Navarro is not a leader, he is a technician. They are completely different roles. He is a quintessential staff officer, loyal, dedicated, brilliant, resourceful. Leaders are lazy and well spoken. Vance fits that mold reasonably well. Leaders often can’t be trusted. That also fits Vance, but not Navarro. The country is never going to be run by truly good people through and through. Those people just don’t have the aggressiveness to be ruthless when needed. We are stuck with what we have. We just have to hope this time we get a coterie of Navarro’s supporting Trump and not a bunch of lazy would-be leaders. His picks for the Departments really matter. They matter more than he does.

It is disingenuous to call a new leader, such as Vance, lazy and say they can’t be trusted. Who are you to demonise them before they even start. Stop condemning and get behind everyone in the team! Without unity America will fall. Be a voice for change and support instead of a cowardly keyboard destroyer.

You go Vance and show the naysayers what you will do for America!!!

Professor Navarro is a policy wonk. However, he is the only academic economist that started warning US leaders in 2006 that China was going to eat our lunch. Because he continued with those warnings, he is considered a “fringe economist”. He was right about China. We can’t go to war with China over Taiwan because China makes the components that make up the parts that make up our military equipment. China owns the US now.

Such optimism. I know of several people with Stage IV cancer who were told they would be dead in a month , one being my late step father, who fought courageously, refused chemotherapy, never stopped smoking, had hands laid on him by 4 dutiful and faith-filled women, who lived another 15 years to tell his testimony (which he didn't but I do). I've know others who did different things but the one common thing they did have: THEY NEVER GAVE UP THE FIGHT!

Many power hungry elites and their greedy, spineless puppets need to finally be held accountable and true justice must prevail in order to save our crumbling country from destruction. So, "FEAR NOT", unless you have done harm to the great nation of America and the American people.

Strange, the whole thing to me, all of it, as it always has been. “Navarro ‘out of prison,’ just in time to give speech ant RNC.” What are the odds? Are all of these things scripted? I’ve never felt at home in either the Democratic or Republican parties (and have always looked at these “conventions” as alien gatherings of super rich people who have little in common with me). Of course, like many I have been fooled otherwise. But since 9/11 and especially since “COVID,” everything has become a “who the fuck are these people” moment for me.

I saw that, it does concern me, however mNRA tech is a delivery system, not a stand-alone treatment. His Fund's investment was made in 2021, I have not seen the company having delivered a Covid product which for me would be a horrific red flag. It is possible that this tech, although IMO it's future seems horrifically bleak, may have merit in cancer treatment.

Of course it will have "merit". That's why they seeded the country with the off the charts dioxin (E Palestine derailments- thanks Vance for helping create the cancer market so you can clean up via your investments- yeah that was on his watch in Ohio!). Young and energetic, grew up poor so he must be a dude with a conscience who will stand up for you and I against the Crown bloodlines really running the show. Theil has no expectations for his 10mil to get Vance in the game. He isnt trying to put you in a FEMA camp or anything. And he definitely isn't trying to hack your neurons or genes. He is just a super cool super smart super gay entrepreneur and isnt that what we all want for our kids? Let's just take more hopuim and unite and everyone will be released from their slavery contracts and they will remove the RFID chip sets they have in everyone and stop spraying the skies and ditch vaccinating and bombing babies to make way for condos and best of all they will all start telling the truth! Utopia around the corner. Just vote correctly kids. "Give Vance a chance" cuz not all.politicians are immoral and controlled by Intelligence. That's crazy talk. Look how generous they are to those poor people from other countries just trying to get their piece of the American dream. Stop being so selfish and give them one of your extra bedrooms!!!

On Vance/East Palestine

Just checked to see how Vance responded to the East Palestine spill. It seems to me he did a credible job addressing the problem and calling for the administration to step up (see links directly below).

I don't see his Funds one off investment in mNRA research profiting from environmental cleanup. Yes, mNRA research is touted to be useful in cancer cures, but I don't see the direct link you feel is there.

Vance/growing up poor=good guy

I would never make that kind of a judgement. Al Capone grew up poor, how did that work out? If someone else makes that judgemental leap of faith, that is their view of the world in action in action not mine.

I have no idea if he is good. He appears to be capable, to be ambitious, to want to be well regarded, let's see if that translates into staying on message with Trump's plans to resolve the US's many problems.

As for "Utopia around the corner", neither Trump nor Vance are offering that, they are offering a return to an earlier time of American productivity if we all work together to pull it off.

Vance/illegal immigration

I am not sure how you see Vance on illegal immigration, but I think this is his take on it.

This nation has had a legal immigration program since it founding. It has overall worked well, and the nation is the better for it.

What is happening now, what you refer to as "those poor people from other countries" is mass illegal immigration, notable for its unfettered allowance of undocumented, unchecked, unregulated arrivals.

Do they have criminal records? Do they have disease? Do they have mental illnesses? Are they trafficking children? Are they being sex trafficked? Are they cartel members? NO MATTER, they are allowed in.

And once in they are given free: transportation, housing, money, food, education, medical care. Do legal immigrants receives such generosity? No. How about citizens? Nope. So what the hell is this???

I personally see illegal immigration as an effort to seize permanent control of the government by creating a vast pool of people who you pay to vote for you. If any see it as helping the less fortunate, I have a bridge I would like them to take a look at.

I think people tend to view politicians as if they were fruit picked off a tree, they aren't. They exist in the real world, have real businesses, relationships, families, etc.

A question to ask is; what are his other investments, his other businesses, his view on the entire covid debacle, on vaccines, on the Pharm industry's grip on government? I would want to know a hell of a lot more about his activities and opinions before I decide one investment by a Fund he owns an interest in is a reason to hang him out to dry.

The mNRA tech area was and still is seen as a Gorgon's knot, something that if it can be untangled will yield major reward. I see it as a bottomless money pit, but that's me.

The problem with Vance is the same problem with everyone in government, namely they are assumed innocent until proven guilty. When it comes to government operators it should be the other way around. Stop identifying as a D or an R. They're all on probation. No excuses. Our constitution should be our guide. Few Americans have even a cursory understanding of the sacred document.

I'm concerned about installation of "let's turn the page" officials in a prospective Trump admin. No, no, and no. These quislings need to be held accountable, and perhaps the best people to realize that accountability are those like Navarro who have felt the pain of tyranny acutely, personally.

You have zero justification for that "fear".

How about fearing for Nuclear War caused by those who own the Democrat Party? You want to die? You want your kids to die? You want billions to die? Do you have the remotest idea what is happening in Ukraine? How your Democrat/UNI-Party/Neocon government has destroyed a great country and massacred its people with a psychopathic, extreme, sick, demented lust for power.

Maybe you might fear that without Trump/Vance we may be on the edge of the abyss.

No doubt about it. The typical Neoliberal strategy. Force a country into massive debt.

That certainly is one demographic they may be considering.

Alternatively, it perhaps is planned as the all new, all improved, Israel 2.0. That is based on Zelensky saying Ukraine would be the "new Israel" awhile back.

That's not happening. And Zelensky is on his way out, if he isn't assassinated. Israel may well be sacrificed by the psychopaths, Iran is a much bigger prize than Israel. And so is Ukraine. Other than that, the only people they care about are the inner circle of demented psychopaths.

Yes the CIA wants us to believe there are these Nuclear Bombs so we will be afraid of war with Russia and decide to make peace with Russia, negotiate over Ukraine, resume trade, don't blow up their pipelines and everybody wins in a live and let live world of cooperation, peace, freedom and mutual respect.

Yep, that's what the CIA really wants. Yep. That's why they want us to be scared of Nuclear war. No, they don't want us to continue wasting $trillions on stupid dangerous wars all over the World and try to control the entire World for the benefit of the Bankster empire.

ALL Jews call Trump “Hitler!” Why?

ALL Jews blame you for doing to them what ‘they’ are doing to you right now.

This causes ‘cognitive dis-perception’ & allows the Jews to get away with the greatest delusional BS: “Holocaust!”

So ’Honey’-after Creepy Pedo Joe and his crackhead son and Crime Family Gangsters have taken bribes of $50M!

from ALL our Commie rivals, YOU are afraid that Trump (who had ALL his cabinet chased, tried, convicted on ‘Trumped Up’ (sorry!) charges, and the 2KIKES, Mayorkas & AG Garkand are allowing 100,000 kids to die of Fentanyl EVERY YEAR!, you are afraid that there might be BLOWBACK-??

Actually from what I can tell most Jewish people overall have a positive impression of Trump. A lot of his businesses funding came from Jewish owned organizations/funds and AIPAC certainly holds him in high regard. Frankly I am more worried about Vance and Trump supporting Israeli than worried about some Jewish people somewhere calling him Hitler.

I agree, historically Presidents have had free reign to access/keep their own records. Clinton keep top secret documents in his sock draw, and that was totally OK.

As for the designation of top secret, once a President says docs are declassified, that's it, they are.

And no president has been charged with crimes committed during their Presidency, for example Obama murdered two US citizens, one a 16 year old boy apparently on a whim. Did anything happen, no.

It gets even worse. Now they are admitting they had 3 snipers in the two story building next door, which had a half dozen windows overlooking the roof where the kid was, with his rifle, and even took pictures of him from the window and reported it on their radios. Couldn't be bothered shooting him from out of the window. They could easily have shot him in the arm or leg and taken him for questioning. And nobody pulled Trump off the stage.
