President Trump Announces General Keith Kellogg as Special Envoy to Ukraine and Russia

At this part in the transitions process, Little Marco has to be asking himself what exactly he is going to be responsible for. lol

Despite prior rumors, President Trump has announced that Retired Lt General Keith Kellogg will serve as his special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.  This puts General Kellogg at the center of the upcoming negotiated peace deal that will ultimately end the conflict in Ukraine.

Kellogg is a retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues.  Kellogg served as National Security Advisor to former Vice President Mike Pence. General Kellogg’s plan for ending the conflict involves freezing the battle lines at their current locations and inviting both Kyiv (Zelensky) and Moscow (Putin) to the negotiating table, Reuters reported in June.

… And, with that envoy announcement, I suspect we have now identified who will be President Trump’s emissary.  Or, more accurately said, who Melania Trump identified as the best selection.

Brilliant!

Outline of DOGE Approach and Legislative Branch Defenses Starts to Become Visible


Posted originally on the CTH on November 27, 2024 | Sundance 

There are four general aspects to the larger Trump legacy term that are starting to become very visible.  This is the era when political change starts to become visible in real terms.  We are all in the front row, on the cusp of a historic moment.

♦ The four generalized fronts are: (1) The economic front, which will be both domestic (Main St) and foreign (multinationals) as executed. (2) The IC/Justice front, which is inherently domestic. (3) The Legislative Branch front, this is where DOGE (Dept of Government Efficiency) comes into play; and lastly (4) The Dept of State confrontation with allies and enemies on all three other fronts.

Within #3, the legislative branch battle against the executive, this is where the spending issue, the purse strings, the power center dynamic over taxpayer distribution will be fought through the Dept of Government Efficiency, or DOGE led by Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and a few key allies in both the House and Senate.

Because the nature of the DOGE battle is centered around money, the root issue is ultimately who controls the power within Washington DC.  Control the money and you control the power.  Inside this battle over spending the historic dynamic of the UniParty will be visible.  Remember, Democrats want power, Republicans want money.

Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer have already started to position their defenses against DOGE and Trump {SEE HERE}.  The committee chairs and vice-chairs are selected to keep the power of control of spending away from DOGE/Trump.  Republican Chair Susan Collins, appointed by Thune/McConnell will not willingly let DOGE/Trump interfere in the way the Senate assigns funds. Ultimately this distribution is their power center.

DOGE is reported to be looking carefully at the Impoundment Control Act, challenging the system that places limits on a president’s ability to unilaterally withhold funding. According to Politico, Musk and Ramaswamy “believe the Supreme Court, which has three justices nominated by Trump, would be favorable to them.” The bottom line is the Executive v Legislative battle, where President Trump is going to try and reduce the size of government while congress keeps spending to maintain it.

In commonly held wisdom, traditional conservatives have always said government was spending too much, and reducing spending will limit the scale and reach of government.  However, those same traditional “conservative” voices who call for spending cuts are the same people who previously called for ‘Obamacare repeal’, and when given the chance to do it – they disappeared.  The Republican wing of the UniParty is full of those false conservatives, that’s why I call them DeceptiCONS.

One of the key people from inside the republican ranks on the upper chamber, is Senator Jodi Ernst.  Currently she is positioning herself for influence and assist with DOGE; however, Ernst is not an honest broker when it comes to actually delivering a result.  Like many of her colleagues, Ted Cruz, James Lankford and Mike Lee as examples, they talk a good game, write good op-eds, appear on Fox News, send strongly worded letters, and then do nothing.

Musk has the tool to drag these Republican DeceptiCONS into the sunlight via Twitter and a high dose of brutal honesty.  However, before they accept the burn from sunlight, they will predictably seek comfort behind the protection of the lobbyists who fund the RNC, and the skirt of John Thune.

The voice of Mitch McConnell looms over the entire dynamic like the universal message in 2010 Space Odyssey, “All these worlds are yours, except Europa, attempt no landing there.”  McConnell assuredly hoping to cement his legacy by creating an omnipotent and powerful Senate, far beyond the reach of any White House, temporary DOGE movement, or even voter intent.

[Politico Article Here]

I like the position that President Trump has taken amid this entire dynamic.  Remember, he previously was burned by the DeceptiCONs when he gave them the option to repeal Obamacare.

President Trump has a priority agenda to create something much bigger than all of the component parts.  RFK JR challenging food and health, Elon Musk challenging government size/spending, while President Trump focuses on the Trump Doctrine (economics and national security).

Trump: Secure the Borders or Pay Tariffs


Posted originally on Nov 27, 2024 by Martin Armstrong

Donald Trump wants to ensure that America’s neighbors to the north and south help him fight the migrant crisis, announcing that he will punish both Canada and Mexico with a 25% tariff on goods until migrants stop crossing into America from their lands.

Justin Trudeau reportedly called Donald Trump within two hours of his public remarks. “Canada is essential to US domestic energy supply and last year 60 percent of US crude oil imports originated in Canada,” read the statement issued by Trudeau, finance minister Chrystia Freeland and public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc. This certainly would hurt any attempt at a Keystone XL Pipeline revival. The long-negotiated USMC deal would be moot. The problem with tariffs here that Trump does not understand is that they will hurt the people on BOTH sides. Mexico has not responded to Trump’s statements at the time of this writing, but the president stated in an interview that tariffs would be met with retaliatory tariffs, further stifling free trade.

Trump also noted his dissatisfaction with China’s handling of the fentanyl crisis. Until China implements the death penalty to fentanyl producers, the entire nation will face a 10% tariff on goods. “’I have had many talks with China about the massive amounts of drugs, in particular Fentanyl, being sent into the United States – But to no avail,’ Trump wrote. ‘Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through, and drugs are pouring into our Country, mostly through Mexico, at levels never seen before,” Trump stated.

Skilled at diplomatic relations, China agreed with Trump and said that they are working to meet his demands. “The Chinese side has notified the US side of the progress made in US-related law enforcement operations against narcotics,’ said Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in DC, later adding that “China believes that China-US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial.”

Trump would unintentionally punish the American people through these tariffs as the costs are always passed on to the consumer. We cannot threaten top trading partners by punishing them with fines as the private sector and personal consumer will be punished, not the governments. Positive reinforcement has worked for Italy, for example, as Meloni has negotiated favorable deals with neighboring nations to entice them to curb the flow of migrants. Tariffs are certainly NOT the way to deal with this crisis.

Silent Prayer Prohibited in the UK

Marx Religion Opium of Masses

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Keir Starmer’s reign is akin to how America would have looked under a Kamala Harris presidency. The people have lost their ability to speak freely, and citizens are facing legal charges for speaking against Starmer’s regime. The New World Order is beginning right before our eyes.

A British Army veteran was convicted of expressing “disapproval of abortion.” This man spent 20 years proudly serving his nation. Yet, the Public Spaces Protection Order has deemed him a criminal for silently praying outside an abortion facility. He has been conditionally discharged and forced to pay a $12,000 (9,000 pound) fine for daring to pray in public.

The above video shows how disillusioned the authorities have become. “What is the nature of your prayer?” the police asked, to which the man replied he was praying for his deceased son. He was then told that he was praying in a “censorship zone,” where even your THOUGHTS can be criminalized.

Praying

Censorship zones were enacted in England and Wales on October 31, 2024. The zones are deemed “safe access zones” or “buffer zones,” and often span 150 meters around abortion clinics and hospitals. Protesting in any manner, handing out abortion alternative pamphlets, and any form of prayer – including silent prayer – is strictly prohibited. Scotland and Northern Ireland also implemented similar zones this October.

Another woman by the name of Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was arrested twice in Birmingham for silently praying in a buffer zone. Father Sean Gough has his day in court for the same crime. Both individuals were acquitted but now the government is no longer issuing slaps on the wrist.

The public is absolutely outraged. The army officer has received a petition with 60,000 signatures in his favor. Keir Starmer has failed to make a direct comment about the public outcry. People are understandably concerned over the government’s increasingly authoritarian policies. The Labour government has done away with the Freedom of Speech Act (2003) that was intended to protect free speech on university campuses. Starmer is looking for new methods to crack down on how people communicate online, and is not considering an amendment to the Online Safety Act that would punish people for speaking out against the government’s agenda online. Starmer has deemed any speech that goes against his wishes “misinformation” that must be criminalized.

Why are all the Build Back Better nations racing to eliminate free speech? The World Economic Forum (WEF) listed misinformation and disinformation as the most severe short-term global risk in its 2024 Global Risks Report. Schwab’s alliance demands international cooperation to stifle free speech. It calls for a “multi-sectoral approach” to ensure all media and tech companies carry out the government’s plan to defend the people against themselves.

Regulating Crypto Under Premise of Climate Change

Governments are enacting subtle regulations over crypto. Texas has come out to demand that crypto miners report their power usage to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The state claims they need this information to regulate its volatile power grid.

Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) Chairman Thomas Gleeson stated that miners must provide all information from location, ownership, to energy output. “This is another example of the PUCT and ERCOT adapting to support a rapidly changing industrial landscape,” he said. ERCOT believes there will be a new load of 152 GW by 2030.

“The rule approved today will give the PUCT and ERCOT better awareness of virtual currency mining operations around the state, which have unique power consumption characteristics,” the commission said. “The information provided in the registration will help ERCOT manage the grid reliably as more virtual currency mining facilities connect to the grid.” Failure to register will result in a $25,000 DAILY penalty PER VIOLATION.

ERCOT already has access to energy usage meters. It is quite peculiar that they are expecting individuals to begin self-reporting. This is part of a broader trend to regulate crypto. New York, not reliant on a grid of any sort, wants 70% of its electricity to be renewable by 2030, but only about 29% of energy comes from a renewable source. The state has enacted a two-year moratorium on certain types of crypto mining, stating that they need to study the impacts that energy consumption will have on the climate. The days of having an unregulated crypto market are numbered.
