“YOU’RE FIRED!” President Donald Trump started purging more than 1,000 appointees from former President Joe Biden’s administration overnight – starting with celebrity chef Jose Andres and embattled retired General Mark Milley. The new commander-in-chief fired off the “official notice of dismissal” to four Biden appointees in a midnight social media post, bluntly warning that his team were hunting down even more to throw out of office.

My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand Presidential Appointees from the previous Administration, who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again,”

FTA: "Andres, who has long had beef with Trump, was once meant to open a restaurant in Trump’s DC hotel but backed out after the president likened Mexicans to criminals and racists. The pair battled it out in court and eventually settled." Did Trump do as the quote says, or did he say that Mexican criminals and rapists were coming across the border?

Re #5. Was wondering why Trump went after a chef. After reading Andres had backed out of a deal, realized the two of them have a history. Perhaps Trump will start a new TV program called 'Whitehouse Chef' and profile chefs from across the nation.

The majority of federal employees belong to the merit-based "competitive service;" however, there are five classes of employees belonging to the "excepted service," which are you presidential and political appointees, who do not have civil service protections and are expected to submit resignations at the change of an administration. Those appointees may be terminated if they do not submit their resignations. Many excepted service employees seek to be converted to the competitive service, a craven act known as "nesting" or "burrowing in." To provide continuity in government, all Senior Executive Service (SES) employees, the senior-most policy and decision-makers in the federal government, are competitively hired or promoted and are expected to be non-partisan subject matter experts. Despite civil service protections, there is a pathway and process for firing under performers from the competitive service, although many supervisors and administrators are too lazy or lack sufficient management skills to follow through. Some of the rules put forth the the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have been codified in law by Congressional action and may require Congress to reverse certain legislation or create new legislation, like making permanent Trump's first term (2020) executive order creation of a Schedule F class of employee, lacking in common civil service protections, stylized more as an "at will" relationship. Biden, by executive order, eliminated Schedule F early in his presidency. With a "friendly" Congress, Trump can push to solidify his reforms in law; otherwise, the next president can reverse Trump's changes.

Biden’s Pardons Prove His Corruption 10 replies

Nothing more highlights the reasons why President Trump (and Republicans) won, why the Kamala/Biden regime lost, and proves Biden’s corruption than the pardons given by Joe in the final days of his failed presidency. In one of Biden’s final interviews, he ranted that he is “concerned about how fragile democracy is,” implying that President Donald J. Trump (DJT) is a threat to our democracy. Hey Joe -- nothing makes our republic more fragile than having a dishonest president intent on becoming wealthy, and making family members wealthy using criminal means similar to those of organized crime, along with a corrupt Department of Justice and equally corrupt FBI that refused

Joe Biden’s issuance of preemptive pardons to family members and political allies has been criticized by legal experts who argue that such actions may not offer comprehensive legal protection. On Monday, just hours before leaving office, Joe Biden granted preemptive pardons to individuals including Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired General Mark Milley, and members of the House January 6 Committee, such as former Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Additionally, he pardoned five family members: his brothers James and Francis Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens, and their spouses.

President Trump proved once again on Tuesday there is no one better at handling the corporate media, and one woke reporter learned the hard way. During a press conference on Tuesday at the White House, Trump announced the creation of an American AI company called ‘Stargate.’ This project, launched with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, will invest $500 billion in America and potentially create 100,000 new American jobs. However, the media had little interest in this and decided to launch attacks on Trump regarding his decision to free the J6 political prisoners. As TGP readers know, Trump on Monday pardoned over 1,500 of these protesters who had suffered unbearable cruelty

In a shocking revelation, sources claim that former President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, instructed National Security Council (NSC) staffers to "hold over" into the second Trump administration, allegedly to spy on and sabotage President Donald Trump’s presidency. This reported intent mirrors similar tactics used during the early days of Trump's first term, raising questions about the lengths some in the government may go to undermine the transition of power.

On Monday, Donald Trump jolted America out of decades of bad energy policy with the stroke of his pen. “Climate extremism has exploded inflation and overburdened businesses with regulation,” he declared in one of his myriad executive orders. “To commence the policies that will make our Nation united, fair, safe, and prosperous again . . . the United States [will] restore common sense to the Federal Government and unleash the potential of the American citizen.” The age of climate extremism is over; the age of energy realism is upon us. To that end, Trump has officially declared an “energy emergency.” Democrats may point to America’s record energy output and scratch their heads.—

A day after the January 6th protests at the Capitol, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham addressed a joint session of Congress on the Senate floor: "Trump and I, we've had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it… All I can say is a count me out." Why should Graham's speech matter? Simply because Graham, who is a human manifestation of a chameleon, assumed, like other D.C. swamp rats, that after the January 6th 'insurrection,' it was the end of Trump. Hence, he ceased all pretense of supporting Trump and explicitly declared his abandonment of the man whose endorsement

Harris clarified that he was not describing Trump as a righteous or evil character, nor was he saying that Trump has been a successful president, but he reiterated that his impact is monumental either way. "He is a force of history," Harris declared in his column published Tuesday.

The Trump administration has reportedly reassigned more than a dozen career Justice Department officials, including one who played a central role in pushing for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. The new assignments – given to at least 15 longtime officials – will see the federal employees remain within DOJ but in the roles where they are expected to wield less influence on the department’s major decision, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. Some officials were notified they were being transferred just hours after President Trump was sworn-in on Monday, according to the outlet.

All of Joe Biden's preemptive pardons for the worst political malefactors in recent years are an insult to the rule of law, but one in particular sticks in my craw: Mark Milley. Why? I expect bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci to be ass-covering snakes with a lust for power and disdain for accountability, and I am confident that he will burn in hell and be remembered as the mass murderer that he is. I expect politicians like Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the sc*mbags of the January 6th Committee to be liars who would sacrifice their souls for an extra minute on TV and an additional campaign dollar.

President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office. Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld apparently had enough of co-host Jessica Tarlov’s shenanigans about the second Trump presidency and the slew of executive orders that have virtually undone everything Joe Biden did over the past four years. In 36 hours, an entire presidency was revoked. Tarlov asked Gutfeld about birthright citizenship, which led to Gutfeld unleashing an epic tirade against liberal America being incapable of understanding this moment. First, on the immigration questions, Gutfeld aptly noted that you don’t need to like everything in a restaurant to like the establishment. That’s the typical authoritarian tendency of the Left—you must like or comply with everything they say, including candidates.

MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton called on all Americans to boycott companies eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, claiming they are trying to send Black people to the “back of the bus.” Sharpton made the announcement at Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, D.C., during a rally in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on Monday. He said this call to action would be done in the spirit of King’s legacy as a civil rights activist. “Why do we have DEI?

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them. Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers

The Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington gave an insultingly political speech that excoriated President Trump for...being President Trump, basically. Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde took the opportunity to slam President Trump at the National Prayer Service, where he sat among many of the nation's leaders. The idea of the Prayer Service is to unify the attendees and remind them that we are all one nation under God. It was appalling in every way, no doubt coming from a leftist who speaks endlessly about love, compassion, and unity.

This morning, while people were still sweeping up confetti and collecting empty champagne flutes from the inaugural balls, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their wives attended the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. For the more liturgically-minded readers and those wayward Episcopalians, the order of service can be found here. A certain amount of ecumenicism is to be expected and appreciated at such a service. Jesse J. Swann, Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, gave the invocation. Rabbi Susan N. Shankman read from Deuteronomy 10:17-21, and cantor Susan Bortnick offered the Jewish call to prayer. There were the requisite high-ranking members of the Episcopal Church

But while most of the speakers acquitted themselves well, a female Episcopalian "bishop" decided to fulfill the far-left's wildest dreams by directing a woke tangent at the president. During Mariann Budde's "sermon," she ranted about "transgender children" and asked Trump to have "mercy" on those who are "scared" of his administration, including those who "pick our crops."
