The jaw-droppingly qualified “America First” Main Street economics team continues to be brilliantly assembled. It is now transparently obvious that Donald Trump has a very specific strategy to navigate the mine field created by three decades of Main Street erosion.
President-elect Donald Trump, announced Wednesday the head of the newly created White House National Trade Council: Peter Navarro, an economist who supports a hardline approach toward relations with China. Trump also named business mogul Carl Icahn a special adviser to the President on regulatory reform.
“I read one of Peter’s books on America’s trade problems years ago and was impressed by the clarity of his arguments and thoroughness of his research,” Trump said in a statement, possibly referring to Navarro’s 2011 book “Death By China.” (more…)
Do the math within the timeline provided in this story and you will find the substance for the headline. Since the 2009 Obama speech in Cairo we have discussed the consequences against the backdrop of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and the larger mid-east. Within the accompanying research and discussion – years ago Zurich Mike coined the phrase: “Obama killed the Mid-East Zookeepers, unlocked the big cat cages, and just walked away”… Ben Ali (Tunisia), Abdullah Salah (Yemen), Muamar Gaddaffi (Libya), Hosni Mubarak (Egypt). The Arab Spring Targets from Obama’s Cairo Speech The coded messaging within the June 2009 speech in Cairo was a message to the Middle East that America would no longer protect the various dictators, and it was safe to attack them. The Obama administration would accept their replacements, regardless of how they assumed power. The message (speech here) was transparently obvious to those who understood the ramifications.
Well….

(New York, NY)— President-elect Donald J. Trump today announced his nomination of U.S. Congressman Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina as Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Congressman Mulvaney brings a wealth of experience on economic, budgetary, and fiscal issues to his new role. Rep. Mulvaney has long been a strong voice in Congress for reining in out-of-control spending, fighting government waste and enacting tax policies that will allow working Americans to thrive.
Rep. Mulvaney believes getting America’s fiscal house in order is a key component of President-elect Trump’s America First plan to create millions of jobs and grow the economy. (more…)

With the specifics of this date and timing in mind, it is rumored that President Obama may deliver a message actually promoting the vast Russian election conspiracy.

It is somewhat funny, perhaps quizzically so, that people cannot see the mutually beneficial play amid the strong relationship formed between Donald Trump and Nigel Farage. Essentially and substantively, 2016 geo-political outcomes have become a game of teams: DemocraticNationalists -vs- Totalitarian Globalists.
Toward that end we see the globalist team getting crushed at each electoral occasion: (1. Brexit referendum, 2. Trump election, 3. Italian -Renzi- referendum); and we see the left-wing ideologues flailing around wildly, trying to regain their footing.
The latest visible globalist synergy is leftists within British Parliament blaming Russia for Brexit and Cameron’s defeat, while simultaneously the White House blames Russia for Trump’s victory and Clinton’s defeat. Despite the ridiculous nature of both claims, there is a unified globalist narrative there.
These outcomes are where Trump and Farage became the visible political face of the anti-globalist movement. As a direct result of voters the U.K. is forced to accept Brexit, and at some levels actually attempting to avoid implementing Brexit, ergo the power of a U.S. President (Trump) supporting the Brexit referendum is leverage for Mr. Farage.
Hence, a relationship based on “mutually beneficial leverage”…. (more…)
An interesting choice now presents itself for Democrat supporters, Tom Perez or Keith Ellison? The Bernie Sanders wing (Anarchists, RevCom, SJW) of the party supports Keith Ellison, the Obama/Clinton wing (Moonbat Limo-Liberals) will most likely support Tom Perez. However, both options are substantially far left.
Today Labor Secretary Tom Perez announces his intention to run for Chair of the Democrat National Committee. Perez launches a website –SEE HERE– toward that endeavor:
The last month hasn’t been easy for Democrats. But now isn’t the time to despair – it’s time to organize and fight. ~ Tom Perez
Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich delivers an exceptional presentation to the Heritage Foundation discussing “Trumpism”.
In typical Gingrich form he rips his way through the history of Donald Trump’s campaign for president while contrasting the various disconnects along the way. Very well worth the time to watch.

Anthony Scaramucci and Stephen Miller, executive members of President-elect Donald Trump’s Transition Team, appeared on Fox News for interviews. In a general sense the primary discussion points were Trump’s economic revitalization plans. Videos Below.
First, the Scaramucci interview. Pay close attentionat 01:30 of the first video to hear something CTH readers might be familiar with.
Perhaps, it’s fair to say this approach has become more than just “spidey sense” now. (more…)
