Why President Trump Fired Pam Bondi

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rumors have swirled for months about President Donald Trump firing Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi — and the president finally pulled the trigger Thursday.

Trump told Bondi Wednesday, before his big speech on Iran, that her time as AG was coming to an end. One White House official told the Daily Caller that there is no “bad blood” between the president and the AG, but that he was overall dissatisfied with her job performance.

The official added that the president had been mulling whether to fire Bondi or not for months as her mistakes added up.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche will take over in the interim, the president announced in a Truth Social post. While Blanche oversees the department, the White House official told the Caller the president is taking time to consider potential replacements, adding that there is no “urgency” to pick someone new.

A source familiar with the firing pushed back on the idea that Bondi wasn’t performing or prosecuting people quick enough. (Read more from “Why President Trump Fired Pam Bondi” HERE)

GOP Congressman Makes Hair-Raising Admission About Alien Life: ‘This Country Would Have Come Unglued’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States would become “unglued” if everyday Americans learned what the government has discovered about aliens — and they deserve to know, according to a congressman shocked by what he’s been briefed on extraterrestrial life.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a member of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said he’s long advocated for “full disclosure” despite the impact the truth could have on the public.

“The public has a right to know, dadgummit, it’s your tax dollars. Let’s get it out there,” Burchett told Newsmax.

“If they were to release the things that I’ve seen, you’d be up at night, worrying about, thinking about this stuff,” he ominously warned, adding he’s sat down with “just about every alphabet agency this is.”

Just two weeks ago, he recalled, he was briefed “on an issue” involving extraterrestrial life “that would have set the Earth on fire.”

“This country would have come unglued, I think, if they would have heard all that I heard. They would demand answers and they … need to. But, you know …unfortunately it just keeps getting covered up and covered up,” he said.

The Four Words Trump said to Pam Bondi the Day Before He Fired Her as Attorney General

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump told Attorney General Pam Bondi her time in his administration was up while the two rode from the White House to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, according to a report.

“I think it’s time,” Trump said as he and Bondi made the short ride across town to take in the oral arguments of a highly contested birthright citizenship case, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Bondi, who was sworn in as the United States Attorney General last February, allegedly asked the 79-year-old commander in chief if she could remain at her post until the summer.

Trump denied the request, according to the outlet.

The two had discussed Bondi’s tenure in the administration since the beginning of the year, as Trump seemingly expressed dissatisfaction with the speed she was moving on his agenda, the report stated.

Not one singular issue was the reasoning for Bondi’s termination, but “a steady drip of frustrations,” including the handling of the Epstein files, lack of positive news coverage directed at the DOJ, sources told the outlet.

Hegseth’s ‘Paranoia’ of Being Replaced Explains Purge of Top General — as Ally Emerges for Army Secretary’s Role

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s “paranoia” about Army Secretary Dan Driscoll taking his job fueled the firing of the Army’s top general, current and former administration officials tell The Post — as a top contender emerges to replace Driscoll if he’s canned next.

Hegseth on Thursday demanded the resignation of Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George’s — Driscoll’s top aide — in the middle of the Iran war for reasons that were not publicly stated, following months of mounting tensions with Driscoll.

“This is all driven by the insecurity and paranoia that Pete has developed since Signalgate. Unfortunately, it is stoked by some of his closest aides who should be trying to calm the waters,” an official said, referring to Hegseth’s March 2025 group chat with national security officials that inadvertently included a reporter.

Two other Army generals — Gen. David Hodne of the Army’s Transformation and Training Command and Maj. Gen. William Green of the Army’s Chaplain Corps — were dismissed in the purge, with the department only saying “it was time for a leadership change.”

“[Hegseth] has got a big conflict with Driscoll. And he’s been told by the White House he can’t fire Driscoll, at least for the moment,” a source close to the Trump administration said.

SCOTUS asks Pointed Questions as Fate of Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Hangs in the Balance

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on Wednesday in the case challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship.

Trump made history by being the first sitting president to attend a SCOTUS hearing. He attended for over an hour, departing shortly after the solicitor general, John Sauer, concluded his arguments.

Shortly after noon on Wednesday, Trump wrote in a post on social media, “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!”

Sauer previously claimed that lower-court rulings finding Trump’s executive order unconstitutional were overly broad and incorrectly held that “birth on U.S. territory confers citizenship on anyone subject to the regulatory reach of U.S. law.”

During Wednesday’s arguments, Sauer contended that the 14th Amendment phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” requires parents of a child to be domiciled in the U.S. and have allegiance to it.

Trust The Gender Science, Says SCOTUS Justice Who Doesn’t Know What A Woman Is

/0 Comments/in , /by

There are many things that D-list Broadway actress and Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson does not understand, as she will be the first to tell you. The latest item on that list, she revealed on Tuesday, is the First Amendment.

After her eight colleagues struck down Colorado’s ban on the use of talk therapy to help children overcome gender confusion, Jackson wrote a 35-page dissent — longer than the majority and concurring opinions combined — and reportedly forced everyone in the courtroom to listen as she read all 35 pages of it from the bench.

“To properly evaluate the First Amendment claim at issue in this case, one must first understand the impetus for Colorado’s regulation, what that law requires, and the nature of the speech it implicates,” she writes.

Jackson clearly does not.

Led by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the majority found that Colorado violated the speech rights of counselors like Kaley Chiles by banning them from providing talk therapy to patients who ask for help overcoming gender dysphoria and other sex-based confusion.

NASA’s Artemis II Launches On Mission Aiming To Go Further Than Man Has Gone Before

/0 Comments/in , /by

NASA’s Artemis II mission launched at 6:35 p.m. on April 1 from the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida.

The rocket and Orion spacecraft launched after the 10-minute hold was extended according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) live update page. Engineers looked into a sensor on the “launch abort system’s attitude control motor battery” that was “believed to be an instrumentation issue” that would not influence take-off, according to the space agency. A unanimous “go” was later given under the direction of Artemis II Launch Director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson.

The twin solid boosters had separated as of 6:37 p.m. and the jettison fairings that enclose the launch abort system and the service module as of 6:38 p.m., NASA said. The Space Launch System’s (SLS) main cut off was completed by 6:43 p.m. and the core stage separated from the Orion spacecraft as well as the interim cryogenic propulsion stage. The space agency said the Artemis II has begun upper-stage operations. (Read more from “NASA’s Artemis II Launches On Mission Aiming To Go Further Than Man Has Gone Before” HERE)

Patrick Bet-David, Co-Hosts Demand Israel Send More Troops Than US If Trump Launches Ground Forces In Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcaster Patrick Bet-David said on Wednesday that Israel should put as many as three soldiers on the ground in Iran for every American soldier.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak on the Iran conflict on Wednesday evening after ordering the deployment of additional Army and Marine units to the Persian Gulf region. Bet-David told co-hosts Vincent Oshara, Tom Ellsworth and Adam Sosnick what he would tell Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the episode of the PBD Podcast.

“By the way, that’s a very, that’s a very valid question, a, a very valid question,” Bet-David said. “If I’m sending my guys, you gotta send your guys. If you don’t send your guys, I’m not sending my guys. Even the most logical player cannot sit there and say, what are you talking about?”

“Even the most logical player, and by the way, even more from your end, I don’t even want it to be one for one, I don’t even want it to be one for one,” Bet-David continued. “It’s gotta be two for one, three for one, because this benefits you more than it benefits me. I know we’re partners, but it’s gotta be a two-to-one or three-to-one situation when that’s taking place.” (Read more from “Patrick Bet-David, Co-Hosts Demand Israel Send More Troops Than US If Trump Launches Ground Forces In Iran” HERE)

Pentagon Preparing for Weeks of Ground Operations in Iran — After Trump Warned Regime to ‘Get Serious’ About Peace Deal: Report

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of boots on the ground operations in Iran, a major escalation in President Trump’s goal to dismantle the remaining faction of the murderous Iranian regime, according to a report.

Thousands of US Marines would be sent to the Middle East to conduct raids that include Special Operations forces and conventional infantry troops, the Washington Post reported, citing sources.

Officials have been discussing plans for sending troops into Iran for weeks.

American military operations entered their second month on Saturday, following the US-Israel joint attacks on Iranian military facilities and officials on Feb. 28, which saw the elimination of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and approximately 40 senior leaders.

Trump has not publicly acknowledged the Pentagon’s proposal or whether he would approve any portion of the plans. (Read more from “Pentagon Preparing for Weeks of Ground Operations in Iran — After Trump Warned Regime to ‘Get Serious’ About Peace Deal: Report” HERE)
