  1. TRUMP ADMIN UPDATES COVID.GOV TO REVEAL TRUE ORIGINS OF COVID – The Biden-era covid.gov website now redirects to a site titled “LAB LEAK: The true origins of COVID-19.” The page criticizes the EcoHealth Alliance’s gain-of-function research and faults Dr. Anthony Fauci and others who claimed COVID-19 did not leak from the Wuhan lab. The website stresses, The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties…”
  2. RFK JR. BANS ARTIFICIAL FOOD DYES HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA chief  Dr. Marty Makary said the FDA will phase out petroleum-based dyes in U.S. food and medications. Kennedy said, [When] my uncle was president, 3% of American kids had chronic disease. Today it’s around 60%. If they [food companies] want to be eating petroleum, they can add it themselves at home…”
  3. U.S. HOUSE PASSES BILL TO REIN IN ROGUE JUDGES The U.S. House voted  219-213to pass the No Rogue Rulings Act to restrict the ability of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions. Bill sponsor Rep. Darrell Isa (R-CA) stated, “Since President Trump has returned to office, left-leaning activists have cooperated with ideological judges who they have sought out to take their cases and weaponize nationwide injunctions to stall dozens of lawful executive actions and initiatives. These sweeping injunctions represent judicial activism at the worst.

  5. RUBIO SHUTTERS CENSORSHIP AGENCY Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the $50 million Biden-era Global Engagement Center has officially been shut down. Rubio explained, If citizens need the government to step in and tell them what is disinformation and what isn’t, then power doesn’t rest with the people at all – it rests instead with the people who write the propaganda telling the public what to believe.”
  6. RUBIO TRIMS STATE DEPARTMENT Secretary of State Marco Rubio is reducing offices from 734 to 602, and moving to cut 15% of agency staff. Rubio stated,The sprawling bureaucracy created a system more beholden to radical political ideology than advancing America’s core national interests. That is why today I am announcing a comprehensive reorganization plan that will bring the Department into the 21st Century.”
  7. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PARTNERS WITH HILLSDALE AHEAD OF AMERICA’S 250TH ANNIVERSARY – The Trump White House has partnered with Hillsdale College to release a history video series called “The Story of America.” The series highlights “the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist.”

Watch the first two videos here.

  1. NEW POLL FINDS COLLEGE-AGED YOUTH LEAN REPUBLICAN While young people aged 22 to 29 lean Democrat by 6.4 points, youth aged 18 to 21 lean Republican by 11.7 points, according to the Yale Youth Poll.

B. STATES

  1. AMISH REBUILD NORTH CAROLINA For six months, 2,000 Pennsylvania Amish have worked to rebuild homes, businesses, and bridges in Chimney Rock, North Carolina, a town ravaged by Hurricane Helene. Amish volunteer Amanda Zook said, “We wanted to help the people with the disaster. Our hearts just felt drawn to come help the people in this area. It’s just inspiring to me to see how people can pull together, work together, and get something done.
  2. ARKANSAS BRINGS TEN COMMANDMENTS BACK TO SCHOOLS Arkansas passed a new law requiring government buildings and schools to display the Ten Commandments and the national motto. “You cannot separate the history of our nation and the development of moral law and the Ten Commandments, nor should we,” explained bill sponsor state Rep. Alyssa Brown (R).
  3. ARKANSAS LEGALIZES GOLD AND SILVER FOR TRANSACTIONS Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) signed a law making the state the first in the nation to allow local governments to receive payment in gold and silver. Former Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert (R) said, “We encourage all state legislators and federal elected officials to study this issue and seek approval in every state in the nation.”
  4. ALABAMA AFFIRMS GOLD AND SILVER AS LEGAL TENDER The Alabama Legal Tender Act recognizes “any refined gold or silver bullion, specie, or coin that has been stamped, marked, or imprinted with its weight and purity” as legal tender in the state. Following the bill’s unanimous passage, State Sen. Tim Melson (R) said, “This bill upholds their constitutional status and supports sound money for our citizens across the state.”
  5. IOWA ALLOWS 18-YEAR-OLDS TO CARRY HANDGUNS Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) signed a law allowing 18-year-olds to own and carry handguns. State Rep.

I was carrying firearms in the military, ready to defend my country when I was 18, along with hundreds of thousands of other young men and women.

C. INTERNATIONAL

  1. KLAUS SCHWAB OUT AT THE WEF Arch-globalist Klaus Schwab officially resigned as World Economic Forum Chairman, one day after the WEF launched an investigation into Schwab for allegedly misusing WEF funds and mistreating employees. The Sociable’s Tim Hinchliffe warned that the WEF will “continue to push for the totaltechnocratic takeoverof society.”

Professor Michael Rectenwald said, “He [Schwab] saw himself as deciding the future for all of humanity. Thus, he will go down in history as one of the most arrogant globalists ever to live.”

  1. HUNGARY BANS PRIDE PARADES The Hungarian parliament overwhelmingly passed a law banning pride parades in the nation and affirming the existence of only two biological genders. PM Viktor Orban declared, “We’re protecting children’s development, affirming that a person is born either male or female, and standing firm against drugs and foreign interference. In Hungary, common sense matters.”
  2. EL SALVADOR NOW SAFER THAN MOST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES – In just ten years, El Salvador has gone from being the most violent country in the Western Hemisphere to safer than France, Germany, the UK, Sweden, and Spain. The U.S. State Department now lists the country as Level 1 for travel. The New American noted, “In 2024, the Gallup Global Safety report listed El Salvador in its top 10 countries ‘where people feel safest when walking alone’: 88% of those polled said they felt safe.”
  3. ECUADOR REELECTS CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENT President Daniel Noboa won reelection with over 55% of the vote. Noboa, whose top priority has been reducing crime, said, “Ecuador is changing…and that path will mean our children will live better lives than we did.”

D. FAITH

  1. TRUMP AFFIRMS JESUS CHRIST AHEAD OF EASTER In an official Presidential message, President Trump said, “We acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross… Through His suffering, we have redemption. Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins. Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life. On Easter morning, the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty, and light prevails over darkness – signaling that death does not have the final word… We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our beloved Nation…”

One Trump official added, “Under President Trump, there will never be a ‘trans visibility month’ – and on Easter, we will be celebrating Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.”

  1. WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY PRAYS BEFORE BRIEFING – Ahead of a press conference, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt prayed,Lord Jesus, please give us the strength, the knowledge, the ability to articulate our words, have fun, and be confident. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” At 27, Leavitt is the youngest press secretary in American history.
  2. FLORIDA STATE REP. CALLS TO PROTECT CHILDREN Florida State Rep. Taylor Yarkosky (R) said, “I look back when I was a child growing up in the 80s in Iowa, what was the reason why we didn’t have all this [sexual materials in schools]? I’ll tell you what it was: because God was first and foremost and primary in every single thing that we did. The nuclear family was strong, and it governed this stuff.

Yarkosky continued, “Over the course of the last 30, 40 years, we’ve destroyed the nuclear family in this country. We’ve got culture wars through the roof, and this kind of filth is what is permeating our children. They’re attacking our children. And this is pure evil… We have to take a stand.”

  1. KING OF KINGS PROCLAIMS CHRIST Over Easter weekend, the animated movie The King of Kings ranked #2 at theaters, earning $19.3 million. Commentator Benny Johnson said the film’s success proves that “the demand for faith-based, non-woke entertainment is undeniable.”
  2. 18.6 MILLION USE YOUVERSION BIBLE APP ON RESURRECTION SUNDAY The YouVersion Bible app reported a record 18.6 million people engaging with the Bible on Resurrection Sunday, up 11% from last year, and up 27% for the week in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Founder Bobby Gruenewald said, “We’ve been seeing a growing hunger for God’s Word – not just through Bible App use, but in print Bible sales and momentum across the global Church… God is on the move… It’s about more people encountering the hope and love of Jesus and being transformed by the power of God’s Word.”

“… I look at the Democrats in front of me, and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud. Nothing I can do. I could find a cure to the most devastating disease – a disease that would wipe out entire nations or announce the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded, and these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand, and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won’t do it no matter what.”President Donald J Trump, from his 5th joint sessions address

INTRODUCTION

For our older readers, there will be a strong reaction to the phrase “New World Order” that, for many, signifies a blatant betrayal of American national sovereignty in favor of a corrupt ruling class in the political and corporate world. When the first Bush invoked those words, Republicans and Democrats both pursued what amounted to an anti-American agenda that weakened our economy, our well-being, and, of course, our country’s independence.

The many wars we fought proved to be outlandish failures, and the fears invoked to justify them often proved to be exaggerations or lies. The “War On Terror” justified the surveillance state and shocking violations of the Bill of Rights that still persist (including the further empowering of a FISA court that would be politically weaponized against our current President through the Orwellian-termed act, The Patriot Act).

In many ways, both the things Trump said in this speech and that the Democratic Party said in response with their desperate, uncivil and unprofessional behavior felt more like a raucous briefing from the frontline of a revolution against that very same world disorder of their “rules based international order” which is far worse than we could have imagined. It was as if Trump was on the front, proclaiming the demise of the enemy before him who were shooting back at him as he spoke. 

While Democrats fumed with their truthless little paddles and outbursts, Trump detailed blow after blow, thanks to DOGE and administrative efforts to root out fraud and abuse. We are finding that BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars went into the treasury and out in an intentionally underhanded way to funnel our money into the hands of NWO revolutionary organizations, almost all being identified as on the left. NWO moles within the government illegally facilitated this and covered it up for decades, while making themselves rich.

The left versus right divide has some relevance, but the deeper delineation could be seen as being more authoritarian versus less and being more for local and private autonomy from the state versus wanting a global hegemonic power that essentially dictates to every person how to live. It is simply authoritarianism versus freedomism and localist decentralization versus global hegemonic centralization.

A. THE TENOR

Many will detail the elements of the speech, blow by blow, but the tenor of the speech was simple: Trump and his team are going to dismantle the funding and organizational superstructure of the “New World Order,” and as for the “rules based international order,” it is toast. This also includes Trump’s team, who identified the illegal funneling of tax dollars to fund Democratic and establishment GOP candidates as well as their causes, which are not authorized by Congress and are therefore fraudulent and illegal.

B.  THE MIXED REGIME STRATEGY

The last almost 40 years at least have been a story of the NWO crowd trying to basically transform this country into a “mixed regime.”

A mixed regime is a hybrid of authoritarianism and democracy; basically, the people have limited choices as per the establishment’s rules (see Romania and how a candidate was disqualified from running). The Germans justify their own authoritarianism by pretending they are creating a firewall for democracy by excluding millions of voters from choosing a different path than the NWO crowd desires Germany to take.

To facilitate a mixed regime system in the U.S., the NWO crowd’s entertainment, news, education, and web industry all suppressed dissent from “the message,” which was set from the top and center by the likes of the Soros family and the top leaders of the Uniparty establishment.

Their brief was to press every person into service for their benefit and enrichment, suppress dissent or truth to keep everyone in line, and punish or cancel those who refused to bow. 

Their efforts against Trump and his supporters have been totalitarian in spirit and illegal in action. Their goal was to kill Trump, probably because he knows it. He also seems to have a good bead on who and what they really are: corrupt people led by doctrines of hell whose every belief is essentially an analog for demons. The lawfare and Judgefare waged through corrupt courts with corrupt lawyers (all deserving of serious prison time) have failed in their aim.

We, the Editor Paul Gordon Collier and myself, have a dear friend, Andy Badolato, who was, in our opinion, a victim of this lawfare: he lost everything and served prison time for something I personally believe was a setup, which is a very long story we might one day share here.

The point is that the NWO crowd went after thousands of people, including my friend Andy, for spurious reasons and under the flimsiest of technicalities, while they themselves were wantonly breaking laws in open defiance of the Bill of Rights. This has all been done ONLY to enrich themselves and grow their powers at the expense of your rights and well-being

All that failed; Trump is in charge, and he now has access to the proof of their decades-long criminal and treasonous conspiracies against these United States of America.

C. THE END OF “RULES-BASED?

The fear and rage, the nonsensical claims of being “literally Hitler,” are all predictable as Team Trump gores every sacred cow of the left, while, through DOGE, Team Trump is stripping the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars from the NWO, tax-payer-sponsored, crowd.

The NWO crowd shakes in fear as they speak of their “rules-based international order” as if it is sacred and holy. We Americans believe in “Rule of Law,” that is, in using the constitutional guidelines to bind government power, but “Rules-based” is really globalist limitations placed on other countries’ foreign policies to assure that the NWO, the “Global Order” stays firmly entrenched in power, to the detriment of the sovereignty of the nations captured by these perverse, anti-sovereign-state standards.

Trump is discarding it, even making fun of it, and this speech was no different. He destroyed their fake ethics and moral superiority complexes with brutal truth: every country who screws the USA over will be punished in some way and our only friends are those who show themselves friendly.

The EU and NATO countries have long enjoyed us paying to defend them with our own forces while both use NWO moles to funnel money to their organizations. They do this under the guise of being the moral betters of America. Trump’s speech was stark in how he discarded their pretend alliances and loyalty, as if NATO’s needs and wants come before America’s interests.

It is surprising that Trump didn’t invoke George Washington, who spoke against permanent entangling alliances. His concern seems to have been that Americans could be compelled to support things that go against our interests to please our allies.

But while Trump didn’t invoke Washington, his speech was certainly more akin to what Washington would have said than any President since, well, perhaps since Washington himself. 

The NWO crowd are all trembling in fear, but still are not vanquished and are still capable of inflicting harm on their enemies, especially as Trump, Musk, JD Vance, RFK Jr, Pam Bondi, and the rest of Trump’s growing army continues its own merciless onslaught.

The NWO crowd, including the leaders and the people who have bought into the fake public “religion” of the New World Order, are all enraged and on the war path.

D. THE FAILED CULTURE OF TOTALITARIANS ON DISPLAY

What we saw in Trump’s speech, in combination with the numerous low-class disruptions by the DNC, was the agony of totalitarians who failed in their ultimate goals and are now watching decades of subversive work to destroy our Constitution go down in flames.

This continues on as DOGE and the new leadership simply audit for fraud and abuse. The NWO crowd, including groups like their paid pro-abortion, wokist lunacy, climate change hoaxers, and pro Hamas terrorists (who remain protected by Soros DAs still refusing to prosecute them), are apoplectic.

For decades, they patiently labored and plotted, plotted and labored before they finally succeeded in subverting every institution, including government at all levels. More importantly, this also includes the means of cultural production, the press, the media, education, etc. Now, things are turning against them, and they’re turning against them, as Donald Trump would say, “Bigly!”

Trump’s tone and method were far from conventional, and he has consistently been an iconoclast to the “Federal culture” that permeates both those inside government and those whose work involves anything political.

Every group of people has some sort of cultural norms and standards, including the government and everyone engaging in politics. The Federal culture that once dominated everyone’s thinking and rules of conduct has been questioned and may be changing.

Those changes will optimally make it harder for NWO subversives to ever regain their shadow-state hijacking of Federal power and wealth, effectively turning this country into an NWO satellite of some international entity like the WEF or the UN.

E. THE DECORUM DILEMA THAT IS NOT A DILEMA AT ALL

Trump’s decorum was and will remain rather shocking at times. When I was the public face for a newspaper and ranted on social media, my partners asked if I was a professional newspaper publisher or an angry blogger. While at the time I was offended, it stuck with me, and I came to see that they were right and that decorum matters.

But Trump doesn’t have decorum like I think a President should. 

Why does Trump have a massive loyal following when he seems to lack the decorum one thinks is necessary to create such a loyal following? The answer is based on the truth that every task in every place and time must be suited in its design, functions, and ergonomics both to the task and to the person or people who will use it.

Trump fits millions of people who needed to have someone who was truly and demonstrably disloyal to the establishment, his lack of conventional decorum being a most visible sign. The work of dismantling as much of the NWO infrastructure as possible that has burrowed itself into the Federal government requires a tool, a President in this case, who has no love for the “New World Order” and its inhumane agendas. 

Thus, Trump fits the American voters who desire a forward advancement of freedom after decades of the NWO’s war on freedom from within our own government by corrupt people whose soul has been sold, figuratively speaking.

While Trump’s slogan is “Make America Great Again,” his agenda, if it succeeds, will advance freedom and economic opportunities for every person and people group and every household and neighborhood as has never been seen before. His slogan could have been, “Advance Freedom and Abundance for ALL Americans!”

F. RESTORING AMERICA’S SPIRIT

MAGA, in my mind, isn’t really about restoring America to the past. The idea is more about restoring the spirit of America that overcame prejudice and many flaws and sins, including the Trail of Tears. Through all these shortcomings and sins, we can see an arc of history bending not only toward justice, but toward a life of freedom and abundance being accessible to every American who works for it, AND with public help for those who cannot work or find work. 

MAGA doesn’t want America to go back and repeat the same sins and mistakes. What is driving many in this movement, even subconsciously, is the desire to restore America’s moral and legal justifications for its existence.

The idea is to lift again the fallen mantle of America’s God-given scroll of destiny and purpose, which is the arc of our history ever-bending towards this vision of freedom and abundance for all Americans. The closer we walk towards that future the further we walk from the patterns of our past (and even current) mistakes, sins, and bad ideas.

The spirit of what President Trump said (which also represents what I see as the spirit of MAGA), is to restore America’s true manifest destiny as a commonwealth of freedom. The spirit of America is to be the cradle of freedom civilizations that will purge the alien and seditious NWO conspirators from within that waged war on freedom and prosperity every day.

Blow after blow fell from Trump’s mouth as horrified NWO minions gasped from within but outwardly, dishonestly, they aped righteous anger over his preachments!

NO MORE illegal aliens.

NO MORE election fraud.

NO MORE grooming kids to make them mentally ill with evil doctrines.

NO MORE taxpayer dollars going to organizations who are dedicated to destroying our Constitutional Union of free and sovereign states and diverse national people groups.

NO MORE U.S. money to international organizations who are working to bring the NWO agenda to many lands as part of a global empire of tyranny. 

Over and over, Trump gored their ox and lifted the hope of millions of Americans who truly believe Trump is one of, if not the most, populist Presidents who is inspired and driven by his love for the people.

The fact he speaks their language and genuinely seems to try and deliver on his promises makes people feel he represents THEIR interests and not the interests of the globalist, NWO elites.

History will, in time, tell if indeed Trump lives up to this narrative, but for now it is a narrative many believe and which Trump seems to be basing his Presidency on, something that almost no President has ever done.

G. ONLY TRUMP WILL DO?

It has been said that the world rarely needs a General George S. Patton, but when the need is there, only a Patton will do. Trump’s outlandishness, bragging, and even rudeness seen in this speech certainly grates on people who wish for decorum, but this, along with his “exaggerations” (which his followers seem to receive as rhetorical flourish and “creative license,” not facts), is probably exactly what is needed at this time.

While Trump didn’t use the terms “New World Order,” “NWO Crowd,” or “NWO establishment,” and neither do the bad guys we call NWO minions or ruling class, he yet may lay waste to their kingdom.

His words are usually met with actions, unless they are part of negotiations meant to make his negotiating position stronger. Thus, when he says he will root out the illegal use of our country’s tax revenues for purposes not intended by Congress (in open defiance of America’s constitutionally-based Rule of Law), he means it.

So far, the NWO crowd can only shake and gyrate with nonsensical rhetoric in desperation to stop this assault on their source of power and wealth, embezzling tax revenues from the governments of the world.

H. THE NWO PRESS

The narrative used to be that uber-rich billionaires spent their money to help their preferred candidates and policies “win” by any means necessary, including mass information indoctrination and election fraud.

The fact the media are often running a deficit made people ask why they were still in business and who was funding them. The fact many corporations enact unpopular policies, lose customers, and stay in business had people asking who was bankrolling them.

The idea here was that every major corporation, as well as every educational, news, information, and entertainment institution, and the courts, as well as the  bureaucracy, could enact policies and produce content meant to deceive and control the masses, turning them into NWO minions or mindless atomized drones.

These institutions would at times lose popularity and support, but we all assumed these billionaires at the top of the NWO cabal sustained the private institutions while our tax dollars went to the government. It turns out these institutions are all funded by tax dollars.

These “billionaire moles” eventually became the super majority within the bureaucracy. They worked as liaisons with private entities (corporations) to enable the government to use private entities to do things to you that otherwise would be illegal for government to do, like restricting your free expression. They bribed them with your money to attack your rights.

At this point, though, the line between the state and the state-favored corporation may be gone altogether, though it appears Trump to ends at least one corpostate. Let us hope he isn’t replacing it with another one.

The New York Times remains afloat after decades of fake journalism meant to mask their rancid NWO political agenda and their hatred of liberty, and even decency. That paper should have failed. But Federal money saved it from financial disaster. The NWO Press are all facing major financial woes because Soros types didn’t use their own money to fund them; they stole it from the taxpayers, funneled through layers of NGOs and other entities until Soros himself wrote the check and made himself a kingmaker in the NWO establishment

Trump has eviscerated the NWO FakePress in many ways, and they continue their libelous attacks on him and his team, but when Trump spoke about the abuse of tax dollars from within the government by moles working with these billionaires, he was sounding the death knell on their subversive insurrection from within our government by traitors.

The NWO crowd didn’t show any respect for the young man who was made an honorary Secret Service agent or the families who lost loved ones to illegal alien killers. While many think this was heartless of them, it is probably their frozen state of fear and rage.

When you are in such a state, it’s hard to engage in rationality, let alone behave in a civil manner with those you perceive and maybe know are dismantling a major aspect of your power and a major source of your wealth. 

SUMMARY

The speech was a tour de force of the Trump team’s war on the NWO itself, which is both a domestic and international battle. Our founder, Don McAlvany, knew (and still knows) about the NWO. Indeed, at one time, we were both swimming in the same water (as it were) as I was working with some of the same people and organizations that he was.

It is incredible for older people who have lived for so long under this self-hating regime (which may have started with the first Bush) to see a time when the “NWO” was so challenged at the heart of its power.

The charge is being led by an imperfect man with many flaws and lack of decorum, a man who goes so hard against what we always called the New World Order, using Bush’s own confession that such a thing existed. Not only is he challenging the NWO,  he’s WINNING significant victories.

We have never seen the NWO crowd on their back foot, in defense, and even disarray, as now they seem to be. This speech will be remembered as being symbolic of real achievements, as well as being the clarion call to unite against our common foe, the NWO.

Whatever they call themselves or others call them, veterans of this war on freedom often call them the New World Order. What Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum are pushing is still the same NWO agenda first publicized by George Bush the First

What began in 1989 when the first Bush spoke of a kinder, gentler nation and a New World Order (all nice-sounding words that were a cover for their war AGAINST freedom) has met an existential threat in the person of Donald Trump.

Trump’s speech was salt on the wounds of the NWO crowd because, unlike most such speeches, this one was more about what the President was doing now or has already achieved than just promises and rhetoric meant to entertain.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says 83% of USAID programs canceled – KYMA
Source Link
Excerpt:

 83% of United States Agency for International Development (USAID) programs have been canceled, according to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

In a social media post Monday, Secretary Rubio said after a six-week review, 5,200 contracts have been canceled, and the programs “did not serve, and in some cases, even harmed” the national interests of the United States.

Rubio went on to say the remaining 18%, or about 1,000 contracts, will “now be administered more effectively under the State Department.”

However, Rubio did not provide details about which programs had been cut, and which will remain in place.

He also thanked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and his staff for the “overdue” reforms.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the department will only keep 1,000 USAID programs and canceling 5,200 contracts.

Rubio wrote on X:

After a 6 week review we are officially cancelling 83% of the programs at USAID.

The 5200 contracts that are now cancelled spent tens of billions of dollars in ways that did not serve, (and in some cases even harmed), the core national interests of the United States.

In consultation with Congress, we intend for the remaining 18% of programs we are keeping (approximately 1000) to now be administered more effectively under the State Department.

Thank you to DOGE and our hardworking staff who worked very long hours to achieve this overdue and historic reform.

Justice Alito’s USAID dissent is a map for Trump – Salon
Source Link
Excerpt:

In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court disparaged Trump’s claim that presidents can do whatever they want, by ordering the administration to disburse $2 billion in USAID grants in compliance with lower court rulings. Although the narrow ruling has been widely applauded as at least a temporary victory for the rule of law, the victory is overshadowed by ominous signaling in the dissent.

In response to a one-paragraph ruling, Justices Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch wrote lengthy and strident dissents. Of the four justices, at least two are ethically compromised by their refusals to recuse from cases involving their own billionaire benefactors. Justices Alito and Thomas have also faced credible impeachment demands following their partisan embrace of Trump’s MAGA ethos.

They did not just dissent in the USAID ruling, they dissembled. They lied about both the court record and the district judge, and they drew a map to show Trump how to frustrate the case going forward.

The majority protected the legislature’s role 

The Court’s 5-4 majority opinion, in which Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices to narrowly protect Congress’ power of the purse, holding that under Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, since Congress had already appropriated the USAID and it was already signed into law, Trump could not legally freeze it. In other words, a president does not have the power to break, disregard or rewrite laws just because he disagrees with them.

Two recent polls show Donald Trump won the American audience in his battle with Ukrainian PM Volodymyr Zelensky in the oval office, which ended with Zelensky being kicked out.

Excerpt:

As far as who supports Trump and who supports Ukraine’s Zelenskyy, it appears that the Democrats, the Never Trumpers, and the Neocons are on the opposite side of the issue with the American people, a pair of new polls suggest.

Two polls have been released and both seem to show that Trump is coming out on top in this dust up between the president and the Ukrainian dictator.

A new YouGov poll, for instance, finds that Trump’s approval rating on the war in Ukraine is 24 points higher than Biden’s was.

Meanwhile, a slew of questions polled by 2Way as related by Mark Halperin also seems to show that Americans support Trump more.

In one finding, nearly 50 percent of those polled by 2Way said that Donald Trump and VP JD Vance had a stronger argument during that messy White House visit last week. Worse for Zelenskyy, 62 percent said they were offended by his actions in the White House meeting.

The results also show that Americans understand that Ukraine doesn’t want to give itself away, but few Americans support the idea that Ukraine can keep all the territory it lost to Russia in this war.

So far, at least, Americans are on the same page Trump is on for the most part.

Attorney General Faces Impeachment for Targeting Pro-life Centers– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

The New Jersey attorney general is facing impeachment, in part, for allegedly targeting pregnancy resource centers for investigation because of their pro-life stance and for demanding the names of their staff and donors in the process.

Republicans in the New Jersey Assembly filed articles of impeachment against Attorney General Matthew Platkin on Thursday. They accused him of targeting “certain organizations based upon the political beliefs of the organization, specifically pro-life pregnancy centers.”

The resolution refers to Platkin targeting First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, which has five locations in the state.

Platkin demanded documents and information from First Choice last year, including the names of staff and the identities of its donors. The attorney general brought the investigation under multiple statutes, but most notably under the Consumer Fraud Act, according to Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Gabriella McIntyre.

USAID Tax Dollars for India’s First Transgender Clinic Was Just Canceled– lidblog.com

I know what you are asking: WHY the heck were our tax dollars in the form of cash from USAID going to pay for a clinic for transgender people in India?

That is a really good question. If one is worried about transgender people getting a health clinic, shouldn’t we be spending that cash on American transgender people? As for me, I don’t want ANY of my tax dollars paying for transgender anything, not here or in India. But I sure as HELL don’t want it being spent in India!

Regardless, according to the BBC, that cash has now been cut off and the transgender clinic in India is now forced to exist on its own efforts… as it should have been in the first place.

A Texas surgeon indicted by the Biden Justice Department for blowing the whistle on transgender medicine has been invited to attend President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night.

Dr. Eithan Haim called the feeling “indescribable” after staring down the threat of a decade-long prison sentence.

“It’s a hard thing to try to wrap into words,” Haim told “Fox & Friends First” Monday.

President Donald Trump announced the termination of Biden-appointed Attorney Generals on a Truth Social post, stating “Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence.”

President Donald Trump drained more of the swamp on Tuesday night, firing all U.S. attorneys appointed by his predecessor, President Joe Biden.

As is his wont, Trump took to the Truth Social platform to make the announcement. In his post, Trump indicated that the firings were a major step in ridding the Department of Justice of partisan hacks who waged a lawfare campaign against him, his supporters, and other conservatives for political purposes.

“Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before. Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys,” Trump wrote. “We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence.”

Trump also claimed that the move would help usher in “America’s Golden Age,” which he said “must have a fair Justice System.” That fair justice system “BEGINS TODAY!” he assured everyone.

US Army officially bans gender-confused individuals from joining, halts ‘transition’ procedures– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

“The U.S. Army will no longer allow [professed] transgender individuals to join the military and will stop performing or facilitating procedures associated with gender transition for service members,” stated a Valentine’s Day post by the U.S. Army on X.   

“Effective immediately, all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused, and all unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service members are paused,” read a subsequent post, adding, “Individuals with gender dysphoria have volunteered to serve our country and will be treated with dignity and respect.” 

The posts by the Army closely echo a memo by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, circulated on February 7. 

“Effective immediately, all new accessions for individuals with a history of gender dysphoria are paused,” wrote Hegseth. “All unscheduled, scheduled, or planned medical procedures associated with affirming or facilitating a gender transition for Service members are paused.” 

While pro-transgender activists claim there are currently 15,000 military members who claim that they are “transgender” – out of a total 1.3 million active duty personnel – officials say that the actual number is a fraction of that.  

During his inauguration speech, President Trump promised that the federal government would only acknowledge two sexes – male and female – while vowing to “defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology.”  

Trump then signed an executive order on Day One of his presidency, rescinding a Biden administration executive order that had allowed gender-confused people to join the military. 

As reported earlier by LifeSiteNews, the Biden order made it “the policy of the United States to ensure that all [so-called] transgender individuals who wish to serve in the United States military and can meet the appropriate standards shall be able to do so openly” and without alleged “discrimination.” 

The Biden order revoked President Trump’s first-term decision to prohibit gender-confused individuals from enlisting in the military. 

As commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, on January 27, Trump ordered the Pentagon to craft a policy to ensure the readiness and effectiveness of the Armed Forces, which included addressing the issue of gender-confused individuals in the military.  

“The United States military has a clear mission: to protect the American people and our homeland as the world’s most lethal and effective fighting force,” wrote Trump. “Success in this existential mission requires a singular focus on developing the requisite warrior ethos, and the pursuit of military excellence cannot be diluted to accommodate political agendas or other ideologies harmful to unit cohesion.” 

“Recently, however, the Armed Forces have been afflicted with radical gender ideology to appease activists unconcerned with the requirements of military service like physical and mental health, selflessness, and unit cohesion,” he explained. It is the longstanding policy of the Department of Defense (DoD) “to ensure that service members are ‘[f]ree of medical conditions or physical defects that may reasonably be expected to require excessive time lost from duty for necessary treatment or hospitalization.’”   

As a result, many mental and physical health conditions are incompatible with active duty, from conditions that require substantial medication or medical treatment to bipolar and related disorders, eating disorders, suicidality, and prior psychiatric hospitalization. 

Consistent with the military mission and longstanding DoD policy, expressing a false “gender identity” divergent from an individual’s sex cannot satisfy the rigorous standards necessary for military service.  Beyond the hormonal and surgical medical interventions involved, adoption of a gender identity inconsistent with an individual’s sex conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle, even in one’s personal life.  A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.  

For the sake of our Nation and the patriotic Americans who volunteer to serve it, military service must be reserved for those mentally and physically fit for duty.  The Armed Forces must adhere to high mental and physical health standards to ensure our military can deploy, fight, and win, including in austere conditions and without the benefit of routine medical treatment or special provisions. 

“If you want to have a ‘sex change’ or a social justice seminar, then you can do it somewhere else, but you’re not going to do it in the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, Air Force, Space Force, or the United States Marines — sorry,” warned then-candidate Trump at a campaign rally in North Carolina in August.
