Tomb of the Unknown ChristmasOur 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 †

Americans, Start Your Engines…

There is a massive economic surge making noise just on the other side of the horizon; best understood within the following dichotomy:

♦ Manufacturing automation reduces the need for human capital.

♦ The outsourcing of U.S. manufacturing is due to lower labor costs overseas.

The inability to square that modern ideological and economic circle lies at the heart of a new economic paradigm, a second American economic revolution.

When W Edwards Demming exported his post world war II industrial manufacturing management skill to Japan, the key export was not technological – it was psychological.
There is something very unique to the American labor market that does not exist within global competitors; the ability to innovate, to think outside the box.
Within the culture of Americanism lies a very specific DNA strain that is non-conformational, or anti-status-quo.  It’s an immeasurable and unquantifiable factor in the success of American economic exceptionalism.  No other nation has found a way to duplicate it; the closest anti-establishment cultural sensibility is Australia.

President-Elect Trump Releases Transition Message Directly to American People…

If there was any doubt that Donald Trump was going to usher in a new American era of communication where the main stream corporate media were made irrelevant, well, this should answer the question.
Using Facebook –HERE– and social media (Dan Schavino and Jason Miller), President Elect Donald Trump releases a video message (directly to the American electorate) updating everyone on the Transition Team objectives and reaffirming the already announced goals for the first 100 days.


Worth noting late last night President Obama was still pitching his Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (TPP) during a press conference in Peru. President-Elect Donald Trump, within this video, states his immediate intent to eliminate the U.S. involvement in this TPP construct.

Kris Kobach Rumored for Department of Homeland Security…

Amid all the chatter and opinions of possible cabinet positions for the incoming Trump administration a few of them seem more likely than others.  General Mattis (w/ waiver) for Defense Secretary, and Mayor Rudy Guiliani for State Secretary are among the more ideologically, purposefully and intuitively aligned.
kris-kobach-3Another name that seems like a very real possibility, given the Trump immigration proposals and needed enforcement mechanisms, is Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
We previously outlined how Kobach appeared to be the central architect of the plan –SEE HERE.
Today, another report surfaces with a rather interesting angle as an AP photographer captured the image of some documents Kobach was carrying into a meeting with Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
(Via Kansas CJOnLine) A written plan for the Department of Homeland Security brought by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach into his meeting with President-elect Donald Trump spells out a desire to question “high-risk” immigrants over support for Sharia law and the U.S. Constitution. (more…)

EPA Chief Contemplates "Paralysis" From Donald Trump Administration…

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is contemplating a new administration against the backdrop of 8 years of left-wing environmentalism pushing “climate change” as the crow-bar to achieve their agenda items.
More and more Americans are becoming aware the larger climate goals have nothing to do with the environment, and are driven by a group of elites who have worked earnestly to create the pop culture narrative toward “climate change” as a social engineering tool.

The ultimate objective of decades of selling and reinforcing this narrative is a secondary global financial market based on ‘carbon-trading’ to create, essentially, a new financial exchange similar to the futures market on Wall Street.  Once established the exchange can use purchases and sells of ‘carbon credits’ to generate a new global oligarchy.
Their unified goal (for decades) has been to create an entirely new secondary financial market where global elites can control all human activity beneath their ruling dictates.  The essence of pushing the various “climate change” initiatives are simply tools to achieve this objective, nothing more.

The Trump Tower Live Stream Returns…

This is still just, well, too funny.  The media are carrying a live-feed pool video of the Trump Tower lobby again as the interest on the comings and goings continues.  There are dozens of reporters staged in the lobby and the pool camera is focused on the elevators.
You can watch and listen below:

President-Elect Trump Meets With Media Executives "Off The Record"…

It would appear the greatest media concern is President-Elect Trump’s ability to communicate directly to the U.S. Electorate without needing the filter of corporate media. This potential new media irrelevance seems to lie at the heart of the MSM current angst.

Interestingly, Donald Trump is meeting with several executives and media personalities today in Trump Tower for an off-the-record discussion:

(Via CNN) […] The meeting will involve Trump, Conway and representatives from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox News. (NBC’s cable news channel MSNBC is included in the NBC invitation, Conway noted.)

Some of the top network anchors are traveling or on vacation this week, but others will be in attendance, the Trump aide said. Several executives from the networks will also be there.

Kellyanne Conway -vs- CNN Moonbat Chris Cuomo…

Inside the Webster’s dictionary next to the word “insufferable” you’ll find a picture of CNN moonbat Chris Cuomo.  Earlier today Cuomo interviewed Donald Trump’s former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway:
