If Presidents Can’t Control Executive
Agencies, Elections Are Fake
Posted By: Harlowe, 2/3/2025 5:46:09 PM
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.

Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose launched an online portal on Monday increasing citizens’ ability to ensure accurate voter rolls, The Federalist learned. [Snip] ...the new data webpage will give “daily updates of voter registration changes across Ohio’s 88 counties, including new registrations, updates, and removals from voter rolls.” Ohio law mandates that local election boards “generate daily snapshots of their county voter registration database and provide those snapshots to the Secretary of State’s office,” [Snip] ...citizens are encouraged to “crowdsource” information from the new online portal and use it to “report any discrepancies” to state election officials to maintain accurate voter rolls.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has written a stunning letter celebrating the re-election of Donald J. Trump as the President of the United States, seeing it as a triumph against the globalist agenda. [Snip] “For the first time after years of woke madness, a President of the United States can carry out the program for which he was elected, restoring those principles of natural law that are the basis of civil life and a well-ordered society,”... [Snip] Let us therefore begin to make this counter-revolution of common sense our own, rejecting the lies and deceptions of those who seek to subvert...Natural Law after having trampled on the Divine Law.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., pressed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to make commitments that he would not seek to profit off of drug companies or lawsuits related to them after working in the Trump administration, if he is confirmed as Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary. However, the Massachusetts Democrat herself raked in roughly $5 million from the health industry during her presidential bid in 2020. [Snip] She was given $2,366,613 by health professionals, $1,600,888 by hospitals and nursing homes, $644,499 from miscellaneous health industries and $625,580 from the pharmaceuticals and health products industry, according to OpenSecrets.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that many bishops and cardinals favor President Donald Trump but are afraid to say it publicly. In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, the former head of the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith said that he “personally prefer[s] Donald Trump to Joe Biden.” [Snip] He added that “many cardinals and bishops think like me, even if they are afraid to say so. And in the United States, the percentage is even higher.” [Snip] “And Trump will help the Church because he represents natural law values: the inviolability of life, the importance of marriage, religious freedom.”

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.
Christians Who Opposed Trump Should Examine

Their Hearts After His Week Of Big Biblical Wins 4 replies
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.
No, America Wasn’t ‘Founded’ By Immigrants

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... Vance held his own, refuting the baseless claim by noting the country was founded “by some immigrants and some settlers”... [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.
In his second inaugural address, President Donald Trump declared that the “weaponization of our Justice Department and our government will end” and that he would “re-balance” the scales of justice. He now faces an important decision: whether to investigate the founders of the lawfare campaigns against him... [Snip] Turning lawfare on its creators is not about revenge. [Snip] Justice requires a thorough investigation. Obtaining phone records and emails, reviewing White House logs, and putting witnesses under oath before Congress or a grand jury...the Justice Department should defend the constitutional rights of candidate Trump and his voters against those who abused the criminal justice system to win an election.
President Donald Trump said that the construction of an Iron Dome-like shield for the U.S. is a top priority for him on Monday, calling for "immediate" work to be done on the project before signing an executive order. [Snip] The president added that Americans "protect other countries, but we don't protect ourselves." [Snip] "And now we have phenomenal technology. You see that with Israel," Trump continued. "So I think the United States is entitled to that. And everything will be made right here in the USA 100%." "We're going next to ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world."

In 2017 it took almost three months for the White House to release an official portrait of the new First Lady who in a significant break from tradition had yet to move permanently into the executive mansion. [Snip] ...Melania is captured in an ensemble that was literally a home-office style staple during her first tenure--one worn almost daily as she went about work in the White House... [Snip] A bold, confident, disciplined and always, sharply tailored boss was the Melania that the public got today and, up until now, was a woman that only those who worked closest with her were allowed to see.
Strike a pose. That's exactly what first lady Melania Trump is doing in her new official White House portrait that was released Monday afternoon. The first lady is seen in a striking power pose--leaning slightly forward with her hands resting on a table. The black and white portrait was captured by esteemed photographer Régine Mahaux. It was taken on January 21, 2024, in the Yellow Oval Room of the White House, according to the office of the first lady.

During Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he was still at odds with President Donald Trump despite his election victory last November.
The Kentucky Republican said he still harbored ill-will for what he had alleged was Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
Partial transcript as follows:
STAHL: How would you describe your relationship with President Trump?
MCCONNELL: Well, we haven’t spoken for quite a while. I was very upset about what happened January 6.
STAHL: You had to be evacuated from the Senate along with other leaders. Your staff was in your office. The rioters
Former President Joe Biden signed with Creative Arts Agency, a rep announced on Monday, indicating that the 82-year-old may be ready to start more Hollywood ventures after leaving the White House.
Biden was previously represented by CAA after he left the vice presidency from 2017 to 2020. During that time as a client, he published his book “Promise Me, Dad,” and went on an “American Promise” tour across the country. (Photo) The former president has not specifically revealed what his life will look like in the coming years, but had said in the final days of his term that he expected his voice to continue to influence politics.
A French gynaecologist has been barred from practising for a month because he refused to examine a transgender patient on the grounds that he was only qualified to treat “real women”.
Dr Victor Acharian was accused of transphobia after he turned the patient away in August 2023, and LGBT groups lodged complaints.
In December he appeared before a disciplinary board of the French Medical Council and he has now been suspended for a month from March 1, with an additional five months’ probation.
Édouard Martial, a lawyer representing the patient, said: “We have the satisfaction of having confirmation that what happened that day was totally abnormal.”

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy openly admitted that he and his wife, First Lady Tammy Murphy, are personally harboring an illegal immigrant in their own home—practically daring federal authorities to step in.
During a recent event with Blue Wave New Jersey, Murphy nonchalantly revealed that an individual whose “immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to” is currently residing above his garage.
Murphy’s comments came during a broader discussion about the new Trump administration’s policies. While refusing to disclose specific details, the governor made his position clear:
Foreign aid to Ukraine has become a heated debate with Democrats — and a surprising number of Republicans — insisting that it’s essential for bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia. Joe Biden even went so far as to suggest that Republican resistance to additional aid played a role in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.
I could easily rattle off more quotes from Biden and congressional Democrats emphasizing just how critical they claim this aid to be. Biden was quick to make sure that Ukraine got even more aid before Trump took office.
Despite the alleged critical nature of this aid, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Republicans on Capitol Hill have largely fallen in line with Donald Trump’s move to impose tariffs on the US’s biggest trading partners, with the notable exception of the former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who called it a “bad idea”.
With even Trump admitting that the tariffs – 25% on imports from Canada and Mexico and 10% on China – might cause “some pain”, there was mostly strong support from the president’s loyalists. Jason Smith, chair of the ways and means committee of the House of Representatives, said the tariffs would “send a powerful message that the United States will no longer stand by
Dozens of Democrat leaders are reportedly struggling to find a “coherent message” to fight President Donald Trump.
The New York Times reported Sunday that, at private meetings and public events, Democrats “appear leaderless, rudderless, and divided.”
Democrats have elected Ken Martin to be their next Democrat National Committee (DNC) chair, who will conduct a post-election review largely based on tactics and messaging.
Now, the Times said after more than 50 interviews with Democrat leaders they cannot figure out what the party should stand for, what issues they should focus on, and how to confront Trump.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Senate Democrats hold a press conference attacking Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
DOGE was granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system last week, leading to Musk revealing suspect payments made by the United States government: (X) Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren attacked the access granted to Musk and DOGE on Sunday: (X)
The U.S. Agency for International Development instructed staffers not to show up for work on Monday after Elon Musk announced that he’ll use his post as the head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency to shut down the agency, a cost-cutting measure the tech billionaire says President Trump supports.
Musk has been battling the aid agency in recent days, pursuing measures to enact Trump’s sweeping changes to the federal government.
“It became apparent that it’s not an apple with a worm it in,” Musk said of USAID on X Spaces early Monday morning. “What we have is just a ball of worms.
President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he is suspending all U.S. aid to South Africa after the latter passed a law on land expropriation, which many fear could lead to Zimbabwe-style seizures of land owned by white citizens.
The president made the surprise announcement on Truth Social, his own social media platform, on Sunday evening:
(TRUTH) South Africa received $273 million from the U.S. in 2023, according to ForeignAssistance.gov. (Reuters puts the sum at $440 million.) That includes funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). South Africa also has key trade deals with the U.S.
Hollywood star Ben Stiller has spread the false claim that Elon Musk performed a “double Nazi salute” during an inaugural event for President Donald Trump last month.
In a recent interview with Kara Swisher’s podcast “On,” Ben Stiller addressed his online feud with the Tesla and SpaceX billionaire
“I know he really likes Tropic Thunder,” the actor said. “Great. Good for him. But after the Nazi salute — the double Nazi salute — I’m not just into it. Never was into it.”
The establishment news media ran with the unfounded claim that Musk performed Nazi salutes during a Trump inaugural event at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. on January 20.
Many businesses across America will be closed Monday for “A Day Without Immigrants” to protest President Donald Trump’s deportation policies.
Workers in those businesses who are participating will stay at home, CBS News reported Sunday, noting some workplaces in Minnesota were shutting down for the allotted time.“The movement highlights immigrant workers’ contributions and their everyday impact on businesses, from restaurants to retail shops,” the outlet said.
Several restaurants in Washington, DC, will also reportedly be closed for the day, and NBC Washington said the demonstration also urges immigrants to stay home from school.
In addition, several Chicago businesses are also keeping their doors closed to join the protest
