Former CIA chief John Brennan is among the many ‘spies who lied’ that had their security clearances revoked by Trump this week.
Brennan ran to MSNBC to complain, because what else is he going to do?
He used his appearance in an attempt to rewrite history, claiming that his security clearance was only ever used to advise the government on certain affairs. He also completely misrepresents the famous letter about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Breitbart News reports:
During a recent interview on MSNBC, Brennan criticized Trump for preventing him from giving the president advice on national security.
“The only reason why I still had a security clearance, as I have for the past number of years since I left government service, was for the benefit of the government, so that if the CIA or another government agency wanted to call me in to discuss the classified matter, they could do that,” Brennan said.
“It was really for the government’s benefit,” he claimed. “It was to facilitate those classified discussions with myself as well as with former directors as well as other former members of the intelligence community that had those clearances.”
Brennan said Trump’s executive order stripping him of the clearance was “bizarre” because Trump allegedly “misrepresented” his claim that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.
After the “laptop from hell” story broke in 2020, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter that insinuated Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation. The letter was peddled by Politico under the title “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.”
Here’s the video:

America is better off as a country now that this man has been stripped of his power. It figures that MSNBC is upset about it.

During an interview on the far-left talk show The View, Washington Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde attempted to justify her political sermon by claiming it was “a truth” that needed to be said.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that President Trump attended the Washington National Cathedral for what was supposed to be a unifying interfaith ceremony, a tradition that dates back to 1933.
However, Budde, who has a long history of leftist activism, turned the sacred event into a platform to push radical talking points and misrepresent Trump’s policies.
Budde brazenly implied that President Trump was heartless toward the LGBTQ community and illegal immigrants, delivering a sermon laced with divisive rhetoric.
“Let me make one final plea, Mr. President,” Budde began. “As you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.”
“In the name of a loving God, to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now, she stated. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families, some who fear for their lives.”
“And the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings…They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation,” she added.
“The vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors…May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away,” she concluded.
President Trump took to social media to respond to the so-called bishop’s disgraceful remarks.
In a blistering rebuke, Trump wrote:
The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way.
She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart.
She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people.
Many were deposited from jails and mental institutions. It is a giant crime wave that is taking place in the USA.
Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!
Archbishop Vigano also blasted Budde in a statement on X.
““Bishopess” Budde is not the only one preaching welcome and compassion for migrants (illegal immigrants and criminals who violate the Nation’s borders, spreading violence and chaos) and for “gay, lesbian and trans children” (corrupted by perverted and pedophile adults to be their docile prey): together with “Mrs.” Budde – and not too far away in terms of theological positions – there are the exponents of the Bergoglian church who infest and occupy the Catholic Church,” said Vigano.
Budde appeared on ABC’s “The View,” where she defended her sermon as a necessary truth.
During an interview on the far-left talk show “The View,” Budde defended her sermon, claiming it emphasized “respecting the honor and dignity of every human being, basic honesty and humility.”
She added, “What I said and I mean, how could it not be politicized? We’re in a hyper-political climate. One of the things I caution about is the culture of contempt in which we live that immediately rushes to the worst possible interpretations of what people are saying and to put them in categories such as the ones you just described. That’s part of the air we breathe now. I was trying to speak a truth that I felt needed to be said, but to do it as respectful and kind a way as I could. Also to bring other voices into the conversation, which voices that had not been heard in the public space for some time.”

A group of pro-Hamas student protesters recently invaded a Jewish history class at Columbia University with their faces covered with keffiyehs.
Over the last two years, progressive students at various schools have taken up the cause of protesting Israel and have come off as total antisemites in the process. Columbia University has been one of the worst schools for this.
You really have to wonder what kind of upbringing these students had. Do you think their parents are proud of this behavior?
The College Fix reported:
‘Crush Zionism’: Pro-Hamas protestors barge into Israeli history class at Columbia
Anti-Israel protestors barged into an Israeli history class at Columbia University on Tuesday to pass out pro-Hamas flyers that showed the Star of David being destroyed.
“Four student activists, donning keffiyehs, marched into the class, ‘History of Modern Israel,’ filming themselves as they recited a script, passed out propaganda, and harassed students, most of whom are Jewish, according to a student in the class,” The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Columbia student Elisha Baker posted a video of the incident to X.
“So much for ‘academic freedom.’ Welcome to Columbia, 2025!” the student wrote.
The video shows an Israeli professor, Avi Shilon, telling the protesters to leave. “This is a civil rights violation. We’re trying to learn,” he said.
Baker also posted photos of the flyers the protestors distributed, which read, “The enemy will not see tomorrow,” “Burn Zionism to the ground,” and “Crush Zionism.” One flyer showed an Israeli flag on fire.

President-elect Donald Trump speaks as Senator John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) looks on, after a meeting with Republicans in Congress at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. January 8, 2025.
An aide to Speaker Johnson reportedly urged Republicans against subpoenaing January 6 ‘star witness’ Cassidy Hutchinson last June as part of their investigation into J6 to prevent the release of sexually explicit texts that lawmakers sent her, according to the Washington Post.
WaPo’s report comes as GOP-led House Committees are preparing to launch a new investigation into members of the January 6 Committee even though Biden pardoned all of them before leaving office.
Lawmakers are gearing up to issue subpoenas to January 6 Committee members and possibly witnesses such as Cassidy Hutchinson.
NEW: Rep. William Timmons (R-SC) says pardoned J6 Select Committee members should “expect a subpoena soon.”

However, a new scandal may be brewing because lawmakers allegedly asked Cassidy Hutchinson for sexual favors and all of the explicit text messages would have been released if she was subpoenaed for documents and communications back in June.
It is unclear which lawmakers sent Cassidy Hutchinson sexually explicit messages or if they exist at all.
Without mentioning names or details, the Washington Post claims it has reviewed at least one written correspondence.

Rep. Loudermilk told reporters that Cassidy Hutchinson was not subpoenaed in June because her lawyers were cooperating with his investigation.
“I didn’t receive any direct communications,” Loudermilk said, according to The Hill. “As I’ve said in the past, we didn’t see a need to subpoena because her attorneys were cooperating with us.”
“We had numerous meetings since I reported directly to the Speaker’s office in the investigation because I didn’t have subpoena power of potential subpoenas going forward. So I don’t recall any specific, anyone saying do not subpoena,” Loudermilk said. “I mean, there were times that we laid out, hey, here’s a list of people we may subpoena or could. But as you guys know, the threat of subpoena is always more powerful than an actual subpoena.”
Speaker Johnson also said that Cassidy Hutchinson was not issued a subpoena because she was volunteering to participate.
Cassidy Hutchinson testified in June 2022 that Trump got into “the beast” after his speech at the Ellipse on January 6 with the belief that he would be driven to the Capitol.
According to Hutchinson, who received this information from Tony Ornato, the Assistant Director for the Secret Service, Trump grew angry after he was informed that he was being driven back to the West Wing.
According to Ornato, Trump shouted, “I’m the f*cking president! Take me up to the Capitol now!”
Hutchinson alleged that at this point Trump reached up to the driver, grabbed the steering wheel and tried to commandeer the presidential limo.
Hutchinson then claimed Secret Service Agent Bobby Engel grabbed Trump’s arm and took his hand off the steering wheel.
Of course, this was all a lie.
The House oversight subcommittee, headed by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), later found that unreleased testimony by four White House employees present for Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, speech at the Ellipse “directly contradicted claims made by Cassidy Hutchinson. She made it all up. The woman should be hauled into court!
Later reports found that Liz Cheney coached Cassidy Hutchinson before her testimony. Another crime.
The Gateway Pundit compiled a list of Cassidy Hutchinson’s 9 confirmed lies from her debunked congressional testimony.

President Donald Trump stunned the room into silence at a recent World Economic Forum (WEF) summit when he publicly confronted Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan over political bias against conservatives.
Trump called out the banking giant, accusing it of denying services to conservatives.
“And by the way,” Trump said, pointing directly at Moynihan, “speaking of you, and you’ve done a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your bank to Conservatives.”
“Many Conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank. And that included a place called Bank of America.”
“They don’t take Conservatives’ business. And I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and [Jamie Dimon] and everybody, I hope you’re going to open your banks to Conservatives because what you’re doing is wrong.”
The room fell into an awkward silence as Moynihan, clearly caught off guard, scrambled for a response. Instead of addressing the serious accusation head-on, Moynihan attempted to shift the conversation, awkwardly replying:
“Mr. President, I’ll say that your friend Gianni said hello, told me to tell you hello, and we look forward to sponsoring the World Cup when it comes both this summer for the club and next year. So thank you for getting that for the United States.”

Shortly after Trump’s bombshell remarks and shaming the CEO, Bank of America rushed to do damage control, releasing a statement denying any political bias.
“Bank of America serves more than 70 million clients and we welcome conservatives. We would never close accounts for political reasons and don’t have a political litmus test.”
— Bank of America (@BankofAmerica) January 23, 2025
But conservatives aren’t buying it.
Last year, a coalition of fifteen Republican attorneys general sent a scathing letter to Moynihan, accusing the banking giant of “de-banking” individuals based on their religious and political beliefs. The letter called out Bank of America for its apparent pattern of discrimination.
“Your discriminatory behavior is a serious threat to free speech and religious freedom, is potentially illegal, and is causing political and regulatory backlash,” the letter sent Monday states. “Your bank needs to be transparent with and assure us, its shareholders, and others that it will not continue to de-bank customers for their speech or religious exercise,” the AGs wrote.
Also, Eastman, who was disbarred by a left-wing judge in California over his efforts to expose massive fraud that marred the 2020 presidential election, had bank accounts with Bank of America and USAA closed without warning.
Both of these accounts are federally insured and received massive taxpayer bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis. Yet despite their links to the federal government, Eastman revealed that both of his accounts were closed within the space of two months.
“We had Bank of America accounts for about 40 years. But just because of their wokeness we kind of quit a couple of years ago, using them much. They’ve got physical locations and therefore easy ATM, so we kept our accounts there, but we didn’t use much. And about four or five years ago, we opened USAA bank accounts and we were using those as our primaries,” Eastman said.

Independent journalist Christina Urso, known professionally as Radix Verum, has reported that Bank of America abruptly terminated her bank account.
Urso, who has been critical in her reporting on various issues including the FBI’s involvement in the Governor Whitmer kidnapping case, took to social media platform X to voice her concerns and frustrations.
“So Bank of America has decided to ‘terminate’ their business relationship with me. Their ‘risk department’ made this determination for literally no reason. I have been with them for years. This is clearly because of my documentary and my critical reporting.
“They won’t tell me why. They won’t allow me access to my bank account or to the funds. They are telling me I will get a ‘check in the mail’ but they won’t say when I can expect it. I am traveling at the end of this month for my documentary. Now I have no funds.”
Gen. Mike Flynn also shared his experience with the tyrannical bank.
“This is total bullshit. My wife and I lost our accounts with the Bank of Un-America. In nearly 30 years, never missed a mortgage payment, near perfect credit score, always paid my bills…they dropped us without warning. Strongest recommendation, dump them and use a credit union instead,” Flynn wrote on X.

The Georgia Department of Agriculture announced the suspension of all poultry-related activities in the state after a case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza was detected in a commercial facility.
The positive case of HPAI, found by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service at a commercial poultry operation in Elbert County, Georgia, was the first discovered in a commercial operation in the Peach State, according to a Jan. 17 notice from the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
That means all “in-state poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, meets, and sales are suspended until further notice.”
“For the first time since the ongoing, nationwide outbreak began in 2022, HPAI has been confirmed in a commercial poultry operation in the state of Georgia,” Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler Harper said in the announcement.
He acknowledged the economic harm that the suspension will cause the state and its residents.
“This is a serious threat to Georgia’s number onr industry and the livelihoods of thousands of Georgians who make their living in our state’s poultry industry,” he added.
“We are working around the clock to mitigate any further spread of the disease and ensure that normal poultry activities in Georgia can resume as quickly as possible.”
The commercial facility with the positive case noticed “clinical signs of Avian Influenza in their flock” on Jan. 15.
Agriculture officials collected samples on Jan. 16 and took them to the Georgia Poultry Laboratory Network for examination.
The positive case was confirmed later that day, after which the U.S. Department of Agriculture was alerted.
The state agriculture department’s Emergency Management and State Agricultural Response Teams deployed to the facility to “conduct depopulation, cleaning and disinfecting, and disposal operations” on Jan. 17.
The facility “had approximately 45,000 broiler breeders onsite,” a reference to the number of female and male chickens raised to produce fertilized eggs for hatcheries.
“As a result of this detection, poultry exhibitions, shows, swaps, and sales (flea market or auction market) in the State of Georgia are suspended until further notice,” the announcement added.
“Notifications will be issued when the listed activities may resume in Georgia.”
Every commercial poultry operation within 6.2 miles of the facility that reported the infection were “placed under quarantine and will undergo surveillance testing for a period of at least two weeks.”
The International Production & Processing Expo, the largest annual poultry, feed, and meat technology exposition in the world, was scheduled for the last week of January in Atlanta, Georgia.
But the event can proceed as planned, according to Harper, since “no live birds will be present at the Expo,” per a statement shared on the conference’s website.

CNN’s Jim Acosta is reportedly fuming over his demotion to the network’s late-night graveyard shift and has threatened to walk away from the struggling network altogether.
This development comes as far-left CNN undergoes a significant restructuring under CEO Mark Thompson.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Acosta, formerly CNN’s White House Correspondent and a prominent anti-Trump activist, may soon be getting a downgrade.
Acosta currently hosts CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta on weekdays at 10 am.
Yet, according to ex-CNN reporter Oliver Darcy, who now runs a media-focused newsletter called Status News, CNN chief Mark Thompson wants to move Acosta’s show to midnight, when most Americans have already gone to bed.
“The offer caught Acosta off guard. He had no reason to believe that his current show would be on the chopping block. In fact, his ratings have historically been some of the network’s strongest, both when he was anchoring on the weekends and now at 10am during the weekdays,” far-left Darcy wrote.
He continued, “On some days, Acosta even out-rates some of CNN’s prime time programs. So why force him to move his show to the 12am hour, a time slot occupied by virtually zero other hosts in the cable news business? The move would effectively exile Acosta to the Siberia of television news. He’d be manning down a shift when much of the country is fast asleep and viewership is at its lowest.”
Now, TVLine has confirmed that CNN’s long-running evening show, The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, will be moved from its traditional 6 p.m. ET slot to a new home at 10 a.m.
As part of the network’s latest programming shake-up, the show will expand to two hours, and CNN’s chief investigative correspondent, Pamela Brown, will join Blitzer as co-host.
The time slot change means The Situation Room will replace Jim Acosta’s current morning show. CNN has confirmed that they are in “active discussions” with Acosta about his future role at the network.
New York Post reported:
Acosta’s days at CNN may be numbered as the former White House correspondent known for his combative coverage of President Trump could be heading for the exits rather than accept a move that would see him broadcast a nightly show starting at midnight, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Another CNN staffer told Fox News Digital that Acosta was “getting hosed.”
“Acosta is a talented broadcaster who could handle any slot on the network,” the unnamed staffer told Fox News Digital.
“The midnight thing is shocking [but] it is what it is.”
This week, Acosta found himself in the headlines again after Rep. Tim Burchett delivered a scathing reality check, dismantling the CNN anchor’s anti-Trump rhetoric when he brought up the issue of J6 pardons.
“This is not Fox, congressman,” Acosta whined. “You can’t just spin a tale and pull the wool over people’s eyes. This is CNN.”
“This is the news. We are asking you to come on and tell the truth.”
Upon hearing this, Burchett gave him a devastating reality check regarding the failing news network’s dismal ratings.
“And that’s why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, Spongebob reruns right now. Jim,” Burchett retorted.

Is Kamala Harris headed for a divorce?
Last week, the tabloids were buzzing amid rumors about Michelle and Barack Obama’s marriage.
Now DC insiders are whispering about Kamala Harris’s marriage to Doug Emhoff after he accepted a job with a New York-based law firm and reportedly toured a luxury Manhattan apartment.
According to The Daily Mail, Kamala Harris blamed her “dead weight” husband, Doug Emhoff, for her crushing election loss.
Recall that Kamala Harris dragged her effeminate husband, Doug Emhoff, out on the campaign stump during the 2024 election.
Harris and Emhoff had an awkward exchange over a bag of Doritos.
“Awww Dougie, there they are!” Harris said to her husband as he handed her a bag of Doritos.
Apparently, ‘Dougie’ dragged Kamala Harris down during the 2024 election, and now she’s ready to get rid of him since he no longer serves a political purpose.
The Daily Mail reported:
The presidential election might not be the only big loss for Kamala Harris.
If reports are true, Kamala is debating whether to drop some ‘dead weight’ named Doug Emhoff.
Yes, America’s self-branded ‘wife guy’ may soon be, as Kamala herself would say, ‘unburdened by what has been’ — namely, a marriage of 10 years.
Our erstwhile former Veep, it’s been claimed, has added her troublesome husband to the list of reasons why she lost to President Trump.
‘There’s plenty of blame to go around as far as Kamala is concerned,’ an insider told the Mail, ‘and Doug has his share.’
You’ll find no blame here for Kamala herself, of course. None.
Not for the word salads, nor the inability to cogently articulate a single thought, nor her apparent lack of original ideas or intellectual heft.

Two former Politico reporters have revealed how the company would seek to kill negative stories about Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Marc Caputo and Tara Palmeri, who now work for Axios and Puck News, discussed on her podcast Somebody’s Gotta Win how the mainstream media had lost credibility and public trust.
Among the reasons for this they say was the determination to label things as “misinformation” in order to protect Joe Biden and the Democratic Party ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Some of the stories that were spiked by the bosses at Politico included the notorious Hunter Biden laptop story and evidence about his corrupt business dealings with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Here is a transcript of their exchange:
CAPUTO: Politico did that terrible, ill-fated headline: 51 intelligence agents, or former intelligence agents, say that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation, or bore the hallmarks of disinformation.
Turns out that story was closer to disinformation because the Hunter Biden laptop appeared to be true.
PALMIERI: But then Facebook also pulled all stories down about the Hunter Biden laptop, and I think Twitter did at the same time, too.
CAPUTO: Correct, they punished The New York Post, that didn’t help. I mean, Politico, my former employer and I knew at the time, didn’t do itself any favors. I was covering Biden at the time, and I remember coming to my editor and saying, ‘Hey, we need to write about the Hunter Biden laptop.’
And I was told this came from on high at Politico: Don’t write about the laptop, don’t talk about the laptop, don’t tweet about the laptop. And the only thing Politico wound up writing was that piece that called it disinformation, which charitably could be called misinformation, at the least.”
PALMIERI: Yeah, I mean, I had a hard time — you know I wrote some pretty serious reporting on Hunter Biden, which actually ended up getting him prosecuted — the story on the gun” replied Palmeri, delving into her own trouble to publish stories that could hurt the elder Biden’s political prospects.
CAPUTO: Yeah! And I remember you consulted with me cause you had, you did the original report on the gun and you came to me like, ‘How do I write about this?’ I’m like, ‘Honestly, I don’t know.’
PALMIERI: Cause it was hard to get it done. I spent three months on it, I went to the laptop shop, and I did all of the reporting in Delaware, and I did all of that. But yeah it had, it had to be like much, it had to be 100% nailed down.
I had everything, you know, the police reports, every, like, you know, I’m a solid reporter. But I do wonder if it could have, if it would have been published a little quicker if it was a different type of story. It was the beginning of his administration, it was a honeymoon period — you know what I mean?”
CAPUTO: Since we’re spilling tea about our former employer, I still have a copy of the story on my external hard drive. In 2019, a rival presidential Democratic campaign of Joe Biden’s gave to me the tax lien — the oppo research — the tax lien on Hunter Biden for the period of time that he worked at Burisma.
And I wrote what would have been a classic story saying, you know, ‘The former vice president’s son was slapped with a big tax lien for the period of time that he worked for this controversial Ukrainian oil concern, or natural gas concern, which is haunting his father on the campaign trail.’
That story was killed by the editors, and they gave no explanation for that either. So that general experience, you know, obviously the public doesn’t know about those things, but as a reporter having witnessed the way in which the two candidates —
PALMIERI: We just get called, like, ‘the terrible mainstream media.’ It’s like you don’t understand the process there.
CAPUTO: Well, you also don’t understand the dumb decisions of cowardly editors that are made above us.
Watch the exchange below:
In essence, Politico acted far more as an organ of the Democratic Party propaganda machine than its supposed role as an impartial news outlet.
Now that the Biden era is over and the media have lost whatever remaining credibility they still had, we can expect to see many more revelations about how supposedly neutral networks and publishers helped tip the scales in favor of Joe Biden over the coming months and years.

While a good deal of the problems facing British society today are due to leftist Labour policies, other fundamental issues have been piling on for a long time, including during the last 14 years under Tory rule.
One such unfolding catastrophe stems from the Globalist pet project of unchecked mass migration.
Now, the situation has escalated to a point where the number of illegals is reaching unimaginable levels.
The Telegraph reported:
“London is home to as many as 585,000 illegal migrants, equivalent to one in 12 of the city’s population, according to a previously confidential report.”

The failure to secure Britain’s borders leads to unprecedented pressure on public services such as schools and healthcare.
This new estimate comes from a study commissioned by Thames Water.
“In total, there are estimated to be more than one million illegal migrants in the UK, with 60 per cent of those in the capital.”
1 in 12 of those in London are illegal immigrants.
That’s 585,000 people.
Equivalent to the entire population of Manchester.

Some migration experts even suggest that the actual immigration figures could be much higher since the study uses some data from 2017 – before the surge in illegals crossing the Channel.
“Alp Mehmet, chairman of think tank Migration Watch, said: ‘A population underestimate on this scale has colossal implications for utility and local authority planning. Utilities, housing, the NHS, GP surgeries and schools will all come under severe pressure, further risking community cohesion’.”

The libertarian President of Argentina, Javier Milei, returned to Davos, Switzerland, for a second time, one year after standing up practically alone against Globalism, leftism and wokeism.
But this time around, the world has changed – and there was much to celebrate in Milei’s speech.
The ‘global hegemony’ of left-wing politics and ideology is ‘starting to crumble’, Milei told the World Economic Forum today (23).
CNBC reported:
“’What once seemed like a global hegemony of the ‘woke’ left in politics, educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations or even in forums like Davos, has begun to crumble’, right-wing leader Milei, who took office in 2023, told business and political leaders in Davos, Switzerland.”
Watch: the MSM goes crazy with the arrival of ‘lion’ Milei in Davos.

Milei celebrated his alliances with other like-minded leaders.
“’Over the course of this year, I have found allies in this fight for the cause of freedom in every corner of the world, from the amazing [tech billionaire] Elon Musk to that fierce Italian lady [Prime Minister] Giorgia Meloni, from [President Nayib] Bukele in El Salvador to Viktor Orban in Hungary’, he said, also namedropping Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump among his allies.
‘Slowly, an international alliance has been forming among all those nations who want to be free and believe in the ideas of liberty’, he said.”
Watch: “And they say nothing when a man disguises himself as a woman and kills his rival in a boxing ring, or when a prisoner claims to be a woman and ends up raping any woman who crosses his path in prison.”
Milei did it again.
He went to the WEF to tell them to go fuck themselves basically.

“’Although hope has been rekindled, it is our moral duty and responsibility to dismantle the ideological edifice of sickly wokeism’, he stated.”

This is the week of the inauguration of Donald Trump, but it also coincides, not just with Martin Luther King’s birthday—on the same day as the inauguration, but also the meeting of the world’s elite at Davos, Switzerland, lorded over by 86-year-old Klaus Schwab, who, created this organization.
If you don’t know what Davos is, don’t worry about it. It’s not that important, in some ways. I mean, it’s not doing a lot of good for the rest of us.
But it is important because it has aspirations that are quite dangerous. Basically, its premise is that if we got together all of the “smart people”—those are people who have letters after their name, or they live in the right ZIP codes, or they’re wealthy, or they’re professors, or they’re key government officials—and we put them all in this beautiful, idyllic place, they can think up utopian dreams that then can be, from the top down, implemented by hoi polloi: the many.
And they have actual disgust for elected governments because you see elected governments make mistakes. They elect people and then they do the wrong thing. They have these 19th-century borders. They believe in legal-only immigration. They don’t believe in redistribution of money. They believe in free market capitalism.
They are opposed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. And they don’t want to put mandates on corporations—ESG—about the environment and social questions and governance questions. They let the market adjudicate, which you can’t do.
Now the reason that they’re really angry this week is Donald Trump was elected in the United States. And he is a Jacksonian, populist, nationalist, who believes that the U.S. Constitution and the creation of this last great hope for Earth is unique and singular. And he trusts it and its Constitution more than he does these Davos international organizations, who, remember, are not elected by anybody. They’re appointed.
So, Donald Trump immediately got out of the International Criminal Court. This was an international body that, if implemented—in the case of the United States—fully, it would say that a major or colonel in the United States could be prosecuted if he issued an order that they felt was inhumane.
He got out of the World Health Organization. That was pretty much a Chinese-dominated world organization that functioned during the COVID crisis, largely, with the help of Anthony Fauci and Peter Daszak to suppress the truth that that virus was created in the Wuhan lab. May or may not have been a biological weapon. May or may not have escaped naturally by mistake. But in any case, Donald Trump poses the threat to the Davos crowd.
And more importantly, his threat, it is amplified because it works. People who have followed the model of Milton Friedman and free market economics in Europe, in Eastern Europe, in Argentina, and the United States are doing very well.
When the EU was created, its [gross domestic product] was almost—25 years ago—the same as the United States. And then it started to implement these Davos-like issues and laws and policy, and now it has almost a little more than half, half the GDP of the United States, and only about 60% of the per capita income.
So, the people at Davos know that their socialist, globalist model doesn’t work. And they know that people don’t want to listen to them anymore because when people adopt these views, their economy slows, they get poorer, their borders are overrun. Illegal immigrants come and cannot be assimilated or integrated. And the people feel they have less security, prosperity, and freedom.
Rather than addressing those concerns—and so having at Davos—why is Donald Trump being elected? Why was [Argentine President Javier] Milei? Maybe we can learn from these people because they represent elections and freedom.
No, it’s Donald Trump. How dare you say this? Milei is wrong. And so, they too, as I’ve said in an earlier broadcast, they have forgotten nothing and learned nothing.
Each year, Davos becomes more and more irrelevant. And the people who oppose them and put their trust in the people, in the U.S. Constitution, in freedom and individual liberty do better and better.

Rep. Brian Babin has introduced a bill that would end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents of illegal aliens.
Automatic birthright citizenship, regardless of parent’s legal status, is “one of the abused aspects of our immigration system,” Babin, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal.
Babin introduced the bill Tuesday, just one day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending automatic citizenship for children born to parents who are in the country illegally.
It was great to speak with @DailySignal on the Birthright Citizenship Act.
— Brian Babin (@RepBrianBabin) January 23, 2025
I hope you'll give it a watch: https://t.co/5ZxOAQuNNQ
Trump’s “executive order to end birthright citizenship marks a critical step forward, and now with the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2025, we can solidify these reforms into lasting law and codify them,” Babin said Thursday at a press conference with a group of GOP lawmakers who are backing the bill.
The legality of Trump’s executive order and the Birthright Citizenship Act hinge on the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
Trump’s executive order contends that the 14th Amendment excludes from birthright citizenship those who are born in the U.S. but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Those who have entered the country illegally are not subject to the same “jurisdiction” as those who have entered the country legally, according to the Trump administration and the GOP lawmakers supporting the Birthright Citizenship Act.
Rep. Mike Collins, R-Ga., said at Thursday’s press conference that many of the illegal aliens having babies in America are “not over here on vacation and just happen to go into labor. They’re coming across that border down there illegally, and there using us an international piggy bank.”
Texas GOP Congressman Randy Weber predicted Thursday that “the radical left is going to lose their freaking minds over this.”
The ink on Trump’s executive order was barely dry before the American Civil Liberties Union, along with several other left-leaning immigration groups, filed lawsuits to stop Trump’s executive action on Monday. In total, 22 states are suing to the Trump administration over the order to end automatic birthright citizenship.
A federal judge Thursday temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens.
U.S. District Judge John Coughenour called Trump’s order “blatantly unconstitutional,” granting the request made by Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon to place a temporary restraining order on Trump’s order until the courts can determine the constitutionality of the action.
“I welcome” the lawsuits, Babin told The Daily Signal, adding, “We want the Supreme Court to hear this case and give us a final interpretation of the 14th Amendment.”
Babin said he is convinced that the 14th Amendment has been wrongfully interpreted to automatically grant citizenship to anyone who is born in America. The 14th Amendment has become a “green light and an open invitation for people from all over the world to flood our system and to be able to gain and exploit this loophole,” he said.

Real America’s Voice correspondent Ben Bergquam and Chicago local Terry Newsome of the Behind Enemy Lines podcast brought the fire to a press conference earlier where Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson attacked President Trump’s plan to fight back against sanctuary cities and illegal aliens.
During the presser at a West Side lighting manufacturing plant, Pritzker and Johnson reportedly preached about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and pledged to fight off Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
This comes in response to President Trump’s recent Executive Actions to secure the border and abolish wasteful DEI programs in our government. As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump signed a Memorandum placing all federal Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) employees on administrative leave, effective Wednesday at 5 pm, pending the termination of these programs.
Additionally, Trump’s mass deportation efforts have kicked off with Border Czar Tom Homan announcing that illegal alien raids were underway as of Tuesday, leading to the arrest of over 300 violent alien offenders, including murderers and child rapists, by Wednesday. Trump has also sent 1,500 additional Army National Guard and Reserve troops to the Southern Border, adding to the thousands already stationed there.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a large-scale raid in Boston, targeting criminal aliens, including MS-13 gang members, murder suspects, and a Haitian gang member with 18 prior convictions. Cullen Linebarger reported for us earlier that one of the captured fugitives freaked out as the Fox News crew continued to film, and he gave a shout-out to the individuals who made his life in America possible: Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
More from FOX:
These are the people who Chicago officials care more about protecting than American citizens, some of whom are being raped, robbed, and murdered by these animals.
Bergquam and Newsome have done extensive work exposing the trafficking and harboring of criminal illegal aliens and Tren De Araugua gang members in the sanctuary city of Chicago.
The duo confronted the Chicago Mayor and Governor Pritzker during their press conference on Thursday. Pritzker answered one question from Bergquam but refused to allow him to ask more.
"Governor, real quick, the amount of money that you've spent on harboring illegals over the last four years and protecting them now, and after Mayor Johnson's email that just went out yesterday, saying they're going to spend more money on protecting illegals at the expense of the American citizens, in particular, the west side and the south side; we've got representatives here. I've got Bob Israel here. Why not invest that money there?" Bergquam asked Pritzker before attempting to shoot another question: "Are you prepared to be arrested if you don't follow President Trump's orders?"
Pritzker laughed and shrugged off Bergquam as he asked the questions before he lectured about following the law, as his state refuses to do.
Pritzker: [inaudible] in the state of Illinois is about protecting the residents of the state of Illinois. That is what it is about: the citizens. We will stand up for anybody who is standing up for the law. We follow the law in the state of Illinois. I'm very concerned that Donald Trump and the federal government is not going to be following the law. Indeed, they have proposed getting rid of birthright citizenship for many families. Imagine. We all ought to stand up for the Constitution. This president does not.
Pritzker then ignored Newsome, asking, "What about the Venezuelans? Why don't you collaborate with ICE with the Tren De Aragua and the Venezuelans?"
After remarks from Mayor Brandon Johnson, the press conference ended, and the Johnson ran from Bergquam as he asked, "What about the illegals that are victimizing the citizens? Mayor? Mayor Johnson, what about the illegals that are victimizing American citizens?"
Bergquam then confronted Pritzker, asking, "How much money was spent on protecting illegals?" and "Are you receiving any funds from cartels, Sir? Are you receiving any money from the cartels or is Mayor Johnson receiving any money from the cartels?"
Watch the full confrontation below:

Trump’s incoming Secret Service Director Sean Curran is expected to clean house on his first day on the job, according to Real Clear Politics.
“On incoming Secret Service Director Sean Curran’s first day in the new role, 5-10 senior leadership officials, including former Director Ron Rowe, were warned that they would either be fired, moved, or pressed into retirement, according to three sources in the Secret Service community,” RCP reporter Susan Crabtree said on Thursday.
President Trump on Wednesday announced Sean Curran, one of the agents who surrounded him following the Butler assassination attempt, as the new Secret Service Director.
“It is my great honor to appoint Sean Curran as the next Director of the United States Secret Service. Sean is a Great Patriot, who has protected my family over the past few years, and that is why I trust him to lead the Brave Men and Women of the United States Secret Service,” Trump said on Truth Social on Wednesday.
“Sean has 23 years of Law Enforcement experience, starting his career in Secret Service in 2001, as a Special Agent in the Newark Field Office, where he conducted protection, intelligence, investigations, recruitment, and logistics support for the district. During my First Term, Sean served as the Assistant Special Agent in Charge of the Presidential Protective Division, with direct oversight and responsibility of multiple protectees, and enhanced security plans for my residences,” Trump said.
“Sean has distinguished himself as a brilliant leader, who is capable of directing and leading operational security plans for some of the most complex Special Security Events in the History of our Country, and the World. He proved his fearless courage when he risked his own life to help save mine from an assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. I have complete and total confidence in Sean to make the United States Secret Service stronger than ever before,” Trump added.
Secret Service Director appointments do not require a Senate confirmation vote.
Curran will replace Ron Rowe who was serving as the acting Secret Service Director after Kim Cheatle resigned over the summer.
According to Real Clear Politics reporter Susan Crabtree, Sean Curran is going to oust up to 10 senior leadership officials in the Secret Service.
One person who needs to go immediately is Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Sjoberg Radway because she is close to Kimberly Cheatle, Susan Crabtree warned.
More details on this developing story from Susan Crabtree:
Curran is getting inundated with information on which top officials on the 8th floor of headquarters to oust or replace. I’m hearing quite a few names of top officials on the removal wishlist, as well as names of those Curran or other members of his new leadership team already informed that their leadership services are no longer needed.
One constant refrain is that Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Sjoberg Radway needs. to be removed STAT. Radway was incredibly close to former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, who resigned under pressure from Congress after the assassination attempt in Butler. In fact, Radway became good friends with Cheatle during a previous stint working for the agency. When Cheatle became director, she brought her back to work more directly for her in the COO role and gave her a bonus to do so, according to multiple sources. The fear is that Radway, if allowed to stay, will continue to serve as a pipeline of information back to Cheatle. She also has crossed many agents Curran respects.
“She will be a major roadblock to positive progress,” if allowed to stay, one source in the Secret Service community told RCP.

Rowe is a typical Washington bureaucrat who led the bureau before the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life during the 2024 Campaign.
Director Rowe also was caught in a blatant lie after President Trump was shot in the ear in Butler, Pennsylvania. Rowe said at the time that all assets were approved for the Trump Butler rally. Later, a whistleblower stepped forward and revealed that Rowe was personally responsible for cutting assets from President Trump’s Secret Service detail before the first assassination attempt.
Kimberly Cheatle resigned in July after Secret Service security lapses led to an attempted assassination of Trump.
President Trump was grazed in the ear after a 20-year-old gunman named Thomas Matthew Crooks climbed on a roof and took several shots at Trump and rallygoers in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13.
Cheatle appeared before the House Oversight Committee over the summer to answer questions about the so-called security breaches that led to an assassination attempt on Trump during his Butler rally.
She stonewalled during the interview. She refused to answer any pertinent questions! Cheatle did not answer any important questions and blamed it on “an ongoing investigation.”

When the servants of the globalist elite placed at the top of the institutions – both civil and religious – talk about welcoming illegal immigrants, they do not tell you that they make huge profits from the management of immigrants.
When they talk about the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, they do not tell you that they have a conflict of interest since they themselves are involved.
When they talk about going green, they do not tell you about their non-disinterested investments in the alternative energy sector.
This betrayal of their institutional role is what unites them: they earn money and increase their social power to the extent that they support the globalist agenda.
The new “archbishop” of Washington Robert McElroy or the outgoing Wilton Gregory and Donald Wuerl, but also Blase Cupich and Joseph Tobin – all “nephews” and heirs to the perversion of Theodore McCarrick and sponsored by the deep state just as he was – would have spiced their sermon to the new President Trump with the same slogans used by Mrs. Budde at the National Cathedral.
The Episcopalian “bishopess” (who is not a Bishop, just like her male colleagues, who do not possess Apostolic Succession) obeys, just like Bergoglio, subversive supranational powers that represent a threat not only to the institutions they preside over, but also to the State.
And like her “Catholic” counterparts, Budde lives in clear contradiction with what she preaches: Bergoglio condemns those who build walls but toughens the penalties for those who enter the Vatican illegally (up to four years in prison), while Budde believes she can cover up the fact that she lives in a two-million-dollar villa by displaying the rainbow flag on her balcony.
“Bishopess” Budde is not the only one preaching welcome and compassion for migrants (illegal immigrants and criminals who violate the Nation’s borders, spreading violence and chaos) and for “gay, lesbian and trans children” (corrupted by perverted and pedophile adults to be their docile prey): together with “Mrs.” Budde – and not too far away in terms of theological positions – there are the exponents of the Bergoglian church who infest and occupy the Catholic Church.
And if the Evangelicals already have women priests and bishops, Bergoglio is preparing to join them by appointing a “Prefectess” of a Dicastery of the Roman Curia and replacing the Cardinal Governor of the Vatican State with a women.
The Trump Administration will be able to effectively counter these ecclesiastical subversives only by bringing to light and punishing the scandals and crimes that they are still covering up and by which they are controlled under blackmail, no more and no less than the exponents of politics and civil society.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) delivered a trademark zinger during the confirmation hearing of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) nominee Russell Vought.
Kennedy questioned Vought on the reckless spending habits of the Biden administration and dropped a Biblical truth bomb that left fact-checkers reeling.
During the hearing, Sen. Kennedy laid bare the staggering federal spending increases under President Biden’s leadership.
“I used to read your suggestions during President Trump’s first term, many of which Congress ignored. We shouldn’t have. I am delighted that the President picked you. I have read that since 2019, the population of America has increased 2%, and our spending has increased 55% under President Biden,” Kennedy said.
Kennedy also highlighted the outrageous fraud within government stimulus programs, citing the jaw-dropping fact that in fiscal year 2023 alone, $1.3 billion in checks were sent to deceased individuals.
“I hope you’ll start with the low-hanging fruit. There’s a lot. When we sent out stimulus checks to save our economy, $1. 6 billion went to dead people, and the checks were cashed, obviously a fraud. OMB has estimated that in fiscal year 2023, we sent out $1. 3 billion of checks to dead people. Which were cashed, obviously fraud.”
“When you die in America, your name is sent to the Social Security Administration, and you become part of the master file,” Kennedy explained.
Despite his and Senator Carper’s efforts to implement reforms, they faced “pushback” and were forced to agree to a trial period that extended until 2026.
Kennedy asked Vought if he would support making the program permanent to stop paying dead people, to which Vought responded, “Yes, Senator.”
Then came the moment that had the chamber erupting in laughter.
Comparing the resistance Vought would face in Washington to Noah’s biblical trials, Kennedy quipped, “You’re going to be called crazy. They also called Noah crazy. Then the rains came, and all the fact-checkers died.”

President Trump on Thursday said he will appeal the judge’s decision to block his executive order on birthright citizenship.
On Thursday Seattle-based US District Judge John Coughenour, a Reagan appointee, temporarily blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship order.
According to President Trump’s order, the 14th Amendment is being misinterpreted by the left to give citizenship to ‘anchor babies.’
“It is the policy of the United States that no department or agency of the United States government shall issue documents recognizing United States citizenship, or accept documents issued by State, local, or other governments or authorities purporting to recognize United States citizenship, to persons: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States was lawful but temporary, and the person’s father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” Trump’s order stated.
Trump’s order argued the 14th Amendment has always excluded babies born to people in the US illegally.
“[The] Fourteenth Amendment has never been interpreted to extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States. The Fourteenth Amendment has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Consistent with this understanding, the Congress has further specified through legislation that “a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is a national and citizen of the United States at birth, 8 U.S.C. 1401, generally mirroring the Fourteenth Amendment’s text,” the order stated.
On Tuesday, Democrat state attorneys general filed a lawsuit to halt Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.
In response to four Democrat-led states, Judge Coughenour blocked Trump’s executive order until February 6 and said he may consider a permanent injunction.
“I have been on the bench for over four decades,” Judge Coughenour said, according to ABC News. “I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as it is here. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order.”
A reporter asked President Trump about the judge’s temporary restraining order on Thursday.
“Obviously we will appeal it,” Trump said as he was signing executive orders in the Oval Office.

After a slew of Trump administration executive orders aimed at strengthening the border against illegal immigration, Republican lawmakers are gearing up to support the effort with a number of bills focused on reforming the asylum process and finishing the border wall.
The president has already made several moves to strengthen the border—declaring an emergency at the southern border on Day One and shutting down the CBP One asylum application, among others.
But Republicans have repeatedly signaled that they’re keen on making these moves more permanent.
Rep. Morgan Luttrell, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal on Tuesday that it’s Republican congressmen’s task to make sure that the policies outlined in Trump’s executive orders are codified in law.
“Laws are in place currently, but those executive orders capitalize on that, and the party should come together and pass absolute legislation that we can push through the House and the Senate for his signature so we don’t have to worry about this problem again,” Luttrell said.
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Penn., likewise told The Daily Signal that Republican legislation would focus on converting executive orders into legislation if necessary.
“We’ll go through each one of these executive orders and actually figure out which are the most beneficial for the American people, and we may want to weigh in in a legislative fashion on some of these things,” Mackenzie said.
And there’s some reason to be bullish about Republicans’ chances in turning these Trumpian policies into law.
The Laken Riley Act, which requires that illegal immigrants convicted of theft and certain other crimes be detained by the authorities, passed the Senate with the support of 12 Democrats, including Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, and Ruben Gallego of Arizona.
Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, is taking the lead on this initiative to turn policies into law.
Gill has proposed the Remain in Mexico Act, which would enshrine in law Trump’s previous administration’s policy of requiring asylum-seekers to remain in their home country before the court date for their asylum application.
Gill told The Daily Signal’s Bradley Devlin that converting that policy into an actual law is essential to creating any lasting changes to border policy that can’t be easily reversed by a future Democratic president.
“We had border security under President Trump. Joe Biden got rid of it. Why is that? It’s because everything’s been done through executive order,” said Gill.
Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas, joined in on the process, introducing a birthright citizenship bill on Tuesday to support Trump’s executive order blocking the children of illegal immigrants from automatically receiving citizenship just by virtue of being born here.
The president’s order has received criticism from those who claim it violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” A federal judge on Thursday temporarily enjoined Trump’s restriction on birthright citizenship in the face of lawsuits by Democratic state attorneys general challenging it.
Rep. Babin ‘Welcomes’ Challenges to Birthright Citizenship Bill@RepBrianBabin says his bill on birthright citizenship will END “loopholes” in the 14th Amendment and prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country only to have their children born on American soil.

“Quite frankly, this is in support. I support President Trump and his agenda 1,000%,” Babin told The Daily Signal the day he introduced the bill. “We want the Supreme Court to hear this case and give us a final interpretation. And I am convinced that it is wrongly interpreted.”
Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., introduced another bill in the Senate on Thursday to solidify one of Trump’s most high-profile policy proposals—a wall along the southern border.
In a statement on the WALL Act, Britt’s team wrote that the bill would provide $25 billion for the border wall without raising taxes, “by eliminating taxpayer-funded entitlement benefits for illegal aliens, which would further deter illegal migration.”
Republican congressmen’s eagerness to shore up Trump’s ambitious first moves is a sign of solidarity within a party that has only narrow majorities in both houses of Congress.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come to Elon Musk’s defense after the Tesla CEO was accused of making a racist gesture during President Donald Trump’s inaugural rally in Washington, D.C., as reported by TGP.
In a post on ‘X’ this Thursday, 23, Netanyahu stated that Musk is being falsely smeared and expressed his gratitude to the entrepreneur for his unwavering support of Israel.
Netanyahu declared:
“Elon Musk is being falsely smeared. Elon is a great friend of Israel. He visited Israel after the October 7 massacre in which Hamas terrorists committed the worst atrocity against the Jewish people since the Holocaust.”
The Israeli Prime Minister praised Musk’s firm stance in defending Israel and condemning attacks by Hamas.
Netanyahu continued:
“He has since repeatedly and forcefully supported Israel’s right to defend itself against genocidal terrorists and regimes who seek to annihilate the one and only Jewish state.”
Netanyahu concluded his message by thanking Elon Musk for his advocacy on behalf of the Israeli people.

The post came in response to a sarcastic comment by Musk, who mocked leftists supporting the Hamas terrorist group while accusing him of being a Nazi.
“The radical leftists are really upset that they had to take time out of their busy day praising Hamas to call me a Nazi,” Musk wrote.

President Donald Trump took the globalist elites to task at the World Economic Forum’s annual event in Davos, Switzerland, delivering a bold, unapologetic speech that championed his “America First” agenda.
Speaking remotely, Trump minced no words in criticizing NATO allies for their lackluster defense spending, challenging multinational corporations to invest in the U.S., and calling out Bank of America’s discrimination against conservatives.
Trump’s speech, which came just days after his historic re-election, was a full-throttle repudiation of the disastrous policies of the Biden regime.
Trump boldly confronted the globalists, declaring that their agenda is coming to an end. He announced that foreign aid would be frozen, climate agendas scrapped, the Paris Accord terminated, EV mandates abolished, and fossil fuels set for a comeback.
One of the standout moments from his speech was a direct warning to global corporations: invest in American manufacturing or prepare for steep tariffs.
This has been a truly historic week in the United States. Three days ago, I took the oath of office, and we began the Golden Age of America. The recent presidential election was won by millions of votes, and all seven, every one of them, all seven swing states. It was a massive mandate from the American people, like hasn’t been seen in many years.
Some of the political pundits, even some of my so-called enemies, said it was the most consequential election victory in 129 years. That’s quite nice. What the world has witnessed in the past 72 hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense.
Our country will soon be stronger, wealthier, and more united than ever before, and the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result of this incredible momentum and what we’re doing and going to do.
My administration is acting with unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we’ve inherited from a totally inept group of people and to solve every single crisis facing our country.
This begins with confronting the economic chaos caused by the failed policies of the last administration. Over the past four years, our government racked up $8 trillion in wasteful deficit spending and inflicted nation-wrecking energy restrictions, crippling regulations, and hidden taxes like never before.
The result is the worst inflation crisis in modern history and sky-high interest rates for our citizens and even throughout the world. Food prices and the price of almost every other thing known to mankind went through the roof.
President Biden totally lost control of what was going on in our country, but in particular with our high inflation economy and at our border. Because of these ruiners’ policies, total government spending this year is $1.5 trillion higher than was projected to occur when I left office just four years ago. Likewise, the cost of servicing the debt is more than 230% higher than was projected in 2020.
The inflation rate we are inheriting remains 50% higher than the historic target. It was the highest inflation, probably in the history of our country.
That’s why from the moment I took office, I’ve taken rapid action to reverse each and every one of these radical left policies that created this calamity, in particular with immigration, crime, and inflation.
On day one, I signed an executive order directing every member of my cabinet to marshal all powers at their disposal to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of daily life. I imposed a federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, a foreign aid freeze, and I created the new Department of Government Efficiency.
I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal. I call it the Green New Scam. Withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We’re going to let people buy the car they want to buy.
I declared a national energy emergency, and it’s so important, national energy emergency to unlock the liquid gold under our feet and pave the way for rapid approvals of new energy infrastructure.
The United States has the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth, and we’re going to use it. Not only will this reduce the cost of virtually all goods and services, it will make the United States a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto.
My administration has also begun the largest deregulation campaign in history, far exceeding even the record-setting efforts of my last term.
In total, the Biden administration imposed $50,000 in additional regulatory costs on the average American household over the last four years.
I have promised to eliminate 10 old regulations for every new regulation which will soon put many thousands of dollars back in the pockets of American families.
To further unleash our economy, our majorities in the House and Senate, which we also took along with the presidency, are going to pass the largest tax cut in American history, including massive tax cuts for workers and family and big tax cuts for domestic producers and manufacturers.
We’re working with the Democrats on getting an extension of the original Trump tax cuts, as you probably know by just reading any paper.
My message to every business in the world is very simple: Come make your product in America, and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth. We’re bringing them down very substantially, even from the original Trump tax cuts.
But if you don’t make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply, you will have to pay a tariff, different ring amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt.
Under the Trump administration, there will be no better place on Earth to create jobs, build factories or grow a company than right here in the good old USA.
Already, Americans, economic… You can see this, I think, maybe even in your wonderful, wonderful room that you’re all gathered together. So many of my friends But Americans, the economic confidence is soaring like we haven’t seen in many, many decades. Maybe not at all.
Upon my election, it was just announced a small business optimism skyrocketed by 41 points in a single month.
That’s the highest ever. There’s never been anything like that. Softbank has announced between a $100 and $200 billion investment in the US economy because of the election result.
And just two days ago, Oracle, SoftBank Bank and OpenAI announced a $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure.
Other companies, likewise, have announced billions and billions and billions, adding up to trillions of investment in America and the United States.
It’s also reported today in the papers that Saudi Arabia will be investing at least $600 billion in America. But I’ll be asking the Crown Prince, who’s a fantastic guy, to round it out to around one trillion.
I think they’ll do that because we’ve been very good to them.
And I’m also going to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil. You got to bring it down, which, frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t do before the election.
That didn’t show a lot of love by them not doing it. I was a little surprised by that.
If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately. Right now, the price is high enough that that war will continue. You got to bring down the oil price.
You’re going to end that war. They should have done it long ago.
They’re very responsible, actually, to a certain extent for what’s taking place. Millions of lives are being lost. With oil prices going down, I’ll demand that interest rates drop immediately, and likewise, they should be dropping Coming all over the world.
Interest rates should follow us all over the progress that you’re seeing is happening because of our historic victory in a recent presidential election, one that has become quite well known throughout the world.
I think a lot of things are happening to a lot of countries.
They say that there’s light shining all over the world since the election, and even countries that we aren’t particularly friendly with are happy because they understand what their is the future and how great the future will be.
Under our leadership, America is back and open for business. This week, I’m also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border.
They allowed people to come in at levels that nobody he’s ever seen before. It was ridiculous.
I decided and declared to do, and very, very importantly, a national emergency on our border immediately halted all entry of illegal border crossers, of which there were many, and began properly returning the illegal trespasses back to the place from which they came.
That action, as you’ve probably seen, has already started very strongly. I’ve deployed active duty US military and National Guard troops to the border to assist in repelling the invasion. It was really an invasion.
We will not allow our territory to be violated after four long years, the United States is strong and sovereign and a beautiful nation, once again. It’s a strong, sovereign nation.
In addition, I’m pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again.
On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship, No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and frankly, progress.
We have saved free speech in America, and we’ve saved it strongly. With another historic executive order this week, I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against the American people and frankly, against politicians, and restored the fair, equal, and impartial rule of law.
My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense.
These are policies that were absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector. With the recent, yet somewhat unexpected, great Supreme Court decision just made, America will once again become a merit-based country.
You have to hear that word, merit-based country. I’ve made it official and official policy of the United States that there are only two genders, male and female. We will have no men participating in women’s sports, and transgender operations, which have become the rage, will occur very rarely.
Finally, as we restore common sense in America, we’re moving quickly to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad. I’m also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which is what it should have been years ago. It was only at 2%, and most nations didn’t pay until I came along.
I insisted that they pay, and they did because the United States was really paying the difference at that time, and it was unfair to the United States. But many, many things have been unfair for many years to the United States. Before even taking office,
my team negotiated a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East, which wouldn’t have happened without us, as I think most of the people in the room know. Earlier this week, the hostages began to return to their families.
They are returning, and it’s a beautiful sight, and they’ll be coming in more and more. They started coming back on Sunday.
Our efforts to secure a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine are now hopefully underway.
It’s so important to get that done That is an absolute killing field. Millions of soldiers are being killed. Nobody’s seen anything like it since World War II. They’re laying dead all over the flat fields.
It’s a flat field farmland, and there’s millions of Russians and millions of Ukrainians. Nobody’s seen anything like it since World War II. It’s time to end it. Here in America, we have big events coming up. Next year, we have the 250th anniversary of America’s founding.
I’m so honored to be President during that. That’s been a big event. They’ve been talking about it for 10 years. We also have the World Cup, and I understand Gianni is in the room, Infantino.
He was very instrumental in helping us get it. He’s there with you someplace, I think, and I want to thank him for that.
And then we have the Olympics coming up, which I was instrumental in getting also in my first term. And who would have known that by skipping a term, I would get the Olympics. I was upset.
I said, I got the Olympics to come and I won’t be President. But it turned out through a stroke of luck or whatever you might call it, that I’m going to be President during the World Cup and the Olympics and the 250th anniversary.
So that’s going to be three big events. And we’ve accomplished more in less than four days. We have really been working four days than other administrations have accomplished in four years.
And we’re just getting started. It’s really an amazing thing to see in the spirit and the light over our country has been incredible. Under the last administration, our nation has suffered greatly, but we’re going to bring it back and make it greater, bigger, stronger, better than ever before.
I want to thank everybody for being with you. I would have been there myself, except the inauguration was two days ago. I thought it might be a little bit quick to make it the first stop, but we’ll get there one day. We hope to get there.
But I do appreciate. I heard the audience is fantastic, and many of my friends are in the audience, and I will be taking questions now from some very distinguished people. Thank you all very much.

The post Donald Trump Just Told Globalists at Davos to Their Faces that America is Back: Climate Agendas Scrapped, the Paris Accord Terminated, and High Tariffs Imposed appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
THE CENTER SQUARE—A federal judge Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s recent executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
Trump signed the executive order earlier this week, and almost immediately a coalition of nearly two dozen states filed a series of lawsuits to block the order.
“The president’s executive order attempting to rescind birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional and quite frankly, un-American,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta, one of those who joined one of the lawsuits.
U.S. District Judge John Coughenour issued the ruling, which blocks Trump’s order until a final ruling is made. Coughenour, who was appointed by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1981, blasted the ruling as unconstitutional, though.
The order could make it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
In question is the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
As The Center Square previously reported, supporters of Trump’s order argue the 14th Amendment has been twisted and was meant to apply to recently freed slaves and American citizens, not illegal immigrants who they say are taking advantage of the system.
Backers of Trump’s order say the 14th Amendment has been abused, pointing to tourists and illegal immigrants who come to the U.S. explicitly to have children.
“The Framers of the 14th Amendment would be appalled at how abused the notion of ‘birthright citizenship’ is today,” Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in a statement. “The privilege of United States citizenship is a priceless and profound gift. It should not be granted to those who abuse our laws.”

I’ve been feeling a warm glow this week, despite the bitter cold in Washington.
For four years, I’ve been railing in print, podcast, radio, and video against now-former President Joe Biden’s deliberate takedown of our border controls and his evisceration of our legal immigration system through policy fudges and executive overreach. I have also inveighed against the leftist assault on American tradition and values in our government, particularly at the State Department and its Foreign Service, America’s diplomatic corps.
After I retired from the Foreign Service in May 2022, the second article I wrote was titled “A U.S. Embassy Should Fly Only One Flag.” The new secretary of state, Marco Rubio, has just ordered that to be U.S. policy worldwide. Man, that feels good.
This week, President Donald Trump launched a barrage of executive orders from the White House that will stanch the bleeding from four years of “America last” policy, both foreign and domestic.
Some of Trump’s orders rolled back the woke ideology that currently strangles our academia, corporations, and government like an anaconda.
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion” sounds good, but is mostly a mechanism for grifters to get paid while institutions favor race and sex over ability and experience. As of Monday, at least in the federal government, DEI is out—or “afuera” as Argentina’s president, Javier Milei, says.
DEI true-believers, like Viet Cong cadres, are committed, dug in, and won’t go gently into the good night of penury and irrelevance. But their days of intimidating federal workers are over.
It’s sad that he had to, but Trump has confirmed that there are only two sexes. After four years of the people being told to accept that biological men could not only be women, but lesbians to boot, the president has spoken truth. His federal government will no longer pretend to believe in nonsense, nor try to force us all by litigation to accept and speak falsehood.

But immigration and border policy are the BorderLine’s beat. There, Trump wielded a mighty pen on Monday. With a flurry of executive orders, Trump blew away Biden’s flimsy architecture of bogus pretexts, unlawful executive actions, and America-last, illegal alien-first ideology.
Declaring an emergency and an invasion on the southern border, Trump increased resources and unshackled agencies. He has restored the successful “Remain in Mexico” policy that reduced fraudulent asylum claims. He has ended the disastrous Biden policies of “catch and release” of aliens caught entering illegally at the border, as well as the severe limitations put on interior enforcement of immigration laws by feckless, reckless, and impeached now-former Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas.
Trump ordered an end to the Biden mass parole programs, where millions got to bypass the visa system based on their nationality. He ended the perversion of the CBP One phone application, which allowed illegal aliens to schedule their illegal entry into the United States. He ordered a return to serious vetting of aliens before they are released into the country, rather than hoping for the best with no verified information, as has been recent practice.
Trump is ending the gravy train where nongovernmental organizations get rich funneling in the world’s economic migrants and connecting them to the teat of welfare programs in states and cities across the land.
Most importantly, Trump is delivering on his promise to restore the rule of law by removing aliens so ordered through due legal process. No longer will foreign nationals ignore our laws and dictate the terms of their stay here. The American people have rejected globalism. National sovereignty requires secure borders and immigration laws that are clear and enforced.
I could go on: There are a stack of presidential actions out already, and we’re fewer than 100 hours into Trump’s second term. (The Daily Signal breaks them down here). It took me a day to fully digest the executive orders on immigration alone. Reading them was like reviewing a wish list of action items from every article and interview I’ve done over the past three years.
Clearly, the Trump team has been preparing for this moment a long time. While Biden mumbled and bumbled his way through his one term, planners who put America first were doing their homework.
Is this final victory? Of course not. Closing out 2024, Soviet-era dissident Natan Sharansky said:
This year reminded me that history has no ending, and that it’s not within our power to achieve final victory or defeat in the war against evil. What is in our power, however, is to keep on fighting, and to keep on embracing the meaning and joy we can find in the process.
Trump’s election and his first week of executive action are battles won, but the war for America’s soul and future goes on.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which used to care about free speech for Americans and now seems to care mostly about illegal aliens and the gender-confused, has been stockpiling lawsuits all year. So have other activists on the Left, funded by deep pockets of dark money.
Let ‘em rip. Some of Trump’s agenda may die in the courts, but much will survive, because it is just and lawful, and because the people want it.
The coalition that elected Trump was wide and deep. We agreed on fundamentals, like national sovereignty, defending our borders, freedom of speech, and rejecting gender ideology. But like any coalition, we differ on some matters of policy, and on how to accomplish our shared goals.
Over the next four years, some of us will not get what we want, and none of us will get all we want. That’s life—and politics. For now, let’s put that aside. Trump coming out of the gate firing from both barrels is awesome to behold. Let’s enjoy it for a while.

Four years ago, immediately upon taking office, President Joe Biden told the CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media to resign or be fired.
Biden’s request, which Michael Pack honored at 2 p.m. Jan. 20, 2021, demonstrated his administration’s urgency to reassert control over the federal agency that operates government-funded media outlets broadcasting internationally.
Pack, a documentary filmmaker and former president and CEO of the Claremont Institute, served only seven months in the role when Biden ordered him gone. Originally nominated by President Donald Trump in June 2018, Pack’s nomination lingered in the U.S. Senate. He was confirmed, 53-38, in June 2020.
Days into his second term, Trump already appears intent on moving quickly to refocus USAGM on its mission of promoting freedom and democracy around the world.
On Tuesday, he tapped L. Brent Bozell III, founder and president of the Media Research Center, to be the agency’s new CEO. In December, Trump announced Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor from Arizona, as his nominee to lead Voice of America, one of the entities USAGM oversees.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that “few understand the Global Media landscape in print, television, and online better than Brent. He and his family have fought for the American principles of Liberty, Freedom, Equality, and Justice for generations, and he will ensure that message is heard by Freedom-loving people around the World. Brent will bring some much needed change to the U.S. Agency for Global Media.”

Bozell will be charged with reforming a troubled agency, and noted as much in a post on X.
“I am honored to be chosen by President Trump to serve as the next CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media,” Bozell posted. “There is lots of work to be done. I look forward to meeting with Senators ahead of my confirmation hearing to explore how best to ensure the priorities of the President are met.”
Bozell’s watchdog organization is a frequent critic of legacy media outlets and Lake has also called out reporters. Trump’s selections are already prompting howls from anonymously quoted sources—and fears that Senate Democrats might use tactics to delay the confirmation process.
A seemingly small but oft-criticized agency, USAGM was reorganized during President Barack Obama’s administration in 2016. Pack was the first CEO to serve in the newly created role, charged with reforming the international media outlets that faced scrutiny for promoting liberal or anti-American bias even though its congressional charter required independence and objectivity.
During Trump’s first term, VOA staffers accused Trump of wanting to subvert the objectivity.
Biden nominated Amanda Bennett, a former editor of Bloomberg News, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and Lexington Herald-Leader, as the current CEO of the Agency for Global Media in November 2021. The Senate didn’t confirm Bennett until September 2022 on a vote of 60-36.
USAGM is responsible for two federal entities—VOA and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting—and five nonprofit organizations, which include Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Middle East Broadcasting Networks, Open Technology Fund, and Frontline Media Fund.
Before Biden fired him, Pack attempted to reform the global media agency and made several notable firings. However, a federal judge overturned his decisions, hampering his ability to make personnel changes.
Employees of USAGM maintain access to government buildings, sensitive files, information technology systems, and high-ranking U.S. government officials.
Last summer, the House Foreign Affairs Committee released a report that found whistleblower allegations of abuse by a senior agency executive had merit, including using taxpayer funds for personal travel, falsified educational credentials, and favoritism.
An independent audit of the USAGM for fiscal years 2021 and 2022 found deficiencies in internal controls over financial reporting.
In 2021, the State Department’s Office of Inspector General found deficiencies in personnel and background investigations.
A joint audit in 2020 by the Office of Personnel Management and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found the agency has failed for a decade to adequately vet staff, creating a systemic security risk.
Also in 2020, a former contracting officer with the broadcasting agency pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States through bribery and wire fraud.
In 2019, the global media agency suspended a reporter and a cameraman amid allegations they faked a mortar attack in Nicaragua. That same year, Haroon Ullah, the agency’s former chief strategy officer, pleaded guilty in federal court to stealing more than $40,000 in government property.
In 2018, the government fired or disciplined 15 VOA journalists for accepting bribes from a Nigerian government official. The bribes came in “brown envelopes,” according to the audit.
In 2017, Voice of America disciplined three Chinese journalists working for VOA’s Mandarin service, siding with China’s government and killing a broadcast with an interview critical of the Chinese Communist Party.
The inspector general revealed in 2014 that the agency awarded contracts based on personal connections and hired contractors without prior approval, inappropriately spending hundreds of thousands of dollars.
USAGM did not respond to an inquiry from The Daily Signal for this story.
Bozell has a big task ahead of him once confirmed by the Senate.
He founded the Media Research Center in 1987 to document liberal bias at a time when there was little alternative to the mainstream media. Bozell has also been a nationally syndicated columnist, and the author or co-author of multiple books. Bozell also founded the Parents Television Council in 1998 and For America in 2010.
His father, L. Brent Bozell Jr., was also prominent in the conservative movement. He is the nephew of conservative icon William F. Buckley.
National radio host Erick Erickson, posted, “It is always great to see good things happen to good people. Brent is fantastic and will be great in this. What a fantastic appointment.”

Also, Chris Plante, a Newsmax TV host and radio host posted, “Well deserved! Congratulations my friend.”

Lake’s position doesn’t require Senate approval. She must win the support of the bipartisan International Broadcasting Advisory Board, a seven-member panel responsible for hiring and firing the VOA director.
Michael Abramowitz, the former president of Freedom House, has served in the role of VOA director for less than a year.
A former Republican candidate for governor and Senate in Arizona, Lake began her broadcasting career in the 1990s..
Trump said that Lake would “ensure that the American values of Freedom and Liberty are broadcast around the World FAIRLY and ACCURATELY, unlike the lies spread by the Fake News Media.”
Lake said she plans to bring reforms to the news organization.
“@VOANews is a vital international media outlet dedicated to advancing the interests of the United States by engaging directly with people across the globe and promoting democracy and truth,” Lake said. “With an audience of 326 million people, Voice of America delivers information in 48 languages. Under my leadership, the VOA will excel in its mission: chronicling America’s achievements worldwide.”
President Gerald Ford signed VOA’s charter in 1976. Congress increased the VOA editorial independence in 1994 and again in 2020. The charter states that Voice of America “will serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news. It will be accurate, objective and comprehensive.” It further says it will be a “balanced and comprehensive projection of significant American thought and institutions.” VOA could broadcast editorial comment advocating existing U.S. policy, as the charter says it will “clearly and effectively, and will also present responsible discussions and opinion on these policies.”
During Trump’s first term, the White House issued a statement in 2020 that said, “Voice of America spends your money to speak for authoritarian regimes,” regarding the perceived pro-China coverage.

Recall that the The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. in May 2023 about his campaign and vision for America.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spent a considerable amount of time discussing his uncle’s assassination in great detail. Robert believes the CIA was involved. He wants the US government to come clean on its role in JFK’s death. Robert then went on to detail his father’s assassination. Robert accused the CIA of being involved in both assassinations.
Robert Kennedy, Jr., appeared on FOX News soon after his interview with TGP. He called on Joe Biden to honor his previous vote and release all of the government documents on his uncle’s death. Kennedy wants Biden to follow through with the 1992 Assassination Act that Biden voted for.
S.3006 – The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 – directs the National Archives and Records Administration to establish a collection of records to be known as the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection (the Collection).
Joe Biden never declassified the JFK and RFK documents but Trump signed the order to release the documents in the first week of his second term.
