DISMANTLING THE 'DEEP STATE'
Trump would try to strip tens of thousands of career employees of their civil service protections. That way, they could be fired as he seeks to "totally obliterate the deep state."


He would try to accomplish that by reissuing a 2020 executive order known as "Schedule F." That would allow him to reclassify masses of employees, with a particular focus, he has said, on "corrupt bureaucrats who have weaponized our justice system" and "corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus." Given his anger at the FBI and federal prosecutors pursuing criminal cases against him, Trump probably would target people linked to those prosecutions for retribution.

Beyond the firings, he wants to crack down on government officials who leak to reporters. He also wants to require that federal employees pass a new civil service test.

THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER
Trump has pledged to "immediately stop the invasion of our southern border" and end illegal immigration.

As part of that plan, he says he would immediately direct U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to undertake the largest domestic deportation operation in American history. He would target people who are legally living in the United States but harbor "jihadist sympathies" and revoke the student visas of those who espouse anti-American and antisemitic views.

In a bid to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, Trump says he will move thousands of troops currently stationed overseas and shift federal agents, including those at the Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI, to immigration enforcement. He also wants to build more of the border wall.

Trump wants to reimpose his travel ban that originally targeted seven Muslim-majority countries and expand it to "keep radical Islamic terrorists out of the country." In the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel, he has pledged to put in place "ideological screening" for immigrants. His aim: bar "dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs," as well as those who "empathize with radical Islamic terrorists and extremists."

To deter migrants, he has said he would end birthright citizenship, using an an executive order that would introduce a legally untested interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The order would prevent federal agencies from granting automatic citizenship to the children of people who are in the U.S. illegally. It would require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their children to be eligible for passports, Social Security numbers and other benefits.

TRADE
Trump says he will institute a system of tariffs of perhaps 10% on most foreign goods. Penalties would increase if trade partners manipulate their currencies or engage in other unfair trading practices.

Corey Lewandowski is back in the headlines after the 2016 campaign manager was tapped as a senior adviser Thursday, in a move that puts the hard-charging politico back in the fray alongside senior advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles.

The move has been brewing for some time. The Trump family had expressed growing frustration with the slow response to the Democrats' bait-and-switch candidate swap, and jealous, competing power centers within the mid-level ranks of the campaign have only added to the irritation.

Deep State should be nuked.  Problem solved.

Kennedy said he has spoken to Trump at length about forming a "unity government" to focus on the issues he centered his campaign on, such as ending the war in Ukraine, ending media censorship and improving children's health.

He went on to tease that Trump is likely to announce more additions to the so-called unity government in the near future.

Billionaire tech moguls line up to support Trump's 2024 run.
Silicon Valley has traditionally been a reliable gold mine for the Democratic Party and progressive causes. But a rightward shift is occurring. The first fault lines popped up years ago with Elon Musk, but the shift has been accelerating in recent months, with several movers and shakers throwing their weight and wealth behind Donald Trump. Silicon Valley just isn't as comfortable being a Democratic lapdog as it once was.

Wealthy venture capitalists from hedge fund manager Bill Ackman to Marc Andreessen, Ben Horowitz, the Winklevoss twins, David Sacks, Joe Lonsdale, Doug Leone, and many more are now off the reservation and openly stating support for Trump and opposition to Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party's agenda for America.

Short version of the platform:  making life absolutely miserable for libtards.

A CNN host ADMITS the economy gives Trump a huge edge over Harris.

CNN host Kate Bolduan notes that Kamala Harris has "an eye-popping lead over Trump among women," Donald Trump has "a huge edge over Harris when it comes to the economy."

Trump said during a rally in Tucson, Arizona, on Thursday that he would "end all taxes on overtime" if he returns to the White House.

Yes I agree with that measure Herman Herm.

If the US doesn't do that now they'll be forced to 1 day.

I don't think its racist to end unrestricted citizenship by birthright since Australia & the UK already have. But nobody condemns them for introducing those restrictions.

Maybe caskur caskur can confirm that? I know Australia takes a really hard line on illegal migrants because if they didn't their country would get flooded or invaded by millions of migrants.

Don't reply to my posts Joe. Put me on ignore.

Oi JOEJ ...Joe! I'm going to explain this one more time, and the prime reason why we don't want our Great Southern Land flooded or "invaded" as such. Listen now...

While arid and semi-arid regions may account for 70 per cent of Australia's landmass, only 30 per cent of Australia is both fertile and habitable.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reported that 435,719 aliens convicted of crimes have been released into the United States, including 13,100 convicted of murder, 10,000 for robbery, 15,800 for sexual assault, and 62,231 for assault. None of these individuals are in custody, the report said.

Brave new world we live in.

MSNBC host Ari Melber expressed shock on Wednesday when a star witness at Donald Trump's first impeachment inquiry endorsed the former president.

In 2019, Gordon Sondland, then-United States ambassador to the United Nations, testified as a key witness in Trump's first impeachment inquiry in which Trump was accused of abusing his power as president by withholding military support from Ukraine unless Ukraine investigated Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Sondland's testimony implicated Trump and other top administration officials. However, two days after the Senate acquitted Trump, Sondland was fired.

Despite being fired, Sondland still supported Trump. But that changed after Jan. 6.

"No, I don't stand by it, and I'll tell you why," Sondland answered. "I've now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies, and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country's way of life but to our allies as well."

That answer sent Melber into a frenzy of interrupting Sondland and shouting.

J.D. Vance, in September, outlined the idea of freezing the war in Eastern Europe by establishing autonomous regions on both sides of the demilitarized zone and leaving Ukraine outside NATO, according to the FT.

According to one of Trump's longtime advisors, the new plan would rethink the failed Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015, which were never implemented. The agreements contained a plan that would autonomous zones in Russian occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Occupied Crimea was not mentioned in the Minsk Agreement.

The new plan will include enforcement mechanisms and consequences for violating the agreement, the adviser said. But, in his opinion, European troops, not NATO forces or UN peacekeepers, will have to keep order.

"There are two things America will insist on. We will not have any men or women in the enforcement mechanism. We're not paying for it. Europe is paying for it," he added.

Faced with higher food prices, higher housing costs, and a feeling that the economy wasn't working for them, American voters backed Trump.

Pundits who can't fathom why anyone would ever vote for Trump need to remember what James Carville, a strategist for Bill Clinton, said in 1992, "It's the economy, stupid." For anyone trying to understand the election results, really it is that simple.

The team approach of having Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaign for him, reaching out to people concerned about health and big pharma – not normally Republican issues, certainly helped. Having Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential hopeful, run a secondary campaign reaching out to Democrats, independents and women wary of Harris was a smart move.

"Is it easier for you to go buy things in the stores than it was four years ago?" Reagan asked in that 1980 debate with Jimmy Carter.

In many ways, Trump ran that as the main theme of his campaign, and it worked. The Democrats pushed issues like abortion or Trump being a threat to democracy, and that didn't resonate beyond their base, people who were already voting for Kamala Harris.

The problem with this way of thinking is it legitimizes the 2020 election. Trump won that election. The democRATs pumped in about 20 to 26 MILLION extra illegitimate votes. Some of those votes were batches where biden got way more than 90% of the votes, a statistical impossibility.

Trump simply won this time for the same reason he won the last 2 times. People dont buy the democRAT tranny lovin, high taxation, man hating, kill your baby, bullshit. You can bet your ass that if the democRATs could have pumped in 25 million votes for Harris, they would have and the narrative would be that democRATs have a mandate to put down MAGA.

Trump won because the democRATs didnt have the means to cheat it like 2020.

Republicans were proactive this time.

Trump is expected to tap Senator Marco Rubio to be his secretary of state, sources said on Monday, putting the Florida-born politician on track to be the first Latino to serve as America's top diplomat.

Rubio, 53, has said in recent interviews that Ukraine needs to seek a negotiated settlement with Russia rather than focus on regaining all territory that Russia has taken in the last decade. He was also one of 15 Republican senators to vote against a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, passed in April.

Trump promised repeatedly to pardon hundreds of people caught up in the events of January 6, 2021. For those who marched peacefully through the Capitol, like Steve Baker, it's time for the nightmare to end.

Trump announced Monday that he will appoint former New York Rep. Lee Zeldin (R) to run the Environmental Protection Agency. With Zeldin at the helm, the EPA will likely drop its climate alarmist outlook, maintain meaningful environmental standards, and get out of the way of American innovation.

Trump's appointed border czar Tom Homan joined "The Sean Hannity Show" to clear up any confusion.

"Are you planning on deporting American citizens?" Hannity asked.

"No, exactly not. Look, 'The View,' it's like the island of misfit toys,"' he chuckled. "They don't know what the hell they're talking about."

Homan then explained Trump's actual plan: To "prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first," meaning they're going to seek out "convicted criminal aliens in this country" and issue "orders of removal."

However, that doesn't mean that if you're an illegal alien who's not a convicted criminal that you're safe.

"If you're in the country illegally, you shouldn't feel comfortable — absolutely not," Homan added. "When you enter this country illegally, you have committed a crime. You are a criminal, and you're not off the table."

We're finally getting the guy we've been waiting for.

Well you knew Musk was going to be have some influential role in the Trump administration and thus he has been handed an advisor role in creating greater government efficiency.

Congress controls spending. Trump must assume he will lose the house or the Senate in 2026. He has to work with congress now to control spending. That has never been a priority for Trump, but with fiscal hawks like Musk and Ramaswamy as key advisors, that is bound to change.

In Donald Trump's bombshell interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience," the president-elect floated the idea of abolishing the income tax as well as raising tariffs.

"If you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it's one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax, it is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy," said Heritage Foundation visiting fellow Peter St Onge.

"If you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it's one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax, it is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy," he explains, noting that Trump's plan is reminiscent of the 1800s.

"That was before we had an income tax, was also before we had a Fed, and back then, the federal government had to live off tariffs," St Onge says. "That was the greatest period not only of economic growth but of cultural achievement."

"It was really the golden age of humanity, and the key there was that we did not have an income tax, we did not have a regulatory state, we did not have a Fed. So if Trump can take us back there, and all we have to do is like an 8% sales tax on Chinese stocks, that is the deal of the century," he adds.

Abolish the IRS and simply let the states collect their own taxes.  Federal programs can be funded by having the states collect 20% above what they need.

Problem solved.

Rather than waste time, money, and energy indulging the delusions of those suffering from body dysmorphia, Health Secretary Robert Kennedy has signaled he will actually try to improve their health and the health of the nation at large.

"We have a generational opportunity to bring together the greatest minds in science, medicine, industry, and government to put an end to the chronic disease epidemic," Kennedy said in his response to Trump's announcement. "I look forward to working with the more than 80,000 employees at HHS to free the agencies from the smothering cloud of corporate capture so they can pursue their mission to make Americans once again the healthiest people on Earth."

Kennedy has offered some hints and specifics in recent months about what he would do if put in a position to take meaningful federal action.

Protecting youth from the sex-change regime
In May, Kennedy tweeted, "The more I learn, the more troubled I have become about giving puberty blockers to youth. Minors cannot drive, vote, join the army, get a tattoo, smoke, or drink, because we know that children do not fully understand the consequences of decisions with life-long ramifications."

The future Trump nominee stressed that the brain's prefrontal cortex, "responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions, doesn't fully mature until the early to mid-20s."

"I don't think children can genuinely consent to repurposed castration drugs (puberty blockers) and surgical mutilation, which have permanent, irreversible effects," said Kennedy.

A Kennedy-led HHS would help Trump make good on his vows to revoke the Biden-Harris administration's "cruel policies on so-called 'gender-affirming care'"; cease all programs promoting the concept of gender transition; and cut "any hospital or healthcare provider participating in the chemical or physical mutilation of minor youth" off of Medicaid and Medicare.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is one of the HHS agencies Kennedy would oversee.

When threatening federal funding, Kennedy might want to look at the medical advocacy group Do No Harm's new database of hospitals and medical facilities that are apparently subjecting children to sex-change mutilations and sterilizing chemical treatments.

might get the 'keys to the intelligence community kingdom.'
There is a pattern developing with regard to President-elect Donald Trump's recent nominations: He announces someone apparently well suited to executing the agenda he successfully campaigned on; those with vested interests in the status quo panic; and establishmentarians viciously attack the nominees, pleading with nominal Republicans in the U.S. Senate to prevent their confirmation.

This pattern has been repeated for multiple picks, including former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Although virtually all of Trump's nominations have ruffled feathers, his choice of Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard to serve as the director of national intelligence appears to have inspired a special kind of unease among Democratic lawmakers, the liberal media, and elements of the intelligence community.

Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth had this to say about the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "First of all, you've got to fire the chairman of Joint Chiefs." He explained how the Trump administration could course correct after a disastrous four years under the Biden administration.

"You're going to bring in a new secretary of defense, but any general that was involved, general, admiral, whatever, that was involved in any of the DEI, woke s***, has got to go," he continued.

"You've got to get DEI and CRT out of military academies so you're not training young officers to be baptized in this type of thinking, and then whatever the combat standards were say in, I don't know, 1995, let's just make those the standards," he added.

While Hegseth admits the trust has been broken between the military and the people, he doesn't believe it's too late.

"You have to reestablish that trust by putting in no-nonsense war fighters in those positions who aren't going to cater to the socially correct garbage," he concluded.

Donald Trump's incoming border czar said he would prioritize locating or rescuing 300,000 unaccounted-for children who entered the United States as illegal immigrants and are at risk of exploitation.

"The third rail is we got over 300,000 missing children," Tom Homan said Monday, likely referring to a government report issued earlier this year. "Over half a million children have been trafficked into the United States. This administration released them to unvetted sponsors, and they can't find 300,000. And based on three-and-a-half decades, some of these children are in forced labor."

Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general released a report finding that 323,000 illegal immigrant children are unaccounted for inside the United States. As of May 2024, more than 32,000 children who were served notices to appear in court did not appear, while the safety of an additional 291,000 could not be verified because they were not placed into removal proceedings, making monitoring their status challenging.

Trump picked Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer for for secretary of labor.

Chavez-DeRemer, who lost her reelection bid earlier this month, is seen as an unusually union-friendly voice for a Republican administration. She was among only three Republicans in the House, for instance, to co-sponsor the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, which would have made joining unions easier, boosted penalties for employers that break labor laws, and weakened "right-to-work" laws.

The Teamsters lobbied Trump to choose Chavez-DeRemer, Politico reported. A Teamsters spokesperson called her an "excellent choice" for the role. :thumbup2:

I think the Teamsters like Trump because he's definitely not a Washington insider who'll gladly sell out to corporations at the first opportunity.

Incoming border czar Tom Homan said if Denver Mayor Mike Johnston (D) is willing to go to jail for interfering with and obstructing President-elect Donald Trump's administration's mass deportation plans, then he is willing to put Johnston in jail.

Johnston made those comments last week after declaring he would use the Denver Police Department to stop federal and military assets from entering the county to carry out the deportations. Johnston did not fully walk back that threat, saying he does not want an armed conflict with the U.S. government but that the city will find ways to resist Trump's plan.

Throw the Denver mayor in jail and throw away the key.

The new chair of the Senate Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Caucus has identified about one trillion dollars in potential federal spending cuts.

In a letter sent on Monday to DOGE advisors Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) outlined her "instruction manual" of ways to eliminate government waste.

"With $3 billion of interest being added to our national debt every day, the longer we delay tackling the problem, the further away the finish line gets," Ernst wrote in the letter. "To give you a head start, here are a trillion dollars' worth of ideas for trimming the fat and reducing red ink."

Ernst pointed out that the cost of maintaining and leasing government buildings costs $8 billion every year.
She noted that the federal workforce still works remotely and "not a single headquarters of a major government agency or department in the nation's capital is even half full."

Ernst targeted the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in her blueprint of cost-cutting targets. She cited her audit of the tax collection agency which revealed that 5,800 employees and contractors owe nearly $50 million themselves.

he lawmaker also called for the DOGE to act as the "Grinch" on the government's end-of-year "use it or lose it" spending spree which she called "Christmas in September." The senator said that Sept. 20 every year marks the deadline for the federal government to spend money left over at the end of a fiscal year.
"In the rush to use it before they lose it, $53 billion was recently spent in a single week! The September spending sprees of the past included impulse purchases on $4.6 million of lobster tail and crab and $2.1 million for games and toys, including nearly $12,000 for a foosball table," the letter read.

Additionally, Ernst cited billions of dollars of unspent COVID funds for potential savings.

The lawmaker included in her lengthy cost-cutting list United Nations payments and what she described as bogus bonuses and "welfare checks" for politicians with presidential ambitions.

Meanwhile, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Monday pointed out that Musk and Ramaswamy will serve as outside government advisors who will provide recommendations to the cost-cutting panel, but Congress ultimately appropriates federal money.

Trump's Plan Is Already Working: Philippines Ambassador Urges Illegal Filipinos to Self-Deport Before It's Too Late


According to KNBC in Los Angeles, Jose Manuel Ramualdez, the Philippines' Ambassador to the United States, has advised Filipino illegal immigrants residing in the U.S. to leave the country before the incoming Trump administration can deport them.

"My advice to them is to immediately leave voluntarily because once you're deported, you can never come back to the United States," Ramuladez said in a recent news conference.

The ambassador did not exactly have his facts correct. Generally speaking, deportation means at least a five-year ban on re-entry into the United States. Unauthorized re-entry following deportation carries the possibility of imprisonment.

Still, Ramuladez's comments had a salutary effect.

According to a corresponding video report from KNBC, Romeo Hebron, executive director of the Filipino Migrant Center in Long Beach, California, Ramuladez's warning triggered a flood of calls and walk-ins to the migrant center.

Hebron later estimated that one-fourth of the roughly four million Filipinos in the U.S. qualify as "undocumented."

Trump delivered a stark ultimatum to Hamas on Monday, calling for the immediate release of hostages abducted during the October 7, 2023, terrorist attack against Israel.

Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, "Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East - But it's all talk, and no action!"

"Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity," Trump declared.

It is believed that three American hostages — Eden Alexander, 21; Keith Siegel, 65; and Sagui Dekel-Chen, 35 — are still alive and being held by Hamas more than a year later.

Trump's incoming administration has reportedly devised a workaround to deport illegal aliens whose home countries are unwilling to take them back.

Trump's administration is currently compiling a list of countries for deporting illegal aliens should their countries of origin decline to accept deportation flights from the United States, according to a Thursday report from NBC News.

Sources with knowledge of the incoming administration's strategy informed NBC News that illegal aliens could potentially be sent to other countries for deportation.

Countries on the list reportedly include Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas, Panama, and Grenada, with the possibility of more being added.

A source told the news outlet that the incoming administration has already contacted government officials from the countries listed to negotiate arrangements for deportation flights.

Mexico's president and the Bahamas' prime minister told the outlet that they do not want to accept illegal aliens.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for Trump's administration, told NBC News, "President Trump was given a mandate by the American people to stop the invasion of illegal immigrants, secure the border, and deport dangerous criminals and terrorists that make our communities less safe. He will deliver."

Trump announced the creation of a new government department to seek tariff payments from foreign governments.

Trump called the new department the External Revenue Service, in reference to the Internal Revenue Service that manages federal tax payments from U.S. citizens.

For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Through soft and pathetically weak Trade agreements, the American Economy has delivered growth and prosperity to the World, while taxing ourselves," read the message on social media.

"It is time for that to change," he added.

"I am today announcing that I will create the EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE to collect our Tariffs, Duties, and all Revenue that come from Foreign sources," Trump said. "We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share."

He declared that Jan. 20, the first day of his second term, would be the "birth date" of the External Revenue Service.
