The Chief of Staff to the President is a key administration official in any White House. With one foot in policy and one foot in politics, the CoS shapes the outcomes of a presidency.

Current White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, appears on Fox News for an interview with Lara Trump to share her views and perspectives along with her role in assisting President Trump with MAGA success.

Within every interview there are always nuggets that help put perspective on the interpersonal dynamics.  One of the nuggets within this interview is Wiles sharing how she came to be in the original orbit of President Trump.

According to Wiles she was “asked by a mutual friend” to travel to New York and meet with candidate Trump in “late December 2015.”  That timeline would be post-Fox Debate (Megyn Kelly attempted hit – Aug ’15) when President Trump was leading every republican primary poll and became the enemy of the professional Republican establishment.  WATCH:

The fact that the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) was a sub-silo for the CIA is not a new revelation.  In fact, this website and several others have been deep in the research of the networking for years.

From the Arab Spring to Libya, to the color revolution in Ukraine, to the attempted overthrow of Viktor Orban in Hungary, to overturning the outcome of the Romanian election (remember it was a global intelligence determination), to the efforts to support Emmanuel Macron, to influence and IC control over Moldova, and onto the efforts of USAID and Samantha Power in Tbilisi, Georgia, the footprint of USAID in connection to the CIA was always transparent.

The fact that USAID was similarly involved in domestic influence operations, is now coming forth with receipts showing how USAID paid domestic political groups for activism, paid for media influence operations and generally did the same thing inside the United States that the CIA/USAID were doing outside the USA.

The DC apoplexy is related to these USAID/CIA revelations, the financial benefits many were receiving, and the publicity therein.

Factually, the passage of the Patriot Act in October of 2001 created the legal authority for CIA operations to engage in domestic politics under the auspices of national security.  That’s the entire role of the ODNI to act as the pivot point permitting the CIA to collaborate with the newly formed Dept of Homeland Security (DHS).

From this now legally justified origin the tentacles of CIA and DHS then enmeshed with the FBI culminating in the example of former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok discussing the CIA as their “sister agency” and receiving a CIA coin as a token of appreciation for the collaborative efforts.  In sum, the CIA and FBI work in partnership with the DNI and DHS.

It’s all one big Intelligence Community network, and USAID was just a system of influence used both in foreign and domestic affairs.  That’s the generally big picture behind all of these USAID revelations.  None of this is really arguable any longer, and with each new detail the information only affirms the nature of the IC system we have been discussing for several years.

Given the massive coalition created to bring President Donald J Trump back into office, it is natural to sense some trepidation about influences that may pull the pragmatic presidency in opposing directions.  Factually, we would not be human if we did not experience some form of nervous anticipation at this critical juncture for our nation.

The ten-year-old MAGA community 2015-2025 is rooted in the Tea Party grassroots movement that preceded it many years before 2009-2015.

The lessons of Republican betrayal and UniParty corruptive influences that manipulated the Tea Party in order to protect the status quo from the disruption we represented are visible and emotional scars.  Through the years, We The People fought the bastards, won some, lost some, gained some ground and lost some again.

Each battle against the corrupt machinery hidden behind the Potemkin village called DC revealed so much.  From the ground in Virginia where we won for McDonnell, then to New Jersey and onward to Massachusetts in the cold December of ’09, we knew then it was going to be hard, yet we knew nothing about how hard it would actually be.  We just knew it had to be done.

Following our massive and unprecedented victory in the 2010 midterm shellacking, we stood in disbelief watching Senate Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republican apparatus respond to our movement by viewing us through the prism of threat.  We represented a new era and DC saw the pragmatic conservative movement as a threat to their traditional power structure. Leadership attacked the very movement that gave them power.

After a few years of disappointment, open betrayal, frustration and anguish, we again dug deep and began reassembling, only this time with a different voice and a leader, Donald Trump.  The MAGA movement originates from those core Tea Party grassroots activists who stood in the cold and said, “enough!”

Senate confirmation hearings for President Trump cabinet nominations continue today.

10 a.m.: Scott Turner, secretary of housing and urban development. Lee Zeldin, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Doug Burgum, interior secretary. 10:30 a.m.: Scott Bessent, Treasury secretary.

♦ Scott Turner, a former football player who served as a midlevel official in the first Trump administration, has been elevated as Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

♦ Former Representative Lee Zeldin of New York previously made an unsuccessful run for governor in the state in 2022. Now he has been tapped by President Trump to carry out his environmental policy and remove excessive climate regulations at the Environmental Protection Agency.

♦ Former North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum made a $1 billion fortune in the tech industry before running for governor. Burgum, who has longstanding ties to oil and gas companies will seek to fulfill the “drill baby drill” energy independence policy expressed by candidate Trump. Burgum would be in charge of managing vast swaths of federal land and coastal waters in the Interior Department, as well as leases of those lands for oil and gas drilling.

♦ Scott Bessent is a billionaire hedge fund manager who has been a central economic adviser to Mr. Trump as the president-elect created a campaign agenda centered on raising tariffs on imported goods. Mr. Bessent, who will oversee some of America’s most powerful economic levers in the Treasury Department, has called for rolling back government subsidies, deregulating the economy and raising domestic energy production.

Burgum and Bessent will get the majority of attention from the ‘resistance’ democrats and the Moonbats amid their climate change base.

Having previously warned last week that “there would be hell to pay” if the hostages were not released by the day of his confirmation, President Trump broke news today that a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas has been reached.  President Trump broke the news via Truth Social:

[SOURCE]

DETAILS: “This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be reunited with their families and loved ones.

Appearing on the increasingly insufferable former news channel, both Senator Mullin and Senator Hegseth now see an increasingly optimistic future for Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth’s hearing clearly showcased a worn-out playbook of resistance being deployed by the Democrats in the Senate.  Their foot stomping was childish and is increasingly positioning the Democrat Party as irrelevant in the larger picture of U.S politics.  Perhaps we are finally beyond the end of an error.  We can hope.

.

In the larger dynamic of American government, which more people now thankfully see as a grand pantomime, and while Mullin and Cotton are on the right side -at least optically- of the Hegseth nomination, their alignment with a perspective that government provides some larger value in the lives of Americans is still grossly out of place.

The mechanisms, systems and institutions of U.S. government, must be severely unmeshed from defining and influencing permitted activity by the American people.  The bureaucracy must be destroyed, if we are to have any reemergence of liberty.  This is a core issue now visible in the eyes of an awakened majority.

While I am thankful that Markwayne Mullin and Tom Cotton support the removal of the Marxism mindset from the military, that is only one facet of the larger governmental outlook that needs to be confronted.

Confirmation hearings for President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming cabinet are scheduled to begin tomorrow, Tuesday, January 14th.

The senatorial snakes will each take up careful positioning.  Doug Collins for Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Burgum for Secretary of the Interior, and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense are each scheduled for confirmation hearings in the Senate tomorrow.

With committee passage strongly likely, former Congressman Doug Collins will likely garner more than 60 votes in the full Senate. Former Governor Doug Bergum will also likely glide through the committee review, with around 70 votes likely in the full Senate. However, Pete Hegseth is where the challenge will become first visible.

Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth is viewed as the first potential scalp to be taken in the upper chamber.   The first hurdle is getting out of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Chairman Roger Wicker (R-Miss) and Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-RI).

The full slate of Democrat members are likely to oppose Hegseth under the justification of his personal attributes not being of strong enough moral character to lead the military.  The women on the committee will face strong pressure to reject Hegseth due to perceived sexism and misconduct.  No one knows what the FBI background check has uncovered, but it will likely be shaped during the predictable confrontation.

In this segment of Glenn Greenwald’s monologue, he outlines the background of the IC opposition to Tulsi Gabbard and how that pressure forced Gabbard to change her position on FISA-702 authorization. {Background}

Tulsi has been a prior critic of the warrantless surveillance of Americans through the FISA-702 process.  However, in order to get confirmed to President Trump’s cabinet as the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard has been forced to reverse her opposition to FISA-702.  This is how the DC Deep State operates.

Without getting a single Democrat vote, Gabbard would rely upon the Republican senators supporting her.  The republican senators will not support her unless she agrees to continue the surveillance state as it is currently utilized.  Gabbard is an example of what We The People are up against in this confrontation with DC politicians who support a weaponized surveillance state.  WATCH:

To be fair, an argument can be made that Mrs. Gabbard is saying that she is going to keep FISA but have a stricter threshold for its use, and that would still be a change for the better in protecting citizens from its widespread use to surveil us at whim. Keeping FISA doesn’t necessarily mean she can’t affect a lack of it’s use domestically.  However, that is somewhat hopeium and wish-casting.

Given the extreme nature of how the 702 processes have been used, and combined with the new AI tools being constructed to exploit the metadata capture of all American citizens to expedite the surveillance results, it is critical to find actionable control mechanisms before the next reauthorization comes up again.

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said in a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen that he’s ready to speak with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.

(VIA DAILY MAIL) – Greenland’s leader, Múte Egede, has expressed his willingness to engage in negotiations with President-elect Trump – although it won’t be over American potentially gaining control of the country.

Instead, the discussions would focus on the future of the mineral-rich Arctic territory, with a clear emphasis that Greenland’s people have no interest in becoming Americans.

Speaking at a press conference in Denmark on Friday, which holds nominal sovereignty over Greenland, Egede acknowledged the strategic importance of Greenland to the U.S. and said he was open to discussing areas of mutual interest. (more)

Joe Biden was asked yesterday if he would pardon anyone else.  He couched his response, “it depends on some of the language and expectations that Trump broadcasts in the last couple days here as to what he’s going to do,” Biden told reporters at the White House. “There’s still consideration of some folks, but no decision.”

Now, think carefully about that response to the question.  Biden handing out more pardons depends on what Donald Trump says he is going to do.

What exactly is the negotiating factor here?  If Trump says he will hold people accountable for the weaponization of government, then Biden will preemptively pardon them.  However, if President Trump does not say they will be held accountable, then no preemptive action is needed.

No where in that type of thought process is the weaponized targeting and behavior a factor, only whether they will be held accountable for it.  Put another way, the activity is admitted as corrupt, the decision now rests on whether they can avoid accountability for their corruption.

There will be more pardons.  It doesn’t matter what President Trump says or does not say.  Psychologically, they are admitting to the wrongdoing. The issue is now about how to avoid the consequences.  There will be more pardons; they are simply negotiating who gets them.
