Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, the twin brothers who work at the NSC & who participated in an attempted coup to remove President Trump, were both escorted from the White House and removed from their position “with no explanation” on Friday. No word yet on whether the White House kept their coats.
Hey, President Trump was previously accused of breaking up families at the border; well, this time he kept them together. Out!… Now let’s get rid of ICIG Michael Atkinson
Politico – Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a central witness in the impeachment charges against President Donald Trump, was removed from his job and escorted out of the White House on Friday, according to his lawyer, raising concerns that the president has kicked off a long-foreshadowed campaign of retribution.
Vindman’s removal from a detail at the National Security Council, first reported by CNN, came just two days after Trump’s acquittal in his impeachment trial and hours after the president told reporters he was “not happy” with the NSC aide.
[…] Vindman’s attorney indicated that the Iraq War veteran’s twin brother Yevgeny, who serves as a senior lawyer on the NSC, was also removed from his post and exited the White House alongside his brother. (more)

All those corrupt local Puerto Rico officials who have used U.S. disaster response aid to enrich themselves had better watch out. President Trump has just assigned Coast Guard Rear Admiral Peter J. Brown to take charge of all U.S. efforts on the island.
Rear Admiral Brown is an excellent man with a servants heart, but he is also a very deliberate and serious man. And this man knows the island; we have crossed paths….
[White House] President Donald J. Trump has named U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral Peter J. Brown of Florida as his Special Representative for Puerto Rico’s Disaster Recovery. In this capacity, Admiral Brown will coordinate United States Government efforts to build the infrastructure and resiliency of Puerto Rico.
The island of Puerto Rico was devastated by Category 4 Hurricane Maria in September 2017, suffering significant loss of life and catastrophic damage to infrastructure. In January 2020, Puerto Rico was struck by a magnitude 6.4 earthquake and hundreds of additional aftershocks and tremors, damaging hundreds of homes and infrastructure.
Multiple Federal agencies continue to respond to the needs of the people of Puerto Rico, and billions of dollars in Federal funding have been allocated responsibly to response and recovery work. Admiral Brown will be the White House coordinator for those ongoing efforts at the national level, in collaboration with other White House components, including the Office of Legislative Affairs, Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, and Office of Management and Budget.
In addition, he will work with senior officials in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Congress to ensure that their concerns are communicated to the appropriate departments and agencies and to ensure the resources of hardworking taxpayers are effectively used to help the people of Puerto Rico.
On Wednesday, February 5, Rear Admiral Brown met with Puerto Rico Governor Wanda Vazquez Garced, along with Puerto Rico’s Congressional Representative, Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon. Admiral Brown, Governor Vazquez, and Congresswoman Gonzalez-Colon discussed the Administration’s commitment to the people of Puerto Rico and Admiral Brown’s new role to help further Puerto Rico’s ongoing recovery.
Before joining the White House in July 2019 as the Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor, Rear Admiral Brown was the Commander of the Seventh Coast Guard District headquartered in Miami, Florida, where he was responsible for all Coast Guard operations in the Southeast United States and the Caribbean Basin.
A career Coast Guard officer with more than 34 years of service, Rear Admiral Brown’s first duty station in the Coast Guard was in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and he has served more than half of his career in the Caribbean. Originally from Somers, New York, Rear Admiral Brown is a 1985 graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with a Bachelor’s degree in chemistry. He also earned a Master’s degree in chemistry from the University of Miami and a law degree from the University of Connecticut. (link)

White House trade and manufacturing policy advisor Peter Navarro appears on Fox News to discuss the strong January jobs report of 225,000 gains. Navarro highlights something few pay attention to. The Trump administration not only focuses on the macro policy principles to create the economic environment for job growth, but President Trump also personally engages on specific company, state, and regional efforts.
The engagement of a U.S. president to discuss and influence U.S. jobs on a company by company basis, and get down in the details of deals, is a completely unique political standard in the modern era. President Trump is very uniquely fighting for each job.
.
It is very disappointing to hear vulture capitalist Jeff Bezos having a disinterest in protecting American intellectual property rights, and instead choosing to accept/allow cheap Chinese, knock-off goods as the backbone of his Amazon business model.
National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow appears on Fox Business to discuss the excellent January jobs report. Job gains and wage increases are all going in the right direction…. And Stuart Varney immediately asks: “do we need more immigration”?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases the January jobs and labor report and the results are MAGAnificent. 225,000 jobs gained in January; non-supervisory wage growth against exceeds supervisory at 3.2%; and 185,000 workers re-entered the workforce.
The 225,000 new jobs far exceeded expectations. Economists were looking for 160,000. Also the November report was revised up by 5,000 (from +256,000 to +261,000) and the change for December was revised up by 2,000 from (+145,000 to +147,000). With these revisions, employment gains in November and December combined were 7,000 higher than previously reported.
Keep in mind these excellent jobs results are without the domestic investment expected to be produced by the USMCA manufacturing realignment. As goods producing companies start evaluating the new total production costs, the investment shift toward North America will likely keep a tailwind on our economic growth and jobs.
[…] “The second, which is almost as important, but less obvious, is labor force participation is trending higher and because it’s still so far below previous cyclical peaks.
If that continues to go up, because people are being pulled into the workforce, that means that these big jobs gain that a lot of people have been thinking were going to slow are going to continue. They’re going to continue longer relative to whatever your baseline was, i.e., we’re not running out of people because participation is going up, that’s great. That’s great for everybody.”

[Transcript] – THE PRESIDENT: So I just got this; it was just handed to me. This is the D.C. Circuit and we just won the big emoluments case. I think it was a unanimous decision. This was brought by Nancy Pelosi and her group. It just came out a few minutes ago. So I’ll be reading it on the helicopter. But it was a total win. This was brought by 230 Democrats in Congress on emoluments. It was another phony case and we won it three to nothing. We won it unanimously.
Q Mr. President, is Mick Mulvaney going to stay your Chief of Staff or —
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Yeah.
Q — are you looking to replace him?
THE PRESIDENT: That was a false report. I have a great relationship with Mick. I have a great relationship with Mark. And it’s false.
Q Mr. President, would you like to see Alexander Vindman out of your White House? Do you want Alexander Vindman out of your —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m not happy with him. Do you think I’m supposed to be happy with him? I’m not.
Q Is he going to leave?
THE PRESIDENT: They’ll make that decision.
Q Will he leave?
THE PRESIDENT: You’ll be hearing —
Q Is he going to leave?
THE PRESIDENT: They’ll make a decision.
Q President Trump, is he on the way out?
THE PRESIDENT: They’re going to be making that decision.
Q Has FISA abuse changed your opinion about Edward Snowden — whether he is a whistleblower or a traitor? Has FISA abuse against your campaign —
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t understand. I can’t hear. You have to speak louder.
Q Has FISA abuse against your campaign changed your opinion about whether Edward Snowden —
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we were abused by the FISA process; there’s no question about it. We were seriously abused by FISA, by what they did, and by what they signed and who signed. It’s a terrible thing that happened. And we were absolutely abused, as per your question. Yeah.
Q Mr. President, your Press Secretary —
Q Mr. President, how bad is it between you and Mick Mulvaney, Mr. President?
Q Your Press — excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
THE PRESIDENT: How’s she doing? All right?
Q Your Press Secretary said your political opponents “should pay.” Who should pay and how will they pay?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you’ll see. I mean, we’ll see what happens.
Q We haven’t heard from you about your thoughts about Nancy Pelosi ripping up your speech. And will you ever be able to work with her?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I thought it was a terrible thing when she ripped up the speech. First of all, it’s an official document. You’re not allowed — it’s illegal what she did. She broke the law. But I haven’t — I haven’t been asked a question — other than a lot of people that viewed it; they couldn’t believe that she did it. I thought it was terrible. I thought it was very disrespectful to the Chamber, to the country.
And, you know, look, I — people — I got very high marks on the speech. And I didn’t know she did it until I was walking out and some of the congressmen and women were saying, “Can you believe what she did?” But I didn’t know she did it.
Q Are you ever going to be able to really work with her in any constructive way?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think there’s a lot of evil on that side. They’ve gone crazy. They’ve gone totally crazy; it’s too bad. I’ve gotten tremendous amounts done — more than anybody has gotten done in three years, by far. But they’re not constructive people.
Q Will you be able to work with any of the Democrats? Do you see any way to work with them?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I do work with Democrats. I work with everybody. But that group is — you know, they say “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” They’ve got it. They’ve got a bad case of it. You saw that. That was on display the other night when she ripped up the speech. That was terrible. It was a terrible — so disrespectful to our country. And actually very illegal, what she did.
Q Are you getting rid of Mulvaney and Vindman, Mr. President?
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah, I gave the answer. That was a false report.
Q So, manufacturing evidence is a felony crime in all 50 states. Does the administration intend to go after Adam Schiff for his role in the impeachment trial in manufacturing evidence?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I mean, I have to say this: We just came out with fantastic job numbers. I think it was 230,000 or something thereabout, which was much higher than projection. So jobs continue to be great. Our country continues to do great.
I’m now going to North Carolina. Some of you, maybe, are coming. But the jobs report just came out and it’s great.
Q You have been acquitted. Do you still want the Ukrainian President to dig up dirt on your political rivals like Joe Biden?
THE PRESIDENT: No. These people — they’re their own people. I’m not their boss. And I don’t think they’ve done anything, as far as I know. But it’s very sad what happened with the Bidens. And it’s also very sad how he’s doing — how he’s doing in the polls.
Now, I understand the votes are fried in Iowa. They couldn’t even take a simple tabulation, and yet they’re telling you how to run the country and how to run healthcare. I think they fried their votes on computer. Think about it: All the money that the Democrats spent and the votes are fried. They have no idea who won. They have no idea.
But I’ll tell you who won on the Republican side: They accounted for every single vote, and it was a lot of votes. It was a record-setting number of votes: Trump won.
Q Follow-up: Pete Buttigieg — Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders. Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders. Who’s the bigger threat?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, you don’t know what happened in Iowa because, if you look — I mean, they’re essentially tied. But they couldn’t keep tabulation of their votes.
Q Is Pete Buttigieg a threat? Do you see him as a threat? Pete Buttigieg.
THE PRESIDENT: Everybody is a threat. I view everybody as a threat. I even view John as a threat. You never know.
Q Mr. President, a question about China.
THE PRESIDENT: Yeah.
Q Are you concerned that China is covering up the full extent of coronavirus?
THE PRESIDENT: No. China is working very hard. Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They’re working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job.
They’re in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We’re working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It’s a tough situation. I think they’re doing a very good job.
Q Are you concerned about its potential impact on the global economy?
THE PRESIDENT: I think that China will do a very good job.
Q Should the House expunge your impeachment? Should the House expunge your impeachment in the future? Should they expunge your impeachment?
THE PRESIDENT: They should because it was a hoax. That’s a very good question: “Should they expunge the impeachment in the House?” They should because it was a hoax. It was a total political hoax.
Q Mr. President, how do you unify — how do you unify — Mr. President, how do you unify the country in this moment? You’re attacking your rivals —
THE PRESIDENT: You know what’s going to unify the country — and it’s already unified it in a lot of ways? All you have to do is look at our crowds and look at our support. What unifies it is the great success. Our country today is more successful than it has ever been, and that’s unifying the country.
Devin Nunes discusses attending yesterdays White House remarks by President Trump at the conclusion of the impeachment effort. Representative Nunes notes the DC media are “assassins” united in an effort to target their political opposition.
[…] And a man nobody has ever heard of, except the other side. He’s the other side’s worst nightmare. This guy goes down into dungeons and basements; he’ll find a document, no matter what. He’s the most legitimate human being. He’s the hardest worker. He’s unbelievable. He took tremendous abuse. I mean, abuse.
The — the media and, you know, the other side, and the bad ones, the leakers, the liars, the dirty cops — they wanted to destroy him. They tried. They got close, but he wouldn’t let it happen. And, honestly, in a certain way, he was the first one. Wouldn’t you say, Jim and Mark and everybody? This was the first guy. He came out of nowhere. He’s saying, “These people are corrupt.” He’s still saying it. And he was unbelievable. Devin Nunes. He was unbelievable. Unbelievable. (Applause.) That’s so true, Devin.
He’d come in and say — I didn’t even know hi;, I just heard there were like — there was this congressman who kept going into a basement — into files. (Laughter.) He knew something was wrong. You felt it, right? And now we know a lot more than we knew then, right? You never thought it was as bad as it is. And hopefully we’re going to take care of things, because we can never, ever allow this to happen again. (Applause.)
Romney is neither Mittens nor Pierre Delecto anymore. He’s now Benedict Romney–a turncoat and traitor.
Like Judge Andrew Napolitano, Romney didn’t receive spoils from the president and so he turned against him. Romney is a notorious flip flopper who has changed his positions repeatedly. His ‘GUILTY’ vote against Trump was a flop.
Romney didn’t try very hard to defeat a very beatable Obama. He will never be president and it must grate on him to see Trump’s success. Rick Gorka, a former Romney press secretary, said the senator’s decision to convict the president Trump for ‘abuse of power’ was motivated by bitterness and jealousy. Romney claims he couldn’t vote “not guilty” due to hisconscience. We laughed out loud when we heard him say that.
Romney has a severe case of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’ He is McCain 2.0.
Nancy Pelosi tore up Trump’s speech and Mitt Romney tore up any chance he had of ever being respected again by his own party.
I previously warned that the Democrats were considering a second Impeachment. The Democrats cannot defeat Trump in a fair election. They have sought to effectively stage a coup and Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat is launching an investigation of President Trump and his entire family as well as his businesses. The new theory is he must be guilty of money laundering and maybe bribery. Obviously, they are desperately trying to prevent a loss in 2020.
Meanwhile, in the Senate, there is a consideration that they will investigate the Democrats who launched the impeachment 1.0, to begin with. The fact the Impeachment was actually served on Trump and he had to respond on Saturday in writing the very day of the ECM turning point, appears to mark the decline and fall of the United States. The Impeachment powers have been completely abused and the Founding Fathers NEVER intended that a president should be impeached for any crime that did not have anything to do with his direct office.
To even allege that Trump should be investigated for having any business benefit because he is President flies in the face of the conduct of every politician not to mention Pelosi, Biden, and of course, Hillary Clinton (see Profiles in Corruption). The Democrats have refused to accept Trump as president from DAY ONE, and this posture has been so destructive to the nation as a whole, that our forecast for the 2020 election being violent and insane is probably going down as one of our major political forecasts along with BREXIT and the Trump ele4ction in 2016. This is by NO MEANS, something I would like to see and nothing to brag about.
As we move toward 2032, there is just no going back. What the Democrats have done is more than tearing up Trump’s speech, this is an outright political coup to overthrown our democratic form of government. The resentment will be so intense that this political decision will be the end of government as we know it. This has become a reality show with deadly consequences.
Perhaps now all the Doubting Thomas people who think the government is in control and the business cycle is dead, will wake up and realize the one thing you should NOT have in a portfolio is government debt as we cascade into 203
According to Jennifer Jacobs at Bloomberg News the Vindman weasel may soon be removed from the National Security Council. Hopefully a full damage assessment has been conducted in the wake of the national security damage Vindman has created.
As would be expected from modern media the Bloomberg article is written to emphasize their ideological position that President Donald Trump, the head of the Executive Branch, should not be allowed to select the people who provide him advice and counsel:
Bloomberg – The White House is weighing a plan to dismiss Alexander Vindman from the National Security Council after he testified in President Donald Trump’s impeachment inquiry, preparing to position the move as part of a broader effort to shrink the foreign policy bureaucracy, two people familiar with the matter said.
[…] Senior officials were informed on Thursday that some staff would be leaving the White House, the people added. The moves have been in the works since at least last week and could come as soon as Friday.
The departure of Vindman could trigger objections from Democrats and possibly some Republicans. Those concerns could mount if the Trump administration acts against additional government officials. (read more)
When we consider that Lt. Col. Vindman was carrying out what he believed to be his role; and when you overlay his military purpose; and when we accept Vindman was assisting CIA agent Eric Ciaramella in constructing his dossier to remove President Trump; and when we stand back and look at the aggregate interests involved; and when we consider there was ZERO push-back from the ranks of military leadership, specifically the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and when you accept Vindman was simply allowed to return to his post inside the White House – where he remains today; well, the alarming aspect increases in direct proportion to the definition of the word: “coup”.
Beyond the debate about the optics of the “coup“, within the testimony of Lt. Col Vindman, the NSC witness readily admits to understanding the officially established policy of the President of The United States (an agreement between President Trump and President Zelenskyy), and stunningly admits that two weeks later he was giving countermanding instructions to his Ukrainian counterpart to ignore President Trump’s policies.
The coup against President Donald Trump went from soft, to hard. Consider…
Borrowing from Roscoe B Davis, here are some highlights:
Representative John Ratcliffe begins deconstructing Lt. Col Vindman, while his arrogant attorneys begin trying to interfere with the questioning.
This next section is very interesting, and very important.
Congressman John Ratcliffe begins questioning Vindman from the perspective of an Article 92 violation {READ IT}, coupled with an Article 88 violation {READ IT}. President Trump, is Lt. Col Vindman’s superior. President Trump sets the foreign policy.
Any commissioned officer who uses contemptuous words against the President, the Vice President, Congress, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of a military department, the Secretary of Homeland Security, or the Governor or legislature of any State, Commonwealth, or possession in which he is on duty or present shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. [Article 88, UCMJ]
Two weeks after President Trump has established an agreement with Ukraine President Zelenskyy, and established the policy direction therein, Lt. Col. Vindman is now giving contrary instructions to the Ukranian government. Vindman’s lawyer recognizes where the questioning is going and goes absolutely bananas:
