CTH said in November 2024, I doubt he could succeed. I said in December 2024, he would be the first to get fired. I have said over the past several weeks it was obvious Mike Waltz was no longer in a position of National Security influence, and that President Trump had an NSA “in name only.”
Today, Trump fired National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and his deputy, Alex Wong….
VIA CBS – National security adviser Mike Waltz and his deputy, Alex Wong, will be leaving their posts in the Trump White House, according to multiple sources familiar with their departure.
[…] One source familiar with the situation at the National Security Council said the president thinks sufficient time has passed since the Signal incident that Waltz and Wong’s departures can be framed as part of a reorganization. The president has been hesitant to oust Waltz over the perception that doing so could be seen as bending to outside pressure.
Wong served in the first Trump administration as deputy special representative for North Korea and also as deputy assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs at the State Department. In announcing his appointment, Mr. Trump said that Wong helped negotiate his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. (more)
I’m not going to repeat all the issues that made this outcome transparently predictable from the first day of then President-elect Trump’s announcement. You can read the background HERE and HERE and HERE.
Mike Waltz held a completely different worldview on the Intelligence Community. Like many others, heck, almost all others, Mike Waltz believes the IC system is inherently good, just under the control of bad actors. There are volumes of direct and specific evidence that this is not the correct perspective. The IC system is corrupt by design, the mandates and interpreted policies that formulate the mission statements of the bureaucrats within it are the problem, not just the corrupt officials carrying out the mission.
It is almost impossible to understand the scale of the corruption within the IC from a position inside the silos under the control of the IC, the “six ways to Sunday” group. It is only when you exit those silos and engage with the world that is not under the control of the IC that you fully grasp just how fraudulent the constructs are. (more)
“I suspect Waltz will be the first T-47 exit.” ~ 2024 Prediction
Look up Waltz’s wife, Julia Nesheiwat, the sister of Surgeon General nominee Janette Nesheiwat. Trace the background, and you likely end up looking at Susie Wiles being the person who recommended Mike Waltz for the National Security Advisor position.
Julia, who -like all other people who work in DC silos- has never taken a married name. Julia Nesheiwat was born in Carmel, New York, in 1975 to Jordanian Christian immigrants and raised in Umatilla, Florida. She has a BA from Stetson University, an MA from Georgetown, and a PhD from Tokyo Tech.
Julia Nesheiwat became a military intelligence officer. She received the Bronze Star Medal during Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq. She departed the military as captain. Julia Nesheiwat served in several U.S. administrations. Under George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, she held senior national security and economic policy positions. Her most notable role was as Trump’s 10th Homeland Security Advisor from 2020 to 2021. Her Bush administration posts included State Department seniority and Office of the Director of National Intelligence Policy Chief.
Suffice to say their bedroom conversations are likely Intel Community shop talk.
While it’s interesting that Congressman Mike Waltz was selected to be President Trump’s National Security Advisor, it’s actually Julia Nesheiwat that carries the curriculum vitae that seemingly qualifies her for the job.
According to Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, she was “asked by a mutual friend” to travel to New York and meet with candidate Trump in “late December 2015.” That timeline would be post-Fox Debate (Megyn Kelly attempted hit – Aug ’15) when President Trump was leading every republican primary poll and became the enemy of the professional Republican establishment.
I’m tired of playing these games.
Find the “mutual friend” who organized the December 2015 meeting between Trump and Wiles, and we likely find the person who is in control of all these insufferable conflictions within the Trump administration.
I’m glad Waltz is gone, and perhaps now a solid NSA can be selected (Trump has never had one). The biggest challenge was always going to be a confrontation with the Intelligence Community. Everything circles around that issue.
Warmest best and don’t forget to live your best life,
Sundance


There’s an endless supply of really strange people in DC.
Strange and/or, as the FIBs say, “less than forthright”.
Strange? How about self serving, evil and corrupt.
A pack of freaks
Not many of us here will be surprised about this.
Waltz was the only one during yesterday’s cabinet meeting who was lackluster and subdued – now we know why.
He was waiting for the axe to fall..
My bet is he’d already received it.
So what does this say about Suzie?
I sure hope this poor advice and judgement does not translate over to Barbie & Ken too.
Susie either made a mistake or was up to something not so good. We all make mistakes. That said, Susie should have used up quite a lot of goodwill.
This kind of thing is why I like manufacturing……. you are either good day after day after day or you fail. The quicker a problem is fixed, the less damage occurs. Sundance connected the dots a long time ago. It did not take long at all for those two to crash and burn. The damage we do not know about is probably much worse than what we do know about.
Who do you think built the concentric walls to keep Sundance away from PDJT?
Mean Girls Club.
When you dig into it, everybody in DC has “connections”….
Servants of the Antichrist
You nailed it Sundance.
Soon, we will know the rest of the story.
The “Sundance Super-Nailer 9000” is being lubed and loaded as we speak !
Once again demonstrating your amazing prescience, Sundance.
Thank you for all you do.
I nominate Sundance to be the Next NSA.
Excellent work all the way around on this one Sundance! Now you have me really curious who this mutual friend may be?
I hope that we find out soon!
Kudos to Sundance again.
Maybe some of those insufferable doubters on X will wake up.
CTH really sees the world as it is – not through rose-colored glasses 🤓
Or rino 🦏 colored glasses, either.
On deck: Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Not just Sundance, or commenters here,..but a lot of prominent MAGA people ouutside the admin have formed a chorus of contempt for Bondi, Patel, etc.
So, they may be “next up” unless PDJT is actually satisfied with their performance so far.
Sundancestradamus lightning strike! Looking forward to The President confirming it. Until then I’m enjoying my popcorn.
Here’s one rumor…
“New blood includes pro-MAGA ret. Army Col. Derek Harvey who will be named sr. director for intel…developing…”
Cont….
Who is Harvey?

Maybe it’s time for our wonderful and knowledgeable host to try to have a meeting with DJT and make some suggestions. Otherwise missteps will continue to be made.
Pray and help others
a rare picture of sundance in an elevator:
Send that to Patience, please.
Her calendar will be complete!
lol, all right maquis ♥️
Is that Rush’s lovable little fuzz ball!?
ball of knowledge… deborah ♥️
Yea Bannon was celebrating Derek coming into NSC last week before most people were aware, but Bannon did not say he would be leading it.
How do we start a movement to get Sundance into PT’s inner advisory circle?
So much good he could share with PT.
Perhaps he already has an “ear”….
Sundance cant do this from inside the whitehouse. There must be distance from the seat of power and the IC jackals circling it.
This. I recall something of Sundance receiving a subpoena to appear before a congressional committee at one point. Thinking it was the farce that was the J6 committee.
He’s on somebody’s radar in one of those IC circles.
We all are lol. They are watching us here discuss the current events daily. Say hi everyone!
Hi Derps!
😇
Road reports…
Waltz attended the televised cabinet meeting yesterday and spoke on camera when his turn came up.
Today he’s fired.
Waltz speaks at 27:50 from yesterday’s meeting.
Thanks for queing this up. His 2 minute ‘presentation’ was notable for…really nothing. His remarks were a simple, condensed recitation of where we are 100 days into this administration.
I recall watching his interview with Laura Ingram the day following the Signal blowup – she kept asking him how he was linked to the Atlantic guy and he continued to evade. He tried to pass it off as a mere ‘you know how these things can happen’ kind of excuse (which Laura gamely accepted), and he continued to emphasize he didn’t know the Atlantic guy: “I couldn’t pick him out of a line-up!” But within a couple of days the pic emerged where he was standing right next to the fellow. So he was lying. I might be inaccurate on this, but iirc, the Atlantic guy outed the fact they knew each other. Bottom line: untrustworthy, willing to lie for self preservation, careless or far worse.
Very interesting to watch Waltz and Wiles during Waltz talking and after and during Ratcliff talking. A body language expert analysis would be really cool here. I noticed Wiles head down taking notes the whole time Waltz spoke. Wiles head then pops back up when Ratcliff speaks and she seems to avoid eye contact with Waltz. Waltz seems to be glancing at OMB director, then toward Wiles when her head pops back up, then over to Ratcliff and back again like he’s looking for assurance that he did a good job.
Thank you for posting this. Waltz’s little speech was nothing. Very outclassed by the others. If Susan Wiles was behind this, she should be ashamed.
RFK, JR. is a heavy weight. Great.
But to my ears, Marco Rubio was the most outstanding. Wow. If he continues at this rate, he will be the nominee for President in 2028.
I think the best pick for this position would be someone whom the Intel Community previously targeted. That way, they know going into it exactly what they are up against.
.
Gen. Flynn?
My thoughts as well.
Flynn lied.
And, then he doubled down.
Flynn would be epic.
In like Flynn
It may be time to bring in Devin Nunes.
Yes, Nunes. I thought he would have been a good pick for VP, but apparently he was not on the list.
This lynchpin between Wiles and President Trump is sand in the MAGA machine.
Who is on the short list to replace?
Grenell? Nunes? Flynn?!?
Witkoff? Link below to an X post
Hmm.
Robert O’Brien? Bannon said this week we had a deep bench with O’Brien and Grinell.
Whitkoff has been mentioned in several posts and articles.
One report suggested Witkoff has already let his good friend know that he is not interested in the position.
😓
Anybody Susie Wiles thinks should be it, ITS NOT. Trump should go with his gut instinct and select someone from outside with a spine and balls of steel.
Deputy Assistant to the President Sebastian Gorka is ready to roll.
Ukraine-Uber-Alles Gorka? I’ll just bet he is.
Well we just signed the mineral deal with Ukraine so it looks like we’re in for the long haul in defending their interests and ours.
The worst enemy is the enemy within…RINOs
NO MERCY!
Shake out may extend beyond Wong, into the Natl. Security Council, as word is the WH is unhappy with them.
Well, they’re all plants! Like Alex Vindman.
Trump needs DOGE-like “nobodies” who are aggressive, smart, studious, and indefatigable.
I like the statement President Trump made in the interview with the ABC News hack: “I don’t trust — I don’t trust a lot of people.”
That includes Ms. Wiles, and she knows it.
President Trump is orders of magnitude smarter, more perceptive and more experienced than all the Deep State/Wash, DC/GOPe/D’s/CIA/NSA and every other alphabet agency or group.
Hegseth is next, especially with his consideration of Buria, who is not considered *pure enough*.
Sundance was right……again!👏
Will be interesting to see who
his replacement will be.🤔
And wondering when President Trump
will be kicking Kellogg to the curb.
Kellogg may be just a Bolton-tool
That’s how I’ve seen it.
NSA Flynn, anyone? How about Erik Prince?
Flynn got suckered by the FBI. Go back and read the notes from McCabe and others. Flynn walked right into their arms and got shivved within a month.
We can do better.
Flynn suckered PDJT with his Turkey gig too.
Prince would be an interesting pick.
Married into the DeVos family, right?
His sister is Betsy DeVos.
Prince would never get confirmed due to old Blackwater “activity” and other ventures. No, Betsy Prince DeVos married into the DeVos family, not Erik. Believe he’s been tied to many projects in foreign countries which may be problematic. Extremely smart guy when it comes to war, weapons and strategy…have listened to a few of his interviews.
I get the impression there is “baggage” with Gen Flynn…seems like he would’ve been a sound choice in PDJT administration. And perhaps he knows too much and is advising from the shadows.
I concider it a partial setback due to the press wailing. On the other hand, two less corrupt persons in the power structure for the win.
For the Wiles endorsement maybe likely Roger Stone recommended her as they were both in Reagans 1980 campaign. Stone was an advisor and Wiles was a scheduler. IIRC Stone left the Trump campaign August 2015ish so he probably put forth Wiles along with Manafort and others as options. When did Lewandowski arrive?
Trump would know the ‘mutual friend.’ And ‘the friend’ would have organized the meeting. So we’re back to, why does he put up with this?
Enter Susie Wiles:
You gotta be kidding me.
Please, please, please
— our president needs to have a DOGE team for vetting staff.
It isn’t merely USAID and 💰.
Our president needs a hardcore MAGA team to weed out the
🐍🐍🐍!
Loomer!
I like how you think, TDS!
Sundance!
Thrilled to see him go. The signal debacle was a bridge too far. Too many knives in DC out for PDJT without a squishy swamp denizen like Waltz and his reporter pals.
Vaya con dios.
When you are a RINO and you get a second chance do not FA. You will FO.
Just trying to determine Susie Wile’s circle.
President Trump might be the only one who knows who that “mutual friend” was in 2015.
Susie Wiles divorced during President Trump’s first term.
She was married to Lanny Wiles.
According to his Linked-In page, Lanny Wiles works as a government affairs consultant as principal at Wiles Consulting LLC, based in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
Among other things, the Linked-In page mentions his work on John McCain’s campaigns for president in 2000 and 2008. Lanny Wiles graduated from Wilkes Central High School and North Carolina State University.

“The position of National Security Advisor was established in 1953 when Robert Cutler became the first to hold the role under President Dwight D. Eisenhower.”
Has US national security / foreign policy improved since then?
Maybe we don’t need a national security advisor. We have a Secretary of State and a Secretary of Defense.
Who is this “we” you speak of?
Team Tav?
Laura Loomer keeps showing again and again people being put forth for key posts have no business even being considered. Horrible track records. PT needs her to vet his staff. If she can do it so well why besides the obvious can’t others. Corruption and political control my guess to insert sleepers and control agents.
Agree. This is Term Two. We deserve better.
Time for Bondi to go.
my money is on Bondi not making EOY’25. There should be a betting pool for this somewhere.
W al should be looking at Polymarket.

Whether he deserved to be fired or not, the Media thinks they got their “second” scalp and they smell blood in the water. This is just the beginning. Their first scalp: Elon Musk(I know 130 days, but that’s BS!).
The attacks, slander, and false stories on Pete Hegseth have been relentless. Yesterday, he sat next to his Commander in Chief at the cabinet meeting, with verbal support from President Trump who acknowledged that he could see what was going on. And probably knows who is behind them.
The evil Eye of Sauron will now engage in a death stare.
His next choice for NSC is important.
The entering argument for my thoughts on an NSC position description:
Someone with Sundance’s analytical skills, demonstrated understanding of the deep state silo mess, solid national security competencies, and a stout heart to deal with the IC and other threats outside the US, a touch of righteous anger, and absolute loyalty to the Constitution and 47 .
…and the senior staff.
“No need for a replacement.”
DOGE
In God We Trust
{All others pay cash}
Trust God
Fear not
Sundance, whose next?
I recommend my nephew, Col. Heath Niemi.
Re Susie Wiles…
Here is a link to a short bio of Susie Wiles
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/04/26/susie-wiles-trump-desantis-profile-00149654
Could be the source for the above snippet.
The Most Powerful Lobbyist in Trump’s Washington – POLITICO Magazine
2018 article ..Brian Ballard.
Talked about how he “dispatched “ Wiles to meet with
President Trump in 2015.
A LOT of info on Ballard in article.
And a LOT of it sets off bells 🛎️ and whistles!😳😳
There’s a Vanity Fair story at the Sundance Twit above, same story, different source.
Sundance is digging.
Soon, we stop playing their game.
and now the “insider leaks” and Trump-trashing will begin (for a large fee of course). Just like letting John Bolton inside the WH during Trump I. WTF was Trump thinking Bolton was gonna do with that sort of access? Really dumb.
We now know VSG was simply using Bolton as a psyop negotiation bull in a china shop tool.
I think it’s a toss up between Don Jr and Ivanka has to which one of the Trump children gives him worse advice but I do find it interesting that Eric is the one that he put in charge of his business!
Don Jr is white trash and Ivanka is a liberal.
Don Jr.’s behavior has been “trashy” whether he’ll grow out of this stage is anybody’s guess. As a parent, we are forever hopeful. But Ivanka is a liberal. The verdict’s back on that one.
Tom Cotton wanted the job that Mike Waltz got.
Alex Wong worked for Tom Cotton. It was speculated that Wong was a plant to derail Waltz.
Signalgate.
Let’s see who replaces Mike Waltz.
Something to keep an eye on.
More political incest.
The scuttlebutt I have been keeping up with indicated that Cotton has been angling for Secretary of Defense.
In recent times he kept popping up weekly on multiple Sunday Talking Shops. Haven’t seen him in a while.
His sheep’s clothing is too transparent.
Tom Cotton? If he’s the pick then that’s a tell that the President has lost control of his staff.
Well if he were to pick Cotton he could axe him whenever he wanted and that would remove another neocon from the senate and then politics all together!
I see your point. He’s from Arkansas, too, so Gov. Huckabee would get to pick his successor. Maybe we would get a red-blooded MAGA senator at last.
My reply to you has gone for scrutiny…
In short, the impression I had was Cotton was angling for Hegseth’s job.
Early in this administartion he was popping up like a Jack in the box on multiple weekly Sunday media talking shops…like clockwork.
As if he were interviewing for the job. After Hegseth was announced for his postion, suddenly he disappeared.
All has been quiet from his corner since.
Ad rem…thats two posts of mine which have disappeared….help please 🙏🏻
I’m missing one too.
I checked to see if inadvertently I used a word which might flag my comment…couldn’t see one. We aren’t the only ones, Eagle, per the first page of the PT this morning.
See my note above. I reposted both your comments – but if they still don’t show, that means they were deleted along with someone’s comment who was deleted.
I’ve had comments disappear with respect to answers to other posts, which I figured out at the time was the reason. Thank you. You are a guiding star 😊👍🏻
Sorry….found nothing of yours in the bin. 🙁
They’re now posted. I found both of them in the bin Betsy….no idea how or why they were there. 🙁
Bet got binned!
Sounds like a ballad in the making!
Hahahahaha!!!! The kiss of death!!😂
Or a badge of honour…
I’m still debating 🤔
Oh noes!!!!! Not BJ… We need our daily BJ…
Ad rem still rocks!!!!
Boy does she EVER, sis!!! 😘
I couldn’t figure it out either, especially as my desperate cry for assistance posted no problem…..gremlins😎
Another rumor…
“BREAKING: Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff is leading contender to replace Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor.”
Cont…
Excuse me, but what has Witkoff accomplished so far??
well, so far Witkoff has not been a leaking leaker who leaks
for self-aggrandizement and profit.
that’s practically the gold standard of qualifications!
He doesn’t have to leak. Russia is more aggressive than before and our “third” meeting with Iran smells like more delay while they continue to run their centrifuges.
this is a friendly acknowledgment of your comment,
with which i do not agree, and therefore cannot “like”,
but i appreciate your willingness to engage
and express your opinion in a civil way.
hope your approach is emulated more!😁
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Maybe what he has accomplished and is trying to accomplish does not need to be broadcast right now.
And why would that make him a “leading contender” for National Security Advisor?? He is a lawyer and businessman with no diplomatic or national security experience. Just asking.
He really upsets the Democrat side of the Israeli lobby but he does have a little Qatar problem.
Good, now pull the sister-in-law’s SG nomination while you’re at it.
Susie Wiles, just like Kellyann Conway in 2016, might be very good as a campaign manager. But, as a member of the President’s inner circle, and advisor on personnel decisions, she is compromised and dangerous!
That’s why she took the job and was very good at it.
Worried about Pres Trump , so much pressure!
I suppose there can come a time when the barn is so infested with rats, with rats on every level, with holes and nests and runways and food caches and droppings new and ancient literally everywhere, that it ceases to be a barn usable for any purpose other than housing a rat city, and the only way to get rid of the rats is to burn the whole darned thing to the ground and rebuild from scratch. All the legacy stalls and storage for animals that died 30 years ago and will never be replaced aren’t really needed anymore anyway. And yes, by “rats” I mean the ghosts in the machine.
OK. You’ve got me. Burn it down.
YES!!!!!!
New sheet of PAPER!
NO MERCY!
The interview with Susie Wiles and Lara Trump (linked) made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Sorry Susie…not too sure about you and your loyalties. Jury is still out…
lets pray Trump does not put a bondi facetime stonewall talk a lot but little accomplished type in their place.🤨
