President Trump has announced the official nomination of Russ Vought for the position of OMB Director.
Russ Vought ran the Office of Management and Budgets under President Trump in the first administration, and he is now nominated to do so again.

Last week, Mr Vought sat down with Tucker Carlson for a lengthy interview outlining what he learned about how the deep state actually works. WATCH:

I listened to this when it came out. He seems loyal and ready to be a vessel for pdjt’s ambitions. I understood him and thought he was okay though I’m unaware of his history or baggage.
He spoke in the interview as if the position was already in the bag. So, I guess I’m not surprised, is SD?
What baggage?
THIS is a great move – Russ has already held the position, so the RINOs can’t slow walk his confirmation! He knows where all the bodies are buried and he will be coming with a large shovel this time around….
The final segment on his interview with Tucker was absolutely spot on – we KNOW in our hearts that something is very wrong with our government and our country and we need to stop stuffing that little voice down in order to appease the crazy people amongst us!
Listened to the entire interview a few days ago. Vought knows the scams and schemes of the DC trash. Control the purse, control the organization.
My favorite pick so far.
Only one I think of that might surpass it would be Mike Benz.
Tom Homan remains my favorite but Russ is now second.
Dereg the controlling regs (HT:Scotus) and then diminish the Woke Agencies/worthless WDC telecommuting employees.
Yes. Best of the bunch so far. I also watched the entire interview with Tucker, and was impressed with Vought’s ability to speak intelligently about every topic that was brought up, and with an obviously well-informed depth on most of the economic issues. I recall he had Tucker speechless once or twice after revealing some facts of which Tucker was unaware.
Feel the same!
Great pick👏👏
Russ Vought will bring the hammer down and get it done.
I am going to watch the video again and take notes.
😡😡🇱🇷
It is a long ass video. Grab a bourbon and enjoy
I raked my front yard last week listening to this, it was very worth the time.
I did the same!
Definitely worth the time 👏 👏
Earbuds in…..and listened while doing chores!
Happy about this choice 💃💃
Watch on a higher speed for quicker viewing, might have to guzzle the bourbon. LOL!
Leave…I remember last Christmas (pretty sure I am right on the timing) that your son was posted overseas right after the birth of his child. I just wanted to say that I hope this Christmas will be a happier one for you and your family, together once more. With a one year old grandchild just able to see this beautiful season, it should be magical for all of you.
(Never know when I might see you, so I thought I’d go head and pass on this message. B)
Beautiful comment, B.
Very good news!
Yes!!!
Trump names billionaire Scott Bessent as Treasury secretary pick.
Crypto is going INSANE!
Yup. Glad I sucked up some SHIB. We’ll see. 🕶️✝️🕶️
My brothers are loaded to the eyeballs with DOGE, XRP, Cardano and..Shiba?
should be a banner year for the advancement of blockchain technology
many networks already breaching previous all time highs and the bull cycle is just starting to ramp
solana and bitcoin the most notable
Somebody on the internet suggested that the runup in Bitcoin might be a pump and dump operation by the CBDC smart guys to kill it and make off with big profits, with which to buy up real assets such as all the land and minerals in the US. Sound a little too ‘fabulous’? Too high tech/big politics for me; anyone have a clue about the numerous scenarios inferred in such a scheme?
cryptosphere opinions span the bell curve, AH
no shortage of muses, innuendo and ‘q’ type speculation
gold has intrinsic value, bitcoin, perceived value
bitcoin lends one utility to the cryptosphere which is a secure and safe storage and delivery system of that mutually agreed upon value
peer to peer, decentralized and without middlemen
TY
For you CJ, Its MAGA Mark Dice on “Bitcoin Jesus” Roger Ver.Enjoy friend
-It’s Okay, When the GOVERNMENT Does It
Thank you!
He is a gay guy who made several billion for Soros
Thanks for sharing these Great news tidbits about Vaught!
Apparently, like his boss, President Trump, Vaught has personal insider knowledge about Americas adversaries rather than being one of the armchair academics who can identify problems but lack the skill set, talent stack plus personality needed to actually defeat the cabal of psychopaths and solve those problems. 😘
This was a response to California Joe about Scott Bessent our new Treasury Sec
Like Soros needs the billions.
He gave away a huge amount of his fortune to his charity, resigned himself, and turned the management over to someone else in 2016.
Yes, the legend Jim Rogers, who owned the Quantum Fund w/Soros, moved his family halfway around the world to get away from Soros.
Likewise a wonderful nomination. I was concerned that some of the other contenders, not as strong, would be the pick. Bessent has been on WarRoom many times, eminently logical and quite capable.
with crypto you aint seen nothing yet—as they say. lol.
sans wwlll, this coming bull cycle may run well into 2026
the coins of the networks offering the most economical and efficient real world utility are the cream that’s rising to the top
choose wisely and an investment similar to throwing 10k at apple in the mid eighties is way possible
Good podcast worth the watch!
Good move 47. ❤️🤍💙
I like this guy.
Question for the smart kids in the room. If has already been confirmed in previous admin does he have to do it again?
Unfortunately he does. The only way a prior person doesn’t go through confirmation again is when they are still holding their position. Example being Mueller as FBI head. Appointed by Bush 2, affirmed for a longer term by Obama.
Thanks Bee. Was afraid of that
AMAZING INTERVIEW….PERFECT CHOICE !!
Russ Vought is a great man!! Bravo!! Full speed ahead.
I like this guy. He did a good job and probably won’t take much confirming. Well, then again … you have the uniparty
Yay! A pick everyone likes!!! 🥴
I would offer that there are a few that don’t like him. 😎
Not everyone.
I went to /pol/ since that’s where The Regime tests out Smear PsyOps targeting Trump voters.
I noticed The Regime is actually trying to smear Vaught using the same “OMG guise, hes got Soros connections” fear bait The Regime deployed, back in the day, to damage Trump.
Since then, I’ve noticed that SOROS fear bait smear has already showed up here.
😂😂😂
Hopefully CTH readers will pass this latest “How Psywar Savvy or Vulnerable Are You?” diagnostic test with flying MAGA red, white and blue colors.
He’s currently being smeared as a Project 2025 “mastermind.”
Have yu read all 900+ pages of 2025? It’s pretty good. Most of the silly Dim detractors haven’t even read it. Dumba$$es.
Strong pick. I heard about half of the interview with Tucker. He seems committed to the program and most importantly–has the know-how to push the agenda through. Let’s GO!
YES! YES! YES! YES! He’s the guy who should be holding onto the wallet and boy, I’d sure like to see him further his political career. He’s sharp!
Hi Jwoo. Hope you & yours are doing good. I havent seen you in a while. I hope you guys have a great Thanksgiving!

WKRP in Cincinnati Turkey Drop
Howdy Colkitto!!!
So happy to SEE YOU and glad I stopped back in. I often don’t and I miss so much. Super cute WKRP in Cincy video. We opted against a turkey as we are always inundated with leftovers. We literally just finished last year’s turkey a week ago – ha ha – made turkey with gravy on rice. This here is the BEST turkey recipe in the land! Hands down…. and I’ve tried a few. Even good and tender and fabulous… a year later.
https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe-1950271
This year, we will be doing a big old ham. I also purchased a split lamb chest plate, too, that I cook up with my home blend of Greek Seasoning. Super good… fall off the bones. We will just see how we feel when we get to the day.
Big old hugs to you and our faithful Godly Treepers. Love to you!
Hi JWoo! Lamb mmmmm. drooling…
Come on over! Always plenty to share here.
Sorry guys… I got off topic caught up in mini reunion. Blessings to all
Thank you so much my friend. Ty for the recipe also. I cannot get enough of the leftovers, here’s what I do. Take some Turkey, some great sandwich bread, Mayonnaise, Stuffing, & Cranberry, a little sprinkle of Sea Salt, & Pepper if you wish, and you have one of the greatest sandwiches ever.
My grandma made the best turkey noodle soup with the last of the leftovers. I sure miss her!
Best to you all as well!
Looks like Bezos is feeling froggy….Trump is targeting Jack Smith and his team AND wants to investigate 2020 election fraud…..according to WP.

link is on CFP site if you cant access
As a good news aside:
Trumps AG pick, Pam Bondi, is a well known experienced and ruthless bish when it comes to election fraud.
Plus she’s a long time Trump loyalist who’s been tried by fire and stuck with him through thick and thin.
Even better, Establishment Republicans will support her since she’s been hugely popular in Florida, even when it was a battle ground state; a state the Establishment wants to use Guv Ron to reclaim in the future so right now they can’t afford to piss of the voters who LOVE both PDJT and Pam.
Lol.
Republican Swamp schemers btfo. Again.
Excellent. He knows the swamp. Be sure to watch his interview with Tucker Carlson.
Only problem is how bogged down he will be first cleaning up four years of Biden mismanagement, with zero oversight of all government operations. But many lessons will be learned what not to ever do again, in this age of AI for exactly these types of tasks.
MAAA – Make America ACCOUNTABLE Again.
This is a WIN! Great choice.
I think this is a great hire. Listened to part of Tucker’s interview. He sounded solid, street smart, and loyal.
Scott Bessent to Treasury.
Three more Caucasians today.
No African Americans, one Cuban. Ugh.
Who cares what color their skin is? Long as they are MAGA they’re good.
It’s 2024, and it’s politics. It’s optics.
The Big Tent is becoming the small tent.
I’d try to tap someone like Harris Faulkner as an early appointee or advisor for Comms, and then someone like Dr. Carson. Early.
Midterms gear up in 13 months?
I want a COLORBLIND GENDERBLIND MERIT BASED GOVERNMENT.
About the only thing that we can say about you is that you’re obsessed with melanin.
Get a grip on yourself. Minorities don’t care even half as much as you do. They care about results.
Poor PC is STILL suffering from the anti Trump, anti MAGA, individuality erasing, Marxist Mind Virus.
Sending get well soon best wishes so the Ugh’s are replaced by expressions of gratitude and joy.
Identity politics is a thing of the path.
It was part of their divide and conquer strategy.
Goodbye, organized crime syndicate.
The Marxist Dims/MSM’ hold card in their D/C strategy was GUILT,… and America’s mandate for Trump/MAGA just rendered it Void.
Why?
Americans now see guilt as a wasted, misdirected and unworthy emotion.
And emotion is all the Tyrants have ever had to rely on,… cuz to most their policies have always created social, material, spiritual destruction and human loss whenever and wherever applied by force or votes.
Enjoy our new Joy.
He just appointed former NFL player and congressman Scott Turner to HUD.
Based on a lot more than just skin color: A winner who knows how to win.
Can’t trust the Cubans … EVER.
Praise the Lord! One of the hardest working unsung heroes. Been praying hard for this to happen.
Great news!!!
Nothing for Atkinson, Kash or Grenell?
Are they burned out on DC?
Ben Carson ?
Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!
In lieu of digital tissues, please accept this digital ice cream cone. 🍦

Among them, Sebastian Gorka will be an advisor and a Counter-Terrorism official.

Damn….busy day
Good stuff-I love Gorka-he’s kick ass and total MAGA
This interview is well worth watching all the way through. Wish we had 100 guys like Vought!
Never expected anyone else should be considered. It likely was more about Vought saying he was up for another round of battles than anything else.
Great pick. Smart guy.
I agree.
When you seperate the wheat from the chaff nominees he ain’t the chaff.
I think Russ Vought is a GREAT choice for OMB!!!
This is a terrific nomination. Vought has both the expertise and the POV to help address looming financial issues. He will be instrumental for accomplishing the goals of DOGE
Knows the operation front to back
I’ve been listening to a variety of interviews with Russ Vought on Warroom for the last several years. No one knows more about the mechanics of federal budgeting than he does, nor the long-term implications of what will happen to our country if federal spending is not brought under control.
I have to chuckle over one faux pas in the announcement. It’s the Commonwealth of Virginia, not the Great State. President Trump always made a point of referring to Pennsylvania as a “Commonwealth” during his rallies there, because to refer to Pennsylvania as a state was political suicide. I guess it doesn’t matter anyhow – he’s the President-elect, even though Virginia went for Kamala.
I was extremely happy to hear about Russ as well as today’s Scott Bessant….and Ludnik..it shows DJT isn’t messing around when it comes to fixing the economy…I have been so discouraged with what I personally think is a complete capitulation to the IC, that I am now focused on 2 things: the economy and staying out of WW3…I have completely readjusted my expectations of another DJT term…I think defeating the IC/deep state at this point is just way too ambitious…we need to wake more people up, clean up our elections, and get rid of the deeply entrenched RINO class…that will take much longer…in the meantime, I am rounding 60 and I would love to be able to look at retirement some day…and DJT is making ALL the right moves for me in that direction….
Virginia is a commonwealth. Just sayin.
Vought has impeccable credentials and knows the systems well. Godspeed Mr. Vought!
Outstanding choice! I was hoping that Vought would be the choice. This is key. This is where the rubber meets the road in how the appropriations are spent.
Five or so new additions posted on Truth Social. Surgeon General, Labor, Advisor (Gorka), HUD, and a security advisor.
Finally added some diversity to the Fox News Billionaires country club.
Build a Big Tent for midterms.
Bondi still troubling, RFK Jr needs a spot, and have we had a CIA director named?
RFK Jr already has a spot…HHS Secretary. CIA is John Radcliffe
Friday cover for Loffeler and Bondi?
RFK,Jr has been tapped for HHS. And, of course, Tulsi Gabbard for DNI.
I don’t think he did a good job as OMB Director under Trump. I never saw any indication he did any ‘throwing of sand in the gears’ of the administrative state.
As OMB he had the power to grind the daily operations of any government agency to a halt by changing the internal operations procedures, but did nothing of the kind. For instance, he could require the EPA to route all documents through an OMB controlled office and them delay them forever.
That first term was before the SCOTUS struck down the Chevron deference. I think this time we’ll have a little more tools dealing with agencies going out of bounds and reigning things in than we could in the 2016 rookie season.

best news all week
So, I have spent the afternoon reading All of Sundance’s articles and a lot of the comments. Been a shadow Treeper since around 2010/2012, somewhere in there. I really cannot recall a time when Sundance has not been spot on with the Current happenings in and around the swamp. I will say that along with some of the commenters, I too have felt some disappointments. Then I had an aha moment. When President Trump first came down the escalator and announced he would be running for the presidency, within two days I had purchased and started reading The Art of The Deal, wanting to attempt to get some grasp of how this man thinks. All of us CTHers need to get a grip, this battle truly is just beginning. And, I will bet you, PDJT has read The Art of War, several times. So, realizing that ,ultimately , Our Heavenly Father is in control, think about All that Poppa has protected this man from. And, we just need to keep praying for his and all around him’s safety and the guiding Wisdom of The Holy Spirit. Make no mistake, Yawhew will not be mocked, as a man sows so shall he reap. Grab some popcorn and watch just how deep this all goes. Been several years in the planning. READ the other articles and let your Positive Imagination run with it. This is going to be extremely interesting and fun to watch. Never ever give up HOPE!!! Have a Blessed night Treepers.
Seeing these on Autism Capital
Russ Vought understands the MAGA mandate, which must be fulfilled rapidly…
Yes, we want and need to traumatize the entire deep sh8t state!…
FallRINOs…
FkStreet…
FDNC…

I am watching the video and regarding the firing of employees the guy has ZERO IMAGINATION.
If the staff are troublesome, you take away their security clearance on the spot and take away their access to computer networks on the spot and you take away their access to buildings and their office. They can keep their ‘job’ while they are legally fired later.
It’s infuriating and why outsiders must come in to save the Executive Branch.
He seems pretty amazing to me. Loved everything he had to say.
Now this seems to be good news….the power of the purse. Pray for this man to be a great help to PDJT. Tucker interview is worth a listen!
The interview was very encouraging when I saw it.
Another GREAT choice! YES MAGA.
Even FDR opposed unionization of the grubberment work force.
Great interview!
SD, thanks for calling our attention to this video.
I like the fact that he went to Wheaton College. He’s most likely a Christian that’s a good sign.
Hope this man is approved and gives Elon & Vivek all the support they may need to ram-rod their assignments to Dog-e’em out of Gov destruction of American Free Enterprise and Individual pursuit of happiness and property as our Founder Framers decreed it
