To say that I am happy with President Trump’s approach toward the use of White House emissaries to conduct official business around the capture mechanisms of the administrative state would be an understatement. I’m positively thrilled to watch this untraditional approach in action.
Are there approaches, strategies and general things I would prefer to see differently? Sure, there are. However, I’m just an audience member without any need to keep gravity maintained, while figuring out ways to satisfy billionaire donors, key interests and strategic partners. On this balancing act, President Trump is doing awesome work.
President Trump is ducking and weaving through some of the deepest Machiavellian constructs, while maintaining forward progress.
To put context to it, these creeps have had four years to strategize how to control Trump and manipulate policy, with their retention of all sorts of government agencies in alignment with the status quo. Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield, while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks. The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.
As we shared in 2024, the use of emissaries outside the govt framework of traditional policy was going to be a key facet in any America First agenda. Steve Witkoff is an example, leading to the clutching of pearls on a scale we have never seen.
As noted, in this not so subtle hit job against him, the State Dept built Witkoff an office, “one of its most historic offices: the high-ceiling, wood-paneled suite where Secretary of State George C. Marshall planned the reconstruction of Europe.” Yet, Witkoff has never used it; instead he prefers a small desk in a rather innocuous office in the White House.
The Wall Street Journal narrative against Witkoff is a little funny.
(WSJ) – […] It is hard to pinpoint a moment in history when businessmen have held such direct sway over matters of war and peace. Since the end of World War II, Washington’s relationship with Moscow was its most carefully calibrated, helmed by spy agencies who knew their rival intimately. Seasoned diplomats rehearsed rigid protocols to prevent misunderstandings between two nuclear powers poised like scorpions in a jar. Today, those structures are virtually absent.
[…] Witkoff has declined multiple offers from the CIA for a briefing on Russia. The State Department assigned a small group of staffers to support Witkoff, but members of that team, and others across the administration, have struggled to get summaries of Witkoff’s foreign meetings.
[…] A White House official said that the decision to appoint Witkoff was Trump’s decision alone. “Suggesting that foreign countries had any input on this is absurd,” the official said. Rubio in a statement said Witkoff is doing an “incredible job” and that he “understands the objectives and gets things done on behalf of the President and the American people.”
[…] Witkoff said he has his own, tight-knit team within the government: “We develop a thesis on how to be successful,” he said. “So I don’t need to travel around with a zillion people.”
[…] In an Oval Office meeting in the first weeks of the administration, Kellogg briefed the president and others on a plan to end the war. “You take Ukraine,” Trump told him. “I’ve got Russia.” Witkoff wasn’t in the room.
Days later, Kellogg got a message *from a colleague on the National Security Council: Witkoff had received security clearance for a Moscow trip.
[*NOTE: I’ll bet a donut that National Security Council person was the chair, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Which emphasizes exactly why CTH said Mike Waltz was the wrong pick for the position.]
[…] Kellogg later learned from a reporter that the Kremlin had complained to the White House about his *daughter’s support for Ukraine, he said.
[NOTE: Unbeknownst to most, Lt General Keith Kellogg’s daughter is Meaghan Mobbs, who is president of the RT Weatherman Foundation. In advance of the first congressional appropriation, and likely with feedback from her father, Lt General Keith Kellogg, Ms Mobbs stood up a Ukraine relief organization which benefits from the Ukraine support money sent by Congress. In essence, Kellogg’s family has a financial stake in continuing the conflict and continuing to receive money from Congress.]
[…] For decades, senior American government officials visiting Russia would be briefed from a book of guidelines known as “Moscow Rules.” The document outlines the myriad ways the country’s security agents would try to surveil, entrap, compromise and recruit American visitors. It had been recently updated to reflect the security services’ increasingly aggressive posture, particularly the unit responsible for tracking Americans, the Department for Counter Intelligence, or DKRO. One important rule, say the officials who helped craft it: “There are no coincidences.”
Ahead of his trip, the CIA offered to brief Witkoff; he declined. Nor was he accompanied by an interpreter: He had been told that Russia’s president wouldn’t allow him to bring another person into the meeting.
A White House official said he participated in multiple briefings before his first trip to Russia, including Trump’s intelligence briefing. The CIA regularly briefs him on other issues like Gaza—but not Russia. (read more)
Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has long said publicly he does not consider America or the American people to be adversaries of Russia. Instead, Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his adversary; he is always clear to draw the distinction.
The Deep State does not like President Trump’s use of emissaries to conduct foreign policy. In fact, they oppose it strongly; they hate it.
That is exactly why this approach is needed, and it is very good to see it being done.
CTH AUGUST 2024 – 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 President 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 power and position. (read more)
The Deep State is apoplectic because Witkoff and Tulsi Gabbard have publicly called them out.
The Deep State hates sunlight, and both of these patriotic truth tellers have doused the Deep State with buckets of sunlight.
I was telling someone that after her speech this weekend SHE is who I trust the most in 2028.
If I were to rank my preferences at this time they would be:
1) Tulsi
2) Witkoff
3) Marco
RDS is no more in the picture. I want someone serious and adverse to bureaucratic drift.
I agree!
Here is the full speech:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/12/21/dni-tulsi-gabbard-delivers-a-bold-succinct-and-important-speech-to-the-tpusa-audience/
Is there a link you can provide for the speech? I missed it. Thanks.
There has been so much talk about Vance or Marco. It made me ponder how Tulsi and others were so easily forgotten. I surely don’t wonder how Desantis was forgotten. He is like the remnants on your shoe.
Marco has, to my knowledge, at least twice said, earlier this year and recently, that if his best friend JD runs for POTUS, which he expects, he would not run.
Then, he added that he loves, really loves his position as SOS and would love to serve another term if JD were POTUS.
Remember both of the things you mention are with the support of President Trump.
We may very well be looking at our first women President….
Whom I would earnestly and enthusiastically support….
Only one woman at a time. lol
lol…good catch..
I wonder if Tulsi uses an office of her own choosing, like Witkoff? You can bet those DS offices are packed full of special recording equipment.
I think President Trump’s use of trusted emissaries is a brilliant strategy.
Old school, it worked for a reason.
It works because all of the manipulation, personal biases and desires, and pure BS is removed from the process and it becomes one consisting of almost direct person to person communication.
The fact that the DS and EU and UK forces are against it is also very apparent. I keep tabs on events using people’s names and places in searches. The more progress that has been made in various negotiations, the more vitriol, hate, and lies are poured onto PDJT’s emissaries by the various groups who do not wish them to be successful.
The current level of attacks on both Witkoff and Jared are off the charts, much of it centered on trying to portray them as Putin’s puppets or strictly in it for personal gain “selling Ukrainians down the river.” To the non-pretending and knowledgeable it is both hilarious for its content and dangerous for how it might set off the zombies.
Yes!
I read the WSJ piece; it was propaganda garbage throughout.
That said, Old School is my preferred term for just the things you state. Person to person, no agenda-driven manipulator groups needed. People act like nothing and no one existed prior to this age of instant everything digital world.
President Trump finds optimal solutions.
In short, the IC, its closer than a brother MIC, and twin first cousins NATO/EU…all the ones gagging for a full blown bloodier war…have to guess what going on, what’s being discussed by President Trump’s emissaries and President Putin and his.
(Any conversations with little Z Man are assumed to be hand delivered to that dangerous family.)
“If your opponent is of choleric temper, irritate him.”
~Sun Tzu…of course
Who is the enemy?
President Trump certainly knows; and so do we all.
Carry on, sir…
Excellent!!
Indeed. Let Trump be Trump. He knows what he’a doing and I trust both his judgement and his motivation being US.😁❤️
ps, I so hope Brian is doing well. Jen couldn’t make it here for the holidays so I’m taking the holidays to her.
He will be himself always, sis…there’s no “letting” about it 😎
(A miracle, yes…and I am praying one for your Jen, dear friend 💕)
😘
President Trump’s goal is to STOP wars and PREVENT wars, not start new wars.
The CIA, State Department, MIC, NSC etc. start wars, profit from wars, they prolong wars not end them.
War disrupts commerce. Businessmen are the perfect choice to prevent war.
Notice where President Trump uses businessmen to negotiate and where he uses traditional foreign policy establishment. This tells us where he wants to settle conflict and where he is OK with conflict:
Russia – Ukraine: businessmenIsrael – Gaza: businessmen China – businessmenVenezuela – policy wonksIran – policy wonksEU, NATO, UN – policy wonks
“Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has long said publicly he does not consider America or the American people to be adversaries of Russia. Instead, Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his adversary; he is always clear to draw the distinction.”
President Trump and President Putin share that reality.
“…when you accept the Intelligence Community will lie to the office of the President to retain their power and position.”
And blame it on the Butler.
The CIA is the enemy of We The People as well. Their entire operation should be terminated with extreme prejudice.
Definitely opposed to our constitution and any sort of subordinate advisory role.
Agreed and all the “ necessary” operations moved to the military. The CIA makes no sense from the start. Only a bloated out of control government needs an unaccountable covert agency. It is too tempting for them to go rogue.
If only the CIA was good at what they did. Since it’s beginning, the OSS bumbled its way through Chinese policy to the current state of the Middle East. Brennan was not a “flaw”, in their eyes he was a feature.
Some of what the OSS did worked very well and was Pro-American and good for the war effort, unfortunately FDR loved Communists and appointed many of them to his administration, including adding people, who were pro Communist to the OSS. Remember his VP Henry Wallace was EXTREMELY pro Communist, that is why he was forced out for Truman, who wasn’t as bad as Wallace.
The sole purpose of the CIA, OSS is to create a boogie man. There has to be disruption somewhere, anywhere. It
needs to received heavy coverage by their stenographers to scare the populace, who demand action. Which was what
was the initial intent. Once the boogie man is established, vast swarms of money come into play to supposedly
eradicate it. Which never happens. The bad guy always re appears, because the cash flow needs to keep going to
the body grinders, body sellers, body poisoners. The ones that continually call out the boogie man threat.
Yes, this actionable formula has proven to be an extremely lucrative business plan. From DC’s deep state actors to big pHarma to big Ag, nothing is off limits when they know they can run the tables and win.
“The Dirty Tricks Department” https://johnlislehistorian.com/dirtytricks
They have been cooking up harebrained ideas and seeding unrest since their inception.
..at least VVP understand it.. and we see his patience( drone attack on strategic bombers and few others “things” since 01/22/25..) if this happen here it would result in WW3….
Thank you for this enlightening analysis.
We do live in interesting times.
Several news outlets reporting President Trump has appointed Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry as special emissary to Greenland.
Someone must have been undercutting his efforts to acquire Greenland.
Blue meanies?
“We All Live in a Yellow Polaris Submarine”
Have you ever noticed that yellow is a favorite color for underwater submersibles?
If Gov. Landry has the resources of the LSU football program, that may be enough to make a cash purchase of Greenland.
Chuckle!
President Trump may want to keep it all upper-class by using Ivy League money.
The Ivy League is full of the only people left who think Communism works. Those are the people pushing the nonsense print by the NY Times and Wall Street Journal.
I will believe all such stories when The President formally announces them. Not until.
You suggest an interesting point: Who is the President’s emissary to we, the People? It’s Donald Trump himself, of course.
certainly not Suzi Q Willes ….
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115760829286615399
I think you can see his Truth Social post without having an account..
Cutting out the deep state especially the CIA is the key to honest discussions with foreign governments to get things done for the good of the American people. Now, is their were only an emissary to Congress.
Sounds as silly as appointing an emissary to the CIA.
I think that the President is defunding the sea I @ , one boat at a time…
“As noted in this not subtle hit job against him, the State Dept built Witkoff an office, “one of its most historic offices: the high-ceiling, wood-paneled suite where Secretary of State George C. Marshall planned the reconstruction of Europe.” Yet, Witkoff has never used it, instead he prefers a small desk in a rather innocuous office in the White House.”
Witkoff did not fall for the ego massage planned by deep state actors. He is apparently a man who can control his ego and thus frustrate deep state attacks against him.
What do you think the odds are that his unused elegant office is bugged beyond belief?
It’s pathetic when those at the highest levels of government have JUSTIFIABLE CAUSE to distrust the intelligence community of their own government because of the corruption they represent.
Trump did well in selecting Witkoff.
I’m prrrrrrretty sure I recall Sundance writing about just such emissaries as this well before President Trump took office.
“What do you think the odds are that his unused elegant office is bugged beyond belief?”
Yep! I even worry about the Whitehouse/Oval Office being bugged!
Yes sir this is why we have the press there all the time and the business is conducted on the golf course or elsewhere.
U.S. Marines were once responsible for sweeping State Department offices. They were very efficient.I imagine they still are.
I have read, I think on CTH, that a function of the US Army Green Beret (Special Forces or SF) is to be a last line of physical defense of The President, should “things go south”. Everything about them, even for a soldier to request to just apply for consideration, was and is carefully monitored by good Americans.
Said to be able to resist even the worst corrupting efforts of Clinton – Obama – Biden. I suppose we could add the two Bushes corruptions, since they are globalist-open-borders.
Do you hear if the SF is still uncompromised?
The example given was that JFK looked to the SF for protection in case the communists attacked DC. Which was a possibility when the Soviets up-armed the Cubans in a big way, with nukes and stuff.
Possible solution to clean out the saboteurs- Accept the reports and findings from the usual suspects. Require them to attach ( sign off) the complete team of players that assembled the data , and when it is found to be fugazi- fire them all and remove all clearances.
WSJ wants it to be 1947 forever.
The Marshall Plan was useful in its time, but that time is long gone.
“If in 10 years, all American troops stationed in Europe for national defense purposes have not been returned to the United States, then this whole project will have failed.”–Real President Dwight David Eisenhower, upon assuming command of NATO in 1951

“Ike’s not a communist, he’s a golfer.”—Russell Kirk
Rest in the Vine: Ike Was Right About Everything First!
Personally, I think Market Garden was Criminal Military Malpractice by both Monty and Ike.
Captured Antwerp intact two weeks before but still urgently needed a port to get supplies. Waited till teo weeks after starting Market Garden to fight to clear the supply route to Antwerp.
Knew 2 weeks before that we were sending 1 parachute division to take Arnhem from 2 panzer divisions. Yet we sent them to die anyways.
And the plan looks like an invitation to get half our forces surrounded and cut off deep in Germany while not supplying the other half still in France. A gift to Hitler. Even the battle of the Bulge didn’t aim so high.
Military Malpractice. Racing the Russians to Berlin. Believing Germany would collapse while it was really preparing to fight desperately for every inch of ground.
Monty proposed it. Ike approved it. But it aligns completely with Churchill’s game of empires he was playing with Stalin and hiding from Roosevelt. But defeat is an orphan and we don’t get the truth even now.
Ike was nowhere near as wise as Patton.
“What do you think the odds are that his unused elegant office is bugged beyond belief?”
What you wrote there was my very first thought upon reading your post.
SD has educated us well to NOT be pretenders.
My thinking exactly
What do you suppose the emissary approach was personally introduced to this administration by the Treehouse founder. Methinks his elation for its success and notoriety is well deserved.
I love Sundance, but do you really think Donald Trump was so unskilled, so naive –esp. after this first term–to have not thought of this on his own?
Yes.
Thank you Sundance, providing hope that,
1. President Trump does have support and 2. Acknowledging his abilities to work within an evil empire.
We thank God.
We thank President Trump and all with the courage to fight Goliath.
It seems President Trump is just getting all the evil flushed up to the surface.✝️🦅🇺🇸
BRILLIANT
The enemy within. Notice how close we have come to being “ruled” by an oligarchy of spooks, the “inside boys and girls” of the Deep State, NOT the representative government of the Constitution.
The Uniparty, corrupted by power and greed, is responsible for all of this.
There is no …”how close we have become to being ‘ruled’ by an oligarchy of spooks.”
We HAVE been (ARE?) ruled by the IC.
Thank God for DJT.
There is a bounty on the head of any individual such as our current president (or even Charlie Kirk) who dares threaten the IC status quo.
God bless and protect our president and those loyal to the MAGA movement. I have zero tolerance for the petty posturing of “conservative” platforms seeking to tarnish or destroy it.
❤️🤍💙
The amount of areas in the US that has their own good old boy system (same thing)
would be jaw dropping, if found out. If you happen to get tuned into an area’s workings,
notice the ones that are very present behind the scenes, but hidden in print, media, TV.
They are the ones running the show, calling the shots. The chances that what they do ,
how they operate benefits the bond issuing industry is sky high. Get rid of the swamp,
state and nationally. Get rid of the bondits: city, township, county, and state.
It would amaze everyone the money that suddenly start appearing out of nowhere,
now that high percentages of it aren’t being grifted and grafted off.
It’s a story as old as humanity, and will unfortunately never change until His Second Coming.
CIA is assh*le
Laughed. But technically it’s as*hoe.
The Chinese stole our advanced Asshoe technology.
I swear, I heard <“Charlie Chan”> speak that when I read that…. maybe it’s just me tho.
“Like 2 scorpions in a jar”….BS… That’s what the warmongers and profiteers (CIA) wants us to think. The people of the US and Russia want peace and prosperity for both countries.
AMEN!!!
Sundance,
Given President Trump’s deliberate good picks I wonder how many of his ‘bad’ picks are also deliberate?
All those requiring congressional approval are iffy. Rubio made it through because of his history in letting the SSCI run amok.
You mean the GOP. The Senator from Maine would like a word.
100% iffy. I’d go as high as 35% for the GOP on board with the voters max.
The last worthwhile Republican the State of Georgia sent to Congress was Paul Coverdale (rip).
His office was actually responsive to the concerns of persons in his district. EVERYONE else since
( at least around Atlanta metro) have been RINO turds. So bad that they don’t even get slammed
in the local or national press ( the hallmark of a truly bought off R).
So the description of how Witkoff operates on behalf of the President to facilitate his agenda and bypass the CIA and the IC is at its essence only a “work-around”. The question remains, how is or will the President dismantle the deep state architecture that is the CIA-Intel Community-State Department- Defense Industrial Complex- bureaucratic state ?? While bypassing and isolating these institutions is good as an operating strategy is good in the short and intermediate term, it does not accomplish the long term strategic goal of destruction of the so called fourth branch of government. Tulsi Gabbard is doing an excellent job. Exposing the IC community, who is acting on this and removing the corrupt people within the organization and dismantling the corrupt organizations themselves such that they no longer exist to poison the federal government with corruption?
There are only 24 hours in a day.
Vance sees the method. The strategy is to get him elected in 28.
I wish I could see evidence to be more confident: Vance, Rubio, Gabbard. I used to feel that way about Stefanik. Miller, there are many currently laying reassuring tracks in the political and economic landscape.
We need so, so much more.
The clock ticks so loudly.
In my daily post, I advance the days in term. The speed of recovery of our country can’t happen fast enough.
God is on the throne. The most powerful thing I can do is make sure I am submitted to him, and that I am leading others to do the same. God will supply what we need or equip us to reflect His glory while we endure the sin that runs rampant in this world.
“God is on the throne. The most powerful thing I can do is make sure I am submitted to him, and that I am leading others to do the same. God will supply what we need or equip us to reflect His glory while we endure the sin that runs rampant in this world.”
Amen, CountryDoc, AMEN!
God will decide in the end how it all turns out, but I don’t think He expects us to sit and wait for Him to do all the work. We have to show Him through prayer and actions that following His will and saving this country is what we want and are willing to fight for. This world is our trial and the road isn’t easy. Heaven awaits those who keep the faith and do the things we are led to do without giving up.
Evil triumphs while good men sit idly by.
Yep. To be clear, I’m not sitting idly by. But like Sundance, I believe our greatest ROI as individual citizens is to make sure we are in line with God and leading others to be.
Everything else right to do is a derivative of this. And if we as a nation or individual are not putting God on the throne, nothing else matters anyway.
I concur with the sentiment, electing someone who will carry on PDJT legacy in 2028 is critical to sustaining the MAGA coalition and eliminating the corrupt bureaucratic institutions. However, kicking the can down the road to 2028 to begin that process is not acceptable. That work must start know and run in parallel to the exposure efforts already started by Tulsi Gabbard, not sequentially. To your specific comment that Vance is the answer, I remain skeptical of Vance as a potential transformative President. He is bought and paid for by the likes of Peter Thiel (Palantier). The strategy is not waiting to elect the “next” as the answer to dismantle the corrupt bureaucratic state. That is not a strategy. The strategy must be linked to dismantling the federal personnel system, eliminating federal positions in DC across multiple agencies, and completely eliminating various bloated agencies within the federal government. Within the IC community specifically that strategy should have as its aim the cleaving of the CIA from the state department, the elimination of the FBI as a federal law enforcement agency and either allocating their responsibility to the federal marshals or creating a new FBI, the strategy must include eliminating the DC Federal District Court as an entity which acts as a legal praetorian guard for democrat corruption. The strategy must be multi-pronged in order to destroy the bureaucratic state.
Agree 100% (but for Vance). No one will MAGA like the President. He’s a once in a century phenomena. I don’t see a long-term effort to cement MAGA as the New GOP, dismantle the DS brick-by-brick, downsize the Federal Government, and restore fiscal sanity. Maybe there is a working group established by the President that we don’t know about.
I’m guessing PDJT’s work on the economy, the Fed, might have something to do with this.
My dad was a building contractor. That gift skipped me, but I was around it enough to know the progression,
how things are done. When they built a small subdivision near me, it took about 7-9 months to build less then
25 homes. Four to five months of that was land clearance, installing curbs, drainage, retention ponds. The homes
themselves flew up, once the framing was in place. And, they are well constructed, large, attractive homes.
Trump is currently in the land clearance phase. Accordingly, look for the progressions from that viewpoint,
and have patience.
Slowly at first, then all at once. Preparation is everything in any endeavor.
Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
We have less than three years to build a replacement or alternative structure to the Deep State/CIA/FBI/WEF takeover our our country and government.
Actually less than three years. They can wait out PDJT’s remaining term.
PDJT has to build a replacement network that is effective AND destroy/neutralize the clandestine network that has been infiltrating us for the last 70 years and prior.
The people in these traitorous organizations need to be exposed, prosecuted, and hanged wherever possible; and those even remotely possibly complicit removed and probably jailed, and exposed so that our children can clearly see the wrong that has been done.
Isaiah 66:8
“Who has heard of such a thing? Who has seen such things? Can a land be born in one day? Or can a nation be brought forth in a moment? As soon as Zion was in labor, she also brought forth her sons.
Yes, Lord!
I don’t have a good answer, but step one is always the same: admit we have a problem. Maybe we’re in the phase where the corruption is exposed, we watch it double down repeatedly until public opinion, at least the half that isn’t of stunted mind, recognizes the nature of the problem. Getting back to a government that serves instead of rules will require targeted firings and multiple rounds of downsizing. I see both of those types of actions in this administration’s track record to date. Pacing the plan with evolving public opinion and winning the inevitable court cases are key.
It appears that PDJT is building a system outside of the established Deep State system. I would imagine that if this new system continues into future MAGA administrations then the old system will wield no power and influence which may result in them being the girl in the corner that no one asks to dance. If they have no information to sell, no influence to sell, and no gravitas to sell then they become stale and unwanted.
Look at how quickly PDJT was able to turn the USA from economic death/laughing stock of the world to $18 Trillion dollars in investments/no one is laughing now in 10 months. HE and his team did that with no help from the established and entrenched politicians and bureaucrats. HE has made them worthless and unwanted.
We would like names of people in the deep state. That is true sunlight. I am not saying they don’t exist, but without names they are just like “sources said.”
Have you not paid attention?
Many have been named here.
Keith Kellogg is a snake; Steve Witkoff is a genius and a very humble man. God bless him, mightily!
….Yes he is …did you notice ..who deal with Russians..not pooliticians..not military persons ..not Ratliff…but businessman on both sides.. making post war deals and decouple Z….
Wall Street Journal – snip <Washington’s relationship with Moscow was its most carefully calibrated, helmed by spy agencies>
That right there says it all! Implying that all else is helmed or directed by spy agencies. CIA mouthpiece says this aloud now why?
Not just the CIA, but other countries’ intelligence agencies. 😏
5 eye’s. gave us russia collusion.
5 Lies or 5 Liars.
This makes perfect sense. Speaking face to face without your words going through the grapevine.
President Trump learned a lot during his first term. The spooks are everywhere in government. We all remember the Vindman attempted coup. Trump knows we are in a color revolution and the CIA is the epicenter.
Who would have guessed back in the mid 70s that Deep Throat was a spook? And the ones writing about his
actions shared much of the same DNA.
And yet Vindman is still around, not yet Court Martialed, tried or in other ways punished.
Foreign relations seem to be best left to the amateurs, not the professional diplomats. Things seem to happen when people do not conduct foreign relations with an eye toward future employment opportunities and personal enrichment.
Professional diplomats are largely people who weren’t popular enough to get elected but need to feel relevant, like Pierre Delicto.
They have different goals from “us”. Minnesota fraud is not an accident, but in line with the goals.
Wide open border, gangs, energy, Mamdani. Not oopsies, but purposeful injuries to the Nation.
It’s scary but necessary to grasp.
Mamdani is so the last five minutes. Those paying attention since 2008 might have noticed the sheer
amount of awful mayors in the big 3 cities. Chicago has been on an absolute run with anyone from
Tiny Dancer on. LA? Name one useful mayor since that time. Dare ya. And New York? Had Rudy,
(yeah!). Everyone since has been useless, globalist, thieves, or complicit. Starting with Bloomberg.
Saw the pattern during Obama. All the huge population centers were gifted with mayors that never
benefitted anyone in the cities that they were over. This was all by design.
I mean if they are actors they should at this point be arrested and if neccessary killed when they resist.
Doesn’t appear Dir Ratcliffe has had much success weeding out the rats in the CIA as of yet.
What about Kushner? He seems to be tagging along with Witkoff –not sure he is trustworthy.
DONE with him, Ivanka, last administration. He’s a conning artist.
Like his daddy.
Well, that would seem to mean that both Witkoff and President Trump trust him to be there. Rubio also seems to trust him.
Do they? How do you know if Rubio trusts him?
Foreign policy and messaging has always been “too many cooks stirring the soup”.
Clear the kitchen and let the chef do his work.
DS is apoplectic? I’m happy. I’m thrilled. The DS can take a flying leap—and save us all money! Id nothing else!
Thanks yet again Sundance – as always you justify our monthly support.
I cracked up when I read this:
“one of its most historic offices: the high-ceiling, wood-paneled suite where Secretary of State George C. Marshall planned the reconstruction of Europe.”
High ceilings!! Wood paneling! An historic office!
Tubby Vindman and the “foreign policy consensus” must be appalled at this uncouth buffoon rejecting the symbols of the status of the office. Not to mention rejecting the “wise counsel” of the foreign policy consensus.
You can almost smell the pipe smoke.
You’ll recall that WSJ sent a “reporter” to Russia to investigate munitions factories, because American readers are so enthralled with the subject. Fox News and WSJ swore he was not a CIA asset, but Putin saw through it in 10 seconds. Maybe less.
VVP …. as former intelligence officer ..smell rats very quickly….funny his German shepherd smell it too and bite not so politely former Bolshevik Ms. German chancellor on visit in his dacha……
Excellent article. Nothing new here since you weave all this in your other articles, but makes the specific point clearly.
I wish we could more effectively communicate to the main masses of US citizens these specific and current ways the deep state is impeding the ability of our president to represent and serve the American people in these critical international matters of peace, safety, and economic well being.
There has to be an active dismantling of the Deep state, the CIA, WEF influence in our national policy.
We have so much more work to do.
I am very happy that Kellogg has been sidelined and returned to producing corn flakes. He was a Deep State neocon tool.
Unrelated, but Kellogg’s Foundation is a Commie Hotbed of Subversion and 12 essential vitamins and minerals.
Toucan play at this game.
“Follow your nose”
Debbie…maybe in his spare time corn flake commercial….yes DS warrior…
Thanks for your efforts, Sundance.
The Deep State, in all of its shapes, sizes, and forms, works to ensure its own continued existence, which includes power, control, and MONEY.
IMO, MONEY is the most important part. The other parts support the flow of money.
Money talks, BS walks.
Yet, remarkably President Trump is dancing through their deep state minefield while keeping dozens of plates spinning on sticks. The use of non-traditional emissaries is really making them angry.
Please! Someone with the skills turn this line into a AI video!! Can’t you just see it in your mind LOL
Make it fit on a tee shirt.
Profit!
Could be our ticket out. 50/50
I’ll have my people contact your people. 😉
Send a trusted personal emissary instead! <grins>
Make sure to have the mines blow up in their faces!
Thank you for mentioning the words, brilliant and bring much happiness…. thinking President Trump loves the challenge and no human is better equipped to get it done.
✝️🦅🇺🇸
Sundance we love the context, so we can understand.
Hubbi and I neglected our country until President Trump confronted Hillary on stage, in front of millions….”you should be in jail”….😂🦅🇺🇸
It seems that businessmen are doing a far better job dealing with relationships and politics, than politicians have ever done.
“…the State Dept built Witkoff an office, “one of its most historic offices: the high-ceiling, wood-paneled suite where Secretary of State George C. Marshall planned the reconstruction of Europe.”
This was the IC’s first attempt to isolate the office of the president hoping to play on Witkoff’s vanity.
Witkoff would have been confined to room that likely had all of the latest spy gadgets to monitor his and the Presidents conversations and actions. Only to frame and leak those conversations and actions to throw sand into the gears.
It was brilliant that he took a small desk in a rather innocuous office in the White House. That prevents spying and he can walk into the oval office on an as needed basis.
FDR’s Russian Emissary, Commie
Jake SullivanHarry HopkinsFunny how Democrats cozied up to the Russian Communists. President Reagan had to oppose both of them to free Russia from Soviet Communism.
But now that Pres. Putin refused to turn over Russia to Globalist Tyrants, they’re all butch Russia Hawks all of the $udden.
But – kindly notice that the “Grand USSR Social Experiment” failed, and was eventually abandoned by those who had organized it.
From Breitbart seems to fit with the discussion?
Trump removes nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial positions
21 Dec 2025155
The Trump administration is recalling nearly 30 career diplomats from ambassadorial and other senior embassy posts as it moves to reshape the U.S. diplomatic posture abroad with personnel deemed fully supportive of President Donald Trump’s “America First” priorities
WHERE ARE MY PEARLS!!!???
It’s a start.
The longest journey begins with the first step.
Ambassadors/Emissaries are supposed to be the direct representative of the King/President/Head of State. The words spoken by the Ambassador are supposed to reflect, exactly, the words/opinion/request of the President. Words spoken to the Ambassador/Emissary are expected to be repeated to the President verbatim. State is angry because it doesn’t get to modify the message in either direction. Go pound sand.
This works so well in part because Marco Rubio is fully on board.
Yes, probably shows well on Rubio that he isn’t threatened by someone getting on his “turf”. Reflects very well on his character.
His turf is immense, National Security Advisor and Sec State. That said, I agree, he is a team player (and team builder). And who would have thought after the 2016 primary. Rubio has class in spades. A future president.
Great take Sundance…
As always of course.
Merry Christmas Sundance 🙌🏼
And may God continue to bless you and yours.
2026 is gonna get ugly but…
We Got This 😉
The Deep State overthrew the American People and President Trump in 2020 to obtain this Dirty Little War.
Therefore, Russia!Russia!Russia! was not just a political op, but an integral part of their War Pig Coup against the People and their president.
Another important thing to remember about these people is that they – like Trump himself – have spent a lifetime in the high-stakes business of massive business negotiations. (Sometimes, alongside “businessman Trump.”) Sometimes, billion-dollar international projects, all privately financed. If you do that for a living, then you know how to do it – far better than the hapless government “lackeys” who are supposed to be “advising” you. People who’ve never worked an honest day in their entire lives. People who “drink the water” until they choke on it.
When you have that kind of experience, you know who to pay attention to, and who to avoid.
Trump’s integrity, honesty, and deep business experience are what makes him distinctive as a President. The only other “millionaire businessman” we have had in recent history was Carter, and his industry was agriculture – completely different in its strategy and parameters.
These self-important “government officials” will do everything in their power to overturn Trump, because they see how he’s succeeding, and that’s a threat to them. But, they will never stop to think about learning from him . . . no, that will never cross their minds.
Now if he only had a strategy for the DOJ.
None of the good PT has done to date will matter if the DS conspiracy traitors who tried to take down a sitting President and our government while stealing massively from the American taxpayer are not charged and convicted of their many many crimes.
PT has to know this so I still hold out hope he will wake up and dump Pam, Kash and Susie before it is too late.
Seasoned diplomats rehearsed rigid protocols to prevent misunderstandings between two nuclear powers poised like scorpions in a jar.
So-called “seasoned diplomats” got us into this mess in the first place.
People like Putin look at these “seasoned diplomats” and rightly say, “I don’t trust you.”
Would you trust Donald Trump? Yes. And that’s a very big reason why he became “so damned rich.” Because you knew that the money you had placed in his hands was in good hands, and he wasn’t going to screw you. That’s rare.
Likewise in international diplomacy. The principles are very much the same. Donald even wrote good(!) books about it. About four years from now, I hope he writes another one. He will have a lot to tell. And, to teach.
I’m thinking the UniParty in general and Democrats in particilar detest Tulsi almost as much for switching sides as they do for what she’s actually accomplishing.
“For decades, senior American government officials visiting Russia would be briefed from a book of guidelines known as “Moscow Rules.” The document outlines the myriad ways the country’s security agents would try to surveil, entrap, compromise and recruit American visitors.“
As if the CIA hasn’t been using the same techniques against Trump’s people.
Such a book of guidelines could just as easily be called the “Swamp Rules.”
And every other nation would have its own “USA Rules.” Obviously. Perhaps a much thicker volume.
And the result of such “books” is the same – to teach you not to trust the people you are speaking with. And, if they had read their version of the same book, no wonder nothing ever got done.
Such a book of guidelines could just as easily be called the “Swamp Rules.”
And, I daresay that every nation has its own “Swamp.”
The love of money is the root of all Evil.
“During a press briefing on Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was asked about the coordination of US Special Envoys.“
One thing I will say about Rubio: He speaks plainly, sometimes in fluent Spanish, sometimes with a sly sense of humor, and sometimes with a poker face. And, I believe him. So should everybody else. Exactly what we need in a Secretary of State.
This man will be president one day.
I have a correction for the WSJ:
Since Franklin Roosevelt’s death, Washington was never going to allow Presidents to use uncontrolled emissaries from the business world again.
Sundance, this practice isn’t a new invention. It has a long pedigree.
Even from before the Deep State created the CIA and the 4th Branch of Government. Presidents refused Deep State manipulation.
President Trump needs to get the NON-VIOLENT MUSLIM PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES to stop the Jihadist around the world!!
Show the world you want to be part of free societies!
Shutdown these Jihadist terrorist organizations!!
The individuals that make up the “Deep State” should have graver things on their minds….
Like, what will happen if the current state of affairs doesn’t produce their demise….
They best hope the current justice system gets to them first….
NO MERCY!
“Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin has long said publicly he does not consider America or the American people to be adversaries of Russia. Instead, Vladimir Putin views the CIA as his adversary; he is always clear to draw the distinction.” – Sundance
I agree with Putin the CIA is my adversary as well! The CIA isn’t America First it’s deep state first! JMO
