LOL We care not who pays who's bills, as long as it's not our tax dollars.
Israel is only important or not important, according to who's in charge.
The MAGA base is much more stronger, than a few finely tuned quips designed to fracture it.

Editorial perspective is a commodity, like public image. It's something rich entities buy like a status appliance or bling to aggrandize a persepctive (or a pack of lies).
None of it has much to do with boots on the ground or exposed political sheenanigans or conventional morality.
The flippant, frivolous sands of public opinion are a chaotic beast. Maybe it's a good thing that it cannot be entirely harnessed, like Rome's single neck, but deployed in self extinguishing draughts of illusion and delusion, working in some contexts, vaporizing in others.
The Intels have been trying for years to reduce the schemes to hard, repetitive science, but it still slips away from them. Nature is too resilient and diverse. Spell casting comes, and spell casting goes. The magic wands spark but no longer work like they used to.

Grok say:
Guo allegedly used his massive online following (built via social media, videos, and ties to U.S. conservatives like Steve Bannon) to lure victims, primarily Chinese immigrants and diaspora communities.
Guo promoted "fictitious businesses and investment opportunities" like a media company (GTV Media Group), a cryptocurrency platform (Himalaya Exchange), and a farm loan program.
Victims were told their money would fund anti-CCP activism or yield high returns; instead, Guo allegedly diverted funds for personal luxury (e.g., a $37 million yacht, a 50,000 square-foot New Jersey mansion, two $36,000 mattresses, and a Lamborghini).
The U.S. seized $634 million in assets linked to the fraud upon his arrest.
Guo was a close associate of Steve Bannon (former Trump adviser), who promoted Guo's ventures and was arrested on Guo's yacht in 2020 for unrelated fraud. Guo's anti-CCP stance made him popular among some MAGA figures, but the arrest highlighted how he allegedly exploited this for fraud.
As of November 3, 2025, sentencing is still pending and has not occurred.

He pissed off the Deep State and the Democrats. His media group was the most viewed content on the internet, it was where most late breaking news on Hunter Biden's grift was reported. He was taken down by the Deep State at the delight of the CCP. Also don't forget this was going on during COVID lockdowns. He was one of a few voices speaking out against the Chinese Flu.
So it should go without saying if the Feds raids his house at the behest of the CCP, then pretty much all of his ventures are going to tank and the investors are left holding the bag. Then at that point, it's easy to just pivot to a more serious financial fraud charge. A financial collapse that the Feds facilitated. It's easy to do, because the American news consumer has the memory retention of a porch light moth.

Yeah, Guo did some good things.
I stopped watching Bannon in early spring when all he did was nitpick at Trump.
Then I caught him during The 12-Day War, aka WW3, spazzing out Tucker-style that we were all gonna die.
Apparently, it was okay to Bannon that Trump kept his promise to "Bomb the Hell Outta ISIS", but Trump should have BROKEN his promise that "Iran Can't Have Nukes".
Anyway, it's all mask off, SLOPPY STEVE is a grifter and more importantly, CHUFF that he wasn't given a role. That's what happens when you leak like a sieve and claim you were behind everything Trump did and tried to Peddle that you could change Trump's mind for a little 'consideration' while employed in Trump's First Year.

Steve Bannon does not speak for the MAGA base, he is an Entertainer, and Pundit, who exaggerates to get viewers.
Everyone I know that was wrong about Trump since 2015, but came around during the 2024 election. Always calls to discuss what Steve Bannon said, like he calls the shot. He's a shock jock, of course he's going to say Trump can run again in 2028, it got your dumb ass to listen to him.
I gave up on Steve after he abandoned Breitbart and left it to the globalist, then didn't have the stomach or meddle to tough it out in Trump's cabinet in 2017 after Trump's inauguration. The only reason the FBI went after him, is because all of the misinformed MAGA base, who are convinced that he is the mouthpiece for Trump and speaks for all of MAGA, and the dumbfuck Commies believes it.

While we're discussing Steve Bannon.
I challenge anyone to find a thread from me, that I started, where I held in any esteem anything that any of these pundits said.
Sean Hannity
Tucker Carlson
Steve Bannon
Alex Jones
or any of them.
While I'm at it, I have never started a thread as the gospel about anything any Congressman or Senator said on a pundit show or on FOX news. What they say in the context of those shows never EVER, equates to action in the House or the Floor at anytime during the session. NEVER!
Trey Gowdy was a perfect example of that.
I will say John Kennedy likes to discuss what he did or does in Congress, never boasts about what he might do, ought to do, or should do. The rest of them are full of shit, all of them.
Even Trump gives less conservative hype interviews this time around. He announces his actions in a Truth Social posts.
But he told a lot of whoppers in his first term. More like every interview he gave with his intentions, the Democrats would get in position to thwart him. I'm glad he's a lot less of that now.

@Tenpoundbass sorry I missed these comments when they were first made, good shit.
In 2024, somebody said (I forget who) that in the "off-season" between elections pollsters and pundits chase controversy to try to keep their numbers and thus ad/impression cash flow going. Boy has 2025 proven that.
Roger Stone, Bannon, etc. are all fellators of whatever Sugar Daddy they can get to pay them.
Very few aren't. Victor Davis Hansen (who suddenly is no more beloved by Tucker), Dinesh, etc. are a handful of good ones, more interested in conservativism than income maxxing.

I guess Guo Wengui, that flashy Chinese billionaire from NYC who used to spoil Steve Bannon with private jets, a $28 million mega-yacht (yep, the one the FBI turned into a floating arrest warrant), Ferraris, a custom Bugatti, and a New Jersey mansion the size of a small country, finally stopped paying his bills. Now Bannon is out here swiping right on every petrodollar prince like it is the season finale of The Bachelor: Doha Drift.
Let us rewind the greatest rom-com nobody asked for.
Chapter One: The Honeymoon Years
Guo rolls into Manhattan with suitcases full of cash and a grudge against Beijing. He spots Steve, fresh off the Trump train, and decides, “You. You are my guy.” Next thing you know Bannon is broadcasting War Room from the teak deck of Lady May while Guo wires another seven figures “for the cause.” Steve hits the ZOA gala in 2017, grabs the mic, and belts, “I am a proud Christian Zionist!” The crowd loses it. Guo’s phone buzzes: transfer complete. Everybody wins.
Chapter Two: The Plot Twist Nobody Saw Coming
March 2023: FBI kicks in Guo’s penthouse door. Turns out the billions were mostly borrowed from grandma’s retirement fund. Conviction: $1 billion fraud. Shopping list: one yacht, two Lambos, a piano that costs more than a house, and enough Persian rugs to carpet Rhode Island. By 2025 Guo is trading stock tips with Sam Bankman-Fried in Brooklyn’s MDC, teaching a masterclass called “Yacht First, Ask Questions Never.” His Venmo to Steve? Permanently declined.
Chapter Three: The Glow-Up (Or Meltdown, Depending on Your Wi-Fi)
November 2, 2025. War Room lights up. Bannon, veins popping, screams, “Netanyahu’s crew are stone-cold liars! Fake intel! Greater Israel fever dreams! We need regime change in Jerusalem TONIGHT!” He even floats a three-state solution that involves turning the Old City into a Christian theme park. The same guy who once said “Bibi can do no wrong” now wants to air-drop Tucker Carlson into the Knesset with a bullhorn.
Chapter Four: Enter the Rebound
Old Steve: “Qatar funds Hamas, total evil.”
New Steve: suddenly very quiet on Doha, very loud on everything Bibi does wrong. Twitter dubs it “QATARED” and the meme writes itself. Laura Loomer storms the studio yelling “Israeli Derangement Syndrome!” Steve yells back, “Regime change or bust!” Somewhere in the Gulf, a royal accountant slides a black Amex across a gold table and whispers, “Welcome aboard, habibi.”
Epilogue
Steve paces the empty War Room set, refreshing an empty Cash App, muttering about “stone-cold liars” while the yacht he once called home sits in a federal impound lot. Moral of the story: never build your Middle East policy on a sugar daddy who is about to become somebody’s prison wife.
Grab the popcorn. Real Housewives of Geopolitics just ordered extra hummus and a side of regime change. 🇶🇦🇨🇳
