“Hello, everyone. I love you all,” deposed President Donald J. Trump said as video launched the start of rebel manufactured homeowner and award-winning performer Kid Rock’s concert tour, per Breitbart. “I know you’re having a great time at the Kid Rock concert tonight,” Trump continued to a cheering crowd. “Quite frankly, he’s amazing. All of you in attendance are truly the backbone of our great country. Hard-working, God-fearing rock-and-roll patriots.” Referring to the performer by his given name, Robert Richie, Trump said: “Bob is truly one of the greatest entertainers of our time. Not the best golfer by any means, his golf game could use a little work, but a great, great entertainer, and that’s why you’re there.” “Let’s all continue to love one another, fight for our God-given freedoms, and most of all, let’s make America rock again,” Trump concluded as he put on a red MAGA-styled hat reading “Make America Rock Again.” That was a positive highlight from recent Trump activity that also included another one of his Saturday rallies. But on a less positive note, the deposed 45th President of the United States (POTUS) has taken flak from some of his own supporters over a recent endorsement in the Pennsylvania U.S. Senate primary contest. Trump has also had pushback on his failure to pivot with respect to the controversial COVID19 treatment dubbed a vaccination or ‘jab’ as millions call the shot.
(Caution if kids present, the language from Kid Rock in this video is salty)
Provided by the WND Newscenter to MHProNews is the following report on pushback from some of Trump’s own supporters.

‘Worst possible’: Conservatives not thrilled with Trump picking Dr. Oz
Say popular TV star ‘has pushed for gun control and abortion many times’
By Joe Kovacs
Published April 10, 2022 at 4:49pm
Former President Donald Trump this weekend endorsed best-selling author and TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz in his Republican run for the U.S. Senate, but some on the political right are less than enthused by the pick, calling it the “worst possible.”
“I’ve known him for a long time. He’s a tremendous guy, very smart, Harvard educated,” Trump said of Oz in an interview with Newsmax TV.
“He went to the Wharton school of finance, and he also went to Penn medical school. That’s a pretty unusual combination. And he’s just been a very strong, reliable guy – loves the state; loves the people – and he’ll be a great senator.”
Trump issued a written statement about Dr. Oz, stating:
“This is all about winning elections in order to stop the radical-left maniacs from destroying our country.”

“The Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has a tremendous opportunity to Save America by electing the brilliant and well-known Dr. Mehmet Oz for the United States Senate.
“I have known Dr. Oz for many years, as have many others, even if only through his very successful television show. He has lived with us through the screen and has always been popular, respected, and smart. He even said that I was in extraordinary health, which made me like him even more (although he also said I should lose a couple of pounds!).”
“He has authored more than 350 original publications, written eight New York Times bestsellers, and received patents for developing medical devices that have improved countless lives and performed thousands of life-saving heart operations,” Trump continued.
The former president praised Oz for being “pro-life; very strong on crime, the border, election fraud, our great military, and our vets, tax cuts; and will always fight for and support our under-siege Second Amendment. “He will ensure America will become energy independent again.”
Trump said Oz “passionately believes in high-quality education and protecting parent involvement throughout the process. Perhaps most importantly, I believe that Mehmet Oz will be the one most-able to win the general election against a radical left Democrat looking to do unthinkable harm to our country.”
“Women, in particular, are drawn to Dr. Oz for his advice and counsel,” Trump said. “I have seen this many times over the years. They know him, believe in him, and trust him. Likewise, he will do very well in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where other candidates will just not be accepted. He knows his job is to serve every single Pennsylvanian. Dr. Oz is smart, tough, and will never let you down.”
But despite Trump’s high praise, there are voices on the political right who are reacting negatively.
“It’s like Donald Trump’s staff is sabotaging Trump by convincing him to make the worst possible endorsements,” said popular syndicated radio talk-show host Erick Erickson, an evangelical Christian.

At the Liberty Daily, commentator J.D. Rucker said although he still supports Trump, he is “annoyed” by the selection, as he calls Oz “the latest RINO to get Trump’s endorsement.”
“I will not support Dr. Oz,” said Rucker. “He is neither a proper representative of the Republican Party nor is he someone who embraces the America First philosophy that Trump helped bring to the forefront. Dr. Oz has pushed for gun control and abortion many times in the past, among other very ‘progressive’ stances.
“Some will say that Trump was in the same boat as a former Democrat who endorsed similar stances. The difference is we saw a demonstrable shift in Trump over the years as he softened on both his former pro-choice stance as well as his pro-gun-control positions. We haven’t seen that with Dr. Oz.
“It wasn’t until he decided to run as a Republican that he started trying to erase his past. The comparison in ‘evolutions’ between Trump and Dr. Oz are not valid.”
Rucker continued: “Despite having strong America First values that defy globalism and promote freedom, Trump has surrounded himself with people who did not share those values. He had in his White House people like Omarosa Manigault, Rex Tillerson, Reince Priebus, H.R. McMaster, and a dozen others I could name off the top of my head who defied the values that Trump espouses.”
Rucker did not limit his criticism of Trump to his endorsement of Dr. Oz. He noted his irritation with Trump’s “continued promotion of the [COVID] jabs.”
“Considering all we know about the adverse reactions, lack of efficacy, and the conspiracy of indefinite jabs that is manifesting before us, I really wish he’d stop bragging about them,” Rucker noted. “He’s against mandates so I’m not ready to drop support over the jabs. It’s just annoying.”
The open Senate seat is being vacated Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who is not seeking reelection.
At least six other Republicans besides Oz are vying for the GOP nomination, including David McCormick, Carla Sands, Kathy Barnette, Jeff Bartos, Sean Gale and George Bochetto. ##
Additional Information, more MHProNews Analysis and Commentary
Once the Trump video posted above ends, you see Kid Rock bounding on stage singing his newest attack on Joe Biden, “We The People.” A chorus of “Let’s Go Brandon,” a euphemestic stand-in for “f-ck Joe Biden,” along with f-ck the media, and more are heard. Ritchie told Fox’s Tucker Carlson in March “f-ck Fauci.”
MHLivingNews previously reported the release of that song. By Robert “Bob” Richie, a.k.a. “Kid Rock.” Again, for adults who have young ears or eyes nearby, or who want to avoid “R” rated type content, a word of caution is warranted for the content linked below. It’s salty.
Per Breitbart on that interview by Carlson, Kid Rock was asked: “You speak for many when you say that. Did you believe him at the beginning, Fauci?”
Rock explained, “I believed in all the bullshit at the beginning. We were kind of shooting this documentary. I’m, like, so embarrassed. I’m in here spraying off UPS packages, spraying on the doorknobs, and a couple of months of that shit, I’m like, what?”
Ritchie added, “So this pretty much is knocking out old, overweight, unhealthy people? I’m like, I’m good, and so are most of most of my friends. After people started getting it, you know some people have a little worse than others, but it was nothing. I don’t want to, you know, to throw any shine on people who had a bad time or passed away with it. It’s horrible when anyone is lost. But to me, I was like, this is some bullshit, all this mask shit. It’s all the disinformation. It’s in the world now at every level. You don’t know what to believe.”
Rock remains a big supporter of Donald Trump, despite the push for the now controversial COVID19 treatment that has been labeled as a vaccination. During the same interview with Carlson, Rock noted that there is “no comparison” between a speech by Joe Biden and one by Donald Trump. Ritchie noted “how sharp [Trump] is, it’s incredible.”
“You can see how you watch a Joe Biden interview and the Trump interview,” Kid Rock added. “You are just like there is no comparison. And yeah, Trump, he speaks off the cuff. Sometimes you get it wrong. But I’d way hear someone get it wrong once in a while. At some level, everything was scripted. I’ve stood next to him in the White House with the prepared notes and watch and read one sentence and like, let’s go. You are like, this is awesome.”
Some related reports on these topics are linked below. Rock’s description of at first believing all the “BS” and over time realizing that he and millions of others had been taken in by a deception is a common reaction, and is thus useful to those who may not have yet gone through that awakening.
News is supposed to inform. Good or authentic media, evidence-based opinion, and factual viewpoints based on sound reason can provide guidance to others as to what can be done to correct wrongs and fight injustice.
MHProNews has, as has routinely been disclosed, an agreement with WND to republish their content with the appropriate credit. Apparently, based on the visual and written evidence, the Daily Angle has made such an agreement with WND too. The Daily Angle news and views website has as their tag line: “Relevant content in a chaotic world.”
One of the articles the Daily Angle republished is the one below.
The solution to Big Tech and the oligarchs
Source: WND’s Email to the Editor
Anyone who thinks Big Tech will be reined in by regulations has not been paying close attention. The following cases exposed years of documented corporate, regulatory and accounting failures. They spotlight massive corruption and mainstream media misses.
- Enron
· Theranos
· WorldCom
· VW “Diesel-Gate”
· Solyndra
· Bernard “Bernie” Madoff
· WeWork
· Lehman Brothers
· Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (Government Sponsored Enterprises/GSEs).
Collectively, that list involved hundreds of billions of dollars in losses by investors. Various types of fraud, corruption and deception occurred. Because taxpayers and the broader economy were impacted by Lehman Brothers and GSEs housing-finance scandals, those cost Americans trillions of dollars.
John Kenneth Galbraith said: “Regulatory bodies, like the people who comprise them … become, with some exceptions, either an arm of the industry they are regulating or senile.” Bingo.
Modern robber barons are dominating information and capital. Cold Fusion’s documentary about the Theranos’ scandal observed: “It’s the illusionary effect where if you repeat a lie enough times people start to believe it, especially if you have credible names surrounding the product.”
Problematic products are from corrupt companies.
Theranos’ Elizabeth Holmes is shown with then Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama. In the massive Enron scandal, Ken Lay and Jeff Skilling are shown with then President George W. Bush (R). Those establishment politicians are sufficient to make the point of the “illusionary effect” of “repeating a big lie enough times” when “credible names” are involved.
Harry Markopolos and his colleagues spent years trying to get public officials and mainstream media to expose the massive Bernie Madoff fraud they knew existed. Forbes says Madoff losses may have exceeded $50 billion.
Other regulatory failures are hiding in plain sight. The New York Times quoted Warren Buffett: “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”
Buffett’s “class” profited wildly in the 2008 and 2020 economic upheavals. How? CNBC quoted billionaire Bill Gates: “I didn’t even want to meet Warren because I thought, ‘Hey this guy buys and sells things, and so he found imperfections in terms of markets, that’s not value added to society, that’s a zero-sum game that is almost parasitic.'”
The CDC defines parasitic: “A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.”
Buffett said, “The most important thing for me is figuring out how big a moat there is around a business. What I would love, of course, is a big castle and a big moat with piranhas and crocodiles.”
When carefully examined, these oligarchs and their businesses employ “parasitic” “moat” and “sabotage monopoly” methods. They create a slow-motion monopoly of various markets. Experts like James Schmitz say monopolies “inflict great harm on low- and middle-income Americans.”
The solution? Enforce existing laws. Break these pernicious giants up. They cause social, economic and moral harm. Once broken up, watch the economy and America soar. ##

As a stating the obvious disclosure, that letter was obviously by this author. The DailyAngle noted that “The post The solution to Big Tech and the oligarchs appeared first on WND.” It has been approaching a year since that op-ed was submitted by this writer for MHProNews to WND for publication. As a reminder, the Daily Angle’s tagline: “Relevant content in a chaotic world.”
Good content that is properly researched remains relevant. The observations and tips in the above are as relevant today as the day it was first posted by WND, and later by the DailyAngle.
The following from the later’s about us page includes some interesting thoughts: “DailyAngle.com is a content distribution website covering the hottest issues of the day in national and international politics, cultural trends, religious freedom, the free press and everything significantly relevant to the current state of America. This nation’s citizens are rapidly experiencing the greatest loss of freedom in America’s history, though many seem completely unaware of it. With the largely invisible growth of societal control by super-wealthy Big Tech monopolies, a pandemic creating chaos and fear in people throughout the world, and an increasingly unstable political situation in America, it is more important than ever to highlight the truly relevant developments that are shaping the future of America and her citizens.
In short, we are here to provide the best angle on current events and trends, to help YOU understand where our country and culture are headed.”
MHProNews is preparing several deeper dive reports, one of which is for another publication. Stay tuned for updates on that and for those coming on MHProNews or MHLivingNews.
But to sum up and provide links for more information, the case can be made that clearly,
- A) early engagement in the election cycle is important. It is the voting in primaries that determines who the final candidates will be in a given general election. The controversy over Trump purportedly being advised to support “RINO” candidates is hardly new, but is relevant. While many of those “Republican in Name Only” or “RINO” candidates may vote with their party most of the time, those are the ones that periodically peel off and vote with Obama-Biden corporate Democrats.
- B) election integrity matters. In France’s recent election, paper ballots were used. Voter ID was used. No mail in ballots in the manner widely deployed during the 2020 U.S. election cycle occurred. For elections to have meaning and trust, the system has to be as fraud and cheat proof as possible. Who said? Bipartisan election integrity commissions that included former Democratic President Jimmy Carter. The report linked below also shows several prominent Democrats that previously warned against (and by implication, supported) election integrity efforts akin to what Republicans want.
“Mr. President, Please Finish It.” – plus, Sunday Weekly Headlines Review
- C) Staying current on broad national developments as well as industry specific topics both matters. Who said? Businessman and media mogul Donald J. Trump, prior to running for office.
- D) As the Daily Angle points out, there is a need in America to peel back information from a range of sources and distill down the realities vs. smokescreens and obscured agendas. As Tom Hardiman of the Modular Home Builders Association (MHBA) said about a year ago, the Biden Administration’s legislative agenda was packed with “political payoffs.” Why hasn’t the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) been as muscular as MHBA or the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) in calling out apparent disconnects and purported corruption?
- E). So, get and stay informed. Get and stay engaged in local, state, and national political issues. Vote and support candidates. Once elected, officials have to be held to account for the fulfillment of their campaign promises. Eternal vigilance is necessary. This is all necessary for the reason quoted in the Tampa Free Press: “Politics is a dirty business,” said author Will Shetterly, who added “but if you do not do politics, politics will be done to you.” For other topics related to these issues raised above, see the linked reports.
- F) And of course, promoting manufactured housing specifically to the broader public is what MHProNews has periodically done for years, but with increasing frequency in 2022.
