DEI-Obsessed Democrats Are Doing This on Purpose



Now I’m convinced. They are definitely doing this on purpose.

Content related to Black and female service members has been removed from Arlington National Cemetery’s website in a supposed attempt to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in the federal government.

The New York Times reported that “the graves of Black and female service members have vanished as the Trump administration purges government websites of references to diversity and inclusion.”


I believe they are not removing the actual history but only the things put in by Biden's DEI people who likely changed or added DEI material to them.

No Malicious Compliance ..

Persons unnamed have been intentionally removing historical information, last month was Tuskegee Airmen from a DOD Website




Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Sunday said the removal of Tuskegee Airmen videos and curriculum about the Tuskegee Airmen from its military instruction curriculum “has been immediately reversed.”

Hegesth posted the comment in response to concerns from U.S. Sen. Katie Britt about “malicious compliance we’ve seen in recent days.”

“We’re all over it Senator. This will not stand,” Hegseth posted in response to Britt’s social media comments. “This will not stand.”

“I have no doubt Secretary Hegseth will correct and get to the bottom of the malicious compliance we’ve seen in recent days. President Trump celebrated and honored the Tuskegee Airmen,” Britt posted.

If burning Teslas make you furious, but watching thousands of federal workers get stripped of their jobs, healthcare, and pensions doesn’t move you—YOU are the problem. If scorched cars spark more outrage than billions being slashed from cancer research, humanitarian aid, education, and support for the most vulnerable—your moral compass is broken. This ain’t about Teslas. It’s about twisted priorities, cold-hearted politics, and willful ignorance. Silence in the face of suffering is complicity. Miss us with your fake outrage.

In legal news, the Washington Post ran a more encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Judge denies request by U.S. Institute of Peace to stop DOGE takeover.” The case related to the Moose story that I reported earlier this week, the one where the 78-year-old president of the so-called Institute for Peace barricaded himself in his office and gorged on Domino’s stuffed-crust pizza deliveries until the police escorted him out.

image 3.png

After being unceremoniously ejected from his Cold War-era offices, Moose and his dark legions of progressive lawfare lawyers sued, of course, seeking a TRO reinstating Moose and ejecting DOGE instead.

USIP’s lawyer complained to the judge that DOGE is “moving with lightning speed.” He added dejectedly that, if DOGE staffers continue at this rate, they will soon “reduce this organization to rubble.” Well, hopefully.

Judge Beryl Howell (Obama appointee) was, as they say, not amused by DOGE’s heavy-handed tactics, especially in recruiting the FBI and the DC police department to help the cost-cutting team scrape off USIP’s bureaucratic crustaceans. “I’m very offended by how DOGE has operated at the institute,” Judge Howell sniped from the bench.

But in the end, the seasoned jurist properly found there was no sufficient reason to grant the TRO. “My concern about how this has gone down cannot sway me in my consideration of factors of the TRO.” Specifically, she said that the plaintiffs — ousted USIP board members who sued in their official capacities — “did not show they would be irreparably harmed if they were not reinstated and DOGE staffers were allowed to remain in the institute’s offices.”

She piled on, saying there was also “confusion in the complaint on a number of levels.” It’s a bad sign for your entire case when the judge calls your complaint “confused.” It’s even worse when she refers to layers of confusion.

It was great to see an Obama judge even-handedly applying the law, but one hidden nugget quickly became the most interesting part of the story. We learned more about the unprecedented warp speed at which the Trump team is running. the Journal reported, “A cybersecurity expert” —meaning, a hacker— “had driven from Georgia to DC in the middle of the night at DOGE’s request to help DOGE staffers access the institute’s computer systems.”

DOGE called in a hacker in the middle of the night! That, friends, is not the speed of government. It’s not really even the speed of business. This is something completely different.

This is the speed of war.

You can’t fight entrenched administrative power with press conferences and think tank reports. You can only fight it by showing up in the middle of the night, locking the doors, and hacking the systems. What we are seeing is political shock and awe.

America’s Largest Teachers Union Sues To Keep ‘Stranglehold’ On Failed Education Deep State



“Instead of focusing on the facts and offering helpful solutions to improve student outcomes, the union is once again misleading the American public to keep their stranglehold on the American education bureaucracy,” Madi Biedermann, deputy assistant secretary for communications at the Department of Education, told The Federalist. “The union is also forcing the Department to waste resources on litigation instead of the programs the union claims to care about and the kids this Administration is fighting for.”

“As President Trump and Secretary McMahon have made clear, sunsetting the Department of Education will be done in partnership with Congress and national and state leaders to ensure all statutorily required programs are managed responsibly and where they best serve students and families. To date, no action has been taken to move federally mandated programs out of the Department of Education,” Biedermann added. “The U.S. Department of Education continues to deliver on all programs that fall under the agency’s purview, including vigilantly enforcing federal civil rights laws in schools and ensuring students with special needs and disabilities have access to critical resources.”

As The Federalist reported, President Donald Trump signed an executive order last Thursday directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of dismantling the department in order to help improve an education system that produces some of the worst outcomes in the developed world. Trump said on Friday that some of the department’s duties would be transferred to other agencies as part of that process.

America’s education establishment, like teachers unions and their friends in the race-grifter world, has benefitted greatly from control over the federal education bureaucracy since its inception (the department itself came as a gift from President Jimmy Carter after teachers unions endorsed him).

"Former Director of the CIA John Brennan “issued the Visas to 15 of the 19 September 11 hijackers” AGAIN: 15 out of the 19 Visas issued to the 9/11 hijackers were issued by the man who would become Director of the CIA - John Brennan was the CIA daily intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton - In 1996, he was CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - John Brennan issued passports to 9/11 hijackers - John Brennan becomes Director of the CIA What are the odds???"

Dems’ Newest Congressional Candidate Is Proof The Deep State Is Real




A former FBI analyst who resigned over the Trump administration and boasted about working on January 6 cases is running for Congress as a Democrat.

John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District — and he’s wasted no time in blasting the Trump administration and invoking January 6.

Sullivan worked in the bureau for almost 17 years but resigned in April over the Trump administration, according to his Substack

Since leaving the bureau, he’s slammed the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Sullivan claimed President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel pose a “threat … to American safety and security.”

He also stated that investigating January 6 was “one of [his] proudest moments in the FBI.”

There were 26 FBI confidential human informants (CHS) in Washington D.C. attending events connected to January 6, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) watchdog.

On Friday, the New York Times ran another very encouraging story headlined, “C.I.A. Fires Top Doctor Targeted by Far-Right Activist.” Jumping to the end, the Times never explained the fascinating question of why the CIA has “public health doctors” on staff. It didn’t even say what this particular doctor —who was the article’s main subject— did for the Agency. It’s almost like they’re not even trying at this point.


image.png


The CIA hired “Doctor” Terry Adirim (Master’s in Public Health) in December on a five-year renewable contract, as its “Director of the Center for Global Health Services.” Surely, if the blandly-named Center did anything good, the Times would surely have told us all about it. But readers got zero background; it remains a baffling mystery. That probably means the Center does virus-related stuff in other countries whose citizens would intensely dislike it if they knew what CIA was really up to. But whatever.

Dr. Terry holds a Harvard MPH and has a long resume of government service. In particular, and what got her plug pulled, Terry helped design and enforce the Pentagon’s vaccine mandate. Reports suggest she was the loudest and strongest internal DoD advocate for requiring jabs for healthy people in the least-risk cohort: U.S. soldiers.

Perhaps, or probably, seeing the writing on the Old Testament wall, the deep state spirited Dr. Terry out of DoD and into the bowels of the CIA skunkworks. Why? Because according to the Times, Dr. Adirim was only a month away from qualifying for full top-tier federal retirement benefits. But the Trump Administration found out about her new 5-year CIA contract, and she got her notice on April 4th. In other words, they deleted her plush retirement package.


Now, she’s suing.

Hilariously, the Times lovingly described Dr. Terry’s lawsuit in gleaming detail, paragraph after paragraph, even though it later conceded that her “suit has no direct evidence.” (Cue massive eye roll.) Her case argued a complicated set of facts about how “far right” covid activist Ivan Raiklin told Laura Loomer about Dr. Terry’s mandate hi-jinx, and then Laura used her connections to get Terry fired for political reasons.

The reporter even managed to shoehorn Roseanne Barr and General Flynn into the story.

Dr. Terry has no case, and that was obvious from the story itself. Not only was there “no direct evidence,” but the story’s final paragraph got around to admitting that “a clause in her contract allows termination with 30 days’ notice for any reason.” In other words, it doesn’t matter whether Laura Loomer complained to someone about bureaucratic barnacle Dr. Terry. She was an “at will” contractee, who enjoyed no civil service protections.

Unless she can show illegal discrimination or breach of specific terms in her contract, neither of which were mentioned in the story, her lawsuit is going nowhere.

Lest you be tempted to feel any sympathy for poor Dr. Terry, recall that, if the jab critics —particularly the most serious and data-driven among them— are even partly right, then this doctor you never heard of may be the culprit of the most consequential medical policy error in modern U.S. military history.


image 5.png


What the Times did its level best trying to make sound like more ugly Trump retaliation politics was, in fact, great news. Terry Adirim’s firing shows that covid accountability is starting to catch up with the insiders, not just the disposable white-coated morons dumb enough to leap in front of cameras during the virus time. “Doctor” Terry was a strategic-level bureaucrat, an insider who actually pulled Pentagon policy levers. And her firing shows the reckoning is no longer reaching just the media-exposed doctors— it’s catching up to the shadowy technocrats behind the curtains.

Her termination was significant and encouraging because she never said anything controversial in public. Terry stayed safely hidden behind the bureaucratic drapes. But they found her anyway. In other words, the Trump Administration’s focus on covid accountability is not just performative. They really are trying to root these dangerous people out.

The pushback against a muley, over-reaching judiciary is starting to spread. Two days ago, the Florida Phoenix ran a story headlined, “Defiant State AG Uthmeier says he won't tell cops to stop arrests under suspended immigration law.” The sub-headline added, “AG faces hearing on May 29, when a U.S. judge will consider holding him in contempt.”


image 4.png


The standoff began after Florida passed a law making it a first-degree misdemeanor for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien,” with higher charges for subsequent re-entry. Activists promptly sued, making the tired and long-overused argument that only the federal government can enforce immigration laws. On April 4th, U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams agreed, and ordered enforcement of Florida’s new law to be indefinitely stayed.

About two weeks later on April 23rd, State Attorney General James Uthmeier —appointed by DeSantis to replace the previous AG who took Marco Rubio’s Senate seat— wrote a letter to Florida’s law enforcement agencies telling them to keep making arrests under the new law despite Judge Williams’ order. He also appealed Judge William’s stay to the Eleventh Circuit.

“I do not believe an AG should be held in contempt for respecting the rule of law and appropriate separation of powers,” Uthmeier explained in a press conference. “The ACLU is dead set on obstructing President Donald Trump’s efforts to detain and deport illegals, and we are going to fight back. We will vigorously defend our laws and advance President Trump’s agenda on illegal immigration.”

Even though no arrests have been made since Uthmeier’s letter, Judge Williams still issued an order to show cause why AG Uthmeier should not be held in contempt of court, a set a hearing for May 29th.

Uthmeier is on solid ground. Unfortunately for immigration activists, the argument that only the federal government can enforce immigration law has already taken serious damage in the Fifth Circuit. In Texas v. United States and related rulings, the Fifth explicitly upheld states’ ability to participate in immigration enforcement under certain conditions, like when the federal government neglects its enforcement responsibilities.


image 8.png


To be perfectly fair, the Fifth Circuit’s decisions don’t bind the Eleventh Circuit or Judge Williams. But if the Eleventh decides differently, the case will be immediately ripe for the U.S. Supreme Court under the “split decisions” rule. Various parts of the Fifth Circuit’s decisions are already at the Supreme Court anyway.

Thus, we can see that Attorney General Uthmeier is playing a much bigger game than rope-an-attorney-general. A split between the Fifth and Eleventh Circuits over immigration enforcement would put the case on a direct glide path to the Supreme Court. That might be exactly what Florida and AG Uthmeier are aiming for: a constitutional showdown.

And if the Supreme Court allows states to participate in immigration law, even a little, the national floodgates will burst open. Well played, General Uthmeier.

J6 Prosecutors Brag To Congress About Locking Up Americans For Misdemeanors




“Thanks to the work of our team, the Justice Department charged more than 1,500 people with crimes and obtained criminal convictions against almost 1,300 people,” Romano said. “We ensured that the rioters would face accountability, no matter how short-lived. Our work created a public record of the crimes committed that day.”

Sometimes prosecutors forget their job is not to see who can secure the most convictions, but to seek justice within the bounds of the law. It is scary to hear a prosecutor brag about the number of charges and convictions he had.

Another disgruntled former DOJ prosecutor, Sara Levine, sobbed bitterly in a lengthy, narcissistic saga about her job, how she was hired, what she did, what it meant to her, and how she was ultimately canned. Levine didn’t cry or even show concern for locking away so many breadwinners in American families and forever blemishing their work history with a federal conviction. She was proud of the work she did at the DOJ and upset that Trump erased her efforts.

“Jan. 20, 2025 the president pardoned almost all of the defendants charged on Jan. 6 and commuted the sentence of every other rioter. I was heartbroken all that effort to pursue justice for the officers and the country was wiped away with a single proclamation,” Levine said.

After J6, former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice spent the next four years hunting down attendees. The FBI interrogated Americans in their homes and upended many lives. Convictions were their marching orders, and they delivered, ignoring more important threats to America.

The prosecutors who dedicated themselves to getting Jan. 6 convictions cannot fathom that they were heavy-handed and unjustly charged too many people. Or that in some cases they violated the Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial, keeping some people locked up over a year before they went to trial, and jailing people on misdemeanor charges.

That is why Democrats are sensitive about how Jan. 6 is characterized. They need Americans to believe a violent angry mob tried to overturn the election. If it was not, everything they have done in response to Jan. 6 will look awful politically.

CFTC 'Staff' Placed on Leave Amid Investigation




The government's Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regulates the commodities and derivatives markets. Their mission statement...

The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. derivatives markets through sound regulation.

...and the little snippets of history on the webpage...

Futures contracts for agricultural commodities have been traded in the United States for more than 150 years and have been under Federal regulation since the 1920s. When the CFTC was created in 1974 with the enactment of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission Act, most futures trading took place in the agricultural sector. Over the years, the futures industry has become increasingly varied and complex

...give the novice a basic idea of what their function is and what kind of things theCFTC 'regulates.'

There's also what should be a pretty familiar popular reference available for folks to have an 'Ah-HA!' moment, which had to do with orange futures.

It's one thing when kingpins - or duckpins - like the fictional Dukes try to corner the market on a future, but it's another thing entirely to see something pop up that puts the regulators themselves in a questionable light.

This last bit of the press release certainly did that.

...the CFTC has placed staff on administrative leave for potential violations of laws, government ethics requirements and professional rules of conduct. Investigations are currently ongoing into these matters and the CFTC will provide updates as appropriate.

What sort of hanky-panky was going on, and how did they find it?

Power with Control

What sort of hanky-panky was going on, and how did they find it?​

Seems they went after an online trading company with lies and other BS tactics.

A judge the same month granted an order freezing assets of the CEO and My Forex Funds. The freeze request included a sworn statement from an agency investigator indicating that $31.5 million had been transferred to an account controlled by the CEO.

The transfers were actually payments to Canadian tax authorities.

“Counsel for the CFTC should have corrected this error, and regrets failing to do so,” the agency said in a December 2023 filing. The firm in 2024 called on the court to sanction the CFTC for the misstep.
