We probably hold a slightly different perspective on this appointment than most.  CTH analysis follows press release:

(New York, NY) — President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his intent to nominate Governor Nikki Haley (R-SC) as the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, a cabinet-level position in the Trump-Pence Administration.
 
Governor Haley is one of the most universally respected governors in the country. After working at her family’s business, Governor Haley turned her focus to economic development and has traveled abroad to negotiate with international companies on behalf of South Carolina. As governor, she has led seven overseas trade missions and successfully attracted jobs and investment through negotiations with foreign companies.

Approximately 14 hours after creating a media cycle fraught with antagonism and chaos, a more demure Kellyanne Conway appears on Fox News for an interview with Sean Hannity.

@04:42 “I’ve been offered a big position“…

Oh my.
Sounds like “a major award“: (more…)

The professional left have nothing left.
It’s all racist now… all of it.
Seemingly oblivious to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi using the term in 2007, Marxist Moonbat Editor (in full hipster repose) from Southern Poverty Law Center now claiming “drain the swamp” equals racism, or something:

For a snicker, please watch the videos below: (more…)

Go back through the archives of this website to the first outlining of Donald Trump’s run for the White House and you’ll find a quote from us predicting Trump’s biggest weapon for victory being his broad-base of support(ers), us.
Put another way, if you are in opposition to now President-Elect Trump, the target for your approach is to conquer by dividing that base of support(ers).
Enter the Alinsky professional model with Trump’s visit and today’s New York Times headline: “Donald Trump Seems to Retreat on Some Promises“.

“Seems to“? That sounds awfully familiar to Jake Tapper’s: “may have“

NEW YORK – By the closing bell, the Dow rose 67 points or 0.35% to 19023, while the S&P 500 ticked up 4 points, or 0.22% to 2202, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 17 points, or 0.33% to 5386. Telecom, real estate, and consumer discretionary sectors led the gains.

BREAKING: Dow Jones industrials close above 19,000 for the first time as a post-election rally continues to push market to records.

[…] Since the surprise outcome of the U.S. election two weeks ago in which Donald Trump secured the White House, the Dow has rallied more than 667 points, or 3.64% as Wall Street has cheered the prospects of a round of infrastructure spending, renegotiated global trade deals, and a drawdown in regulation.

Amid all the hand-wringing, angst and media-driven pundit protestations, one consistent principle remains: ..when it comes to Donald Trump’s intention, media narratives rely upon twisted information.  Today is no different.
The New York Post kicks off a media cycle by saying “Trump won’t pursue charges against Hillary Clinton“.  That daily headline is driven by a Kellyanne Conway interview on Morning Joe…. and so the narrative charges forth into the bloodstream.
Before we get too caught up in the discussion, it would be wise to remember another time when a similar media narrative began, from the exact same set of players, surrounding Donald Trump reversing his position on illegal alien deportation.
This prior narrative ultimately culminated in a Trump speech in Phoenix Arizona on the day candidate Trump met with Mexican political leadership.  There was no truth to the prior 36 hour narrative.
Within both narrative explosions you find the reason Trump used Steve Bannon to balance out the Kellyanne Conway-ism propensity toward overspeak, combined with media’s intentional use of that overspeak, ie. the sideshow.
President-Elect Donald Trump transparently wants and needs the legislative effort of congress focused on his agenda, his America-First platform.
President Trump does not want his bold advancement mired in the quicksand of DC swamp-water; represented by endlessly divisive and partisan congressional hearings constructed to give professional political party leadership airtime on TV media – and which also, inherently by design, go no-where.

Lots of chatter today about Donald Trump comments surround Hillary Clinton prosecution vs non-prosecution etc. as congress is pondering further investigation into personal email issues.
To concern voices I would remind: #1) Consider the source of information. #2) Who is more valuable to have as SoS. [tamp down] and AG.  #3) The email Clinton issue is “less than” – Remember, it’s the foundation… two Clinton captures are better than one… follow the money.

Also, don’t think Correct The Record (David Brock) is finished just because they lost the election. CTR has a vested financial interest in everything Clinton.  Think long-term.

There is a massive economic surge making noise just on the other side of the horizon; best understood within the following dichotomy:

♦ Manufacturing automation reduces the need for human capital.

♦ The outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing is due to lower labor costs overseas.

The inability to square that modern ideological and economic circle lies at the heart of a new economic paradigm, a second American economic revolution.

When W Edwards Demming exported his post world war II industrial manufacturing management skill to Japan, the key export was not technological – it was psychological.
There is something very unique to the American labor market that does not exist within global competitors; the ability to innovate, to think outside the box.
Within the culture of Americanism lies a very specific DNA strain that is non-conformational, or anti-status-quo.  It’s an immeasurable and unquantifiable factor in the success of American economic exceptionalism.  No other nation has found a way to duplicate it; the closest anti-establishment cultural sensibility is Australia.

If there was any doubt that Donald Trump was going to usher in a new American era of communication where the main stream corporate media were made irrelevant, well, this should answer the question.
Using Facebook –HERE– and social media (Dan Schavino and Jason Miller), President Elect Donald Trump releases a video message (directly to the American electorate) updating everyone on the Transition Team objectives and reaffirming the already announced goals for the first 100 days.

Worth noting late last night President Obama was still pitching his Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP) during a press conference in Peru. President-Elect Donald Trump, within this video, states his immediate intent to eliminate the U.S. involvement in this TPP construct.
