President Trump Switches Out White House Counsel Position – Announces David A. Warrington to Lead White House Counsel Office

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

This is interesting. President Trump has announced that David A. Warrington will now lead the Office of the White House Counsel, as well as “Asst to the President and Counsel to the President.” It would appear that President Trump is adjusting the legal framework within the office.

Originally, President Trump announced William Joseph McGinley to serve as White House Counsel; however, he has now moved McGinley to be the legal counsel covering DOGE, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Warrington will now lead the office of White House Counsel:

Coming from the partnership firm of Harmeet Dhillon gives Suspicious Cat, well, suspicions. The notation is made, and we move along.

Below is the shift as explained by President Trump.

The McGinley move makes a lot of sense. DOGE and the Office of Management and Budgets (OMB) are going to be joined at the hip. They are going to have to navigate the Impoundment Control Act, challenging the system that places limits on a president’s ability to unilaterally withhold funding.

Inside that legal battle, deciding what DOGE can do without legislative approval, the OMB is going to be the execution part. McGinley will be the legal liaison focused on what technical approaches DOGE/OMB can execute. In essence, can they stop funding XXXX, thereby eliminating it?

That said, the language President Trump is using to describe the role of David A. Warrington is something entirely new. Donald Trump says, “to serve as Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President. Dave will lead the Office of White House Counsel and serve as the top attorney in the White House.” Normally the White House Counsel does not represent the interests of the President, the WHC represents the interests of the office.

I would appear to me, at least as I review the details, that President Trump is now fully aware how his Presidential interests can sometimes conflict with the interests of the White House Counsel, and he is making a move to ensure that conflict doesn’t happen. An example of the conflict I have explained repeatedly in the “declassification of information.”

Not kidding, it is almost as if someone very close to President Trump – READ THIS, because it comes with a serious warning.

…[…] “In Term-1 the IC message to the WH Counsel was that if Donald Trump declassified any documents, they would use the DOJ (special counsel weapon) to attack the office of the president for “obstructing justice.” The WHC was fraught with fear over what would happen and demanded that POTUS Trump stop trying to declassify information/documents the IC didn’t support.”

The way President Trump is now portraying the role of the White House Counsel is to represent his interests first and foremost, then represent the interests of the office. In a few subtle, and not so subtle ways, this makes sense.

We can tell by the nominations to AG, DAG and DAG-NSD, that Main Justice is already positioned to defend and protect President Donald Trump. The people in charge of the silo are all loyalty-first people, aligned in the interests of President Trump. It would appear that President Trump is now bringing that same outlook into the White House. The White House Counsel aligning in purpose with the purpose of President Donald J Trump.

I’m glad to see this approach, because as I have repeatedly affirmed, ONLY PRESIDENT TRUMP the person can confront the Silo system in Washington DC.

President Trump Announces Peter Navarro as Senior Counsellor for Trade and Manufacturing

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

Excellent news. Within trade and MAGAnomics Peter Navarro serves as the counterbalance to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the influence visible with David Macintosh (Club for Growth).

President Trump announces the return of Peter Navarro in the role of Senior Advisor for Trade and Manufacturing.

[SOURCE]

Note the word “FAST,” that’s the element Navarro brings to the dynamic.

Where USTR Lighthizer was/is excellent, he was also a little cautious. Current USTR Jamieson Greer was Chief of Staff to former USTR Robert Lighthizer in term #1. Within term #2, speed in delivering the trade outcomes is paramount. We have a Marshal Plan to remove, as well as tariff priorities and the reestablishment of American manufacturing to kickstart fast.

As well as kicking sand in the face of The CoC and CfG, Navarro brings the speed part of the equation to the forefront. Perfect.

As long as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and CfG can be kept away from the critical aspects of Trade negotiations, things will get done “FAST.”

As I have noted since the assembly of the cabinet team began to surface, the economic aspect looks really good. If we focus on the outcomes of the economic policy, we will all be in a very happy place.

If you focus on the Main Justice component hoping for accountability (or arrests), or if you focus on the IC aspect hoping for some implosion of their capacity, you will likely be disappointed. Good things will happen, but they are preliminary in purpose. However, if you focus on the outcomes that will surround your everyday life, things will be super cool.

The economic forecast is much greater, much more positive than anyone can yet imagine. There are really good outcomes clearly visible and within reach.

The key to a life of purpose is to appreciate God in all things; understand that a loving God surrounds you every day and cherishes you. Do not let your heart be troubled with dark imaginings of tomorrow. Live your very best life in the today that is immediately in front of you.

Yesterday is gone, you cannot change it.

Tomorrow is unknown, you cannot live it.

Today is yours.

Today is a gift, that’s why it is called “the present.”

Thune, Cornyn or Scott?

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

REPOST BY REQUEST: I say gently, don’t look for President Trump to expend valuable political capital on this.

Senator John Thune has been groomed by Mitch McConnell to be his replacement for decades. Thune’s ascension to the role of Senate Majority Leader was, maybe is, essentially a foregone conclusion.

Senator Thune will carry the full support of roughly 15-to-20 senate DeceptiCons (deceptive conservatives), and perhaps a dozen more squishy ones in the middle who want great committee positions. The important dynamic that comes into play is Senate Committee Chairman “leverage” for Donald Trump’s nominees.

Nov 7th on CNBC Senator John Thune discussed the upcoming secret ballot election for Senate Majority Leader. WATCH (prompted):

Essentially, this is Thune’s gentle first shot requesting President Trump “stay out of” the senate caucus decision. Likely, what matters most to President Trump is getting his nominees past the Republican majority confirmation process. Thune was in previous talks with President Trump several months ago, and again several weeks ago in Mar-a-Lago.

Senator Thune doesn’t want President Trump to put his finger on the scale. If matters of the Senate are left alone, Thune ascends – period. However, Thune isn’t stupid and would like Trump to support him. Essentially, Thune would welcome intervention so long as the intervention came with an endorsement.

Thune wants to be Senate Majority Leader. Pragmatic President Trump wants all of his ‘advise and consent’ nominees to glide through confirmation.

We should potentially anticipate President Trump to endorse Thune; generally, that would indicate terms have been agreed and we can be optimistic. Despite his need, perhaps the best situation for Rick Scott is a non-endorsement of anyone.

However, if we see a non-endorsement from President Trump, or if Trump should surprisingly endorse someone else, then we should watch out for full DeceptiCon opposition in the Senate from here on out.

A lot of the dynamic exists without any outside influence. The two positioned candidates are John Thune (SD) and John Cornyn (TX). Florida Senator Rick Scott is a MAGA favorite, but Thune is heavily favored and has an inside track. The number of MAGA senators is around ten, not really enough to block any organized leadership challenge.

Our MAGA movement benefits from appointments gaining confirmation. President Trump well understands the negotiations and maneuvering that will be needed to get the right committee chairs and members in place.

Maybe Scott has a chance… But… Optimal solutions, folks. Optimal solutions.

Good Sign – President Trump Announces No Position for Nikki Haley or Mike Pompeo in New Administration

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

President Trump has announced on Truth Social there will be no position for former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley or Former CIA Director and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in the next administration.

♦ Nikki Haley directly blamed President Trump for the violent events during January 6, 2021, and said, “I don’t think [Trump’s] going to be in the picture,” she said, matter-of-factly. “I don’t think he can. He’s fallen so far.” […] “We need to acknowledge he let us down,” she said. “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him. And we can’t let that ever happen again.”

Haley cares about one thing, her own position and power – that’s it. She really is the worst type of politician you can fathom. [SEE RESEARCH HERE] Nikki Haley was supported and funded by infamous CIA Acting Director Mike Morell. Haley was a tool of the “six ways from Sunday” group.

♦ Mike Pompeo used his position of influence to install Senator Dan Coats as Director of National Intelligence during the first administration, with the mission objective to hamstring President Trump and ensure the “six ways from Sunday” group could lead the internal attacks.

ODNI Dan Coats operated to block all declassification efforts of President Trump during the first administration until he was ultimately fired, too late, and replaced by Acting DNI Ric Grenell; later replaced by DNI John Ratcliffe.

♦ Mike Pompeo misled President Trump about issues of national intelligence, blocked any information adverse to the interests of the “six ways from Sunday” group, and operated a stealth mission to destroy the presidency. That agenda included lying to President Trump about military engagements, CIA activity, foreign missions and organizing military attacks without the approval of the Commander in chief.

While doing this, Mike Pompeo attempted to organize a covert assassination effort against Julian Assange, and later worked with the corrupt interests inside the Robert Mueller team and DOJ-NSD to exfiltrate Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London (joint black-ops mission with GCHQ) with hopes to finish the Assange operation in prison. {GO DEEP}

CONTEXT – […] (3) Joint Chief Chairman Milley, and SoS Mike Pompeo traveled to Mar-a-Lago in December 2019, where they informed President Trump of military strikes in Syria and Iraq *after* they took place. [Background Here] [Background Here]. President Trump made Esper, Milley and Pompeo hold a press conference without Trump supporting them; then President Trump remained silent on the issue for days.

It seemed like CTH was alone in noticing the issues with the Pentagon and suspicions of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley. However, a few days after the Mar-a-Lago incident, Col Douglas Macgregor expressed his own suspicions about the U.S. military attack in Iraq and Syria that paralleled our gut reaction. Macgregor stated he believed President Trump was being intentionally and “skillfully, misinformed”. [GO DEEP]

Perhaps this is the first indication President Trump is breaking out of the information silo system that surrounds him.

It would certainly be the first SIGNT to the intel community that President Trump is aware of hidden agendas.

Pray for President Trump’s continued physical safety.

EU Commission President Congratulates President Trump, Proposes Additional Purchases of American LNG

Posted originally on the CTH onNovember 8, 2024 | Sundance

Responding to reporters’ questions, today President of the European Union commission Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Donald Trump then immediately began the framework to explain EU background discussions in economic terms. “We still get a lot of [liquified natural gas] from Russia, and why not replace it by American LNG, which is cheaper for us and brings down our energy prices,” said Ursula von der Leyen.

The EU realizes the seismic shift that is upon them as a result of the U.S. election. Everything from the Ukraine-Russia war; the economics of energy which President Trump will use in negotiations for peace; to the factual lowered prices within the EU created by Joe Biden energy policy to punish Americans; to funding for NATO in combination with the potential for the end of the Marshal Plan one-way tariffs are looming. President von der Leyen is in a very precarious position.

Ursula was speaking from ¹Budapest, Hungary.

While many are interpreting her remarks about purchasing LNG to be snuggling up to President Trump, factually it is a much bigger problem than western media will openly discuss.

President von der Leyden is trying to position herself against the Trump Doctrine.

Energy products do not belong to extraction companies. The oil and gas belong to We the People. It is a national resource value held by private individuals (landowners) and the government (public lands).

The U.S. Govt permits oil and gas companies to operate, and the companies pay fees to the government for approvals.

The government sells leases and permits for negotiated extraction. Biden hampered this process, cancelling leases, cancelling permits and shutting down pipelines and extraction processes that drove prices higher.

Let me explain what is coming with a question: Whose energy prices do you think Trump cares about? The price Americans pay, or the price Ursula and the Brussels bureaucracy pays?

America First!

President Trump’s geopolitical leverage is to stimulate energy production domestically, while controlling export permitting in the process.

Rember, Biden increased LNG exports and drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as part of his anti-Russia strategy.

The SPR oil sales made little impact on the global market and U.S. gasoline prices jumped. Meanwhile, the pushed LNG exports drove domestic prices for natural gas higher.

President Trump’s “America First” MAGAnomics will reverse the Biden energy plan in part by limiting LNG export and dropping U.S domestic prices. This will lower inflation and transfer natural inflation to Europe. The second part is to create leverage needed in the Ukraine/EU/Russia dynamic.

Russia is blocked from selling gas (or LNG) into the broader western global market. This creates an opportunity for Trump at the negotiating table.

Increasing production leases, expanding pipelines, reauthorizing terminal development, while simultaneously controlling (ie limiting) export contract approvals lowers domestic oil and gas prices.

Once domestic prices drop to a level that Trump feels is the most economically beneficial, only then does the other part of the equation come into play.

What Ursula said today was an attempt to pressure Trump to retain Biden policy of subsidizing the EU (via expanded energy exports) while the U.S. consumer pays more. Watch Trump say, “no deal.”

President Trump gets leverage toward Putin’s agreement (perhaps acquiescence) in Trump’s Ukraine peace deal by holding the carrot of renewed gas sales into the western (global) market; sanctions essentially removed, in combination with the withdrawal of U.S. LNG pumps into the same market.

Trump already said, “the gold under our feet” will drive his term-2 geopolitical strategy. This is the second iteration of the Trump doctrine.

Expanded energy product development will lower the U.S. cost of goods, ultimately lowering prices. Inflation is then under better control. The Green New Deal dies an immediate death.

In combination with targeted tariffs, the energy sector then becomes part of the geopolitical equation to attain global peace. Simultaneously, improving our position as a global energy provider generates the money to expand our economy and pay down debt. “The gold under our feet.”

Throughout the process the dollar climbs in value against global currencies. A climbing dollar weakens the BRICS group who are, understandably, attempting to remove the dollar as the dominant trade currency because a weaponized dollar (Russian sanctions regime) is against their interests.

China and the EU will try to devalue their currency as a tariff offset; however, both China and the EU are energy dependent. The more they devalue their currency, the greater the impact to their own domestic price inflation. This is a substantive difference between Trump term-1 tariffs, and Trump term-2 tariffs.

In this second term, President Trump now has the opportunity to leverage U.S energy production and global energy prices as a weapon to force China and the EU to feel the true impact of targeted tariffs. President Trump then extends the benefit of his leverage position during his negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

If Asia balks, or if China tries to use their new and larger trade position for economic influence with Russia’s decision making, President Trump simply tells Beijing to back down or tariffs increase.

Ursula doesn’t stand a chance.
