Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the architect of the Trump immigration enforcement structures.  Working diligently behind the scenes Kobach is constructing the actual mechanisms and actionable policies that will make President Trump’s policy proposals actually come into fruition.
Fortuitously, President Obama’s executive actions -as carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)- have created convenient lists of many illegal aliens.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), otherwise known as President Obama’s “Dreamers”, and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which targets the parents of the dreamers, has conveniently assembled a registration of names and addresses of unlawful aliens.
During President Obama’s press conference yesterday he was asked by a reporter if he could keep the list from the Trump administration.   President Obama responded by saying he hoped Trump would not overturn his executive actions on immigration.

“We are constantly told that the only two options are massive roundups [of illegal immigrants] or an amnesty. But attrition through enforcement is the third way. Change the individual decisions of particular illegal aliens, and they will decide to leave the country.” (link)  ~ Kris Kobach

Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News last night to counter the faux-controversy of the Trump appointments:

Based entirely on this interview segment it certainly appears that Laura Ingraham has been made an offer and is considering the ramifications:

The front of the story is that President Elect Donald Trump’s transition team requested security clearances for Donald Jr., Ivanka, Jerrod and Eric Trump.
The reason for the request is simple: in order to see the executive dossier’s and backgrounds of some governmental officials -who are under consideration for Trump administration positions- you must have a security clearance.
Almost everyone on the transition team needs a security clearance in order to see details of the candidate backgrounds.  It is no big deal, and has nothing to do with anything except the ability to review information, candidate experience, qualifications and provide an opinion.
However, that said – the bigger back story issue as outlined in this tweet from CBS is far more concerning. It would appear the Obama administration is leaking private discussions to CBS news:

Now ask yourself:

• who is the White House National Security Communications Director?
• And why would leaks be going to CBS News?

Newly appointed (President-Elect) White House Chief of Staff, Reince Priebus gives his first broadcast interview to ABC Good Morning America:

During the CBS 60 Minutes interview recorded on Friday afternoon, CBS correspondent Lesly Stahl badgered President-Elect Donald Trump about the false MSM narrative of Trump supporters intimidating people:

Lesley Stahl: Do you want to say anything to those people?
Donald Trump: I would say don’t do it, that’s terrible, ‘cause I’m gonna bring this country together.
Lesley Stahl: They’re harassing Latinos, Muslims–
Donald Trump: I am so saddened to hear that. And I say, “Stop it.” If it– if it helps. I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it.

Setting aside the ridiculous line of questioning, the issue surfaced: if the media was so concerned about Trump supporter violence, then why didn’t CBS release this interview segment on Friday evening instead of the ObamaCare segment they released?
Within the answer to that question you find out how the media constructs their manipulative narratives. (more…)

An angel on our shoulders !

This will not end well for shareholders of stocks in PepsiCo.  Macy’s business model collapsed after they took a similarly adversarial position toward candidate Donald Trump in 2015.  Now that Donald Trump has won the presidency, PepsiCo is following the same path as Macy’s.

Business organizations, and various boards of directorship, who hire these insufferable political activists within their corporations, are fools for allowing their shareholders to be put at risk by their Chief Executive Officers.

Trust me on this (we follow these impacts), regardless of whether or not you agree or disagree with Indra Nooyi sell any Pepsico stock asap.  If you have a 401K find out if it’s invested in PepsiCo and see if you can find a way out of it.

(Via Yahoo News) PepsiCo’s CEO said the election of Donald Trump as president was terrifying her employees.

“I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees. They were all in mourning,” PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi told Andrew Ross Sorkin at The New York Times’ DealBook conference on Thursday.

“Our employees were all crying,” she said. (more…)

The best frame of reference for people to filter this decision is the VP selection process when Mr. Trump selected Governor Mike Pence.  A similar set of decision making principles apply.   WARNING – new words again.
Traditionally (<– key word) the White House Chief of Staff is the liaison between the President and the various affiliated professional political types who wish to engage with the President.
However, Donald Trump is his own organizational person.
Little research and analysis has ever been given to how small the Trump circle is despite his massive private sector business operations.  This is one of those aspects entirely obvious to those who know the private sector, yet brutally overlooked by those talking heads entrenched in the beltway.
The Trump organization is massive in scope and scale, yet he ran the entire operation with only a few very tight inner-circle influences.   He is able to do this because Trump is simply a master of complex organizational dynamics.  The granules are in charge of the granular, and yet directly connected to the top of the pyramid.
