President Trump Announces Nomination of Sean Duffy for Department of Transportation Secretary


Posted originally on the CTH on November 18, 2024 | Sundance

It’s a little funny, in an ironic way.  Much was made of homosexual Pete Buttigieg, together with his husband, using a gender-binary surrogate to become parents. President Trump nominates Sean Duffy to be Buttigieg’s replacement; Duffy has nine kids.

President Trump has announced the nomination of former Wisconsin Congressman, Sean Duffy, to be Secretary of the Department of Transportation.

FBI Whistleblower Says FBI Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances for Trump Officials


Posted originally on the CTH on November 18, 2024 | Sundance 

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016.  The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.

In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments.  Historically this is one of the ways a very corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.

First the report:

WASHINGTON DC – An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.

The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.

The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.” (more)

This is not any earth-shattering revelation. We painstakingly discussed this in a multitude of prior research discussions. The motive of the Whistleblower to come forth now, is likely because President Trump is already working around the problem.

WASHINGTON DC – President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is skipping the protocol of using the FBI to conduct background checks, according to a report.

Instead, the president-elect’s team is turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, people familiar with transition planning told CNN. Trump has criticized the FBI for its slow investigation process and feared it would delay his ability to roll out his agenda.

A security clearance is needed for some Cabinet positions, such as attorney general, and the process of obtaining one includes an FBI background check.

Dan Meyer, a national security attorney, told CNN Trump’s mistrust of the FBI and the deep state has made him go completely rogue. [They] “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm. They want to hammer the norm,” Meyer told CNN.

The Trump transition team’s decision to bypass the FBI background check comes as Trump has nominated former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for attorney general and National Intelligence director, respectively — both controversial picks. (more)

Because President Trump is making civics great again, it’s worth reminding everyone that President Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance.  The President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status, simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance.  Yes, it really is that easy.

The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything – even the most top-secret information in the country – with his advisors and cabinet members. That’s what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make decisions.

This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other silo, branch or institution.  The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the security clearance rules are.

There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can supersede the decision of President Trump.

Mika and Joe Went to Mar-a-Lago So They Could Declare, “Look at Me”


Posted originally on the CTH on November 18, 2024 | Sundance

The internet is abuzz today with discussion of the insufferable Mika Brezenski and Joe Scarborough traveling to Mar-a-Lago to meet with the person they called “Hitler” repeatedly.  As they tell the story, their intent was to “mend fences” and seemingly remain relevant.

When facing undeniable irrelevance, egoists always move toward the spotlight; because if there is one consistent truth within all human psychology, it’s the constant need for narcissists to find new supply.  WATCH:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Ponders Marco Rubio Replacement


Posted originally on the CTH on November 18, 2024 | Sundance

The question is not really whether Sea Island will attempt to regain their power position in 2028 through Ron DeSantis, the question is more appropriately considered: from what position will they launch DeSantis into 2028.

The Florida Governor’s term ends in 2026. Will the traditional path of a year in the private sector to accumulate wealth be followed, or will DeSantis take this opportunity to fill the Senate Seat of Marco Rubio with himself.

[Source]

Perhaps the last sentence in that statement provides a clue. No one uses the phrase “proven record of results” more than the tribe of power organizers who constructed the public image of Ron DeSantis. You cannot converse with a member of Sea Island about DeSantis without them saying “proven track record of results.” It’s almost an autonomic response.

Many people forget that Ron DeSantis previously tried to run for the Senate in 2015, filling the seat from Marco Rubio’s first guided effort to be the Vice-Presidential nominee of the Jeb Bush/Marco Rubio ticket.

Jeb failed, Donald Trump crushed him, so the Senate seat never opened; however, behind the scenes Club for Growth had already positioned DeSantis as the heir apparent.

It will be interesting to watch what happens.

I hate to remind everyone about this, but the RATs are not going to go away.

Look at the recent stories of Tim Scott hiring Mike Pence’s team. Look at the Gowdy response to the nomination of Matt Gaetz. Look at the position of Nikki Haley right now. You think Marco Rubio has a disposition toward MAGA that is out of alignment with the GOPe? Not a chance.

By nominating Rubio as Secretary of State, President Trump is removing a dangerous DeceptiCon from the position of Senate Intelligence Chair, while simultaneously removing a threat to the 2028 opportunity of JD Vance. President Trump is supported in the former, because the technocrats around him are focused on the latter.

Keep watching.

President Trump Announces FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr


Posted originally on the CTH on November 17, 2024 | Sundance

Brendan Carr has been the censorship buster, investigating Newsguard, Facebook and social media censors directly. Today President Trump announces that Brendan Carr will be moved to the FCC Commissioner’s Chair.

“I first nominated Commissioner Carr to the FCC in 2017, and he has been confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate three times. His current term runs through 2029 and, because of his great work, I will now be designating him as permanent Chairman.”

[SOURCE]

“Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft & others have played central roles in the censorship cartel,” Carr captioned a letter to CEOs Tim Cook of Apple, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and Google parent company Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai shared on X. “The Orwellian named NewsGuard along with ‘fact checking’ groups & ad agencies helped enforce one-sided narratives. The censorship cartel must be dismantled.” {LINK}

Sunday Talks – Vivek Ramaswamy Outlines Intention of New Dept of Government Efficiency


Posted originally on the CTH on November 17, 2024 | Sundance 

The co-chair of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Vivek Ramaswamy, appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the goals and intentions of the DOGE effort.

Ms Bartiromo continues to pull the conversation back to the need for Ramaswamy and Musk to go to the legislative branch for permission to reduce government waste.  Over and over again, Ms Bartiromo frames this discussion around: DOGE must go to congress for permission.

Note to Ms. Bartiromo.  DOGE is an initiative of the Executive Branch; specifically, an authorized agency with authorized officials carrying the plenary and absolute power of the Presidency.  The President is the Executive.  The Dept of Govt Efficiency, along with all of the other institutions and offices mentioned by Bartiromo, are subsidiaries within the Executive Branch.

This is the Executive Branch, a plenary power, reducing the size of the Executive Branch and eliminating waste within the Executive Branch.  There is no part of this effort that needs permission, authorization or approval from the Legislative Branch.  That entire line of thinking is structurally flawed.  WATCH:

.

President Trump does not have to go to congress to do something entirely within the Executive Branch.

When I watch Ms Bartiromo frame these arguments on completely fraudulent constitutional premises’, I begin to question the motives of Ms Bartiromo.  There’s something else happening here with Bartiromo and her steering “congress, congress, congress” narrative.  I’m not wrong.

Sunday Talks: Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin Says He’s “Undecided” Whether to Support President Trump Nominations


Posted originally on the CTH on November 17, 2024 | Sundance

Sending the message of the DeceptiCON’s in the United States Senate, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin proclaims he has not yet decided whether to support the nominees of President Donald Trump.

Mullin appears on Meet The Press with the insufferable Kirsten Welker, a well-known stenographer for the Biden-Harris regime, and while it might be predictable to see the water-carrying on display, it is another thing entirely to see Senator Mullin playing the role of feeding the ‘block Trump’ narrative. Senator Mullin says President Trump has the right to nominate “whoever he wants” but Mullin has the right to “deny whoever he deems.” WATCH:

.

It does appear that Mullin’s overall perspective is representative of the how the majority of the Republican DeceptiCons view the inbound nominations. This general tone would indicate that pressure from the public could end up making an important difference.

Ann Selzer Announces Retirement from Polling to Seek “Other Ventures and Opportunities”


Posted originally on the CTH on November 17, 2024 | Sundance 

Those who walk the deep weeds of politics immediately recognized that Ann Selzer had cashed-out and was going to retire after she transmitted the ridiculous polling that showed Kamala Harris was going to win Iowa by +3 points.  The prediction was laughable, and the result showcased just how silly it was, Trump +13.

The reality was that Selzer, and the ideologues around her, posted the bogus weekend election poll in order to fuel an attempted “pro-abortion” narrative and boost female turnout in the November 5th election.  The Sunday talks and corporate media ran with the narrative from the baseline of Selzer’s fraud.

Today Ann Selzer announces her retirement, “in order to pursue other ventures and opportunities.”

IOWA – Public opinion polling has been my life’s work. I collected my first research data as a freshman in college, if you don’t count a neighborhood poll I did at age 5. I’ve always been fascinated with what a person could learn from a scientific sample of a meaningful universe.

Beyond election polls, my favorite projects were helping clients learn something they did not know to help them evaluate options for their companies, institutions or causes. That work may well continue, but I knew a few years ago that the election polling part of my career was headed to a close.

[…] My integrity means a lot to me. To those who have questioned it, there are likely no words to dissuade. For those who know me best, I appreciate the supportive notes and calls reminding me that what drew me to them as friends, colleagues and clients was commitment to truth and accuracy — both in my professional and my personal relationships.
