A federal judge has reversed a lower court judge’s decision to force the government to continue supplying illegal migrants with taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin had earlier ruled in Oakland, California, that President Donald Trump was not allowed to stop taxpayer funding for progressive groups that provided legal advice to illegal aliens facing deportation.
The Mexico-born judge issued a temporary restraining order on April 1 that required the administration to restore the funding for 26,000 unaccompanied minors seeking to stay legally in the U.S., the Daily Journal reported.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services quickly appealed Judge Olguin’s ruling. Consequently, on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss in Washington, D.C. reinstated the administration’s pause on funding, the AP reported.
The Trump administration is moving ahead with a new rule, previously known as “Schedule F,” that will make it easier to remove federal employees it believes are undercutting President Trump‘s agenda.
Why it matters: By stripping civil service protections from about 50,000 people — roughly 2% of the federal work force — Trump is continuing his far-reaching effort to trim the federal bureaucracy and make it more answerable to him.
The Office of Personnel Management’s new rule — dubbed “Schedule Policy/Career” — will allow many career civil servants to be classified as “at will” employees, making them easier to remove.
Trump aides argue they need greater flexibility to fire civil servants who are underperforming, engaging in misconduct or undermining Trump’s policy plans.
Zoom in: Such civil servants in nonpartisan roles traditionally have had job protections that shielded them from the political whims of whoever was in the White House.
But Trump and many of his backers have long believed that a “deep state” of Washington bureaucrats was undercutting his agenda.
Toward the end of his first term, Trump signed an executive order establishing a Schedule F category for federal employees.
President Biden rescinded the order after he took office, but after taking office again in January, Trump signed a new executive order reinstating and renaming it.
While he was out of office, Trump and his allies laid the groundwork for a new administration stocked with loyalists. Schedule F was a significant part of that plan
Many of the Trump allies who pushed for Schedule F now have key roles in the administration, including Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Management of Budget Director Russ Vought.
“They are making decisions and those decisions should be in line with the president’s agenda. Unelected career bureaucrats should be held accountable to the agenda Americans vote for,” said a White House official.
It is a tell. The tell is the top perp is a top parasite who has taught the art of parasitism to many others to conceal its own role while also using others to help it reach its goal — total annihilation of Western civilization. My sense is the absolute cause of this is sexual jealousy, followed by all other kinds of envy and jealousy. Alongside that are the other raging traits of all parasitic cultures — hatred of the host, glee in destroying the host and feeding on their wealth, in humiliating them, in killing and torturing them, in fucking their women. I am not going to say I am certain Jewish Supremists are the core of this attack and its leaders, nor am I going to say Carlson is suggesting they are the core, but who is it if not them? The royal families of Europe are sometimes mentioned as suspects, but it’s a weak case. Other ethnic and woke parasites who are running rampant with the core parasites have similar motives as the core group, including root sexual jealousy, but no history or ability to organize on their own. China is an exception and they do appear to have partnered with any anti-Western parasite who will take them, including Mexican cartels, but this is fairly recent history. China is formidable and deeply involved, but its ties to US parasites point mainly to the same core group or groups. ABN
Donald Trump is ready to walk away from trying to negotiate a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless progress is made, a top US official has warned.
If the president doesn’t see signs that an agreement is on the horizon he will call it a day because he has ‘other priorities’ to focus on, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday.
‘We’re not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I’m talking about a matter of days whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks.
‘If it is we’re in. If it’s not, then we have other priorities to focus on as well,’ Rubio said in Paris, after meeting European and Ukrainian leaders.
Rubio said Trump was still interested in a deal but was willing to move on if there were no immediate signs of progress.
‘If it’s not possible, if we’re so far apart that this is not going to happen, then I think the president’s probably at a point where he’s going to say, ‘well, we’re done’, he said.
‘The United States has been helping Ukraine over the last three years, and we want it to end, but it’s not our war,’ Rubio added.
UPDATE: I waited on this because I wanted to watch it before posting. Watched it last night. It is well-worth viewing. Weldon is calling for a presidential inquiry and wants to hear ‘the thousands of architects and engineers who are risking their careers by questioning 9/11’ speak publicly before the inquiry, along with firemen, police, former intelligence officials, and others. He says the official story and the 9/11 Commission Report are total ‘garbage’, as most of us already know. Carlson is alert, aware, sympathetic and apologizes profusely for his nasty 9/11 errors in the past (which were very bad and caused me to despise him for many years). Sandy Berger, Phillip Zelikow, and other Jewish Supremists feature in Weldon’s evidence that dark forces within the CIA did 9/11, not Muslim terrorists; but he never goes so far as to implicate Israel in aiding and abetting the attack if not planning and orchestrating it. I agree with Weldon that this is a perfect time to reopen the investigation. The Zelikow tall tale of 9/11 is blatant mind-control ‘garbage’; and as such excellent evidence of the coverup of what really happened and who was involved. 9/11 is recent enough that shining public light on it will profoundly affect USA and the world; I believe for the good. I do not know if Trump has the power or understanding to do it. ABN
Pam Bondi’s ability to manage the Department of Justice has come under increased scrutiny from the right. File releases are delayed or mismanaged. No apparent action is taken against subversive government officials. And J6ers and other victims of a weaponized DoJ remain unsatisfied.
Many have raised the question of whether Pam Bondi was the right choice for MAGA attorney general. Many more, including President Trump, would be questioning her bona fides if they knew about Bondi’s role in the creation of Black Lives Matter.
How Trump handles the DoJ will be crucial to the success of his second term. His failure to take control of the Justice Department marred his first term. Uncertain of his powers, Trump bowed to the media and Democrats, who screamed for the DoJ to remain “independent.” He and his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, watched impotently as the Deep State subverted his presidency with the Russiagate witch hunt and prosecuted key advisers such as Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, and Mike Flynn.
Pam Bondi is no Jeff Sessions, but her history raises questions about her willingness to fight an entrenched opposition. The case against her revolves around her mishandling of the prosecution of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
In a bold and somewhat cryptic statement that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows across the globe, White House tech chief Michael Kratsios claimed the United States has cutting-edge technology capable of “bending time and space.”
Kratsios, who serves as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the comment during a keynote speech at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas.
Just weeks into his new role, Kratsios wasted no time painting a picture of American innovation that, if true, would in all likelihood place us light-years ahead of our global competitors.
“We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along. But we are capable of so much more. Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance, violated, cause things to grow and improve productivity,” Kratsios said.
Astronomers claim to have seen the strongest evidence so far for life on another planet. But other astronomers have urged caution until the findings can be verified by other groups and alternative, non-biological explanations can be ruled out.
“These are the first hints we are seeing of an alien world that is possibly inhabited,” Nikku Madhusudhan at the University of Cambridge told a press conference on 15 March.
Astronomers first discovered the exoplanet K2-18b in 2015, and soon established that it was a promising place to look for life. About eight times as massive as Earth and orbiting a star 124 light years away from us, the planet sits in the habitable zone of its star, where liquid water can exist. Further observations, in 2019, found evidence of water vapour, which led to suggestions that the planet may be covered in oceans sitting under a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, though not all astronomers agreed.
To my knowledge, no earth-shattering revelations or damning evidence has emerged from the 64,000 documents made public since March 18th on the assassination of John Kennedy. Nevertheless, the theory of Israeli guilt is reinforced by clarifications on James Jesus Angleton’s proximity to the Mossad. And the word is spreading on the social networks.
As shown here, the word Israel, which was blacked out from a previously declassified document, is now cleared on the new version. This indicates that, while the CIA had wanted to conceal the link between Angleton and Israel, the link is now so well known that the redaction of the word Israel has become ridiculously counterproductive. Similarly, on another document mentioning that Angleton “run several intelligence projects, many of them with [the Israeli Intelligence Service]”, the words in brackets have also been un-redacted, as pointed out on the Wikileaks X account, followed by 5.8 million subscribers.
A newly declassified page shown here cites CIA director (DCI) John McCone about the secret diplomatic crisis between the White House and the Jewish state over the latter’s determination to build nuclear bombs. Noting that the Israelis are “withholding information on the extent of its nuclear activities”, and “refuse to submit to international safeguards prescribed by the International Atomic Energy Agency”, McCone feared that the Israeli project would “trigger grave trouble in the Middle East”, and recommended to President Kennedy, as he had to his predecessor Eisenhower (as chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission), to impose economic sanctions against Israel. It must be remembered that McCone had been placed at the head of the CIA by Kennedy precisely because of his good knowledge of and opposition to the Israeli Dimona project.
This reminds us that incriminating “the CIA” in general terms for the Kennedy assassination makes little sense, since its director was certainly innocent. What needs to be done is to identify the CIA agents who may have been involved without their director’s knowledge. The name on which all suspicions focus since the 1970s is that of James Jesus Angleton, head of Counterintelligence. The CIA trail leads straight to the threshold of his office. However, since the publication in 2017 of his biography by Jefferson Morley (The Ghost), we know that his office led to the Mossad through a back door. Thus, through Angleton, the trail of the CIA leads straight to the Mossad, just like through Jack Ruby (Jacob Rubenstein), the trail of the “mafia” leads straight to the Irgun. Sam Parker summarizes well here the main acts of treason of Angleton in favor of Israel.
…Angleton has now been exposed as a traitor to his own country for bringing Israeli spies into the CIA, including into the monitoring of Oswald. This is of equal significance to LBJ being exposed as a traitor to his own country by allowing Israel to try to sink the USS Liberty and get away with it.
Earth rotates, the Sun rotates, the Milky Way rotates – and a new model suggests the entire Universe could be rotating. If confirmed, it could ease a significant tension in cosmology.
The Universe is expanding, but exactly how fast is a contentious question. Two different methods of measurement return two very different speeds – and as the measurements become more precise, each becomes more certain. This discrepancy is known as the Hubble tension, and it’s reaching crisis levels in physics.
So for a new study, physicists in Hungary and the US added a small rotation to a model of the Universe – and this mathematical massage seemed to quickly ease the tension.
“Much to our surprise, we found that our model with rotation resolves the paradox without contradicting current astronomical measurements,” says István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii.
“Even better, it is compatible with other models that assume rotation. Therefore, perhaps, everything really does turn.”
