May 28, 2026 - An ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey is under siege; threat made to ICE agent and his family

I’m going to ask the question again: Why Doesn’t the FBI Stop this violent, organized, national activity?

As President Trump is known to say, “don’t make it complicated.” Just look at things as they are, as they present themselves to be, and ask the most obvious questions.

“Domestic Tranquility?” Consider Antifa.

How can a group within America openly threaten police, use violence against police, throw Molotov cocktails, bricks and explosive fireworks at police. Use batons, shields, bats and physical violence against police and federal law enforcement; destroy vehicles, set cars on fire, destroy property, trash and block the streets and create chaos, completely without consequence?

It doesn’t matter where it is happening, that’s irrelevant. Think plainly and simply.

How does any individual or group get to do this without being arrested?

It doesn’t make sense, unless….

…. Unless…. The group conducting the violence cannot be arrested.

Day after day; night after night, in most major metropolitan areas around the nation, the group known as “Antifa” operate with impunity. They are organized; they are funded; they communicate locally, regionally and nationally. They mobilize in designated and coordinated areas of operation, and they are exceptionally violent and dangerous.

So how is it they can operate?

They build encampments outside federal facilities and openly fight with federal officials and law enforcement. Yet, nothing is done. Why not?

If the FBI did not support Antifa, quite simply Antifa would not exist. They are right there, highly visible, doing illegal things on camera, repeatedly, all over the country, and the FBI doesn’t lift a finger to stop them. Why?

The only thing that makes sense is that the FBI wants this activity to take place.

If they did not want it to take place, they would stop it and arrest the lawbreakers who are attacking federal buildings and officers. Why hasn’t the FBI designated antifa as a domestic terrorist organization? The visuals of trashed streets, barricades, smoke bombs, riots, semi-frequent baton clashes in the streets, etc. etc. must serve some purpose for the FBI or they would stop it.

This is not misdemeanor behavior.

Arrest the participants and put them into federal prisons.

This is not complicated.

The FBI supports Antifa. If they did not support them, the FBI would stop them.

Remember this.

May 29, 2026 - Treasury Secretary Bessent confirms a major probe into Antifa’s billionaire funders is underway

SOROS’S ANTIFA MONEY MACHINE IS BEING SHUT DOWN!

Secretary Bessent just confirmed a MAJOR PROBE into Antifa’s billionaire funders is underway and they are making substantial progress.
“There’s substantial progress. We’re going to have a LOT to report.”
The party is OVER for the riot funders.
Thanks to new IRS Form 990 rules, these so-called nonprofits can no longer hide their “cash to riot” schemes. No more secret transfers from globalist foundations straight into Antifa’s street army.
For years they bankrolled the chaos, the burning cities, the division, and the Marxist takeover attempts while pretending it was all organic grassroots resistance. Open borders. Defund the police. Endless lawfare. It was never random. It was orchestrated from the top.
The puppet masters are finally being dragged into the sunlight.
The Deep State’s domestic terror pipeline is about to be completely exposed.
How many billions flowed through these fake charities? Which billionaires have been financing the black-masked brownshirts?
Tick tock, George. The reckoning is coming.

June 1, 2026 - Paul Krugman: “We really need to do a thorough purging of the United States." - “We need a deMAGAfication…similar to de-Nazification"

Democrats don’t want debate—they want domination and punishment.

Paul Krugman openly calling for a “thorough purging” and
“deMAGAfication” of America modeled on de-Nazification is one of the most depraved, un-American things a public intellectual has said in my lifetime.

This is a New York Times columnist fantasizing about persecuting and silencing half the country. The mask is gone.

The immorality is staggering. Krugman isn’t a serious thinker; he’s a vengeful partisan who spent decades being wrong about nearly everything while cashing checks from the very institutions he helped corrupt.

Now that Americans rejected their agenda, his solution is authoritarian revenge dressed up as morality.

Disgusting. And dangerous. Never forget who said this.

June 2, 2026 - Obama's Marxist history and how DEI—Woke infiltrated the U.S. government

Here is:

Barack Obama, in the early 1990s, leads a protest at Marxist Harvard University in support of then-professor Derrick Bell.

Bell was a founder of DEI and critical race theory. He spent his career teaching that Whites are oppressors and Blacks are victims. He went on strike at Harvard, demanding the school hire more Black professors. Sounds familiar?

Over a dozen Harvard professors went to work for the Obama abomination administration after he won the election in 2008.

And that’s how Marxists—DEI—Woke—have effectively hijacked and infiltrated the U.S. government.

RealRobert… This DEI Program has within it an additional item that few may have knowledge of.
Its “IAT”… “Implicit Association Testing”.

It was Introduced into Biden’s Federal Gov. as an Intitiative to “Train Any Implicit Bias .. Out of You”.
His Exec Order 14035 was the DEI Initiative.

In my Humble opinion ..IAT is The Most Dangerous Control Mechanism ever devised by Man.
http://preservingamericaepac.com

Obama is selected as one of 40 editors of the Harvard Law Review (HLR), but he apparently writes only one article for the publication. In it, he argues against placing any limits on abortion, with the remarkable statement that abortions would “…prevent increasing numbers of children born into lives of pain and despair.” (In other words, “Their lives will be miserable anyway, so why not just abort them now?”) His fellow editors elect Obama president of the HLR, partly in sympathetic response to the demands of Professor Derrick Bell that a black woman be appointed to the law faculty—a racist and sexist demand which Obama fully supported.

Derrick Bell is a proponent of “critical race theory,” which argues that the centuries-old foundation of law in the United States should be replaced by a new system of justice that takes into account past inequities like slavery. Bell argues that the law should treat people not just as individuals; it should also have different rules for different groups. Because of the injustices of slavery and past discrimination, for example, a convicted black crack cocaine dealer should be treated less harshly in his sentencing than a white drug dealer. Bell is among a growing group of leftists who are willing to discard American laws and traditions simply because they were the achievements of “old white men,” and whose goals are symbolized by the chanting of Jesse Jackson at a 1987 Stanford demonstration: “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western culture’s got to go!”

The syllabus for a class Obama teaches in the spring of 1994, “Current Issues in Racism and the Law,” covers the topics, “Discussion of Reconstruction and Jim Crow,” “Discussion of Black Response,” and “Discussion of Civil Rights/Backlash.” Student discussion topics suggested by Obama include, “The All-Black, All-Male School,” “Interracial Adoptions,” “Racial Gerrymandering,” “Race and the Criminal Justice System,” “Racial Bias in the Media,” “Welfare Policy and Reproductive Freedom,” “Affirmative Action,” and “Reparations.” For the slavery reparations discussion, Obama poses such sample questions as, “Do such proposals have any realistic chance of working their way through the political system?” and “Would there be any legal impediments to such a broadly-conceived reparations policy?” Required reading assigned by Obama includes works by Derrick Bell, his critical race theory professor at Harvard. If most of the classes taught by Obama are in a similar vein (another of his classes was called “Race, Racism, and the Law”), he should be considered a teacher of race and the law, rather than a professor of constitutional law. His choice of subject matter suggests that the issue of race affects every aspect of his life.

June 2, 2026 - Nick Shirley: A prime example of fraud and waste inside California's homeless industrial complex

June 2, 2026 - Data Republican: How a Protest is Built - Delaney Hall

ORG CHART EXPOSED: Which NGOs Are Organizing the Newark Protests, and How a six-word Signal message shut down a thousand-person protest.

On the night of June 1, 2026, journalist @NickSortor drove to Delaney Hall expecting what he’d seen for ten straight days: hundreds of protesters surrounding Newark’s 1,000-bed ICE detention facility, human chains blocking federal vehicles, pepper balls and tear gas, helmets and gas masks distributed from organized supply stations, catered meals arriving on schedule. He found silence. The crowd — 200-plus the night before — was gone, with tens of thousands of dollars in pre-staged gear abandoned in place.

What happened between Sunday morning and Sunday night was a single message in an encrypted Signal group, as discovered by @bitchuneedsoap. A Cosecha NJ communicator posted a six-line announcement: “Cosecha is NOT mobilizing to Delaney Hall tonight. We are talking to strikers and their families to regroup.” No negotiation, no vote, no gradual loss of enthusiasm. Some switch had been flipped off.

The natural question is how a protest of that size can be turned off with one message. The answer is that it was never a protest in the way most people understand the word. It was an operation — assembled, maintained, and disbanded through an organizational structure that looks, once you map it, like a military deployment with a nonprofit org chart.

The structure has four layers. Each answers a different question. Layer 1 decides whether to act. Layer 2 decides how many show up. Layer 3 decides what happens on the ground. Layer 4 keeps the whole thing running across days.

Understanding these layers is understanding how every major protest in America works, because the same people built the template.

Layer 1: Strategy

Four organizations sit at the top. They don’t move bodies. They decide if bodies should be moved.

The parent node is the Ayni Institute, a Massachusetts nonprofit founded by Carlos Saavedra. Ayni incubated three organizations: Cosecha (the dispatch network that ran Newark), Momentum Community (which wrote the training curriculum), and IfNotNow (an anti-Israel movement which adapted the model for other movements). Ayni has trained over 13,000 activists globally. It reported$3.29 million in assets for 2024.

Momentum Community, based in Long Beach, California, provides the theoretical framework. Co-founded by Saavedra and Paul Engler, Momentum developed what they call “hybrid organizing” — fusing union-style discipline with mass protest energy. Their key innovation is a concept called “frontloading”: concentrating the bulk of organizing resources into a short escalation window rather than spreading them across years. This is exactly the pattern at Delaney Hall, where crowd size spiked from dozens to 200-plus within four days.

Organizations that adopted Momentum’s methodology include Cosecha, IfNotNow, and the Sunrise Movement — a lineage documented in Waging Nonviolence’s 2021 reporting on the model’s spread. The same activation mechanics used at Delaney Hall have been deployed across climate protests, anti-war actions, and campus occupations.

The third strategic player is NDLON — the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, headquartered in Los Angeles with 69 member organizations nationwide. NDLON created the “ICE Out of NJ” campaign and ran a Justice Bus tour on March 27, 2026, making six stops across New Jersey to map local organizational capacity. That tour happened 56 days before the hunger strike. It functioned as a network dry run: establishing who could do what, where, and how fast.

NDLON’s Organizing Director, Jorge Torres, coordinated the eleven-organization ICE Out of NJ collective from a national perch. NDLON’s communications director, Palmira Figueroa, handled media for the Newark protests from a 425 area code — that’s Seattle. A national LA-based organization’s Seattle-area press person was running comms for a Newark protest. The chain of command was never local.

NDLON received over $2 million in direct Open Society Foundations grants between 2016 and 2022.

The fourth strategic entity is NJAIJ — the New Jersey Alliance for Immigrant Justice, a 50-plus member coalition that provides institutional legitimacy. NJAIJ doesn’t dispatch people. It provides the respectable umbrella under which action campaigns operate. Its website hosts both the “ICE Out of NJ” and “Eyes on ICE” campaign pages. It is fiscally sponsored by NEO Philanthropy — its donate page routes through Network for Good “care of NEO Philanthropy,” and grants to NJAIJ are received by NEO Philanthropy’s entity — which reported $168.9 million in revenue for 2024. Under current IRS fiscal sponsorship rules, sponsored projects don’t file their own Form 990. The money is invisible.

Multiple organizations hold simultaneous membership in both NJAIJ’s 57-member coalition and ICE Out of NJ’s eleven-organization collective. These dual-membership organizations are the bridge between the respectable policy wing and the action wing. Directives can flow between them without a visible command hierarchy.

This is where the crowd comes from. Layer 2 is how 200 people materialize at an industrial lot in Newark on a Tuesday.

Cosecha NJ runs a cell structure borrowed from movement theory. They call them “circles” — groups of 3 to 7 people, each with a communicator whose job is to receive and relay activation messages. Circles combine into “communities,” communities into “villages.” Any three people who share Cosecha’s vision can form a circle with no permission from national leadership. Cosecha’s own documentation, published on Gitbook, describes the model.

At the 2017 Day Without Immigrants action, approximately 80 circles were coordinated nationally by a 27-member national team. If roughly 50 circles are active in the NJ/NY/PA corridor, a single message to circle communicators reaches 150 to 350 people; the math of the circle model itself. When you see a crowd appear at a protest within hours, this is the mechanism. It’s not word of mouth. It’s a relay network with assigned roles.

Cosecha also operates one of the only statewide rapid response hotlines in New Jersey — a partnership with DIRE branded “Cosecha X DIRE,” reachable at a 1-888 number. Three other hotlines cover individual counties. Cosecha covers the state. When an ICE alert goes out anywhere in New Jersey, Cosecha’s hotline is the one that activates the broadest network.

The dispatch layer also includes Signal-coordinated shuttles along the I-95 corridor bringing participants from New York and Philadelphia to Newark. In the one arrest batch with full geographic data — six arrests on Friday, May 30 — five of six were from out of state.

Cosecha claims zero paid staff. Instead, “over 30 volunteer organizers work for the movement full-time” through what appears to be communal living arrangements. This shows up on the IRS filings: zero executive compensation. The communal living model means organizers have near-zero personal expenses and can be redeployed to any geography on short notice.

Layer 3: Tactics

The people who show up have been trained. The training pipeline runs from Momentum Community’s hybrid organizing curriculum through the War Resisters League NVDA Agenda,  Beautiful Trouble tactical toolbox, and Ruckus Society direct action techniques. NJAIJ hosts the Ruckus Society’s“Direct Action & Safety” curriculum on its own website. Module titles include “Introduction to Blockades” and “Advanced Blockades.”

The Eyes on ICE Substack, with 42,000-plus subscribers, publishes a comprehensive wiki document that teaches the SALUTE report — a standard U.S. Army tactical intelligence format (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) adapted for civilian ICE monitoring. Signal is mandatory. Biometrics disabled. Metadata scrubbed.

At Delaney Hall, the tactical layer deployed human chains, de-arrest positioning, clergy blockades, and lockbox devices — all standard techniques from the documented curriculum. The crowd was executing a playbook.

A small cadre of 5 to 15 serial protest deployers traveled from outside the region. Ian Austin, an Army Ranger from Pennsylvania, had been arrested at a Minnesota church harboring migrants in January before deploying to Newark. John Rozendaal, a 65-year-old cellist from Manhattan, had four prior arrests across climate and police protests. Nicholas Scelfo from Brooklyn was tracked from BLM 2020 to the No Kings coalition to Delaney Hall, where he was charged with threatening to murder an ICE officer. DHS Secretary Mullin said agents arrested people who “came in from Portland to lead.”

These are not locals who got angry. They are repeat deployers who travel between protest sites the way consultants travel between client engagements.

Sustaining 200 people at an outdoor protest for ten days requires procurement, transportation, and supply chain management. Fox News documented pre-staged supply stations with organized containers established before the protests began. The gear included standardized kits — helmets, shields, gas masks, respirators — estimated by journalist Nick Sortor at roughly $100 per person. Catered meals arrived at the protest site on schedule. Street medics staffed medical tents.

After the stand-down, all of it was abandoned in place. You don’t leave $100 gas masks on the ground if you’re planning to come back tomorrow.

The confirmed funding floor across the network is $20-plus million: roughly $5 million from Open Society Foundationsdirectly, millions through the Arabella Advisors network(New Venture Fund),

$3.5 million from the Ford Foundation to Make the Road, and smaller grants through theFund for New Jersey. The specific line item for Delaney Hall field costs — the shuttles, the gear, the meals — has not been traced to any single grant. That’s the point. The money flows through fiscal sponsorship arrangements and intermediary organizations designed to make individual expenditures untraceable on public filings.

The Off Switch

On May 28, six days into the hunger strike and four days before the stand-down, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the White House press room that a joint IRS-FBI investigation into protest funding networks had made “substantial progress.” Then he added the line that mattered: “If a grant recipient is violent, if they are suppressing people’s rights, then YOU are responsible for that.”

That “you” was aimed at upstream funders. NEO Philanthropy, with $168.9 million in revenue, fiscally sponsors NJAIJ. Open Society Foundations had millions flowing to network organizations. Every 501(c)(3) in the chain was suddenly exposed — not for what their staff did, but for what any grant recipient downstream of them did. Rocks thrown at horses, human chains blocking federal vehicles, mattresses thrown at ICE agents, more than 60 arrests. Under Bessent’s framework, every upstream funder was potentially liable for all of it.

Four days later, the stand-down came. A single message in a Signal group. The crowd vanished. Unions that had been holding separate pickets at Delaney Hall the same day — HPAE, 32BJ SEIU — kept going. Same police conditions, same curfew. The unions weren’t in the command structure. Their off switch was their own.

What This Means

None of this is secret. Cosecha publishes its circle model on Gitbook. Momentum describes frontloading on its website. NDLON’s press releases name its staff. The 990 filings are on ProPublica. The training curricula are hosted on NJAIJ’s own domain.

The infrastructure was built in the open because it’s legal. Nonprofits can organize. People can protest. Foundations can fund advocacy. The question was never whether any of this was permitted. The question is whether the public understands what they’re looking at when they see a “protest” on the news.

What they’re looking at is a four-layer operation with a strategic command that decides whether to act, a dispatch network that assembles the crowd through cell-based relay, a trained tactical corps executing a published curriculum, and a logistics tail that keeps the operation fed, equipped, and transported for as long as the strategic layer decides it should run. The same template — built by the same people, funded by the same foundations, trained through the same curricula — has been deployed at climate actions, campus occupations, and immigration protests across the country.

When the curfew orders came down, perhaps assisted by the machine getting a credible threat to their tax-exempt status, the machine shut down in one Signal message. That is the difference between a movement and an operation. A movement doesn’t have an off switch.

June 3, 2026 - Trump ends the 'debanking' of conservatives

(Credit: The NewYork Times)

During the Biden era, it felt like everything was being weaponized.

Think about it. The courts were weaponized. Federal law enforcement was weaponized. Social media companies worked hand-in-glove with government officials to suppress stories and viewpoints they didn’t like.

(…) Conservatives, religious Americans, gun manufacturers, energy companies, and other politically “naughty” groups found themselves facing the new debanking. There were no criminal charges, convictions, or due process. This punishment came in the form of an official notice that your account was closed, your services were terminated, or your business relationship was no longer welcome.

It was literally destroying people’s lives, because progressive bankers decided conservatives didn’t deserve to have an income.

That’s why this latest breaking news is one of the most important victories of Trump’s second term.

His team has been fighting weaponization in all its forms, but this latest move is about to gut and end one of the most dangerous forms of political weaponization in modern America.

The first step was getting rid of the “vague standard” that allowed regulators to pressure banks into treating certain customers differently based on politics, beliefs, or lawful business activities.

Washington Examiner:

(…) Recently, the nation’s primary regulator of national banks finally eliminated what had, over time, metastasized into an absurd and destructive intrusion of partisan politics into the country’s free enterprise system.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, joining with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, published a final rule prohibiting federal regulators from pressuring banks to drop customers on the basis of so-called “reputation risk.”

(…) No longer will regulators be able to force banks to close accounts or withhold products or services because of a customer’s “political, social, cultural, or religious views or beliefs, constitutionally protected speech, or solely on the basis of politically disfavored but lawful business activities perceived to present reputation risk.”

It’s insane to think this happened in the United States of America. But it did. The federal government actually had a setup that allowed regulators to target people and businesses based on “reputation risk.”

What’s really scary is that this weaponized loophole has spread into major industries and some of America’s biggest banks.

WE:

Companies that had been steady, tax-paying job creators were suddenly “debanked.”

In a December 2025 preliminary report, the OCC named Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, and seven other major banks as having engaged in debanking that targeted politically sensitive industries — from oil and gas to firearms manufacturers.

If lawful businesses can lose access to financial services because powerful people don’t like who they voted for, nobody’s rights are truly safe. Because that loophole can be flipped in a heartbeat. (Read more: Revolver News, 6/3/2026)  (Archive)

June 3, 2026 - Democrats threaten to block FISA 702 reauthorization over Trump appointing Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard as acting DNI

(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)

Oh, this is just awesome news.  Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns.  All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn.  Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect. 🤣😂🤣

WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday to use his influence with the White House to reverse Trump’s move to install Pulte as overseer of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult.

Plus, Democrats believe they’d be doing Republicans a favor because they also see Pulte as unqualified for the job, even if few openly say it. As we scooped Tuesday, the White House had indicated to top Republicans that Aaron Lukas, whom Trump announced as the acting DNI 12 days ago, would remain in the role for an extended period. Senate Republicans felt blindsided. (more)

There is a particular stupidity within Washington DC, a genuine blind spot they don’t even notice exists, when it comes to issues attached to the Intelligence Community.  I promise you folks; these IC people are genuinely ideological and not smart at all.

The bipartisan knuckleheads are so fraught with self-interest and the need for control, they cannot fathom how Bill Pulte would be elevated to Acting Director of National Intelligence just so existing Deputy Director Aaron Lucas doesn’t have to get bogged down in the quicksand of bureaucracy.

Pulte can attend the meetings, summits, foreign ministerial gatherings, go to the briefings etc. and keep Aaron Lucas completely unencumbered to continue the work begun by DNI Tulsi Gabbard.

Because the Intelligence system in Washington DC controls so much of the activity, and because DC is so territorial – filled with people who demand personal credit for everything that takes place, they have no concept that Pulte’s appointment might be something entirely different than the customary head of a silo they feel entitled to control.

The Intelligence Community in Washington, DC is filled with ideological stupid people.  Trust me on this one; you give them way more credit than they deserve.   [Watch first few minutes, it’s hilarious]

Federal agents, in a daring predawn raid Wednesday, pounced on the opulent, $35 million Newport Beach mansion of an Iranian tech boss charged with supplying US computer hardware to Iran’s military and nuclear programs.

The California Post was there as the feds arrested Jamshid Ghomi, 63, of Newport Coast, who was charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and is expected to appear Wednesday afternoon in Santa Ana federal court.

The businessman, who is a dual citizen of Iran and the US, is accused of selling computer hardware to the Iranian government for use in its military and nuclear operations. Prosecutors allege Ghomi made millions on those deals and invented elaborate schemes to hide the transactions.

“Ghomi is accused of aiding our declared enemies by selling US-origin computer networking parts to Iran and earning millions of dollars in violation of US sanction laws,” said Los Angeles’ top federal prosecutor Bill Essayli.

“We will hold him accountable by seeking an appropriate prison sentence and by seizing his assets, including his $35 million Newport Beach mansion,” he added. (Read more: New York Post, 6/3/2026)  (Archive)

June 3, 2026 - Trump signs EO making senior Feds that influence policy decisions, more accountable to the American people

RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order that makes senior Federal leaders that influence policy decisions more accountable to the American people.

  • The Order reclassifies about 8,000 senior policy-influencing positions into Schedule Policy/Career.
  • While this rule allows for heightened accountability, these remain “career” positions and the non-partisan hiring processes, competitive status, and other aspects of these roles will not change. Removal decisions will also be made without respect to political affiliation.
  • Roles listed on Schedule Policy/Career are at-will positions. Agencies can remove employees in Schedule Policy/Career for poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or subversion of Presidential directives without lengthy procedural hurdles that often prevent accountability, consistent with the ability to remove appointees responsible for implementing the President’s agenda.
    • 97% of reclassified positions are GS-15 or Senior Level positions (or the equivalent in agencies with different pay plans). These are the highest-ranking career positions outside of the Senior Executive Service.
    • These roles include agency positions such as directors, deputy directors, chiefs of staff, senior advisors and policy analysts, employees with significant involvement in drafting regulations and guidance, public affairs and legislative affairs leaders, and employees with significant involvement in determining who gets Federal grants.

FIXING A BROKEN SYSTEM: Personnel rules make removing Federal employees for any reason exceedingly difficult. Consequently, employees with significant policy-making responsibilities can stay in their jobs for years even if they perform poorly, engage in misconduct, or are unwilling to advance Presidential policy across administrations, making their agencies less capable of delivering for the American people.

  • Federal employee removal procedures are lengthy and burdensome. Removals and subsequent appeals often take a year or more to process. As a result, agencies seldom remove career employees, even at senior levels, including for egregious conduct or subversion of Presidential priorities.
    • When polled, a plurality of senior federal employees in Washington, D.C. said they would ignore a lawful order from President Trump that they considered bad policy, although all executive branch employees report to the President.
    • During the first Trump Administration, career employees refused to assist on policy matters like prosecuting racial discrimination in higher education or drafting rules regarding Title IX reform because of their personal policy disagreements.
  • Elected officials must be able to hold policy-making career employees accountable for their performance and conduct in order to operationalize the policies that voters elected them to pursue.

DRAINING THE SWAMP: President Trump is delivering on his promise to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our government from Washington ineptitude and corruption.

  • President Trump authorized buyout programs to encourage Federal employees to leave voluntarily. Adoption was large, yet unsurprisingly, the Federal government has remained more than capable of delivering on its core functions for the American people.
    • Under President Trump, the Federal workforce has been reduced to its lowest level since 1966.
  • Last year, President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring Federal hiring to follow specific policies and procedures established by agency leadership to improve the efficient delivery of government services.
  • President Trump’s Office of Personnel Management has proposed rules to improve Federal employee performance appraisals, expedite removals for serious misconduct, and streamline the cumbersome reduction-in-force process.
  • President Trump established a new Civil Service Rule XI, requiring agencies to affirmatively determine whether probationary employees’ performance warrants retention, rather than letting them become tenured permanent employees by default, which was the previous practice.
  • Today’s Executive Order builds on Executive Order 13957, which was issued in President Trump’s first term to reclassify senior federal workers in policy-related roles as at-will employees, enabling swift accountability for those in influential positions.
    • When President Biden took office, he revoked Executive Order 13957, reinstating a system that shielded unaccountable bureaucrats. The Biden Administration also issued regulations that sought to prevent such accountability measures by a future administration.
    • President Trump vowed on the campaign trail to reinstate Executive Order 13957, a promise he kept on his first day returning to office. The Office of Personnel Management has since rescinded the Biden Administration regulations that prevented Schedule Policy/Career’s immediate implementation.

June 3, 2026 - Difficult Freedom or Easy Tyranny: Which Will America Choose?

(Credit: Alonzo Chappel/National Archives via AP)

“Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.” – Edmund Burke

Most men have never understood the point Burke made, which is why most men, down through history, have lived under government oppression. Americans, however, have absolutely no excuse for living under a tyranny like the Democratic Party is trying to establish. Our Founding Fathers constantly repeated the point so eloquently made by Burke: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” – Benjamin Franklin

We aren’t listening.

“The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.” – Thomas Jefferson

Men have a choice—liberty or tyranny. And that is the very battle America is fighting now. And, “there is no liberty without morality” (Burke). The tyranny America is battling within its borders today is coming from the Democratic Party, not those who are trying to follow our Founders and the Judeo-Christian heritage they built the country upon. “To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people is a chimerical idea,” said James Madison. No virtue, no liberty.

Burke, and our Founders, made this as plain as can be. Personal self-control is freedom. Government control is tyranny. This is why the Left hates America’s Judeo-Christian heritage. Both religions teach self-control, which means freedom. The Left doesn’t want that because the Left wants government totalitarianism. They want promiscuity, they want licentiousness. They want as much sin in society as possible, as much self-indulgence as imaginable, because self-control means freedom. By its very definition, self-control is freedom; we freely choose to do the right things, and thus, don’t need government force to compel us to do them. But the Left is encouraging, glorifying self-absorption in America, decadents who do not control themselves, thus will need government to step in and do it. Growing government ultimately means tyranny.

June 4, 2026 - Trump appoints William Pulte as acting DNI; Mark Warner panics

President Trump’s appointment of William J. Pulte to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence is drawing praise from lawmakers in the nation’s capital. A battle-tested reformer with deep experience safeguarding highly sensitive information and overhauling massive government institutions, Pulte brings decisive leadership, proven integrity, and a fierce America First commitment to the Intelligence Community.

Pulte has a track record of transforming inefficient bureaucracies, protecting critical American assets, and confronting entrenched interests — exactly the outsider leadership needed to ensure our nation’s intelligence agencies focus on their core mission: protecting the American people and confronting global threats.

Here’s what they’re saying:

Sen. Jim Banks: “While Democrats play politics with our national security, @pulte will put the American people first. He is a friend, ally, and patriot who will fight to drain the Swamp of our intel community, and keep America safe. I look forward to working with him as Acting Director of National Intelligence.”

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: “Congratulations to @pulte on being named Acting Director of National Intelligence. I applaud his willingness to serve our nation and look forward to supporting him.”

Sen. Katie Britt: “As a member of the Senate Banking Committee, I’ve enjoyed working with @Pulte in his capacity as Director of Federal Housing. I appreciate his willingness to serve and dedication to our country. I wish him success in this critical role for our national security.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno: “A great pick by President Trump! My friend @Pulte will lead the DNI with integrity, cripple the deep state, and always prioritize America’s national security and the safety of our citizens!”

Sen. Tommy Tuberville: “I am ALL FOR Bill Pulte as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. He has done an excellent job in his role as Director of Federal Housing, and I’ve worked closely with him to get the WOKE NONSENSE out of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Bill is an America First PATRIOT, and I am confident he is the right man to drain the SWAMP in our intel community.”

Rep. Andrew Clyde: “President Trump has a phenomenal track record of making out of the box appointments that deliver results for the American people. Bill Pulte will be a great Director of National Intelligence.”

Rep. Lance Gooden: “If Democrats, RINOs, and the deep state are all vehemently against @pulte as Director of National Intelligence, he is the right man for the job.”

Rep. Paul Gosar: “The Left & DC establishment are melting down over @POTUS selection of Bill Pulte.  Here’s a reminder: @POTUS was elected to lead the Executive Branch & has every right to surround himself with America First people he trusts to carry out his agenda.  Pulte has proven himself to be a fighter, a reformer & someone willing to challenge a broken status quo.”

Rep. Abe Hamadeh: “As a former intelligence officer, I know the importance of fearless transparency and courageous leadership to keep our country safe and strengthen our national security. Bill @Pulte is a relentless fighter for the truth, a political outsider with a fresh perspective we desperately need more of in Washington. I have complete confidence in President Trump’s selection of him as the next Director of National Intelligence.”

Rep. Darrell Issa: “Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment by @realDonaldTrump as the new Acting Director of National Intelligence. Bill has successfully managed some of the most sensitive American data, as well as more than $10 trillion in assets at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. This is the right man at the right time for this critical post.”

Rep. Ronny Jackson: “CONGRATULATIONS to our next Acting Director of National Intelligence, Bill Pulte! As a member of @HouseIntel, I look forward to working with him to support President Trump’s agenda and ensure our intelligence agencies are equipped to confront the growing threats facing our nation!”

Rep. Nick Langworthy: “Congratulations to Bill Pulte on his appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when threats to our nation are growing more complex, strong leadership matters. I am confident Bill will serve with integrity, focus, and an unwavering commitment to protecting the American people.”

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: “Bill Pulte will be a great ODNI! Go Bill – Go!”

Rep. Lloyd Smucker: “Congratulations to @pulte on your appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence! Grateful for your service as you take on this key role helping President Trump and his administration protect our nation.”

Rep. Marlin Stutzman: “Bill Pulte is a smart person and a fantastic businessman. I appreciate President Trump’s confidence in naming him intel chief!”

Rep. Claudia Tenney: “Congratulations to @pulte on his appointment as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Director Pulte has managed some of the most sensitive issues in our economy and has a proven record of leadership. As a former bank attorney & member of @HouseIntel, I look forward to working with him.”

(White House Press Release, 6/4/2026)

@MarkWarner is afraid that @pulte will do what Warner and his crew has been doing for decades: interfere in US elections.

This is classic narrative seeding. The democrat plan is to launch an operation that creates threats during or on elections. The propaganda they will deploy in response to that operation will be ‘close down elections, seize polling stations’ and they will point back to this interview as SEE I TOLD YOU THAT IS WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO.

Newsflash, the DNI does even actually PRODUCE intelligence. They aggregate intelligence produced elsewhere. Oh, and just for giggles, the CIA does[n’t] collect intelligence either…THEY PRODUCE intelligence to justify a plan of action they’ve already decided will occur. The DNI and current CIA director just confirmed that was the case on multiple occasions.

PS, if you review the declassified CIA documents, it reveals a pattern of them doing exactly that since 1948.

June 4, 2026 - John Bolton is set to plead guilty in classified documents case

Former national security adviser John Bolton will plead guilty to mishandling classified information while working in President Trump’s first administration, CNN reported Thursday.

Bolton, 77, was indicted in October 2025 on 18 counts of illegally hoarding or sending sensitive information. The charges largely revolved around his best-selling 2020 tell-all “The Room Where It Happened,” in which Bolton gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at his time in the White House.

Reps for Bolton and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

A hearing is scheduled for June 26 in Greenbelt, Md., federal court.

A blast from the past that didn’t work out too well:

June 5, 2026 - Patel fires five FBI employees tied to anti-Catholic FBI memo

Five FBI employees tied to the bureau’s 2023 “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” memo were fired Friday, according to multiple reports. The four intelligence analysts and one supervisory analyst involved in drafting and approving the document had faced no discipline since the memo became public more than three years ago.

The news was first reported by Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan, who said an FBI source confirmed the dismissals.

The Richmond Field Office produced the memo in January 2023. It examined what it described as a possible connection between “Radical Traditionalist Catholic” ideology and racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists, and discussed potential “tripwire and source development” opportunities within Catholic communities.

The document became public after a whistleblower provided it to Congress, triggering immediate backlash from lawmakers, religious liberty advocates, and Catholic organizations. Republicans argued the memo showed the FBI was scrutinizing Americans based on their religious beliefs.

Then-Attorney General Merrick Garland later told lawmakers he was “appalled” by the memo, while Wray repeatedly insisted the memo came from a single field office and was withdrawn once senior leadership saw it.

June 5, 2026 - Trump erupts and storms off the set of his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker

The interview aired during Sunday’s episode of Meet the Press.

After Welker repeatedly accused Trump of making claims with “no evidence,” Trump had enough and lashed out, saying, “Your elections are crooked, and you’re crooked, and meet the press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.”

“You’re one-sided, crooked networks. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough,” Trump continued as he pulled the microphone off his jacket and tossed it on the ground, making a thud.

Trump then stood up and squashed the microphone with his foot as he walked away, making it crunch. It did not appear to be intentional, but the moment was hilariously emblematic of the entire exchange.

WATCH:

(…) “I love the idea,” he said of his $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, adding, “because people like you, the fake dirty press, the crooked press, people like Stupid Biden—he’s not smart enough to know what’s going on, but people that surrounded him, surrounded his beautiful, resolute desk in the Oval Office— what they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people, they sent people to jail who did nothing wrong!”

And as Welker tried to defend California’s vote counting process, claiming “that’s how they vote in California,” Trump fired back, “Do you think it’s appropriate that they have an election, and five days later, they’re nowhere close to picking a winner?… You’re either crooked or you’re stupid!”

June 5, 2026 - Small Business Administration chief Kelly Loeffler reports there were $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans distributed by Biden admin

HOLY SMOKES. Trump SBA chief Kelly Loeffler exposes in the Cabinet room she found $200 BILLION in FRAUDULENT PPP loans distributed by the Biden admin…

…and they tried COVERING IT UP. People are now going to jail 🔥

“Think about at the SBA, we found $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans that the Biden administration tried to hide and forgive and sweep under the rug.”

“We’ve turned the first $22 billion of that over to Treasury for collections and to DOJ for prosecution.”

“Our inspector general is already announcing that people are going to jail. There are jail sentences now being served.”

“We’ve announced that 140,000 people have been barred from ever getting SBA loans again defrauding the government for about $9 billion.”

“So we are going to continue our work under the great leadership of Vice President Vance and appreciate the partnership because it’s really accelerated our ability to get the job done.” 🇺🇸

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler has publicly detailed a sweeping crackdown on suspected fraud in pandemic-era relief programs, focusing on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) programs.

According to Loeffler, the SBA has identified an estimated $200 billion in fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans that were meant to support small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic Just The News. She said that $22 billion of these fraudulent loans have already been referred to the U.S. Treasury and Department of Justice for collections and prosecution, with some individuals convicted and serving prison sentences Just The News.

Enforcement Actions

  • Ohio Crackdown: In June 2026, the SBA suspended 27,486 Ohio borrowers linked to about $1.1 billion in suspected fraudulent PPP and EIDL activity. Four alleged Ohio-based fraudsters tied to over $1.4 million in fraud were indicted Markets Insider.
  • California Crackdown: Earlier in 2026, the SBA suspended 111,620 California borrowers tied to $8.6 billion in suspected fraud Small Business Administration.
  • Minnesota Crackdown: The agency also suspended 6,900 Minnesota borrowers for loans totaling roughly $400 million The Free Press – Tampa.
  • National Scale: These actions are part of a state-by-state effort, with over 560,000 suspected fraudulent borrowers referred to the DOJ in the largest fraud enforcement package in SBA history Markets Insider+1.

Loeffler’s Message

Loeffler has warned that “if you defraud federal programs at any level, we will find you” and emphasized that suspended borrowers lose access to all SBA loan programs and federal contracting opportunities Markets Insider. She has also criticized past administrations for allegedly tolerating fraud, calling for accountability and recovery of taxpayer funds Just The News+1.

Legal and Financial Impact

Prosecutions have included high-profile cases such as:

  • Jaimeka Michelle Austin (VA) – PPP/EIDL nearly $2M, sentenced to 8 years www.lolsba.com.
  • Sharhabeel Shreiteh (IL) – PPP $14M, sentenced to 10 years www.lolsba.com.
  • Stephanie Hockridge (TX) – PPP over $63M, sentenced to 10 years www.lolsba.com.

These cases illustrate the range of penalties, from probation to decades in prison, for those convicted of PPP/EIDL fraud.

In summary: Loeffler’s reports frame the SBA’s actions as a major effort to recover billions in misused pandemic relief funds, with hundreds of thousands of borrowers suspended and thousands prosecuted across multiple states

June 5, 2026 - $29 billion in taxpayer cash: EPA Chief Zeldin drops criminal referrals to DOJ for green energy heist

Obama-Biden Cronies CAUGHT Stealing $29 BILLION in Taxpayer Cash: EPA Chief Zeldin Drops Criminal Referrals to DOJ for Massive Green Energy Heist

John Solomon says EPA Chief Lee Zeldin just informed him that Obama and Biden administration officials ran a massive self-dealing scam — funneling $29 BILLION in green energy grants to their buddies. Former Cabinet secretaries, big Democrat donors, political activists — including a Stacey Abrams-linked group that got $2 BILLION despite almost zero revenue.

Zeldin blocked the money, uncovered the pass-through nonprofits used to launder it to insiders, and has now made several criminal referrals to the DOJ.

Read that again.. a $29 BILLION dollar heist, planned by Barrack Hussein Obama.

June 5, 2026 - Mar-a-Lago was raided for an Intel Community report claiming there was no evidence Trump colluded with Russia; Hillary could be blackmailed

Devin Nunes is back in play:

They raided Mar-A-Lago because they were desperately trying to find this Intelligence Community Report

“Nobody thought Trump was going to win” — and Obama’s own IC stated there was no Evidence whatsoever that Trump colluded with Russia— and in fact, the IC concluded that Russia wanted Hillary Clinton to win because they had BLACKMAIL on her

John Solomon reveals that fresh documents “Just Discovered” inside the FBI contain evidence pertaining to Barrack Hussein Obama that is about to become public:

“I think there will be a need to summon [Obama] based on some of the evidence that’s about to become public.”

BUT… “he can’t be indicted most likely, but that means he cannot claim the 5th amendment either— keep an eye on that”

I told you, “Burn Bags” were the perfect delivery vehicle to “find” whatever they want, whenever they want. Everything is timed for release.
