This is interesting.  President Trump has announced that David A. Warrington will now lead the Office of the White House Counsel, as well as “Asst to the President and Counsel to the President.”  It would appear that President Trump is adjusting the legal framework within the office.

Originally, President Trump announced William Joseph McGinley to serve as White House Counsel; however, he has now moved McGinley to be the legal counsel covering DOGE, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.  Warrington will now lead the office of White House Counsel:

Excellent news. Within trade and MAGAnomics Peter Navarro serves as the counterbalance to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the influence visible with David Macintosh (Club for Growth).

President Trump announces the return of Peter Navarro in the role of Senior Advisor for Trade and Manufacturing.

Note the word “FAST,” that’s the element Navarro brings to the dynamic.

Where USTR Lighthizer was/is excellent, he was also a little cautious. Current USTR Jamieson Greer was Chief of Staff to former USTR Robert Lighthizer in term #1. Within term #2, speed in delivering the trade outcomes is paramount. We have a Marshal Plan to remove, as well as tariff priorities and the reestablishment of American manufacturing to kickstart fast.

As well as kicking sand in the face of The CoC and CfG, Navarro brings the speed part of the equation to the forefront. Perfect.

As long as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and CfG can be kept away from the critical aspects of Trade negotiations, things will get done “FAST.”

The transition drama is quite interesting.  Where interesting is actually a little funny.

According to “people familiar with the discussions,” President Trump is considering replacing Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, if the Hegseth nomination stalls due to GOPe Senate intransigence.

Wall Street Journal – President-elect Donald Trump is considering Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as a possible replacement for Pete Hegseth, his pick to run the Pentagon, according to people familiar with the discussions, amid Republican senators’ concerns over mounting allegations about the former Fox News host’s personal life.

Picking DeSantis, a 2024 GOP primary rival for the presidency, would amount to a stunning turn for Trump. But he would also find in the governor a well-known conservative with a service record who shares Trump’s—and Hegseth’s—view on culling what they see as “woke” policies in the military.

Congratulations to Tucker Carlson for gaining re-entry visas during a time when Russia has essentially locked down their visitor entry process.  Tucker Carlson has announced he is back in Moscow, Russia for an interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.  WATCH:

This should be an exceptional interview at a very critical time in the transition of U.S. power.

Below is a transcript of the recent comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin remarking on President Donald Trump.

Hillsborough County Sherrif Chad Chronister, a COVID-19 mandate enforcer, has withdrawn his name from nomination as head of the Drug Enforcement Agency.  Chronister announces via Twitter:

Many people are wondering who recommended him to President-elect Donald Trump (possible hint below).  No one is certain, but the withdrawal is a positive sign.  This guy was one of the worst sheriffs in Florida for COVID-19 enforcement, and leans left under the mask of leaning right.

For President Trump this withdrawal is a slight hiccup, and he will likely not be happy with the person who recommended the nomination.

“Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration. There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling. I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County.”

Macron is such a transparent weasel.  He knows he cannot openly travel to Mar-a-Lago to talk about Ukraine, so he invites Mar-a-Lago for a pre-inauguration state visit to come to him under the auspices of a reopening celebration of Notre Dame Cathedral.  lol

President Trump announces via Truth Social that he has accepted the invitation to the celebration this weekend.

Keep in mind that duplicitous Macron, a small man on the political ropes in his own country – desperate to enlarge his diminutive stature as the EU continues to grow in strength to reject Macron’s style of leftism, has pledged to Bussels that he would lead the Trump-proof efforts of NATO.

Macron earnestly believes he can woo President Trump, yet if you watch their encounters closely you will notice that Trump consistently lets the weasel do his weasel stuff while simultaneously putting sunlight on Macron’s conniving nature.

Laying the groundwork for uncomfortable discussions is never easy. However, sometimes the best approach is to cite examples and then expand. Here’s two factual examples.

♦ EXAMPLE FACT #1 – In December 2017, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes asked the White House, specifically President Trump, to declassify the “Nunes Memo.” President Trump did not declassify the memo because President Trump was told by the concentric lawyers within the office that he should not. So, he didn’t.

[We eventually did see the memo, albeit with negotiated redactions, because Nunes (and Kash Patel) played by the Silo rules and entered a period of negotiations with the Intelligence Community. Nunes leveraged reauthorization of FISA-702 authority, predicated on declassifying his memo. We The People subsequently saw the memo, but we were screwed by the FISA reauthorization.]

♦ EXAMPLE FACT #2 – In January 2020, as he exited the White House, President Trump, using his office, played by the Silo rules and asked for the Russiagate documents to be made public. They never were.

This is such a great example of “Truth Management.”

Y’all are probably familiar with this declassification letter written by Mark Meadows. But what you didn’t see before is how it was designed to fail.

This approach is following the DC rules of the Intelligence Community (IC) Silos.

Senator Ron Johnson appears with a very excited Maria Bartiromo to discuss the possibility of Kash Patel taking the lead role in the FBI.

As Senator Johnson notes in the interview, bringing the truth forward to the American public is the greatest challenge. “The truth is a powerful weapon,” Johnson said. However, Johnson also notes “I’m not an optimist in this Maria, quite honestly, I wish I could say I was.”

Well said, Senator Johnson, well said. WATCH:
