Former Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and former Chair of the House sub-committee on weaponization, Jim Jordan (62), has defeated Steve Scalise in a republican caucus vote 106-73, and will become the next Republican minority leader of the House.

Despite popular opinion to the contrary, with reservations and brutal honesty CTH predicts this will not end well for the MAGA or Conservative cause in the House.  Despite publicly positioning himself as a firebrand supporter of President Trump, when it comes to actionable measures – Jim Jordan was the roadblock within the failed weaponization committee.

WASHINGTON DC – Rep. Jim Jordan will lead a much-diminished House GOP as minority leader next year, beating out Majority Leader Steve Scalise in his third attempt to lead Republicans on Capitol Hill.

Jordan won the secret ballot vote 106-73, according to two people present for the tally.

A co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus and prominent MAGA figure, Jordan pitched himself as best prepared to engage in political combat with the incoming Democratic House majority, noting he was “battle tested on the oversight front” in a letter to members. He currently chairs the House Judiciary Committee and previously chaired the Oversight Committee. (more)

I want the GOP to succeed, but many of these relationships are not likely to work in our favor.  However, President Trump likes Jim Jordan.  Jim Jordan will now be on the intelligence community gang of eight. Fingers crossed.

Additionally, House Republicans chose to keep Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota as party whip in the next Congress.

Representative Robert Garcia, the incoming Chairman of the House Oversight and Govt Affairs Committee, held a brief press availability earlier today and identified the first set of targets from the Trump administration.

You will note that Garcia mentions the names we previously predicted.  Susie Wiles, Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Steve Witkoff, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski.

Additionally, as predicted Garcia notes the legislation is already assembled under the false guise of “affordability” that will be sent to the White House in a rolling series of legislative constructs to deconstruct the MAGAnomic policy agenda of President Trump.  WATCH:

It all seems harmless until you sit down and map out how nefarious characters would utilize the capability.

In the old version of the game there were “bots” and “fake accounts,” which most people are familiar with.  However, in the modern iteration of the ruse Artificial Intelligence comes into play, and the AI term “agents” create a new dynamic.

An AI Agent is a created persona utilizing the massive data capabilities of AI to review and create a personality.

The task set looks something like this:

Create an AI agent and give it a name, say Frank.  You tell Frank to review all of Nick Fuente’s social media posts, videos, presentations and online manifests.  Then you instruct Frank to create a psychological profile of what Fuentes believes, how he expresses himself, how he interprets information and the specific vocal and inflection pattern used to share information.

Once Frank has that profile established, then you instruct Frank to build out a community of like-minded sub-agents, who hold the same worldview -each with individual characteristics and nuance- that articulate issues and points of interest in support of Fuentes.  Frank [parent agent] creates a community of 50 [children sub-agents] who can push the Fuentes ideology independently, each re-referencing the originating parent’s continued update, patterns and ideological expressions.

Now you have Frank leading a group of 50 online personas (1 agent and 50 sub-agents) to create the community and boost the messaging of Fuentes based on current issues and events.  Each agent and sub agent creates an account on the favored (targeted) online platform. The instructions tell them the general direction of where they are to go, but in the largest measure the sub-agents can be unleashed to run autonomously, 24/7 with no need for rest, checking back with Frank occasionally who is giving constant feedback based on your instructions.

Suddenly, the opinions of Nick Fuentes seem to be popular, and the Fuentes perspective is boosted within various platforms.  All of the children hitting the social media pages to share and support the Fuentes message.  They like his content, resend his messages and even engage with responses if needed, while they articulate debate based on the education from their parent, Frank – the lead AI agent.

One day after outgoing congressman Thomas Massie filed articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, the secretary gave a press conference this morning.  Video and Transcript Below:  

[Transcript] – Well, uh, good morning. I’ll get right to it. What one disgruntled and defeated congressman is attempting is not oversight, and it’s not accountability. It’s a political spectacle, a personal manifesto driven by ego and resentment, timed for one man’s final days in Congress to try to do damage to this president, this country, and most irresponsibly, the warriors who defend it. It’s a farce, and it’s a stunt, and everybody knows it. In the 250 years of our American republic, no Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations—and in our case, successful ones at that. Not once.

War Powers Resolution or not: not under Reagan in Lebanon, not under Clinton in Kosovo, not under Obama in Iraq and Syria, not under Biden in Iraq and Syria. That’s the standard. The history is clear, and it’s very straightforward. And one disgruntled congressman wants to shred it over policy disagreements. That’s what it is: policy disagreements. Not high crimes, not misdemeanors, not treason, not bribery, not the kinds of offenses the founders intended when they wrote the impeachment clause.

The proper remedy for a policy disagreement is legislation. It’s debate. It’s the next presidential election. It’s not handing the House and Senate floor to the Democrats so that they can run a show trial against the president and the Secretary of War while Republicans still control Congress and should be delivering wins for the American people.

President Trump holds a press conference at the White House along with Dana White.  The video and transcript are below:

[Transcript] – PRESIDENT TRUMP – Well, thank you very much. We have a very distinguished guest with us today. A lot of people think he’ll be our new press secretary. And one thing about him, he doesn’t play games because I’ve known him a long time. But I’ll introduce him in a second.

I do want to read a statement that I had a excellent conversation with Shik Muhammad. Uh and you probably know who that is. He’s prime minister of Qatar wherein much was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Most importantly, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, and others would prefer the status quo. That we remain as is. In other words, a continuation of the greatest naval blockade in the history of our country, probably in the history of the world. Nothing has gotten through at all. And that’s been months. Nothing has gotten through. Having a very devastating effect on as you know and you’ve seen having a very devastating effect on Iran and also operation iron gate which was newly imposed and that’s land so you have land and sea total lockdown.
