Apparently, the exercise of considering a Trump administration and potential cabinet for 2025 has kicked up quite a conversation. As an outcome, perhaps some expanded food for thought is worthwhile, and maybe even a little fun and educational at the same time.
I come at this discussion as a person who continually tries to navigate the mechanics of the silo system in Washington DC. Additionally, many of the positions at the top of the silos, what we would consider cabinet members, have various levels of influence from ‘moderate‘ to ‘none at all‘ depending on the construct of the individual agency (silo).
As an outcome, the nuts and bolts of what we want to see happen, let’s call that generally ‘elimination of political corruption’, are slightly disconnected from how it is possible to happen given the nature of how each institutional silo is constructed.
Some silos are more impervious than others. Some cabinet members are more functionary than others, and in some instances, the deputy is more important than the primary.
To get deep in the weeds, we need to understand each silo as a completely autonomous operation; holding various levels of attachment to the overall DC system depending on how the silo is structured and, in some cases, weaponized.
Then we need to evaluate overall skillset from a very practical, non-pretending level. There is one shot at this, and the construct of the Trump 2.0 administration must begin with the end in mind. That end includes accepting that one four-year term will not be enough to remove the embeds that were seeded over the course of 12 prior years. Some systems need to be taken down to nothing, others can be steered with extreme effort by those who can operate effectively inside the machine.
The reason for a Vice-Presidential selection like Dr Ben Carson has been previously outlined {SEE HERE]. Carson appears to have the faith, stability and integrity to be a stabilizing force amid the sea of chaos that is created when war against evil enterprise begins.
The value of having a faith servant in the role of close counsellor to President Trump cannot be overstated. If Carson is not the correct person to take the role, Carson would be the first to announce it…. which, ultimately, makes him more qualified.
Good is going to have to battle Evil, and at the same time the entire nation will need stability, optimism and a resurgence of faith. In short, no one is winning this political war without putting God, righteousness and prayer at the forefront as the DC temple tables are turned. When it gets ugly, and it will get extremely ugly, something just inherently tells me, Carson will rise.
Perhaps if I expand the list, a bigger understanding will be possible.
This time I shall endeavor to put context behind the names and add some specifics to the silo challenge.
♦ Secretary of State: Ric Grenell.
♦ UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard
The Dept of State is the front agency for the Central Intelligence Agency. When the CIA wants to seed an operative, they are given State Dept credentials. Whoever is running the State Dept will have a working relationship with the CIA Director. Grenell already knows how this works; he will be able to support the Trump Doctrine on day one with a full understanding of institutional context as the downsizing through attrition begins.
♦ CIA Director: Robert Kennedy Jr
♦ Deputy CIA Director: Kash Patel
See how that works? RFK Jr can put up or shut up, but Kash Patel is the insurance policy in the event RFK Jr is bearing false witness. The core agenda is carried out by the Deputy, while the Director is the functionary receiving silo information to satiate the executive (Trump). What happens in the layers below the functionary are what really matters. Kash has eyes-on, without the distractions of the functionary role.
♦ Defense Secretary: Vivek Ramaswamy.
♦ Asst. Defense Secretary: Eric Prince.
Many people understandably freak out with a Def Sec with no experience in military. However, the Def Sec is designed to be civilian led military; the President is the commander in chief. The Def Sec executes military efforts to support the President. This is the problem with having career military as Def Sec, they regard the institution as more important than the instructions they receive. [See Mark Milley and/or James Mattis and/or Alexander Vindman, they go rogue.] The U.S. military needs to be managed now, brought to heel and Wokeism removed. Ramaswamy, a functionary, can put up or shut up.
Again, see how that works? Prince becomes the insurance policy. The nuts-and-bolts guy to make sure the military silo is carefully reconstructed and the flag officers that need to be removed and replaced are removed and replaced.
♦ National Security Advisor: John Ratcliffe
♦ National Security Council (NSC), Chair: Michael Flynn [Tasked with taking NSC from current size to 30-50]
♦ Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary: Tom Homan
♦ Treasury Secretary: (Executive Privilege)
♦ Fed Chairman: (Executive Privilege)
♦ United State Trade Representative: Ambassador Robert Lighthizer [restart where he left off]
♦ Commerce Secretary: Peter Navarro
♦ Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC), Chair: Lou Dobbs
♦ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Administrator: Sarah Palin
♦ Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Commissioner: Mike Benz
♦ Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB), Administrator: Pam Bondi
♦ Dept of Agriculture, Secretary: Kristi Noem
♦ FBI Director: Matt Gaetz / Josh Hawley
♦ Deputy FBI Director: Andrew Bailey
♦ FBI Legal Counsel: Rudy Giuliani
♦ DOJ Attorney General: Ken Paxton
♦ DOJ Deputy AG: John Eastman
♦ Asst. Deputy AG in charge of DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD): Sidney Powell
♦ DOJ Civil Rights Division: Mark Robinson
♦ Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI): Rand Paul
♦ National Security Agency, Director: Thomas Massie
♦ FEMA Director: Jeb Bush [Yes, THAT Jeb Bush. He’s insufferable at everything else, but he knows how to handle emergency management very effectively, and he’s bilingual.]
♦ Office of Management and Budgets (OMB), Director: Kevin Hassett
♦ Interior Secretary: Marjorie Taylor Greene
♦ WH Press Secretary: Kerri Kupec
♦ WH Communications Director: Amanda Milius
♦ White House Chief of Staff: Dan Scavino (no question), or Kari Lake
♦ White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO), Director: Steve Bannon
♦ WH PPO Deputy Director: Catherine Englebrecht
Something like that….
PS. First SCOTUS nominee: U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen
I apologize in advance if I missed this somewhere… but I have a question—Does the Director or Primary guy or gal get to hire and fire the Deputy in the “Silos” or, does President Trump have this oversight?
Those are Senate confirmed positions as well. As are the Assistant Secretaries of ________.
That’s why I think Trump’s first move as POTUS has to be to fire all Senate confirmed positions in every department. He might have a few allies in there, but for 99% of them, they’re all fired. No carry overs. This includes all US Attorneys.
Unless you use the Clinton maneuver of putting Webster Hubbell in the #4 slot at Justice, so he could avoid a confirmation process. After that, he was the de facto AG of the United States.
And that’s why Trump will need to push legislation through Congress redesignating all Federal jobs as “at will” employment. This will help to cure the “burrowing in” problem where political appointees are hired into SES positions so that they can remain inside the government after a change of administration.
And no federal government annual salary increases can exceed Medicare annual increases. Most of these government employees haven’t been back to their desks on a weekly basis for 3 years! Maybe 1 or 2 days a week but still “working” from home.
Gaijin McConnell flipped it: he nominated, the President consented.
Yep, and I think the point of Sundance’s post is that Trump will have to ignore the wishes of Official Washington. Also, as I’ve been writing about for many years, these appointees will have a very specific agenda inside their cabinet departments: rooting out and destroying the communist infiltrators and #resistance fighters through widespread reductions in employment levels.
And when Trump decides to ignore Official Washington, they will counter by refusing to consider any of his nominees for confirmation.
The next phase in the war, assuming we can win the first phase – electing Trump – is actually the hard part. The system is built to protect itself from attacks by the Public. It’s like an immune response. Back in early 2017 I described the situation as a Government Party Civil War – meaning the US government had gone to war against Trump and his supporters. But instead of land armies, they sent lawyers and SWAT teams.
What Trump is going to have to do is fire so many people that the gears of government grind to a halt. it also makes that civil war very difficult to execute because you’re basically decapitating the #resistance of its leaders.
Every single political appointee, regardless of administration or length tenure, goes. Trump has to create a situation so dire that the Senate has no choice but to approve nominees because there will be so many to fill. And that also opens up the potential to eliminate so many of the unnecessary troublemaker positions. He can’t do it onesey twosey. One executive order, one giant pink slip.
I like it!
Why do you think the Deep State is so frog-brain apoplectic about taking down Trump?
When Trump fired Andrew McCabe for cause and denied him his pension, the Deep State went totally bonkers. None dare threaten their pensions. The one thing that gets them up in the morning to continue their useless, make-work jobs. Their plush pensions for life- compliments of the US taxpayers. That is the third rail that Trump touched. He must be now destroyed.
Pick each position with the understanding that they are assigned a goal/mission to accomplish within a reasonable timeline. If they don’t succeed or show quantifiable success they will be replaced…
I agree. It’s like Trump’s declassification order. Give them a timeline for full redaction, and empower the department chief to remove any career bureaucrat from their position if they resist.
That way we’re accomplishing one of two goals: either documents are being declassified, or, career bureaucrats in the cabinet departments are being removed. Either way it’s progress.
Gutting the bureaucracy is priority #1.
Hey, We can all throw darts; it’s hitting the bulls eye hat counts.
If you don’t actually THROW the dart you will hit nothing.
If I throw 10,000 darts, I like my odds.
THE USA is the most ***corrupt nation*** on earth most have no clue.. Its a police state*** they spy on all of us…..Politicians hate us time**** to take back our country. Love many of the names SD. Trump 2024 all the way baby….
CFPB, Pam Bondi’s motto should be “goal is to work myself out of a job.”
I like Amanda Milius as WH Comms Dir. That apple is not far from the tree at all. Wolverines!
This a roster that can and will put America back on the path of righteousness and hopefully drain/jail the swamp of the traitors who have damaged the USofA so terribly.
It is an outstanding conservative roster, but unless more young conservatives are found to run for office, we will just be handing the now GOP-controlled House back over to the lunatic Democrats, thus shooting ourselves in the proverbial foot.
i love that you got some of the great patriots on the list; like Catherine Englebrecht, Amanda Milius and the bulldog Bannon.
Bannon had his chance and fell off the wagon again, Trump was pissed. His lifelong battle with alcohol and possibly drugs, nobody knows, but it can’t be dismissed at this point. How many chances do you give?
Bannon is a warrior…
He talks a lot.
If PDJT feels he can work with Bannon I’m good with his decision.
If Bannon screws up, PDJT can fire him.
Careful….you may fall off your soapbox.
To paraphrase a famous POTUS; give all my Generals what Bannon is drinking.
Well these days I think it’s probably Diet Coke.
Someone posted a link to the Benjamin Braddock interview with Eric Prince. What I read there was amazing. Eric Prince said that one of his two most favored books is To Dare and To Conquer: Special Operations and the Destiny of Nations from Achilles to Al Qaeda by Derek Leebaert. I’m not a military expert but what Prince said is worth reading as it relates to the problems of our nation. He makes sense! It’s also very alarming that our defense systems are so completely at odds with what they were intended to do to protect the USA-bloated, clueless, and overstaffed at the top. Can’t argue with him on that!!
Do one hard thing every day , but don’t be stupid, is his advice to Americans who he says have affluenza. We have become too comfortable.
Agreed Barb.
Affluenza is a root problem.
Look at how many get by doing little to nothing vampiring the productive!
Great interview with Eric Prince. He knows where the bodies are buried. He’s been through the ringer by the State dept/CIA/cabal.
https://revolver.news/2022/07/blackwater-founder-erik-prince-tells-all-in-massive-3-and-a-half-hour-interview/
I read that and became a fan. He has been so maligned. The man is brilliant.
And all of these choice ideas with Trump as President? Maybe. Trump CAN NOT pick people himself, he stinks at it. Which makes me question who he REALLY is sometimes. His own son has to come out against his dad’s words & be the one that says NO WAY to Haley? So, junior is MORE conservative than dad? 🤔
WE THE PEOPLE should make the choices!
President Trump says things on purpose to get people like you involved.
Most people won’t suggest a thing, but most people LOVE correcting other people.
Cue your response.
Trump has learned MUCH since he came down the escalator in 2015. So have we.
Have you?
He learned a lot about who he could trust and who he definitely could not. He learned a LOT about the swamp. He knew about it but not about the great girth and depth of it, and I think he was surprized that some of his friends were bottom dwellers.
I don’t agree. Trump had no clue about DC and the savage political landscape he was about to enter in 2016, surely he’d seen backstabbers in his business world in Manhattan, but not like what was hiding out in DC.
WHO HE REALLY IS is a business man from Manhattan, a reality tv star, a real estate mogul who knows a great property when he sees one, and of course a patriot of all things America.
‘more conservative’ makes me laugh, DJT has never been conservative, he’s a traditionalist but there isn’t a conservative bone in his body. I have no clue what makes me people think he’s conservative, lol. Normal American, yes.
And he’s aging, so yes, he wants the opinion of family and friends, nothing wrong with that.
PDJT is a Populist. Populism is the way forward politically for all Western peoples who are attempting to preserve their nations,cultures,economies,societies,and their peoples from obliteration
“The path of Democracy is the road to oblivion”
You need to redefine your definition of a conservative. Nothing wrong with Trump’s (1) protection of private property, (2) require the rule of law, (3) push for limited government, and (4) support for free and competitive markets. What do you call a “conservative”?
It was easy to see the intentional play by Trump during that whole scenario. Jr saying No gives Trump wiggle room….always necessary for the one at the top.
We the People have been so dumbed down that choosing leaders is now about the most current popular person rather than qualified candidates.
We allow the leader to choose his personnel…..else the leader is hamstrung from the beginning.
Bet you knew all this.
I like the roster for sure. I pray that God will give us the opportunity to make it happen.
A few names I don’t know much about, however the most that I do would be a perfect fit. Just hope the president looks to this list. Pretty certain he has a presence here, possibly thru a third party.
All I know is that people always overlook ‘human nature’, like when I was gaga over Sarah Huckabee, but then she spoke badly of DJT one morning, can’t remember if it was before or after she became a Governor. People’s loyalties change like the wind when it comes to ‘career’ moves.
I don’t know whether I agree or disagree on that one, having never been in that position.
SD
Amazing list! I pray God directs in each step and they seek Him above all things!
I would love to see you placed in thus coming admin as IMO you and your gifted wisdom would be such a bonus!
Am I the only person on earth who understands that, until civil service unions are obliterated from government in the United States, none of the silo system or the corruption in government will change. The unions have things just like they want them and woe to the man who messes with the fix.
Everybody knows as soon as any effort toward busting the unions is made, millions of union workers, BLM, Antifa and all the rest of the commie crazies will be out in the streets burning and destroying property. So, the talk goes around and around–and the real problem is never, ever addressed by anybody with power. Is that because all the real power now belongs to the union thugs? Even this guy won’t say out loud what needs to be done, and he wrote a book about it. Sheesh! https://www.c-span.org/video/?525547-1/qa-philip-k-howard
Note the only person;
those government employee unions need to become history and those jobs should never be allowed to become careers if we are to have that government of the people by the people – people need to get some first hand experience of how govt works, then return to the private sector, knowing they will not become careerists within ‘the system’.
You got that right, Bessie. In 1962 JFK signed #10988 allowing civil servants to bargain collectively. 2 years later, LBJ made the Great Society speech in Ann Arbor. That speech opened the floodgate to bureaucratic takeover of Constitutional government, including the ruin of U.S. education. LBJ was an evil man.
LBJ sez: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
We need to start visualizing the full range of the rabid response to this necessary action – the public sector unions are so dug into our every day framework and psyche, as well as our mandated tax dollar support of them, this must be a very carefully orchestrated operation. Including repealing the 16th Amendment.
First task requires educating voters about the difference between private sector unions and public sector unions. Then tying voter awareness to the fact they alone fund public sector unions, but have lost all direct control over the employment of their funded “public servants”.
The unions put an impenetrable barrier between the governed and their own government. That undermines the entire principles upon which this nation was founded. We work for the public sector union today; not the other way around. This has caused profound psychic disruption to the American soul.
A voracious new class of Americans has been created – the 22 million strong army of government employees who made themselves untouchable. That is the infamous divide in this country that is tearing us apart. The helplessness as taxpayers and voters we now feel facing this 22 million strong army of government employees whose sole goal is to take more of our tax dollars and avoid all accounta bility for their work product.
A man like DJT has the organizational expertise to send all but a carefully picked skeleton crew home to collect their unemployment like everyone else. Some kind of reduced pension could be negotiated for each of the cashiered millions. Trump could do it; he knows how to get it done. What will it take to pull the trigger? THAT is the big question. The most certain thing of all is that none of the corruption will stop until the public sector unions no longer exist. It is really that simple.
In 1962, JFK signed an executive order to create public sector unions.
Describe what you think would happen if Trump signed an excutive order banning them. Until this happens, nothing in the Swamp will change. But let’s run practice scenarios what to expect if they are banned finally. Start with the teachers unions and SEIU, since they carry the most clout with the Democrat party and have extremely disciplined ground troops ready to do battle.
Expect BLM, ANTIFA, the cartels (Chinese & Mexican) to use all of their influence and firepower to finally destroy Constitutional Law and Order and try and establish some kind of junta-government. A real slick toad like Gavin Newsome would be a perfect grinning mouthpiece for the gunsels running the show. The millions of bureaucrats would take orders from the cartels.
Trump knows how to organize large complex operations. Maybe he’s got a plan. Maybe he’s trying to engineer a soft landing for the final demise of the United States of America. Like that old Hollywood vulture once said about why some movies are hits and some aren’t: “Nobody knows nothin’.”
We are living in very interesting times. DJT is the one and only material hope on the horizon. I know that God’s eye is on every sparrow and every one else on earth. Whatever He allows to happen will happen. I still say Godspeed Donald John Trump because if Trump don’t get’er done, things are gonna get worse, and then get bad. As long as the USPS keeps delivering the mail on time, we’ve got a chance. If the mail stops running, then look to your own…
No, you are not alone. The most fundamental internal destruction in our nation’s history started in 1962 when JFK, by executive order< allows government employees to unionize. They became domestic terrorists at every level of government operations. They have Stockholm Syndromed us since they have their hands on so much power today in every key government operation.
Howls when they get attacked will reach the moon and will frighten most Americans, and we have to be ready for this and have support in such depth this time that the surgery will finally be successful. We must eliminate public sector unions from the body politic. Period. Plus we must never forget the dangers inherent in partisan political spoils either.
Today, public sector union are the biggest stain on our national ideals. Period. Yet no one blinks when Biden crows he is the most pro-union President in the history of America. And people still poll favorably about unions, not really understanding the vastly different roles played by private sector unions versus government public sector unions.
They are sentimental about private sector unions, over looking most destroyed their underlying industries. And 99% ignorant about public sector unions which have destroyed our noble experiment in self-government from within. You cannot have SEIU members running virtually all county election offices in this entire coutnry – all marching to a centralized command and control hive mind.
Susan Swain shows a video during that Philip K. Howard interview. It’s a public union leader making a speech about protecting “the rights of the unions.” He is literally foaming at the mouth. Those public sector union leaders are rabid thugs who do not shy away from threatening violence if their gravy train is unsettled. Top union thug, Richard Trumka (now deceased), stopped thuggin for the United Mine Workers and thugged his way into the top job at AFSCME.
All of the public sector unions are communist, all of them are dead-set against anything BUT more and more power and benefits for the public sector unions.
Richard Trumka’s son is now in control of some form of public union power. The flare-up of doing away with gas stoves started with him. Public unions and everything about them are a sick joke. U.S. citizens are being taken for fools by the public unions and their corrupt communist leaders.
I hope Sundance will start thumping the corrupt public sector unions as hard as he’s thumping these corrupt do-nothing politicians who are all eating from the same public union trough of ill-gotten gain financed by the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank. Public sector unions should be obliterated.
A joyful hypothetical to read.
Mr. Grenell is the critical one. Even the thought of him being turned loose upon the Deep State is so delightful I have to keep myself from thinking it.
Pretty solid list. The Great Political Realignment continues. (Gabbard, Kennedy).
I’m sure we can find a competent emergency manager without letting a fox in the hen house. Trump had a stellar record on disaster management, and I doubt anyone remembers his FEMA Directors without looking them up. You don’t want a Bushie in there when China unleashes COVID #2.
Not coincidentally, Trump’s last nominee (Byard) pulled out on Feb 1, 2020…just a few weeks before COVID went viral. You don’t want Jeb Bush giving Fauci-style pressers.
I don’t know what I’m worried about, though. Bush probably wouldn’t take the job.
What this country doesn’t need is another Bush family member PERIOD in the federal government. All you need to do is look at what Jeb & Karl Rove have been doing in this & past election cycles to know they are the day workers for the WEF.
Sorry, Sundance, been there & done that with the Bush family who are the worst of the RINOs.
Yep, I see no upside to letting the Bush family get their nose back under the tent. Just hiring Ken Paxton as AG would kill any chance of the Bushies wanting to work in a Trump administration, lol.
Okay. Your the boss. But Jeb!, Massie, MTG, Vivek? Idk about these guys.
I would not be surprised to learn that Vivek and RFK are teammates of Trump. Vivek’s job is to represent MAGA at the debates so Trump doesn’t have to. RFK’s job is to wreck the Democrat nominee, and the polling seems to bear that out so far.
Vivek, however, will have to get a lot smarter quickly in the machinations of Government. He’s quick on his feet and speaks with authenticity. But the job of a Defense Secretary isn’t to get into verbal sparring matches and give one-liners on TV. He would have to go into a DoD that has gone full bore woke crazy and root out the weeds. There are entire departments in DoD organized to advance woke craziness and it is embedded in all the military training curricula from basic training to the service academies to the military war colleges. That’s all going to have to be ripped out and burned. Just that alone will be a massive undertaking with significant internal #resistance.
He’s going to have to weather a storm when he does the right thing and boots every tranny out of the military and directs the military to deny security clearances to people who have or are planning to “transition”. That’s going to take balls of steel because the screaming and shrieking will be intense.
And then there’s the problem of the General Officers. At the end of WWII with a 25M man military, you could count the number of 4-star generals on one hand. Today, in a military a tiny fraction of the size, there are over 40. You can’t swing a dead cat in a Combatant Command HQ these days without hitting three Colonels and two flag officers. That’s all going to have to be rethought.
The problem isn’t at the combat commands. It’s the idiotic agencies at the pentagon. Some general in charge of an agency to think of agencies.
What Trump needs is a small group of trusted advisers. Remember that during the Clinton years, Clinton picked Webster Hubbell as the #4 man at justice, so he wouldn’t have to face a confirmation process. He was essentially the Attorney General, since all decisions had to go through him. Trump should remember this in picking a cabinet.
It may be that there are some of the “trusted advisers” that PDJT is usually most loyal to that he must be distanced from. Those globalist family members that were providing “political” advice resulted in many of the choices and decisions that were “politically expedient” but had results contrary to the stated overall goal.
Carson would be a great VP pick IF it were a matter of cleaning up with a broom and dustpan…..but afraid we need a Viking wielding a heavy two handed sword committed to setting an example and establishing a serious understanding of consequences!
Interesting we posted our comments on Carson at precisely the same time!
The only one I would say NO to is Jeb Bush. Talk about admitting a snake into MAGA. The Bush family is poison.
I love Ben Carson and say a big YES to him. He’s truly a spiritual being not a phony Christian like Pence.
Jeb! could be the Federal Procurement and On-Site Facilitator for the North Slope Federal Government Complex.
Being on duty 24/7 will show how a Bush! can get things done first-hand.
Or he can freeze – whatever…..
Except this list takes most of our guys out of Congress, and we need them in there to lead the legislative fight.
Sundance, my Guru! This explanation is enlightening… still some mystery, but I always trust you. Blessings & Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
“Wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to?”
A: FBI Director Clay Higgins at the
Hoover BuildingSeth Rich Building.Only this time the Swamp loses!
Joy to the world! I love, ‘put up or shut up.’ That will apply to them all and should be included after “so help me God.”
Absolutely brilliant, Sundance! I’ve been wondering how Trump would/could staff his administration to hit the ground running, probably on November 6, if the ground game that’s been put together for the Iowa caucuses is any indication.
Considering the tens of thousand citizen workers ready to go to staff the “government” for 4 years….yeah, it’ll be a thing to behold!!!!!
Thank you Sundance for this most Encouraging topic. I have been up most of the night reading over 500 comments by people all going in the same direction seeking the same goal. What I’ve read tonight gives me a lot of hope.
Thank you and everyone here.
Sundance, I would beg you to find someone else to fill FEMA and CIA slots to replace people we know are snakes, referring to the lady and the snake fable. In my opinion, the dynamics of the silos can change depending on the personnel installed at the top. If we give a Bushie and a died-in-wool democrat a place in a silo, we will allow them to expand the enemy’s contol of that silo. And even if MAGA deputies are aware and try to publicize the truth, the traitorous media won’t inform the public.
At this point in the process, I think MAGA needs to circle the wagons with only those we/you have judged as tried and true America First-Constitution First personnel.
I propose Sundance for head of FEMA!
I think putting a well known, somewhat charismatic figure, like RFKjr into the position of CIA Director would focus sunlight on this agency because RFKjr does not want to sit in shadow.
He will certainly learn all of their secrets and his personality will not let him keep quiet or let the scumbags run rampant.
Especially with three or so layers of MAGA working just below him….!!!
When considering my fantasy list I’m looking for some that would be seeded for future federal and state governments. Some names that come mind together with a Dream list are (in no particular order) Deven Nunez, Gary Collins, Lee Zeldin, Mark Meadows, Elize Stefanik, Chris Miller, Ezra Cohen Watkins, Ben Carson, Alan West, John Radcliff, Josh Hawley, Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Kari Lake, Ken Paxton, Peter Navarro, Rick Grenell, Steve Bannon, john Eastman, Sidney Powell, William Bratton, Ray Kelly, john Kerik, Kash Patel, Steve Moore, Steve Forbes, Stephany Pomboy, Robert Malone, Scott Atlas, Peter McCullough, Ryan Cole, Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Green, Perry Johnson, Robert Kennedy Jr. Alan Dershowitz. Vivek Ramaswany, Mike Rodgers, Greg Jarret, Michael Flynn, Dan Bongino, Seth Keshel, Margot Cleveland, Joe Dunsford, Rudy Giuliani, Joe DeGenova, Tom Massie, Rick Scott, Scott Sund, Tusi Gabbard. Victor David Hanson, Edward Snowden. And more.
Now decide where to move these agencies so they aren’t all clustered in DC. Put the FBI in the worst city for Crime; St Louis, Chicago, New Orleans.
Put the dept of the interior in the interior!! Grand Junction Co.
And how about which departments to eliminate? The Department of Education. Most of the Department of Energy.
How about ending Indian reservations. Give them the land, create a corporation to manage shared resources and give individual Indians a deed to their own property. And of course start requiring that they live up to the standards all Americans do; pay taxes, get a job, get off welfare, etc.
I like the idea of ending Indian reservations.
Put 98% of federal agencies in North Slope AK, then as they dwindle in number, consider moving them elsewhere – but not too soon, else the rot will ruin other parts of the country.
Compiling this list required a lot of knowledge and careful, time-consuming, thought. Thank you, Sundance.
I can’t wait to see all the DS people out of the WH.
No way, RFK; seriously, did you do a deep dive? Dear God…not in our White House administration.
The political realignment that has been going on in the country for the last 15-20 years is globalist vs. MAGA. Government Party vs. America. For all his policy flaws, RFK (like Tulsi Gabbard) is much closer to the anti-globalist, anti-government party coalition than he is to the globalist/Government Party side of things. If he’s not, as Sundance puts it, “put up or shut up”.
That being said, I wouldn’t put him at CIA. I’d put him at FDA or HHS to get to the bottom of whatever Pharma and China have been doing wrt COVID, and to purge the bureaucracy of all the people who pushed unhealthy masks and an unsafe vaccine on the public. I’d also turn him loose on organizations like the AMA and AAP which were full-on participants in the authoritarian COVID response. He needs to make all of the COVID response nonesense public and he needs to disclose things that will send Fauci to his grave a disgraced man.
That seems to be in his wheel house.
Do we have to wait for Fauci, or will sentencing be forthwith?
first things first. identify and defuse AG Sessions 2.0 scenario.
Where were Victoria Nuland, Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett?
They were pulling the levers w/o the visibility. ID these operatives and remove them day one then fill the position with worker bees not queens.
Pull their clearances.
In fact, reevaluate everyone with a clearance and ruthlessly “weed the garden”. Watch the rats scurry!
How about Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing as director and deputy director of the FBI? Douglas MacGregor and Robert L. Maginnis (perhaps Secretary of the Army) in important posts in the Department of Defense? Kari Lake as vice-president and Sidney Powell on the Supreme Court? As a Texan, I say yes to Ken Paxton as Attorney General!
Joe and Victoria are pushing Nikki Haley for VP
Missed that, dang.
Any idea when they said it?
Repeal the 16th Amendment….STARVE THE BEAST. Take away its funding…without money there will be no tyranny. STRIP THE ENTIRE SYSTEM OF FUNDS.
NO MERCY
It is not enough that (most) of these people are loyal to Trump. They must also be loyal to MAGA, and many of them are not.
What we need in a second Trump administration is PURITY.
The problem you run into is the same one the French ran into after the French Revolution. They turned on each other and then the executions started. (Reign of Terror) Essentially, some of the revolutionaries were killed for being insufficiently dedicated to the revolution.
That being said, I do think MAGA needs a statement of first principles to guide us. There are certain things that animate MAGA:
I’m sure we can think of more, but I think we avoid the “purity” problem by saying “This is what MAGA is. If you’re not on board, don’t apply. If you apply and can’t deliver, we will show you the door…quickly.”
See, right here is a comment that helps everyone. Essentially, what is our target goal and work backwards to today. And time is too short to be fighting over names, per se, and people need to settle together where all stand.
Every so often I’ll encourage CTH and the Trump people to start writing down a list of MAGA principles. We’re too easily redefined as reactionaries (defined by what we oppose) instead of defining what we are for.
“America is a country where Americans live. We have little to no need for more immigrants. Our MAGA focus is on defending our borders, sending illegals home, and reindustrializing America where Americans will work.”
“Energy independence is economic and political freedom. We will deregulate energy production to lower energy prices and help Americans by reducing our costs of living. We will build pipelines and expand energy development.”
“The purpose of the American military is to defend the American people from our enemies and to defend our borders from invasion. We will rearm the military to accomplish these goals, deploy them to defend our borders, and get them out of global quagmires which deplete our human capital and military strength. We will stop the ongoing foreign invasion of this country so that people can live and work without fear.”
“The Federal Government has waged a civil war on American citizens by conducting fraudulent investigations, jailing dissidents, and using the weapons of government intended for overseas enemies on regular citizens. We will defund and disband these organizations and reform them so that future generations can sleep at night without worry that their government is hiding in the bushes planning a SWAT raid and listening to our every word. We will defund and disband organizations that suppressed free speech to advance false government-approved narratives. Those responsible for weaponizing government will be arrested and prosecuted.”
And so on.
I can’t overstate how important this is.
“High tariffs on foreign enemies (specifically China, which owes Trillion$ from COVID).”
China is not the enemy the Deep State media says it is, and I’m personally convinced it was Washington who unleashed COVID on the world.
“Very much a Peace Through Strength policy.”
And how exactly do we do that? Whenever the neocon infiltrators wanted to pick a fight with China, Iran, or Russia, all they had to do was invoke “Peace Through Strength” and a lot of us would believe them. So excuse me if “Peace Through Strength” comes off as an Orwellian slogan to me right now.
The Chinese government is objectively evil. If Washington unleashed covid in Wuhan, it was with the full cooperation of the ChiComms.
Nobody picks a fight with the guy that can knock you out with one punch. A strong national defense, led by strong economic policies, creates a safer world. We can do that without all the neocon military disasters.
Yes, the CCP is evil. That doesn’t change the fact that Washington had far more to gain from COVID than Beijing did.
In fact, Beijing had NOTHING to gain from COVID. They didn’t want Trump gone. Why would they? He wanted to normalize relations with them. But you know who didn’t want that? The neocons who infiltrated the Trump administration. Pompeo, Bolton, etc. They wanted regime change in China, for ideological reasons. So they arranged a false flag operation, and had their media partners push a false narrative blaming China for something they themselves did, and did ALONE. Because they want war, at any cost.
You say that nobody picks a fight with the a guy who can knock you out with one punch? Guess what? These guys do exactly that.
No Bushies. None. Zero. Nada. If we want proof that no one with any close association with the Bush Clan can be trusted in a MAGA administration, let’s remember that the Bushes and their minions were behind the scheme in Texas to remove Ken Paxton as Attorney General, concocting the most vile of reckless lies and deceptions in their failed attempt to do it.
While I appreciate the list and agree with many of the selections I would advocate for Lee Zeldin as VP and Mike Davis as AG. Zeldin is a doer, and has broad appeal as evidenced by his near win in NY’s governor race. Additionally, Lee is the son of an Orthodox Jewish Rabi, let’s watch the left show their arse more as they call him a Nazi. Furthermore, it would serve to drive the antisemitic wedge further through the heart of the D party. Regarding the DOJ, Ken Paxton needs to stay put in Texas to thwart the growing RINO dissent in that state. Texas is the home of our power base and as such we need to protect it. Mike Davis knows how to go on offense.
I have changed my opinion of Mike Davis. He is too close to Charles Grassley who is in a closely held silo without the capability of sticking his head out of it. Mike Davis has a thin skin and he reacts immaturely to conflict. I’m finding him to be more of blowhard than a real thoughtful realistic constitutional attorney.
I know he is constantly on Warroom and Bannon likes him but I don’t see much of what he predicts as coming true. If you disgree with Mike Davis he gets nasty. I lost most respect for him during the Cali GOP issue where he got very nasty with sundance on X.
The next question is how to get them approved by the Senate. Or… just have them operate “in interim” the entire or a portion of the time, after which they switch places?
And if President Trump really wanted to send the Democrats/liberals/leftists into apoplectic fits he should appoint Orly Taitz his Chief of Staff. She’s a fighter like Kari Lake, and her fluency in various languages would be a plus.
Of course all this assumes the communists in the senate would confirm these appointees. Or the GOPe. But I repeat myself.

Trump asked Mark Steyn for advice when he won in 2016, Steyns advice was fire everyone.
That’s Trumps best best list. Fire everyone.
Now how do we get them approved by the snakes in the Senate?
Blackmail them.
Amazing!! Just as I thought, I emailed a few huge DJT supporters who said this about Dr. Ben Carson VP
A win win.
I agree, I admire that man, and most certainly every other person on earth does too…..talk about real role model for all.
Let’s say the Dems steal the election again.
All this then becomes moot.
What’s the plan of action then?
Secession?
I like the creativity. How about Tucker for Press Secretary? Love to see these exchanges.
I personally think it is a demotion of his freedom of speech for Tucker to become a mere press secretary. Not an easy job, but Tucker commands more presence outside of this position.
Wow, Sundance you have surprised me by some of your selections. Not necessarily in a bad way, just surprised. I love your logic/connection points though.
Hope this message gets through to the Trump Team. I was wondering though on Russ Vought (sp?). OMB?
Russ Vought for OMB is one of the handful of absolutely key people who must rejoin PDJT’s team doing mostly what they were doing before the 2020 election was stolen. Others in this boat include Peter Navarro, Kash Patel, Rick Grennell and some others. Read Peter Navarro’s two books and you will discover that people like Steve Mnuchin were fighting the Trump MAGA agenda throughout his first term. Any people looked at for joining the Trump economic team should be vetted by Navarro before the transition.
