President Trump’s CPAC Speech Was A Masterstroke Of Political Genius

by | Feb 27, 2024 | Aggregate

President Trump was in vintage form on Saturday, where he first delivered the one-two punch between a Homeric speech, in which he deviated from his prepared remarks and instead chose to amuse the packed room with a series of ad-libbed stories from his first term.  Then, just a few hours later, he barnstormed to South Carolina and declared victory in what seemed like just minutes after his arrival and only hours after his highly entertaining peroration in National Harbor.  

Although the President continues to deal with the crippling effects of a justice system animated by the same communist ideologies that cannibalized the Soviet Union and so many Socialist banana republics to our south in the decades past, his remarks typified true statesmanship in being at one and the same time reasonable, and marinated in common sense.  The President’s hour-and-a-half-long speech not only amused the room but reminded everyone of how special it is to witness a single man so adept in both politics and entertainment – almost like a two-sport athlete, at the top of his game in both leagues.

But the occasion also struck a temperate chord – a warning that, really, not just America but the world’s fate hinges on the outcome of the coming election because President Trump alone seems to be the only leader capable (based on the chaos of the world situation since he departed office) of introducing peace and stability into a global order that has devolved into chaos.  Where Trump goes, so goes the world.

The speech also exposed the President’s skills as a master negotiator.  Someone who can confidently reassure anxious onlookers, nervous about the ultimate fate of America, that our country’s best days may still be in front of it.  But it will require the diligent work of a competent captain to steward this ship out of treacherous waters into more stable currents. 

President Trump’s unwavering conviction – in this country and in himself – even in the face of unprecedented political persecution carried out by a vengeful regime that represents itself so pitifully on the world stage with the enfeebled occupant of the Oval Office, is testimony to his unbreakable spirit.  More broadly, the President’s endurance reflects the human spirit in general and that hallowed tradition of larger-than-life statesmen that nature somehow produces generation after generation, especially during times of apparently all-consuming darkness, to course-correct just in the nick of time.

What was once CPAC has been dissimulated, by none other than the presidential frontrunner himself, into the elemental ingredients of conservatism, that ideology behind the event’s namesake, which the President summarized in two simple words: common sense.  

So many of America’s problems can be resolved by basic common sense, so disarmingly straightforward in theory, but which too frequently succumbs to the distractions and rank incompetence of the present age.  The idea that America should have a border to preserve and protect its native-born population would not have been controversial in any other age.  Nor the idea that America should invest in its own people and infrastructure and not let the rest of the world – which gets more competitive by the day with the rise of China and India, and even whole continents like Africa and South America – run roughshod over the advantages that once made America stand out by leaps and bounds over the rest.  

Nor should the idea that men and women are complementary, albeit naturally different, and no amount of scientific alchemizing will change that.  Nor that Americans should have autonomy over their own medical decisions, and least of all have assurances by the state to protect their basic right to privacy.  Nor that speaking these basic truths should not be met with the heavy hand of the state, or the legal system, or its apparatchiks in legacy media institutions and Big Tech, which censors dissident voices with scandalous indifference for the foundational principles hardwired by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence to check the size and scope of government, and stave off the blight of tyranny. 

In the most general of terms, these were the themes President Trump touched on in his sprawling oration, which are broadly the same themes that define this coming presidential election.  The mantra that “they are really after you, I’m just standing in the way” was encapsulated by the gravity of the president’s remarks and the sobriety with which he delivered them – speaking of such things as “Stalinist show trials” that are still ongoing in places like New York, Washington, DC, and Georgia, that are uncannily similar to the recent persecution of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.  

The President further talked about how the Biden regime, which repeatedly sells itself as the “defender of democracy,” is really anything but: with its unfailing reliance on patently antidemocratic institutions and mechanisms, such as the justice system and unelected bureaucrats, to expel its chief political opponent from national politics, over and above reliance on the democratic ones – the election process, itself contaminated by those same forces that would completely usurp the will of the people if they had it their way.

The climax of the President’s speech was arguably when he declared himself a “political dissent” – a witheringly poignant line that resonated in a room teeming with political dissidents.  The words “President of the United States” adorned the back wall, offering a reminder of the trials this country has endured over the past four years with the fraudulent 2020 election.  The illegitimacy of that race unleashed this “long national nightmare” – to invoke a phrase from yesteryear – upon not only the 45th President but his supporters and anyone who dares stand for the traditional values that once made America great. 

So too did the presidential backdrop stand as a warning for what is to come, not just the hurdles of the next ten or so months but of all the work needed to stop the bleeding and undo the tremendous damage exacted upon America’s economy, its cultural identity, and its national spirit by the regnant political order.

The President’s indomitable spirit, which is not only contained in his optimistic rhetoric – but on the ground as well through his landslide victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and, this evening, Michigan – reminds us that the torch of American liberty has not yet gone out – and a national renewal is still possible.  This, so long as we keep alive the momentum of this movement, captured in sentiment by President Trump at CPAC: American greatness that lives in the memories of our forefathers who fought generation after generation to preserve the American dream, that last beacon of hope.  

Those words are truer than ever, and CPAC was the latest occasion by which the principle that America’s and President Trump’s destiny are inexorably linked was again reaffirmed.

Nathan Wade Divorce Attorney SWEATS BULLETS on the Witness Stand as Lawyers Grill Him About When Fani Willis’ Relationship with Wade Began (VIDEO)

by | Feb 27, 2024 | Aggregate

Nathan Wade’s former law partner and divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley was back on the stand on Tuesday after Judge McAfee said he is not protected by attorney-client privilege.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis “financially benefited” from a romantic relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

Earlier this month Fani Willis and Nathan Wade both got subpoenaed to testify at an evidentiary hearing thanks to a lawsuit filed by Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman.

Judge Scott McAfee previously said Fani Willis may be disqualified from Trump’s RICO case over her improper relationship with top Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade.

A couple of weeks ago Trump’s RICO co-defendant Michael Roman filed an explosive supplemental reply to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and accused her of lying to the court about her affair with the top Trump prosecutor she appointed.

Nathan Wade’s divorce lawyer Terrence Bradley earlier this month was called to the stand and tried to invoke attorney-client privilege during an evidentiary hearing on misconduct, however, he could not recall when he became Wade’s lawyer.

Judge McAfee ultimately determined Bradley’s communications with Nathan Wade were not protected under attorney-client privilege.

Bradley sweat bullets on the witness stand as he was grilled about Nathan Wade’s romantic relationship with Fani Willis.

Bradley would not reveal exactly when Nathan Wade told him he was dating Fani Willis.

Recall that Bradley previously suggested he had knowledge that the Fani-Wade love affair began before 2022. Now all of a sudden he can’t recall anything.

Interesting.

“I recall him stating that at some point they were dating. I can’t tell you what date that was,” Bradley said asserting his conversation with Wade was in confidence.

Terrence Bradley claimed he was “speculating” about when Wade’s relationship with Fani Willis began.

Trump lawyer Steve Sadow asked Bradley about previous text messages he sent where he believed Wade’s relationship with Willis began before 2022.

“That’s speculation on my part,” Bradley said.

Sadow replied, “Why in the heck would you speculate in this text message?”

Nathan Wade and Fani Willis both lied about when their relationship began.

Wade lied to the court in a civil proceeding about his divorce, provided false statements in a brief submitted and signed by Fani Willis AND lied on the witness stand.

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, authorities geo-tracked Nathan Wade and found that Nathan Wade made at least 35 visits to Fani’s Hapeville neighborhood before he was hired as the lead prosecutor in the lawfare RICO case against President Trump and 18 Trump associates.

“Nathan Wade appeared to make at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Fani Willis was living before the district attorney hired him to lead Fulton County’s election interference prosecution, according to cellphone data included in a court submission filed Friday.” – The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

According to cell phone data, Wade visited the “Yeartie condo” where Willis was residing before he was hired in November 2021.

“Trump’s lawyers relied on data collected from Wade’s cellphone and cellphone tower transmissions to track his movements. It seems to contradict Wade’s testimony last week in which he said he had visited Willis at her condo in Hapeville no more than 10 times before he was hired in November 2021. It also indicates Wade twice arrived late at night at the condo and left early the next morning in the months before Willis and Wade said their relationship became romantic early in 2022.” The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Special Prosecutor Webb Refutes Jussie Smollett’s Appeal to Illinois Supreme Court, Says Disgraced Actor Did NOT Have a Non-Prosecution Agreement With Chicago DA

by | Feb 27, 2024 | Aggregate

Way back in January 2019, TV actor Jussie Smollett became entangled in a web of lies in his detestable hoax in which he pretended to have been racially targeted and assaulted.

In a very long-lasting Cook County judicial process, Smollett ended up charged and convicted (in 2021) of five counts of disorderly conduct – and his conviction was later confirmed by an Illinois appellate court.

But the story is not over because the disgraced actor is taking his fight to the Illinois Supreme Court.

Prosecutor Dan Webb has responded to Smollett’s appeal, and of course it got leaked to the media.

TMZ reported:

“Jussie Smollett doesn’t understand the law, and he’s barking up the wrong tree with the Illinois Supreme Court… at least that’s how the special prosecutor views the actor’s appeal.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb — who convicted Jussie for lying to cops about the hate crime hoax — is responding to Jussie’s motion to have the IL Supreme Court review his case and overturn the conviction … and says JS’s claim he had an agreement in place to avoid prosecution simply doesn’t hold water.”

Jussie Smollett claims he had an (unsigned) deal with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, in which he would do volunteer community service and forfeit his bond – and in return, prosecutors would drop the charges.

“However, Webb says that ‘agreement’ was ‘imaginary’ on Smollett’s part, and it did not insulate him from facing charges at a later date. Webb also shoots down Jussie’s claim he’s a victim of double jeopardy — pointing out the legal term doesn’t apply in this case.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, the special prosecutor says protection from double jeopardy is ‘triggered only after the accused has been subjected to the hazards of trial and possible conviction’.”

The initial charges were dropped before there was any jury impaneled, any witnesses sworn in, or any evidence produced.

“Special prosecutor Webb’s overall point… Jussie’s case isn’t worthy of an IL Supreme Court review. Webb would like to see the high court reject his bid for appeal, opening the door for Jussie to complete his 150-day sentence … of which he’s only served 6, so far.”

The actor works to exhaust all his appeal options after a jury in 2021 convicted him on five of six counts of disorderly conduct.

His sentence was 150 days in jail, 30 months of probation, and $130,160 in restitution.

AOL reported:

“Smollett’s attorneys filed the petition to the high court […] arguing that the questions raised by the case have the ‘potential for wide-reaching implications’ across Illinois. The court has the discretion to decide whether to take the case, or leave the appellate court’s decision in effect.

[…] Smollett’s petition to the Supreme Court argues that the lower court’s opinion ‘threatens to upend all informal and formal deferred prosecution agreements’.

‘What should have been a straightforward case has been complicated by the intersection of politics and public outrage’, the petition says.”
