During presidential campaigns, candidates are typically briefed by the nation's security agencies on critical matters they could face if they win the election. However, this week former President Donald Trump announced that he would refuse to take part in these standard intelligence briefings for candidates.

Comments:

It looks like Trump is wise to the ways of the Deep State so they'll have to find another way to trap him this time around.

Praying that the Lord will continue to give President Trump wisdom and discernment, as well as safety.

This article begs a follow up question- Why are former presidents getting these briefings? Clinton, Bush, and especially Obama have done more to destroy our country and have made millions giving speeches paid for by our enemies and lobbyists. This intelligence briefings to these domestic enemies of our freedoms must stop.

When PDT becomes POTUS, will he deny these briefings to the former presidents? I would not trust the former presidents. Only clue them in if it is a matter for them personally. (ie Martha's Vineyard is being bombed)

Don't you think this so called debate is also a trap? ABC has given Harris all the questions weeks ago. That's one of the reasons she won't go to FOX news for another debate.

I was a bit concerned that he wouldn't be up on what he needs to know when he takes office, but never mind. He wont be anyway. The intel community will lie or hide truth regardless of the damage it might do. I swear the Soviet Union did less damage to us.

I see no reason to give former Presidents security briefings. If, for some reason, a current President wants advise from one of them, on a a particular situation then a briefing relating to that situation would be useful. There is another security issue that truly galls me. That former intel personnel or former Presidential staff retain their security clearance after leaving government employ. As an example Brennen and his ilk are still able to access certain classified information because they still have a clearance. When the job is over, pull the damn clearance. If for some unknown reason they are re-hired then reinstate the clearance. Simple as that and we don't have these fellow travelers screwing up more things.

Giving Barry Sotero, and thus Valerie Jarrett, John Brennan, Susan Rice & Eric Holder any national security information is really stupid.

Outrage is boiling over after revelations that the Santa Ynez Reservoir, a critical water source in Pacific Palisades, was empty and offline when a devastating wildfire ripped through the area. The Los Angeles Times reported that despite the reservoir’s critical role in the city’s water infrastructure, it had been offline for nearly a year. The Santa Ynez Reservoir, with a capacity of 117 million gallons, could have played a critical role in providing water pressure to firefighters battling the devastating fire that destroyed thousands of homes and buildings in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Malibu.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who will now be forever known as the weirdo who ran with Kamala Harris in 2024 and failed, is now endorsing gun control activist David Hogg in his bid to be vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. The 2024 election showed that Democrats have a serious problem with men, who are fleeing their party in droves. It’s not clear how having David Hogg in a leadership position would do anything to help fix this problem for them. None of that seems to matter to Walz, who believes Hogg will provide the ‘courageous leadership our party needs right now.’

Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley was fired by Mayor Karen Bass on Friday afternoon, a source close to the chief’s office told DailyMail.com. ‘Kristin was summoned by Bass this afternoon, about 4pm. She came back from that meeting, hugged her staff goodbye and left. She said she was fired,’ the source said. The alleged booting follows Crowley lashing out against the Mayor’s cuts to her department, in an interview with a local Fox TV station around 12pm Friday. ‘My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded,’ the Chief said. ‘It’s not.’ ‘Did they fail you?’ Fox LA’s Gigi Graciette asked. ‘Yes,’ Crowley replied.

In tears, actor James Woods detailed the moment he learned his Pacific Palisades home burned in the Southern California fires that continue to devastate parts of Los Angeles in an interview with CNN Wednesday morning. "One day you’re swimming in the pool and the next day it’s all gone," Woods told anchor Pamela Brown on Wednesday while repeatedly choking up. Woods then recounted his evacuation and how he helped rescue his 94-year-old neighbor, who has dementia. "He’d been left alone," Woods added. "There was so much chaos, it was like an inferno. Every house was on fire around us." (X) Keith Olbermann is glad. But not because Woods saved an elderly man

I was surprised, if not shocked, when two A-list celebrities, country singers Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood, took the microphones at the State Funeral for Jimmy Carter yesterday and began performing “Imagine,” written by former Beatle John Lennon in 1971. The song is widely described as an “atheistic anthem” and incredibly is said to be one of the late 39th president’s favorite songs. "Imagine there’s no heaven It’s easy if you try. No hell below us Above us, only sky. . . Imagine all the people Livin’ for today Ah Imagine there’s no countries It isn’t hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too" To me, it sounds like a globalist woke anthem

President Joe Biden ruled out the idea of pardoning himself, explaining he had not thought of pardoning himself because he “didn’t do anything wrong.” During a press conference at the White House, Biden was asked if he had “ruled out” issuing a pardon for himself or “any other additional members” of his family. In December, Biden issued a “full and unconditional pardon” of his son, Hunter Biden, regarding “offenses against the United States which he has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” “Have you ruled out a pardon for yourself or any other additional members of the family?”

The notoriously political Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. That’s it. That’s the sum of motive and intent. To create a narrative. That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. Few people care about the issues and the entire case is likely to be thrown out on a host of appeal reasonings.

The new CEO of a New Jersey government investigative commission is resigning after it was reported she lives in another state and has another job. A story from Asbury Park Press says State Investigations Commission CEO Tiffany Williams Brewer only shows up to work once, maybe twice a week. Her primary address is in Maryland, and she works at Howard University three days a week. Williams Brewer was named acting CEO after former Chief Chadd Lackey died in a car accident last year. On Jan. 1, she ditched the acting title and her salary increased from $175,000 to $210,000 — more than Lackey was making.
