President Trump Says He Knows Who His Vice-Presidential Running Mate Is


Posted originally on the CTH on January 11, 2024 | Sundance

Somewhat surprising the inquisition duo, President Trump announced last night he knows who his Vice-Presidential candidate is going to be.  WATCH:

.

President Trump also explains how he would staff his new administration.  Video Below:

President Trump discusses how he will keep America out of foreign conflicts:

.

President Donald Trump shares how he would address the number of migrants who have entered the U.S. illegally.  “The largest deportation effort in American history”…

.

President Trump discusses protecting life in America:

.

President Donald Trump reacts to President Biden saying political violence is ‘never acceptable’.

.

President Trump discusses cutting government spending on Fox News.  His response on the original COVID pandemic spending issue is 100% accurate.  Additionally, President Trump is the only candidate who can talk successfully and accurately about expanding the economy to generate more income.

All other candidates talk about budget cuts and a limited economic pie [scarcity mentality].  President Trump talks about growing the economy to increase the revenue side of the ledger [abundance mentality].  Trump is correct.

.

I come at this discussion as a person who continually tries to navigate the mechanics of the silo system in Washington DC.  Additionally, many of the positions at the top of the silos, what we would consider cabinet members, have various levels of influence from ‘moderate‘ to ‘none at all‘ depending on the construct of the individual agency (silo).

As an outcome, the nuts and bolts of what we want to see happen, let’s call that generally ‘elimination of political corruption’, are slightly disconnected from how it is possible to happen given the nature of how each institutional silo is constructed.

Some silos are more impervious than others. Some cabinet members are more functionary than others, and in some instances, the deputy is more important than the primary.

To get deep in the weeds, we need to understand each silo as a completely autonomous operation; holding various levels of attachment to the overall DC system depending on how the silo is structured and, in some cases, weaponized.

Then we need to evaluate an overall skillset from a very practical, non-pretending level.  There is one shot at this, and the construct of the Trump 2.0 administration must begin with the end in mind.  That end includes accepting that one four-year term will not be enough to remove the embeds that were seeded over the course of 12 prior years.  Some systems need to be taken down to nothing, others can be steered with extreme effort by those who can operate effectively inside the machine.

The reason for a Vice-Presidential selection like Dr Ben Carson has been previously outlined {SEE HERE].  Carson appears to have the faith, stability and integrity to be a stabilizing force amid the sea of chaos that is created when a war against evil enterprise begins.

The value of having a faith servant in the role of close counsellor to President Trump cannot be overstated.  If Carson is not the correct person to take the role, Carson would be the first to announce it…. which, ultimately, makes him more qualified.

Good is going to have to battle Evil, and at the same time the entire nation will need stability, optimism and a resurgence of faith.  In short, no one is winning this political war without putting God, righteousness and prayer at the forefront as the DC temple tables are turned.  When it gets ugly, and it will get extremely ugly, something just inherently tells me, Carson will rise.

Perhaps if I expand the list, a bigger understanding will be possible.

This time I shall endeavor to put context behind the names and add some specifics to the silo challenge.

♦ Secretary of State:  Ric Grenell. 

♦ UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard

The Dept of State is the front agency for the Central Intelligence Agency.  When the CIA wants to seed an operative, they are given State Dept credentials.  Whoever is running the State Dept will have a working relationship with the CIA Director.  Grenell already knows how this works; he will be able to support the Trump Doctrine on day one with a full understanding of institutional context as the downsizing through attrition begins.

♦ CIA Director: Robert Kennedy Jr.

♦ Deputy CIA Director: Kash Patel

See how that works?  RFK Jr. can put up or shut up, but Kash Patel is the insurance policy in the event RFK Jr. is bearing false witness.  The core agenda is carried out by the Deputy, while the Director is the functionary receiving silo information to satiate the executive (Trump).  What happens in the layers below the functionary are what really matters.  Kash has eyes-on, without the distractions of the functionary role.

♦ Defense Secretary:  Vivek Ramaswamy.

♦ Asst. Defense Secretary:  Eric Prince.

Many people understandably freak out with a Def Sec with no experience in military.  However, the Def Sec is designed to be civilian led military; the President is the Commander in Chief.  The Def Sec executes military efforts to support the President.  This is the problem with having career military as Def Sec; they regard the institution as more important than the instructions they receive. [See Mark Milley and/or James Mattis and/or Alexander Vindman, they go rogue.]  The U.S. military needs to be managed now, brought to heel and Wokeism removed.  Ramaswamy, a functionary, can put up or shut up.

Again, see how that works?  Prince becomes the insurance policy.  The nuts-and-bolts guy to make sure the military silo is carefully reconstructed, and the flag officers that need to be removed and replaced are removed and replaced.

♦ National Security Advisor: John Ratcliffe

♦ National Security Council (NSC), Chair: Michael Flynn [Tasked with taking NSC from current size to 30-50]

♦ Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary: Tom Homan 

♦ Treasury Secretary: (Executive Privilege) 

♦ Fed Chairman: (Executive Privilege)

♦ United State Trade Representative: Ambassador Robert Lighthizer [restart where he left off] 

♦ Commerce Secretary:  Peter Navarro 

♦ Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC), Chair: Lou Dobbs 

♦ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Administrator: Sarah Palin

♦ Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Commissioner:  Mike Benz

♦ Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB), Administrator: Pam Bondi

♦ Dept of Agriculture, Secretary: Kristi Noem

♦ FBI Director: Matt Gaetz / Josh Hawley

♦ Deputy FBI Director: Andrew Bailey

 FBI Legal Counsel: Rudy Giuliani

♦ DOJ Attorney General:  Ken Paxton

♦ DOJ Deputy AG: John Eastman

♦ Asst. Deputy AG in charge of DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD): Sidney Powell

♦ DOJ Civil Rights Division: Mark Robinson 

♦ Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI):  Rand Paul

♦ National Security Agency, Director: Thomas Massie

♦ FEMA Director: Jeb Bush  [Yes, THAT Jeb Bush.  He’s insufferable at everything else, but he knows how to handle emergency management very effectively, and he’s bilingual.]  

♦ Office of Management and Budgets (OMB), Director: Kevin Hassett

♦ Interior Secretary: Marjorie Taylor Greene

♦ WH Press Secretary: Kerri Kupec

♦ WH Communications Director: Amanda Milius

♦ White House Chief of Staff: Dan Scavino (no question), or Kari Lake

♦ White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), Director: Steve Bannon

♦ WH PPO Deputy Director: Catherine Englebrecht

Something like that….

PS. First SCOTUS nominee:  U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen

Appeals Court Asks if President Trump Has “Absolute Immunity” When Ordering Assassination of American Citizen – Short Answer: Yes!


Posted originally on the CTH on January 11, 2024 | Sundance 

President Donald Trump’s lawyer was asked about presidential immunity on Tuesday, by Federal Judge Florence Pan.  The specifics of the question surrounded if President Trump could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate an American citizen (or presidential candidate) and if Absolute Immunity would apply.

President Trump’s attorney was prepared to answer the hypothetical question with a “qualified yes“; however, unfortunately the lawyer was not prepared to give Judge Pan a real-world example of this action that recently took place.   It’s not a hypothetical; it was done recently.  President Obama did exactly this.

CITATION – “Anwar al-‘Awlaqī; (April 1971 – 30 September 2011) was an American Islamic scholar and lecturer who was killed in 2011 in Yemen by a U.S. government drone strike ordered by President Barack Obama. Al-Awlaki became the first U.S. citizen to be targeted and killed by a drone strike from the U.S government.

President Barack Obama had absolute immunity for ordering the intentional killing of American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaqi.  The issue of him being a presidential candidate is a non sequitur.

If Presidents did not have absolute immunity, or if the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals removes absolute immunity from President Trump, then Barack Obama can immediately be charged and arrested for killing al-Awlaqi. There is no statute of limitations for murder.  Yes, this is the cold truth of the matter.

Additionally, 16-year-old American Citizen, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was killed in the same military assassination.  Abdulrahman, a child, was standing next to his father; he was never accused of any wrongdoing; he was never charged with any unlawful conduct; he was an innocent bystander.

In 2011 when the Obama administration was questioned about killing the teenager, White House Spokesperson Robert Gibbs said, “I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father if they are truly concerned about the well-being of their children. I don’t think becoming an al-Qaeda jihadist terrorist is the best way to go about doing your business.”

You can find the legal analysis from the Justice Department Memo Approving Targeted Killing of Anwar Al-Awlaki [HERE].  There was no legal justification or approval for the killing of 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki.

[Citation, pdf beginning Page 67]

If the DC Appeals Court removes “absolute immunity” in order to prosecute President Donald J Trump, then the next administration can formally charge President Barack Obama with the specific and unlawful killing of an American citizen, with malice aforethought and specific intent to kill; ie homicide.  Additional charges of manslaughter for the killing of the 16-year-old son are easily justified.

There is no statute of limitations for murder.

See how that works?

President Trump Holds 8 Point Lead Over Joe Biden in Michigan


Posted originally on the CTH on January 9, 2024 | Sundance 

Michigan is going to be a tough contest, because Wayne County is one of the primary places where Democrat operatives manufacture ballots.  However, that said, President Trump is now leading Joe Biden by 8 points, slightly more than the estimated 5% fraudulent ballots the Democrats can create.

Additionally, according to the latest polling [SEE HERE], Joe Biden only holds a 17% approval rating in Michigan.

MICHIGAN – President Joe Biden’s support is on shaky ground in Michigan, and he trails Republican Donald Trump by 8 percentage points in a head-to-head matchup 10 months before the Nov. 5 election, according to a new statewide poll commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4).

[…] The survey of 600 likely general election voters in the battleground state found only 17% said Biden, the Democratic incumbent, deserved another term leading the country. That number marked a low for a major public officeholder in modern Michigan political history, said Richard Czuba, founder of Lansing-based Glengariff Group, which conducted the poll.

Likewise, in a potential contest between Biden and Trump, who is facing a historic onslaught of criminal charges, 47% of likely voters said they preferred the Republican, while 39% selected Biden, an 8-point advantage for Trump, according to the survey with a margin of error of plus or minus 4 points. In addition, 3% said they would vote for another candidate, and 11% said they were undecided.

Trump’s lead over Biden widened to 11 points when voters surveyed were given a list of third party candidates. (read more)

With a 17% approval rating in Michigan, it would appear Joe Biden’s war on cars is backfiring.

Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Colorado “Insurrection” Ballot Eligibility Case


Posted originally on the CTH on January 5, 2024 | Sundance

In a Friday notice, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case challenging a Colorado democrat court decision to block President Trump from the GOP ballot under the auspices of a 14th amendment claim.  [SCOTUS Announcement pdf HERE]

The high court has scheduled oral arguments for February 8, 2024, and set forth a schedule as below for the case review.

[Source pdf]

President Trump will appear on the Colorado ballot (and also Maine) while the Supreme Court takes up the case.  Both the Colorado effort (court) and the Maine decree (Secretary of State) were stayed pending appeal.  In essence, and reflected in both their actions, in both states the decisionmakers expect to lose.

WASHINGTON DC – Plunging into a political minefield, the Supreme Court has agreed to take up a case challenging Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for president.

The court agreed Friday to consider whether states have the power to disqualify Trump from the ballot due to his attempts to upend the 2020 election and his role in stoking the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. (MORE)

[…] Ballots for some overseas and military voters registered in Colorado will have already been mailed out by the time oral arguments happen on Feb. 8, and four days later, ballots are scheduled to be sent to most Colorado voters.

Colorado is a predominately vote-by-mail state, meaning most voters will have their ballots in hand — and potentially cast them — well before the March 5 primary.

Meanwhile, giving indications of exactly who is promoting and supporting this overall dynamic, LAWFARE is currently running an organizational chart to show which states are trying to follow a similar path [SEE HERE].  It is not accidental that Andrew Weissman is promoting the effort [SEE HERE].

In the biggest of big pictures, the Lawfare group who are assembled inside every effort to remove Trump are the exact same group of political conspirators.  These are the facilitators for a weaponized justice system from inside and outside government.

Always remember, the Lawfare crew have a self-preservation interest in the elimination of their original 2016 target, Donald Trump.

A Strong Advocate – SD Governor Kristi Noem Discusses DeSantis and Haley and Why She Supports Donald Trump


Posted originally on the CTH on January 4, 2024 | Sundance

There is zero doubt, none, that South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is positioning herself on the short list for President Trump’s Vice-President or a very senior level role in the next Trump administration. Noem is currently campaigning in Iowa as a surrogate for Donald Trump.

In this CBS interview with Major Garrett, Governor Noem explains why she supports Donald Trump and gives specific reasons why Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley will not win in Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina. WATCH (prompted):

Noem is strong in many aspects; however, her previous positions on immigration in combination with the influence of the Koch crew send big warning flares. A very strong argument can be made that Koch is in the background with subtle assists for Noem in order to position an insurance policy against President Trump’s success. It’s a challenging perspective to keep at the forefront because the articulate South Dakota governor is easy to like, but prudent caution with Noem is warranted.

Noem’s remarks about Nikki Haley are spot-on, and Noem’s political value in confronting Haley cannot be overstated.  It is very wise to leverage Kristi Noem as the lead person against the efforts by those in the professional UniParty who are trying to position Nikki Haley.

Newsweek Lies About President Trump Not Being on Primary Ballot in Colorado and Maine


Posted originally on the CTH on January 3, 2024 | Sundance 

Given the nature of the propaganda we are likely to see in the 2024 election, perhaps this should not come as a surprise.  However, in an article published today within Newsweek [SEE HERE], there is a direct lie about President Trump and the GOP ballot for Colorado and Maine.

[Screengrab Source]

Newsweek claims that President Trump “will not appear on the primary ballot in Maine and Colorado,” this is a lie.  Both states (court and secretary of state) “stayed” their political ruling and arbitrary decisions, which permits Donald Trump to continue appearing on both primary ballots.

In the bigger picture, this type of media claim is a result of accepting the insufferable terms of ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’ and ‘malinformation’ to permeate the world of information.  This claim by Newsweek is a lie – period.  It is not misinformation or shaped information; it is just plain false.

In the era where government censors, DHS and “fact-checkers” make arbitrary assignments and definitions around truth and lies, each instance of published false information must be called out.

Too Funny – Axios Develops Trump Cabinet Prediction from “sources who talk often with the leading GOP presidential candidate”


Posted originally on the CTH on December 31, 2023 | Sundance 

This is a little funny, but hey… why not?

Axios claims to have talked to “sources who talk often with the leading GOP presidential candidate,” which could mean any random Republican, a caddy, a cook or a pilot.

From these ‘in-the-know’ conversations, in combination with media reports about media reports that have discussed other media reports, the Axios stenographers then take to the typeset to generate a Trump cabinet prediction.  Because, hey, why not.

Keep in mind, Stephen Miller is not a lawyer.  Senator J.D. Vance is a Peter Thiel guy.  Steve Bannon can’t keep secrets.  Mike Davis’ bff is Harmeet Dhillon.  Tucker Carlson gets all his information from a small text message group, and Kash Patel never discusses the true identity of actual deep state people attacking Trump.

Virginia Federal Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Intended to Keep Donald Trump from Virginia Ballot


Posted originally on the CTH on December 31, 2023 | Sundance

The leftist LAWFARE effort to use the federal and state court system to keep President Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot continues. However, in the most recent example, a Democrat appointed federal judge in Virginia has dispatched the effort.

(New York Post) – A federal judge in Virginia on Friday dismissed a lawsuit aimed at removing former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 primary ballot citing the insurrection clause of the Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

The complaint, filed by activists Roy Perry-Bey and Carlos Howard, alleged that Trump “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the US and should therefore be disqualified from seeking the office he once occupied.

Judge Leonie Brinkema of the Eastern District of Virginia, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, found that the plaintiffs lacked standing to sue to get Trump, 77, off the state’s primary ballot.

“At least five additional federal courts have concluded that citizens attempting to disqualify individuals — including former President Trump — from participating in elections or from holding public office based on the January 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol lacked standing,” Brinkema wrote in her 13-page ruling.

“Plaintiffs have totally failed to demonstrate how their alleged injuries are traceable to the conduct of defendants,” the judge added. (read more)

No doubt the Lawfare effort will continue, as the predicate reason for the January 6th “insurrection” narrative continues to surface.

Behind the scenes names like Norm Eisen, Barry Berke, Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann, David Laufman and Benjamin Wittes continue promoting the Lawfare approach.

Just as the DOJ and FBI were seeded with ideological lawyers intending to use the national security state and justice system to target their political opposition, the aligned private sector partners and activist groups continue the same effort from outside government.

Big Tech, social media companies, DHS, the DOJ and FBI are all deploying a comprehensive strategy to attack the foundation of our constitutional republic and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship run by financial interests and collaborators inside government.   It is going to get a lot uglier before the final conflict is resolved.

Unfortunately, the professional Republican apparatus is a willful participant in the effort.  Just as the Tea Party was targeted by Eric Holder and Barack Obama, using weaponized government (DOJ/IRS) with the support and willful blindness of the Republican political apparatus, so too is the America-First movement under constant attack by the same ideologues.

The rRpublican politicians who remain in the primary race are not stupid, blind or naive.  They are active and financially rewarded participants in the overall effort.

Insurrection v Sedition – Bellow Has Violated the 14trh Amendment Herself


Posted originally on Dec 31, 2023 By Martin Armstrong 

Maine Secretary

We have reached a Constitutional Crisis of unimaginable consequences. These people who are clinging to the 14th Amendment to disqualify Trump are themselves violating their oath of office and should be removed from any public position, even as a dog catcher, for they are engaging in sedition. The Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is an example of political corruption that is off the charts. She had violated the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment as well as the Sixth Amendment, not to mention the lack of any jurisdiction to remove Trump from the ballot.

This has all been contrived by their interpretation of what is an insurrection. Legally, sedition is conduct or speech that incites individuals to rebel violently against the government’s authority. Insurrection includes the actual acts of violence and rebellion. In a Republic, sedition and insurrection refer to inciting or participating respectfully in rebellion against the constitutionally established government, including its processes, institutions, or the rule of law. In other words, it MUST violently seek to overthrow the government or its institutions by overthrowing the Constitution itself. One cannot commit sedition or insurrection to “overthrow a government” while still claiming to uphold and defend the Constitution. Consequently, the rule of law and the Constitution are inextricably linked. There MUST be violent attacks that would thus not be protected actions.

Insurrection 18_U.S._Code_2383_Rebellion_or_insurrection

Consequently, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has waged war on the Constitution itself. She has denied Trump Due Process of Law, a Trial by Jury, and he MUST be convicted under 18 USC §2382. Without a criminal conviction showing that he engaged in a violent attempt to overthrow the Constitution, the 14th Amendment cannot apply. Even assuming that Trump told the people to violently overthrow Congress, that would still be sedition and NOT participating in an insurrection.

14th Amendment R

Section 5 of the 14th Amendment states that only CONGRESS “shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article,” not Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows or any other state official. CONGRESS has legislated this article 18 USC §2382 and ONLY a conviction under that statute would bar Trump under the 14th Amendment.

Voting _18_U.S._Code_594_Intimidation_of_voters

The attempt to remove Trump from the ballot is clearly a violation of everyone’s civil rights and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows should be now subject to a class action lawsuit under 42 U.S. Code § 1983 for depriving the people the right to decide who they want to be president. Bellows has sought to overthrow the Constitution to remove Trump from the ballot when she has ZERO authority to do so.
