President Donald Trump has fired the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Rohit Chopra, in the latest purge of a Biden administration holdover.
Chopra was one of the more important regulators from the previous Democratic administration who was still on the job since Trump took office on Jan. 20.
During Trump's first term, the Republican had picked Chopra as a Democrat member of the Federal Trade Commission.
Chopra was notified of his firing in an email from the White House, according to a person familiar with the notice who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly

In the wake of the deadly midair collision at Reagan National Airport, it’s important that we reassess our nation’s aviation safety standards. President Trump said on Thursday that safety standards declined under Joe Biden, and let me tell you, he is right.
To illustrate this point, let’s look at his first nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Phil Washington.
During his confirmation hearing, Washington faced significant scrutiny over his lack of knowledge of essential aviation regulations. Washington struggled to provide answers to a series of basic questions that one would expect from someone nominated for the position of FAA administrator.

Changing Republican Voter Registrations

A Connecticut state mental health worker has been accused of fraudulently changing Republican voter registrations to Democrat following a September voting event.
Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services employee Arlanda Brantley, 57, faces “five counts each of Fraudulent Registration and Primary or Enrollment Violations,”(snip)
After a “national voting event” at the Western Connecticut Mental Health Network in Torrington, Connecticut on Sept. 17, Brantley allegedly changed “several” voter registration cards with an affiliation of “Republican” or “No” to “Democrat” “without the consent of the registrants.” Police said she then submitted the cards to the Torrington Registrar of Voters clerk,(snip)
Officials noticed white out on the voter registrations,
In his first hours in office, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order curtailing the practice of unlimited birthright citizenship. Many think the Fourteenth Amendment calls for citizenship for everyone born in America.(snip)
At the heart of the debate is this phrase: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
This central clause raises questions about its application for some children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants. By revisiting the original debates surrounding the amendment’s language and reviewing its implications, Trump’s call for limiting the scope of birthright citizenship appears reasonable.

Many have written about the liberal bias of PBS and NPR over the years, particularly when it relates to the news and news talk shows. Almost all media bias charts put both NPR and PBS on the left.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) receives a yearly congressional appropriation of about $575 Million. Funding for public television comes from the government (at all levels) and the private sector in roughly equal amounts. Approximately 75% of the CPB’s funding goes to public television, while 25% goes to public radio. About 70% of funding for local NPR stations comes from government sources.

f you think Deep State traitors like Paul Ryan have quietly disappeared into the sunset, think again. Sure, they’ve been exiled from the GOP—this is Trump’s party now.

A heartwarming clip of first lady Melania Trump speaking in her native language while comforting victims of the Los Angeles wildfires has gone viral, with social media users praising the sweet moment.
The video, captured by RSBN news cameras and shared on social media by Melania fan account “FLOTUS Report,” shows the first lady shaking hands and having a solemn conversation with a small group of people in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood:
Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine are hinging their opposition to the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, on their alleged concern that he is not fit to handle the pressures of the Pentagon job.
Their paragraphs-long attempts to justify why they are going against the will of their GOP voters, however, pale in the face of their voting records for a cabinet member who abandoned his post twice without notifying Congress. (snip) Both Murkowski and Collins helped Senate Democrats confirm President Joe Biden’s Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, without blinking an eye.
Attorneys for a man charged with murder in connection with the killings of four University of Idaho students are asking a judge to throw out most of the evidence in the case because they say it all hinges on an unconstitutional genetic investigation process.
Bryan Kohberger's defense team also contends that the search warrants in the case were tainted by police misconduct. They will make their arguments during a two-day hearing starting Thursday morning, part of which will be closed to the public. If they are successful, it could throw a major wrench in the prosecution's case before the trial starts in August.

The Army is refusing to name the female pilot killed aboard the military helicopter that collided with a passenger jet flying into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday.
In an announcement Friday, the Army, which disclosed the names of the two other soldiers in the chopper who died, said the woman’s family requested her identity be withheld from the public.
“At the request of the family, the name of the third Soldier will not be released at this time,” the Army Public Affairs wrote on their website.

End of ‘Cultural Awareness Months’
at Department of Defense 33 replies
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday issued guidance to the entire Department of Defense to end the practice of celebrating months tied to racial or gender identities using official resources.
He said in his guidance: “Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department’s warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force – to put one group ahead of another – erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution.”
He added:
Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events related to cultural awareness months, including National African American/Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander
Arizona State Representative Alex Kolodin called Arizona’s illegitimate Democrat governor out in a letter to her office Thursday after $339 million “disappeared” from the state budget.
Kolodin told The Gateway Pundit, “Maybe somebody’s siphoning off some funds.” He clarified, “Maybe some are mistakes. Who knows? But they don’t match up.”
This is not the first, nor the second, time Hobbs has come under scrutiny for mismanagement or corruption involving large sums of money.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, in November, Hobbs was in the spotlight after her Office of Tourism awarded a $700,000 contract to create a hideous new state logo
The Trump administration has issued a directive to ban 50 former intelligence officials, including high-profile figures like John Brennan, John Bolton, and James Clapper, from accessing secure U.S. government facilities.
This decision comes after these officials misleadingly characterized Hunter Biden’s laptop as Russian disinformation.
In 2020, it was 51 lying intelligence officials who were quarterbacked by Anthony Blinken to pull off the greatest election fraud in American history.
It was Tony Blinken who was in charge of collecting signatures from corrupt and partisan Trump-hating intelligence officials to sign off on the letter that the laptop was a Russian op.
David Lebryk, the top-ranking career U.S. Treasury Department official, will leave his post where he has been a top official for years.
Elon Musk and the DOGE team are currently examining the treasury payment systems.
Lebryk clashed with Musk over access to a “sensitive system” used to pay over $6 trillion a year in Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The results of the audit may not bode well for David Lebryk. According to Elon Musk, the payment approval officers were told to ALWAYS approve payments, even to fraudulent groups or terrorist organizations!
This decision by the US Army to withhold the name of the third member of the Black Hawk helicopter crew involved in the Reagan air disaster was never going to last. It’s the worst aviation accident in years. All 67 individuals involved perished—and the Army's initial refusal to release the name led to conspiracy theories and incidents of misidentification. There’s a balance between privacy and transparency—I get it. The family needed time to mourn, but the Army refusing to release the female pilot’s name was never a sustainable position. They finally caved and released her name tonight: Capt. Rebecca Lobach (via NY Post):
The doomed military helicopter that collided with an American Airlines flight over Washington, DC, Wednesday night was conducting training to prepare for a catastrophic event or attack on the US, according to officials.
The crew aboard the UH-60 Black Hawk chopper, the 12th Aviation Battalion, is responsible for top-secret evacuation missions meant to whisk top US officials from DC to secure locations in the case of a national emergency such as a terrorist or nuclear attack.
In a press conference on Thursday night, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the soldiers “were on a routine, annual re-training of night flights on a standard corridor for a continuity of government mission.”
The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer for threatening Supreme Court justices.
According to The Washington Post, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. is looking to scrutinize Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials.
Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump’s Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would “pay the price” for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.
I get that Pete Buttigieg had to respond: He’s a Democrat who got called out by President Donald Trump in a press conference. The president addressed the media after the tragic air disaster at Reagan National Airport on January 29, which led to the deaths of 67 people. It’s the worst aviation incident in years. Trump called out the former transportation secretary and then went on a prolonged critique of DEI initiatives under Biden, which included hiring brain-damaged people and those with mental and intellectual disabilities. The latter part is what triggered the Left, and Mayor Pete is very left-wing:
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday elected Minnesota party leader Ken Martin, who once called for President Donald Trump to be tried for treason, as its next national chair in the wake of the party's disastrous performance in the November elections.
The election of Martin is the party's first formal step to try and rebound from the November elections, in which President Donald Trump recaptured the White House, and Republicans flipped the Senate, held on to their fragile majority in the House and made major gains with working-class, minority and younger voters.
"We have one team, one team, the Democratic Party," Martin said following his victory.

Interim D.C. U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. has made a bold move, dismissing about 30 federal prosecutors involved in the Capitol riot cases. This decision, announced on Friday, signals a significant housecleaning of the top prosecutor's office in Washington, D.C., as Martin gears up to purge partisans who weaponized the Justice Department against Joe Biden’s political enemies, including Trump, pro-life activists, and others.
But he’s also taken another bold step, effectively launching an investigation into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over comments he made back in March 2020 during a #MyRightMyDecision rally outside the Supreme Court. During the rally, Schumer blatantly threatened Trump-appointed Supreme Court Justices

The shelter will be for men only (!) Curfew from 11PM to 6M. Good luck witfh that. (Laken Riley was murdered in the morning.) Just saw clip from meeting. A very diverse neighborhood is expressing its fury. Good. This potentially dangerous setup will also be supported with taxpayer funds.
