Trump's Evolution

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 1/30/2025 3:36:57 PM

Recently, I communicated thoughts to a friend on the evolution of Trump and dealing with “Berkeley Liberals” The Achilles heel for the left is their inability to separate policies from personalities. The Left loved Trump when he was a New York real estate developer with all his panache and bravado and being somewhat of a playboy, all the while donating to politicians. When Trump became a Republican candidate his brash/rude/semi-weisenheimer traits made him an easy target for criticism. His rude insults (e.g. "Little Marco" "Look at That Face” re Carly Fiorina) may have carried the day to get the nomination but damaged his reputation as a bully.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing blowback after calling for supporters to fight President Donald Trump’s agenda not only legislatively but “in the streets.” “Right now, we’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working class Americans across the country with the bill,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Friday.“That’s not acceptable.

The three pieces of legislation are a bill to prohibit noncitizen residents of Washington, D.C., from voting in local elections, a bill to block noncitizens from helping administer elections and a constitutional amendment to prevent noncitizens from voting.

Friends of Melania Trump have their claws out for Anna Wintour’s “Condé Nasty,” they say, after Vogue dissed the first lady with a scathing fashion op-ed. Bill White — a friend of Melania, as well as President Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to Belgium — said of the first lady, “We love and adore her. We have canceled all our subscriptions to Condé NASTY. I encourage everyone who loves America to do the same.” Condé Nast’s fashion bible, Vogue, sneered of Melania’s official White House pic, “Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of ‘The Apprentice’ than assuming the role of first lady of the United States,”

On October 7 of last year, CBS News aired an edited "60 Minutes" interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, the replacement Democratic nominee. Her answers, including and especially on Israel, were so bad that the network had to edit her response, though they tried to dance around the issue once they were caught. President Donald Trump sued, and there may be a new update as Paramount Global, the parent company, is reportedly looking to settle. This follows news earlier this month that they were looking to settle.

The timing couldn’t be more providential. We celebrate Catholic Schools Week each year at the end of January, as families and neighborhoods throughout the nation highlight the importance of Catholic schools. National School Choice Week coincides with it this year, emphasizing the importance of empowering parents and their children by allowing them to have educational options and by expanding school choice across the country. And data released this week by the National Assessment of Educational Progress proves just how important it is to expand education freedom to all 50 states. We know school choice is a vital means to financially enable parents to send their children to Catholic and other schools of their choosing.

Did you vote for President Trump in the 2024 presidential election? Well, if you did, ABC co-host Sunny Hostin of The View claimed you were a reason for why an American Airlines jet and an Army Blackhawk helicopter collided in midair over Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. According to her, it was the “very telling” “result” of you wanting to “blow things up” in Washington, D.C. Amid their outrage at President Trump for suggesting the Obama and Biden administrations’ DEI programs to have the FAA hire people with “severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability,” Hostin huffed: “Yeah, I'm not going to dignify his remarks about DEI. I’m not going to do that.”

President Trump ordered federal employees to remove pronouns from their email signatures by 5 pm Friday, ABC News reported. This is Trump’s latest move to torpedo toxic DEI policies that have infected the government. Last week Trump signed an executive order declaring there only two sexes: It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

As FBI Director-designate Kash Patel faces an utterly predictable tide of pseudo-outrage from corrupt leftist liars like Sen. Adam Schiff, it’s important to remember why — as Patel outlined in his blunt and utterly correct statement Thursday to the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing. He wants to “make sure we don’t have 100,000 rapes in this country next year, make sure we don’t have 100,000 drug overdoses from Chinese fentanyl and Mexican heroin, and make sure we don’t have 17,000 homicides. “Those numbers need to be cut in half immediately, and the public will regain trust in the FBI and law enforcement.”

The FBI is stalling again. The world’s top intelligence agency is still refusing to turn over the Seth Rich records to Attorney Ty Clevenger. Attorney Ty Clevenger is the bulldog attorney who has been working for years to get to the bottom of the Seth Rich murder. His requests continue to be denied by the FBI. Kash Patel cannot be sworn in as FBI Director soon enough! Clevenger previously investigated who supplied the DNC and Podesta emails to Wikileaks during the 2016 election cycle. This was always the key to the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense. No proof was ever offered up by the fake news legacy media, Democrats, or the intelligence community

On Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary-nominee Robert F. Kennedy sat before yet another Senate committee to answer questions, and it went about as well as expected. When Kennedy appeared before the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, he was questioned by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), who went on a wild rant about whether he supported onesies with an anti-vax message on them. It was comedy gold. Sadly, Sanders also sits on the Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee, so he had a chance to dig deeper into the mystery of the onesies and other matters.

It comes after the White House rescinded an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo that ordered the freeze of most federal grants and assistance, which was blocked by a federal judge on Tuesday.

There are no survivors. All 67 people onboard the aircraft and the chopper perished.[snip] We’re learning that the Blackhawk helicopter might have been on an unapproved route before the crash.

On January 29th, 2025, the United States suffered its first hull loss of a passenger airliner since the Colgan crash of 2009. Tragically, 67 people appear to have perished after a mid-air collision between a CRJ-700 regional jet operated by PSA (contracted by American Airlines) and a military UH-60 Blackhawk. The CRJ was flying a circling approach to runway 33 at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), which sits directly across the river from the nation's Capitol. In layman's terms, they were flying down the Potomac with the end of the approach being a low-altitude left turn onto short final to land
