The Trump adVance Continues

Trump secures nomination and names J.D. Vance as his running mate. July 16, 2024 [WEBSITE]( | [UNSUBSCRIBE]( The Trump adVance Continues SEAN RING Dear Reader, The Once and Future President still has the rub of the green at the beginning of this week. First and foremost, he survived, much to our collective relief. Then, a Florida judge Trump nominated to the bench threw out his classified docs case because she ruled the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith unconstitutional. Next, Trump won the Republican coronation… I mean, nomination, of course. Finally, he named Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. Let’s take each of these in turn. Classified Documents Case Thrown Out Judge Aileen Cannon threw out the case against Trump. Cannon dismissed the case because Special Counsel Smith’s appointment violated the Appointment Clause of the United States Constitution. It’s a beautiful thing. The indictment never should’ve happened anyway. [On Truth Social, The Donald wrote]( As we move forward in Uniting our Nation after the horrific events on Saturday, this dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts — The January 6th Hoax in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan D.A.’s Zombie Case, the New York A.G. Scam, Fake Claims about a woman I never met (a decades old photo in a line with her then husband does not count), and the Georgia “Perfect” Phone Call charges. The Democrat Justice Department coordinated ALL of these Political Attacks, which are an Election Interference conspiracy against Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME. Let us come together to END all Weaponization of our Justice System, and Make America Great Again! Smith said he would appeal the decision. My guess is that the case will stay dead. The Republican Coronation In absolutely no surprise at all, The Donald will sit atop the Republican ticket this November. But it wasn’t a surprise RFK Jr. pick for Vice President some were still hoping for. Personally, I’d have liked to see General Mike Flynn’s loyalty to Trump be rewarded with a place on the ticket. It was never going to be Nikki Haley: too many infidelity stories to combat. I didn’t think “Little” Marco Rubio had a chance. Now, it’ll be Ohio Senator J.D. Vance’s job to make sure it’s unattractive to take another shot at the future President.

It has a better ring to it as if The Donald is on the march. J.D. Vance was born in Middletown, Ohio, on August 2, 1984. Raised in a working-class family, Vance's upbringing was marked by economic hardship and familial instability, themes he would later explore in his best-selling memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. He attended Middletown High School, where he was an average student but known for his determination. Because of his outrage over 9/11, Vance enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps after high school, serving in Iraq with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing. His time in the military instilled in him a sense of discipline and a broader perspective on the world. He says this period shaped his future ambitions. Following his military service, Vance pursued higher education at The Ohio State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy, graduating summa cum laude. He then attended Yale Law School. At Yale, he met his mentor, Professor Amy Chua, who encouraged him to write about his experiences growing up in a struggling Rust Belt town. In 2016, Vance published Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller and garnered significant attention for its candid and poignant exploration of white working-class Americans' socio-economic challenges. Hillbilly Elegy was praised for its raw honesty and its insightful commentary on the struggles of the Rust Belt, and it was later adapted into a film directed by Ron Howard. Before entering politics, Vance was a principal at Mithril Capital, a venture capital firm co-founded by Peter Thiel. He later founded his venture capital firm, Narya Capital, based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vance's business ventures concentrated on investing in Midwestern startups, highlighting his commitment to revitalizing the region. Vance's foray into politics was influenced by his desire to address the systemic issues he witnessed growing up. In 2022, he announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate from Ohio, running as a Republican. His campaign focused on economic revitalization, combating the opioid crisis, and advocating for conservative values. Vance's platform resonated with many Ohioans who felt left behind by the political establishment. Vance won the Senate seat in the 2022 midterm elections, marking the beginning of his legislative career. As a senator, he advocated policies to foster economic growth in distressed communities, improve healthcare access, and address the nation’s addiction crisis. His stance on various issues reflects a blend of traditional conservative principles and a commitment to addressing working-class Americans' unique challenges. J.D. Vance is married to Usha, an accomplished attorney he met at Yale. The couple have three children—the middle of whom is named Vivek, after their famous Yale classmate—and resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. Vance often speaks about the importance of family and community, which are central to his personal and professional life. Senator J.D. Vance's journey from a troubled upbringing to becoming a U.S. Senator is a testament to his resilience and determination. His life story has inspired many, and his work focuses on bridging the gap between America's socioeconomic divides. As a public figure, Vance remains committed to advocating for policies that uplift and support the working-class communities he has long championed. He’s also a converted Catholic. This is a significant factor that many may not fully appreciate. If President Trump were taken out, you’d have the first genuinely Catholic president since Kennedy. (Biden is an atheist born into Catholicism, but he’d never admit it.) Trump knows this, and it makes assassination an unattractive tool to change policy. Wrap Up What a start to the week for President Trump! Last week, he dodged a real bullet. This week, he dodged his biggest legal bullet. He won the Republican nomination uncontested. And he got his man for VP. It’s an incredible run for the world’s most resilient man. I eagerly await his speech on Thursday.

Credit: New York Post I nearly stood up and sang, “You’re a Grand Old Flag.” I find it to be the most rousing patriotic tune. As The Donald rose from his incompetent (or complicit) Secret Service cover to raise a fist of hope and give zero f*cks to his would-be assassin, a long-dormant patriotic pride swelled in my chest. Now, that’s the America I remember. Teddy Roosevelt couldn’t have done it better. I imagine The Almighty was having a relatively serene day in Heaven when He caught that bullet out of the corner of His omniscient eye. Perhaps He winked at The Donald to get the great man to turn his head and narrowly avoid a horrific resemblance to JFK. Maybe He merely exhaled that 10 mph wind to move the bullet off course. I don’t know about you, but I get the chills thinking about it. No man is an island, as John Donne once sermoned, but The Donald is made of different stuff. And that stuff, whatever it is and wherever it comes from, gives Trump a strength virtually unknown — and sadly, unknowable — in this day and age. Imagine, for a moment, the irony of pointing a gun at President Potatohead’s cranium. You can imagine his self-deprecating protest, like Captain Renault in Casablanca. “That’s my least vulnerable spot!” he’d cry. Jesus wept. Biden’s empty head, hollow rhetoric, and mistake-riddled policies demand debates on merit. No guns are necessary, warranted, or acceptable to an increasingly congealing old and new Trumpers who know they can win on the issues. And yet, for the man opposite Biden, a “lone gunman” – their words, not mine – practically trotted onto a rooftop, laid out with a rifle, and nearly took out [The Man in the Arena](. From the politicians who said Trump threatened democracy, to the media whores who repeated that claptrap then underplayed the severity of the assassination attempt, to the either incompetent or complicit USG, let’s unpack this near-miss of a disaster. The Attempt I won’t rehash the actual shooting, as you can get that information anywhere. Needless to say, some 20-year-old kid named Thomas Matthew Crooks, took more than a few shots at Trump. That’s because the Secret Service was watching him the entire time and didn’t do a damn thing about it until about fifteen seconds after he started to shoot at Trump. [What makes it more ridiculous is that the public spotted this kid and were shouting at law enforcement to do something about it.]( Larry Elder also posted this on X: One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Why did the officer retreat? Another important question: [Why was this kid in a BlackRock commercial?]( Is [MKUltra]( still going, or an enormous coincidence? I’ll leave the snooping on this would-be assassin to you, if you fancy it. But what on earth was the Secret Service doing? Disband the Secret Service Leave it to the nearly forgotten Milo Yiannopoulos to hit the nail on the head: If there were ever an organization that can’t get politicized, it’s the Secret Service. And yet, that’s what must’ve happened. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle must be fired immediately. Her dedication to putting females into the service in places they don’t belong led directly to this. Allegedly, the above agent is little over 5’2” and clearly isn’t fighting fit. For reference, Trump is 6’2”. She also couldn’t re-holster her gun, which I imagine is a job prerequisite. This is DEI gone insane. [Cheatle wants 30% female recruits by 2030.]( Why? But this isn’t the only problem. Where’s RFK Jr’s protection? Will they give it to him now? What’s Biden waiting for? [And why did they try to pare down Trump’s protection?]( Cheatle, and the entire team running Trump’s “protection,” must resign or be fired today. [Could Elon Musk’s New Project be worth trillions of dollars?]( Elon Musk has predicted that his new venture [“X-9840” could be “a multi trillion dollar company…”]( As big as Microsoft… Apple…and Nvidia… Companies gave their early investors a chance to become millionaires over the long term, starting with just $1,000. This has nothing to do with electric vehicles…Self-driving cars, rockets, brain chips, or satellites. [Click Here To See The Details]( It Starts At The Top Words matter. Organizations and countries take their cues from the top. And the top of the American house has been an embarrassment for too long. Here’s a truckload of proof: Here’s Senator Rand Paul’s wife, Kelley, calling out Nancy Pelosi, for her hypocrisy: And here’s Dan Goldman, not minding his mouth: Of course, SCOTUS did no such thing, but that’s HuffPo for you. And here’s Jeff Bezos’ paper, comparing Trump to you-know-who. The New Republic rag just came out with this last month: All that was summed up excellently in this X post: Yes, Bill. But you’re assuming the voting machines work and we don’t have a “discovery” of mail-in ballots for only one candidate. Back to The Donald Of course, The Donald is fine. Not only did he dust himself off and clean his ear up, he made his damn tee time yesterday. And in what can only be one of the ultimate Trumpisms, he sank a twenty foot putt on the 9th green and said, “Difference between me and the shooter is I don’t miss!” Are you kidding me? Then he got dressed and headed to Milwaukee for this week’s Republican National Convention. He tore up his old speech and is writing an entirely new one based on unity. As Scott Adams says, “No one reads the room like he does.” And how about this for an added bonus: So Trump saved himself, his country, and the markets. Bullets dodged… but sadly, not for everyone. A Moment to Reflect on a Genuine Loss This brave man, Corey Comperatore, heard the shots fired, threw his family on the ground, and covered them. One of the bullets fatally wounded him. His daughter wrote an amazing tribute to him [you can read here](. The man earned his wings; I’m terribly sorry for his family that he was taken from them so early. Wrap Up Sorry for the shorter-than-expected Rude today, but JFK airport is still a disaster. I have so much more to write about this, such as the media originally saying Trump “fell down” at the rally. As my good friends say, “You don’t hate the mainstream media enough.” But I’m in New York for two weeks, and I’ll keep a weather eye out from here. In short, The Donald lived to fight for America for another day. If we have free and fair elections in this country, and they don’t kill him before then, The Donald will win in November in a landslide. He may even flip New York and California, though I wouldn’t bet on it. And let’s say a prayer for Corey Comperatore and his family. He was a brave man who was taken from his family too soon. Let’s also be grateful for what we’ve got right now. Have a great week ahead.
