I disagree the the "U.S. Constitution is the greatest guarantor of freedoms in history".
I believe it is the New Testament found in 1 Cor 15: 1-4. That is the foundation of most
governments, that have been successful for any period of time.

I told you the swamp will strike back. They will come after his companies. Just like they did with Trump Organisation.

MSM will come after Vivek but this guy in his first week of him announcing his presidency run released all of his tax returns and investments, yet the media and rival camps couldn't find anything.

So they bait him to say something stupid.
He has got two left wing media persons fired. CNN isn't going to be inviting him back, he has destroyed their agenda. MSNBC where taking pot shots at him, he challenged them and people on X where egging MSNBC to invite him for debate but they chickened out, instead they got chris christie.

Blackrock has its finger in all of news channels cnn, nbc, cbs, abc etc. They even have 15% stake in Fox.
The same blackrock also has stakes in all the big pharma, defense companies. That is the reason Tucker got fired. Another one is Vanguard which also as stakes in all of them.

So they effectively have the means to shape the narrative or even overthrow a government including here.

Now Vivek started a company couple of years back as a direct rival to Blackrock and Vanguard. The reason he did that is because the cancel culture due to woke/blm movement came after his companies, they asked him to show solidarity with the movement and he refused. Many in his company resigned or where forced to resign by woke pressure. So he responded by writing Woke Inc and two more books.

And yes Blackrock and Vanguard are the ones funding woke ideology, climate ideology.

Now the reason he announced he was running for the President was because he fears this country will be lost by the time his two sons become of age.

Another intresting thing Vivek disclosed was that it will take about $200mil for a candidate by the time they become a Republican nominee and 2 billion dollars for some one to become a president.

So everyone who runs always had good intentions but when you get funded by superpac or large donars, your policy changes and you will be the swamp.

The thing Trump and Vivek have in common apart from same policies are that they both where not bought out by superpac donars.

Vivek has said that he will not be spending on Tv ads until the last moment. Since all of his support is coming from grassroots. Even the media is inviting him because he gets the second most views after Trump. Both Trump including in 2015 and Vivek gets free press.
Other candidates have to pay to be on their show.

Another thing on Viveks favour is he has got positive support from Tucker, Elon Musk, Ben Shapiro, Dr Jordan peterson (conservative shrink) and practically every big neutral podcasts out there.
The more I am seeing of him the more I like him.

I stand for Trump, but if a primary was to be held today I don’t know who I would vote for.
Trump is a known, we know what he will do, he has proven himself, and I think this time around he will hit back even harder at the swamp.

The thing Vivek has going for him is his age. It is nice to see some young conservatives out there. I hope him and trump don’t bloody each other up during the primary’s. The left will do enough of that. I want to see true conservatives stand together. Because United we stand.

Maybe someone could just forward this thread to help him out?


The former president canceled a press conference during which he’d promised to present “irrefutable” proof of election fraud
Yeah - on the advice of his lawyer Given what he is up against keeping his mouth shut for once sounds like a damn good idea!

I just hope he's not a pathetic liar like the libs. No "If you like your doctor you can keep him" or "If you like your insurance you can keep it" type of bull$hit. I say the same thing about RFK. Is it possible there's actually one honest democrat?

interesting guy.

'Rich Men North of Richmond' Artist Turns Down $8 Million From Stunned Music Execs, Says "Nothing Special About Me"
He could have taken the money and done some good with it, or kept it, either way I would not have faulted him for doing so.

If he's the real deal, it's pretty powerful.....

Lunsford is a former factory worker and lives in the forgotten part of the US, Appalachia, an area plagued with an opioid crisis and abandoned factories. The song tells the story of working-class folk who struggle daily while being ignored and mocked by political elites just north of Richmond.



Lunsford detailed in a lengthy Facebook post that he turned down a $8 million deal from stunned music industry executives:

People in the music industry give me blank stares when I brush off 8 million dollar offers. I don't want 6 tour buses, 15 tractor trailers and a jet. I don't want to play stadium shows, I don't want to be in the spotlight. I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar. The style of music that we should have never gotten away from in the first place.

Since going viral nine days ago, he has received over 50,000 messages from people reacting to the song. He said some messages include stories about "Suicide, addiction, unemployment, anxiety and depression, hopelessness and the list goes on."

Lunsford provided more details about who he exactly is...

My legal name is Christopher Anthony Lunsford. My grandfather was Oliver Anthony, and "Oliver Anthony Music" is a dedication not only to him, but 1930's Appalachia where he was born and raised. Dirt floors, seven kids, hard times. At this point, I'll gladly go by Oliver because everyone knows me as such. But my friends and family still call me Chris. You can decide for yourself, either is fine.
In 2010, I dropped out of high school at age 17. I have a GED from Spruce Pine, NC. I worked multiple plant jobs in Western NC, my last being at the paper mill in McDowell county. I worked 3rd shift, 6 days a week for $14.50 an hour in a living hell. In 2013, I had a bad fall at work and fractured my skull. It forced me to move back home to Virginia. Due to complications from the injury, it took me 6 months or so before I could work again.
From 2014 until just a few days ago, I've worked outside sales in the industrial manufacturing world. My job has taken me all over Virginia and into the Carolinas, getting to know tens of thousands of other blue collar workers on job sites and in factories. Ive spent all day, everyday, for the last 10 years hearing the same story. People are SO damn tired of being neglected, divided and manipulated.
In 2019, I paid $97,500 for the property and still owe about $60,000 on it. I am living in a 27' camper with a tarp on the roof that I got off of craigslist for $750.
There's nothing special about me. I'm not a good musician, I'm not a very good person. I've spent the last 5 years struggling with mental health and using alcohol to drown it. I am sad to see the world in the state it's in, with everyone fighting with each other. I have spent many nights feeling hopeless, that the greatest country on Earth is quickly fading away.


He concludes with:

That being said, I HATE the way the Internet has divided all of us. The Internet is a parasite, that infects the minds of humans and has their way with them. Hours wasted, goals forgotten, loved ones sitting in houses with each other distracted all day by technology made by the hands of other poor souls in sweat shops in a foreign land.

When is enough, enough? When are we going to fight for what is right again? MILLIONS have died protecting the liberties we have. Freedom of speech is such a precious gift. Never in world history has the world had the freedom it currently does. Don't let them take it away from you.


Just like those once wandering in the desert, we have lost our way from God and have let false idols distract us and divide us. It's a damn shame.
