1) Briefly on Baris's @Peoples_Pundit "Inside the Numbers," a SLEW of new polls (including some irrationally weighted to Ds even vs. 2020 #s) have Trump up in virtually every battleground state except NV. Some of these polls even with high D weights have Trump up big.
Polls.
@Peoples_Pundit 2) On Mon. he went over the difficulty of RFK even getting on the ballot in many states. GA and AZ are OUT. AZ has byzantine regs for an indie getting on the ballot. In most places, where he (and Cornel West) don't NEED to be on--CA, NY--they can get on.
@Peoples_Pundit 3) RFK still hurts Trump among non-college, white, Protestants (exactly the opposite of his father).
4) COULD be a problem in Macomb, Hennepin, other very Trumpy close counties in blue states.
STILL . . .
@Peoples_Pundit 5) Rich said that if the election were today, Trump would crush Rutabaga in the EC.
6) Also, Rich/@barnes_law and others predicting a very, very serious recession about to hit.

1) I DO NOT think it will come to this, but it is worth thinking about and pretty funny in a way:
If President Trump wins the primary, wins the general, but then is sentenced to prison, what?
Say the Supes do NOT step in.
2) By law, no court can strip him of his Secret Service protection. My guess is he would go to a Fed facility that had a very special entire wing. After all, he would be meeting his new cabinet, etc, getting briefings.
3) Remember, if the SUPES don't step in, it would be . . .
3) contd . . . January before he could pardon himself.
4) He has made some comments to the effect that if he is sentenced he would not quit, but would run from jail.
5) Personally, I don't think even a Roberts court would risk this---certainly not for Trump's sake, but . . .
1) Listening to @barnes_law last night, he seemed far less confident the Supes or any court would step in and stop what this evil Chutkin is doing. So far they are getting away with everything unconstitutional.
@barnes_law 2) He views RFK as a "fire insurance" policy--saying they hate and fear him more than even Trump.
3) I disagree. First, no matter how horrible he is---or, presumably, might be---for the Deep State, he's still a DemoKKKrat so that already makes him "better than Trump."
@barnes_law 4) Second, I think Barnes gets overly romantic and unrealistic about what JFK did, which was NOTHING when it came to reining in the CIA or "pulling out" of Vietnam.
5) When JFK came into office Ike had a mere 600 American advisors in Vietnam. When JFK was assassinated . . .
1) I'm constantly reminded, as a historian, of how the bad guys are not superpowered, and how as often as not they step in it.
2) I'll get to Jordan in a second.
3) As I show in "A Patriot's History of Globalism: Its Rise & Decline" (Mar. 2024) at the end of WW II . . .
3) contd . . . we were "THIS CLOSE" to allowing an international body (i.e., globalist clustermonkeys) control all of our atomic weapons. Simply put, you wouldn't be here now if that had happened.
4) But Joe Stalin, who never was all that bright, stepped in it.
5) Whether it was allowing his allies to massacre 20,000 in Bulgaria or in arresting non-communists in Poland, Stalin almost overnight turned Harry Truman from an accomodationist to a hard liner.
1) Earlier The Duran reported that a leading explanation of the Hamas attacks was that a deal was nearing completion, sort of a reverse "Abraham Accords" (the "Abel Accords?") in which Saudi Arabia would have recognized Israel, US would give "peaceful" nuke tech to SA.
1) Iranians: "We need $1000 for weapons. But we only have $1000 in our account for food.
2) Demented Joe the Terror Helper: "Here, I'll give you $1000, but you have to use it for food only."
3) Iranians: "Great. Then we'll use OUR $1000 for weapons, your $1000 for food."
4) Demented Joe's apologists. "No, it doesn't work that way. We put it in a special account marked 'food' in the Qatari Bank for International Terror."
5) Iran: "No problem. In fact, even better. We can use that as collateral to get a $10,000 loan from Dubai."
6) Demented Joe's apologists: "You can't do that. We haven't released it."
7) Iran: "Sorry, haven't you seen how Hollywood does business? A theater chain gives you a promise they will distribute at some future point. You take that promise and get a loan."
