Incoming Trump Administration
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Now they tell us! Yesterday, the Hill ran a flabbergasting story headlined, “FBI shuttered DEI office last month.” Wait. Last month? You mean, after the election and after the nomination of Kash Patel to run the discredited “law enforcement” agency? Behold, the Trump Effect strikes again.
In a written statement emailed to the Hill, the FBI non-explained that, “In recent weeks” —*weeks? when exactly?— “the FBI” —who at the FBI?— “took steps” —baby steps? pigeon steps? adult human steps?— “to close the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI), effective by December 2024.” Effective as of a WHOLE MONTH?
Hold on a sec. Were they saying they already closed it? Last month? Like…secretly? Without anybody even noticing? What on Earth?
Well, spank my pillows and call me Sally. The brave men and women of the FBI apparently jettisoned their woke DEI office in the dead of night, anonymously, without anyone getting the credit or the blame, so their arrogant, virtue-signaling credentials could remain un-smudged by progressive criticism from their woke peers.
Fox’s article confirmed these suspicions, adding the remarkable fact that “The agency didn't specify why it had closed the office.” So brave! So virtuous! So transparent! Let’s just close it, hunker down, and not answer questions.
I mean, why would a government agency explain shutting down its most publicly visible office? Like it owes taxpayers an explanation, haha.
Whatever the FBI’s DEI office was up to, it must have been really gross. President Trump thought so, too:
FBI special agent and whistleblower Steve Friend tweeted that he knew why the agency speed-disassembled its DEI office: to shield the employees working there from all being made instantly redundant —i.e., DOGE’d— and fired en masse:
In other words, the FBI’s entire DEI office just went undercover, like cockroaches scurrying under the refrigerator. It’s in witness protection! Where it will stay, living off the grid and trying to survive in hiding for the four years till Trump is gone.
Here’s a routine reminder of how the Democrats magically transformed an Enron paper-shredding law into an insurrection law wielded against curious Capitol tourists. If the FBI shreds any documents, it could be more insurrection. So be careful, FBI.
Finally, I won’t be sad to see the end of “Diversity Agents,” whatever they are. I’m just saying:
☕️ BLAME GAMES ☙ Friday, January 17, 2025 ☙ C&C NEWS 🦠
More media messaging over spiking turbo cancer; Deep state rewrites history of Biden's involuntary departure; FBI's DEI office enters witness protection; Trump tax revolution quietly begins; more.

Kristi Noem Embarrasses Clueless Democrat Senator Andy Kim When He Asks Her a Stupid Question on Border Security
Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.) began questioning Noem by asking a stupid question: he cited President Trump’s appointment of Tom Homan as Border czar and asked who would be in charge of the nation’s borders.
Any senator should know that the President, under the Constitution, has ultimate authority over the United States’ national security, including the borders of America.
Noem promptly clarified this basic fact for Kim, who said he thought this was the answer he would have given. But he then said he got ‘confused’ and reiterated that Trump appointed Homan to carry out border enforcement.
Noem again reminded him that Trump is in charge of border security. Because of this, Homan and Noem work under Trump and will carry out his directives.
How embarrassing.

Democrats Likely to Delay Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth’s Confirmation
Wicker told Politico Thursday that although Hegseth has the votes to be confirmed as defense secretary, Democrats are likely to drag it out as long as possible, until as late as Thursday.
“I expect our Democratic friends will delay it to the extent to which they are free to do under the rules. Wednesday, Thursday perhaps,” Wicker told the outlet.
“This is not something that needs to drag out,” he added. “He’s got the votes.”
Hegseth’s strong performance at his nomination hearing on Tuesday garnered universal support from Republicans, including from those who had previously expressed reluctance to support him, such as Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Joni Ernst (R-IA).
Meanwhile, Democrats — who unleashed vicious attacks on his character and regurgitated anonymous smears against him at the hearing — have spent the last several days complaining that he is unqualified to lead the department.
Coincidentally, earlier this week, a Department of Defense Inspector General report was released showing that Biden Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin broke the law and jeopardized the country’s security when he underwent hospitalization without informing President Joe Biden, the commander in chief — essentially breaking the chain of command at a time when the U.S. military is involved in multiple conflicts.

Blumenthal has serious issues with questioning these nominees. He acts like there is no history to be addressed. Ignoring the over 300,000 children who were lost by the Biden administration because he is concerned about the children who may be separated by Trump policies is ridiculous. But I must confess his questioning of Hegseth actually annoyed me more. Sen. Stolen Valor Blumenthal shouldn't even be on the armed forces committee. What an a$$!!
Not sure where to put this, but last night and again this morning I'm not seeing the head of Trump's SS detail, Sean Curran, at Trump's shoulder. Although Trump's SS Director nominee, I figure he'd want to still be at Trump's shoulder through to the swearing in.
In just a few hours, Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. He will be surrounded by family and friends, as well as prominent American politicians (no, that does not include you, AOC) and dignitaries from abroad.
Traditionally, foreign heads of state are not often invited to an American inauguration, but Trump did extend invitations this year to some very good ones, including Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Argentina's Javier Milei, both of whom have said they will attend. Trump also invited China's Xi Jinping, but China opted to send its second in command, Vice President Han Zheng.
It is revealing who Trump did NOT invite, such as the U.K.'s 'Two-Tier' Kier Starmer, who likes to imprison British subjects for free speech. Nigel Farage was invited, however, and will attend.
Maybe the most delicious snub from Trump was the leader of the country that has bilked billions out of America over the past four years, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky. Officially, Zelensky's spokespeople have noted that he will not attend because it wouldn't look good for him to go to an inauguration while his country is at war (the Oscars are fine though, apparently).
If you ask Donald Trump Jr., though, that's not how it went down at all. According to the younger Trump, Zelensky BEGGED to be invited to the inauguration -- three times -- and each time, Team Trump gave him the Heisman stance of rejection.
At noon, Vice President Vance will be sworn-in first, by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Vance’s hand will rest on a Bible his great-grandmother ‘Mamaw’ Bonnie gave him in 2003 when he left for Marines basic training. After that, Chief Justice John Roberts will swear in President Trump, and not merely on one Bible, but two—twice as many as other presidents!— a Bible his mother gave him in 1955 plus President Lincoln’s, from the 1861 Lincoln Inauguration, and used in Trump’s 2017 Inauguration.
But this time, everything is different, like Trump’s glowering presidential portrait. For another thing, Trump’s Transition Team has shown historic discipline — and nothing has leaked. Keeping the team’s offices located outside of DC must have helped, but the team worked flawlessly.
Due to the lack of leaks, corporate media lacks any idea how many executive orders Trump will sign immediately after his Inauguration (some at the Capitol, and then more at the Capitol One Arena). Whatever the number is, he plans to sign a lot. Headlines range from predicting “more than 50” (NBC) to “over 200” (a much more enthused Fox) — but it seems pretty clear it will be a record-setting number.
Speaking to supporters at last night’s rally, Trump said his advisors asked him to stretch out signing his orders, doing it over weeks for maximum politcal benefit. But he’s not waiting. He’s doing them all today, in one great blast, an act of political genius that will confound corporate media, which will have to pick what to complain about tomorrow. Then Trump promised, “It’s not gonna stop!”
Trump teased a bunch of EO topics. It hardly seems necessary to run through them all; we’ll literally find out in a few hours. But for a quick taste, he described pending orders to: disassemble diversity; define “man” and “woman”; refuse to hire staffers who worked for RINO traitors during his first term; suspend security clearances for the 51 deep state liars who signed the letter verifying the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation; designate drug cartels as foreign terrorists; raise standards for classifying anything; release records on assassinations; pardon the non-violent January 6th political prisoners; stop the feds’ war on cryptocurrency; implement Schedule F and require federal workers to come back to their offices in person; give TikTok three more months to sell; revoke most of the destructive Biden orders; and restore most of Trump’s first-term executive orders, including on the border and energy independence.
He also announced plans to declare two states of emergency: one on the border and one on energy. Those declarations will further expand the President’s executive powers.
And the best part is: unlike President Cabbage, President Trump will actually know what he’s signing.
Prepare for overwrought stories about out-of-control executive authority. I tried to warn the Democrats that their executive overreaching during the pandemic would boomerang. Now, for better or worse, Democrats lack standing to complain about overreach.
Beyond his executive orders, not retreating at all from his campaign promises —if anything, expanding them— Trump promised to: defeat inflation and provide the lowest-cost energy on Earth, cut taxes, slash prices, raise wages, and return thousands of factories to the U.S. through tariffs. Trump said he’d end the war in Ukraine, stop “chaos” in the Middle East, prevent World War III, crush violent crime in cities, and rebuild the police and the military. He also said he’d rebuild Los Angeles, where he’ll visit on Friday, and help make it more “beautiful” than before.

It's finally here. We thought this day would never come. We fought for it, but we didn't deserve it. Still, we received grace and the new Trump Administration is about to launch like a SpaceX rocket.
