“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

MSNBC’s ratings swirled down the toilet – hemorrhaging viewers since Election Day to the tune of with a staggering astounding 54% drop in primetime viewership, given; that substantial percentage of MSNBC’s regular viewers hate Trump, just as much as the network’s TDS-
riddled hosts like Joy Reid do. The woman is obsessed with race, from “white supremacists” to “blackness” and everything in between. And, Donald Trump (“Hitler”) and his supporters (“Nazis.”)
MSNBC’s racist-extraordinaire rants against white women; continuing mindless race-revolt diatribe and irresponsible lies about President-Elect DJT’s plans to deport minorities who have legal status in the country.

Fox News TV reporting John Ratcliffe has been selected as next CIA Chief
YES!

YES!!!!

MAGA!!
he was always a talker but never a doer. Oh well.
Please explain.
Maybe with the CIA the less they do the better?
Yes, I’m being facetious.
is there anyone that you support that President Trump has? Troll much………….
That’s a good one! Glad it wasn’t Patel.
Request for our Boss here at CTH….
It would be great to have a daily recap post with the days official staffing announcements along with some of the great research and a CTH grade for each.
Thanks!
I second this!
Just go look at the Trump War Room account on X.
When President Trump makes it official – it’s posted.
Can’t see all the posts at X accounts if you don’t have an account yourself.
I can’t, anyway. I assume it’s the same for others.
I’ve been thinking about an x account since Musk is on the team now to help support him.
Or go to Trump himself on Truth!
YS! It’s hard to keep up with our President !
and too much speculation from the main stream media.
I hardly have any room to walk in the Treehouse. All these concern trolls have brought their own couches up here so they can spread themselves out and very loudly clutch their damn pearls.
No need to name names. Spend a few minutes reading through a thread, and a bunch of names jump atcha… And President Trump is messing this up/that isn’t what he said/he isn’t being smart/yadayada.
President Trump DID NOT get where he is today by being stupid. Stop it!
Aye.
The concern trolls often accidentally give themselves away. Yesterday, one CTH commenter started with, “I’m beginning to question Trump’s decisions already.”
Inclusion of the word “already” indicates that the person was expecting and planning to question Trump’s decisions, but they were surprised that they felt the need to do it so soon. Not exactly the stance of a true Trump supporter/voter.
“Every leader, since time began,” has been surrounded by people who “questioned” him or her. A wise leader is not afraid of this questioning, by “armchair quarterbacks” or otherwise. (Every now and then, what one of them observes proves to be extremely important!) But the leader continues to lead, decisively. Because that is their role, and duty.
I am not going to waste my time fingering anyone as “a troll.” Grab a cup of water at this grand communal cooler.
You are mostly correct, but people who supported the transitioning of 12-year-olds and a wide open border bet on the wrong horse, and they have earned no say when it comes to the Trump Administration.
Many of them are now here, pretending to be Trump supporters while constantly questioning his decisions.
ValueTheTruth,
Very good points. You can quickly spot the continuous Doubting Thomases and Negative Nellies.
Keep an eye out for the “tag-team-trolls” …… they work in pairs or even larger groups to keep a negative thread active.
Amen! He/we did not come this far through all those trials to have it fall apart. God is still in charge and He will see it through. MAGA! 🇺🇸
We place our faith in God first above any man.
Yes, yes, and YES. It is like wading through a sea of keyboard doomers who don’t know how to go to Truth Social and tell anyone on Team Trump why he is doing a horrible job and their insights into who he should appoint.
They just need to nominate themselves at Elon Musk’s project allowing citizens to nominate other citizens to positions within the Trump Administration instead of whining and complaining about what a moron Trump is.
This is the thanks he gets, a bunch of complainers and whiners.
That’s really not fair in most cases. SD has spent countless words on telling us how important each position in the Trump administration will be and named several good people for each one that he thinks would be the best ones to pick. Of course many who have been here a long time, who suffered through the bad appointments of the first term, are going to be a bit touchy about who is being picked. Give them some slack.
In the end the President picks who he wants and we live with the results. We all want a successful turn around for America and put a huge effort over the last 4 years getting our guy back to the WH and giving him the Senate and House too. People here are invested in what comes next. Let them vent without too much criticism. We know who the trolls are and who are long branch sitting treehouse residents. We all can say our piece and then pray for good results.
p.s. The Waltz pick still stinks, imo.
Sundance himself has acknowledged that PDJT has a tendency to make lousy staffing picks, and Sundance has also expressed reservations about Marco Rubio previously.
I would assume that on a site where I see articles about Trump potential staff picks, with space below for comments, that it is an invitation to express ourselves on the topic.
Some just want to let it be known that they are so superior because they would never, ever question his judgement, as if he were a minor god and not a human being.
I reserve my right to question anybody in public office.
If my ancestors hadn’t questioned the status quo, there wouldn’t be any United States of America.
the goal is to divide and conquer.
don’t let ’em.
i find their “contributions” a great time saver.
once you identify the names,
you can breeze through a thread in 75% less time! 😂
kudos to those here who engage and rebut,
though i suspect the cold shoulder might be more effective.
i read all the articles assiduously, and the embedded tweets and Truths, and view the videos from respected sources.
getting a lot more done on the home front recently,
thanks to the loony brigading.🤣
I do that as well. As soon as I see certain names then I just speed scroll past. I tried to read each comment but once I discern a familiar whiner pattern then I know what I am going to read.
Screw em. Keep enjoying the rest of it.
I don’t mind the couches they bring but it’s the fat ladies singing off key that’s annoying 🤪
Nice touch
Yup. I hate when they do that.

John Ratcliffe- head of the CIA.
BOOM! … Now we’re talking.
Tabbing Dr. Ben Carson for his desired spot (HHS?) seems also a no Brainer, and NOT A SITTING CONGRESSMAN!
was Ratcliffe good though before? I thought he talked a lot of stuff but didn’t do anything. Typical Washinton but I hope to be proven very wrong on the guy
He was very good and yes you are wrong.
BREAKING: A police report has been filed as evidence shows Nevada officials allegedly deleted 26,902 ballots from their own reported mail-in ballot totals.

That theft is real. Just like AZ. Anyone serious could find criminal theft in AZ.
^ It’s stunning and every election in AZ. They are truly criminals running the state. I’m almost in shock Hamadeh and Finchem made it finally, and I;m glad they did.
But whatever evil has it eye and focus on Lake has earned a one way ticket to a fiery lake – for a long time.
And Wisconsin
Yup. Hovde had a 4 am drop in Milwaukee magically go 99% against him. And it’s still happening right now in Philly. I thought Lara had the RNC all over this? I’m starting to think they were all over it for the presidential race, but nothing else.
Steal me once, shame on you… steal me twice, shame on me…
Thanks for finding this; Clark County has always been my ‘concern’ for if there was going to be game playing.

@MJTruth
🚨BREAKING: Sen. Ron Johnson announces he will push for a delay in the Senate Leader vote as Trump set to visit Capitol Hill tomorrow:
“It’s grotesque. McConnell figured he has whoever he wants to grease the skids… If nobody else proposes a delay, I will.”
https://truthsocial.com/@UltrarunnerCZ/113472486279434638
After all, what’s the rush?
The 119th Congress doesn’t even convene until January.
Why this unseemly push to elect an R-party Senate Leader now, while votes are still being counted?
According to the Philly government official site, every Ward and precinct is now in and there should be no more votes to count. There were about 10,000 provisional ballots, which is about right for them if there are 100,000 provisional ballots outstanding in the state. Cambria county is still holding back the last 6% of their vote which should add about 1,500 more to McCormick’s lead bringing it to 31,000 votes. The provisional ballots should be roughly 50-50, the same as the present vote totals. https://vote.phila.gov/results/
In the 2016 presidential election, Pennsylvania counted a total of 14,539 ballots from US citizens overseas and 7,788 military ballots, hardly enough to change the outcome of this Senate race.
Now that they’re done with their fake ballot collections, they can start with the ballot deletion part of their program, and hopefully have it all wrapped up for Casey by Christmas Eve. /s
El Salvador and Costa Rica Announce Regional Coalition to Work with Trump
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves on Monday agreed to create a “League of Nations,” a bloc of like-minded smaller developing countries with common objectives in security, economy, and other areas.
https://www.breitbart.com/latin-america/2024/11/12/el-salvador-and-costa-rica-announce-regional-coalition-to-work-with-trump/
Good. Maybe they’ll welcome their criminal invaders back home…
I believe that will be the “stick” part of the negotiations
Now this is INTERESTING… could keep China in check in Latin America, perhaps, esp. if others see the upside of signing on…
Yea, this is the same thing they did in Detroit in 2020. There needs to be full accountability in AZ, Wisc, NV, PA and MI.
The cheat is still in. It is so obvious.
The State of Arizona conducted a highly-publicized audit of 2020 votes in Maricopa County, and discovered positive evidence of fraud. However, once the dust settled, they did absolutely nothing about it. The “Federal Crime” was uncovered, but never pursued.
Even though election fraud was prevented, this time, at a Presidential scale, it still occurred – and, still occurs – in a great many places. And it will continue, until the citizens in those places have finally had enough.
No one can rescue any of these States from themselves. All that we can do – and did – is to rescue the Nation from the continuing corruption of the States.
They probably think people will say “Milwaukee is a Democrat city”, but even NYC had like 30% of presidential votes going to Trump.
The AP has yet to call 16 House races. I have done an in depth analysis of the current and remaining vote for each Republican, and have determined that they should take 9 of those remaining 16 races. In Iowa, Meeks has won by 700+ votes with all votes reported, so unless the Dems find some way to steal this in Johnson county, she should win. Those 9 added to the 214 the AP has called should give us 223 seats to 212 for the Dems. One of those nine should be a pickup.
Currently we have 220 seats in the House.
Thank you for your reporting.
223 would be great.
On a cheerier note, Alina Habba is reportedly under consideration for press secretary. She’s smart as a whip, and easy on the eyes for an added treat. I could take 4 years of watching her eviscerate the poor excuses for journalists who pollute the press room.
+1 on Alina
This gal was fun in the 1st Trump administration, but it’ll be good to have someone even more qualified legally (attorney)
Alina is better looking and far more intelligent.
What makes you say that? She was by far the best, quick on her feet and took no crap.
I agree. Besides Sarah H she was the best Press Secretary we have seen. She’s quite a looker herself and very smart. Alina may be good too. We shall see if she gets picked.
i ENJOYED ( now ) Governor Huckabee Sanders time –
IT SHARPENED HER SKILLS for Later Office !
Good call on Habba. Must find a place for her in the #47 admin she earned it. Another attorney who has been a strong advocate for POTUS “lately” would be Megyn Kelly. She is sharp. It’s hard to believe that I’d support M. Kelly for a role in anything. But it’s been a strange year.
Soooo. it DOES look like Rubio is SOS.
Read an article about Tom Cotton to be head of Senate Intel. CFP had link to an article whether Desantis would appoint himself as Senator.
Benny Johnson is pushing Lara Trump for Senator.
Based on your sources, when will President Trump officially post the Rubio appointment on Truth Social, as he’s done with all official appointments so far?
Not until the outcome of Senate Majority Leader is settled. Rubio’s status is caught up in that battle.
Pete Hegeseth appointed Sec. of Defense.
per FNC just now
Good for him that is surprising I had not heard his name mentioned
for anything. if you don;t know who he is he is a
commentator on Fox News.
pretty sure he was active military
may have written a book on woke nonsense in the military
Iraq and Afghan
Married 3 times and he’s only 44’yo
That says something. To me not a good sign
Are you looking for a capable appointee or someone to date?
Lol. It does speak to an inability to commit, or inability to successfully judge character.
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Trump has been married 3 times too.
And the 3rd time saying was True in his case!
Well he has 7 kids. That seems pretty committed and stable to me. I like this one. Someone nobody expected. Tough guy. Loves America and PTrump. Go get them Pete!
Those tours of duty can be hard on marriages!
There’s an old saying: Don’t judge a person unless you‘ve walked in their shoes.
Maybe they thought he was focused more on his job and the military life tends to strain relationships.
and how do you feel about President Trump?
A message about Trump from a military perspective…What to do if you’re in the kill zone.
i remember this that speech. Warrior.
John Lehman was only 41 when he became Secretary of Defense under Reagan.
Fox News anchor gives up an $8 Million Dollar annual salary to serve his country once again.
Family picture must be ‘yours and mine.’ I remember that he re-married not long ago, I was still on Fox sometimes and heard about it.
” This position is classified under the Executive Schedule, level I, which typically ranges from approximately $217,025 to $336,425 depending on various factors. ” – DuckAssist
SALUTE to PETE and HIS FAMILY !
Is it officially from PDJT Truth Social account?
Yes.
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113472762495361722
isn’t he a morning tv host? wtf?
is this entire day some kind of sick joke?
Vocal Trump supporter, and very critical of Modern DoD…
He’s a big military guy, served well, Army Ranger. He’s not just a news host.
Iraq and Afghan, I’m pretty sure I read
yes, on their morning show Outnumbered, 1 guy and like 4 or 5 Fox gals in different primary color dresses
you could do worse for a morning show
his book “War on Warriors” I think is largely about the woke-ification and DEI-ification of our military … I haven’t read it but I think I’ve heard it described on Fox shows
So, you want him to pick the same old people repeatedly?
This country was designed for ordinary citizens to give a few years of service and then return to being good citizens, not make a lifetime career on the government dole!
What a disgusting and disrespectful comment. Pete is a combat war veteran and serves his country well.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/11/12/exclusive-speaker-johnson-orders-entire-biden-administration-preserve-retain-all-records-documents/
-“Johnson, Breitbart News has learned exclusively,
has sent letters
👉🏻to all 18 federal Departments
👉🏻ordering them
to retain and preserve documents.
This could become an explosive storyline if outgoing Biden administration officials attempt to delete or destroy documents that shed light on some of the radical policies they pursued or scandals with regard to censorship or other major storylines of the past four years, such as the deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan or the wide open border.
If anyone is caught destroying any records, that could lead to serious federal criminal penalties—and with President-elect Trump’s team coming in to take over on Jan. 20, 2025, the new incoming administration will find all evidence on this front.”
I’d like to suggest a post it note affixed to the letter to Garland, reminding him that John Mitchell was once sent to prison for far less egregious crimes than Garland’s.

New action from the Transition Integrity Project
https://newrepublic.com/article/188149/trump-war-games-2025-plans-not-reassuring
“How bad is it? This is very bad, and we are not nearly ready for what’s coming our way. In May and June 2024, I helped lead the Democracy Futures Project, a series of role-play simulation exercises hosted by the nonpartisan Brennan Center for Justice. The exercises were designed to better understand how a second Trump administration might play out—and which strategies might offer hope of countering the autocratic threats we knew were likely to come our way.”
Sounds like Trump has them very very worried. Good!
What is the rush on these picks for offices? The team must have had some of this already in hand so who are those on the team making these recommendations to PTrump? I’d like to know. There are so many good people to choose from and yet some of the best haven’t been chosen. Grenell? Nunes? Others SD mentioned? I’m probably over reacting but SD gave us such a thorough run down on who is good for each position and why, that my expectations were very high.
The Waltz pick just about did me in and Rubio as a possibility for SOS is not helping me either. Must learn to stop hyperventilating and just chill. Sigh.
trust the plan
WWG1WGA
Who is running the country right now? Perhaps President Trump wants to hit the ground running? Their is a massive amount of work to be done.
Should be there is, not their is
he can’t “jump in” without running afoul of that Logan Act and other restrictions
Until then, it’s still Obama’s puppeteers who are running things
same as it ever was
This isn’t being rushed at all. Trump and his team have so much work to do between the election and inauguration. They want to be up-and-running on day 1.
I get that which is why I said they must have been planning this for sometime on the chance they would win.
“What is the rush on these picks for offices? ”
Love that! Thanks!
Team Trump needs to hit the ground sprinting… not running, SPRINTING through appointments. Based on history, you could argue that ANY of his appointments fall under “well, we’ll see how that pans out”…
Part two. After SD explained some things, I am in full retreat mode on my excitable reactions to appointments made. Except for that guy Waltz. Not liking that one at all and he’s going to have to do a lot to make me ok with him.
Excellent 1 min. rant.
This says it all.
BOOM! She speaks for many.
What she said!
I love it! He will be great!
I am honored to announce that I have nominated Pete Hegseth to serve in my Cabinet as The Secretary of Defense. Pete has spent his entire life as a Warrior for the Troops, and for the Country.

From his Website:
From his website:
Pete served as in Infantry Officer in the Army National Guard, serving in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay. He holds two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge for his time in Iraq and Afghanistan. Hegseth also held the position of CEO for Concerned Veterans for America—a veterans advocacy organization.
Hegseth has a bachelor’s degree in politics from Princeton University and master’s degree in public policy from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government (although he mailed this degree back to Harvard!). Pete and his wife Jenny live in Middle Tennessee and have 7 children—all of which they pray grow up to love God and country.

@joma_gc
I still can’t get over the fact her campaign managers let her spend
$10 million for Beyoncé
$5 million for Megan the Stallion
$3 million for Lizzo
$1.8 million for Eminem
and actually thought it’d win her the election. Anyway, there’s your $20 million in debt.
The joy is gone
The joy was astroturf
Eminem’s gonna be pissed that he made less than Lizzo or Stallion.
Together the 3 of them didn’t make as much as Beyonce and oprah only got 1 million
He’s a white man, hasn’t he listened to their politics?
In their eyes he is a devil.
Didn’t Beyonce just go there and stand, waiting for something to start working? She didn’t even sing a song. Where is Cardi B listed? I remember she also was just standing there, stuttering around, waiting for the mike or something to start working.
didn’t she read her speech off her phone and was ridiculed for it ?

BREAKING: Trump names Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”)
@GeneralMCNews
https://t.me/GeneralMCNews/11158
stellar !
love it
Elon Musk to lead Dept of Gov. Efficiency.
on FNC now.
Trump had already announced this a couple weeks ago, tho.
And yes, it’s a brand new gov. department.
Congress creates Departments
Wow really thought Vivek would go to the Senate to take Vance’s seat.
I wonder who else is in a good position to over that Senate seat. Maybe someone from the state legislature?
Vivek should have gone to the Senate. De Wine will now appoint a RINO, but I hear he told Trump he would appoint Vivek if Trump wanted him to.
I was hoping for that, too — I am from Ohio, and was hoping to trade one MAGA senator for another. (But then, who knows if our Rino governor DeWine would have appointed him.)
Trump’s ear was grazed by a high powered round. Statistically, what is the probability? Add to that all the other dangers. Only a fool would refuse to stand in awe.
we were an inch away from SHTF
Well now this would be great!
Hope it’s not just an empty rumor.
Too late.
I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (‘DOGE”)….
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113472884874740859
Thank you!!
Yeah, I see now that tweet is from yesterday.
Vivek will be a much better spokesman for the eliminations than Elon.
Hard to top Vivek when it comes to communication.
Jesse Watters is speaking about this now.
Perhaps they will play tag team at press conferences. 🙂
Elon’s got the brains though. Not a bad combo, one decides, the other communicates.
yeah, Vivek’s got that motor mouth … zero to sixty in 0.4 seconds
I am pleased to announce that the Governor and former Congresswoman from South Dakota, Kristi Noem, will be appointed to serve as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Kristi has been very strong on Border Security. She was the first Governor to send National Guard Soldiers to help Texas fight the Biden Border Crisis, and they were sent a total of eight times. She will work closely with “Border Czar” Tom Homan to secure the Border, and will guarantee that our American Homeland is secure from our adversaries…

Not sure what I think of this one..
Me as well.
I don’t like it – she is partially responsible for us having Thune
That was fun. Dana’s brain got Bashed.
It makes me feel like puking when media personalities ARGUE with the people they are interviewing.
I haven’t been a big fan of Noem because of the carbon capture pipeline crap, but she might do a good job in Homeland Security and the person taking over for her, Tammy Miller, can shut down carbon pipeline.
Unfit for public office. Threw the girls under the bus and tried to lie about it, for one.
What’s that about farmland being taken for carbon capture?
Then there is the dog murder which was NOT a simple case of stopping an animal from killing livestock, and of which she has constructed a number of versions.
She’s a dishonest sicko, but that’s okay.
There are other people, he could have anybody, why her?
If she cannot do the job, he will replace her. She has to be 1000 times better than the treasonous bastard we have now.

Pete cannot be bought. He is a civilian.
President Trump has had enough of flag officers ignoring his orders and going behind his back. Talking to foreign leaders no less. In some countries, the past performance of Flag officers under PDJT’s command would be considered treasonous. They are lucky to have been in service to the USA.
That’s what I was thinking. No generals and their egos this time.

Wow, the whole board. Take note NY Times and Bezos, this LA Times owner sees the way the wind is blowing.

Same. I don’t think she’s particularly intelligent or trustworthy or principled. And making public the shooting the dog story shows bad judgment and maybe an insular obtuseness. But, I think she is ambitious and likes the spotlight and will be reliable
on the signature issue of the border and other issues adjacent to it. DHS is a hell hole under the diminutive Cuban commie, so she has a great opportunity to take a last place team and move it up the table.
Makes me wonder who President Trump will hire in place of the current head of the National Archives.
