Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the number of active-duty four-star generals and admirals in the U.S. military to be cut by at least 20 percent, according to a new memo released Monday. In the order, dated May 5, Hegseth also directed senior Pentagon leadership to slash the number of general officers in the National Guard by a minimum of 20 percent, and cut the total number of general and flag officers — those with the rank of one star or higher — across the military by 10 percent.In a video posted to social media later on Monday, Hegseth announced that the order, which he referred to as “Less Generals, more GIs,”

Students on their way to classes in Queens may no longer have to run a gauntlet of prostitutes after authorities shut down a busy brothel in New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D) district – part of a neighborhood blight persistently ignored by the congresswoman, neighborhood advocates say.
The brothel, called the “bodega brothel” by locals, was operating on the second floor of a local convenience store just off Roosevelt Avenue. That particular stretch is known for prostitutes openly soliciting on sidewalks, say local leaders.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) touted President Trump’s efforts to thaw tensions with the new government in Syria, describing the move as strategically savvy, though risky.
“When the Crown Prince [of Saudi Arabia] and the president of Turkey both asked him [Trump] to give Syria, the new Syrian government, a chance, he intuitively just said, ‘Sure,’” Gingrich told hosts John Catsimatidis & Rita Cosby on the “Cats & Cosby Show” on Wednesday.Gingrich, the longtime Republican leader, noted that other presidential teams would have taken months to arrive at the same conclusion, bringing in “so-called experts” to advise the commander-in-chief to be careful, while arriving at the same conclusion.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. testified during back-to-back hearings in the House and Senate on Wednesday for the first time since his confirmation.
Kennedy faced questions on vaccines, canceled medical research and his drastic overhaul of the federal health agency during the hearings about President Trump’s budget request, which could lead to even greater cuts. Here are some key takeaways:
As the Washington DC U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented. However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.
Washington DC USAO Ed Martin carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States to investigate a weaponized DOJ/FBI apparatus. It became a serendipitous outcome.
President Trump meets with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar.
For many deep weed researchers and geopolitical followers, Qatar remains an ¹enigma. However, notice the linguistics, the English-speaking pattern of Emir al Thani. This is a man who speaks fluent ‘American’, spends a great deal of time around Americans and is completely comfortable expressing the speech patterns of his familiarity. Qatar is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood.
Qatar funds Al Jazeera.
The leaders of Hamas all lived in Qatar
When the five Islamic leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were exiled from Egypt, they fled to Qatar for safe haven.

Earlier this month, Hunter Biden dropped his lawsuit against two IRS whistleblowers who alleged there had been a cover-up in former President Biden’s DOJ to block a tax fraud investigation into the former President’s son. However, the financial sector controversies Hunter has incited, particularly with his business dealings in China, remain an ongoing topic of interest and allegedly extend far deeper than tax fraud.For example, Breitbart News has learned that PAX Global Technology Limited., a Chinese technology company under federal investigation for suspicious data transmissions and potential cyberattacks, is linked through ownership structures to Che Feng — a Chinese financier closely tied to Hunter Biden.
university report published last month shows that more than half of those who identify as being left of center on the political spectrum believe assassinating President Donald Trump would be justified. This didn’t come about organically. It’s the product of a vicious campaign waged by the Democratic Party-mainstream media axis.
According to a Rutgers Social Perception Lab-Network Contagion Research Institute brief, 55.2% of Americans on the left “reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified.” Overall, 38.5% hold the same belief.
Trump, who has survived a pair of assassination attempts (one of which was celebrated), is not the only legitimate target, say many Americans.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who represented Donald Trump during his 2024 criminal trial, has been appointed acting librarian of Congress, the Justice Department said Monday. Blanche replaces longtime librarian Carla Hayden, whom the White House fired last week amid criticism from conservatives that she was advancing a “woke” agenda.
The Associated Press obtained an internal memo from Robert Randolph Newlen, who had been serving as acting librarian, saying that Congress was “engaged” with the White House about Blanche’s appointment and that the library had not yet “received direction from Congress about how to move forward.”
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating a quasi-amnesty program for tens of thousands of migrants from Afghanistan brought to the United States by former President Joe Biden’s administration.
On Monday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Temporary Protected Status (TPS) would be terminated for Afghanistan.In 2022, after Biden had imported nearly 100,000 Afghans to the United States in the largest resettlement operation out of one country in American history, his administration offered TPS to about 75,000 Afghans, ensuring they could remain in the U.S. and secure work permits.
Get a load of the pope's brothers

It's as if God has a sense of humor.
Imagine getting elected to the 2,000-year-old Chair of St. Peter. You'd become the head of state of an unbroken succession of popes as well as the leader of the world's largest religion, one watched and followed closely by others, every word you said dissected closely. Your blessings would be sought, you'd deliver the global pieties, you'd avoid grubby politics, focusing on the tenets of your faith.
But then, you have these guys behind you, your two brothers, at least one of whom loves himself some Trump.
Will Americans soon witness President Trump’s issuance of an executive order suspending habeas corpus for criminal aliens and American enemies who have participated in an invasion against the United States, and who have chosen to remain in our country against the rule of law?
The writ of habeas corpus goes back to 500 B.C. and is a legal action which allows a prisoner to challenge the authority of the jailer to continue holding him. The legal term habeas corpus literally means “you should have the body” in Latin. This legal privilege allows incarcerated citizens to seek relief from unlawful confinement as outlined in the Suspension Clause of the U.S. Constitution:

Undisclosed communication devices reportedly discovered in Chinese-manufactured solar panels and related equipment have sparked concerns among U.S. officials about the vulnerability of the nation’s power grid, according to a Reuters report. These “rogue” devices, found over the past nine months, could potentially destabilize energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts, sources familiar with the matter told the outlet. The undocumented devices, including cellular radios, were identified in solar power inverters, batteries, electric vehicle chargers, and heat pumps produced by several Chinese suppliers.
The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued depicting an image of “8647,” but a U.S. attorney whom President Trump appointed will determine whether to prosecute Comey over the post.
If Comey refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service leading the investigation into the Instagram post can apply for a subpoena through an assistant U.S. attorney. It’s that prosecutor who will determine whether the former FBI director is legally required to answer their questions, and
Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is pulling no punches in her view of the direct threat against President Donald Trump that has been made and promoted by former FBI Director James Comey.
Speaking to Fox News, Director Gabbard outlines that there is “no way” James Comey did not know what his threat post was about. Gabbard notes the “86 47” phrase has been circulating the far-left for several months and Mr Comey is well aware what it means. Director Gabbard says in her view the former FBI director should be arrested and put behind bars. WATCH:
Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post is commiserating with wealthy restaurant owners who are trying to shield their lower-wage, illegal migrant workers from President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal migration.
“Owners or operators of four restaurants confirmed to the Washington Post that they had lost employees, whether permanently or temporarily, since DHS agents visited last week,” the newspaper reported.
“If they want to go by the [law] book, there is not many restaurants left in D.C.,” said Luis Reyes, a former illegal migrant from El Salvador who is now the co-owner of a restaurant visited by ICE. He added:
FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday announced plans to move the bureau out of its headquarters in Washington, D.C.
As part of the plan to vacate its headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building, the bureau will transfer 1,500 employees to varying locations nationwide. The building, which is located on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, has served as the FBI’s headquarters since 1975.
“This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel said during an appearance on Fox News. “We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world,
It’s becoming pretty clear that Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., desperately wants voters to forget his role in helping sink Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.
Throughout the past week, the Tarheel State’s senior senator — who is up for reelection next year — has posted a series of tweets seemingly aimed at portraying himself as a reliable ally of President Trump and his administration. From lavishing praise on Trump’s Middle East trip and “Golden Age” presidency to lauding the law enforcement efforts of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, the apparent rear-smooching campaign has been nothing short of pathetic.
James Comey will be interviewed by the US Secret Service on Friday afternoon at the Washington Field Office, according to CNN.
Comey is under investigation for calling for Trump to be killed in a cryptic Instagram post.
“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said in his caption.
“86 47” = Kill Trump
According to CNN, James Comey is not in custody. He is voluntarily going in for the interview with Secret Service.
CNN reported:
Former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be escorted by US Secret Service agents to their Washington Field Office on Friday afternoon, according to a law enforcement source.
A Wisconsin judge pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges that she helped an illegal immigrant evade federal authorities.
Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was indicted by a federal grand jury earlier this week on charges of obstruction and and concealing a person of arrest, for which she faces up to six years in prison if convicted. The Trump administration has defended its prosecution against Dugan, asserting that nobody is above the law.
“Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court,” her attorneys said Tuesday. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has temporarily removed Dugan from her post with the case pending.

The agenda behind Zelenskyy and his handlers is very clear, the EU need to keep distance between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin; so, they keep playing the narrative game around the pretense of a ‘ceasefire.’
Using his Twitter account today, the vertically challenged EU members led by Volodymyr Zelenskyy note, “if the Russians reject a full and unconditional ceasefire and an end to killings, tough sanctions must follow. Pressure on Russia must be maintained until Russia is ready to end the war.”The picture Zelenskyy presents of Donald Tusk (Poland), Zelenskyy, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (UK) and Friedrich Merz (Germany), represents his “coalition of the willing.”

A formal letter has just been sent to Secret Service Director Sean Curran and FBI Director Kash Patel, calling for an immediate joint investigation into James Comey after he posted a disturbing message on social media using the phrase “86” in reference to President Trump.(snip)
The letter demands a full probe into potential violations of federal law, including 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the President) and 18 U.S.C. § 875 (interstate threats). It also presses for answers on whether Comey still holds a security clearance or has access to classified material.
The same Left that spent years crying about “stochastic terrorism” is silent now.
Will the Supreme Court stop radicals in robes from subverting the president and imperiling the separation of powers via rule by universal injunction?
Or will it continue allowing any one of 680 district court judges to nullify the votes of tens of millions of Americans by hamstringing the commander in chief with rulings infringing upon his powers to pursue policy and pick personnel?
These questions loomed over the Supreme Court on Thursday, as justices heard oral arguments in cases challenging the president’s executive order curtailing birthright citizenship. Those arguments suggest we could be looking at a 5-4 decision hinging on Chief Justice John Roberts — one that could make or break Trump’s
A Wednesday New York Post headline momentarily deceives those inclined to optimism. It reads, “Gov. Tim Walz feeds rumor mill about Derek Chauvin pardon, despite Trump saying he knows nothing about it.” That optimist might think that the Minnesota governor was moved to reconsider Chauvin’s fate, the inspiration being a recent judicial order issued by Hennepin County Judge Edward Wahl. The ruling followed a defamation suit brought by Assistant Minneapolis Police Chief Katie Blackwell.
Blackwell sued Liz Collin of Alpha News and the other parties responsible for her book, They’re Lying: The Media, The Left, And the Death of George Floyd,
