‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kash Patel, the former Department of Defense chief of staff who is reportedly on President-elect Donald Trump’s short list to be the next director of the FBI, is now sounding the alarm about the current time period before Trump is inaugurated, leaving Joe Biden and the Deep State in charge.

“Right now is, I think in my opinion, the most dangerous time, the sort of lame duck period where the president is not acting in the capability that needs to defend this nation,” Patel told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on the Fox News Channel.

“And what we need to do is have our leaders of the agencies and departments that were confirmed by the Senate show up and do their job and tell the Senate and the House of Representatives these are our failures, these are our weaknesses, we need help, we need you to respond the in this time of need. And those guys not showing up to the Hill and just deflecting their responsibility shows us how much more danger we’re in,” he continued.

“We know what President Trump’s gonna do, but he’s 54 days away from taking the oath of office. Right now, we need the United States of America to remind those agencies and department leaders that they work for us, and the mandate that President Trump was given was to protect our borders, to make sure CCP fentanyl doesn’t kill our children, to the end the forever wars, to return our hostages, and make sure American global diplomacy is in great hands when President Trump is sent to the to Oval Office on January 20th. And we must respect the will and power of Congress, I cannot stress that enough. (Read more from “‘Right Now Is the Most Dangerous Time’: Major Potential Trump Pick Sounds Alarm” HERE)

Fmr Homeland Security Sec Doubts Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Teases Ban On Executive Orders

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson cast doubt Sunday on NBC News about President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, after suggesting that presidential executive orders should be banned.

During Trump’s campaign, the former president vowed to shut down the U.S. southern border and conduct a large-scale deportation operation. On “Meet the Press,” NBC host Kristen Welker questioned Johnson about Trump’s plan, noting how he planned to continue rolling out his goals for the border after signing executive orders.

“So, first of all, somebody should pass a law banning executive orders on day one. Because the reality is executive orders drafted by transition teams without the input of the affected agency before the cabinet secretaries are even confirmed are not great ideas,” Johnson said.

Johnson went on to call out the travel ban as an example of an executive order he disagreed with and was involved in during the Obama administration, noting that Guantanamo Bay is still open. The former secretary also said Trump should start with the deportation of criminals, national security threats and recent border crossers, highlighting the “reality of enforcement” even for Trump.

Report: Feds Silent on ‘Humanitarian Flight’ Laken Riley’s Killer Got From NYC to Georgia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal officials are reportedly not saying anything regarding a “humanitarian flight” convicted killer Jose Ibarra, an illegal alien, was given in 2023.

Fox News reported on Sunday that officials would not give the outlet more information about the flight Ibarra, who was recently convicted of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley, received from New York City to Atlanta, Georgia.

Riley, who was a nursing student, was killed in Athens, Georgia, on February 22 by Ibarra after he stalked her as she jogged that morning on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus, Breitbart News reported Wednesday.

During Ibarra’s trial on Monday, prosecutors showed an image of Ibarra’s Delta Air Lines ticket going from New York to Atlanta, which was dated September 28, 2023. The Fox article continued:

FBI Special Agent Jamie Hipkiss said a photo of the boarding pass was pulled from a WhatsApp account associated with Ibarra.

Ibarra’s former roommate, Rosbeli Flores-Bello, testified on Monday that she and Ibarra — both Venezuelan nationals who connected in Queens, New York, in 2023 after meeting through a mother-in-law — went to the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan in September of that year to request a “humanitarian flight” to Atlanta. Ibarra’s brother, Diego, promised they would find work in Athens, Georgia.

Insider Confirms Dems Lining up ‘Shadow’ Government to Undermine Elected President

/12 Comments/in , , /by

An insider has confirmed Democrat plans for a “shadow” government, or “shadow cabinet,” that would have the goal of undermining America’s elected president, Donald Trump.

“You are now starting to see spots of messaging of how they plan to challenge the agenda of President-elect Trump. Last week, one-term House Member Wiley Nickel, D-N.C., in what can only be described as a Democrat fever dream, proposed a ‘shadow cabinet’ which appears to be either a desperate attempt to retain power or secure his place as a talking head on whatever is left of mainstream media,” explained Ami Sanchez, a life-long Democrat, in a commentary at Human Events.

“There are Left-wing organizations forming and a network of existing organizations picking up the ‘shadow government’ banner and calling for opposition to the agenda of Trump while making plans to defeat him before he even takes office.”
`
WND had reported earlier on plans by Nickel, who did not seek reelection and is leaving Congress, for the “shadow” operations and operatives. . .

A report at the Gateway Pundit, which reposted the Nickel comments, said, “Democrats and Trump-haters in the DC Swamp went to great lengths to hide their efforts to destroy President Trump, his family, individuals associated with his campaign, his top administration officials, and eventually, his supporters from 2016 to October 2024. This time around, Democrats apparently aren’t going to hide their plans to thwart the President and his administration.” (Read more from “Insider Confirms Dems Lining up ‘Shadow’ Government to Undermine Elected President” HERE)

Guess Who Joe Biden Just Awarded the Highest Civilian Honor To

/5 Comments/in , , /by

President Joe Biden, a “devout” Catholic, awarded the highest civilian honor a person can receive to a woman who has the blood of more than four million unborn babies on her hands.

The former president of Planned Parenthood, Cecile Richards, was given the presidential medal of freedom for her “absolute courage” and “fearless[ness],” who Biden says has “carved an inspiring legacy.”

Richards, the daughter of late Democrat Texas governor Ann Richards, spent 12 years working as Planned Parenthood’s chief; during that time, she was caught on an undercover video arranging payments for fetal tissue from aborted babies. However, the clinic has denied allegations that the video is accurate.

After the video was made public, Richards defended her job, claiming, “Our donation programs—like any other high-quality health care providers—follow all laws and ethical guidelines.”

Another Major Migrant Caravan Is Heading Straight For The U.S. Border

/7 Comments/in , /by

A new migrant caravan has formed in southern Mexico and its members are reportedly aiming to make it to the U.S. border before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office.

A roughly 1,500-person strong caravan made of mostly Central and South American migrants formed around Tapachula, Mexico several days ago and is making its way north, according to Fox 26 Houston. Fearful that they won’t be able to enter the U.S. under the upcoming administration, many of the migrants have confirmed that they hope to cross the southern border before Trump’s inauguration on Jan 20.

“It is going to be more difficult, that’s why we are going in hopes of getting an appointment quicker so we are able to cross before [Trump] takes office,” said Yotzeli Peña, a 23-year-old Venezuelan national, according to the Associated Press. “That would be easier.”

Peña is far from the first migrant to express a lack of enthusiasm for the president-elect.

Days before the Nov. 5 presidential election, migrants congregating in Tapachula — a city in southern Mexico that has served as a holding station of sorts for incoming migrants — expressed public support for Vice President Kamala Harris and disdain for Trump.

Georgia Conducted a Hand Count Audit of Its Election Results. Guess What it Found?

/8 Comments/in , , /by

You may recall a bit of a pre-election hullabaloo over Georgia’s plan to hand count votes. A judge determined that the state’s new elections rule was untenable, in a late October order: “After Georgia voters began heading to the polls Tuesday for the first day of early voting in the state, a judge enjoined election officials from moving forward with a controversial new rule that would require the hand counting of ballots when polls close on Nov. 5,” CBS News reported at the time. “Judge Robert McBurney called the rule ‘too much, too late.’ …The hand count rule and others were passed in September by the five-person State Election Board on a 3-2 vote, pushed through by a trio of supporters of former President Donald Trump. The rule would require precinct poll managers and poll officers to unseal ballot boxes and count the ballots by hand individually to ensure the tallies match the machine-counted ballot totals.”

What Georgia actually ended up doing, it seems, was to complete a post-election count-by-hand audit of the machine-counted election results — reviewing approximately three-quarters-of-a-million ballots (out of more than five million cast in the state) after the fact, to compare them to the original tallies. The results found microscopically negligible shifts in votes:

A hand-count audit of Georgia’s presidential election reported miniscule discrepancies from the machine count, confirming President-elect Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. The results of the manual review released Wednesday showed 11 more votes for Trump and six fewer for Harris out of nearly 750,000 ballots reviewed by election officials across the state. “Georgia’s election systems are our nation’s best,” Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said. “This audit shows that our system works and that our county election officials conducted a secure, accurate election — they are the cream of the crop.” The tiny difference between the two ballot counts was largely caused by human error during the hand-counting process, Raffensperger said.

Trump gained 17 net votes, a rounding error of a rounding error. His overall victory margin in the Peach State was roughly 117,000. (Read more from “Georgia Conducted a Hand Count Audit of Its Election Results. Guess What it Found?” HERE)

Chinese Agents Can Now Access Every American’s Phone Calls And Texts, GOP Senator Warns

/10 Comments/in , /by

Republican South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds warned Friday that China’s state-sponsored hackers, known as Salt Typhoon, have gained the capability to spy on millions of Americans through their mobile phones.

During an event at Halifax The Forum, Rounds revealed that hackers have infiltrated all major U.S. telecommunications firms. Rounds said these hackers have penetrated every major telecom provider in the country. He also said the Chinese Communist government is capable of reading texts and listening to conversations.

“Any one of us and every one of us today is subject to the review by the Chinese Communist government of any cell phone conversation you have with anyone in America. Because they have access to every single one of our major telecommunications companies. They have broken in. They can read your texts, and they can hear your conversations,” Rounds said. “It’s just a matter of who they want to listen to and who they don’t.”

Salt Typhoon, identified as a Chinese hacking group, has infiltrated the networks of AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, and their presence lingers, according to Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, The Washington Post reported. Warner called the breach “the worst telecom hack in our nation’s history—by far.” (Read more from “Chinese Agents Can Now Access Every American’s Phone Calls And Texts, GOP Senator Warns” HERE)
