President Trump will deliver remarks today to the audience at CPAC 2021. It is the first public speech by President Trump since leaving office. This will likely be one of the most watched political speeches in years. Everyone wants to know what President Trump has in store for the future of the MAGA movement.

A very bold statement from former White House Senior Advisor Peter Navarro on television this morning. Appearing with Maria Bartiromo, Navarro said he “guarantees there will be at least three criminal indictments” as a result of the Durham investigation.
Navarro also shares that President Trump’s CPAC speech will be a “full-throated defense of populist economic nationalism”, and Navarro eviscerates a host of internal advisors who he views as not being in alignment with the priorities of the America First agenda.

Devin Nunes appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss current events. Topics include the fencing and barbed wire around the Capitol, his CPAC speech, the Durham investigation and how Stefan Halper was used to frame Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
Nunes continues to hold out hope that John Durham will bring charges against those within the DOJ and FBI who targeted the Trump campaign and worked with the DNC.

Former President Trump campaign senior adviser Corey Lewandowski appears on Fox News to discuss the upcoming speech today from President Trump. Lewandowski anticipates the speech will be one to remember.
Additionally, Mr. Lewandowski notes that President Trump will not initiate a new “third party”, but will instead demand reform within the Republican party as it exists.
Also, President Trump is on the cusp of creating a new Political Action Committee that will support MAGA candidates and oppose any existing politician who does not support the Make America Great Again policy. That sounds excellent.
Former Ambassador to Germany, and former Acting Director of National Intelligence, and potentially the next California governor, Ric Grenell, delivers an “America First” speech at CPAC 2021.
During a press question and answer period the dividing line inside the republican party became publicly clear again today. When responding to a question about whether President Trump should speak to the CPAC audience Kevin McCarthy said “yes he should.” However, Liz Cheney -who is the #3 leadership position- said: “I don’t believe he should be playing a role in the party going forward.” WATCH
Thus the ridiculous position of the Republican party is on display. Keep in mind the party caucus recently agreed to keep Liz Cheney in her leadership role after she voted to impeach President Trump. Her remarks today were intentionally antagonistic and intentionally public. She is sneering in the face of 80,000,000 voters and laughing while she does it. Ms. Cheney could have chosen to say nothing… but she made a choice.
The DeceptiCon wing of the party feels emboldened by the lack of the MAGA contingent to push back forcefully against them. There are times when it becomes necessary to separate from bad people and unfortunately the Republican party does not seem capable of getting rid of the conniving corrupt internal elements. It will be up to the voters of Wyoming to remove Cheney from politics. Let us hope a strong primary candidate will do the job.
According to Atlanta media former Georgia Senator David Perdue had a phone call with President Trump that did not go well and led to Perdue changing his mind on a run for office after previously filing paperwork to do so. Hopefully this report is accurate, and President Trump is starting to lay the groundwork for MAGA-minded challengers to enter the political world and challenge the establishment republican candidates.
GEORGIA – Former Sen. David Perdue announced Tuesday he will not challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) for his seat in the 2022 midterms, reversing course after filing paperwork declaring his candidacy.
In a statement first sent by email to supporters, Perdue (R-Ga.) said that he and his wife, Bonnie, had decided against him re-entering the political arena.
“This is a personal decision, not a political one. I am confident that whoever wins the Republican Primary next year will defeat the Democrat candidate in the General election for this seat and I will do everything I can to make that happen,” the former senator wrote, saying he had come to this decision “after much prayer and reflection.” (read more)
You might remember when David Perdue attempted to speak at a MAGA rally in Georgia and the crowd drowned him immediately with chants of “fight for Trump“. Senator Perdue ran from the stage.
[Hat Tip John Fredricks, for the meeting particulars] The Forsyth County, Georgia, republican party held a meeting to discuss why their senate candidates failed to win the run-off election in January. The screenshot of their justification is a case study in why the republican apparatus fails, and why the challenge to reform the party is so difficult.
First, it is important to filter through what is described as the “Tea Party” support base within the professional republican apparatus. Genuine Tea Party outlooks are in total alignment with the MAGA perspectives of Donald Trump. However, there are elements within the republican party that are more traditionally GOPe-minded and yet assign themselves to the outlook of the Tea Party. There is a difference, but more on that in a moment. Here’s how the Forsyth County political activists are explaining:
Notice, the Forsyth County GOP blame-cast against the base of voters by identifying people they view as outside the party interest. They blame libertarians, populists, Trump, Steve Bannon, John Fredricks and even the candidates themselves which includes Doug Collins for being too outside the base of voter enthusiasm. This view tells us what the mindset of the internal republican network in Forsyth County is !!
Do not just dismiss their justification as presented. CTH warned in 2014 and 2015 this ideological outlook, this disconnect from the reality of the base, would lead to a big problem…. and it has. I shall provide a concrete example below of just how dangerous this fracture is within our constitutional republic. The reason we need more trumpet.
As a person who has traveled extensively in the past decade+ to engage the base of middle-class support that represents MAGA, I can attest that the disconnect between the republican party apparatus and the base of voters they depend on is a severe problem. Without correction… there is no alternative other than to create a THIRD party.
After some mixed considerations about attending this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, CPAC, President Trump is apparently going to speak to the audience on Sunday February 28th. Without a doubt this will be one of the most anticipated speeches of this year….
(Fox News) Former President Trump will make his first major public appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) conference later this month, Fox News has learned.
Traditionally held outside of Washington, D.C., the 2021 CPAC conference will kick off in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday. Trump will be talking about the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Also, look for the 45th president to take on President Biden’s “disastrous amnesty and border policies,” according to a source familiar with Trump’s speech.
Trump has stayed relatively quiet since leaving the White House on Jan. 20 for his Mar-a-lago resort in Florida and after Twitter banned him from the social media platform after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. But Trump has indicated he wants to stay politically active and told his supporters after his impeachment acquittal the MAGA movement is still going strong. (read more)
A very interesting article from Politico notes that President Trump is positioning himself to screen candidates for 2022 who support the MAGA initiatives. This would essentially be considered a hostile move by the professional republican elites.
As we previously mentioned, no republican is going to win any nomination, primary or general election without the MAGA endorsement of President Donald J Trump. This is the leverage that begins the “Big Ugly”, the destruction of the DeceptiCon wing of the UniParty bird.
POLITICO – […] According to three people familiar with the planning, Trump will soon begin vetting candidates at Mar-a-Lago who are eager to fulfill his promise to exact vengeance upon incumbent Republicans who’ve scorned him, and to ensure every open GOP seat in the 2022 midterms has a MAGA-approved contender vying for it.
Trump already has received dozens of requests from prospective candidates seeking to introduce themselves and nab his endorsement, and formal meetings with them could begin as early as March. Now that Trump has survived his second Senate impeachment trial, he has shifted his focus to post-presidential activism — a venture mostly bankrolled by his new leadership PAC, Save America, which had $31 million in its coffers at the start of this month.
