Report: RFK Jr. Planning To Run For President
as Independent – Who Does It Help/Hurt?

Original Article

I haven’t paid much attention to RFK Jr. He’s been shut out of the Democrat Party process, where the powers that be don’t want a challenger to Joe Biden or whomever they select to replace him as nominee.[Snip] One important barometer will be how viciously the Democrats and media attack RFK Jr. if he goes independent.[Snip]If they go soft on him once he’s out of the party, or even promote him through proxies, then you know he’s harming Trump or whoever the Republican nominee ends up being.

Comments:

Comments posted to this article include one from a LI author stating that her Democrat friends do not want Joe Biden or President Trump and were planning to vote for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.; from her personal observation, “there are many of those voters out there.” She believes there to be a fair number of “establishment” Republican voters who would “never vote for a conservative or populist and certainly not Trump” so would vote for RFK,Jr. Other commenters point out RFK,Jr. appeals to the solid right demographic and that mothers love RFK,Jr. because of his stance on vaccines.

I hope it takes enough votes away from Biden that it punches Biden in the gut. MAGA

RFK, Jr.'s independent candidacy would hurt Trump worst, because it would make it easier for the media to conceal a swampy steal.

I think his running would take votes away from both Biden and Trump. Dems who know that Biden is a walking screw up, but won't vote for a Republican would vote for RFK. Repubs who know that Biden is a walking screw up, but hate Trump would vote for RFK. The question is who would be hurt more? My guess would be Biden.

I’m with number 2. I think this has been the plan all along. RFK talks a good game but he’s still a democrat

#3 My thoughts exactly. I think both will be hurt. But democrats are more loyal to their guy. Even though they know that Biden is compromised, they'll vote for him just so Trump won't win. Republicans have too many never-Trump-ers and many seem to be enamored with RFK. Unfortunately, I think Trump will be hurt more.

I think it will hurt Trump. Kennedy states several things that the weak independent voter will fall for, without realizing it's a Kennedy, and that he will just fall in line with the leftist BS. Kennedy says things that will appeal to those independent voters who might lean toward Trump because they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, think Biteme is too old, but who really don't want to see Trump in the White House again. There are a lot of voters like this. Voters who don't pay attention, who watch and believe the MSM, and who spend a large amount of time on social media. They are the clueless voters who quite frankly should have their voting rights revoked.

It's too early to say who he would hurt the most. Old Joe may look like an Egyptian mummy by Nov. 2024. How many Dems will think twice about voting for a corpse?

Only a small percentage of Biden voters are happy with Biden, look at his rallies. I suspect many would take any alternate offered. Trump's supports on the other hand would walk over glass to vote for him. Look at the trump rallies, those people will not be voting for RFK. If the shame impeachments and indictments haven't changed their minds RFK is not going to. Many of these voters want revenge and Trump is they guy promising it. I'm pretty sure Biden will be hurt much more by a RFK run.

If Kennedy takes enough votes away from Biden, resulting in Trump winning the election, Kennedy will be a sure thing for any job that he is interested in filling in the new Trump Administration.

Trump has a very loyal base, most love the guy. Biden has nothing like this. Democrats that are voting for Biden are doing so just because they hate Trump or would never vote for GOP. Yes some never Trumpers might consider voting for RFKjr because they don't want to vote for Biden but they were never going to vote for Trump. So RFKjr running as an Independent would probably hurt Biden and help Trump

Tucker Carlson slams abortion as ‘human

Tucker Carlson took aim at the insidious eternal forces that lie behind the global push to normalize abortion as a good thing: “Outside forces are acting on people at all times throughout history in every culture on the planet, to convince people that if they sacrifice their children, they will be happy and safe.”[Snip]“It’s not a natural human function to want to kill your own children. That’s an idea, an impulse, that was introduced.” Carlson didn’t state who has introduced the idea in virtually every culture across all time and all continents, but the inference of steady, unwavering demonic influence demanding child sacrifice was clear.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - A wildly divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled late Tuesday that only one element of the disputed ballot language for describing a closely watched fall abortion rights question is misleading and must be rewritten. The decision lets stand most of the word choices targeted in a lawsuit by Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights, the pro-abortion rights ballot campaign, as well as the substitution of “unborn child” for “fetus,” which it chose not to dispute.[Snip]The abortion rights campaign likened some of the state’s arguments to a scene with Alice from Through the Looking Glass.

The SSCI is the organizational institution that supports the Fourth Branch of Government, the intelligence branch.[Snip]In this video segment below, notice how Chairman Warner leads off his remarks. Two flares triggered. First, you can tell by his response, that President Trump’s “classified documents” were exactly what we thought they were; evidence against those who constructed the Trump-Russia claims from inside govt. Second, notice how Warner now wants to block any President from controlling intelligence as defined by the Fourth Branch. This stuff is getting brutally obvious.

Radical LGBT activist group Human Rights Campaign endorsed an amendment on the Ohio ballot this fall, even linking it to “LGBTQ+ rights,” after leftists and their allies in the corporate media spent months insisting the amendment had nothing to do with gender experiments. The constitutional amendment in question, which voters will decide on in November, would enshrine abortion up until birth in the Ohio Constitution and also override parental consent laws for gender-dysphoric minors seeking irreversible surgeries and disfiguring hormone injections.

According to a major Democratic donor close to Californian Governor Gavin Newsom, who is set to choose Feinstein's replacement, the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex running is not impossible. Although a long-shot replacement for the 90-year-old pioneer, there is speculation Meghan could serve out the remaining 13 months of Feinstein's term.

Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn reported on Friday that former CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric boasted at the liberal Texas Tribune Festival last weekend about how she helped Barack Obama get elected in 2008 with her infamous attack interview on Republican Gov. Sarah Palin. "You're welcome, by the way," Couric told the audience, sparking laughter and applause. She added, "I always thought that Barack Obama should have sent me a big-ass bouquet of flowers for that interview." Then-White House battle-axe Helen Thomas said Couric "saved the country" with that interview. She justified sticking it to McCain for health reasons, and for his poor judgment in picking Palin.

Gaetz’s threats come after McCarthy secured enough Democratic support to pass a short-term spending bill through the House on Saturday, narrowly avoiding a government shutdown. Although Gaetz and other GOP hardliners opposed the continuing resolution,

The White House released a statement which read: 'On Saturday, September 30, 2023, the President signed into law: H.R. 5860, which provides fiscal year appropriations to Federal agencies through November 17, 2023 for continuing projects of the Federal Government and extends several expiring authorities.'

This fraud is not running for anything. One might be forgiven for assuming the reason a presidential candidate is running for the nomination is to win the nomination and become president. This is not the case for nearly every candidate running currently in the GOP primary. They know they have no chance to win, and, furthermore, they are essentially doing nothing to change that fact, either out of cowardice or sleazy political calculus or both. There are two varieties of the current GOP crop of con-man: those who refuse to criticize Trump in any meaningful way so as not to upset the Big Guy

She's hoping the newly resurrected Clinton Global Initiative (the fake charity but real influence-peddling operation that temporarily closed its doors while being investigated for engaging in pay-to-play fraud) can make a financial killing off all the real killing going on in Ukraine. CGI is ready to help the widowed, orphaned, and suffering people of Ukraine by collecting large sums of money that will go a long way to supporting the Clintons' lavish lifestyles. What remains of their tax-free charitable "services" can then be distributed among their army of cronies desperate for an easy payday.
