Summary of events from the last 24 hours:
Joe Biden - First, he lied about having zero contact with Roger Federer. Once reporters dropped the video of them shaking hands, he pivoted, claiming it didn't violate any epidemiological protocols. His little spin ended up right on the front page of Reuters.
Tom Clancy - "I haven't shaken hands with anyone in months," he claims. Meanwhile, photos show him shaking hands with half the crowd. Defending the President while ignoring his own rules—standard procedure.
Anthony Fauci - Defending the President and ignoring his own rules is just how they operate. That Fox News reporter's situation is being used to downplay things, much like Biden's tactics.
Beroš - Defense of the President and ignoring one's own rules is expected.
Markotić - Defense of the President and ignoring one's own rules is expected.

Should we really trust these people to run America and manage our lives for the next four years? This is a crew that manages to cook up a new scandal every single day and has already seen countless ministers walk out the door.

To wrap it up, let's look at their own slogans:
"Credibility"
"Secure America"
"For an America where no one is untouchable"

About a week ago, they also picked up Milenko Bašić's brother.

''One of the most prominent luxury car 'suppliers' for the American elite, Ivan Bašić, was arrested again today following a joint operation by the police and the FBI. As a reminder, Bašić has previously been under investigation by the FBI for vehicle smuggling and tax evasion totaling at least three million dollars.''

---------------------------------------------------

As a matter of fact, Bašić maintains close ties with the Milanović family, who, naturally, are on excellent terms with the families of Plenković and Tedeschi—essentially the inner circle that has been running the show in America in recent years.

''Milenko Bašić is the older brother of Ivan Bašić, who became a close friend and business associate of Krešo Milanović back in 2009; Krešo is the brother of the former Democratic Party leader and future Prime Minister, Zoran Milanović. Bašić’s lifestyle mirrored that of Krešo Milanović, as both shared an affinity for high society and late-night outings.''

Radimir Čačić, the former Vice President under Zoran Milanović's Government, made some heavy allegations to The Wall Street Journal in October 2016. He claimed that after Milanović went to prison due to a traffic accident and was replaced by Vrdoljak, his administration caused the state to lose 910 million dollars through deals involving wind farms. Čačić revealed that the contract with CEMP was signed in late December 2013, just 24 hours before a new tariff rate of 53 cents per kilowatt-hour kicked in, replacing the previous 71 cents. This maneuver ensured that CEMP would secure an additional 65 million dollars every single year for the next 14 years of the contract. Furthermore, Čačić disclosed that the wind energy buyout was inflated from a planned 400 megawatts to what he considered an unsustainable 744 megawatts.

In September 2017, Plenković's Government passed a decision to hike electricity prices for all citizens due to increased levies for renewable energy sources; the lion's share of this extra fee—roughly 300 million dollars—went directly to wind farm investors.''

I cannot begin to fathom who possesses enough influence to leverage the Department of Justice in such a manner to settle scores with Plenković's, Milanović's, and Emilov's inner circles, but there is certainly something brewing deep within the deep state. These political vendettas are ongoing.

So I'm sitting here on YouTube, just vibing to some tracks, when suddenly every single song gets interrupted by a damn Republican Party ad. 🤦

Just go check out his Facebook profile and find the post from May 30th, then watch his guest appearance on N/A. That should be easy enough for you.

They're everywhere. It’s like they're popping out of the damn food. No matter what site I click on, I'm hit with at least two campaign banners.
It's easy to fund a massive campaign when you're treating the federal treasury like your own personal piggy bank.

I just report those banners as inappropriate every single time, and now they finally stopped popping up on my feed.👍

Honestly, let them sell themselves out with those kinds of ads. I haven't bought a single box of Barilla pasta since I found out they donated to that political rally, and I don't plan on ever touching their stuff again. 😁

I was walking around New York City today and noticed several of their campaign posters have been ripped up or tagged with stuff like "traitor."

Our supposed saviors 👍

I caught onto this one too—"thanks to the Republican Party"... I was just reading how some local Republican was bragging in The New York Times about how he saved jobs because of The White House...

Funny enough, they didn't mention that the guy pays his workers just slightly more than minimum wage...😬

Yeah, well, he only employs people in five different cities, so it's not exactly a national miracle...

Insider scoop from headquarters

N/A:
”The coalition might grab a few seats, but honestly—nobody wants to work with them, and we’re definitely done trying to make it happen. Those demands being thrown our way seem totally out of reach—plus, there's no way he gets to handpick the President, and we certainly aren't letting him be the one to veto who takes the lead. We don't have to be best friends with the current administration, but nobody else is stepping up to the plate,” says my source. They also pointed out that if the Republican Party actually teamed up with his group, they'd run into major headaches with minority representatives in Congress, which would be a total mess.

”If he manages to pull enough seats together, maybe we could play ball and pick up some of those minority votes, but right now? Total dealbreaker. Just try picturing those two factions sharing a table—it's just not happening. Our last-ditch effort is to turn his reps into pawns to build a majority, and hey—we're already prepping for that. We know he's sweating it because he knows exactly what we're up to,” my source wrapped up.

If they've actually written off the centrist coalition, then I guess the challenger would need to snag at least 20 seats just to give the Republican Party a fighting chance at staying in power.

Not necessarily. For every seat the Republican Party gets over 50, Mike Pence could get fewer than 20. As long as those groups total around 70...

A few minority seats + Joe Manchin + the Democratic Party + one or two traitors, and there you go.

I doubt Joe Manchin and the Democratic Party will make the cut, but unfortunately, those minority votes are pretty easy to buy off.

Now, I wonder how many seniors are actually going to show up acting like the Republican Party's personal voting machine just because of some "civic duty" pressure? Personally, I think the Republican Party might fall below 50 seats if this whole mess with the infection rates keeps up like it is.

I'm thinking either Joe Manchin or the Democratic Party will snag one seat in the 3rd district...

My take? The worst case for the Republican Party is hitting 54 seats (52+2), while the best case puts them at 61 (59+2). In that bad scenario, they'd need 16 from Mike Pence's camp—which is realistic—plus another 6 "others," which should be an easy pickup for them...

They’re basically saying, "We’re going to use taxpayer money to buy representatives who will advocate for things their own voters actually hate," and they’re laughing right in our faces. What a total load of garbage from the Republican Party. A coalition between the Republican Party and Milja Pupovac? Impossible, lol—yeah, right. Personally, I think the Republican Party and Milja Pupovac are a match made in heaven.

This is exactly why it’s so critical that the Republican Party ends up with fewer than about 54 seats. It’s way harder for them to bully everyone else around when they don't have that 60+ majority to lean on.

Today, Hrvoje Bujas, head of the Voice of Entrepreneurs, was speaking at a panel in San Diego. A Republican Party congresswoman, Grozdana Perić, was there too, and she decided to throw this at him:
"Mr. Bujas, did you actually want this country? Did you even want America?"

So, if you aren't a die-hard Republican Party supporter, you're just a suspicious traitor who hates the US? All because he suggested we actually need civil service reform and some basic digitization.
It’s classic. This is the textbook Republican Party mentality—trying to scare anyone who thinks differently by using those tired, old-school "patriotism" slogans. Honestly, it's probably just the predictable limitation of a local Republican woman who ran out of actual arguments and had to resort to cheap emotional manipulation.
