The Stop-Trump fever that gripped the Republican establishment for months has broken

The walls are closing in around a shrinking band of hard-core opponents of the New York billionaire, who is tightening his grip on the Republican presidential nomination with big wins in state after state, congressional endorsements, and the acknowledgment from pillars of the GOP elite that Donald Trump will be the party’s standard-bearer.

There was grizzled RNC committeeman Ron Kaufman likening Trump to Reagan. There was Indiana Gov. Mike Pence’s half-hearted endorsement of Ted Cruz. There was former House Speaker John Boehner’s confession that he and Trump are texting buddies and golfing partners. There’s the slew of endorsements (and a prediction by Trump campaign officials that another wave is coming after Indiana votes next week). It’s adding up to a slow but steady coalescing around the man once considered so vile to the GOP base that he’d rip the party to shreds.

“We’ve had enough intraparty fighting. Now’s the time to stitch together a winning coalition,” said Jon Huntsman, the former governor of Utah. “And it’s been clear almost from the beginning that Donald Trump has the ability to assemble a nontraditional bloc of supporters. … The ability to cut across traditional party boundaries — like ’80, ’92 and 2008 — will be key, and Trump is much better positioned to achieve that.”

Huntsman isn’t alone. He’s the latest in a long list of party stalwarts and defenders of the GOP establishment that have accepted Trump as the best remaining option in the field — and are encouraging Trump’s opponents to wind down.

“Clearly, Trump has seized momentum in a huge way,” said Kaufman, a close ally of Mitt Romney who supported Jeb Bush’s candidacy this year. “As he goes through the process here in Indiana, it appears more and more likely that Trump will be able to have 1,237 [delegates] before we descend on Cleveland.” “That’s enough to claim the nomination.”

“There’s a chance here that in the end, our presumptive nominee will be known before the Democrats,” he continued. “Who would have thought that?”

Now, it looks like it’s the opposition — not Trump — who is dividing the GOP.

“We are not doing anything in the interest of party unity,” said Katie Packer, founder of the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC, which put out a blistering anti-Trump ad Friday afternoon. “We do not think there is anything noble about wrapping our arms around a candidate who isn’t a Republican, doesn’t have a serious policy agenda and has not secured a majority of Republican votes.”

“I’m willing to do anything in my power to stop Trump from hijacking our party,” Packer continued.

But pro-Cruz and anti-Trump forces are running out of options to prevent Trump from becoming the nominee. If the real estate developer and reality television star scores a big win in Indiana on Tuesday, Cruz’s only remaining strategy may be a hostile takeover of the Republican National Convention — a move GOP insiders still see as possible but certainly one that could severely damage the party.

Trump’s growing list of elected allies are encouraging Cruz to discard any such thinking.

“It’d hurt the very party that they want to represent,” Rep. Lou Barletta (R-Pa.) told POLITICO on Friday. “That’s not good and that’s why I believe that the establishment and people in Washington should say this is over. Donald Trump is clearly, clearly who the people want.”

Manafort Predicts Donald Trump Will Win The Nomination On The First Ballot:

Trump’s top adviser, Paul Manafort, is doing more than appealing for unity. He and his team are now making the case to lawmakers that Trump will seal the nomination before the national convention with a combination of bound delegates and roughly 40 unbound delegates from Pennsylvania who they consider solid Trump supporters, according to two Capitol Hill allies of Trump.

Even before Trump’s six straight primary blowouts in the past two weeks, Manafort told lawmakers at an April 14 meeting that the front-runner would win on the first ballot. Manafort based that case on projections that Trump has since exceeded, including a projected 85 bound delegates in New York, where the businessman ended up winning 89 delegates, according to a Republican aide.

Even if Trump crosses the threshold to earn 1,237 bound delegates at the convention, Cruz may not be out of options. The Texas senator has been crushing Trump in the shadow fight for loyal convention delegates — delegates who could be free to vote their preference on a second ballot. It’s conceivable that a majority of the delegates at the convention in Cleveland will oppose Trump’s nomination, even if they’re bound to vote for him. In that scenario, that majority could unseat scores of Trump delegates, rewrite convention rules to eliminate any binding requirements and make it less likely — if not impossible — for Trump to claim the nomination.

Cruz campaign officials have offered no hints as to whether they’d consider those options, or even make an attempt that could be cast as a coup. Party elders say they expect no radical gambits that would undermine the results of the primaries and caucuses.

Anti-Trump forces have not signaled whether their opposition will extend to the convention yet, especially if Trump clinches the delegates needed on a first ballot before the GOP descends on Cleveland. The conservative Club for Growth said in a statement that it expects to defeat Trump in Indiana and again in California, denying him the delegates to win the nomination outright. Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts, whose family of wealth GOP donors has spearheaded the anti-Trump movement, is also poised to endorse Cruz.

An attempted convention takeover, however, would require Cruz’s team to assume that all of the delegates who have pledged loyalty to the Texan remain loyal in the face of massive backlash from party leaders. Indeed, even Cruz’s team knows that some of their delegates signed on simply to oppose Trump, not out of any deep attachment to Cruz.

“I think Cruz is counting on a lot of the people who have said that they’re going to support him. But a lot of those same people are coming around and are going to be — they’re going to be transitioning to Trump delegates,” said Corey Stewart, Trump’s Virginia campaign director. “They want to support a winner. These are very smart people and politically savvy people. … They’re coming around.”

If Cruz were to pursue a convention takeover anyway, there’s a roadmap waiting for him.

North Dakota GOP committeeman Curly Haugland has been agitating for years that delegates may not be forced to vote against their conscience under the party’s current rules. Though a provision requires the secretary of the convention — a position appointed by the delegates — to record votes based on the party’s binding rules, a separate, conflicting provision lays out an entirely different vote-counting process in which delegates may cast a ballot for any candidate they choose — and do it secretly. Haugland argues that the latter rule supersedes the former because it is included in a section of the rules specifically meant to control the 2016 convention.

Haugland, who will be on this year’s convention rules committee, said he intends to propose language to eliminate the binding language to govern future conventions. His critics generally dismiss his proposals as politically unpalatable moves that would disenfranchise primary and caucus voters, but this year, the fervor among anti-Trump forces for a contested convention could lend his ideas currency.

One advocate of the stop-Trump-at-all-costs approach is Stuart Stevens, a former senior adviser to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney. Stevens said he’s witnessed the slow acquiescence to Trump by party insiders, but he says he’ll never play along. He said that even if Trump reaches 1,237 bound delegates before the convention, Cruz should use his delegate advantage to block him anyway.

“You should do anything you can that’s within — anything you can legally — to try to win an election,” he said. “The Republican Party prided itself on opposing the Communist party and it would be a laughable irony if they fell into the Communist Party line and were supposed to ‘do what’s good for the party.’ Brezhnev would be chuckling somewhere.”

“I’m for fighting all the way,” he added. source

THERE WILL BE WAR: On Saturday June 14th The Radical Left Launches The ‘No Kings Nationwide Day Of Mass Defiance’ Across America, Be Ready

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism and depose Donald Trump

As we’ve been telling you all week, war is about to return to the streets of America as it did 5 years ago in the greatest summer of violence and destruction our nation has ever seen. The Left is calling it a ‘nationwide day of defiance’ and they are mobilized and ready to attack this Saturday, June 14th in hundreds of locations across the country. Are you ready for the ‘No Kings’ mass casualty event? You better be because it’s coming, and that’s the memo.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJB)

I am writing this article to you from an undisclosed location as our family is taking some much-needed vacation, but I brought the laptop ‘just in case’ and I’m glad I did. I didn’t have time to research where the funding for the ‘No Kings’ event is coming from, but if I had to guess it would highly likely be coming through a George Soros proxy group because it usually always does. The verbiage below is taken directly from the ‘No Kings’ site, and I’d advise you to believe them. Welcome to Day 1,913 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, and the summer of bloodshed, destruction and violence just like 2020.

On June 14th we rise up, No Kings!

They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings. June 14—Flag Day—President Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance. From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we’re taking action to reject authoritarianism—and show the world what democracy really looks like.

We’re not gathering to feed his ego. We’re building a movement that leaves him behind.

The flag doesn’t belong to President Trump. It belongs to us. We’re not watching history happen. We’re making it.

On June 14th, we’re showing up everywhere he isn’t—to say no thrones, no crowns, no kings. READ MORE

No Kings Nationwide Day Of Defiance June 14th

Just so you know, the No Kings event will take place in every major city across America.

Los Angeles ICE Riots Are The Latest Installment Of Ongoing Psyop That Began With George Floyd And Just May End With An American Police State

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

President Donald Trump warned there will be ‘troops everywhere’ when asked if he will take more action if the LA protests continue to rage – amid fears that martial law may be declared.

Sometimes when you look out over the landscape of all these events taking place in America, it can be pretty tough to discern who the bad guys and the good guys are, take the chaotic events from over the weekend. Did we watch President Trump sending in troops to quell violence, or did we see an overuse of military force in order to further stoke tensions? Are we watching a government who has our backs, or is it a government working with Palantir to create a surveillance state? That’s the memo.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.” Matthew 24:7 (KJB)

If you were to ask me what side I am on, I would respond by saying neither. Here on Day 1,911 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve, I am here as a reporter bringing you news from both sides and running it through the filter of my King James Bible. Remember what I told you last year about the election? I told you that voting for Kamala Harris would give you a ‘different ride’ than voting for Donald Trump, but in the end, either choice takes you to the same destination. That is more true now, 132 days into the second Trump administration, than it was when I said it before the election took place last November. The riots and mayhem that sprung up around the killing of George Floyd took place during the first Trump administration, and here in the second, it would seem that the riots and violence have returned. Coincidence or pattern? You tell me. I don’t see one side or the other, I see both sides being controlled by the same shadowy forces in order to bring about civil war and ultimately a totalitarian state. I see ‘1984’ in 2025, and it gets worse with each passing day.

Donald Trump warns ‘we are going to have troops everywhere’ after ICE protests

FROM THE EXPRESS UK: In a directive Saturday, Trump invoked a legal provision allowing him to deploy federal service members when there is ”a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”

“We are going to have troops everywhere,” Trump said after touching down on Air Force One in New Jersey on Sunday. “We are not going to let this happen to our country.”

Earlier on Saturday, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest.”

“We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED,” Trump added. “Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!”

On Saturday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids intensified in the area following demonstrations at a federal detention center, where police used tear gas and flash-bangs and detained a union leader. Border Patrol agents donned riot gear and gas masks as they stood watch outside an industrial park in Paramount, releasing tear gas among the crowd of onlookers and demonstrators who lined the sidewalks, some heckling the officers while filming the scene on their phones.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom requested Trump remove the guard members in a letter Sunday afternoon, calling their deployment a “serious breach of state sovereignty.” He was in Los Angeles meeting with local law enforcement and officials. The deployment appeared to be the first time in decades that a state’s national guard was activated without a request from its governor, a significant escalation against those who have sought to hinder the administration’s mass deportation efforts.

“He’s hoping for chaos so he can justify more crackdowns, more fear, more control,” Newsom wrote in an X post. “Stay calm. Never use violence. Stay peaceful,” he said. READ MORE

Are we watching the dawn of the American police state?

DOGE THIS: Elon Musk Calls Donald Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ A ‘Disgusting Abomination’ That’ll Add $2,400,000,000,000.00 To The US National Debt

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Elon Musk issued a blistering criticism of the massive Republican bill for President Donald Trump’s agenda Tuesday, posting on X that it is a ‘disgusting abomination.’

Trump and the Magagites call it the ‘big, beautiful bill’, and that’s correct on all 3 counts. It is a bill, it is very big, and to a select group of individuals it is quite beautiful. But the world’s richest man Elon Musk thinks it’s an ‘disgusting abomination’ and wants nothing to do with it. Washington watchers are calling this a ‘stunning departure’ from the previous Musk-Trump bromance.

“Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.” Ecclesiastes 10:20 (KJB)  

I don’t know about you, but so far, I am not so happy with what the Trump administration has brought to the table. All I really see is that Donald Trump, his family and their close associates have gotten fabulously wealthy. For Elon Musk to separate from Trump is understandable, for Musk to say the very harsh words that he did about the ‘big, beautiful bill’ is a different story altogether. The Deep State is not only surviving the Trump presidency, it appears to be thriving as well.

Elon Musk calls Trump agenda bill ‘disgusting abomination’ days after White House send-off

FROM NBC NEWS: “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

“It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” added Musk, who left the White House last week.

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said the package would increase the deficit by $2.3 trillion with its tax cuts and spending hikes on immigration enforcement in the military outstripping the savings. Musk, a top Republican donor during the 2024 elections, doubled down later in the day, posting on X: “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”

A source familiar with the Musk-Trump relationship told NBC News that four issues, which Axios was first to report, were likely behind Musk’s frustration on social media.

The source highlighted the absence of electric vehicle tax credits from the bill, which would benefit Musk’s Tesla customers as one factor, and noted how Musk had been pushing for the Federal Aviation Administration to use his Starlink satellite system in their FAA control systems. The source also pointed to personnel issues, noting that a nomination for Musk ally Jared Isaacman to serve as NASA administrator had been pulled over the weekend and that Musk himself had hoped to stay on in his special government employee capacity beyond the 130-day period, which the White House ultimately did not accommodate.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla, had previously signaled his disappointment in the legislation, telling CBS News he believed it was a “massive spending bill” that “undermines” the work of his Department of Government Efficiency operation. The remarks came as an unwelcome surprise to Republicans on Tuesday as the Senate considers changes to the version passed by the House while seeking to placate competing factions internally, including those that want to reduce the red ink.

“We obviously respect everything that Elon did with DOGE. On this particular issue, we have a difference of opinion,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters. “He’s entitled to that opinion, but we’re going to proceed full speed ahead.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said it was “a dangerous thing” for Musk to be “meddling with” the economy, noting that a debt limit hike to avert a default was part of the bill.

“This is the key to the economic resurgence of America. It’s going to be jet fuel for the economy. And the sooner we do it, the better,” Johnson told reporters. “And by the way, the debt ceiling is also revved into this legislation. That is a dangerous thing for Elon or anyone who has who cares about the U.S. economy to be meddling with. And I think the risk is very great.” READ MORE

President Trump’s so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is heading to the Senate after narrowly passing the House. But a White House ally is capturing headlines surrounding the huge measure after becoming an outspoken opponent.
