The media are claiming the attacks came from Ukrainian drones.  However, everyone understands the targeting and hardware for these drones is supplied by the U.S. and NATO forces.

Early this morning, timed to coincide similarly with the 911 attacks suffered by the United States in 2001, three waves of drones launched from Ukraine and hit residential buildings in Kazan, Russia.  Video quickly surfaced on social media of the drones targeting and exploding upon impact with the buildings.

Russia will retaliate.

Kazan is home to a strategic airbase for Russian long-range bombers.  There is also an explosive powder factory in the city. However, that’s not where the drones hit. The drones hit residential buildings.

Now, on one hand the way the drones flew into the region, and the eventual buildings they hit, could be interpreted as the drones did not use sophisticated targeting systems; at least that’s the argument the WEST would want to be used because that angle provides cover in saying that U.S-NATO provided satellite targeting was not used.

However, from my perspective the choice to hit residential buildings should not imply western guidance satellite systems were not used. The choice to target Kazan, the third largest city in Russia, and specifically the choice to target civilians in that region, is entirely intentional.  The NATO group want Russian citizens to feel like the USA did when the 9-11 terrorist attacks took place in New York, Pennsylvania and DC.

What I am saying is that NATO wants to create a bloodlust for revenge within the Russian people.  That is the way the U.S. and NATO get the escalation they desperately want. Unfortunately, this becomes a self-fulling prophecy because Vladimir Putin will attack Kiev, Ukraine with retaliatory strikes; he has no choice.

John Thune has announced the new Senate Republican Committee Chairs and Members. [WEBSITE]

Within the announcement, the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is Senator Tom Cotton.  This puts Senator Cotton together with Democrat Vice-Chair Mark Warner.  This appointment also puts Tom Cotton on the Intelligence Community “Gang of Eight.”

A position within the Gang of Eight comes as a result of holding one of the following eight positions: 1. The Speaker of the House, 2. The Minority Leader of the House, 3. the Majority Leader of the Senate, 4. the Minority Leader of the Senate, 5. the Chairperson of the House Permanent Committee on Intelligence, 6. the minority leader from the same committee; 7. The Chairperson of the Senate Intelligence Committee and 8. the minority leader of the same committee.

In March of 2016 an exclusive list of politicians, top tech executives, billionaires, donors and influence agents gathered at a secretive meeting with key leaders of the Washington DC UniParty.  The meeting was to discuss their plans to destroy Donald Trump.  The meeting took place at the exclusive enclave in Sea Island Georgia.

Over time, almost every single member of the Sea Island Group who attended that weekend meeting have detonated themselves in an effort to try and take down President Trump.  Just as the axiom ‘never trust a never Trumper’ has been proven true repeatedly, so too is the sentiment ‘just wait, if they attended Sea Island, they will eventually expose their intent to destroy Trump.’  [READ HERE]  Senator Tom Cotton was an attendee!

For those who walk the deep weeds of internecine politics, we notice there is an influential component of the Sea Island group still at work within the GOP.

The same Republican “conservatives” who voted to suspend the debt ceiling issue for Joe Biden (Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace et al), refused to stop the issue of the debt ceiling from surfacing during the Donald Trump administration.

At a certain point we must accept there are elements within the republican apparatus who intend to disrupt President Trump even though they present a false face.

The short-term spending bill has punted the issues of government funding into March 2025. The package passed 366-34, with the support of 196 Democrats and 170 Republicans.

The good news is that most of the hidden non-spending aspects were removed in the much shorter CR extension. The provisions which shielded the administrative state, approximately 1,000 pages of self-interested regulation, were removed. However, the debt ceiling conflict will rise again and could potentially present a problem because they will be attached to future legislative negotiations on Trump policy.

The House “Freedom Caucus” is essentially the voice and mechanism for the Sea Island group to disrupt MAGA plans and President Trump’s economic priorities. The Debt Ceiling is their legislative weapon, a false front technical issue to hide the Freedom Caucus intent. They justify standing against Trump by saying “fiscal conservatism”; but in reality, their history shows their vitriol only extends outwardly when Trump is in office.

The Sea Island multinational and banking group (traditional GOP control elements) are the financial backers of these anti-Trump schemes. The origin of their corporate opposition comes from the way they make money, which is not in alignment with the policy of President Trump.

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.

“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.”

Simultaneous to Washington DC debating how to fund government with an undertext of self-preservation and defense against Donald Trump’s arrival, we see a flock of tech CEOs rushing to talk to President Trump at Mar-a-Lago.

The latest arrival to the southern White House is Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (AWS), who hedged his bets too long and was late in supporting President Trump before the election.  This has put Bezos in a position of riding his bicycle in slow circles at the end of the driveway while Musk (xAI), Ellison (Oracle) and Thiel (Palantir) have full access ‘insider’ passes along with their ally Vice-President Elect JD Vance.

NEW YORK POST – Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was seen sauntering into Mar-a-Lago late Wednesday night to have dinner with President-elect Donald Trump.  Bezos walked in with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez for their first dinner with Trump since the soon-to-be 47th president won re-election.  Trump had said last week that Bezos would visit him at his Florida mansion.

The billionaire is just one of the tech executives hoping to get in Trump’s good graces before inauguration. Bezos had informed Trump’s team that he would donate $1 million to his inaugural fund, according to the Wall Street Journal.  (read more)

Apple CEO Tim Cook and META CEO Mark Zuckerberg were previous guests at Mar-a-Lago for tech meetings before Bezos.  Heck, all that’s needed now is for Bill Gates to show up and a wormhole revealing a parallel universe is likely to open.   However, all kidding aside, what we are witnessing is something extraordinarily unique, a timeline and confluence of events with great consequence.

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 Senate Armed Services Committee follows a tradition of the Chair and Vice-Chair reviewing the FBI report on Defense Secretary nominations, and then bringing the nomination to a full committee hearing and vote.

However, in an unprecedented move being discussed the Chairman Jack Reed, of Rhode Island, and the ranking member from Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, are debating releasing the FBI report on Pete Hegseth to the full committee, thereby positioning the FBI report to be leaked to media.

Keep in mind, this is an “FBI investigative report,” and we already know the history of how the FBI uses their investigative authorities to influence, change and manipulate political outcomes.  If we drop the pretending, the FBI is a weaponized agency of DC government with the expressed intent to protect the interests of DC.

The only reason to widely distribute the FBI background investigation of Hegseth is so that someone can leak it to media.

WASHINGTON DC – At least a dozen senators are pushing to see the FBI’s background check on Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s embattled pick for Pentagon chief — a rare move for the committee that oversees his confirmation and a sign the former Fox News host still faces hurdles in the Senate.

Unlike some other committees, the Senate Armed Services usually limits access to these types of background checks to its two lead senators. But pressure is building from both Democrats and Republicans to provide more lawmakers with the ongoing report, whose contents could determine whether Hegseth makes it to the Pentagon.

“It would be helpful, given the allegations that have been lodged against Mr. Hegseth, to be able to see the FBI background check,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a potential swing vote on Hegseth, said in an interview.
