There it is. The background for the first meeting between President Trump and President Zelenskyy is buried in the story of Emmanual Macron holding two bilateral meetings before the Notre Dame reopening ceremony.  [Now, where’s Tucker?]

If you carefully read this Politico Story you can see how President Trump and President Zelenskyy would be in the same place at the same time, courtesy of French President Emmanuel Macron.  This explains Trump’s willingness to go to the Notre Dame ceremony and simultaneously reconciles the absence of Joe Biden.

It’s a simple application of geopolitical Occam’s Razor. There’s no other background that reconciles all the variables. Trump is going to speak with Zelenskyy. All of it makes sense.

POLITICO – PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron will hold separate bilateral meetings with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President-elect Donald Trump ahead of the reopening ceremony of the Notre Dame cathedral on Saturday, the French presidency announced.

This will be Trump’s first visit abroad since his victory in the Nov. 5 election. Macron is among those leaders currently in power to have known the soon-to-be 47th president during his first term in office — a position he will look to leverage in order to assert himself as a key European partner to the U.S.

…. And just like that, another piece of the puzzle falls neatly into place.  President Trump has announced that David Sacks will be joining the administration as the Czar of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency.

[Source]

The group of Peter Thiel (Palantir), Elon Musk (X), Vivek Ramaswamy (DOGE) and JD Vance (VP), now gain the addition of David Sacks to their core mission.  Both govt inspired/networked AI and the world of Cryptocurrency will benefit.

Many voices say the introduction of AI into government networks was/is a foregone conclusion, so we should be happy that it’s the ideology of Musk, Thiel, Sacks, Ramaswamy and Vance constructing the parameters of the weapon.  Perhaps they are correct.

On the upside, the Big Banks of JPMorgan, BoA, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will not be too happy, so there’s that.  Bitcoin and various crypto exchanges like Bakkt will continue surging.  A new era of finance dawns.

Anytime the professional leftists lose anything, they immediately become victims.  Whether defeated in the battle of ideas (retreat to safe spaces), defeated in the field of pop culture, or even defeated linguistically through debate (words are violence).  Whenever the professional left loses, they immediately become victims.  It’s what they do.

The professional political left, newest version from the Chicago spawn of Dohrn/Ayers, has been waging full combat Lawfare via a weaponized government for the past 16 years.  However, Obama/Plouffe were defeated, “their kind” rose again and won the 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

What we see in this “preemptive pardon” narrative, is a repeat of the victim narrative.  This time the White House discussion boils down to ‘Lawfare agents must be protected from any retaliation for their action’.  Pardons presumably provide the mechanism to protect the victims.  In the big picture of ideology, this is a continuation of the same mindset.

Politico started the narrative with an outline {SEE HERE} saying the White House was having an internal debate as to whether Joe Biden should preemptively issue pardons to members of the J6 committee, members who constructed false impeachment accusations, members within the DOJ who fabricated political cases using the Special Counsel process, or generally people on the political left who supported/facilitated all the aforementioned false attack fronts.

As the narrative is told, all those who supported the attacks against President-Elect Trump and his allies, now need to be protected from “retribution.”  Inherent in the argument, and within the use of pardons, is the baseline that some form of illegal activity was taking place.  Heck, if it wasn’t unlawful conduct, then no pardon would be needed.  This is the political catch-22 created by the preemptive pardon narrative.

Senator Ron Johnson appears with a very excited Maria Bartiromo to discuss the possibility of Kash Patel taking the lead role in the FBI.

As Senator Johnson notes in the interview, bringing the truth forward to the American public is the greatest challenge. “The truth is a powerful weapon,” Johnson said. However, Johnson also notes “I’m not an optimist in this Maria, quite honestly, I wish I could say I was.”

Well said, Senator Johnson, well said. WATCH:

Senate Select Committee on Intelligence member Mike Rounds doesn’t sound too enthusiastic about Kash Patel in the role of FBI director.  In an interview this morning on ABC, the Republican senator from South Dakota said President Trump has the right to nominate Mr Patel, and the Senate will consider the “consent” from there.  WATCH:

Several people are wondering if current FBI Director Chris Wray will resign.  It’s a very unusual dynamic and the internal pressure will likely be on Director Wray to force President Trump to fire him, especially if the House and Senate are in session and there’s no possibility at the time for President Trump to appoint an “acting” replacement.

A lot can happen with President Trump announcing Kash Patel “will serve as” FBI Director, while a current FBI Director is still in place.  Without the ability to appoint an “acting” replacement, the Deputy FBI director would take Wray’s place even if Wray was fired.  Mike Rounds expresses full confidence in Chris Wray during this interview.

To understand the outcome of the next four years (and beyond), it is important to begin with the same information.  One key not discussed anywhere else is outlined below.

Consider this a baseline for future context in the world of the USA and President Trump politics.

♦ Summarized it looks like this: In late summer 2023 not only myself, but several insightful analysts in the world of high finance, had come to the conclusion that Musk’s financial effort with the purchase of Twitter was unsustainable, unless something changed.

Something did change.

In early August of 2023, understanding the dynamic at stake, and also having a strategy for his own interests, Oracle’s Larry Ellison said, ‘he would not let Elon Musk fail with Twitter’.

Billionaire Larry Ellison, a Tesla Board member, already had invested money in place, but that wasn’t the motive on this move. In hindsight, Ellison was brilliant and intensely strategic.  It is important to understand what exactly ‘board members’ are recruited for, and the stability/security reasons for why they are recruited.

President Trump has announced the nomination of Jamieson Greer to be the United States Trade Representative (USTR).  Jamieson Greer was the Chief of Staff to former USTR Robert Lighthizer.

In a previous nomination of Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary, President Trump noted Lutnick would have responsibility overseeing the office of the USTR.   Apparently Lutnick and Greer will be working closely together.   Great news.

Greer is likely to be facing China first and most directly, as President Trump economically faces the EU and NATO over the Ukraine issues.

The second announcement on the economic team does not need confirmation.  President Trump announces the return of ¹happy warrior Kevin Hassett as Director of the White House National Economic Council (NEC).  This is awesome news, and Hassett is a great communicator.

Dan Scavino Jr is as close a confidant as you can get to President Trump, without being a member of the family.  According to a recent Tweet sent by Scavino, President Trump has never considered former HPSCI Chairman Mike Rogers for the position of FBI Director.

[Source]

Dan Scavino would never send this Tweet, without the explicit direction of President Trump telling him to do so.  Essentially, this is the soft way for President Trump to tell Mike Rogers and his supporters he is not in the planning.

As stated before, current FBI Director Chris Wray has not resigned, and he has two years left on his term.  President Trump cannot fire Chris Wray until he takes office after the inauguration.  Therefore, all of the discussion about a new FBI director is essentially moot.

We likely will not know anything about the retention or removal of Christopher Wray, until after President Trump takes office.

It’s a little funny, in an ironic way.  Much was made of homosexual Pete Buttigieg, together with his husband, using a gender-binary surrogate to become parents. President Trump nominates Sean Duffy to be Buttigieg’s replacement; Duffy has nine kids.

President Trump has announced the nomination of former Wisconsin Congressman, Sean Duffy, to be Secretary of the Department of Transportation.
