It is all coming together nicely. With Lt General Keith Kellogg special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, and with the appointment of Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East, President Trump has essentially created a construct that works around the insufferable issues with a globalist State Department.
Senator Marco Rubio was nominated for Secretary of State, thereby removing him from the Senate Intelligence Committee and leadership role in Gang of Eight intel; but Trump simultaneously put in guardrails against the neocon tendencies of the Florida Senator and junior McCain.
Rubio doesn’t have Ukraine/Russia in his portfolio, nor does he have diplomatic or policy control over the Middle East. President Trump has neutered the State Department, and the cherry on the proverbial cake is what he just announced.

Yes, President Trump has just confirmed that Ric Grenell will be the “Emissary” we have discussed. Great job Mr President (for all the obvious reasons).
With Nunes leading a private intel advisory committee and with Grenell being the most powerful, agile and flexible person to run strategic foreign policy operations, the tentacle influence of the Deep State is removed from the Oval Office. Now the official cabinet team can start pouring sunlight into the silos.
Without a doubt in my mind, the “emissary” is the most important person President Trump will select.
The Washington DC Intelligence Community (IC) actively work to isolate the office of the president. This is an almost impossible dynamic to avoid, caused by an entrenched and ideological adversary who has dug themselves deep into the apparatus of government.
The “emissary” is the person who carries the word of President Trump to any person identified by President Trump. The emissary is very much like a tape recording of President Trump in human form. The emissary travels to a location, meets a particular person or group, and then recites the opinion of the President. The words spoken by the emissary, are the words of President Trump.
The IC cannot inject themselves into this dynamic; that is why it is so valuable.
The emissary then hears the response from the intended person or group, repeats it back to them to ensure he/she will return with clarity of intent as expressed, and then returns to the office of the presidency and repeats the reply for the President. The emissary recites back exactly what he was /is told.
This process is critical when you understand how thoroughly compromised the full Executive Branch is. More importantly, this process becomes even more critical when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their position.
Read this next sentence slowly…. If the Senate confirms a director of an IC silo, then that director is demonstrably going to lie to the office of the President.
The Senate only confirms Intelligence Community leadership who are willing to LIE to THE PRESIDENT. This is just a factual reality.
If the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) confirms them, they will lie. That is the main role of the SSCI.
The people who constructed the Silos then metastasized the control rot within them, use the term “continuity of government,” to describe the true role and responsibility of the system. This is not factually wrong.
Where people go wrong is misunderstanding what the “continuity” is that is being maintained. Truly, the continuity of government is the priority. However, it’s the continuity of currently corrupt and immoral government we are now maintaining.
The CIA Director will lie to President Trump (they did, remember), the information that comes from within the CIA institution is political and false.
The FBI Leadership will lie to President Trump (they did, remember), the information that comes from within the FBI institution is political and false.
The AG will lie, same problem.
The DNI will lie, same problem.
The NSA will lie, and all the deputies therein will lie, same problem, same problem, same problem.
Washington DC puts it this way, you probably heard Bill Barr talking about ad-infinitum. The IC leadership is responsible for maintaining the “continuity of government” at all costs. The government is more important than The President.
If the continuity of government is maintained by lying to the office of the President, then so be it. Or, as James Comey said when justifying his lies to the President and his manipulation on March 20th, 2017: “because of the sensitivity of the matter.”
You can get as angry as you want about this, it’s just the DC system that exists. We must deal with what exists, not what we would pretend there to be.
If a candidate for an IC position is not willing to lie to the President, that is to believe the lies that come from within the silo they are in charge of, then the Senate will not confirm him/her. This is why President Trump needs an emissary.
The role of the emissary is critical, the qualifications for that role are extremely important.
Remember, this person is speaking on behalf of President Trump. And representing the responding voice with a similar level of clarity.
The emissary must be of incredible moral character. They must be honest. The person should be entirely altruistic. They must have exceptional judgement, possess no ego, be impervious to scrutiny or review. They must maintain themselves at the highest moral standards at all times and exhibit incredible judgement and wisdom.
Due to the nature of the position the emissary is extremely powerful; therefore, a disposition of humility is also critical. The President must be able to trust this person without reservation or issue. At the same time, the entire weight of the U.S. Intelligence Community apparatus will seek to compromise the emissary, as they try to put walls around the President who holds silo-busting power.
Honesty, integrity, humility, trustworthiness, unimpeachable character and exceptional judgement, establish the baseline of traits the emissary must possess.
This is a choice that will be deeply important to President Trump. Fortunately, it is not a position that requires any confirmation or external approval. Judgement, discernment, wisdom and silence are the strength characteristics.
Excellent choice!

First term he used the state dept bait to humiliate Romney, then he chose a big time oil exec to hammer down on the Saudis but the dems put their chipmunks into the phone lines (vindeman) and the AG was impotent so things kept getting messed up after the generals (Mattis, Kelly and Mcmaster) started exerting their egos.
The layout is different this time. There will still be ALOT of resistance but we’ve got a game plan based more on Sun Tzu thinking and a good chance of accomplishment, at least in foreign affairs.
Perfect 🙂
Will appointing Trump’s own people put a stop to the state department interfering in foreign elections with people like Samantha Powers and Victoria Nuland? I keep hoping they do something obvious in Hungary and they are arrested.
NO … the “professional” staff land-mines still have their contacts and as we saw in 2017 to 2020, they will detonate on command. The test comes after they detonate … how are they handled and a significant part of the test also comes before detonation … to see if any of the appointees proactively clear the land mines.
There will be detonations … can’t be avoided due to the nature of the beast … it is now a test of loyalty on the part of the appointees as to how the enemy inside the gates is handled.
The professional staff and the Obama Lead Shadow Think Tank were source of leaks, opposition and impeachment evidence 2017 to 2020. The Land Mines have been planted in the form of 1,000’s of new hires and the public declaration 2-weeks ago that the Think Tank Shadow Government has been activated again.
“The test comes after they detonate … how are they handled and a significant part of the test also comes before detonation … to see if any of the appointees proactively clear the land mines.”
As we have seen there are laws on the books to ensnare virtually anyone. My hope is that Kash is going to be busy.
Fire anyone hired after November 5.
Drop the big one.
Fire anybody hired after Nov 22 … 1963.
The genius way Trump is setting up MAGA47 to defeat Obama/Biden’s new shadow-government is by creating MAGA shadow-government by appointing these “special advisor,” “emissary,” “special assistant to the President” positions.
The establishment Swamp departments are being bypassed. The old Swamp departments may still have fancy titles, fancy buildings and fancy budgets but they are going to have severely restricted actual power. The real power will be with Trump’s shadow-cabinet.
The questionable nominees for some high-profile cabinet positions are probably in a probationary role. Those who need to prove they are genuine MAGA not pretenders, people like Rubio, Bondi, Tulsi, RFKjr., will have a test to pass. If they deliver consistent good results maybe their department can get more relevance back and more power back. If not, they will stay bypassed by Trump’s shadow advisors.
Trump identified the way to Drain the Swamp – first bypass the Swamp, drain the Swamp of its relevance, create new shadow-positions to replace the Swamp’s most essential functions. Then and only then can the Swamp be eliminated. Until then you are still dependent on the Swamp and the Swamp will hold POTUS hostage.
Wouldn’t the DOGE hold the funding purse strings for all these junkets? Cut the funding & the odious meddlers can’t pay for these $$$ trips & snares on their own. Could it be that simple??
DOGE advises the President on which to cut. They have no authority. They will be presenting many cuts however.
Defund, remove.
The people you named…as in 2017 to 2020 will become paid consultants and employees of the shadow Government Think Tank who are at the very moment gathering foreign and domestic clients, by offering services related to “how to interact with President Trump’s Government”.
The quote is directly from the public statement put out in 2017 by the Obama Lead Think Tank, after Obama and JoeBama Biden made their whirlwind 2016 good-bye tour to Europe and Asia in December 2016.
Mary, you, I, and every citizen is controlled [led by the government Mafia/. Make sure you pay your taxes, or else. Thank God that life has an ending.
So are you giving up the fight against the gov/mob? It is just starting.
Listening to Vindman, Yavonovich, Taylor, et al. it was rather clear ‘they’ were running policy in Ukraine, not PDJT. Their collective hubris was galling.
Based on the political makeup of DC, it wouldn’t surprise me if most US Embassy personnel operate with similar intentions.
Who can fire Samantha Powers and Victoria Nuland? Surely the President through his chosen Secretary of State can axe these ne’er-do-wells, if not recommend investigations of their subversive behavior against sovereign nations?
Isn’t Nuland working now in Tech as the censorship czar?
We now know what the special Edu. kids can do , now lets see how the Gifted preform. Sometimes the line between Ignorance in Brilliance is somewhat blurred. Common sense usually prevail over most of these two groups.
I contend that the State Department is not be considered neutered as the Professional Class still have their “CONTACTS” and Professional Embassy staffs for use to counter president Trump. These CONTACTS were the sources used to support the Impeachments as well as Russia Gate.
We will not know how “neutered” any of the Cabinet or Executive Entity Staffs are in reality until the first Trump appointee tries to fire and/or replace any of them … especial if one does something illegal or is used as an exploding land-mine and that professional is swiftly brought to justice. The neutering of the professional staff will also be the actual litmus test for any of the suspicious picks President trump has made for appointees.
It all looks nice on paper and surface … to me the real test comes after 20 January when it all has to function as a SINGLE EXECUTIVE lead by the President. No more face value wish sandwiches.
Reminder: 2-weeks ago the JoeBama Administration went on a professional Staff hiring spree emplacing land mines and soon to be Senator Adam Schiff announced that the Obama Shadow Government Think Tank is now operating.
Obama and JoeBama Biden made their whirlwind 2016 good-bye tour to Europe and Asia in December 2016 gathering clients and assuring Foreign Governments that President Trump will be neutralized. Soon after, the Obama lead shadow Government went into operation and publicly announced the offering of their services to Foreign and Domestic entities … “how to interact and deal with President Trump’s Government”.
Look for a similar tour by the JoeBama Administration using Sock Puppet Joe as their cover.
Their clients included: Iran, North Korea, Australia, the EU Government, Germany, the State of CA, and others.
Removing security clearances might help.
Trump should cancel the security clearances of anyone on Biden’s commutation list. If you have been pardoned from a federal crime, you should not have a security clearance.
I would also cancel the clearances of anyone who no longer is employed by or represents the federal government.
Security clearances are supposed to be issued on a “need to know” basis. Those people have no valid need to know.
They may have a personal desire to know but there is no national interest in letting them have continued access.
How about: REMOVE 100% of security clearances, and start fresh?
I like this idea, but it requires a ready-on-day-one process NOT involving anyone currently in the chain of command that can quickly (as in, immediately) clear those on team Trump who have a “need to know.”
How is the Obama Think Tank funded and if it’s by the US Treasury couldn’t DOGE take a hammer to it – or at least make enough noise that Congress would have to deal with it?
If people in the State Department stop getting invited to lunch by lobbyists and foreign embassies;
When journalists stop calling them for off-the-record insider information;
When NGOs and Think Tanks stop sending them policy wish-lists;
When all the names in their Rolodex no longer return their calls, emails, texts, social invites…
Those self-important State Department functionaries will lose their minds! They may become despondent. Hopefully State Department has good mental-health and suicide-prevention counselling.
When all the people who want to buy influence, very quickly realize that people in the State Department who used to have influence no longer have that influence… they will stop trying to buy influence from those people.
Being able to sell influence is core to those people’s sense of identity. It is who they are. They see themselves as the hub of influence. Losing that will be a crushing blow to their ego that they may never recover from.
There is nothing more pitiful than an aged Courtesan or faded starlet long past her prime, still selling but nobody’s buying.
Eliminate funding to all NGOs?
Prosecute NGOs who flew in illegal immigrants.
There is nothing more pitiful than an aged Courtesan or faded starlet long past her prime, still selling but nobody’s buying.
And even worse, no one managed to make her President.
Counseling? I’d send a 100′ roll of 3/4″ hemp to every embassy
Lay off recent hires; all Obama political appointees; and ‘burrowing’ political appointees-to-lifetime Federal employment Obama enacted in 2016.
He converted thousands of political appointments to lifetime Federal service.
This is Sedition and an overthrow of our government and they all should be arrested immediately.

Last Hired First Fired.
Wonderful, wonderful news. I have such respect for Rick Grennell and obviously President Trump does too. He will do an amazing job. I love that Lil’ Marco is being siloed off. I wonder if he even realizes what’s happening to him. Hehehe.
Rubio seems to be a below average IQ guy. My guess is he’s oblivious to the guardrails being built around him.
He might not even care. He will still be able to give pretty speeches and be introduced on the Sunday morning shows as the pretty (short) Secretary of State.
Rubio will get to attend state dinners in Europe and a good time will be had for all.
lindak: Exactly.
And maybe Florida/the GOP gets a MAGA senator with Laura Trump. If De Santis is smart he will make this happen.
As Florida Governor, he would benefit greatly from all of PDJT’s successes if he gets with the program.
Marco and Desantis have a secret they share that is an internet location where they buy “unnoticeable” heel lifts….
Rubio’s ego is huge. It likely blinds him to seeing he is being sidelined. Even if he does see the warning signs his ego will convince him he can overcome those barriers.
Maybe Rubio can increase/refine his administrative skills from managing 10000+ State employees!
How long will it take for Rubio to show us who is his boss? I thing he will be gone within a year or so.
We can only hope. His owner is Cuba and the Communist Party.
Does anyone have thoughts on the timing and sequence of the various personnel announcements? I am 100% sure that Trump has a reason for it, but I’m not sure what that is.
In the corporate world, marketing departments call the continual rollout of news releases “rolling thunder”.
Trump probably does have a strategy in the sequence, but by spacing out the announcements, it keeps a continuous news cycle focused on Trump. It takes some oxygen away from the fake news.
The fake news community is overwhelmed and confused as to “which mole they should wack first!”
Fun to watch!!
Perzactly!!! Bongino has been talking about that strategy for a while. The drive bys can’t focus on any one nominee to pick.
They might seize upon Grenell.
You know how they hate it when someone of an identity they are supposed to own, as they would a slave, rebels against them.
Let them.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahah…………………….
Exactly.
Maybe the drones are a distraction to keep the public from focusing on Biden’s pardons.
The drones are toys to the men who never got to real play with them, they are just trying them out before they leave.
Can see Milley, Austin, et al whining “I never got to fly the drones.”
the drones are equal to calling squirrel for dogs but we react like our dogs as they are only distractions
Politics is a game played,for fools by fools ,with fools.Proper governance is a very rare commodity,leadership by Righteous people is ever rarer.What we are watching is,the View vs the gong show.
Consequential appointments just coincidentally seem to happen on Saturday afternoons less than a day before the Sunday morning talk shows…
Erecting or demolition of a structure must be done in very specific sequence and is what PT accels!
Some is done in parallel and this is where the magic lies.
Weeks. Months. Years. Then “suddenly” everyone sees the new building.
The timing might have a purposeful reason but could be as simple as the nominees have to 1) agree and then 2) finish up or sideline for a future date any current business opportunities they are involved in and 3) probably doing their own personal background check to make sure they can do an honest service to PDJT without some sudden drama derailing the work before them.
The nominees that need Senate approval might be doing 1) and 2) above but, if as Sundance explains, they will be willing to lie to the President in order to obtain that post then 3) above is the insurance policy the swamp will use to ensure they do, indeed, lie to the President and anyone else they are told to misconstrue words to.
Some of Trump’s best picks were announced over a weekend. He is putting them out publicly but during the quietest part of the news cycle.
Sundance has observed that many silo-dwellers are shockingly poorly informed. They might miss some of these announcements or fail to grasp their relevance. Attack by stealth.
I hope he proves worthy of the president’s trust.
Trust already has been earned, my 2 cents.
He has a track record of loyalty. In President Trump’s first term, Ric Grenell held a number of roles and never betrayed us. He was Acting Director of National Intelligence, Special Presidential Envoy for the peace negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo, Ambassador to Germany. In recent years he’s been working hard to flip California red.
He’s been a loyal, clear voice for MAGA and President Trump over the years. Didn’t allowed himself to be bullied by the opposition or the Swamp. Very articulate and capable. Downthread Bennet calls him a Honey Badger… apt .. a MAGA Honey Badger.
Ditto.
Grenell is an outstanding choice.
If past performance is indicative of the future, then Grinell appears to be the right man for the job as emissary. Godspeed to him, and may he have the same divine protection over him as that over Trump on Butler, PA.
But there is one thing I’ll throw out there as something I’ve been wondering about—why has Grinell, as a very trusted, loyal friend of the PDJT, ever been targeted by the deep state, or by the DOJ in their myriad lawfare attempts? I’ve never seen him hauled before a hostile committee in the House or Senate to be grilled over something they could use as “proof” that Trump is XYZ. No Soros-funded DA has gone after him, nor has the CA AG (to my knowledge).
Is it because he is a member of a protected class (homosexual) and attacking him would hurt their narrative? Or is there another reason?
I guess I’m still suffering PTSD from the first term when so many were jailed as a great pick and later turned out to be a deep state believer/foil.
I hope Grinell is all he appears to be because Trump and the nation will need a very loyal person to be his emissary. I just wonder why he has gotten a pass by the deep state all these years when getting Trump at all costs was the goal. .
The Germans whined about him, and don’t forget, he was in a key position to do damage for a short time. He released some Russia documents and handed off others to Ratcliffe to release.
Think about the military bloat. At one time we had 40 military bases in Germany; today its still 21?
Ric G. is flat-out terrific. I don’t have a single qualm.
That said, I laughed at your wordo above where a finger slip yielded “many were jailed as a great pick.” (You clearly meant “hailed.”)
Yes, some of them should have been jailed! 😆 Barr and Pence leap to mind…
Good catch! I missed the spell check 😉
Love Ric, period.
If Trump appoints can we now fire? I mean one conservative can put a 1000 to flight 2 can put 10,000, right? Is this our battle for our promised land?
I, regardless of my PHD, cannot understand your incoherent sentences. My God in heaven. what the hell is happening to this tree?
I have 76 years of Common sense! I understand totally.
I’ve always liked Grennell. He’s not a flagrant gay and I’m sure he’s seen some sh-t. And he’s always agrred with Trump.
He proudly calls himself “an imperfect follower of Christ” on his header. I’ve never heard nor seen anything out of him to suggest anything questionable. I only wish he was SoS.
?. What is sos?
Secretary of State
I’m guessing Secretary of State.
I wish everyone would spell things out a bit more.
Secretary of State.
In his X profile, he used to describe himself as (paraphrasing by faulty memory) a “flawed follower of Jesus Christ”.
We all are.
Grenell is my favorite honey badger.
Wow…just Wow, SD. I am absolutely sure that the Pres reads your comments the first thing every morning. The selection is absolutely brilliant. I look at the position as 47’s “gunslinger.” I look at his selection of Ric as one of the rare people that could just possibly meet all of the personal skills criteria that you have described. Going forward, just think about the phone ringing on your desk and a meeting being requested with the “gunslinger.” Chilling maybe!
Wait til they get a load of where he is now:

Boots on ground reporting here. There were only about 500 pro-EU (globalists) in that march, and double that amount on the pro-GA (nationalist) side.
The Pro-EU tribe are the Antifa and Anarchist folks (like USA leftists).
The Pro-GA tribe (Georgia Dream) are the MAGA minded nationalist folks. Much bigger group.
Yeah, I’m in Tblisi. lolol. Cold as f**k here
Thanks for sharing!
Georgian food is fabulous!
Where people go wrong is misunderstanding what the “continuity” is that is being maintained. Truly, the continuity of government is the priority. However, it’s the continuity of currently corrupt and immoral government we are now maintaining.
Gvt is a living thing. Like all living things it wants to survive, grow, reproduce.
Walnut trees drop a toxin to poison the soil and prevent competition. Wild grapes are parasites that will pull down and kill the host trees. Gvt has been taken over by kudzu that smothers everything in it’s path.
It takes the willingness to continually prune and manage or you lose control and then the next manager must use a chainsaw to clean up the mess. Using a chain saw on vines is a way to get hurt so you must chose a more precise tool.
It looks like VSGPDFT is assembling his tool kit well.
The kudzu bureaucracy and IC need to be cut back with a chainsaw, and the roots burnt.
Destroy roots yes. Chainsaw No.
Vines get wrapped around the blade and cutting stops.
That is exactly what deep state is going to try.
Bind PDT so he stalls and nothing changes.
Don’t want that.
Anvil loppers, or a machete IF you have the wrist snap to make it work.
Finesse. 😉
Truth as you spoke is the tool we all need. God bless you.
Yes, kudzu smothers everything in its path – but it IS beautiful, as opposed to its meaning here.
So does bittersweet vine (our New England version of kudzu).
In my garden I often find paired with bittersweet another vine, much weaker and far more shallow-rooted – but it clings everywhere it can get its little feelers and is an unbelievable annoyance.
It’s called stickywilly.
I often think of the Clintons when eradicating this particular pairing.
Government is a parasite. If not controlled, it will destroy its host.
The Foreign Relations Committee and IC Select and Oversight Committee chairmen are going to be busy passing out crying towels and fending off temper tantrums. It will be glorious.
Now: repeal the Patriot Act!
That is the one that will surely destroy this, Nation. We were all naive at the time of the attack. Even Bush must know by now that he screwed up. I’m not so sure of his VP Chaney and his offspring.
Dismantle the TSA, eqioment, personnel & all therein!! No more scans, pat-downs, IDs—nothing! They have caught 0 “terrorists” since their inception, but they sure have terrorized us!
Ambassador Grenell needs to watch his back and keep his phone/etc. clean from taps and spying outsiders.
Good choice. Wonder where his office will be?
When President Trump says “hottest spots around the world,” I hope that includes Langley (CIA), Capitol Hill, the Pentagon, and the nearly 100 other locations around the country where American intelligence agencies are based. Mr. Grenell needs unfettered access to the entirety of the Swamp in order to properly fumigate it.
Respectfully, perhaps because its self-evident, the person who is emissary must have NO AGENDA IF THEIR OWN.
So many drawn to the POTUS, who want to work in the WH, DO have their own agenda. And that agenda taints their advice to him, as well as their actions.
I believe PDJT is doing a pretty good job of weeding out anyone with a personal agenda, and getting mostly highly skilled people who’s agenda is MAGA.
As there will be turnover, I hope he is also nominating Ambassadors who are both talented and have only a MAGA agenda, so that he can call on them to fill Cabinet positions as’acting’ should the need arise; in other words, ‘cloning’ Ric Grennel.
I also believe PDJT has figured out how to finesse the Senate Rinos, in order to get his nominees past the gauntlet the Senate Rinos will force them to run.
As he himself has said, this time PDJT has his list, he knows who is naughty and who is nice, he is focused on putting together an all star team of a Cabinet, AND OUTSIDE ADVISORS, such as DC has never seen.
Because lets not forget DOGE; 3 teams that are not needing Senate confirmation, one as an alternative to State, including Grennel, one as an alternative to the I/C, with Nunes at the top, and one to reccomend cut, cut, cuts to positions and whole Departments (DOGE) for PDJT to then carry out.
Its a beautiful plan, coming together and I really don’t think the machiavelian attempts to pre-emptively thwart PDJT being attempted by Biden and the deep State will be any impediment to our President.
This helps the “beautiful plan”!!!
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/01/supreme-court-rules-president-trump-has-absolute-immunity-for-official-actions-within-constitutional-authority/
FTA “…“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”… In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court of the United Stated ruled that presidents have “absolute immunity” for official “actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority.” [SEE RULING HERE] Also, “official acts” cannot be used as evidence against the president in a criminal case.”
President Trump called the ruling ‘powerful’.
“Yes, President Trump has just confirmed that Ric Grenell will be the “Emissary” we have discussed. Great job Mr President (for all the obvious reasons).”
We have great cause to celebrate this Holiday Season. It will go down in history, and we are here to experience it.
God Bless Everyone
Now the Intelligence Community can only come after President Trump “two” ways to Sunday. Suck on that, Schumer!
SD. I think it is obvious he listens and respects your opinions. Doesn’t mean you will always see a 1 for 1 translation.
Great news!
👏 👏 💃 💃 💃 💃 👏 👏
I would like to see someone get to the bottom of the Federal Government USCIS sending States (Welfare Offices & Obama Care) Federally Verified Citizenship status for illegals who have never applied for Citizenship.
Sundance, so glad you ousted that photo. I often think of the moment when Rick Grenell walked across the street with two other men, carrying that cumbersome briefcase.. I knew there was something very important going on back then and now I’m sure there was. God bless him as emissary. You have been so correct on so many topics. Prayers for you and yours.. keep going.. as we all must!
Prayers forward!
*posted* that photo
By-by Stephanie and Victoria, Nancy,Miss Lindsey, et al…
Masterfully done!
Assigning envoys for foreign policy is a good theoretical development but I would hold the cheers after we have seen the practical play.
I am saying this because so far if you watch interviews with Kellogg about the state of Ukraine its obvious that he manages to be ignorant and incompletely informed even witb lack of State Department support. He seems to have turned on his TV and started to believe and parrot the US own misinformation on Ukraine.
If Kellogg would show up ever at Russia’s table with those views he would be on his way out the room faster than you can press the mute button on big pharma advertisements.
What if President Trump does the unconventionally-unexpected
… for a change-of-pace as is his norm (wink-wink) …
Kellogg’s “Envoy Portfolio” was Ukraine and RUSSIA, leading everyone to think Ukraine and ignore Russia:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/27/president-trump-announces-general-keith-kellogg-as-special-envoy-to-ukraine-and-russia/
• What if he officially sends Kellogg in JANUARY to Ukraine to get their Official Report on the “Trajectory” of (1) Battlefield Losses & Replacements, (2) Economic Sustainability with the “Realities on the Ground” and (3) Ukraine’s realistic Expectation for Resolution-for-Peace, given Russia’s original SMO Objectives (February 2022) and Russia’s current Requirement-to-Consider “Realities on the Ground” (December 2024)?
• What if he unofficially subsequently sends Kellogg to Russia in JANUARY to get exactly the same from Russia, including what Ukraine’s Official Report may have omitted or distorted, and Ukraine’s history of Violations of International Law, Chemical-Biological-Nuclear Treaties and War Crimes of the sort that led the USA to conduct the Nuremberg Trials of the Nazi Forefathers of the Ukrainian Leadership?
• What if the GAP between Ukraine’s and Russia’s take is so wide that he announces in JANUARY that the “Civil War in Ukraine Is NOT OUR FIGHT and we will leave it to the European Union to continue it as THEIR FIGHT, since it is an UNDECLARED WAR and therefore NOT NATO’s”?
… In keeping with Sundance’s recent Post:
“president-trump-responds-to-civil-war-in-syria-this-is-not-our-fight-do-not-get-involved”
=> What if Trump made the role of Envoys to do HIS bidding rather than promulgate THEIR views and agenda?
Oh man!!!!!! Is it possible to overdose on winamins……
”Continuity of government” and “our democracy”. Two sides of the same morally corrupt, repugnant coin.
If they LIE, they must DIE:
“Read this next sentence slowly…. If the Senate confirms a director of an IC silo, then that director is demonstrably going to lie to the office of the President. The Senate only confirms Intelligence Community leadership who are willing to LIE to THE PRESIDENT. This is just a factual reality. If the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) confirms them, they will lie. That is the main role of the SSCI.”
If these departments DO NOT SUPPORT their chief executive and the will of the people, the department or INSTITUTION must be obliterated!
Rick already has his work cutout for him…
Russian Forces Destroy More US Patriot Launchers & Advance Closer To Pokrovsk
by Tyler Durden

Amid the continued rapid advance of Russian forces in Ukraine’s east, and with the Donetsk villages of Vesely Gai and Pushkino (15km south of Pokrovsk) having been captured, Russia is also going after US-made Patriot batteries.
“Russian forces have destroyed four Patriot anti-aircraft missile launchers provided to Ukraine by Western nations,” the Defense Ministry announced Saturday.
The statement said that air force jets along with with drones and artillery groups, “destroyed a combat control vehicle, an AN/MPQ-65 radar station and four launchers of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system made in the US.”
Zelensky has pleaded with the West to hand Ukraine at least 25 Patriot batteries, and some European countries have recently donated theirs to Ukrainian forces.
This isn’t the first time that Russia has taken out Patriots. Back in October the defense ministry said its forces struck “two Patriot launcher stations made in the US” along with a control station and radar set part of the Patriot defensive network.
At that time a Ukrainian member of parliament had revealed that at least one Patriot battery was damaged in the October attack, but Kiev typically doesn’t comment on the extent of damage to its Western-supplied weapons systems.

They are doing the same thing to the fighter jets we sent.
Sorry, I meant jets Nato sent.
No way given the highest level of corruption.
I’ve been fortunate to hear Ric speak to a small gathering and be part of that group.
He’s authentic.
Very nice to see the Emissary template filled out. Most excellent indeed.

This is a great reason Trump put Rubio in as Secretary of State. I was hoping there was a good reason and it wasn’t some kind of concession he made with the US Senate. He is moving his people into the power positions and keeping his political and Bureaucratic adversaries close. This is just like any good CEO does when he gets the baton. I think Grenell is a great appointment. I am becoming more convinced Trump has been working on this plan since he started learning the hard way how the DC Swamp really works. I can’t wait to watch this play out. We may still lose the war, but we are going to see some great battles first.
The Conservative Treehouse is the top of my reading list. Always incisive. The only thing that bothers me in reading anything is misspelled words, like your use of the word judgement, not once but twice. UGH! There is NO “e” after “g”. Ergo, judgment. Love you, Sundance.
Well you sure consider yourself to be the grammar Emissary for the Karen’s.
My Apple dictionary on my computer: judgment | ˈjəjmənt | (also judgement)
Judgement is a British spelling of the word usually spelled in North America as “judgment,” without the “e.” If you’re going to sit in judgement of proper spelling, make sure you’re sitting on the eastern side of the Atlantic.

Jan: Correct spelling of the words, “judgment” and “judgement” depends on the context.
*womyn*
The word under question is spelled both ways, depends on context.
Grrrrr! Is that spelled correctly?
Well…SD must sit in the corner for time out. ..Extreme/S.. ( don’t critique the host)
Both are correct according to the Cambridge Dictionary. In the UK or in the US both spellings are used. ‘Judgement’ is the spelling I have always used.
Sometimes if I look at a word I have just typed, if to me it ‘looks funny’ (meaning looks odd or wrong) I will check the spelling. Usually my ‘looks funny’ test works. ‘Judgement’, passes the test. Judgment does not.
The spelling ‘judgement’ is probably older, as Dr. Samuel Johnson used that spelling in his first real English Dictionary. A prodigious accomplishment started in 1755 (1st Folio.)
A lot of the differences between British English and American English spellings does not mean one is right or one is wrong. It just that a ‘set way’ of spelling words in English was not arrived at until late 18thC, or even into the 1800’s (such as 1820.)
People spelled the words as they sounded to them a lot of the times and that practice was accepted. If you look at old documents you will see some very unusual spellings and at time it was perfectly fine.
Shakespeare famously spelt his own name in several different ways. So as a lot of English settlers came to the U.S. when spelling was flexible, different spellings were used and got accepted that way into the American English.
They are not right or wrong, or superior or inferior… they are just different.
Sometimes I use British English, I was educated in England, sometimes I use U.S. English, if I think it is more appropriate. Sometimes it doesn’t much matter to me they are both correct.
Johnson’s dictionary can be quite amusing to read as he certainly was not politically correct. In fact, quite a biased man and unashamedly so. He was witty and learned, but half-blind, and so amazing he wrote the first English dictionary of significance with candles in an attic type room, with help of course.

Dang, you all made me think of it – now I have to go and rewatch the priceless Blackadder episode about Samuel Johnson’s dictionary – one of the best in the series.
A very raunchy show, but so funny…
What a wonderful Christmas present!
What if President Trump directed Ric Grenell to launch an INTERNATIONAL DOGE Team with Auditors and IGs?
• Setting the Productivity Metrics to cover every Embassy and Consulate and every Overseas Base
• Ranking their Productivity Performance
• Determining their Budget Contributions-to-Productivity
• Auditing every Spending Recipient (NGO and Contractor)
… including their Host Government’s Assessment of their Contribution
• Axing every Non-Productive and Non-Certifiable Budget Line
• Axing every Chain-of-Command with a Failed Audit
• Disqualifying every NGO with a Failed Audit from ALL Future Federal Funding
Etc.
=> Are we HAVING FUN YET?
Yes! Isn’t this the fun we’ve been waiting on for 4 years..🥳🥳
Trump chose wisely this time around, he’s had four years to hone in and observe his picks and what they were saying publicly ,even before they knew he was watching and going to make a historical comeback.
He is sending a message:
“Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way,”
This song brings tears each time; our son insisted it be played at my husband’s funeral as he was a man that did many things from logger, commercial fisherman, realtor, cowboy, miner, designed kitchens and commercial laundromats – not leaving a single stone unturned.
Wasn’t expecting this song this morning, brings such perfect memories and yes, definitely President Trump is also of similar stock.
Rubio got the job of Secretary of State because he can’t be trusted, or he can be trusted to be a war monger…Oh the irony…
Or …. It’s possible Donald Trump already has a handler assigned to Marco Rubio to make sure he is personally loyal to PDJT and tows the Trump line on both foreign policy and economic policy. And then to make an example of Marco Rubio if he ever strays from his assigned MAGA swim lane.
If I didnt know any better, it seems to me that some actual serious people., are reading SD’s articles.
Seems to be the case….. 😉
The Don has his consigliere.
I’ve been waiting for him to be appointed to something. This time around the transition is going completely different. And that’s a good thing.
Bashar Al Assad was an eye surgeon who qualified and trained and practised in the UK. He never wanted to be the leader of Syria but was forced to by his father Hafez, after his older brother, the heir apparent, died in an aircraft accident. He is an Alawite who married a Sunni lady and is head of the Baathist secular party. He has always been non-sectarian.
Obama’s 2013 “redline” speech accused Assad of firing chemical weapons on his own people, which Obama wanted to use as a “duty to protect” excuse to bomb Syria. Obama’s accusations were later proven to be 100% lies in a scientific paper authored by a UN weapons inspector and by Ted Postol, an MIT professor of physics, who proved those chemical weapons were launched by the so-called rebels. It was a CIA false flag. Those rebels were proven by many investigative journalists (especially Vanessa Beeley and also the Grayzone) to be mostly foreign Islamist terrorists supplied and funded by USA, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar. There was nothing civil about the Syrian “civil” war, it was a regime change operation coordinated by the CIA, by recruiting terrorists and based on 100% lies, given the name Operation Timber-Sycamore
Ric Grenell recently posted this review by the WSJ on how ThecBlib – UKs administrative state – took out conservative Liz Truss.

Typo: The Blob.
All this has president. This is the way FDR got around the Republican Congress with his “Kitchen Cabinet” group of advisors. Gotta watch these New Yorkers they are tricky ones!
This is great! I was hoping he would find a place for Grenell. Definitely loyal to Trump.
Trump has established an alternative government..haha…love it and very 1960’s…makes sense as Trump is a baby boomer and we were very into alternatives in the ’60s.
So when Sundance reiterates that the Senate committees, and senate at large, will not approve nominees who will not lie to the president – is he saying that many appointees will ultimately not be confirmed – or – that they will be co-opted by their bureaucratic underlings and forced to lie and undermine him. Again.
Food for thought…….
Incredible moral character…a deviant homosexual…good one.
CURIOUS that 10 hours and 300 comments after Sundance’s post and NONE of us has commented on where President Trump is going with EITHER of Grenell’s assignments covering Venezuela and North Korea…
• Will Grenell be paving the way for Economic Engagement that DISPLACES the Deep State agenda for Military-Political CONFLICT?
• Could North Korea be the FIRST & EASIEST place to resume where President Trump left off in his first term?
-> Could North Korea Engagement WIDEN the door for South Korea to REPLACE their Impeached President with one who can cut a Trump Deal for JOINTLY reducing US Forces (repatriating them for our Deportation of Illegals and Control of North-and-South Borders) and opening a Korean Corridor for North-South Commerce?
• Could Venezuela become a CONCURRENT initiative to RECOGNIZE Maduro’s legitimacy and CONSTRUCT a Win-Win Deal for cancelling sanctions, taking the chokehold off Citgo and resuming imports of their Heavy Crude that would enable our Gulf Coast Refineries to surge Diesel production that the Biden Regime had strangled?
• Could the North Korea and Venezuela Economic Engagement (with a Concurrently-Defused Mideast Conflagration) lead to a “Russian Raproachment” that fosters an end to the Ukrainian Conflict and re-secures Import Contracts for so many of the essential materials we lack, beginning with Uranium for our Nuclear Power Plants?
• Could the Russian Raproachment encourage a “China Reengagement” to cut Win-Win Deals that support ACCELERATED the Infrastructure Development needed to RAPIDLY Re-Industrialize, in return for CONSTRAINING our upcoming Import Tariffs and ABANDONING our suicidal attempts to ignite a Far-East War over Taiwan and RESTORING our commitment to the ONE-CHINA policy?
• Could the Russia-China combination OPEN-by-EARNING a Trust-Based PATHWAY for USA participation in BRICS, with a JOINT solution that eliminates the incentives for De-Dollarization?
Hmmm…
God Bless you, Sundance, for inspiring those new pathways in my mind that give me hope and peace.
I love Ric
Been waiting for this
