SWAMP DRAIN: Reince Priebus Given The Boot As President Trump Names Gen. John Kelly As Chief Of Staff

Reince Priebus lost his job just hours after the president’s signature drive to repeal his predecessor’s health care program collapsed on the Senate floor.

Reince Priebus, the establishment Republican-turned-loyalist to President Trump who served as his White House chief of staff for the last six months, was pushed out on Friday in the latest convulsion in a chaos-wracked West Wing to which he had repeatedly failed to bring some semblance of order.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Now that President Trump has put Anthony Scaramucci into his administration, heads are starting to roll. And it’s long overdue. There are many snakes in Trump’s apple barrels, and the two-faced Reince Priebus is one of them. Umm, make that was one of them. Good job, Mooch, keep it up. Many more creatures in the swamp that need letting out. 

Convinced that Mr. Priebus was not strong enough, Mr. Trump has been talking about bringing in “a general” as chief of staff and chose John F. Kelly, the retired Marine four-star general serving as secretary of homeland security. But some of his advisers oppose that idea, arguing that Mr. Trump needs someone more in tune with the nationalist political movement that helped propel him to the White House.

Mr. Priebus, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, lost his job just hours after the president’s signature drive to repeal his predecessor’s health care program collapsed on the Senate floor and a day after an ugly feud with the new communications director erupted in a public airing of the deep animosities plaguing the White House.

The announcement capped a fraught 24 hours in which the president’s advisers waited for a change they had long anticipated. Mr. Priebus accompanied Mr. Trump on Air Force One for a day trip to Long Island as his fate was being decided. Making for a tense flight, his rival, Anthony Scaramucci, the communications director who had publicly vowed to force Mr. Priebus’s resignation, was also on the plane and in the motorcade.

In barely half a year on the job, Mr. Priebus never won the full confidence of the president nor was granted the authority to impose a working organizational structure on the West Wing. Always seeming to be on the edge of ouster, Mr. Priebus saw his fate finally sealed a week ago when Mr. Trump hired Mr. Scaramucci, an edgy Wall Street financier, over the chief of staff’s objections. Mr. Priebus’s ally, Sean Spicer, the press secretary, resigned in protest.

More than just a personnel dispute, the disagreement suggested a broader cleavage that would lead to Mr. Priebus’ resignation. In tapping Mr. Scaramucci, Mr. Trump was turning to a wealthy New Yorker who had become part of his inner circle, and who compensated in charisma and rapport with Mr. Trump and his family for what he lacked in governing experience.

Mr. Priebus represented a more conventional breed of senior White House figure, chosen by the president despite a career defined by the calculations of traditional Republican Party politics, which Mr. Trump regards as part of “the swamp” he was elected to drain.

Anthony Scaramucci calls Priebus a ‘paranoid schizophrenic’

Did Anthony Scaramucci help to push Reince Priebus out the door? Yep, and it was long overdue.

Mr. Priebus and Mr. Spicer had told the president they believed Mr. Scaramucci, a gregarious hedge fund manager and fund-raiser, lacked the political experience and organizational skills required to serve in the role of communications director. In the end, however, those warnings fell on deaf ears and further soured Mr. Trump, who almost from the start suggested both publicly and privately that the job of his chief of staff was not safe.

Mr. Scaramucci made clear when he was hired that he did not report to Mr. Priebus but directly to the president and by Wednesday night was publicly suggesting that the chief of staff was a leaker and even threatened to seek an F.B.I. investigation. On Thursday, he went on television and dared Mr. Priebus to deny leaking and described the two of them as Cain and Abel, the biblical brothers whose rivalry results in one killing the other.

On Thursday evening, The New Yorker posted an interview with Mr. Scaramucci that included a profanity-laced tirade against Mr. Priebus. He called Mr. Priebus a “paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” who leaked information against him and vowed to get him fired. “He’ll be asked to resign very shortly,” Mr. Scaramucci said.

As party chairman last year, Mr. Priebus was slow to embrace Mr. Trump’s candidacy and the president, who sometimes called him “Reincey” in private, never let his chief of staff forget it. . Mr. Trump had often joked about his chief of staff’s long-term loyalty, and liked reminding the people around him that Mr. Priebus suggested that he consider dropping out after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape of Mr. Trump’s crude remarks about women were made public in October.

A native of Kenosha, Wis., Mr. Priebus rose through the ranks of the Republican Party to be his state’s chairman, amassing power by establishing relationships with party donors and becoming an effective operator within the national party, which he was chosen to lead in 2011. One of his top allies was a fellow Republican from Wisconsin, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, who publicly defended Mr. Priebus on Thursday when no one in the White House would.

With many former members of President George W. Bush’s administration unwilling to work for a president they regard as unqualified or blackballed because of their opposition to Mr. Trump’s candidacy last year, Mr. Priebus staffed the West Wing with an assortment of Republican veterans and some of his core staff at the R.N.C., including his former deputy, Katie Walsh. But the assimilation of the R.N.C. into the West Wing was fraught and Ms. Walsh and others departed.

Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, soured on Mr. Priebus, partly because of what he has viewed as Mr. Spicer’s shortcomings. Other senior advisers bristled at his demeanor or suspected he was undermining him. An alliance of convenience with Stephen K. Bannon, the nationalist and decidedly anti-establishment chief strategist, seemed to fade in recent weeks.

The jockeying to replace Mr. Priebus got underway even before his demise was official. Many of Mr. Scaramucci’s colleagues assumed he wanted the job, but he would have been controversial not just because of his foul-mouthed rant that included a vulgar attack on Mr. Bannon.

Originally a sharp critic of Mr. Trump as a candidate, he donated to and voted for Democrats like President Barack Obama and supported gun control, abortion rights and same-sex marriage, opposed the death penalty and criticized those who call climate change a hoax.

Some of Mr. Trump’s longtime supporter s also publicly questioned his interest in Mr. Kelly. “The president needs someone who understands the Trump constituency as his chief of staff, someone who has both administrative skills and political savvy,” said Roger Stone, Mr. Trump’s off and on adviser.

Other names that have been floated include Gary D. Cohn, the national economics adviser, and Dina Powell, the deputy national security adviser, both veterans of Goldman Sachs and close to Mr. Kushner and Ivanka Trump. source

Secretary of State Marco Rubio Says That Venezuela Will Begin Handing Over Up To 50 Million Barrels Of Oil Immediately And That It Will Continue Indefinitely

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Marco Rubio says the Trump administration on Wednesday will seek to assert its control over Venezuelan oil overseeing the sale of Venezuela’s petroleum worldwide.

Donald Trump is a one-man crusader to end narco-trafficking all by himself, with each boat they blew up saving 25,000 American lives with each strike. I’ll grant you, if true, that’s exciting stuff. But as Paul Harvey would say, “and now for the rest of the story.” Gone is all pretense of “ending narco-terrorism” and in its place an American oil orgy to the tune of 50 million barrels of the golden crude. And that’s just getting the party started.

And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.” Matthew 25:8 (KJB)

Now, I hate to say “I told you so”, but seriously, I told you this would happen, that it was never about narco-traffickers in drug boats, it was always about using a pretext to seize another nations oil. It breaks my heart seeing all the QAnon and MAGA (is there really a difference anymore?) Trump followers gleefully and dutifully falling down at Trump’s feet, issuing thunderous applause for all his authoritarian antics. People are going to one day wake up, but by the time they do, the time to have done something about what’s coming will be over. So go ahead and cheer on your king, but please have me excused. I’ll be the street preacher on the corner, warning the people about the coming judgment.

US seeks to assert its control over Venezuelan oil with tanker seizures and sales worldwide

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS: Trump’s administration intends to control the distribution of Venezuela’s oil products globally following its ouster of President Nicolás Maduro in a surprise nighttime raid. Besides the United States enforcing an existing oil embargo, the Energy Department says the “only oil transported in and out of Venezuela” will be through approved channels consistent with U.S. law and national security interests.

That level of control over the world’s largest proven reserves of crude oil could give the Trump administration a broader hold on oil supplies globally in ways that could enable it to influence prices. Both moves reflect the Republican administration’s determination to make good on its effort to control the next steps in Venezuela through its vast oil resources after Trump has pledged the U.S. will “run” the country.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that the oil taken from the sanctioned vessels seized in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea would be sold as part of the deal announced by Trump on Tuesday under which Venezuela would provide up to 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S.

The Trump administration, meanwhile, is “selectively” removing sanctions to enable the shipping and sale of Venezuelan oil to markets worldwide, according to an outline of the policies published Wednesday by the Energy Department.

The sales are slated to begin immediately with 30 million to 50 million barrels of oil. The U.S. government said the sales “will continue indefinitely,” with the proceeds settling in U.S.-controlled accounts at “globally recognized banks.” The money would be disbursed to the U.S. and Venezuelan populations at the “discretion” of Trump’s government.

The US seized a Venezuela-linked sanctioned oil tanker in the North Atlantic and a tanker in the Caribbean Sea on Wednesday — the latest seizures since beginning the campaign against Venezuela in early September. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said after a Trump administration briefing for senators that the U.S. has “tremendous leverage” over Venezuela and will control the proceeds from the sale of millions of barrels of oil to help stabilize the country.

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says That Trump Is Going To Make Greenland Part Of The United States And Use Military Force If They Resist

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller Says President Trump will make Greenland part of the United States to further its security interests

We warned you for the past two months that Donald Trump, on the pretext of fighting drugs, was going to take control of Venezuela to seize their oil reserves, that happened this past Saturday. Today we learned that Trump is going to make the American taxpayer foot the bill when he turns the whole thing over to Big Oil. But it gets worse. Breaking news tonight shows us Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller telling Jake Tapper on CNN that yes, Donald Trump is going to take Greenland.

For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)

Why does Trump want Greenland so badly? First, for its strategic importance given is close proximity to Russia. Second, Greenland and its territorial waters are believed to hold the equivalent of over 31 billion barrels of oil, more than the proven reserves of Qatar, Brazil and other major oil and gas powers. Trump has courted the oil industry with promises to “drill, baby, drill” — something that’s now effectively banned in Greenland, an autonomous region within the kingdom of Denmark that prizes its largely untouched environment. Third, Greenland is a storehouse of rare earth minerals, graphite, copper, nickel, gold, tungsten, uranium, Titanium-vanadium and others needed to satisfy the demand to fuel his 6G Memorandum and Stargate AI mandates. Greenland has these things, and Trump is going to take them and with military force if Greenland resists.

Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is not treating it like a joke. She said Trump should be taken seriously, adding that if the U.S. attacks a NATO country, “everything stops.” Frederiksen warning that a U.S. takeover would mean the end of NATO as we’ve known it. “If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” Mette Frederiksen told Danish television network TV2.

Miller said that it is the, and I quote, “the official policy of the Trump administration to take Greenland and make it a part of the United States”. Donald Trump is not only doing regime change and nation building, but he is combining Manifest Destiny and the Monroe Doctrine to begin the conquest of other nations. If you were wondering when the actual ramp up to WWIII was going to start, I think it just did.

Trump Tells Mexico He’s Coming For Them Next As US Navy P-8 Poseidon Spy Plane Conducts Surveillance And Reconnaissance Missions Over Tijuana

After launching a military strike on Venezuela, conqueror Trump now has US Navy P-8 Poseidon spy planes circling over Mexico

On our Podcast today, we dropped this stunning bomb: After conduction a military strike on Venezuela and capturing Maduro, Donald Trump has now set his sites on Columbia, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Brazil, Belize, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas and Mexico. Mexico may be next as US Navy P-8 Poseidon spy planes have been conducting Surveillance and reconnaissance missions over Tijuana. Go watch the Podcast for the whole story.

“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.” Psalm 55:21 (KJB)

One of the questions that comes to my mind is, after exerting the will of the American government over some or all of the nations on his conquest list, what happens when some other nation or nations decides they now see America as the threat, and come after us? The Danish prime minister has had enough of Trump’s threats and said “If the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop — that includes NATO and therefore post-World War II security,” No one with half a functioning brain thinks Trump is angling for peace threatening Greenland, his Imperialist appetite is readily seen by all. It’s funny, there used to be a difference between Trump’s QAnon supporters and his MAGA followers, but it’s nearly impossible to be able to make that distinction any longer. They wholeheartedly approve of his path to war, and are clamouring loudly for it. Trump water carrier Matt Walsh said “I totally support turning other countries in our hemisphere into subordinate vassals of the United States. That’s the very definition of an America First foreign policy.” What a jackassical thing to say, but guess what? All these people lusting for war going to get it, and they’re not going like it. History is a stubborn thing, go look at how well Imperialism worked out in the 20th century.

US spy jet mysteriously circles drug smuggling hotspot off Mexico’s coast as Trump threatens military action

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The P-8 took off from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington, flew through Oregon and California, made several loops off the Mexican coast and southern California, and then returned to base. Equipped with advanced sensors capable of detecting both surface and underwater targets, the P-8 is often used to monitor suspicious vessels and maritime movements.

The flight comes just days after Donald Trump issued a warning to Mexico over drug trafficking, suggesting a military action similar to one carried out in Venezuela over the weekend.

The President said drug cartels continue to dominate large parts of Mexico and criticized the government for failing to confront them decisively. ‘The cartels are running Mexico, whether you like it or not,’ he said. ‘It’s not nice to say, but the cartels are running Mexico.’

The aircraft’s flight path extended off the Southern California coast toward Baja California and Ensenada, Mexico, covering territorial waters and exclusive economic zones that begin near San Diego and Tijuana and stretch roughly 352 miles west into the Pacific Ocean.

The P-8A Poseidon can reach altitudes of up to 41,000 feet, fly at speeds of nearly 565 miles per hour, and stay airborne for long stretches thanks to an in-flight refueling system.

The fleet, which includes 174 aircraft and has logged over 700,000 flight hours worldwide, is built to endure harsh maritime conditions for up to 25 years. Boeing says the P-8 integrates advanced weapons and mission systems and can be quickly upgraded to meet evolving threats. READ MORE
