Despite my reservations about Mike Waltz, this is the best approach.
During an interview with Breitbart News, incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz says the entire National Security Council is going to be removed from position and new staff assigned to the NSC. Every member is expected by the Trump administration to willingly resign at 12:01pm on inauguration day.
This is very much needed because the NSC is a petri dish for political manipulation of intelligence and policy depending on the ideological alignment with the NSC member. We have talked about this issue at length. The various silos of the DC intelligence and policy institutions send and embed ideologues in the NSC to represent their interests. The only way to deal with it correctly is to remove all of them and vet their replacements.
BREITBART NEWS – […] The way the NSC works is the National Security Advisor oversees a team of political appointees from the president who oversee a wide range of what are called “detailees”—people who work at the various agencies and departments across the federal government who are assigned, or detailed, to work at the White House for a period of time on the NSC in a portfolio in which they demonstrate expertise.
These career intelligence officials come from places as wide-ranging as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and report up to the political appointees atop each major portfolio in the NSC.
The NSC has various issue-specific portfolios like counterterrorism and cyber policy as well as regional portfolios focused on things like the western hemisphere or the Middle East or Europe or Asia. The detailees then help coordinate back to the various agencies and departments so the whole federal government executes on the decisions that the president makes.
… “[T]he folks that we’re bringing in are 100 percent aligned with the president’s agenda. Hell, the entire world seems to be aligned with his agenda if you just look at the outreach from world leaders and everybody who wants to come to Mar-a-Lago. So, there’s a little bit of a difference in that everybody was reflexively just against him [the first time] just for the sake of it and the Trump Derangement Syndrome was out of control in 2017.
Now, after seeing and feeling four years of progressive governance under Biden and seeing the world come unglued, we’re not even seeing the levels of resistance to his agenda—that’s just a broader point. But also, the folks we’re bringing in, the key members of my team, have relationships out in these agencies and we know who is completely on board.”
Waltz was one of Trump’s first personnel announcements right after he won the presidential election, and since the National Security Advisor position does not require confirmation in the U.S. Senate, he has been one of the most vocal and public figures among the incoming Trump administration since then.
Other folks who are slated for Cabinet positions need confirmation by the Senate before they start regularly engaging publicly with the media, so Waltz and a few others have filled the void in the meantime. But most importantly, Waltz is fighting to get the right team in place at the NSC so Trump is ready to roll on day one, and added there has been “zero issue” in so doing. (read more)
Interesting. Another round of sabotage from within the NSC is what Ned Ryun has been warning about. Perhaps Mike Walz was listening…

And then there’s this to watch out for. Personnel is policy.

Why is Mike Turner chairman of HPSCI committee again?
Here is his conservative score per Conservative Review [I do not know what the leanings of Conservative Review are, i.e. whether it is MAGA or establishment.]
I am aware of some of Turner’s shenanigans in support of the Intel community, including support of the surveillance state via 702.
Is there supposed to be a link to the conservative score?
Sorry I forgot to copy and paste it.

This is the most exciting occurrence since
.sliced bread.President Trump was certified.There have been OBidenBama holdovers in their White House lair screwing the pooch for over a decade and a half. I’d be willing to make a wager there are a few who have been there almost as far back as the inception of the NSC itself, in 1947!
As there is a …subversive element in the officer corps, that engage in homoerotic “puppy play” your use if the term “screwing the pooch” is particularly apt.
So, where we can actually SEE and HEAR a new nominee, because hecis not under a gag order, we see some VERY POSITIVE actions.
Once sworn in, and as these nominees get confirmed and can actually get started, I wonder how many nattering nabobs of negativity are going to have their expressed reservations, doubts and criticisms answered?
Add Clinton holdovers, as well. When I was working in the swamp (2004 – 2016), my agency/department was full of them, as Bush Jr. didn’t get rid of those he could have via asking for appointee resignations on Day One.
The swamp is VERY deep.
My only concern is telegraphing these actions to the public. It risks inspiring those on the way out to cause as much destruction as they can on the way out. I’m probably naive though. They likely already know and are doing that anyway.
They telegraphed the announcement, because they’re expecting their resignations.
I doubt any will resign, and will wait to be fired. So is the leftist shits brain work.
Every last one can be fired…
Unless BIden pulls a last minute conversion of these positions to Civil Service positions. It has been done in the past.
That’s what I like to hear. Now do the NIH/NIAID. How about clear out the FBI headquarters in DC? All of the lawyers at the DoJ need to go. Let’s see half the population of the greater DC area seeking relocation. I want to hear a chorus of, “YOU’RE FIRED!”
And lots of real estate ads: Home for sale.
Price reduced
Good luck getting insurance for a home purchase!
ROFLOL!!!
Those of us here in the DC area are pining for this to happen. Well, those of us who were never dumb enough to get into GOVCON jobs, or GOV jobs. We want these people out of here. They moved in heavy during the Obama administration and never left. They used to leave when their time in office was done. Now they don’t. I bought my condo in Arlington just across key bridge (Georgetown) in 2000 from a woman in Clinton’s cabinet because she was going back where ever she came from. That’s the way it used to be. GTFO!!
So, just as Obummer didn’t leavecwhen his time was up, neither did his acolytes,…figures.
Yep. Arlington was amazing when I moved in. Me and my buddies used to run around that place like it was a play ground. No social justice crap, no condo buildings every ten feet. Then Obama came in, they tore down all our old cherished establishments, and put up condos on top of condos on top of apartments. It’s now an urban jungle, with HOA and COA’s running the properties like little Gestapos.
The old Ballston mall was garbage and they finally rebuilt it, only to mirror some strange art deco, social justice warriors, crazy dream of a mall. It’s terrible. And the establishments literally have signs in the windows declaring them safe spaces from hate. Yet crime has run rampant since the leftist push in to town.
I miss the city that I came of age in. And it’s never coming back, unless PDJT actually sends most gov agencies to other parts of the country. Us true locals will celebrate like it’s 1999. Virginia was a reliably conservative state. Now we can’t win a damn election. Get them OUT!!!
Exactly!
👍 👍
That is how it used to be!
And all govt. workers knew the term RIF.
Now they are like DC cockroaches 🪳🪳
been around so long-it takes a lot of effort
to get rid of them. They know what crevices
to hide in.🥴
Given the protections built into the system for civil service, I have been trying for years to get our side to understand that the weak link is relocation. We can transfer FBI nose ring wearing DEI types to Burundi, and dispatch a large crew of EPA zealots to the western Aleutians. Look at all the acreage that the Federal govt. owns in the remotest corners of Nevada. What a great place for the Faucis of this world to do their gain of function research. The possibilities here are limited only by the reach of one’s imagination.
Walz is Trump’s Hercules! Cleaning out the Augean stables in a single day will be eclipsed if Mike Walz can accomplish this OH So necessary task.
Not to be picky, but the spelling of his last name is rather important since the past election for Pres/VP. It’s Waltz, not Walz.
Does qualify for top level security?
Just like the dance! Thanks, Doc, that will help me remember!
NSA needs a total rewrite of it’s methods – and a superheated steam enema as well,
Collection on Americans without valid national security reason is unconstitutional and irresistable to abuse. Collect on valid targets only. Excell at that.
Starting with past Presidents. WHY do they need unfettered access to current classified material?
The MAGA / America First “two-step 2025 deportation dance”:
Step 1:
Immediate deportation of the treasonous, traitors out of the weaponized departments in the Executive Branch, aka FBI, CIA, ATF, DOJ, ETC, ETC, ETC. The numbers will reach upward of tens of thousands.
Step 2:
Immediate deportation of the illegals out of the country. The numbers will reach upward of 42,000,000……. through self or forced deportation.
The expeditious exodus will shed America of the unconstitutional, dangerous, unlawful invaders, helping to restore honest and fair elections to all American communities by insuring only citizens are on the voter rolls.
Also, eliminating the massive drain on America’s education, health and welfare systems. Insuring that only American’s will use the tax-payer funded citizen benefits.
And American’s shouted: “It is ’bout time.”
RUN ‘EM! RUN ‘EM NOW!!!!
Your 42,000,000 number appears to indicate you have a desire to deport ALL illegals, not just the one’s who came in through the open border policy of the Biden/Obama/Hillary et al. regime. If that is, in fact, what you are proposing, GOOD!!!
28,767 illegals per day would need to be deported beginning on day one of the new administration to make that happen.
Well then, let’s make it 30,000 a day and finish early.
A concept President Trump is rather familiar with
Ahead of schedule and under budget!
Just be ambitious, and do it all on Day 1!!! (I wish!!)
There is nothing wrong with these illegals to be notified in advance that they ought to book a moving van RIGHT NOW to get them to the border. Then they can become MX’s problem.
If they travel by private vehicle then they should produce papers that the vehicle they are driving is not stolen otherwise it will be confiscated and held until they do produce the papers. MX can arrange for buses and storage facilities to help these people “looking for a better life”.
They came here unannounced and unwelcome …… they can leave the same way.
Most will self-deport on their own nickel, with an incentive to go quickly, cutting down on the number of required forced deportations.
They can go either the easy way or the hard way, their choice. But, once they are picked up for force deportation, the “self deportation option” is no longer valid.
Cut off all government aid programs to illegals and the NGO’s that support them. Most will leave on their own without the “free stuff” We The People are forced to give them.
Some will try to support themselves by committing additional criminal acts. Arrest them and put them on a bus to the Mexican border. They can walk home by the same route and method they got here.
This can all happen while there is a 100% moratorium on all immigration and the borders are being secured. Once those processes are complete and we are set up to enforce existing immigration LAWS as written (not agency policies, rules, and regulations) then LEGAL immigration can be slowly opened up as needed to benefit the American People. After that has been in place for a few years Congress can start to consider what, if any, changes to current immigration LAWS are needed.
A immigration moratorium was perfomed once before in the U.S., from the mid 1920s until the passage of the Hart – Celler/Immigration and Naturalization Act in 1965. Ignore the naysayers that will bleat that this cannot be done because there are too many people to deport and it will cost too much, all it takes is the political will to do this.
EE,
Thanks for the comment.
” deport ALL illegals,”
Yes, all illegals in the country …
That is what President Trump said due to the fact that they all are a danger to our elections, the counts that determine the number of representatives in a state and the drain on our national and state resources ……. not to mention they are law breakers, unqualified to be a new citizen.
President Trump said we would “start with the dangerous criminals” …….. “start” being the operative term.
Self-deportees will end up being the largest number ….. no doubt President Trump plans on a carrot and stick approach to get them to leave on their own nickel ….. as in “leave on your own and you can get in the back of the line to come back in under a work permit, as conditions warrant……. wait to be force deported and you will be forever forbidden from coming back in.
You can visualize a PSA in the spirit of Taco Bell’s……”head for the border commercial.”
Exactly Cactus. Enforce laws that penalize employers for hiring illegals. No jobs equals self deportation.
This is one thing that Romney was right on.
Cut all of the money off of their government issued card except enough for a plane ticket and make it redeemable only for a ticket.
Then shut down the hotels and kick them out on the street in the snow.
They will go home.
Hotels won’t like the lost revenue stream.
A lot of people won’t like it, especially the NGOs and others making money off this illegal system. I say too bad, so sad and find another way to make money instead of being part of the downfall of America. Time’s up! GETTEMOUTTAHERE.
Completely agree.
Let employers be afraid enough to start getting rid of them in their companies. No money in their pockets, they go home. But have to also stop any state or NGO free money or promise of living for free at the same time.
Mr Homan may already be read in here at CTH. Or he may already have your suggestion in the queue! Either way another good problem solve from the branches here! BZ on the PSA 🙏🏽
Let the firing begin, and don’t stop until the entire swamp is drained.
Great Start!
Double edged sword.
No doubt needed. Just has some built in dangers.
I know a SPECOPS guy (SEAL) who was hired as a subject matter expert ISO NSC. The guy is an American first but leaned a little Left of center – married a Hispanic woman. Very decent guy. Intelligent. Totally professional. LIke all SPECOPS types – very connected with the rest of the bubbas in that exclusive club.
Don’t replace the recidivist threats with Yes People! Ensure PDJT is supported by best of breed.
That is one perspective but another perspective is this:
The NSC is another one of Truman’s follies just like the establishment of the CIA.
The NSC is a Redundant bureaucracy re-engineered to allow the Intelligence Community to play a tail wagging the dog role throughout government. It puts the spooks inside the White House. If you wish to speak of silos then this is it.
The NSC was formed in the National Defense Act of 1947 Before it was the NIA.
“The immediate predecessor to the National Security Council was the National Intelligence Authority (NIA), which was established by President Harry S. Truman’s Executive Letter of January 22, 1946, to oversee the Central Intelligence Group, the CIA’s predecessor. The NIA was composed of the secretary of state, the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, and the chief of staff to the commander in chief.”
All those subject matter experts will be hired from where? The same spook agencies that’s where.
Would it be more prudent to go back to pre-1946 and have the actual directors under the control of the White House Chief of staff every day?
For the future health of our Republic which is of the greater danger ? The proven enemies within our gates of the bad actors outside? A case can be made that most of our current ills are spawned within rather than without.
Eliminate with extreme prejudice and replace with skeleton crew and put their activities under a microscope daily.
One can examine the org chart any way they choose.
At the end of the day, especially in this complex world, the information has to be collected and analyzed; strategies developed; resources brought to bear. Decisions have to be made. There are real lives, millions of them, at risk.
The conversation at the moment, sad and pathetic at the same time, is that America has lost its way to such an extent that it cannot rely upon commitment, integrity and “best for all of us” public servants in even the most critical/vital functions for all of us.
I understand the energy behind purge all the vestigal evil. I support much of it. One has to nevertheless look at all the angles – to have a “feel” for whether the optimum is actually in reach. I’m not so confident that the store will be well defended while the necessary pruning/political bulimia is executed or that the work that has to be done will get done. The challenges don’t go away by changing the org chart or firing the miscreants. At some point, reality and the need to act over-take grand generalizations. There ya go – my Jerry Maguire impression. I’m confident I had no one’s ear at “I understand”.
Have you run a large security organization? Or any big organization? Sooner or later what you propose, if it becomes over-weaning, undermines the entire organization. If such deep over-site is required to ensure optimum performance – the entire effort has already failed. Great leadership and dedicated people make for success. The two walk hand in hand.
I am grateful that there are sites like CTH where such ideas can be aired and debated – regardless of whether folks agree or not.
Where do weasels like this grow and hide?
(Please do not mistake this reply as a personal debate and I am also grateful for this forum.)
We are looking at the real crux of the matter in that everyone agrees that the federal behemoth is overblown and dysfunctional correct? The answer is never more bureaucracy or additions to the organizational chart.
Indeed it is hidden within the many levels that little weasels grow to be big problems
Left to themselves bureaucracies naturally grow creating a “need” where one either doesn’t exist or possibly is redundant. The answer is never more money or yet another organization. The Patriot Act is a grand example of a “fix” that made everything much more complicated and much worse.
The only answer to the “swamp”, the monster that the federal government has become is to prune rigorously and with passion. Every single entity of the federal government should be looked at with the eye of could we survive without it. Every single one!
to respond to an edit:
Labeling an organization as a “security organization” does not make it sacrosanct nor vouch for its existence or necessity. Neither does labeling an organization to be “Intelligence”, in point of fact it makes it even more suspect immediately because of non-accountability.
No. The answer is finding better solutions. Ultimately, it’s restoring a culture of service to America grounded in the highest principles.
Swamp conversation is like addressing hedge bushes that have not been tended to. If the hedges or some form of gardening is needed, then prune them.
I agree, the Federal Budget – gov’t spending…the real oil in the machine – has exceeded all reason. That budget/debt excess includes huge civil service expansion supporting new executive departments and agencies (established by both Republicans and Democrats) and a thousand and one million income transfer schemes. DOGE will, one hopes, initiate an earnest pruning. Ultimately, Congress will have to change its priorities and allegiances.
While your insight is correct about the paramount need to undo the waste and often damaging inroads of gov’t into our private economy and lives, it has to be done intelligently and it has to be done in a way that does not destabilize critical functions. Here’s a crude way of putting it (forgive me): if the reshaping of gov’t isn’t done smartly and strategically, something will be ****ed up in a major way, black swans always happen sooner or later, and no matter the excuse, those in charge will be held accountable; the entire effort will lose support.
There has never been a better moment than now, in the last 50 years, for PDJT to actualize a strategy that restores American power (and prestige) while observing the highest principles we all expect. Cleaning house is only one component of the strategy – one imagines. Getting rid of the villains doesn’t automatically translate to victory. As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. Ballistic missile subs are still patrolling, terrorist organizations are still plotting, lobbyists still patrol the hallways, Wall Street mavens still conjure new financial instruments no one understands, maintenance at major airlines isn’t as trustworthy as it used to be, the judiciary still steps outside its traditional bounds, the rest of the world continues its self-interested activities, crimes persist in our subways, poverty still continues, non-discretionary spending and future entitlements still dominate the Federal budget, border security and allied attacks (sex trafficking, fentanyl) remain threats, Chinese exploitation/subversion persists as do its economic and geo-strategic challenges …….all of this [fill in your own vulgarity] and more are living challenges that persist independent of org chart/power point shell games. Some is handed off to the States….but a lot of it remains at the Federal level whether its direct control or setting the bounds within its scope of Constitutional authorities.
The challenges to and for America are not going to disappear. The job still has to get done. It is with near certainty going to be an angle of attack as all of this restructuring unfolds.
I’m not fighting the advocated structural changes. I’m saying that even someone on the sidelines can see it’s not enough. An attack surface is what it is. The strategy has to be holistic.
Our gov’t will not function for an immoral populace is another argument beyond the scope of the topic of federal bureaucracy and in particular the executive branch and specifically the NSC.
(Agreed immorality and lack of integrity cause government to fail)
3 homilies
The smaller the dog the less bite inflicted upon us all and all the easier to delouse.
If our hedges are overgrown then planting more hedge and adding more fertilizer is not the answer.
The constitution speaks to chaining down the government:
If your beast is uncontrollable then feeding it or buying larger chains is an unlikely solution.
My perspective is largely formed by Thomas Jefferson the founders and The Five Thousand Year Leap which I sincerely wish all here would take the time to read.
One. Depends on the dog and its mission.
Two. Listen to what Team Trump is saying. They are going to prune. And they are also going to grow.
Three. The Constitution establishes our form of gov’t. It speaks to the distribution of authorities between the States and the Federal government. Lastly, at the insistence of the anti-Federalists, the original twelve amendments were approved by the States.
I haven’t stated anything about growing it. I do know that over the course of two hundred fifty plus years the problems that have to be addressed increase in scope and the resources required to address the fixes also increase. I fully agree it has been corrupted and also resides as an anchor that can drag us all down – certainly future generations.
You’re over home plate but in the pattern at 30,000 feet. The journey/fight has only just begun to figure out what is needed and what is not needed; how to pay for it; how to deal with the interests that have de-railed the system; how to restore justice and rule-of-law. PDJT is not going to dismantle the system. Heck, he created a whole new military command on his last go-around.
So what’s your plan? Fire 100,000/200,000/a million civil service workers the day after taking office? Instruct every Federal employee not to show up to work? Decapitate all senior military leadership? Inform border security folks to give it up?
Tossing out guesstimates is great fun. But getting down to the dirty details of who, when, how, opportunity costs, etc., is a lot harder. Fire or attrition or a mix? I’m all for shedding the flotsam and conspirators. It has to be done in a smart way that itself has some semblance of recognition that it is other Americans who are getting whipsawed – whether you see them all as enemies or not. Do it smart.
Anywho, enjoy a great weekend. Glad we’re on the same side even if we have some differences on how to go about fixing a situation the entire country is responsible for allowing to become FUBAR (almost). interesting thought: would we even be lodged in this discussion at this moment if Donald Trump advised by a sharp statistician had not concluded “enough is enough….there is a path”
Have gr8 day
Fire every single one of them in a monthly rotation if necessary to maintain any real function that may be served for the American People.
Any that are fired and believe that they can perform their duty and service to the American People can be invited to apply to fill the jobs that remain available. They will have to submit to substantive investigation, vetting, interviews, etc. to be restored to service of the American People.
Amen. If you allow rot, you get more of it. Even the ones we “need” have rot. The folks on the inside know of the corruption and it begets more corruption. Only the suckers play fair. When you read that only 6% of the Federal Workforce is in the office and 5 of the 6 are janitors and security, how much actual work is occuring? Not much.
Also much of what goes on is against the MAGA agenda. We don’t need pruning. We need the largest chainsaw available.
Maybe better to shut it all down.
Frankly, if the function isn’t identified in the Constitution or an Amendment as a Federal function then it should be eliminated. If it is important enough Congress can propose to include it as an Amendment and let We The People if we want it as a Federal function.
This should be the basis for Federal budget allocation;
Fund the Constitutionally enumerated roles specifically assigned to the Federal government. (Ratified Constitutional amendments are by definition included in any reference to the Constitution. Specifically assigned does not include functions and roles added under the miss-definition of “general welfare”.Fund the programs for which the government has confiscated moneys that are due to be returned to the American People. This includes programs for which Americans are actually entitled to return of funds from the government such as Social Security, Medicare, pensions, etc.Fund an emergency fund for the aide and support of American People when unforeseen natural or manmade catastrophes strike.Establish a plan for paying off the National Debt over a fixed period of time.Determine actual revenue available without imposing burdensome confiscatory taxes on the American People.Prepare a balanced budget with any excess put into savings and/or available for discretionary spending as approved by and for the benefit of the American People.None of this is rocket science. It is the same process that every fiscally responsible household and most honest business ventures go through.
I welcome any bit of good news I stumble across these days. This appears to qualify.
Clean sweep, Mr. President. Sweep them all out, everywhere in government.
May this action of firing every single one of the National Security Counsel on day one be a harbinger of what’s to come in other executive branch agencies.
Every current DOJ District Attorney and all seats in DC DOJ vacated would be a dream come true!
Actions are the only thing that matters.
Line up the US Attnys next.
I love a good roast. Now do the DOJ!!!
Good news!
Mustn’t install anyone with Ukrainian heritage. He will be a spy for the Deep State.
Victoria Spartz is about as Maga as you could get.
It’s not just “Ukrainian heritage” that makes dual-citizen-qualified Americans anti-MAGA.
It’s the standard neocon genealogy that makes them commit treason against the USA: Those who have ancestors who were residents of the “Pale” in the Russian Empire in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Those ancestors fled the pogroms and settled in the USA. They infected our country with their hatred of Russia, along with socialist/communist beliefs. They were mostly Trotskyist communists–that is, they believed in an international revolution, imposing their “democracy” across the world. They joined the Democrat party, then slid into the Republican party when the Democrats were too focused on civil rights, and were anti-war. They became the neocons: war-now-war-forever-for-Israel; and Russia-Russia-Russia section of the Republicans. They joined with the PC-Progs, in a vile lash-up to sow chaos in the Middle East, and to engage Russia in proxy wars. The majority of them have “birth-right citizenship” in a tiny country on the shores of the Mediterranean. Should they be convicted of treason or espionage against the USA, Israel will welcome them with open arms, providing them with a passport and honors.
The other faction that must be identified and purged is the Christian Zionists. They are in lock-step with the Pale descendants, for different ideological reasons, but resulting in exact sharing of beliefs.
https://www.zerohedge.com/contributed/millions-evangelical-christians-want-start-wwiii-speed-second-coming-and-atheist-neocons
Those are the ones that we must identify and purge. Never let them near any government job, nor in any influential media position. Identify them, name them, and shun them.

The president’s ready to go and we’ve got really well-known people like Seb Gorka and others that everybody knows how to get a hold of and is no shrinking violet when it comes to taking it to the terrorists and keeping the country safe and being out there swinging for the president’s agenda.
I can’t stand listening to him on NewsMax anymore, but I think he has the right attitude. This is going to be interesting.
Completely with you on “can’t stand listening” to Gorka–on Newsmax or anywhere else.
Gorka is “well-known” and is definitely “not a shrinking violet.” But Gorka is NOT an expert about anything but Hungary and the UK.
He is a smarmy, foreign, obnoxious, neo-conservative academic, with weird, unexplained foreign benefactors who supported his emergence onto the American “conservative” scene during the Tea Party days. (Note: his unexplained benefactor may be that he married an American heiress–see below.)
Like all the others in the same mold (Shapiro, etc) he sings the exact same song, from the exact same songbook, all with the same theme. Saying the same thing over and over does not make one an expert in that issue–just a broken record mouthpiece for the hostile foreign power that sponsors them.
Gorka has been in America for less than 20 years, and an American citizen for much less than that. Before coming to American, in his native Britain, and his ancestral home, Hungary, he was politically active and employed in military and intelligence roles.
Hilariously, the Jewish publication, Forward, consistently links Gorka to “anti-semitism,” and Nazi-affiliations in Hungary:
It was in mid-February that Gorka’s affinity for Hungarian nationalist and far-right ideas first came to the American public’s attention. Eli Clifton of the news website Lobelog noticed from a photograph that the new deputy assistant to the president had appeared at an inauguration ball in January wearing a Hungarian medal known as Vitézi Rend. The medal signifies a knightly order of merit founded in 1920 by Admiral Miklos Horthy, Hungary’s longtime anti-Semitic ruler and Hitler’s ally during World War II. Notwithstanding this alliance, and the group’s designation as Nazi-collaborators by the U.S. State Department, many within Hungary’s right revere Horthy for his staunch nationalism during the overall course of his rule from 1920 to 1944.
https://forward.com/news/364085/sebastian-gorka-trump-aide-forged-key-ties-to-anti-semitic-groups-in-hunga/?attribution=author-article-listing-1-headline
All in all, Gorka is an extremely strange bird to be flying around American MAGA skies. Maybe he’d be an interesting consultant on Hungarian matters, or insight into British intelligence. But a counter-terrorism or Jihad expert? Nope.
Gorka is half of another of the two-fer couples. His wife, an heiress of the Cornell Ironworks, is Katie Cornell Gorka:
Katharine “Katie” Cornell Gorka is an American national security analyst who served as a senior policy adviser in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in the Trump administration from 2017, and press secretary of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for two months in 2019. She is married to Sebastian Gorka, former deputy assistant to the president.[1]
She could potentially be styled as having terrorism/Islamic extremist expertise–through academic studies. Seems like her Hungarian nationalist husband, who is better at public appearances, attained his “expertise” through marriage.
Very interesting – thanks for that.
I hope all the ‘security clearances’ of every democrat, including BHO, is revoked by Jan 21.
And all their garages are checked for ‘documents’ at 4am, while they’re cuffed in their underwear on FNC.
Don’t forget the leg irons.
I question FNC, I’d rather the scoop go to people that are outsiders and on the Right. Those that have been attacked, demonetized, persecuted, slandered and laughed at by the mainstream system. People like Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, James O’Keefe ‘et al.
Agreed. But I’ll go a bit further: No civilian working outside the Government, unless they are actively working on a Federal Contract requiring a security clearance, should have access to any classified material. This include past Presidents and ‘K’ street employees.
I’m going to pray Mike Waltz sticks to MAGA and makes good on these promises. So far, so good. I do not trust him either, but like Sundance says it is absolutely the right first move and I fully understand and accept President Trump is going to be pragmatic in righting the USA ship; I’m hanging onto the railing no matter what.
May he be successful in purging the infested IC sewer of the entrenched demons who mean to cause trouble. Or worse.. And thus it starts in 10 days.
🙏🙏🙏
Why are we telegraphing our moves??
So that they have their affairs in order. PDJT may have “friendlies” within the NSC that are watching and gathering intel on what they are doing and talking about.
This also let’s people in other departments to go ahead and leave. If not, get prepared to be jettisoned.
This is the way.
This must be done through the Trump Admin in every department.
Git it done.
All computers and phones used for the conduct of government activity should be remotely frozen and seized by Trump’s orders. All offices and records locked. Any electronic devices used for government activity belong to the American people, including all data contained therein. Even personal devices used for such activity contain data belonging to the people.
THey will have done all the erasing prior to 20 Jan.
From the article by Lee Smith, The Deep State Strikes Back!
When contacted by Tablet, Steinman said: “President Trump has the greatest instincts in a leader I have ever seen. And he deserves a team that executes his vision with the tenacity and vigor befitting the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people.”
Surely there are possible crimes in there somewhere?
Now we just need Tulsi, Pam and Kash to get the COMMs, the whistleblowers and the rest of the evidence to a grand jury and then prosecution so Americans can finely have real justices and accountability
That’s the advice that some people here passed along, the guy who was desperately trying to make sure That PDJT heard it.
Bravo.
Sounds like he needs to be on the new team as a fountain of insight to help with the clean-out.
Fire them all? This is the way!
I hope that someone in President Trump’s publicity staff has the sense to video and release the tearing down of that fake stage built for the installed demented, pedo, corrupt Joe Biden head of the Biden Crime Family!!!! JMO
Yeah, we’ll see. Trump is horrible at hiring, and then even more horrible at firing. Hard to believe he’s suddenly figured stuff out after 70+ years of doing it so utterly wrong. What he’s good at, what all billionaires are good at, is making deals with other rich people to move the big pots of money around. Wow!
Bless your heart.
Ah, and once again Blogfare raises its head up, to see if anyone is paying attention, by reiterating this tired old trope.
Apparently, “Tom” chose not to read Sundance’s article, THE GAME PLAN.
Here you go, “Tom” and the rest of your group.
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit. A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1b visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough. They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it. You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.
Don’t let the door hit ya…..
Pop! goes a weasel
Still upset?
😛 👎
Lee Smith warns the person rumored to be the choice to head the new group is a very deep state operative from Turner’s staff…

This is a good article. So we watch for news on Adam Howard? Whether he is in or out?
Good-riddance Jake-the-snake Sullivan! Another cadaver walking creep.
Just curious:
Do you require letters of resignation from ALL NSC employees or just those above a specific level?
What happens to those who refuse to resign?
Will there be any vetting of those resigning to keep some of those who might re-apply or do they just go away?
This and so much more shows me how much better prepared President Trump is going into office this time compared to 2016. He was not meant to win 2020 because it would have been a continuation of the same abusive relationships of the time, uninformed by the failures of the Biden administration.
But the fraud of the Democrats has been partially revealed, the failures of the Biden administration have informed the public, and there has been a shake-up of people in Congress.
Now, President Trump can do a new reset, without some of the obstructions and handicaps of his first term.
Resigning only means that these SWAMP CREATURES return to their ‘agencies’ to continue the destruction. What needs to follow is that ALL SENIOR EXECUTIVE SERVICE (SES) need to be FIRED. They are the DEEP STATE and control the inner workings of government. They ALL believe that “appointees” don’t know what they’re doing and can be ‘waited out’. The only policies that will not be slow-rolled are those that meet the SES approval…otherwise, they’ll stonewall. These are EVIL, GREEDY, AND CORRUPT govies…who’ve been doing this for a very long time. They even have a “Finishing School” where all new SES go to learn how to RULE from those who came before them. GET RID OF THEM ALL…or fail completely. Fair warning…
Clean house.
To me, the real question is WHO will be making the recommendations to the President of the people that need to be in those positions? Remember how much damage was done the last time because of advice from the likes of Pence and others? WHOSE advice is the President going to take this time?
It should be done in the entire DC area.
What if current members refuse to keave?
If they refuse to leave…show them a photo of the empty cells at Guantanamo.
Out the airlock.
Fire most of these people in all departments. They don’t work anyway, and are moving into the county in which I live. They are infesting. The MARC train station parking lot is 99% empty. They all have luxury SUVs which is how one tells them apart from farmers. Not to mention the rudeness, bad driving, entitlement, wine guzzling wives, and lack of understanding about rural life.
NSC is a good start. Worthless.
senator warner to waltz in confirmation hearing ,’ Is it true you will fire entire nsc staff? ‘ waltz, ‘ Yep.’ warner, ‘ Why?’ waltz ,’ Because they are you.’
The position that Waltz is taking does not need Senate approval.
Literally close it down for at least one month to find and break all ties to IC and cut the ties that bind.
AND don’t let ‘concentrated power’ fester up again.
A Republic if We can keep it. No One has the upper hand.
I hope they consider revoking or lowering(?) security clearances. Let’s get back to the “need to know” thing. Not many Biden advisors or staffers will “need to know” what Trump and his staff are doing any more than Steve from Amarillo would. The last thing we need are “51 intelligence experts” looking at Trump’s plans.
Kash Patel has considered that. It happened right after someone’s suggestion to do just that was posted here (as well as in other places).
It’s very important to speak up and never just “trust the plan”.
Kash Patel says he recommended to Trump that he immediately pull the security clearance of anyone who broke the law, including the 51 former intelligence officials

Merry Christmas America!
It is the correct thing to do… I do not trust Waltz… Talk is cheap, money buys whiskey
I spoke with a Guatemalan worker and he said he’d like to see Guatemala as part of the United States. Things are so bad there, he has no hope for his own people to fix it.
I’d be ok with that; just don’t give them voting rights until the corruption is eliminated…
I think a lot of people, illegals, would rather see their own countries become states of the US rather than be deported. An idea…
This is utter madness. Our own country is in ruins, and you want to add other countries which have never not been in ruins, which are filled with people who are completely unassimilable into Heritage American culture, which is itself under terminal attack by the internationalist enemy within. Ruling over people not your own is empire. NO MORE EMPIRE.
iSapiens, go to California. Secede. We won’t stop you. Then import Guatemala. Then import Zambia. Try Central African Republic next. You will be an example to the entire rest of the world of the path not to go down, even more than post-America already is.
additional note: 1 in 5 Guatemalans (20%) ALREADY LIVES INSIDE US BORDERS! This is data years old. The actual percentage today 10 Jan 25 is almost certainly higher. Guatemala: we didn’t make it, we didn’t break it, and we don’t OWE Guatemalans anything. Moreover, us making voluntary contributions is not going to happen in any meaningful way until we restore our own house.
The best way to help others is to lead by example. We used to do this. We were respected and emulated in the early 1950’s, a positive example. Now we are despised in equal parts for being predators (thanks, neocons and neolibs) and for being foolish prey animals. Nobody respects or emulates a sucker.
No thanks, we don’t need turd world dumps.
We need to deport the turd worlders.
“Despite my reservations about Mike Waltz, this is the best approach.”
Yes, firing all the communist rats is great. However, the punchline is who will replace them. They will be replaced by another variety of rat-that-walks-on2legs, the empire-first globalist. Why? Because this is who Pres. Trump had to cut a deal with in order not to be cheated again. Will the faction of the globalists with whom he has a cut a deal even hold up their end of the bargain? CAN they even? The crony-cartel-corporatists (globalists) just want us to deal with their communist problem, then they will turn their attention back to dealing with us.
I am not sure that, in the long term from a Europeanity-survival perspective, that this is a good trade. Expelling Haitians while importing Indians is not an improvement because the former will be easier to send home when the collapse inevitably comes. (Seriously, do you think this corrupt degenerate empire our republic has been mutilated into will last forever? ALL empires die. There are no exceptions.)
Only nationalists communists like the Chinese have ever shown a shred of governance capability. (Some form of ethnocentrism is REQUIRED for civilizational stability.) So, say what you will about the international communists. (I think the world will be a better place when they are dangling from judicial gallows.) However, one can count on their governance incompetence to wreck the invade-the-world/invite-the-world empire. No more empire means no more unwanted foreigners flooding into and conquering European civilizations through replacement.
Pull all their security clearances!
Don’t telegraph your intentions!
!
not just fire them, but prosecute them for crimes committed.
In that 12:01 firing, include every staff member down to the janitor. Otherwise, the leaks will never cease.
Washington is in a way similar to New York before the first automobiles started appearing.
The horses and carriages were banned and the streets cleaned up and stayed clean.
Hope something similar happens in Washington.
Hope New York will also be cleaned up because it has certainly regressed.
Which ever Agencies he intends to eliminate he needs to fire everyone immediately and then send in the Corp of Engineers to implode the headquarters. A symbolic and practical approach to abolishing that agency. I’m dead serious.
Absolutely necessary and a critical move in washing away certain elements of the decrepit DC establishment. Tells me the Ukraine fiasco is nearing its end game.
Now on to the DOJ…
My ex-wife is a logistics manager for a major UK military industrial contractor.
She told me today that there’s something ‘big‘ brewing, a lot of ordnance is being moved / positioned for something that’s happening very very soon.
There’s so much armament being shipped, there’s a shortage of ships / containers / personnel to move it all around.
She’s under the Official Secrets Act, so she would not tell me where the arms are headed.
I am surprised she even told you that much.
Yes
She probably shouldn’t have, sering as how he’s blabbing it here, and maybe elsewhere.
Probably giving it all as tribute to Xi Jinping. The UK isn’t fit to go to war with anybody, so they don’t need it.
The same UK unwilling/unable to defend its own pubescent daughters from hordes of cousin-wedding Pakistanis? You got that right.
I would venture a guess it has something to do with the Houthis’ latest hit on a U.S. aircraft carrier.
She should probably not be telling you things you will post here.
