Amid the hundreds of substantive executive actions President Donald Trump has taken in his first two weeks back in the White House, perhaps none matter more than his efforts at bureaucracy-busting. [Snip] Democrats claiming Trump will “politicize” agencies by installing “loyalists” are only expressing rage that Republicans are attempting to take the keys to the unconstitutional power structure Democrats have controlled for more than a century. [Snip] ...Trump isn’t “weaponizing” or “politicizing” these agencies. He’s fighting their inherent weaponization. Firing and investigating people who abuse public power, and ending the theft of American labor to fund evil international patronage schemes--that isn’t retribution, it’s justice.

The Supreme Court has recently clarified that the Executive Branch is the President. ALL those other folks serve him, and they are NEVER 'independent'. They do what he says. Shocking to some, but this is what it was intended to be. The Legislative Branch can have nice long discussions as they legislate, as 535 representatives, but the Executive Branch does what the President says to do.

If Presidents can’t control Executive agencies, then the Constitution is meaningless.

Yes, the court has said that the President IS the Chief Executive and to be effective the CE MUST be in charge of all aspects of the Executive Branch. That also is likely to mean that laws that try to limit Executive power are unconstitutional. If the President has to come to Congress to ask permission for actions concerning the Executive branch, he is NOT the Chief Executive. The only thing that could change that would be a Constitutional amendment and I don't think the dems have one of those in their pocket. Furthermore, if the dems drag this before the court and SCOTUS decides that the dems have no standing in the Executive, they are locked into that decision, which is likely, thus barring any reclaiming their power. If they just whine about it, in some point in the future, they could try to reestablish bureaucratic control since the court would not have ruled on it and they are good at weaseling through legal cracks.

The U.S. will "take over the Gaza Strip," level it and rebuild the area, President Donald Trump said during a press conference Tuesday evening after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. [Snip] "And everybody I've spoken to--this was not a decision made lightly--everybody I've spoken to loves the idea of the United States owning that piece of land.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prepares for his Senate confirmation hearings to become the next secretary of health and human services, one issue will be impossible to avoid: abortion and abortion pills. The removal of Food and Drug Administration safety measures on the pill during Covid lockdowns, including the in-person visit and follow-up care requirement, has created significant risks for women, [Snip] By requiring medical oversight for abortion pills, the federal government would take a bipartisan step to protect women from avoidable harm. Reinstating REMS would not ban the abortion pill but ensure it is used with the same safety standards applied to other high-risk drugs.

Only 10 days into President Donald Trump’s second term it’s abundantly clear that Christians who opposed his presence in the White House and condemned their brethren for supporting it have some repenting to do. Never Trumpers spent the last decade weaponizing their faith to demonize Christian Trump supporters. By the time the 2024 election rolled around, they had proudly endorsed the radical, openly anti-Christian Joe Biden stand-in for president. [Snip] Christ-followers are indeed called to be faithful regardless of who is president. But Christians who donate to, promote, and vote for candidates who proudly assault the kingdom of God are undoubtedly complicit in that attack.

Sunday, CBS News’ Margaret Brennan tried to get one over on Vice President J.D. Vance, badgering him about immigration and claiming “this is a country founded by immigrants.” But this narrative isn’t just inaccurate, it’s a calculated lie...

[Snip] Britain began establishing the 13 original colonies in the early 1600’s. Over the next century or so, hundreds of thousands of Brits moved to the British colonies that were established by settlers--not immigrants. There was no “nation” being immigrated to by the first settlers.

The White House is preparing an executive order to eliminate the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News. President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal agency without the approval of Congress. The planned order follows years of campaign promises from Trump to abolish the federal Education Department, which was established in 1979, during President Jimmy Carter's administration. In September 2023, the then-candidate posted a video to social media saying, “One other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.”

Two employees of the authority that manages Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport were arrested over their alleged involvement in leaking surveillance footage of last week’s deadly midair aircraft collision to CNN. The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) staffers are accused of making an unauthorized copy of records and are facing charges of computer trespass, the agency said Monday. The legal trouble is tied to the chilling video obtained by CNN last week that offered a horrifying new vantage point in the crash over the Potomac River, ABC News reported.

The next time Hillary Clinton or her media allies wag a finger about “Russian interference,” remember this: Hillary Clinton’s State Department helped arm Russia with hypersonic missile technology. Yes, the same Hillary Clinton who branded Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset”. The same Hillary Clinton who pushed the Trump-Russia collusion hoax for years. The same Hillary Clinton who expects America to believe that Moscow is an existential threat. Her tenure at the State Department actively facilitated, promoted, and encouraged the transfer of dual-use technology that helped build Russia’s next-generation hypersonic missile systems. U.S. officials later sounded the alarm about Skolkovo’s military applications, but the damage was done by then. As Clinton’s State Department
