There’s no doubt Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is supporting President Trump’s nominees, Schmitt says “yes, I will,” full stop.  Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is a little less optimistic, but still in favor of supporting President Trump’s nominees.

Tuberville says the issues within the GOP Senate need to be worked out between their opening session on January 5th and the inauguration of President Trump on January 20th.  The GOP needs to hammer out their positions during that timeline, then shut up and support the President.

The conversation then moves to the specific support for Matt Gaetz, both MAGA senators Schmitt and Tuberville say they will support Gaetz for the reasons of confronting the weaponization of Main Justice.  Former AG from Missouri, Senator Schmitt shows why he would be an excellent nominee to confront the Deep State in any role, he rightly notes his previous lawsuits against the Biden administration.  WATCH:

The co-chair of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Vivek Ramaswamy, appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the goals and intentions of the DOGE effort.

Ms Bartiromo continues to pull the conversation back to the need for Ramaswamy and Musk to go to the legislative branch for permission to reduce government waste.  Over and over again, Ms Bartiromo frames this discussion around: DOGE must go to congress for permission.

Note to Ms. Bartiromo.  DOGE is an initiative of the Executive Branch; specifically, an authorized agency with authorized officials carrying the plenary and absolute power of the Presidency.  The President is the Executive.  The Dept of Govt Efficiency, along with all of the other institutions and offices mentioned by Bartiromo, are subsidiaries within the Executive Branch.

This is the Executive Branch, a plenary power, reducing the size of the Executive Branch and eliminating waste within the Executive Branch.  There is no part of this effort that needs permission, authorization or approval from the Legislative Branch.  That entire line of thinking is structurally flawed.  WATCH:

.

President Trump does not have to go to congress to do something entirely within the Executive Branch.

When I watch Ms Bartiromo frame these arguments on completely fraudulent constitutional premises’, I begin to question the motives of Ms Bartiromo.  There’s something else happening here with Bartiromo and her steering “congress, congress, congress” narrative.  I’m not wrong.

Sending the message of the DeceptiCON’s in the United States Senate, Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin proclaims he has not yet decided whether to support the nominees of President Donald Trump.

Mullin appears on Meet The Press with the insufferable Kirsten Welker, a well-known stenographer for the Biden-Harris regime, and while it might be predictable to see the water-carrying on display, it is another thing entirely to see Senator Mullin playing the role of feeding the ‘block Trump’ narrative. Senator Mullin says President Trump has the right to nominate “whoever he wants” but Mullin has the right to “deny whoever he deems.” WATCH:

.

It does appear that Mullin’s overall perspective is representative of the how the majority of the Republican DeceptiCons view the inbound nominations. This general tone would indicate that pressure from the public could end up making an important difference.

Those who walk the deep weeds of politics immediately recognized that Ann Selzer had cashed-out and was going to retire after she transmitted the ridiculous polling that showed Kamala Harris was going to win Iowa by +3 points.  The prediction was laughable, and the result showcased just how silly it was, Trump +13.

The reality was that Selzer, and the ideologues around her, posted the bogus weekend election poll in order to fuel an attempted “pro-abortion” narrative and boost female turnout in the November 5th election.  The Sunday talks and corporate media ran with the narrative from the baseline of Selzer’s fraud.

Today Ann Selzer announces her retirement, “in order to pursue other ventures and opportunities.”

IOWA – Public opinion polling has been my life’s work. I collected my first research data as a freshman in college, if you don’t count a neighborhood poll I did at age 5. I’ve always been fascinated with what a person could learn from a scientific sample of a meaningful universe.

Beyond election polls, my favorite projects were helping clients learn something they did not know to help them evaluate options for their companies, institutions or causes. That work may well continue, but I knew a few years ago that the election polling part of my career was headed to a close.

[…] My integrity means a lot to me. To those who have questioned it, there are likely no words to dissuade. For those who know me best, I appreciate the supportive notes and calls reminding me that what drew me to them as friends, colleagues and clients was commitment to truth and accuracy — both in my professional and my personal relationships.

It’s not Joe Biden per se’, he is simply a useful pawn.  This action is coming from the people deep inside the IC and State Dept who are committed to fomenting a serious conflict with Russia and Vladimir Putin as the White House is about to change hands.  We previously said to watch out for this lame duck session.

In response to previous discussion about this, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he had ‘clear eyes’ on what long-range missile deployment inside Ukraine really meant. Ukraine does not have the targeting systems or satellites to use long-range missiles for strikes into Russia.

If long-range missiles were used by Ukraine, they originate from the U.S-NATO and they are deployed with the targeting of U.S-NATO.  Vladimir Putin clearly stated that if such weapons were used, Russia will not pretend or ignore that this is direct provocative engagement by NATO against Russia.  Knowing this, the people around Joe Biden have just deployed exactly what Putin warned about.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use a powerful American long-range weapon for limited strikes inside Russia in response to North Korea’s deployment of thousands of troops to aid Moscow’s war effort, according to two senior U.S. officials.

It has come to my attention that most of MAGA, specifically those who do not understand the history of Republicans in the Senate, support a return to Senatorial and Parliamentary norms, where 60 votes are needed in order to advance any legislative intent. [READ HERE] Stupid is, as stupid does.

Prior to the 2024 election, Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, promised to end the filibuster rule and change the Senate to a simple ‘majority rules’ body.  However, in the aftermath of the 2024 election outcome, where Democrats are now in the minority, Chuck Schumer has a reversal of prior opinion and is requesting the Republican leadership to retain the filibuster rule – giving power to the Democrats who now hold minority position.

Into this mix of UniParty and DeceptiCon political constructs, the online MAGA community are now advocating for a return to old Senatorial rules where amendments can be offered to all bills proposed and the 60-vote threshold is retained for cloture, filibuster power and legislative passage.

Despite knowing Majority Leader Schumer was going to crush them, Senator Rick Scott, Senator John Cornyn and yes, now, Majority Leader John Thune, are taking the high road and promising to keep the power of the Democrat minority in place.  A more apropos example of “Battered Conservative Syndrome” has never been so clear.

WASHINGTON DC – […] “The short version of that is: Please don’t do to us what we were going to do to you. Schumer is obviously concerned that Republicans might embrace a scheme to eliminate the filibuster and pass all sorts of consequential legislation with no Democratic input at all. That wouldn’t be bipartisan! Fortunately for Schumer, Republicans have been more principled than Democrats when it comes to the legislative filibuster, and to the filibuster in general. Republicans realize that even though they will have the majority for the next two years, they might be back in the minority at any time after that. So, Schumer will not get it good and hard the way he planned to give it to Republicans.” (more)

This is exactly how ‘republicanism’ infects the MAGA movement, ultimately and predictably positioning the future republican voters frustrated and shouting at trees.  Democrats, together with Mitch McConnell and John Thune love this, because it retains their lucrative business model.

Let me start by reminding the MAGA victims, that’s YOU, of the position of Democrats:

In reaction to the pending arrival of President Trump, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is now saying the conflict with Russia is possible to end with diplomacy:

(Via CBS) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would like to end the war with Russia next year through “diplomatic means” as both countries prepare for President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

In an interview with the Ukrainian media outlet Suspilne, Zelenskyy said he is certain that the war will end “sooner” than it otherwise would have once Mr. Trump becomes president. (read more)

It is important to remember that in this “new democracy” framed by the support of U.S-led NATO, Zelenskyy cancelled all elections within Ukraine in order to maintain his alignment with western influence.

Zelenskyy’s new position is a natural outcome of President Trump’s pending arrival.

President Trump really doesn’t have to do much; all he needs to do is withdraw U.S. support, wait a little while, demand Ukraine hold elections, and Zelenskyy will flee the nation because the political support he needs to retain the illusion of the fight is not present in the will of the Ukraine majority.

Calling for diplomacy is an outcome of Ukraine’s inherent weakness if even the slightest measure of U.S. support is withdrawn. Ukraine can only maintain the battle as long as the U.S. continues funneling money, weapons and direct targeting assistance into the battlefield.

Wow, talk about the perfect encapsulation of the term, “trillions at stake,” in one easy to witnesses screenshot.  This is the current front page of Politico, where you will notice the main article about Lobbyists frames all of the sub-context articles about DC political opposition.

[SOURCE]

DC is a business. K Street houses the mechanics of the lobbying industry and represents the corporate face of the financial system.  The primary lobbying sector is Big Rx, Big Ag and Big Chem; combined they represent trillions of dollars, and they are fully prepared to engage RFK Jr in the war to end all MAHA wars.

WASHINGTON DC – Lobbyists expecting a more conventional pick to lead the government’s $3 trillion health agency than Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the brash contrarian President-elect Donald Trump named on Thursday to take charge, are plotting how to stop the Senate from confirming him.
