President Trump Fires Far-left Federal
Election Commissioner Chairwoman Ellen
Weintraub — But She Refuses to Leave
Post Claiming Her Dismissal is Illegal
Posted By: Imright, 2/7/2025 8:51:22 AM
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.

Fox News' Jennifer Griffin has stepped in it again, and this time she earned a rebuke from newly-minted Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
For several years, it's been obvious that the Pentagon reporter has had it out for the modern iteration of the Republican Party. Feel free to speculate as to exactly why, but it seems to revolve around the fact that the Obama and Biden administrations were, for all intents and purposes, simply neoconservative cut-outs. A simple glance at her reporting makes it clear that Griffin believes the status quo first established under President George W. Bush is unassailable, and any attempts to change it cause her great consternation.

Order To Assess ‘Infringements’ of
Second Amendment 4 replies
President Donald Trump issued an executive order Friday “to assess any ongoing infringements” of the right to keep and bear arms.
The order began by stating the purpose and importance of the Second Amendment: The Second Amendment is an indispensable safeguard of security and liberty. It has preserved the right of the American people to protect ourselves, our families, and our freedoms since the founding of our great Nation. Because it is foundational to maintaining all other rights held by Americans, the right to keep and bear arms must not be infringed.
The order then makes clear that President Trump wants an assessment of any infringements
President Trump has ordered security clearances stripped from a new hit list of antagonists.
Just days after revoking Joe Biden’s access to classified information and secure federal buildings — “because I don’t trust him” — Trump said his new top target is ex-Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who orchestrated the “Dirty 51” letter from former intelligence officials on the eve of the 2020 election.
The infamous missive falsely claimed that Hunter Biden’s laptop, the contents of which The Post revealed, was Russian disinformation.
Blinken’s security clearances will be revoked, following the same presidential directive aimed at Biden and the 51 ex-spooks last week, Trump told The Post in an exclusive interview.
Europe is still reeling from the startling, surprising move by US President Donald J. Trump to deploy a diplomatic offensive coupled with economic sanction threats to purchase or otherwise seize the Danish island of Greenland.
Once Trump refused to rule out using the military to take control of the Arctic territory, there was widespread panic, and the Denmark Kingdom reportedly went into crisis mode.
Now it arises that some Nato countries are secretly discussing deploying troops to Greenland after Trump declared that it would be an ‘unfriendly act’ for Copenhagen to refuse to give up the island.
Germany was allegedly among the many European allies
The radical left judiciary continues to sabotage the Trump Administration’s efforts to drain the swamp.
CNN reported on Saturday that a federal judge halted Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing a critical Treasury Department. US District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer, who Barack Obama appointed, cited a risk of “irreparable harm.”
The order temporarily stops access to a sensitive payment system that distributes Americans’ tax returns, Social Security benefits, disability payments, and federal employees’ salaries.
Moreover, Engelmeyer ordered the destruction of any downloaded information from the payment system by anyone given access to it since January 20, the date Trump was inaugurated.
The Trump Administration’s dismantling of the noxious, corrupt money pit USAID continues to produce both exciting and infuriating headlines as the days go by. But one piece of lovely news that has emerged should remind us of the joy of liberal tears.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, USAID has been in the crosshairs for the past week, given the billions of dollars of waste exposed by DOGE. Some of the examples exposed have been absolutely stunning.
In one instance, the agency funneled $5 billion in 2014 to ignite riots in Ukraine, according to RFK Jr.
On the plus side, online footage has emerged showing signs are being covered up and taken down,
President Trump’s reaction to Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and her fellow Democrats’ attempt to storm the Department of Education building on Friday morning did not disappoint.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, footage emerged Friday morning showing Democrats led by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) trying to barge their way into the Department of Education building in their latest pathetic publicity stunt following other protests earlier this week.
As TGP readers know, the Trump White House on Tuesday drafted an executive order to abolish the Department of Education, a significant campaign promise by President Trump.
After officers refused to let them in, Democrats immediately melted down and began bullying the guards.
Trump Has Taken Over the Kennedy Center

Does President Donald J. Trump ever sleep? It’s refreshing since we had a non-president take naps 24/7 and let his staff push policy, legal or not. The decay and corruption of Joe Biden are being swept away. Trump is working so fast that he seems to have time to make sweeping changes to DC’s cultural scene. Besides nixing Joe Biden’s security clearance yesterday, he installed himself as chairman of the Kennedy Center Board of Directors (via Fox News):
Democrats have finally found someone they hate more than Donald Trump.
Elon Musk, who is currently running roughshod over the federal bureaucracy with a sleep-deprived team of brilliant young tech geeks, is the public enemy of the hour.
After a devastating election loss and three weeks into a whirlwind Trump administration, what most animates a leaderless Democratic Party is the collective shock and horror occasioned by Elon Musk and his handiwork.
If Trump Derangement Syndrome has abated somewhat, Musk Derangement Syndrome has arisen to fill the vacuum.
President Donald Trump fired Colleen Joy Shogan, the head of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
This is the same agency that targeted Trump over so-called “classified documents” lawfully stored at Mar-a-Lago.
“At the direction of President Trump the Archivist of the United States has been dismissed tonight. We thank Colleen Shogan for her service,” Sergio Gor, director of the Presidential Personnel Office said on Friday evening. (X) Joe Biden weaponized every agency.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed two bills Friday providing $50 million to fight President Donald Trump’s policies — after returning from a trip to Washington, DC, where he sought federal aid money for recent wildfires in his state.
Both bills were passed after a special legislative session called by Newsom after the election to prepare California to lead the opposition to the second Trump administration. Newsom and the Democrat-controlled legislature reached a deal to fund the anti-Trump effort even as the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire were still smoldering in Los Angeles.
Lindy Li, a Democrat-turned-MAGA supporter, continues her media tour, spilling her former party’s behind-the-scenes drama, which kicked off reports that top donors are furious that they collectively shelled out $2 billion and got the brakes beaten off them by Donald Trump and the Republicans. She also offered insight into the delusional world Democrats wallowed in before Election Day, where some thought Iowa was within their reach. Now, she revealed that Hunter Biden ‘commandeered’ the White House after Joe Biden got pummeled by Donald Trump in the June debate on CNN, which eventually became an election-killing event for Democrats.

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.
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,
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that Elon Musk and President Donald Trump were conducting a “rapidly expanding and accelerating coup.”
Raskin said, “If the courts move with dispatch, they might be able to prevent a lot of damage from being inflicted. But nobody should normalize what’s going on here. We’ve got the wealthiest man in the world who cannot be president because he was born in apartheid South Africa and then made his way to Canada and then to America because he can’t be president, except if he can buy himself a de facto presidency . . .
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
Big if true, as they say.
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.
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 –
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:

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.
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
