Various news agencies are beginning to break the story of Jared Kushner joining the White House team as a domestic and foreign policy senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.

Jared is married to President Trump’s daughter Ivanka, and has been an integral part of the Trump campaign from the outset.

( AP Report ) […]  Kushner’s lawyer has said he would step down as CEO of his family’s real estate business if he took a White House position and would divest some of his assets in order to comply with federal ethics laws that apply to government employees. The law requires Kushner to take more significant steps to detangle his business interests than Trump, given that conflict of interest laws largely do not apply to the president.

Apparently a controversy of sorts began last evening as a result of comments made by hacktress Meryl Streep at the International Association of Limo-Liberals’ ‘Black Lives Matter Award Ceremony’; also known as the Golden Globes.
On Fox News and CNN Ms. Conway was asked to reply:

Incoming Press Secretary for President Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, gave two interesting interviews for Sunday broadcast.  One of the interesting aspects is Spicer explaining how President Trump has no plans on changing his use of Twitter and social media to transmit his message and opinions on political events.
The first interview was with Howie Kurtz of Fox’s “Media Buzz”. Refreshingly the topic of the vast Russian conspiracy was not part of the overall discussion.  Spicer discusses the potential changes to the White House press pool, and some of the recommendations noted by you and President Trump supporters.

The second interview was a casual interview with local New England media WMUR, and again structured around the communications strategy to be expected from the incoming administration.
Best part of Interview #2 – Predicting President Trump’s approach at openly challenging congress, and members of both parties, in real time -via Twitter- as specific issues of legislative importance are debated.   Oh boy, this should be fun.

Not sure what drives the timing, but it would seem rather unusual for the FBI to release a document dump of investigative files relating to the “Clinton Mishandling of Classified Information” on a Sunday.  Regardless, that’s what they have done.
Initially the FBI release four parts to their document library.
Today they added Part 5. The original link to the FBI document dump is HERE.  The attached Part 5 pdf file is 300 pages and is downloadable.

Oh snapman !  After a slow boil on Sunday’s NBC “Meet the Press” panel discussion about the vast Russian hacking conspiracy, eventually Rick Santelli -no friend of ally of Trump- created instantaneous ‘splodey heads when he dare say:

[04:10]…”On election night, I never saw you so unhappy… You pick sides, everyone picks sides”…

Immediate apoplectic pearl-clutching ‘splodey heads ensue from Andrea Mitchell, David Brooks, Donna Edwards and host Chuck Todd.  Too funny.  Watch:

“That’s not true” …. “That’s not true” …. LOL Methinks they doth protest too much.  ROFLMAO… The more they clutch to their honour, the faster we counted our spoons…
Dramatic context version of the moment below:

Congratulations to Warren Michigan and Toledo Ohio !

…“and we will win, and you will win, and we will keep on winning, and eventually you will say we can’t take all of this winning, …please Mr. Trump …and I will say, NO, we will win, and we will keep on winning”.

Elections have consequences – Fiat Chrysler announces a massive investment in two new auto manufacturing plants in Michigan and Ohio.  More Winning, with a twist of Irony:

DETROIT (AP) — Fiat Chrysler says it’s investing $1 billion in its U.S. factories to create 2,000 new jobs and add three new Jeep vehicles including a pickup truck.

The U.S. media continues to make Russia their primary focus of the news cycle for the fourth consecutive week.  Apparently nothing else has been going on in/around the world of politics that is as important to the media as the “vast Russian conspiracy narrative”.
To wit, President Elect Donald Trump’s Senior Adviser and Spokesperson Kellyanne Conway enters the Sunday talk circuit today and is immediately asked about Boris and Natasha’s dastardly intercepts.
First, Meet the Pus.

Next stop, Clinton News Network:

LOL, Oh man, tasty bait…  C’mon media bite it – we dare ya.  President-elect Donald Trump tweeted this out earlier today, but here’s the Facebook version:

“Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only “stupid” people, or fools, would think that it is bad! We have enough problems around the world without yet another one.
When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now and both countries will, perhaps, work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the WORLD!” – LINK–

What makes this intensely sharp is the reality of the President Obama administration specifically advocating for, and attempting to do, exactly the same thing in 2009.

It’s stunning when you think abut how political officials have so routinely lied, that people actually thought Donald Trump’s Southern Border Security Wall was a metaphor for something ‘less than’ an actual wall.
Candidate Trump did not state a metaphor on June 16th 2015, he stated an actual “big beautiful wall“.  Now, with his administration only a few days away from moving into the White House, various pundits, media and newsers’ are realizing: “oh snap, he really meant that”.

Well,….. DUH!

Not only does President Trump intend to build a wall across the U.S./Mexico southern border, he also plans to start on it right away.   90′ tall poured concrete and rebar reinforced panels, footed and set with solid steel supports.

[…]  Trump’s grand vision of a impenetrable barrier from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico — a physical monument to his hardline immigration policy — hasn’t dimmed, although some of the specifics have changed.  (CNN)

He’s a builder; it’s what he does.  He’s already explained this.

Anyone who has followed politics and the intersection with intelligence reports already knew the CIA (Brennan) and ODNI (Clapper) report was constructed nonsense.  Two more former CIA officials further admit that reality...
(Via Fox News) Friday night, during her last show on Fox News, Megyn Kelly asked former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Pete Hoekstra whether he accepted the conclusion by 17 intelligence agencies in a recently released declassified report that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election and that this interference came at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Hoekstra gave an answer Kelly did not anticipate.  He noted that the declassified report represents the views of only three intelligence agencies, not seventeen. Hoekstra also questioned why the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) did not co-author or clear the report and why it lacked dissenting views.
