Tony Hinchcliffe says "I apologize to absolutely nobody" for that Puerto Rico joke and "perhaps [a Trump rally] wasn’t the best f*cking place to do this set at."

"I love Puerto Ricans, they’re very smart people — they’re smart, they’re street smart, they’re smart enough to know when they’re being used as political fodder. Right now that is happening. I apologize to absolutely nobody. Not to the Puerto Ricans, not to the whites, not to the Blacks, not to the Palestinians, not to the Jews, and not to my own mother, who I made fun of during the set. Nobody clipped that. No headlines about me making fun of my own mother. Perhaps that venue at that time wasn’t the best fucking place to do this set at. But in any matter, to the mainstream media and to anybody trying to slander me online: That’s what I do, and that’s never going to change.”

Remember when Thomas Wictor used to talk about how ABSOLUTELY RUTHLESS Trump and his team were about vetting people who were being brought anywhere near that inner circle?

Part of the **vetting process** involves feeding the prospective new inner circle person CANARY TRAPS.

Now, if the person is HONEST, and is not leaking to the Fake News, why, they've GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

HOWEVER....

If one prospective candidate gets told Trump is about to make Marco Rubio his Sec State...

...another is told it'll be Ric Grenell...

...and another is told Trump is 'seriously considering' bringing back Mike Pompeo...

...all Trump and his team have to do in order to learn which of the the prospective new team members are leakers and **what fake news outlets they are leaking to** is watch the news and SEE which Fake News outlets...

...report that according to 'anonymous sources inside the Trump team', he's making Rubio, Grenell or Pompeo his SecState.

Understand: THESE LEAKERS DO NOT HAVE REAL ACCESS YET. And they just FLUNKED the canary trap test that would've gotten them access. Now they'll NEVER get access. If they're left in place, it'll be only to keep feeding them fake stuff so they can leak it to the fake news.

They know which person they fed the Rubion canary trap to, and which outlet that person leaked the canary trap disinformation to.

Trump's been running his own private intelligence agency since the 1980's.

Stop thinking he's a moron, would you please?

How a canary trap works:

Nov 14, 2024
In a powerful Election Night discussion, Michael Franzese and Sammy Gravano sit down with Patrick Bet-David to unpack a startling truth: even in the world of crime, loyalty and standards matter—sometimes more than they seem to in politics today. Drawing from their time as former mob bosses, they explore how today’s Democratic government could take a few lessons in accountability and integrity. Don’t miss this hard-hitting take on what’s missing in leadership today from the men who lived by their own codes.

A return to the constitution is the only solution. Anything less is just shuffleboard. Unfortunately the left has screwed us so bad in regards to who they let in that it would be next to impossible.
The primary function of government is the protection of our rights. Over the decades we have had the exact opposite.

Path to Liberty

The Founders warned us - over and over again - that power always expands, no matter who holds it.
