This is speculation but the allegation is coming from many different places and makes sense due to several telling details in the story. I would normally not post anything on this but too many are blaming the altercation on MAGA, which is ridiculous. The left’s love of using every crisis as an opportunity had already gone way too far before this happened. ABN

Trump fires warning shot at Pompeo and Pence: ‘Very disloyal’ if Cabinet members run in 2024

Former President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that former Vice President Mike Pence and former Cabinet members would be “very disloyal” if they ran against him for the Republican Party nomination for president in 2024.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley have also teased bids for the White House in the next presidential election. However, Haley has said she would only consider running if Trump does not.

“Many of them have said they would never run if I run, so we’ll see if that turns out to be true,” Trump said during a phone interview with Fox News Radio host Brian Kilmeade. “I think it would be very disloyal if they did, but that’s OK too.”

This looks purely political and I doubt this admin has any other consideration. But if Vanden Bossche is right, the worst stage of the pandemic is likely to come “before the end of the year.” ABN

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Wins Coveted Paul Ryan Endorsement for 2024

…Ron DeSantis is backed by the same assembly of political insiders, donors, corporations and financial backers that supported Jeb Bush.  The professionally republican class know what they have in DeSantis, and he is brand organized, packaged & managed to deliver on their intents.

DeSantis didn’t raise $200+ million, with 94% coming from billionaires and multinational corporations, for a gubernatorial reelection race in Florida.  Keep in mind all of the major expenses (television ads, mailers, etc.) are coming from outside PACs and affiliated groups.

…DeSantis has raised a massive war chest and he is not spending it.   He has willingly accepted the positioning for a 2024 nomination effort.  It is intellectually dishonest not to see what the Club is doing.

The DNC Club is doing the same thing with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The both wings of the UniParty want a Newsom -vs- DeSantis contest.

The professional political approach is as clear now in 2022 as it was in 2014 when the clubs were organizing the Hillary -vs- Jeb contest for 2016.

Trump has reportedly said that he will accept the subpoena and is happy to testify, provided he can do it on live TV.

According to reports, Trump will agree to testify but doesn’t want the Democrats and their allies in the media to selectively edit his video testimony to make him look bad.

Geert Vanden Bossche: “The speed at which the virus is now evolving is unprecedented… unprecedented. The damage that will cause to the population is going to be huge”

“The best protected people ever are the unvaccinated in highly vaccinated countries.” ~ Geert Vanden Bossche. This is because covid infection rates in highly vaccinated countries are very high and the unvaccinated are constantly exposed to new variants, to which they respond with a broad range of antibodies. The high infection rates are not generally noticed because infections are mild or asymptomatic. Rates are high because the virus has adapted to the synthetic antibodies produced by the vaccine in the bodies of the vaccinated causing them to carry very high viral loads. The great danger is the high infection rates will stay high as a more lethal version of the virus evolves and proliferates. When/if that happens, the unvaccinated will be well prepared to fight the new variant but the vaccinated will not. ABN
