President Donald J. Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, announced on Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has halted all grant funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) aiding illegal immigrants entering the United States. Under former President Joe Biden’s Democrat-controlled White House, DHS funneled almost $400 million to various far-left NGOs that assisted with housing, food, and job placement for the millions of illegal immigrants who entered the country under his watch. During the final year of the Biden government, federal officials across a number of departments and agencies directed nearly $640 million in taxpayer dollars to be spent on assistance for illegal immigrants. However, the DHS grant program was one of the most onerous examples, directly funding highly partisan NGOs—some of which promote radical, anti-American ideologies.

Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, the parents of now imprisoned crypto-scammer Sam Bankman-Fried, are reportedly trying to appeal to President Trump for a pardon for their son. This is incredibly ironic, when you consider the fact that Bankman-Fried was accused of using his scam to help Democrats and keep Republicans like Donald Trump from holding office. Bankman-Fried was the second biggest Democrat donor after only left-wing billionaire George Soros. His parents have a lot of nerve seeking a pardon from Trump. Bankman-Fried was sentenced last March to 25 years after being convicted of five counts of conspiracy and two counts of wire fraud. Ryan Salame, a former FTX executive who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, also seeks a pardon.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday banned federal funding for transgender sex-changes for minors, adding to his ongoing flood of executive orders after taking office. The president signed an executive order condemning the practice of sex transition surgeries for minors, noting that 'countless' children regretted the surgeries that 'mutilated' and trapped them into fighting 'a losing war with their own bodies.' 'it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called 'transition' of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,' the executive order from Trump read.
A “committee” widely cited in the media as opposing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services turns out to be a Bill Gates-backed “Astroturf” organization that accepts fake signatories. The “Committee to Protect Health Care,” cited by NBC News and others, published an open letter declaring that doctors are “appalled by Donald Trump’s reckless decision” to appoint Kennedy. Thousands are said to have signed. However, there is no verification process for signatories. (Breitbart News was able to sign up as Dr. Donald Duck, OG, of Disney World, FL, specializing in podiatry.) The anti-Kennedy petition simply accepts any signature from anyone. Others have tried the same experiment, including fitness influencer Jillian Michaels and provocateur Alex Jones. The Committee to Protect Health Care is a 501(c)4 organization, meaning that it does not have to reveal its donors.

President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday rolling back protections for transgender people and terminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government in what he described in his inauguration speech as a move to end efforts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.” Both are major shifts for the federal policy and are in line with Trump’s campaign promises. One order declares that the federal government would recognize only two immutable sexes: male and female. The definition will be based on whether people are born with eggs or sperm, rather than on their chromosomes. The change is being pitched as a way to protect women from “gender extremism.”

President Donald Trump dismissed at least 17 agency inspectors general, watchdogs responsible for rooting out waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies, sparking controversy and criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. The Trump administration ordered federal agencies to terminate diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) programs and positions within 60 days, a move seen as a return to merit-based policies by conservatives and as an attack on inclusivity by critics. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered a pause on new obligations of funding for foreign assistance programs, pending a review to ensure the aid is effective and consistent with Trump's foreign policy. Trump's actions are part of a broader strategy to fulfill his campaign promise of draining the swamp, reflecting the conservative movement's long-standing criticism of the federal bureaucracy.
The security services are taking all necessary measures to protect the Russian president, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. Russian President Vladimir Putin is well protected from any potential threats, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. He was responding to a claim by American journalist Tucker Carlson that the administration of former US President Joe Biden planned to assassinate the Russian leader. On Monday, Carlson told journalist Matt Taibbi that former US Secretary of State Antony Blinken “was pushing so hard for a real war, trying to kill Putin, for example… The Biden administration did [it], they tried to kill Putin.”
As the American people increasingly lose trust in the liberal corporate media, MSNBC’s anchors are continuing to trot our tired comparisons between President Donald Trump and Nazi leader Adolf Hitler. MSNBC hosts Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid are now comparing Trump’s efforts to deport illegal alien criminals – including terrorists, child rapists, murders, and violent gang members – to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. On Monday, both Wallace and Reid separately used International Holocaust Remembrance Day to blast Trump’s immigration policies and compare the president to Hitler. Wallace’s panel discussed the pushback against some school officials over the Trump administration’s efforts to arrest dangerous illegal aliens. It comes after Trump officials said detaining illegal alien criminals on school grounds may be necessary.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has just fired several officials who “played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump” under the last administration. Pam Bondi, Trump’s choice for U.S. Attorney General, has not yet been confirmed to lead the DOJ. Nevertheless, the Trump DOJ is wasting no time in weeding out officials who cannot be trusted to implement the duly elected president’s agenda. Acting Attorney General James McHenry sent a letter to more than a dozen officials connected to the Biden administration’s DOJ investigations into Trump. The letter informs those anti-Trump officials that they had been fired.

The “preposterous waste” of taxpayer money worsened the country’s inflation crisis, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The Biden administration spent the federal budget recklessly during its tenure, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday, defending President Donald Trump’s decision to temporarily freeze foreign aid. Speaking at a press briefing, Leavitt explained that Trump’s executive order, which suspends nearly all foreign aid for 90 days, is part of a broader effort to ensure fiscal responsibility and align spending with the administration’s “America First” agenda. “The past four years, we’ve seen the Biden administration spend money like drunken sailors. It’s a big reason we’ve had an inflation crisis in this country,” Leavitt said.

The Ukrainian leader is an “enemy” of Slovakia, PM Robert Fico has said. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has pledged to veto any EU aid to Ukraine, calling Vladimir Zelensky an “enemy” and accusing him of causing “problems” for Slovakia. Kiev halted the transit of Russian natural gas earlier this month, jeopardizing Slovakia’s energy security. Fico, who survived an assassination attempt by a pro-Ukraine activist last year, criticized Zelensky on Tuesday for refusing to renew the gas transit contract with Russia’s state energy company, Gazprom. “Our enemy is Zelensky. Zelensky caused the problems we have. I don’t like him because he harms Slovakia,” Fico said, as reported by local media.

"The sovereignty of Ukraine is close to zero in this sense," the Russian president noted. TOGLIATTI, January 28. /TASS/. The conflict with Ukraine will end in a month or two if Kiev is out of ammunition, Russian President Vladimir Putin said. "They cannot actually exist; they will not exist for month if money and, speaking in a broad sense, ammunition comes to the end. That’s all! Everything will end in a month, month and a half or two," the head of state said. "The sovereignty of Ukraine is close to zero in this sense," Putin noted. "If their Western sponsors have the desire to reach peace - the way is very simple, I sent relevant signals in this regard to [ex-US President Joe] Biden some time ago: if there is the desire - that’s all, welcome, and then they will quickly find all the legal ways to quickly close all the matters of legal nature, including cancellation of this decree on the ban on talks," the Russian leader added.

"That’s why why I shouldn't stand here and give advice on how he can take something away, something he shouldn't do," Lars Lokke Rasmussen said. STOCKHOLM, January 28. /TASS/. Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen and Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said there is no chance the US will take over Greenland. "Trump will not get Greenland. Greenland is Greenland and the Greenlandic people are people, also in terms of international law," Lokke Rasmussen said, the Ritzau news agency reported. Asked whether US President Donald Trump could start an invasion, the minister said, "He will not get Greenland. And that's why I shouldn't stand here and give advice on how he can take something away, something he shouldn't do," Lokke Rasmussen was quoted as saying by Danmarks Radio.

Trump is preparing for negotiations with Putin over Ukraine as well as with Xi over trade and likely also Taiwan, so he’d appear weak in their eyes if he let a middling leader like Petro publicly defy and even insult him without consequence. Colombian President Gustavo Petro thought that he’d rebalance lopsided relations with his returning US counterpart by abruptly rejecting two previously agreed military flights for repatriating his country’s illegal immigrants but was ultimately taught an unforgettable lesson. Trump reacted with fury by threatening 25% tariffs that would double in a week’s time and sanctioning high-level officials on national security pretexts among other punitive measures, which quickly prompted Petro to capitulate.

President Donald J. Trump swiftly implemented his agenda during his first week in office through a series of executive orders. The directives—nearly 40 in total—impact a range of federal policy areas, including immigration, environmental regulation, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, lawfare, and health research.Among the more ambitious executive orders is an attempt to change birthright citizenship, which has already drawn two separate Democrat-backed legal challenges. President Trump also moved to reverse former President Joe Biden’s restrictions on oil exploration and withdrew federal support for discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and transgender-related directives.
A violent Tren de Aragua ringleader sought in an infamous, caught-on-camera break-in in Aurora, Colo., was nabbed Tuesday in a dramatic pre-dawn raid in New York City — across from an elementary school, sources said. Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, was taken into custody as part of the Trump administration’s first promised immigration raids in the Big Apple, law-enforcement sources told The Post. He was caught by heavily armed Homeland Security Investigations officers who stormed an Ogden Avenue apartment building in The Bronx in the early hours, the sources said. The building is across the street from PS 11, a k a the Highbridge School.
NATO member Denmark spent the last four years single-mindedly worried about the Russian danger, but was surprised by the territorial ambitions by the fest-moving US President Donald J. Trump. After a telephone call between Trump and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, it has now been reported that the Danish Kingdom is in ‘crisis mode’ after Trump made a direct play for Greenland in a conversation being branded as ‘horrendous’. “The US president spoke to Mette Frederiksen, the Danish premier, for 45 minutes last week and made clear he wanted to place Greenland under American control.” Greenland is an autonomous Arctic territory owned by Denmark since 1814. But now, Trump wants it as a ‘valuable asset’ in the US’s competition against Russia and China.

The lifting of the restriction on weapons shipments was reportedly tied to ceasefire negotiations. US President Donald Trump has approved the delivery of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, overturning a suspension imposed by the administration of former President Joe Biden last year, Axios and Reuters reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter. According to Israeli officials who spoke to Axios on condition of anonymity, “1,800 MK-84 bombs, which were held in storage in the US, will be put on a ship and delivered to Israel in the coming days.” The decision was reportedly communicated to West Jerusalem by the Pentagon on Friday, shortly before Hamas released four female IDF soldiers as part of a prisoner swap that was agreed under the January 15 ceasefire.

For once it appears that ‘justice maybe served’, not by the judicial system (which is comprised at the higher levels mostly of freemasons) but by the criminals themselves. What does this say about our judicial system?
