy Town Hall.

CNN’s senior media reporter Oliver Darcy blasted his own network for “legitimizing” Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and his “dangerous lies” by giving him a platform in a town hall on Wednesday. In his ‘Reliable Sources’ newsletter, Darcy argued that despite CNN’s assurances that Ramaswamy would not be able to “spread his lies unchecked” given Abby Phillip’s moderation, the network was still affording him unwarranted attention. Darcy contrasted this to the treatment of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is polling higher than Ramaswamy and has not been offered a similar opportunity by the network.

Ramaswamy used his platform to debunk a number of globalist hoaxes against the political right, including Jan 6 and the Whitmer kidnapping plot.

Darcy said the interview could have been pre-recorded, questioning why a major news network would “help to validate such a preposterous figure” and allow him to further his own agenda. This criticism follows Darcy’s whining about CNN partnering with certain organizations, and his censure of their controversial town hall with former President Donald Trump.

A spokesperson for CNN defended the network’s decision, maintaining that Ramaswamy is a significant contender for the GOP nomination and that voters still have questions for him before the Republican primary. The spokesperson added that the network’s role was to hold every candidate accountable and furnish voters with the necessary information for informed decisions. Reference was also made to Darcy’s disputes with then-CNN boss Chris Licht, who was subsequently dismissed the month after Darcy criticized him in the Reliable Sources newsletter.

Massive 14-Point Swing Puts Trump in Double Digit Lead Over Biden.

Former President Donald Trump has opened up a double digit lead, nationally, over President Joe Biden. According to the new survey data from Rasmussen, Trump leads the Democrat incumbent with 48-percent to Biden’s 38-percent in the 2024 presidential contest. The polling suggests political momentum continues to shift to Trump, as the former President has experienced a 14-point swing in his favor compared to Rasmussen’s last survey results. Biden led Trump by 4-points in Rasmussen’s November poll.

A third party bid by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. appears to siphon more votes from Trump than Biden, reducing the former President’s lead back to single digits. Kennedy’s campaign messaging has been tailored to appeal to some of the same populist swing-voters who might-otherwise support Donald Trump. The National Pulse previously reported Kennedy was pealing off three-times as many Trump donors compared to Biden donors.

President Joe Biden continues to face headwinds for his 2024 re-election bid; with voters especially concerned about the Democrat incumbent’s advanced age, the ongoing House impeachment inquiry into allegations of public corruption, as well as the direction of the economy.

Senator Josh Hawley Endorses Donald Trump For President.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) announced he is endorsing Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nominee during an interview with POLITICO.

“President Trump doesn’t need to worry. I’m with him. He’s asked me several times to support him. I said yes.” Hawley explained, “[a]nd I’ve been saying for a year that I think he’s gonna be the nominee. I support him. I’m gonna vote for him.”

The announcement comes shortly after the 45th President warned both Hawley and Texas Senator Ted Cruz that the Democrats are “looking hard at the Senate races in both Missouri and Texas” in a Truth Social post over the weekend. Trump added, “Josh and Ted must be very careful, stranger things have happened!!!”

The endorsement makes Hawley the 18th GOP Senator to openly declare their support for the former President so far. More than 100 congressional lawmakers have similarly announced their support for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Democrats Deploy ‘Ashley’ AI to Call Voters for Congressional Campaign.

The Democrats are deploying an Artificial Intelligence (AI) “volunteer” named ‘Ashley’ for Shamaine Daniels’s congressional campaign. Voters in south-central Pennsylvania have been receiving calls from the fake “volunteer” since the weekend, in a bid to persuade them to oust Republican Rep. Scott Perry.

“Hello. My name is Ashley, and I’m an Artificial Intelligence volunteer for Shamaine Daniels’ run for Congress,” the AI begins.

‘Ashley’ was created by the tech firm Civox, based out of London, England and San Francisco. As a “generative” AI, the program is able to hold a conversation, answering questions about Daniels, Perry, and their policy positions.

“This technology is going to change the character of what campaigning looks like,” Daniels boasted.

Other Democrats are also using AI to enhance their campaigns. New York City Mayor Eric Adams used it to create audio “deepfakes” of himself speaking Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, and Yiddish. These recordings were them spammed to millions of voters.

AI has also been deployed against Donald Trump by the Ron DeSantis campaign. The Florida Governor has used AI to both fake Trump’s voice and fake pictures of him hugging and kissing Anthony Fauci.

DeSantis Blames Trump For Satanic Altar in Iowa State Capitol, Says Florida ‘Probably’ Wouldn’t Have It.

Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has attributed the establishment of a Satanic altar in Iowa’s State Capitol to the tax-exempt status granted to the Satanic Temple by the IRS towards the end of Donald Trump’s first term in 2019. The comment came up during a CNN town hall in Iowa when DeSantis was asked about the altar. DeSantis falsely claimed the IRS recognition had provided the group with grounds to erect the altar.

CNN host Jake Tapper clarified the granted tax-exempt status doesn’t equate to government endorsement.

Regarding his home state, DeSantis said, “In Florida, I don’t think we probably would have had it up.”
