INSANE Trump / RFK Jr phone call leaked
In the wake of an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Donald Trump, a phone call between Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has surfaced, revealing troubling content. Recorded without the knowledge of the two men, the call exposes Trump's anti-vaccine rhetoric, which aligns closely with RFK Jr.'s well-known anti-vaccine stance. Trump suggests that vaccines cause radical changes in babies, mirroring RFK Jr.'s controversial claims. The call also includes Trump expressing confidence in their shared victory, to which RFK Jr. responds affirmatively, sparking speculation about their collaboration. This raises questions about Trump's genuine beliefs regarding vaccines versus his tendency to echo the opinions of his audience. Additionally, the phrase "we are going to win" is ambiguous, potentially implying a partnership or simply reflecting Trump's habit of using the royal "we." The release of this call has significant implications, and RFK Jr. has publicly expressed his dismay over its leak. The conversation, though brief, hints at a deeper connection between Trump and RFK Jr. and leaves open questions about their true intentions and beliefs, making it a noteworthy and controversial disclosure.
UNEARTHED AUDIO reveals JD Vance's DEEP hatred for Trump
J.D. Vance's disdain for Donald Trump runs deeper than previously thought. Despite Trump announcing Vance, the Republican Senator from Ohio, as his running mate, numerous past clips have surfaced where Vance describes Trump in highly negative terms, including calling him "noxious" and "America's Hitler." Newly uncovered audio from a 2016 podcast highlights Vance agreeing with the host that Trump is a "total fraud" exploiting people. In 2016, Vance also suggested that white working-class Americans would be less drawn to Trump if they attended church more regularly. This belief aligns with the initial resistance to Trump from evangelical churchgoers, who eventually supported him due to their greater aversion to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. The narrative extends to other Republicans who once harshly criticized Trump, such as Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, but later aligned with him. The question remains whether these figures genuinely changed their views or merely conformed for political gain. Vance's public statements of loyalty to Trump, including a controversial claim about the 2021 election, appear to be what secured his selection as Trump's running mate, despite lingering doubts about his true allegiance.

MAGA Mike Johnson loses battle with teleprompter
Two weeks ago, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson mocked Joe Biden for using a teleprompter. However, at the recent Republican National Convention, Johnson abruptly ended his speech and walked off stage when the teleprompter failed. In the middle of an introduction, the teleprompter malfunctioned, and Johnson, unable to continue without it, left the stage as music started to play. This incident highlights the inconsistency in the criticism of teleprompter use. Johnson had previously pointed to Biden's reliance on a teleprompter as a sign of cognitive weakness, yet found himself unable to proceed without one. This reflects a broader pattern where principles are upheld only when convenient. Despite years of Republicans, including Trump, mocking Democrats like Obama and Biden for using teleprompters, they themselves rely on the same tool. The episode with Johnson at the RNC underscores this hypocrisy, showing that the criticism of teleprompter use is selectively applied based on political convenience.

Fox host SHOCKINGLY says the real reason Trump picked JD Vance
Fox News host Brit Hume discussed Donald Trump's selection of JD Vance as his running mate, concluding that Vance was chosen not for his experience, knowledge, or charisma, but because he effectively aligned himself with Trump. Vance, once a staunch Never Trumper, reversed his position and displayed unwavering loyalty, denouncing his previous anti-Trump stance. This raises concerns about the integrity of selecting a potential president based on loyalty rather than capability. Hume noted that Vance meets Trump's requirements: he is loyal, does not contradict Trump publicly, follows Trump's directives, and avoids drawing media attention away from Trump. The overall atmosphere at the RNC has been one of complete submission to Trump, with chants of "fight, fight, fight" and calls for retribution.

[David: This has to be published.] The reason why President Biden didn't do very well at the debate is simple: He had the early symptoms of Covid and the stress pushed him over the edge. Meanwhile, they probably injected Trump with multiple shots of espresso. A new variant of Covid is going around. I see A LOT of people wearing masks (like at the store), and I have friends and relatives who are sick with it. Please put this out there. Joe is sick and he needs our support more than ever.
