Rand Paul is the newly appointed Chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. In this interview with Maria Bartiromo, Senator Rand Paul gives his perspective on the looming issue of the debt ceiling needing to be raised.

As Senator Paul outlines, extending and making the Trump tax cuts permanent is a priority. If the congressional spending bill, which will include the need to extend the debt ceiling, is attached to true structural reform on government (the mission of DOGE), then it makes the issue of the debt ceiling much easier to support. This is the legislative position of President Trump.

Additionally, Rand Paul expresses full support for each of the cabinet nominations put forth by President-elect Trump. Chairman Paul will control the nomination process for Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and OMB Director Russell Vaught, and promises quick committee work on those nominations. WATCH:

A breaking report outlines something we have predicted for well over six months.  A new era technocracy group formed around candidate and now the incoming administration of President Donald Trump.  The group holds financial interests, albeit currently in alignment with ideology.

Palantir (Peter Thiel) and defense contractor Anduril are teaming up with SpaceX (Elon Musk) and OpenAI to form a consortium group that will collaboratively bid on USG Federal contracts (likely Defense).

VIA REUTERS – Dec 22 (Reuters) – Data analytics firm Palantir Technologies (PLTR.O), opens new tab and defense tech company Anduril Industries are in talks with about a dozen competitors to form a consortium that will jointly bid for U.S. government work, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

The consortium, which could announce agreements with other tech groups as early as January, is expected to include SpaceX, OpenAI, autonomous shipbuilder Saronic and artificial intelligence data group Scale AI, the newspaper said, citing several people with knowledge of the matter.

“We are working together to provide a new generation of defence contractors,” a person involved in developing the group told the newspaper.

Many people, perhaps even I at times, debate the granular aspects of President Trump’s administrative agenda. However, there is one component of President Donald J Trump that can never be debated, he is the most consequential U.S President in the past century.

There is not a single intellectually honest person who would doubt the intent and focus of Donald Trump to protect and defend the vital interests of our nation. President Trump’s perspective on the biggest of big pictures can never be denied. He has our total support.

President Trump is directing focus toward the U.S. vital national interest in the Panama Canal with a direct and brutally honest message to the government of the nation who benefitted from the most significant engineering accomplishment in all of the Americas.

[Source]

In a set of messages from his Truth Social account, directed toward the government of Panama, President Trump is placing a strong marker to say the control of the Panama Canal will never be allowed to fall into the hands of those who do not have our best interests in mind.

The House Subcommittee on the weaponization of government has issued a massive 17,000-page series of staff reports documenting the Obama/Biden weaponization of government.

While many of the findings are not going to be a surprise to CTH readers, the details and emails cited in the report are substantial.

EXAMPLE: A redacted Facebook executive spilled the beans in an email about a call with DHS, saying: “DHS cannot openly endorse the portal.”

EXAMPLE: • Alex Stamos of the Stanford Internet Observatory emailed NextDoor executives: “We already have partnerships with Facebook, Twitter, and Google, and we would love to chat with you and your team.”

The massive documentary report is broken down into four segments [Available Here].  It is going to take some time to go through all of the reports and extract the critical components.  If you would like to take a review, the four-segment links are below:

If the government “shuts down” but nobody notices, is it really a shutdown?

After a group of 38 republicans aligned with almost all democrats in the house, the effort to raise the debt ceiling and fund government failed.

Unbeknownst to most, the debt ceiling was suspended in Jun of 2023. As a result, Joe Biden and congress could spend on Ukraine without worry about the debt ceiling being a hurdle. The UniParty suspended the debt ceiling with a purpose.

Starting Jan 1st, 2025, the debt ceiling issue is scheduled to return. National debt will be whatever it was when the debt ceiling was suspended plus whatever spending Biden and the UniParty did since June of 2023. A new debt ceiling is estimated to be hit by June of 2025 or earlier.

President Trump told Speaker Mike Johnson -using the CR as a vehicle- to push the restart of the debt ceiling back for 2 years. This would allow for continuance of the tax cuts that President Trump wants to make; plus, economic drivers like no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime, a 15% tax bracket for companies who build, invest and manufacture in the USA.  Expanding the economy is the goal.

The Wall Street Journal triggered a lot of attention with a lengthy expose’ article [SEE HERE] sourced from 50 members of the Biden administration who mostly admit: Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was obvious early in the administration and rapidly worsened in the last two years.

The article outlines what most of the non-pretending group already knew, Biden was selected by Team Obama specifically because he was easily controlled by a group of insider staff allowing the Obama agenda to continue with Biden as the avatar for it. Heck, they even created a soundstage and fake Oval Office backdrop; but we are not supposed to mention that reminder, are we?

WSJ – […] Presidents always have gatekeepers. But in Biden’s case, the walls around him were higher and the controls greater, according to Democratic lawmakers, donors and aides who worked for Biden and other administrations. There were limits over who Biden spoke with, limits on what they said to him and limits around the sources of information he consumed.

[…] This account of how the White House functioned with an aging leader at the top of its organizational chart is based on interviews with nearly 50 people, including those who participated in or had direct knowledge of the operations.

A Georgia appellate court has disqualified Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the case against Donald Trump and removed her from prosecuting not only Trump but also the co-defendants in the case she brought in relation to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. [RULING HERE]

The decision is likely to cripple the case completely and stop the Georgia efforts to prosecute Trump. Federal prosecutors have already dropped the other criminal case related to the 2020 election in the wake of Trump winning the 2024 election.

VIA POLITICO – A Georgia appeals court has ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office must be disqualified from the criminal racketeering case she brought against President-elect Donald Trump and his allies over their efforts to alter the results of the 2020 election.

In a 2-1 decision Thursday, the court found that Willis had created the appearance of a conflict of interest stemming from her romantic relationship with an outside prosecutor whom she hired to help run the case.

“This is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” Judge Trenton Brown wrote, addressing the legal implications of Willis’ relationship with prosecutor Nathan Wade.

The 1,547 page “continuing resolution bill” is available for review HERE.  They are calling this a “CR” (continuing resolution) bill to fund government.  However, only approximately 10 pages (15 to 25) are the funding mechanism; the rest is a regulatory construct, an attempt to circumvent the Trump administration, and position the federal government to defend against structural changes President Trump is intending to initiate.

Within THE BILL, in an effort to force Republicans to support it, there is a section approximately 500 pages, that spends and directs $100 billion for disaster relief in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina following the devasting late season hurricanes.  The disaster relief portion should be a stand-alone bill but is included in the massive omnibus spending package because it creates votes to support.

President Trump is well aware of the mechanics inside the Omnibus (CR) package and, together with Elon Musk, has announced his opposition to it.

President Trump is urging congress to pass only the portion of the bill that would tie up loose ends and keep government funded before he takes office next month.  His direction is to raise the government’s borrowing authority –debt ceiling– and extending government funding.

Doing a short-term funding CR means lawmakers must strip out all the non-funding elements backed by Democrats.  This would allow only Republicans to pass the bill.  The stuff Democrats want would be removed.  Currently the Democrats are aligned to support the bill and vote for it because the majority of the bill is toxic regulatory changes.

By now everyone knows why Tom Homan was selected to be the Border Czar, and work on specific functions of border security and illegal alien deportation by President Trump. With a Presidential appointment, Homan carries the power of office of the presidency without having to go through the process of Senate confirmation.

Essentially, Tom Homan is an official assignment inside the Dept of Homeland Security, with regard to the border and illegal alien targeting. This construct allows Homan to begin effectively on Day #1 of the Trump administration.

In this interview with Tucker Carlson, Tom Homan talks about what his official role and responsibility will be; in combination with the details of the duty he intends to carry out with extreme urgency. WATCH:

As you contemplate the past few months, something very important to remember.  Approximately 70 million people cast ballots to support Kamala Harris for President.  Keep that in mind while watching this.

Kamala Harris speaks to an audience at Prince George’s Community College in Maryland.  WATCH:

NEW: Kamala Harris shocks herself after thinking she said something smart while dropping her famous “context in which you exist” line.

I must say, this was impressive.

“And as we approach and I ask you to remember the context in which you exist.”

“Yeah, I did that,” Harris… pic.twitter.com/6XZrWYg7d7

How anyone can watch Kamala Harris assemble words out loud, and then pretend she is organizing thoughts into cognitive sequencing that makes any form of sense, is just literally silly.   Harris is not a person of stable mindset, with commonly held definitions of intelligence or commonsense; she just isn’t.

I am so glad Obama 3.0 was not installed.
