Abandon the National Cathedral
Posted By: 4250Luis, 1/23/2025 3:58:20 PM
While President Trump is enacting big, bold, audacious plans for America, it might be time to scrap all services at the activist-oriented National Cathedral and start a different tradition in a more welcoming, inclusive place. It’s no secret that traditional religious denominations in America have long been on a downward spiral, closing their doors for good. It should also come as no surprise that the Episcopal church has been one of the hardest hit groups. One expert on the denomination even said that on its current course, the Episcopal church could disappear by 2050. I can totally see that happening.

OK, we admit, we haven’t actually counted the number of reporters’ questions President Donald Trump has answered since being sworn in. And four years is certainly an exaggeration. In any case, someone covering the White House should keep track, because it won’t take long for Trump to beat Biden on this score.
Biden held the fewest number of press conferences of any modern president. He would answer questions only from pre-selected reporters. He had to have a cheat sheet with him at all times to give his answers, and even then the White House would often have to rush out to correct the record.
Senators are looking for excuses over reasons to refuse President Donald Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard — a combat veteran who previously served as a Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii and now faces character assassination.
Gabbard, who is meeting with lawmakers on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon, committed two crimes that now threaten to derail her confirmation: leaving the Democrat party and campaigning against the interventionist impulses of the deep state war machine.
Are the L.A. wildfires — which have razed more than 38,000 acres (57 sq. miles), the equivalent of a midsize city like Minneapolis — a chance outbreak? Or is there a design behind this Firepocalypse? More specifically, is it part of a concerted attempt by the global elite to use fire, floods, and fear to push so-called “sustainable” goals for the Great Reset?
Many may dismiss those suspicions as alarmist. But a look at the big picture — including fires from recent years, weather manipulation programs, and plans for depopulation and rewilding — shows they are not unfounded. The unpreparedness for the L.A. fires,

President Trump announced Wednesday that he selected Sean Curran, one of the agents who rushed on stage during the Butler, Pa., assassination attempt, to serve as director of the Secret Service in his second term.
“Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
Trump, 78, touted Curran’s 23 years in the Secret Service and his work as assistant special agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division during his first term.
Trump Stands With the Founders on Trade

When President Donald Trump gave his inaugural address in the U.S. Capitol on Monday, he included an explanation of his trade policy.
"I will immediately begin the overhaul of our trade system to protect American workers and their families," he said. How will he do this? By imposing tariffs on imports.
"Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens," he said. "For this purpose, we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury, coming from foreign sources."
The three tech CEOs who have joined forces in President Donald Trump's multi-billion dollar artificial intelligence infrastructure project defended the venture as an investment that "impacts all of humanity.""This is a very large investment that affects all of humanity," Oracle founder Larry Ellison told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on "Special Report" on Tuesday. President Trump unveiled a massive AI infrastructure project from the private sector on the first full day of his second term in office on Tuesday.

Address: ‘The Golden Age Of America
Begins Right Now’ 1 reply
President Donald Trump became the second commander-in-chief ever to serve two non-consecutive terms on Monday. He was sworn in for a second time following two failed assassination attempts and an unprecedented campaign to imprison him.
“The golden age of America begins right now,” Trump said. “From this day forward, our country will flourish and be respected again all over the world.” The president vowed to transform the nation into the “envy of every nation” beginning with a series of executive orders and efforts intended to unleash the economy, dismantle the leviathan of the administrative state, restore American patriotism, and embark on a new era of exploration in space.
Here Are Trump's First Executive Orders

Trump signed executive orders to withdraw from the China-dominated World Health Organization and trash federal DEI programs. The Trump transition team released a lengthy statement and compilation of today's orders: Today, after being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, President Donald J. Trump began taking aggressive and decisive action to make good on the promises he made to the American people during the campaign.
There’s no other word for the sheer ambition and scope of President Donald Trump’s second inaugural address.
Trump is back, with all the confidence of a man delivered from death for a purpose.
Voters saved his political life and legacy by reelecting him in the face of every accusation and criminal charge against him. Trump has been given a second chance — by God and the country alike — and his address left no doubt he intends to use it to transform America.
“The future is ours, and our golden age has just begun,” he promised.
The old Washington advice that Americans should watch what a president does and not what he says needs an urgent update.
Donald Trump intends to say and do the very same things.
That was the message and meaning of his unorthodox inauguration speech.
He sat in the Oval Office before and the four years he spent trying to get back there have given him plenty of time to decide what he wants to do. The result is that his 30-minute address wasn’t one of those that is chock full of soaring rhetoric that reaches for the sky but-
Among the first, most urgent, orders of business for President Donald J. Trump should be to create a Maganomics "Manhattan Project" to develop a nuclear fusion reactor superior to China's tokamak.
Communist China, which has a head-start, has just helped place a tokamak in Thailand.
This century's great clean-energy revolution is science's newest frontier: producing inexpensive, unlimited energy through nuclear fusion. It is done in containers, called tokamaks, giant nuclear reactors to make and store it. Smaller reactors "barely 3 feet across" are already being developed in the US, including one in Idaho and two in northern Nevada.

Intensifying talk in European capitals about sending peacekeepers to Ukraine’s front lines is welcome but it won’t work without American boots on the ground, President Volodymyr Zelensky says at the Davos World Economic Forum meeting.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has been at Davos this week drumming up support, but also attempting to ingratiate himself with President Donald Trump by acting as a conduit for America First messaging to European leaders. Nevertheless, Bloomberg reports the Ukrainian “bristled” at the suggestion the United States wouldn’t put boots on the ground in Ukraine to deter further Russian aggression.

packed illegal migrant deportation flight
from landing 25 replies
Mexican authorities blocked a US military plane from deporting illegal migrants on Thursday after President Trump's immigration crackdown began.
US officials told NBC News that a jet filled with illegal immigrants bound for Mexico never took off after authorities south of the border rejected the move.
The flight was one of three that were set to take off on Thursday, alongside two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s carrying over 150 people, as part of what Trump has described as the largest mass deportation effort in US history.
Deporting migrants to foreign countries requires permission from the incoming nation's government, which Mexico declined on Thursday.
The United States Marine Corps arrived at the U.S. southern border on Friday to secure the border and stop the flow of illegal aliens entering the country.
U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) said in a statement that the Trump administration deployed approximately 1,500 active-duty personnel from the U.S. Army and the U.S. Marine Corps to augment those who are already there assisting federal border officials.
“These military forces will support enhanced detection and monitoring efforts and repair and emplace physical barriers,” the statement said.
On January 21st, 2025, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended the Service of Prayer for the Nation at the National Cathedral. As a believer, I attended the service for the purpose of praying for our nation, President Trump, the president’s family, and the success of his administration.
I purposely left the prayer service early after realizing how the pulpit was being used for left-wing activism and not for true worship unto God, to seek His will and wisdom. Mr. President, what accosted you at the prayer service was political–not biblical.

Norah O’Donnell bid farewell to her anchor chair at “CBS Evening News” on Thursday night, calling the gig an “honor of a lifetime” — as the network prepares for an overhauled broadcast.
“It has been an incredible five and a half years,” O’Donnell said.
Oprah Winfrey surprised O’Donnell, 51, with a montage that featured interviews with Pope Francis and former Vice President Kamala Harris and on-location coverage across roughly 1,300 broadcasts. Norah O’Donnell officially signed off as the “CBS Evening News” anchor on Thursday.

“You have so much to be proud of,” Winfrey said.
Democratic strategist James Carville hopes that former President Joe Biden can help his party by getting out of the way, since "no one wants to hear from" him anymore.
"Well, this is the kind of truth of where we are," Carville said to his "Politics War Room" podcast co-host Al Hunt on Wednesday. "We all know Biden. Actually, you and I know him personally. And I think it’s fair to say that we’re long-time, at some level, admirers of Joe Biden. What he’s done to himself is, no one wants to hear from this guy anymore, OK?"
He added, "Just go to your condo in Rehoboth and stay there. And that’s
Pete Hegseth will have enough votes to become Secretary of Defense, which is a tremendous victory for Donald Trump. The vote was 50-50, and Vice President JD Vance is expected to break the tie.
All eyes were on the votes by Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), as Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) had previously indicated they were going to vote against Hegseth. McConnell voted no, but Tillis ultimately decided to vote for Hegseth's confirmation.
"From the beginning, I have been clear about my position: if President Trump’s nominees were reported favorably out of the relevant committees, I would support their confirmation
Establishment media personalities say they are already worn out from covering President Donald Trump and his resurgent drive to deliver the “Golden Age of America.”[snip] With Trump’s return, his executive orders, pardons, and policies are already flooding the media landscape, such as Thursday’s bombshell report of ICE capturing illegal aliens and deporting them. Day four “feels like month four,” Puck’s Tara Palmeri whined Thursday, noting she was hesitant to report the news for fear of “piling on to the deluge of Trump news.”
Trump Just Revoked Fauci’s Security Detail

President Donald Trump cut off taxpayer-funded security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, he confirmed this week.
According to The New York Times, Fauci did not have Secret Service protection. He was protected by federal marshals, and later by a private contractor whose fees were paid by the government.
Trump confirmed the news to a journalist in North Carolina.
“I think when you work for government, at some point your security detail comes off, and you know, you can’t have them forever,” Trump told a reporter at a hurricane response briefing in Asheville, NC.
The world's biggest iceberg — a wall of ice the size of Rhode Island — is lumbering toward a remote island off Antarctica that's home to millions of penguins and seals. The trillion-ton slab of ice — called a megaberg — could slam into South Georgia Island and get stuck or be guided around it by currents. If it gets stuck it could make it hard for penguin parents to feed their babies and some young could even starve. Overall, however, researchers aren't too worried about major harm from the iceberg, named A23a.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Cheryl Hines used a roof-mounted sprinkler system to protect their Los Angeles from the LA fires.
Kennedy, 71, and Hines, 59, live among Hollywood's elite in a stunning $6.6 million mansion in Brentwood, one of the most exclusive enclaves in the city.
After wildfires decimated the City of Angels, the fires reached the glitzy area in the Santa Monica Mountains. The home of the couple however has remained intact, thanks to their sprinkler system which was caught on camera dousing the exterior with water.
Footage captured of the system shows a mist of water emitting from the roof, hitting a tree
Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg accused President Trump of using slain President John F. Kennedy as a “political prop,” when the commander in chief issued an order Thursday to declassify files tied to his grandfather’s murder Thursday.
The 31-year-old grandson of the 35th president took to social media to brush aside the bombshell announcement Trump made about long-held government secrets tied to JFK’s assassination, Schlossberg’s great uncle Robert F. Kennedy’s slaying and Martin Luther King’s murder from decades ago. (Photo) “JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is alot [sic] sadder than the myth – a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,” Schlossberg tweeted. “Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.”
