Walz Announces $8 Billion Grant To Somali Company To Investigate Fraud

·Dec 29, 2025 · BabylonBee.com

ST. PAUL, MN — In response to growing allegations of fraud tied to Minnesota's Somali community, Governor Tim Walz announced he had awarded an $8 billion grant to a Somali company to find the perpetrators.

"I'm sparing no expense to find those responsible," Governor Walz announced. "That's why I'm consulting with a Somali private detective agency. They know when to run a mean pick-six."

"They also run a nifty daycare center," he added.

To date, approximately $18 billion has been lost to fraud in Minnesota through fake social service programs run by Somalis, some of whom may be in the country illegally. Walz hopes to get to the bottom of the scandal with a lucrative grant to the newly formed Osman Farah Private Eye Detective Agency for Finding Welfare Fraud

"Look at me. Look at me. I am the detective now," said Detective Osman Farah.

Democrats praised Walz for rising above politics to get to the bottom of the fraud case. "Well, I'm convinced," said Minnesota Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar. "Nothing to see here. As usual, America is the real villain."

Previously, Republicans questioned Walz's leadership throughout the Somali daycare fraud scandal, even going so far as to suggest he's involved. Now, however, they're certain he's just mentally handicapped and unable to run an elaborate money laundering scheme himself.

"We should probably have him arrested, but honestly, this is all so entertaining," House Speaker Mike Johnson said as he ate a bag of popcorn while watching the news. "Ha, they just found another billion. Hilarious."

At publishing time, Somali detectives announced they were close to cracking the case and just needed another $8 billion in funds to be sure.

Conservatism through reason and analysis

American Thinker 

I turned 18 in 1979 and cast my first vote for Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election.  My vote may have been a response to having to wait in line for gas, or the debacle that was the Iran hostage crisis, or it may have been Ronald Reagan’s television persona.  I was tangentially involved in politics and had attended a few Young Republican events in my (Southern California) area, but I didn’t think too deeply about culture, economics, or foreign affairs.

Today, I am a hardcore America First, MAGA, Tea Party Christian conservative.

Since my youth, I have thought deep and long about what I believe and why.  The foundation of my belief system is reason and analysis.

First off, as a California resident, I have seen firsthand the mirage that is leftism.  Democrats appeal to emotion by espousing the good intentions of their proposed policies (and, more recently, the evil intent of Republicans — e.g., “kill Grandma”).  Their policies always lead to disaster.

• Affirmative action
• Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity
• Social justice policing
• Appeasement abroad
• Free trade (resulting in the destruction of our middle class)
• Universal public education
• No-risk college loans
• SNAP benefits for the poor
• Medicaid for All (including illegal aliens)
• Free buses
• Rent control
• Gun control
• Abortion, or the deceptively named “reproductive rights”
• Transing of children, or the deceptively named “gender-affirming care”
• Mass unfettered illegal immigration
• Bend down the (health care) cost curve
• If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor
• Climate change and the urbanization of the populace into smart cities

Wonderful ideas — in theory.  In practice, the outcome of these policies has been disastrous, particularly for those who have bought in to the lie.

Inner cities are rife with drugs, crime, and homelessness.  Social justice policing (and defund the police) has seen an increase in violent crime and a revolving door for the worst criminals being re-released back into the neighborhoods.  Appeasement abroad has seen the encroachment of radicalism, conflict, and war.  Medicaid for All and SNAP have seen a near plurality of citizens (and non-citizens) dependent on the state.  Obamacare has seen the hyperinflation of health insurance premiums, making health care all but unaffordable for a large swath of the American public.  Government-backed student loans have likewise seen hyperinflation of college tuitions and an epidemic of grade inflation, making the college diploma all but worthless.  Abortion and now “gender-affirming care” have diminished the value of life and caused confusion and despair among our young.  Climate change hysteria has resulted in multiple five- to ten-year pronouncements of doom.  Illegal immigration has resulted in 20–30 million unvetted, unapproved people being permitted entry to our sovereign nation, resulting in unassimilated pockets of foreigners whose allegiance is not tied to our laws or our mores.

Leftism (and its failings) is as much a factor in my conservatism as study, reason, and thought.

Our Founders devised governing principles, premised on (nature’s) God, self-rule, and limited government.  As we approach the 250th anniversary of our founding, our destiny is uncertain.  Will we re-dedicate our future to the principles established at our founding, or will we be drawn to yet another batch of (bad) intentions promising utopia?

Podcast thread for Dec 29

 

Too windy outside.

Democrats Hate Police, Love Postal Workers?

Townhall 

That the priorities of Democrats are different from those of normal people should come as a surprise to no one, as most people don’t obsess and swear loyalty to the idea of cutting the genitals off children. But this is what the left lives for – condemning anyone who won’t grab a scalpel and join in. So, the idea that we normal people don't have much in common with them is not shocking; it’s a testament to our sanity.

On Christmas Day, I got an email from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) under the subject line, “re: Postal workers’ thank you card.” When I read it, I kind of stopped and wondered what it was, above and beyond their jobs, the Post Office had done to warrant a thank you. The answer was a resounding “nothing.”

Honestly, the people who have spent years demonizing the police at every turn – all police, no matter the reason, no matter the cause, without exception – never sent out an email telling donors to “thank police.” Could you imagine the absolute fecal storm that would happen if an intern accidentally sent an email like that? I can see the marches and cities burning already.

But, instead of the police, it’s the postal employees. Nothing against postal workers, but I don’t recall them doing anything other than their jobs, and there is nothing special about simply doing your job. The “thanking” is the pay, the benefits and the pension. (Not to mention the massive subsidies from taxpayers to cover the operating costs.)

To Democrats, however, the email opens, “Postal workers are the HEROES of our holiday season!” Jesus isn’t the reason for the season, it’s your mailman!

“Sign the card to thank our nation's postal workers for working tirelessly to deliver millions of gifts and holiday cards this season,” it continues.

Weirdly, the Democrats didn’t thank the people who actually delivered the vast majority of gifts (by a lot): Amazon delivery drivers. I don’t know about you, but I see the mail truck come through my neighborhood once per day and Amazon trucks and just drivers delivering in cars about 20 times. My family’s Christmas didn’t come with a stamp; it came with an Amazon label.

How about yours?

Why not thank Amazon drivers, or at least thank them too? They aren’t unionized, so they don’t have dues taken by “leaders” and given to Democrats as the run for reelection like the Postal Union does.

It all goes to Democrats, including worthless people like Rashida Tlaib, Jon Tester and Kamala Harris. That’s why Democrats care, and it’s the ONLY reason they care.

The email continues, “come snow, rain, heat, or gloom of night, the USPS has tirelessly ensured that Americans receive the mail they need. From delivering prescription drugs to Social Security checks to holiday gifts, our postal workers always get the job done.”

Hilariously, I’ve seen the mail canceled over snow, and who still gets physical checks?

They go on, “That's why this holiday season, we want to show our gratitude with a MASSIVE thank you card for our dedicated public servants. We need 250,000 signatures before we can send it, and we're counting on you to help us get it to the finish line!”

Notice the word they don’t use? It’s “Christmas.” Never once is it mentioned. I mean, they sent the damn email on Christmas Day and they never once typed the word.

It ends, “Please, Derek, help us show our appreciation: Sign the card before midnight to thank postal workers across the country for their hard work!”

The only way to “sign” the card is to donate to the DSCC, by the way. That’s how you know they care. 

Years of “Defund the Police” have never led to “Thank the Police” from Democrats, because why would you thank something you despise? But postal workers? Well, police unions don’t unilaterally and uniformly “give” to Democrats, but the postal workers union does. And, as is always the case with Democrats, with money comes absolute loyalty.

Without money, as the police have learned, comes indifference, both to their existence and their murder, and appointed leadership more interested in a political agenda and racial demographics than qualifications. Democrats demand police leadership as incompetent as postal leadership, and the people who do the actual work are left out in the cold, in both cases.

Thank whoever you want, but note how Democrats only ever use the word to their advantage, which cheapens it and says everything you need to know about them.

Can You Feel the Vibe Shift?

Townhall 

Six months ago, everything was amazing, and six weeks ago, everything sucked, yet now there’s a feeling that the tide is turning. America is back, economically, culturally, militarily, and even in terms of crime. It’s a vibe shift, but these new positive waves that replaced the negative waves, Moriarty, are backed up by objective metrics. Things are getting better for the Trump team as they get better for America. The administration has found its footing again. Sure, there are some internal problems in our movement – there are always going to be disputes within our coalition because this is a human endeavor, but that stuff seems to be slowing down as we sideline the kooks. In the place of the feeling of political vertigo is the inescapable feeling that stuff is getting better, that the country is healing, and that, maybe, 11 months from now in the midterms, it’s not going to be the bloodbath our enemies are praying to their pagan, angry weather goddess for. Take a deep breath, because we have a lot of work to do, but our work is working. And if we are smart and don’t trip ourselves and don’t evolve into a circular firing squad of idiocy, 2026 can be another spectacular year of glory instead of devolving into a roiling cauldron of human waste.

The big issue is the economy. It’s always the economy. James Carville, though he’s grown crazy even as he’s grown irrelevant, was right 3-some odd years ago when he proclaimed, “It’s that economy, stupid.” When people feel especially precarious about money, they’re going to vote accordingly, even if that means accepting a bunch of social issue nonsense. How the Republicans do in 2026 is not going to be determined by historical trends. It’s largely going to be the result of how much money people feel like they have in their pockets and whether they feel that they’re going to continue to have money in their pockets down the road. Voters entering the voting booth always ask themselves how they feel about their economic future. If the answer is “I feel broke and can’t get a job,” the Democrats win. If the answer is, “Yahoo, good times ahoy!” yeah, we’re going to do fine, and we might even add to our majority.

Those of us who are crusty have been to this rodeo before. Ronald Reagan took a while to get his policies in place, and the economy wasn’t pumping before the 1982 elections, at which point he got kicked around. Same with Donald Trump in 2016 – his policies weren’t kicking in before 2018, and those midterms went badly. The economy picked up afterwards into a legendary juggernaut, which would have seen him reelected – even more so than he was – in 2020, if not for the black swan of Covid. 

But in Donald Trump 2.0, the Republicans actually did something smart – oh, I’m sorry, I should’ve warned you to sit down before saying that. The GOP hit the ground running with the Big Beautiful Bill just six months in, got the deregulation stuff going, fired off masses of government bureaucrats/parasites, and teed up the economy for a huge boom. 

In the last few months, though, people have started getting antsy. After all, you can only blame President Eggplant for the crappy economy for so long before people start looking at you and asking, “OK, what’s up?” Well, what’s up is now becoming obvious. Our 401(k)s are up. They’re up hugely. It’s kind of amazing. The stock market is hitting new heights. Now, that’s not going to be important to everybody, though many of us have retirement accounts, but it’s an indicator. If investors are paying more money for stocks, they are feeling good about the future, and investors are paying more money for stocks, hence the bull market.

But that’s not all. We’ve got rate cuts from the Fed, tentative and small ones, but cuts nonetheless. People know that in May, Jerome Powell is getting replaced by someone who doesn’t want to sabotage Trump, and that’s going to fuel the expansion. And what an expansion it is. The recent GDP projections are 4.3 percent, which is huge. Match that with inflation being way down – it’s not deflationary, but the rate of increase is down – and you’ve got a recipe for economic good times ahead.

Again, this isn’t a surprise. Conservative economics always creates booms. We saw what happened under Reagan, and we saw what happened under Trump 1.0 when they put conservative policies into effect. Of course, Trump has done nontraditional things too, like the tariffs, which have not caused the total economic disruption we were promised. Oh yeah, there was some disruption in certain sectors, like agriculture, but when one group is disproportionately affected, you can help them instead of making them bear the entire burden for restructuring the garbage international trade order that we tolerated for far too long. And Trump did that by paying off the farmers. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a good thing. Understand that Trump is not doing superficial stuff with the tariffs. He’s fundamentally changing the way America has accepted trade disadvantages over the last 80 years to let the rest of the world recover from World War II. Of course, the rest of the world didn’t want to revert to something more equal – it was to their advantage to let the gravy train keep rolling, but World War II was nearly a century ago. America is done working hard, so Europeans can import Third World conquerors.

Speaking of Europe, we redefined NATO as an organization where the Europeans now have to play their part. And yes, Trump disrupted the old international order, but the old international order wasn’t working for us. What will replace it will be something better for America, and probably Europe too, though that’s their problem. Elsewhere, Trump has been able to bring peace in many places and may just be able to do it in Ukraine, though nothing seems to make his political opponents angrier than his preventing the mass slaughter of young Slavic men for no appreciable purpose.

Oh, and that stuff about Iran having nukes? Not a thing anymore. Remember the Israel news that was dominating everything a couple of months ago? Yeah, that’s done, and Hamas is in ruins. So are the ISIS scum who are murdering Nigerian Christians. And say adios to drug boats coming to America. Investors, go short on Maduro – that clock is ticking.

Things are getting better here inside our country. The border is closed, and we’re deporting illegal aliens left and right. Nothing makes the Democrats madder than people who shouldn’t be here not being here to replace the native population that doesn’t sufficiently like Democrats. Yes, there’s a lot of resistance from leftist judges who don’t care about the law, but they’re slowly but surely getting beaten into shape by the Supreme Court. There’s a lot of crying and whining about how mean we are to the illegal aliens and scumbag communists who interfere with ICE, but we’re still throwing them out. The numbers tell the tale. We’re at well over 2 million deported, whether they deported themselves or had deportation thrust upon them, and the BBB has enormous ICE funding to punt even more. We’re probably going to have at least 10 million invaders deported by the time Trump leaves office, hopefully to hand it off to JD Vance for eight more years of glorious, merciless remigration.

And just last week, we saw the stats showing that the murder rate is down 20 percent from last year. That’s real human lives saved, in large part, because we’re throwing out the illegal alien criminals the Democrats welcomed in. Understand that they are perfectly happy to have an illegal alien murder you if it means they can create a Third World peasant voting bloc in the future. Watch the Democrats be outraged that Trump is preventing murders. You think I’m joking? They’re going to come out against less murder – you just watch.

But these are just numbers and statistics. What matters to an electorate is the collective gut feeling about the future, and that feeling has changed even in the past several weeks. We had setbacks and made mistakes, going off on useless tangents like the Epstein files and Rob Reiner, so that our momentum stalled as we dealt with nonsense. Well, that’s over. We’re once again moving forward as the President has started to make affordability his focus. Watch for Trump to take the initiative even harder at the State of the Union speech and as he goes out on the road, talking up his achievements. No one trumpets his wins quite like Donald Trump. 

There’s a new positivity in the air. The negativity is fading. You can feel it out there. People are putting their heads up and looking around and seeing that things aren’t quite as bad as they were. It’s a vibe shift, and that’s good for us. We might just vibe our way into a midterm victory.

Cutting Through the Fog and Conflict Within Current U.S. Republican Politics

posted by Sundance at Conservative Treehouse 

Prior to the 2012 Republican presidential primary, many conservative Americans -including myself- were confused by the consistent illusion of choice offered in Republican presidential candidates. The Republican Party’s successful installation of Mitt Romney was the final straw.

Going into the 2016 Republican presidential primary, we became more attune to how the illusion of choice is created. By closely following the Republican Party’s assemblies, tracking the participants, researching the networks and looking at how the Republican Party professionals modified their election rules at a state level, revealed the closed system used to create the illusion of choice.

The GOP winter meeting in Washington DC, December of 2014, outlined the playbook. The sequencing of state elections, the distribution of delegates (proportional or winner-take-all) and various internal mechanisms all play a part. This led to our first breakthrough – we began to understand the “splitter strategy”.

A small group of internal party officers, in combination with powerful established politicians and major donors, could coordinate a party objective to support the “acceptable candidate.”

The outcome of the GOP 2014 winter meeting was a pathway for Jeb Bush in 2016. The outcome of the DNC construct was a pathway for Hillary Clinton. Regardless of which wing of the UniParty system won the election, the actionable outcome in policy would be the same – the institutions of DC maintained, and network affluence apportioned according to the victor.

In this form of party democracy, voting is an outcome of the illusion of choice. The real decisions were/are not being made by voters. The party system determines the candidate. DNC or RNC the policy outcome is a few degrees different, but the direction is the same.

In 2016, the left-wing of the Uniparty would diminish any challenger to Hillary, Bernie Sanders would be controlled. The right-wing of the Uniparty would diminish any challenger to Jeb, divide the voting base and use party rules to clear his path.

The opaque nature of this party control system became clearer when the last GOP candidate entered the race. In the clearest exhibition of controlled politics in modern history, Donald Trump was the wildcard.

Mainstream “conservative” voices, what a later vernacular would describe as “influencers,” began exposing their ideological special interest in this political control system through opposition to Trump, the popular people’s choice candidate.

You know the history thereafter. However, the problem for the GOP wing in 2016 was not Donald Trump per se’, their biggest problem was that American ‘conservatives‘ had discovered their playbook. The illusion of choice was now becoming very well understood by a subset of voters later named MAGA voters, the original “silent majority” was silent no more.

This review is simply context; however, it is important context if we are to understand exactly where we are in late 2025 going into the midterm election in 2026. [Star Wars (2016), the Empire Strikes Back (2020), the Return of the Jedi (2024)]

The fourth chapter of this conflict is now upon us. It is a battlefield that has been unfolding all year.

When you understand the larger objectives behind what is happening, you can clearly see -even predict- each of the moves.

The MAGA momentum coming out of the November 2024 election and going into 2025 was significant.

The Big Club would need to react early and strategically if they were to block MAGA from taking full control of the Republican Party.

Division is a key component of their plan.

Divisive definitions, i.e. “what is conservative“, is the current phase in this larger objective to divide the base of MAGA support. However, the dividing was predicated; it didn’t begin with that question.

The dividing began, as all dividing begins, by using a much more controversial wedge issue: Do you support the govt of Israel, or are you an antisemite?

This sudden debate over supporting the policies of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not surface organically in early 2025. It was planned, and then stimulated as a wedge issue to divide the MAGA movement and begin a larger process to restore the Big Club control of Republican politics.

♦ You Can’t be ‘MAGA’ If You’re Anti-Israel ~ Benjamin Netanyahu

According to those inside America who are pushing the division: if you do not support the policies of Netanyahu, you are an antisemite, a hater of Israel.  This wedge issue, when coupled with the three-stage Alinsky tactic to isolate, ridicule and marginalize, can be used effectively to shrink the ‘Big Tent’ and restore the Big Club.

[SOURCE]

The important element is how the toxic outcome -the division- benefits the traditional Republicans, the traditional Republican Party control officers, the traditional party “conservatives”.  Put another way, division – regardless of how it is achieved, returns the party to the people who control the illusion of choice.

Instead of the Bush machine, Sea Island group or the Traditional GOP confronting MAGA directly, those same operatives simply use the wedge issue of Israel to say, ‘you’re either with us or against us‘.

We have been watching this unfold all year.

♦ Qatar vs Israel: This narrative was the approach that caught me off guard earlier in the year.  Why was this narrative being pushed so early, even in January before the inauguration?

At first, I thought it was just special interest jealousy; positioning to be the biggest voice of influence.  However, as the year went on and the accusations of antisemitism exploded, I realized the originating Qatar vs Israel narrative seeded the later year outcome.

Keep in mind, from a CTH perspective “Qatar” has always represented the interests of the U.S. intelligence agencies (State Dept and CIA); it still does.  [CTH is banned in Qatar] Nothing about that has changed.  What changed is the administration.  The CIA, or what you might consider Qatar under Biden, is different than the CIA, or what you might consider Qatar under Trump.  Qatar, like a chameleon, modifies its position(s) to the interests of the administration.

Qatar is now the narrative proxy representing JD Vance. Israel is now the narrative proxy representing Ron DeSantis

♦ MAIN POINT #1: It is entirely possible to support the State of Israel and still be critical of the politics of the current Netanyahu administration.  However, in order to create a useful wedge, such distinctions must be diminished in order to sharpen the tip of the wedge.  The theme of “Israel first” is used by both sides of the grinding wheel in order to sharpen it.

Terms such as “woke right“, the labels of “antisemite“, or “pro-Islam” or “Israel first“, and all of the iterations therein, become dangerous and intentional political labels. ‘Choose a side’ they proclaim.

Who benefits? The Big REPUBLICAN Club.

♦ Turning Point USA: This narrative is a little more direct and easier to understand.  A big part of the MAGA win in 2024 was due to the youth movement.  The Big Club needs to manage that crowd if they are going to return to control. TPUSA represents a significant political ground game for any candidate.  With thousands of chapters, Christian values and high energy, Turning Point can be a formidable Get Out the Vote (GOTV) operation.

Injecting the Israel support -vs- antisemite wedge into TPUSA is intended to diminish their influence, internally divide their membership and weaken the capability of the organization to deliver influence in the 2028 election.  Ben Shapiro et al versus Tucker Carlson et al.  Again, we see Alinsky methods deployed by the Big Club.

TPUSA is now the proxy representing JD Vance.  Labeling TPUSA as an antisemitic group supports the objectives of the Big Club and Ron DeSantis.  [NOTE: This operation will continue]

♦ BIG TECH – There is no industry better representative of the UniParty apparatus than the colloquially called “technocrats.”

Regardless of which wing of the DC UniParty apparatus wins the 2028 influence game, the big tech consortium considers themselves a governing entity on a scale bigger than the U.S. government itself.

Within the big tech group there are factions of interest.

Larry Ellison (Oracle, TikTok) and his son, David Ellison (Paramount, CBS), are currently making a move to secure Warner Bros/CNN.  Ellison has previously secured CBS influence with the installation of Bari Weiss.

The Ellisons will influence the 2028 GOP in support of Ron DeSantis across their platforms (remember, in the ’24 primary 60 billionaires supported the Florida governor).  The agenda of the original 2016 anti-Trump Sea Island assembly has never changed.

On the alternative tech side, Peter Thiel, and a smaller group of billionaire tech industrialists, are aligned to support JD Vance. Inside the current White House, this group has Crypto/AI Czar David Sacks assisting with policy decisions.  A smaller financial footprint, albeit more strategically placed.

Within the nuance of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) race, essentially a race to see which institutional platforms and players will control the larger AI deployment and database centers, you will note the operational use of Ron DeSantis has begun {GO DEEP}.  However, just to reassert the baseline, big tech as an industry is positioned to win with any candidate.

♦ MIDTERM 2026 – This dynamic is the easiest to predict.  The MAGA big tent is the threat to the Big Club control.  Going forward to the place where the future of the Republican Party will be determined, strategy requires MAGA to suffer losses.  The interparty division now waging war has interim benefits for the Sea Island/Big Club group in the goal of losing the 2026 midterm election.

Again, a key point to the 2026 midterms is to remember the battle is internal first.  The Big Club Republicans need a midterm loss in order to advance beyond President Trump’s control over the party.  If President Trump were to expand the MAGA support base within the republican ranks, the old guard loses position.  Traditional Republicans want a midterm loss.

If President Trump loses the 2026 midterms, the position of JD Vance’s brand of conservatism is weakened. While the value of Ron DeSantis brand of conservatism, supported by the old guard, increases.

♦ VOICES: I am intentionally leaving out the name Marco Rubio from this discussion; in part, because he has already said numerous times that if JD Vance runs in 2028, Rubio will support him. Also, because the 2025 Rubio is a completely different entity than the 2010 to 2024 version.

That said, if you accept the larger dynamic as outlined, and if you overlay the known affiliations, you will quickly begin to see exactly what is taking place.

Mike Pence, the archetype acceptable Republican is reactivated, not to win, but to assist with an evangelical divide.  Ted Cruz, one of the original 2016 ‘splitters’ in the billionaire scheme, is reemerging to activate the Cruz Crew; but again, not to win in 2028, but rather to reassemble his divisive support network.

The Cruz Crew, and the Alligator Emojis (DeSantis) have always been indistinguishable, and they are currently stunningly useful online during deployment of the Israeli wedge.

As things progress, the influencers, who are pushing the division, will eventually drop into place with support for Ron DeSantis.  Just as we accurately predicted each move in the 2016 ‘splitter strategy’, the alignment will happen and will highlight just how long this current operation has been in place.

Mark Levin, Laura Loomer, Ben Shapiro, Joel Pollak, Dave Ruben, the Cruz Crew, Dana & Chris Loesch, Thomas Massie and the Alligator emojis will fall into a unified alignment supporting Ron DeSantis against JD Vance.

Together, with the traditional Fox News group of media outlets, this alignment will surface with a level of subtlety; but once you see the strings on the marionettes you will never be able not to see them. They will eventually be cheering for MAGA losses and defeats.

This cast of characters (and many, many more) will be against JD Vance and Marco Rubio if the current Secretary of State supports him.  This group has already been on the attack against DNI Tulsi Gabbard over her position against not going to war against Iran.

Any “influencer” who aligns favorably toward JD Vance, and by extension MAGA if President Trump endorses him, including Turning Point USA, Erika Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, Megyn Kelly (maybe), Steve Bannon and more, will be viewed as the enemy and subject to the traditional Alinsky attack: Isolate – Ridicule – Marginalize.

♦ Epstein and Other Wedge Issues – When division is the objective, an important focus becomes taking positions on commonality and popular support.  The Epstein File release, and subsequent anti-Trump narrative, becomes supported and enlarged by the dividing tribe.

In general, the dividing group take up popular positions: Epstein file release (popular), anti-Russia (popular), pro-Ukraine (popular), anti-Islam (popular), pro-deportation (popular), smaller government (popular), fiscal conservatism (popular). Each sub-set intended to increase the bonafides of the wedge assembly.

♦ LAST POINT:  Remember the lessons from the past; history rhymes.

GOP politics is Machiavellian politics; you have to stay elevated to see their moves.

As with the previous Hillary Clinton -vs- Jeb Bush construct, the UniParty didn’t care which wing would win – the corrupt political system retains a heading in the same direction.  When Jeb Bush failed in the primary, the old guard Republican “conservatives” shifted their support to Hillary Clinton.

The 2016 “conservative” goal was not to give victory to Hillary Clinton; it was to defeat Donald Trump. Do not forget that.

The outcome of the Big Club’s plan to get control of the political right doesn’t include Ron DeSantis winning; it simply includes the MAGA candidate losing.  That’s their win.

Whoever Trump endorses is ultimately who the Old Guard are against.  The assembly of the anti-Trump “conservatives”, the DeSantis influencer Republicans (useful idiots), are simply tools to ensure the MAGA candidate does not succeed.

Ultimately, in this 2028 UniParty construct, a victory by either one of these non-MAGA candidates will suffice.

♦ SUMMARY: If you are observing a “MAGA split”, simply realize this is not organic.  The same people who had a vested interest in destroying the Tea Party 2012 also have a vested interest in destroying MAGA 2026.

None of this division is organically surfacing. All of this division is being seeded, controlled, enhanced and promoted with very specific intentions.  The old guard is rising up to take back control of the Republican Party apparatus. Almost everything happening is a tool or technique to accomplish this objective.

They need division.
