Kash Patel has been nominated to the position of FBI Director. Patel’s nomination is strongly opposed by a full spectrum of Senate UniParty members; however, many of those same senators are fearful of the sunlight the denial of position would bring with it.
During President Trump’s confirmation celebration at Capitol One Arena in Washington, D.C., nominee Kash Patel spoke to the audience about the restoration of the American dream.

The Eagle has landed.
Harden up!

President Donald Trump has fired multiple damaging XO’s directly into the heart of the beast. Now the waves of administration officials begin the arduous task of engaging each of the institutional silos to remove the entrenched corruptocrats.
WHITE HOUSE – “Section 1. Purpose. Article II of the United States Constitution vests the President with the sole and exclusive authority over the executive branch, including the authority to manage the Federal workforce to ensure effective execution of Federal law. A critical aspect of this executive function is the responsibility to maintain professionalism and accountability within the civil service. This accountability is sorely lacking today. Only 41 percent of civil service supervisors are confident that they can remove an employee who engaged in insubordination or serious misconduct. Even fewer supervisors –- 26 percent — are confident that they can remove an employee for poor performance.”
“Accountability is essential for all Federal employees, but it is especially important for those who are in policy-influencing positions. These personnel are entrusted to shape and implement actions that have a significant impact on all Americans. Any power they have is delegated by the President, and they must be accountable to the President, who is the only member of the executive branch, other than the Vice President, elected and directly accountable to the American people. In recent years, however, there have been numerous and well-documented cases of career Federal employees resisting and undermining the policies and directives of their executive leadership. Principles of good administration, therefore, necessitate action to restore accountability to the career civil service, beginning with positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character.
Sec. 2. Reinstatement of Prior Administration Policy. Executive Order 13957 of October 21, 2020 (Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service), is hereby immediately reinstated with full force and effect, subject to the amendments described in section 3 of this order; provided that the date of this order shall be treated as the date of Executive Order 13957.
Sec. 3. Amendments to Prior Administration Policy. Executive Order 13957 is amended as follows:
(a) replace the letter “F” throughout, when used to designate an excepted service schedule, with the words “Policy/Career”;
(b) in section 1:
(i) remove the text between the words “make necessary” in the seventh paragraph and “excepting such positions” in the eighth paragraph; and
(ii) insert the text “competitive service and the” immediately before the words “adverse action procedures” in the eighth paragraph;
(c) in section 4(a)(i), replace the word “Positions” with the words “Career positions” in the final paragraph;
(d) in section 4(b)(i), add the text “providing for the application of Civil Service Rule 6.3(a) to Schedule Policy/Career positions and” after the words “as appropriate”;
(e) in section 5:
(i) insert the words “recommend that the President” immediately after the words “petition the Director to” in subsection (a)(i);
(ii) insert the following text at the end of subsection (c):
“(vi) directly or indirectly supervising employees in Schedule Policy/Career positions; or
(vii) duties that the Director otherwise indicates may be appropriate for inclusion in Schedule Policy/Career.”; and
(iii) amend subsection (d) to read “The Director shall promptly recommend to the President which positions should be placed in Schedule Policy/Career.”;
(f) in section 6:
(i) designate the existing text as new subsection “(a)”;
(ii) insert a new subsection (b) that reads: “(b) Employees in or applicants for Schedule Policy/Career positions are not required to personally or politically support the current President or the policies of the current administration. They are required to faithfully implement administration policies to the best of their ability, consistent with their constitutional oath and the vesting of executive authority solely in the President. Failure to do so is grounds for dismissal.”
Sec. 4. Conforming Regulatory Changes. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management (Director) shall promptly amend the Civil Service Regulations to rescind all changes made by the final rule of April 9, 2024, “Upholding Civil Service Protections and Merit System Principles,” 89 Fed. Reg. 24982, that impede the purposes of or would otherwise affect the implementation of Executive Order 13957. Until such rescissions are effectuated (including the resolution of any judicial review), 5 CFR part 302, subpart F, 5 CFR 210.102(b)(3), and 5 CFR 210.102(b)(4) shall be held inoperative and without effect.
Sec. 5. Additional Positions for Consideration. Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Director shall, after consultation with the Executive Office of the President, issue guidance about additional categories of positions that executive departments and agencies should consider recommending for Schedule Policy/Career.
Sec. 6. Revocation. Executive Order 14003 of January 22, 2021 (Protecting the Federal Workforce), is hereby revoked, and any rules, regulations, guidance, or other agency policies effectuated under Executive Order 14003 shall not be enforced. The heads of each executive department and agency shall review and identify existing agency actions relating to or arising under section 3(e)(v) and 3(f) of Executive Order 14003 (relating to suspending, revising, or rescinding revisions to discipline and unacceptable performance policies) and, as soon as practicable, suspend, revise, or rescind such actions identified in the review.
Sec. 7. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.”

Stéfane Marion, chief economist of the National Bank of Canada, has urged the Canadian government to reconsider their own trade barriers amid criticism of Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) stated in a 2019 study that Canada’s own restrictions are “regarded as the most comprehensive analysis of internal trade barriers.”Rather than tariffs, Canada’s eagerness to attract foreign investments has proved to be a barrier for domestic corporations.
Canada has trade agreements with over 40 nations as it has sought to attract international capital since 1989 since its first free trade deal with the USA. “[C]ompared to an ambitious and successful international trade strategy, progress in reducing internal trade barriers across Canada has not kept pace,” the IMF noted. The astounding amount of red tape has simply made it more expensive for Canadian companies to conduct business. Some estimates believe non-geographical internal trade barriers in Canada are equivalent to a 21% tariff. On the contrary, those barriers amount to a 3% tariff for the United States.
Marion noted that interprovincial trade relevant to international trade has declined from 50% to 40% in recent decades. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has long fought for government to stop taxing its own corporations into oblivion. “It’s ridiculous that it’s still easier for Canadian small firms to do business overseas or across the border than within their own country,” said Chorine Pohlmann, CFIB’s executive vice president of advocacy.
Canadians are ready to welcome fresh leadership after Trudeau’s failure. Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian goods would be disastrous for both economies. However, the Canadian government has shot itself in the foot with policies aimed at boosting international trade while ignoring domestic objectives. We have seen that happen countless times throughout history when nations are so focused on world trade that they end up dampening their own competitiveness. Canada must consider the steps it can currently take to boost business domestically without punishing companies from operating within Canada.

Donald Trump was sworn in and became the 47th president of the United States. He said he would reverse America’s “horrible betrayal” and instead usher in a “golden age” while taking on “a radical and corrupt establishment.” At least this time, he is fully aware of Washington’s corruption, and I wish him all the luck. Our model does show that he will succeed going into 2026 before there will be challenges on the international scene as Europe desires war. Note that the Oath of Office is to protect the country from both foreign and domestic enemies.
After listening to his inauguration speech, it was hard not to be optimistic about a New Dawn for America. President Trump is restoring common sense where there are only two bathrooms and restoring “In God We Trust,” which the Republicans adopted after the Civil War against the Democrats who rejected it back then as they have with abortion again advocating it as birth control. As he listed so many things that had to be reversed that have been a total disaster, it was hard not to notice that Biden and Kamala were sitting right there. Their legacy is nothing but a failure and tainted by corruption and last-minute pardons to even all of his family members, yet claiming they did nothing wrong. This is very strange. To obtain a presidential pardon for a felony, you must submit a formal application to the Office of the Pardon Attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice, typically five years after completing your sentence. The application will be reviewed, and the President has the final authority to grant or deny the pardon.
President Trump pledged to tackle residual inflation by declaring a “national energy emergency” to encourage domestic fossil fuel production, with policy changes that would enable new oil and gas development on federal lands and roll back Biden-era climate regulations, which have been disastrous and this entire net-zero culture has wiped out the European economy. In all honesty, I have stood and watched how this climate policy undermined the German economy, which is reminiscent of how Spain fell from the wealthiest nation on the planet becoming a serial defaulter beginning in 1557, followed by 1570, 1575, 1596, 1607, and 1647 ending in a 3rd world status without hyperinflation. German climate change policy and its own refusal to turn on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline has undermined its economy and that of all of Europe, as no leader is even willing to discuss peace.
This will not be easy because the SWAMP includes many members of Congress, where Trump’s agenda hinges on Congress. We already see Republicans can split to save the SWANP, and differences are already emerging over national debt plans. There is much talk about Trump orienting his administration around personal grievances, including the press’s constant propaganda about the 2020 election and that his claims were false when, in fact, the press refused to ever look at the REAL coup to rig the election. As one such American political Jan 6 hostage, Kyle Becker said:
“I have just received word that I have received a FULL pardon of exoneration. I have wept tears of joy. Thank you Donald Trump for hearing us.”
Never would the press tell the truth that Pelosi shut down any challenge unconstitutionally and then used COVID rules to prevent any challenge from being debated on the full floor when she would not allow more than 53 people on the floor at one time. I am sick and tired of the corrupt press and their corrupt propaganda paid for by the LEFT to undermine this country. The Dail Mail polled Americans asking what is Biden’s lasting legacy. The overwhelming response was “NOTHING,” and that sums up the accomplishments of the Democrats.
Trump has pardoned 1500 people imprisoned for BS, and we call Putin a dictator, claiming Russia does not allow protests. Trump said that six defendants would have their sentences shortened. These people have been distributed around the country to PREVENT their families from even visiting them. He also ordered all federal employees back to the office. They have been working supposedly from home, which does not work for most jobs. Unsupervised union workers tend to think it is their obligation to cheat the employer – that is inbred in Marxism-inspired organizations.
President Trump also signed an executive order Monday night telling the Justice Department not to enforce for 75 days a law that effectively bans TikTok. It was supposed to go into effect a day ago. He also signed an executive action withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, and he claimed the U.S. would save a trillion dollars by leaving the agreement. Another executive order signed by Mr. Trump called for the U.S. to leave the World Health Organization. The order cites “the organization’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic” and “onerous” costs associated with being apart of the international organization as the reasons for the U.S.’ withdrawal.
He began invoking presidential powers to launch a sweeping crackdown on immigration, tasking the military with border enforcement, designating cartels and gangs as terrorist groups and shutting down asylum and refugee admissions, and ending Biden’s catch-and-release. The president declared a national emergency at the southern border and ordered the Defense Department to more heavily involve military resources there, tasking officials to deploy additional troops to the border. Trump also moved to dismantle the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, signing an order to federal agencies to deny birthright citizenship to children of parents who are unauthorized immigrants or temporary visa holders. He also issued executive orders making it a policy of the federal government to recognize only two sexes that cannot be changed: male and female. No longer can you feel like a female one day and a male the next.
President Trump has promised to restore the rule of law and end the weaponizing of the Department of Justice. He touted today as a “historic” first day in office; he enacted 42 executive orders, memoranda, and proclamation actions. Additionally, President Trump signed “115 personnel actions” and more than “200 executive actions.”
He signed an executive order to STOP all government censorship and coercion of the media, restoring FREE SPEECH!!! I think they got the message. I cannot even use the word “vaccine” in any context when I do an interview, or else YouTube will remove the post and ban the interviewer. President Trump stated that he would forge a country that is color-blind and merit-based – the way it should be. He also reinstated all military personnel who refused the COVID-19 vaccine with full back pay.

President Trump also declared a national emergency related to energy costs for American consumers and ended electric vehicle mandates. I have a BMW I8. During the first hurricane, water rose in my driveway by at most 10 inches. No water ever got inside the car. BMW refuses to work on any electric vehicle. I was told by the dealer they trashed over 100 electric cars simply because they got wet. I was told it does not have to be salt water – even fresh water can lead to an electric car exploding. BMW refuses to even look at the vehicle. Sorry. I will never buy another electric car.
The Democrats are already seeking to undermine whatever Trump does against all common sense. They are planning on a full-scale obstruction as they did for his first term with lies and Russia Gate spending tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on propaganda that they crafted falsely. Here is what their email said today:
“We’re writing to ask you to make a donation to the DNC tonight.
Not tomorrow, not next week, but tonight. Here’s why:
Trump was sworn in just a few hours ago. He already has a Republican Congress at his disposal, and he’ll have a Cabinet stacked with billionaires ready to do anything they can to enact his Project 2025 agenda — no matter the harm they cause everyone else.
Democrats are going to need a huge sum of resources to organize and mobilize against any dangerous legislation Trump and his allies have planned.”
The Democrats are already spinning their labels that Trump is the oldest president to be sworn into office at 78, the first Commander-in-Chief to be a convicted felon that they manufactured with a prosecutor acting as a judge who donated to Biden, and the first president to be the subject of two separate impeachments by the House of Representatives for high crimes and misdemeanors that were also without foundation. What they do not get is that their actions have become transparent, for many to see through them as desperate attempts to keep their LEFTIST agents to champion Marxism over America.
Perhaps Trump has delayed his promised renewal of the trade war he launched against China seven years ago after I do know many close to him are our readers and I warn the ECM had turned down into 2028 and we should not accelerate this economic decline. Trump has more reasonably directed his administration to address unfair trade practices globally and investigate whether Beijing had complied with a deal signed during his first term. Trump’s first administration negotiated a “phase one” trade deal with Beijing that ended years of tit-for-tat tariffs, but few of China’s promised purchases of US goods materialized. He
Trump did call for federal agencies to address alleged currency manipulation by other countries. Let us hope he backs off of this nonsense with tariffs, which would send the world into a Great Depression, leaving him with a legacy like Herbert Hoover. I have been pushing every button I can to turn him away from a protectionist approach. I testified before the House Ways & Means Committee, and I invite him to read that testimony. Companies left the USA because the Supreme Court wrongly allowed the income tax to apply to worldwide income. That meant in trade, an American company was 35% higher in price than those from Germany who paid no taxes of external income.
A union representing hundreds of thousands of federal employees has already sued the new Trump administration over its plan to reduce the size of government. The lawsuit from the American Federation of Government Employees and government watchdog groups Public Citizen and State Democracy Defenders Fund was one of three cases filed as Trump was being sworn in today challenging the “Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE. This filing claims that the initiative violates a 1972 US law requiring checks on conflicts of interest, ideological balance, and transparency for groups with a direct line to the White House. This is the corrupt government that once you hand them power, they will fight to retain it. Like Socialism/Communism, you can vote your way in, but you have to shoot your way out. These are the people destroying our country.
Instead of waiting to see whether Trump follows through on his endorsement of a national “strategic” Bitcoin stockpile, which makes no sense, some states are taking matters into their own hands. As local legislative sessions get underway, eight states have already introduced bills proposing crypto reserves. However, while the push to ensure that state governments hold Bitcoin in one form or another has generated momentum among long-time crypto advocates, all the cheering has no economic benefit. During the Great Depression, over 200 cities had to issue their own currency to facilitate commerce. Bitcoin reserves will do nothing to enhance the economy for these people fail to even understand what makes the economy in the first place.
Inflation is NOT caused by the increase in money supply. That has been proven dead wrong with all the central bank expansion of money by purchasing in government debt. The bulk of the money supply today is debt, which is now money that pays interest, and central banks have ZERO control over the debt issue. Unless Trump is willing to open his mind and eyes to what is the real problem, all the bitcoin in the world will never prevent sovereign defaults.
Some of the world’s richest people turned out Monday to pay homage to Trump. It was a who’s who of the world’s wealthiest—gathering a combined net worth exceeding $1.3 trillion for the occasion. Seated prominently behind the Trump family were Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg. Also, there were Bernard Arnault, France’s richest man, Alphabet co-founder Sergey Brin, John Paulson, and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

The leftist media are calling this “revenge,” however, in reality it is more akin to modest accountability given the nature of the conduct and motive behind it.
President Trump issued an executive order late Monday [SEE HERE] seeking to revoke the security clearances of 50 former intelligence and high-ranking government officials. Each of the officials participated in the widely discussed election interference operation surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop and the 2020 election.
The Intelligence Community (IC, aka Deep State, aka “six ways from Sunday” group) forms the tip of the spear in both controlling U.S politics, manipulating intelligence gathering machinery – including those used to control politicians, and targeting any entity who tries to confront their unconstitutional efforts. In short, the IC is the Fourth Branch of Government, and they have grown to operate with malicious intent.
It was the IC operation who targeted President Trump in 2016 and throughout his first term. It is the same IC who manipulate media for political gain and who weaponized information surrounding the Hunter Biden laptop in 2020. In President Trump’s second term, starting now, it is only by confronting the IC officials, named and hidden, that putting America-First policy into place will succeed.
Any and all efforts to fight and destroy the IC are supported by CTH and this assembly of research wolverines.
In a mostly symbolic message that will gain massive attention, President Trump now starts to revoke the Security Clearances of multiple IC officials who have been exposed as an outcome of the Biden Laptop operation. I say ‘symbolic’ because President Trump is well aware of the IC motives, and they have been removed from influence over the executive branch operation; more on that later.
Here is the Executive Order that fires a shot across the bow of the corrupt apparatus.
Sec. 2. Policy. (a) It is the policy of the United States to ensure that the Intelligence Community not be engaged in partisan politics or otherwise used by a U.S. political campaign for electioneering purposes.

(b) It is the policy of the United States that individuals who hold government-issued security clearances should not use their clearance status to influence U.S. elections.
(c) It is the policy of the United States that classified information not be publicly disclosed in memoirs, especially those published for personal monetary gain.

(i) any additional inappropriate activity that occurred within the Intelligence Community, by anyone contracted by the Intelligence Community or by anyone who held a security clearance, related to the letter signed by the 51 former intelligence officials;
(ii) recommendations to prevent the Intelligence Community or anyone who works for or within it from inappropriately influencing domestic elections; and
(iii) any disciplinary action—including the termination of security clearances—that should be taken against anyone who engaged in inappropriate conduct related to the letter signed by the 51 former intelligence officials.
Sec. 4. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.
This is a silo penetrating MOAB that starts the beginning of a war that will leave only one system standing, a Constitutional Republic or IC controlled Totalitarianism. Either President Donald Trump wins or We the People will be stuck within the illusion of democracy.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attend the Commander in Chief Ball in Washington DC with phenomenal enthusiasm.
After a short celebratory dance and introductions with the Vice President and Second Lady, President Trump delivered remarks to a highly engaged military audience. The entire Trump family was present to celebrate the events of inauguration day with members of the U.S. military.
.
An important note for those who follow statement fashion, First Lady Melania Trump is wearing a gown designed by Hervé Pierre. The STUNNING design is a strapless off-white silk crepe gown with two bands of black silk gazar. As an accent, Melania borrowed a diamond broach that was created by Harry Winston in 1955 and wore it as a choker. Its design is meant to reflect Pierre’s concept for the gown – a ribbon encircling a bouquet of flowers – as indicated in his initial sketch for the dress.

Stone cold and deliberate. President Trump deliberately and with great intent, signed a massive number of pre-planned, organized, legally structured and laser focused executive orders while holding a press availability in the oval office.
As noted by Politico – […] [President Trump] spent 45 minutes taking dozens of questions from reporters in the Oval as he pardoned or commuted the sentences of more than 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters — including those convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers and seditious conspiracy — and signed another swath of orders overhauling the federal government’s treatment of immigrants and withdrawing the country from the World Health Organization. “What a great feeling,” Trump said of returning back to the Oval. “One of the better feelings I’ve had.”
The pardons for J6 are for everyone. The 15 sentence commutations noted are for those currently imprisoned after conviction with more under review. The language of the J6 Pardons and Commutations is below:
This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation.
Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I do hereby:
(a) commute the sentences of the following individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, to time served as of January 20, 2025:
• Stewart Rhodes
• Kelly Meggs
• Kenneth Harrelson
• Thomas Caldwell
• Jessica Watkins
• Roberto Minuta
• Edward Vallejo
• David Moerschel
• Joseph Hackett
• Ethan Nordean
• Joseph Biggs
• Zachary Rehl
• Dominic Pezzola
• Jeremy Bertino
(b) grant a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021;
The Attorney General shall administer and effectuate the immediate issuance of certificates of pardon to all individuals described in section (b) above, and shall ensure that all individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, who are currently held in prison are released immediately. The Bureau of Prisons shall immediately implement all instructions from the Department of Justice regarding this directive.
I further direct the Attorney General to pursue dismissal with prejudice to the government of all pending indictments against individuals for their conduct related to the events at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Bureau of Prisons shall immediately implement all instructions from the Department of Justice regarding this directive.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth. [SOURCE]

Like many of you I am absorbing the shock and awe evident in the planning of President Trump’s first day after his swearing in. Sometimes there is just so much news from events, its best to just elevate, watch it all unfold and appreciate the full context of how these moments came to fruition.
So much to discuss, almost too much. Meanwhile, in the background, you can see the furious shadows of those who operate in the opaque places, behind the glass. The political calculations and lesser visible downstream effects of the Trump tsunami are happening in real time across a massive swath of offices, complexes and institutional silos. That activity is where my focus remains.
Here is President Trump delivering remarks to the assembled audience inside Capital One Arena in Washington DC. Fire for effect!
