Multiple cabinet nominees of President-Elect Trump have faced threats against their lives and their families.  President Trump’s spokesperson Karoline Leavitt released a statement:

According to Reuters: […] “Elise Stefanik, a Republican U.S. representative and Trump’s choice to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Lee Zeldin, a former Republican congressman who is Trump’s pick to head the Environmental Protection Agency, both said in separate statements they had been the targets of bomb threats.

On Wednesday evening Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to be U.S. defense secretary, said his family had been the target of a pipe bomb threat.

Keep pushing the TRUTH folks; just keep pushing.  I’m going to call this a ‘win’ because this is the first time I have seen an accurate discussion of the little-known power of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

More than two decades ago, it was a commonly accepted discussion point that the intelligence apparatus within government was a system of intensely protective silos of information.  Heck, the entire precept behind the creation of the ODNI was to put one person into a position of perspective above all the other silos.  However, when those silos were weaponized by The Lightbringer it became verboten to discuss it.

In this interview and discussion, Charlie Kirk and Glenn Greenwald discuss the possibilities available to Tulsi Gabbard in the position of DNI.  For the first time the context of the actual power within the office begins to surface.  WATCH:

This is a critically important piece of tape. DC is in full panic mode over Tulsi Gabbard as DNI. Glenn Greenwald, one of the most accomplished journalists to ever cover our intel agencies, explains exactly why, and no, it’s not because they really think she’s a Russian asset:… pic.twitter.com/EojQPl005N

The DNI office has never been used for its intent. Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01.  DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. 

The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar.   The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again.  However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent.   This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.

President Trump announced via Truth Social that he had a “wonderful” and “very productive” conversation with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.  According to the announcement, illegal alien migrants will no longer be permitted to traverse Mexico en route to the U.S. southern border.

[SOURCE]

The professional political left is currently in the process of heralding Sheinbaum as the Latin Angela Merkel; a diplomatic trade figure to stand up against horrible bully, Donald Trump.  However, the left is having a little difficulty assembling the rank-and-file message while reconciling Sheinbaum is a Jewish Mexican.

In the background of other interesting matters, it’s worthwhile taking a glance into the TikTok battle every once in a while.  While I retain a slight ambivalence to the issue of TikTok and social media control mechanisms, it is also true that TikTok is currently the only larger used platform that is not directly under the wing of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

As we noted in the recent Romanian election outcome, the winner of round #1, a nationalist-minded Romania First candidate named Călin Georgescu, strongly directed his campaign message to the Romanian people, via TikTok. Georgescu campaigned on an anti-EU, anti-NATO and anti-war with Russia platform; simultaneously supporting domestic farmers, domestic energy production and advocating for a Romania that is free from foreign influence.

Suddenly, the Romanian officials who lost the election are asking the EU to investigate TikTok for allowing the organic message of Georgescu to flourish and generate support.

(Via Politico) […] TikTok is under mounting pressure to explain how it handled political content in Romania after a first round presidential vote on Sunday propelled the ultranationalist, pro-Russian firebrand Călin Georgescu to a shock victory, in part thanks to his sudden surge on TikTok. A top EU lawmaker demanded on Tuesday that TikTok’s chief executive appear before the European Parliament to answer questions, and Romanian NGOs have urged the Commission to look into whether TikTok and other platforms complied with Europe’s social media laws.

The European Commission oversees TikTok’s compliance with the bloc’s new DSA rulebook, which sets the rules for how large online platforms moderate content, including in political campaigns.

Unburdened by the agency of what has been, Kamala tells the remaining voices shouting at trees, “they still have power.”

While it is never polite form to laugh in public as the Moonbats step on rakes, sometimes it is impossible to retain a straight face and watch them do it.

At this part in the transitions process, Little Marco has to be asking himself what exactly he is going to be responsible for. lol

Despite prior rumors, President Trump has announced that Retired Lt General Keith Kellogg will serve as his special envoy to Ukraine and Russia.  This puts General Kellogg at the center of the upcoming negotiated peace deal that will ultimately end the conflict in Ukraine.

[SOURCE]

Kellogg is a retired Army lieutenant general who has long been Trump’s top adviser on defense issues.  Kellogg served as National Security Advisor to former Vice President Mike Pence. General Kellogg’s plan for ending the conflict involves freezing the battle lines at their current locations and inviting both Kyiv (Zelensky) and Moscow (Putin) to the negotiating table, Reuters reported in June.

… And, with that envoy announcement, I suspect we have now identified who will be President Trump’s emissary.  Or, more accurately said, who Melania Trump identified as the best selection.

There are four general aspects to the larger Trump legacy term that are starting to become very visible.  This is the era when political change starts to become visible in real terms.  We are all in the front row, on the cusp of a historic moment.

♦ The four generalized fronts are: (1) The economic front, which will be both domestic (Main St) and foreign (multinationals) as executed. (2) The IC/Justice front, which is inherently domestic. (3) The Legislative Branch front, this is where DOGE (Dept of Government Efficiency) comes into play; and lastly (4) The Dept of State confrontation with allies and enemies on all three other fronts.

Within #3, the legislative branch battle against the executive, this is where the spending issue, the purse strings, the power center dynamic over taxpayer distribution will be fought through the Dept of Government Efficiency, or DOGE led by Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and a few key allies in both the House and Senate.

Because the nature of the DOGE battle is centered around money, the root issue is ultimately who controls the power within Washington DC.  Control the money and you control the power.  Inside this battle over spending the historic dynamic of the UniParty will be visible.  Remember, Democrats want power, Republicans want money.

Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer have already started to position their defenses against DOGE and Trump {SEE HERE}.  The committee chairs and vice-chairs are selected to keep the power of control of spending away from DOGE/Trump.  Republican Chair Susan Collins, appointed by Thune/McConnell will not willingly let DOGE/Trump interfere in the way the Senate assigns funds. Ultimately this distribution is their power center.

DOGE is reported to be looking carefully at the Impoundment Control Act, challenging the system that places limits on a president’s ability to unilaterally withhold funding. According to Politico, Musk and Ramaswamy “believe the Supreme Court, which has three justices nominated by Trump, would be favorable to them.” The bottom line is the Executive v Legislative battle, where President Trump is going to try and reduce the size of government while congress keeps spending to maintain it.

“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”

“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

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 †
