Posted By: Imright, 1/22/2025 1:42:04 AM
The Trump administration has reportedly reassigned more than a dozen career Justice Department officials, including one who played a central role in pushing for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago. The new assignments – given to at least 15 longtime officials – will see the federal employees remain within DOJ but in the roles where they are expected to wield less influence on the department’s major decision, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday. Some officials were notified they were being transferred just hours after President Trump was sworn-in on Monday, according to the outlet.

Trump calls on Putin to make a deal, end

its war against Ukraine or face more economic pressure 1 reply
President Donald Trump called for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war as part of his first sit-down interview since returning to the White House, saying Russian President Vladimir Putin should never have launched his full-scale invasion in 2022.
Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity an estimated 850,000 Russian soldiers and 700,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since the onset of the war.
"These are human beings that are just being slaughtered on this battlefield by the millions. They've already died, and the cities — the cities are like demolition sites," he said in an interview that aired Thursday on "Hannity."
It's been a whirlwind of a week over January 6 and the select committee of all Democratically-appointed members who were supposed to investigate the events of that day. On Monday, outgoing President Joe Biden issued several preemptive pardons, including for members of that select committee, even though at least one such member, now Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) didn't think it was the greatest idea. Later that same day, upon taking office, President Donald Trump issued pardons for the January 6 defendants. Now, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced on Wednesday, there's to be a new select committee.
Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg accused President Trump of using slain President John F. Kennedy as a “political prop,” when the commander in chief issued an order Thursday to declassify files tied to his grandfather’s murder Thursday.
The 31-year-old grandson of the 35th president took to social media to brush aside the bombshell announcement Trump made about long-held government secrets tied to JFK’s assassination, Schlossberg’s great uncle Robert F. Kennedy’s slaying and Martin Luther King’s murder from decades ago. (Photo) “JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is alot [sic] sadder than the myth – a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,” Schlossberg tweeted. “Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.”
Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam and Chicago local Terry Newsome of the Behind Enemy Lines podcast brought the fire to a press conference earlier where Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson attacked President Trump’s plan to fight back against sanctuary cities and illegal aliens.
During the presser at a West Side lighting manufacturing plant, Pritzker and Johnson reportedly preached about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and pledged to fight off Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
This comes in response to President Trump’s recent Executive Actions to secure the border and abolish wasteful DEI programs
Texas Governor Greg Abbott called on Congress to reimburse the State for more than $11.1 billion spent on border security. The governor said Texas taxpayers footed the bill for border security “due to the Biden Administration’s refusal to do its job for the last four years.”
“President Biden’s policies left Texas and the rest of America defenseless against an unprecedented infiltration of violent criminals, known terrorists, and other hostile foreign actors, like the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua,” Abbott’s letter reads. “I launched Operation Lone Star (OLS) to combat these threats to all Americans. Over the past four years, OLS efforts successfully reduced illegal immigration into Texas by 87%,
As Beege would say, call the WAAHMUBULANCE! According to ABC News, "medical and legal experts" are complaining that The Science™ contradicts President Trump's Executive Order that defines sex as dimorphic rather than open-ended. Trump did a no-no: he asserted that the term "woman" has an actual definition and isn't some vague, undefined thing with changing definitions. (X)
Perhaps, ABC, this is why Americans no longer trust experts.
On his first day back in office on Monday, President Trump issued an executive order declaring that the U.S. government would only recognize a person's sex assigned at birth, limit the definition of a "male" or "female"

Update:
Superintendent Margo Empen provided Townhall with an email statement explaining the district was "made aware yesterday afternoon by parents/community members that a teacher in our district had posted a message to his personal Facebook page, outside of working hours."When the District receives concerns about an employee, the matter is promptly investigated.

New York State has 670,000 residents who are illegal migrants – including 42,300 undocumented restaurant employees and 48,500 undocumented construction workers, an eye-opening report released Thursday said.
The report from the liberal-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute revealed an underground economy of migrant workers in the Empire State, where 1.8 million residents are non-citizens that may also include green card holders.
In total, there are 4.5 million foreign-born residents of the state, the report said. (Photo)
The data in the report — released as President Trump vows a crackdown on illegal immigration — revealed:
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman on Thursday deputized agents and officers at the Justice Department to help in making immigration arrests, creating a force multiplier as President Trump seeks to carry out his promise of mass deportations.
Mr. Huffman signed a directive granting immigration investigation and arrest powers to the U.S. Marshals Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Prisons and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
“Mobilizing these law enforcement officials will help fulfill President Trump’s promise to the American people to carry out mass deportations,” Mr. Huffman said.
Vice President JD Vance will speak at the 52nd annual March for Life on Friday in Washington, D.C., the group announced Thursday, marking his first public appearance as VP. “We are thrilled that Vice President Vance has chosen the National March for Life for his first public appearance in his new role – a sign of his commitment to standing up for life,” Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life and Jennie Bradley Lichter, President Elect of March for Life said in a statement. “President Trump governed as a pro-life president during his first term which resulted in a long list of accomplishments.
Trump’s incoming Secret Service Director Sean Curran is expected to clean house on his first day on the job, according to Real Clear Politics.
“On incoming Secret Service Director Sean Curran’s first day in the new role, 5-10 senior leadership officials, including former Director Ron Rowe, were warned that they would either be fired, moved, or pressed into retirement, according to three sources in the Secret Service community,” RCP reporter Susan Crabtree said on Thursday.
President Trump on Wednesday announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director.
President Donald Trump’s newly confirmed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, John Ratcliffe, told Breitbart News exclusively that he views his mission as restoring the world’s most preeminent intelligence agency to its core primary objectives and undoing the lasting damage that one of his predecessors, John Brennan, did to the CIA.
“It would be fair to say his tenure was one of the worst things that has ever happened to the Agency,” Ratcliffe told Breitbart News of Brennan on Thursday in his first interview as CIA director. Ratcliffe, who served as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in Trump’s first term, was just confirmed Thursday afternoon as Trump’s new director of the CIA

Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is urging civil disobedience against Donald Trump’s slew of executive orders.
Since taking office on Monday, Trump has signed a slew of executive orders targeting everything from immigration and the border all the way through to ending DEI and dismantling the deep state.
In one of her regular live stream videos in which she lays out the roadmap to a socialist America, the New York Congresswoman urged people to simply ignore or disobey executive orders signed by the president.
She explained:
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats.
When asked about the J6 pardons, Murphy said, “I mean, let’s let’s really talk about who he let out of prison this week, who walked out of prison. The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived in Washington that day there will be blood.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is still trying to process her election loss to Donald Trump. And she's seeking counsel from the only source who can vaguely relate to the humiliation — Hillary Clinton.
While the two share the struggle of coming to terms with spectacular defeats in their own rights, it's clear Harris, at least, is still eyeing a political future. Perhaps even the presidency.
On that, there is little surprise. Reports have already surfaced indicating Harris has been actively instructing her advisers and allies to keep her political options open. That includes the possibility of a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the governorship in California in 2026.
It looks like the woke bishop who tried and failed to humiliate President Trump has some explaining to do.
Bishop Marianne Budde made headlines when she went on a gaslighting LGBTQ diatribe at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday.
President Trump and First Lady Melania along with J.D. Vance, wife Usha, and family members were in attendance and graciously stomached the lecture from Budde.
Now it seems, there’s more to the story, according to Townhall columnist and “Minnesota GOP hype man” Dustin Grage.
“This chick was at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis for almost two decades,” Grage said on X. “Guess who was in charge of the planning for inauguration? Senator Amy Klobuchar.
As you know, President Trump kept one of his biggest promises: he pardoned all the January 6th political prisoners on day one. That’s the good news. The bad news is that reports suggest that some of these prisoners still haven’t been released, despite the fact that a presidential pardon is absolute and immediate.(snip)Now, more rumors are swirling. This time, we’re hearing unconfirmed reports that DC jail guards—suspected of abusing and beating January 6th prisoners—are in full-blown panic mode. According to the rumors, these terrified guards are worried their actions against J6 American citizens will come to light and force them to face justice.
In Shocking, Completely Unexpected Twist,

Karine Jean-Pierre Blames Racism for Her Failures 18 replies
In perhaps the most shocking, least expected twist of the last decade, Karine Jean-Pierre, the first "black, queer, immigrant" to hold the role of White House press secretary, has figured out why she faced so much criticism on the job. You didn't guess it because it's a move that no one could have foreseen, but she's...playing the race card.
Vanity Fair is out with a new profile of Jean-Pierre (written by Jean-Pierre herself) because I guess they think Americans are dying for more information on the worst press secretary in presidential history. In it, she claims she faced unique hardships because of her race, sexual orientation, and immigration history.

first Republican to oppose a Trump Cabinet pick 18 replies
Sen. Lisa Murkowski announced Thursday that she will vote against confirming Pete Hegseth to lead the Pentagon, becoming the first Republican to oppose one of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks ahead of a crucial test vote.
Murkowski, of Alaska, said in a lengthy statement that allegations of excessive drinking and aggressive actions toward women, which Hegseth has denied, show that his behaviors “starkly contrast” with what is expected of the U.S. military. She also noted his past statements that women should not fill military combat roles.
“I remain concerned about the message that confirming Mr. Hegseth sends to women currently serving and those aspiring to join,” Murkowski wrote on social media.
Things may not be as rosy behind the scenes as Kamala Harris tried to project while watching President Donald Trump be sworn in on Monday. Sitting next to her husband, the former vice president put on a good face, but according to a new report, Doug Emhoff is now drawing ire.
As RedState reported, Emhoff was at the center of multiple scandals during the ill-fated Harris campaign. Those include him committing adultery and getting his family's nanny pregnant as well as heavily corroborated allegation that he slapped an ex-girlfriend in public while drunk. Notably, Harris refused to address either situation, and Emhoff himself never denied either of them,
Former CIA Director John Brennan whined Tuesday about President Trump pulling security clearances for 51 ex-intelligence officials including him — all of whom claimed in an infamous letter that The Post’s bombshell scoop on Hunter Biden’s laptop emails in 2020 was part of a “Russian information operation.” “He misrepresented the facts in that executive order because it said that we had suggested that the Hunter Biden laptop story was Russian disinformation,” Brennan griped to MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell.
For the first time in history, a male actor has been nominated for the “Best Actress” Oscar for this year’s annual Academy Awards.
“Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón is a man who claims to be a “transgender woman.”
When the Academy Awards committee announced the nominees on Thursday morning, he became the first man in history to be nominated for a women’s Oscar.
Pardoned former Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio flew into his home city of Miami Wednesday harboring a message of revenge in his heart for those who had him jailed over the storming of the Capitol.
Tarrio, 40, was emotionally reunited with 60-year-old mother Zuny at the international airport after President Trump made his release along with other January 6 convicts one of his first executive order actions on assuming office.
But after being let out of a medium-security federal prison in Pollock, Louisiana, the far-right activist went on arch conspiracy theorist Alex Jones's Infowars podcast and vowed payback to the January 6 Committee –
