Senator Thom Tillis appears to have been granted a larger slice of the lobbyist money from Thune and McConnell because he certainly is taking up a position next to Joni Ernst in strategic opposition to President Donald Trump.

The level of passive aggressive threat-speak within Tillis’ very carefully selected wording is quite concerning.  “President Trump enjoyed a great deal of Republican support in his first term,” Tillis notes.  “But if people want to play the outside [pressure] game, they run a lot of risk,” he continues. “Four votes is all it’s going to take to kill a nomination here, so they should take pause,” Tillis reminds everyone.

Senator Tillis from North Carolina represents the aloof mindset of the Senate at large, and the detached mindset of the Republicans in the senate specifically.

The republicans in North Carolina in 2024 are highlighting just how similar they are to the republicans in Georgia, circa 2020.

Senator Adam Schiff, a DC swamp creature of incredible corruption and manipulative intent, appears with ABC George Stephanopoulos who just agreed to settle a lawsuit by paying Donald Trump $15 million, and together they commiserate about the best way for the Deep State and media to align in resistance to President Trump.

While it can be annoying to watch the professional gaslighting of Adam Schiff, it is also possible to see what angles he will take in his next attack vector simply by listening to where his priorities are focused.  As the conversation moves to DNI nominee Tulsi Gabbard (03:05), you see the gaze of Schiff intensify in preparation to defend the Intelligence Community.  WATCH:

.

Schiff is very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard being in the same office space as the “six ways from Sunday” group. Very concerned.

The discussion continues around the subject of Joe Biden issuing preemptive pardons to politicians and government officials who previously used the power of their office/position to target President Donald Trump.

With the overwhelming support of the American public with him, President Trump now enters office having won against all of the Deep State actors, DC politicians and ideological bureaucrats inside the agencies. Joe Biden is considering preemptive pardons for their behavior in order to protect them from retaliation by President Trump.

In this segment, Bernie Sanders is apoplectic at the possibility that President Trump might seek to investigate the people who investigated and targeted him. “You do not arrest elected officials who disagree with you,” Senator Sanders decries; seemingly oblivious to the mugshot of President Donald Trump who was an elected official arrested for opposing the Obama/Biden/Clinton regime.

Devin Nunes appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo today to discuss Kash Patel as the possible FBI Director and the new role for himself just outlined by President Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}

Devin Nunes will be chairman of the President’s Advisory Board on Intelligence, and he describes his role as recognizing, researching and filtering out the political intelligence products.  Exactly as we suspected. WATCH: 

.

Nunes noted some declassification of prior evidence will be considered and reviewed.

♦ Intel Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson, former counsel to DOJ-NSD Head Mary McCord during the construct of the Carter Page FISA application, testified to a closed session of the House impeachment committee about the CIA whistleblower, the connection to Alexander Vindman and the construct of why Atkinson changed the rules of the CIA to permit anonymous whistleblowers.

That transcript of Atkinson’s testimony was sealed and classified by Adam Schiff. At the time of his testimony, Mary McCord was working for the House impeachment committee.

Start by locating and releasing that transcript. START THERE! It’s a great first document to release.

There are various soundbites, clickbait headlines, column inches and video streams filled with those on the political left waxing philosophically about the threat President Trump represents to “institutional norms” in his second term.

You know exactly the reason why.  It is not a surprise to see media and bureaucratic defenders of the FBI, DOJ and Intelligence Community throwing out wild accusations and fears of what President Trump and his cabinet might do.

For the sake of this outline, let us quickly revisit a key inflection point when these “institutions” were given power over We The People.

During the rushed debate over the Patriot Act, was when we first heard political officials talking about the importance of “continuity of government.”

Many of us recognized what these DC voices were describing was a construct of a post-911 government that would exist and maintain itself without the elected representatives of WeThe People.

The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question:

How can a constitutional republic function without elected officials in control of it?

That question is at the heart of our current situation.

That question is at the epicenter of this “new American democracy” that no one seems to understand.

The simple answer is it cannot.

We have been fighting this three-headed IC monster (DHS, DNI, DOJ-NSD) ever since.

President Trump pokes Jim Cramer a little bit in the middle of this interview as questions are asked about predictable investments and the stock market.   After signing the guest registry at the NYSE, CNBC pundit Jim Cramer gets the opportunity to interview President Trump about the economic and banking policy to be expected in the second term.

Those who follow the specific outcomes of MAGAnomic policy are very optimistic about the future.  The economic forecast for stockholders, banks and even cryptocurrency balance sheets are going to be very strong for the next several years.  It is only through an intense growth period that the USA can expand the economy enough to begin reducing the deficit and getting out of the debt spiral.  WATCH: 

.

Nice to see JD Vance in the picture.  If MAGAnomics is going to survive as policy beyond Trump, it is going to take JD Vance to believe in it and reject all the other voices in his ear.   Donald J Trump investing time, a lot of time, in JD Vance is an investment in our future.

The Office of the Inspector General for the DOJ (DOJ-OIG) has outlined an 88-page report on events around the January 6th, 2021, DC protest. The report is AVAILABLE HERE.

FBI Director Chris Wray announced his decision to resign from office one day before the Inspector General report was released. The report shows that 26 FBI Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) were used officially and unofficially during the J6 events. Four entered the Capitol building, another 13 entered the restricted area around the building.

[OIG REPORT HERE]

The report found that no official FBI employees participated in the events, but 26 confidential human sources were used.  The media are jumping on the part about no FBI employees being present in order to call those who view the FBI as facilitating and coordinating the events of J6 as “conspiracy theorists.”  However, the FBI’s use of CHSs is downplayed and dismissed.

A major topline takeaway from the report in general is how much effort the FBI put into investigating the assembly pre J6.   When you read the IG explanation of the CHSs [Page 50 and beyond] you get a really good feel for how the FBI was focused and positioned before the day unfolded.

It’s a good thing for FBI Director Christopher Wray to announce his resignation, because President Trump was going to fire him.

A preplanned resignation allows Director Wray to continue portraying FBI officials and agents as victims, and this approach gives corporate media the time to shine the halos and organize their best magnanimous political exit so far.

Swans will likely wear black necklaces in the reflecting pools at the national mall….. and slow muffled drums will follow Wray to every event.

WASHINGTON DC – “After weeks of careful thought, I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current Administration in January and then step down,” Wray said Wednesday, according to prepared remarks released by the FBI’s press office.

“My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day,” Wray said.

“In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work,” the director said. (read more)

One of the least understood aspects of congressional oversight is the elite group of elected politicians who are charged with congressional oversight over all intelligence activity. This highly important oversight group is called the Intelligence Community “Gang of Eight”.

A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House, 2. The Minority Leader of the House, 3. the Majority Leader of the Senate, 4. the Minority Leader of the Senate, 5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, 6. the minority leader from the same committee; 7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 8. the minority leader of the same committee.

With Senator Marco Rubio being pulled out of the Senate to work as Secretary of State, we have been waiting to see who would be appointed by Senate Majority Leader John Thune to be the Rubio replacement as Senate Intel Committee Chair and Go8 member. It now looks like Sea Island attendee Tom Cotton will take up position as SSCI Chair and Gang of Eight member.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Republicans have discussed elevating Sen. John Cornyn to chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, according to party officials, a move that would hand Cornyn a prized gavel as consolation for losing his GOP leader bid and could help induce him to run for reelection in two years.

The complication, and almost certain deal-breaker: Cornyn would have to leapfrog the Republican next in line to chair the Intelligence Committee, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), and Cotton has privately made clear to Cornyn he would claim the position.

Talk about a person who continues failing upward and constantly getting applause for her failures. Wow. Harmeet Dhillon is the opposite of Marc Elias.  Dhillon professionally loses every election case, Elias wins.

After being specifically appointed to focus on the Arizona republican votes, and only to focus on Arizona for 2024, Mrs Dhillon lost every legal election challenge and close ballot contest in the state. All of them. Again, just like the Georgia senate races in 2021 and Arizona race in 2020, Dhillon has nothing to show for the tens of millions in fees paid by the RNC and Trump campaign.

President Trump puts her in charge of future elections via being in charge of the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ.  Almost as if, some entity in the background wanted to ensure the MAGA movement would never gain long-term election integrity benefit.  Imagine that.

Seriously.  Can anyone point to a significant election win that can be attributed to Harmeet Dhillon?  She was specifically assigned to Arizona to focus her efforts for 2024, and it’s a hot mess in AZ again.  She might be friends with Pam Bondi as she was with Ronna McDaniel, that doesn’t mean competency on task.

This is likely not a popular opinion amid a particular part of the MAGA movement.  I can be objectively fair with a review of competence, but Dhillon continues getting more responsibility with each failure.
