(RepublicanWire.org) – Just moments ago, former President Donald J. Trump issued the following statement critical of how current President Joe Biden is handling Russian President Vladimir Putin and the invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops that is currently underway.

“If properly handled, there was absolutely no reason that the situation currently happening in Ukraine should have happened at all. I know Vladimir Putin very well, and he would have never done during the Trump Administration what he is doing now, no way! Russia has become very very rich during the Biden Administration, with oil prices doubling and soon to be tripling and quadrupling. The weak sanctions are insignificant relative to taking over a country and a massive piece of strategically located land. Now it has begun, oil prices are going higher and higher, and Putin is not only getting what he always wanted, but getting, because of the oil and gas surge, richer and richer. The U.S. was energy independent under the Trump Administration, an independence that we had never obtained before, and oil prices would have remained low. Now, what a mess our Country is in!” – Donald J. Trump

Following the statement being issued by Trump, several presidential historians noted the unprecedented nature of a former president criticizing the current president during a national security crisis of global consequence. Historically, former presidents do not publicly criticize the current president during a threat to national security.

(RepublicanWire.org) – The vast majority of Democrats in a new survey said they want to see 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton legitimately investigated over her reported role in a plot to ‘spy’ on GOP rival Donald Trump’s campaign and later after he won the election, his White House.

“A growing chorus of Democrats believe 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be questioned by special advisor John Durham for her alleged role in the Russian secret server scandal in a poll conducted before bombshell revelations that her team spied on Donald Trump’s campaign,” the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

“In a poll last month, 66 percent of Democrats wanted Clinton questioned, a whopping 22 percentage points higher than how many in her party demanded a probe last October, according to TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) research,” the report noted.

“The amount of Republicans demanding answers is also swelling, rising to 91 percent in January from 80 percent last October,” the report continued. “Among the independent crowd, those wanting the former secretary of state probed rose to 74 percent from 65 percent.”

Interestingly, the most recent results came before Clinton’s campaign team was linked to a technology firm a Feb. 11 court filing by Durham claims electronically eavesdropped on servers at Trump Tower and the Executive Office of the President under Trump.

“Both polls were completed before Special Counsel John Durham last week released a bombshell report that claimed Clinton’s campaign team tried to spy on former president Trump’s computer servers in a failed attempt to tie him to Russia,” the report noted further.

Following the initial reports regarding Durham’s findings, the Washington Free Beacon reported, citing Federal Election Commission records, that President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign along with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also used the same tech firm, Neustar Information Services, ahead of the elections.

The outlet noted:

According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump.

Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.

The Biden campaign’s payments raise questions about whether Joffe continued snooping on Trump in the most recent election. The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show. The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017. Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.

The Free Beacon adds that it wasn’t clear whether Neustar executives were aware of Joffe’s prior work with the Clinton campaign.

Following Durham’s findings, Trump sounded the alarm over the findings which he said substantiates his many previous claims that his campaign was “spied on.”

“The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia,” he said in a statement.

“This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this,” he added.

(RepublicanWire.org) – The number of Democrats calling a lifetime of public service quits is staggering. Nearly two dozen House members who would claim to be Democrats are leaving office and never returning. They cannot fathom ending a career in politics by suffering a devastating loss simply because their party leaders are clueless about what is happening in the country.

Jim Cooper is one Democrat who has had enough of the insanity. He has revealed his feelings for the party he longed to represent. He has revealed that the Democratic Party is in its final stages because of its self-righteous and holy-art-thou attitude. And they love to tell people what to do and how they should do it.

The Democratic Party expects all of its members to follow suit and not question the direction of the leadership. Cooper stated clearly that “As usual, Democrats are not alert to future dangers. The biggest danger we face in an off-year election after winning the White House is the 100-year trend toward the other party. Redistricting is small potatoes compared to that historical trend. Our party needs to improve its management capabilities. We do not anticipate and organize and plan.”

He admitted that the liberals are clueless about what is happening around them. The truth is that the liberals do not have it within themselves to make rational decisions because they are incapable of it. That means old man Joe Biden makes decisions based on how he feels at the moment instead of researching the facts and acting intelligently.

Cooper confesses about himself and the party that “We’re addicted to telling other people what to think. You can’t win many elections if you’re that self-righteous. It’s important to communicate with your constituents, not to be their boss. You’re their representative. We’ve got to get this formula right. The Democratic Party in Tennessee is basically facing extinction. We’ve been on a long downhill slide for a long time.”

It is rare to hear a Democrat come clean with the truth. But deep down inside, he knows that his party is on a path to destruction, and there is nothing they can do about it. The red wave that swept through Virginia and New Jersey is headed to Washington. And that tsunami will clean out the poison pooling in the shadows.

The nation is crying out with a unified voice that they do not want the socialist package that Joe Biden and the Democrats are trying to force on everyone. The majority of the country knows that Biden stole the election and is not the right man sitting in the White House. But when people are unwilling to stand up and demand an investigation, there is not a lot that can be done.

The red wave that is moving through the country will be the end of the Democratic Party. It has already turned blue states red and solidified that the Republican Party has the answer to the problems that the old man Biden has created for America.

The people that Donald Trump and other influential Republicans are endorsing are winning the votes. The country knows that voters must head to the polls and make their presence felt to keep liberalism out and the Democrats from overrunning the country.

Donald Trump put America on a path to greatness and security while in office. And on day one of Joe Biden’s tenure, he destroyed the mechanisms that even liberals had come to enjoy. He could not stand to see a Republican president being so successful. It made him jealous, and it has cost people their lives.

Cooper’s revelation about his party is proving out to be true. There is so many Democrats’ jumping ship that the party does not have it within itself to stay afloat. People are tired of being pushed around, and they are ready to do away with the blue and join up with the Republican Party that is ready to serve the people the way all politicians should be doing.

(RepublicanWire.org) – He didn’t announce whether he would launch another campaign for the presidency, but former President Donald Trump pledged at his first rally of 2022 that come 2024, “we are going to take back the White House.” 

And speaking in front of a sea of supporters gathered at the Country Thunder festival grounds in Florence, Arizona, Trump delivered what sounded like his first stump speech of a possible 2024 campaign.

Trump repeatedly took aim at President Biden, who defeated him in the 2020 presidential election. Trump deemed his successor in the White House “incompetent” and blasted Biden on a wide range of issues, including the coronavirus pandemic, the economy, foreign policy and crime.

While Trump looked ahead to 2024 as well as this year’s midterm elections – he predicted that “a great red wave is going to begin right here in Arizona” and vowed that “this is the year we take back the House, this is the year we take back the Senate” – he spent much of his speech looking back to his 2020 election loss to Biden.

The former president repeated his unfounded claims that the 2020 election was “rigged” and once again claimed that “I ran twice and we won twice.”

It was no surprise that Trump chose Arizona to kick off his first rally of the new year. Besides being a key battleground in the 2022 midterms, with high profile showdowns for Senate and governor, it is also one of a half-dozen states where Biden narrowly edged Trump in 2020 to win the White House. 

Last year, a Trump-fueled and GOP-driven partisan audit of votes was conducted in Maricopa County, Arizona’s most populous county. Results of the review found that Trump received a couple of hundred fewer votes than the results from the certified election.

On Deck

Trump’s second rally of 2022 will take place on Saturday, Jan. 29, in Conroe, Texas, which is north of Houston.

The former president’s Save America PAC announced on Friday that the rally would be held at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. It comes one month for primary day in Texas.

A source close to Trump told Fox News that the former president plans to hold roughly two rallies per month going forward.

Trump vs. DeSantis

Did Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis add fuel to the fire in what seems like a burgeoning spat between the popular conservative governor and the former president?

DeSantis has seen his popularity surge among Republican voters in his state and around the nation over the past year and a half, thanks in large part to his combative pushback against COVID-19 restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic.

After Trump last week said in an interview that politicians who won’t publicly say whether they’ve received a COVID vaccine booster shot are “gutless” – which was widely seen as a shot at DeSantis –  the governor appeared to return fire Friday in an interview on the popular conservative podcast “Ruthless.”

DeSantis said he should have been “much louder” in trying to convince Trump to oppose lockdowns as the pandemic was sweeping the nation in February and March 2020. 

And the governor touted that “when COVID was first coming… I was telling Trump ‘stop the flights from China’ because we didn’t know what we were dealing with.”

DeSantis shut down Florida as the pandemic engulfed the nation, but was also one of the first governors in 2020 to lift coronavirus restrictions.

DeSantis, a former congressman who was narrowly elected Florida governor in 2018 in part thanks to then-President Trump’s support, is running for reelection this year. And he’s polled a consistent – and distant – second to Trump in most of the early 2024 GOP presidential nomination polls.

Asked about his rising popularity among Republican voters nationwide, DeSantis said in his “Ruthless” interview “I think what people see, quite frankly, Republicans, they want to see people actually lead and get things done and fight back. And that’s what we’ve done. We’ve had to do it tooth and nail. We don’t back down from anybody. And we do things. And so, I don’t just wait for things to happen.”

Trump has predicted that if he runs for the White House again, DeSantis won’t run. The governor has deflected when asked about 2024. “It’s way down the road. It’s not anything that I’m planning for,” DeSantis said in a Fox News interview last autumn.https://5112d14361f49db37ba00891f9dcf1ae.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-38/html/container.html

And DeSantis blamed the media for talk of any tensions with the former president.

“I think this is what the media does, and you cannot fall for the bait. You know what they’re trying to do. Don’t take the bait, and just kind of keep on keeping on. We need everybody united for a big red wave in 2022,” the governor argued.

2024 poll

A Quinnipiac University national poll conducted Jan. 7-10 and released last week had some tough numbers for both Trump and President Biden.

The president’s approval rating dropped to just 33% in the survey.

And by a 59%-33% margin, those questioned said they wouldn’t like to see Trump run again. 

According to the poll, 69% of Republicans want to see Trump run again. But that’s down from 78% who said the same thing in Quinnipiac’s October survey.

(RepublicanWire.org) – When you know you’re about to get caught you start making things up to deflect attention or avoid getting caught. It’s a natural human thing to do. However, a 3-year warning of the failure to come in 2024 is beyond rational. It’s almost as if they see how much most of America hates what has happened in the last year so much that they are not willing to stick by the current administration but are too lazy to do anything about it.

When the leftist rag The Atlantic began publishing a story called ‘Trump’s Next Coup Has Already Begun’ you know it’s going to be some very divisive and hatful reading. This article focuses on trying to poke holes in conservative logic but does a horrific job of it. They simply re-organize facts to fit their desires, but nothing to identify the truth. 

Barton Gellman’s way of telling the tale is to provide ‘amusing’ anecdotes and tall tales. Flipping facts around and stitching together commonly held beliefs thinking that might make them facts is his MO. It all is based on a few key points. “For more than a year now, with tacit and explicit support from their party’s national leaders, state Republican operatives have been building an apparatus of election theft. Elected officials in Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states have studied Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the 2020 election. They have noted the points of failure and have taken concrete steps to avoid failure next time. Some of them have rewritten statutes to seize partisan control of decisions about which ballots to count and which to discard, which results to certify, and which to reject. They are driving out or stripping power from election officials who refused to go along with the plot last November, aiming to replace them with exponents of the Big Lie.”

While Gellman loves trying to poke holes in facts with these statements, he really has no clue what he’s talking about. He instead just makes up things that fit his ideas and tries to get the people to buy them. Given the left’s inability to accept any viewpoint held by a non-leftist and you are in a vicious circle of self-butt kissing. This means the left gives themselves award after award. This in turn gives Gellman’s work a lot of ‘credit’ among the mainstream and leftist media which is one in the same these days.

Gellman misses the entire point and connects the dots to things that do not exist. As his article states “Consistently, around the world, they tended to be in their 20s and early 30s. Among the January 6 insurgents, the median age was 41.8. That was wildly atypical. Then there were economic anomalies. Over the previous decade, one in four violent extremists arrested by the FBI had been unemployed. But only 7 percent of the January 6 insurgents were jobless, and more than half of the group had a white-collar job or owned their own business. There were doctors, architects, a Google field operations specialist, the CEO of a marketing firm, a State Department official. “The last time America saw middle-class whites involved in violence was the expansion of the second KKK in the 1920s,” Pape told me.”

He loves relying on the words of Robert A. Pape; a University of Chicago professor and fellow crackpot conspiracy theorist. Both men directly feed into each other’s goals and ideals, and both forget that correlation is not causation. As such, things don’t always line up as cleanly or as well as you think they do. However, that is no mind to Gellman or the rest of the left. If it lines up to fit their narrative, or if they can readjust how it lines up so it works for the narrative, then it’s a big win for them. These people are wrong, but what are we going to do to stop them?

Pundits are already discussing the next presidential election less than a year into President Joe Biden’s first term. Many politicos believe the 46th POTUS isn’t going to be on the ticket the next time around and are discussing who might run for the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton’s name is being thrown into the mix but her allies are reportedly laughing off the possibility.

Clinton, who lost to former President Donald Trump in 2016, recently stirred up rumors about a possible run after posting a message on Twitter about the next presidential election being crucial for America.

The former first lady and secretary of state has also been in the spotlight a lot lately, attending conferences and being very vocal on Twitter. However, although some believe she might be thinking of making another run for the White House, others think it’s a bad idea. Dick Morris, a conservative who served as the chief advisor to former President Bill Clinton’s campaign until 1996, told the Washington Examiner he doesn’t think Hillary would “be a serious candidate.” A former 2008 Hillary surrogate told the website, “There’s no appetite. None. Zero,” for her to run. The sentiment was repeated time and again.

If Hillary thinks she’s going to rise from the ashes of her 2016 political defeat, she might have another thing coming.

It looks like the Democrats are not feeling optimistic about Joe Biden running for Reelection in 2024. In a recent poll, one out of three said that he should not run for president in 2024 and 31% want him replaced by Vice President Harris. But that’s not the worst news…Read until the end to see who they’ve just added to the list of potential candidates!

Biden has long said that he will run for re-election after his four years are up, but new rumors are  that he would only run in 2020 to defeat Trump and help usher in a replacement of establishment choice.

A recent survey revealed that 60% of Democrats want him to seek a second term while only 9% of Republicans feel the same way. Among GOP voters, 86% disagree with their party’s leader and say Biden shouldn’t get another four years in office as president; 31%-percent disagreed when asked how long they wanted this current administration to stay in power.

If Biden didn’t run, Vice President Kamala Harris is leading with 31%  saying they would want her on the ticket if not Biden in 2024.

Next on the list is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg with 11%.

Followed up by Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who are tied for third place with 8% each.

AOC is a new entrant on this list and one that seems to baffle the mind. No idea what makes Democrats think she would make a good President. The Socialist AOC would destroy America as we know it, and everyone, including the Democrats would be worse off for it.

Biden still pretends he’s running in 2024, not sure how that’s possible since most of his party doesn’t want him to. We’ll soon see how this all shakes out.
