Trump's Cabinet

In the wake of Mr Trump's designation of his future Attorney General -- Trey Gowdy, we'd like to review the most desirable appointments to key Cabinet posts, with our rationale

[Disclaimer: we have no control over whom Trump selects]

President Trump, on assuming the Presidency, following a landslide victory not seen since Reagan's massive win against Jimmy Carter in 1980.  The voters, this time, demanded CHANGE -- i.e., throw out the rascals in the Oval Office and all of Obama's appointees an Socialist generals, and hopefully, evict all the Congresspersons and Senators who have allowed Obama and his cabal to run roughshod over the US Constitution, our citizens and our nation.

7)  Will restructure the State Department to rid it of Left Wing radicals and select professionals for all key positions, and promote deserving career diplomats for ambassadorships.
8  The worst nightmare for the DNC/GOP cabal if they attempt to assassinate Trump [as they did with Reagan].  Webb would nail each conspirator to the wall and restructure both the DNC and the GOP.

3)  He took on the mob, neutralized them, and somehow, he's still alive!
4)  Will eliminate the useless bureaucracy of 250,000 employees, cut the budget to realistic levels, and demilitarize DHS and eliminate its anti-American posture and redirect towards the external threat.
5)  Will eliminate DHS role in escorting illegals into the US, and reorient them to focus on neutralizing the illegal threat from within.

Attorney General:  
Trey Gowdy
1)  Demonstrated his intensity and tenacity in pursuing the Benghazi Hearings; fought off Boehner and Congressional pressure to force him to drop the investigation which would have revealed GOP complicity in the Administration's scheme.

We will designate potential candidates for other Cabinet [and supporting posistions] as they emerge.  
We removed:
a)  Paul Ryan as a candidate for the Secretary of the Treasury after watching him bow and scrape to Obama and turn against US citizenry by promoting legislation which would increase taxes and government spending for worthless government programs.
b) David Petraeous as Secretary of State given his appearance as a key new player in the Bilderberg conference, indicating that he has sold out to the New World Order.

b) We added Newt Gingrich as Secretary of Treasury based on his accomplishment as Speaker of the House in balancing the budget and creating welfare reform.

c) We removed Condoleeza Rice as a nominee for Secretary of State as it appears she has sold out to The Establishment, being one of the "50 National Security Experts" who condemned Trump.  She's in bad company there since most can easily be labeled as "other than experts" based on their hand-in-glove and very profitable relationships with Establishment elements, 

Feel free to recommend.

Gowdy Indicts Pentagon

Chair of the Benghazi SubCommittee Trey Gowdy

Click here for related story [Independent Journal - #Katie Papotin]

With the announcement that Presidential nominee Donald Trump will designate Congressman Trey Gowdy as his Attorney General, the attacks on Trump, Gowdy, and the Benghazi SubCommittee have begun in earnest by the White House, the Pentagon, and Hillary Clinton.

Now, we have presumed that Mr Gowdy would be the most logical choice for Attorney General since he has been fearless as the Chair of the Benghazi Subcommittee in pursuing his investigation of all parties involved, but most appropriately, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton based on her alliance with former Egyptian President Morsi, whose operatives attacked the US Consulate in Benghazi.
[we presume this since the Libyan Security Force protecting the Consulate leapt to the defense of the Consulate and, when they began firing on the assault force, the leader of the assault unit was caught on a Libyan security camera shouting in Arabic "Don't shoot!  Morsi sent us!"].

The lead on this Administration's assault against Gowdy came from Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs, Stephen C. Hedger, who condemned Gowdy's Benghazi Committee for the "... crescendo of new requests for witnesses and information on an 'unrealistic timeline'."

Spontaneous Demonstration

Keep in mind that the attack on the Benghazi Consulate occurred nearly four years ago, on 11 September 2012! during which four Americans -- to include US Ambassador Stevens were slaughtered.  This full military assault, complete with a 37mm anti-aircraft artillery gun mounted on  a pick-up truck, and roughly a dozen al-Qaeda operatives from Egypt, was immediately dubbed a "spontaneous demonstration" by Hillary Clinton and the White House.

Recall also that Secretary of Defense Panetta ordered US Commanders at the European Command, the African Command, and the Sixth Fleet  in the Mediterranean, all of whom attempted to respond immediately, to include one counter-terrorist ship parked just off the coast of Libya, were all ordered to "Stand Down"!  The Commanders of the Sixth Fleet and AfriCom were relieved of their commands by order of Mr Panetta, acting on directions from the Oval Office.

AC-130 Gunship

Of late, we have confirmed that there was both a drone and an AC-130 Gunship on site feeding live video of the attack back to the Pentagon's National Military Command Center [NMCC], the National Military Intelligence Center [NMIC], the White House Sit Room, the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research [INR], and every US Military command center in Europe -- all of which were ordered to "Stand Down".

Mr Panetta's excuse for these orders was that it would have taken at least 16 hours to deploy a rescue force from the US -- but he did not explain why he ordered the AC-130 and the drone overhead already at Benghazi which were fully prepared to intercede on an immediate basis -- to Stand Down.

Finally, the question of the whereabouts of President Obama during this crisis has been clarified; it has been reported that he was in Las Vegas at the gambling tables, doubling down, and couldn't be bothered with this attack which took the lives of two former SEALs, the Ambassador's bodyguard, and, the Ambassador.

But, wait! There's more.
As the facts have trickled out, we have learned that GOP senators and congresspersons were aware of the Administration's plot behind Benghazi [i.e., to kidnap the Ambassador in order to exchange him for the Blind Sheik -- a scheme by Mr Obama to ingratiate himself with the Muslim Brotherhood.

So, Congressman Gowdy's letter responding to the Pentagon seems appropriate, given these horrendous facts surrounding Benghazi:

Your claim “…intentionally mischaracterizes both the nature of the Committee’s investigation and its interaction with the Department of Defense.

It is also riddled with factual inaccuracies, which not only does a disservice to the public but also does a disservice to the women and men who work for the Department of Defense.”

Gowdy closes his letter by advising:

Your staff is welcome to waste taxpayer dollars writing partisan, factually deficient letters to out Committee, coordinate the language with House Democrats, and then leak it to the media. 

That is your prerogative. 

It will not prevent this Committee from interviewing all witnesses who can help us write the final, definitive accounting of what happened before, during , and after the attacks that killed four Americans in Benghazi and injured others. It will just prolong the investigation. I have been encouraged by too many soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines across the country to allow letters from political appointees to stop us.

Hillary:  What difference does it make!

 So, as we move into the final stages of the Presidential Election, we can understand why Mr Obama and his cabal, and Hillary Clinton are desperately fearful of the continuance of the Benghazi investigation and the facts it will reveal and publicize; but we also now grasp why the GOP is intent on derailing Mr Trump's bid for the Presidency -- knowing that, when he assumes office, Mr Gowdy will be appointed as Attorney General complete with a suitcase full of subpoenas including Hillary Clinton, Leon Panetta, Mr Obama, and perhaps, a number of senators and members of Congress.

We will monitor this process very closely; our worst fear at this point is that the risk to so many ranking government officials will lead to a Breitbart moment for Mr Trump, much the same as the GOP attempted to assassinate Mr Reagan in order to install Mr Bush in 1981.

Obama Returns Gitmo to Castro

Obama is giving Guantanamo back to Cuba

Click here for related article [The Hill: Krisitna Wong]

While we're distracted with electioneering, President Obama has been busily negotiating away Guantanamo.

But, but, but that's unconstitutional!

Now, those educated in the Constitution [e.g., Senator Cruz] will leap to the fore to state that mean old Barack Obama had better not negotiate a treaty with Cuba to return Gitmo to the Cubans.

Why, that would be unconstitutional, and EVERYONE who knows the Constitution KNOWS that the Prez absolutely, positively MUST consult with Congress and seek its permission before he engages in negotiating a treaty, or any kind of diplomatic engagement.

But, in reality, Obama needn't bother Congress with his current maneuvering.

I got three right.

At the moment, he's pressuring the review board examination of Gitmo prisoners to release more prisoners.

Over the next few months, the board will have released the majority of them, leaving a minimum group to be dealt with; and Obama doesn't have to have any visibility in the process.

I am omnipotent!

The moment of truth, however, will come when Obama dons his Military Commander in Chief hat, when he

1) Orders the Military to transfer the remaining Gitmo prisoners to Leavenworth Military Detention Barracks, and

2) Orders the Marine Commandant to ship back all Marines currently stationed at Guantanamo.

3) After a few weeks, Castro will fill the facility with Cubans, and it will become occupied territory by Cuban squatters.

4) Obama can  ignore Congress' demands to retake the facility until he leaves office on 20 January 2017, and his replacement would have to literally declare war on Cuba to retake the facility.

And Obama will have pulled off still another end-run around Congress.

It's a shell game, but wait and see.

Gitmo by 20 January 2017

This is how it will play out, and the US will have no further control of Gitmo, and Obama will have the last laugh.
