Less than a fortnight in office, President Donald Trump has quickly targeted federal employees in his attempt to remake the government in his own image, using the politics of revenge. Newly re-inaugurated for a second term, his roiling actions have generated workplace fear, confusion and anger — never good traits for any organization. The breathtaking scope and sudden implementation of his moves, some with dubious legality, stunned workers and citizens alike, as Trump tries to significantly and controversially expand the powers of the presidency. “I’m mad,” said Jeremy Wood, a Department of Agriculture (USDA) employee based in Raleigh, North Carolina,...

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that he was concerned President-elect Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi will conduct a campaign of retribution against his political enemies. Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “Let’s zero in on the hearing for attorney general nominee Pam Bondi, in particular, much has been made of Donald Trump’s wish for the department of justice to carry out a campaign of retribution against his political foes and the like. What sort of questions do you want to pose to her about that particular topic? How grave of a concern is it?”

Donald Trump promised he's 'not looking for retribution' when he enters the White House in January despite vowing to throw his enemies in jail on the campaign trail. Despite the assurance, however, Trump pointed out he 'obviously' has the 'upper hand' and declared that he would draw the line after a certain amount of betrayal. 'I am not looking for retribution, grandstanding or to destroy people who treated me very unfairly, or even badly beyond comprehension,' he told Fox News Digital. 'I am always looking to give a second and even third chance, but never willing to give a fourth...

The FBI seized Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan’s phone and electronics early Wednesday morning — just a week after the election-betting platform successfully predicted President-elect Donald Trump’s win, The Post has learned. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was woken up at 6:00 a.m. in his Soho home by law US enforcement officers who demanded his phone and electronics, a source close to the matter told The Post. It’s “grand political theater at its worst,” the source told The Post. “They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the...

Mark speaks with Fox News host and author Pete Hegseth about his experience being targeted politically and having military orders revoked, as well as his new book The War on Warriors: Behind the Betrayal of the Men Who Keep Us Free.

Article III Project founder Mike Davis talked to Real America's Voice host Steve Bannon about government weaponization and the need to ensure it never happens again at the Department of Justice. STEVE BANNON, HOST: And Mike, here's where I want to start. I don't think we even have any clips because the mainstream media does not want to report this at all. And that is not about your controversy between you and the Attorney General of New York. We'll get to that maybe towards the end. Jim Jordan today sent Jack Smith a preserve your documents letter in fact of...

The IRS portrayed the ultimatum as part of a diversity program for “development of future leaders” but Gary Shapley's lawyer alleges it is retaliation. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, whose testimony to Congress changed the course of the Biden family corruption case and resulted in Hunter Biden’s felony convictions, has been given an ultimatum from his agency: accept a forced transfer, a demotion or leave the agency, according to correspondence reviewed by Just the News. In a letter dated Oct. 15, Shapley was given three options for his future at the IRS: leave his post as a supervisory special agent in...

The Justice Department on Friday announced it is suing the state of Virginia for removing non-citizens from its voter rolls.“The Justice Department announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against the State of Virginia, Virginia State Board of Elections and Virginia Commissioner of Elections to challenge a systematic state program aimed at removing voters from its election rolls too close to the Nov. 5 general election in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA),” the DOJ announced.

Does the indictment of Eric Adams represent a bona fide prosecution of a dishonest politician, or is it mainly retribution against a political opponent by a deeply corrupt DOJ and FBI? As several commenters on yesterday’s post noted, we have come to a very sad point when our first thought upon an indictment of a politician is that it may well represent the deep state using its powers to take out a political opponent. But after four years of the deeply politicized Biden-Harris-Garland Justice Department, that’s where we are. And it is entirely appropriate for the citizenry to evaluate the...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said former President Trump should be taken seriously when he pledges to go after his political enemies if elected to another term in office. “I think he has shown by his prior actions that you can take him at his word,” Romney told The Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins in an interview published Tuesday. “So, I would take him at his word,” he added. The remarks followed a conversation in which, according to Coppins, it became clear Romney had spent some time thinking about Trump’s threats to direct the Department of Justice (DOJ) to go after...

Democrats are worried when Trump is elected he will begin a campaign of retribution against them for all of their dastardly deeds: sham trials, Justice Department attacks, bogus impeachments, January 6 sham committee, and on and on and on. This serves as firm proof that Democrats are aware of their partisan follies, many unlawful, and that they could be held liable for their actions. Wake up America! Their worries come from their guilt. Proves that no party is as dirty, mean, and deceitful as the Democrat party.

Donald Trump wants to talk about revenge, and neither Sean Hannity nor Dr. Phil can stop him. Both have tried. Fresh off his historic guilty verdict in New York, Trump’s public comments, including in interviews with both men, have increasingly focused on the idea of “retribution” against his enemies if he returns to the White House. It’s rhetoric driven by Trump’s obsession that President Joe Biden and Democrats orchestrated a series of legal problems intended to derail his presidential campaign — a political persecution theory not supported by the facts. On May 30, a New York jury unanimously found Trump...

CNN analyst and former FBI chief Andrew McCabe said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people in the intelligence and law enforcement community were worried if former President Donald Trump is elected again, they would be “thrown in jail or grabbed in some sort of extra judicial detention.”

The president of the Heritage Foundation confronted hosts at the World Economic Forum Thursday in Davos, Switzerland, challenging claims that the WEF is protecting democracy and calling so-called elites "part of the problem." (snip) The moderator, British international affairs expert Sir Robin Niblett, at one point asked Roberts about former President Trump's promise of "retribution" if he regains office, and that the World Economic Forum's purported defenses of liberal democracy could be "swept under the rug" by the mogul. (snip) "I'll be candid here, because I think I've been invited here to be candid: The kind of person who will...

Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing....

Call these bozos and tell them to get a haircut and a real job.

I think there's a bit of confusion over the meaning of the First Amendment. Twitter has every right to decide who uses its platform. So does Facebook. And Google. Whoever pays the mortgage gets to decide the rules. I own a broadcast media company that includes a news-talk radio station and two prominent websites. And just like Twitter and Facebook, I get to decide who has a voice on my platforms. Unlike Big Tech, I actually cherish free speech. I believe in spirited debate. And I believe in the free exchange of ideas. That's why this rock-solid constitutionalist conservative...
