On Joe Biden's first day in office, he got right to work. The press focused on Biden's 17 executive orders, from shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline, to ending border wall construction just as thousands of migrants in a pandemic are surging in. Biden did it for an aim that was clear enough -- to quickly undo the legacy and achievements of President Trump, and enact a sort of Obama restoration of the status quo.
He also did something else that didn't get much press, for far muddier reasons: Mass firings at the Voice of America, a minor government agency that normally merits little attention.
What the hell was that about?
According to the Washington Post's Paul Farhi:
President Biden moved swiftly to oust top managers loyal to former president Donald Trump who had been blamed for recent turmoil at the federal government’s array of international news organizations, including the biggest and most influential one, the Voice of America.
Only hours after he was inaugurated, Biden forced out Michael Pack, the controversial head of the agency that oversees VOA and four other networks that broadcast news to millions of people abroad. This was followed, domino-like, on Thursday by the removal of VOA’s director and deputy director after only a few weeks on the job.In doing so, Biden appears to be putting the brakes on what critics said was an effort by the Trump administration to turn the news agencies into mouthpieces for Trump’s views and policies.

Maybe he should focus on Chinese Radio International
Have to acknowledge that when the Left comes to power, they know how to wield it. There will no Session models in the Biden Administration. The people behind the demented, corrupt Biden figurehead know how to move and execute their plans.
All we can do is keep tally of these things. We can’t stop it, and no one in government will act for us. The GOP is simply the red arm of the deep state.
Perhaps Trump’s patriot party will produce some politicians who actually care about America.
That’s why they win and we lose. They fight and we don’t. It’s a simple formula.
VOA is right wing? it’s more like NPR, but they do carry Rush for 1 lousy hour.
I guess that makes them rabid Trumpers, all things considered...

===============================
Biden's late inaugural night "executive orders." So much detail, so many agencies and institutions targeted....all shot down.
All of it planned months, maybe years, in advance.....meticulously planned in the Swamp as Biden posed as the
"Can't Win Candidate" doing his Doddering Old Fool act, his Flubber Act, his Basement Hideout act, his Loving Family Act, and so on.
All of it intended to throw us off the scent.
Now Joe's made an amazing recovery .... Jill must be one helluva doctor as Whoppi said.
Biden is so cogent, so in command, nary a flub to be heard. For all we know, the unstable Harris might be considering suicide.
I can’t believe the panty twisting about people Biden’s firing. You purge people loyal to the previous leader. The President, Democrat or Republican is going to put their own people in there, anyone who gets the vapors over this is too delicate for politics.
Did joeb put Tokyo Rose
in charge of VOA?
Exactly right.

“The only thing that seems certain is that someone in the leftist camp thought it mighty important to get control of Voice of America on Day One, seemingly as a military-like strategy of seizing communications. Whoever it was behind this couldn’t wait even a day.”
Well, despite the batshit crazy ignorant nutters saying Biden’s senile, the fact is he’s an insider who knows how things work and where the levers of power are and how to use them.
Only a moral and mental fool who deserves to lose EVER underestimates or denigrates their opponent.
The Marxist playbook has never gone out of print.
True, but while Republicans love the status, personal enrichment, and perks, Democrats get off on the power trip and it is so addictive they always over-do it. Wait and see if they don’t.
“... the batshit crazy ignorant nutters saying Biden’s senile, ...”
You’re not paying attention are you, or are you senile as well?
No, batshit crazy ignorant nutters is thinking Slow Joe is in charge of the decision making and anything but an empty shell.
If only Trump had done the same. Instead of massacring Obama holdovers, he left them in and hired backstabbing GOP-E operative Reince Preibus as his COS to destroy his admin from within.
Quite right all.
The "President" is no more than the guy who will sign the documents. It is public knowledge that his team is shot through with active leftists, not all of whom are American citizens.
They have a detailed, well-thought out schedule with the times and events necessary to quickly "fundamentally change and 'remake' America".
Americans, by and large, have only a very small idea of what they face or the effort necessary to avoid the coming changes.
ooops excuse me, meant to also include you in the address.
The biggest failure in the history of the republic was GWB's refusal to oust all of the Sixties Radical Clinton holdovers in 2001. They stayed and metastasized for eight years until Obama came in and finished the job.
