Top Democrats Demand Investigation Into DeJoy’s Secret Deal With Musk To Gut USPS– www.politicususa.com

Excerpt:

House Democrats who oversee the USPS are concerned that the Trump administration is maneuvering to get around the law and gut the United Postal Service.

In a letter to House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY), twenty House Democrats led by Oversight Committee ranking member Gerry Connolly (D-VA) wrote:

We write to request that you convene an immediate hearing on the Trump Administration’s plans for the United States Postal Service (USPS). Since the Committee’s most recent hearing on the USPS, the Trump Administration has reportedly explored privatizing the USPS, firing the bipartisan Postal Board of Governors, merging the USPS into the Department of Commerce, and is now subjecting the USPS, America’s most trusted federal institution, to the chainsaw approach of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This broad assault on the independence of the USPS demands Congressional oversight, especially from the Committee with jurisdiction over the USPS.

On December 14, 2024, the Washington Post reported that President Trump was considering actions to privatize the USPS and push thousands of federal service employees out of their jobs in favor of a broad privatization of the agency’s essential services. Two months later, further reporting noted that President Trump was preparing plans to fire the bipartisan Postal Board of Governors and “merge” the Postal Service into the Commerce Department, “potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider and trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil.”

The New York Times turned to a popular strategy from the propaganda press playbook this week when it published what it wanted Americans to believe was a mea culpa declaring, “We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives.”

There is no doubt that the chaos and tyranny that went down in 2020 “changed our lives.” People were denied the ability to grieve their dead, told not to celebrate holidays with family and friends, masked to give birth without the support of a spouse, ripped out of classrooms to stare at a screen, and segregated from society based on their jab status.

Trump must defy rogue judges or risk a failed presidency– www.theblaze.com

If a federal judge told President Trump to deliver a specifically curated speech and then pull down his pants on live television, should he comply? If he refused, would that trigger a “constitutional crisis”? If you pay attention to the left, the answer might very well be “yes”!

The only “constitutional crisis” we face is the erroneous idea that the judiciary is atop the food chain rather than on equal footing with the other two branches of government. If Trump hopes to succeed this time around, he had better remind the judiciary of its impotence to enforce unconstitutional edicts.

Granting courts ultimate veto power over public policy creates a judicial supremacy the Founders never intended.

Federal judges have repeatedly attempted to restrict Trump’s presidential authority with overreaching demands. They have ordered the administration to fund private foreign aid organizations, reinstate specific personnel, and publish designated information on government websites. In one case, a judge even directed the secretary of defense to retract a statement on the Pentagon’s policy regarding transgender troops. And over the weekend, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to block the deportation of violent gang members under the Alien Enemies Act.

By Paul Gordon Collier, Editor

“Moreover, Josiah put away the mediums and the necromancers and the household gods and the idols and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might establish the words of the law that were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the Lord.

Before him there was no king like him, who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses, nor did any like him arise after him. Still, the Lord did not turn from the burning of his great wrath, by which his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked him.

And the Lord said, ‘I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city that I have chosen, Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.’” 2 Kings 23:24-27

Our Political & Cultural Correspondent Joshua Bontrager brought it to our attention that there seems to be a rise of what might be called “whore culture” in the “conservative movement,” a casual sex culture that seems out of step with what American conservatism has traditionally been.

Writing for AGENDA Weekly, Joshua reported: On Valentines Day, conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair posted on X, “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days, it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”

St. Clair said, “I am a good mom… My child is the most perfect thing that happened to me. I wouldn’t change anything.”

Musk, who is the father of 12 previous children by three women, has refused to comment on the allegations. But multiple conservatives responded with congratulatory notes, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who wrote, “This child has incredible genetics.”

Christian podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey responded, “Babies are ALWAYS a blessing, no matter what. But I am genuinely heartbroken by the purposeful creation of motherless or fatherless children, and it feels weird publicly applauding that.” Stuckey added, “We need more stable families.”

The Blazes Delano Squires lamented, “Stripping marriage from the family formation equation paves the way for commercial surrogacy, unregulated IVF, and same-sex adoption. This shift has consequences… The belief that a man’s bank account can replace his presence in the home ignores a fundamental truth: Fatherhood is about more than money.”

President Donald Trump, the de facto flag bearer of American conservatism, has a history of affairs and broken marriages attested to by fathering five children born to three different women.

In Germany, the AfD, the current standard bearer for German conservatism, is led by Alice Weidel, who happens to be married to a woman herself, living an openly lesbian lifestyle.

Britain’s then-Prime minister Boris Johnson openly lambasted SCOTUS after it overthrew Roe v Wade, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that he “supports a woman’s right to choose.”

He clarified, “I want to stress that this is not our court, it’s not our jurisdiction. So, in a sense, it’s for the United States, it’s not for the U.K. But the Roe v. Wade judgment, when it came out, was important psychologically for people around the world, and it spoke of the advancement of the rights of women, I think. And I regret what seems to me to be a backward step. But I’m speaking as someone looking in from the outside.”

Edmund Burke, considered by many to be the “father” of conservatism (which emerged as a response to the “liberal” claims that led to the French Revolution), makes it clear what is at the heart of Western conservatism with these two separate quotes:

“Despots govern by terror. They know that he who fears God fears nothing else; and therefore they eradicate from the mind, through their Voltaire, their Helvetius, and the rest of that infamous gang, that only sort of fear which generates true courage.”

“There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity – the law of nature and of nations. “

Burke’s conservatism is not the same as Musk’s or Trump’s or Weidel’s conservatism, all three of which, in word and/or deed, deny the Christian cultural values that formed Western conservatism. For Trump and Musk, maybe, that foundation is the Constitution, which was the product of a Christian presuppositional worldview that all men are made in the image of God, all men are sinners in need of a Savior, all men are limited by their own humanity, and thus our government should reflect these Godly assumptions.

Weidel’s “conservatism” seems little more than some form of Enlightenment nationalism wrested on the bedrock of human speculation alone, not God’s laws, not revelatory wisdom, but human-constructed wisdom (the process of “knowing,” or defining for oneself, good and evil).

Like the humanists that smuggle in “oughtness” (assumed universal right actions) with uses of undefined words like “good” and “flourishing,” this godless conservatism smuggles in oughtness with undefined words like “freedom” and “liberty.”

Unlike Burke, who wrested his worldview assumptions about the universal good from revelatory wisdom (from scripture), these “modern” conservatives attribute the universal goods to human understanding alone.

This writer imagines that something similar was going on in Judah over 2500 years ago when King Josiah began what would be the last great reform of Judah before its final collapse. The comparison isn’t perfect because, in this case, Josiah was a righteous ruler who understood the foundation of governance wisdom, the Word of God.

While President Trump gives credit to God for saving his life in the PA assassination attempt, he is hardly a paradigm of a righteous ruler that will lead a nation to repent and seek salvation from the Lord alone.

Still, the fact that Josiah was a righteous ruler, in word and deed, who led a reform that would prove to be a mile wide and an inch deep, he serves as even MORE of a stark warning to Americans here and now. If our American reform is led by an unrighteous man, what makes you think this reform will be more than superficial when not even a righteous ruler like Josiah could make his reform deep?

This writer does not align himself with conservatives, or conservatism in general, though that is based on my philosophical disagreements with them, not necessarily the fruit of Western conservatism. I believe Western conservatism is the philosophical justification (at least the attempted justification) for a Christian cultural reality.

It is that foundation, Christian culturalism, if you will, that I hold in common with conservatives, but not because of the republic of letters, the logical, reasonable, common-sense speculations of men, but because of God’s divinely inspired Word, Scriptures.

Burke’s engagement with the French Revolution unwittingly gave rise to the justification for the removal of the true root of Western conservatism in how he justified his pushback on the ideas being espoused and cut into flesh during the bloody affair.

Burke was the product of the rise of the “republic of letters,” which is the rise of human linguistic wordcraft over the received wisdom of the Word of God. As such, rather than simply appealing to the Word as a rebuke of the evils being espoused and practiced by the violent revolutionaries, Burke appealed to the same false gods many conservatives of today appeal to: logic, reason, and even “common sense.”

Burke affirmed the revolutionaries’ true foundation, linguistic wordcraft, by appealing to logic, reason, and common sense over the revelatory wisdom of God’s word. Even though Burke would not be considered a liberal today, his apologetic in defense of a revelatory-based governance wisdom source laid the groundwork for the complete undoing of that foundation, so that now conservatives in America appeal far more to the Bill of Rights to justify their beliefs than they do the Word of God.

The fact that there now exists a distinct subset of “conservatism” in almost every Western nation called “Christian conservatism” should demonstrate to you just how far afield whatever Western “conservatism” has become (liberal enlightenment humanism, by the way).

It has veered so far from its roots that it can no longer be called conservatism as, at this point, what it wants doesn’t exist, and what used to exist, Christian culturalism, it no longer wants either. It is a new thing, not a preservation of tradition.

As this writer has declared in past reports and even Final Thoughts, America’s great reformation that is currently underway will not produce lasting results. Rather, it will hasten the demise of the American republic, officially. The only person that can “save” America is the only person that can save me, or any of you, Christ.

This comes from a repentant, humbled heart, poor in spirit in comparison to the recognition of God’s great Spirit, mourning, for we see the fallenness of the world just as God sees it, and meek in recognition that it is not by our works, but God’s, lest we should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10), which begins with a recognition of your fallen nature and your need for a Savior. If your root is “freedom,” “equity,” “liberty,” “goodness,” or “flourishingness,” then your root is in human linguistic wordcraft, not truth.

Let us ourselves repent and turn to Christ to save our nation and pray that our leaders, starting with President Trump, do the same. Whatever their unrighteous past says about these “leaders,” the empty tomb invites them all to repentance and a turning away from the temptation to “know good and evil” for themselves.

These are leaders of the republic of letters, not sons and daughters of God. Let us hope God leads these men to Him or gives us truly godly leaders, for a good leader is a blessing on the land.

“When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people groan.”  –Proverbs 29:2

Trump Is Right on the White House Correspondents’ Association—and Speaker Johnson Should Follow Suit– freebeacon.com

Excerpt:

It’s been a lousy week for the White House Correspondents’ Association. President Donald Trump cut the organization off at the knees when he announced on Tuesday that the White House, not the WHCA, would select the members of the presidential press pool, the rotating group of reporters and photographers who cover the president in places like the Oval Office and Air Force One where space is tight. Cue the hysterics.

The White House has always had the discretion to grant or deny reporters access to White House grounds and, once on those grounds, over which reporters are called on in press briefings. It stands to reason that the White House has the right to decide which outlets get access to tight space that the White House itself is providing.

But taking control of the press pool, the WHCA says, is an assault on the First Amendment. “In a free country, leaders must not be able to choose their own press corps,” the organization’s president Eugene Daniels said Tuesday, shortly after announcing his departure from Politico for MSNBC. “For generations, the working journalists elected to lead the White House Correspondents’ Association board have consistently expanded the WHCA’s membership and its pool rotations to facilitate the inclusion of new and emerging outlets.”

Why do evangelical Christians have so little power in our society?

According to some surveys, evangelical Christians compose roughly 25% of the U.S. population, and though we are known for our tendency to vote for conservative political candidates, we have little power outside our political preferences.

Smaller groups, by contrast, have much greater power in proportion to their numbers. A Gallup survey estimates that 7.6% of adults identify as LGBTQ, yet despite their numbers, they wield extraordinary power in our society. All major U.S. industries — from tech to business to entertainment to education to government — are dominated by radical feminists, pro-abortionists, LGBTQ activists, and godless secularists.

If evangelical Christians represent a quarter of our population, then where are the prominent evangelical entrepreneurs, up-and-coming business leaders, CEOs, innovators, and tech pioneers? They’ve got to be out there somewhere. So why don’t we know about them?

By Paul Collier, Editor

“A clear view of the difference between the province of constitutional law and the province of administrative function ought to leave no room for misconception; and it is possible to name some roughly definite criteria upon which such a view can be built. Public administration is detailed and systematic execution of public law… The broad plans of governmental action are not administrative; the detailed execution of such plans is administrative. Constitutions, therefore, properly concern themselves only with those instrumentalities of government which are to control general law…

Our peculiar American difficulty in organizing administration is not the danger of losing liberty, but the danger of not being able or willing to separate its essentials from its accidents. Our success is made doubtful by that besetting error of ours, the error of trying to do too much by vote. Self-government does not consist in having a hand in everything, any more than housekeeping consists necessarily in cooking dinner with one’s own hands. The cook must be trusted with a large discretion as to the management of the fires and the ovens…”Woodrow Wilson, from The Study of Administration

INTRODUCTION

As President Trump moves to cut down the administrative state, the courts are now responding to his moves with aggressive rulings that could cause the President to ignore their rulings altogether, come what may. The story of the administrative state versus Trump, though, began long ago, in the mind of a professional man who was pondering this question: How can America overcome the limits of democracy and liberty?

On December 31, 1887, a policy wonk named Woodrow Wilson penned an essay called The Study of Administration.” In that essay, Wilson outlined a dream of a new America that would free itself from the shackles of a democracy without surrendering the principles of a democracy.

That dream was fulfilled in the administrative state, where an army of “experts,” people who would use the broadly written language of laws to create more de facto laws not held accountable to public opinion. This would be accomplished using regulations, specifically the regulators, unaccountable legislators, that write the new de facto laws.

Wilson would become President in 1913, a year that saw the Income Tax created, the Federal Reserve created, and State Legislatures lose the power to select Senators. America was becoming more “Democratic” and more well-funded. The seeds of Wilson’s administrative state were created.

Over 100 years later, Wilson’s administrative state has grown into an anti-American leviathan, with its tendrils infecting every major American institution and almost every American life. A recent SCOTUS ruling that struck down the so-called Chevron defense, a legal precedent that conceded constitutional interpretation to the administrative state, effectively struck down the heart of Wilson’s administrative state. This makes creating new deeply buried slush funds for the anti-Americanist party, the DNC, much more difficult, so the pain of losing what they have is even more pronounced.

Now, DOGE and Trump are coming for Woodrow Wilson and his regulator army.

A. THE RISE OF THE AMERICANIST BILLIONAIRE

A civil war has broken out in America that takes us one step closer to a “hot” civil war, which is still far worse than this less invasive version that’s being fought right now. This war is being fought in government buildings in D.C., America’s capital. This war is being fought in U.S. courtrooms across this country. This war is being fought on social media around the world. This war is being fought in newsrooms and film studios. This is a war between the administrative state, the party in power, and the defenders of the republic, the counterrevolutionaries.

  1. THE PROGMERICANS – On the one side, we have the Democratic Party and their loyal rearguard, the “RINOs” (Republicans in name only) that still seem to have a lot of power in national, state, and even local leaderships across America. This group has essentially bought into what one might call “The China Model,” which is a model that supposes one can have a “mixed economy,” one that allows for controlled “capitalism” enjoyed by the party favorites, and one that still exercises socialist control over the unfavored masses.

What attracted American billionaires to the China model was the idea they could enjoy the fruits of capitalism, mainly its creative power over socialist markets, while not suffering the full consequences of “true” capitalism, competition from the hoi polio.

When it comes to the DNC, the line between the DNC-captured corporation and the state is so blurred that it has become almost invisible. For instance, the Soros family gave millions to DNC-interest groups, even largely bankrolling the rise of so-called Soros DAs,” far-left anti-crime Attorney Generals like Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg, people willing to violate American Rule of Law for the sake of the party.

Yet, the Soros Family has also received millions from USAID, one of what will most likely turn out to be multiple DNC slush funds designed to spread woke leftism abroad and insurrection at home. So where does the state begin and end with the Soros family? There is no separation, it would seem, to this writer.

  1. XI ARRESTS THE BILLIONAIRES – After Chairman Xi became the de facto chairman of China in 2016, by earning the title of “Core” leader, he moved swiftly to purge those not in his trusted circle by using corruption charges as the tip of that purging spear.

After he was done with the political class, he turned his sights on the billionaire class, which is when American billionaires took notice. Some began to realize that a socialist system, even with capitalism for the party favorites, is still a police state system, making any billionaire vulnerable to the whims of a leader like Chairman Xi no matter how much wealth the party allows them to accrue.

  1. BIDEN ACTS LIKE XI – The billionaires on the inside of the heart of DNC power felt a little safer, believing, perhaps, they could never be one of the rogue billionaires that would get caught up in the leader’s crosshairs. The billionaires on the outside of DNC power began to see the writing on the wall.

The acceleration of the rise of the anti-woke billionaires came through the DNC’s poor decision to prosecute Trump, political opponents, J6ers, and even pro-life activists. They could see for themselves up close the real power of the woke left to destroy the opposition using lawfare and any other means they might find at their disposal.

They started to believe the Democrats were the violent revolutionaries (since 1913) seeking to create an oppressive police state that we always said they were. They knew one thing: if Trump lost in 2024, they might be the next to be hauled off to prison.

So they threw in with Trump, dodged literal bullets, and now, with the creation of DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency, the Americanist billionaires (Trump, Musk) are battling the Progmerican billionaires by going after the heart of the DNC.

The heart of the DNC power is its magical, nebulous government-created-and-protected slush funds. These funds were created by Wilson’s administrative state, and now they are its lifeblood.

  1. THE BATTLEFIELD EMERGES – But the Americanists aren’t just fighting the slush funds; they’re fighting the wall of DNC bodies that stand as human shields to protect those funds, the bureaucrats, the unelected de facto DNC activists using government funds to subvert American interests both at home and abroad.

In front of those bureaucrats is the first line of defense, the DNC judges, the Judges willing to subvert American Rule of Law to advance the interests of the DNC, the party of Progmerica, the police state, where American liberty dies. This is that struggle so far.

B. THE PRIZE FOR VICTORY, THE COST FOR DEFEAT

What’s at stake for the DNC is the very survival of its key advantage, the ability to create the illusion of social acceptance, social ascendancy so the woke left can continue to use its most powerful weapon, social ostracism, as a legitimate expression of organic power (or grassroots power as opposed to what it really almost always is, astro-turfed power).

Through its control of most of the major institutions in America, the Progmericans are able to create the illusion that their way is the right way, the commonsense way, and anyone outside of that orthodoxy is rightly socially ostracized, if not imprisoned, if not killed.

But the ideology is antithetical to human flourishing, so only deception, fraud, and coercion can sustain it. For that, they need to control the means of social, cultural, market, and civic production, which they mostly do.

Should they lose even the majority of it, let alone all of it, this writer predicts a dramatic shift in political worldviews in America when Americans learn their American beliefs and American values are NOT fringe views that are code for white supremacism as the DNC media would have you believe.

Should the axe fall on even just the majority of their slush funds, the effect will be profound. It will ensure the Democrats will have to either abandon the anti-American wokism it decided to ride to power or cease to be a party at all.

C. DOGE BREACHES THE BEAST

After DOGE accessed the Treasury Department’s payment data when Homeland Security Officers had to be called to remove resisting bureaucrats from the premises, they discovered a far-left slush fund called USAID. Soon after, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly halted the operation (more on her later).

It was decided that the operation, the forensic investigation of government budget by DOGE, could continue after the DOJ agreed to a proposed order that would allow only two Musk-approved, but Treasury Department-employed people to have access to the data in read-only mode. These two special employees are Tom Krause and Marko Elaz.

The window into the soul of the so-called deep state, the USAID, would continue, and DOGE would expose, in detail, an operation that spanned the world, that funded the press, at home and abroad, and created many unaccountable funds worth billions. The heart of Woodrow Wilson’s administrative state lay bare for the world to see.

  1. USAID SOCIAL – Here is a bulletin of just a few woke left activist groups USAID funded (from PJ Media):
  • $1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.
  • $14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.
  • $20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.
  • $47,020 for a transgender opera in Colombia through the State Department.
  • $32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru through the State Department.
  • $55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the State Department.
  • $3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.
  • $7,071.58 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada through the State Department.
  • $80,000 for an LGBTQ community center in Bratislava, Slovakia, through the State Department.
  • $3.2 million to help Tunisian migrants readjust to life in Tunisia after deportation through the State Department.
  • $16,500 to foster a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society” through the State Department.
  • $10,000 to pressure Lithuanian corporations to promote “DEI values” through the State Department.
  • $8,000 to promote DEI among LGBTQ groups in Cyprus through the State Department.
  • $1.5 million to promote job opportunities for LGBTQ individuals in Serbia through USAID.
  1. USAID PRESS – In addition to pushing woke left ideologies, USAID also funds major leftist media outlets, including Politico and the New York Times. This is a story that might be a future MIA report (events permitting) involving more than just USAID indirectly funding corporate media.

The use of slush funds to prop up media outlets telling Americans to hate themselves while inciting violence on a daily basis makes these same media outlets vulnerable if the slush funds are shut down.

After all, when the press continues to spread hateful messages, they lose customers, and they can only sustain themselves if they are being subsidized. In this case, they are being illegally subsidized by the government.

USAID was also behind funding the work done by these same insurrectionists to spread the Russia Hoax, a psyop that was intended to remove not just a sitting President, but the entire political opposition, criminalizing dissent in the name of safety against the Russian demon.

From townhall.com:

Public’s Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag once again dove into this sordid world of (supposed) NGO activity and government funding: they found that OCCRP pushed the Trump-Russian bank/money laundering myth.

USAID and the State Department appear to have created a vast network to co-opt the international press. These agencies funneled $472.6 million to Internews over the last 17 years. As of 2023, Internews operated out of 30 countries and had reached over 778 million people. The organization trained over 9,000 journalists and nearly 4,300 media outlets worldwide.

Jeanne Bourgault, Internews’ CEO, advocated for exclusion lists on social media “to combat disinformation” of disfavored views at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2024. The WEF then issued a report naming “misinformation” as the number one “Global Risk.” 

Through these methods, USAID specifically, and the U.S. deep state in general, have used taxpayer money not only for censorship, but also for propaganda, agenda setting, and information control around the world. 

As a result of their discoveries, Trump and his Secretaries have been slashing jobs and offering buyouts to others. They’ve also canceled what funding of leftist fake news outlets they could.

D. WILSON FIGHTS BACK

After a few thousand jobs were slashed, lawsuits ensued immediately, mostly filed in DNC-controlled courts. One immigration group suing Trump, CASA, is being funded by the government to the tune of $12 million from 2022-23 alone. Even as this report is finalized, news of more district judges striking down Trump’s orders are STILL coming in.

A good summary of the work being done by the DNC-serving courts was written by John Daniel Davidson from The Federalist:

Federal judges in Democrat-majority districts have issued preliminary injunctions blocking Trump’s executive actions to end birthright citizenship, reform and downsize the United States Agency for International Development, and offer buyouts to federal bureaucrats. A federal judge this past weekend blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and all other political appointees in the Trump administration – including the Treasury secretary and his deputies – from accessing payment data at the Treasury Department.

… (Another judge, appointed by Obama, took the extraordinary step of ordering the administration to pay back every cent of federal funding that’s been paused or canceled – and threatened anyone who violates his order with criminal contempt.)

What all this lawfare amounts to is a kind of judicial coup against the sitting president. By doling out injunctions like they’re USAID grants for LGBTQ awareness programs in Mali, Democrats have been able to hamstring key aspects of Trump’s agenda – at least for the moment. It’s a simple enough tactic. All Democrats have to do is shop for a venue to find the most activist, rabidly anti-Trump federal judges in the country, file their lawsuits, and wait for the injunctions to come raining down.

Vice President JD Vance tweeted, “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.” This seems like pretty aggressive language to me.

President Trump has filed an Emergency Motion to dissolve the TRO to cancel the most aggressive judgments. From President Trump’s filing:

At approximately 1:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 8, 2025, this Court issued an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order that purported to limit access to a vast swath of Treasury systems to only “civil servants,” while prohibiting “all political appointees” from doing the same. On its face, the Order could be read to cover all political leadership within Treasury – including even Secretary Bessent. This is a remarkable intrusion on the Executive Branch that is in direct conflict with Article II of the Constitution, and the unitary structure it provides.

There is not and cannot be a basis for distinguishing between “civil servants” and “political appointees.” Basic democratic accountability requires that every executive agency’s work be supervised by politically accountable leadership, who ultimately answer to the President. A federal court, consistent with the separation of powers, cannot insulate any portion of that work from the specter of political accountability. No court can issue an injunction that directly severs the clear line of supervision Article II requires. Because the Order on its face draws an impermissible and anti-constitutional distinction, it should be dissolved immediately.

The war in the courts continues, with a recent ruling in Trump’s favor offsetting the far-left judges’ treasonous actions. U.S. District Judge George O’Toole Jr. removed his freeze on federal employee payouts.

The Democrats know their heart of power is under assault. Representative LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) yelled out at a rally, “We will not take this! We will fight back! And god#%m it, shut down the Senate! We are at war!” Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) screamed, “Pay attention. We’re here today in the hopes that you will see the light. But if you do not see the light, we will bring the fire. Resist!”

The Democrats are calling for street fights and threatening to “get up in their faces” while their DNC-serving judges are threatening to arrest Trump if he doesn’t comply with their unconstitutional orders. One Democratic Party U.S. congressmember recently threatened to meet Elon Musk with “actual weapons,” and encouraged his followers to do the same.

Robert Garcia (D-CA). saidWell he is a d#%k, and I think he’s also harming the American public in an enormous way. What I think is really important and what the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight… This is an actual fight for democracy, for the future of this country, and it’s important to push back on the chairperson of this committee.”

PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS

The heart of this battle, right now, is in the courts, and the DNC has polluted it with activist party members who hold no loyalty to a country they’ve been trained to believe is merely a white supremacist demon that helped invent or completely invented evil itself.

The DNC-controlled courts will do what they must to protect the party from being politically executed before our very eyes. The question is, what will the Americanists do in response? This could be the flashpoint where the civil war of today becomes something awful tomorrow.

If SCOTUS intervenes quickly and settles most of the lawsuits in Trump’s favor, expect to see Progmerican billionaires begin leaving the country to head to friendlier climes. There may be some token blue state resistance, but this will not devolve into a hot civil war, as the counties outside the cities in those states will quickly make it clear they stand with Trump.

If SCOTUS intervenes quickly and sides with the bureaucrats, America will face a constitutional crisis, one I don’t think Trump will back down from. In this scenario, we will soon devolve into a hot civil war. If Trump fails to defy the courts, the bureaucrats have won, which will also lead to a hot civil war, but not as quickly as it will if Trump defies the court orders.

This writer supports Trump ignoring the court orders, for he would know that to preserve this infestation is to guarantee the destruction of the republic, so he will have nothing left to lose. Blue states will form associations but will not officially secede from the union; rather, they will simply not recognize the authority of the Trump Federal government. Numerous states will issue arrest warrants for Trump and every other member of his cabinet.

Blue States will see counties within them revolt, peacefully, doing to them what they just did to Trump, refusing to recognize state authority. Maps will emerge that will show the true reality of power for Progmerica, that the Democratic Party is overwhelmingly a city party that lacks real presence in most of the country.

Outside of the cities, Progmericans do not gather in significant numbers. If the maps reveal this reality, expect the shooting war to be averted. If not, this is when the shooting war begins.

If SCOTUS fails to act quickly, the battle will be over the hearts and minds of the people, with the DNC hate machine, the info-terrorist-insurrectionist media, pulling out all the stops to scare Americans into thinking reining in government bureaucracy and spending is somehow white supremacism.

Believe you me, friends, in the woke left parlance, the shortest path to cutting off critical thinking and winning every “debate” is to convince the sycophant their enemy is the devil himself, which is what “white supremacism” really means. It is a dog whistle for the devil, Satan, Old Scratch himself. This time will be no different.

But the use of yell-shaming as a means of human control eventually breaks, and the human ends up breaking their spell over them, laughing at the wokist’s taunts, its baseless accusations, and its hysterical cries.

If SCOTUS drags its feet and allows these cases to slowly work through the courts, this will mean more violence Americans will have to face, and more blue state tyranny Americans behind enemy lines will have to face.

With only state power to thug their enemies with, the people in blue states will soon be reminded of the difference between Trump’s America and Progmerica, where they now live. This will cause those who might not be able to afford to leave to STILL leave for red horizons, as the exodus from woke continues.

Their ability to fund more city burnings is less than it was, but city burning is coming, and the response from Trump might be heavy-handed, as it probably should be.

If this writer is right, the power of the media to mold American opinion is diminished more and more every day. Their power is so waned that I do not believe the lies they tell onscreen will overcome the reality Americans feel in their lives every day.

They want this rot gone, even if they don’t fully yet fundamentally understand that this rot is centralized in one entity, the DNC, the Democrat National Corporation.

If the spirit of America is as strong as I believe it is in this land today, this will be the last gasp of the latest iteration of Hell, the Democratic Party and its woke left vehicle of power. Still, it will hardly be the last we hear from Hell, for Hell never shuts up, and WILL NEVER shut up until Christ returns.

As Pope Francis, the oldest pope in over a century, continues to decline in health, speculation is percolating as to who will next be elected as the most powerful Catholic in the world.

The 88-year-old pontiff developed pneumonia in both lungs over the weekend and will remain hospitalized as he battles the infection, according to the Vatican.

Technically any Roman Catholic man can be elected as the heir to St. Peter, though invariably one of the 253 cardinals from around the world will don the papal tiara.

Jonathan Turley Thinks Dems’ Efforts To Stop Trump In Defense Of Democracy Are, Well, Actually Threatening Democracy– americanactionnews.com

Excerpt:

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday the Democrats are the ones threatening democracy through their efforts to stop President Donald Trump from shrinking the size of the federal government and eliminating wasteful spending.

Congressional Democrats and liberal activists have continued to rage over Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk’s efforts to cut the federal government’s billions of dollars in wasteful spending and carry out mass layoffs to make agencies more efficient. Turley said the Democrats are attempting to stop Trump from upholding his promises to the American people in the name of democracy, when in actuality, their legal efforts are the true threat to Democratic institutions.

The Movement to Merge Parts of Oregon Into ‘Greater Idaho’ Just Took Another Step Closer to Becoming a Reality | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com

Excerpt:

As the Gateway pundit has previously reported, the concept of Greater Idaho is an effort by some parts of the state of Oregon to secede and become part of the state of Idaho.

The reason people are pushing for this is because the eastern part of Oregon is conservative and the folks who live there are tired of having to live under progressive rule from people in the western part of the state and the far left city of Portland.

The movement has made slow progress with mostly small moves, but it just took a bigger step towards becoming real.

The New York Post reported:

Oregon effort to shift border, join conservative Idaho gains momentum with GOP bill

Over the past several years, the Greater Idaho movement has tried to create the conditions needed for about 13 counties to join the conservative Gem State next door.

Greater Idaho began putting such measures up for votes in various counties in 2020 and this month saw Republican lawmakers file a bill in the state legislature that would create a task force to study “moving” the border.

State Rep. Mark Owens, R-Malheur, put forward HB 3844, a measure that creates and directs a task force to document the impacts of relocating the Idaho border and requires a report be presented to lawmakers in Salem…

Greater Idaho president Mike McCarter said in a statement: “We are encouraged to see the representatives of Eastern Oregon coming together to advocate for their voters by bringing these bills to the Legislature. The people of Eastern Oregon have made clear they want to explore moving the border and joining Idaho.
