Thanks for bringing this MSM story about Ron DeSantis’ eating habits to my attention, Trumpers!
And Ron’s plans to cut government spending are awful!

I have been serving up on the 2024 topic in small doses. But I am watching how this is being played out and so will add more over this weekend.
Here’s one from yesterday.

It is possible the Conservatives do not want to win in 2024. Trump and his team are saving their most vicious attacks for DeSantis who has not yet announced his candidacy. While the DeSantis team has been fairly low key, the Trump side has been going after DeSantis as if he is a horrid Dem not someone from their own side. Is that the way to campaign for the main goal – winning in 2024?
If Trump is as popular as the polls say, why is the Trump team bothered by DeSantis? They could just shrug their shoulders. Trump will sweep up the primaries and win the nomination by a wide margin. DeSantis will be humiliated by losing badly.
Here are a few comments that have been posted:
So what is the point of the Trump team going out of their way to anger not just the DeSantis team and supporters but fair-minded Conservative voters? There will also be many undecided voters out there….
Not everyone likes ugly street brawlers; especially if they are being nasty to their own side.

The Trump supporters go on about DeSantis being a RINO and getting his donations from RINOs and how bad those RINOs are.
So let’s check out this Rinoism.
We are told that evil DeSantis is a Rino. That must mean he gets along well with Dems. He supports them (like Crist, Abrams, Harris and Newsom) over the GOP candidates.
Is there a definition for a RINO?

While Trump, DeSantis, and others may do battle in 2024, the facts don’t change that US hegemony will increasingly be eroded, and nations will continue to explore trading outside of the US dollar.
There are many good guys that don’t accept this, but their arguments are hopeless.

In Trump’s favour, he knew that the hegemon was coming to an end hence his UN speech on the benefits of a multipolar world. His view was that America should cease being the world’s policeman and that America had no reason to maintain 130+ military bases around the world. America was secure within its borders, it just needed to stop foreign entanglements and bring its troops home.
This was his recipe to “Make America Great Again”, just focus on America’s internal needs and stop meddling elsewhere.
It’s a simple recipe, unfortunately deep forces in America didn’t like it.

Back to my topic for this week.
The difference between the way the Conservatives and the Dems operate.
Trump is busy telling everyone how wonderful he is, how 2020 was stolen and throwing missiles at DeSantis. Dems are probably going through electoral rolls looking for dead people.As well as buying up radio stations.
While MAGA cried stolen elections, Soros was buying up the conservative Hispanic radio stations. Dems thinking ahead to the next polls. Conservatives focussed on the past or in-fighting.

2020 election: Trump was in the White House. But couldn’t stop the election fraud.
2024: Dems are in the White House. Think there will be no fraud?
Conservative media are running polls showing how Trump is leading DeSantis, leading Biden, leading everybody.
Just like the 2019-2020 polls. And we know how that worked out.
The Dems want Trump to win the primaries. They have a plan to “win”.
Before the election, Biden will be sent to the basement. And he will win with 100 million votes.
But Trump’s priority is …………bashing up DeSantis.

DeSantis is an evil Rino because he gets donations from Rinos.
But Donald Trump is true MAGA. He is a billionaire with his own plane but still puts out his hat for donations.
Conservatives all over the US have united to make the Bud Light boycott hurt not just this company but also be a warning to any others planning to go the same route. True conservatives would support this campaign against Bud Light. In fact, many of them are pushing back hard and urging the ban to continue.
But, here’s advice from a “conservative”.
Donald Trump Jr. Urges Right-Wingers to End Boycott
of ‘Conservative-Leaning’ Bud Light
Don Trump Jr is happy to erase women and pretend that women are not being harmed by trannies because Anheuser-Busch donates more to Republicans than Democrats.
Yes, Forever Trumpers, DeSantis is bad because he gets donations from “Rinos”. But donations from a company that supports woke agendas that hurt children, women and conservatives is okay.
MAGA. Standing for conservative values.

Is this called Free Speech? Just disrupt something like a book-signing because the author does not support your hero? What would happen if DeSantis supporters decided to derail a Trump book-signing? Would that also be Free Speech?

Peace and security? There are countries in our region who complain about US NGOs and such like who are meddling in their internal affairs.
The US State Department tries to gain influence by threatening the region and causing strife and chaos like a Mafia gangster, perhaps if they approached these countries with a genuine desire to help rather than threats, meddling and woke lectures they might gain influence.
“Right of navigation exercise” is what it’s called, the right to sail your warships through some other country’s military exclusion zone. All countries have economic and territorial zones around their coastal borders, and there’s also an internationally recognised military exclusion zone. The military exclusion rules apply to ships of war only, merchant shipping is free to come and go, but foreign navies are expected to seek permission before entering another country’s military exclusion zone.
These are what is known as the internationally recognised rules of the sea, but these have been put aside recently and we’re now entering a new era where a “rules based order” has come into effect, no one has seen these new rules or knows of their author.
Most nations recognise that there is a single nation called China, and that the island of Taiwan is a province of that one nation. Even Taiwan recognises that it is part of the singular nation called China, as do all the western nations.
The Taiwan Strait falls within the military exclusion zone for China and accordingly no nation should send their warships there without requesting approval from China. These “rights of navigation” exercises are outside the rules of the sea and are just an unnecessary provocation.
China doesn’t sail its warships through the Bass Strait nor the Torres Strait as that would breach our military exclusion zone, but we’ll follow America and find a seaworthy ship somewhere and join America in these provocations.
Do you remember a few years ago while Morrison, the minister for everything as well as being the Prime Minister, was sitting in the big chair. A Chinese warship totally unexpectedly and without any approval was discovered sailing down Sydney Harbour. The Harbour Master was on the phone to everyone in Canberra to ask why he wasn’t told about this visiting ship?
No one was told, the ship just sailed into Sydney Harbour. If someone asked the captain of the ship why he was in Sydney Harbour, he’d probably just shrug and say “right of navigation exercise”.
Provocation just leads to more provocation, I’m not sure this is a wise path to follow.

That is an excellent animation video. The content, the presentation and the editing. He’s covered all the necessary points in under a half hour.
