According to media reports, President Trump has removed the entire leadership structure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), previously run by Samantha Power.
This is not necessarily a domestic issue. Those who walk the deepest political weeds well understand that USAID is the cover agency for the interventionist efforts of the CIA. USAID is the agency silo that coordinates the meddling in foreign elections, organizes the revolutions and political opposition of those deemed out of alignment with global democratic norms, funds the NGOs who do the ground operations, and generally seeks to replace foreign leaders.
President Trump has just removed the entire leadership structure of the USAID enterprise, approximately 60 government officials. You can bet that nationalist leaders of foreign countries are smiling now while Brussels (EU Commission) is left wondering who will pay for the foot soldiers.
(Via Politico) – […] The order — sent via email to members of the senior executive and senior Foreign Service — was issued close to the end of the business day Monday and was effective immediately, according to two current USAID officials and three former USAID officials told of the communication. It comes as USAID and the State Department have been ordered to impose halts on a vast number of humanitarian and related programs around the world.
The decision appears to affect nearly every career staffer who holds a top leadership role at the agency, at least in Washington — around 60 officials, the current and former officials said.
The cuts have left many offices within the agency entirely devoid of senior non-political leadership. The entire cadre of leaders who run USAID’s bureau for global health, for example, was put on leave, according to two of the officials.
“This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move. “This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.” (read more)
I’m sensing a pattern! Would LOVE to get a copy of the Daily Firings calendar that was clearly laid out ahead of time. Woot!
POTUS should have the networks post it like the daily COVID death ticker.
That and dollars saved today tracker, rapists/murders/traffickers deported tracker, etc
And on the military front:
“executive orders, which direct every element of the U.S. military to “operate free from any preference based on race or sex” and root out gender insanity and made up pronoun usage”
Make “they” plural again !!!
(drives me batty when news accounts use “they” and there’s only one guy there)
President Trump Signs Two Executive Orders Banning DEI and Transgender Indoctrination in Military
Yeah, “they” is only appropriate for non-plural usage when the gender of a singular person is unknown.
“Somebody broke into Satellite Two.”
“They left a light behind in a plastic bag.”
that example sounds better, but there is a singular non-gendered pronoun = IT
I revert to that when it’s obvious they are trying to genderbend us.
Of course, I enjoy using Zit on occasion as well.
Yes, this is correct.
One could also say:
“Whoever it was left a light…”
Actually my favorite day will be when we can return to the long understood grammar point that the male gender may properly be used to include the female, as in:
All men are created equal.
or “latinos”
There are better ways to get around that grammatically. Accepted common usage and appropriate grammar are two very different things.
“The person left a light…”
or
“The would be thief left a light…”
Sorry, I once made a living writing under very strict editors.
The only bad thing about this is now it will be a little harder to spot libtards in business online meetings.
Maybe there won’t be any? One can hope!
More winning, every day better than the next.
I’ve read that Mississippi and Missouri have bills pending for registered bounty hunters.
One thousand dollars a head for every illegal deported. What a difference a week makes. Lol
Yes, statisticians and a web site chock full of Win-o-meters!
What a brilliant idea!!!!
Bravo!!!!
Walter Cronkite here…..today’s Federal Government body count is 60 SOES scalps, 300,000 NGO weasel pelts, 89,000 reassigned to the Southern Border armadillos….
What was the final Biden/Fauxchi death total?
THAT hasn’t been finalized yet.
Excellent!
“Would LOVE to get a copy of the Daily Firings calendar……”
A new White House tradition: The Presidential Daily Firings.
Today’s wall of shame…. leave it for the end, just like the weather forecast.
My mom lives in the DC area and just put her house on the market. Good thing she got it up early, because in 3 months there is going to be a glut of homes in the DC area.
The realtor said some people are being told they have to come to work that have moved out of the area and will need to either quit or move back. I hope they quit.
Well Humpty, over here in Englandstan a bunch of uncivil servants are working from their homes – in Spain!
No joke
And clean up crews that are picking up evidence. Quiet patriots waiting for it to be safe to talk. Coerced people waiting to reveal what has been going on.
Perhaps a tote board on the Capitol lawn with photos of all the Derp Staters, and rubber stamped in red “TERMINATED”.
Give it that Jason Bourne energy.
Must be a lot whiplash happening in Washington DC.
The cockroaches are scurrying to find any available dark corners left.
Love it! Cockroaches scurry to cover when the lights are turned on. Way to go Mr President — keep that light going to search out all these creatures!
MAGA!
Big Constitutional Can of ‘the Executive’ RAID, thanks to recent SCOTUS rulings….
I can’t seem to get their theme song out of my head! “La cucaracha, la cucaracha…………”
Dang!
lol
Naah. Regrettably, it reaffirms whoever is in power calls the shots.
Can’t allow another OBama/Biden-like rerouting of fundamental principles.
Bingo
“It’s good to be the king”
(hat tip to Mel Brooks)
calls for some good white-boy reggae
“you became Queen … to a regime of fixed ideas …”
I want to understand White Reggae.
Wheres the lipstick on that pig?
Ha ha!
I see what you did there. Good one.
There’s more, by the way.
Take a listen to Annie Lennox singing Wait In Vain. Nice spin on the original.
Love Graham Parker!
cool – here’s another Graham white-boy reggae number, it kicks @ss
some great other numbers on this album too, Daddy’s a Postman and others run in sequence for the 2nd half of the album
bonus — anyone know of a famous news incident alluded to by the Daddy’s a Postman title?
I’m thinking it alludes to a news story about a killing or something, like Everything Goes does — at any rate, it’s compelling imagery and a great melody and great snare-drum cracks
Oh, piss boy.
Wait for the shake…
USAID handles 50% of all Congressionally approved foreign aid.
I was wondering when this was going to surface.
‘Bout time.
POTUS 45-47 is returning the power to the American people. Promise kept.
I’m a doubting Thomas sorta of person. I was aware at a very high level through the grapevine of some of the of pre-planning for border security type stuff.
But this? Extremely impressive. PDJT’s notebook of lessons learned from his first go-around must require a forklift to haul around!
and 100% of non-approved aid!
Maybe shutting it down?
It’s sort of like flushing a commode. First you press the lever, then, after a bit, the “soil” is removed. Step one; Trump just pushed the lever.
Hope so.
Please tell me Samantha Power was impacted by this!?! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
No – she resigned along with the other Biden appointees on January 20. But all her minions are gone now.
Unfortunately, Samantha Power and those minions will still be lurking in the shadows until another Biden or Obama or Harris gets reinstalled.
I don’t know; it seems to me there’s a courtroom in her future.
12 years from now they will be old and irrelevant. Time marches on.
Hopefully, when they are old and irrelevant, they will also be serving their time in prison.
How about we take sam’s security clearance as well!
I second that motion.
Puppet Master, but all the strings have been cut. Boo Hoo.
Victoria Nuland, ‘Honorary Undertaker of Ukraine’, if she hasn’t been taken out by a Russian missile…
Perhaps someone will offer her a nice cup of Polonium Tea.
Samuel Power left for greener pastures. He will be hanging out at Obama’s old stomping grounds…the g@y bathhouses of Chicago…
This has been a dream come true. It wouldn’t have been possible had we not suffered through the pain of the illegitimate Biden administration. Thank you, President Trump.
Thank you, Lord.
I bet the dems have deep regrets about stealing the 2020 election!
They’re not a terribly self-aware bunch. But their regrets are just beginning. There literally will be hell to pay for their transgressions. The Lord is not blind to them.
They wont regret anything until marched upon the gallows steps…
Let the crows FEAST!
NO MERCY!
Amen. A nice walk up those 13 steps.
I’m ready for Hillary.
Maybe not, but the effects of the Trump presidency will be felt for generations. The dims will suffer for it, and the United States and her people will reap the benefit.
They gave him 4 years time to research, study, game out strategy, organize combatants, test out timelines, probe the weak spots, calculate opponents and resistance, legally scour EO’s and Executive Actions!
THE POLITICAL MINDSET CANNOT COMPREHEND THIS GOOD vs EVIL BATTLE!
Lot of finger pointing going on!
No they don’t. You give them way to much credit. They thought they would have had this put down in 18m. The cabal never thought PDJT or the people would rise up to the occasion.
Who is the B aitch married to Roberts former law clerk? Where is that toe rag?
I doubt it.
They are just like the Bourbons in France after the fall of Napoleon- They learned nothing and they forgot nothing.
I’m not sure why the former Trump administration official isn’t named.
What do they have to hide?
Mike Pompeo
I guessed Judas Pence. He was instrumental in guiding 💰💰 to USAID in PDJT 1st term.
To Samantha: Please stay.
my thoughts exactly!
This pertains:

That was an amazing read! Whooo! Lots crap hitting lots of fans! I’m in awe! Thank you, Mr. President! You, sir, are brilliant!!!
Thanks for posting that article. It’s well worth reading. I love when Trump take a wrecking ball to the deep state!
Just close down the entire agency.
That is why you are a former ,
This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move. “This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
Clearly can’t think. Be gone.
“Talk? No, Mr Bond, I expect you to DIE!”
“I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
Answer – Most snakes die after the head is cut off.
I don’t want them put on leave. I want them terminated. Security clearances revoked. The employee ID numbers and Social Security numbers flagged so they do not get hired again.
I want a list of relatives of each person who works in any capacity for the federal government. Flag those ID’s as well.
Scrub it clean and Make America Great Again.
MAGA
Damn bruv. You rough.
Indeed. But I think he’s on to something.
Oh, I completely agree with him.
As Dan Bongino says, “Cutsy time is over!”
Some family lineages are more menacing than others.
Just saying.
I think the leave thing has to do with personnel policies and procedures. He’s on the road to getting rid of as many as possible.
The last time I saw a useless bunch of lackluster employees was at a DMV office. I sure hope all government employees are paying attention.
Here, watch this. You’ll understand. It’s 2A centric, but it applies to all federal agencies. It’s called “The Plum Book”
Mark Smith spells it out very well!
You can find a description here. https://www.govinfo.gov/collection/plum-book?path=/GPO/United%20States%20Government%20Policy%20and%20Supporting%20Positions%20%2528Plum%20Book%2529
But you really need to see the video.
So this is what it looks like to go to Washington DC and say enough!
From this action at USAID to the freezing of Federal disbursements from various programs, Trump has closed the valves controlling the outflow of our taxpayer dollars, saying “prove to me that we NEED to spend that dollar”.
MSM is reporting “confusion” in DC and States, etc. Well of course there is confusion, this has not happened before.
No confusion whatsoever. We are so damn tired of being robbed. I am forever grateful to President Trump.
Agreed, no confusion here either. All of the confusion is in the minds of those who have been feeding at the Federal trough – and thought the cash flow would never stop.
Amen!!!
And Buraq doesn’t get a fourth term.
confusion means that they never saw it coming. If they had seen it coming, they would’ve punched LawFare into action before the ink on POTUS’ signature was dry. Our Very Stable Genius is several steps ahead of the Deep State! YAY!!
MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Uh oh, lots of that cash gets cycled back to Uniparty pockets, and they won’t be pleased.
Trump knows that USAID cash and the foreign spending bills are a rich source of Uniparty personal and campaign cash. Kill that and the Uniparty is crippled.
When they impeached Trump over a flippin phone call, that demonstrated how threatened these crooks are by sunlight. That Ukraine cash is the motherlode.
Right you are, Mr. Trump.
With that said, is this his signal to the Senate that Gabbard, RFK, and Patel better get an up vote lickity split?
Don’t forget the big one! the NGOs! A vast number of them!.
All I got on this one is lol!!
“The cuts have left many offices within the agency entirely devoid of senior non-political leadership.”
So nothing has changed.
There is no such thing as non political leadership in DC.
BINGO.
It’s all political. And corrupt.
SecState and immediate reports are the political leadership. The minions — foot soldiers — many hired by Powers are the subject of this action. VERY positive IMHO
I wondered why that SES (deep state) Executive Order would come into play!
Apparently, they let the janitors stay. These are all that is needed before closing up shop and selling the building.
“This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
President Trumps knows, as do we, and that’s all that counts. Screw you and your color revolutions!
hahahahahahahah
And he’ll be coming for voting reform too. Some of these same head honchos were neck deep in election rigging.
Promises Made, Promises Kept!
PMPK.
Maybe now other countries can have free and fair elections. Void of CIA (US) influence. We will have to see what the EU does. Also would like to be a fly on the wall at the CIA.
Not just Hungary affected but on a more immediate timescale Serbia, then Kosovo and many more ex Warsaw Pact countries.
There must be a degree of panic in USAID offices all over the World (probably even more of those than US bases 🙂 ) as to whether this and next month’s pay is safe.
Serbia’s Pm just stepped down. I’d like to know who applied pressure since he is “Putin friendly”.
Being that Yahoo is a total train wreck of a leftist rag, I look at all this with a sideways look. Who organized the protests and why is a question of who tells the story I suppose.

Terrific Tuesday! 🎉 🥳 👍
So much good news, today. Wow.
I had forgotten what winning feels like! 😉
Nice touch (//sarc) how the media describes DEEP STATE operatives employed 2016 to 2020, who act as if they were friends of the President, as … “former Trump staffers”.
“This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
Well DUH. It’s obvious – President Trump is removing the cancer. He decapitated the dragon. Any other expression you want to apply. The leadership was a rogue silo, pursuing its own agenda contrary to the direction of the President.
“Talk? No, Mr Bond, I expect you to DIE!”
😈
I wish he could do the same with all the people committing vote count fraud.
Funding ballot fraud is getting harder and harder for the blob
“I don’t know what they hope to accomplish buy it”….lol. Most pretending not to know statement ever. 8 days of WINAMINS overdose! It’s glorious!
Mission accomplished.
Trust God.
Fear not.
We will need a 12 step group: My name is Bob and I’m powerless over winamins, powerless over reading about winamins.
Bravo PT, Bravo
Keep kicking their azz………
Now declassify without redactions the COMMS and show the world how they conspired to undermine and oust a sitting US President and Presidential candidate.
We’re coming Dbg Eisen.
*Dbg is shorthand for douchebag.
USAID America last operation. Winning!
Just keep removing the garbage and clutter. People should be worried about what was a career. The only people who seem to be getting fired have shown total disregard for our constitution and human rights.
KEEP TAKING OUT THE TRASH!!
Nous les jetons dans la camion poubelle du President Trump!
OUAIS!!
m’excuses, ‘le camion poubelle du President Trump‘!
Compris!
““This is a huge morale hit,” said a former senior Trump administration official who was also told of the move.”
No surprise that Politico would dig up a former and senior Trump official to tell us how morale at USAID has dropped like a stone…but that official must be very former and not very senior if he/she had to be told of the move like the rest of us!
Poor Samantha Power, down and out, hungry in Hungary…presumably with Linda Ronstadt singing Poor, pitiful me in the background as she cries, “I’m melting, I’m melting, how could you destroy my beautiful wickedness?”
The image conjured in my mind is a pack of dogs bloodied by the carcasses of their victims.
Their avarice has left them blind to the great harm they have caused the entire world.
As they skulk away the blood trail will follow them into the dark recesses of their existence.
Every justification will be laid bare, every compromise, and then the truth will come out.
That is where we will find them, weak and afraid, because they know we know what they did.
They would have to have a conscious for your scenario to play out. Psychopaths lack a conscious by definition. They do not care about the harm they have done. They only care that they did not succeed. They will retreat to somewhere where they will blame others, but especially PDJT, and nurse their grievances and plot their revenge.
Mercy shown to psychopaths is, in their minds, a display and admission of weakness. There can be no mercy for the leadership.
I believe that the offer of 8 months’ severance is a chance for the misguided or deceived ones to make a fresh start. There will be no mercy for the Deep State.
I believe this because POTUS is doing this for his grandchildren and ours. This is a “zero sum” game and POTUS has been strategizing a long time.
President Trump said stop spending and they blatantly disregarded his directive.
FAFO
Crushing his enemies and seeing them driven before him
“Our enemies.”
True
I good method to weed out the varmints. Give a directive that is pro MAGA. He who hesitates, or even whines, is outed and taken out as trash!
FIRE THEM ALL!
TRY THE LAW BREAKERS!
NO MERCY!
Get Samantha Power and her color revolution buddies out immediately.
That digusting woman has cost too much in lives and world stability.
So Samantha, I guess you’ll need a plane ticket home from Hungary now?
Gotta bag it up, no diggity…
Flying cattle car sucks.
Awesome!
How do you like him now?
I’m loving it!
Trump is dismantling the deep state one by one. God bless this man. He knows exactly what to do.
They didn’t see it coming. Too busy destroying the country.
There’s a giant blue/white flag missing from that picture…
Hiding behind all the others.
I have seen this painting many times, and this is the first time I have noticed the baby doll at POTUS Trump’s feet.
now go after the ngo’s video circulating of catholic charities telling illegals how to act when confronted by ice.i think i saw they raked in 3 billion last year.thats 10 bucks from every man woman and child in this country.i want my 10 bucks back.
Absolutely
For the tax paying portion? It’s more like 30 bucks.
As a Catholic, I am appalled. Where were they when NC flooded?
Remember when the Catholic Church had missionaries? That cost 💰 & spread the gospel. They learned how to create a for profit business model in human trafficking since then.
No profit to be made in WNC, so they’re not there.
Elections have consequences.
Truly making America great again. More, please. More.
Not yet tired of winning!!!!!
I’m sure they will get by somehow.
Were they fire or are they just getting a paid vacation?
Hooray! One great thing after another.
Where will they go now?
To other shadowy elements willing to pay for their insider knowledge and connections?
A strategem?
Once a Derp always a Derp.
Definitely need to be followed.
Who will overthrow governments and start wars now?
I am gleeful….giddy….so thrilled with this development. The world needs less US interference in other countries elections, less control of world media, fewer lies and more objectivity.
Today, “Several Ukrainian media outlets are asking their readers for financial support following the suspension of U.S. grant programs by Trump.
In particular, Hromadske and Bilius.info have directly addressed this issue.
“Some of the projects we implement thanks to grants are temporarily on hold. This is why we especially need the support of each and every one of you,” writes Hromadske.
“The agency (USAID) covered a significant portion of our activities as well. Therefore, the role of viewer donations is now shifting—from an alternative source to one of the key ones. What will happen in 90 days is unknown to us, but one thing is clear—now is the time to find out if our work is truly needed by Ukrainian society,” writes Bihus.
Ukrainska Pravda and Detector Media have also requested donations, though they did not explicitly cite the suspension of USAID projects as the reason.
“Quality journalism is our voice in the world. If we lose it, we lose the truth. Support those who work for you, here and now,” requested the Detector Media project on its Facebook page yesterday.
The project officially receives most of its funding from sources financed by USAID.
This is what we need to do with our state sponsored propaganda machine, defund NPR.
CSPAN HAS ” Fallen ” Also
imo
“This is the leadership of the agency. This is like taking out all the generals. I don’t know what they hope to accomplish by it.”
You’re about to find out. FAFO
First, remove them from their offices. Put on leave. Check.
Second, impound their (yours and mine) computers and do a forensic audit.
Third, travel where the evidence takes you.
Keep on firing! I just read where a fed judge put a hold on Trumps. “Federal spending freeze”
wth!
Judges have no play on spending…time to rid us of unconstitutional ruling judges….
” NO JOHNSON ” Johnson HAS TO HOLD Impeachment Hearings on These Judges that ARE
EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL
President Trump’s USAID action also highlights the failure of Congress to pursue meaningful oversight authority.
Surely, you’re joking! Of course they are going to oversee themselves lining their own pockets with percentages of all money going to “foreign aid.” /s
Wondering how many Eastern European countries might call for new elections, now that the USA’s Samantha Powers will not be rigging their elections! PLEASE make sure Samantha Powers and her husband Cass Sunstein is NOT on any federal payroll or security clearance! American ferrets!
