Title: POTUS 47 - Second Trump Term Thread
Post by: Libertas on November 07, 2024, 09:11:23 AM
Seems fitting to kick this off with the work already done by Sundance at CTH...

Suggestions For President Donald Trump Staffing of Key Positions 2025
November 6, 2024 | Sundance | 403 Comments

Grab your favorite beverage, this is long.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/06/suggestions-for-president-donald-trump-staffing-of-key-positions-2025/

Pretty close to what he's written about on this subject earlier...but I would caution against picking anybody from the 119th Congress, unless from a state with a MAGA friendly Governor who will agree to backfill a seat with a good MAGA supporting candidate.

Gotta long way to go, a lot of heavy work ahead and getting the right team together is just Step #1 of a thousand steps!

Onward Christian soldier!

WH CoS selected -

The first selection by President Trump, highlighting his team to enter the White House, has been made.  President Trump selects Susie Wiles to be his Chief of Staff in the White House.  Mrs Wiles will be the first female White House Chief of Staff in history.

As for this....

...I don't see Trump treading to hard on Senate business...I think he knows his agenda and his success is their success in their little collegial fiefdoms and their prosects for retaining them in the Mid-Terms...

Richard Gere said he is selling his $11M CT home and leaving the US bc Trump was elected. I always liked him. I hope he has lots of company in such people that leave.

I first saw Gere in Days of Heaven and last in Norman. I loved both movies. Gere is from Syracuse.

For any movie fans, here are the trailers. Both are tragic movies.
When the trestle scene appeared the movie theater audience gasped.

And it appears Trump has selected Elise Stefanik as UN Ambassador....which I hope doesn't eff up House control...but at current 214-203 and 18 undecided but going by safer margins vs thinner margins at worse it might break something like 222-213, so s/b fine...but we cannot put many seats at risk with appointments.

...

Scots Irish, how so?  I got one of those swimming in my genes...probably explains this kind of behavior...
...

The Scots Irish are known for their over representation in the US military. The Romans never civilized the Scots who preferred feuds and fighting. The Brits forced many to move to Ireland to undermine the Catholics/Anglicans. Sen Webb wrote a book on them titled "Born Fighting." 

Key Points Summary:

    The Scots-Irish are descendants of Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland (Ulster) in the 17th century and later emigrated to the United States.
    They were integral to the development of the American frontier, especially in Appalachia and the South.
    They had a significant influence on American music, religion, and political culture.
    Today, many people of Scots-Irish descent are part of broader Anglo-American or Appalachian communities in the U.S.

Several U.S. Presidents are of Scots-Irish (or Ulster Scots) heritage, reflecting the significant migration of Scots-Irish people to America, especially in the 18th century. Here are the presidents with notable Scots-Irish ancestry:
1. Andrew Jackson (7th President)

2. Thomas Jefferson (3rd President)

3. James Knox Polk (11th President)

4. Abraham Lincoln (16th President)

5. Ulysses S. Grant (18th President)

6. Woodrow Wilson (28th President)
7. Lyndon B. Johnson (36th President)

8. Richard Nixon (37th President)

9. Bill Clinton (42nd President)

Ahh yes, you triggered a memory now...

IIRC the Scots-Irish and Scot and Irish...presence in the US military seems to have increased right about the time the civil war broke out...it really was brother vs brother, immigrant vs immigrant...

Q - JFK just Irish, not Scots-Irish?  Thought Clinton & Tip O'Neil were also just regular Irish.  So, was Mel Brooks painting with too wide a brush about the Irish in Blazing Saddles?   ::laughonfloor::

Already e-mailed my one Senator who is supporting Thune,  yesterday,  and voiced my disapproval in her not supporting Scott (Blackburn--Hagarty supports Scott).  And am encouraging others of like mind to do likewise.  Keep it short and sweet,  firm but polite.

We can make a difference if enough people let their voices be heard.

He left out Andrew Johnson:
Andrew Johnson was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, on December 29, 1808, to Jacob Johnson (1778–1812) and Mary ("Polly") McDonough (1783–1856), a laundress. He was of English, Scots-Irish, and Scottish ancestry.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Johnson

Even though a southern democrat,  he remained loyal to the Union,  and his home county (Greene) in Tennessee even led a push involving several east Tennessee counties,  to secede from Tennessee when Tennessee seceded from the Union.

My only GOP Sen is already a Scott supporter, so I am thankful for that, those with Senators in other states not yet supporting Scott really need to weigh in and urge all their friends and family to do so if they are able!

Yup, as always, spot on.  Repealing the 17th Amendment would be a good start, then the battleground would shift to the States and hopefully enough of a firewall driven by the will of sane people would hopefully carry the majority against the minority elitists...term limits would also help...and a general returning to the states of host of things the Fed govt and its bloated ever-expanding bureaucracy was never meant to be driving!

Did a good job covering the other selections Trump made too -

Waltz at NSA - Like many others, heck, almost all others, Mike Waltz believes the IC system is inherently good, just under the control of bad actors.
.
.
.
We REALLY need to watch the White House Counsel selection closely now.

Trump will have to execute strong oversight on him and exert his authority when needed...and if he doesn't obey he has to be prepared to fire him and fine someone better.

Ratcliffe for CIA Director - https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/12/president-trump-announces-nomination-of-john-ratcliffe-to-cia-director/

Has a chance to be a change agent, or at least be willing to be transparent in calling out BS when he sees it.  Guess we'll see, most of the declassification roadblocks originated here in term 1.

McGinley as WHC - For Term-2 that recent SCOTUS decision and affirmation will play a significant part in a change of tone that should allow the White House Counsel to be less cautious about the office itself.  Hopefully, this will empower President Trump to extend his authority over the Executive Branch and target any issues he may deem appropriate within his official acts.

President Trump’s priorities are his “official acts” and they exist without question or oversight within the Executive Branch.  If the President deems an issue of vital national interest, that issue is a vital national interest – period.  This approach applies toward everything within the executive branch.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/12/president-trump-announces-william-joseph-mcginley-as-white-house-counsel/

Sundance didn't express disappointment or concern, so at least for now he is good with this selection.  I'll bet he is in research mode to confirm this.  For now, looks solid.

Hegseth as SecDef - Remember, under the Trump Doctrine, the use of the military takes a backseat to the deployment of economic weapons to achieve national security objectives.  From this fundamental outlook, the Secretary of Defense needs to maintain a strong military, but only for use as a last resort when called upon.

If triggered for reasons of extreme national security, the Defense Department under Commander in Chief Donald Trump is expected to deliver much faster, harsher and a more directed forceful response.  This was on display in Syria, 2017, when ISIS was destroyed in weeks; and then followed up with the first ever dropping of a ‘MOAB’, the Mother of All Bombs.

With this intent in mind, Pete Hegseth needs to harden the warriors and prepare them only in the event that all other approaches by President Trump have not led to the optimal outcome.  This approach scares the crap out of militaristic nations who were stuck in the old ‘red line’ paradigm.


Minnesota guy, Forest Lake HS kid, I like Pete.  Reckon some Dem's will raise a stink against him but he should get confirmed unless Cucks want him torpedoed.

Hopefully the woke BS gets flushed and warriors can be warriors again and used as a last resort and not for Globalist/NGO nation-building BS!

Plus, he has some killer tats!

DOGE Czars Musk & Ramaswamy - Deadline for Swamp Draining, July 4th, 2026! It’s in the announcement.
President Trump has announced the creation of a new department. The Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE (tongue in cheek head nod to the Dogecoin cryptocurrency created by Musk).  Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will be tasked with reducing the size and scope of government and completing the agenda by July 4th, 2026.

Awesome, our 250th birthday as a due date!

 ::whoohoo::

Witkoff as Special Envoy to the Middle East - If you look at the structure of the announcements, there does appear to be a strategy at play; yes, including the likelihood of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.

Using the announcement of Steven C. Witkoff to be Special Envoy to the Middle East, I’ll try to put it together.

If President Trump pulls Marco Rubio out of the Senate, he opens up the position of Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).  Rubio would love the opportunity to load his presidential aspiration resume with Secretary of State, for later use. However, this also opens the opportunity for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to appoint an interim senator who would be more MAGA-minded, trustworthy and loyal (dare I say Gaetz).

With Rubio removed from the equation of the IC problem, the issue becomes mitigating (think neutering) the Secretary of State from undermining the Trump Doctrine; which, as you know, is the key Trump foreign policy approach using economic power combined with diplomacy.

President Trump has long expressed being sick and tired of U.S. mid-east policy, endless wars, endless spending etc.  President Trump in term-1 created the Abraham Accords to establish long-term peace and stability in the region, as a countermeasure to all the prior administrations stirring sh*t up there.  Essentially, the Abraham Accords create peace, get us out and allow policy to focus on more pressing foreign concerns, vis-a-vis China.

President Trump constrains Rubio in the mid-east by putting Steven C. Witkoff as Special Envoy to the Middle East.  Essentially, neutering any intervention that might be launched by the IC agenda supported by the neocon wing of Rubio.  Trump does this directly from the White House.

That puts Rubio’s role as Secretary of State focused on Europe and Asia, both regions where President Trump has already outlined the benefits of the Trump Doctrine in creating a peace deal in Ukraine and economically neutering Chinese aggression (like he did in North Korea).

While many of us do not like the thought of Rubio as Secretary of State, the value in removing Rubio from the SSCI is quite significant.
.
.
.
I can find cautious optimism in this strategy.  Frankly, getting Rubio out of the Chair position is a pretty big deal.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/12/president-trump-announces-steven-c-witkoff-as-special-envoy-to-the-middle-east/

I see a lot of attractiveness n this move...though there could be 2028 implications if Rubio makes a play for POTUS in the GOP field, I am hoping JD can have some plum assignments and projects to burnish his credentials for being a better standard-bearer of keeping the MAGA torch going.

Noem to head DHS - …And just like that, President Trump opens the door of possibility for a special election, and John Thune to fulfill Kimberly’s hope returning to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with a full-throated gubernatorial endorsement from the Great MAGA King.   But I’ll get to that in a moment….

First, President Trump has announced his nomination of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Keeping in mind that Tom Homan is already assigned the one task that Governor Noem would not like to be responsible for, controlling the border and deporting illegal aliens. Both matters are of interest to the Big Ag industry back home.

So, with a streamlined responsibility portfolio, at DHS Noem would be more focused on national security matters that are not tied to border security. The types of national security issues that Noem has a tendency to frame around constitutional freedoms, liberties, and the removal of systems that directly restrict the rights of Americans.   Something, shall we say, directly in her wheelhouse.

Simultaneously, this appointment opens the door for Senator John Thune to return to South Dakota and run for Governor.  This possibility directly fits into the wish list of his wife Kimberly Thune, together they have grandkids now. The family dynamic caused Senator Thune to seriously contemplate retiring two-years ago.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/12/president-trump-announces-sd-governor-kristi-noem-as-nominee-for-dept-of-homeland-security/

I like Noem, her dog episode does not bother me.  And I agree on the Homan choice freeing up Kristi to focus on other parts of that house...a house needing a lot of cleaning.  And I am not as hopeful as Sundance in the Thune angle...regardless if he stays or goes (and idiot Cornyn becomes majority leader) the Senate still has a serious Cuck problem.

As a follow up,  I sent another e-mail to Blackburn's office expressing my gratitude for her representing the interests of her constituents over those of the establishment GOP,  even though it was to no avail.
Much respect and continued support. 

Since it was all a secret ballot,  I guess we'll never know exactly who supported whom,  but if she voted  contrary to how she said she would vote on first ballot,  maybe that will spark a twinge of guilt in her at the very least,  and at most put her on notice to continue supporting the MAGA agenda.

Well, I would be inclined to believe her on the first round, the second was a joke no matter what given their BS "rules" that last place finisher is eliminated the next and succeeding rounds as necessary...it is all engineered to give the RINO/Cucks the advantage until a Cuck candidate is picked...  Thune is McConnell's hand-picked groomed for the position guy...Cornyn is possibly worse and no doubt more corrupt...

So in the second round I heard the Scott supporters roughly split between the two Cucks...

Personally, if I was in their/her shoes...I would abstain, with my feet, and leave the fracking room!

So naturally I would advise everyone to keep holding their Senator's feet to the fire...

Not being in Minnestupid is a blessing now, no longer hostage of those dipsh*t rabid socialist twits...WI is split, only one dipsh*t rabid socialist twit and Johnson who supported Scott.

(https://theconservativetreehouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Matt-Gaetz-Attorney-General-1.jpg)

In what can only reasonably be described as a MOAB targeted directly to Main Justice, President Trump has nominated Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz to be United States Attorney General.

Making the nomination strategy that much more interesting, Matt Gaetz resigned his position within congress, “effective immediately.”

In combination with the nomination of Senator Marco Rubio to the State Dept., this sets the stage for a Senate situation where the upper chamber may attempt to derail the Gaetz nomination, yet Florida Governor Ron DeSantis could then appoint him to be the replacement U.S. Senator from Florida; thus, returning an angry MOAB back into the silo that derailed him.

You couldn’t write this script if you tried.

To say the Lawfare leftists are having a meltdown would be an understatement.

CTH knew Main Justice was the target of greatest transition discussion when we wrote this.  However, I had no idea the strategy would include an Attorney General nomination of such severity the officials inside the DOJ would likely begin to self deport.

If Matt Gaetz gets through the nomination process, there will be a mass exodus from Main Justice.

Within the dynamic of the decision-making, obviously it was the targeting of President Trump and his allies by the DOJ that led to such a severe response from President-elect Donald Trump.

The Main Justice Lawfare effort against President Trump and anyone in/around his immediate orbit, has been relentless for the past eight years.  From Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell all the way to the 1,500 protesters from January 6, 2021, the attacks from within the DOJ and their appointed Special Counsels have been relentless.  Gaetz is the response.

Remarkable.

The next several weeks and months are going to be epic as this battle carries out throughout the Executive and Legislative branches.  Additionally, I would be remiss if I did not note that Gaetz represents the biggest, irresistible bait for the Intelligence Community (IC) to watch being dragged in front of them.  It will be interesting to watch their reaction.

The nomination of Matt Gaetz is the Mother of All Bombs (MOAB) and the DOJ is the target.

The “reckoning” is here.

The opposition to Gaetz IMO is the key-log in getting the new GOP led Senate off its ass...aka getting the Cucks to play ball, or else.  If it wasn't obviously to them already, this election proved it beyond a doubt that the MAGA movement is alive, and it is growing with inroads into former democrat demographics...they stymie the MAGA Mandate at their own peril, and it is incumbent upon us to emphasize this, daily, to our Senators!

And I think #1 on the list is this asshole democrat from Texas!

1-His obsession with a bogus House Ethics investigation filled with corrupt weaponized Biden-Harris DOJ bullsh*t and zero interest in the Epstein or Diddy party lists is telling, and his obsession is blunted by the fact that Gaetz is no longer a Representative and there is no legal right or precedent to share this bogus investigation with anybody.

2-His corrupt ass, and those of his Cuck pals...fail to realize the position of weakness they are in on this fight: a) Trump can recess appoint him b) Trump can order the Congress to adjourn and Cucks can argue in court if they wish and lose on the merits c) Trump can appoint folks all day long (how about Sydney Powell, Guiliani...others targeted by Herr Garland?) and call for adjournment all day until you capitulate d) your obstruction will get your asses primaried with Musk (and likely lots of other) contributions!

Wanna fight?  Have you seen Trump fight?  You really want to mess with him?

Doug Collins for Sec Vet Affairs - https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/14/president-trump-announces-nomination-of-doug-collins-for-secretary-of-veterans-affairs/

Solid pick, good guy.

Dean John Sauer for U.S. Solicitor General - https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/14/president-trump-nominates-dean-john-sauer-for-u-s-solicitor-general/

Sharp, capable, successful...and has a wry sense of humor, a winner.

Two more sharp-taloned hunters at DOJ - A very strategic plan for Main Justice transition delivered today by President Trump.  President Trump has announced Deputy AG Todd Blanche to be #2 in charge behind Matt Gaetz, and Emil Bove to serve as interim Acting DAG in case the Senate drag their feet on confirmations.  This makes a very quick transition period in Main Justice with President Trump officials immediately taking charge.

With nominated Attorney General Matt Gaetz as the Mother of all Bombs (MOAB), in comes the insurance policy, Todd Blanche, as the A-10 Warthog strafing the scattering Lawfare members. Emil Bove flying the circling Specter above the battlefield.


This Main Justice plan has been in the works for a long time, you can clearly see it.

Blanche and Bove are the lawyers who represented President Trump in the New York trial (Judge Merchan). Now selected as the #2 and #3 spots at the Department of Justice. [#4 is John Dean Sauer as Solicitor General]

Blanche and Bove are both alumni of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office, where Blanche was co-chief of the violent crimes unit. Bove was co-chief of the Manhattan USAO national security unit. Look for Bove to take over DOJ-NSD when all confirmations are settled.

Todd Blanche is a serious, stable and likeable blue-collar guy. He advanced himself to the most prestigious federal prosecutor’s office in the country by attending night classes at Brooklyn Law School while working during the day as a paralegal.

See, now this is why PITA trouble-making Senators need to have their feet held to the flames of We the People who have had enough of this bullsh*t!  Fortunately, Trump is wise to this crap now and is using his full authority to bypass the corrupt Praetorians seeking to disrupt the mandate we gave him!  This, however does not mean we let off the gas, no, we need to keep Senator's asses in-line on advance our agenda via President Trump!

FBI Whistleblower Says FBI Intentionally Blocking Security Clearances for Trump Officials

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016.  The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.

In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments.  Historically this is one of the ways a very corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.

First the report:

WASHINGTON DC – An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.

The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.

The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.” (more)

This is not any earth-shattering revelation. We painstakingly discussed this in a multitude of prior research discussions. The motive of the Whistleblower to come forth now, is likely because President Trump is already working around the problem.


WASHINGTON DC – President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is skipping the protocol of using the FBI to conduct background checks, according to a report.

Instead, the president-elect’s team is turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, people familiar with transition planning told CNN. Trump has criticized the FBI for its slow investigation process and feared it would delay his ability to roll out his agenda.

A security clearance is needed for some Cabinet positions, such as attorney general, and the process of obtaining one includes an FBI background check.

Dan Meyer, a national security attorney, told CNN Trump’s mistrust of the FBI and the deep state has made him go completely rogue. [They] “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm. They want to hammer the norm,” Meyer told CNN.

The Trump transition team’s decision to bypass the FBI background check comes as Trump has nominated former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for attorney general and National Intelligence director, respectively — both controversial picks. (more)

Because President Trump is making civics great again, it’s worth reminding everyone that President Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance.  The President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status, simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance.  Yes, it really is that easy.

The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything – even the most top-secret information in the country – with his advisors and cabinet members. That’s what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make decisions.

This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other silo, branch or institution.  The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the security clearance rules are.

There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can supersede the decision of President Trump.

Between Trump talking with Senators and the public making their will known...seems to be achieving some results...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/19/maga-pressure-worked-oklahoma-senator-markwayne-mullin-reverses-position-will-now-support-matt-gaetz-for-ag/

But we cannot let up pressure, we need to keep it up.

And, knowing too well the nefariousness of RINO/AINO/Cucks...not surprised at this news, nope pretty much expected it...

The basic outline is that senate leadership will reluctantly support Matt Gaetz for Main Justice, where ‘support’ means they will not directly oppose; in exchange for the nomination of FBI Director Mike Rogers to defend their interests at FBI.
.
.
.
There is no deal like this that is worth making.  The DNI (Tulsi), DHS (Noem), HHS (RFK JR) and DOJ (Gaetz) nominations should stand on their own – along with a radical reform nomination, at best, for the FBI.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/19/reported-senate-offer-well-give-you-matt-gaetz-in-doj-if-you-give-us-mike-rogers-in-fbi/

And, while I agree with that sentiment...consider this...

The only way this "deal" can work is if the cucks agree to not bring Rogers up for a vote unless and until all others are confirmed...then, like they've done to us too many times for us to fire off an accurate count (but hundreds if not thousands of times is not out of line!) we pull a Lucy on them and pull the ball back and let all the Charlie Brown's slam their back in the dirt!

I mean, why not?  They've f**ked us so many times a giant eff-them is way past overdue.  If we are serious about attempting to dismantle the corrupt elements comprising the DeepState we need to use all tactics.

And, yeah...I know, they're petty, they'll seek revenge...

Sure, but do as they expect and they'll for certain betray us time and time again.

I say get our people in place to get to the work they have our mandate to execute...and let's deal with their revenge tactics with Trump taking to the bully pulpit and We the People backing him up all the way?!

I say, eff yeah!

Time they realize who is calling the shots!

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/20/contemplating-the-next-fbi-director/

American Liberty cannot survive and DeepState corruption and criminality cannot end as long as this outfit lives.

IMO there is no reforming it.  It needs to be closed down, period.  Any Federal investigative efforts needed can be run through the 94 US Attorneys...since they serve at the pleasure of the President, there is at least accountability if we are under an ethical Executive.  We don't need the FBI, the attorneys can enlist other investigative assets in their regions.  And since the attorneys are supervised by a director in the DOJ, there is two fulcrums of Executive authority over their actions.  Tie them down with an ethical DOJ IG and get legislation passed specifically making the IG accountable to Congress (appointed by President, approved by majority vote in Congress, independent and removeable only by majority vote of Congress or by Presidential declaration and majority approval of the Supreme Court...tied around that many times should minimize politicized shenanigans by any co-equal branch).

I mean, come on...this sh*t again?

IS his resignation from Congress all encompassing or does it affect only his current (ending) term?  Because he was re-elected, yes?

Trump could consider him for a SCOTUS seat if one opens up, still young, could be there for decades!

Well I was surprised by the Bondi pick for AG nominee #2...

Sundance I think just lost it...

Pam Bondi?

For U.S. Attorney General?

The woman who as Florida Attorney General, conspired to put a transparently innocent man in prison.  A man she knew was innocent.

Pam Bondi, the enabler of Benjamin Crump.

Pam Bondi, the co-conspirator to corrupt Jacksonville District Attorney, Angela Corey …. Who was Bondi’s friggin’ CAMPAIGN MANAGER!

I can’t right now….   GO READ THE ARCHIVES HERE
I’ll be back after a cool-off walk.

I support President Trump. But this is ridiculous.

Pam Bondi to end political corruption? A joke!

More Sundance...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/21/president-trump-nominates-pam-bondi-for-u-s-attorney-general-the-deep-swamp-smiles/

I get it, she either had bad taste in friends like Crump and/or was disturbingly naive about what they were up to in this civil case that nobody in the criminal investigation wanted to pursue in any way...or she knew exactly who and what Crump was and what they were up to and went along with it...

And at least she registered her foreign agent work...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/22/ag-nominee-pam-bondi-and-chief-of-staff-susie-wiles-ballard-partners-law-firm-lobbyists/

...as far as hard ties to Rubin and his schemes...I dunno about that, but the optics look unflattering for sure.

Did Susie offer her up?  Probably.  Did Trump recall her assistance in his first bogus impeachment by the Pelosi Politburo?  Certainly.

I just think there is a head-fake or a trick-play yet to be made her, maybe I am being naive...but maybe a switch happens if a Recess of Congress is achieved, or maybe Gaetz can be named a Special Counsel.  Regardless, this puts just a sh*t-ton of pressure on the Deputies and Assistants in this swampy department!

Even a holding action is a loss...we desperately need a win in this department, so yeah this is going to keep us awake at night.

If confirmed, better be on the shortest leash possible!

This is good news!  Albeit for disturbing reasons - aka we cannot trust the bureaucrats to behave like normal honest ethical American's!  If this doesn't scream for massive flushing of personnel across the board then people are beyond stupid.

More Trump picks -

Jamieson Greer as USTR reporting through Lutnick at Commerce and Kevin Hassett as NEC Director (not subject to confirmation) - two great picks!

President Trump Announces Kash Patel “Will Serve As” FBI Director

So, what does all this mean?

I have no idea, and, quite frankly, knowing Trump, I’m not going near this with a 10-foot pole.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/11/30/president-trump-announces-kash-patel-will-serve-as-fbi-director/

He's playing hardball, he's telling more than one faction within the bureaucracy and its allies in elected office he intends to get stuff done, not just any stuff, big hairy stuff!

He's throwing it all on them to determine how and how much they wish to battle him and his agenda sealed with an electoral mandate...and that how much part will identify fresh targets of opportunity...so it's winning on multiple levels.

I like!   :D

Interesting,  quite a few of Mr. Trump's upcoming appointments are actually preceded by a "Firing".  The major cabinet appointments like State, and Defence automatically replace an appointee the minute Trump takes the oath.   Other appointments, like FBI, are normally for "x " number
years, regardless of who is President.  (Remember, it last term, he had to fire the standing FBI Director)  Difference is now, he's not wasting the time.

And a wise switching of WHC with McGinley now going to be counsel for DOGE and Warrington being WHC & assistant to POTUS -

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/president-trump-switches-out-white-house-counsel-position-announces-david-a-warrington-to-lead-white-house-counsel-office/ (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/president-trump-switches-out-white-house-counsel-position-announces-david-a-warrington-to-lead-white-house-counsel-office/)

Choke that one up to cutting through the self-imposed paralysis of Term 1 weaklings, and it bodes well for finally telling the bureaucratic assholes to shut up and obey when POTUS disclosure orders come down!

And I think the bone to Sea Island that Sundance references here is indeed a olive branch of sorts to Senators looking to confirm his nominees...

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/president-trump-gives-sea-island-an-ironic-bone-nominates-kelly-loeffler-for-small-business-administration/ (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/president-trump-gives-sea-island-an-ironic-bone-nominates-kelly-loeffler-for-small-business-administration/)

...and she can hardly do any damage to MAGA at SBA, a shrewd move.

And I fully agree with Sundance on the threat level Hegseth represents -

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/defense-secretary-nominee-pete-hegseth-vows-to-stay-on-mission-as-senate-navigates-tear-down-against-will-of-the-people/ (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/04/defense-secretary-nominee-pete-hegseth-vows-to-stay-on-mission-as-senate-navigates-tear-down-against-will-of-the-people/)

They are NOT attacking him so early in this process because of any concerns over qualifications or anonymous crap thrown at him...they are attacking him because he threatens their power to influence day to day operations of the DOD that the Constitution solely bestowed upon the Executive.  All Congress can do is declare war when asked and provide funding like it does for all government operations.  They were never meant to have one say in how the military goes about its business under Presidential direction.

We need to remind these idiots of what the Supreme Law of the Land says!

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/12/08/stephen-miller-outlines-priorities-for-president-trumps-first-100-days/

I don't like the idea of two legislative reconciliation bills...I am not a fan of this splitting of priorities...and it is entirely because congresscritters in general are a feckless bunch (like trying to herd cats) and the usually feckless RINO/AINO/Cuck DeceptiCons in the Senate get two cracks to muck things up with their UniParty asshat pals in the Demonazi fold...

I favor one big reconciliation package with everything in it.

I dunno, maybe I am battered from decades of betrayal...maybe I am overly concerned about being screwed over yet again...

Or maybe I am right...

Bottom line though...it is up to us to hold feckless feet to fires...if in any stage of implementing the Trump mandate resistance and roadblocks are encountered, it is We the People that have to bust those log-jams and by God we better put the fear of us in the obstructionists and make them know clearly and loudly they will be held accountable for defying our will!!!  Obstacles will be primaried and defeated!!!

Rose is an imbecile and a liar and Urban is 100% correct...

“The treaty which was signed leaves an out for the United States that says if the neutrality of the canal is threatened, we can take it back,” Urban said. “You know how we do it? With the U.S. military. I don’t know if anybody remembers Operation Just Cause, but we sent the U.S. military down there to kick some ass and oust the president and put a new president in. We did it within about like 24 hours. So we could do it. If I was the Panamanians, I wouldn’t cozy up to the Chinese too much. If I was the Chinese, I wouldn’t get too cute.”
https://dailycaller.com/2024/12/23/david-urban-cnn-theory-donald-trump-panama-canal/

Carter was an idiot to give up full control of the canal, it is just too strategic...and only now with the Chi-Com's looking to control it is that becoming painfully obvious...but at least somebody with half a brain on Carter's negotiation team had enough sense to codify the Monroe Doctrine and common sense into the treaty!

We could always right the wrong again...as they seem to indicate a continued desire to ignore facts...

After all they violated the terms of the 1836 treaty agreed to by Santa Anna that led to the Mexican-American War and the Capture of Mexico City by Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott.  We can always repeat his feat, land a Veracruz, rename it Scott's Landing...and march into Mexico City again...

In the meantime perhaps renaming the Mexican borderlands as Cartel Territories dealing with things would be more clear...

She modified her 702 response...seems nuanced to me...and as such it could be a strategy to give the appearance of agreement while promising nothing specific, as she still wants to reign in the abuses...hopefully this is the case.  In the end, the executive branch is a separate authority from the legislative...so eff the water-carrier muppets of the IC DeepState!

O’Keefe Media Group has released footage from their investigation into Department of Defense advisor Jamie Mannina, revealing that he’s working behind the scenes with third-party groups and retired generals to undermine Trump’s incoming administration.

Yepper…
Jeez… I just can’t… I threw up a little bit in my mouth while writing that bile… I mean there’s humor, then all of a sudden, you realize it’s a farcical tragicomedy unfolding right in front of you.

Add on there are soooo many other indicators that are pointing in the exact opposite direction. James O’Keefe who recently busted some former G-Man who was (operative word) an advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff (DotMil) talking about how he and a “…couple of retired two and three star Generals” were meeting and from the sounds of it conspiring to “do something” to “stop OrangeManBad”.

https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1879608848807543149 (https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1879608848807543149)
Apparently after the Holiday Season we have Sedition and Treason Season.

And it seems that Jamie Mannina was immediately sh*tcanned after this broadcast came out.

Guess he just got turned into f**king Plutonium.

Ain’t no one no how is ever hire that f**king guy again.

Even funnier is allll the bragging he was doing was to score some pussy, which belonged to the female who was actually the undercover ‘date’ who fried his ass.

It’ll get ya every single time.
Personally, I’d say that he’ll be ‘Epsteined’ for that f**kup. And then they’ll point the finger at O’Keefe and his family will probably sue or some sh*t because that’s how Leviathan rolls… Have to wait and see on that one…

Moving on…

Back to the Bureau of Idiots proclamation that “All it Well! Remain Calm!” O’Keefe then had an interesting follow up a few weeks earlier that’s now getting some play on a different subject that ties into the opening headline I gave y’all:

https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1876792824454090975 (https://twitter.com/JamesOKeefeIII/status/1876792824454090975)
You have to read the whole thing, but the TL;DR is basically the Health and Human Services via the Office of Emergency Management kids put out a request for an “all hands on deck” for the Veterans Administration to provide potentially needed Emergency Medical Services on Inauguration Day in the District of Criminals.

So far all requests to find out if this sort of request has ever been sent out before via FOIA requests have been met with Nada. Zip. El-Zilch-O.

Now interestingly this is now coming to light, as the Memo is dated December 10, 2024. The mission parameters start on January 17th, until January 21st, with travel days to and from being designated as well. They’re specifically looking for 2x Paramedics, 2x RNs with ED/ER/med-surg certs, 2x Medical Doctors/Osteopathic Doc, or 2x Physician Assistants or Nurse Practitioners. One common thing is they ALL need to be Emergency Room/Trauma certified.

Now it’s not uncommon for a BIG EVENT to have extra Medical folks on standby. What -is- highly unusual that this call is being put out to the Veterans Administration, which is very odd to say the least. Never mind that it’s going out to ALL the VISNs nationally. VISN stands for Veterans Integrated Service Network. VISNs are regional healthcare systems that provide care to veterans in the United States. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has 18 VISNs. My VA, James Haley, is in VISN 8 I believe.

Like everyone else, I’m curious that if this is a first or if this common, and we’re just hearing about it now for the first time? Far be it for me to trust the DotGov/Mil or any other part of the Leviathan, I do know (and have first hand experiences) that there’s a LOT of sh*t that happens in the background that gets ignored in the ‘static’ of everything… I mean it is The Leviathan so I wouldn’t doubt if this is a regular thing that someone this time just happened to notice…

Either way you couldn’t pay me to be in D.C. or anywhere near that A.O. over the next week or two. f**k that noise.

As for the 20th...I sure hope he has the best folks around him possible...

Don't trust the Amerikan KGB one iota!  And with the O'Keefe info we know, yet again, traitors are in the Pentagon!

Trump  is onto something.
https://t.me/EurasianChoice/46209
Want to know why Greenland has been kept :
- very poor
- under-developed
- living out of welfare paid by Denmark (500 Million dollars per year.

While it has trillions of dollars in mining, gas and oil..

Easy, same as the general strategy of the West in the Global South, use NGOs (climate change, diversity, human rights, animal protections) to completely block any developments.

Those NGOs are mainly financed by the US, blackjack and other Wall Street vultures.

This way the US can better control and influence the 50'000 people in Greenland by giving freebies through USAID to manipulate civil society, education.

The idea for the US is to >
- push for independence
- once independent either strike a multi-billion dollar deal or by force if necessary. Basically pay thousand times less than what Greenland is worth.

If people from Greenland were able to tap into their resources they would be by far the richest nation per capita on earth. Instead they are living out of social welfare, the same as native Indians were treated by the colonisers in the USA, give them survival money and alcohol and turn a proud nation into parasite, zombified nation.

US leadership doesn't care about Greenland, it only sees trillions dollars of reserves, huge real estate asset and strategic land on the artic route.

IIRC Stefanik came out of Committee with some bi-partisan support...where Hegseth came out with party-line support...

About Stefanik, this was good - https://rumble.com/v6bubus-un-ambassador-nominee-elise-stefanik-on-trump-pulling-out-of-who-he-was-rig.html?e9s=src_v1_upp (https://rumble.com/v6bubus-un-ambassador-nominee-elise-stefanik-on-trump-pulling-out-of-who-he-was-rig.html?e9s=src_v1_upp)

IIRC Stefanik was the person who asked the questions of FBI director(?) which showed that the FBI failed to disclose to congress that they were investigating Trump as they were required to do.

Revoke that apostate's tax exempt status!  Bloody demon!

 It took President Trump a few hours to gather his thoughts and put digital pen to pixelated paper to explain his disappointment at the weaponization of yesterday's National Prayer Service sermon by far-left activist bishop of DC.

But, his well chosen words are as follows (emphasis ours):

The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater.

She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way.

She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart.

She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people. Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. it is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.

Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one.

She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!

Ouch! But hey, at least she can gloat in her self-satisfaction that she is a member of the #Resistance...

Don't these people ever learn?!

Wonder if anything done with Assange.  After all, he didn't commit any crimes...he published the crimes committed by government that somebody else pinched from said government...  Remember back in the 70's when The Press was celebrated for such investigative journalism assisted by anonymous government whistleblowers or in modern parlance "leakers"?

President Trump Restructures the National Security Council and Removes IC Influence
.
.
.
The most effective way to confront a rogue, hostile and corrupt IC apparatus is to take away their power.  The best way to remove their power is to use their primary weapon, their silo structure, against them.

Turn each silo into an irrelevant echo-chamber by using the White House National Security Council as their replacement.  Regardless of what triggers the various IC silo embeds try to pull (CIA, NSA, FBI, DIA, etc.) let them shoot blanks by removing their power over policy and process.

If the IC is isolated from influence, eventually the Legislative Branch, specifically the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, will realize the ‘Seven Ways from Sunday’ group no longer hold power.  The IC becomes a crew stomping their feet while no one pays attention.

This approach would be affected by restructuring the President’s National Security Council (NSC), the National Security Advisor (NSA Mike Waltz) and working with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI Tulsi Gabbard), in a synergistic process.   The IC become simply information functionaries. The Nat Sec Council then validates and defines the information, creates the definitions of national security interest, and initiates the guidance to President Trump, who ultimately triggers any action.

Until yesterday there were only a few subtle signs that this ‘silo isolation’ approach was being accepted as the most effective optimal solution to the problem within the intelligence apparatus. However, yesterday President Trump signed an Executive Order [SEE HERE] doing exactly the type of restructuring that is needed.

The XO is technical and deep in the weeds, but this is the process that has the greatest likelihood of success.

SUBJECT: Organization of the National Security Council and Subcommittees

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby direct the following:

As President, my highest priority and responsibility is to ensure the safety and security of the United States and its people. The national and homeland security threats facing the United States are complex and rapidly evolving. These issues often do not fit neatly into the categories that single departments and agencies are designed to optimally address, a fact recognized and exploited by our strategic competitors and adversaries in their adoption of whole-of-government and even whole-of-society approaches.

The United States Government’s decision-making structures and processes to address national security challenges must therefore be equally adaptive and comprehensive. They must be able to competently design and execute cooperative and integrated interagency solutions to address these problems, and protect and advance the national interests of the United States. Therefore, to advise and assist me in this endeavor, I hereby direct that my system for national security policy development, decision-making, implementation, and monitoring shall be organized as set forth in this Memorandum. This Memorandum prevails over any prior orders, directives, memoranda, or other Presidential guidance related to the organization of the National Security Council (NSC or Council).

A. The National Security Council and Supporting Staff

1. Functions, Responsibilities, and Chairs.

(a) Functions and Responsibilities. The National Security Act of 1947, as amended (the Act), established the NSC to advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to national security. The Homeland Security Council (HSC) has the distinct purpose of advising the President on matters pertaining to homeland security. The NSC shall convene as the HSC on topic areas agreed to in advance by the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (National Security Advisor) and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security (Homeland Security Advisor). Along with its subordinate committees and staff, the NSC shall be the President’s principal means for coordinating Executive departments and agencies in the development and implementation of national and homeland security policies, strategies, activities, and functions, their integration across departments and agencies within their purview, and for long-term strategic planning.

(b) Chairs. The President will chair the NSC. When the President is absent from a meeting of the Council, he may appoint a Cabinet-level official to chair.

2. NSC Staffing Responsibilities of the National Security Advisor.

(a) Role of the National Security Advisor. The National Security Advisor shall be responsible, as appropriate and at the President’s direction, for determining the agenda for the NSC, ensuring that the necessary papers are prepared, and recording and communicating Council actions and Presidential decisions in a timely manner.

(b) Role of the Homeland Security Advisor. When convened as the HSC, the duties referenced in subsection (2)(a) shall be the responsibility of the Homeland Security Advisor.

3. Designating NSC Members, Attendees, and Invitees.

(a) Membership. The NSC membership consists of the statutory members set forth in section 101(c)(1) of the Act (50 U.S.C. 3021(c)(1)):

The President;
The Vice President;
The Secretary of State;
The Secretary of the Treasury;
The Secretary of Defense;
The Secretary of Energy;
The Director of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy;
and additional members hereby designated by the President pursuant to section 101(c)(1) of the Act:

The Attorney General;
The Secretary of the Interior;
Chief of Staff to the President (White House Chief of Staff); and
The National Security Advisor.
When the NSC convenes as the HSC, members shall also include:

The Secretary of Homeland Security; and
13) The Homeland Security Advisor.

(b) NSC Meeting Attendees. The National Security Advisor retains the discretion to determine the attendee list for all meetings of the NSC, including by requesting the attendance of any senior official of the Executive Branch. The Homeland Security Advisor retains this same discretion when the NSC convenes as the HSC. This discretion shall be exercised based on the policy relevance of attendees to the issues being considered, the need for secrecy on sensitive matters, staffing requirements, and other considerations.

As regular practice, the National Security Advisor and Homeland Security Advisor shall include as additional non-voting attendees:

The Director of National Intelligence (non-voting advisor);
The Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy National Security Advisor (non-voting advisor and principal notetaker) or, when convening as the HSC, the Deputy Homeland Security Advisor (non-voting advisor and principal notetaker);
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (non-voting advisor); and
The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (non-voting advisor).
(c) NSC Regular Invitees. Unless specifically restricted, these officials are invited to attend any NSC and HSC meeting as non-voting advisors:

The Assistant to the President and Counsel to the President;
The Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy;
The Assistant to the President for Policy; and
The Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs and Legal Counsel to the National Security Advisor.
4. Right to Propose Agenda Items.

Any NSC member attending a meeting in a voting capacity may propose, in advance and in accordance with a timeline set by the National Security Advisor or his designee, agenda items for their consideration.[1] The National Security Advisor will determine whether to include these items on the agenda. The Homeland Security Advisor shall have this same discretion when the Council is convened as the HSC.

5. The National Security Council Staff.

(a) Staff Fusion. There is a single NSC staff within the Executive Office of the President (EOP) that serves both the NSC on national security matters and the HSC when the Council is considering homeland security matters. The staff is headed by a single Executive Secretary, in accordance with section 101(e)(1) of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3021(e)(1)) and section 905 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 495).

(b) Purpose. The purposes of the National Security Advisor and subordinate staff are to

(i) advise and assist the President in the course of conducting activities that relate to or affect the carrying out of the President’s constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties pertaining to national or homeland security, pursuant to the Presidential Records Act of 1978, as amended;[2]

(ii) advise and assist the other members of the NSC (and the NSC when convening as the HSC), and others in the White House;

(iii) help the President plan and set priorities, in accordance with section II of the Message of the President in the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977;

(iv) advise and make recommendations to the President with respect to, and establish, integrated domestic, foreign, and military policies and procedures for the departments, agencies, and functions of the Government relating to national and homeland security, pursuant to sections 2 and 101(b)(1) of the Act (50 U.S.C. 3002, 3021(b)(1));

(v) coordinate, facilitate, monitor, oversee, and review Administration policies and their implementation with respect to national security, and make resulting recommendations to the President;

(vi) help the President resolve major conflicts among departments and agencies with regard to national security, in accordance with section II of the Message of the President in the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977.

(c) Fair, Balanced, and Thorough Processes. In accordance with sections I and II of the Message of the President in the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977, the NSC staff shall ensure that the processes it organizes, coordinates, and manages fairly and thoroughly gather the facts, intelligence, and other relevant information necessary to NSC decisions; fully analyze the issues; consider a full range of views and options; assess the prospects, risks, costs, and implications of each option; and distill these options for the President, other NSC principals, and senior officials participating in the subsidiary committees of the NSC or HSC, in a fair, balanced, and organized way. The National Security Advisor and subordinate NSC staff shall represent the views and differences of NSC principals and other senior officials to the President with accuracy and fidelity.

(d) Policy Development. In accordance with sections I and II of the Message of the President in the Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1977,[8] the NSC staff shall facilitate the development and refinement of interagency policy options, and develop additional options besides those proposed by departments and agencies as necessary, both to complement, supplement, and enhance their work, and to offer the President and other NSC principals and other senior officials a sufficiently broad menu of operationally feasible options for consideration, deliberation, and decision.

B. The Principals Committee

1. Principals Committee Establishment.

(a) (i) Functions and Responsibilities. The Principals Committee (PC) shall continue to serve as the Cabinet-level senior interagency forum for considering policy issues that affect the national security interests of the United States. The PC shall develop options and recommendations for the President on national security and homeland security matters requiring the President’s attention, and with the Committee’s full consensus shall set priorities, issue policy guidance, and facilitate coordination and integration on national security policy and implementation issues as appropriate that do not require Presidential attention.[9] Issues involving matters that are statutorily authorized for decision by a principal, or delegated to a principal by the President, can be coordinated and decided by the principals without requiring Presidential attention.

(ii) Voting and NSC Referral. Consensus is reached when all voting (i.e., non-advisory) attendees present either vote affirmatively for the same decisional option or formally abstain, and all such votes shall be recorded and minuted. Issues for which the Committee fails to reach consensus shall be referred to the NSC for decision, with a formal nonconcurrence required by at least one non-advisory attendee present for such a referral. Whether an issue requires Presidential attention, and the Committee attendees’ positions on the issue itself, shall be separately polled. If a voting attendee does not concur with the determination that Presidential consideration is not required, the issue shall be referred, along with the results of the PC’s deliberation on the issue itself and its recommendations, to deliberation by the NSC.

(b) Role of the National Security Advisor. The PC shall be convened and chaired by the National Security Advisor. The Chair shall determine the agenda, location, and meeting materials, in consultation with the appropriate attendees.

(c) Substitute Chairs. At his sole discretion, the National Security Advisor may delegate authority to convene and chair or co-chair the PC to an appropriate attendee of the NSC or EOP policy council senior official. The Homeland Security Advisor, who is Chair when the PC considers matters that would be raised to the NSC convening as the HSC, may similarly delegate such duties.

(d) Right to Propose Agenda Items. Any PC member attending in a voting capacity may propose, in advance and in accordance with a timeline set by the Chair, agenda items for consideration by the PC. The Chair will determine which, if any, shall be included.

2. Executive Secretary Responsibilities and Process.

(a) Responsibilities. The Executive Secretary shall ensure that the necessary papers are prepared, serve as executive secretary of the PC, and shall record and communicate accurately, and in a timely manner, the Committee’s conclusions and decisions, what was not decided, and any responsibilities for implementation by departments and agencies or taskings to the Deputies Committee or subsidiary policy coordination committees that have been agreed or assigned, if appropriate.[10] The Executive Secretary shall generally be assisted in these tasks by the senior directors and other NSC staff by the senior directors and other NSC staff.

(b) Dispute Resolution Process. If a PC voting attendee disputes that the conclusions or decisions of the PC were correctly minuted, this must be communicated in writing to the Executive Secretary and the National Security Advisor (and any substitute Chair if appropriate) within three business days, although those officials may allow additional time if exigent or extenuating circumstances require it. If resolution of the dispute cannot be achieved, and any necessary amended report of the PC proceedings was issued within a week of the dispute being communicated, the disputing attendee may appeal the matter to the White House Chief of Staff or, should that official so designate, to the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, whose decision shall be final.

3. Principals Committee Attendees and Invitees.

(a) Principals Committee Attendees.

(i) The National Security Advisor retains the discretion to determine the attendee list for all PC meetings on national security. The Homeland Security Advisor retains this same discretion when chairing the PC. This discretion shall be exercised based on the policy relevance of attendees to the issues being considered, the need for secrecy on sensitive matters, staffing needs, and other considerations. As regular practice, the National Security Advisor and Homeland Security Advisor shall include as additional non-voting attendees:

1) The Director of National Intelligence;

2) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff;

3) The Director of the Central Intelligence Agency;

4) The Principal Deputy National Security Advisor;

5) the National Security Advisor to the Vice President; and

The Deputy Counsel to the President for National Security Affairs and Legal Counsel to the National Security Advisor.
(iii) Staffing Invitees. At the discretion of the Chair, staff members of the NSC or other appropriate EOP policy councils may be invited to attend specific PC meetings to assist the Executive Secretary in the performance of their executive secretary duties.

C. The Deputies Committee

1. Deputies Committee Establishment.

(a) Functions and Responsibilities. The Deputies Committee (DC) shall continue to serve as the senior sub-Cabinet interagency forum for consideration of and, where appropriate, decision making on, policy issues that affect the national security interests of the United States. The DC shall review and monitor the work of the interagency national security process, including the interagency groups established pursuant to section D below. The DC shall work to ensure that issues brought before the NSC, the NSC when convening as the HSC, and the PC have been properly analyzed and prepared for decision. The DC shall also focus significant attention on monitoring the implementation of these policies and decisions and shall conduct periodic reviews of the Administration’s major national security and foreign policy initiatives.

(b) Role of the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor. The DC shall be convened and chaired by the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor. The Chair shall determine the location, agenda, and meeting materials in consultation with the DC attendees.

(c) Substitute Chairs. At his sole discretion, the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor may delegate authority to convene and chair or co-chair the DC to an appropriate regular attendee of the DC or other appropriate EOP official. The Deputy Assistant to the President for Homeland Security (Deputy Homeland Security Advisor) shall chair meetings when considering issues that would be raised when the NSC is convened as the HSC. The Deputy Homeland Security Advisor has similar delegatory authority.

(d) Right to Propose Agenda Items. Any DC member attending in a voting capacity may propose, in advance and in accordance with a timeline set by the Chair, agenda items for consideration by the DC. The Chair will determine which, if any, shall be included.

2. Executive Secretary Responsibilities and Process.

(a) General. The Executive Secretary shall ensure that the necessary papers are prepared, and shall record and communicate accurately, and in a timely manner, the Committee’s conclusions and decisions, what was not decided, and any responsibilities for implementation by departments and agencies or taskings to subsidiary policy coordination committees that have been agreed or assigned, if appropriate. The Executive Secretary shall generally be assisted in this task by the senior directors and other NSC staff.

(b) Dispute Resolution Process. If a DC voting attendee disputes that the conclusions or decisions of the DC were correctly minuted, this must be communicated in writing to the Executive Secretary and the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor or the Deputy Homeland Security Advisor, as relevant, within three business days, although those officials may allow additional time if exigent or extenuating circumstances require it. If resolution of the dispute cannot be achieved, and any necessary amended report of the PC proceedings issued within a week of the dispute being communicated, the disputing attendee may appeal the matter to the White House Chief of Staff, or should that official so designate, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, whose decision shall be final.

3. Designating Deputies Committee Regular Attendees and Invitees.

(a) Deputies Committee Attendees. The Principal Deputy National Security Advisor retains the discretion to determine the attendee list for all DC meetings.

The Deputy Homeland Security Advisor retains this same discretion when chairing DC meetings. This discretion shall be exercised based on the policy relevance of attendees to the issues being considered, the need for secrecy on sensitive matters, staffing needs, and other considerations.

As regular practice, the Principal Deputy National Security Advisor shall include as DC attendees:

The Deputy Secretary of State;
The Deputy Secretary of the Treasury;
The Deputy Secretary of Defense;
The Deputy Attorney General;
The Deputy Secretary of Energy;
The Deputy Director of National Intelligence (non-voting advisor);
The Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (non-voting advisor);
The Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (non-voting advisor);

The National Security Advisor to the Vice President.
When homeland security issues are on the DC agenda, the DC’s regular attendees will also include:

11) The Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security; and

12) The Deputy Homeland Security Advisor (chair).

(b) DC Regular Invitees. These officials are invited to attend any DC meeting:

The Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget; and
The Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Policy Strategist.
D. Policy Coordination Committees

Management of the development and implementation of national security policies by multiple Executive departments and agencies typically shall be accomplished by Policy Coordination Committees (PCCs), with participation primarily occurring at the Assistant Secretary level. As the main day-to-day fora for interagency coordination and integration of national security policies, PCCs shall develop and provide policy options and analyses for consideration by higher echelon committees of the national security system. PCCs shall ensure timely responses to, and implementation and monitoring of, decisions, directives, objectives, instructions, inquiries, tasking, and policy guidance of and by the President, National Security Advisor, and the higher-echelon committees of the national security system.

PCCs shall be established at the direction of the National Security Advisor or Homeland Security Advisor, in consultation with the White House Chief of Staff or her designee. Members of the NSC staff will chair the PCCs.

PCCs shall review, coordinate, integrate, and monitor the implementation of Presidential decisions in their respective national security and homeland security policy areas. The Chair of each PCC, in consultation with the Executive Secretary, shall invite representatives of departments and agencies to attend meetings of the PCC where appropriate. The Chair of each PCC, with the agreement of the Executive Secretary, may establish subordinate working groups to assist that PCC in the performance of its duties.

Interagency Policy Committees (IPCs) chartered under the aegis of the process established by National Security Memorandum-2 (NSM–2) may continue to be operated as PCCs by the NSC staff until renewed or discontinued by the National Security Advisor.

E. General

(a) The President and the Vice President may attend any meeting of any entity established by or under this directive.

(b) This document is part of a series of National Security Policy Memoranda, which have replaced both National Security Memoranda and National Security Study Memoranda as the instrument for communicating relevant Presidential decisions. This directive shall supersede all other existing Presidential directives and guidance on the organization or support of the NSC and the HSC where they conflict, including National Security Memorandum–2 of February 4, 2021 (Memorandum on Renewing the National Security Council System), which is hereby revoked. This document shall be interpreted in concert with any Presidential directives governing other policy councils and offices in the EOP mentioned herein, and with any Presidential directives signed hereafter that implement this document or those Presidential directives.

Wow, Sundance is 100% correct, literally everything funnels through NSA Waltz.   But this is as it should be, there should not be many competing or colluding voices coming from sundry departments, agencies let alone outside voices with only oversight rights...from influencing/foisting actions on the Executive...they should provide their information, opinions and recommendations and all materials supporting the same...the the Executive and is Principles to digest and distill in their information and advice to the President, period end of story.

Let the silo's throw tantrums, the President and his officers don't have to tolerate it. 

And the Gang of Eight better get used to dealing with the NSA and his deputies...it's likely to be their only contact...but watch them moan in public hearing too, as they bleat pointlessly to Department heads that get called up to The HIll.

She/they/it said the illegals pay taxes. They pay sales taxes and property taxes even if indirectly. At their lower wage levels they are a giant money suck as they consume much more govt services than they pay for. They may even pay into SS but that is not a separate fund since LBJ just taxes..

Trump just pardoned this guy> He was given two life sentences  plus 40 years and I recall they seized lots of crypto.

Ross Ulbricht launched the Silk Road in 2011, using the Tor network to facilitate anonymous transactions, primarily in Bitcoin. The site became a hub for the sale of illegal goods, including drugs, counterfeit documents, and hacking services. In 2013, the FBI arrested Ulbricht, and he was later convicted on multiple charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, computer hacking, and drug trafficking.

In 2015, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole, a controversial ruling that sparked debate over digital privacy, government overreach, and sentencing severity. His case has inspired advocacy efforts calling for clemency, with supporters arguing that his punishment is too harsh for a non-violent offense.

And this, this is so spot-on!  If not for rogue President's dancing to the tune of DeepState totalitarians and the sundry bureaucrats ruling themselves more and more intrusive reach into the micro-aspects of daily life...such orders rescinding all this despotic sh*t wouldn't be necessary!

You can scour the Founding documents all day and find very little support for government-by-executive-order. It was not supposed to be this way.

It should not have to be this way. The President under the Constitution has a very limited role.

That said, most of the many executive orders issued by President Trump are purely restorative, a reaffirmation of core constitutional structures that had been previously ignored or overthrown. Therefore, these are not acts of executive imposition so much as deployments of power in order to give power back to the people.

In other words, most of the actions are not about the “imperial presidency.” They are about returning power to where it belongs and never should have left, namely to the U.S. Constitution and to the voters in a republican system of government.

This is why all the chatter about Trump’s use of power (“He’s behaving like a dictator!”) misses the mark. Completely.

Let’s just consider one that is near and dear to my heart: “Restoring Freedom Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.” It does nothing other than restate the meaning of the very first amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which proclaimed that government cannot interfere with the freedom of speech.

In recent years, plenty of government agencies have found a way around the law. They would call media outlets and social-media services, and even book retailers, and browbeat them to publish this and not that, take down posts, prioritize this content over that, delete whole groups, and ban accounts. In addition, government agencies constructed a vast web of third-party providers to make lists of approved and unapproved points of view.

This was pushed to crack down on disinformation and misinformation, as if it was the job of the federal government to decide what is what. Invariably, this was designed to bolster the industrial prospects of a particular industry. The result was a global censorship complex of astounding levels of complexity and reach. It became terrifying for everyone and deeply injurious to careers and reputations.

These practices have come under fire in a flurry of lawsuits. One court in the case of Murthy v. Missouri ended up with an injunction against federal agencies. That found its way to the Supreme Court. In the hearings, more than half the members of the court simply could not follow the arguments. Some comments even raised questions about the whole idea of free speech itself, as if the concept was somehow new. It was shocking and demoralizing.

The result of that hearing was to reject the injunction on grounds that the plaintiffs did not have standing, as if the victims of censorship themselves have no real right to redress. Now the case is again tangled up in litigation that will likely last years. Despite tens of thousands of pages of evidence, the court could not somehow find its way toward enforcing the clear law of the land.

That’s when this executive order comes into play. Someone had to enforce the law against government overreach. That someone is President Trump. His executive order reads as follows:

“The First Amendment to the United States Constitution, an amendment essential to the success of our Republic, enshrines the right of the American people to speak freely in the public square without Government interference. Over the last 4 years, the previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve. Under the guise of combatting ‘misinformation,’ ‘disinformation,’ and ‘malinformation,’ the Federal Government infringed on the constitutionally protected speech rights of American citizens across the United States in a manner that advanced the Government’s preferred narrative about significant matters of public debate. Government censorship of speech is intolerable in a free society.”

It continues:

“It is the policy of the United States to: (a) secure the right of the American people to engage in constitutionally protected speech; (b) ensure that no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent engages in or facilitates any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen; (c) ensure that no taxpayer resources are used to engage in or facilitate any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen; and(d) identify and take appropriate action to correct past misconduct by the Federal Government related to censorship of protected speech.”

Great so far, so what is to be done?

“(a) No Federal department, agency, entity, officer, employee, or agent may act or use any Federal resources in a manner contrary to section 2 of this order. (b) The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report.”

There we go! Was that so hard? This is what the ACLU used to believe before they went the other direction to become a nonprofit enforcer of woke ideology.

Thus is free speech seemingly restored but that is not the end of the story. The plaintiffs should be entitled to a full compensation of all litigation costs, and these should come out of the budgets of the CDC, Department of State, the National Institutes of Health, and any other agency involved in this censorship program.

I think it is imperative that all the facts in the possession of the government no matter where it resides and what it contains needs to be fully disclosed to the American people.  For arguments sake, let us say elements of this release is unflattering or even shockingly criminal to the government...how are we as a nation to get beyond the suspicion and distrust let alone move on to healing and reformation of institutions and repairing trust with We the People if we cannot lay out the truth surrounding these consequential assassinations?

Seems the hearings for Patel, Gabbard & Kennedy see usual suspects ginning up their hate campaigns...

Last week the legacy media was caught pushing the “Committee to Protect Health Care,” an astroturf group linked to Bill Gates that was peddling a fake list of doctors who opposed Robert Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Director.

RFK Jr. will sit before the US Senate this week and begin his confirmation process as the next HHS Director.

According to Breitbart and Alex Jones the group behind this petition, “The Committee to Protect Health Care,” was allowing anyone to sign their anti-RFK Jr. petition claiming to be a doctor. The petition reportedly had over 15,000 leftist doctors sign their letter against Robert Kennedy, Jr.

Except that the 15,000 names were not all doctors. Any yahoo could sign the letter. Of course, NBC News and others ran with this fake petition. They couldn’t resist.

Among the countless reasons to dislike the Democratic Party is their total lack of a sense of humor.

Donald Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, reposted a hilarious video on Truth Social of him “chainsawing” Trump-deranged politicians and left-wing media.

This meme was picked up by the Senate Judiciary Committee, who say it makes him “dangerous and unqualified” for the position of FBI Director.

“Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s pick for FBI Director, shared an AI-generated video of himself chainsawing Members of Congress, political opponents, and media outlets,” the committee wrote on X.

If you have a Senator on any of these Committees, you must make your voice heard!

Kennedy - Finance & Housing, but only Finance will advance his nomination -

Patel - Judiciary -

Gabbard - Intelligence -

https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/ (https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/)

Gabbard has the toughest road, with dipsh*t Collins, if a party-line vote and dipsh*t votes with the demoscats...she'll fail to advance out of committee...immediately putting Thune on the spot...if he fails to hold a vote of the full Senate and/or fails to pass...recess will be the only way...

I have no Senator on Intel, which annoys me.  Hopefully lot's of other folks do.  Let them know penalties will come for failing Our Will!

So what do her opponents bring against her? It’s simple: They lie. Every attack on Tulsi Gabbard is a smear concocted by those desperate to prevent the change voters demanded in November.

Republicans who hold office right now hold it thanks to voters who expect them to help Trump keep his promises. If those same Republicans instead scuttle one of the president’s essential appointments on the basis of establishment smears, then I have a simple promise: They will face a primary challenge. I, and many others, will do whatever it takes to see them replaced. Republicans can either participate in the president’s reform agenda or they can be trampled by it.

It’s up to them. Any questions?

Another of Gabbard’s warnings has since proved to be prophetic. “f President Assad is overthrown,” Gabbard warned in 2017, “then Al Qaeda or a group like Al Qaeda … will take charge of all of Syria.” When Assad was finally toppled last month, the head of the new government became Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the founder of Al-Qaeda’s franchise in Syria and a former deputy leader of ISIS. Jolani’s militia, since renamed Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), is still a U.S. government-designated terrorist organization, though the Biden administration announced in its last days in office that the U.S. will no longer enforce the $10 million U.S. bounty on his head.

Now, back to that Musk thought...

Did ya see this?  This is awesome too!

Those who do not pretend already know the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is the cover agency for CIA influence operations worldwide.  However, technically USAID is supposed to be the charitable side of U.S. government, supporting foreign countries.

If USAID is simply magnanimous and altruistic aid to foreign countries using taxpayer funds, then what exactly is the “classified material” they would need to withhold from DOGE review?

Sometimes all we need are simple questions to destroy the matrix of lies.

WASHINGTON DC – WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they refused to turn over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s government-inspection teams, a current and a former U.S. official told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Members of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, eventually did gain access Saturday to the aid agency’s classified information, which includes intelligence reports, the former official said.


Musk’s DOGE crew lacked high-enough security clearance to access that information, so the two USAID security officials — John Vorhees and deputy Brian McGill — believed themselves legally obligated to deny access.

The current and former U.S. officials had knowledge of the incident and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information. (more)

What is this “classified material” they speak of?

For those who don’t know, USAID is the cover group for CIA intervention in all foreign affairs.

The CIA and State Dept work together. USAID is the sub agency silo that carries out the missions.

The State Dept is the front of house, the dining room. The CIA is the kitchen. USAID are the staff, with DoD as the bussers.

Dissolving USAID into State, removes the cover. The CIA activities become more obvious. Foreign meddling, specifically messing in elections and installing foreign leaders, becomes more difficult.

Just two examples: In order to overthrow Venezuelan President Maduro and open up Venezuela and its oil reserves to US corporations, USAID signed an agreement with the US-backed opposition leader Guaidó in October 2019, according to which USAID will support Guaidó in his efforts to take power in Venezuela with 98 million dollars.

And because Russia does not want to hand over its oil to US corporations either, USAID has received a budget of 598 million dollars for 2020 alone to pay for "free media" that report anti-Russian and pro-Americans.

Just two examples: In order to overthrow Venezuelan President Maduro and open up Venezuela and its oil reserves to US corporations, USAID signed an agreement with the US-backed opposition leader Guaidó in October 2019, according to which USAID will support Guaidó in his efforts to take power in Venezuela with 98 million dollars.

And because Russia does not want to hand over its oil to US corporations either, USAID has received a budget of 598 million dollars for 2020 alone to pay for "free media" that report anti-Russian and pro-Americans.

OK, this is making a lot more sense now...

Kinda to hard to audit something like this (this role as Commissioner of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service is more akin to what the core duties are of a corporate treasurer in any large business...you get to manage how (the various methods like ACH, Wires, Checks, etc) government payments are made.  Kind of hard to get a complete audit of government spending and weed out waste fraud and abuse without the payment component.  How do we know for example if a defense contractor is being paid only what it contracted for?  You get the okie dokie from the Pentagon by their bureaucracy that says it is authorized...but does the authorization match the payment made?  There must be internal reporting back and forth with the various departments...but that doesn't mean things match, you would need source data at the payment nexus and this bureau is that nexus.  Elon, being a savvy businessman knowing how things work is wise to hone in on this nexus.  And, it isn't saying Lebryk is guilty of anything...he could be following all legalities and protocols established who knows how long ago...but in any large outfit cracks can appear in processes...and he is operating on authorizations from upstream...but without access to the system it will be probably impossible to trace back any waste fraud and abuse to an authorizing officer.

Understanding Trump's Sovereign Wealth Fund: How this undermines the Federal Reserve

Yesterday, among all the buzz related to Canada and Mexico tariffs, Trump began the process of establishing an American Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF). The move was almost unnoticed. In fact, it seems somewhat crazy that the US did not already have an SWF - but decades of financial mismanagement by the US government played a role. The other reason the United States did not have an SWF is because of the Federal Reserve Bank. The creation of an SWF effectively returns financial power to the American Republic. The following explains what it is and why it pulls power away from the Fed.

Sovereign Wealth Funds are essentially government investment programs - a nest egg of sorts. Every single American state has some sort of publicly funded fund, usually to cover pension programs. Globally, some of the best managed countries (financially) have a SWF, including China, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Norway - among others. The largest SWF is Norway's, with $1.7 Trillion in assets, the proceeds of which are serving the needs of 5.5 million Norwegian citizens. It should be noted that many poorer countries also have SWFs, often as a means to enrich kleptocrats.

Without getting into the nitty gritty, an American SWF would likely mirror a 401K type investment program. It would hold a mixed allotment of various commodities, stocks, and bonds, which should appreciate year over year through compound interest and earnings. Generally, SWF's usually only rise - albeit often slowly - because they invest in safer assets, like bonds and commodities (oil, gas, gold, etc). Stocks are often either a blue chip variety or a corporate pursuit aligned with a national interest. The managers of the SWF are held accountable based on the performance of the SWF, which generally leads them to avoid personal passions or silly sociopolitical pursuits.

How this is structured would have to ensure that such funding is not robbed by a future leftist president who only invests in DEI, LGBTQ nonsense, or failing green energy schemes. It also needs to be defended from being used as a money pot to increase spending arbitrarily. That can be done, but Trump will need to recruit people who think like leftwing activists to help insulate future abuse of the SWF by another activist presidency. When I did my MBA Capstone project on International Finance, restructured SWFs and fiscal sovereignty for the Republic of Ireland were my two key points back when Ireland was climbing out of a massive post-bank collapse indebted status. The Irish government has since turned one SWF into a social justice piggy bank (something I feared and warned against almost 15 years ago). Thus, Trump will need to really dot every "i" and cross every "t" to ensure that does not happen in the US. But it can be done.

Now, how does this undermine the Fed? It immediately eliminates the Fed's monopoly on debt management. In essence, it crushes the Fed by acting as a counterweight to its debt/loan/repayment structure.

For those unaware, the Federal Reserve is the largest holder of US debt in the world. In effect, an unelected American quasi-government agency holds about one-third of our massive debt. The Fed literally makes money on American spending, by charging interest back to the American people. The reason politicians ignore the debt is that they know it is a ponzi scheme. The more we spend, the higher the Fed can raise rates, the more it makes, the more it can re-loan... cycle, repeat. It is a shylock's dream (look up what a shylock is and you will quickly see the main culprits).

If the US has an SWF that is structured to meet some of its budgetary needs (as with Norway), the US will not need to turn to the Fed as its default move. The money can be withdrawn from proceeds off earnings, which cuts the Fed out of its loan shark game - or at least diminishes it. By establishing an alternative pot of money, Trump is weakening the Fed almost overnight. In business, such redirected investments protect against hard times and mitigate predatory banking manuevers. An SWF - if it is built correctly - can do that for the American people.

It is a smart move by the Trump team - IF they can pull it off and insulate it from wild leftist pursuits. The latter is easier said then done. One option is to study the investment strategies of Jimmy Patronis, former CFO of Florida, who led Florida to multi-billion year-over-year surpluses without an income tax while crushing Blackrock. Other funds that should be studied are out of the UAE and, of course the most successful of them all, Norway. This can be a huge win for Americans - if the Fed doesn't kill the idea in its infancy, or the leader who proposed the idea.

We need to lock this down so no other leftist lunatic can mess with it or raid it for insane socialist BS!  And we need to make sure the Fed doesn't have a damn thing to do with it, ever!

Do those two things and it's a fantastic idea.

Also, looking forward to the Strategic Crypto Reserve getting up, let's get that going!

Trump's Attack On The Deep State Is Spectacular And Almost Certainly Legal

...
First, Trump’s refusal to fund corrupt agencies: Since 1801, under the aegis of Thomas Jefferson, presidents have had a power known as impoundment. This means the president gets to decide how to spend—or not spend—money that Congress has allocated.

In other words, the generation that ratified the Constitution believed that this was an appropriate exercise of executive power. However, in 1974, in yet another piece of Watergate fallout, Congress enacted the “Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974,” which says that the president must submit to Congress his plans not to spend money.

Given the history of impoundment (the ratifying generation approved of it), it's highly unlikely that this act is constitutional. The fact that no president has yet challenged it doesn’t change this reality. Additionally, because Trump has a majority in Congress, if he were to submit his impoundment plan, the greater likelihood is that it would give him a pass. (RINOs would have a hard time explaining to voters why they want America to pay for “trans” comic books in Peru.)

Second, Trump’s ability to fire employees: Here’s a slimmed-down version of the history of presidential power in this area.
...
Things changed in the 1930s when an activist Supreme Court created a new standard, which has affected (or infected) the government to this day: It held that if Congress designates an agency as “independent,” Congress, not the president, has the power over dismissal, with the president as its agent. This was the go-ahead to create a fourth branch of government that is neither legislative, executive, nor judicial, although, as we’ve repeatedly seen, these “independent” agencies all claim those powers.

The big issue of our day is whether these “independent” agencies are constitutional—I say they’re not because they are not one of the three branches of government established under the Constitution. Thankfully, the Supreme Court has, of late, been pulling back from the 1930s template

The recission clock begins, Pres. notes the reasons, Congress has 45 days to vote to agree...a vote failure or not having a vote would both keep the spending in place...

This...this is sick -

Earlier today, we found out that the FBI had changed its mind about complying with a lawful order to provide the Department of Justice specifics about the personnel involved in the January 6 riot investigation. Leadership had threatened to refuse, some senior officials advised agents to be insubordinate, and the media lost their minds, as usual. And now we know why the FBI's senior ranks might have wanted to keep it quiet.

It turns out that Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland committed 13% of the FBI to investigating the riot, emphasis mine:

FBI officials have complied with demands to provide the Justice Department with a list of thousands of employees who worked on investigations related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot, according to people familiar with the situation.

The demand has caused consternation among FBI employees who fear it is meant to amass a list of personnel for possible termination by the Trump administration.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, in a Friday memo with the subject line “Terminations,” had given FBI officials a noon deadline Tuesday to submit the names of thousands of agents and analysts. Bove previously ordered the firing of eight senior FBI officials, including those who oversaw cyber, national security and criminal investigations.

More than 5,000 names were submitted, sources said. There are more than 13,000 agents and 38,000 total FBI employees.

This is one of those...

Good morning kids. Now that the light has been turned on in the kitchen so to speak, President Donald Trump is not only dousing everything with Plutonium-infused RAID, and the cockroaches who were once doing the multi-trillion dollar mambo to "hey baba-rebop" as per the old Robert Klein routine, but they are shrieking in anger and terror. Hopefully they'll go legs up any second now and can be swept up and disposed a la the garbage trucks in Soylent Green, to be turned into Soylent Marxist insect meat and force-fed to the Greta Thunbergs of this world, until they choke on it.

Considering our budget over the past couple decades has soared into the trillions, the fact that USAID was allocated merely billions each year still is significant in that all the money, minus whatever was skimmed off the top to wet the beaks of the Democrats, went to a veritable rogues gallery of anti-American, anti-Western crackpot, terroristic thugocracies, kleptocrats and tyrants that have shed rivers o blood of their own people and us in the process. Those who are shrieking loudest are both in on the grift and hate this country as much if not more than the scum getting the dough-rey-mi. And this is just USAID, wait until the DOge axe really starts being wielded at the rest of the bureaucracy.

And speaking of cockroaches shrieking out their death rattle, this will warm the cockles of your heart:

The reaction of some U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID) employees when the Dept. of Government Efficiency (DOGE) came to their Washington D.C. office last week is raising more questions about the shadowy agency.
Contractor Kristina Drye, who is employed at USAID described to ABC News a scene reminiscent of the kind of mad scramble historically witnessed when a corrupt government has fallen and officials are desperately trying to get rid of evidence of wrongdoing.

Drye described USAID employees taking down pride flags and removing books that she felt might be “incriminating” as well as how “no one was talking” as DOGE team members began their review of the operations of the agency that sends billions of taxpayer dollars abroad for a variety of reasons ranging from disaster relief to funding regime change.

She described her concerns over DOGE setting up automatic transcription of USAID employee Google meets and how, over the weekend, she lost access to work computer.

USAID’s Director of Security John Voorhees and his deputy Brian McGill were both placed on administrative leave after denying system access to DOGE employees who were eventually able to gain access to the secure systems in order to conduct their analysis.

Such actions seem out of place considering that USAID employees and managers have had since early November to anticipate the incoming Trump administration and the anticipated arrival of DOGE.

Hiding flags and books and attempting to prevent access to the systems that track secretive government payments lend more strength to the concerns about fraud expressed by Elon Musk than they do to claims that USAID is operating with full transparency and accountability.

President Trump ordered a 90 day pause in foreign development assistance via USAID while the DOGE team reviews that agency’s efficiencies and consistency with the new administration’s foreign policy objectives.

For FBI Director nominee, Kash Patel, the Senate Judiciary Committee has internal rules that permit the Democrats to delay the committee vote for a week.  Judiciary Committee Chair Senate Chuck Grassley expects Kash Patel to receive the committee vote next week.

WASHINGTON DC – Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley said in a statement Tuesday his committee plans to take a final vote on FBI director nominee Kash Patel as early as next week.

The committee has a business meeting scheduled for Thursday to consider Patel’s nomination. Under committee rules, Democrats can delay the full committee vote for one more week, at which point senators are expected to advance the nominee along party lines to the full Senate for confirmation.


Senate Judiciary Democrats on Tuesday asked Grassley for another hearing to question Patel on several matters, including the recent personnel shakeup at the FBI. Grassley denied their request. (read more)

At least Grassley is nuking their BS demands.

Gotta wrap this up.

I have another theory on this entire confirmation process, but will share later as I want to see how it plays out in its entirety...

And, this ...this is extending on the previous EO's declaring economic emergency & tariffs...is pure brilliance...and Trump's response about meeting Xi - "I'm in no hurry"...is pure gold!

How do we get there from here? Like this:

Mahmoud Abbas, now in the 19th year of his 4-year term as President of the Palestine Authority, asks Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Ruler of Dubai, Vice President, and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, to make Gaza a protectorate of Dubai. Gaza will fly the Palestinian flag, and Abbas will be its head of state, but Sheikh Mohammed's men will actually govern Gaza. The Israelis will be okay with this, because the United Arab Emirates signed a peace treaty with Israel as part of the Abraham Accords.
Trump's Mideast envoy (and fellow real estate developer) Steve Witkoff coordinates the launch of a real estate investment trust (REIT) with the sovereign wealth funds of Dubai and the Saudis. The REIT could be called The Gaza Redevelopment Trust. The Palestine Authority gets an equity stake in it.
Egypt gets an equity stake in the REIT too, in return for temporarily housing the Gazans in refugee camps in Sinai.
The United States gets an equity stake too.
The Gazans go to Sinai.
The Gaza Redevelopment Trust goes public in a giant IPO, with The Trump Organization committed to supervise/license local developers. The Israeli government buys into the IPO.
Gaza gets redeveloped as a second Dubai. Abbas and other senior Palestine Authority figures get luxury condos in Trump Tower Gaza, as do senior Egyptian government officials.
Equity holders in the REIT all profit, including the Gazans, via the Palestine Authority, which uses some of its profits to buy land for and develop a permanent home for the Gazans somewhere on the Egyptian or Saudi coast.

Everyone in the region profits from the new Gaza, and has a stake in making sure it stays peaceful and prosperous. And America makes a little profit from the deal too.

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-sign-order-barring-men-womens-sports (https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trump-sign-order-barring-men-womens-sports)

...the way God and nature ALWAYS intended it.

And, here is where the fun begins to pick up pace...

New Attorney General Pam Bondi just issued a directive to freeze all federal funding to sanctuary cities, according to Fox News. Bondi issued a slew of directives today, but this one will surely get a lot of attention.

It was near the bottom of the article by Fox News, so I’ll just put it at the top of mine:

And as for illegal migrants, Bondi has directed the DOJ to pause all federal funding for sanctuary cities.

Bondi has also directed the DOJ to identify and evaluate all funding agreements with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that provide support to illegal aliens.

She is also directing litigating components of the Justice Department to investigate instances of jurisdictions that are impeding law enforcement, and directing they be prosecuted, when necessary.

You can definitely expect a lawsuit to be filed soon because these sanctuary cities spend a lot of taxpayer money and they won’t be happy about being denied federal funds.

Here’s more on the other directives by AG Bondi from Fox News, which are also quite substantial:

Attorney General Pam Bondi will issue several major directives on her first day leading the Justice Department, including orders to combat the weaponization of the legal system; make prosecutors seek the death penalty when appropriate; and work with the Department of Homeland Security to “completely eliminate” cartels and transnational criminal organizations, Fox News Digital has learned.

Fox News Digital exclusively obtained memos outlining Bondi’s first-day directives, which will lay the groundwork for the Justice Department under her leadership.

Bondi issued a directive regarding “zealous advocacy.” Bondi said DOJ attorneys’ responsibilities include “aggressively enforcing criminal laws passed by Congress, but also vigorously defending presidential policies and actions on behalf of the United States against legal challenges.”

Bondi, in the memo, states that “any Justice Department attorney who declines to sign a brief, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the Trump administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the Justice Department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination.”

Bondi is set to establish the “Weaponization Working Group,” which will review the activities of all law enforcement agencies over the past four years to identify instances of “politicized justice.”

The working group’s first reviews will include prosecutions against Trump led by former Special Counsel Jack Smith; Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg; and the civil fraud case brought against Trump and his family by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

The working group will also review any potential prosecutorial abuse regarding Jan. 6, 2021; the FBI’s targeting of Catholic Americans; the Justice Department’s targeting of parents at school board meetings; and FACE Act abuses.

Meanwhile, Bondi also will end the moratorium on federal executions and order that federal prosecutors at the Department of Justice, including U.S. attorney’s offices, seek the death penalty when appropriate —specifically with a focus on violent drug trafficking crimes.

Bondi also ordered that the Justice Department “re-evaluate instances of the prior administration electing not to seek the death penalty.”

Bondi also is expected to rescind any DOJ policies that are “not sufficiently in line with President Trump’s death penalty executive order.”

As for cartels, Bondi is directing the Justice Department to work closely with the Department of Homeland Security and other federal partners to “completely eliminate” the threats of cartels and transnational criminal organizations.

Bondi plans to re-imagine charging priorities relating to those cases in order to ensure that law enforcement resources are focused on dismantling the foundational operational capacity of cartels, as opposed to just picking off low-level offenders.

Here, the Justice Department is expected to temporarily suspend some “bureaucratic approvals and reviews” in order to prioritize speedy prosecutions and captures of those accused of severe offenses like capital crimes, terrorism, or aiding the operations of cartels.

The U.S. Supreme Court case South Dakota v. Dole (1987) dealt with the federal government's power to influence state policy through conditional grants.

Reasoning of the Supreme Court:

The Court upheld the law in a 7-2 decision, with Chief Justice Rehnquist writing the majority opinion. The ruling was based on the following reasoning:

    Spending Power & Conditions:
        The Court held that Congress has broad authority under the Spending Clause (Article I, Section 8) to set conditions on federal funds given to states.
        The withholding of 5% of highway funds was considered a valid exercise of this power.

    Four-Part Test for Conditional Grants:
    The Court established a test to determine the constitutionality of conditional federal funding:
        The spending must promote the general welfare.
        The conditions must be unambiguous.
        The conditions must be related to the federal interest in the particular program.
        The conditions must not violate other constitutional provisions.

USAID lost 20 billion on investment when Russia discovered the Washington-run biolabs in Ukraine.

This is the 2nd largest loss of investment since US withdrew from a fruitless operation in Afghanistan.

Note* - "full scale & unprovoked invasion" is likely terminology from USAID itself.

In 2009, I served as a senior investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. One of my investigations focused on USAID's funding of heroin production in Afghanistan.

Powerful forces in D.C. were outraged by my inquiry

- John Kiriakou, former CIA Agent (https://x.com/JohnKiriakou/status/1886194363681714578)

He says in the clip that powerful forces wanted drug production to continue at massive levels because this heroin would flow to Iran and Russia, and he was told "we want them to be addicted to heroin because it weakens their societies."

Unreal admission that the US was actively involved in trying to get Russians addicted to drugs.

How Trump Is SHORT-CIRCUITING The Media Narrative Control System!

Since the moment the oath of office left his lips, Donald Trump has been employing a “flood the zone” approach to governance, overwhelming the opposition, the media, the courts and the public with a head-spinning array of executive orders and executive actions.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how this approach not only puts all Trump’s critics on the defensive, practically knocking them off their feet, but also disrupts the narrative driving channels embedded withing the Deep State-media nexus.

Rather dramatic writing but cool. About the coders at DOGE in Treasury.
https://voxday.net/2025/02/08/blitzing-the-deep-state/

Blitzing the Deep State

How the President’s team is overwhelming the entrenched bureaucracy with an unprecedented technological blitzkrieg:
Quote
    In Treasury’s basement, fluorescent lights hummed above four young coders. Their screens cast blue light across government-issue desks, illuminating energy drink cans and agency badges. As their algorithms crawled through decades of payment data, one number kept growing: $17 billion in redundant programs. And counting.

    “We’re in,” Akash Bobba messaged the team. “All of it.”
...
“The beautiful thing about payment systems,” noted a transition official watching their screens, “is that they don’t lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail.”

That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.

By 6 AM, Treasury’s career officials began arriving for work. They found systems they thought impenetrable already mapped. Networks they believed hidden already exposed. Power structures built over decades revealed in hours. Their traditional defenses—slow-walking decisions, leaking damaging stories, stonewalling requests—proved useless against an opponent moving faster than their systems could react. By the time they drafted their first memo objecting to this breach, three more systems had already been mapped…

USAID fell next. No midnight raids this time. No secret algorithms. Just a simple memo on agency letterhead: “Pursuant to Executive Authority…”
...

Nobody will miss the penny...such a PITA for many years now...

But I would miss Abe and his memorial on the reverse side...

So I propose one demotion and two promotions...

Whack FDR from the dime...move Jefferson from nickel to dime...and Lincoln from penny to nickel.

Then, when the nickel becomes obsolete (it may be now!) and the dime (also could be now!) I'd go to just Quarter (Lincoln), Half (Jefferson) and Dollar (Washington) and call it good for coinage...

But...in reality all coinage is heading for obsolescence...maybe we should just get there sooner rather than later...shouldn't be too hard to round things to the nearest dollar and for little cheap things just up the volume you get for a dollar...

Digitally though need decimals for interest, fractional shares in trades etc...  We can trim to whatever for currency while it is still in use...

Rome fell because they had no common sense reformist with a mandate from the people like Donald Trump has...they fell in large part because they had no DOGE, no will to reign in the corruption, waste, fraud and abuse...

https://youtu.be/S5-XIzqltdo (https://youtu.be/S5-XIzqltdo)

Senator Lindsey Graham (U-DC) was asked for his thoughts and perspectives about USAID today during a press conference.

Senator Lindsey Graham is senior senator in charge of the upper chamber oversight of foreign government influence operations via the “150 account” that supports the goals and objectives of the State Dept.

Senator Lindsey Graham culminates his entire political career in one brief segment of pretending not to know.

We can officially say this moment achieves ‘peak Graham.’  The part where Graham tells former USAID Director Samantha Power to “quit texting me” is epic.

It is said that in 1860 literary master Ralph Waldo Emerson found a stargate, entered and traveled to this day in history.  Upon return, he wrote:

“The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.”

Every face tells a story:

Lot of sick and embarrassed looking folks in that pic!

Peak Graham!   ::laughonfloor::

This is what makes Trump so great...Pubbies can be embarrassed into getting out of the way...not the toxic-leftists...they take to the streets and spew hate and lies ad nauseum...because they are seeing their whole corrupt enterpise crumble before their eyes...

The louder they bitch, they crazier they get, the more vile they become means we are dead on target!

And about all this lawfare being waged yet again at President Trump...

“I’m not, even today, certain what the constitutional problem is,” he noted.

https://slaynews.com/news/jonathan-turley-baffled-court-intruding-significantly-trump-executive-authority/

That's it!  There is NO Constitutional issue...by employing lawfare yet again the butthurt losers in the Toxic-Left ranks are filing frivolous lawsuits to slow, not stop (the issue is when not if SCOTUS ends their BS) Trump's executive power they are urinating all over Constitutional Executive powers.

On this see the comments by Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy -

https://dailycaller.com/2025/02/12/mccarthy-dismantles-dem-claims-doge/

...it is a matter of when SCOTUS takes up these ridiculously bogus challenges and injunctions!

IMO they are doing a severe disservice to America and it's voters who gave President Trump a clear mandate for the change he promised if they foolishly defer to the long slow route to ending the Constitutional crisis being perpetrated by the Toxic-Left!

And we must fight back, failure to do so is insane and defeatist!

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(c), judges can issue injunctions “ONLY IF” the suing party posts a bond to cover potential damages if they’re wrong.
.
.
The government has expert economists who can easily price out the cost of policies like birthright citizenship or wasteful spending. Price injunction bonds fairly, and frivolous lawsuits become a financial risk, not a free pass.
.
.
Without injunction bonds, the American people bear all the costs of activists and judges blocking the agenda they voted for.  Why should activists and judges get to overrule the American people with no penalty if they’re wrong?
.
.
For national injunctions, we’re talking bonds in the hundreds of millions or even billions. It will become prohibitive unless the activists have a slam dunk case.

If a judge tries to lowball the bond amount, it’s a quick and easy reversal given the unambiguous language in the federal rules.

The best part? This doesn’t block activists from court; it just stops them from using preliminary injunctions to pause government action based on arguments that might not hold up in an appellate court.
https://revolver.news/2025/02/x-user-reveals-how-doge-can-beat-left-wing-activist-judges-at-their-own-game/

Do this!  Use 65(c), use it now in all these damned lawfare cases!!!

FBI SAIC stands for Special Agent in Charge. It is a title used to refer to the head of a field office within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The SAIC is responsible for overseeing the operations of the office, managing personnel, and ensuring that investigations are conducted properly. The role is critical in the FBI’s structure as it helps to ensure that the agency’s work is coordinated at regional levels and that agents and other staff are following federal laws and policies.

Each SAIC oversees a particular geographic area or specific investigative unit within the FBI.

Also FBI has 13000 agents. 5000 worked on Jan 6.

Removing the Obstructions

Karl Denninger explains how President Trump can stop all of the preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders being used to obstruct his executive orders:
Quote
    (c) Security. The court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained. The United States, its officers, and its agencies are not required to give security.

    The Federal Government does not have to post such a bond but States and other filers do.

    The amount must be sufficient to compensate the loser, so if you ask for a national TRO or injunction in the general sense we’re talking about millions — or even billions. In the case of fraudulent payments being uncovered, as is currently the case, the potential damage from an injunction is in the tens of billions of dollars and the moving states must post said bond.


    Who’s going to write that bond? Nobody, in that sort of amount, so they’d have to post it in cash.

    Why isn’t the Trump Administration demanding that said bonds be posted with all such filings?

ChtGPT

In the United States, an ex parte order is a court order that is issued without the presence of the opposing party. These orders are typically granted in emergency situations where immediate action is needed, and it's not feasible or practical to give the other party notice beforehand. For an ex parte order to be granted, the following requirements are generally needed:

    Urgency or Emergency: The person seeking the order must demonstrate that there is an urgent situation that requires immediate intervention. Without the ex parte order, the applicant may suffer irreparable harm or damage.

    Application or Motion: The party seeking the ex parte order must file a formal request (motion or application) with the court. This document should explain why the emergency is happening, why immediate relief is needed, and why notice to the opposing party isn't possible or would harm the applicant.

    Affidavit or Declaration: The person seeking the order is usually required to submit an affidavit or declaration. This is a sworn written statement of facts that supports the need for the ex parte order. It should provide details of the emergency situation, including any evidence that justifies the order and the reasons for not notifying the other party in advance.

    Legal Basis: The request must be supported by applicable law or legal precedent that justifies the granting of an ex parte order. This means that the applicant must show that there is a legal basis (such as a statute or case law) that allows for the emergency order.

    Specificity: The order must be specific about what action the court is directing. It cannot be vague or overly broad.

    Temporary Nature: Ex parte orders are often temporary. The court may set a later date for a full hearing where the opposing party will have the opportunity to present their side of the case. This is usually called a "return hearing" or "show cause hearing."

    Bond or Security (in some cases): In certain cases, the person seeking the ex parte order may be required to post a bond or security. This ensures that if the ex parte order was granted improperly or without sufficient cause, the opposing party can be compensated for any damages.

It seems that much of the treasury stuff is speculative. An increased risk of hacking? Those Musk SW guys are very sharp and they have only read access.

Years ago the Fed OPM database was stolen by Chinese. It included the field notes for investigations on security clearances and updates.
E.g. patentlymn drinks too much and i see underage boys leaving his house at night. I.e. blackmail material. Use it to trap senior US officials through hidden cameras then blackmail.  A guy wrote into Airs Technica(?) saying he was brought in to manage the OPM DB work. Subcontractors included an Argentine national in Argentina and a Chinese national in  China. It was not hacked. Someone used  real user name and password and took the entire database.

I'll bet decades of no audits mean decades of fraud.

Not understanding the speculative, as for honeytrapping, that's an oldie but a goodie, especially for already corrupt bureaucrats who probably don't need much of a push...and not much of a hack if you get someone's access...that's super low-hanging fruit...

Yet more reason to flush out the corrupt, the lazy, the stupid and the incompetent...

“Fortunately, my awesome team at the EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight,” Zeldin said.
Quote
It gets worse.

Zeldin said the $20 billion was “awarded to just 8 entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to NGOs and others at their discretion with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.”

He continued, “The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated and the bank must immediately return all the gold bars that the Biden Administration tossed off the Titanic. EPA needs to assume responsibility of all these funds. We will review every penny that has gone out the door. I will referring this matter to the inspector general’s office and will work with the Justice Department as well.”

There are some reality checks are free trade and de-industrialization. There are models 'showing' that free trade benefits a country even if it results in de-industrialization.   Reality shows otherwise. Sanctions against Russia were supposed to kill their economy. In effect free trade was curtailed. Their economy is doing OK. How is that possible?

I read this book. https://www.amazon.com/Free-Trade-Doesnt-Work-Replace/dp/0578079674 (https://www.amazon.com/Free-Trade-Doesnt-Work-Replace/dp/0578079674)

And, yes...reciprocal tariffs, the BEST tariffs to wield because they eliminate unfair advantages and re-level the playing field to fairness!

With “reciprocal tariffs” the Commerce Dept and USTR will now determine the trade imbalances with each individual country and will evaluate each FTA (Free Trade Agreement), one-by-one to deconflict the trade imbalance.  Direct tariffs, subsidies, regulatory hurdles, non-monetary trade barriers and hidden export subsidies will be addressed as part of the reciprocity evaluation.  This is a completely new dynamic in the era of modern global trade and economics.

Some last minute Biden actions such as the last minute immigration judges appointed are explained.

He explains the "expedited removal" process. It will allow immediate deportation of illegals after a decision in front of border patrol agents NOT judges.  Illegals would have to prove they have been here for 2 years to avoid expedited deportation.

In a shocking move, the Trump administration has dismissed 20 immigration judges without explanation. But is there more to this story than meets the eye?

In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into:

The recent firing of immigration judges and its potential implications

Trump's possible two-pronged strategy behind these dismissals

The expansion of "Expedited Removal" and how it could revolutionize deportation processes

Why the current immigration court system might be intentionally slow

The potential for mass deportations on a scale not seen since Operation Wetback in 1954

Are we witnessing the first steps of a grand plan to fulfill Trump's campaign promises on immigration? Watch now to uncover the truth behind these recent developments and what they could mean for the future of immigration in America.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad/118713

In 2014, there were riots in Ukraine, which were called the "Maidan" and we weren't told that we (the US) were financing them - the newspapers did not write about it, the government did not tell us about it.

USAID, which is a CIA showcase, put $5 billion into organizing these riots. These riots led to a coup against the first democratically elected government of Ukraine. It did not want to choose a side, did not say "we will be on the side of the West" - and we decided to overthrow it.

A month before the coup, Victoria Nuland, a key figure in the neocons, secretly called the US ambassador (the content of the conversation had already been made public) and during the conversation she selected people for the new Ukrainian Cabinet. That is, a month before the coup they were selecting a new government.

USAID and the CIA do not deal with democracy. The CIA overthrew 83 governments around the world from 1947 to 1997 - that's a third of all governments in the world. And most of them were democracies.

So much good news!

At the end of last week, the Department of Education (ED) issued a directive to public schools across the country, ordering them to either abandon diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices or risk the loss of federal funding.

As the Daily Caller reports, the department’s Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Craig Trainor, issued a letter saying that “educational institutions have toxically indoctrinated students with the false premise that the United States is built upon ‘systemic and structural racism’ and advanced discriminatory policies and practices.”

“Under the banner of ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (‘DEI’),” Trainor’s letter explained, certain individuals and organizations have been “smuggling racial stereotypes and explicit race-consciousness into everyday training, programming, and discipline.”

While the previous administration vehemently forced such initiatives on public schools in the name of “diversity,” the Trump Administration has declared these practices to be in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

As such, any schools that continue to endorse or engage in these programs “may, consistent with applicable law, face potential loss of federal funding,” Trainor declared.

Eruption In "BleachBit," "Wipe Hard Drive," "Offshore Bank" Searches In DC Suggest Deep State Panic Mode

Internet search trends in the Washington, DC, metro area have been nothing short of stunning in recent weeks, reflecting what appears to be growing panic within the federal bureaucracy as President Trump and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) root out corruption in non-governmental organizations (NGO) and federal agencies.

Earlier this week, internet search trends for "Criminal Defense Lawyer" and "RICO Laws" went viral on X, fueling speculation that Washington's political elites were in panic mode. The searches coincided with DOGE's efforts to neuter USAID's funding of NGOs that propped up a shadow government, as well as begin cutting tens of thousands of workers from various federal agencies.

Now, more suspicious search trends have erupted among DC residents as DOGE efforts went into beast mode at the end of the week.

"Washington DC searches soar for "Swiss bank" (yellow), "offshore bank" (green), "wire money" (red) and "IBAN" (blue)," WikiLeaks wrote on X late Thursday.

Search terms "Wipe" (blue) and "Erase" (red) also moved higher in recent weeks. Wipe hard drives?

Well, yes, the search term "wipe hard drive" across the DC metro has gone absolutely parabolic.

And "BleachBit" too!

Searches for "lawyers" have jumped.

"Statute of limitations" also soared.

This is dammed good too....  Call out FJB destruction and with ridicule!

I enjoy Kevin ‘Sid‘ Hassett very much.  He was awesome in Trump’s first term as an economic advisor, and he’s even better in term two as the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC).

When the people who controlled Joe Biden lost the 2024 election, they were angry.  They wanted to leave President Trump with as big a mess as possible and all actions were taken to create chaos that Trump would have to deal with.  Intellectually honest people noticed.

Part of their chaos operation was to drive up the cost of food, intentionally create inflation that Trump would have to handle.  The “bird flu” issue was part of the plan.  After the 2020 election the U.S. Dept of Agriculture ordered millions of chickens to be killed.  Simple quarantine process was dismissed in favor of a ridiculous slaughter.

During a CBS interview today, Margaret Brennan asked Kevin Hassett what the Trump administration was going to do about food inflation, and specifically the astronomical cost of eggs.  Hassett outlined the plan by first reminding Brennan that regarding spread, chickens don’t fly; ducks and geese do.  I almost spit out my coffee.  I enjoy Kevin Hassett.

Yeah, part of what is wrong with everything in the bureaucracy...

"Acting" leadership always comes around at the start of a new Administration as old leaders bail, get sacked or asked to resign...and typically need to name an acting from somebody already vetted, which means pulling somebody out of the existing ranks...which show's how deep the rot goes as we are finding out everywhere...

 ::outrage::

Gotta lot of crap to flush...

And there is going to have to be legislation holding all bureaucrats accountable to We the People and only We the People...but given priorities that will likely be a mid-term battle and a banner to run on for MAGA Republican's and a hammer to pound toxic-leftists resisting such necessary accountability.

This guy used to work in Russia now in Belgium.
1. Trump sent Kellogg around to spout the usual neocon warmonger stuff to placate our allies. Then he sends Rubio and Vance to deliver the hammer blows to EU,

2.  State dept then asks EU countries  to list the numbers and timing of troops to be used in possible peacekeeping duties.  They squabble, come up with nothing and cannot agree on anything. So the EU, not Trump, killed the peacekeepers for now.

3.  US asks Ze to sign over minerals as payment for past US expenditures. Ze refuses. So Ze is responsible for  future cut off in US aid.

4. The US, Obama(?) did a lot of petty stuff to RU embassies. US seized some properties, kicked out people. Turns out all bank accounts for RU embassies in US were shut down Also their is no RU ambassador in US until US approves, so negotiations are hard. That is likely the subject of current talks.

No Kazakh oil  through the pipeline for now. 

https://t.me/myLordBebo/59679
🇷🇺🇪🇺🇺🇸🇰🇿 Putin has offered foreign shareholders of the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which transports Kazakh oil, to supply equipment to repair the pipeline after yesterday's drone attack despite sanctions.

"If foreign investors are interested in restoring the CPC's operations, then let them, despite all the sanctions, organize the delivery of the necessary equipment"

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said that a Ukrainian drone attacked the CPC facility is “Ukraine’s response to the negotiations between the Russian Federation and the United States.”

The shareholders of CPC are:
- PJSC Transneft (trust management) (24%)
- JSC NC KazMunayGas (19%)
- Chevron Caspian Pipeline Consortium Company (15%)
- Lukoil International GmbH (12.5%)
- Mobil Caspian Pipeline Company (7.5%)
- Rosneft-Shell Caspian Ventures Limited (7.5%)
- LLC MC CPC Company (7%)
- BG Overseas Holdings Limited (2%)
- Eni International NANVSar.l. (2%)
- Kazakhstan Pipeline Ventures LLC (1.75%)
- Oryx Caspian Pipeline LLC (1.75%)

This pipeline is the main route for exporting Kazakh oil to the world market.

Crisis in Washington DC

The U.S. capital is facing tough times amid Trump's shock therapy. The average cost of housing in Washington, D.C., has plummeted by 20% since November 2024—from $700,000 to $560,000. At the same time, the number of vacant homes has sharply increased.

In suburban areas surrounding Washington, the number of homes being sold urgently has surged by 60-80%. Residents are fleeing the city to escape mass layoffs, with tens of thousands of government employees already laid off—a figure that could soon rise into the hundreds of thousands.

Unemployment in the District of Columbia is also rising rapidly, plunging the de facto U.S. capital into a deep recession. The crisis is also hitting neighboring states hard; Maryland, for instance, is experiencing worsening financial troubles, with local municipal bonds now trading at junk levels.

Counties adjacent to Washington, such as Fairfax—among the wealthiest in the U.S.—have long benefited from federal budget inflows. With Trump cutting off this flow, problems are emerging. As for Washington itself, the city is already overwhelmed by homelessness and migrants, with crime rates soaring.

Washington, D.C., is setting new records for car thefts. Recently, a Democrat congressman had his car stolen at gunpoint just five minutes from the Capitol. Many lawmakers now sleep in Congress buildings out of fear of venturing outside. If funding continues to dwindle, Washington risks becoming fully ghettoized, resembling Detroit.

...the media did not care who had access to that data during the Biden years.

One report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration revealed that as of September 2023, there were as many as 919 individuals who had access to unmasked IRS data.

The unmasked data contains personally identifiable information and “requires executive level approval” to access.

Roughly 20 of those individuals were “researchers and student volunteers.”

In other words, the media and the Democrats had no reason to be concerned about novices and young people accessing information in our government until the Trump administration came into power — and until that power was used to threaten the bureaucracy they love so dearly.

Many of the changes made by trump are undoing changes made by Biden at the last minute.
One of these was a NYC congestion pricing tax recently undone by Trump.

In a shocking turn of events, President Trump's DOT has pulled the plug on New York City's much-debated $9 congestion toll. This video breaks down the drama:

Why Gov. Hochul is furious and threatening legal action

This story is absolutely hilarious.

We first heard about this back in December, but there were not as many details. Now, Sean Spicer has shared the entire saga with Glenn Beck.

In a nutshell, back in the fall of 2021, Spicer was serving on a couple of different boards. His term was set to end in November, but Biden fired him and some other conservatives in September, seemingly just to be a petty jerk.

Spicer then sued the Biden administration, for the sole purpose of losing and having a court of law affirm that Biden could fire whoever he wanted. It worked. Spicer lost the lawsuit. Then they went to an appeals court, which ALSO said that Biden, as president, had the power to fire anyone.

Fast forward to now. Trump has just fired the entire board of the Kennedy Center and they can’t do a darn thing about it. Why? Because Spicer forced the Biden administration to defend Spicer’s firing, which is now being cited as the legal precedent. It’s an ultimate FAFO.

The corruptocrats are tyrants who love exercising what Frank Herbert in his Dune books calls "hydraulic despotism"...which he seems to have gotten from Karl August Wittfogel...is basically "access control" of water or literally, any essential commodity or service...

Corruptocrats like Hochul want "normal" access to New York via motorized vehicles restricted to primarily the wealthy elite, without saying so outright and blathering about the wonderful public transportation options available if you can tolerate crime and violence and being prosecuted for defending yourself against sundry criminal scum they tolerate...while the wealthy elite can drive their Beamers and Hummers or be shuttled about in fully-loaded limo's with less traffic to impede their time which is vastly more important than any mere serf about town...

And yeah, Trump lives rent-free in the heads of these corruptocrats because the latter are completely incapable of relating to every day Americans who just want to work, provide for their families, live in a decent home and live an unmolested life...

President's have always had that authority...the difference is opposition parties only ever bitched about it at most and let it lie after that, it would be only a political point the opposition would try to raise when it suited them....  Then, the rise of the fully-weaponized corruptocrats took control of what the democrat party is now...

...first is the pipeline impacts, which need to be looked at carefully, some cancellations may cost more in the end...

...more importantly - DOGE, on site and at work, this is an area they'll naturally focus on as they delve into outlays...there will be a lot more coming out on this...

...lastly, the next budget priorities will be all Trump priorities and in context with findings/changes driven by DOGE...

We get traction on the legislative front with One Big Beautiful Bill...momentum will be massive...

A federal appeals court delivered a crushing blow Tuesday to a more than $475 billion student debt cancellation program begun by former President Joe Biden, ordering the underlying regulation be blocked in its entirety.

The Eighth US Circuit Court of Appeals had partially blocked the loan forgiveness effort last year — but a three-judge panel at the St. Louis-based court issued a final judgment to a lower court prohibiting any part of the initiative from taking effect.

Ultimate goal is to restrain spending to essential only....what DOGE has been uncovering cannot be said by any serious person to be essential...only then can we begin to pay down debt and back ourselves away form the utter insanity of the past several decades and stave off certain collapse.

A recent Harvard-Harris poll released last week reveals Trump holds strong support from American voters.

The poll also found that Trump has huge support behind him in his major initiatives.

77% of American voters believe in a full examination of government expenditures.
And, 7 in 10 support cutting government spending by a trillion dollars.

 ::ohno::  tariff's!

Yeah, settle down, take a breath...don't be headless chickens like on Wall St who (don't let them lie to you!) love creating chaos because they make money off of it...

Some good news is already rolling in...

Honda nixing Mexico plant and staying in America -

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/04/tariffs-work-honda-shifts-new-production-plan-from-mexico-to-indiana/ (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/04/tariffs-work-honda-shifts-new-production-plan-from-mexico-to-indiana/)

And, this is absolutely huge beyond the $100B investment!

President Donald Trump held a press briefing Monday where he announced a $100 billion investment from Taiwanese Chip company TMSC in the United States.

President Trump on the TMSC investment: “We’ll be at close to 40% of the [chips] market with this transaction and a couple of others that we’re doing.” The investment will be to produce semiconductor chips in Arizona.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/03/president-trump-announces-100-billion-investment-from-tmsc-to-chip-manufacture-in-arizona/ (https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/03/president-trump-announces-100-billion-investment-from-tmsc-to-chip-manufacture-in-arizona/)

This is a yuuuge kick in the little red pills of Xi!  Not only does some TMSC chips get made here and produce US jobs...it brings more critical chip production under US control...it is a big insurance policy should the ChiCom's make a move on Taiwan...and should the worst case scenario happen and Xi moves on Taiwan and it appears he is about to secure TMSC facilities...well, those facilities could now be on our target lists, we can deny them any prize they think they'll steal.

And so far Trump's actions are seeing muted response by China...

Commenting on China's retaliatory tariffs, Lynn Song, chief economist for Greater China at ING Bank, told clients: "The measures are still relatively measured for now. I think this retaliation shows China remains patient and has refrained from 'flipping the table' so to speak despite the recent escalation."

"China's hit-back isn't exactly aggressive — a 15% tariff on US agricultural goods, but nothing broad-based on tech or autos, suggests to me they're leaving room for negotiation," said Billy Leung, an investment strategist at Global X ETF, adding, "That's probably why Chinese stocks are rebounding instead of selling off harder."

Dilin Wu, a research strategist at Pepperstone Group Ltd., said, "The immediate impact of these new tariffs on China remains manageable — the measures are currently concentrated in specific areas."

"Should Beijing roll out additional pro-growth measures — such as large-scale fiscal stimulus or targeted support for high-tech industries and domestic consumption — it could further bolster market confidence," Wu said.

🇺🇸🤭Another major American fund, which also worked in Ukraine, lost its funding.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) says it cannot access congressionally appropriated funds that support "nearly all" of its grants and operations, leaving nearly 2,000 contractors worldwide without funds.

Funny enough, NED, unlike USAID, is a "private" foundation. However, it received 95% of its funding from Congress. Therefore, they believe that they should not have been subject to the State Department's 90-day freeze order.

A senior official at USAID instructed a number of the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.

The materials earmarked for destruction include contents of the agency’s “classified safes and personnel documents” at the Ronald Reagan Building, said an email sent by USAID’s acting executive director, Erica Carr, and obtained by POLITICO.

“Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break,” the email said. Carr instructed staff to label the burn bags with the words “SECRET” and “USAID/B/IO/” (agency shorthand for “bureau or independent office”) in dark Sharpie.

 ::outrage::

If USAID was the charitable wing of the U.S. State Dept., why would the remaining senior leadership be instructing all employees to urgently start destroying all records?   The answer is easy, the charity mission of USAID was a front for the real operational mission of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

More action coming for those de-banking clowns who never de-bank fake nation terrorists, BLM thugs, Antifa scum, etc etc...

Trump is fighting the war on all fronts simultaneously.

Capital One Bank, emboldened by the Nazi media and authoritarian left, "debanked" all Trump supporters located in Washington DC on Insurrection Day (which will one day become a federal holiday celebrating freedom and #Resistance against a corrupt regime). They debanked the Trump Organization and other Trump concerns as well.

On Friday, the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust, DJT Holdings, and other entities under the Trump Organization run by Eric and Donald Trump, Jr. sued Capital One in Dade County, Fla., federal court for "unjustifiably" closing the Trump organization's bank accounts.
The 22-page complaint alleges that on March 8, 2021, Capital One "notified Plaintiffs that hundreds of bank accounts that they controlled, were beneficiaries of, and actively used to transact would be closed on June 7, 2021. Capital One did not provide Plaintiffs any recourse, remedy, or alternative--its decision was final."

Trump world contends that it "suffered considerable financial harm and losses caused not only by the interruption to their access to Capital One's banking services, but also by the devastating impact on Plaintiffs' ability to transact and access their monies."

The Trump Organization alleges that though its entities had been Capital One's customers for decades, the bank, because of its "woke beliefs ... needed to distance itself from President Trump and his conservative political views. In essence, Capital One 'de-banked' Plaintiffs' Accounts because Capital One believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing so." The Trump entities also allege that Capitol One broke consumer laws in North Carolina, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Nebraska.

Eric Trump said the company's treatment of the Trump Organization "was a clear attack on free speech and free enterprise that flies in the face of the bedrock principles and freedoms that define our country. Moreover, the arbitrary closure of these accounts, without justifiable cause, reflects a broader effort to silence and undermine the success of the Trump Organization and those who dare to express their political views."

Capital One insists the allegations are untrue.

Capital One isn't the only one accused of discriminating against customers for their political viewpoints. Bank of America is, too. Even Sen. Liz Fauxchahontas Warren's staff counted 11,955 people who complained that BOA cut them off without warning or explanation.

Bring the reckoning.

Nice, Cotton didn't really do his IC master's any favors when he nixed Fox Kennedy's bid for Deputy Director...he just made it possible for a Honey Badger to scrutinize the funding of all 18 entities comprising the US IC!

A glamorous woman in an unglamorous job, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy sits in a cavernous office that is entirely empty other than the leftover computers and keyboards still scattered about from when the last administration vacated the premises, leaving old copies of federal budgets bound in blue, red, and grey, stretching back decades and stacked nearly from floor to ceiling.

It is not exotic like a dusty cafe in Karachi. It isn’t as chic as an art gallery in Shanghai. All the same, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, or AFK as aides now abbreviate her name, is happy with her new post.

“I like to be in the plumbing,” says the daughter-in-law of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Once the youngest female CIA officer at 22 and whose memoir of a life spent undercover was optioned to Hollywood, she adds, this place “is where you can have the most impact.” She is speaking from the Office of Management and Budget across the alleyway from the White House where, during her first interview since joining the new administration, the ventilation system can be heard kicking on and off.

The onetime spy is now the associate director for Intelligence and International Affairs at OMB, a first-of-its-kind position and an assignment that is as influential as her path to it is ironic.

President Trump had considered Fox Kennedy for CIA deputy director. Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of the powerful Senate Intelligence Committee, intervened. Lawmakers worried that if given that role, AFK might shatter America’s premier espionage agency. Their fears were not entirely unfounded. Since leaving the agency in 2010, she has become a prominent CIA skeptic. She has made the declassification of the JFK assassination files a personal mission. She managed the campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last year as he promised to renew the work of his late uncle, President John F. Kennedy, who once vowed to “splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds.”

Any attempts to assuage concerns failed. Her call, and a subsequent call from the White House to set up a meeting with Cotton, went unanswered. She was torpedoed behind the congressional curtain.

Enter Russ Vought.

Rather than working inside just one three-letter agency to reform it, the director of the Office of Management and Budget asked, why not bring the entire espionage apparatus to the president’s heel? Fox Kennedy accepted. Passed over for a job at CIA, she now oversees the entire CIA budget as well as the budgets for the 17 other agencies that collectively make up the intelligence community.

This makes her the tip of the fiduciary spear, so to speak, in the ongoing White House war against what they see as a “woke and weaponized” government security establishment. The budgets, like the ones collecting dust next to her desk, and other bureaucratic authorities known only to the nerdiest of wonks, Fox Kennedy insists, are the very best tools “to put the Leviathan on the chain.”

All of this delights Vought, who calls her addition to OMB “a huge deal,” a step toward policing the shadowy corners of the federal government he described as “nearly untouchable.” No clandestine budget or compartmentalized program will be beyond her purview. Instead, AFK will be free to follow the money. “The federal government has been weaponized against the American people, including our president, in ways most Americans have yet to realize,” the budget chief told RCP before likening the enterprise to “our own Church Committee within OMB to end the weaponization for good.”

But what would you say you do here exactly? “My job is to arm Tulsi and John,” AFK replies, referring to Tulsi Gabbard, director of National Intelligence, and John Ratcliffe, director of the CIA, like old friends, “and all the amazing men and women in the intelligence community with everything they need to do their job – to do it safely and efficiently, protect this country, and execute the president’s agenda.” She continues with standard boilerplate about ensuring that “not a penny of taxpayer dollars is wasted.”

A wonk would talk about the efficiency of government systems, while a spook would say something about an attempt at omniscience. She talks that way, too, to be sure, but AFK is unusual in that she attempts to humanize budgetary questions of national security. Every taxpayer dollar that comes through the door, says the mother of three, is a dollar that will not go to “a family’s vacation” or “someone’s kid’s ballet lessons.” Misuse of those funds, she has concluded, is nothing short of “a sin.”

While she can sound a little like Marianne Williamson, the gadfly guru and perennial presidential candidate, years spent undercover while living as an art dealer abroad and recruiting arms dealers as assets has given AFK a hard edge. She reserves a special derision for those in intelligence who see themselves as separate from, and unaccountable to, civilian control.

“Even when I was there,” she recalls of past colleagues at the CIA, “they would talk about both Democrats and Republicans, whoever was in the White House, as the temps. ‘Oh, we don’t want to bother the “temps” with that – they’re going to be gone in four years.’” As a result of that attitude, there were entire departments and “parallel command structures,” AFK reported, “that ‘the temps’ have never been allowed in.” Now, as a political appointee and a temp herself, her mandate is to break down those doors.

“You can’t fund anything like the lawfare and weaponization President Trump encountered in his first term without a firehouse of money,” she said, adding that there was initially “a learning curve in the first administration around how to put the Leviathan on the chain and keep it there.” As a result, AFK continued, “the Leviathan made damn good use of that time. It had a head start.”

Not that long ago, liberals lambasted the security state while conservatives rushed to its defense. But those roles have been entirely reversed during the Trump era. From the surveillance of the first Trump campaign and the Steele dossier to the dismissal of the Hunter Biden laptop as “Russian misinformation” and the subsequent social-media censorship, it is a story that has played out for the better part of a decade. “You realize the exact same offensive playbook that we used against people who were killing Americans, and were our greatest adversaries,” she said, “we are using it against the elected representatives of the people in this country, or against any American protected by the Constitution.”

This sentiment makes Fox Kennedy at home in MAGA world and a pariah to Democrats. She comes most recently from the “Make America Healthy Again” wing of the GOP, a coalition where anything big (Big Ag, Big Pharma, and Big Tech, for instance) is viewed with skepticism. She still sticks out. Republican hawks are not known for looking to Sufi mystics for inspiration or talking about the need to root out terrorism by first acknowledging the humanity of the terrorist, as AFK has done. She possesses an undeniably different outlook on the world and a particular set of skills.

The CIA assigned her a “nonofficial cover,” sending her abroad with a false identity but without any diplomatic protections. She learned beforehand, like all agents do, to lose a tail, break out of handcuffs, and in the worst-case scenario, to shoot her way out of a bad situation. That kind of training isn’t likely to come in handy at the White House. A career in analysis and human intelligence will.

She first came to the attention of the CIA while in graduate school after developing a predictive algorithm to pinpoint where terrorist cells were most likely to develop (the ratio between hookah bars and madrassas was key). The career that followed took her from the Middle East to Asia, including a stint in Shanghai where she posed as an art dealer and, per her memoir, discovered that her housekeeper was keeping tabs on her family for Beijing. While AFK has become increasingly critical of the CIA, particularly with the counterterrorism measures deployed after 9/11, she still loves the agency.

“The intelligence community, when the cancer of political weaponization and censorship and domestic propaganda is removed, I’d fund it all day long,” AFK insists, calling it “the most cost-effective, efficient, humane way to avoid war – 10 times out of 10.” The former agent says she just wants reform, specifically a return to an apolitical mission, which AFK insists yields better results anyway.

She argues that human intelligence capabilities have been diminished in recent years as the intel agencies pursue priorities contrary to their core mission. “The majority of useful information that comes out of the intelligence community, for policymakers,” she said, came from other sources and methods. Recipients of the presidential daily brief, or PDB, a summary of intelligence and analysis presented in the Oval Office each morning, AFK reported being told is “basically” the same kind of information that can be read “in the Wall Street Journal, the Economist, and the New York Times.”

A senior administration official, granted anonymity to speak candidly, did not dispute that characterization, telling RCP that both Democrats and Republicans have complained that in recent years the PDB intel has grown “stale.”

Reform isn’t welcome in the intelligence community, especially when those three-letter agencies are predisposed to doubt the intentions of the reformer. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said as much when he seemed to warn Trump before his first inauguration not to pick a fight with spooks. “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community,” the Democratic leader told Rachel Maddow of MSNBC in 2017, “they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”

One question is whether the Trump administration’s approach to the IC, generally, and AFK’s appointment, specifically, indicate a willingness to exact payback.

“I think her intentions, at least from my point of view, are probably not all that wonderful,” said Loch Johnson, a professor at the University of Georgia whom the New York Times once dubbed “the dean of American Intelligence Scholars.” He sees an administration motivated not by good government, but by an appetite for “revenge more than anything else.”

Legally and constitutionally speaking, Johnson told RCP, there is no doubt AFK “has a right to go out to the CIA and look at their budgets up and down.” Comparisons to the Church Committee, though, the Senate select committee that famously called the intelligence agencies to the carpet in the 1970s, may be premature.

“The Church Committee was bipartisan, fact-driven and with strict adherence to the law,” said Johnson, who served as the top aide to the late chairman of the committee, Idaho Sen. Frank Church. “So no, I don’t think this is like it.” What Johnson thinks is all but certain is a clash.

“You’re going to have Fox and others making public charges against these agencies, and that’s when they better have their facts right because the CIA and FBI – I don’t think this is inappropriate – have their own professional contacts on Capitol Hill,” Johnson concluded. “They will seek recourse.” 

The White House has already started its long march through the federal bureaucracy. Elon Musk shuttered USAID. Ratcliffe thinned the CIA herd of recently hired officers, though AFK predicts that only a “very small portion” of federal employees in the intel agencies, those who “allowed their trade craft to be turned inward against Americans,” will end up “on the chopping block.”

When Trump clashed with Volodymyr Zelensky, warning the Ukrainian president he was gambling with another world war by demanding a U.S. security guarantee, AFK was on her feet across the street from the White House in the Eisenhower Office Building, cheering. “He was like Aslan,” she said, referring to the lion and protagonist of C.S. Lewis’ Narnia books.

Even in an administration defined by skepticism of foreign intervention, AFK stands out. She has been vociferous in her condemnation of what she sees as a proxy war with Russia. The sentiment most in fashion during the previous administration, that the U.S. stood with Ukraine, she wrote on social media last year, was “simply a jingle.” While that country burned, she argued, “the war hawks and the bankers” prospered.

If and when that conflict ends, conservatives will clamor for an audit of the billions in financial and military aid sent overseas. David Sachs, Trump’s crypto czar, expressed such an appetite recently, telling Fox News that Ukrainian oligarchs had been “feasting” on that assistance and alleged that American weapons meant for the frontlines had been resold on the black market. A fledgling democracy, Ukraine struggled with endemic corruption even before the war, and while allegations of widespread black-market sales are yet to be substantiated, the Zelensky administration uncovered massive fraud to the tune of $40 million in weapons procurement. AFK was not surprised.

“It’s like shipping a pallet of money,” she said of weapons sent overseas, “and walking away from it and then coming back two years later being like, but do you have proof that it’s not there?”

The administration will soon resume weapons shipments to and intelligence sharing with Ukraine after Zelensky agreed to a 30-day ceasefire with Russia on Tuesday. Anything approaching an audit will likely have to wait. AFK, meanwhile, focuses her attention stateside.

Hollywood had considered adapting her life into a screenplay. Apple was reportedly developing a TV series based on her memoir. Brie Larson was set for the starring role, with  Fox Kennedy as an executive producer. The project has stalled since AFK entered politics, and her newest chapter, overseeing a sprawling intelligence apparatus from a quiet corner of the Office of Management and Budget, is not exactly glamorous. No one can argue that it isn’t influential.

Canada FA...now, they're going to FO...

https://youtu.be/5aZ5Me-pZxQ

Ms. Hillman says Canadians will never give up their sovereignty. Let me repeat the non-pretending reality.  If Canada loses all of the one-way benefits it receives from its relationship with the United States, the Canadian system of government and economics collapses.

Closed and non-competitive banking and finance sectors; a small military budget that does not even reach NATO expectations; an assembly or ‘pass through’ economy that doesn’t have heavy industry but instead assembles goods from foreign nations for transport into the United States; one-way excessive tariffs on American products.  If these are ended, the lifestyle of the Canadian people immediately changes.  Hence Trudeau saying, Canada cannot exist.

At the current rate of economic conflict, the Canadian dollar will lose 50% of its value by mid-summer 2025.  This is the unavoidable reality Ms Hillman and the Canadian left-wing government will not openly discuss.

The only way for Canada to be a sovereign nation unattached to the United States, is if they drop all of their climate-change initiatives, drop their liberal economic rules and regulations, begin a system of heavy industry production again and get back to using cheap energy production as the fuel to drive it.

Canada would then need to discontinue most social welfare programs and instead divert that money to their military budget.

The leftist economic policies are why the Canadian banking system has to be closed, and all competition removed from the internal banking and finance equation.   If reciprocity is demanded and enforced, Canada collapses; it’s that simple.

And, POS Judge Boasberg exposed for not recusing himself from even touching the despicable no-standing ACLU frivolous suit!

Now, independent journalist Laura Loomer discovered a massive conflict of interest between Boasberg and his own daughter. It turns out Katherine Boasberg, the daughter, works for a far-left organization called Partners for Justice that opposes “mass incarceration” of violent criminals and strongly opposes deporting illegals, including violent felons.

Unsurprisingly, Katherine Boasberg is so woke she has pronouns in her bio.

From Loomer:

I have exclusively uncovered a massive CONFLICT OF INTEREST involving Judge James Boasberg, the Chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Boasberg recently made the decision to prevent the deportation of criminal illegal alien gang members on planes out of the country.

The Judge has a daughter named Katherine Boasberg, who works for a 501(c)(3) organization called Partners for Justice as a “capacity-building associate.” In her position, she helps coordinate and administer grant activities, ensure compliance, and support the delivery of capacity-building programs to strengthen nonprofit infrastructure.

Katherine Boasberg also has pronouns in her bio. She goes by SHE/HER, proving her affiliation with the Left.

Partners for Justice strongly opposes mass deportations and legislation targeting members of criminal gangs, and has been a vocal critic of the Laken Riley Act.

The news gets even worse. Loomer also uncovered a screenshot showing that Katherine’s employer, Emily Galvin-Almanza, tweeted an article about Judge Boasberg blocking Trump’s deportations of Venezuelan gang members.

LOOK:

(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/immigration-tweet.jpg)

On top of this, Partners for Justice receives 76% of its funding from U.S. grants. This means taxpayers are funding this conflict of interest and pro-criminal activity.

Because of this, Loomer says that Boasberg has no choice but to recuse himself, saying his family is a national security threat.

“Given his daughter’s employment at a group that advocates for criminal illegal Aliens & is funded by US Government grants, Judge Boasberg should not be granted any sensitive information about deportation flights. His family is a national security threat,” she writes.

Now, Loomer reports that Katherine Boasberg has deleted her Instagram and LinkedIn accounts.

Oh, and what does the Dread Traitor Roberts say about all this you might wonder?

Chief Justice Roberts said Trump call for impeaching judges is “not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.”

“For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose,” Roberts said in a rare statement.

Congress can and needs to act...

I like this approach recommended by Hokkada:

…”It’s important to remind people that the inferior courts do not work for or report to the Supreme Court. CONGRESS creates the inferior courts and as such, Congress can eliminate courts, add courts, and control funding of the courts. Congress also can impeach. And a key element of impeachment is the hearings process.

A hearings process that subpoenas Federal district court judges to testify before Congress would cast a lot of sunlight on the corrupt Judicial-Lawfare-Complex. Could the end result be impeachment? Certainly.

But it could also lead to something better in the long run: descope of the Federal court system which has grown bloated, corrupt, and arrogant because it answers to nobody.

They’re the 3rd branch of government for a reason – they are not elected by anyone, and therefore hold the least amount of power when it comes to governance. SCOTUS doesn’t even control their own budget. They can’t levy taxes. They can’t declare war. They can’t decide what constitutes citizenship.

The answer to all of this is sunlight. Simply compel Biasberg to testify in open public hearings about his role in Lawfare and his interpretation of the Federal district court’s ability to direct the actions of the Commander in Chief, issue “nationwide injunctions” and so forth. Then let’s get into his direct role in Lawfare.

Roberts wants to pretend impeachment of Biasberg is about a “political disagreement”. But it is not. This is a judicial coup d’etat we are witnessing. And the only way to stop it is to descope the judiciary and limit its ability to issue injunctions.

If crimes are discovered, such as aiding and abetting terrorist organizations, the judges should be removed. Judges can “obstruct justice” too. They are not Jesus in black robes. They are every bit as tempted by corruption – perhaps more so because they are deemed infallible by the Chief Justice – as any politician.”…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/03/19/more-background-on-judge-james-boasberg-the-fight-continues/

Fine, Roberts wants to cover all Judges because he incorrectly thinks covering all, even the bad ones, covers everybody.  He needs to be shown he is dead wrong.  Let the hearings commence and the evidence flow.  Let corrupt filth like Boasberg et al plead the 5th before We the People, let's see how Roberts likes that!  And, Congress can also shut down the FISC...maybe even rearrange the entire lower court structure!  Roberts will learn that his willful laziness and stupidly has consequences...and only by Congress acting can the worst consequence (the end of the Republic) be avoided.

Dread Traitor Roberts cannot see it...   ::outrage::

While impeachment is the rightful remedy for out-of-control judges, the reality of the Senate’s two-thirds vote requirement (67 out of 100 senators) makes removing these radicals difficult. Even if every Republican senator voted in favor of conviction, 14 Democrats would need to defect—an unlikely scenario.

This is why Rep. Chip Roy is calling for the nuclear option—defunding radical courts.

“Lots of noise about impeachment. We must study every ruling & act accordingly w/ everything on the table (noting: 14 Dem votes required in Senate.),” Roy posted on X.

“But, more fertile ground… 1) House can pass a resolution stating there is/was an invasion, 2) we can defund radical courts.”

Yup, it is a reflection of the so-called "Two Schools" of Constitutional Law...Constructionists who view it as authoritative as written and the spirit in which it was created by Our Founders...and the lunatics who view the Constitution as a outdated effort ripe for reinterpretation to favor their ideological deviancy...

IMO there is only one Constitutional school, all others not based in Founding Principles is un-American and should be purged!!!

Look at the leftarded reporterette (I forget who and specifically who was being asked, one of the Honey Badges maybe) who led off with "why are you using a law over 200 years old?" (alien act)...and the Honey Badger had to remind the twit the Constitution is even older (turns 249 this July)!  Leftarded reportette obviously poisoned by the deviants!

When you think of how absolutely ridiculous the position on the left is, this appears to be an excellent chance to change everything. They have aligned themselves with the most violent criminal aliens, with drag queen story hour, with men in women’s sports, with wasteful and fraudulent spending, with sending billions to nations antagonistic to the United States and its people. They are now in favor of judicial supremacy when they so recently decried the invalidity of the Supreme Court. They are at their lowest historical approval because of it. This is why these battles need to be engaged here and now, regardless of whether or not Trump endorses it, it must be a battle cry for the citizens and force action.

Title: Re: POTUS 47 - Second Trump Term Thread
Post by: Libertas on March 20, 2025, 12:57:46 PM
One of the seven small federal agencies that President Donald Trump ordered downsized or eliminated on Friday was rife with corruption, with its employees hiring friends and relatives, commissioning paintings of themselves, and using government credit cards to indulge in constant luxuries.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) occupied a nine-story office tower on D.C.’s K Street for only 60 employees, many of whom actually worked from home, prior to the pandemic. Its managers had luxury suites with full bathrooms; one manager would often be “in the shower” when she was needed, while another used her bathroom as a cigarette lounge. FMCS recorded its director as being on a years-long business trip to D.C. so he could have all of his meals and living expenses covered by taxpayers, simply for showing up to the office.

FMCS is a 230-employee agency that exists to serve as a voluntary mediator between unions and businesses. As an “independent agency,” its director nominally reports to the president, but the agency is so small that in effect, there is no oversight at all — and it showed, becoming a real-life caricature of all the excesses that the Department of Government Efficiency has alleged take place in government.

This reporter spent a year investigating the agency a decade ago, and I found egregious and self-serving violations of hiring, pay, contracting, and purchase card rules. One thing I could not discover is why the agency actually existed, other than to provide luxurious lifestyles for its employees. Endless junkets to resort destinations, which employees openly used to facilitate personal vacations, were justified as building awareness of the agency in the hopes that someone would actually want to use its voluntary services.

FMCS seemed, quite clearly, to exist for the benefit of those on its payroll, and not much else. One employee told me: “Let me give you the honest truth: A lot of FMCS employees don’t do a hell of a lot, including myself. Personally, the reason that I’ve stayed is that I just don’t feel like working that hard, plus the location on K Street is great, plus we all have these oversized offices with windows, plus management doesn’t seem to care if we stay out at lunch a long time. Can you blame me?”

“Recreation and reception fund.”
Top FMCS official George Cohen used a “recreation and reception fund” to order champagne and $200 coasters for his office, and to purchase artwork painted by his wife. The tiny agency commissioned paintings of its top employees — as one employee told me, “like they were reigning kings or something…I’ve never seen anything like it before.” It spent $2,402 retouching the portrait of someone who briefly held the top job in an acting capacity.

FMCS employees “unblocked” their government credit cards to turn off typical abuse protections, then used them to apparently fund personal expenses and simply bill anything they’d like to the government. One employee leased a BMW; another (IT director James Donnen) billed the government for his wife’s cell phone, cable TV at both his home and his vacation home, and even his subscription to USA Today.

Employee Dan W. Funkhouser used his FMCS card to rent a storage unit near his home in rural Virginia, two hours from the office he supposedly worked at, which was used to store personal possessions such as a photo album of his dog, Buster. Funkhouser also spent $18,000 at a jewelry store near his house, and “destroyed all purchase card records upon leaving the agency,” an audit said.

When Charles Burton retired from FMCS, he incorporated an LLC to which another FMCS employee paid $85,000 using his purchase card, listing it as a “Call Center Service,” even though the company had neither a website nor a working phone.

When an accountant, Carol Booth, blew the whistle on financial abuses to the General Services Administration, which manages purchase cards and contracting, Cohen forced her to send an email (which he wrote under her name) rescinding her statement.

Like something out of “The Office,” the employees spent an inordinate amount of time and money congratulating one another for being employed there and engaging in “work” that really amounted to pampering themselves.

One purchase was for $30,000 on trinkets marking employees’ anniversaries. The agency’s office was absurdly oversized, but it refused to move. It hired a consultant for a “Hallway Improvement Project” to decorate. It had an in-house gym for employees, and purchased a $1,000 TV for the gym, a $3,867 ice-maker, and a $560 stereo.

The expenses that were actually business-related were hardly better. It paid, for example, $895 “for Suzanne Nichter’s enrollment in the English Essentials: A Grammar Refresher course” and $735 “for Lakisha Steward to attend Listening and Memory Skills Development Course.”

All expenses paid lifestyle
FMCS used federal jobs as a spigot of cash for friends and relatives. Allison Beck, a former union lawyer who became a top FMCS official, employed her sister-in-law as a “special assistant,” and an inspector general found evidence that she tried to create a high-level job for a friend.

FMCS employees allegedly steered contracts to friends, allowing them to write the “statement of work” that would be used to choose the contract winner — resulting in, of course, their own selection. Such “trainers” were paid $1,500 per day per person to train FMCS’s staff, plus $163 an hour for travel. When a low-level employee eventually said the extra travel pay ran afoul of federal rules, a contractor made clear he viewed it as an entitlement, huffing: “Work we have successfully performed for the agency for more than a decade — at great personal sacrifice, I should add — will be taken away unless we comply in an unquestioning manner with your edict.”

Scot Beckenbaugh, a top agency official, was paid $174,000 a year, but that wasn’t enough: He had his “duty station” listed as Iowa so that he could have all of his living expenses and food paid for in D.C., where he lived and worked, as if he was on a six-year-long business trip. When an employee raised the issue to an agency lawyer, the lawyer told him he “should not raise these issues … it would open a can of worms.”

FMCS hired a former mail carrier who lived in Pennsylvania, Lu-Ann Glaser, for a high-level, D.C.-based job, and agreed to pay for her to stay in a hotel for half of every month — even though it would have been easy to find someone better qualified who didn’t need to be put up in a hotel to simply do her job.

Paul Voight, a human resources official, was listed as living in D.C. even though he actually lived in Wisconsin, in order to fraudulently obtain higher cost-of-living pay. Voight’s boss was Artur Pearlstein, who left the agency to become a law professor, and was then re-hired after his academic career imploded in a plagiarism scandal. His first move in his new job was terminating an independent investigation into FMCS staff abusing taxpayer funds for personal gain.

Cohen, for his part, steered work to his previous employer, despite signing ethics forms saying he would not.

Constant junkets
Many of the agency’s top employees lived outside of the typical Washington, D.C., commuting area, and only stopped in the area occasionally, in an era before telework was routine. Its CFO, Fran Leonard, would come to the office twice a week but leave by 2:00 p.m.

The agency had, inexplicably, an office in Honolulu.

It funded constant travel of its employees to exotic locales, on the pretext that it was drumming up business for the federal agency — an admission that there was little demand for the agency’s existence.

In one month, Beck traveled to Italy and Switzerland, where she conducted a business meeting — over video chat. Then she went to Tunisia and an island off the coast of Georgia. She flew first class and forced the agency to reimburse her for mileage when she drove to her vacation home in Maine.

The agency had three full-time media relations staffers, none of whom would speak to me, almost certainly one of the only reporters to ever call.

Cash grants for insiders
The agency’s existence is predicated on the idea that it is an impartial mediator, biased neither towards labor nor management. But its staff largely comes from a union background, and it gave out grants to promote union membership. But it was too incompetent to do much ideological damage; its employees’ comfort always came before helping unions.

Anyone could request cash grants from the agency, with the only requirement that they mention some nexus with unions, however tortured. It doled out a seemingly random assortment of giveaways to private businesses, perhaps because they were the only ones who knew the grants existed.

It gave $63,000 to a hospital that went bankrupt; $51,000 to a childcare company to help it pay government licensing fees; and $57,000 to a company to “strengthen of culture of continuous improvement to drive us to world class excellence!”

What surprised me most about my FMCS investigation was what happened afterward: nothing. An inspector general made a referral to the FBI, but there were no prosecutions. Instead, President Barack Obama nominated a chief subject of the investigation to the top job.

A decade later, Trump has done what even the agency’s own employees said should happen: shut it down.

Fight Fire With Napalm, Following By Nuking From Orbit
 8 US Code 1324:

 (A)Any person who—

(i)knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;
(ii)knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;
(iii)knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(iv)encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)
(I)engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II)aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
(B)A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(ii)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
(iii)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) during and in relation to which the person causes serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of title 18) to, or places in jeopardy the life of, any person, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and
(iv)in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) resulting in the death of any person, be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, fined under title 18, or both.


By my reading of the above stature, federal judge Boasberg, in attempting to hinder the deportation of violent criminal aliens, and continue to harbor them in the United States, has committed about 50 serious federal felonies.

As there is no "king's X" provision allowing federal judges to commit serial felonies in the course and scope of their employment, President Trump should direct the Attorney General to send federal marshals to arrest Judge Boasberg. and refer him to the appropriate US Attorney for prosecution under this section of federal code.,and under as many counts as pertain directly to his rulings.

That should keep Judge sh*tforbrains too busy to issue any more jackassical rulings or injunctions, and expedite his impeachment for cause and removal from the federal bench, on his way to federal Supermax.

Start charging federal judges for the crimes they're committing, and this bogus lawfare being directed at Trump will disappear like ice cubes in a sauna. For that matter, tasing a couple and dragging them out of federal court by the hair should curb their enthusiasm for recent shananigans in about 0.2 seconds.

And be delightful to watch.

It's high time the rogue members of the federal judiciary learned about the limits of their power. With a smartly-applied choke chain, and a cattle prod for encouragement.

The USAID-GEC-FCDO censorship/disinfo cabal, what I would call The Leftist's Monster Zero" exposed by AFL litigation -

On Thursday, America First Legal (AFL) released explosive new documents obtained through ongoing litigation against the U.S. Department of State’s Global Engagement Center (GEC), exposing a vast, government-backed censorship operation to silence Americans under the guise of “misinformation,” “disinformation,” and “malinformation.” The documents reveal a disturbing alliance between the GEC, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the British Foreign, Commonwealth, Development Office (FCDO), and media censorship organizations, all working in lock-step to manipulate public discourse, control media narratives, and suppress free speech.

The GEC, which was forced to shut down in December 2024, was designed to “combat foreign disinformation abroad.” However, through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, AFL uncovered that the GEC engaged in state-sponsored propaganda, repeatedly using willing participants from private media organizations. Further, AFL’s lawsuit against the GEC revealed that USAID had created an internal “Disinformation Primer” that explicitly praised private sector censorship strategies and recommended further censorship tactics.

The new documents released by AFL show:

The GEC and USAID coordinated efforts to censor “COVID-19 misinformation” and counter “COVID-19 propaganda.”
The GEC collaborated with officials in the British Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office on disinformation efforts.
The GEC coordinated with private media censorship firms, including Poynter and NewsGuard, which provided samples of its Misinformation Fingerprints artificial intelligence (AI) tool, designed to identify and rate websites based on their perceived “misinformation.”
I. The GEC and USAID coordinated to counter “COVID-19 Propaganda and Disinformation”

In a widely distributed email to USAID, the GEC’s “Liaison Planner to USAID” stated that GEC would like to “sustain dialogue and connectivity during these unprecedented times” to help counter “misinformation” surrounding COVID-19 despite USAID’s self-described mission being “to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.”

Guess Which DC Judge Was Just Assigned to SignalGate Lawsuit

I doubt anyone in their correct and intellectually honest mind would believe this DC drawing assigning Judge James Boasberg to the recently filed lawsuit against the Trump national security cabinet members on the signal chat, was random.

There are 20 judges in the DC pool eligible to hear the case [CASE DETAILS HERE] and with a 1:20 chance, Judge James Boasberg was assigned.

What is going on here is that there is a coordinated judicial branch attacks upon the Executive branch attempting to usurp Executive power unto themselves...it is nothing less than a full-scale insurrection against a sitting President...

These runaway judges are intentionally provoking a Constitutional crises, and the President can no longer function as Constitutionally allowed if he capitulates to this insurrection...his hands are bound by his Oath of Office, his allegiance is to the Constitution, not to a bunch of rogue judges usurping Executive powers to themselves!  He must not legitimize their usurpation.  They are ignoring his Constitutional authority...he should ignore their usurpations!

Update on NSC firings -

The director of the powerful wiretapping and cyber espionage service, the National Security Agency, was fired Thursday, according to two current and one former U.S. officials.

Gen. Timothy Haugh, who also heads U.S. Cyber Command, was let go along with his civilian deputy at the NSA, Wendy Noble, according to the officials.

Noble was reassigned to a job within the Pentagon’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence. The NSA is part of the department.


Haugh, who assumed his dual position just over a year ago, was traveling on Thursday and could not be reached for comment. Sean Parnell, a spokesman for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, did not respond to a request for comment.

The current and former officials said they did not know the reason for Haugh’s dismissal or Noble’s reassignment. (more)

Director Haugh recently met with Elon Musk and DOGE Team.

Idiot Snowmexican PM shoots blanks!

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney spins a tale of Automaker Stellantis temporarily shutting down auto plants in Canada and Mexico as an outcome of President Trump’s tariffs.  Unfortunately, the gaslighting by Carney might work on less intellectual SnowMexicans, but it fails here.

Stellantis, an EU centered auto company who sell Dodge, Ram (made in Mexico) and Dodge, Durango (made in Canada), have been in a deepening crisis for over a year as a result of poor brand management, poor development and weak North American sales.  In short, their cars and trucks are not selling, that’s why the CEO quit in December, and they fired and replaced the North American leadership team.  It has nothing to do with Trump’s auto tariffs against Mexico and Canada.

That said, Mark Carney used the Stellantis plant closing (Windsor) as cover to announce that Canada would match the auto-tariffs with a 25% countervailing duty against all U.S. made cars and trucks.

This approach only raises the ceiling for the U.S. tariffs against Canada.  Quite frankly, I’m not sure why President Trump would continue to play this game with Carney and should (for the sake of simplicity) just cancel all trade with Canada and begin an immediate embargo and border blockade.

Tell the Carney clown to stay at home, shut it all down and let the Canadians live as a sovereign nation under the rule and regulation of the EU while they continue to destroy their energy resources and import foreign workers.
  It’s silly to keep entertaining Canada as if they really matter.

If it wasn’t for the national security threat they could represent on our border, Canada would likely get little policy attention from any administration.   The Trudeau/Carney’s of the world are just annoying now.  Sorry Canada, but this Carney guy is even worse than the last Prime Minister.   They won’t even say “USMCA” because it’s Trump or something.  So, Carney says “CUSMA” 😂🤣😂 Childish, silly and so typically leftist. Too funny!

I agree with Sundance, the Snowmexicans have zero leverage and much much more to lose...  And an embargo and border blockade would end all fentanyl coming in from the North...let them sit on all that Chi-Com sourced ingredients!

Doesn't matter...  The Wall St crowd, being the hardcore globalists we've all come to loath and despise...will find excuses to turn any smile into a frown...  In a way their overreaction is kinda hilarious...their benefactors, the 1%, made out like bandits during the Biden Family Crime spree, just look at the returns of Pelosi et al!  Now, their hammering down the market...one would think their benefactors would be pissed but there is no screaming, because they probably got the timing tip-off well before the fact...their punishment as always is on the average people...

Well, when all this settles and Trump wins and America has more fair trade terms with the world...the treacherous will benefit too, but the rest of us too, and not just from new trade deals but an overall healthier economy, globalism on the shelf, tax relief for the workers...the Trump Magic Wand will reap so many benefits into the future...

And if Congress can get off its ass maybe the budgets can be balanced and the national debt worked down!

Meanwhile, the limp-dick panda plans to increase tariffs, ban imports, suspend non-existent fentanyl cooperation, investigate non-existent American intellectual property theft of stupid Chinese BS and fire up their presses to BS their masses into a bogus sense of security...

Even Trump has come out to say there is nice buying opportunities now.

And with 70+ nations knocking for negotiations...the idiotic Chinese continue to bark at the moon...

Full dragon, no panda mask.  Beijing begins using war terminology to discuss the trade conflict with the United States.

Through a series of cumulative trade tariffs, President Trump has now placed Chinese imports into the USA in a position of 104% tariffs.

104%!

In response Beijing has devalued their currency and dumped treasuries, but no amount of subsidy, devaluation or use of their sovereign wealth fund is going to compensate for 104% taxes on Chinese products.  Very soon all purchase orders from the USA for Chinese manufactured products will stop.

The Beijing dragon is looking at the future through a zero-sum position.  Now, they vow to fight to the death.

After Beijing’s overnight inaction in response to President Trump’s new 104% effective-rate tariff on Chinese goods—and the release of a white paper on trade between the two superpowers—there now appears to be a response from the Chinese side.

TRUMP STANDS ALONE — Rejects UK Trade Deal Over Free Speech Violations

President Trump reportedly refused to move forward with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s tariff agreement due to the UK’s growing crackdown on free speech. Across Europe, free expression is under siege: In France, citizens face €12,500 fines for critiquing Islam. In the UK, parents were arrested over WhatsApp messages criticizing a school, and a woman was detained for silently praying near an abortion clinic. Germany prosecutes users for sharing posts critical of politicians. With around 30 social media-related arrests happening weekly in the UK, Trump made it clear—no deal without a firm defense of free speech.

See no confirmation of that, but if true...fine.

Delta passes on paying Airbus tariff...most airlines eye delaying orders...

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/delta-cuts-outlook-refuses-pay-tariff-airbus-jets (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/delta-cuts-outlook-refuses-pay-tariff-airbus-jets)

Part of the process, should delay orders.

This is as much about breaking the elitist cabal of globalists as it is about trade fairness.

U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent laid out President Trump’s financial policy priorities for the American Bankers Association (ABA) on Wednesday, saying that Main Street America will now take priority.

Bessent speaking at the ABA’s Washington Summit, said, “For too long, financial policy has served large financial institutions at the expense of smaller ones— no more.”

The Treasury Secretary stated that, “It’s Main Street’s turn to hire workers, it’s Main Street’s turn to drive investment and it’s Main Street’s turn to restore the American dream.”

Bessent announced the Trump administration’s shift to focusing on helping Main Street businesses and consumers thrive by giving all institutions a chance to succeed, adding, “For the last four decades, basically since I began my career in Wall Street, Wall Street has grown wealthier than ever before, and it can continue to grow and do well.”

Addressing fears of a looming recession, Bessent defended Trump’s agenda of tax cuts, deregulation and trade rebalancing and noting that,

“We want to de-leverage the government sector, re-leverage the private sector …. we can’t do it all at once, or that will cause a recession.”

Bessent added,

“What will keep us from having a recession is making sure that the tax bill doesn’t expire, adding back 100% depreciation and then adding some of President Trump’s agenda — no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime.”

In an interview on CNBC, Bessent reiterated the president’s goal of bringing jobs and manufacturing back to the U.S. as well as raising wages, increasing revenues and reviving the American dream.
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/its-main-streets-turn-restore-american-dream-us-treasury-secretary-warns-wall (https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/its-main-streets-turn-restore-american-dream-us-treasury-secretary-warns-wall)

The wealth gains of the elites had no greater friend than big government policies...it is practically a 1:1 game of government grift benefitting the 1% at the expense of the bulk of the remaining 99%.

Real growth, real income and a better standard of living for the 99% is driven by private sector growth NOT the public sector and grotesque government deficit spending that feeds the grift!

His comment on the Snow Mexicans made me snort!   ;D

But as mentioned in the above...all of this, all of the Trump agenda, trade, taxes, elimination of waste fraud and abuse, secure border must be achieved, and gains have been made but all must be pushed over the finish line to lock in real growth and prosperity and rebalance the American dream from the elite to the people.
