Is White House Chief Of Staff Ron Klain The 'Real Power' Behind The U.S. Presidency?


The Hill:
GOP says Ron Klain pulling Biden strings 

Republicans are attacking White House chief of staff Ron Klain as “the guy behind the curtain” and “Prime Minister Klain” as they try to push back on someone they see as formidable opponent in the battle over President Biden’s agenda. 

The GOP blames Klain for Biden’s refusal to negotiate the price down on his $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, an approach they say conflicts with Biden’s campaign pledges. 

“We’ve gotten the impression from our members that have been in meetings down there that he’s kind of the guy behind the curtain,” said Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.).

WNU Editor: The White House narrative is that this is the Biden-Harris administration, and that both are involved in making major decisions .... Kamala Harris has a big role in Biden's administration — and a new report may explain why (Raw Story). But the reality is different, especially when it was learned that Vice-President Harris was left out of the White House decision to bomb an Iranian-backed militia camp in Syria. 

So who are the major players in the Biden administration, and is White House Chief Of Staff Ron Klain the second most important person after the President?

In my opinion the answer is yes. 

First things first ... Ron Klain is the White House Chief of Staff, and the gate-keeper to the President. 
Besides being the White House Chief of staff, he also holds the title of personal assistant to the President. That in itself is an incredibly important title and position. 

He is also someone that the President deeply trusts. After-all, they have been working together for almost 30 years. 

Besides his title and position in the White House, I have also noticed that in every major public meeting and announcement involving President Biden, Ron Klain has always been present. I have also noticed that President Biden is always looking at his wife Jill Biden, or at his White House Chief of Staff. My gut tells me that these are the people that he takes his direction from.

Bottom line. If I was a lobbyist or someone who wants something from the White House. I would not bother with the President or Vice-President. I would want a meeting with Ron Klain or with one of his assistants. 

I am also following him on twitter. Like President Trump when he was in office, Ron Klain's page on Twitter (link here) is the place to go if you want a heads-up on what to expect next from the White House.

Update: CNN agrees with my analysis .... Ron Klain emerges as a force behind the scenes -- and on Twitter (CNN).

Well worth the reading time. WNU is reading the tea leaves very well. No sarcasm intended.

Biden: Strikes in Syria sent warning to Iran to ‘be careful’

So Joe Biden or somebody sent a message. They blew up some double wides and killed 22 combatants?

Did Tehran get the message?

"Rockets land at Iraqi air base hosting U.S. forces"

"At least 10 rockets landed on Wednesday at Iraq’s Ain al-Asad air base that hosts United States, coalition and Iraqi forces, the Iraqi military said.

It was the second rocket attack in Iraq this month and came two days before Pope Francis is due to visit the country."

I don't think Khameini or the IRGC is scared of Joe Biden, Dr. Jill or Ron Klain. Ron was very nice. He freed of $ 7 billion in frozen assets in South Korea. Khameini is much appreciative and will buy some more rockets.



Here is an interesting excerpt from the first linked article.

"At the Pentagon, Kirby said the operation was “a defensive strike” on a waystation used by militants to move weapons and materials for attacks into Iraq."

The way stations have been used the Assad government to attack US troops in Iraq since 2003. That coupled with Syria killing Americans in Lebanon in the 1980;s and R2P for the Kurds and others is the US's carte blanche to be in Syria. Having valid reasons for being in Syria is not the same as the US should be there. You should never have an army in the field unless you are willing to use it and it does not mean piecemeal or hogtied. It means that not only VIP's in DC are behind it, but the people. So pull them out unless you are going to make a case until the Antiowar.com rallies get very small.

typical post that averts the full story to make Biden look bad. Failure on your part:

"For now, the hyper-visible role Klain has assumed -- both on Twitter and in frequent television appearances -- seems to be in service of the President's agenda. But there is always a risk of a chief of staff coming to "love the chief part of the title but not the staff part as much," according to Whipple.

"There's always the potential that the chief of staff becomes the prime minister, or thinks he is," he said. "So far I don't see that."

This is how Trump could start World War III

https://thehill.com/opinion/national-security/354994-this-is-how-trump-could-start-world-war-iii

The fact is the MSM, liberals and other bottom feeding turd eaters have shrilly declared that Trump would start a war that it hamstrung him. Every last RINO that criticized Trump behind the scenes was hat in hand begging for a job in 2017, while excoriating him in public. People who did this were Cindy McShaim, Romney and others.

Meanwhile Khameini keeps plinking away and sooner or later eh will get lucky. Rocket attacks have not stopped. FACT. Ballistic Missiles from Iran have stopped coming, but not rocket attacks. This is how we "know" Joe is "in charge." The rocket attacks have not stopped.

Neither will the IEDs. All the armor in the world cannot save you, if they flip the vehicle. If you can flip an M1A1, you can flip a humvee or MRAP.

I heard that Ron Klain had a great but extremely short speech written for Joe to read off of TOTUS ... with Jill's assistance of course.

Thang is that Joe wandered off. People dementia do that and then police issue amber alerts. So assuming that Joe is found before hypothermia gets him in the woods somewhere, he will be found and we will have out virtual SOTU filmed at an undisclosed medical facility at an unknown time and date and who knows how many takes and retakes spliced together.

Little Bird told me that George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic had been contracted full time to help out with Joes virtual speeches. They must need a lot of magic at the White House.

American Proverb:

You only see Vultures, the Grim Reaper and Jill, when you are on the DNR list.

Jill does have an amazing ability to hover. Hawker Siddeley contracted with her on how to improved their next generation VSTOL.


Mama is pulling the moolah now!

you make yourself look both ignorant, classless, and of shabby DNA when your comments are nothing but Trumpian name calling rather than comments presenting facts, point of views

It is a fact that Joe Biden has not given a SOTU address.

"The address fulfills the requirement in Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution for the President to periodically "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."


Dementia Joe has signed, scrawled really, his John ?Henry on EO after EO, but no SOTU.

There has to be Betting on if he will ever actually give one in Las Vegas betting markets.

QANON at the root is the belief that pedophile politicians rule the world.

A look at the Jeffrey Epstein guest list of the pedophilia scandals of the British government involving many individuals, where would people evah get this idea?

Yu going to argue that Jeffrey was innocent bro?
