🚨BREAKING NEWS: FBI agents are saying if Kash Patel becomes FBI Director, it would cause "massive damage" to the agency and are threatening to quit the agency
I am betting it's no more like a couple of Dozen at best. Those Agents attached to that special Ops section, Which were used by Obama/Biden for Political Agenda operations.

New: Janet Petro, the President-Trump-appointed acting director of NASA, has sent a message informing all NASA staff that it is shutting down all DEI offices and DEI contracts.
The message says the agency knows government employees are trying to disguise DEI by using new names… pic.twitter.com/phGm8pc3jF
We are currently watching the wokest elements of the left realizing in real time that they are a tiny minority and that most Americans hate them and their ideas.
For a long time they thought they were the dominant force in America, socially and politically.

I would ask these FBI agents threatening to quit whether they threatened to quit when their fellow agents were lying on FISA warrants and spying on the President.

FBI agents threatening to quit are sort of like celebrities threatening to emigrate. An FBI agent beyond retirement age might actually do so. Big deal.

Last time I checked, Philly doesn't have any jurisdiction for actions in DC.
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed...
#3
His charges will have every bit as much legitimacy as the original charges. There in lies the problem. Tarrio pointed out accurately that the judges and juries were just doing a pantomime of a trial. The convictions and max sentences were in the bag from the beginning. It was all improv juris prudence. They fabricated laws ex post facto and immolated the idea of Brady material on the alter of their hate and corruption.

[Breitbart] President Donald Trump’s newly confirmed Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, John Ratcliffe, told Breitbart News exclusively that he views his mission as restoring the world’s most preeminent intelligence agency to its core primary objectives and undoing the lasting damage that one of his predecessors, John Brennan, did to the CIA.
“It would be fair to say his tenure was one of the worst things that has ever happened to the Agency,” Ratcliffe told Breitbart News of Brennan on Thursday in his first interview as CIA director.
Ratcliffe, who served as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in Trump’s first term, was just confirmed Thursday afternoon as Trump’s new director of the CIA and sworn in shortly thereafter. He sat for his interview as CIA director on Thursday with Breitbart News, a broad and wide-ranging conversation that focused on the challenges that face the Intelligence Community (IC) as a whole, the CIA in particular, and how he views his role in terms of helping Trump execute his agenda. Ratcliffe also covered several major world theaters, from China to Russia to the Middle East, in this interview. But his very harsh criticism of Brennan, whose security clearance was just revoked by Trump along with the other 51 intelligence officials who falsely claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was a product of Russian disinformation, is sure to make major news and marks a totally new era being ushered in at the CIA.
“There are challenges within the Intelligence Community and skepticism, I guess,” Ratcliffe told Breitbart News. “It’s because the American people saw examples of that. They saw the FBI misuse intelligence authorities at the FISA courts to spy on the Trump campaign. They saw through my declassification when I was DNI notes that the Intelligence Community knew in the summer of 2016 that Hillary Clinton had funded the Steele Dossier but yet it resulted in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane and the Mueller investigation and the whole Russia collusion hoax. Then in 2020 they saw Brennan, [James] Clapper, and others amplify this lie that Adam Schiff started about Hunter Biden’s laptop being a Russian disinformation operation when everyone related to that did know and understand that there was no intelligence that supported that. Ultimately the FBI and Department of Justice used that laptop at the central piece of evidence in the prosecution of Hunter Biden and his guilty plea.”
Asked if former President Joe Biden pardoning his son, Hunter Biden, weeks before he left office and then doing the same for several of his family members in his final moments as president on Monday confirmed once and for all that the Biden family is corrupt and the critics are correct, Ratcliffe said it did. “Absolutely — it’s verification of that,” Ratcliffe said.
Ratcliffe said he also believes one of his main tasks as CIA director is to get the Agency “back to its core mission” and cut out the political nonsense that Brennan started back during President Barack Obama’s administration.
“So I do think the challenge is one of my focuses has to be not only to get the CIA back to its core mission and the things that it’s supposed to do like being the best foreign intelligence agency and collecting human intelligence and being objective in the analysis of that intelligence and conducting covert action as directed by the president and authorized by the president and only by the president, and then the counterintelligence mission of keeping America’s national security information safe — all of those things will remain the same,” Ratcliffe said. “But restoring the public’s confidence in the Intelligence Community, particularly the CIA, in the ability to do that. I talked about that in the confirmation process and how I would go about that. The number one thing is to move away from the things that have contributed to all of the failures and all of the mistakes and all of the lapses that we just talked about—the politicization of intelligence, and it really started under the tenure of John Brennan.”
Ratcliffe said that Brennan’s well-publicized efforts to “modernize” the CIA actually ended up hurting the agency in retrospect, and he will be spending a lot of time undoing the damage Brennan did to the CIA.
“His so-called ‘modernization’ of the CIA when he was director was in fact a politically motivated, bureaucratically imposed social justice agenda,” Ratcliffe told Breitbart News of Brennan. “The immediate impact of that and effect of that was that from that point forward every metric of success was that the CIA performed less well. The agency collected less intelligence, it was lower quality intelligence, and it was increasingly politicized in the analysis of that intelligence. That carried on throughout his tenure and then even after his tenure as we just talked about the timing of the letter of the 51 spies who lied was really the capstone of a career of politicizing intelligence. President Trump wants that to stop. He wants me to return the CIA to a meritocracy that produces better intelligence and addresses the kind of intelligence failures we talked about and things we’ve seen recently like with regard to Afghanistan, the assessments in Ukraine, the failure to see the October 7 Hamas talks, and now just a few weeks ago the fall of Syria. All of those things are because we haven’t done what we’re supposed to be doing to inform policymakers to make good decisions. Good decisions are hostage to good information and good intelligence and we’ve got to get back to that, so that’s the mandate from President Trump. As you know, my priorities will be his priorities. He makes the policy and I provide, as his CIA director, good intelligence to make that policy whatever it is. He needs good intelligence to end the war in Ukraine. He needs good intelligence to counter China’s moves in the Taiwan Strait or to hold them accountable with regard to COVID. He needs good intelligence to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and from their ability to fund terrorism throughout the Middle East. That’s what it’s all about and I’m excited about the opportunity to do it and I’m confident that we’ll do exactly that.”
Asked to further flesh out what went wrong with Obama’s CIA Director, Ratcliffe said that his well-documented radicalism—Brennan proudly acknowledged once voting for the Communist Party candidate for president—combined his devotion to radical social justice insanity rather than meritocracy severely hurt the Agency’s reputation in the long term. Ratcliffe said that he and Trump have discussed how to fix that, and undo that damage and return the CIA to a meritocracy where regardless of somebody’s background their qualifications and accomplishments determine their success.
“You start with someone whose political history involved voting for a member of the Communist Party,” Ratcliffe said. “So many people were surprised that President Obama chose him to be director in the first place, but we just walked through how what the CIA and the Intelligence Community should do is to be completely apolitical and to not let politics infect intelligence products. That’s where mistakes happen, that’s where lapses in judgment happen, and that’s where Americans lose their lives. So we just talked about how, when you move away from that and you move toward a social justice agenda where people move up because they check certain boxes, that’s something that we’re demonstrating isn’t going to be tolerated. So, the ending of DEI across all federal offices included the Central Intelligence Agency. I say this, under President Trump and under me at the CIA, someone’s race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation and preference shouldn’t inhibit anyone’s success but nor should it be an entitlement to success or advancement. In many cases, that is what happened and what has happened so we’re going back to a true meritocracy where everyone in the federal government can go as high and as far as their abilities can carry them and that’s what should be the metrics of success.”
Much more, including in-depth discussion about China and Artificial Intelligence, from Ratcliffe’s first interview as CIA director is forthcoming soon.

Biden destroyed executive privilege for the outgoing administration in his effort to screw Trump in Georgia. Biden gave a smattering of pardons to folks that can no longer plead the 5th. We have an environment where we can find out a lot of things about what went on. Because DC judges are corrupt and the jury pool there is a sewage tank, we do not have an environment for accountability.

#6 maybe because people can't think outside the box. Nothing requires Congressional hearings to be conducted in DC. Then the legal process can proceed in the district the offense occurred in.

Unfortunately, most of the population centers of most states would yield similar results. Farming cases out to the hinterlands in hopes of finding a hanging jury isn’t really justice. There would also be a problem away from DC with regards any classified info. The most viable solution is probably the military tribunals that the Q folks are expecting. If that becomes the solution, waiting long enough for the pup mask dude to be cashiered out of service would be advisable.

[NYPOST] Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s Democratic Gov. Gavin Governor Hair Gel Newsom ...mayor of San Franciscoas it transformed itself into Poopville, currently governor of Californiaas it transforms itself into Cinderland... plans on crashing President Trump's arrival in the Golden State when the commander-in-chief lands in Los Angeles Friday, according to reports.
The 78-year-old president will tour the decimated areas of fire-ravaged Southern California — where wildfires killed at least 28 people — in one of his first presidential acts outside Washington, DC.
Although not publicly invited by Trump, Newsom said he will be at the airport with the red carpet to welcome the newly sworn-in president.

[PAGESIX] An aide to New York City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams apparently wasn't too happy their email was inadvertently exposed to a bunch of Trump supporters after a faux pas by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's office.
On Friday, President Trump announced the inauguration would be held indoors, creating a last-minute venue shakeup.
That's when Schumer's office got an email out to his inauguration list, advising attendees that since the event was to be moved, their invites could not be used to access the new indoor venue. But the tickets could make nice souvenirs should they still want to pick them up in person at the Hart Senate Office Building or have them mailed.
However, the email from Schumer's office to the hundreds of guests on his ticket list might've been sent out a bit too fast — and the aide who fired off the message apparently did not use the ''BCC'' (blind carbon copy) option, showing everyone's email on the list.

[GEO.TV] A federal judge in Seattle has blocked President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election. Then he beat Kamala while dodging bullets... 's administration from enforcing an executive order aimed at restricting automatic birthright citizenship, calling the move "blatantly unconstitutional."
US District Judge John Coughenour, at the urging of four Democratic-led states, issued a temporary restraining order preventing the administration from enforcing the order, which the Republican president signed on Monday during his first day in office.
"This is a blatantly unconstitutional order," the judge told a lawyer with the US Justice Department defending Trump's order.
The order has already become the subject of five lawsuits by civil rights groups and Democratic attorneys general from 22 states, who call it a flagrant violation of the US Constitution.
"Under this order, babies being born today don't count as US citizens," Washington Assistant Attorney General Lane Polozola told Senior US District Judge John Coughenour at the start of a hearing in Seattle.
Polozola — on behalf of Democratic state attorneys general from Washington state, Arizona, Illinois and Oregon — urged the judge to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent the administration from carrying out this key element of Trump's immigration crackdown.
The challengers argue that Trump's action violates the right enshrined in the citizenship clause of the Constitution's 14th Amendment that provides that anyone born in the United States is a citizen.

It is a stand practice here in the USA that persons cannot benefit or be rewarded for their crimes, or illegal activities.
So, granting citizenship to a person flying in on a VISA, or illegally crossing the border, timed to have a baby on US Soil. In order to then claim the reward of extended taxpayer paid stay, or citizenship, does not follow that well established legal rule.
#2
Which crime did the baby commit?
If you want to change ius solis, do it correctly, not by disregarding the 14th Amendment.
One of my daughters is a U.S. citizen because she was born in the United States. I know that at the monent the Executive Order only covers future births, but what would stop Trump from changing that?

No they are not. But that's not the issue. You have ius soli, we have not. If you want to change that, fine. But you can't render the 14th Amendment meaningless with an Executive Order, just like you can't take away gun rights guaranteed by the Second with an Executive Order.

The founders were clear on the 2d Amendment. The writers of the 14th were concerned about the rights of recently freed slave and their children.
#6
The wording of the 2nd is far from clear. That's why there have been so many rulings and debates on it. (Note that I'm in favor of the right to bear and carry arms)
The wording of the 14th Amendment is crystal clear. That's why it hasn't been revisited for over a 100 years.
It took a Reagan appointed judge 5 minutes to see it.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."
Are you seriously claiming that the U.S.doesn't have jurisdiction over a newborn child born in the U.S.? The only exception are diplomats and their families as stipulated in Article 37 of the Vienna Convention.
1.The members of the family of a diplomatic agent forming part of his household shall, if they are
not nationals of the receiving State, enjoy the privileges and immunities specified in articles 29 to 36.

Citizenship for babies of people here in a .....LEGAL STATUS !!!!
#8
I can't find "legal status" of parents in the amendment. Which may very well be because when it was drafted, "illegal" immigration didn't exist.
It's absurd to assume that the U.S. has no jurisdiction over undocumented immigrants on U.S. soil. These people have to follow the laws, pay taxes and go to jail like anyone else.
And actually, the Amendment doesn't refer to the status of parents, but of the child.

It's absurd to assume that the U.S. has no jurisdiction over undocumented immigrants on U.S. soil.
It is equally absurd to assume that sneaking over the border confers the rights, privileges and responsibilities of citizenship. While we expect them to obey the law, but we do not let everyone vote, for example.
As for the phrase "undocumented immigrant", that is Newspeak for illegal alien - someone who has committed a crime by entering the country without authorization. Time for a Confucian (or Trumpian) Rectification of Names!
I am not a lawyer, but I can see this coming down to what the meaning of "is" is, in reference to "under the jurisdiction of". While we expect them to obey no parking signs and other local laws, it seems to me that these visitors are still citizens of their home countries and are under the jurisdiction whatever government might exist there.
As others have noted, the Amendment in question was written to address a specific post-Civil War issue. I doubt the Founding Fathers meant it to cover a woman giving birth in the lounge at LAX while on layover during a trans-continental flight Beijing to London.

"While we expect them to obey no parking signs and other local laws, it seems to me that these visitors are still citizens of their home countries and are under the jurisdiction whatever government might exist there."
The amendment doesn't say "exclusive" U.S. jurisdiction, and you can't write words into the text which aren't there. And the debates leading to the 14th amendment don't support that view either. It was clearly understood what "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" meant. The framers wouldn't have needed to exclude diplomats and their families, if ALL aliens present on U.S. soil were "not subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States (which diplomats and their babies are not, and this was discussed in detail).
The framers couldn't think of undocumented aliens (or aliens with an illegal status, if you prefer), because this category didn't exist at the time. What the framers would have thought had they known of such a category is pure speculation. The fact is, you can always change an amendment if it needs to be adapted to modern reality. But you can't read things into it that simply weren't there at the time the amendment was ratified.

It was originally written to grant citizenship to the children of freed slaves. Women weren't coming here for the sole purpose of having a baby in order to get to stay but the way it was written doesn't deny children born here of non-citizens citizenship. I don't like it but that's what it is.

This entire string of great rants is proof why he did this and what we should expect to happen. The 14th is not clear for today. Congress would take 100 years to even debate it. Trump doing what he did insures it goes to the supreme court. Once the court clarifies the illegals having babies here and the baby tours of places like China we will have clarity. The gaslighting by Trump haters and activists do noting toward getting to the truth. Lets hope this gets to the supreme court soon.

I don't need to hear emotional appeals about babies not being able to commit crimes. Their parents did and we can't keep letting them get away with it.
But it's too early to get all in a huff about this. The case will go to SCOTUS and it's about damn time SCOTUS reviewed the Fourteenth Amendment. Let's wait to hear what they have to say about it. The authors of the Fourteenth might never have imagined illegal aliens having babies in this country so it might have to be tweaked. If we need another Constitutional amendment, or an amendment to an existing amendment, then we have a procedure for that and we will just have to follow the procedure.

The EO will probably get struck down at the Supreme Court level. As of today, 32 of 50 states voted for Trump. That is less than 2/3. If Sarah Adams is correct and we have bunch of terror cells in CONUS ready for a simultaneous attack, we will soon have enough political will to change the Constitution. Alternatively, the war with the drug cartels will be enough.

I wonder if those who are paying taxes had the amount of tax which goes towards illegals - housing, food, clothing, education, etc - would take that money and donate it to a charity which handles such things, or spend it on their own children and/or immediate needs?
It's absolutely clear. It's prefaced by Art. 1 Section 8, that Congress shall...organize and regulate the militia. In their first year they passed two Militia Acts [which is now incorporated in Title 10 USC], defining who was the militia and how the militia should arm itself [the same as a soldier in the US Army of the time] . Everything else beyond that is 'squirrel' by anyone trying to limit it.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] NASA has ended its diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEI) programs after all federal agencies were directed to 'terminate' the initiatives.
Staff received an email Wednesday from acting administrator Janet Petro, which said the space agency is 'taking steps to close all agency DEIA offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump's executive orders.'
The order is titled 'Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.'
NASA's email admitted that 'these programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.'
The space agency has spent at least $22.4 million annually on such programs.
DailyMail.com had uncovered millions of taxpayer dollars were dished out for DEI data analytics and to help the agency 'embark on a venture to incorporate and deeply engrain diversity, inclusion, equity and accessibility in the culture and business.'
Petro, who is the first woman to lead NASA as its acting administrator, also urged staff to report colleagues who have attempted to disguise DEI programs with coded language.
'There will be no adverse consequences for timely reporting this information,' the email reads. 'However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... failure to report this information within 10 days may result in adverse consequences.'

These are lies. On paper, DEI has been dropped. But govt contractors and people working govt contracts havent ended a thing. Like how a chameleon changes colors, commies change their labels, these diversity racists will just change their name. Diversity Equity Officers will drop the I from their former DEI title. Not one diversity hire or diversity staff will be fired.
A lot more work needs to be done to eradicate the DEI Racism. The too big to fail banks and the big financial service companies, like PwC, need a lot of focus and sunlight to remove the systemic racism that is found in the organizations.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Haitian man with a lengthy criminal record shouted 'F**k Trump, Biden forever!' as he was arrested by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement during a deportation raid.
The Trump administration has started rounding up violent undocumented immigrants in sanctuary cities all over the country, including the alleged leader of a Haitian gang and murder and rape suspects in Boston.
The agitated Haitian migrant, who wasn't named but who has 17 recent convictions, said he 'ain't going back to Haiti' as he was placed in a police car. Fox News accompanied ICE during the roundups and shared footage of the arrests.
'Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!' the migrant added.
ICE officers in Boston said they also arrested multiple MS-13 gang members in the Boston raids.
'Today was a good day. Today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities,' Patricia Hyde, ICE Boston Acting Director, told Fox News.
'Unfortunately, a lot were released by sanctuary policies. But we’re here to tell the Commonwealth and the rest of the country that we're going to find them, whether they’re released or not.'
During the roundups, ICE made one collateral arrest of an undocumented migrant.
Border czar Tom Homan had warned that collateral arrests would be a part of the ICE roundups after President Trump ordered mass deportations.
'When we find the bad guy, there’s probably others. Others that are in the United States illegally. They may not be a criminal priority but we’re not walking away from them,' he said.
VP JD Vance reacted to the Haitian migrant's outburst, writing on X: 'An illegal alien with 17 criminal convictions really hates President Trump for sending him back to Haiti.
'He's grateful to Biden for letting him come here. I'm glad we're deporting him. Do you agree or would you like him as your neighbor?'
The Boston ICE raids come as Denver, a Democrat-run sanctuary city, announced it will cooperate with the Trump administration's plans for undocumented immigrants.
Changing his mind is a wise decision, under the circumstances.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said the city will cooperate with ICE agents in the cases of violent criminals.
'The whole state is bound by our state law in this, which is pretty consistent in some of these practices like everywhere in the state, we don’t honor ICE detainers,' Johnston told FOX31.
'If ICE calls and says, ‘Will you hold someone for three more days?’ That doesn’t happen in Douglas County or Yuma or in Denver. A lot of these practices are similar statewide, but we think ours finds a common-sense balance of making sure we’re not having our local police doing federal law enforcement, that’s not our job, we’re not going to do ICE’s job for them.
'But if they call for information on folks we have in custody, we’ll let them know when we’re releasing them.'
Federal immigration agents started rounding up undocumented immigrants in the Denver area, following through on a campaign promise by the Trump Administration to deport migrants who have broken the law, DailyMail.com exclusively revealed.
Arrests began on Monday, when President Trump took the oath of office, and have spread throughout the state.
ICE in the Rocky Mountain State has been detaining migrants with pending criminals cases, police sources confirmed.
'ICE agents are doing their job-- the job they should have been doing for the last four years,' former Colorado Immigration Enforcement director John Fabbricatore told DailyMail.com.
'This is an all-hands-on-deck situation where they are using all the agents they have at their disposal.'
Trump's border czar Tom Homan confirmed Tuesday afternoon that deportations are happening but didn't give any details about where they were happening.
'These cases were already in the hopper. They've done the surveillance on them, they have good case notes, and they're just hitting those cases that they were not allowed to hit prior,' the former ICE director added.
Fabbricatore explained the Biden Administration had handcuffed agents from making arrests like this.
'There were these priorities that were put out that limited you, like you couldn't go after DUIs. You couldn't go after a basic drug possession. The Biden Administration made these priorities that kept you from going after criminals,' he shared.
Non-criminal migrants who have a final order from a judge to leave the country are also being picked up, although at least 85 percent of those being sought have criminal records.
'Potentially, that person may not be a criminal but they still have gone through the immigration process, seen an immigration judge and refused to leave,' Fabbricatore stated.
Law enforcement cautioned that these are not raids, meaning they aren't fishing for any person who might be in the US illegally.
Instead, they're calling this 'targeted enforcement' meaning agents have already done homework on who these people are and why they are being detained.
They also explained similar arrests are happening across the country, but they don't look like the raids everyone expected.
