In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the Donald Trump Administration and Presidency.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.

Who is the “Deep State”?
Who runs / controls the Deep State?
These questions keep being asked because we have not been informed with names or positions of those who actually make up the Deep State or names or positions of those who exercise control over those who make up the “rank and file” of the Deep State.
Until now.
Lara Logan interviewed a whistleblower who was inside the group who runs the (U.S.) Deep State. He knows and tells her who runs it – CIGIE (Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency.)
Worth a quick listen –
And yet who has ever heard of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency?
I hadn’t noticed this place mentioned in my copy of the Constitution.
Who appointments them?
Here is a statement at the bottom of the CIGIE Mission page –
https://www.ignet.gov/content/mission-0
The CIGIE is comprised of all Inspectors General whose offices are established under section 2 or section 8G of the Inspector General Act of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.), those that are Presidentially-appointed/Senate Confirmed and those that are appointed by agency heads (designated federal entities). The Deputy Director for Management of the Office of Management and Budget is the Executive Chair of the Council. The Chair of the Council is elected by the Council members to serve a 2 year term. The Chair appoints a Vice Chair from other than the category from which the Chair was elected. Other statutory members of the CIGIE include: the Inspectors General of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Central Intelligence Agency, the Controller of the Office of Federal Financial Management, a senior level official of the Federal Bureau of Investigation designated by the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Director of the Office of Government Ethics, Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel, the Deputy Director of the Office of Personnel Management, the Inspectors General of the Library of Congress, Capitol Police, Government Publishing Office, Government Accountability Office, and the Architect of the Capitol.
Prior to the establishment of the CIGIE, the Federal Inspectors General operated under the auspices of two councils, The President’s Council on the Integrity and Efficiency (PCIE) and the Executive Council on the Integrity and Efficiency (ECIE) from the time they were established by Executive Order 12805, May 11, 1992 until the signing of P.L. 110-409.
This is Byzantine. They had more tax collectors than people who could be taxed and we have more bureaucrats making rules for us in DC alone than stars in the sky.
“This is Byzantine.”
Yes! By design!
I think there are a LOT of entities within the federal government that we’ve never heard about….. deliberately.
They don’t want us to know much about them……
Here is their website

More coal being fed to the fire that is destroying our government and way of life.
Not the government, we are the ones being destroyed by the government.
Here is the full interview. ( 3 hours long, so block out some time to listen even if in shorter segments) )
Comments under it (where it’s posted on X) indicate surprise, shock, and anger at what this group has done and gotten away with.
Treepers are better informed than most citizens thanks to Sundance but this person reveals details of which I’m sure even most here are unaware.
I hope Dr. Shindelar has a magic wand.
He doesn’t, but he does have a solid record of who’s been in positions that could have taken corrective actions against governmental fraud and other crimes but chose to remain silent and not take any action. He was fired for not pretending as he was ordered to do, he stood up and became a whistleblower for which he was fired. That firing in and of itself was a crime that has not been prosecuted. He described that situation in some detail in the middle of the interview.
The short clip I linked is a brief video but the full interview is 3 hours. The full interview is loaded with very specific “red meat” all the way through….so it’s worth the time, IMHO..
I watched the full video TWICE before I commented on it. I get it.
One lesson learned, no one believes, or likes the truth. Truth tellers are scoffed upon.
I know what you mean, but our host and a whole lot of us Treepers prefer the truth over bullsht even when it’s bad news.
Can’t listen quick….it’s almost 3 hours. I worry that President Trump will get caught in that trap they are setting for him. Bondi better get busy and set a trap of her own except I’m not sure who she works for.
Yes Dr. Shindelar talks about that “trap” with some scary information… but also that it can be blocked by winning the midterms, but not if Republicans forfeit the midterms back to the Democrats. It all comes down to next November.

Biden’s FBI Knew Brian Cole was the January 6 Pipe Bomber in April 2021
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/bidens-fbi-knew-brian-cole-was-january-6/
I don’t think Brian Cole Junior knew HE was the pipe bomber in APR 2021
I don’t either.
I don’t think he knew he was the pipe bomber until a few days ago.
It’s interesting that Mr. Cole was described in most of the news reports as a man who wore shorts year round even in winter. Yet the video footage shows a person wearing long pants. Makes me wonder…
Fox Now channel calls this guy right-wing.
Faux News media…🤢.. stopped taking anything that Fox says

Mockingbird media.

Apparently Boasberg is immune to any oversight. A dictator Judge who works for the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiemcy?
He and his rogue confederates are untouchable. They know it and are emboldened by it.
Enough is enough from this activist judge and others.

‘Checkmate’: U.S. Supreme Court Delivers Huge Win for Religious Exemptions
Excerpt:
The U.S. Supreme Court today reversed a lower court decision against a group of Amish parents and school leaders who challenged the state of New York’s vaccine mandates for schools, ruling that the appeals court must reconsider the case. Today’s ruling could have implications for other states that don’t allow religious exemptions, attorneys said.

“President Trump EVISCERATES the European Union for fining Elon Musk and X $140M, says he will be getting a “full report” on the situation”….
Cont and video…
It was a bit concerning that he didn’t know if it was EU or UK that did the $140M fine. Concerning not about him, but more evidence of perhaps Suzie Wiles keeping stuff from him. It also does make him seem unaware of events. Again, not on him, but her, which reflects on him.

They Wargamed the 2020 Coup: The Secret Plot to Jail Trump
Barbara Boyd delves into the conspiracy to subvert the 2020 election, highlighting secret war games led by the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) involving high-level military and political figures.
The video outlines the deliberate strategies used to rig the election, target Donald Trump, and dismantle his movement.
Boyd details the roles of key players such as Rosa Brooks and Niles Gilman, discusses the connections with Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA, and examines the broader implications of these actions.
Plus, excerpts from Trump’s 2020 World Economic Forum speech are analyzed to understand why Trumpism is fiercely opposed.

Miss Susan is a guest in this interview wherein she discusses current events . .
Why 2026 Is America’s Second Civil War | Susan Kokinda
Susan Kokinda breaks down the City of London’s centuries-long grip on global finance and how it connects to modern drug trafficking, narco-terrorism, and the destabilization of Venezuela.
She explains why the war on drugs has never truly been fought—because it would target the financier class that profits from it.
The conversation covers Trump’s economic nationalism, Scott Bessent’s role at Treasury, the push to reshore American manufacturing, and why the 2026 midterms may be the most important election of our lifetime.
Susan also discusses the geopolitical realignment happening between the US, Russia, China, and India.

Color Revolution. It is strategic.
I wish someone would figure out how Jared Polis (wanabe President and Governor of Colorado) gets to keep a Gold Star 70 year old ELECTED County Clerk in Prison being tortured to death for following the Law while he lets Tren de Argua do whatever they want?
Boy howdy this DeSantis dude hasn’t given up yet. Good move but its obviously all about positioning for 2028. Smack this guy up side the head again, he still doesn’t get it. He’s as lame as yesterday’s underwear and twice as smelly.
