After some early confusion on timing, Trump is finally set to receive his "intelligence" briefing from the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey later this afternoon.  The meeting comes just one day after the same three people briefed the Senate's Armed Services Committee on their "Russian Hacking" discoveries, which actually turned out to be nothing more than a repeat of the numerous allegations leaked to the mainstream media by "anonymous sources" over the past three weeks.

Remember when back in April we showed a strange map of the Iranian oil tanker armada, which according to Windward data was storing as much as 50 million barrels offshore, yet which was just sitting on anchor going nowhere?

As a reminder, Iran has lacked sufficient land storage facilities to store its oil and, to enable it to keep pumping crude, has relied on its tanker fleet to park excess stocks until it can find buyers.

A senior Jordanian official has warned Donald Trump of “catastrophic” repercussions if he decides to honor his campaign pledge to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds. Back in September, Trump promised the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel’s undivided capital if he won the the US presidential election.

As it began so it will finish.

Putting the exclamation point on a trend that has marked Obama's entire presidency, in the final Obama jobs report, the BLS announced that the total number of people not in the labor force grew once more, rising by 18,000 in December, and a whopping 841,000 in the past three months, to a new all time high of 95.102 million Americans no longer in the workforce.

CNBC Political reporter, friend of Hillary, and Democratic Party sycophant John Harwood took to Twitter last night to ask:

"Who do you believe America? Wikileaks, or US Intel Officials?"

The response is yet another slap in the face for the establishment's perspective on how the world should really run...

And that Mr. Harwood is why Donald Trump is about to become President! When will you and your ilk wake up to this?
