Drain The Swamp For The Economic Benefits
Posted By: 4250Luis, 12/5/2024 5:21:35 AM
There’s not much Donald Trump could ever do as president that will generate more resistance and hatred than bleeding the fetid capital swamp. It’s arguable that there’s nothing he could ever do as president that would be better for the republic. Trump’s decision to make administration appointments from figures who are outside of the establishment adds to the loathing that so many in the political-media establishment already directed toward him. Various grifters, vipers and unprincipled schemers from both parties have spent their adult lives seeking seats of power, comfort and endless tenure in the capital.

Is it that hard to deliver small trailers for survivors of a monstrous hurricane?
Well, to FEMA, Joe Biden's emergency management agency it is.
Here are the sorry leavings:
Investigative reporter James O'Keefe said there was remarkably little done in hurricane-ravaged North Carolina, this, even after bad publicity hit the agency for its inadequate response. Since then, there has been clear evidence of political favoritism, first in Florida, and later in North Carolina. But results? They aren't about results:

Jurors deadlocked in Daniel Penny manslaughter

trial over subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely 10 replies
Jurors at Daniel Penny’s trial in the caught-on-camera subway chokehold death of Jordan Neely said Friday they’re struggling to reach a verdict on the top charge of manslaughter. Penny’s lawyers have said the Marine veteran and aspiring architect was justified in protecting passengers from a man who witnesses said yelled, “Someone’s going to die today!” and said he was ready to go to jail after boarding the uptown F train. But Manhattan prosecutors have stressed that no witness testified that Neely threatened anyone specifically, touched anyone, or brandished a weapon. Police later found only a muffin in his pocket.
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Democrat Kamala Harris tried to run away from her beliefs and policies as fast as she could.
Open borders, abolishing fracking, health care for illegals, higher taxes, and forcing people to buy electric cars are not popular policies, so she had to lie.
We are constantly told that James Carville is a very smart Democrat strategist. I have not seen evidence of this intelligence.
Throughout the 2024 campaign, Carville watched Kamala and continually said she was going to win. He did not lecture the campaign about how stupid they were.
President-elect Trump picked Anthony Salisbury to be the deputy Homeland Security Advisor on the White House Homeland Security Council.
“Tony will bring his vast Law Enforcement, counter-narcotics, and counter-cartel experience to the White House where he will serve under Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor,” Trump said in a Thursday night Truth Social post.
Salisbury is currently a Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Miami.
“Tony manages all of HSI’s complex Federal Law Enforcement investigative programs related to National Security and smuggling violations, including counter-proliferation, financial crimes, commercial fraud, human trafficking, human smuggling, narcotics smuggling, transnational gangs,
President-elect Trump plans to nominate ex-president of the border patrol union, Brandon Judd, as his ambassador to Chile.
“I have personally known and worked with Brandon over the past nine years. Brandon helped me develop and implement the most effective Border Security policies in our Nation’s History,” Trump said Thursday night on Truth Social. “I have also watched as Brandon tirelessly and honorably represented the Border Patrol Agents who elected him as their voice in all matters, especially in their efforts to secure our Great Country’s Borders, and keep all Americans safe.”
President-elect Trump is holding court with foreign leaders as they seek to gain influence and insight into his mindset before he takes office, with the expectation that the Trump administration will bring major shifts to the global economy and to its approach to alliances.
Trump has met with and spoken to a wide array of global leaders since he won last month’s election. On Saturday, he will be taking a trip abroad to attend the reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, a visit that is seen as a way for French President Emmanuel Macron to bolster his standing with the president-elect.
It’s always been a perennial lie of the political left to falsely claim they’re all about fresh ideas, bringing in “new” winds of change, and that communism has never really been tried before. Anyone with a passing familiarity with history knows that’s a colossal pile of B.S., but if they can bluff their way along, they can hawk their societal slavery once again. The strains of collectivist control of the economy were in the cards in the last election, and if they had won, they would be crowing about how we’re all commies now.
The United States Capitol Police officer who shot and killed Ashli Babbitt during the events at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021, reportedly received preferential treatment from the law enforcement agency after Democrat lawmakers applied pressure. Internal emails reveal that House Democrats leaned on U.S. Capitol Police to provide extraordinary financial and professional support to Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who fatally shot unarmed protester Ashli Babbitt, according to Just the News.
…. And just like that, another piece of the puzzle falls neatly into place. President Trump has announced that David Sacks will be joining the administration as the Czar of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency. The group of Peter Thiel (Palantir), Elon Musk (X), Vivek Ramaswamy (DOGE) and JD Vance (VP), now gain the addition of David Sacks to their core mission. Both govt inspired/networked AI and the world of Cryptocurrency will benefit.
Many voices say the introduction of AI into government networks was/is a foregone conclusion, so we should be happy that it’s the ideology of Musk, Thiel, Sacks, Ramaswamy and Vance constructing the parameters of the weapon.
First things first, Tucker Carlson deserves enormous credit for gaining reentry into Russia during a time when Russia has essentially locked down their entry visa process. This was not a simple task, and Tucker’s motives for doing so are accepted without immediate reservation. As the only other American I know who has navigated this dynamic, congratulations Tucker.
There have been no diplomatic channels used by the U.S. government toward Russia for over two years. Literally, all talks between government officials and emissaries have been severed for the past two years. As I have said before, this is a very dangerous dynamic.
A mystery is unfolding in the skies over central New Jersey, and even the FBI is stumped about what's going on.
Reports have emerged of "mysterious nighttime drone flights" appearing in the nighttime skies of central New Jersey, and some residents have taken to social media with videos of strange occurrences. Per one report, the drones -- or drone-like aircraft, no one is really sure what they are at this point -- have been sighted since as far back as November 18. Morris County resident Julie Shavalier witnessed the odd occurrence and told NBC News what she saw:

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen. Mark Milley a pre-emptive pardon over fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration will go after the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The potential pardon for Milley, who was the nation’s highest-ranking military officer for part of Trump’s first term, was reported by the Washington Post Thursday.
Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Report to Work Regularly, a Blatant Disregard

A sobering report by the Public Building Reforms Board paints a grim picture of federal employees’ blatant disregard for duty.
The report found that 94% of federal workers do not show up in person regularly, highlighting the poor service delivery and complacency in government offices.
The Department of Energy, the Agency for Global Media, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture topped the list of absentee/ absconders with abysmal occupancy rates of 0%, 2%, and 6%, respectively.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (7%), the Environmental Protection Agency (8%), the Department of Labor (9%), and the Nuclear Regulation Commission (9%) followed closely with their appalling numbers.

Obama is suddenly very concerned about what the party in power can do to rig elections and weaponize the government against perceived political enemies. What curious timing.
While speaking at the ‘Democracy Forum’ the former president talked about the dangers of extremism and polarization. Isn’t it strange how this is all just becoming a concern for him now?
Obama knows his party just got wiped out but he still doesn’t seem to understand why.
The Washington Examiner reports: Obama scorns ‘doom loop’ of political extremism after Democrats’ election defeat
President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse. “The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said.
Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”
On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) questioned the effectiveness of the Department of Government Efficiency and stated that Elon Musk “basically has made his fortune off of government subsidies” and Democrats should “come after the insurance companies, the big defense companies that are all reaping huge amounts of money off of the government. Let’s come after Elon Musk, who’s made his fortune off of taxpayers.”
Murphy said, “I’m just not sure that [DOGE] has anything to do with breaking up the status quo. You’ve put a billionaire, who basically has made his fortune off of government subsidies
After a screaming match between Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe and Texas Rep. Pat Fallon erupted at a Thursday House hearing on the attempted assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump, new details are emerging about the circumstances that sparked the outburst.
Several Secret Service sources question whether Rowe has perjured himself during the explosive exchange.
The face-off occurred during the final meeting of the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Trump when Fallon produced a photo of Rowe standing behind President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at a 9/11 memorial event in New York City in September.

Some Democrats are so mad about Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter that they are threatening to withhold funding for Biden’s presidential library.
According to some reports, Biden and his inner circle have been caught surprised by the backlash to the pardon. They can’t seem to understand why this would make so many people angry.
There will be more fallout from this in the coming months, especially because Biden has angered so many people on his own side. If he ends up issuing more pardons, which is fully expected, anger will only grow.
White House reporters fumed at Karine Jean-Pierre for repeatedly lying about the Hunter Biden pardon during an absolutely brutal press briefing.
Last Sunday Joe Biden issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son, Hunter Biden, absolving him of any federal crimes committed between 2014 and 2024.
Hunter was facing federal tax fraud charges in California and felony gun charges in Delaware.
Joe Biden gave his son a blanket pardon after repeatedly claiming he wouldn’t.
Representative James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that the country was in danger of Jim Crow laws returning because voters did not prioritize democracy.
Host Dana Bash said, “I want to switch gears to something that former President Obama said.[Snip] “Talk of bridging our differences when the country and the world seemed so bitterly divided felt like an academic exercise, it felt farfetched, even naive. Especially since as far as they were concerned, the election proved that democracies pretty far down on people’s priority list.”
Sen. Joni Ernst has not made up her mind about Pete Hegseth’s nomination to be secretary of defense, but despite the suggestion of some of her colleagues, the Iowa Republican told RealClearPolitics during a Thursday interview that she is not pursuing that role for herself.
“I am not seeking to be secretary of defense,” Ernst said after some on the left suggested she would make a better candidate than Hegseth and after critics on the right accused her of trying to sink his nomination for personal gain. A combat veteran herself, she explained that while “I absolutely have interest in the military…”
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that “we’re in the fight of our lives” against the incoming administration.
Raskin said, “We’re in the fight of our lives, Wolf. There is an incoming administration which has vowed to turn the Department of Justice into an instrument of political revenge and retaliation and persecution of individual American citizens. We’ve got an incoming administration which doesn’t seem to care about any constitutional boundaries they’re threatening to impound funds that have been appropriated for particular purposes by Congress and use them for other purposes. That was, of course, something that Donald Trump did
