Now, you know the dynamics. Now, you know the reasoning. Now, you know the motives and intents. Now, you know how the SSCI sits at the epicenter of the enabling mechanism we call the “Deep State”….

…. and now you know why SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton would send this message:

They are so fancy, no?

Welcome to the world of the uppity, self-appointed omnipotent controllers.

Welcome fellow wolverines, to my world.

Perhaps one of the most consequential voices in all of the Middle-East is Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.  Egypt is the intellectual hub of modern Islam, and a very pragmatic President Sisi has been the major opposition to radical Islam for the past decade.

President Sisi walks a careful position balancing his opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood with pragmatic perspective toward Israel and the friction therein.  Egypt has been stable under the leadership of Sisi, but extremist elements have continued to use the Siani region to create instability.  President Trump and President Sisi are in alignment on the cause for peace and stability.  WATCH:

Delivering a statement via Truth Social from the G7 in France.  President Trump has suspended the nomination of SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, cancelling Wednesday afternoon’s SSCI hearing on the nomination.

The late-night timing appears to be due to President Trump focused on the G7 discussions and now turns his focus back to the domestic agenda; DNI, Save America Act and FISA (702) reauthorization.

President Trump outlines in the Truth Social post that FISA (702) renewal must be attached to the Save America Act, and Jay Clayton’s replacement, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed to replace Clayton in the SDNY prior to the DNI nomination moving forward. This position puts Bill Pulte’s appointment as Acting DNI back into the mix.

VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.

Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.

In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.

Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.

Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

None of these back-and-forth moves would be necessary if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune were aligned with the Republican President. Alas, with Thune representing a dysfunctional wing of a Senate UniParty, his priorities are in alignment against the President.

For 20+ years CTH has been calling for the repeal of the 17th Amendment.  Today, Texas Senator John Cornyn provides example #122,755 of why that change is needed.

After meeting with Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche, the outgoing senator from Texas, one of Mitch McConnell’s key DeceptiCONS, publicly states he is blackmailing the President of the United States and demanding the DOJ present information to him about the tax filings of the Trump family.

Earlier today, FBI Director Kash Patel announced: “On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.”

According to law enforcement officials, a California native named Michael Alan Thomas (insert, right) of Pinon Hills was the organizer of several people online who planned to use drones to strike UFC Freedom 250 events, nearby buildings and create chaos.  The goal was to funnel the crowd and then use sniper fire and a ground assault on a White House gate.

Another suspect in the case, 19-year-old Ohio resident Tycen Proper, was intercepted following an alert from his family.

NY Post – […] “The alleged conspiracy first came to light after Proper’s family contacted authorities in Ohio, worried about his recent behavior, firearms purchases and interactions with an online group espousing anti-government views.

Investigators later uncovered encrypted chats laying out plans for an attack timed to coincide with UFC Freedom 250, a major event held on the White House lawn that was attended by Trump and other senior government officials, according to the complaint.  (read more)
