“On the Holmes Front” with Frank Holmes
Almost 10 years ago, the entire direction of the Republican Party made a 180-degree turn with one phrase.
Then-candidate Donald Trump torched an audience of Bush-supporting Republicans and won a huge landslide of grassroots support with just 10 words: “Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake.”
President Trump won the presidential nomination and the presidency by campaigning against George W. Bush—and even beat the former president’s brother, Jeb, in the process.
The Bush dynasty licked its founds—and, according to inside sources, the Bush family recently held a secret meeting where they’re planning revenge on the new Republican Party’s MAGA base to overthrow Trump’s control of the party.

In August—right after President Trump moved portraits of the two Bush presidents to a more obscure area of the White House, where fewer people would see them—George W. Bush and Jeb Bush huddled for “a secret, and potentially very consequential, event at the dynasty’s summer retreat,” reported The Daily Mail.
The purpose? Take back the Republican Party from Donald Trump and the America First movement in 2028. They want to take the GOP back to a party of forever wars, Wall Street bailouts, and presidential losses.
Some Bush insiders leaked the meeting to the media, telling them they hate President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, because they won’t listen to the old Establishment.
President Trump thinks appointing independent advisers with populist views “will serve him better because he won’t be constrained by the Deep State, but, in fact, it will not serve him well,” a former Bush official told the UK newspaper.
The Deep State wants control, and it knows it owned the country under former CIA Director George H.W. Bush and his family.
A few old hands in the RINO Republican Party have been begging George W. Bush or Jeb to criticize President Trump more loudly than they are.
“President Bush, please, man, we could use your voice right now,” said former chair of the Republican National Committee-turned-Democrat Michael Steele. “You have a voice that would resonate with a lot more Americans than some folks around you are telling you.”
Their first step is to defeat J.D. Vance—whom they never wanted on the ticket in the first place. (They preferred Marco Rubio, who had a closer relationship with Jeb in Florida.)
Polls show Vance is the front-runner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination—but the Bush family thinks its money, media connections, and Deep State ties may put an end to his candidacy.
“There’s no doubt Vance has a head start as Vice President. But I don’t think it’s locked in by any stretch,” the former Bush official told the Daily Mail. “There will be a big open field within the Republican Party” in 2028.
And the Bushes plan to march right onto that field.
The Horn told you that George W. Bush’s nephew, Jonathan Bush, is running for governor of Maine—the home of the Bush compound at Kennebunkport. Some see that as a stepping-stone to another Bush presidency. But Jonathan Bush could face problems, since he’s admitted he had “numerous physical altercations” with his wife in Massachusetts, according to court papers uncovered by The Daily Mail.
Trump nemesis Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, plans a 2028 presidential run—which is why he’s picking a fight with conservative podcast host Tucker Carlson, according to Axios, and trying to tie Carlson to Vance.
Never Trump neocon Nikki Haley’s son, Nalin Haley, is posing as a MAGA influencer… possibly to set his mother up for another presidential bid.
The Deep State may feel Marco Rubio isn’t as MAGA as he seems and is ready for a presidential run of his own.
Another Bush-aligned 2028 presidential hopeful could be former New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, the son of George H.W. Bush’s chief of staff and a close Bush family ally.
Whomever the Bush family runs, the vice president and members of the president’s family have vowed they will never let the elites steal away the Grand Old Party from the American people.
“We’re not going back,” Vance told a symposium held by Breitbart News. “The American people don’t want stupid wars and America’s jobs going overseas and wide open borders. Whether intentional or not, that was the legacy of the Republican Party that came before Donald J. Trump. I’m glad the president got us away from that Republican Party.”
“Let’s actually have a foreign policy where we focus on the interest of American citizens,” Vance continued. “Let’s have an economic policy that’s about building in the United States of America rather than shipping all our jobs overseas and getting Wall Street enriched in the process.”
America needs greater manufacturing “self-sufficiency,” he said, so we don’t wake up in a country where our children “can’t get antibiotics, because the antibiotics that were invented in the United States of America are manufactured in some foreign country.”
“That is the legacy of the Republican Party that came before Donald J. Trump,” Vance added. “We’re not going back to it.”
“Amen,” wrote Donald Trump Jr., as he reposted Vance’s remarks on the social media platform X.
“We will never let this happen,” the president’s son added.
But the Bushes and the Deep State got a glimpse of what a back-to-the-future Bush GOP might look like this week at Dick Cheney’s funeral.

Cheney’s family banned President Trump and Vice President Vance from attending. But President Joe Biden and his wife, “Doctor” Jill Biden, sat near Barack and Michelle Obama. The Bushes and the Clintons all paid their respects.
Photos showed George W. Bush joking around with 2000 presidential rival Al Gore. Former vice president and failed 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris playfully tapped the cheek of Republican Deep State asset Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.
COVID czar Anthony Fauci, Clinton crony James Carville, and MS NOW (formerly MSNBC) host Rachel Maddow all sat in the same row.
Republicans and Democrats, “conservatives” and “liberals” all laughing it up like they were part of one big party—call it a Uniparty.

“It felt like a glimpse of the country we used to be, and the country we could still be without the constant chaos Donald Trump injected into our politics,” reminisced Chris D. Jackson, a Democratic consultant.
📸 What a moment at the Cheney funeral. A light hearted exchange between old political rivals George W. Bush and Al Gore had President @JoeBiden and @DrBiden laughing along.

The Washington Post reports that Jackson caught the establishment’s eye by posting “a ceaseless stream of pro-Biden content” to Twitter and got invited to the White House numerous times. Jackson said Joe Biden was incredibly mentally sharp every single time—and still defends Joe Biden’s legacy to this day.
Why would a fanatical Democrat want to give the Republican Party electoral advice? Why would a diehard Biden dead-ender want the GOP to return to its pre-Trump roots?
Because the party of the Bushes is easier to roll, in office and out.
The Clintons, Bidens, and Obamas beat the Bush-era GOP five elections out of eight—and practically tied George W. Bush twice.
Only Donald Trump’s America First Republican Party poses any problems to the Democrats’ election, or their long-term plan to “fundamentally transform” the United States into a global dumping ground of cheap products, cheap labor, and deadly drugs.
For once, Kamala Harris got it right: “We’re not going back.”
