With all the talk of 2020 election irregularities, what remains underreported is how Jared Kushner--as campaign manager--took no precautions ahead of 2020, drove the entire thing into the ground, and now advises AFPI, the think tank that wants to staff a second Trump term.
Kushner doesn't just advise it, he created the organization that preceeded it, the Office of American Innovation, which undermined the America First agenda in the White House before forming the America First Policy Institute outfit of it.
2020 Trump campaign people I spoke with relayed how horrible everything was run, how Kushner didn't seem to know what he was doing or may as well have been deliberately crashing the thing into the ground.
There were also White House staff who told me that there had been at least two 2020 election integrity proposals in anticipation of trouble but they were ignored as unnecessary. None of these people have been held accountable. Most are now celebrities.
Even though I was reporting what I was being told by people in the Trump administration, a lot of it seemed to surprise people. But now Peter Navarro is taking off the gloves and going on record about Kushner and the American First Policy Institute. washingtontimes.com/news/2022/jul/…
The Axios piece that puffed up AFPI and claimed Kushner isn't involved with anything was nonsense. Grifters *love* "bad press" from liberal media. They love the attention and often participate in planting these stories. axios.com/2022/07/22/tru…
But some people, most notably Navarro, are ringing alarm bells ahead of a potential second Trump run. The worst people from the first admin, who did everything wrong up to and including handling the 2020 election, are poised to staff a second White House. amgreatness.com/2022/07/25/tru…

"Like 30% of [military aid] reaches its final destination"
Republicans and Democrats stole billions of dollars from Americans and poured it into the black hole of corruption that is Ukraine, casting critics as "Putin stooges." Turns out the stooges were the boosters of this war.
Never fell for the Ukraine psyop, never put the flag in my bio, never liked Zelensky, was opposed to US involvement from the start -- vindicated
Ukraine is a literal vortex of corruption and intrigue, a dumping ground for US dollars pilfered from Americans, and Zelensky is the high-heel-wearing creep at the center of it. My piece in @im_1776. im1776.com/2022/05/27/ser…
Foreign policy--Ukraine and Taiwan--is the real test of who understands the radical implications of "America First." It doesn't mean, "we keep some of the imperial rot that has accrued over the decades"--it means a radical break with the establishment's consensus.
It doesn't mean we continue doing what we've been doing--which has been horrible for America and the world--at a slightly less intense rate and maybe spend a little less money on it. It means revising the American interest. It also means a move toward autarky.
Here is Bill Kristol, someone who was instrumental in forging the existing consensus, saying that we cannot do economic nationalism because it would defeat the point of having these distant little provinces. "Making America strong means making our allies weak!"
I will always hate US politicians more than I will ever hate anyone in Russia or China. Because of their fake patriotism, because of their transparent hypocrisy, for their manifest selling out of America while wearing little American flag pins on their lapels, made in China.
China doesn't have to go to war with America to beat us. Republicans and Democrats sold America out to China willingly a long time ago. Russia doesn't have to threaten American values. US politicians do that.
The US regime has its own uyghurs. They're called white Middle Americans. China doesn't have to cripple us in a war because US politicians, Republicans and Democrats, *chose* to offshore our economic power.
I mean it when I say that young people trying to make it out here shouldn't strive to rely on professional access. It is better and more rewarding to struggle and suffer.
Networks are natural. But it is important not to fall into networks that prevent you from doing real work -- from attacking a system that is deserves to be incinerated. This is one reason why I am not a conservative. I don't want to "conserve" the rot.
Every single "founding father" would be denounced by Reason libertarians like Fiona as a white nationalist for their views on immigration today. They would scream in horror at George Washington for signing the Naturalization Act of 1790. No one needs to take them seriously.
