Guest post by Nevada US Senate Candidate Dr. Jeffrey Gunter, MD:
In politics, like in business, people are the most important currency. And in the case of Donald Trump, it’s his own family who is proving to be one of his greatest political assets.
While Hunter Biden has proved to be nothing more than a perpetual headache for team Biden by being the source of drama, illegality, debauchery, foreign corruption, and lies — Donald Trump Jr, on the other hand, has consistently been a vital voice for not just his father’s historic political rise, but for the MAGA base more broadly.
And it’s been on full display in recent months, with the eldest Trump son coming out strongly against the prospect of a Nikki Haley VP slot.
He’s made it clear over and over again that he would do everything to stop such a swampy pick from being forced onto the ticket. And he’s right.
This is the time to stand up for the MAGA movement. It’s not the time to surrender to the swamp.
In short, Donald Trump Jr. understands the America First base as well as anyone.
He’s been a leading voice against woke DEI madness.
He’s been leading the way on the parallel economy with businesses like PublicSquare.
And he’s doing the work on the ground and on the airwaves in key battleground states to get the message out and motivate voters.
It would have been easy for Donald Trump Jr. to just sit on the sidelines and enjoy his success in real estate.
After all, Democrats dragged him through hours upon hours of testimony in the Russia Hoax and other sham investigations.
It would have been easy to just move on from it all. But he’s shown himself to be as authentic of an America First warrior as anyone.
While Hunter Biden gets treated with kid gloves like he’s just some harmless, trouble-making kid, Don Jr. had to ensure lies, smears, and abuse all over nothing.
But he’s stayed in the fight. And is one of the most important voices for his father, the America First movement, and for hard-working families all across the country.
It’s why the courage of Donald Trump and his family inspires me more and more every day.
It’s what inspired me to run for U.S. Senate in Nevada. Because the status quo is not an option.
And it’s why I endorsed President Trump’s 2024 campaign the moment he announced.
As President Trump’s Ambassador to Iceland, I saw firsthand what President Trump’s leadership did to ensure safety and security across the globe.
And now, we see what the weakness of Joe Biden is doing to allow evil from our most brutal adversaries into our great nation.
This election is about saving America, plain and simple.
It’s about doing what’s right in the moment that matters most.
America’s sovereignty is at stake. The integrity of our whole justice system is at stake, and the well-being of America’s working families is at stake more than ever.
So let’s make sure that with all of Donald Trump’s momentum, we put authentic and electable America First fighters on the ballot this November, so President Trump has all the backup he needs to deliver victory after victory starting on Day One.

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency is keeping a weather eye on the cyber horizon, in search of Russian insiders to recruit.
The CIA, or simply the Agency, has released a new Russian-language video to try to persuade Russian intelligence employees to work as moles – or double agents – for Washington.
Back in July, CIA Director William Burns said that ‘disaffection among some Russians over the war in Ukraine was creating a rare opportunity to recruit spies’, and that the Agency was taking full advantage of it.
In the new video, released on the CIA’s official social media channels, the spooks try to reach ‘patriotic Russians’ working inside Russian intel agencies, people who they believe feel betrayed by ‘widespread corruption in elite circles’.
Reuters reported:
“‘Those around you may not want to hear the truth. But we do. You are not powerless’, says the video, the latest in a series of recruitment videos targeting Russia, before detailing ways to contact the CIA.”
In the effort to recruit the viewers, the Agency resorts to using fiction – maybe because in movies and series the agents are ‘knights in shining armor’ defending freedom, and not mere recruits from ‘the Farm’.
Melancholy classical music plays as a 35-year-old male employee of Russia’s military intelligence agency reflects on the situation.
He believes himself to be ‘a patriot who loves Russia’ and once served as a paratrooper.
“‘Do I have enough courage to confront this betrayal?’ the video shows him saying, before he says he has realised the real enemy is inside Russia in the form of a corrupt leadership and elite.
‘The top leadership has sold the country out for palaces and yachts at a time when our soldiers are chewing rotten potatoes and firing from prehistoric weapons. Our people are forced to give bribes to simply find work’, the man says as video clips of a bleak Russian winter are spliced with images of official limousines and wealthy Russians giving toasts.”
The video’s final shot shows a well-dressed man contacting the CIA by mobile phone from a snowy courtyard.
“A CIA official said on condition of anonymity: ‘We are seeing more outreach from Russians as a result of these videos’. Reuters could not independently confirm that statement.”
While it is indeed true that western intel services have increased espionage efforts inside Russia, on the other hand these somewhat clumsy video efforts may attract ‘dangles’ – agents specialized in pretending to want to defect in order to extract intel from their would-be recruiters.
The Kremlin in fact seems unfazed by the new video.
“‘You know, this practice is quite common, intelligence agencies around the world very often use the media and social networks to recruit new employees. And they do it all the time, the CIA does it every year’, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.”
The CIA posted the video on Facebook, on X, and on Telegram.

As Larry Johnson wrote earlier – The numbers from the New Hampshire primary tell the story.
With 84% of the votes counted, Trump is on track to rack up 174,000 votes. That is almost 45,000 more then he garnered in 2020, when he was still President. As I predicted, Nikki Haley received a slew of votes from Democrats who crossed over intent on embarrassing Trump. That’s a big fail. A vast majority of Republicans and Independents cannot stomach Haley. Much of the mainstream media is pushing the meme that Trump is more unpopular. Nope. Just the opposite. At least in New Hampshire, Trump is more popular now than in 2020 or 2016.
Oh… And 70% of Nikki Haley voters were not Republicans – they were crossovers who voted in the Republican primary to hurt Donald Trump.
Breitbart.com reported:
Of Haley voters in the Granite State, CNN said, “about 7 in 10 said they were registered as undeclared prior to Tuesday.”
CNN relied on an exit poll to make its shocking statement. New Hampshire’s loose requirements allow for voters to cross over, while future Republican caucuses and primaries will consist overwhelmingly of registered Republicans.
Trump crushed Haley in the New Hampshire primary by double digits with results still outstanding. The Associated Press called the New Hampshire results within three minutes.
In Iowa, where Trump won by a historic thirty percent, it took the Associated Press 31 minutes to call the race.
CNN also found similar results in New Hampshire as in Iowa – 8 in 10 New Hampshire Republican voters believe Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.
7 in 10 Republican voters in Iowa believe Joe Biden is illegitmate. Exit polling found this number was at 62%.
All the lies and spin by the mainstream media and threats by the regime cannot make people believe the impossible.
CNN reported:
Roughly 7 in 10 of the New Hampshire voters backing Trump said they were registered as Republicans. And about 8 in 10 of Trump’s voters denied the legitimacy of President Joe Biden’s election win in 2020, highlighting the election denialism that remains widespread among his supporters. There is no evidence of widespread election fraud in 2020. Haley’s backers present a near mirror image: about 7 in 10 said they were registered as undeclared prior to Tuesday, and the vast majority acknowledged the results of the 2020 election.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said Tuesday that she will fight on even if she loses in the New Hampshire primary to former President Donald Trump.
Further, Haley’s campaign manager Betsy Ankney argued in a memo first reported on by The New York Times that she has a clear path forward, even if New Hampshire does not go her way.
Ankney wrote, “take a deep breath” because “we aren’t going anywhere.”
Meanwhile, conservative pollster Richard Baris posted on X, “The [Nikki Haley] campaign has now entered delusion and denial phase, where [Ron DeSantis] was right before and after Iowa.”
“Almost all losing campaigns go through it,” he continued. “Back on Planet Earth, New Hampshire is her best state demographically, with doomsday after in her own state.”

Ankney refuted the notion that New Hampshire is, “the best it’s going to get” for Haley, because of its semi-open primary, which allows undeclared voters, who may even normally vote Democrat, to cast ballots in the Republican primary.
WMUR-TV reported as of Dec. 28, “There were 343,192 voters registered as undeclared, with 262,262 registered Democrats and 267,905 registered Republicans.”
“Undeclared voters may still vote in the presidential primary by choosing a party ballot when arriving at the polls. Once a ballot is chosen, the voter will become a registered member of that party, but may return to undeclared status before leaving the polls,” the news outlet explained.
Ankney contended that there are other states with similar open primaries to New Hampshire going up to Super Tuesday on March 5.
“The reality is that the path through Super Tuesday includes more states than not that have this dynamic,” she wrote.
The next primary is in Haley’s home state of South Carolina, “which has no party registration, and anyone can vote in the Republican primary if they have not already voted in the Democratic primary,” Ankley wrote.
Then she pointed out that 11 of the 16 states up for grabs on Super Tuesday have “open or semi-open primaries,” including Virginia, Texas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina and Vermont, “all with favorable demographics.”
Ankley said that after Super Tuesday, “We will have a very good picture of where this race stands.”
One responded on X to the memo writing, “Am I reading this correctly, that the fact the primaries aren’t Republican-only is the advantage? Talk about saying the quiet part out loud …”
Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt asked Haley on Tuesday, “Do you get out if you lose today?”
“No, I don’t get out if I lose today,” Haley said. “Again, I’m going to say this, we’ve had 56,000 people [in Iowa] vote for Donald Trump, and you’re going to say that’s what the country wants? That’s not what the country wants.”
The Times reported that Haley has scheduled fundraisers in California, Florida, New York, and Texas in the coming weeks and has already booked a $4 million television ad buy in South Carolina.
The FiveThirtyEight daily tracking poll shows Trump leading Haley in South Carolina by approximately 62.2 percent to 25 percent.
Nationally, Trump polls 67.7 percent to Haley’s 12.4 percent.
Trump’s support has increased since Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis exited the race on Sunday.

Firefighters usually go into homes to save people, but firefighters at the Clarksville Fire Department in Tennessee saved a Bible from a blaze.
WSMV reported that the Clarksville Fire Department put out a fire at a home in Clarksville, Tennessee, that stemmed from a fireplace.
The homeowner of the house, Mike Smith, along with his wife, was able to escape the blaze before firefighters arrived, but as firefighters arrived at the scene, Smith made a special request for the responders.
Smith asked the firefighters to save his wife’s Bible left in the home, and the firefighters were able to retrieve the Bible from the blaze successfully.
Smith shared, “She had to have that. Because we depend on the Lord to get us through every day.”

Per WSMV:
A Clarksville family is without a home after a fire destroyed it over the weekend.
On Monday, Mike Smith surveyed what’s left of his home with the Clarksville Fire Department, thanking them for their quick actions.
”It’s nice to know that we have those kinds of people that are taking care of us, and I’ll be indebted to them for a long time,” Smith said.
When Smith and his wife rushed out of their burning home on Saturday morning, he asked firefighters to get one thing for his wife. Her Bible.
After losing his home, Smith said the Bible will keep his family “moving forward.”
