Eh, I’m not going to dwell on it. Kelly is paying for the inauguration, and hubs Jeff is likely selling Bakkt to Nunes, so whatever. But there is a remarkable irony with billionaire Kelly Loeffler, wife of NYSE owning billionaire Jeffrey Sprecher, being nominated for Administrator of the Small Business administration.
[Source]
I’m sure she will do fine. If her presence on the sidelines helps the team, then cool.
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 nomination of Loeffler is a nod to the Sea Island group (those that pay the Senators) as the larger Trump nomination process continues.
Booooooooooooo!

Trump is officially a politician
If you believe that, you’ve learned nothing. So sad.
First seek to understand then to be understood. I think you should reread the rules on posting because you added nothing to my point other than a weak attempt to insult me.
Do better
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.

Favors for RINO’s are never reciprocated (B**** Glitch Mitch and Elaine as Trans Sec). RINO’s will RINO and stab you in the back no matter what.
This one I don’t get at all unless the $$$ behind the scenes is so substantial that this was a no-brainer.
KL is a snake…always has been, always will be. She offers NOTHING for the SBA.
If you ever expected dishonest narcissists to repay favors you are only fooling yourself.
There are certain traits one must have to be a politician.non relate to being a honest truthful human being.I think scumbaggery may fit them.
Couldn’t he just give her an ambassadorship somewhere? Jeebers.
Aren’t those often used as “thank you” cards?
Yes, keep repeating that,…ambassadorships are given out as thank you cards, ….not worth paying any attention to.
SBA the agency that only gives business loans to minority applicants especially if they are foreign born from third world countries. Everybody knows it, too!
SBA should be eliminated!
Yes!
Over the years I’ve talked to a number of actual small business owners who said the SBA was next to useless for their endeavors.
I’m thinking this is an innocuous position that probably can’t hurt, but no one should expect anything positive to emerge from all this. It does allow for KL to add to her gov’t resume for future unnamed purposes.
Agree, then musk and ramaswampy can recommend that the SBA be targeted for a complete defunding. Works for me. The SBA is too closely tied to the Chamber of Commerce.
So much so that RICO applies?
Please Please Please let it be so!
Ooohhh YES! And it really could be so!
DJT may not let them do that one.
I like it now..
People who have suffered losses from presidentially declared disasters also can seek SBA loans.
About every 1 and 2 star motel chain is now owned by Pakistani’s or Indians courtesy of the SBA
“You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”

Try getting a Dunkin Donut franchise if you’re from India!
California Joe: Thus contributing to the “vibrancy” of the community.
Exactly! We need to speak the truth. Remember, the federal government approved a $300,000 business loan to the Saudi Terrorist who flew a 727 into the World Trade Center.
…and they approved it AFTER the attack!
I ain’t heard of that department a day in my life!
Eh, whatever. Sideline is a good way to put it. JV versus Varsity.
Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.
Ya know…..Can’t say I’ve ever really agreed with that saying/practice.
Ditto. WAAAAY overstated.
So is the 3 D chess mantra.
Trump Jr is already getting richer and taking J D Vance with him.We are just Tax Pigs for the Grifter class.Can you just imagine,the carbon footprint the Grifters cause.hell They cause mo work and energy to be used because of their thievery of our tax money.They are what should be referred to as a educated waste, like the MSM bobble heads. They add nothing of value to a civilized society except uncertainty crime and filth.
That way you won’t even see the knife as they plunge it into your back…
More than a bit of irony here I think.
A subtle slight mayhap.
Just how many of those regulations exist solely as barriers to entry for industries to reduce competition?
Please clap!
Why do we need an administration for small business?
To pretend that government cares about small businesses.
It should be renamed:
The Little People Administration.
The best support the administration could provide for small businesses is to drastically cut back the nonsense regulations and government restrictions. Big businesses can afford entire “compliance departments” and huge legal teams. Small businesses cannot.
Government regulation serves as a barrier to competition that protects big businesses against small upstarts.
She’s a snake in the grass and thoroughly corrupt.
Having said that, it’s probably not a big deal. Our President will have people below her doing the day to day work-and keeping an eye on Madam Serpent.
True, but even snakes are important in the ecosystem of the swamp. They are necessary predators that control rats, opossum, and other critters. They have a heck of a venomous bite..Coral snakes in particular are deadly..red on yellow, kiss a fellow. Red on black, hey jump back.
Not thrilled but I’ll take SD’s lead and say no more. For now.
Sprecher flexed his muscles when he refused to delist Chinese telecom companies linked to PDJT’s EO only to do a 2nd u-turn & comply.

Giving her a seat in the nose bleed section of the arena is what her hubby earned for her with that bone headed move.
Another obviously compromised pick of another completely unnecessary agency that was never contemplated by the drafters of the Constitution.
I think it would be fair to say Madison would have been dumbfounded and horrified at the very thought of the SBA.
DOGE it.
So be it.
Trust God. Fear not.
I remember back in the late ’90s looking into an SBA loan to start a Matco tool route. At the time, the smallest SBA loan you could apply for was $120,000. I said screw those guys. Small, independent businesses don’t need SBA, just suckers that get scammed by greedy franchises, at least in my experience. Let it die, along with the opportunistic corporations getting others to pay their bills.
Retired Magistrate here: Well, we live in very interesting times.
Indeed we do, Marcia. And the roller coaster hasn’t even started yet, and some are already losing their lunch and wetting themselves.
The more I see the level of “deals” that have to be made, in order to accomplish anything, the more saddened and frustrated I become, TBH.
Just because we understand it does not mean that we have to be happy about!
Continuing to look to the author and perfector of my faith and putting my trust in Him and Him alone!

Yes, but my auto correct want let me ‘ speak it’..
Packing peanuts.
In order to try to sneak a few in past them, ya give em some controversial ones to get their panties all in a twist over (like Gaetz) and hope that distracts them and they expend energy and political Capital on squelching them,…and you give them packing peanuts, in positions where yiu don’t really CARE, like surgeon general or U N. ambassador, then you try to sneak a few ‘sleepers’ by, and hope they don’t notice.
Theres more strategy and tactics, but not here,…
Have them overuse their Alinsky canards and thus they lose power, which they have been as they tried them on PDJT. I think that was the idea with Gaetz anyways.
What Was the Matt Gaetz Attorney General Pick Really About?
https://chroniclesmagazine.org/web/what-was-the-matt-gaetz-attorney-general-pick-really-about/
Doubtful that the senators would vote against a former senator.
That would be like saying that KL’s time in the senate didn’t especially indicate that she was qualified for whatever imaginable position in government might need to be filled. Why would the senators disparage themselves?
She still has her club alumni button and knows the secret handshake.
Squirl…point, point.
Our real enemies are not the Democrats, it’s the filthy RINOs..
They have given away more victories than the Democrats have won…
Absolutely agree. Senate Republicans are the enemy of MAGA.
Connections on top of connections in the group of elites. And we’re not among them or rather, they aren’t among us, have no understanding of life below.
is nothing sacred?
Some actions are unforgivable and for some reason not mentioned in this CTH post.
Turncoat phony Kelly Loeffler, voted to certify a fake President in 2020 using the innocent January 6 election fraud protesting American patriots as an excuse to justify her actions.
“When I arrived in Washington this morning I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes,” Loeffler said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider, and I cannot, now, in good conscience, object to the certification.”
–Kelly Loeffler
EVERY SENATOR, please correct me if I am wrong, voted to certify the election,AFTER the phony insurrection; that was the whole idea.
Why single out KL?
No, not every Senator but regardless of that it is Kelly Loeffler who is being installed into Trumps administration, not every Senator.
I stand corrected. Because they had declared it an “Emergency” (manufactured) they put in place emergency rules which prohibited any Senator or Congressman from objecting, they could only vote yes or no.
Still it was the game being played, any who voted no knew that there vote would hsve no effect on the outcome.
And, not one has come forward since, and used their access to the microphones to repeat Regitigers explanation for what really happened,….
AND THEY ALL KNOW.
The only thing I can think of worse then knowingly assisting the installation of a fake anti-American pResident would be knowingly condemning innocent American citizens and taking away their freedom. It remains to be seen how hiring people who failed at being human will help us in the next 4 years.
So, true. To desecrate the sacredness of any American’s vote is unthinkable, regardless of how they vote. It represented freedom that was purchased with life and limb by those who protect our freedoms.
Regitiger gave the very best explanation of what went down that day. I had it saved but it disappeared somewhere. Once that emergency was declared it was all over but the crying.
CTH search bar does wonders for such things gone walk about.
I thought the story was she promised then renegged
What good conscience?
Which is why I did not vote in the Senate run off: PURE PRETENSE. Wonder if she knows ANYTHING about Harrison Deal’s untimely death – her staffer on the way to a campaign event for her in December 2020.
So much we don’t know ON PURPOSE about Georgia politics.
but can she help lead small businesses. I am not convinced. But I’m with you, I’m about over worrying this stuff. I do WANT to know who is going to be over FEMA … while I don’t like Ron DeSantis, I do think he’d be a good one at FEMA
I was “over worrying about PDJT’s nominees” about a week ago, but we’re still here.
I don’t like Ron DeSantis.
Whoever takes over FEMA, presumably won’t issue directives to walk on by houses “that advertise MAGA or Trump”.
PDJT had people on top of disaster management in his first term, IIRC.
No doubt he will in his second. Let Ron wither on the vine, chafing at his irrelevance.
He would have been a great candidate for the worthless UN position and clear him out of Florida.
Homeland Security is over FEMA. Mayorkas has been calling the shots on all disasters. Possibly the reason no help for NC. /s
You may be right but others can do the job too. The problem with FEMA was the misappropriation of funds for illegals and the DEI executive orders. Ron DeS is in limbo now and needs to finish out his term as governor…PDJT probably will make him squirm a bit longer before he moves up to DC in Jan 2027. Heck, he could even run as a FL Rep again. Lots of moving parts in the machinery.
Our President Trump has a wry sense of humor… “stick her in the SBA and give her a corner office”
“When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object to the certification of the electoral votes.
However, the events that have transpired today have forced me to reconsider and I cannot now in good conscience object to the certification of these electors.”

Wellll….I left a strongly worded comment on Truth Social…🤮
Should consider a senate run.
gooooooooooood girl !!!!!
It is a big club and we ain’t in it.
No, and if you want to see how we would be treated if we tried to enter their club, see Pete Hagseth and how he is being welcomed.
Is her neck really that long, or is it an optical illusion?
She is AI….
Pencilneck’s cousin.
Probably a lizard-person
Definitely an aging woman that thinks by having long and blond hair will keep her looking youthful.
It’s working for Pam Bondi apparently.
As a 60 – year old man, I will say that it isn’t working for Bondo Bondi (who is nearly 60 herself).
Great Gripe Fest here.
Q: What would President Trump assign her to accomplish (for Small Business or related Administration Priority) and what deadline would he give her?
Q: What might President Trump get from her regarding Sea Island “roles and assignments” that he needs to thwart?
Q: What tip-offs might she and her husband give President Trump before he’s blindsided by the Global Cabal?
I would like her to send the SBA org chart to the DOGE special agents. With names, phone numbers and social security numbers.
Doesn’t DOGE have a X account to send suggestions for areas the public wants to see cuts?
She’s probably never worked a day in her life….so there’s that.
Actually she was born in Illinois on a corn and soybean farm.
Joni Ernst was born in Iowa on a hog farm?
A delicious irony, indeed!

“What about the “deep state” that rules us, of which we caught a glimpse at Sea Island?
A diligent legislature of a democratic republic would have long since dragged America’s deep state out into the sunlight.”
Thanks Colkito, now favorited on my phone….
A long time fan of Buchannan, but didn’t have this wealth of his material before.
I find it ironic that the “Small Business Administration” has over 2,500 employees and close to $ 1 billion dollar budget?
Whatever
Here’s another name to throw into the Trump nomination process: General Gus Perna for DEA administrator.
He is retired and appears to be living in small town Alabama, not hanging out in Washington DC.
Perna is the guy who designed and ran Operation Warp Speed until the White House took over that project in 2021. That is the year Perna reached his 20 years of service and retired.
He did not develop or market the vaxx. He created and executed on his plan to deliver highly perishable products to over sixty different states, territories, and jurisdictions. The cargo had to be maintained constantly at a subzero temperature.
Perna is a logistics expert. As I commented yesterday on the DEA thread, the cartels are in the logistics business. The DEA has plenty of lawmen and lawyers. Lawmen and lawyers are often positioned to respond to problems, not so much to get ahead of them. To beat the criminal logistics guys, the DEA needs a top logistics man who can analyze the workings of the cartels all the way down to the retail level drug dealers and lay plans to disrupt their activities.
IMO, Perna would be a great pick for DEA. If anyone here knows him and/or somebody on the transition team, please make some suggestions. He is on linkedin.com.
Bonus Points for knowing how to hold the cartels “constantly at a subzero temperature”.
LOL

I am starting to understand how the uniparty works.
Its like an octapus with tenacles.
Lose one or more – grow one or more back.
The man behind the curtain pulls many levers.
The levers control the machine of pretendville.
I get it.
Now You are thinking. It operates like the WWF ,world wrestling Federation.You let my boy win this week i let yours win next week,we keep the ignorant entertained make much bucks and stay in power.
SBA is tangled up in the PPP loans. Maybe she’ll make sure her cronies get theirs illegally forgiven and instead persecute any MAGA’s.
Just because
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
The majority of these wealthy people he is choosing are easy to read. They are for whatever benefits them financially, they will go along with it till they feel there is not enough profit or prestige.
Trump knows this and knows how to use them to his advantage I believe. He’s not concerned if they benefit as long as it accomplishes what he needs done. I think he will try and keep track of each one of them this time around also.
” Go away when there’s no profit or prestige ??” Piglosi, Miss Lindsey, The Turtle,etc….Think again
Loeffler will be competing with Coinbase, currently the largest crypto currency exchange platform and most prominent exchange by trading volume, in the US. I think Loeffler is late to the game.
Is anybody else already sick of Susie Wiles. President Trump got himself elected, not Susie. Time for Susie to go back to The Villages … He doesn’t owe her sh*t.
Between Susia and Vance along with Trump Jr . When the curtain opens we will see a clown show.
SBA funnels FedBux to “community banks,” which fund politically favorable local projects (real estate deals, mostly) and shovel donations into the political coffers of congresscritters.
The best thing the gubmint could do for small business is get out of the way and leave us alone.
I can’t remember who said, “If voting mattered, they wouldn’t let us do ir” but it looks like he or she was right. The Georgians voted Loeffler out and here she is again. Spit. Spit.
No, “Georgians voted Loeffler out”; we did NOT vote Loeffler out.
Those races were rigged bigly…….Kemp and Raffensberger were behind it all.
The 2 Dem creeps we have now are detestable!
Hmm… I remember SD mentioning her PublicSquare (the small business hub) connection through Jr.
Maybe it’s a stretch to say but it seems she is to that what Palantir is to JD.
Tucker shills for PublicSquare too. The clothes it sells seem very expensive.
I believe there should be a concern about Trump eating away at the House Majority. Gives very little room for having a solid majority. It might just bite him in the rear .
Wife of sec chair or whatever doesn’t know diddly squat about small business.
I don’t trust her. I remember her bowing down to Warnock.
