Acting DNI Bill Pulte is preparing to fire a "large number" of Deep State Intel Community members.
According to The Wall Street Journal, President Trump has urged Bill Pulte to "start the process" of firing intel officials.
President Trump said he wants to reduce the size of the federal intel agencies.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
President Trump said he wants Bill Pulte, his incoming acting director of national intelligence, to begin the process of firing a large number of employees as part of a shake-up of the U.S. intelligence community.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Friday, Trump said he has privately told Pulte that he believes the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, which oversees 18 federal intelligence agencies and units, is “unnecessary and/or too big.”
“I’d like to see it smaller. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn’t be there,” Trump said, pointing to holdovers from the Biden and Obama administrations. Asked whether he is calling on Pulte to fire people, Trump said he wants him to “start the process,” adding that his eventual nominee to serve in the role permanently should continue that work.
Trump stunned many of his own advisers when he said earlier this week that he was appointing Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as his intelligence chief. The move was met with skepticism from some Republicans on Capitol Hill, who raised concerns about Pulte’s lack of national-security experience.
President Trump this week announced he appointed Pulte to serve as the Acting Director of National Intelligence.
Bill Pulte is currently the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and the chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
That was in fact a diabolically clever move on Bam-Bam’s part. It’s hideously difficult to fire civil servants.
“How does a house builder know what to keep and what to get rid of?
Would you prefer John Brennan? He knows intimately each ideological plant.
I certainly liked Gabbard and she did a good job but she had no intelligence background.
There are some good patriots out there who are experienced.
The concern is is we don’t end up fixing anything because an outsider doesn’t know what to look for.
“The concern is is we don’t end up fixing anything because an outsider doesn’t know what to look for.”
What makes you think he will not have aides and advisors. Trump has aides and advisors.
He will certainly have aides to give guidance .
But think if a person was needed to redesign a nuclear power plant.
One person is good at running a bank.
The other person has worked in the nuclear power design.
Who would be the best choice ?
?
But the lack of an intelligence background is no problem with Pulte?
Yes thanks. That's the part I skimmed over. I'll read more slowly next time.
Have a good day.
“But think if a person was needed to redesign a nuclear power plant.

You can’t even cook up an apple/orange example.
Intel Community people do not have any technical expertise.
This is being spun as ‘getting rid of the Deep State.’
What it really is - - is the global Deep State functioning the way it’s supposed to. .
Everything this country does, everything - - is about the new global order, Agenda 2030.
While everyone wants to believe they will get rid of dead weight, Democrats and socialists, guaranteed there will be America-loving patriots swept up in the operation, because loyalty to country, especially a country that hangs its hat on freedom - - will not be popular in the New Age.
These actions will amount to a reset of the U.S. Intelligence - a rebuild, so that it will be compatible with, and work in conjunction with - an overarching global intelligence scheme.
They have to tear down the old system in order to build the new one. That’s all this is - dressed up as something else.
The world is moving away from freedom, liberty, self-government and self-determination. If this hasn’t been obvious then people aren’t paying attention.
Agenda 2030 is not optional. Countries will either acquiesce - or be buried.
“ Intel Community people do not have any technical expertise.”
They have very specialized knowledge in many areas. And technical expertise.
An outsider would not know what to even be looking at.
“They have very specialized knowledge in many areas. And technical expertise.”
Are you referring to those fifty intellegience experts, who, based on their technical expertise, swore the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation?
“Round up EVERYONE involved in the destruction and sabotage of the Emigre Program. Fire their asses. And the government lawyers that were involved.”
One of the most effective weapons the rats have used over the last year is DOGE. The DOGE group was used to determine the possible waste of money or staff to do things that either didn’t need to be or should be changed for efficiency. And a lot of it was that old common sense.
Misnomers, (lies), about the program were interjected by the rats to discredit it to tarnish Trumps efforts to protect the American citizens and try to steal points for the next election as none of their assertions concerning the DOGE findings were factual and/or proven a false determination. To start, their main point of contention with the board was that it was run by a non-elected individual who was firing people. That was an out and out lie as the inspection group had no power in the decision to discharge anyone as that was left up to the executive branch of the government. All they did was provide information and were treated by the government as a government contractor to accomplish a pre-determined task.
That was broken down into three areas:
Advisory Status: Leaders like Elon Musk served as Special Government Employees (SGEs), an official assignment classification that limited their tenure to 130 days.
Agency-Specific Deployment: Federal agencies were required to establish dedicated “DOGE Teams,” typically consisting of a team lead, engineer, HR specialist, and attorney to implement the DOGE agenda.
IT and Procurement Focus: Contractually and legally, DOGE’s operational directive was to modernize federal software, freeze and review covered contracts/grants, promote artificial intelligence, and support workforce attrition.
Temporary Lifespan: The assigned service operated as a temporary organization that legally terminated on July 4, 2026.
No where within these contractual assignments did it say to implement any type of HR actions or changing the operation other than recommendation.
There have been many lies and spin efforts to discredit Trump through the DOGE efforts. DOGE was a wonderful program and probably could have been even better if it was allowed to continue but it was only offered 130 days to complete a job that should have been on going as the current system of checks and balance is proving inefficient at best if not criminal. Medicare and medicaid funding is a perfect example in Minnesota and healthcare in many states with their paperwork and lies is also a major problem. Millions of dollars could have been saved and applied to other areas more needy.
Government efficiency efforts have saved an estimated $215 billion, equivalent to $1,335 per U.S. taxpayer.

I think we all agreed there things to clean up. But there are thousands of loyal patriots working for the three letter agencies
Think about the amazing Venezuela operation .
That happened successfully because people with deep and technical experience provided the guidance for our military .
A guy who builds houses wouldn’t have any clue how to do that.
He’s there to do RIFFs. The actual running of the place will be left to his deputy. Trump trusts him to do the job he was put there to do. Not get distracted by PR and get seduced into developing an independent political power base around himself.
“A guy who builds houses wouldn’t have any clue how to do that.”
You must really think that is an effective jab. Only trouble is, he has NEVER been in the business of building houses. You just pulled it out of your ass.
You are right. His dad built houses, this guy just inherited money.
so less qualified.
Google “fisa wall that lead to 911”.
That was the incompetent people that Clinton had in intelligence, and lead to 911 happening.
That’s the danger we need to avoid.
