I regret \u200cthat my absence has given this intolerable\u200b news blog free rein to disgorge\u200c its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hey-free-beacon-leave-vivek-alone\/\" title=\"Hey Free Beacon, stop targeting Vivek!\">contemptible soft-bodied liberal ideology<\/a> upon the American people. That ends today.<\/p>\n<p>When I heard the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> was\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/ramaswamy-campaign-cuts-off-free-beacon-access-after-appearance-on-anti-semitic-youtubers-podcast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">banned<\/a> from reporting on the\u2064 Vivek Ramaswamy campaign, my \u2064first assumption was that so-called reporter Alana \u200cGoodman got busted for behaving\u2062 like \u200da trashy \u200cObama-era lib. It wouldn&#8217;t be the first time. As is often the case, my first assumption proved correct. Of course, the ban was justified.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t long ago that Goodman was saving the world from Hillary Clinton and her global pedophile\u200b network by penning heroic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-3790824\/Anthony-Weiner-carried-months-long-online-sexual-relationship-troubled-15-year-old-girl-telling-hard-asking-dress-school-girl-outfits-pressing-engage-rape-fantasies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">scoops<\/a> about Anthony Weiner&#8217;s dong. That was before she \u200dwent full Lincoln Project. These days\u200b Goodman is less interested in exposing Democratic sex criminals than \u2063she is\u2064 in \u2063trying\u2064 to undermine \u200bthe most vivacious, forward-thinking,\u2064 hard-right candidate running\u2064 for president.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m talking about Vivek, obviously. The\u2063 38-year-old pharmaceutical entrepreneur might be the\u2062 only GOP candidate with an eye to the future. The only one who has what it takes to Make America Great Again again. And no, I didn&#8217;t forget about Donald Trump. I just don&#8217;t think the former (and lawfully current) president has the stamina or strength required to purge the scourge of wokeness from \u2063our sweet land \u200bof \u2064liberty.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying that Trump embodies everything that is good and decent and honorable about the American spirit and the God-centric ideals our Founding Fathers fought to realize. Nevertheless, as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-dems-balk-at-passing-major-gun-control-reforms-ahead-of-election\/\" title=\"Virginia Dems Balk at Passing Major Gun-Control Reforms Ahead of Election\u00a0\">single-issue voter<\/a> who is only concerned with how degradingly each candidate treats the libtard \u200cD.C. press, I&#8217;m afraid \u200dthat Trump has lost a step.<\/p>\n<p>Vivek, by contrast, has made me feel heard. I&#8217;ve been a lone voice \u2063screaming into the void. I tried to warn the Republican Party and all \u200cAmericans about the <em>Free\u2064 Beacon<\/em>&#8216;s depraved left-wing predilections, \u200babout the employees who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sugar-free-drinks-linked-to-weight-loss-lower-diabetes-risk\/\" title=\"Sugar Free Drinks Linked to Weight Loss, Lower Diabetes Risk\">drink diet soda<\/a>, listen to Mumford &#038; Sons, and wear pants without pleats. Vivek&#8217;s campaign, unlike \u2063so many others before it, refused to play along with\u2063 the charade. Huzzah!<\/p>\n<p>Did you know it&#8217;s been more than five \u2063months since \u2063Trump even \u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2023\/05\/02\/trump-manhattan-criminal-probe-reporters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tried<\/a> to kick \u200da journalist off his plane?

That he\u200c sent campaign\u200d aides to a fancy steakhouse in Milwaukee to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2023\/08\/23\/your-one-stop-guide-to-the-first-gop-debate-00112399\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cavort<\/a> with filthy mainstream journos? And don&#8217;t get me started on his \u2064&#8221;relationship&#8221; with Maggie Haberman at the <em>New York Times<\/em>. Yuck.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u2063 interest of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-audio-think-tanks-star-lawsuit-witness-admits-to-tommy-robinson-that-they-bribed-him-for-testimony-against-us-congressional-staffer\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE AUDIO: Think Tank\u2019s Star Lawsuit Witness Admits to Tommy Robinson That They Bribed Him For Testimony Against US Congressional Staffer\">full disclosure<\/a>, I should mention that I&#8217;ve \u2062known Vivek for many years and no doubt played a role in shaping his political philosophy. We first met \u200con a beach in Pattaya, Thailand, circa\u200b 1990. I was taking\u2064 a \u200cmuch-needed vacation after mopping up \u2062Khmer Rouge guerrillas in the jungle. \u2063Vivek was hanging around with some Aussie bloke named Julian Assange.\u200d Huge nerd, absolutely toasted on MDMA, would not shut up about &#8220;the internet,&#8221; and how &#8220;we&#8217;re all connected and we don&#8217;t even know it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I guess Vivek must have been around five years old. It didn&#8217;t strike me as odd at the time. \u200cI&#8217;d just assumed Julian was\u2064 trafficking him. He had the dead-eyed look of a child soldier. Plus I was pretty trashed\u2062 on Quaaludes between 1984-1991.\u200b I had to quit\u2062 when things started to\u2063 heat up in \u200dYugoslavia, but that&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/culture\/gohmerta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">another story<\/a>. Turns out Julian was right about the internet being a\u200b big deal, and that&#8217;s how Vivek and I stayed\u2062 in touch over the years.<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t see each other again until around 2012 \u2063in Kerala province, India. A &#8220;local nonprofit&#8221; had hired Bill Clinton to speak to some villagers. They packed them all into a soccer stadium and\u200c by the time he \u200cwas done, all their homes had been bulldozed to make way for \u200ba Bauxite \u200bmine. It was a good chance for \u200bVivek and me to reconnect and ruminate on the beauty of capitalism. Several years later, the \u2062kid made a fortune after persuading a bunch of Wall Street jockstraps to invest in an Alzheimer&#8217;s drug that didn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s\u2064 precisely the sort of bold capitalist leadership we need in the White House. We don&#8217;t need a washed-up steak salesman who peddles NFTs and mugshot cardigans. America deserves a cutthroat killer who treats journalists the way\u200c they deserve to be treated (like shit) and is\u2063 willing to do whatever it\u200b takes to win big. There&#8217;s no reason Vivek can&#8217;t do for America what\u200b he did for me.<\/p>\n<p>What he did was get\u2062 me in early on his pharmaceutical IPO. I cashed\u2064 out and took home a hefty bag.\u200d I wish I hadn&#8217;t reinvested so much of it in GorkaCoin, but that&#8217;s\u200c life. I&#8217;m doing just fine. Writing less. Microdosing more. Macrodosing on the weekends. Reconnecting with former lovers. Shielding assets from former wives. The usual.<\/p>\n<p>You may not see my byline as much these days, but rest assured that I will never stop holding \u2064the <em>Free Beacon<\/em> accountable.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bifford F.
