WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is ending collective bargaining for the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Transportation Security Officers, which has constrained TSA’s chief mission: to safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe.
Eliminating collective bargaining removes bureaucratic hurdles that will strengthen workforce agility enhance productivity and resiliency, while also jumpstarting innovation.

Gaps in benefit programs, including non-verifiable Family and Medical Leave, are being exploited by a select few poor performers, placing greater burden on TSOs at the expense of American travelers and taxpayers.
This includes instances, where a TSO requested sick leave seven months in advance.
TSA has more people doing full-time union work than we have performing screening functions at 86% of our airports. Of the 432 federalized airports, 374 airports have fewer than 200 TSA Officers to preform screening functions.
Nearly 200 TSA Officers are paid by the government but work full-time on union matters. These people do not retain certification to perform screening functions. Additionally, in a recent TSA employee survey, over 60% said poor performers are allowed to stay employed and, not surprisingly, continue to not perform.
It doesn’t quite apex the previous selection of Nikki Haley in 2016 to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal targeting then candidate Donald Trump, however it does come close.
The seven ways from Sunday group have this year selected Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin to deliver the State of the Union rebuttal to President Donald Trump. Slotkin is a CIA operative shifted into congress.
In the CIA’s need to oppose President Trump, they are getting a little sloppy with the transparency of their agenda.
In semi-related news…. Dan Bongino will soon discover for himself, the FBI runs two basic operations as part of their modern mission. Proactive, and Reactive operations.
Operation #1 is best defined as the “proactive mission.” Essentially the autonomic operational objective of the silo as it is administered. This is the resting compass heading of the organization; it’s functional position in statis.
The ‘proactive mission’ is to defend the interests of the DC system of government. The FBI monitors threats to government interests and takes action based on threats to the framework of DC governance.
Operation #2 is best considered the “reactive mission,” where the FBI is forced into investigative footing as an outcome of something that happens.
The ‘reactive mission’ runs first and foremost through the prism of the ‘proactive’ responsibility. The reactive investigative footing is the full deployment of resources to identify if the event presents the possibility of risk to the DC system.
Example of #2, a terror event is a “reactive” focus. The FBI is reacting to something, investigating some event that has already occurred. Often the reactive investigation runs across the proactive activity, and we discover a “known wolfe” who was not a proactive priority, because the threat was not to DC or Govt., specifically. Another example the NASCAR noose nonsense.
Example of #1, the Hunter Biden laptop, Ashley Biden diary, Awan Brothers, Clinton email server etc., these are all considered ‘threats’ to the DC/Govt system, and therefore they gain the full attention of the “Proactive Mission.”
Understanding the FBI is a matter of understanding the priority of the organization is defending the interests of DC/Govt as the primary objective, the Proactive Operation, the standard setting.
The Reactive Operation is considerably less important and encompasses the after-action Homeland Security mission.
The FBI is a sub-silo of the much more significant Parent silo, the CIA.
It is the CIA who controls the operational mission focus of the FBI.

The U.S. Department of Education is asking the public to report practices of diversity, equity, and inclusion in public schools, the Trump administration’s latest move to go after schools for what it calls “divisive ideologies” and “indoctrination.”
The agency on Thursday launched a public portal—EndDEI.Ed.Gov—for parents, students, teachers, and the broader community to report practices of discrimination based on race or sex in publicly-funded K-12 schools.
This new effort comes just before the Feb. 28 deadline that the Trump administration set for K-12 schools and universities to end DEI practices or risk losing federal funding.
The Trump administration has some serious people doing extraordinarily important work. The CIA team are doing something that few will ever fathom, and when the details surface they will hopefully get praise.
The State Dept team, obviously working closely with the CIA team, are likewise doing exceptional groundwork.
The DNI group (domestic IC) and DHS team are also laying the groundwork for major changes and confronting decades of institutional wrongdoing. Praise and appreciation is well warranted.
The econ team is first-in-class, and the emissaries are working the Economic Security and National Security dynamic. These enmesh with other operations and DJT/Lutnick are brilliantly coordinating a smooth outflow of positive global influence.
However, don’t expect the DOJ/FBI silos to be anything except a hot mess. They have all the support needed, but the silo heads have no idea how to get their “arms around” the problems. The DOJ/FBI reform agenda is going nowhere.
Celebrate all the success in the areas where serious people are operating strategically. But if you were looking for DOJ/FBI structural silo changes, that ain’t happening. Sorry, wrong leadership choice there.
Censured because she disagrees with their nonsense. The left is absurd and tends to become dictatorial. Historically, leftist dictatorships have always been worse than rightist authoritarians. Surely males in female sports can openly be discussed? Not in Mills’ Maine. ABN
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was irate and promised to root out National Security Administration agents who held lurid sex chats in sensitive government chat rooms in the name of DEI.
A report by journalists Christopher Rufo and Hannah Goodman claimed that NSA agents engaged in wild chats on the NSA’s Intelink messaging program ‘featuring wide-ranging discussions of sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.’
These chats, according to Rufo and Goodman, were ‘legitimized as part of the NSA’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.’
They quote agents who have claimed to have undergone feminizing gender affirming surgeries or gender reassignment surgery, including one who called their artificial genitals ‘everything.’
Others casually referred to how much they enjoyed having sex upon having the surgery in their work chat, saying ‘I’ve found that I like being penetrated (never liked it before GRS), but all the rest is just as important as well.’
Another bragged that having the surgery allowed them ‘to wear leggings or bikinis without having to wear a gaff under it.’
Others discussed laser hair removal, with one saying: ‘[G]etting my b***hole zapped by a laser was . . . shocking.’
‘This behavior is unacceptable and those involved WILL be held accountable. These disgusting chat groups were immediately shut down when @POTUS issued his EO ending the DEI insanity the Biden Admin was obsessed with. Our IC must be focused on our core mission: ensuring the safety, security, and freedom of the American people,’ she wrote.
“The Department of Defense is re-evaluating our probationary workforce, consistent with the President’s initiative to reform the Federal workforce to maximize efficiency and productivity,” Darin Selnick, performing the duties of under secretary of defense for personnel and readiness, said in a Feb. 21 statement.
“We expect approximately 5,400 probationary workers will be released beginning next week as part of this initial effort, after which we will implement a hiring freeze while we conduct a further analysis of our personnel needs, complying as always with all applicable laws.”
Most Americans don’t know that for much of U.S. history there was no federal income tax and there was no central bank. But now everyone assumes that we must have a federal income tax and a central bank in order to have a functioning society. Today, there are just a handful of nations that do not have an income tax, and more than 99 percent of the entire population of the globe lives in a country that has a central bank. Of course the two work hand in hand. A central bank creates a spiral of borrowing that is meant to be unbreakable, and an income tax is necessary to service payments on that debt spiral.
It is not a coincidence that a federal income tax and the Federal Reserve were both established in 1913. Since that time, we have piled up the biggest mountain of debt in the history of the world, and that is precisely the outcome that the system was designed to produce.
If this happens it will be amazing. USA needs deep reform. Abolishing the Federal Reserve, income tax, and IRS would constitute deep reform. Along with other Trump policies, we may experience the Second American Revolution, this time done without violence. ABN
