Chris Stigall: The Most Offensive Part of the Signal Leak Is Grown Men Using Emojis

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” “Chris Stigall Show” host Chris Stigall discussed the Trump administration’s Signal chat.

Stigall began by stating that the Biden administration made numerous mistakes like Afghanistan, the Chinese spy balloon, and the military vaccine mandate and that then-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley had backdoor conversations with China and noted that then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin didn’t tell anyone when he was absent due to his hospitalization and his staff requested that the ambulance come pick him up in a secretive way.

Trump Admin Cuts off Water to Mexico Over Failure to Comply With 1944 Treaty

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has nailed Mexico over the country’s failure to comply with a water treaty made in 1944, according to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Cruz has been demanding that Mexico meet its water supply obligations, but it took the Trump administration to finally take action to protect the rights of farmers near the Rio Grande.

A statement from the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs on Thursday said that the U.S. was responding to Mexico’s failure to comply by cutting off water to Tijuana, a city bordering California.

“Mexico’s continued shortfalls in its water deliveries under the 1944 water-sharing treaty are decimating American agriculture — particularly farmers in the Rio Grande valley,” the bureau said. “As a result, today for the first time, the U.S. will deny Mexico’s non-treaty request for a special delivery channel for Colorado River water to be delivered to Tijuana.”

Cruz applauded the decision in a statement on social media.

“Excellent. As I said yesterday, this option is absolutely what the Trump administration needs to pressure Mexico to fulfill its obligations under the 1944 Water Treaty,” he replied. (Read more from “Trump Admin Cuts off Water to Mexico Over Failure to Comply With 1944 Treaty” HERE)

Judge Orders Trump to Reinstate Probationary Employees

/27 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to bring back thousands of fired probationary employees, saying their ousters were illegal.

U.S. District Judge William Alsup, a Clinton appointee who sits in California, said the Office of Personnel Management had no authority to direct other agencies to fire the employees.

“It is sad, a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that’s a lie,” the judge said in ruling from the bench. . .

Probationary employees have been on the job for less than a year, or less than two years at some posts. Trump officials said they were easy targets because they hadn’t built years of experience critical to their agencies and, as probationary employees, lacked full civil service protection.

OPM issued a memo telling departments to review their lists of probationary employees and decide which to keep. Departments then carried out waves of firings. (Read more from “Judge Orders Trump to Reinstate Probationary Employees” HERE)

Trump Admin to Deport Foreigners Who Come to American Universities and Shill for Terrorists

/54 Comments/in , /by

ASyrian-born Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student was arrested on Saturday and will reportedly have his green card revoked because of his involvement in radical left-wing protests supporting Hamas.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, saying Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” According to his attorney, Khalil is a permanent resident with a green card.

Federal law prohibits providing “material support or resources” to any designated terrorist organizations.

President Donald Trump said his administration would not tolerate any “pro-terrorist” behavior in a Truth Social post.

“This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump administration will not tolerate it,” Trump said. “We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again.” (Read more from “Trump Admin to Deport Foreigners Who Come to American Universities and Shill for Terrorists” HERE)

Karoline Leavitt Unleashes On ‘Disgraceful’ Dems, Corporate Media Over Their Antics Responding To Trump’s Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the Democrats and corporate media’s antics Wednesday as they lamented every aspect of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

Many Democratic lawmakers did not stand or applaud the special guests who appeared at the address, including a 13-year-old boy battling brain cancer and a high school athlete who suffered brain damage after competing against a transgender-identifying male. Leavitt condemned Democrats and the corporate media over their criticisms of the address and for their lack of sympathy toward the special guests.

“The behavior of Democrats last night was completely disgraceful and demonstrated how severely how out of touch they are with the American public,” Leavitt said. “It was the most shameful moment in the history of presidential addresses in that beautiful chamber. And what was supposed to be a unifying moment for our country, Democrat members of Congress instead screamed at the president of the United States, who was just overwhelmingly reelected by their constituents, walked out of the chamber and worst of all, they disrespected the American people. Democrats didn’t stand to keep men out of women’s sports, they couldn’t even clap for a girl who got her head smashed in by a man on a volleyball court. Democrats didn’t stand for an innocent and beautiful child who is surviving brain cancer.”

“They opposed eliminating taxes on tips and social security. They didn’t stand for cutting taxes of hardworking Americans, they couldn’t even clap for two mothers whose daughters were killed by illegal aliens,” the press secretary continued. “One of the only things that could get Democrats off their feet last night was cheering for Ukraine, not for America.” (Read more from “Karoline Leavitt Unleashes On ‘Disgraceful’ Dems, Corporate Media Over Their Antics Responding To Trump’s Address” HERE)

Elon Musk ‘Cracked The Code’ For Defeating The ‘Deep State,’ Speaker Johnson Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has “cracked the code” on how to break the “deep state” with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), according to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Johnson told Mark Levin, host of “Life, Liberty, and Levin” on Fox News in an interview that aired Saturday night, that he met with Musk for an hour at the DOGE leader’s office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building last week.

The speaker noted that Musk has been working out of the old Secretary of War Suite and “we laughed about how appropriate that is because he’s declared war on the deep state and the bureaucracy.”

Johnson added, “You have Democrats now out having rallies to stop him. What is he doing? He’s identifying and allowing us to cut out fraud, waste, and abuse. How could they be against that? It’s irrational. It’s going to work against them.”

Later in the interview, Levin got Johnson to agree that Democrats are being hypocritical for opposing Musk’s work to transform the government via DOGE after they embraced another wealthy billionaire, George Soros, who has influenced policy.

This Dem Rep Made Everyone Dumber at the DOGE Oversight Hearing This Week

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Department of Government Efficiency Oversight Subcommittee hearing on February 12 certainly wasn’t dull. We had “d**k” pics being whipped out, another Democratic congresswoman peddling election denialism, and overall Elon Musk derangement syndrome.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) chairs this subcommittee on DOGE, so you knew fireworks would fly. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who is Greene’s archnemesis on the Hill, did what she did best: spew nonsense around the room like Trump “allegedly” being elected and casting Mr. Elon Musk as an unelected bureaucrat. Yes, admittedly, this isn’t Crockett at her worst, but such talk, I was told, was in support of armed rebellion.


Then, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) called Elon a “d**k,” and did not shy away from using charged rhetoric to voice his outrage over DOGE doing its job in uncovering all of the liberal pork projects that have bled taxpayers for years. Oh, and his “d**k pic” was just an image of Mr. Musk during his remarks. These people truly have nothing.

Hegseth Confirmed As Secretary of Defense After Chaotic Process

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Caller. Pete Hegseth was confirmed Friday as the 29th secretary of Defense after a contentious Senate confirmation process.

The vote was split down party lines, with 50 votes for and 50 votes against and Vice President JD Vance set to break the tie, according to the unofficial tally. Hegseth will oversee the U.S. armed forces’ domestic and foreign activities as its civilian head.

“Pete has a unique perspective as a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and is unquestionably passionate about modernizing our military and supporting the brave patriots like himself who serve our nation,” Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis, who was rumored to have defected with his vote, said on X Friday. “I will support his confirmation and look forward to working with him to rebuild our military and advance President Trump’s peace through strength agenda.”

Republican defections included Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins.

Hegseth’s confirmation hearing was tense, as his allegations of sexual assault and past comments on women’s role in the military drew harsh attacks from Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Despite the attacks, he drew praise from his Republican colleagues for his performance. (Read more from “Hegseth Confirmed As Secretary of Defense After Chaotic Process” HERE)

Hegseth confirmed: Vance comes to rescue after McConnell rebellion forces tiebreaker

By Washington Examiner. Pete Hegseth will be the next secretary of defense after Vice President JD Vance cast a historic vote to save his confirmation when Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) rejected the nominee at the last hour.

The turbulent nomination threatened to split Republicans on one of President Donald Trump’s most consequential Cabinet picks and sets up a tense future as McConnell surprised his conference in voting “no” a day after supporting moving the process forward.

In a vote that fell mostly along party lines, the upper chamber voted 51-50 to confirm Hegseth to run the Pentagon and its sprawling, $840 billion budget.

McConnell, the former GOP leader, emerged as a surprise “no” vote on Friday, joining Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME) in opposition. Their defections forced Vance to travel to the Capitol to cast his first tiebreaker as vice president.

McConnell issued a lengthy statement defending his rejection of Hegseth, highlighting the charged geopolitical moment and the “gravest threats to U.S. national security interests since World War II.” (Read more from “Hegseth confirmed: Vance comes to rescue after McConnell rebellion forces tiebreaker” HERE)

Bureaucrats Privately Fume About Trump Abolishing DEI, Go Into Full Conspiracy Mode

/0 Comments/in , /by

Numerous current and former government employees are complaining and commiserating about the end of internal federal diversity programs in a private Facebook group, images of which have been obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The bureaucrats — mostly current or former employees of the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) National Park Service (NPS) — likened President Donald Trump’s newly-announced push to root out internal federal “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) programs to McCarthyism and sharply criticized Trump’s orders on the issue. The Trump administration has vowed to discipline federal employees who resist implementing the anti-DEI policy and sent memos to agency personnel with an email address to use for reporting attempts to sidestep the new guidelines.

A Wednesday post to the group by an employee of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), included a screenshot of an email that was sent to USDA employees this week outlining Trump’s new policy on DEI. The email featured in the post included the tip line email address to report violations of the new Trump policy.

“Email I received earlier from USDA about ending [DEI] programs. It’s like the 1950s when they were asking people to rat out their neighbors for being a suspected communist,” the USDA employee wrote in the post.

“For those still in federal employment, reminder that as part of the job you have sworn to uphold and defend the constitution. Not making this as a hint for this specific screenshot, but just in general,” one former USDA employee commented.

Dismantling the Deep State Begins on Day One of Trump 2.0

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Donald Trump was preparing to start his second term, corporate media outlets were breathlessly reporting that the Trump transition team had asked “more than a dozen career diplomats to step down.” Scores were said to be “stepping down,” resulting in “an exodus of decorated veterans of the Foreign Service,” the Washington Post reported. . .

The gnashing of teeth from the Pravda press over Trump making good on his pledge to dismantle the deep state was as expected as the president’s swift action. The reporting also was — not surprisingly — not entirely correct.

Reuters, according to sources, reported that among the diplomats asked to take a hike was John Bass, “the agency’s No. 3 official … who was acting undersecretary for political affairs overseeing policy from Asia to Europe and the Middle East.” His imminent departure was first reported by the Washington Post. The State Department updated the diplomat’s bio, noting “John Bass’s term ended on January 20, 2025.”

Reuters and others reported, via their sources, that Lisa Kenna, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service who had served as executive secretariat under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Trump’s first presidential term, would take over Bass’ duties. In fact, the president announced Monday that he had named Kenna acting Secretary of State until the confirmation of his nominee, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Kenna’s tenure was but a few hours. Early Monday evening, the Senate unanimously confirmed Rubio as Secretary of State, the first of Trump’s nominees to make it through the confirmation process.

Trump’s rapid moves to “clean out the deep state” should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. He campaigned on it. He has nominated a cabinet team dedicated to deep state disinfecting. On Monday, the new administration made clear that “the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.” (Read more from “Dismantling the Deep State Begins on Day One of Trump 2.0” HERE)
