Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, I think we may have found Wilbur Ross’s replacement.  In this segment on CNBC Trump transition team leader Howard Lutnick, explains simple MAGAnomics to the panel.  Make this guy both Commerce Secretary and Chairman of the National Economic Council in 2025!

Starting with an explanation of his role within the Trump 2025 transition team, Lutnick then walks through the MAGAnomic principles enmeshed in President Trump’s economic policies.  Mr. Lutnick begins the policy part by outlining how energy restrictions are driving inflation through higher costs of goods. Yes. Yes and Yes.

Then Lutnick shifts to talking about tariffs and is one of the only advisors outside the 2017 team (Robert Lighthizer, Wilbur Ross) who factually references ending the insufferable “Marshal Plan.”  Again, yes, yes and YES.

Howard Lutnick gets it. The essential core of MAGAnomics.  Drive down the cost of goods through expanded energy development, then leverage reciprocity in tariffs to end the exfiltration of wealth.  Then cut out regulation and unleash American enterprise. This is the way to reverse this insufferable economic trajectory that creates a “service driven economy.”   The entire interview is well worth watching:

I’m not exactly sure what Acting Secret Service Director Ronald L Rowe Jr is talking about here, as he delivers remarks during an update on the assassination attempt investigation.   However, he seems to imply the U.S. Intelligence Community is telling him to prepare for a “geopolitical event” that will require expansion of the Secret Service protection mission.

Listen to what Rowe describes at the 23:58 point, after he discusses the “paradigm shift.”

I’m not exactly sure why the second assassination attempt leads Senator Josh Hawley to release a complaint about the systemic issues with the Dept of Homeland Security and U.S. Secret Service, but that appears to be the reasoning he provides.

Why does it take a second attempt to release information to the public that stems from the first attempt?  Seems a little odd to me.

The alligator emojis are all giddy claiming Top Gov DeSantis, has kicked the feds out of Florida and taken custody of Ryan Wesley Routh.  Apparently, the rumors of Ron DeSantis starting a state-level independent investigation has led the DeSantis supporters to believe Ron is doing something.  However, there’s no truth to any of it.

FACTS: Asked in a press conference today about the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, the Florida governor told the media he had not talked to President Trump; however, he did expect an announcement to be “forthcoming” that Florida will investigate the events of the assassination attempt.  The announcement will come sometime later on.  Here’s the answer.  WATCH: 

.

Ryan Wesley Routh was placed in the custody of the FBI immediately after his arrest last evening.  Routh appeared in federal court today, where he is charged with federal gun charges.

Politico – […] In court papers filed Monday morning, an FBI agent alleged that Routh started staking out Trump’s golf course at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Twelve hours later, as Trump was golfing, a Secret Service agent walking the course’s perimeter saw Routh’s semi-automatic rifle poking through the fence surrounding the course. The agent fired at him and Routh fled. He was later arrested by local law enforcement and has been charged by federal prosecutors with gun crimes. (more)

The full briefing video is below.  There are also preliminary pictures of the suspect.  I would note the nervousness of the FBI agent in charge.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw: Secret Service was able to spot a rifle sticking out of the bushes and fired on the suspect some 300-400 yards away.

In the bushes where the suspect ran from, the Secret Service or law enforcement found an AK-47-style rifle with a scope, 2 backpacks that had ceramic tile at them, and a GoPro for taking photos.

Bradshaw also says he has photos of everything that they will release. Bradshaw: “Fortunately, we were able to locate a witness that came to us and said, “Hey, I saw the guy running out of the bushes, he jumped into a black Nissan, and I took a picture of the vehicle and the tags, which was great.” Said the Secret Service agent who spotted this and opened fire did a “fantastic job.”

The main point is that President Trump is okay and was not injured by gunfire that took place near his location at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.  Details are freshly coming through.

UPDATE:  “ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION”  A man with an AK-style rifle pointed the firearm’s muzzle into Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, as the former president was playing a round, prompting the U.S. Secret Service to open fire, according to three law enforcement officials. (More AP Details Below)

The former president is safe and unharmed, and the FBI says it is investigating “what appears to be an attempted assassination” of the Republican presidential candidate.

The person dropped the weapon and fled in an SUV, and was later taken into custody in a neighboring county, the officials said. The officials were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, two of the officials said. And no injuries were reported.

President Trump and his opponent Kamala Harris were both asked the exact same question about what they could immediately do with policy to improve the economic status of Americans.

This provides a very specific compare and contrast opportunity.   Kamala Harris delivers a strange, disconnected and unintelligible word salad in her response, never answering the question.  President Trump gives three specific and immediate tax policy changes to benefit three specific groups of working Americans.  WATCH the first question and answer of both videos:

Robert F Kennedy Jr’s former Vice-Presidential running mate, Nicole Shanahan, continues to finance and produce high quality video content intended to unite the Donald Trump and RFK Jr movements while persuading moderate democrats to join the assembly. [Source Link]

In this video Mrs Shanahan draws attention to the false and malicious narrative done by the hardwired leftists, communists and corporate financial groups who have Alinsky’d the MAGA movement for almost a decade.  It is a very well-done production intended to stimulate a deeper review by those who perhaps only pay slight attention to national politics.  WATCH:

The message is good.  The intent is good. The part of the Kennedy/Shanahan process that continues to befuddle me is not actually them.  Instead, it’s the DNC/MSM and left-wing corporate group’s silence about parts of this unity message they would normally jump on.
