How Trump’s team will break down the
woke bureaucracy

Americans are unifying behind President Trump far more than we did in 2017. Eight years ago, cries of “not my president” resounded through Washington, DC, but this year, it seems the hard-left “resistance” has gone out with a whimper. Unfortunately, that’s not the case inside the federal government. A new poll from Napolitan News showed that 64% of the federal bureaucrats who work in DC and voted for Kamala Harris vow not to implement a lawful order from Trump if they consider it bad policy.

Seems to me deciding to follow directives based on your own concept of policy would be a 'for cause' reason to fire someone. I am sure there is a percentage that just go with the unthinking flow and talk big, but they have to know that actions have consequences. I don't care if an employee 'whines' about following a lawful order, as long as the order is executed, if not, then we have a different conversation.

Closely monitor the behaviors of the bureaucrats. If they fail to act as ordered, they get on probation the first offense. Second offense, fired. If even 10% are eliminated (the actual definition of decimation) I'm betting the rest will see the light.

"unelected bureaucrats write far more regulations than Congress passes laws," And the SCOTUS has clearly stated the agencies have NO LEGAL RIGHT to enforce such regulations. I suspect that Trump's people will simply shut down this process and tell the agencies to submit proposed legislation for review to the President. If Trump and his people think it is worthwhile, it will be sent to Congress. I bet not too much Leftist legislation will get that far. Oh yes, and people that try to do and end run around Trump? "You're FIRED!!!" "Left-wing activist groups have been feeding their cronies into the administrative state for years" And Trump is flushing them out with a fire hose and being VERY selective about who he hires. " Trump will have to work overtime to root out the bad actors" Not so much. Blanket firings seem to be doing a good job to start. Once Trump's leaders are in place, it will become apparent who the remaining Leftists are. "the CFPB is insulated from Congress’ oversight" Such things would almost certainly be unconstitutional to the current SCOTUS. Government removed from elected officials, the President or Congress, is banned. And sure, to make lasting changes it probably will have to be brought before the courts or Congress. To get rid of bad things that have wormed their way into government, the courts are the first resort. To create new good things, probably Congress first.

Is there some kind of implosion going on in Colombia? Hours after President Trump announced sanctions on the onetime ally for refusing to accept two planeloads of repatriated illegals after agreeing to take them, Colombia's far-left president, Gustavo Petro, now has massive street protests from the locals angry over the foolish fight he picked.The locals have very good reasons for being angry:. The U.S. imports 17% of its coffee from Colombia. But 40% of all of Colombia's exports go to the U.S. A 50% tariff is going to hurt them more than a reciprocal tariff will hurt us.

While speaking Saturday in Las Vegas, President Donald Trump suggested, as he had during the 2024 campaign, replacing the federal income tax with tariffs on foreign imports. We don’t need to see an economic analysis to believe this is debate worth having. Of all the good Trump could do as president in the next four years, eliminating the federal income tax would be one of his greatest achievements. “If the tariffs work out like I think, a thing like that could happen, if you want to know the truth,” he said.

[T]he PA government in Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians in the West Bank, decided to suspend the broadcasts of the Qatar-owned Al-Jazeera television for supporting and promoting Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups. Israel and some Arab states had also shut down the broadcasts for the same reason.

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.’”

Diplomacy, negotiations, or a new "deal," have no hope of limiting the regime's plans either for a nuclear weapons breakout or for "exporting the revolution" after Trump has safely left office. "There's a one in trillion chance you'll degrade the Iranian nuclear program through diplomacy. There's a 90% chance you'll degrade it through military action by Israel, supported by the United States." — US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Politico, January 19, 2025. An empowered, nuclear-armed Iran would no doubt increase its support for its terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, as well as most likely triggering the mother of all nuclear arms-races.
In Two Days, Trump Answered More Reporter

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.

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,

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.
