Former USAID Administrator Samantha Power
Appears on CBS Late Night to Defend Institutional Interests
Posted By: 4250Luis, 2/6/2025 4:41:50 PM
Former USAID Administrator Samantha Power, the architect of the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine (R2P) traveled to CBS HQ in New York for a late-night television appearance with Stephen Colbert. The purpose of Power’s appearance was to defend the institutional interests of her former agency, as USAID comes under scrutiny for ridiculous spending and manipulation of foreign and domestic politics. Mrs. Power does her very best Sally Stuthers impersonation as she claims the only purpose of USAID is to facilitate charity and life-saving public health in “underserved nations” around the world.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has a clear lead in the Democratic primary for the New York City mayoral race this year before he’s entered the contest, according to a poll released Friday.
Cuomo, who has not confirmed that he is running but appears likely to join the race as soon as this month, is in front of the Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill poll with 33 percent of the vote. Embattled incumbent Mayor Eric AdamsThe results are in line with a few other polls that have shown Cuomo likely to be an early front-runner in the race as Adams seeks a second term.
Democrats held three press conferences just this week alone fretting over DOGE potentially having more oversight capability into the federal government. But that’s three more press conferences than they’ve ever held in response to China’s cyberattacks that infiltrated our systems and actually stole sensitive data.
Democrat members of the House Ways and Means Committee held a press conference attacking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for being granted read-only access to the Treasury Department’s payment system. Senate Democrats also held a similar press briefing, calling DOGE’s oversight a “hostile takeover of the Treasury Department.”
President Trump announced Friday that he is “immediately revoking” former President Joe Biden’s security clearances and access to daily intelligence briefings – telling The Post he doesn’t “trust” his predecessor with such sensitive information.
Trump, 78, argued in a Truth Social post that the former president set the precedent when he barred him from receiving access to the same briefings four years ago, citing Trump’s “erratic behavior.”
“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information,” Trump wrote.“Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings,” the president continued.
China's Spies Move to Cuba

The Chinese military is firmly embedded in a country not far from Key West, Florida. Forget Europe or the hotspots of East Asia and the Middle East, Marco Rubio's first foreign trip as secretary of state took him to one Caribbean and four Central American states. The tour tells us that the Trump foreign policy is focusing on the region closest to the America
At the moment, Cuba needs Chinese cash and might therefore accede to granting China greater access to the island.
[Secretary of State Marco] Rubio, however, is focused on the Caribbean basin, as the itinerary for his first trip shows.
Norm Eisen, the founder of multiple anti-Trump groups that participated in at least four lawfare attempts to throw Trump off the ballot or in jail during his 2024 presidential candidacy, is now running an op against Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel.
Eisen co-authored a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Dick Durbin on Monday, demanding the committee grill Patel on two issues Eisen portrayed as “ethics” concerns. Eisen claimed Patel “was issued 25,946 shares”

As Judge Puts Brakes on 'Fork in the Road' Buyout 13 replies
Employees of the federal government who have been waffling about whether or not to take the "Fork in the Road" buyout offer from the Trump administration have been given the gift of some breathing room, courtesy of U.S. District Judge George O'Toole, a Clinton appointee.With the midnight Thursday decision deadline looming for millions of federal workers, O'Toole hit the brakes and scheduled a hearing for Monday during which he'll consider blocking the buyout offer altogether.

The data is coming in so hot and fast today that it's all I can do not to fall behind too much, but the numbers all tell the same story: the Mainstream Legacy Media is a bought-and-paid-for arm of the Deep State. So while I was busy researching how more than $8 million in tax money went to Politico......you did see that story, didn't you?
If not, here's the gistPolitico's financials aren't public. I found estimates today that its 2023 revenues were as high as $400-plus million and as low as $7 million. Whatever the case, nobody, and I mean nobody forgets who paid it $8 million in subscription fees.
USAID Pays the Terrorists Who Kill Us

It seems shocking that a government entity that has the word "aid" in its acronym would ever be accused of doing dirty tricks and worse against the friends and foes of the U.S., much less be defanged or shut down by Donald Trump. For the world's lefties this defanging is unthinkable. But now, we're finding out all kinds of skullduggery attributed to our color revolutionistas at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Victoria Nuland, and Samantha Power and their kindred through the years. And color revolution coups have been their specialty. See Ukraine 2014.
During a Fox News interview, Senator Lindsey Graham says he is a yes on RFK Jr, Kash Patel and now Tulsi Gabbard, specifically because the latter has now assured him, she will support FISA-702 warrantless searches of U.S. citizen communication. Senator Graham states falsely the 702 authorities only pertain to foreign nationals Remember what I said about Kash Patel being the firewall selected by the Senate to make the American people drop their pitchforks and torches? Listen to Senator Graham through that protective prism and you can hear exactly that approach.
In December of 2016 when we discussed the possibility of President Trump’s then new and unique tariff approach, we predicted negligible impact – if any at all. It was a theory at the time, but predicated on the looming possibility that impacted nations would inevitably devalue their currency. It was the currency devaluation, in combination with directed subsidies, that would offset any tariff impact to U.S. consumers. By the time we got to December 2019, we were no longer discussing theory. Deflation due to currency devaluation, subsidy and a rising dollar actually became reality.

How Trump is Already Cleaning up Ukraine

Below are translations of excerpts from three recent videos from three of my favorite Ukrainian bloggers, who talk about how leftist Ukrainian wolves in sheep’s clothing are in panic mode thanks to recent actions by Trump (use YouTube translate for subtitles but be aware that it often makes mistakes). I have the impression that Americans are not hearing what they are saying. I’ve spent a year in Ukraine during the war (after seven years in Russia) and I understand the language. My income (and ego) does not depend on pushing lies about Ukraine.

David Hogg, the new vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), has had enough of Elon Musk’s ceaseless efforts to drain the swamp in Washington, DC, and restore accountability to those who have stewardship of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
He took to social media on Friday to decry Musk and point to the man he wants to replace him. Step forward former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The DNC elected Hogg as vice chair this past weekend, lauding the 24-year-old as “one of the most compelling voices” of his generation.
Elon Musk’s DOGE team entered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau headquarters on Friday – and staffers are p***** off!
“Elon Musk’s team on Friday entered the headquarters of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Friday, sources tell us,” Politico reported.
According to Politico, at least 3 of Elon Musk’s DOGE workers are now “senior advisors” in the staff directory at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
“Three Musk allies are listed as “senior advisers” in the staff directory

The Trump administration is considering three potential areas for the absorption of refugee Gazans after President Donald Trump announced that the US plans to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate those currently there to rebuild the area, N12 reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the areas being considered are Morocco, Puntland, and Somaliland.
The report noted that what these three countries share in common is a strong need for US support, as Somaliland and Puntland seek international recognition, and Morocco has an ongoing territorial dispute over Western Sahara.
Somaliland has been looking for recognition as an independent country.
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) joined a mob of dozens of House Democrats in harassing a Department of Education (DOE) employee who was tasked with blocking them from storming into the building on Friday.
In response to possible cuts to the DOE, around 30 Democrat members arrived at the department’s Washington, D.C. headquarters on Friday morning to demand a meeting with acting Sec. Denise L. Carter, but were stopped by a security staffer, Fox News reported. Dramatic footage captured by Newsmax cameras shows Waters, 86, yelling at the federal employee who was just doing his job:

In a decisive move to cleanse the swamp of bureaucratic resistance, President Donald Trump has officially fired Democrat Ellen Weintraub, the long-standing Commissioner and Chair of the U.S. Federal Election Commission (FEC).
Yet, in a display of blatant disrespect for the President’s authority, Weintraub has dug in her heels, refusing to vacate her position, claiming her dismissal is somehow illegal.
Weintraub was elected as chair last December 2024.
FEC commissioners are appointed to six-year terms by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
In a tit-for-tat move, President Donald Trump revoked former President Joe Biden's security clearance. Trump announced his plans to do so on Truth Social, saying "we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings."
In 2021, shortly after taking office, Biden had revoked Trump's security clearance. Former presidents typically retain their security clearance as those in the very small club of past presidents have a unique perspective on domestic and global matters as well as on the rarified position that they each have held. "There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information," Trump said,
A Tesla dealership in Northern Colorado was roped off by Loveland police on Friday after reports of vandalism. Photos and video taken at the dealership showed several Cybertrucks and other Teslas with red spray paint across the windshields and broken glass in the lot. The Loveland Police Department said it's investigating the incident at 1606 North Lincoln Avenue as an act of vandalism and attempted arson that occurred around midnight on Thursday night or Friday morning. In addition to the spray paint and broken glass, the windows of the dealership had spray paint that read "NAZI CARS." "Various vehicles and
Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) suggested the House Oversight Committee consider bringing in therapy dogs to help Democrats cope during a hearing on Wednesday. And wouldn't you know it? Thursday's hearing featured some adorable pups.
Not strictly for the reasons one might think.
Mr. Crane, during a hearing on 'Rightsizing Government,' noticed that his Democrat colleagues had become a little verklempt over the idea that Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team have been making efforts to slash government waste and fraud.
In fact, earlier in the hearing, the resistance party tried to catch GOP lawmakers off guard by calling for a vote to subpoena Musk.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) plans to ban the use of plants within five feet of residential homes in what are designated as “fire-prone” areas — which could include much of the state of California, given the recent wildfires.
Newsom, who has lagged far behind his goals on wildfire prevention, appeared on CNN to tell homeowners that “you can’t rebuild the same,” and that residents would have to rebuild according to “science” and “climate reality.”
In a bombshell revelation that could shake the foundations of American healthcare, Elon Musk, leading the charge under President Trump’s newly minted Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has uncovered what he describes as a staggering “$100B of taxpayer money” wasted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
On Wednesday, Musk’s team, along with two senior veterans from the agency, has been meticulously reviewing the CMS’s payment and contracting systems, which are crucial for managing health insurance for approximately one in every four Americans, according to far-left USA Today.
“CMS has two senior Agency veterans – one focused on policy and one focused on operations –
East Hampton government officials are trying to quell wealthy residents’ fears that local police could deport illegal migrants from the tony town — many of whom work as maids, landscapers, and nannies to support the luxurious lifestyles of the well-off locals.
Village and town leaders held a special community meeting on Tuesday to assure citizens of Long Island’s exclusive nabe — where the median property value is $2 million — that their hired help are not on their radar when it comes to deportation.
East Hampton Village Police Chief Jeffrey Erickson stressed that local law enforcement do not have authority to enforce federal law —

It seems that failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is a glutton for punishment. Clinton on Thursday slammed Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for enlisting the aid of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to help fix America’s aviation problems.[Snip]This time, Duffy removed the gloves.“I know you’re lashing out because DOGE is uncovering your family’s obscene grifting via USAID, but I won’t let you lie and distort facts,” the Transportation Secretary wrote. “The FAA administrator announced he resigned over a month before Trump took office, and the air traffic controllers were always exempt from Trump’s civil service buyouts.”
