Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Alex Jones: "Sources" Inside RFKJr.'s Campaign Say He's Dropping Out of the Race on Friday and Will Endorse... Trump?I don't believe this, but, it's Big If True, as they say. Alex JonesOne reason to think it might be is that, according to Trump-linked MXMNews,the RFKJr. campaign is nearly broke. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign is facing severe financial challenges, spending more than it raised in July, leaving the campaign nearly broke. Key Details: The campaign ended July with $3.9 million in the bank and $3.5 million in debt. In July, the campaign spent over $7 million while raising only $5.6 million. Nearly half of the fundraising came from Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan. Diving Deeper: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential bid is facing significant financial difficulties, as new reports reveal that his campaign is struggling to stay afloat. According to the latest Federal Election Commission filings, Kennedy's campaign had just $3.9 million in cash at the end of July while carrying $3.5 million in debt. This precarious financial position is the result of the campaign spending more than $7 million in July, while only bringing in $5.6 million in donations. The fundraising numbers are particularly concerning given that nearly half of the money raised came from Kennedy's running mate, Nicole Shanahan. The lack of outside financial support underscores the campaign's difficulty in gaining traction among voters and donors alike. Kennedy's campaign has been plagued by other challenges as well. Despite efforts to secure ballot access in key states, the campaign recently suffered a setback when a New York judge ruled that the residential address on Kennedy's petitions was not his legitimate home address, denying him a spot on the ballot in that crucial state. Moreover, Kennedy has been largely absent from the public eye, not appearing at a campaign event since early July....MXMNews says that RFKJr. has pitched himself to both Trump and Kamala: Is it legal for Trump to just pay RFKJr.'s campaign debt? Probably not, but maybe he could talk RFKJr. up so that Trump's donors donate to him to help him erase that debt. I'm not stoked that RFKJr. is asking for the very, very important position of AG, but maybe Kennedy would accept something like Health and Human Services. Confirming him to that position would be difficult, given that the left wing absolutely hates him for questioning the non-vaccinating Miracle Vaccines. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

MXMNews says that RFKJr. has pitched himself to both Trump and Kamala:
In a sign of the campaign's growing desperation, Kennedy has reportedly sought positions in the potential administrations of both Harris and former President Donald Trump in exchange for dropping out and endorsing them. However, these overtures have reportedly been rejected by both camps. NWIH. Take his endorsement and run. If he won't give it without getting the AG slot, tell him to pound sand.

"US job growth was probably far less robust in the year through March than previously reported, keeping pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates next month. The number of workers on payrolls will likely be revised down by 818,000 for the 12 months through March — or around 68,000 less each month — according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ preliminary benchmark revision. It was the largest downward revision since 2009."

This of course isn't the same as making him attorney general.

The DNC has not yet made a final determination about whether his campaign is hurting Trump When a credible third-party candidate is hurting a GOP candidate, the DNC will support that campaign. They'll launder DNC dollars right into it. They usually do this with Libertarian Party campaigns. If RFK were a greater threat to Trump than Harris, the DNC would be pouring cash into his campaign.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, venture capitalist Nicole Shanahan, told the Impact Theory podcast on Tuesday that the Kennedy campaign may “join forces with Donald Trump.”
“There are two options,” Shanahan said. “One is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump.” “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she added. Plus Donald Trump said Tuesday he would “certainly” be open to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. playing a role in his administration if the independent candidate drops out of the 2024 race and endorses the former president. “I like him, and I respect him,” Trump told CNN’s Kristen Holmes in an interview after a campaign stop in Michigan. It certainly seems the idea of them working together is being considered. Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at August 21, 2024 12:13 PM (JCZqz) 31

Would RFK be a worse AG than any of Trump's AGs the 1st time around?
He's a pariah to everyone in the Dem party, so he wouldn't be doing the Uniparty's bidding, unlike former Trump AGs... And he is willing to take a job, where he's likely to be put under indictment after his term is up (if past is prelude). He is a firm believer in individual rights for medical decisions...it's not a far thing to have him defend individual rights for other things... I mean, this is all to say both "who is better" AND more importantly "who will take the job" - that 2nd part, under a lame duck who will be prosecuted and hunted from day 1, is key. Like DeSantis is not taking the job. No one with 2028 aspirations will. Posted by: Nova Local at August 21, 2024 12:14 PM (exHjb) 40

The DNC and various Democratic Party aligned organizations are the ones who have been fighting RFK in court about his ballot access. Not a single Republican dollar has been spent on that effort. The same with advertising against his candidacy. The man had nowhere to go, but he is obviously a threat to Democrats. You don’t spend money and wind up lawyers where you don’t have to.
The obvious move is to bring RFK on board and gain his endorsement. But he has various positions which, if true, are odious to some voters. The DNC has spent a lot on providing that oppo research, so it is already in the can. I think there is a deal to be made. If he wants an office make him Interior Secretary. He is fairly passionate about those issues, he’s an avid sportsman, etc. provided you could rein him in that’s a good spot. Just make sure he doesn’t interfere with the effort to drill oil on federal land. Posted by: Marcus T at August 21, 2024 12:21 PM (LfhPO) 110

My guess is RFK sees some opening that Trump is somewhat skeptical regarding Big Pharma and vaccinations (despite making terrible decisions on these issues like full immunity on the clot shot)
Ultimately, that is RFK's main platform and if Trump is willing to let him elevate that issue a bit, why not? Plus, Trump is pissed at Big Pharma and the medical establishment and wants a little payback. Posted by: Blago at August 21, 2024 12:21 PM (wMRY8) 116

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, venture capitalist Nicole Shanahan, told the Impact Theory podcast on Tuesday that the Kennedy campaign may “join forces with Donald Trump.”
“There are two options,” Shanahan said. “One is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump.” “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she added. ---------------- Link to CTH post & video on this: http://tiny.cc/0kpizz Posted by: ShainS -- Kommie-la 2024: The Fundamental Transtarvation of America! at August 21, 2024 12:22 PM (mIj8s) 126

Like many political types, RFK Jr is very strong on one thing. His thing is vaccines. He literally wrote the book on Fauci's fraud. But the more you scratch the surface, he's completely nuts on the environment and many other things. If he were to be given a position where he handled one thing -- say the NIH -- and given a specific goal of destigmatizing good medicines that are not necessarily the most profitable to Big Pharma and dismantling the Pharma stranglehold on medicine, that'd be great. (Whether or not he'd be successful is another story.) But I wouldn't give him much more leeway than that.

It’d also help with that group of folks who generally like Trump but are unhappy with the covid vax and his covid response in general…. RFK helps with them.

The objection is not to IVF, it's to telling young women that they can defer childbirth for a couple of decades, because they can always use IVF to get pregnant.

None of these people are persuadable by rational discussion, trust me. But would the latter two of these three groups maybe just open their minds a tiny bit based on asking them to ask themselves why, if the Democrats are any good, would RFK, direct from the Camelot family, walk away from the Democrat party? Or something along those lines?

21st CENTURY RELATIONSHIPS: ‘Queer Theory:’ Biden-Harris Official Calls for ‘Queering Nuclear Weapons.’ No, Really. If you’ve been waiting for that perfect example that the rabid left is not only a threat to the moral fabric of American society but also a clear and present danger to the very existence of the United States, today’s your “lucky” day. Even better, the example comes from none other than the Biden-Harris administration. Nair’s insane argument goes like this: "Queer theory informs the struggle for nuclear justice and disarmament. Queer theory helps to shift the perception of nuclear weapons as instruments for security by telling the hidden stories of displacement, illness, and trauma caused by their production and testing. By understanding DEI as a set of values critical to security, and therefore as an element of an effective nuclear security culture, stakeholders can explore how DEI can contribute to stronger security at nuclear facilities Collectively, these principles (of DEI) can work to mitigate counterproductive work behavior and prevent disgruntled employees from becoming insider threats."

At one time, Cigarettes were advertised on TV. “9 out of 10 Doctors prefer Chesterfield!” No pharmaceutical advertising in those days however. Mucho better I think. Is that wack, or what? Overall, I think it’s sorta kinda true.
The big controversy in the 1400s or way back when, tobacco was considered a treatment or medicine. Smoking as a hobby or such was considered idleness. Even James I of England got into the act, condemning it. Pipe smokers were kind of a similar thing in recent centuries. Bosses and employers tended to profess not to like pipe smokers, who had a habit of spending way too much time poking and prodding about with their pipe. Its habit forming tendency noted. Lewis and Clark buried a cache of tobacco and other things, on the return trip the captains wrote they didn’t even bother to unsaddle their horses but immediately started digging the dirt.

The Trump campaign has plenty of money for the final few months of the campaign. There are only going to be about 2 months of ad wars after Labor Day and before Nov voting. Trump has already proven with Hillary money isn't the issue.
The two platforms couldn't be more different and both candidates are well known. Trump was already president once and despite what the left says people remember what it was like 4 years ago. I think many are forgetting the left no longer owns Twitter and social media. Being able to rebut the narrative makers on the left in real time is priceless.

JFK Jr. would actually be good as the head of the CDC, maybe great. I think the first thing he would do is what he denounced Fauci a hundred times over for refusing to do: he would commission authentic clinical trials and authentic backwards looking studies comparing the health of vaccinated children/people to unvaccinated children/people, and doing it systematically for every vaccine.
It will not be easy to find an established medical researcher who is willing to do this. They are all tainted by acquiescence in Fauci's regime of covering up this information instead of trying to expose it. Virtually everyone had to acquiesce, because Fauci controlled all US medical research funding for 40 years. Bringing in JFK might be the best way to ensure that the real information comes out. Definitely no do not give him any broader power. The guy's a flaming leftist. The only other things he's good on are election integrity and hosing out the Augean stables of the Intel agencies, but those jobs are much too critical to have in the hands of a leftist.

Although a lot of people -- even those on our side -- shit on Alex Jones, isn't he right more often than not? I don't think he's right about this, but it's 2024 and anything is possible. Doctor Jill Biden might endorse Trump as a way to keep her hated rival Kumswala out of the White House.
Posted by: Doctor Elric Blade, Esq. at August 21, 2024 12:54 PM (iFTx/) Alex Jones has had difficulty filtering the wheat from the chaff, but I think he has gotten better at it more recently. Especially since he stopped drinking. I expect he's right about this one, given that the sources would likely be the Trump team themselves, as opposed to when he's had to rely on deep state insiders.

That many of his former co-stars hate him does not speak well for Shatner . . . but remember, he's an actor, and to be successful in that world you must have a strong ego.
I guess that's part of why I would never have made it in H'wood: I'm too nice. (Though I can imagine arguments coming from two ex-wives . . .)

Let me point out the utility of the solution that South Americans have come up with for handling left wing tyranny: Right Wing Death Squads.
Posted by: An Observation sez China Joe not my president at August 21, 2024 12:45 PM (Da7Vv) Yeah, sure. And look again at Chile and Brazil and tell me honestly if you think that was a lasting solution? We're USA, we don't do half ass solutions. Ask the Japanese if its a good idea to bring yourself to the attention of the average American. Remember, we never lost a battle in Vietnam, stacking dead Communists by the tens of thousands. It was the left wing back stabbers at home who lost that war. Now we know exactly which Communist bodies we need to stack. You can't allow Stalin and Mao to live in your society.

I don't recommend that! Both my parents were 49 when they had me, and at that time in my life, I was always embarrassed that my parents were so much older than the parents of my peers.
Posted by: Chillin the most My folks had me when my Mom was 46 and my Dad was 53. When we would go places where people didn't know us, people often assumed that they were my grandparents. But I was OK with that. They had both served in WWII (Mom as a flight nurse) and had great war and depression stories to tell. I actually pitied kids with yonger parents.

He already is. Remember his rally in NYC?
He's also held rallies in places like VA which I was assured was never going to go for him. If you ignore the BS polls and look at what is really happening Trump is doing just fine. The only way he loses is if they steal it and no amount of money is going to change that. Posted by: JackStraw ___ But he's not spending real money there. Is the campaign spending a penny in NY? Again, I live in a swing state that Trump lost narrowly, I get inundated with Biden/harris ads. Not sure I've come across one Trump ad. This matters. We're reaching low info voters. Not the base that's already behind Trump. I'm always when I get pushback for suggesting something that would obviously help Trump win. An extra few hundred million in the campaign coffers would be a great thing for us. Elon gave $44 billion to open up Twitter and will probably give 50x more to Trumps campaign than Trump himself will give, we need more people like this.

RFK Jr killed his chances of breaking 10% when he picked Nicole Shanahan as his running mate. Pathetically unserious campaign which had legs at the beginning, possibly getting on the debate stage and having a Perot-esque run (1992).
Posted by: Doug at August 21, 2024 01:44 PM (yiiaB) 522
Unlike most posters here yesterday & today, I'm very encouraged that RFK, Jr. may be joining up with Trump.
Kennedy can level criticism at Harris/Walz which MAY resonate with voters who ignore everything Trump says. For example, Kennedy's anger at being denied USSS protection, and Kennedy's anger at Biden's lawfare against Trump-- these things are intriguing to me. It's stupid to wave it all away & assert that Kennedy's support will "make no difference," based entirely on polls (!). We don't know what effect Kennedy dropping out & attacking Harris might have. We. Don't. Know. Yet. Posted by: mnw at August 21, 2024 01:45 PM (NLIak) 523
Had RFK, jr. simply dropped out and then endorsed Trump, he would be worth considering. Because he whored himself out to both Trump and the Cacklin Ho, in exchange for dropping out, he demonstrates that he has no core convictions and can not be trusted. Al Gore, the manbearpig, did something similar to get a primetime speaking spot back in the 80s I believe. We all know that the manbearpig is a worthless POS and only seeks his own benefit, RFK Jr. strikes me the same way.

I think the cash deficit the campaign is playing some part in their calculations, but I think more important is the Democratic Party's lawfare against them. The dnc and their surrogates have filed suit in many states and is keeping them off of ballots in at least 2 states thus far.
