President Trump Gives Sea Island an Ironic Bone – Nominates Kelly Loeffler for Small Business Administration

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

Eh, I’m not going to dwell on it. Kelly is paying for the inauguration, and hubs Jeff is likely selling Bakkt to Nunes, so whatever. But there is a remarkable irony with billionaire Kelly Loeffler, wife of NYSE owning billionaire Jeffrey Sprecher, being nominated for Administrator of the Small Business administration.

I’m sure she will do fine. If her presence on the sidelines helps the team, then cool.

Former Senator Kelly Loeffler is the wife of Jeffrey Sprecher. Kelly Loeffler was approved by the Sea Island control group, then appointed by Georgia Governor Kemp because Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher; a GOPe party insider, mega-donor, and multi-millionaire CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Jeffrey Sprecher (formerly from the Bush administration) is the founder and CEO of ICE, which now owns the New York Stock Exchange. Kelly Loeffler’s company, the financial platform Bakkt, is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange. Bakkt is currently in the process of creating a Crypto exchange, with hopes of making Bakkt to U.S. Crypto what the NYSE is to stocks.

Kelly Loeffler purchased her recent Trump insiders’ ticket from Susie Wiles by leading the inauguration committee. Where ‘leading’ is essentially financing it with her circle of friends. On the upside, with this level of attachment to the Wall Street multinationals, the nomination of Loeffler is a nod to the Sea Island group (those that pay the Senators) as the larger Trump nomination process continues.

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

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.”
