Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared before the Senate today to discuss the Treasury budget appropriation and respond to questions.

Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chairman Mark Warner could not contain himself and used his time on camera to question Secretary Bessent about something far away from Bessent’s sphere of influence.  Warner began physically shaking and grasping for words to describe his outrage, his apoplexy and fury at the audacity of President Trump to appoint Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

The first half of this segment is glorious.

.

Not since Matt Gaetz nomination to AG have we seen such fits of apoplexy coming from within congress to the interim appointment of a cabinet member in an ‘acting’ capacity.  Forget the sand, the gears of government are reacting to an iron wrench in their machinery.  It’s awesome.

They’ve already threatened to withhold FISA-702 reauthorization, and if we get lucky, they’ll threaten to eliminate the income tax.  (more…)

Oh, this is just awesome news.  Republicans are going bananas. Democrats, led by senate intel vice-chairman Mark Warner are having fits and meltdowns.  All of it because President Trump announced the appointment of Bill Pulte to replace Tulsi Gabbard at the end of the month as Acting DNI.

To make the issues even better, Democrats are now threatening to block FISA-702 reauthorization and stop the warrantless surveillance of American citizens unless Pulte’s appointment is withdrawn.  Yes, read that again slowly if needed – it’s perfect. 🤣😂🤣

WASHINGTON DC – […] Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-Va.) asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Tuesday to use his influence with the White House to reverse Trump’s move to install Pulte as overseer of the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

Warner, who’s been critical in building Democratic support for a bipartisan deal to extend FISA Section 702, made clear to Thune that all options are on the table to reverse what Democrats see as a dangerous Trump pick to lead ODNI. Pulte, who currently leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no national security experience and has used his existing role to exact revenge on Trump’s political foes.

From Warner’s perspective, it’s impossible to convince enough Democrats to support a reauthorization of Section 702 when Pulte would be the one overseeing the program. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has also privately told senators that the Pulte appointment makes passing a FISA deal much more difficult.

California republican candidate Steve Hilton feels good about his position so far while the Associated Press reminds everyone that in California the results change for days and weeks depending on the ballot stuffing within the highly corrupt voting system.

The manipulation of elections is so brazen, they don’t even try to hide it anymore.  AP writes the warning: “California has a history of substantial vote updates after election day that can sometimes shift the outcome of elections as late-arriving mail and drop-off votes are counted.” {source}

Thune defers to Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Tom Cotton, who, obviously, wants maximum control returned to the Central Intelligence Agency, and it is a little funny; visibly funny.  Because in the background -much to the angst of the SSCI- people are starting to realize how this dysfunctional Intelligence Community apparatus actually works.

With Marco Rubio as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State, and John Ratcliffe as Director of the Central Intelligence agency, and Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence, the SSCI has started to lose control over their analyst-centric institutional control mechanisms.

What most Americans don’t yet fully grasp is how ridiculously stupid most of the Intelligence Community actually is.  For two decades, particularly when Team Obama was in charge, the IC qualification that mattered was political ideology.  The IC became a massive network of analysts, who had no functional ability to interpret reality on the ground – regardless of where the intelligence was coming from.

As a consequence, the IC got almost everything wrong as they chased outcomes borne from the brain trust of leadership within the Senate, within the CIA, and within U.S. Dept of State.  Instead of looking at things as they are, the IC always looked at things from the prism of how they wanted it to be. The analysis of the issue flowed from that perspective – regardless of the capability of the Govt institution to create that outcome.

Rubio, Ratcliffe and Gabbard started taking apart that nest of bureaucratic analytical thinking – and focusing on policy that doesn’t come from the Senate.  When you take that approach, the Senate loses control.  SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton is asked about Acting DNI Pulte and hilariously says: “I have no observations on the matter.” WATCH:

There are a blue-zillion important events and storylines happening today; however, John 15:17: “This is my command: Love each other.” A prioritization is needed.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard shares a moment of pause and thankfulness, as together with her husband Abraham Williams she arrives at the hospital to begin surgical treatment for his bone cancer.

“We are getting ready to head to the hospital for my husband’s surgery and just wanted to say thank you so much to all of who have shared messages, prayers and well wishes for Abraham. We are humbled and so grateful to be surrounded by aloha during this really tough time.” (source)

The case of murdered victim Henry Nowak is horrific, and representative of just how far the United Kingdom has fallen.

18-year-old Henry Nowak was violently attacked and brutally stabbed by an Indian man named Vickrum Digwa. When police arrived the attacker claimed the victim called him racist names.  The police then handcuffed the bleeding victim and told him he was under arrest.

Henry Nowak continually told police he had been stabbed by Digwa and could not breathe.  The police didn’t believe him, and fraught with political correctness that demands they protect the minority rights of the Indian attacker, the U.K. police read the victim his rights and dragged him over the ground. Henry Nowak bleed to death and died as a result of his stab wounds.

The police laughed at the white male victim and mocked Henry Nowak while he died.

Eventually, the police realized the Indian man Vickrum Digwa was -indeed- the attacker and video evidence showed young Nowak was attacked and stabbed at random.  Digwa was arrested and forced to stand trial.  With overwhelming evidence against him, he was convicted of murder.  Following the conviction Henry Nowak’s father gave a press statement.  WATCH:

When the public found out during trial that police had actually handcuffed the victim and ignored his pleas for help, outrage grew.

The entire case is stunning in just how messed up Great Britain really is.  The police never even handcuffed the attacker, even after they found out he was guilty of murder. Then, adding salt to the wound of the entire matter, Digwa’s defense team sought to shift blame for the murder from their violent client to the politically correct police.

The Nowak family was barred from speaking about the murder and the police conduct during the trial.  However, as evidence in the trial was shown, the public found out about it.  Demands for release of the officer’s body camera footage were made. No one could believe what they were hearing.  The police and courts refused to release the footage until public and political pressure became just too much.

The body-cam footage is below.

Armed with a host of narratives against the Trump administration, CNN host Dana Bash confronts Interior Secretary Doug Burgum about his audacity to support Freedom 250 events in Washington DC this year.  Apparently, it is not in alignment with the interests of CNN for Americans to celebrate the anniversary of our independence.

Complaining about DC fountains being cleaned; complaining about people not being consulted for their viewpoints to permit the graffiti and filth to remain in place prior to cleaning; complaining that years of environmental studies and municipal hearings did not take place prior to the decision to repair the reflection pool; complaining about saving hundreds of millions by not opening up each restoration process to consultancy fees, studies, public hearings and various bureaucratic indulgency opportunities; a very unhappy Dana Bash confronts Interior Secretary Doug Burgum about his support for President Trump to clean and restore the nation’s capital without consideration for those who prefer things to be a mess.

The continual message from President Trump to President Claudia Sheinbaum has been clear, ‘clean it up or possibly we will’, as Trump has publicly and repeatedly said Sheinbaum and the Mexican government were under the control of Mexican cartels.

Following the daring capture of Venezuela dictator Nicholas Maduro, Mexican President Sheinbaum took notice.  In the past few months dozens of government officials and cartel members have been targeted, arrested, indicted, extradited and removed from positions of influence.

Today, Mexican Security Minister Omar García Harfuch announced the arrest of Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián (pictured left).

(Bloomberg) — Mexican authorities detained the mayor of a historic city near the capital, the latest move designed to show the government is rooting out corrupt politicians from its ranks.

Cuautla Mayor Jesús Corona Damián was arrested Saturday, Security Minister Omar García Harfuch wrote in a post on social media platform X. An arrest warrant had been issued by the general prosecutor’s office on May 20.

Corona was on the run in recent days, after the security ministry announced in May the arrests of other top officials in Morelos State. The moves are part of a broader operation under President Claudia Sheinbaum, who took office in 2024 with an anti-corruption message, to nab dozens of politicians taking part in extortion scams and with alleged ties to broader crime rackets.

“With this operation, more than 85 officials and former officials have been detained, including seven mayors currently in office,” García Harfuch said on X. “The government of Mexico maintains a policy of zero impunity regarding any links between authorities and criminal groups.”

President Trump must be increasingly frustrated by the mindset of the opposition in Washington DC who demand the old, broken and ill maintained buildings and venues must be left in a state of decay.  The opposition to making America great again is strongest in our nation’s decaying capital. Alas, that sentiment is representative of the ideological mindset of those who prefer filth and depression.

Speaking from his Truth Social account, President Trump responds to a judicial order [Read pdf Here] demanding the Kennedy Center be left to fall apart, until congress takes action to restore it.

PRESIDENT TRUMP – “Shockingly, a Judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, Christopher Cooper, ruled that The Kennedy Center, which was going to close in early July for largescale renovations and construction due to years of neglect, decay, and poor maintenance, and which was to be transformed by the Trump Administration into the Finest Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World, is not allowed to close for these renovations, which would not be possible to properly do without such a closure. Additionally, Judge Cooper ruled that the 36 Member Board of Trustees, which unanimously voted to add the name “TRUMP” onto the former Kennedy Center, making it The Trump Kennedy Center, did not have the right to do such an addition, and the name, “TRUMP,” must be removed.”
