Yesterday, Vivek Ramaswamy teased having a “big announcement” to make today (Monday). Here was his official post to X on Sunday: Big announcement tomorrow, starting in the heart of America: Butler County. pic.twitter.com/BpmyRyBt33 — Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) February 24, 2025 The “big announcement” hasn’t been a very well kept secret….Vivek is officially running for Governor of Ohio! News began to leak out all weekend long: JUST IN: Vivek Ramaswamy is officially jumping into the race to become Ohio’s next Governor, running on a promise to implement DOGE-style reforms across the state of Ohio.https://t.co/fNVmvh8qDx — Proud Elephant (@ProudElephantUS) February 24, 2025 Launching the VivekForOhio.com website really let the cat out of the bag…. Here’s what the homepage looks like: VivekForOhio lists the following as Vivek’s vision for the state: There’s a new Industrial Revolution underway around the world right now, and I believe deep in my bones that we can lead the way again. I want Ohio to become the leading state in the country to grow a business; the leading state in the country to raise a young family; the leading state in the country for kids to get a world-class education, starting from a young age, where they excel in math, reading, writing, and critical thinking; the leading state in the country where we give young people the tools to be victors (not victims) in a global economy; the leading state in the country where we embrace capitalism and meritocracy, instead of apologizing for it; the state where we take a hatchet to red tape and regulations; the bleeding-edge of innovation in the sectors of the future, from aerospace to AI to semiconductors; the state where patriots across the country pack their bags to flock to, instead of Florida and Texas; I want Ohio to become the STATE OF EXCELLENCE. That’s where I’m going to lead our state, and you can take that to the bank as a modern-day Northwest Ordinance. We’re a conservative state, and it’s time for us to finally be governed like one. And also this in “Fighting for the Truth“: I believe in merit and the rule of law, I believe the people we ELECT to run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government, and I believe we stand for TRUTH, and we can speak the TRUTH without fear of retaliation from the government. God is real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels are a requirement for human flourishing. Reverse racism is racism. An open border is not a border. Parents determine the education of their children. The nuclear family isn’t a bad word, it is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. Capitalism is the best system known to man to lift us up from poverty. There are three branches of government, not four. The U.S. Constitution is the strongest and greatest guarantor of freedom in human history. Hard to disagree with anything on that list! Well said Vivek! Vivek tells NBC News that while he plans to trim the fat in Ohio, he has a vision for Ohio that is “more expansive” than just “DOGE for Ohio”: Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who will declare his candidacy for governor of Ohio on Monday, wants to reshape public schools, cut regulations and slash spending. It’s a disruptive agenda that sounds a lot like the one that Ramaswamy helped draw up for President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. But in an interview with NBC News ahead of his campaign launch, the former Republican presidential contender hesitated when confronted with that observation. “There are a lot of people sort of eager to sort of make that analogy and characterization,” Ramaswamy said. “But I think I characterize my vision for Ohio expansively.” Divorcing DOGE from Ramaswamy’s bid for governor is nevertheless a tricky exercise. Ramaswamy, 39, had been expected to execute the Trump administration’s cost-cutting initiative alongside billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk. He said his decision to step aside before DOGE was officially up and running reflected a realization that the job would prevent him from campaigning and a belief that he could be more useful to the cause back home in Ohio. “President Trump, Elon and I had a great relationship but talked about exactly where each of us was going to drive maximum change for the country,” Ramaswamy said. “And, for me, I believe that leading from the front here in Ohio and setting an example for the rest of the country and, frankly, even bringing some of the principles of efficiency and spending and deregulation to our state would be the way that I as a leader would be able to have the biggest impact.” Ramaswamy’s association with DOGE, and the Trump administration’s overall push to reorient federal government and slash spending, could help position him as a change agent even as he runs to extend 16 years of GOP control in Ohio. It could also be a liability. Ohio has a sizable number of federal employees, and there are concerns in the state about the future of federal Medicaid funding. In a recent CNN poll, 51% of respondents said they believe Trump has gone “too far” in cutting federal programs. (Another 32% said Trump has “been about right” and 17% said he has “not gone far enough.”) “I think the way we’re going to do it in Ohio, the way we’re going to run the state, is going to be, I believe, wildly popular with everyone who is a parent and has skin in the game for the next generation,” Ramaswamy said when asked if he worried about political fallout. Ramaswamy filed paperwork earlier this month to begin raising money for the race and is expected to kick off a statewide announcement tour Monday night in Cincinnati. His long-anticipated campaign has shaken up the GOP field in the Buckeye State, where Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, is barred from seeking a third consecutive term. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost entered the race earlier than expected, in mid-January, following the first round of buzz about a Ramaswamy campaign. State Treasurer Robert Sprague, who had been preparing to run and initially signaled that Ramaswamy’s plans would not affect his own, threw his support to Ramaswamy this month and instead launched a bid for Ohio secretary of state. Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel, the former Ohio State football coach whom DeWine recently picked to be his deputy, has also stoked speculation that he might seek the GOP nomination and has not ruled out the possibility.

Joe Biden is back! We haven’t seen this guy in weeks (and life has been good, hasn’t it?). But a new video shows Joe Biden out and about but there’s only one thing everyone wants to talk about: the big bruise on his face. You can see it here: But actually, it’s easier to see in moving video. So watch here: Creepy Joe out and about with bruises on his face. Otherwise he’s still the same senile POS. pic.twitter.com/HAjqTJeKnK — Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut) February 23, 2025 Backup video here if needed: Joe Biden was seen out and about with bruises on his face.

Did Sleepy Joe take another fall….or has he joined the Black Eye Club? Adrenachrome “Black Eye Club” Finally Exposed In Detail… Adrenachrome "Black Eye Club" Finally Exposed In Detail... I've written about the Black Eye Club several times before. Most recently, when John Roberts was inducted. First a little background if you're not familiar, and then scroll down for the most recent video I found giving more information than I have ever seen. What is it they say.... Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is......? And how about a dozen or two dozen? No, I'm not talking about the Clinton Kill List. I'm talking about the "Black Eye Club". Many of you have probably heard of this, but in case you haven't get ready for your mind to be blown. How many adults have you known in your life that have ever suffered a black eye? A really bad one....a huge black and blue shiner? Me? None, personally. I have never rolled into work and saw Hank in the office next door suddenly have a huge black eye on Wednesday morning. But for powerful political people and celebrities? It happens all the time! Strange, don't you think? Just take a quick look, and I think you'll be shocked: The Black Eye club. I have NEVER had a Black eye. and TBH I actually dont know anyone personally who has.Yet... pic.twitter.com/qS5BSRXc0p — Deke Savage (@big_simp) April 24, 2019 https://twitter.com/ihatematt/status/1121941782940606465?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1121941782940606465%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdeplorablefeed.com%2Fwhy-do-so-many-politicians-and-celebrities-have-black-eyes%2F What's up with the "Black Eye Club?" pic.twitter.com/etBJGnMUua — YasharAl (@YasharAl2) April 27, 2019 4)There are numerous politicians and celebrities who have had a (left) black eye.

Or something more going on? From the NY Post, here is the "official" story: Sen. Mitt Romney was knocked unconscious when he fell in Boston over the weekend, leaving him with “a lot of stitches” and a black eye. “I took a fall. Knocked me unconscious. But I’m doing better,” Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night. The Utah Republican said he was visiting his grandchildren when he got injured. With noticeable bruising under his right eye, Romney infused some humor into the situation. “I went to CPAC, that was a problem,” the Republican lawmaker joked, referring to the Conservative Political Action Conference that ended Sunday. Romney was not invited to the marquee event after receiving backlash over his vote to impeach ex-President Donald Trump. Asked how many stitches he received, Romney claimed he was not sure. “A lot of stitches. I don’t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ but it’s all through my eyebrow and my lip.” Now I told you I wasn't going to draw any conclusions...and I'm not. I don't know what is going on, I really don't. But I DO know when something is not right, and I will say that....this is not right. And this is not a coincidence. Even The Sun has even noticed the trend and had this to say (sure, it's all just "NUTTY"): NUTTY conspiracy theorists have claimed celebrities with black left eyes are marking themselves out as members of the ILLUMINATI. Actors, musicians, politicians, and even the Pope have all been snapped with shiners recently – sparking claims they are members of a secret society. Conspiracy theorists claim Illuminati recruits are forced to ‘eat pain’ during high-level initiation rituals. They claim bruised left eyes – known as ‘Illuminati shiners’ are marks given to those who have scaled their way to the top of the sinister organisation. Radio host Sherry Shriner – who wrote ‘Interview With The Devil’ – said: “You cannot be on TV now, without signing on the dotted line. “The bizarre recurrence of facial bruises on Illuminati politicians and entertainers has resulted in speculation that their souls have been replaced in a satanic ritual called ‘soul scalping'”. Shriner, who died last year, claimed all of the world’s leaders have been soul-scalped. She also claimed to have been able to speak to the devil. Among the celebs to have sported black eyes over the years are Adam Sandler, Prince Philip, George W Bush, and Liz Hurley. Prince Andrew showed off one in 2017, while Prince Phillip reportedly “woke up” with one one morning in 2013. Gossip columnist Perez Hilton claimed a black eye was given to him by Polo Molina – the manager of the Black-Eyed Peas. Pope Francis had a bad eye cut last year, which he attributed to an accident in the ‘Pope-mobile’. And George W Bush claimed he had been hit in the face by a microphone stand during a speech. And I have to end with this. Because this is the perfect ending.... https://twitter.com/MstrDebator/status/1288487213534261249 Yup. Bingo. And THAT is why they hate him. He's not in their "club".

Trouble in paradise? Is there an internal rift between Tulsi, Kash and Elon? I don’t think so, but that’s what the MSM would have you believe this morning. Allow me to explain…. A few days ago, Elon Musk sent out an email to all federal workers telling them they had until 11:59pm tonight (Monday) to respond with 5 things they accomplished in the past week: Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 22, 2025 Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation. So the email went out and immediately garnered hilarious “Office Space” comparisons: Federal employees getting emails from DOGE pic.twitter.com/rSojO3o53z — Kale Zelden (@kalezelden) February 23, 2025 If you’ve ever worked in corporate America (or far worse, government) you know how true this is: A chunk of federal employees are thinking this, when they see Elon’s explain your week of work email #SundayMorning #ElonMusk #doge pic.twitter.com/9icl7vmSfg — Neil Fotre (@neil_fotre) February 23, 2025 Elon deployed a very similar strategy after purchasing Twitter and whittling down the staff by up to 80%.  Cut the dead weight. So that’s the history, and now the latest out this morning…. According to multiple reports, Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel have each instructed their agencies to not respond to the email: Elon Musk explains his ‘what did you do last week’ email to federal workers — as Tulsi Gabbard latest to tell staff to ignore it https://t.co/062jCwtM3y pic.twitter.com/NbGTEMA0lh — New York Post (@nypost) February 24, 2025 Here’s more, from Julian Barnes: A clash between Tulsi, Kash and DOGE? I don’t think so. It’s just basic protection of national security.  Given the work those agencies do, Tulsi and Kash are wisely exempting their agencies but already cutting the dead weight in other ways. Here’s more from the NY Post: Elon Musk has further explained why he is demanding federal workers justify keeping their jobs — as newly confirmed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ordered her intelligence officers to ignore it. The billionaire Tesla founder, who leads President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), said late Sunday that the controversial message asking workers to list five accomplishments from the past week or be fired was to see “who had a pulse and two working neurons.” Musk doubled down Monday morning, warning that federal workers who do not send a list of their achievements by 11:59 p.m. would “soon be furthering their career elsewhere.” Musk explained his email to federal employees was “to see who had a pulse and two working neurons.” Despite DOGE’s threats to continue making cuts, multiple US agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Education, Commerce and Energy have instructed staffers to ignore the message from Musk’s “department,” which is not an official part of the government. Trump posts SpongeBob meme to poke fun at outrage over Elon Musk’s email asking federal workers what they did last week Gabbard, who was recently sworn in as Trump’s spy chief, followed FBI Director Kash Patel in ordering her staff not to respond to Musk’s message, the New York Times reported. “Given the inherently sensitive and classified nature of our work, [intelligence community] employees should not respond to the OPM email,” Gabbard wrote. Her sentiments echo earlier statements made by Patel, who was sworn in to his 10-year term on Friday and told his workers the next day that they should not answer the demand letter. “FBI personnel may have received an email from OPM requesting information. The FBI, through the Office of the Director, is in charge of all of our review processes and will conduct reviews in accordance with FBI procedures,” Patel wrote, according to an NBC report. “When and if further information is required, we will coordinate the responses. For now, please pause any responses.” Musk, who made similar demands during his takeover of Twitter — which he renamed X — insisted that the email demand was simply “a very basic pulse check.” Meanwhile, Trump seemingly signaled his approval of Musk and DOGE’s unusual methods of downsizing the federal workforce by sharing an edited SpongeBob SquarePants meme poking fun at those upset by the order. Bottom line? In my opinion, there’s no rift here. Just smart actions by all involved.
