...And the word “change” itself leads directly into the 2028 presidential scenario for some semblance of “change” will already have come courtesy of 2026's mid-term election results, whether the results be for better or worse depending on one's party affiliation. But no matter the scenario other facts simply cannot be ignored.

Fact Three: the MAGA concept will still drive the discourse in 2028, but with an unexpected twist in that the one deemed by most to be Trump's presidential heir apparent...meaning Vice President JD Vance...might not be that heir after all. Why so...because (I believe) two better candidates have already been spoken about in Republican political circles, as in Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis, and our current “Secretary of State” Marco Rubio.

And why are they better candidates...because while Vance is a good, decent, and honorable man who proudly served in our nation's military, many believe, as do I, that he has not shown himself to be presidential material. Basically a newbie to the Republican party, JD Vance only switched parties and became a Republican when he first announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in July...Read entire article here.

Jeff Charles / Townhall Tipsheet 

President Donald Trump is set to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

As part of a deal with the Justice Department, those who were targeted by Democrats who weaponized the government against political opponents would be compensated, according to ABC News.

The Department of Justice is finalizing a deal to launch a so-called "Truth and Justice Commission" and establish a compensation fund of $1,776,000,000 to pay claims made by alleged victims of government "weaponization" in exchange for President Donald Trump dropping his ongoing lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service, sources told ABC News. 

"Sources told ABC News that the proposed deal -- which is likely to face legal hurdles and has already been criticized by Democrats as a "slush fund" for Trump's allies -- arose after months of deliberations between the White House and DOJ officials who originally attempted to craft a legal justification for the settlement to compensate Trump directly.
