Thoughts On The 2026 Ohio Primary Election Results
TL;DR – they were great!
Just stopping in briefly to talk about this important result. I wish I could spend more time on this, but I have to get back to work.
This primary was important for both Trump and Vivek – and for me. We MUST defeat Lockdown Amy and Proggy Pepper. Ohio is SCREWED if these socialists win. They probably cannot win, but we cannot let down our guard.
Yes, Ramaswamy is “polished” to the level of being “Ratha-smarmy”. But he also has “the stuff” – and I mean the stuff that a certain President has even more of.
His Wikipedia page is very interesting, and has some surprises.
Here is Vivek’s victory speech queued up to the brief introductions.
Now, in more detail, the result.
Kalbo brought this tweet on Wednesday….
🚨 WOW! Vivek Ramaswamy wins 100% PERCENT of Ohio counties in the governor GOP primary — and with nearly all of the vote counted, he has 82.5% of the vote
🚨 MASSIVE TRUMP VICTORY IN INDIANA! RINO Sen. Greg Walker — who voted AGAINST redistricting — has been CRUSHED by Trump-endorsed Michelle Davis! President Trump is 6 FOR 7 tonight 🔥 MAGA is taking back the GOP 🇺🇸💪#TrumpEndorsed#IndianaPrimary#MAGApic.twitter.com/oxXiYMtbrY

Yeah, Indiana is demonstrably Trump Country. And so is Ohio.
Back to Ohio.
What the media and the Dems were hoping for, was any sign of weakness on Vivek’s part. The Dems are desperate to get Sherrod Brown back into the US Senate, and their next goal after that, is to get Lockdown Amy and the man who would be the REAL governor, Democrat Party Chairman David Pepper, into the statehouse.
Vivek’s “Republican” opponent, Casey Putsch, shouldn’t have even been on the ballot, much less getting 15% of the vote, and in a sane world, he would have gotten NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING. However, the Democrat media has done every bit of heavy lifting possible, to take an anti-Trump, anti-Israel, anti-everything non-pol who had zero experience with the Republican party, who could never even win a school board seat in a safe district, and give him the media coverage needed to make him “credible” – while at the same time, social media bots have used the Epstein, Fuentes, Bondi, and Palestine Genocide strategies to boost him with as many MTG-type MAGA as they could.
AND YET – Vivek beat Putsch far worse than any other machine pick beat an anti-machine upstart in recent Ohio history. Bottom line, IMO – Vivek is a stronger candidate than ANY Ohio Republican governor candidate in decades, including Kasich and DeWine. There is a reason that the Machine picked him.
Note that Vivek is using the same machine staffing strategy that the Dems are using. Acton picked David Pepper as her Lieutenant, because he’s actually capable of putting together a strong [socialist, Demmunist] administration FAST. Well, Vivek picked the Ohio Senate President, Rob McColley, as HIS Lieutenant. This wise move tells me that Vivek is not only serious about transforming Ohio – he is actually capable of transforming Ohio.
Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he backed Vivek.
I think the following pair of tweets explains why Vivek is going to beat Lockdown Amy. I won’t explain it too well, because I don’t want to help the Demmunists, but this says it all.
The screech owls here have to be ignored because they’re working for the enemy. Vivek was another reason I voted for Trump. Especially after the town hall in Springfield Ohio. He is engaging and brilliant.
He will be president someday and is a star for the Republicans.
If you only looked at X, you’d think the Republican Party rejected Vivek Ramaswamy. Groypers screaming. Doomposts everywhere. But reality just dropped: Vivek wins with 86% of the vote. Online is not real life. The real Republican Party isn’t racist. We don’t care about skin color. We want visionary leaders who fight for America First — bold, smart, unapologetic. Vivek delivered. And the same thing is coming for Byron Donalds. The Groypers don’t own this party. We do. Real voters. Real results. Real future. #AmericaFirst#Vivek2026#ByronDonalds”
And the response…..
The screech owls here have to be ignored because they’re working for the enemy. Vivek was another reason I voted for Trump. Especially after the town hall in Springfield Ohio. He is engaging and brilliant. He will be president someday and is a star for the Republicans.
And with that, I will get back to work! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PS – if you want to understand just how BAD Casey Putsch was, just read this tweet. I don’t agree with Forney’s full take on Vivek, but he nukes all the nukeables of the “Retard Right”!
Casey Putsch has been defeated in a humiliating landslide.
It's not even close. Vivek Ramasmarmy buried Putsch by 70 points.
We need to talk about the Retard Right and why they fail. It pains me to say this as I like Casey and believe he had genuinely good ideas that would have… https://t.co/JXfdHs5qNCpic.twitter.com/sKytudBglp
Casey Putsch has been defeated in a humiliating landslide.
It’s not even close. Vivek Ramasmarmy buried Putsch by 70 points.
We need to talk about the Retard Right and why they fail. It pains me to say this as I like Casey and believe he had genuinely good ideas that would have economically revitalized Ohio, such as his infrastructure plans. But he failed for a reason, and unless people understand the reason, this will just happen over and over.
1) Don’t attack Trump.
The image of Casey Putsch burning his MAGA hat doomed him right out of the gate. I don’t care how disappointed you are with Trump, how many blackpills that Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes have fed you. Donald Trump IS the Republican Party. He runs the show. You need his blessing or at least his neutrality to get anywhere.
The majority of Republicans—the people Casey needed to win over—support Trump. There is no constituency for being Based and Anti-Trump, it’s a less popular position than Liz Cheneyism. Casey Putsch could have cleared this up with an immediate apology: “I was wrong to turn on Trump. I have my problems with him, but I believe in what he’s doing. I’m running to support his MAGA agenda and help him finish the job.” Pride, foolishness, or Internet poisoning kept him from humbling himself. Even Thomas Massie has had to pivot his campaign to lying about how he’s best buddies with Trump, because his actual connections with the Squad etc. are electoral poison in Kentucky. Just trust Trump! It’s not that hard!
2) Get off social media.
Vivek Ramasmarmy is an incredibly weak candidate, off-putting in person, has a deep contempt for white Americans, and wants to flood Ohio with Indians. He should be as easy to knock over as a feather in the wind. Vivek practically wrote Putsch’s campaign messaging for him.
So what did Casey do? Did he hit the streets, post ads telling Ohioans that Vivek hates them and wants to replace them? That should have been the front and center of everything he did. No. Instead, he kept posting about how AI told him that Israel is Satanic. He kept wading into the Epstein files swamp. He went to Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest and shared the stage with a fat anchor baby and a Muslim hijabi, both of whom openly hate white Americans, destroying any credibility he had in attacking Vivek for his anti-white views.
Social media is not real life. The heady days of 2016 or even 2024 are over. As @Freedomalternat pointed out in his post-mortem on the Hungarian election, Twitter and other social media sites are so overrun with bots and AI slop that they do not represent public opinion anymore. Stunting on the hoes online cannot help, it can only hurt. Ed Gallrein is already using Anti-Semitic Fyre Fest clips to attack Thomas Massie. Vivek himself realized how damaging his X posts were to his political ambitions, so he got off social media to focus on retail campaigning. This is why he won.
3) Stop talking about the Jews.
Israel, pro- or anti-, is not an important issue for the kinds of voters you need to win a Republican primary. They want to hear about jobs, inflation, crime; meat and potato issues. Not only that, a governor’s ability to influence Israel, Iran etc. is fuck all.
Mouthing off about how much you hate Israel cannot help in a Republican primary. Again, it can only hurt, because you look like a deranged moron to the people who actually vote and you take away valuable space that could be used for important issues, issues where you shine. Casey Putsch SHOULD be known for his anti-immigration stance and his ambitious plans to revamp Ohio’s infrastructure. Instead, he’s known for palling around with hijabis and treating ChatGPT like an anti-Semitic magic eight-ball.
Before anyone responds with “Casey Putsch is an idiot influencer, of COURSE he was gonna lose,” I have two words: Brandon Herrera. Herrera, like Putsch, is a YouTuber. Unlike Putsch, Herrera won his primary and is almost certainly going to be elected to the House. What’s the difference? Herrera didn’t “campaign” by camping out on Twitter to stunt on them Jewish hoes. He hit the campaign trail, made friends and allies in local GOP organizations, focused his messaging on how he wanted to help his constituents and what he planned to do in office. Herrera also didn’t turn on Trump and now he has Trump’s endorsement. Learn from Brandon Herrera.
I feel confident in predicting that this is the beginning of the end for the Retard Right. Thomas Massie, James Fishback, Dan Bilzerian will all lose their primaries and the retarded anti-Zionist element will be purged from the right forever. It has no constituency, as Casey Putsch’s landslide defeat shows. Candace Owens is already talking about joining forces with the left to form some kind of Anti-Zionist Popular Front. Nick Fuentes has said that he is a “moderate Democrat.” The Retard Right are functional leftists in the process of becoming actual leftists. And the best part is that they ruined themselves by not knowing when to shut up.

We have some interesting but powerful trinkets today. Gird up thy loins.
(1) How about the top 15 discoveries make *by* AI as of 7 months ago? That’s right – things that were discovered or figured out *BY* AI.
(2) Are you ready to let a white chick with blue-black hair and green eyes show you three colors that can’t physically exist as hues of real things, but that you can trick your eyes into seeing? This actually works! They’re called “impossible colors” – and you can see them.

It’s not every month where there’s a day that’s the month squared – but today is one of those days!
Enjoy some especially alphanumerical trinkets!
(1) Have you ever wanted to understand the technology inside your credit cards? RFID vs. lines of B? Here is your chance! And it’s done by Veritasium!
(2) Everything you probably didn’t know about that great TV comedy of the 1960s, F TROOP!
(3) 8000 may not seem like a magic number, but up on the mountains, it is. Above 8000 meters, you cannot rest. You must get below that altitude to live.
(4) Note that there is now a lot of FAKE mountain disaster content, where annoying and arrogant fake people like “fitness influencers” die after they do bad things like insult their superior non-white sherpas. Very strange. 2 bad white grlz die. 2 good Nepalis live!
This video doesn’t admit to false and “synthetic” content, but I verified that this is fake, with the help of Duck AI.
(5) Body cams and WGTTs. You know this can’t end well. Let this be a reminder that one less drink and one more “Yes, sir” will get you very far in life.
OK, I have a hangover just watching that.
Have a great weekend, and act responsibly. Let me recommend the ginger ale and popcorn.

This is a typical portrait of POTUS Trump by the Fake News. I thought I would put together a more accurate portrayal on one page to show the glimpses we get are not one offs but the real man hidden behind the caricature.
H/T to patfrederick who gave me the idea for doing this.
Trump Girl @MAGA__Patriot BREAKING | USA… news channels never told you this. And today I am ashamed of every single one of them. Because they kept this truth about Trump hidden from you. Deliberately. And once you find out what they never showed you… you will question everything they ever said about this man. 2008. Ed McMahon. Johnny Carson’s legendary sidekick. 30 years of making America laugh. 86 years old. And facing the most humiliating ending imaginable. Losing his home to foreclosure. The whole world knew. Every news channel covered it. And every single one of them watched. And reported. And moved on. And nobody helped. Nobody stepped up. Nobody did anything. Except Trump. Who picked up the phone. Quietly. Without any camera invited. Without any press release. Without any announcement. He personally bought Ed McMahon’s property. And let him stay in his own home. For the rest of his life. No bill. No conditions. No expectation of anything back. Just a man who decided that an American legend should not spend his final years losing everything he worked for.
And the news channels never told you this. Not once. Because this story does not fit the Trump they wanted you to see. Today… I am telling you. Because you deserve to know the real Trump. Not the one they built for you. The real one. Who showed up for an 86 year old legend. When the whole world looked away. Drop a https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2764.svg right now if you never knew this story. Type “THIS IS THE REAL TRUMP” below. Tag every American today who deserves to know the truth that news channels never told them.

“one cannot understand the importance of preserving the future for their children, grandkids, and beyond.”
That is the reason PDJT left his posh life in Trump Tower and entered the vicious world of politics. He desperately wanted to at least try to make a difference. He would not have really been happy with himself if he sat back and did nothing while the country (as we older folks know it) went down Satan’s globalist sewer.
This was relayed to me by a friend who was dining with DJT in Trump Tower, I believe it was in the summer of 2015 shortly after he announced. This friend has first hand experience with the vicious world of politics.
Trump has shown he has a heart of gold over and over. If something touches him he will do what he can.
For example the little girl with the bone disease. [VIDEO REMOVED BY YOUTUBE Trump donated $$$ to this little girl who was featured on a TV show see Frankenstein@breitbart.combelow – GC]
The private Boeing 727 of real estate tycoon Donald Trump arrived from Los Angeles at LaGuardia Airport Tuesday morning, carrying aboard an Orthodox Jewish child with a rare and still undiagnosed breathing illness.
The child, Andrew Ten, age 3, arrived with his parents — accompanied by three nurses who attend to him around the clock — to try to seek medical help in the New York area.
Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.
“Mr. Trump did not hesitate when we called him up. He said ‘yes, I’ll send my plane out,’” 29-year-old Harold Ten recalled shortly after he landed here Tuesday morning….
So much for the anti-semite claim.
A Man Was Being Beaten to Death with a Bat, The Trump’s Limo Rolls By
…Donald Trump never sought attention for this story, but during his trip he noticed a man on the sidewalk being brutally assaulted by a “big guy” with a baseball bat. Trump noticed the victim taking “5 or 6 whacks” and knew he was about to be killed.
Without hesitation, Trump told the driver to pull the car over and he leaped out of the car. His ex-wife Marla Maples was tugging at his arm trying to stop him….
UPI reported in 1995 how Trump was credited with ‘saving’ the New York Veterans Day Parade. The parade that year was marking the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II….
Police estimated 500,000 people attended the largest military parade ever held in New York. Organizers, who placed the turnout at closer to a million, said the parade would not have been a success if it hadn’t been for real estate developer Donald Trump, who contributed $200,000 and raised another $300,000.
“Donald Trump saved the parade,” said parade director Tom Fox, himself a Vietnam veteran. “We had asked for donations from 200 corporations, and none of them came through,” he said.
“This donation is the single most important thing I’ve ever done,” said a beaming Trump. “This is more important than all of my buildings and my casinos. This is my way of saying thank you to all the men an women in the armed services who have made it possible for me to become a success. Without them freedom and liberty would be gone.”
.Organizers received no contributions from the 200 corporations they asked, among them military contractors to whom they presented documentation of profits made on weapons used in World War II.
“Zippo, dada, zilch,” Mr. Fox said. “Nothing from Northrup, United Technologies, none of them. To me, it’s a sin.”
By mid-August, organizers had a bank account of exactly $1.21….
This was not Trump’s first time supporting the New York Veterans Day Parade. In 1987 Trump gave $1 million to help the parade when it was in transition, according to a history of the parade reported by Business Insider in 2013.
And this is not the first time Trump helped the people of NYC. At the Republican National Convention,
…” Giuliani admitted he was letting out a secret about Trump at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
“Every time New York City suffered a tragedy, Donald Trump was there to help. He’s not going to like my telling you this, but he did it anonymously,” Giuliani said, calling Trump a “man with a big heart.”
“When police officers were shot, when firefighters were hurt, when people were in trouble, he came forward and he helped, and he asked not to be mentioned. Well, I am going to break my promise to him. I am going to mention it,” he added. as the crowd cheered.
“I am telling you this because I am sick and tired of the defamation of Donald Trump by the media and by the Clinton campaign,” Giuliani said in a rebuff to accusations about Trump’s charitable giving.
“This is a good man and America should be sick and tired of their vicious nasty campaign,” he said. “You deserve to know this about your next president.”
Any surprise the Democrats went all out to destroy Rudy Giuliani?
Trump INSISTED on including Jews and blacks at Palm Beach golf course in 1990s
“When Donald opened his club in Palm Beach called Mar-a-Lago, he insisted on accepting Jews and blacks even though other clubs in Palm Beach to this day discriminate against blacks and Jews. The old guard in Palm Beach was outraged that Donald would accept blacks and Jews so that’s the real Donald Trump that I know.”….
Sometimes, in judging the character of an individual, it pays to see what people actually do when nobody’s really paying attention. When it came to segregation in the South at private, all-white country clubs, it might have been in Trump’s business interests to simply look the other way. Instead, Trump did the right thing and insisted on desegregation at his golf resort.
And he won.
Members at Mar a Lago get privileges at a large handful of Trump golf courses. Mar a Lago is only 20ac and is a club not a course. Seems fact escape journalists all the time.
When Nathan posted his message to his Trump discussion thread last month, he was smothered by a wave of positive responses, each a variation on a familiar theme. “I’m also quitting booze for many reasons, Trump being one of them,” commented one user. Wrote another: “It might sound lame, but trying to be more like Donald has led to positive changes in my life.” A commenter described his own years-long drug habit, chiming in, “After reading 2 of Trump’s books I decided it’s time to quit.” And then, about two-thirds down, the prevailing leitmotif appeared:
“I just tell myself ‘it’s time to make myself great again.’”
In gargantuan, all-capital letters: “MYGA!”
MYGA, of course, stands for “Make Yourself Great Again,”

However, what caught our attention and shook us from within was the letter of Melissa Consin Young to Mr. Trump that she published on her facebook profile with pictures. It just proves that there is lot more to Miss Universe, Miss USA and even to Mr. Donald Trump than those 2-3 hurtful sentences that were spoken by him out of some serious bad mood, may be. [No doubt his calling members ofthe cartels animals that got twisted by the Fake News — GC] I am not justifying or taking his side. I am just choosing to be what God has taught us to be. I am being kind.
Have a look at what Melissa Consin Young wrote to Mr. Trump: Dear Mr. Trump,
As my body is getting weaker, I am unsettled by the fact that I have never been able to directly thank you. Because of you and your efforts, my son Jack who is Mexican-American, has a chance at a better future and a solid education. You and the Miss USA pageant played a tremendous role in my life. It was the BIGGEST honor of my life to compete on your Miss USA stage in 2005 representing the state of Wisconsin. As a little girl that grew up homeless and in extreme poverty, it was my dream come true to stand on that very stage. Winning Miss Congeniality was beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. I don’t know if I can even accurately describe to you how much it meant to me to even be there in light of the circumstances in which I grew up in. The bonds that were formed during the pageant, molded a best friendship with my sister-in-life, Chelsea Cooley Altman – who just happened to win Miss USA that year. About 3 years ago, Chelsea was in NYC and attended one of your many functions at Trump Tower, where you debuted FundAnything.com. This turned out to be a life changing event for my son and I. I am forever indebted to you. It’s been almost 7 years since my world was turned upside down while giving birth to Jack. Because of a lack of care during my pregnancy by my doctor I was stricken with an incurable disease that left me unable to physically care for my son. I fight every day with every fiber of my being to have simple, but lasting moments with him. Living in fear as a result of the horrific lack of care and negligence from my doctors and medical professionals, kept me silent, where I was too scared to share the cause of my illness with anyone.
A year and a half ago, when Chelsea found out about my disease, she immediately took it upon herself to start a scholarship fundraiser for Jack through your organization, FundAnything – so that neither he nor I would have to worry about college for him – especially since I won’t be here when he crosses that milestone in life. At the same time, since I am now uninsurable for life insurance, Chelsea was adamant I allow her to do this for Jack. Within days, the fund soared. Where by the end of the campaign, thousands of dollars were donated for the fund for my 6 year old son – a Mexican-American. I cannot tell you how incredible the outpouring of support, donations and thousands of letters from around the world have been. There came a day during the campaign, that I will never forget. I was VERY ill and out of the blue, a package showed up, hand-delivered from you. Even while traveling, you took the time to send such a wonderful message of hope and support. I was going through some very dark times and this was unbelievable that not just anyone – but Donald Trump himself – took the time to think of my son and me. I have looked up to you my entire life. The scholarship fund is more than what it entails. This ultimately gave me the gift of peace. I will not be here to walk Jack through that stage of his life. As a mother, knowing that his education is taken care of, is the most special gift anyone could ever give me. And because of your organizations – Miss USA and FundAnything.com– you have given me the greatest gifts of all – peace of mind, heart and soul. I have been writing letters to Jack so that he can read them when I am in heaven, explaining how you, your organization and the snowballing effect of support from people all around the world have forever changed our world. With this, I have explained to Jack that a great responsibility has been instilled in him to pay it forward just as you have done for us. Yours is a gift that will keep on giving.
I am forever grateful,
Melissa Ann Young-Miranda
Miss Wisconsin USA 2005
PS. You have my vote.
“At a Donald Trump campaign event in Janesville, WI, Mr. Trump took a question from 2005 Miss Wisconsin USA, Melissa Young. Young was in tears and thanked Mr. Trump for all his support and love during a time she’s been battling a devastating illness” — SUNDANCE

“The National Border Patrol Council is the official organization representing our nation’s Border Patrol Agents. We represent 16,500 agents who selflessly serve this country in an environment where our own political leaders try to keep us from doing our jobs. The NBPC has had a longstanding practice of not endorsing presidential candidates in the primaries. We will not, however, shy away from voicing our opinions as it pertains to border security and the men and women of the United States Border Patrol. As such, we are breaking with our past practice and giving our first-ever endorsement in a presidential primary. We think it is that important: if we do not secure our borders, American communities will continue to suffer at the hands of gangs, cartels and violent criminals preying on the innocent. The lives and security of the American people are at stake, and the National Border Patrol Council will not sit on the sidelines... [They certainly had that prophecy correct! — GC]
And with such a great man – like Trump – running, why even bother with a candidate under criminal investigation, like Hillary?

It happened in 1986, in the midst of the worst farm crisis since the Great Depression. In Burke County, on Georgia’s eastern border, farm after farm was folding.
On Feb. 4, Lenard Dozier Hill III, a third-generation occupant of his cotton-and-soybean acreage, was about to have his land sold out from under him. ”That morning, it was going to be auctioned off at the courthouse steps, so he committed suicide,” said Betsy Sharp, his daughter. In the bedroom of the Hill home, along with the .22-caliber rifle that did the work, was a neat stack of life insurance policies and other papers on the nightstand.
Hill had intended for the life insurance payout to cover most of his $300,000 debt and so save the family farm for another generation. It was a grievous miscalculation. Most, if not all, life insurance policies include a clause that prohibits payment in cases of suicide. “He didn’t realize all that,” Sharp said.Hill’s desperate act struck a chord.
Reporters and TV crews descended on the Waynesboro church where the funeral was held. Vandals painted “farmer killer” on the door of the local bank. Once the family realized the financial futility of Hill’s suicide, the burden of saving the farm fell on his widow, Annabel Hill, a 66-year-old teacher and social worker with gray hair and large glasses.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Money poured in, but Trump and a Texas oilman — a real one, this time — provided the last $78,000. A “mortgage-burning” ceremony was scheduled for two days before Christmas. The Hill family was again flown to New York, at Trump’s expense.
“I had just graduated from high school. He flew us to New York, and we went to Trump Towers and had breakfast with him,” said Betsy Sharp, who is now 49 and lives in Augusta.“We saw a whole different side of him that was kindhearted, to reach out to us, to help us,” the daughter said. “Most people don’t know and see that side. All they see is just the ‘blurt’ that people put on the TV. They don’t see the other side of him, and that’s what my family got to experience.”Argenbright feels likewise. “He couldn’t have been nicer. He took care of them and stayed in touch with them after that,” Argenbright said. “He had no ulterior motive.”
AND for all the idiots who think POTUS is DUMB and doesn’t know what he is doing…
Whenever I hear someone complain that Donald Trump is “not presidential,” I reply, “Compared to whom? Which president are we talking about? How ‘presidential’ was Barack Obama in 2008 when he said of the Republicans, ‘If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun’?”
And just what are the qualities that really matter in a president?
The overwhelming majority of Mr. Trump’s detractors have never sat across the table from him to hammer out a multimillion-dollar business deal. I have. So I think I’m in a better position than they are to judge his effectiveness as a top-level executive.
Because of the duty of confidentiality that I owe to my clients and to the other members of the negotiating team, I can’t give specific details on the project that was discussed at the meeting. But I can share my own impressions on what it was like to deal directly with Mr. Trump.
The first thing I noticed about Mr. Trump was that he was a stickler for detail. As a politician, he may affect a breezy platform style, but in the office, he was all business. Right off the bat, he corrected my team’s estimates of future financing requirements. He must have phoned an expert minutes before the meeting, because he said that by the latest market information he had, our current interest rates were off by 0.1%.
That was for openers. He went through every element of our proposal with a gimlet eye, challenging our assumptions, forecasts and business models with an exactitude and a level of expertise that was most impressive. It was as if he had a Wharton business professor whispering in his ear.
He wasted no time on civilities. He was brusque, impatient and dismissive of any information that he thought was inadequate, or any detail that he thought did not bear directly on the matter at hand. He cut right to the heart of things.
The senior members of my negotiating team were the products of privilege and Ivy League schools, and were highly successful executives in their own right. They were not used to this kind of treatment.
But for my own part, I had not only been an attack flight officer in the first Gulf war, I had also driven a truck through some of New York’s roughest neighborhoods. So I took it all in stride. Mr. Trump is a New Yorker, I reasoned. Fine. So am I. We can speak the same language—even if that language is rather coarse to some ears. We understand each other.
In the end, I can say that Mr. Trump drove a hard bargain. But he was honest, and he was a square dealer. When we were through—in less time than we had expected—we had reached an agreement that was ethical, profitable and fair to all parties concerned. It was also an agreement that meant good jobs for working people and healthy tax revenues for the local government.
If we didn’t come away from the table liking Mr. Trump, there’s no question that we came away with a lot of respect for him. He was a tough, shrewd, no-nonsense executive who knew how to get things done, and done quickly. He was also an adversary whom no one would want to mess with.
Isn’t that what really matters in a president?….
And from our own daughnworks247 September 30, 2019 (Worth rereading the whole article.)
…Remember the story told by Former FBI Agent Michael Moore? Back in the 90’s Moore wass hired by Steve Wynn. Trump and Wynn were in competition for …. some big deal. Wynn lost, yet 2 decades later, Moore still marveled at how Donald Trump was always one step ahead of his team. Moore couldn’t get over the strategy of Donald Trump, and realized he was a superior opponent. Does anyone thing a man like Donald Trump would suddenly change his method of preparation to accomplish goals, after 50+yrs of success? Nah, Trump is not lucky, Trump is well-prepared.
Trump is “a tough, shrewd, no-nonsense executive who knew how to get things done, and done quickly…. an adversary whom no one would want to mess with.“ But he is also a man with a heart of gold who loves his country and the American people. If the Fake News & Globalists showed Trump as he really is he would be the best loved President in my life.
Now you have a bit of ammo to refute all the psy-ops our enemies spew.
Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

Used in a sentence
Scarlet cloth, also known as écarlate, was a fine and expensive woolen textile common in Medieval Europe, often dyed with the red dye kermes. It was woven from the finest English wools and was considered a luxury item, particularly fashionable during the 14th and 15th centuries.

MUSIC!
Still stuck on scarlet and wool, amigos!
THE STUFF
Yeah, this clickbait video may have been produced by AI. Yeah, this may be kinda bogus in so many ways (let me know in the comments). AND YET – it strikes me as a needed warning that we’ve got some work to do. What do you think?
This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Hot, fresh trinkets – and 4 out of 5 are heavy on the XX! ENJOY!!!
(1) Chip Babe Anastasia is back, looking far less AI than usual. This time INTEL is getting the love!
(2) Speaking of love, the story on Robert Palmer’s video for Addicted To Love is pretty amazing. Check it out!
(3) Want to see some REAL hacking? No tense music. No babes urging on the geek. No race to get it done in under 60 seconds before the alarms go off and the security guards with machine guns burst into the room.
Just some dude who knows programming, ordering a cheap Chinese router on Temu, and abusing it, as it was surely designed to be abused.
(4) This is absolutely hilarious! A massive victory for free speech, thanks to a mellow black stoner in Ohio. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! Brett Cooper (yes, Brett the girl) tells the story.
