Interesting developments that add a more fulsome context to the Axios report about alternative Tech platforms earlier in the day.
Several news outlets are now reporting that Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) will exit his congressional seat at the end of this month and take a position as CEO of the newly formed Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG).
Many people are wondering why hire a congressman and not a technology expert. To wit, I would say Trump’s not hiring a congressman. It looks to me like he’s hiring a professional with specific expertise in the intelligence arena.
If you think about the bigger battleground, a technology CEO with subject matter expertise in the U.S. intelligence system is a skillset to be appreciated.
NY Post – Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), a prominent ally of former President Donald Trump, will leave Congress at the end of this month to head up Trump’s new social media company.
Trump Media & Technology Group announced the appointment of Nunes as CEO in a Monday evening statement.
“The time has come to reopen the Internet and allow for the free flow of ideas and expression without censorship,” Nunes was quoted as saying. “The United States of America made the dream of the Internet a reality and it will be an American company that restores the dream. I’m humbled and honored President Trump has asked me to lead the mission and the world class team that will deliver on this promise.”
GBNews is using the opportunity of an interview with President Donald Trump to market their relatively new media franchise. Perhaps that is to be expected, but the amount of self-promotion from the network around this interview is a little weird. That said, Nigel Farage and GBNews were given an extended interview with President Donald Trump from Mar-a-Lago for broadcast in the U.K. The video from GBN is below.
The video is prompted to 09:00 to eliminate nine minutes of lead-in promotion. Farage begins the GBN narrative by saying President Trump has been invisible to the international audience since he left office.
The interview is broken down into two parts. The first part discusses the 2020 election, the second part covers current events. During each segment GBN injects MAGA and anti-MAGA voices into the discussion, as Farage says “to give balance” to the interview. President Trump notes it is important to look back to the problems of 2020 in order to look forward to what is needed for the MAGA movement in the next election. WATCH:
President Donald Trump called in to Fox Business yesterday [LINK] for an extensive interview about the current state of the U.S. economy, gas prices, energy policy and the Biden administration’s COVID response.
President Trump told FOX Business’s “Varney & Co.” he had hoped President Biden would do well in managing the coronavirus, but pointed out that “significantly” more Americans have died from the virus under Biden’s watch than his own “despite all of the vaccines and the therapeutics” that are now widely available. Trump emphasized his position on the vaccine, “I want people to go out and want to get [vaccinated], but I don’t want to force it into them.” WATCH:
Thanksgiving 2021. Those who wish to “fundamentally change” our nation are waging a full frontal assault against our constitutional republic. The bombardment seems overwhelming, but we are stronger. Their demand for control is a reaction to fear – the Marxist movement is dependent on spreading that fear. They know their time is ending. They are more desperate now, than ever before.
Leftist city and state leaders have abandoned rule of law in favor of supporting the mob effort to destroy our sense of national unity. Political activists, left-wing ideologues under the guise of democrats, and a host of media stenographers are conducting an information war on behalf of their objective. Big tech social media companies are attempting to remove the voices of those who are fighting back. Yet, even with all that effort, We The People are stronger.
President Trump is publishing a new photo coffee table book called “Our Journey Together.” [Purchase Here] According to the Washington Examiner, the first 24 hours of pre-orders resulted in more than $1 million in sales even without any official promotion or sales push.
The major book publishing houses previously stated they would not work with President Trump and blacklisted him. As a result, President Trump organized his own publishing network called Winning Team Publishing. The books will begin shipping the first week of December, just in time for Christmas.
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a major supporter of the America-First MAGA agenda, sat down for a recorded interview with President Donald J Trump. {Direct Rumble Link}
The interview itself is interesting because many of the questions to President Trump are the types of probing questions never asked before. A major topic to begin the interview is the overall perspective of the media and how the skewed perspectives of corporate media interfere with all levels of the ability to communicate and govern. Mr. Lindell weaves his fondness for President Trump into questions about the impact of facing so much vitriolic opposition. WATCH:
We begin any outline of the Durham investigation with the following disclaimer: How is John Durham going to reveal everything that is possible about the deep state Trump targeting operation, and simultaneously handle the involvement of Robert Mueller, Andrew Weissmann and the Special Counsel team who were specifically appointed to cover it up.
Kash Patel, former Pentagon Chief of Staff, and former Senior Staff Advisor to the House Intelligence Committee, discusses the recent public developments within the John Durham investigation, and gives his opinion on possible targets who were operating inside government.
Patel holds the opinion that Joe Biden’s current National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan is a likely target. Patel also says he could see three former FBI officials as targets of the Durham probe: (1) former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe; (2) former FBI Special Agent in the Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok; and (3) former DOJ legal counsel to Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page.
Patel frames his opinion that Andrew McCabe would be targeted from the perspective that McCabe likely told FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith to change the wording of an email in order to support the Carter Page FISA application renewal. Clinesmith plead guilty and was sentenced to six months probation; however, in the court filings and affidavits, Clinesmith said under oath he acted alone – so I’m not sure why Patel is confident about Andrew McCabe being at risk from Clinesmith.

Everyone is rightly frustrated by the lack of legal accountability upon the primary government officials and politicians who participated in the political use of their agencies to target Donald Trump. However, it is important to keep in mind the biggest network who participated in Spygate from inside government was the Robert Mueller Special Counsel team.
It is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to have an optimistic outlook toward accountability until someone -anyone- can reconcile how John Durham can target former government officials and yet avoid the scale of the Special Counsel efforts that were deployed to cover it up. The 2016 DOJ/FBI Crossfire Hurricane operation to the 2017 DOJ/FBI Special Counsel is one long continuum of the same exact corrupt investigation; done for the exact same corrupt intents; and carried out by the same people.
There is no way John Durham is going to touch the Special Counsel investigation of Robert Mueller; and until someone can provide a reasonable discussion of how Durham can deal with the Robert Mueller investigation and yet target former government officials -who were protected by Mueller- everything regarding future indictments of bigger fish is essentially hope porn.
Eric Holder was held in contempt of congress for refusing to produce documents and testimony in the Fast-n-Furious investigation, and the DOJ did nothing. IRS official Lois Lerner was held in contempt of congress for failure to produce documents and give testimony in the IRS investigation, and the DOJ did nothing.
Steve Bannon is held in contempt of congress for failing to provide documents and give testimony to the J6 committee, and the DOJ issues an indictment….
[In the background of this DOJ story today, it is important to highlight the FBI has given the New York Times evidence extracted from the phone of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe. Remember, O’Keefe is suing the New York Times. The FBI raided O’Keefe on behalf of their ideological allies in the New York Times.]
Today, AG Merrick Garland is using a fully weaponized Justice Department to purposefully, intentionally and willfully target the political opposition of the Biden administration. Worse still, the entire media apparatus knows this purpose and yet denies it. Our nation is in a very precarious place.
WASHINGTON DC – Stephen K. Bannon was indicted today by a federal grand jury on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Bannon, 67, is charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol. An arraignment date has not yet been set in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
President Trump delivered remarks to the National Republican Congressional Campaign (NRCC) audience and a portion of that speech is posted on his website [LINK HERE].
Within the speech {Direct Rumble Link Here}, President Trump outlines what should be the national priority of the Republican Party to focus on the issues that matter most to the forgotten middle-class that make up the MAGA majority. “If Republicans can stick together, we can beat them in deep blue cities and states, and we can beat them ANYWHERE—but we must stay UNIFIED. If we are united, we will end Nancy Pelosi’s political career once and for all.”
[Transcript 03:55] … “There are far more of us than there are of them. We need nationwide boycotts of companies who don’t believe in Republican and conservative principles. We’re not going to buy their product if they’re not going to buy our policy..if they’re not going to respect us….we’re not going to do it. Watch how quickly these companies will change if we do this, and we’re going to boycott the media that doesn’t treat us fairly.
