“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.

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.

President Donald Trump revealed that he plans to visit North Carolina in the upcoming days, noting that the state had been “abandoned by the Democrats” in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Trump revealed to reporters that he would be visiting Los Angeles, California — which recently faced several destructive wildfires, and he would also be visiting North Carolina and Nevada. “We’re going to take care of Los Angeles, I’m going there — I’m going to North Carolina, which has been abandoned by the Democrats,” Trump said. “And, I’m going to North Carolina very importantly first, I’ll be there on Friday, and then I’m going from there to Los Angeles, and then

Imagine you are one of those gullible people who believed mentions of a Biden crime family was a Republican fever dream and a sinister plot to smear an honest, devoted father, his surviving son and other relatives. You refused to watch the congressional hearings showing vast sums of foreign money were deposited in Biden family checking accounts because The New York Times and CNN said there was nothing to see there.

Trump issued a blanket pardon Monday to more than 1,500 people convicted of crimes surrounding the storming of the Capitol building during the certification of the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021. Jennings reminded former Obama administration officials David Axelrod and Van Jones, who claimed the Jan. 6 rioters received insufficient punishment, that many of the participants in the Capitol riot had their lives “ruined,” but

The man who was previously photographed with would-be assassin Ryan Routh and later honored by Joe Biden with the Presidential Medal of Freedom has released a statement following his firing by former President Donald Trump. As Cullen Linebarger reported earlier, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social early Tuesday morning to announce the termination of the first four individuals from his predecessor’s administration upon taking office. The firings, executed in signature “Apprentice-style” fashion, come as no surprise to conservatives, particularly one certain infamous general.

By any measure, 2024 was not a good year to be a Democrat. You had Joe Biden's dementia that you had tried so hard to cover up exposed during a presidential debate. Then, Nancy Pelosi tried to help you and shivved Joe Biden out the door. Then your replacement candidate, who would have been so many "firsts," turned out to be a word salad aficionado, often making Joe Biden look coherent. Finally, when you tried gaslighting the American people on a scale never before seen and insisted that they go along with your crazy ideas, they rejected you wholeheartedly. Yep, it was not a good year.

In a bold move signaling his commitment to holding the intelligence community accountable, President Donald Trump revoked the security clearances of 51 former intelligence officials who signed a controversial letter dismissing the Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. The letter surfaced weeks before the 2020 election and was widely criticized after evidence from the laptop was verified, raising questions about the intelligence officials' credibility. Trump’s decision to strip their security clearances comes amid growing concerns over political bias within the intelligence agencies and his determination to ensure integrity and transparency within national security operations.

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.

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. She implied that Trump was an enemy of gay and lesbian people, criticized him for wanting to deport

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) late Monday launched a suit challenging an executive order from President Trump seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not lawfully present. It’s an order that contradicts the Constitution, which bestows citizenship on anyone born in the United State regardless of the status of their parents. “Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is.

DAVOS, Switzerland - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday he does not support freedom of speech when it is used for extreme-right views, a day after a hand gesture by U.S. billionaire Elon Musk caused uproar during Donald Trump's inauguration festivities. "We have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany. Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. And what we do not accept is if this is supporting extreme-right positions," Scholz said in Davos when asked about the incident. Musk's hand gesture during a celebration of President Trump's inauguration drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute. Musk dismissed the criticism as a "tired" attack.
