Big Agriculture and Big Pharma were both preparing for a serious battle over food, chemicals, drugs and various health matters they control, with RFK Jr appointed to lead Health and Human Services (HHS). With that many trillions at stake, the scale of political capital needed to confront Big Ag and Big Rx was going to be astronomical.
If these reports are accurate, today Big Ag and Big Rx will breathe a collective sigh of relief, and President Trump will not have to worry about RFK Jr creating distractions from other priorities. All in all, an expected approach.
This has not yet appeared on Truth Social, however, apparently, Susie Wiles is expected to announce the nomination of Kelly Loeffler for Secretary of Agriculture.
[Source]
Former Senator Kelly Loeffler is the wife of Jeffrey Sprecher. Kelly Loeffler was approved by the Sea Island control group, then appointed by Georgia Governor Kemp because Loeffler is married to Jeffrey Sprecher; a GOPe party insider, mega-donor, and multi-millionaire CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
Jeffrey Sprecher (formerly from the Bush administration) is the founder and CEO of ICE, which now owns the New York Stock Exchange. Kelly Loeffler’s company, the financial platform Bakkt, is a subsidiary of the Intercontinental Exchange. Bakkt is currently in the process of creating a Crypto exchange, with hopes of making Bakkt to U.S. Crypto what the NYSE is to stocks.
Kelly Loeffler purchased her recent Trump insiders’ ticket from Susie Wiles by leading the inauguration committee. Where ‘leading’ is essentially financing it with her circle of friends. On the upside, with this level of attachment to the Wall Street multinationals, the likely nomination of Loeffler to protect corporate food interests should settle down the opposition to RFK Jr in the Senate nomination process.
Much like yesterday’s nominee of Pam Bondi, billionaire mega-donor and former Senator, Kelly Loeffler, has the support of Nikki Haley, Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Chuck Grassley, all the Fox News pundits, and all of the key influence agents within the professional republican apparatus.
RFK Jr was likely to face blistering questioning and tenuous confirmation as HHS secretary, given his statements of intent about security American food supplies, diminishing the influence of Big Ag and confronting the Rx and Chemical industry. These are the corporate business sectors who pay the most for lobbyists in Washington DC.
By nominating Kelly Loeffler as Secretary of Agriculture, President Trump assuages the fears of the multinationals and likely makes the nomination of RFK Jr a little more stable. Loeffler will be a guarantor of the corporate interests that RFK Jr threatens.
Like I said, it makes sense. [Archives on Loeffler HERE] If we want an RFK Jr, we might have to take a Kelly Loeffler.
Robert F Kennedy Jr and Nicole Shannahan are not likely to be happy about this, but compromises are needed. After all, there are trillions at stake in all of the sectors that RFK Jr is promising to change.
I would suspect that Ms Loeffler is traveling to Mar-a-Lago today for direct negotiations with RFK Jr before any announcement is made. Loeffler would also represent another gender positive move for the Trump administration.
MAHA now comes with a small *asterisk. The asterisk is Kelly Loeffler.
On the upside, the crypto markets are likely to continue benefitting big time.
I have always promised to be an honest broker in my political dealings, and transparent with the public. There are two potential appointments that could be coming down the pike that would be a disaster for the people, our health, and the integrity of this administration. I am…

There are Trillions at Stake
This is a major betrayal of RFK Jr. and Nicole.
I don’t think it’s quite that bad. RFK Jr. can do a lot of good at HHS. And there are things HHS can do that will put pressure on Loeffler at Dept. of Agriculture. These people are super competitive and getting shade cast on them by more effective, and more agenda-driven MAGA/MAHA cabinet departments will have an effect.
Nicole’s big issue was farmland and soil.
RFK Jr is a major BETRAYAL to me, someone who has supported Trump since 2016.
Are there any AUTHENTIC people left or are too many watered down humans with no core?
God and our redemption in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit seem to be the only way through all this confusion & deception.
I’m choosing to keep it simple and PRAY as we move through all these human land mines. Pay attention, yes, but PRAY for PDJT and his admin to have the Godly discernment to KNOW Truth. Eventually, every knee shall bow and every mouth confess.. Amen
Have you people not heard of “game theory”? Do you outsmart a bully by being butt naked honest to them? Do you assume a bully is going to feel bad and repent if you’re nice to him, if you’re honest, if you’re vulnerable? Did you not just read what Sundance is saying here? Our enemy is vicious, cruel, they have no mercy whatsoever, and want us ALL DEAD. If you’re on this site, you need to read Sundance’s work instead of just headings.
Amen.
1 Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
I hope this give everyone some perspective.
BTW, I don’t think Trump is in love with his money. But many are
There were rumors going around bedore the election that Trump made some sort of deal in order to be allowed to win.
I did not believe those rumors, but many people are going to after they see this.
If a deal was made it was because they saw the groundswell and the internal polls. They were BSing as usual.
I thought Rep Massie was going to be AgSec. What happened?
We can’t spare any more losses in the House!
He wasn’t an attractive woman who owned a crypto company.
Trump knows the real Kelly Loeffler. Remember the 2020 post-election run-off in Georgia?
I don’t think he’s fooled for one second by her looks; Melania looks far better anyway.
This is strategic Plan B since PDJT realized relatively quickly that the highly corrupt Decepticon RINOs in the Senate are going to arrogantly ignore the anti-corruption national mandate given to Trump via the election, especially given the popular vote victory.
Rep Massie would have been too good a pick and with the Gaetz debacle we couldn’t lose anymore house seats. Too bad for the Amish, the Mennonites and small farmers and ranchers in general. Loeffler could care less about anything but Big Ag. Cargill, Monsanto, Dupont and ConAgra and their brethren are all that matter to people like Loeffler and possibly Donald Trump.
I thought MAGA was bold
That’s means using all the marbles a president has
Trump can do what he likes as this is his last term
Backing down on Goetz Bondi with her background and now a Sea Island plant
Fiddling while Rome burns
Nobody said this was going to be easy.
Exactly! People don’t seem to understand that while we’re excited about a Trump win, the Second Branch of Government (Congress) is a touch and go situation. They feel that they’re just as, or more powerful than the President. So it will be a give and take to get most of what Trump wants to accomplish.
we heard a bunch of “recess appointments” until the senate shut that down cold…..
we lost the senate leadership battle right out of the chute…and they were emboldened and not only took out gaetz but now he
s removed from congress....he was one of our best...pretty darned wobbly start by any measure...bondi and loefler are not there because maga is winning....
oh and btw...speaking of georgia...it looks like cuck secy of state chris carr is being lined up as the next cuck gov. of georgia.....
all this winning...imagine how bad it would be if maga didnt control the party…/////////
I am so disappointed.
Well, maybe the shooter will have better aim next time.
That’s what you people seem to want at this point.
The dooming is unbelievable.
Stop.
If you want to be arbitrary, refute the data. Don’t be silly with those kinds of statements.
The very idea that showing loyalty to President Trump BY pointing out predictable, avoidable mistakes of Sessions/Kelly/Barr 2.0 appointments is emotional “dooming” is silly at best.
We had one opportunity missed through “trust the plan” “listen to Q” “4D chess” assurances.
We have a second one.
I remember there was ONE poster in 2017 who “sniffed” Jeff Sessions’s rottenness before anybody else. I forget his name. He kept saying his piece, despite (almost) everybody else piling on him.
Sundance loves and respects President Trump as much as any of us, but he also knows just too well the adage
Amicus Plato sed magis amica veritas
… If missed again, there won’t be a third one.
A (yet another) corrupt Attorney General, and signs of Bondi being deeply corrupt at worst and opportunistic at best abound, signals the end of the new game, before it started.
Please, Mr. President, be “wise as serpents” – they are not innocent as doves.
Romney supports Bondi.
We’d be lamenting ANY Administration putting these people up as nominees.
Really, provide the complete list of nominees. And then tell me which ones you have a problem with.
And do you have a problem with them because someone wrote there is a problem with them?
The players are going to backstab Trump as best they can that is if Trump isn’t already compromised.
That is so wrong, Eric –
just so wrong.
And ready to play a supporting role, we now have Gov. Kemp himself, leading the Republican Governor’s Association with a focus on helping President Trump get ‘off to a strong start’. I think we are getting a glimpse of what he means by ‘strong start’.
And I think he is positioning himself for a Senate Run and Loeffler a run for governor of Georgia.
PAY TO PLAY. Those with their hand out and those handing it out.

Nicole Shanahan is trying to warn us, hopefully RFK Jr has Trump’s ear on this pick. Susie Wiles who I assumed was a firebrand has fizzled, crashed, and burned within days.
She’s playing it safe, apparently not a boat rocker.
Doesn’t she have grandchildren she needs to tend to?
I just felt in my gut that Wiles was not a good pick for chief of staff. Sounds like my gut may have been right.
RFK Jr is NOT a good pick for HHS.
11/22/2024 BAKKT HLDGS INC$29.31-1.79 (-5.76%)
5 Day BAKKT HLDGS INC (+159%) 🤷🏻♂️
Mahahaha! Loeffler laughing.
Didn’t Kelly and Mitch Mc-Mason-Verger, bully-bounce Doug Collins out of the Georgia Senate race in 2018?
So, Trump just named Doug Collins to head up the Department of Veterans Affairs. A YUGE position.
Trump wouldn’t spend the last two years marching through pure hell to surrender.
Only time will tell WTF is going on here.
I’m being patient.
Well…Churchill said “when you’re going thru hell, keep going”….
Going to be another can kicking exercise and nothing will get done in the next two years. Then the D’s will take over the house and senate in the midterms as conservatives will be disgusted and stay home followed by more impeachment theater. Trump could have made a dent in the deep state and corruption but it sure appears his “team” is setting him (and We the People) up for another wasted 4 years. Meanwhile we’re the brokest nation in history and the crash will come at some point.
See The Article from Gateway Pundit, about Mitch being put on the head of Committees. He’s worse off health wise than Biden!!! What gives?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/gop-senators-hand-mitch-mcconnell-power-derail-trumps/
He hasn’t even put is hand on the Bible yet…we have59 days to go.
CBDC and forever wars back on track. Soon we’ll be hearing his plan for climate change.
Sundance,
Trump knows all of this.
So why don’t you just come out and say that Trump is an idiot or compromised?
Or would that hurt the bottom line?
See next article. 🙂
Is that the Matt Gaetz article or the Russ Vought article or is there another one coming tonight? Honestly NOT trying to be snarky or sarcastic but am just feeling very perplexed by what seem to be AMAZING appointments interspersed with “WHAT? No freakin’ way” picks and am hoping that you will be able to make some sense of why DJT is ALL over the map on these nominations!
So that means we’ll continue to eat poisonous food because of her?
We either eat poisonous food or we starve. Not good for Americans but great for China.
.
And Sundance is effectively saying Susie Wiles, Trump’s new CoS….who Sundance said he suspects being behind the Bondi nomination….might be behind getting a Sea Islander into the job of Sec. of Ag.
This is what we fought so long and hard for??
Lemme answer that.
No.
I don’t think we should be disappointed. There are many threads to all of these silos. We need to stop with our arm chair quarter backing.
1)”but compromises are needed”. As spectators we tend to insert our unvarnished opinion about everything. There are NO absolutes except if you don’t accept Jesus you will go to hell. Everything in everyone’s life is some sort of a compromise, except Jesus. 2)most everyone was all shot in the rear about rfkjr’s addition to the MAGA sphere. So…to keep him there must be a give and take. Just because all those silo creeps like Kelly doesn’t make her a sellout. There is nothing easy in this world. Taking a battering ram to everything is not helpful.
We are such complainers. That is one of the most endearing and maddening things about Americans. True to form we jump on the imagined poop like flies. But we are true to our love for America as it “should” be.
Everything will be better than what we are experiencing right now. There is not much conventional going on with our side right at the moment.
Thank you Sundance for broadening our tank of information on all things silos. We need it. Blessings.
The idea I thought Was to make America Great Again, not just mediocre , Same ole Republican Swamp people are there.
We must deal with the swamp that *we* handed to President Trump. He will do the best that he can, given that these people are already there, entrenched in DC politics.
The American people must vote the swamp out.
What we are seeing instead is the art of the deal. This is in his wheelhouse.
President Trump had many great accomplishments in his first term despite the Russia hoax, despite a hostile CONgress, despite two impeachments and despite *no* recess appointments.
I fully expect even more great accomplishments from President Trump and his team this time around.
The parade of s#*+ continues. There really is nothing new under the sun. We all bleed plenty working for, or pushing for, or defending President Trump. There was no way he’d get everything perfect, and there’s no way a perfect slate of cabinet (in our eyes) would all be approved. But this continuing cast introduction is becoming sickening.
President Trump’s Achilles heel is hiring personnel. His other one is how he gets schmoozed by people buttering his bread, and places too much trust in them (particularly celebrities it would appear).
Cafeteria lady picks Trump’s cabinet.
Calm down Treepers. You aren’t going to get everything you want on day 1. You break up a boulder one swing and chip at a time. You have to find cracks and fissures and chip away. You can’t drop the MOABS here.
agree,Trump got plenty of good things done in first term with the left & right after him daily.term 2 will be difficult & as many have said it will take more than 4 years to right the ship. Mitch is senile so we can hope we can get rid of him this term.
Robert Barnes was right about Wiles. She’s a deep state plant.
Bakkt? More like F’d.
Sure glad we don’t have to sit andxsuffet while we watch a Harris Administration.
Remember the Stones song Trump used to play after every rally? The one that says “You don’t always get what you want; you get what you need.” Yeah, that one. In order to get people like RFKJr and Tulsi, we got to feed the swamp something. Politics is a dirty business and giving a nice rich lady like Kelly a big job can go a long way to smooth things out. Do you think Kelly is really into all this policy stuff? It’s going to be rough fitting everything in between hair and nail appointments, hot yoga sessions, benefit balls, and decorating her new DC penthouse. I think Pam and her are into the title more than the work so the people under them will be key.
BTW saw Matt on Charlie Kirk show. He appears very positive about Pam being DOJ and is helping with the transition; implied there is another roll for him in the administration. So take a chill and see how things play out.
I was just burdened by a memory, so please allow me to unburden myself here (LOL)….some one talking about their lawn…some Presidential candidate, am thinking…
Big Ag, Chemical and Rx…back to our lawn fertilizer, be it weed and feed or a regular big name fertilizer…carcinogenic and last time I checked, the cancer causing chemical is 2,4-D….an herbicide…found in most if not all…”Safe for children and pets when used in accordance with directions”…
it is known to cause bladder and other cancers in dogs, especially in those with the Scotland link…border collies, shelties, scotties and golden retrievers…I cannot speak to its effects on humans…children or adults, I don’t know….
Even though the good people at Iowa State, in Ames, have an attachment to the USDA…they do come up with some good stuff…
The lady whom I got my little sheltie from, is a naturalist….and avoids chemicals and vax at all costs unless demanded by laws…she has a gorgeous lawn…and uses corn gluten fertilizer for her lawn…apparently there is something in the dehydrated slop from corn, that inhibits the germination of weeds. And it seems to work. Work very well.

She has plenty of ‘enemies’ in the corporate world of pet care…but I know people who were her clients.
Last one…no link….I had read somewhere that the clove oil found in many of those plug in air ‘fresheners’ or ‘perfumes’ if you will, are being implicated in canine cancers. Yankee Candle? Bath and Body Works? Glade? Febreeze? Did I miss anybody?
Her content on ‘boosters’ is very interesting.
Gotta find a use for the ‘waste’? But it seems worthwhile in this case.
Think 2,4 D was half of agent orange. The other half was banned.
I know Diet Coke manufactured in China causes bladder cancer, and guess who has the cure for it? The same company that makes Splenda also owns the patent for the cancer treatment.
Eat wisely friends, make a pot of minestrone soup to boost your immune system. I heard that on the radio the other day and saw a sign in my Dr’s office with that same advice. I made a pot last night.
2,4-D is a broad leaf specific herbicide (will kill broad leaf plants without harming grasses). I read many years ago that it was causing some type of cancer (lymphoma, I think it was) in Kansas wheat farmers. Apparently used it because it would kill any broad leaf weeds in their wheat fields without harming the wheat itself.
And it’s pretty common knowledge that it was a 50//50 mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T that made up Agent Orange, the defoliant widely used in Vietnam. Some ‘Nam vets are still dealing with the harmful effects of exposure. It was Admiral Zumalt who authorized its use in ‘Nam, and sadly, his son, a ‘Nam vet, died from some type of lymphoma, thought to be brought on by his exposure to Agent Orange in ‘Nam.
I have used 2,4-D to “clean up” hay fields, and feel its fairly safe as long as adequate protections are followed, and there’s no question as to its efficacy, but I would never apply it to a lawn, under any circumstances. The biggest “culprit” targeted in lawn use is, believe it or not, clover. Anyone so anal about their lawn as to want nothing but grass is just too much of a lawn freak in my opinion. Besides, honey bees love clover, and make some of the best honey from it.
So much for Wal-mart Roma tomatoes tasting like, well, TOMATOES. Baby steps, baby steps.
I don’t know how to link from X(witter). However, Sundance is quite *active* posting there.
TLR posted about 35 mins ago – “Um, you do know that Kelly Loffler (Baakt) and DT (Truth)are in negotiations for a merger, right?”
His next article here should be a doozzzeee!
Oh geez.
” In a nationwide first, Arkansas, under the direction of Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, will enforce foreign-ownership land restrictions. On Oct. 17, Sanders ordered a China-owned company to drop farmland in northeast Arkansas.”
What would would Ms Loeffler do, is she in agreement with this, and is she going to enforce these laws.? She needs to answer this at her confirmation hearing.
Money talks
..
It’s going to be like trying to get monkeys to quit flinging feces and accept new health rules & regulations while we tear down their beloved dept. of feces flinging.
Good luck.
Do I have the list right?
QUESTIONABLE HIRES:
1. Duffy – great guy, no background in transportation
2. Noem – looks great, no border experience, flip flopped on backing girls (trans issue), etc.
3. Bondi* – not a top-flight, battle-tested attorney who can take on the Deep State; compromised by Zimmerman trial
4. Loeffler – not an ag or food expert, I’m not aware of her being a dynamic leader
5. Susie Wiles – COS – see this list, plus not a single African American, few Latinos appointed
6. Defense secretary: Pete Hegseth – he doesn’t look like he can tame the Deep State
Purgatory
Rubio – SOS
* Endorsed by Romney (aka contra indicator)
Well, one African American. Scott Turner of Texas to HUD.
Gorka added as an Advisor.
And Dr. Janette Nesheiwat – Fox commentator – as Surgeon General.
6-7 new appointees this Friday afternoon posted on Trump’s Truth Social.
Probably better for our mental health not to get depressed about speculative appointments.
Too much hair.
This woman stabbed Trump in the back on the morning of 1/6. But if Trump can stomach her and we still get RFK Jr, who am I to held a grudge. But I do hate her, she has zero personality.
We are learning a lesson here. We have no real idea what goes on in the places of power and money.
He hasn’t really nominated anyone yet and won’t until Jan 20. There’s things going on and we don’t know any of it. His quiet picks that haven’t been headlines have been awesome.
This is terrible news.
So, do I see a pattern of maybe hiring people to fire them day 2?
Trump seldom does win-lose deals. Win-win deals work best, win-lose often turns into lose-lose.
Having RFK and Loeffler on the same cabinet means they have checks and balances on each other.
Maybe I’m grasping at straws but I’m hoping the agencies given to these deep state scumbags are the first to be gutted…. take away their influence and foot soldiers and blunt their lines of attack… probably just another q head fake hopium hit though..
Loeffler plays nice to Trump but she is part of the swamp. The short time she was suppo0sed to be representing Georgia she was more concerned about enriching her husband.
A positive spin on this:
A. The RINOs in Senate declared war, same as 2016 and 2020
B. He has no choice but to populate his team with RINO-friendlies, also Zionist-friendlies
C. Most of these appointments mean little. No department will be reformed from within, rather external factors will change their context
D. DOGE is the single most important agent in the mix; it does not depend upon Senate Confirmation and sits outside the Administrative State
E. Their stated plan is to role back most of the latter which was created by Executive Orders using Executive Orders as is the exclusive prerogative of the separate and independent branch of Government, comprising one individual, known as the President of the United States.
Yes, this will be challenged in the Courts but he should prevail given recent decisions.
In other words, the big moves are coming from outside the domains in which the Usual Suspects still hold sway. Hopefully they won’t twig to all this before January 20th. This way, they think they remain in control and so won’t back the Civil War or World War options.
Like I said, a positive spin. But not entirely unfeasible…
I see a lot of upset here…remember…
The man took a bullet for us…almost two…(and one on his home turf)…where he should be safe.
He laid out his agenda. He is for the “forgotten men and women”….
We are not privileged to his thinking…
We have 59 days til he puts his hand on that Bible….
but the team he put in to do the business has to also “be for the forgotten men and women” .. Bondi wants a red flag law so there is that pesky lil detail. Loefller is nothing but a trophy wife, she knows nothing about “poor people” ….
Am beginning to think that a lot of what is going on now is designed to distract his opponents between now and then.
Then a big hammer is going to fall in late January.
Example: Murkowski says she won’t vet anyone unless they go through FBI checks (as if the FBI is an above board group that did not make up false accusations against POTUS).
But what if the entire FBI staff are under investigation for participation in Crossfire Hurricane via a Special Counsels (Gaetz and Kash) set up on Day 1? What investigations can they do then? None.
Also what if ALL Senators in both parties are investigated for stock trading irregularities? Or the sex payments are investigated for reasons of National Security?
Or the FBI loses 50% of its investigative teams on Day 2?
So many things could be coming down.
Meanwhile, they get to strut their stuff in the media and the Senate.
Positive spin, I know, but…
I like it. I needed a dose of positive spin. Thank you.
Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.
Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Does this open a senate seat? Not that the GA RINO governor is in our corner, but just wondering…..
What does our Energy Department accomplish?
They haven’t opened Yucca Mountain for nuclear waste, and universities and business do most of the research.
The agriculture department is one department that should be moved out of DC to flyover country, IMHO. Fancy, high class and all-luxury Loeffler to Nebraska as Agriculture Sec? Could be entertaining…..
I was told once that Ags biggest budget line item is… Food Stamps?
I believe I’m against anything that “assuages the fears of the multinationals”.
Judge a man by what he does not what he says.
So far de judge ain’t happy.
I am afraid, at the moment, I have to agree with commenter “eric”.
The Demons take no prisoners; DJT just invites them to dinner.
Man that balloon didn’t stay inflated for long.
Prove me wrong by actions.
So far just knee bending.
One of the things we all (myself included) have keep reminding ourselves is that this is a WAR not just one battle. What we would all like is for a complete, in your face, turn around with nothing but great patriots. HOWEVER; that is not reality. The commie globalist have been digging into every level for decades. They have built defenses to slow down or thwart completely, the work of saving The Republic. In every war, not every great admiral or general can be used on every front. The Supreme commander (Trump) will have to make some concessions and appointments that he probably does not want, but from a pragmatic viewpoint, he has to.
As much as we would like the rescue of the Republic to happen right now,it will take far longer than four years of Trump presidency. You can’t unwind 120 years of infiltration and setting up non-Constitutional systems in four years.
I had the same reaction to Pam Bondi as Sundance, but for now………
Years ago I stopped buying anything from McDonald’s because they were a large contributor to Handgun Control (spit), but then I had friends who had cancer and were treated most excellently by the Ronald McDonald House program, without charge.
It will take years just to change out all of the RINOs; As in WWII, we are in in it for the duration.
Hopefully things will change, but for now: President Trump, pick your battles.
What I am trying to say is: Everything is not black and white, lots of grays.
Retreat after retreat. Looks like we have been fooled again. Meet the new boss.
I’d like to see another pick. She part of the swamp.
