‘Mini-Soros’ Reid Hoffman Pulls Out of Nikki Haley After New Hampshire.

Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn and Democrat megadonor, is suspending his financial support for Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley’s presidential primary campaign following her defeat to Donald Trump in New Hampshire. In December of last year, Hoffman said that while he is a Joe Biden supporter, he believed Haley had the best chance of defeating former President Donald Trump in the Republican primary.

The news that Hoffman — who visited child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, Little St. James — has frozen his financial support may signal the beginning of an exodus of major donors from the Haley campaign. On Tuesday, Haley — the former Governor of South Carolina — was soundly defeated by Trump in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary by a 12 percent margin. Trump wracked up over 166,000 votes, the most ever received by a Republican primary candidate in the Granite State. Haley was primarily reliant on non-Republican voters to boost her showing.

While the tech billionaire has primarily funded Democrat candidates — including President Joe Biden’s campaign — he contributed at least $250,000 to a pro-Haley SuperPAC late last year. “If America is to avoid another Trump presidency, it will be because Trump loses an election next year. If he is to lose, it will either be to Nikki Haley in the primary, or Joe Biden in the general,” Hoffman said at the time, justifying his contribution to the Haley campaign.

An avowed partisan liberal and globalist, Hoffman has funded several efforts attempting to derail former President Trump’s return to the White House in 2024. The tech billionaire was revealed as the financier of E. Jean Carroll’s rape and defamation lawsuit against Trump in New York last year. In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to the physically rotund LinkedIn founder as “Piglet Reid Hoffman.”

DeSantis Predicted Low Turnout & Lib Dominance in NH… He Was Wrong, Again.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis predicted a low turnout in New Hampshire during what has become a typically bitter media outing on Tuesday, this time on the Steve Deace Show. In reality, President Trump broke records in the Granite State, with DeSantis’s political acumen now under further scrutiny for his bizarre and misguided forecasts.

In his first, soft-ball interview since dropping out of the Republican presidential nomination contest, DeSantis said he believed Republican turnout would fall short of expectations in New Hampshire. He argued that his low turnout prediction is indicative of a greater enthusiasm problem inside the GOP.

“They were conservative, but they did not want to see Trump nominated again, but they had basically been told that it was inevitable, that it was over, so why even bother?” DeSantis told ‘NeverTrumper’ host Deace, arguing apathy caused lower turnout in Iowa. In reality, the sub-zero degree windchill and winter storms depressed turnout in the Hawkeye State. The Florida Governor then predicted New Hampshire would see a similar drop in voter turnout; DeSantis added: “Trump’s going to win… But what’s the overall turnout?”

In fact, the New Hampshire Republican primary saw a record-breaking turnout. Former President Donald Trump handily defeated Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley by around 12 points. As of early Wednesday morning, the New Hampshire Secretary of State confirmed more than 300,000 voters participated in the Republican primary contest. The previous turnout record was set in 2016, with just over 287,000 voters casting a ballot.

Trump is the only non-incumbent Republican to win both the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary in a single election cycle. The former Republican President outperformed his 2016 primary margins in nearly every New Hampshire locality — winning many by double digits. Pushing past 166,000 total votes, Trump secured the most ballots any Republican has ever received in the New Hampshire primary contest.

Dem PAC Drops $1M on Chinese TikTok App ‘Influencers’ to Aid Biden.

Priorities USA, a Democrat-aligned SuperPAC supporting Joe Biden’s presidential re-election campaign, is dropping $1 million on social media influencers to increase the 81-year-old President’s standing among youth voters. The SuperPAC is pushing content creators and influencers to post on Instagram and the Chinese-owned TikTok app to shore up support among Zoomer and younger Millennial voters. Recent polling shows the Biden campaign has seen a collapse of support among the 18 to 34 age demographic.

Social media influencers whose usual content has focused on everything from skincare routines to cooking demonstrations to luxury travel have begun adding new, more political content. Priorities USA is paying these influencers to encourage thousands of followers to register to vote and support progressive candidates. The Democrat SuperPAC has pledged $1 million to the effort and claims they’ve recruited 150 social media influencers to push pro-Biden messaging.

Young voters in critical swing states have increasingly soured on Biden’s candidacy. Concerns over the octogenarian Democrat’s age, mental competence, and his government’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza have caused an erosion in support among the critical Democrat youth demographic. In 2022, other Democrat SuperPACs used paid social media influencers to push the youth vote with mixed results.

Additionally, the Biden campaign’s embrace of TikTok raises national security questions. Many state and local governments have banned using TikTok on work computers and smartphones. National security officials have warned the app has potential intelligence-gathering uses for the Chinese Communist Party. TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance, spent over $7 million in 2023 to influence U.S. lawmakers to oppose efforts to ban the app entirely.

“We look forward to working with TikTok throughout the cycle,” Jack Doyle, a spokesman for Priorities USA said when asked about the SuperPAC’s influencer campaign.

Gingrich: Trump is Next POTUS, ‘Get Over It.’

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says he believes the Republican presidential primary is already over, with former President Donald Trump being the presumptive nominee. The Republican leader, writing for the U.K. newspaper The Telegraph, argues Trump’s back-to-back historic wins in Iowa and New Hampshire seal the deal in the nomination contest.

“The reality is that President Trump is going to be the Republican nominee. He leads in every state for the nomination, “Gingrich writes, before continuing: “He has the only nationwide organization that can mobilize in all 50 states. He is ahead nationally among Republicans with 63.1 percent of the vote. Elected Republicans are beginning to rush to endorse him.”

Gingrich goes on to warn that “Never-Trump Republicans and Trump-hating elite media won’t go down without a fight.” Instead, he argues, they will try to build Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley up as an alternative to Trump, hoping they can make her “a big enough star that she can carry her home state of South Carolina.”

Trump holds a commanding lead in recent polls of South Carolina primary voters. The former Speaker notes: “South Carolina is one of Trump’s strongest states and the Republican establishment in South Carolina deeply dislikes Haley. She is currently trailing Trump in the polls by a 30-point margin.”

“President Trump is the leader of a national movement,” he writes: “Leaders have a much deeper claim on the loyalty and affection of their supporters than mere candidates have.”

“Trump will be the Republican nominee — and from my view, he already is,” Gingrich concludes.

AUDIO: AZ GOP Chair Caught On Tape Trying To Bribe Kari Lake To Not Run For Senate.

Jeff DeWit, chairman of the Arizona Republican Party, has been caught on a secret recording appearing to bribe Kari Lake not to run for U.S. Senate. The state party chairman mentions “very powerful people” who are “back east” — likely referring to establishment Republicans in Washington, D.C. — who want Lake out of the Arizona Senate race and are willing to compensate her financially.

At one point in the recording, DeWit asks Lake if there is a dollar “number” for which she’d abandon her candidacy. DeWit was recorded saying, “Just say, is there a number at which…” before Lake cuts him off. The former Republican gubernatorial candidate interrupts, shocked by DeWit’s question: “I can be bought? That’s what it’s about?”

The chairman replies that Lake could “pause for a couple of years” and then “go right back to” her political advocacy. In response, Lake gives a firm “no,” adding: “Ten million? Twenty million? Thirty? No… a billion? No.”

On the recording, Lake tells DeWit, “This is not about money. ” She continues, “This is about our country.” She goes on to call DeWit’s proposition “disturbing.” Despite the firm rejection, DeWit continues to pressure Lake.

“I’m not going to let these people who hate our f***ing country tell me not to run,” Lake fired back. “You should call them and tell them to get behind me.”

According to DeWit, the D.C. Republican establishment doesn’t view Lake as “being on the team,” prompting Lake to respond: “If they’re pushing a globalist agenda, I can’t do that.” At this point, DeWit again appears to offer Lake a bribe directly, telling her “the people back east” were willing to give her a cushy corporate job in exchange for staying out of Arizona politics for two years.

Again, Lake rejected the bribe, telling DeWit: “I think this is about defeating Trump! And I think that’s a bad, bad thing for our country.”

His Truth Is Marching On: Trump Emerges Victorious in New Hampshire.

Former President Donald Trump has won the New Hampshire primary, following up his victory just last week in the Iowa Republican Caucus. All eyes are now on Trump’s primary opponent, Nimarata’ Nikki’ Haley, and whether the former South Carolina governor will continue her long-shot bid for the Republican nomination.

On Sunday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis dropped out of the Republican presidential primary contest, endorsing former President Trump for the nomination. The Trump campaign is expected to receive additional support from DeSantis voters in the upcoming primary states heading into Super Tuesday on March 5th.

Calls for Republicans to unify behind former President Trump and for Haley to end her primary challenge will likely intensify with Trump scoring his second convincing primary victory in just over a week. Trump has ruled out selecting Haley as his Vice-President.

Up next on the primary calendar is the Nevada primary and caucus. The Nevada primary will be held on February 6th — though no convention delegates are awarded. The Republican party-administered caucus will be held on February 8th, with the convention delegates up for grabs. Nimrata’ Nikki’ Haley is in the primary, while former President Trump is in the caucus.

After Nevada, the South Carolina primary is next on February 24th.

‘Zuckerbucks’ Group Begins Interfering in 2024 Election.

The Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which spent tens of millions of dollars boosting turnout in Democrat districts in 2020, is moving to help election officials secure Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants ahead of the 2024 election. FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) fund includes $701 million in competitive grants, ostensibly to protect public infrastructure against hazards such as floods  — but the CTCL says it can also be used to “improve elections operations” as “elections are a critical service.”

The CTCL is leading a webinar series, starting January 25th, to help election officials apply for the FEMA grants and provide “inspiration for what the grant funds can be used for.” Previously, the CTCL used “Zuckerbucks” from the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative to fund supposedly nonpartisan projects in collaboration with local officials to increase turnout.

These projects overwhelmingly benefited Democrat-leaning areas. Phillip Kline of the Amistad Project argues the spending was, therefore, illegal, as it resulted in some voters having more opportunities to vote and have their votes counted than others.

“[W] e’ve privatized our elections, that’s the problem,” Kline said of the involvement of actors like the CTCL in elections earlier this month.

“We have private resources in election offices… America’s been kicked out of the counting room, nonprofits, and billionaires have been invited in,” added the former Kansas Attorney General.

ChatGPT Will Send Users to Election Site Run By RINO Who Said There Was No 2020 Election Fraud.

OpenAI will direct ChatGPT users to the website “CanIVote.org” — run by the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) — to curb what they believe will be attempts to abuse the AI chat tool in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. NASS, an umbrella ‘non-partisan’ organization for state government’s Secretaries of State — is run by the Republican Kansas Secretary of State, Scott Schwab. Despite evidence of irregularities, Schwab insisted there was no indication of fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

During the 2022 primary election, Schwab came under fire from his Republican primary challenger, Mike Brown, for numerous administrative errors, including printing duplicated ballots. Mistakes like duplicate ballots and errors with voting machines continue to undermine confidence in U.S. elections.

The move by OpenAI — whose valuation may climb to $80 billion, making it the third most valuable start-up in the world — raises concerns about the amount of influence and control the company could exercise over U.S. and global elections. Numerous corporations use their powerful ChatGPT tool to power everything from ChatBots to contention generation to computer coding.

Concerns over doctored images and communications have led OpenAI to enact an authenticity program in which digital credentials will be set by third-party AI firms that will label pictures created by the DALL-E 3 image generator. However, there are no safeguards to prevent abuse by the watchdogs themselves.

Polling from late 2023 indicates a majority of Americans are concerned that the 2024 election will be impacted by cheating. Last year, a coding error flipped votes between candidates in a Pennsylvania judicial race. Also of concern is the admission by election officials that voting machines won’t be federally certified in time for the 2024 election.

Top DeSantis Aide Has Meltdown on X: Bemoans Low Pay and Lack of Vacation Time Working for Ron.

Christina Pushaw, the Rapid Response Director for the DeSantis campaign, is not taking the Florida Governor’s landslide defeat in Iowa in stride. The campaign flack posted a lengthy rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday portraying her dedication to the collapsing campaign as a selfless act.

“I personally would have a better life outside of politics,” Pushaw wrote. “I would probably be able to earn more money at a private sector job and have more free time and maybe even take a vacation once in a while,” she added, in what appeared to be a dig at her own negotiated salary and allowed time off. During a major incident in her boss’s state last year, Pushaw took time away from her desk to attend yoga classes.

Pushaw’s most recent outburst was in response to calls for her and other DeSantis campaign officials to be ‘blacklisted’ from Republican political circles. The Florida Governor’s refusal to drop out of the primary contest after Donald Trump’s historic margin of victory in the Iowa Caucus drew criticism from numerous Republican Party officials and activists.

The DeSantis campaign’s communication team members—including Pushaw, Jeremy Redfern, and Bryan Griffin — have repeatedly come under fire for their erratic social media outbursts. This past September, Pushaw attacked pro-life stalwart Frank Pavone over his endorsement of former President Donald Trump. She suggested the Vatican’s decision to defrock the former Catholic priest made sense given his support for Trump. When Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) endorsed Nimarata ‘Nikki’ Haley for the Republican presidential nomination, Pushaw took to social media to denounce the organization as “the establishment” — despite having previously worked for AFP herself.

Last month, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted the online behavior of the DeSantis team during an interview at Turning Point Action’s AmericaFest. “The people who represent him online are the nastiest, the stupidest, and the most zero-sum people I’ve ever seen in my life,” Carlson said.

Bloomberg: Elections Are a Threat to Democracy.

With over 40 elections set for the United States, United Kingdom, and a host of other nations in 2024, U.S. corporate media giant Bloomberg is questioning whether inviting regular citizens to vote for representative governments really serves “democracy”.

In an article by Tobin Harshaw, a Bloomberg opinion editor who previously edited the opinion section at for The New York Times, readers are warned that ‘2024 Is the Year of Elections and That’s a Threat to Democracy’.

Harshaw notes: “41% of the world’s population is having major elections this year. Yay democracy! Right? Not really.” He argues that because people may exercise their democratic right to vote for “extremist populist parties – mostly right-wing,” that elections are not good for democracy.

Weighing the “chances everything turns out alright – somebody other than Trump wins the U.S. presidency; the UK regains its senses [and reverses Brexit]; China is dissuaded from invading its ‘rogue province’; the Middle East finds peace; and dictatorships fall left and right,” the Bloomberg editor cites writers John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge as estimating that the “liberal world” has a ten percent chance of prevailing.

“EEK! ” writes Harshaw, who is almost 60 years old, adding: “Big Yikes!”

This year could see Donald Trump become President-elect again, national conservative and populist parties greatly increase their presence in the European Parliament of the European Union, and discontent over mass migration grow the Flemish nationalist presence in the Belgian legislature to the point that the country breaks up.

2024 will also see elections held in Russia – but not Ukraine, as Volodymyr Zelensky has suspended them – and Taiwan, where victory for the Democratic Progressive Party could increase the chances of a Chinese invasion.
