Trump Just Revoked Fauci’s Security Detail
Posted By: mc squared, 1/24/2025 2:37:42 PM
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.

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? [snip] Governor Gavin Newsom’s offer to waive building and environmental regulations to help rebuild after the wildfires, and L.A.’s dalliance with programs such as C40, the Livable Communities Initiative (LCI), and SmartLA2028, cast suspicion of a link to the policies of the elitist
All week long, Antifa in Portland have been rampaging over President Donald Trump retaking the White House. In response to Trump's inauguration, Antifa militants attacked an ICE facility, smashed up an elections office, and vandalized downtown Portland businesses.
However, how local media covered the multi-day uprising would have you believe it was a "mostly peaceful" protest that got a little too "intense."
"The united calls for justice continued for hours, but then a march broke out, which led the protest to change from peaceful to intense," FOX 12 Oregon journalist Mikhala Armstrong said in a news segment reporting on an overnight anti-Trump rally Tuesday that preceded widespread destruction of property.

~Say what you like about Axel Rudakubana, the slaughterer of three English girls under ten years old, but - unlike the British Prime Minister, the Home Secretary, the Liverpool Police and most of the court eunuchs in the UK media - he appears to be an honest man:
It's a good thing those children are dead... I am so glad... I am so happy.
He has always been entirely upfront about such things, telephoning Britain's so-called "Childline" and asking them:
What should I do if I want to kill somebody? Judging from his many interactions with "the authorities" (including with the laughably misnamed "Prevent" programme),
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers hit the ground running this week, arresting multiple violent offenders in sanctuary cities, including a hostile Haitian gang member with a lengthy rap sheet who said he “ain’t going back to Haiti” and raged “F–k Trump, Biden forever!”
ICE officers in Boston made eight noteworthy arrests, including multiple MS-13 gang members, murder and rape suspects and the Haitian gang member, with 18 recent convictions, according to Fox News, who rode along with ICE for the arrests.
A UK teenager with an al Qaeda manual was sentenced Thursday for the ruthless murder of three girls and wounding of 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last summer — as it emerged that he’d bragged about being “so happy” that “those children are dead.”
Axel Rudakubana, who turned 18 days after the slaughter, was sentenced to 13 terms of life in prison — and ordered to serve a minimum of 52 years. He escaped getting the UK equivalent of life without parole because he was only 17 at the time of the attack.
Still, “it is highly likely that he’ll never be released,”

Ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband made $38 million worth of stock trades in the weeks leading up to President Donald Trump’s inauguration — including an investment in a once-obscure artificial intelligence firm whose shares have soared nearly 50% in the past week.
Paul Pelosi, the venture capitalist who is married to the Democratic lawmaker whose 11th congressional district encompasses San Francisco, sold $24 million worth of Apple stock as well as $5 million worth of shares in AI chip-maker Nvidia.
Both of those lucrative transactions were executed on New Year’s Eve, according to government filings. Nancy Pelosi is legally required to disclose her husband’s stock trades.
Former President Joe Biden said he was “concerned” about Donald Trump giving preemptive pardons to family members, according to a resurfaced interview from 2020 — before he went on to pardon his own son and siblings while doling out the highest number of presidential pardons and commutations in US history.
In a December 2020 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Biden warned against then-outgoing President Trump issuing preemptive pardons to his adult children, his attorney Rudy Giuliani and possibly even one for himself before the Democrat’s Department of Justice took over.

It isn't as if he hasn't already had an extraordinarily eventful day, but after church services, tea, a swearing-in, an inaugural address, another speech to supporters, a review of the troops, a luncheon, another speech, and a trek to Capital One Arena to address 20,000 supporters there and sign several executive orders, President Donald Trump headed to the Oval Office to sign even more executive orders. (After that, he's set to attend inaugural balls.)
And it wasn't just that he signed a whole slew of executive orders; it's that he did so while simultaneously shooting the breeze with reporters, discussing a wide variety of issues. It was something to behold.
Adm. Linda L. Fagan, the first female commandant of the Coast Guard, has been terminated, with sources suggesting her failure to address border security while simultaneously focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies was a significant reason for the firing.
U.S. Naval Institute News reviewed a message from the acting secretary of Homeland Security explaining that Fagan had been removed from her position.
“Under my statutory authority as the Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security I have relieved Admiral Linda L. Fagan of her duties as Commandant of the United States Coast Guard
Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that the Trump administration’s proposed deportations would be “an absolute gut punch” to the U.S. economy. Partial transcript as follows: [snip]
KAINE: Well, I don’t exactly know how the administration is going to do it. But let me tell you, I’m hearing significant concerns from many sectors in the Virginia economy, agriculture, hospitality, health care, construction, that massive deportation rates would be an absolute gut punch to the Virginia and American economy
The “clicks” you hear around town are the sounds of “public” toilet locks snapping shut. The Great Loo Lockdown is gathering steam as businesses protect their bathrooms, and their customers, from the insane, incontinent souls who move in and leave them unusable and disgusting for everyone else.
Starbucks is the latest chain to announce that its locations nationwide are henceforth off-limits to loiterers, drug users, panhandlers, and bathroom vandals.
Restricting toilets that were previously truly “public” is typically done in the name of providing better service to paying customers.

packed illegal migrant deportation flight
from landing 48 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.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had good qualities. He pushed through Trump’s judicial nominees during the first presidency, got his tax cuts passed, and is a noted legislative strategist and tactician. It doesn’t mean he always bats a thousand, but McConnell got key portions of the Trump agenda passed after the 2016 election. Now, he’s erased all that goodwill with this dastardly vote against Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. McConnell’s defection, plus that of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME), led to Vice President JD Vance performing his constitutional duty to break the tie.

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.
The conversation follows months of talk in Europe, particularly in capitals like Paris, Warsaw, and London,
Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Secretary of Defense in a late night confirmation vote on Friday night.
Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote on Friday after toxic RINO Senators McConnell, Murkowski and Collins voted “no.”
WATCH: (Video) It was already known that GOP Senators Murkowski and Collins were going to vote against Hegseth on Friday evening, so all eyes were on McConnell after Fox News’ Chad Pergram said the Kentucky Senator might defect.
After the 2024 election, the Biden administration knew what was coming in January: a massive crackdown on aid to Ukraine. Since Kamala Harris’ epic defeat last November, the Biden White House wasted little time, if any, sending hordes of cash to the eastern European nation, which became more of an outlet for liberals raging at Russia for supposedly interfering in the 2016 election than a national security priority. Like anything Biden touched, this issue became more unpopular as the months progressed. With Secretary of State Marco Rubio, all aid has been shut down. The gravy train to Kiev is over (via Politico):
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.
The corrupt ANC government just starved dozens of black miners to death to gain control over the diamond trade. The regime suffered a massive decline in popularity forcing it to cut deals even as it hiked welfare spending and taxes. [SNIP] President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday signed the Expropriation Bill into law.
In a statement, the Presidency said the Bill allows for local, provincial and national authorities “to expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons that seek, among others, to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources”.

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.
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.

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's taxpayer-funded security detail less than a week after President Joe Biden have him a preemptive pardon.
CNN reported Friday on the latest move by Trump to punish his political enemies.
Fauci - the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - has since hired a private security firm, the network said.
The longtime infectious disease expert has taken much of the blame for the unpopular lockdowns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, despite working under Trump at the time.
During his trip to Asheville, North Carolina Friday, Trump shrugged off the move. 'No, I think you know,
This is the week of the inauguration of Donald Trump, but it also coincides, not just with Martin Luther King’s birthday—on the same day as the inauguration, but also the meeting of the world’s elite at Davos, Switzerland, lorded over by 86-year-old Klaus Schwab, who, created this organization.
If you don’t know what Davos is, don’t worry about it. It’s not that important, in some ways. I mean, it’s not doing a lot of good for the rest of us.
But it is important because it has aspirations that are quite dangerous. Basically, its premise is that if we got together all of the “smart people"
