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,

The U.S. Department of Justice ordered its civil rights division to halt a majority of its functions, including a freeze on pursuing new cases, indictments or settlements, according to reporting from the Washington Post.
Per a memo sent to Kathleen Wolfe — President Donald Trump’s appointee as the temporary supervisor of the DOJ’s civil rights division until his nominee, Harmeet Dhillon, is confirmed by the U.S. Senate — the division is to not file “any new complaints, motions to intervene, agreed-upon remands, amicus briefs, or statements of interest.”
The DOJ’s civil rights division is primarily tasked with enforcing laws prohibiting discrimination — from disability rights to housing, immigrant and civil rights

with ‘X’ gender markers after Trump
order: report 6 replies
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has scrapped US passport applications allowing Americans to designate their gender identity as “X” after President Trump issued an executive order Monday that it is now “the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female.”
State Department staff were informed of the change in an internal cable sent Thursday mandating “sex, and not gender, shall be used” in official documents like passports and birth records in US embassies and consulates abroad, the Guardian reported.
Staff were specifically instructed to “suspend any application requesting an X sex marker” and to “suspend any application where the applicant is seeking to change their sex marker.”
A shocking scene unfolded Thursday morning in America’s smallest state that might be related to President Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.
As The Providence Journal reported, FBI agents raided the law offices of Joseph Molina Flynn at The 127 Dorrance St. building in Providence. Molina Flynn is a prominent immigration lawyer in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and serves as a municipal court judge in Central Falls, Rhode Island.
The Valley Breeze notes that Molina Flynn was once an illegal alien from Colombia before becoming an attorney. He became the first illegal to serve on the bench in Central Falls back in 2021.
U.S. civil rights groups are warning that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday lays the groundwork for reinstatement of a ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim or Arab countries.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said the new order relied on the same statutory authority used to justify Trump's 2017 travel ban and offered even "wider latitude to use ideological exclusion to deny visa requests and remove individuals" who had already entered the country. It unveiled a new 24-hour hotline
The Pentagon announced the Department of Defense will provide military airlift support to support the DHS in deporting detained illegal aliens. The United States Air Force will supply four aircraft to remove up to 5,000 aliens currently detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
On Wednesday, the Department of Defense ordered at least 1,500 active duty service members to be deployed to the U.S. southern border, Breitbart Texas reported. The deployment supports executive orders signed on Monday by President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden was hit with one final insult after handing the White House to Donald Trump - Google left him off the list of US presidents.
Social media users have pointed out that the Democrat was left out of the search engine's results when people looked for 'US presidents in order.'
It showed Barack Obama and both of Trump's terms - but nothing for Biden, who served between 2021 and 2025.
WASHINGTON, DC — During a meeting on Wednesday of the Senate Committee on the Budget, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) told Office of Management and Budget Director Nominee Russell T. Vought that his America First Act would ban illegal immigrants from receiving welfare and other benefits.
Senator Lee introduced the America First Act in December 2024. The legislation is designed to prevent “illegal immigrants paroled into the United States from accessing billions of dollars in welfare and other benefits intended for American families.” Texas Representative Chip Roy and Chairman Jodey Arrington introduced a companion bill in the House.
President Donald Trump was so busy on his first day in office that it’s been a challenge to cover everything that he did. The best way to know which are the best ones to discuss is to look at the way Democrats are reacting to them. His pardon of J6 prisoners was a big one; they’re really up in arms about that. Another one was his executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants in the Now, Democrat attorneys general from 22 states
President Donald Trump’s recent executive order targeting electric vehicle charging infrastructure funding could have significant implications for Elon Musk’s Tesla, which has benefited from these programs in the past.
TechCrunch reports that in direct move against the EV industry, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declaring that “All agencies shall immediately pause the disbursement of funds” from programs created by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The order specifically calls for a halt to funding for EV charging stations made available through the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program and the Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) grant program.
Former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny accepted Vice President-elect J.D. Vance’s invitation Friday to be his personal guest at the upcoming Army-Navy game over the weekend.
A jury found Penny not guilty of criminally negligent homicide on Monday relating to the death of Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man, who the now-former defendant held in a chokehold to protect surrounding passengers on a New York City subway in May 2023. Vance praised Penny for his “courage” and criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who prosecuted the former Marine, for attempting to “ruin [Penny’s] life for having a backbone” in a Friday post on X.

Report to Work Regularly, a Blatant Disregard
of Duty 29 replies
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.

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.

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.

“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.

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"
