D.L. Gardner: Ramaswamy knows the Truth

Vivek Ramaswamy is a 38-year old American entrepreneur who is running to be the GOP presidential candidate in 2024. He is a star who is beginning to shine brightly because he’s cutting through all of the politics that have been ruining America for more than a hundred years. 

Ramaswamy lists ten points he calls Truth on his website: 1) God is real. 2) There are two genders. 3) Human flourishing requires fossil fuels. 4) Reverse racism is racism. 5) An open border is no border. 6) Parents determine the education of their children. 7) The nuclear family is the greatest form of governance known to mankind. 8) Capitalism lifts people up from poverty.  9) There are three branches of the U.S. government, not four. 10) The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history. 

Whether people agree or not, these points are not only clear and succinct, but they direct our attention back toward times when Americans were freer from all levels of government control. There was a time when these points were opinions shared by many. Today all ten have been cancelled by popular political policies and heralded as backward, extremist, evil, and dangerous deplorable dogma.

In case you’re wondering, Ramaswamy’s allusion to a fourth branch of government is the bureaucracy which runs and controls everything. The bureaucracy has grown to control the legislative and administrative branches particularly over the past 90 years, with little interference from the judicial branch. 

More recently Americans have suffered from more than two years of bureaucracies’ reacting to “emergencies” by enacting unconstitutional powers. Wear a mask or else! Lock down at home or else! Maintain personal spacing or else! Take the vaccines or else! Change voting laws by administrative fiat and damn the Constitution! 

Ramaswamy’s tenth point, “The U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms in history.” For a long time now, no one in government has followed or abided by the Constitution. Yes, the U.S. Constitution is the strongest guarantor of freedoms if it is followed as the ruling authority. The Biden administration has made the Constitution a sham. Many view the Constitution as a “flawed document” and not worthy of any oath to defend it. 

Can today’s Democrats challenge any of the ten points? That would be an interesting debate!Americans will never hear counter points to Ramaswamy’s Truth. Fact checkers in the media have already declared these opinions to be outside of established community standards. Gatekeepers in the media don’t know any audience who not only agrees with the opinions, but who agrees with Ramaswamy all ten are Truth. They won’t waste any time on non-issues like these. 

Perhaps the first GOP debate of the 2024 campaign will propel some of these points into the public dialogue. Of all the Republican candidates so far, Ramaswamy has conducted the most positive campaign, refusing to take the bait to go negative against his competition or his detractors. That’s refreshing! 

Americans are more than ready to move beyond business as usual in politics and government. Many of us want to see plans for the future. We’re ready for a revolution to free us from the tyranny of the establishment’s control. We don’t trust the government or the media. We want a leader who knows the Truth.

I got one problem with him DL, he is promising to pardon Trump!

This kook Ramaswamy says Al Queda didn’t attack us on 9/11. Historically, the treasonous lunatics who make this claim will tell you that President Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney are responsible for 9/11.

Vivek is a talented promoter/salesman but an amateur in leadership and not very deep in his convictions.

I prefer DiSantis first, then Trump, but will vote for the GOP nominee regardless.

He's done once Trump starts referring to him as
"Ramada-Swampy".

WOW. Lots of Fondrenites on the board today, that's for sure. Rather than referring to CNN and MSNBC talking points, try doing a little research on VR yourself (of course, that will be quite difficult, as so much now runs through Google "fact checkers" and "misinformation/disinformation/malinformation" censoring algorithms.

The scholarship VR took was a VERY broad financial offering that was put in place by a Soros entity. VR didn't come from money, and he was in no way endorsing or becoming beholden to Soros by taking the same money that thousands of others took. Furthermore, if Soros' goal was to influence VR with that money, he failed miserably.

On 9/11, there are still PLENTY of questions about what happened on 9/11 that haven't been addressed (and certainly haven't been answered), so it in no way disqualifies someone running for president to ask questions!

And as for pardoning Trump, he qualified that statement: he said that, based on what the indictments claim, he would pardon him. However, if more things come out that weren't specified in the indictment, he would reserve judgement on that. Look people, love Trump or hate him, about half of the country is behind him, and they believe he's been wronged. Badly. That being said, a VR presidency could stand to heal the HUGE divide in this nation by pardoning a political figure of that magnitude. And this country desperately needs healing!

Unless you want a civil war, you need to start thinking about this stuff. The left is goading everyone they can to push it that way, and if it gets set off, it's going to be damn hard to stop..........and NONE of us should want another civil war!

From all appearances Vivek is the only candidate with any real ideas to fix the problems destroying America. If you want Pence or any of the rest of those guys you want business as usual - except for that evil Biden! Folks, Biden is of course terrible. Things have no doubt gotten worse. But it's just a ramping up of our inevitable crash due to money printing and foreign interventionism. Don't forget Trump started the increase in inflation by sending out all that helicopter money during the plan-demic.

Best Vivek quote from the debate - Vivek to Nikki Haley: “I wish you success on your future career on the boards of Lockheed and Raytheon".

Anonymous said...

@3:13, so there will be a civil war if Trump is convicted and sent to jail? I am 100% sure that is complete BS. Our country and its people are better and stronger than that.

Biden is about to roll out an all-new covid vaccine that will become mandatory for everyone. He said even if you already had the triple jab, still gotta get this one and he said, quote "this one works"

Prime time for someone radical to get elected with the front running jokes we have now

“That being said, a VR presidency could stand to heal the HUGE divide in this nation by pardoning a political figure of that magnitude.”

The fact that you think a republican pardoning another republican after seeing almost no evidence will heal a large divide completely disqualifies you from having a salient point.

Anonymous said...

The thing that most people tend to forget is that during a debate they can and will say anything they think might bring in a few votes. They do not actually mean that what they are telling people they would do if elected is what they are now saying. Most are just out right lies.
Anyone remember what Biden said in a debate? He said, and expected people to believe him, that his son has never received any money from China. The news media agreed with him and said anyone who disagreed with him and them was lying. Biden even said Trump was the only person receiving money from China.
We all see how true that was.

Funny how the old adage: "Anyone can grow up to be President" has become complete bullshit. Now, it's "any outsider to the system cannot become President."

The Federal government is broken, and all of the branches need pruning. Further, when the entire Congress votes straight down party lines, those political parties have way to much power and influence. The same with lobbyists.

But, try to talk about term limits and a balanced budget, or election, immigration, and lobbying reform with ANY politician -- you get crickets. It's not in their best interest.

Anonymous said...

I can't believe I agree with Krusatyr, but he's right about Vivek.
Vivek's "positions" more than a few times were just so bizarre and fantastical, that's it's clear he hasn't a clue about our Nation's history or laws and certainly not WHY certain laws are on the books nor does he understand our Constitution.

That some of you would have another Civil War, means you learned nothing from the first one. You STILL avoid understanding WHY the South lost. Somehow you think you will have the strategic and munitions advantage and worse, this time only 35% of the population will join you. The rest of us know you are completely NUTS! All that will happen is what has happened so far. You'll end up dead or behind bars. Smart, strategic thinkers win wars, not cultist zealots (see Hitler), Stalin got lucky ...first with Lenin and then WWII change of sides and a world too fatigued with war to stop him.

Your threats don't impress me. Even some GOP loyalists in the military will bow out with the likes of Mike Flynn as their commanding general and SURELY you don't imagine YOUR guy won't pick someone who'll bow to him. Nor will career military believe a bunch of thugs and weekend warriors are who they want to have their back!

Anonymous said...

It's more than a bit ironic to hear the party that got rid of campaign finance reform and benefits the most from PACS, is upset about it.

It was those Federalists judges you love that your party put on the court that made campaign reform " unConstitutional". Worse, you believe that their latest " help" to you in "voting reform" will not end up with YOU having no vote.

You all really ,really need to read some non-fiction history texts.

“.and NONE of us should want another civil war!”

I am in full agreement, no civil war, but not everyone feels as we do. There are some that would have no problem forcing their will on people like you and me. Some even post on this board. In their convoluted mind, they know better than the rest of us, and it would be for our own good. Just ask them.

Biden did not say the new vaccine will be mandatory. He said he hopes everyone takes it. Big difference.

Here is an eye-opening article on ZH about how Nikki Haikey went from having less than $15k on savings and over $500k in debt to being worth a few hundred million. Basically, after leaving the Trump admin she went full neocon Warhawk influence peddler for the MIC and Mossad.

I disagree. I see someone who is better informed than you. I watched his interview with Tucker. I agree with 99% of his points. My biggest problem is that his voting doesn't jive with his words. His words are only meaningless if you are an ill-informed consumer of propaganda.

Prior to y'all grabbing muskets to slay each other, please consider first doing a practice campaign wiping out the Cartels and drug labs in Northern Mexico. Perhaps clear a ten mile neutral zone, on the Mexican side, from San Diego to Brownsville. Then come back as hardened warriors to draw down on each other.

Can anyone explain how Vivek makes his money in two paragraphs or less?

Or use three paragraphs and use at least one to describe what goes on in Bermuda?

Hint: When you make guys like Mitt Romney look like they are the ones who are principled players you ight have a problem running for POTUS.

I'm a conservative. I believe too many in the GOP are not.

I've been reading and listening to a lot of Vivek. I really like his plainly stated, unapologetic values and most of his policies (assuming he's being honest about them - I'm middle aged and have become very jaded on that).

He makes me hopeful about millenials and the future. He's not a politician. He has the humility and intellect that Trump lacks, and bandwidth for the future.

The reason he's being viciously attacked by the Trumpeteers and the left is they are terrified of him... a conservative person of color. The 'progressives' save their most bitter vitriol for POCs of color. Buckle your seatbelt, Vivek...

@7:48

I’m a True Conservative and I don’t think it is right for Vivek to attack Nikki Hailey for earning millions to protect our Greatest Ally.

Haley’s primary income, aside from speaking engagements, is from United Against a Nuclear Iran, an advocacy group shrouded in secrecy.

The group, which has lobbied for military strikes on Iran, is advised by Zohar Palti and Tamir Pardo, two former Israeli intelligence officials

The Department of Justice previously intervened in a lawsuit to prevent the disclosure of United Against a Nuclear Iran's donors, claiming that doing so would "cause harm to national security."

I don’t see any conflict of interest here. Why would anyone criticize someone for earning millions as an agent of a foreign nation while running for president? What’s next? Are we going to start criticizing members of congress for having dual citizenship with that same ally?

Sure, a lot of people want a new country and government or a different country and government or a country and government more aligned with themselves culturally, Right or (less likely) Left. But nobody thinks having such is worth losing his (and almost never her) own life over; besides, The Game is coming on this weekend. Better to leave change to others but only so long as they can have it started and wrapped up before SportsCenter comes on.

To be clear: Gardner is talking about the Vivek that said: the Constitution won the American Revolution six years before its ratification by the states. Got it.

Also, this is the guy who went on Chuck Todd's show to say how Pence should have handled the vote: Pence should have proposed and passed a general federal overhaul of our election process and then apply those reforms ex post facto to the results of the 2020 election, "serving up" these new results to the prez who was then occupied with overturning the Republic in half a dozen ways. Really? Does he have any clue?

You people think this guy has rational, simple ideas?

Here's Vivek on American history: Do we really know Custer was killed by indigenous soldiers? How do we know it wasn't the Vikings?

This guy is a clown. He's insane.

Never trust a billionaire who says, "it's really just this simple"

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
