President Trump has announced the nomination of Teamsters union favorite Lori Chavez-DeRemer for U.S. Labor Secretary. Teamsters President Sean O’Brien backed Chavez-DeRemer for the cabinet position, and the alignment with the blue-collar union base made her a natural fit.

Look for many pro-labor Democrats to support this nomination.  Several major unions in Oregon endorsed Chavez-DeRemer’s reelection bid this year, but she lost to Democratic state Rep. Janelle Bynum in one of the most competitive house races in 2024.

President Trump Announces Scott Bessent as Nominee for Treasury Secretary


Posted originally on the CTH on November 22, 2024 | November 22, 2024 |

President Donald Trump has announced Scott Bessent as nominee for U.S. Treasury Secretary. The Secretary of Treasury implements tax policy, manages the nation’s debt, leads financial regulators, monitors and executes sanctions and conducts economic diplomacy. While the U.S. trade representative takes the lead on tariffs, the Treasury secretary typically plays a key role advising on that issue as well.

Bessent (62) is a hedge Fund manager, the founder of investment firm Key Square Capital Management.  Despite supporting President Trump early, he has faced criticism for working as the CIO at George Soros’s Soros Fund Management from 2011 to 2015. He lives in Charleston, S.C.

Via NBC – […] Bessent has advised Trump to pursue a “3-3-3” policy: cutting the budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product by 2028, spurring GDP growth of 3% through deregulation, and producing an additional 3 million barrels of oil or its equivalent a day.

He has suggested that Trump’s tariff threats are a negotiating strategy aimed at extracting concessions from other countries. “My general view is that at the end of the day, he’s a free trader,” Bessent told the Financial Times last month. “It’s escalate to de-escalate.” (read more)

Justice for Laken Riley


Posted originally on Nov 21, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Illegal Aliens Migrants Texas Border

Charges have finally been brought against Jose Ibarra, the illegal migrant from Venezuela who brutally murdered nursing student Laken Riley. The court found Ibarra GUILTY on 10 charges, including murder, rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and kidnapping. This is not enough. Laken Riley and her family deserve justice.

Jose Antonio Ibarra entered the US through the El Paso, Texas, border passing that Texas Governor Abbott has attempted to secure with endless pushback from the Biden-Harris Administration. Democrat lawmakers and the media initially did everything to conceal the identity of her murderer. Biden refused to say “Laken Riley” publicly but did correct himself for calling her murderer an “illegal.” Initial reports of her murder did not include the assailant’s identity or migration status.

There was surveillance video footage of the brutal attack, but it was omitted from initial reports. Numerous media outlets described Antonio as an “Athens resident.” The Associated Press had the audacity to release a devious article entitled“The killing of a nursing student out for a run highlights the fears of solo female athletes,” suggesting that women “can try to say safer while exercising.” So not only did the media censor all stories pertaining to Laken’s case, but they went as far as to blame the victim.

Ibarra’s brother is in the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He testified against his own brother once the courts revealed that DNA was found under Riley’s fingernails – she fought as hard as she could for 17 minutes until the coward took her life.

 There is nothing that citizens can do to remain safe when illegal, unvetted aliens have more rights than law-abiding citizens.

A reminder that Ibarra was arrested by the New York Police Department a year before he came to America in 2023, where he was “charged with acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation.” As is the case with countless stories of migrant crime, he faced no repercussions. Although Ibarra crossed into the US from the unsecured Texas border on September 8, 2022, he made his way to Georgia thanks to Biden’s policy of taxpayer-funded free flights for illegal migrants. This criminal flew from JFK Airport in New York to Atlanta, Ga., a year after arriving in the US.

“What happened to Laken Riley is a gut-wrenching tragedy, and we are hopeful her suspected killer is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” a New York City Hall representative said. “Mayor Adams has been abundantly clear that we need to fix our broken immigration system. Cities should never have had to carry the cost and burden of this national humanitarian crisis.”

Life imprisonment is not enough when this exact scenario could happen again. Laken Riley’s father is calling for reform. “I stand before you, a heartbroken man,” he said via the New York Post. “Part of my purpose has been taken. God gave me a beautiful daughter to father, protect, provide for and nurture. A man with an evil heart stole her life. He was in this country and in this state illegally. My vision for every senator in this chamber is that you protect citizens from this illegal invasion,” he added.  “Please recognize over a million illegal aliens are in this state and making families nervous.”

The Biden Administration and every proponent of OPEN BORDERS must be held accountable for the untold crimes migrants have carried out against the people of this nation. Trump’s plan to file an executive order for mass deportation is of the utmost importance for NATIONAL SECURITY. Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution states that the United States “shall protect each of them [the states] against Invasion.” What happens when the sitting president and state legislators actively ENCOURAGE the invasion of America? “Technically, they shouldn’t be here,” was the only condolence Biden could muster. OPEN BORDERS ARE OPEN TREASON!

Harriet Hageman Outlines Support for Matt Gaetz and the Status of DC Activity

Appearing on C-SPAN, Wyoming Representative Harriet Hageman outlines the reason she supports the nomination of Matt Gaetz for U.S. Attorney General.

Additionally, Rep Hageman gives a strong outline of the activity within the DOJ, FBI and DHS over the past few years, as the background of her support for President Trump to return to Washington DC and target the corrupt institutional activity.  The first 8 minutes are quite impressive.  WATCH:

Following the first 8 minutes, Harriet Hageman responds to the protestations by Michael Bromwich, the former seriously corrupt DOJ-NSD official who represented Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey-Ford.

Pentagon Missing $824 Billion


Posted originally on Nov 20, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Pentagon

The Pentagon, funded by you—the taxpayer—has truthfully NEVER passed an audit. Washington uses the Pentagon and Department of Defense as perhaps its favorite money laundering tool. Countless funds and supplies vanish year after year, and no one is ever investigated or punished. The corruption is blatantly in our faces. The most recent gimmick of an audit revealed that the Pentagon is unable to account for an astounding $824 billion missing from its budget. This is the seventh consecutive time that the Department of Defense has at least admitted that the agency “misplaced” hundreds of billions of dollars. Where are the funds?

There are twenty-eight separate reporting agencies, also funded by the taxpayer. Fifteen of those agencies received disclaimers, nine received an unmodified audit opinion, and one received a qualified opinion, while the remaining three agencies have pending opinions. Last November, the Pentagon funneled about $187 million to the public sector to conduct these dishonorable audits. The corruption never ends. They knew ahead of the audits that the agency would not come close to passing. There is zero remorse.

The DoD has no concern for their failed audit as they have never felt repercussions for failing one. Michael McCord, Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer, dared to say that he wouldn’t necessarily call $824 billion in missing funds a “failed audit.” McCord also said not to worry since the Pentagon should be able to alter its audits to pass by 2028. The government can misuse our funds, but we’d be imprisoned for failing to give them their money through taxation.

“So if someone had a report card that is half good and half not good, I don’t know that you call the student or the report card a failure,” McCord said. Actually, that student would be held back and forced to complete the requirements for his or her grade level. Could you steal the money from someone’s wallet and call it an act of kindness for returning the change? This severely indebted nation provided the $824 billion to this slush fund of a department. Where is our money? Why has this agency never been held accountable? I presume the pockets run deep and the number of players involved would smear a portion of the establishment domestically and internationally.

SEC World Trade Center WTC7

Do not forget that when a whistleblower admitted the Pentagon has $2.3 trillion in unaccounted funds, a few major buildings in New York fell and started a contagion of events. The agency has never explained the whereabouts of those funds nor has it explained the trillions that have gone missing since then. The WTC7 demolition on 9/11 destroyed the room where the Pentagon audit was taking place and also happened to be the location of my computer system. I received an explanation from the SEC that everything had simply been destroyed and no further questions were permitted.

I do hope that Donald Trump’s administration drains the swamp and holds EVERY federally funded department accountable for passing audits. This is truly a disgrace and a slap in the face to Americans who have been funding government mismanagement for generations.

President Trump Announces Nomination of Linda McMahon for Education Secretary

Perhaps the most telling line in the announcement is the last one. “We will send education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.”

President Trump has announced the nomination of Linda McMahon to be the next Secretary of Education.  Likely with the intention to eliminate the federal Dept of Education.

President Trump Confirms Nomination of Howard Lutnick for Secretary of Commerce With a Twist


Posted originally on the CTH on November 19, 2024 | Sundance 

Suspicious Cat smells some possible streamlining and downsizing afoot.

Not only has President Trump announced the nomination of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary, but he has also announced that Lutnick will carry the role and “responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative” (USTR).

[LINK]

Perhaps in the second term President Trump and Howard Lutnick are going to fold the USTR into the Dept of Commerce?  Interesting.

Hopefully, Howard Lutnick, like Wilbur Ross, will keep the U.S. Chamber of Commerce blocked from influence over the upcoming trade discussions and potential trade agreements.  We note that former USTR Lighthizer was part of the transition discussion, and it seems odd his name has not surfaced…. yet.

Regardless, Howard Lutnick is an excellent choice for all the reasons previously outlined.

Now we have a slight problem of how to label the MAGAnomic Trade Wolverines for the second term.  lol

I still suspect there will be a global division of responsibilities with a lead facing Europe and another trade lead facing Asia.  One thing is certain, President Trump will personally direct every aspect of the trade negotiations.

It will be interesting again to watch this unfold.

I shall order extra winnamins for Suspicious Cat.
