Marco Rubio Senate Confirmation Hearing – 10:00am EST Livestream


Posted originally on the CTH on January 15, 2025

Appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State nominee Senator Marco Rubio, will appear before his peers to answer questions about his nomination.  The resistance to him will be minimal.

Senator Marco Rubio of Florida was a political rival of President Trump but also a key adviser on foreign policy issues. Mr. Rubio, once a top contender to be Mr. Trump’s running mate last year, is a Deep State foreign policy hawk who has taken a hard-line approach to China, a very supportive position on Ukraine, and an overall globalist stance that will influence his leadership of America’s diplomatic efforts and keep the U.S. Senate very happy.

Senator Rubio is scheduled to appear at 10:00am EST. Livestream Links Below:

Pam Bondi, the former Attorney General for Florida, former DC lobbyist and ally to President Trump, will appear at 9:30am in the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions about her nomination.  The democrat resistance will be moderate.

Pam Bondi made her name in Florida politics as the state’s first female attorney general. After endorsing Mr. Trump in the 2016 Republican primary, Ms. Bondi joined Mr. Trump’s legal defense team during his first impeachment in 2019. As the Attorney General nominee Bondi would oversee the Justice Department and the full contingent of federal prosecutors. Livestream Links Below:

Today a Set of Nominees Will Appear for Senate Confirmation Hearings: Bondi, Rubio, Duffy, Ratcliffe, Wright and Vought


Posted originally on the CTH on January 15, 2025 | Sundance

Today a set of President Trump nominees will begin the confirmation process with key hearings in the U.S Senate.

Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi (day #1); Secretary of State nominee, Marco Rubio; Secretary of Transportation nominee, Sean Duffy; Central Intelligence Director nominee, John Ratcliffe; Secretary of Energy nominee Chris Wright; and Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell T. Vought, will all be appearing in their related committees on Capitol Hill.

Bondi starts at 9:30am EST. Rubio, Duffy, Ratcliffe and Wright will be at 10:00am EST. Vought will be at 1:00pm EST.

Due to the simultaneous hearing overlap, we will post individual breakout threads on each nominee along with hearing livestreams. You can pick the ones to watch or switch back and forth.

Bondi, Rubio and Ratcliffe will be interesting to watch; however, each is in alignment with the dark elements of the Deep State and essentially a shoo-in for their respective departments. On the other hand, Russel Vought is the one most likely to face fierce opposition, in part due to the OMB controlling the purse strings of the executive.

The Senate will not like Vought interfering with their spending programs. The business of selling DC policy for personal financial gain requires a compliant OMB to organize the check writing. The Senators will demand strict adherence to their financial decision-making, and if Vought takes an independent executive position, there could be masks dropped and trouble in the confirmation process.

The Wednesday forecast is for a mostly sunny, happy, reach-across-the-aisle kinda day, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms later in the afternoon when Vought approaches the Eastern coastline.

Mullin and Cotton Now See a Glidepath of Confirmation for Defense Sec Nominee Pete Hegseth


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2025 | Sundance

Appearing on the increasingly insufferable former new channel, both Senator Mullin and Senator Hegseth now see an increasingly optimistic future for Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth’s hearing clearly showcased a worn-out playbook of resistance being deployed by the Democrats in the Senate.  Their foot stomping was childish and is increasingly positioning the Democrat party as irrelevant in the larger picture of U.S politics.  Perhaps we are finally beyond the end of an error.  We can hope.

.

In the larger dynamic of American government, which more people now thankfully see as a grand pantomime, and while Mullin and Cotton are on the right side -at least optically- of the Hegseth nomination, their alignment with a perspective that government provides some larger value in the lives of Americans is still grossly out of place.

The mechanisms, systems and institutions of U.S. government, must be severely unmeshed from defining and influencing permitted activity by the American people.  The bureaucracy must be destroyed, if we are to have any reemergence of liberty.  This is a core issue now visible in the eyes of an awakened majority.

While I am thankful that Markwayne Mullin and Tom Cotton support the removal of the Marxism mindset from the military, that is only one facet of the larger governmental outlook that needs to be confronted.

Senator Markwayne Mullin Eviscerates Democrats on Armed Services Committee


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2025 | Sundance 

I’m no fan of Senator Mullin at all; however, it is very rare (and awesome) for a Senator to break the code of Omerta in chamber.  At today’s Senate Armed Services Committee confirmation hearing, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) blasted democrat committee members and called out their hypocrisy to their face.  WATCH:

Senator Tommy Tuberville’s faces are also funny.  The full segment with Senator Mullin is below.

President Trump Introduces the “External Revenue Service”


Posted originally on the CTH on January 14, 2025 | Sundance

Aligning with the concept of using tariffs to fund government operations, President Trump has announced his intention to create the External Revenue Service.  It appears to be a collection and enforcement mechanism to gather income from tariffs, duties and other sources that will pay for access to the U.S. consumer market.

[SOURCE]

One of the issues the External Revenue Service will likely address is the de minimis loophole.

The de minimis loophole comes from back in the 1930s. The idea back then was, say you went on a vacation to Paris, you shouldn’t have to file customs paperwork or pay taxes if you decided to ship some little Eiffel Tower statues to your friends back home.

Congress in 2015 then raised the de minimis threshold from $200 to $800.  However, the e-commerce world exploded, and Chinese companies began using the de minimis loophole to ship cheap goods (ex. Temu and Shein) into the USA direct to consumers without paying any customs duty.

It was reported last year that the U.S. was on track to receive a billion packages through the de minimis loophole that aren’t taxed and don’t have customs slips saying what they are.  Making matters worse, illegal items are slipping through the cracks, including, knockoffs, unsafe items and even chemicals used to make fentanyl.  The worst abuser that exploits this de minimis loophole is, by far, China.

President Trump can require a customs and duty declaration stating what is in every package and subsequently collect tariffs and duties.

Something tells me shutting down the de minimis issue is part of the background for this “ERS” announcement.
