I think something else is brewing. I can't get too involved in the soap opera of the appointments because I think it is mostly just Trump quickly assuming the high ground of his election for the eyes of the public with various odd flushing campaigns and weird optics.

The Globalists and their emplaced treasonistas have some series of catastrophes still afoot, and a point will be reached when a hobnail boot needs to be put down on them hard. What that is and when would be anybody's guess, but heavy turbulence ahead. More uncertainty, more horror drama, more false flags, etc. etc. They are obviously desperate enough to force the WWIII gambit wholesale and run the population off the cliff doing it. The demolition project of the Republic and the Constitution and the Republic and the initiation of WWIII has a few more months in power and the Satanic forces will prolong their powers as long as possible.

The Globalist wedgies in the appointments must have some strategy associated. Or one would hopium from the bleachers, and all these characters can be reshuffled in short order anyway.

More Trump Effect. Yesterday, Reuters ran a story headlined, “Wall St closes higher; small-caps hit record high after Trump nominates Bessent.” As the market’s reaction to his nomination as Treasury Secretary showed, Scott Bessent is highly qualified. He’s smart, he is a heterodox thinker, and became a quiet Trump supporter since before it was safe to do so. The biggest problem is that Scott managed one of George Soros’s many investment companies between 2011-2015. Scott worked for Soros even longer than that, and enjoyed a warm personal relationship with the far-left billionaire.

As ever, the situation is not as simple as it looks. Claims circulated on social media that Elon Musk strongly opposed Bessent’s nomination. If so, Elon was more diplomatic in his only public comment:




... Citing a Wall Street Journal article, conservative journalist and author Miranda Devine (700K followers), called Bessent a “quiet disrupter” who quit working for Soros in 2015 when he could no longer avoid the politics, and said the two men have not spoken for years.

You will be disappointed by this administration. I see all tell-tale sign that Trump is just kept to dismantle MAGA by demoralizing them.
In two years it will be very clear.

Jay Bhattacharya will be the next NIH Director, and health research policy will be better off for it.

Jay’s nomination by President-Elect Trump to be Director of the National Institutes of Health has been a long time coming and is a hopeful signal that national health research policy is headed in the right direction.

I agree.

It's weird that Trump would nominate both Nesheiwat for SG and Bhattacharya for NIH, people who are at opposite ends of the Pfizer pfellation spectrum.

I just don't know how to interpret that contradiction.

Watching Fauci’s subtle and not so subtle insubordination, I realized that the Deep State had succeeded in taming Donald Trump by hemming him in with a public health emergency and supplanting his executive power by Rule of Medical Experts. ...

Now the real question is whether Trump will—after he is sworn in—change his tune and proclaim that he is open to considering the evidence that Fauci et al. sold him a bill of goods.

It's pretty obvious that Trump even now is still fully owned by Pfizer, with comments like this just a few days ago when appointing pharma-shill Nesheiwat:

During the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked on the front lines in New York City treating thousands of Americans and helped patients in the aftermath of President Donald Trump's Historic Operation Warp Speed that saved hundreds of millions of lives.

To Trump's credit (at least in terms of consistency), he never backed away from his COVID vaccine boosterism during the primaries. People like me were complaining about it at the time and we were largely ignored.

You can scan Substack and you’ll see an array of arguments against Trump’s picks, and many for good reason. There are dubious pharmaceutical ties, previous statements and beliefs, and a history of disconcerting actions, to say the least.

But the fact remains, the enemy is scared, and in the case of the recent NIH nominee, Jay Bhattacharya, there is a clear distinction between those who want one thing and those who want a totally different, draconian, life-controlling, life-sapping, other thing.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins (who has cavalierly dismissed excess deaths due to the jab) do not like Bhattacharya in particular, thanks to his “Great Barrington Declaration” that has received 940,000+ signatures to date.

Illuminati wars are interesting, because infiltrations go in both directions with the double, triple agents. I think Q said that we won't be able to sort out all the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys' until the real war is quelled.

Also, cabinet may or may not be somewhat irrelevant if the treasonistas do attempt either 1. a Fourteenth Amendment assaullt on Trump based on their fictitious promulgated and false flagged Jan. 6. 2. or, butthurt that their 20 million extra fraudulent votes were headed off at the pass (apparently Post Office (Freemasons) was responsible for these, but were nixed under threat by the Trump cogeners for 2024 in some manner, allowing Trump to defeat the 'ordinary' election fraud) and try to claim 2024 was fraudulent. If that's the case, it's like a courtroom blooper where they open up a sealed path of inquiry due to a lawyer asking the wrong question, and it opens up the 2020 election again to examination on the same grounds.

There is also the 'Brunson Case', which if upheld and published, means that the Supreme Court basically authorizes all those Congress critters who did not allow the ten day resting period to examine the allegations of fraud in 2020 to be remanded from office more or less instantly for violating their obligations to the Constitution. It also may mean an instant shift to military tribunals.
Who knows but the Woo. Extreme turbulence ahead.

Trump names loyalist Kash Patel to serve as FBI director

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America’s premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived “conspirators.” It’s the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees.

“I am proud to announce that Kashyap “Kash” Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. “Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and ‘America First’ fighter who has spent his career exposing corruption, defending Justice, and protecting the American People.”

Lol, I sure hope he gets confirmed.

Trump picks billionaire Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trump’s father-in-law, as advisor on Middle East and Arab affairs

President-elect Donald Trump announced Sunday that he will tap his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law Massad Boulos as his Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern affairs.

“Massad is an accomplished lawyer and a highly respected leader in the business world, with extensive experience on the International scene,” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social.

“He has been a longtime proponent of Republican and Conservative values, an asset to my Campaign, and was instrumental in building tremendous new coalitions with the Arab American Community,” he added.

Boulos, who was born in Lebanon, runs Nigeria-based Boulos Enterprises, which produces and distributes mechanical equipment and motorcycles. His net worth is estimated in the billions of dollars, according to reports.

He's Greek Orthodox.

💉💉💉

I was sorely tested yesterday when news broke of President Trump’s nomination to head the Drug Enforcement Agency: Florida Sheriff Chad Chronister. During the pandemic, Sheriff Chronister arrested Tampa Pastor Dr. Ronald Howard-Browne, who defied Florida’s short lockdown order and held several religious services anyway.

Sheriff Chronister also enforced a local covid curfew, and ordered punitive policies aimed at coercing unvaccinated deputies under his command to get the shots.




On the other hand, he may not have enforced all laws as enthusiastically as the covid laws. In at least one local news story, reporters indirectly quoted Sheriff Chronister as promising to focus on “public safety” rather than federal immigration laws. He didn’t come right out and say he wouldn’t help deport illegals, apparently, which was smart because that kind of thing, promising not to enforce the law, can get you removed from office in Florida.

Though vowing to focus on public safety, Chronister did release 165 ‘low level, non-violent’ prisoners during covid.

As to his politics, Chronister apparently donated $15K to Obama’s campaign, but more recently endorsed Governor DeSantis during the Republican primary, so he’s likely now a Republican. Still, Chronister is not well-liked by local conservatives who call him a woke Democrat plant. This Twitter thread helpfully rounds up a long list of anti-Chronister information.

I get it; Sheriff Chronister only enforced the laws at the time. We celebrated as heroes those Sheriffs who (rightly, in my view) refused to enforce what they concluded were unconstitutional laws. There may be more to the story; this Twitter poster claims Sheriff Chronister went back to the church and publicly apologized.

Apology or no, Sheriff Chronister was no covid hero. But more than that, Chronister’s covid policies alone raise serious questions whether he is ideologically aligned with the incoming Trump Administration.

As the more controversial Trump nominees have occasionally cropped up, I’ve repeatedly encouraged GTMTTW (give the man time to work). Now, I’ve been forced to take my own advice, which is pretty bitter. If I were in the Senate, I would vote not to confirm Sheriff Chronister.

I’ve said my piece, and I won’t make a song about it — I will assume Trump has a good reason for selecting this person for DEA, or maybe Chronister really has changed. But we don’t have to like it. During his confirmation hearings, Sheriff Chronister should be required to answer for his own words and decisions.

And he should have to wear a mask the whole time.

Trump’s DEA pick – who locked up a pastor during COVID-19 pandemic – withdraws from consideration after conservative backlash

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Drug Enforcement Agency announced Tuesday that he will not take the job following conservative backlash to his nomination.

Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister – described by some conservatives as a “COVID tyrant” – bowed out just three days after being selected by Trump to lead the nation’s primary agency for combatting illegal drugs.

Chronister’s record as Hillsborough County sheriff – particularly at the height of the COVID-19 – came under scrutiny soon after his nomination.

On March 30, 2020, Chronister ordered the arrest of Ronald Howard-Browne, the pastor of The River at Tampa Bay Church, for allegedly flouting COVID-19 lockdown orders by holding services at his church.

Good, but not good enough. That fucker must be tried for his crime against that church.

DOGEWontAmountToShit says

Jesus Christ. Do the Republicans want to end up like the Dems??? Their party is in shamble potentially for a decade (D's). There's no Barrack Obama in the bullpen. There was a mandate with the clean sweep. Shut the fuck up and allow these nominations.

I do respect Gaetz backing down, likely to get the Rubio senate seat. That's playing as a team. Republicans better wake up or they're fucked in 2026 at the congressional level.

Patel has prosecuted far more cases than Kamala. He also got a shitload of convictions against spies and terrorists.

And an award... from the Obama admin for his successful high profile national security related prosecutions

Conservatives are nowhere near ready to forgive public servants who, though they may only have been doing their duty and following the law, they still revealed much too much enthusiasm for pandemic authoritarianism. Like it or not, good or bad, the pandemic was, is, and forever will be a kind of litmus test. It’s partly an ideological test, but it’s mostly a test of character.

Chronister’s career evidenced all the hallmarks of a woke, lifelong Democrat who recently switched parties out of bare political calculus, so he could not pass an ideological test. In the final analysis, though, Sheriff Chronister failed the character test. It wasn’t just the pastor he arrested. Chronister exuberantly embraced all the obscene, anti-scientific, dictatorial tools supplied by the federal government and corporate media. He’s never apologized or even claimed to have changed his viewpoint. ...

This story is important, not because Trump’s transition team withdrew a bad candidate and smartly yielded to quiet conservative pressure. Rather, this story is a morality tale about accountability and justice over people’s decisions during covid, with a side dish about how transformative social media has become, since Chronister’s offensive covid record would have been concealed by corporate media just a few years ago.

There’s zero appetite to let things go, forgive and forget, or Move On. The absence of any official accountability for pandemic excesses has created an abhorrent vacuum of intense frustration that nature has filled with a vast, informal army of volunteer enforcers, both individuals and conservative groups. It’s a kind of unorganized covid reconciliation movement.

For example, the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association opposed Chronister’s nomination, saying it was “shocked and dismayed” by his selection because of his enforcement of covid mandates. Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and others tweeted their concerns about Chronister, calling him competely disqualified.

This is only a tiny drop of justice when we are owed gallons and gallons of it.

The plandemic crimes against humanity must not go unpunished.

Yesterday, the San Fransisco Chronicle ran a terrific story headlined, “Trump taps culture warrior and S.F. attorney Harmeet Dhillon to lead Office of Civil Rights.” Harmeet was one of the most energetic and effective covid lawyers during the pandemic. We crossed paths a few times, even though between Florida and California, we lived in completely different worlds. Beyond covid, Harmeet helped with Trump’s elections lawsuits, helped run California’s GOP, and much more.

On Monday, Trump announced Harmeet’s nomination in a social media post saying, “Throughout her career, Harmeet has stood up consistently to protect our cherished Civil Liberties, including taking on Big Tech for censoring our Free Speech, representing Christians who were prevented from praying together during COVID, and suing corporations who use woke policies to discriminate against their workers. Harmeet is one of the top Election lawyers in the Country, fighting to ensure that all, and ONLY, legal votes are counted.”

The Libs of BlueSky were appalled, variously calling Harmeet “anti-trans,” an “election denier,” anti-abortion, a “MAGA darling,” and “an existential threat to all civil rights, especially trans rights.” They really dislike that Harmeet represented influential detransitioner Chloe Cole or that Harmeet’s website links other detransitioner lawsuits against fraudster doctors.

Harmeet, an Indian-American, is involved in many high-profile cases, and you probably never even knew it. For instance, she represents Portland anti-antifa investigator reporter Andy Ngo.

Harmeet will replace Biden’s appointee, Kristen Clarke, who is the one responsible for prosecuting all the abortion center protestors under the so-called “FACE Act.” I note, without comment, that the FACE Act can also be used to prosecute people who vandalize pregnancy support centers. Harmeet might want to take a look at that.

"Nearly 100 former national security officials 'alarmed' at prospect of Gabbard leading intel community"

this is not what it looks like.

no one expects this to affect her hearings.

it's not intended to head off tulsi.

it's a way for 100 guilty people (and by extension other people like them) who were always likely to be investigated for their possible past misdeeds to try to make a case it's political retaliation when people start asking questions about what they got up to and for whom.

see it now that the cups are clear?

this is going to be the go to playbook for the next 4 years:

any investigation into past actions and activities of the people who weaponized state agencies for political or institutional purposes will be cast as trump "using justice and intelligence to attack his political enemies."

it's just the next round of psyop from the people who do psyops for a living, an attempt to frame holding people accountable for their persecution of political enemies as “persecution of political enemies.”

it's inversion and projection.

miss this frame and voila, those who victimized you are the victims here.

Trump can fire anybody he wants, thanks to Sean Spicer | Paul Bedard, Washington Examiner

President-elect Donald Trump is arriving at the White House armed with a legal weapon that will let him fire any of President Joe Biden’s appointees.

Thanks in part to a court fight former Trump White House spokesman Sean Spicer lost over his firing by Biden from a three-year term to the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy, the incoming president will have the legal backing to dump any of Biden’s over 4,000 appointments who try to stick around.

And the best part, Spicer told Secrets, “They’ll have no one to blame but Biden himself.”

The case dates to Sept. 8, 2021, when Biden began to fire Trump allies from the visitor boards at the academies of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Army.

Spicer and others, including Russ Vought (just picked by Trump to head the Office of Management and Budget) and former Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway, were unceremoniously dumped despite several of them having time left on their three-year terms.

Spicer and Vought sued, saying that unlike White House staff or others appointed by a prior president, they couldn’t be fired because of their congressionally mandated terms.

They lost, however, when a judge essentially ruled that the president could fire any presidential appointee, whether they had terms or not. A further effort failed, too.

Spicer said that is exactly what he hoped the courts would do because he wanted to help a future Trump presidency fire Biden’s picks without having its hands tied.

“What no one ever understood was this was not about actually getting back on the board, because my term had been expired for months. It was forcing them to argue in the affirmative that they had the ultimate authority to fire anybody at any time, which they did. And the court accepted that. So the Biden administration is now on record in court, and the court agreed that the president had absolute authority to fire anyone he wants,” Spicer said in an interview.
