President Trump delivers remarks to the assembled press pool, as he departs the White House for a meeting at Joint Base Andrews with golfing legend Jack Nicklaus.  President Trump is restoring the recreational area at Andrews AFB, and Nicklaus will be designing a complete update to the golf course.

President Trump answers questions from the press pool as he departs, including questions about Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ukraine/Russia conflict, sending national guard troops to New York City and much more.

Please note that on the MTG issue, President Trump notes the relationship she began with Thomas Massie is the issue that created the conflict between Trump and MTG.  This point underscores the information previously provided about how Sea Island and ¹Ron DeSantis are the forward faces of the networks purposefully dividing MAGA.  Thomas Massie has been working for the DeSantis crew for a while.

¹ Most people have not studied the political networks, nor mapped out the behavior of the political owners to see the RdS program as it has unfolded for years.  At the core of the RdS owners stable is the Club for Growth PAC and their prior positioning for DeSantis to take the FL senate seat when Marco Rubio became Jeb Bush’s VP nominee.  That’s why RdS registered for Rubio’s seat in 2015.

[Sea Island Backup] When the ³Jeb/Rubio plan failed in ’16, the after effect (yes, an actual long-term plan) was RdS leaving congress in ’18 to run for Florida Governor and then later for ’24 GOP nomination.  [McIntosh and CfG always planned this.] RdS was always going to run in ’24; watching the ²journey makes the predictions easy.  That’s how CTH predicted DeSantis 2024 run in ’22, when everyone else said, “no way.”

[²The RGA gave DeSantis $20 million in 2023 because the Republican Governors could not factually fund a ’24 GOP nomination run, but they could fund a reelection effort early, which DeSantis could then transfer to his leadership PAC]

[³When you hear stories of the Bush family (Rove/Murdoch et al) planning a comeback after MAGA, this is exactly what this crew is talking about.  The horse you know as Ron DeSantis, is owned by Sea Island stables and trained by Bush Inc.]

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene announced on Twitter that she is resigning from Congress following her public feud with President Donald Trump. MTG will leave office January 5, 2026.

Marjorie Greene was elected to Congress in 2020 from a rural northwestern Georgia district. Prior to her surprise announcement she stood beside Representative Thomas Massie on controversial issues.

.

From the video, “I have too much self-respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

The FBI have given an extensive exclusive to Fox News Digital highlighting that President Trump’s attempted assassin Thomas Crooks acted alone in his efforts to target Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania.

It appears this information, from Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, specifically comes after Tucker Carlson ran a 30-minute segment pointing out inconsistencies in the FBI investigation.

(VIA FOX) – EXCLUSIVE: The FBI came to the conclusion that Butler, Pennsylvania, would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks acted alone — after a massive team doggedly pursued interviews with thousands of foreign and domestic individuals as part of an unprecedented global investigation into the 2024 shooting of President Donald Trump, the bureau told Fox News Digital as part of a lengthy, behind-the-curtain rundown of the probe.

FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and a senior official with direct involvement in the Butler, Pennsylvania, investigation sat down for an unprecedented interview with Fox News Digital for more than an hour Thursday afternoon at FBI headquarters. Patel told Fox News Digital that the investigation was a “Day One priority” for the bureau.

“Dan and I have been on this since we got here eight months ago. We not only had to maintain the chain of command to President Trump, but we had to remind the world that President Trump was the victim — one of the four victims — on that day,” Patel said. “There are victims’ rights rules that apply to him, and they don’t get erased because he is the president.”

The majority of New York City residents elected Zohran Mamdani as their mayor.  New Yorkers elected him, and New Yorkers are going to have to deal with the consequences of their choice.

True to form, President Trump invited mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani to the White House and gave the representative of the New York voters the spotlight their choice represents.  President Trump then holds a media availability with Mayor-elect Mamdani to answer questions.  Sunlight is the best disinfectant.  WATCH:

.

What will the outcome be for New York City?  They will soon find out.

President Trump confirmed on Fox News (during an interview with Brian Kilmeade) he gave Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a week to review the 28-point peace proposal organized by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.

Ukraine will likely never agree to the proposal, because too many European and American interests are grounded in maintaining conflict between Russia and Ukraine.  However, the shift this time is that if Ukraine/EU/NATO and Congress do not agree to the ceasefire and peace proposal, President Trump has indicated he will withdraw all support.

Axios originally obtained the 28-page proposal, and Politico has confirmed it.

Senator Elissa Slotkin (Mich), a former CIA analyst who worked in the State Department and Pentagon during the Obama administration, organized a viral video with Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona, Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Rep. Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire, and Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado.

The six congressional representatives directed their coordinated communication to members of the military and intelligence community. “Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders … you must refuse illegal orders,” they asserted.

However, when questioned about what “illegal orders” President Trump has created, the six members are suddenly very quiet.  White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller responds:

.

Ultimately, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi could easily assign an FBI agent and U.S attorney to question the six members about the “illegal orders” they are telling the military and intelligence community to defy.

If Slotkin, Kelly and the rest cannot present evidence of an illegal order they are referring to, that would be a qualification that should presumably invoke a First Amendment defense claim, then charge them with simple sedition as defined in statute.

CTH has been making this case for a while now.  Simultaneous with DHS creating the covid era “Mis-Dis-Malinformation” categories (2020-202), the social media companies were banning, deplatforming, removing user accounts and targeting any information defined within the categorization.

What happened was a unified effort and it is all well documented.  The missing component was always the ‘why’ factor; which, like all issues of significance only surfaces when time passes and context can be applied.  Everything that happened was to control information flows, ultimately to control information itself.

When presented by well-researched evidence showing how Artificial Intelligence systems are being engineered to fabricate facts when confronted with empirical truth, Elon Musk immediately defends the Big Tech AI engineering process of using only “approved information sources.”

Musk was responding to this Brian Roemmele study which is damning for those who are trying to make AI into a control weapon: “My warning about training AI on the conformist status quo keepers of Wikipedia and Reddit is now an academic paper, and it is bad.”

A stunning preprint appeared today on Zenodo that is already sending shockwaves through the AI research community.

Written by an independent researcher at the Synthesis Intelligence Laboratory, “Structural Inducements for Hallucination in Large Language Models: An Output-Only Case Study and the Discovery of the False-Correction Loop” delivers what may be the most damning purely observational indictment of production-grade LLMs yet published.

You’ve seen me share this visible meme a few times; it always comes along when the predictable sunlight seems looming on the near horizon.  Something again to surface that will cause us to question our preconceptions.

Perhaps it started out like this…  This information, this description of events, situations, explanations of the background cannot be as described; yet, these Sundance citations make it difficult to refute, unnerving to dismiss; but it’s all just a little too disconcerting; but we’ll watch and see, making a mental note.

As time progresses, it is just like this; it is factually as presented. This journey toward the truth of the thing is messy, awkward, weird at times and quite strange to participate in.

Your friends and/or family end up in the same place you were.  As you share the information context, they too, just like you before, initially want to dismiss the truth of the thing – because to accept it breaks away from the comfortable places of prior context.  Like you, they too start to notice things.  They too pay attention.

The next time you converse, the prior dismissals are not as strong as before.  The awakening has enlarged as an outcome of rather unusual predictions, and the outcomes, uncomfortably, also seem to reconcile when the context you provide is considered.

The, “but it can’t be” response, is replaced with “how did you know?”  The awakening expands.

Perhaps for you, like me, like most of us, the seemingly uncomfortable place where information is absorbed with totally new contexts for understanding comes best in small digestible doses.  If so, that’s the healthy way.  I believe it is the best way to retain stability amid an increasingly unstable world.

At the end of most revelations of significant impact, there are people with motives and intentions that boil down to two priorities: influence and affluence.  Those who seek power value influence.  Those who seek personal financial gain value affluence.   These are the priorities we find at the heart of most control efforts.

The need for control is always a reaction to fear.

One of the most significant challenges when confronting corruption, is the need to initially ignore motives and stay focused on the demonstrable and proven citations that cannot be refuted.  Stable people are able to absorb consequential information and remain focused; the motives or understanding the ‘why’ factor is not as important as the reality of accepting the outcome.
