A Breathtaking First Week
Posted By: Imright, 1/26/2025 4:56:48 AM
In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do. The scope and speed of his actions are nothing short of breathtaking: Pardoning and commuting over 1000

The first week of the second Trump presidency is over, and the liberal media decided to use it as one last effort, though I’m sure they’ll try again in the future, to make us care about January 6. When Donald J. Trump was being sworn in as the 47th president of the United States last Monday, CNN noted the surreal aspect that this was the site where Trump supporters walked around peacefully in what has laughably been construed as an act of armed rebellion. No one cares, guys. (X Video) Your little committee couldn’t make us care about this little riot that most Americans moved on
President Trump’s inauguration last week set viewership records with an estimated 80.7 million viewers, the President announced.
The previous record is held by Ronald Reagan, who had an estimated 41.8 million television viewers for his first inauguration. Trump nearly doubled this number.
Trump’s inauguration ceremony was originally planned for the West Front of the U.S. Capitol but was moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda due to frigid weather conditions. Despite the limited attendance in the Rotunda, thousands packed into the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC, and attended watch parties across the country to watch the historic ceremony.
Almost every seat in the 20,000-seat arena was filled.
These paragraphs might be the most satisfying to read for a long time in an NBC News story: President Donald Trump's pardons gutted the prosecutorial unit at the Department of Justice responsible for the January 6 cases. Some described it as being part of the worst days of their careers. We don’t care. Others have already left the DOJ since last summer, joining the Kamala Harris campaign with the explicit hope that their work could help prevent Trump from killing the January 6 cases (via NBC News): (X) Federal prosecutors in the now-disbanded Capitol Siege Section
President Donald Trump’s executive order ending all federal DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) programs has already resulted in 395 government bureaucrats being placed on leave, a senior administration official told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump’s new department headed by Elon Musk, said on Friday that an estimated $420 million in current and impending contracts, mostly focused on DEI, have been canceled. Prior to being inaugurated, Trump vowed to end former President Joe Biden’s “diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates,” and “return our country to the merit system.” On his first day as president, he issued an executive order
Florida principal charged after booze-filled

party with 100 teens thrown at her home: police 3 replies
A Florida elementary school principal who once earned teacher of the year honors was arrested Friday after a raucous house party where around 100 teens allegedly downed booze was held inside her home, according to authorities.
Roosevelt Elementary School Principal Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan and another teacher, Karly Anderson, who works at the same school, were both charged days after the wild bash on Jan. 19 was reported to Cocoa Beach police.
At least some of the young partiers were drinking alcohol they got from coolers inside the home, and one youngster even suffered a medical emergency tied to the drinking, WJXT reported.
The idea of carving President Donald Trump’s likeness into South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore is apparently picking up steam.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) told the New York Post that she is introducing legislation to have the job done, the outlet reported Saturday. Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was the first to propose the move during a recent interview on the Benny Johnson Show: (X Video) In response, Luna said she would soon file legislation on the matter: (X Video)
President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have reached historic highs at the onset of his second term, a phenomenon that has left some far-left personalities, including CNN’s Kate Bolduan, visibly struggling to come to terms with the reality of Trump’s enduring popularity.
As Trump defies expectations and historical trends, Bolduan’s skepticism seems to embody what many conservatives see as a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS).
During a recent segment on CNN, data analyst Harry Enten presented a surprising statistical revelation that President Trump is the first president to have a higher net approval rating in the first month of his second term than at any point during his entire first term.
Donald Trump spoke virtually to Klaus Schwab's World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, on January 24, only four days after he was sworn in as the 47th president of the U.S. A panel of 'experts' gathered to hear his speech, then discuss what Trump had said. The panel concluded that the world should be aware that what he says represents a significant change in the global millennial economic order.
Trump said, "I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal -- I call it the Green New Scam; withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord; and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate."
Rain has finally returned to wildfire-scorched Los Angeles — but now officials are warning flooding and landslides could wreak more chaos on the battered city along its “burn scars.”
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for the area from 4 p.m. Sunday to 4 p.m. Monday, with the danger focused on regions where the Palisades, Eaton and other fires previously raged.
“There is an increased risk of heavier rain rates and/or thunderstorms for many areas south of Point Conception, particularly Sun afternoon through Mon afternoon,” the National Weather Service Los Angeles said.
Deportations will continue every day and culminate in millions of illegal migrants being jettisoned from the US, as President Trump promised during the 2024 campaign, border czar Tom Homan says.
Homan, 63, declared Sunday that everyone who is in the US illegally is “on the table” for deportation and praised the Trump administration for sending a “strong signal to the world: Our border is closed.”
Homan — asked on ABC News’ “This Week,” “Is that going to be a constant commitment from the US military every single day to take deportees out?” — responded, “Yes.” (Photo)
More than a thousand US troops have been dispatched to the southern border
Colombian President Gustavo Petro backed down on his declaration that he would not accept deportation flights from the United States. He now says he will send his presidential plane to personally pick up the deported migrants, a U.S. official with knowledge on the matter told Breitbart News.
The Colombian president’s backpedaling came after President Donald Trump announced he would impose numerous sanctions—including “emergency 25% tariffs”—on Colombia in response to Petro’s reversal of his promise to accept deportation flights.On Sunday, Petro — who initially said he would accept deportation flights from the U.S. but then refused to receive two flights containing a total of 160 deportable migrants — suggested

In the unlikely event that California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff has ever missed an opportunity to make a fool out of himself, I'm not aware of it. From continually promising (lying) to reveal smoking-gun evidence that Hunter Biden's infamous laptop was a Russian plot — which he never produced — to outrageous unfounded charges about the Jan. 6 Capitol ,to now beclowning himself as President Donald Trump's deportation of illegal aliens gets underway, the ever-smug Schiff is all over it.
Schiff whined on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday that deporting illegals who steal is “terrible overreach.”

Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t approve of President Trump’s pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who “beat up cops” who were defending the Capitol.
“No,” Graham said, when asked whether he’s okay with the most violent offenders on Jan. 6 getting pardoned, in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“I’ve always said that I think when you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public at large, and that’s not what you want to do to protect cops,” Graham continued. “But he has that power.”
A “Calexit” initiative to allow California to secede from the United States has been cleared to legally gather signatures. If passed, the proposed measure — “Calexit,” a nod to the Brexit vote in the UK — would be on the ballot in 2028 and ask voters: “Should California leave the United States and become a free and independent country?” For the measure to pass, at least 50% of registered voters must participate in the election, and at least 55% — or more than 500,000 people, must vote “yes” by July 22.
Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” warned the Trump administration that his local law enforcement “will stand up for those law-abiding, undocumented people” facing deportation.
Host Dana Bash said, “How are you preparing, particularly if they do target schools, churches and small businesses as they are now allowed to do?”Pritzker said, “Well, let me start by being clear that when we’re talking about violent criminals who have been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state. We want them out of the country. We hope they do get deported. And if that’s who they’re picking up, we’re all for it.
President Donald Trump (won't get tired of typing that for a long time) has done so much, so fast, that it's hard to believe. He's 78 years old but seems to have the energy of a much younger man. He has signed a huge host of executive orders, many of them revoking the previous administration's policies. He has engaged the press in free-wheeling, unscripted conversations. (Snip) The man is a flippin' prodigy. So much so, in fact, that we sometimes forget that there was another guy who served four years as president, and in between the two non-consecutive Trump terms, at that.
What was his name again?
Former President Joe Biden, who is Catholic, joined a historically black Freemason lodge just one day before he left the presidency, an offense punishable by excommunication in the Church.
Biden was conferred with “Master Mason membership” and “full honors” on Jan. 19 at the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of South Carolina, according to the Conference of Grand Masters announcement. Joining the Freemasons as a Catholic forbids an individual from receiving communion, with the potential for excommunication, according to canon law of the Catholic Church.
Furious Donald Trump has hit back at Colombia and vowed to immediately impose an 'emergency 25% tariff on all goods'. Trump has lashed out at Colombia President Gustavo Petro after two U.S. military C-17 aircraft flights from California with 80 Colombian migrants each were not allowed to land. The flights werre initially cleared for landing but President Petro decided to revoke all diplomatic clearances, according to officials. Responding on Truth Social, Trump laid out his drastic measures, insisting this was "just the beginning" in a worrying threat.
On Sunday afternoon, he wrote: "I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals,

An announcement surfaced online Friday, issued the Conference of Grand Masters of Prince Hall Lodge Freemasonry, and stating that the Grand Lodge of South Carolina had conferred membership on President Joe Biden.

A young black woman recently recorded a vulgar rant calling for the assassination of President Trump and falsely claiming that “maybe, if you shoot him, maybe the next president will give you a pardon for it, and you’ll be released out of jail.”
“We’re not doing that grazing his skin, his ear s***, okay? We’re going full-blown Lincoln, full-blown Kennedy right now,” the woman said.
“I don’t give a f*** anymore. I mean, you obviously know that because I’m posting this,” she continues. “Someone get up there. I need someone with precision that knows what they’re doing.”
It is unclear exactly when the clip was recorded, but she references the attempted assassination
America is headed for a depopulation crisis.
That, at least, is the major takeaway of a new report released this month by the Congressional Budget Office. According to the CBO, if current trends continue, American deaths will outnumber American births in a mere eight years. With a united Republican government, we have an opportunity to address this upcoming crisis by building on the economic success of President Trump’s first term and making it easier for Americans to start or expand their families.
President Donald Trump indicated Saturday that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and send the bombed-out Palestinian refugees from there to neighboring Middle Eastern nations.
During an extended question-and-answer on Air Force One, President Trump floated the idea of moving Palestinians to create a clean slate.
“I’d like Egypt to take people,” the president said, the AP reports, adding, “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing and say, ‘You know, it’s over.’”
When CBS announced that it landed the first post-inaugural interview with Vice President JD Vance, with Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation, many conservatives questioned why Vance would even give the time of day to hateful “legacy” media. Within minutes, we had our answer.
The interview wasn’t very wide-ranging, with Brennan honing in on those spots where she could try to put Vance on his back foot. The first question set the tone: MARGARET BRENNAN: Pete Hegseth, it was a tie, bipartisan opposition, smallest margin since the job was created. You had to break that tie. If the nominee can't unite your party, how is he going to lead
