White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops

/0 Comments/in , /by

Morale around the White House is low as staffers complain they won’t get the traditional parting gift of a photo with the president, according to Politico Playbook.

It is tradition in the Biden White House that staffers, once they decide to leave the administration, get a photo with the president as a thank you for their contribution, Politico Playbook reported. But as the president has cancelled the photos for the last few months, staffers are now concerned they might not get the coveted shot despite recent changes, according to the outlet.

The Office of Management and Administration’s employee engagement team recently notified staff that they would be getting a photo on a rolling basis sometime over the next two months, but no additional guests will be allowed in the shot, according to an email obtained by Politico Playbook. This caveat upset staffers, the outlet reported, because family of staffers have typically been invited and would fly down for the occasion and a few minutes with the president.

“Instead of everyone being annoyed by no departure photos, now it’s only half of the people who are annoyed,” one current administration official told Politico Playbook. (Read more from “White House Morale Reportedly In Shambles Due To Biden Stiffing Staffers On Photo Ops” HERE)

Military Base Offers $15,000 Reward for Information on Stolen M17 Pistols

/1 Comment/in , /by

Authorities at Fort Moore, a U.S. Army base in Georgia formerly known as Fort Benning, are offering a $15,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of more than 30 missing M17 pistols, believed to have been stolen. The pistols, along with other high-value military equipment, were reported missing earlier this year, raising concerns about the potential security risk posed by the theft.

The M17, which became the Army’s official sidearm in 2017, is part of the Sig Sauer P320 platform. The Army adopted the M17 after a competitive selection process, and the pistol has since become a standard issue for U.S. forces. In addition to the missing pistols, the Army reports that other advanced military equipment, including Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVGs) and an AN/PAS 13D Thermal Optic, are also unaccounted for.

The missing firearms and equipment were first discovered in May, though the thefts could have occurred as early as March. The stolen items are considered sensitive, as they are critical to the Army’s operations and readiness.

The M17 pistol is part of a broader shift in U.S. military sidearms. In 2019, the Army officially adopted the M17 and its compact counterpart, the M18, replacing older models like the Beretta M9, which had been in service since the 1980s. Both the M17 and M18 are part of Sig Sauer’s P320 series, a modular handgun platform designed for military and law enforcement use. The M18, a variant of the M17, was later adopted by the U.S. Air Force in 2020, which began replacing its stock of Beretta M9 pistols with the M18s. The U.S. Marine Corps also started fielding the M18 around the same time.

The missing firearms at Fort Moore are raising alarms due to their potential use in criminal activity or unauthorized military operations. The $15,000 reward is part of ongoing efforts to locate the missing weapons and hold accountable those responsible for the theft.

The Army’s investigation into the incident is ongoing, and military officials are urging anyone with information to come forward. The public’s assistance could be crucial in recovering the stolen items and ensuring they do not fall into the wrong hands.

Fort Moore has not released further details about how the items were stolen or any potential suspects but is encouraging individuals with knowledge of the theft to contact military or law enforcement authorities.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to serve as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), gave “thanks to God” for his family and the success of the “MAHA movement” on Thanksgiving.

In a holiday Instagram post showing his family, Kennedy wrote, “I give thanks to God for all the extraordinary gifts of a year guided unerringly by Providence: my wife Cheryl, my children including Amaryllis without whom my campaign would have faltered”:

Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, who married Bobby Kennedy III in 2018, served as her father-in-law’s campaign director while he was still running for president, and remains a “proud steward of RFK’s movement to Make America Healthy Again.”

“I’m grateful for the campaign staff who each coalesced from their own spiritual journeys, to the generous donors, and to the thousands of volunteers and supporters who have built the MAHA movement,” the HHS nominee continued in his caption.

Vladimir Putin praised Donald Trump on Thursday as an experienced and intelligent politician – and said he does not believe the U.S. president-elect is safe after two assassination attempts.

The Russian president signaled he was open to talks with the incoming commander-in-chief as he threatened to use ‘all means of destruction’ available if the West gives nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

The Kremlin strongman also tore into how Trump and his family had been treated by his critics and called attacks on him ‘revolting’. . .

Putin cited ‘the absolutely uncivilized methods used to battle against Trump, up to and including an assassination attempt – and more than once’.

‘By the way, in my opinion, he is not safe now,’ said Putin.

He called such behavior ‘revolting’ and said in Russia not even ‘bandits’ would resort to such methods. (Read more from “Putin Issues Chilling Warning to Trump Over His Safety” HERE)

/3 Comments/in , /by

Texas received a massive win on Wednesday after the federal court of appeals ruled that the Lonestar state is allowed to construct a border wall using razor wire to keep illegal immigrants from unlawfully entering the United States. Lame-duck President Joe Biden previously ordered authorities to cut the razor wire down.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) celebrated the significant victory after the state sued the Biden-Harris Administration for damaging and interfering with Texas’ action to protect its border.

Here’s Why Mark Zuckerberg Had Dinner With Trump At Mar-a-Lago

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with President-elect Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence to seemingly brown-nose the soon-to-be commander-in-chief to reportedly be a part of Trump’s revolutionary change in the United States.

Despite lying to Congress about censoring conservatives, Zuckerberg visited Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida home on Wednesday to be a part of his “reform movement” that the incoming administration is leading.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed Trump and Zuckerberg’s meeting, saying that the Facebook founder views Trump’s second term as a chance at “national renewal” in the country. He said that although Zuckerberg has his own company and his own agenda, he “understands that President Trump is an agent of change, an agent of prosperity.”

A Meta spokesperson said that Zuckerberg was “grateful” to be invited to Mar-a-Lago for dinner to meet with Trump.

“It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation. Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration,” the spokesperson said.

Pro-Lifer Spending Thanksgiving in Prison Grateful for Opportunity: ‘A DOJ-Sponsored Mission Trip’

/5 Comments/in , /by

For only the second time in their 41-year marriage, Calvin and Trish Zastrow will be spending Thanksgiving apart. The first time was due to travel — this time it’s because Cal is serving a six-month prison sentence over a peaceful protest at a Tennessee abortion facility in 2021.

Zastrow was convicted earlier this year on FACE Act-related charges brought by the Biden administration after he prayed, sang hymns, and sat in front of the door to the entrance of an abortion facility in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. Calling from the Federal Correctional Institute Thomson in Illinois this week, Zastrow told The Daily Wire he was doing “absolutely fantastic.”

“I’m all on fire for Jesus,” he said. “I’m doing absolutely great, I’m on a big mission trip here.”

Over one month into his prison sentence, Zastrow said he has kept busy praying, reading his Bible, and teaching his fellow inmates about Christianity.

“There’s a whole lot of prodigals who are wallowing in pig mud, but they want to come back to Jesus, and so I’m here as a missionary to pull them out of that and help them get back on the Jesus road,” he said.

Democrats Scold Americans on Thanksgiving: Thank Illegal Aliens for Picking Your Food

/2 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are celebrating Thanksgiving by scolding Americans, telling them they should thank illegal aliens working on United States farms for picking their food.

“Everyone at the dinner table today, especially MAGA, please give thanks to the undocumented immigrants that picked and packed the food you’re enjoying. They deserve our grace,” Julián Castro wrote on X. “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Meanwhile, Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) made a similar statement, writing:

Join me in taking a moment to appreciate the hands that harvested the food on our Thanksgiving tables this year. Our meals wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of migrant farmworkers, farmers, and ranchers across the country. Thanksgiving doesn’t happen without them. [Emphasis added]

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) also wrote on X, “This Thanksgiving, please remember that many of the people picking our food, working in our favorite restaurants, and cleaning our hotel rooms are undocumented immigrants.”

America’s Largest DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The University of Michigan’s (UM) multi-million dollar diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program may soon be dismantled.

The university’s board of regents has reportedly asked UM president Santa Ono “to defund or restructure” the DEI office amid growing criticism and public pressure, according to emails shared on X. The board is expected to vote on the matter on Dec. 5.

“I write to share information with you about impending threats to the University of Michigan’s DEI programming and core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion,” Rebekah Modrak, faculty senate chair, wrote in an email to faculty senate members. “It has been confirmed by multiple sources that the Regents met earlier this month in a private meeting with a small subgroup of central leadership members, and among the topics discussed was the future of DEI at UM, including the possibility of defunding DEI in the next fiscal year.”

Calls for the university’s DEI program to come to a close surfaced after The New York Times exposed its failures and the vast amount of money being thrown at it. (Read more from “America’s Largest DEI Program Is About To Go Up In Flames” HERE)
