Which ‘Trump Transition Official’
is Pushing ‘Palestinian’ Nation Building?

Presidential teams have all sorts of players on them. And much as some might have hoped that after the first term, the Trump team would be ‘clean’, that’s proving not to be the case. The adoption of Biden’s disastrous surrendering to terrorist deal by Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, appears to have saved Hamas. And we’re getting all sorts of leaks to the media by people supposedly on the Trump team blasting Israel and propping up Islamic terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon. The latest one is an NBC News story touting Witkoff and a larger ‘nation-building’ agenda for Gaza.

Former President Joe Biden, just hours before he left office, issued a flurry of preemptive pardons for his political allies — including retired Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and members of the J6 Committee — but skipped one for Ukraine impeachment hoaxer Alexander Vindman.
Vindman’s wife, Rachel Vindman, took to Bluesky to whine about being left off the pardon list.
“Whatever happens to my family, know this: No pardons were offered or discussed. I cannot begin to describe the level of betrayal and hurt I feel,” she posted.
Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. government to resettle in the U.S., including family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending U.S. refugee programs, a U.S. official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday. [SNIP] Nearly 200,000 Afghans have been brought to the U.S. by former President Joe Biden's administration since the chaotic U.S. troop withdrawal from Kabul.
Donald Trump issued two executive orders launching investigations into Joe Biden's White House over institutional censorship and weaponization of law enforcement.
The president signed at least 78 bills on Monday overturning various declarations and orders given out by his predecessor.
Trump ordered that no federal officer, employee or agent may unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen, an early step toward his campaign promise to dismantle what he called government 'censorship' of U.S. citizens.
The president´s executive order, issued just hours after he was sworn in to a second term.
I’ve spent a lot of time speaking with President Donald Trump over the past few months and my expectations for his first 100 days in power are very high.
Americans are about to witness a period of rapid change that will revolutionize their lives.
For one, Trump knows that he must move fast.
He has two years of nearly unfettered control of Washington DC, before mid-term elections threaten to undermine the Republican party’s slim majorities in the House and Senate.
Secondly, Trump knows he has pulled off the greatest political comeback in American history – and he’s not about to squander his second chance.
Liberal protesters gathered around Washington, D.C., to express their disapproval of President Donald Trump's inauguration Monday.
Trump succeeded former President Joe Biden after winning the election two months ago, which included the popular vote. Still, Trump has some outspoken adversaries. Among them were some who erected a makeshift guillotine in Malcolm X Park, also known as Meridian Hill Park. The phrase "come get sum" was painted on the crafted 20-foot-tall structure. Meanwhile, other protesters flanked it, one dressed as an executioner with their face covered, another holding a rainbow flag, and another with a sign that read, "The revolution is now."

One week before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, in his final press briefing, outgoing National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made a cryptic comment.
“I hope this is my last time at this podium, at least for a while,” Sullivan said. “The only thing that would bring me back is an unexpected event in the next few days, which, as you all know, is totally possible, given everything you’ve seen over the past years.”
Did Sullivan speak generally or did he have specific situations in mind?

Since Gov. Greg Abbott launched his border security mission, Operation Lone Star, in 2021, OLS officers have apprehended more than 530,600 illegal border crossers. They’ve also made more than 50,000 criminal arrests, with more than 43,000 felony charges reported. They’ve also seized more than 622 million lethal doses of fentanyl – enough to kill everyone in the U.S., Mexico and Canada combined.
They’re also continuing to arrest “Special Interest Aliens,” those flagged for potential terrorist ties.
In Hidalgo County, an OLS Texas Department of Public Safety brush team apprehended four SIAs who illegally entered the U.S. from Turkey.
Trump More Catholic than the Pope?
15 replies
At no point in recent Catholic Church history has a pope and a U.S. president seemed to be in such perfect harmony as soon-to-be ex-President Biden and Pope Francis – whose reign seems to be stretching into infinity. [SNIP] As a friend of mine said who lived in Buenos Aires when Francis was cardinal-archbishop there, “He’s always hated the Latin Mass; he’s always been a pseudo-socialist; he’s always hated the English language and he has little to zero love for the United States.”
How’s that for a Holy Father?
When Kid Rock takes the stage Sunday at Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again Rally in Washington, DC, he’ll also mark nearly a decade of friendship with the president-elect.
The news that Rock — born Robert James Ritchie — would be performing at the concert on the eve of Trump’s inauguration was not surprising. The “Cowboy” musician, 54, has been one of Trump’s most effusive and at times rabid supporters since the reality TV star-turned-politician won the presidential election in 2016.
Before the Republican primaries had even kicked off that year, Rock voiced his support for the former “Apprentice” host, 78.
Liberals claim that they care about other people, but the real mark of liberal governments is how little they care about their own people. [SNIP] As Canadians grapple with astronomical grocery prices, troublingly high numbers of people are flocking to food banks to feed their families. Last March alone, two million Canadians visited food banks—a staggering 90 per cent increase from 2019—and the most recent figures estimate that 12,000 new users access them every month. Food banks aren’t just frequented by unhoused and precariously employed folks anymore, either: now, one in five users has a steady job.
It was a month after her son's election as vice president of the United States and JD Vance 's mother wondered why the city of his birth had yet to recognize him.
“I just think it would be really nice if we could acknowledge that this is his hometown and put up some signs," Beverly Aikins told the city council in Middletown, Ohio, where she and Vance's sister still live, in early December. [SNIP] Perhaps in another historical moment, a few signs would seem like a no-brainer, but not this year and not for this person.

President Biden granted pardons to several prominent public servants Monday who have faced attacks from President-elect Trump in one of his final acts in office. Biden issued pardons for Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who led the nation’s COVID-19 pandemic response, and retired Gen. Mark Milley, former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The president also pardoned members and staff of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack in addition to the U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.
As we all knew would happen, Biden’s last act was to pardon every bad actor in his administration. This is hypocritical, to say the least, given his government’s vindictive pursuit of everyone in the Trump administration, including Trump himself. However, even worse than that, it sets a dangerous precedent that can destroy the American Constitution—and no, I’m not exaggerating.
So, here’s the top line from Fox News:
"President Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley, and others who some speculated may have faced investigations under the incoming Trump administration on Monday.
Biden's pardons come just hours before he is set to depart

other relatives for unspecified crimes

President Joe Biden pardoned his brother James Biden and other relatives Monday for unspecified crimes, a similar last-minute move to protect his family from potential investigation as when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for gun and tax convictions.
The president said he pardoned his brother and other relatives − his sister Sara Jones Biden, his sister Valerie Biden Owens and her husband John Owens, and another brother, Francis Biden − because of concerns about "baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families," he said in a statement released minutes before the end of his term.
Literally minutes before he leaves office, Joe Biden just issued blanket pardons for his closest family. Having previously pardoned Hunter Biden, the departing executive just pardoned his brothers, James and Frank, along with his sister Valerie, and their spouses.
The Biden family crime syndicate, those who engaged in the benefit of Joe Biden selling the influence of his office for financial gain, are attempting to preemptively pardon themselves from any investigation or prosecution of their criminal conduct.(snip)Recent legal debate has surrounded the issue of a prosecutor who may bring an indictment against a person after they have been issued a pardon.
Carrie Underwood honored the new president with a rare political performance. On Monday, Jan. 20, Underwood, 41, performed "America the Beautiful"inside the Capitol rotunda in Washington, D.C. during President Donald Trump's inauguration, which was moved indoors due to freezing conditions. After facing technical difficulties that delayed her performance, Underwood took the platform to sing a cappella, asking attendees to join her, saying, "You know the words."[snip] After finishing the tune, the country singer shook hands with President Trump and newly sworn-in Vice President JD Vance before exiting the stage.
Ahead of Inauguration Day, Time Magazine published a mental health guide for liberals struggling to cope with the reality of President Donald Trump retaking the White House. A group cry session and "forest bathing" were among the recommended coping techniques. The tutorial—titled "11 Things to Do on Inauguration Day That Are Great for Your Mental Health"—extensively lists ways sensitive snowflakes can manage their feelings of impending doom. For those "dreading" four more years of Trump, Time Magazine consulted a handful of so-called mental health experts to advise libs on how to deal with their "distress."
Cecile Richards, a women's rights activist and former president of Planned Parenthood, has died at 67, her family said. “This morning our beloved Cecile passed away at home, surrounded by her family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie.

The Pentagon took down a recently unveiled portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who butted heads with President Donald Trump following his 2020 election defeat. The portrait of Milley, who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs from 2019 to 2023, was unveiled earlier this month. Trump nominated Milley, but their relationship soured until the end of Trump’s first term. As of midafternoon Monday, just hours after Trump was inaugurated for his second term in the White House, the painting was no longer in the spot it was unveiled
Several leftist nonprofit organizations have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration just hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in on Monday. The complaint centers on the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a non-government advisory group headed by X owner Elon Musk to slash government spending.
