Much to the chagrin of the media, Bruce Swartz, “globally renowned for representing the Justice Department in some of its most sensitive foreign dealings,” resigned rather than accept a demotion by President Trump. For 30 years, “careerist” Bruce Swartz quietly worked to advance Democratic interests on one hot button case after another, but if Special Presidential Envoy Ric Grenell has his way, Swartz will be prosecuted for intrigue few even know about. “Bruce Schwartz (sic) undermined Donald Trump and US foreign policy while he worked at DoJ,” Grenell tweeted on March 15. “I told him private information about negotiations (he...

Richard Grenell, who serves as President Trump's envoy for special missions, announced on Thursday that Venezuela will be accepting deportation flights from the United States on a regular basis.

O'Reilly then went on to predict that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would be "next" on the list of officials being sued. “The big power is Newsom in California. Newsom’s next. Hey, Gavin, they’re coming for you!” O’Reilly said. That appears a completely logical conclusion based on the DOJ's actions so far and Newsom's recalcitrance on the issue of illegal immigration in his state. O'Reilly also predicted that in all this, "Pritzker is going to get destroyed" and Trump would "bring down" James and Bragg.

Over a matter of days, the President dismissed Kennedy Center board members appointed by Joe Biden to six-year terms, named himself the chairman of the governing body, and installed a loyalist, Richard Grenell, as its interim leader. On Wednesday, his total takeover of that institution seemed complete: a board entirely of Trump appointees unanimously made him the chairman, empowered, in effect, to police the artistic choices being made on the de facto national stage. “We will make The Kennedy Center a very special and exciting place!” Trump posted on his social media platform. The impact of this MAGA takeover of...

A former Green Beret has taken responsibility for what he claimed was a failed attack Sunday aimed at overthrowing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and that the socialist government said ended with eight dead. Jordan Goudreau’s comments in an interview with an exiled Venezuelan journalist capped a bizarre day that started with reports of a pre-dawn amphibious raid near the South American country’s heavily guarded capital. An AP investigation published Friday found that Goudreau had been working with a retired Venezuelan army general now facing U.S. narcotics charges to train dozens of deserting Venezuelan soldiers at secret camps inside neighboring Colombia....

President Trump gets a thing or two done. In his first term in office, President Trump apparently thought he could operate as if the federal government were a corporation he headed as Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of the armed forces. He assumed those beneath him would give him honest counsel, would perform their assigned duties, and follow his directives. He learned otherwise. All the steps he took the first week after beginning his astonishing second term are those a wise CEO and commander in chief must take to do the job he promised and was elected to do....

Ric Grenell, President Trump's former ambassador to Germany, and Director of National Intelligence, knows a thing or two about Jack Smith, having lived in Europe when Smith was active in prosecuting war crimes in The Hague.
