Oh, the good news just keeps on coming. We are one step closer to actually seeing Keith Ellison as the Chairman of the DNC. We should do everything possible to ensure his success in this quest.
Washington (Via CNN) – Howard Dean has dropped his bid for a second stint chairing the Democratic National Committee, citing “other priorities” and a “possibly divisive” race.

“I’m not going to be a candidate for the DNC chairmanship,” the former Vermont governor and 2004 presidential candidate said at the start of an Association of State Democratic Chairs forum in Denver. “I think it could possibly be divisive. I have other priorities. I have a grandchild now. But I am fully dedicated to using as much time as I can to support whoever the chairman is.”
A leading contender for the spot is Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota (read 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)

To fully understand the level of angst still permeating the failed Hillary Clinton campaign team, it is wise to remember they were so entirely overconfident they actually rented out the entire Javitz center on election night.
That’s 840,000 square feet of celebratory venue on four levels stretching across six city blocks in New York City.
Team Clinton had convinced themselves the election outcome was merely a formality.  Everyone in their concentric circles, including the media, was totally and completely convinced that Hillary Clinton was going to win.  The loss was seismic, tectonic, and beyond jaw-dropping for their echo-chamber.  It caught them entirely unprepared.
That’s the essential backdrop for a level of psychological and emotional denial the Clinton team just cannot bring themselves to overcome.  Last night the severity of their collective grief was on full display during a panel discussion at Harvard University.
It’s somewhat of an election ritual where every four years at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government (CNN’s David Gergen President), opposing teams from the presidential campaigns answer questions together from the media and from each other.
However, this year, Clinton’s advisory team attacked Trump’s campaign team with racism charges, saying “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.” But the Trump team didn’t take it laying down, and Kellyanne Conway fired right back.
Here’s the explosive confrontation:

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…)
