I have been reluctant to engage in speculation over potential Secretary of State candidates because the discussion therein is fraught with far too many nuances to outline succinctly without walking ourselves through a mine-field almost too complex to digest.
Suffice to say, anyone who has followed politics for any substantive amount of time knows the inherent issue with an operational entity, The U.S. State Department, whose entire mission has been at the epicenter of ctrl-left globalist advocacy.

One small example would be the Rivkin Project. Imagine how challenging it would be to take an organizational model, built over decades, and appoint a leader whose diplomatic mission would be to implement/construct policy entirely antithetical to the objectives of the participants within the organization?
Think about it.

Clinton Foundation donor George Stephanopoulos attempts to create controversy during a scheduled interview with Vice President-elect Mike Pence around the issue of taking a phone call from Taiwan’s president.
As with the prior presentation by Chris Wallace (FNS), the globalist ideologues are ideologically concerned about an administration willing to put America’s economic interests first and foremost; in this example above China. The larger globalist concern is specifically because economic nationalism is an existential risk to decades of leftist policies. A strong U.S.A. is antithetical to their objectives.

General James “Mad Dog” Mattis has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be Secretary of Defense.  A video of General Mattis discussing his perspectives on a variety of issues is below.  Well worth watching:

Ok, this one strategic maneuver has just pegged my too-much-winning needle on max overdrive. Donald Trump took a congratulatory phone call from the President of Taiwan, and now the Chinese will be apoplectic.
Those of you who have been with us for a while, will note our arguments against China’s MFN (Most Favored Nation) trade status have continually fallen on deaf ears within DC.  Why?  Because they are political ears paid to remain necessarily deaf, while various Chinese national interests have taken influence over our legislative priorities on trade and commerce.

In short, we’ve been ripped off.  Bigly.  For decades.
Rule #1 in any trade deal is to fully understand who is the customer within the equation.  The U.S. market is the biggest trade customer on this entire beautiful blue planet.  We hold all the leverage.  Access, or denial of access, to this market is the leverage.  (more…)

It appears that yet again CNN can’t help showcasing themselves as rabid violent left-wing ideologues.  During a hot-mic segment on the afternoon show with Brooke Baldwin a CNN producer was setting up a live remote broadcast with correspondent Suzanne Malveaux.
During the set-up, the producer was heard discussing various hand signals with Malveaux: “That means his plane’s crashed — just kidding,” the producer said, prompting a giggle and stunned face from Malveaux. (Video 01:28):

“An unfortunate and inappropriate remark was made by one of our producers off camera yesterday. We have apologized to the Trump transition team, and the producer has been disciplined.”  (link)

The fascinating human fish tank continues:

Tonight Sean Hannity was in Cincinnati Ohio attending the Donald Trump rally. Prior to the rally Hannity interviewed President-elect Donald Trump, Vice-President-elect Mike Pence, and Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Three great interviews below:
First, President-elect Donald Trump:

Oh My Gosh – what an amazing Trump/Pence Victory Rally in Cincinnati.  Pinch me.  All this winning is exhausting; but we’ll be ok… we can take it. Bigly.
During the event tonight President-elect Donald Trump made the officially unofficial announcement that General James Mattis will be nominated to be Secretary of Defense.

From our earlier discussion – The last retired General to run the Department of Defense was George C Marshall in 1950-1951, and he was only brought in for one very specific year. Thereafter the DoD has been headed by various business and political officials, with a smattering of institutionally academic military leaders.

Media reports of Agustin Carstens resignation as chief of Mexico’s central bank have left MSM pundits and even business analysts scratching their heads. It appears no-one has any idea why Carstens is leaving… well, almost no-one.

The non-discussed story is the hidden story that has been visible yet kept quiet for over five years. In essence, what Carstens knows, and what only Carstens knows, is the scope and scale of Mexico’s economic (central finance bank) dependency on the outflow of dollars, hidden U.S. money.
Early this year, it was discussed –for the first time– that effective in 2015 Mexican Remittances exceeded the scale and scope of Mexico’s entire oil and energy export sector. The single-year guesstimate was approximately $25 billion. (more…)
