WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 56 senior officials in the top U.S. aid and development agency were placed on leave Monday amid an investigation into an alleged effort to thwart President Donald Trump’s orders.

A current official and a former official at the U.S. Agency for International Development confirmed the reason given for the move Monday. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Several hundred contractors based in Washington and elsewhere also were laid off, the officials said.

Mark Milley: pardons and mutiny

While it’s true pardoned members of Joe Biden’s crime family can be interviewed by the FBI, and lying to an agent is a crime, they don’t have to speak with federal agents. It’s equally true they can be subpoenaed by Congress and may be prosecuted for perjury, but I’m quite sure that like James Comey, Christopher Wray and a variety of other swamp dwellers, they’ll suddenly develop very bad memories. It’s equally likely Former General Mark Milley, also pardoned by Biden’s handlers, will suffer memory loss.

The Media HIDE Trump’s Stripping the Security Clearances of ‘The Dirty 51’

The returning Resistance Media have begun to report on the Trump Administration very much the same way they reported on the previous Trump Administration: with glaring omissions in service of a narrative. In this case, half-reporting on the initial executive orders signed by President Donald Trump.

Trump revokes security clearances of 51 intel officials who signed discredited Hunter Biden laptop letter

President Donald Trump pulled the security clearances of more than 50 national security officials who said Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

A total of 51 former national security officials released a public letter in 2020 claiming that even though the laptop did not have “any evidence of Russian involvement,” it looked like a “Russian information operation.”

The letter came after the New York Post reported they had emails showing Hunter Biden coordinated for Joe Biden to meet with a top executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma months before pressuring Ukrainian officials to oust a prosecutor investigating the company.

‘It’s Crazy’: Federalist CEO Torches FBI Cover-Up Of First Trump Assassination Attempt

Federalist CEO Sean Davis blasted the FBI for stonewalling Congress’s investigation into the first assassination attempt against President-elect Donald Trump.

The moment came during a Friday interview, in which Davis was asked by conservative commentator Tucker Carlson what information is publicly available about Thomas Crooks, the would-be assassin who tried to kill Trump at a July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The 20-year-old was killed by law enforcement shortly after the attempt on the incoming president’s life and information about his activities leading up to the shooting has remained scarce.

The Fed goes ‘proactively hostile’ against Trump

The swamp is deep and it clearly includes the supposedly independent Federal Reserve which sets interest rates. The bank was lowering interest rates in 2024, but now they are talking about slowing down cuts because of a theoretical increase in inflation that they think will be caused by Trump’s tariffs …

The Federal Reserve is a mystery to me, this sheds a bit of light on it …

How Can the Federal Reserve Pay Dividends to Its Shareholders When It Has No Profits?

Although the Federal Reserve is — and thinks of itself as — part of the government, 100 percent of the $37 billion in paid-in stock of its twelve component Federal Reserve Banks is owned by private shareholders. This was part of the political compromise of the original 1913 Federal Reserve Act.

The shareholders are the commercial banks that are the members of the respective Federal Reserve Banks. Remarkably, these private shareholders are getting dividends from the Reserve Banks even when the combined Fed has no profits, no saved up past profits (retained earnings), and hugely negative actual capital. Any private bank which tried to pay dividends under these circumstances would be sternly prohibited by the Fed from doing so.

The ‘Havana Syndrome’ Coverup Exposed

An interagency fight appears to be brewing within the outgoing Biden administration over the origins of so-called “Havana Syndrome.”

In advance of an intelligence assessment slated for release today, the Miami Herald revealed the details of a November 18 meeting in the White House Situation Room in which National Security Officials confessed that the conclusions about the phenomenon U.S. intelligence officials arrived at in 2023 “were no longer valid.” That assessment asserted that it was “very unlikely” that the hundreds of U.S. governmental personnel who exhibited symptoms associated with the affliction suffered as a result of a clandestine operation conducted by a hostile foreign power. The victims’ symptoms — which include nausea, headaches, memory loss, tinnitus, and dizziness, often after “hearing a noise coming from a particular direction” — were attributed to their individual preexisting medical and psychological conditions.

After the USS Gettysburg Misfire, Can We Talk About TWA 800?

On Sunday, December 22, a US Navy guided-missile cruiser, the USS Gettysburg, mistakenly shot down an American fighter jet over the Red Sea. This was not the first incident of friendly fire by the U.S. Navy, nor the most tragic.

On Sunday morning, July 3, 1988, at the tail end of the Iran-Iraq War, an Aegis cruiser in the Persian Gulf, the USS Vincennes, fired two Standard Missiles at a commercial Iranian Airbus, IR 655. Captain Will Rogers III and his crew had mistaken the ascending passenger jet with 290 people on board for a descending Iranian F-14, a fighter plane.

The Deafening Silence Over the J6 Pipe Bombs

The silence over the Jan. 6, 2021, pipe bomb incident is deafening. The radio silence on what we’ve been assured are “viable” pipe bombs planted outside the DNC and near the RNC on J6 continued in the Inspector General’s report when he offered only a few treacly paragraphs on the issue. Keeping the pipe bomb issue on the DL raises the spidey senses of those who believe that the pipe bomb incidents, far from being a J6 sideshow, were a planned diversion by — who, exactly? — to stop the Electoral College counting when Republican senators were to be offering proof of shady ballot counting and calling for an audit of the 2020 election.

The Establishment’s Scandal Scam Tactics Won’t Work Anymore

The regime media is circling around Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump’s other outsider appointees to do the bidding of the establishment to make sure the status quo stays safely undisrupted. But this is a new game, and they are running the old playbook. With Hegseth, it’s alleging a sex scandal that’s no scandal at all. They do it by selectively quoting from a police report that led to zero charges and by ignoring the myriad facts within that would cause most fair-minded individuals to conclude this was a hookup instantly regretted by a horny wife whose husband and kids were just a few hotel rooms away. The regime media reports, of course, exclude the many exonerating details that recovering lawyer Megyn Kelly in particular has gone over in-depth and which totally exonerate the nominee. They don’t care about the truth; they want to frame him to stop him. But you know what? This kind of smear does not matter anymore to anyone who matters.

Donald Trump Is About to Go Nuclear on the FBI

President-elect Donald J. Trump is gearing up to go nuclear on the FBI and Justice Department, and who can blame him? After years of relentless targeting, capped off with a federal raid on his home in a blatant attempt to torpedo his 2024 campaign, Trump emerged victorious. Now it’s his turn to strike back.

FBI.Gov.Con

President Trump has chosen Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and to head the CIA Trump wants John Ratcliffe, a man highly qualified in light of recent events. As Trump’s DNI in 2020, Ratcliffe looked into intelligence community involvement in “Crossfire Hurricane” one of several FBI operations against candidate and President Trump and his picks for key posts in his administration such as Gen. Michael Flynn.

Trump’s Team Sets Sights on New FBI Leadership

Donald Trump’s transition team is ramping up plans to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray before the end of his 10-year-term, the start of what the president-elect hopes will be a major shake-up of the agency that has been his perennial punching bag.

Vice President-elect JD Vance on Tuesday tucked an announcement of the search at the end of a social-media post that began with him referring to someone as a “mouth breathing imbecile.”

Vance said he had recently met with Trump to interview people to be the bureau’s director, in the search for a candidate who would “dismantle the deep state.” He later deleted the post.

Now is the right time in our country’s history to release the JFK files

On these pages and elsewhere, writers have offered compelling evidence of another shooter and possible U.S. intelligence community involvement in JFK’s assassination, while other writers have rejected this narrative because too many people would have had to know and someone in the know would have spilled the beans.

I don’t know enough to comment on the former, but I do have thoughts on the latter.
