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
And have all nominations set, secret and ready to go on an interim basis THE MOMENT Pres Trump Is sworn in, BEFORE Mitch has an opportunity to gavel in the Senate. Orders READY TO GO AND SENT OVER the moment Pres Trump takes his oath. No more allowing Mitch to dictate who gets into the Cabinet or making sure nominations he doesn’t want are slowed down, drawn out or obstructed.
That way they can get to work on day one. Mitch and friends can then be dealt with. I’m sure the dirt on them is endless.
Why do we wait till Jan for the new admin to take office?? Election = get out, new guys are taking charge!
Within 6 days Biden was running his “Office of the President Elect” with tons of back-up logo swag.
There is precedent. All part of his gaslighting thugging operation – don’t you dare contest this election.
And I’ve noticed, for all practical purposes — as far as foreign affairs as concerned — they deal ONLY w/ the incumbent group. It should be that well domestically, as well. (I know; goes against my Constitution-is-always-right doctrine, w/ the president serving four year terms. God knows the dems have ignored it. On this vital issue, so can we.)
OMG, Yes!!! I remember that newly created “office” from which slow joe and his minions would speak. That was a major red flag that that this was indeed a regime, a cabal. It was a “stage.” And since then, slow joe has used a stage that is the replica of a WH office, under pretense that it IS in the WH.
Mitch needs to be ditched from his leadership role. And none of his RINO friends should be allowed to take his place.
One strategically placed marble floor at JUST the right time should do the trick nicely.
Plenty of staircases in the Capital.
We can only dream…..
Specifically, John Thune. He is another Kevin McCarthy, another Frank Luntz, mini Mitch, just there to collect their perks.
John Cornyn from Tx is the same.
IDK, the confirmation process takes long enough. Announce many of them right away. Save some for later. Nothing says “Wray is fired” better than announcing Matt Gaetz is the nominee 24 hours after Trump wins.
I think the mass firings below the Cabinet level should wait. They should be all at once and sent out on Inauguration Day. Literally the first EO should terminate all political appointees in every department effective 4pm that day.
“,…all POLITICAL appointees,…”
You must be unaware of the “embedding” process developed by Obama admin.
Initially like previous new admins they brought in 3-5000 mostly campaign staffers as “political appointees” into jobs that are universally recognised AS Political appointment jobs.
But then, Obama transfered them INTO the Civil service, in related jobs, same dept usually, but jobs that had all of the “civil service protections” and of coarse brought in someone new to replace the transferred personelle.
Rince/repeat for 12 years and you have a civil service stuffed with ideologues in key positions, ostensibly ‘protected’ from firing.
Just because they can’t be fired doesn’t mean they can’t be transferred. Send them all over to GSA, National Parks, anywhere else where they keep their pay and years of service but are only responsible for buying pencils by the millions and building concrete outhouses
Border patrol in Alaska 🙂
I wish I could up-vote this suggestion 1,000 times…..
Yeppers…the North Slope needs to be well looked after!
Lateral them into oblivion.
Department of Sewerage.
Nice! I like it!
They only get to keep their pay for one year, those are civil service rules.
Civil service can be fired, just takes effort but I’ve seen it. I know of a woman that bought a teddy bear at an airport for her child with her government credit card (that’s a no, no). She didn’t have any cash on her she claimed, she denoted it on her expense account and reimbursed the cost of the teddy bear.
Flash forward, 3 years later she ticked off the wrong person. She was fired over the teddy bear purchase. I know another guy that was surfing ebay on government computers on government time. He too ticked off the wrong people and was fired for defrauding the government. Another guy made a smart ass comment, a distasteful one but everybody knew he was joking. His supervisor disliked him and claimed he made a terroristic threat. Three years, court battles, he settled by retiring.
So don’t tell me a government employee can’t be fired they can. Travel expenses are easy easy. What are the odds they’ve purchased an alcoholic drink or a souvenir both big no no’s, boom fired.
I imagine an enormous abandoned hanger on an abandoned airstrip in remote west Kansas.
Its fitted out with hundreds even thousands of small desks in ranks and files, with only a pad and a pencil on the desk, no computer phone, and cell service blocked (sorry, no kiddie porn during work hours.) Come to think of it the area I’m thinking of is miles between cell towers, so phones don’t work. A supervisor sits in front of the room with the only phone, recieves emergency calls only. No personal devices allowed (security, you know.)
A break room with drink machines and sandwich machines. Minimal restrooms. You have to get the idea by now.
Our 50k deep staters are told the address of their new work assignment the weekend before. No infrastructure out there, closest will be tiny farm towns, small meat and three restaurants, no motels.
The assignment is to wait for the phone up front to ring and someone to give them something, anything to do.
Of course if they are not happy they can resign.
If they abandon their job they lose all access and benifits.
One important thing.
Every one of the 50k’s security clearances = CANCELED! At the So help me God of PDJTs oath.
I think the Govt property has enough unused storage spaces to pull this off. Mainly, cut off access to secrets and info, to the Washington social swirl, and any status seeking whisper curcuit.
Let’s see how long they last.
Can’t they all be “detailed/SF52” to a low level, no clearance, do nothing position. Hey, make a new department & dump them all there!
I like that! In as Godforsaken a place as can be found, with unheated outhouses as the only toilet facilities.
I suggest the Aleutian Islands, off of Alaska.
With the proviso that if, while domiciled there, a sudden turn of natural-occuring events happen–say, a volcanic eruption or wildfires–we will be sure to write each of them a $700.00 for their trouble (ala the people in Hawaii).
BTW, there should only be one-way transport provided: TO the islands, not FROM the islands.
When my Uncle was sent there in WWII the Sargent said beautiful Pacific Island with a pretty native girl behind every tree.
Guess what?
No trees.
I’ve forgotten the names, but remember the witch from Florida that Bill Clinton hired FIRST THING to be the New Attorney General who vacated all the attorneys in the Dept in about her first 30 Minutes.
The creature in charge of Ruby Ridge and Waco.
She fired everyone because it TRASHED every single Prosecution moving through the system, INCLUDING MANY THAT WERE ALREADY HANDED TO THE JURY and SURE to bring back convictions, and their Target was all the Child Molestations, and related crimes.
Janet Reno.
Very Nasty stories about her work PRIOR to the White House, in Florida. When Bill was still just campaigning, he sent someone down to investigate her for that position, and the investigator knew all the dirty down-low on her and told the investigator, thinking that would scotch THAT.
Little did that person (the one who had all the info that was given to the investigator for Bill) realize, Janet was PRECISELY the Person Bill DID want, for the reasons the investigators learned about.
My Message is, Clean House. Only be as careful about it as Bill Clinton was. About WHO. not so much HOW.
And I am strict about How.
But get the Mud from theses HURRICANES out of the buildings.
Do not let the mud dry in and just lay carpet over it.
Some of you who have been Flooded know what I mean.
She was one nasty piece of work.
What makes you think Reno was Bill’s pick. I tell everyone Hillary already had two terms. The various Janet’s (all 5 foot 200 lb cropped hair uglies) were Hiliaries picks.
If $lick was stafing things they would all look like HarMonica.
I’d forgotten that. Really irksome. How about identifying them now, and having job transfers to the most miserable places you can find with zero duties or authority ready to go the day he is sworn in? There must be something like this that can be done. Or simply fire everyone of them and let them battle through the courts, then ignore the judges – that’s what the left would do.
Fire them and then make them re-apply for their positions if they still want them. HOWEVER, first clean house in the hiring/recruitment offices…..
Considering Obama’s treason and illegitimacy as president, any action he took to embed them is null and void, get rid of them! IF they want to challenge this, send them to Alaska…
Not Alaska, Death Valley
Yeah, VSGPDJT needs to TOTALLY neuter the SES, for starters!!!!
They are immediate schedule f employees and removed or their salary down to $1/year via executive action..re. Trump.
Many of the ones Obama embedded had not completed their probationary period and could have been fired on day one. Depending on the job the probationary period is one to three years. The vast majority are one year. During that period they can be fired for any reason.
Sooooo, on day one demand a list of civil service employees hired during the past year or three years. If they’re based in DC they should probably be fired because they are Biden embeds.
Start with NO FURTHER CIVIL SERVICE HIRES. Then declare no new Federal Positions. This expanded government is not only a waste of Government funds, it just creates more and more red tape accompanied by shenanigans that ultimately upends the rule of law.
Typically they do and must tender resignations. But with this current installed regime, law or practice will be ignored.
Has anyone even seen him lately?
I think we should enlarge the Supreme Court with all young MAGA candidates.
The lesson the Democrats learned from 0bama 1, assuming they would have four full years of total government control so there was time to act, then losing total control, the lesson applied in 0bama 3, The Biden Administration: Pedal To The Metal From the first second.
Jordan and Comer also learned that lesson and applied.
Mitt Romney
The Office of the Whipping Boy
Whereby, every time the cabinet makes a bad decision, everybody gets to beat the bejesus out of Romney.
Works for me …
LOL.
Better yet would be to put him on permanent latrine duty.
HaHaHa….
No Time For Sargents with Andy Griffith
PLO = Permanent Latrine Orderly
Nah, he’d suck at that, too….
No. Not so much as a Hair. Not so much as Dog Catcher.
Without question, Sundance has an ‘in’ somewhere. I won’t waste time trying to guess where that ‘in’ is; suffice it to say I’m just glad that he/she is there.
One suggestion for President Trump before his inauguration; notify ALL political employees within the federal gov’t to resign prior to noon, 20 Jan 2025 (yeah, all 4K+ of them). If they wish, they can resubmit their resume for consideration. If you really believe that this government cannot function without them, you really don’t know how the government works.
Regarding Jeb Bush? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are absolutely correct. ANY TRUE AMERICAN OFF THE STREET can do a better job than the morons and traitors there now.
Bull hockey.
Put any True American Off the Street in senior DoD leadership and the retention level/recruiting problems become even worse than they are now.
Let’s not allow fancy to over-take common sense here. We’re talking about very complex organizations with multiple missions. Leadership has to have the right skills and experience……or people get killed. Political axe grinding may be emotionally satisfying but doesn’t cut it. Lay out the requirements and, if one must, the political litmus tests (which is what the Dems have done to the near exclusion of all other criteria – with predictable consequences). But don’t screw over those serving with the same witches brew that has severely weakened these institutions.
I can personally do a better job than SecDef and any individual on the JCS. Just their woke message is destructive. Ending that is an immediate upgrade.
I’ll take your word for it – on the first declarative.
I agree on the woke (especially CRT) stuff. Not hard to terminate those programs. The issue is how you go about effecting it. A simple “No mas. Terminate immediately” or an in your face philosophic statement right out of the gate that will surely stir the embers? What about the other “hands on”stuff like suicide prevention meetings and the various identity of the month recognition events?
As long as they aren’t race tilted, I’m OK. Purging senior officers would take time, but is easily doable in 4 years.
I get the imperative; see the need.
The problem (from my perspective) is how do it without de-stabilizing the organization.
It’s already destabilized.
I will take an honest someone with a learning curve over the America haters we have now! Fire em all and let GOD sort things out! (ex Army).
Ahhh….but have those patriots working levels, say, 5/6 to the bottom – that’ll work just fine.
…sorry, meant to say political ‘appointees’. ‘Employees’ suggests someone who actually works.
Someone has to say it: That would be both illegal and counterproductive.
You want every secretary to have to reapply for his or her position? Every janitor? Who is going to process the paperwork?
Schedule C was supposed to protect the average non-policy making Joe from vindictive actions, while assuring a continuity of government.
The problems lie in it being far too protected, and also overinclusive of people whose positions really do make policy.
The problem lies with the SES, created on a British model, that enables the stealth government.
Schedule F fixes those problems.
Day one:
Institute Schedule F
Remove the institutional “caretaker” people at the top levels of government to Siberia. These are the people who are going to tell you how it’s always been done, present the reasons why what you want to do can’t be done, and throw sand in the gears when you tell them to do it anyway. They’ll say you are losing institutional knowledge. No, you are sending a message that will reverberate.
Refuse “orientation ” sessions – just a form of bureaucratic psychological warfare to tame the incoming change agents.
Then you do have to deal with the lawyers. Each agency or department has an Office of Legal Counsel, and that works as a chokehold on many, many efforts.
The attorneys are all Exempt from Schedule C, so they are in theory easier to fire. It is also easier to hide discriminatory fires and promotions though.
If you were to look at the hiring records of those offices from 2008 to 2016, finding a hiring or a promotion of a straight white male would be like finding a needle in a haystack. You want to know the center of resistance? Outside of the SES, there’s your problem.
(That record is, by the way, a massive class action just waiting to be brought under federal discrimination laws.)
So, I would suggest an initial extremely sharp RIF of the lawyers in every department and agency by date of hire, do that you get back to at least pro-Obama hires.
Since they themselves discriminated so very much by race and gender, well, hoist on their own petard and they can’t claim racial discrimination if it’s universally by date of hire.
You’ll get rid of most of the Woke very promptly. And a lot of Claudine Gays who are often just mailing it in.
The goal is to expose the road blocks and eliminate them one by one. No one said this was a magic wand operation, it will be along slow slog but never give up.
We are now held hostage by the deep state and it is draining out every tax dollar. No question, this must stop. Be ready for the long haul. Benjamin Franklin is smiling at us.
Don’t forget the influences that either need to be removed (or advanced!) when it comes to promotion boards, etc.
REMEMBER JANET RENO!!!
Flush all the Lawyers First.
Consider keeping some of the Conservatives – if you can prove they ain’t RINO DIABLOS.
“Ole Billy was right. Let’s kill all the lawyers, kill ’em tonight.” Eagles song: “Get Over It.”
Speaking of mailing it in, do what Elon did when he took over Twitter. You’ll all be back in the office next week or we will consider that you have resigned
I love the ideas and knowledge on this site! I hope President Trump (or Don Jr) reads the comments.
Just delete the Office of Federal Employment and build a sister silo. Everyone can reapply.
Getting the lawyers involved? Fine by me. My tax dollars would finally be put to better use (throwing sand in the gov’t gears) than being spend on Ukraine…..
Give a business person a task, and they just ask when do you want this done.
Give a government worker a task, and all they do is tell you why it can’t be done.
What?
I recall a long ride during an annual military bubbas golf trip to an East Golf mecca that started as a memorial to squadron mates killed in an air mishap. Four of us were in the van. One senior businessman was on the phone for at least 4+ hrs with senior military leadership conveying what Congressperson so and so wanted for businesses in his district.
The stories (call em myths if you like) about what could happen in the P-Gon parking lot during some of these multi-billion dollar defense contract bidding processes are, to say the least, an eye opener.
No element of society is immune to corruption, greed, etc.
It’s hard work finding talented, experienced, blessed with personal integrity individuals. Sad to acknowledge…but it is what it is.
That is what it has been since the year Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden.
IT’s true even in relatively small school districts.
Yes, that is exactly what we mean. Why would have be “illegal”? Change the laws, and drive out the unions who have kept this nation in their stranglehold for far too long.
Were Tash Guahar and Lisa Monaco and Mary McCord, as an AUSA for decades, unionized?
Nope. And those three have done more damage than 1,000 SEIU reps combinef.
Fighting unions is a distraction from identifying they key targets, imho.
Hate unions? Okay, whatever, but they are at best, the unwieldy blunt tools of our true opponents.
Focus on the keystone. Focus on the SES.

Accurate
It’s just that its loyalties are to “a higher power ” that stands in opposition to the American Experiment.
The challenges to PDJT’s team of MAGA wolverines to reduce the administrative State ARE considerable.
THIS is one of the reasons why I have been advocating for pursueing theprecinctstrategy, IN ORDER TO conduct a MAGA insurgency WITHIN the State R parties, to eventually unseat the RINOS in the State R Party Executive Committees, who control who counts the votes,….
SO THAT MAGA can finally have at least ONE State that can use extreme Federalism to push back against Federal overreach.
Its a “complementary” system; if a Court decision is handed down, striping a Dept of the Fed. Gov. of any authority, it makes it much easier for PDJT’s Wolverines to shut it down, and no future admin can start it back up, cause of thenCourt ruling.
Simplified explanations, but you get what I’m saying?
Splitting hairs. Get the essential result, then clean up after.
Sounds like something AOC or Schumer might think to engineer their imperatives.
In a word: yep. ALL including the janitors should have to reapply. And the first in the order in which reapplications should be considered should be those who really do keep things running, lights on, etc: the janitors, maintenance crews, etc.
Why not?
And throw all the real work to contractors to get, say, that first FYDP out the hatch!
While I understand the sentiment – 100% Day 1 would be a prescription for disaster. Great time, however, for some country to make a play for Taiwan!
Let’s not get political objectives confused with getting the peoples’ work done. National Security doesn’t go into a holding pattern while scores are settled. The hard work of vetting, convincing, sometimes promoting, the right people takes time. Do it smartly and intelligently.
This is t settled scores. It’s absolutely getting rid of the globalists and anti-constitution types.
I want the same thing. The problem, however, is always the same: who gets targeted based on what criteria? I was once on the receiving end of such – you have to be very precise and certain when messing with other people’s lives. I prevailed because I knew the system/rules better than the neophytes on the attack. Just the same, it wasn’t pleasant anymore than it was justified.
Political appointees – pretty straight forward. All the rest? Problematic except in obvious cases.
Have a plan. Ensure the execution adheres to the values at stake in the first place. That’s all I’m advocating.
I agree. No Jeb Bush. No, No. We need to stop the bilingual nonsense. I get so tired of calling a company or gubberment and getting press 1 for English. Those that move here need to learn and function in our language. Not us in their language. It is fine to know another language, but immigrants need to learn English, just like the millions of Swedes, Germans, French etc have done for many years. I don’t understand why we have to cater to the Spanish speaking immigrants. There are enough divisions in the US without having a language division also.
Bravo! (Standing O.)
THAT is Constitutional, Required of New Citizens. I heartily Agree.
Only Way To BEGIN trying to Melt the Pot. That is why our Founders did it that way.
Amen!!!
Damn Gunner…got ’em talking, huh? Love to see the back and forth.
Nope, just tell everyone they are finished. If they want to re-apply, they will be MAGA vetted. Don’t let them resign. Just fire everyone. It’s faster and cleaner.
Btw, I think you meant political “appointees”, ie Senate confirmed, and I think they all need to go.
We’ll get to the SES and Flag Officers in time. Cleaning out the lower ranks will take a generation because you have to gut all the woke DIE training and deprogram people.
Put those slow ones all on notice and execute the plan. Remove all decision making authority. Micromanage the shiz out of them.
Until Bill Clinton’s advent it was routine that all Schedule C’s (political appointees) submitted their resignations on the last day of the term of the outgoing President. The resignations could be reconsidered (happened occasionally) but all politicals were gone tout de suite. President Trump’s signal failure IMO was his lack of understanding that ‘personnel is policy’ which was one of President Reagan’s mottos. There were thousands of Obama appointees who moved into regular civil service jobs before BHO departed (it’s called ‘burrowing in’). DJT did not have a chance of fully implementing his policies as a consequence. This time around he will be wiser.
Maybe the next list for Sundance is the absolute must go’s.
Nice idea, but we don’t want to tank the CTH bandwidth beyond all recovery… 🤣
It would be a nice gesture to the Bushies, and Jeb! wouldn’t be able to get into much mischief there
Why do those globalist asshats warrant a hat tip?
Hold your friends close; hold your enemies closer.
Jeb bush…none of them a toe into or under the tent..no.
Federal Communication Commission (FCC), Commissioner: Mike Benz

Jeffrey Clark, Clay Higgins and a host of State AG’s in Amicus for Trump deserve honorable mention for top positions.
Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), Secretary: Tom Homan…closes the Border and secures the elections.
Within that Massive Department rests CISA, which I believe is the beating heart of systemic election fraud.
“The 2020 election was the most secure in American history.” Chris Krebs former head of CISA
Indeed, the 2020 election was the most ‘secure’ in American history—secure from the free will of the people.
“Cybersecurity” becomes “Cybercensorship”
CISA is mostly run by ex-CIA, ex-NSA, ex-FBI, ex-military, and ex-private sector hacker professionals.”
CISA protects, and facilitates the growth of high tech systemic election fraud embedded within the US. Election process. Seize the process seize power. It’s private partner CIS shares an address with the Global Cyber Alliance which includes CTCL, the Center for Tech and Civic Life—the election reform?? group funded by Zucker-bucks in the 2020 election. CIS makes Albert sensors (spyware), devices which when attached to election machinery can track voting in real time.
https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/center-for-internet-security-cis/
Catherine Englebrecht, Gregg Phillips, David Clements, Kurt Olsen, Matt Deperno, Seth Keshel, and a host of others fighting for election integrity…especially Mike Lindell and his cyber-sleuths should have some part in this critical national security infrastructure…
Many of these picks are Trump loyalists—patriots who have suffered by their association with MAGA. Special consideration should be given to the courageous men and women battling the injustice and oppression resulting from the J6 Fedsurrection.
Great post👍🏻👍🏻
Your CISA comment is funny.
And in many cases true.
I met some of these folks in their later incarnations at places like DARPA and some others. It was perplexing thinking through “this person broke the law and here we are…senior leadership is all in. I’m not so sure.” Funny things happen when an organization (or society) can’t grow (or attract) best of breed in a given field..
♦ 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.]
Sundance, put the doobie down it has scrambled your brains! LOL, any Bush is best left in the bushes …
Nope. A Bush might do a bad job so that the POTUS will have to take the blame.
NO BUSHIES. NO!
“MIGHT”????????????????
Really?????????????????
Only, Just “Might”???????????????????
NOT on Your Life.
I would put him on Trial for Terri Schiavo’s LIFE and for making her Murderous husband a Millionaire, and give him a Stiff Penalty for that, but that is the best I could or ever Would do for J.E.B. Bush.
His reasoning – “Half the People say one thing, Half the people say the Opposite. I am in the Middle so I must Be Right.”
I say he was standing on the stripes in the middle of the highway like a stunned rabbit, and that is the reward he has coming straight at him, with Headlights glaring.
Was Dept of Education created at the federal level to mask growing numbers of illegals crossing our borders after SCOTUS mandated free K-12 for all illegals?
This put a huge burden on border states who now had to provide 13 years of free K-12 for very high birth rate illegals. Then like all other federal agencies – mission creep and regulatory capture. Dept of Education is a teacher union weapon of mass destruction and education quality has been sinking ever since its creation. A wholly useless operation.
Yet Biden’s teacher union driven open borders continues to sap local government now required to carry out the 1982 SCOTUS mandate – unfunded mandate. What were they thinking back then?
What were they thinking back then, you ask? I believe their plan worked and still works exactly as they intended.
BINGO!!! They played the peanut farmer!
Mark Ronbinson would have just been elected Governor of NC on that same day. I don’t think so. Besides, we need him badly here and he knows that.
*Robinson
Sounds good to me BUT I don’t like Pam Bondi. “Justice for Trayvon” Pam Bondi.
Was she also sweetheart deal for Epstein too? But wasn’t there some mutual payback between her and Trump sometime ago.
Dan Scavino why is Mark Elias busy?
You might want to look at some of scavino’s postings in the months following the 2020 election
Jeb Bush????? There is no one? Not one, that is as qualified to hold that office? What comes to mind…..”you knew I was a snake when you took me in”.
Ok….Now I get it……you (Sundance) did this on purpose…..to stir the pot.
Let’s hope so!
Let’s Roll January 20,2025!
How many recognized the beautiful lady under the hat and remember where the picture was taken?
Perhaps Melania
Where? please tell.
I can never get past the name on the hat; papa bush was evil and makes me physically sick seeing him praised.
Wow, Sundance!!! VERY well reasoned and some very magnanimous recommendations which might be well received. I think you think ALOT like President Trump might, so may I suggest……..HEY MR PRESIDENT, LQQK OVER HERE!!! (But he probably already does!!)
Excellent article and comments!
I do not like the choice of Rudy in such an important position. He did great things cleaning up NYC and his role in the Justice Department but he is a little past his use by date. There has to be a younger, loyal lawyer for that position.
Yeah Rudy needs to never, ever be seen in the same frame as Donald Trump.
Just a personal thing, I’m sure, but….I hate it when people say someone is “past (their) use date.” AGE IS NOT A DISQUALIFIER. There are 90 year-olds who are sharper than some 25-year-olds ever were — and vice-versa, of course. Not a factor.
Sarah Palin for VP as she has executive experience and had plus 85% approval rating and could serve 2 terms from 2029 to 2037. And Sarah Palin is responsible for Trump winning in 2016 because of her endorsement of Trump before the Iowa Caucus. Rand Paul would be served to take over as Majority Leader of the Senate
I like Sarah, but I think she comes with too much baggage for the position of VP. I would still love for her to get some position in the Trump Administration though.
MAGA and the Tea Party were made to get rid of unfair baggage piled on good people to assassinate their character.
Calling attention to her ‘baggage’ means they won the war on Sarah Palin and her family.
H 3 L L NO##### !!!!!!!!
Apparently you didn’t do background on her with McCain chose HER for a running mate, and when Ted Cruz was choosing Carly Fiorina.
Sarah Palin likes to endorse RINOS during PRIMARIES when the Leader in all races was a Conservative or today would be called a Trump MAGA supporter.
Sarah upended Nevada – in Her Day – like DeSantis did Colorado most recently with Joe O’Dea the GOP anti-Trump Senatorial candidate, running against Ron Hanks in the GOP Primary. Result same as Sarah’s in Nevada, Sarah’s endorsement THEN passed up the Conservative, but the RINO SARA ENDORSED lost to HARRY REID, who had been losing against the Conservative GOP.
Ron imitated that move this very last Colorado Senate Race and gave it to a Democrat. IN COLORADO.
Sarah did a long string of such things, nobody remembers because she was gorgeous and very delightfully Spunky.Utterly Adorable. Still is.
Just happens to be more dangerous to the Nation than she is to Democrats.
You do your homework, you cannot get around it.
Just the Pure unadulterated FACT.
By the way, I don’t remember Palin adding a thing to Trump’s cause, and if Trump were NOT so fabulous on the Campaign Trail, I might have voted AGAINST him, JUST BECAUSE of Palin.
HIS star was far brighter than hers, she was just running to the Light.
Sarah is all blow and no Go.
I like the idea of !Jeb¡ – it’s good on two fronts: yes, Jeb knows how to manage and two, it starts a move towards normal decorum in that it shows PDJT is appointing people who can get the job done regardless of personal differences which is fine as long as the core positions are “loyalists”.
Mayor Pete was selected for box checking and political reasons, not because he knows what he’s doing. I could care less if the assistant secretary of health dresses like a woman, what I do care about is health policy decision making based on science and fact, not political motives and ideology.
You must’ve watched both Sean Ryan show interviews w Prince. That dude is 💯legit and would be a rock star for America and the troops. He’s one of the smartest dudes I’ve seen when it comes to global politics. He’d be phenomenal at State or Defense. He’d be a phenomenal president as well. He is just switched ON, genius level, and honest. Plus it’d be a huge thumb in the eye of Obama and the globalists. He’d be a great COS as well because he understands the machine and doesn’t like it but know how to persevere, navigate, and come out in top despite the machine trying to chew him up and spit him out. Gabbard is also a great pick. Bannon is a big finance guy but also understands the geopolitical landscape. He should be someplace where he has big influence on China policy and the economy along with Navarro. Both of those guys together would be a powerhouse. Mike Flynn needs to be whete he can have a huge influence on all of intelligence agencies and he also needs to be paired up with someone like Patel. As for RFJjr and Bush. Not sure about those guys. I’m sure there’s someone out there that could get the job done that isn’t on TV 24/7 or a from a cabal of globalists and is part of MAGA that we’ve never heard of. And then there’s Rudy. I’ve read from a bunch of different sources that he’s getting older and losing a few steps. He’s America’s Mayor, maybe it’s time for him to just be pardoned, given a job on a committee that will keep him busy and enjoy life a little. Some of the others I don’t know about. That said, getting there will be the hardest part. Not sure what Trump can do to override the system that stole the election from a sitting president in 2020 and stole elections in 2022. Considering most of congress, the judiciary, and the GLOBAL Administrative State are working against him, he’s got a behemoth of a mountain to climb if he’s still alive to do it in Jan 2025. I hope he’s got a better plan than on Nov 6 2020 and Jan 6 2021, because you can’t fight communists who have taken over the entire system with a microphone and words and expect to win. At this point one man can’t fix this, only God’s grace and the awakening of Patriots willing to stand up and stand in the streets like Ukraine 2014, is the only thing that can save us.Don’t see that happening unfortunately, I think God is pretty pissed, Old Testiment style right now.
Rise and shine Patriots, it is twilight in the Republic, dawn is far away and the early bird gets the worm. Ready your mules and put them to work as if the generations in front of you depend on your vigor; or your harvest will bear none and your people will be hungry for generations to come. They will never be satisfied; and will never know why until He decides to reveal to them the truth that was hidden by the generations before them, and before them, through our sloth and apathy, greed and lust. Hidden by our failure to embrace and preserve with our very last breath, the lessons in history and the Bible, the gifts and sacrifices from our Founding Fathers and obedience to the laws of God.
Godspeed 🇺🇸 and God bless
What would make you think Jeb Bush would accept a position as FEMA director???? The Bush clan ARE the enemy…..I am extremely puzzled by this even if you think they would be effective in that role…if they lose they will be trying to disrupt again not help out.
Agree. I’m sure he would pass. Remember, expecting the Republican Party to coalesce around PDJT is a pipe dream. They will work even harder to sabotage everything he does. No Bushies, Clintons, Romeneys–none of these. No RINOs.
Assuming what I think even Democrats,are now acknowledging as a given, that PDJT will get the nomination, and be declared the winner, he WILL get the argument from the RNC that he needs a NIKKI as VP to “unite the party, so we can beat the Dems in November” and I pray he resists this argument, vehemently.
The RINOS make this argument when they lose, but never when they win.
Let this election, if it dors nothing else, finalise the divorce between the MAGA Base, and the RNC abusers, “the Big Ugly” as Sundance calls it.
I agree..Jeb would be a snake.
EXACTLY WHY JEB would want the FEMA job –
To Destroy from within!
Exactly why he shouldn’t get it.
The USA doesn’t need to be Terri Schiavo’d.
Nice picture. Telling hat.
Got it.
Grins.
Do not neglect the Executive Office of the President. The various councils set up in the EOP hold positions that steer policy behind the scenes. Many need to go completely. These are the non-elected folks that can undermine America First right under the nose of POTUS. They are the Executive office managers whispering the agenda. They are silos of their own.
Also, believe the the plan MUST include a lot of heavy lifting to have the right 2026 Congressional & 2028 POTUS Candidate(s) preparing to “win” and keep the momentum going, otherwise as Sundance pointed out, 4 years will not be enough time to turn this large boat in the ocean 180° as required to due to the 8 years of Obama, the 4 years of behind the scenes coup to remove Trump and Obidens 3rd term. The fundamental change of America needs to be stopped in its tracks IMO.
Add in 4 years of “W” who sew all the seeds that Obammy harvested, as well as 8 years of Clintonian befoulment, toss in 4 years of Pappi Bush, we’re looking at just over 30 years of “COW” betrayal,…so no not going to fix it all in 4, or even 12 years, which is why WE need to get busy at the State and County level.
I’m sorry, but what is, “COW” a reference to?
C- clinton, O = obama, W = bush (the “dubba u” one.
aka BubbObammunistaShrub
Essential reading on Salinas, Massieu, Texas Commerce Bank, and Jeb!
https://badlands.substack.com/p/a-family-affair?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
There’s an awful lot to prosecute.
Prosecuting your own FEMA Director? Not a good look.
Never forget, Jeb got an envelope.
More than WELL Earned and Well Deserved.
He’s a pure Creep.
Me: I had to go back and re-read the following several times to get the full understanding of what Sundance was saying and I now do understand.
What Sundance said: Knowing this, and fully understanding the skills, strengths and weaknesses of each potential VP selection, I look at the Big Picture through the prism of who do I want at the helm, that has enough loyalty to ensure the deconstruction takes place and/or continues and holds the integrity/fortitude to provide me some measure of assurance. I guess this is the proverbial trust factor, only this time it’s even more important.
Right now, only one person hits that level of integrity for me, Dr. Ben Carson.
I trust Dr Ben Carson to understand the MAGA vision; to understand how the MAGA vision becomes manifest through policy; and, more importantly, to stay true to the MAGA vision if called upon to execute.
Me: I don’t know if Carson has that kind of integrity and fortitude to do exactly what’s needed but I do agree it’s exactly what’s needed.
To many times when a person takes over a successful executive position they think they have to change things with new untried policies, to make their mark or whatever other egocentric reason comes to mind. If this happens with a person taking over from Trump it would probably be the end of all the successes President Trump instituted. Why? Because if the new polices didn’t work you can be sure they would try something else to see if that worked. The bog down has started and in most cases will continue that way. It would take a will of iron with no ego to revert back to the tried and true.
Or course even if Carson stayed true to Trump policies would he have the aptitude to make changes that actually did need to be changed as Trump would have done. It’s a conundrum we have no answer to except to pick someone and go on faith.
So I can see why Sundance chose Carson.
Do your Research on such as Gun Rights, Open Borders, Citizenship for Illegals…
Moves his Party Affiliations to the Right as fast as he “reasonably” can, but not his Standards along with them.
Do some digging.
President Trump made a snarky comment about day one. It was a response to the meme of his being a dictator. I’d love to have some insight on that. Seems like he has thought it out
Wow,…pay attention.
THEY said hexwas going to be a dictator.
He said (in effect) “Well yes I am, but only for ONE DAY.”
What he meant is that literally “on day one” he will sign EO’s rescinding all of Joes disasterous policies and reinstituting the policies PDJT had put in place by EO, during his previous term.
For starters, I hope!
One thing I like about the idea of Dr. Ben Carson for VP is that, President Trump needs a prayer partner “in the office.” He already has Melania at home. While President Trump is fine tuning the skill set in Dr. Carson for him to become President, I can foresee Dr. Carson fine tuning President Trump on those character qualities that some people find so offensive. I think he would be that spiritual brother that acts as “iron sharpening iron” and that would give glory to God.
Well, again your argument persuades me MORE, that Kari Lake, not PDJT is THE right choice for VP.
BECAUSE of her experience IN the media, KNOWING how they operate, she is actually MORE “media savvy” than PDJT.
She never got tagged with false representations of her words by truncated statements, such as “In Charlsetown there were good people on both sides,..”
She floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee, but does it a little more deftly than frankly anybody I have ever seen.
I’m sorry, Dutchman, but I do not understand your comment. You said, ” Kari Lake, not PDJT is THE right choice for VP.”
Fine Tuning would all be AWAY from the Bible and the Constitution. Such as “Self Defense”, and Sanctity of the Home. Borders.
ALL this assumes that there will be an actual election next year. Which in turn assumes that the DeepState will have been neutered enough before November for there to actually be a 2024 election. Cool!
20 Black Swan 24
There is simply NO provision for cancelling or postponing elections, and so to do so is to effectively surrender any illusion of authority; they will never surrender.
Ain’t gonna happen.
If the country can get past voter fraud via mail in ballots, a COVID 2.0, expanded war in Ukraine and the Mideast, Chinese attacks on allies (or us), illegal alien attacks and UAP events, then… a lot of the harm Obama did was put in place from the moment Trump won right up to inauguration day, including interfering with the transition group and targeting members of his inner circle. Not a thing Obama, the FBI and the IC did was to strengthen America and make Trump’s administration a success but rather to demean the man and confine his ability to do anything. It’s even possible the IC will permit (yes!, permit!) Trump to win in ’24 and make sure the Congress has a Democrat majority in both chambers to limit restoration efforts internally. They really want him to have no discretion internationally and there are many levers to limit the President’s action on foreign affairs… the equivalent of Jim Acostaing his every non-domestic initiative. We will be in a state of war from the moment of a Trump victory till he leaves office. Rooting out saboteurs will be a full-time effort.
Once past this gauntlet… all of the personnel choices listed above are really great and I could endorse them as is.
One huge omission from your list of potential cabinet members is Devin Nunes . However, when one considers he would have to give up his position as CEO of Truth Social, etc. maybe the omission makes sense:
Yes – Seems to me that when the TwatterX, FauxBook, InstaGrim, GooglEvil, and ScrewYouTube crumble into the dustthey deserve, TruthSocial could emerge…
…though at this point, even the word “social” should be drummed out of the lexicon for a long period of wandering in the desert…
Love it!!! Emerald Robinson would also make a great WH Press Secretary!
Also got to replace that trans Navt Admiral
1) Ooh forgot about her.
2) Bring General Don Bolduc out of retirement
I mentioned the very intelligent,articulate, loyal, and Christian Dr Carson long ago as a great VP pick. Also great optics
“Loyal” being a very key word. “Integrity” and “loyalty” are two of the first words that come to most real Americans’ minds when they hear Ben Carson’s name.
Not to mention intelligent and knows HOW to think!
Interestingly enough, Paul Ingrassia has a different idea on the VP. He argues for Tucker Carlson.
Here’s the link, it’s an interesting read:
https://paulingrassia.substack.com/p/on-president-trumps-vice-presidential
In the first two paragraphs on the requirements of MAGA loyalty and Insurance policy,…he makes a GREAT argument for,….KARI LAKE.
As for Tucker? Oh HELL no!
Michael Malice for press secretary, let’s gooo! 😀
VP Choice to make MSM heads explode: Don Trump Jr. ( just kidding, but would be entertaining).
I watched a John Solomon special that highlighted an initiative by the Heritage Foundation called, ‘Project 2025’. They are recruiting 20000 average American’s to serve in the next administration. They will even provide training. It sounds like a great program. We have got to get as many ordinary Americans, (moms,dads, farmers, mill workers, tech gurus etc), back in gov before it’s too late.
https://www.project2025.org
Some interesting picks but, when I think about them they look like pure genius! What about VP? If Haley gets the nod, that would give me considerable grounds to rethink my support for President Trump.
Not gonna happen!
Never even a thought from the Trump team.
That’s pretty much as likely as PDJT’s waking up one morning and thinking “Hey how about Nancy Pelosi for my VP?”
🤣🤣🤣
All of these are significant upgrades over what we have now, but how do we get them into office through the traitors in the Senate?
I understand that just one Senator, who isn’t a corrupt pile of compromised garbage, can use the Senate rules to make recess appointments possible for PDJT.
Thats ONE way.
Another is TEMPORARY appointments.
And a third is to BLACKMAIL Congressional leadership, which is frankly the currency of power used in DC.
You can’t tell me their aren’t incriminating material in the NSA database on every member of Congress.
Absolutely on the Judge Hanen nomination – spectacular judge and wonderful human being.
I think Garrett Ziegler should be on Trump’s team.
Not so sure about Flynn, Bush and a few others you named.
I have no problem with General Flynn.
We need AG Paxton in Texas
Where does the loyal/brilliant Steven Miller come in? Deputy director under Tom Holman or over ICE?
Anyone the uniparty attacks should be on the shortlist for something. They know their own.
Have a problem with Pam Bondi not to mention with the loss of Rand. There is no bench to replace him here in KY.
Maybe good people would run if they didn’t see the two KY senate seats locked up already?
Dr. Carol Swain for Education Secretary
Till we can get rid of it.
Love her, but just get rid of the department!
i’ve been a CTH’er for years, and never have I been as impressed with one of your posts, SD
I am excited beyond compare just reading it — your reasoning is superb!
I’m sold. (I was always a nobody-but-Kari for VP, but I see this, and I love it…as well as how well you have explained it.)
(My main concern is….do we have white hats working on overcoming another Big Steal? That MUST happen to make any of this possible.)
Again, What a wish list! who is going to make sure DJT gets it..
Is it the purpose / role of the VP to be God’s evangelist?
In a crisis the People will be only looking at the CIC. NO ONE wants to hear from the VP.
However, it would certainly be appropriate for the CIC to have multiple official advisors who do not lead the divisions.
The crisis may involve the health or well being of the CIC. We would look to the VP then.
Who might actually be qualified to help in a medical emergency, God forbid!
Hiring some of those people will lose the majority in the House.
We need more people from private business and experts in their field of expertise in National Security, Foreign Policy and Economic issues. I think Josh Hawley will be an excellent candidate for AG.
Sarah Palin for VP.
Sundance’s post of the Tucker/Stephen Miller interview is illuminating in this regard.
Miller is focused like a laser on damage done by DEI reverse-racism.
He is undoubtedly well aware of many brilliant executives who have been purged from US businesses in the swell of the Marxist-racist coup.
In fact America First Legal listed a contact point for them.
Many could probably be funneled directly into fix-it spots in the new administration.
Kennedy comes from a family where murder is legal and the Boooooshes murder our best and brightest/2024
I like the suggestion of Ben Carson. Some attribute weakness when folks are quiet. Ben has been solid.
They are wrong. Quiet denotes strength!
LOL, “Pretend” Pretend” we have free and fair elections and we will be allowed to seat who the people choose. It worked wonderful last time. An overwhelming majority showed up for our choice Joe. I see no ground game to change anything. Boy do I hope I am wrong.
Then let’s just call the whole thing off.
Agreed, until we have transparency in the electronic machines they should not be used.
PLEASE, DO preemptive damage control and/or crisis management.
Dobbs? Palin? Dobbs is a TV personality and a nutter. Palin hasn’t run anything since she resigned gov of Alaska.
With respect to “Please Clap”. Floriduh emergency management was kind of a mess when he became gov. He cleaned it up and made it effective. The only question is whether he would stick to FEMA stuff or stick it to Trump stuff.
You obviously have not listened to Lou Dobbs very often if you think he is just a “TV personality.” The guy is economically brilliant and MAGA to the bone.
Please try his podcast.
Hold it now! I want Mark Robinson to be my Governor!
