Today a set of President Trump nominees will begin the confirmation process with key hearings in the U.S Senate.

Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi (day #1); Secretary of State nominee, Marco Rubio; Secretary of Transportation nominee, Sean Duffy; Central Intelligence Director nominee, John Ratcliffe; Secretary of Energy nominee Chris Wright; and Director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell T. Vought, will all be appearing in their related committees on Capitol Hill.

Bondi starts at 9:30am EST. Rubio, Duffy, Ratcliffe and Wright will be at 10:00am EST. Vought will be at 1:00pm EST.

Due to the simultaneous hearing overlap, we will post individual breakout threads on each nominee along with hearing livestreams. You can pick the ones to watch or switch back and forth.

Bondi, Rubio and Ratcliffe will be interesting to watch; however, each is in alignment with the dark elements of the Deep State and essentially a shoo-in for their respective departments. On the other hand, Russel Vought is the one most likely to face fierce opposition, in part due to the OMB controlling the purse strings of the executive.

The Senate will not like Vought interfering with their spending programs. The business of selling DC policy for personal financial gain requires a compliant OMB to organize the check writing. The Senators will demand strict adherence to their financial decision-making, and if Vought takes an independent executive position, there could be masks dropped and trouble in the confirmation process.

The Wednesday forecast is for a mostly sunny, happy, reach-across-the-aisle kinda day, with a chance of scattered thunderstorms later in the afternoon when Vought approaches the Eastern coastline.

Appearing on the increasingly insufferable former news channel, both Senator Mullin and Senator Hegseth now see an increasingly optimistic future for Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth’s hearing clearly showcased a worn-out playbook of resistance being deployed by the Democrats in the Senate.  Their foot stomping was childish and is increasingly positioning the Democrat Party as irrelevant in the larger picture of U.S politics.  Perhaps we are finally beyond the end of an error.  We can hope.

.

In the larger dynamic of American government, which more people now thankfully see as a grand pantomime, and while Mullin and Cotton are on the right side -at least optically- of the Hegseth nomination, their alignment with a perspective that government provides some larger value in the lives of Americans is still grossly out of place.

The mechanisms, systems and institutions of U.S. government, must be severely unmeshed from defining and influencing permitted activity by the American people.  The bureaucracy must be destroyed, if we are to have any reemergence of liberty.  This is a core issue now visible in the eyes of an awakened majority.

While I am thankful that Markwayne Mullin and Tom Cotton support the removal of the Marxism mindset from the military, that is only one facet of the larger governmental outlook that needs to be confronted.

Shortly after midnight the DOJ released a 134-page volume 1 report [SEE HERE] outlining a political narrative used by the Biden Dept of Justice in their targeting effort of President-elect Donald Trump.

We are reading it along with you in real time and will have more analysis following complete review. In the interim, everyone knows the timing and release of this report is being done as part of a sequential series of steps intended to undermine the administration of incoming President Donald Trump.

The Lawfare approach is now familiar to everyone.  Lawfare is a process of influencing public opinion of a target, through the use of the judicial system.  The report is pure lawfare under the guise of a Special Counsel investigation.

Vice President JD Vance appears on Fox News Sunday to discuss current events and political intents for the Trump-Vance administration.

Starting with a pledge to make sure an efficient FEMA responds to the needs of California fire victims, Vance then moves on to discuss the border objective on day #1, the deportation agenda and the measures the Trump administration will take to shut down the open southern border.

Vance then moves to discussing the economic agenda and onto the objectives of the Trump administration to pardon January 6th detainees.  For those J6 protestors who committed “acts of violence,” there will be no sympathy.  However, for those who are incarcerated simply for walking through the Capitol building, pardons will be considered.  WATCH:

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said in a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that he’s ready to speak with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

(VIA DAILY MAIL) – Greenland’s leader, Múte Egede, has expressed his willingness to engage in negotiations with President-elect Trump – although it won’t be over American potentially gaining control of the country.

Instead, the discussions would focus on the future of the mineral-rich Arctic territory, with a clear emphasis that Greenland’s people have no interest in becoming Americans.

Speaking at a press conference in Denmark on Friday, which holds nominal sovereignty over Greenland, Egede acknowledged the strategic importance of Greenland to the U.S. and said he was open to discussing areas of mutual interest. (more)

Joe Biden was asked yesterday if he would pardon anyone else.  He couched his response, “it depends on some of the language and expectations that Trump broadcasts in the last couple days here as to what he’s going to do,” Biden told reporters at the White House. “There’s still consideration of some folks, but no decision.”

Now, think carefully about that response to the question.  Biden handing out more pardons depends on what Donald Trump says he is going to do.

What exactly is the negotiating factor here?  If Trump says he will hold people accountable for the weaponization of government, then Biden will preemptively pardon them.  However, if President Trump does not say they will be held accountable, then no preemptive action is needed.

No where in that type of thought process is the weaponized targeting and behavior a factor, only whether they will be held accountable for it.  Put another way, the activity is admitted as corrupt, the decision now rests on whether they can avoid accountability for their corruption.

There will be more pardons.  It doesn’t matter what President Trump says or does not say.  Psychologically, they are admitting to the wrongdoing. The issue is now about how to avoid the consequences.  There will be more pardons; they are simply negotiating who gets them.

META CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast to discuss his recent announcement about removing all “fact checkers” from the operation of Facebook and Instagram and replacing the fact-checking system with ‘community notes.’

Within the interview, Zuckerberg outlines examples of the Biden administration contacting the platforms to demand the removal of information the White House deemed against the interests of government.  Zuckerberg talks about the collapse in credibility within the platforms that happened as he lost control of the process and widespread viewpoint censorship became the norm.  WATCH:

The notoriously political Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. That’s it. That’s the sum of motive and intent. To create a narrative.

That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. Few people care about the issues and the entire case is likely to be thrown out on a host of appeal reasonings.

The audio from the court sentencing hearing is below.

Despite my reservations about Mike Waltz, this is the best approach.

During an interview with Breitbart News, incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says the entire National Security Council is going to be removed from position and new staff assigned to the NSC. Every member is expected by the Trump administration to willingly resign at 12:01pm on inauguration day.

This is very much needed because the NSC is a petri dish for political manipulation of intelligence and policy depending on the ideological alignment with the NSC member. We have talked about this issue at length. The various silos of the DC intelligence and policy institutions send and embed ideologues in the NSC to represent their interests. The only way to deal with it correctly is to remove all of them and vet their replacements.

BREITBART NEWS – […] The way the NSC works is the National Security Advisor oversees a team of political appointees from the president who oversee a wide range of what are called “detailees”—people who work at the various agencies and departments across the federal government who are assigned, or detailed, to work at the White House for a period of time on the NSC in a portfolio in which they demonstrate expertise.

These career intelligence officials come from places as wide-ranging as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and report up to the political appointees atop each major portfolio in the NSC.

The NSC has various issue-specific portfolios like counterterrorism and cyber policy as well as regional portfolios focused on things like the western hemisphere or the Middle East or Europe or Asia. The detailees then help coordinate back to the various agencies and departments so the whole federal government executes on the decisions that the president makes.

… “[T]he folks that we’re bringing in are 100 percent aligned with the president’s agenda. Hell, the entire world seems to be aligned with his agenda if you just look at the outreach from world leaders and everybody who wants to come to Mar-a-Lago. So, there’s a little bit of a difference in that everybody was reflexively just against him [the first time] just for the sake of it and the Trump Derangement Syndrome was out of control in 2017.

As if the people in/around the Los Angeles area didn’t have enough to worry about.  Apparently, the entire population of 9.6 million residents was mistakenly told to evacuate their homes around 4pm local time, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn.

The emergency alert was supposed to be for a specific region ‘impacted by the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.‘  However, someone sent the alert to every resident in the greater Los Angeles region, creating massive anxiety and exacerbating an already tense situation.

[SOURCE]

Officials in the region have been getting blasted by residents for their abject incompetence in controlling the fires and keeping residents up to date. The results of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) running amok in local and regional government appointments is having real consequences.
