Former USAID Administrator Samantha Power, the architect of the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine (R2P) traveled to CBS HQ in New York for a late-night television appearance with Stephen Colbert.   The purpose of Power’s appearance was to defend the institutional interests of her former agency, as USAID comes under scrutiny for ridiculous spending and manipulation of foreign and domestic politics.

Mrs. Power does her very best Sally Stuthers impersonation as she claims the only purpose of USAID is to facilitate charity and life-saving public health in “underserved nations” around the world.  Colbert never asked her, if true – then why spend time in healthy Hungary and well-fed Europe? I digress.

Similarly, if the mission of USAID is as Mrs. Power described, then why was she never describing that ‘humanitarian relief’ type of activity in all of her self-promotion videos that she distributed during her travel.  I am going to post a short example below the Colbert video so you can watch it, listen to what Power says in her own words about her objective, and then contrast that against the USAID mission as she proclaims on Late Night television.

Below is USAID Administrator Samantha Power traveling Europe talking about her priority mission on behalf of USAID.  Contrast her remarks on Colbert with her actual remarks during her travels.  Notice her emphasis on “building media,” how many starving children in the Sudan are fed by building out a media influence system in Europe?

As noted in the visible scale of media panic, Washington DC federal officeholders (many in their pajamas as they work from home) are having fits of apoplexy as the Trump administration bears down on accountability.

As Politico puts it, “Congressional Democrats seem flummoxed by the pace, responding to crises from three news cycles ago while new ones keep arising in real time.”  Apparently, things continue to proceed according to plan, the DC system is overwhelmed by the pace of President Trump’s administrative deconstruction.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe appears on CNN to discuss the “utter disarray” as Trump administration officials enter and engage the protected silos from every vulnerable position.

“I’ve talked to more FBI people in the last 4 days than I did in the prior 4 years.” “It is a place in utter disarray right now. People are worried about how am I going to pay the bills? How am I gonna support my family?” “If you get fired, you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job, you lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension, you lose your health insurance.” “This is a moment of terror for these people.”  WATCH:

Keep in mind, these are the people who weaponized the NSA database to conduct political surveillance.

The Dept of Justice was weaponized to target their political opposition.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was weaponized to act as the police investigative units for those targets.

The Dept of Homeland Security was weaponized to control the evidence and information about their political targeting and surveillance.

The IRS was weaponized against Obama’s political opposition.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was weaponized to allow the targeting radar to sweep internally against American citizens under the guise of national security and domestic terror threats.

Shortly after midnight the DOJ released a 134-page volume 1 report [SEE HERE] outlining a political narrative used by the Biden Dept of Justice in their targeting effort of President-elect Donald Trump.

We are reading it along with you in real time and will have more analysis following complete review. In the interim, everyone knows the timing and release of this report is being done as part of a sequential series of steps intended to undermine the administration of incoming President Donald Trump.

The Lawfare approach is now familiar to everyone.  Lawfare is a process of influencing public opinion of a target, through the use of the judicial system.  The report is pure lawfare under the guise of a Special Counsel investigation.

The notoriously political Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. That’s it. That’s the sum of motive and intent. To create a narrative.

That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. Few people care about the issues and the entire case is likely to be thrown out on a host of appeal reasonings.

The audio from the court sentencing hearing is below.

As if the people in/around the Los Angeles area didn’t have enough to worry about.  Apparently, the entire population of 9.6 million residents was mistakenly told to evacuate their homes around 4pm local time, according to Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn.

The emergency alert was supposed to be for a specific region ‘impacted by the Kenneth Fire in Woodland Hills.‘  However, someone sent the alert to every resident in the greater Los Angeles region, creating massive anxiety and exacerbating an already tense situation.

[SOURCE]

Officials in the region have been getting blasted by residents for their abject incompetence in controlling the fires and keeping residents up to date. The results of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) running amok in local and regional government appointments is having real consequences.

As you contemplate the past few months, something very important to remember.  Approximately 70 million people cast ballots to support Kamala Harris for President.  Keep that in mind while watching this.

Kamala Harris speaks to an audience at Prince George’s Community College in Maryland.  WATCH:

NEW: Kamala Harris shocks herself after thinking she said something smart while dropping her famous “context in which you exist” line.

I must say, this was impressive.

“And as we approach and I ask you to remember the context in which you exist.”

“Yeah, I did that,” Harris… pic.twitter.com/6XZrWYg7d7

How anyone can watch Kamala Harris assemble words out loud, and then pretend she is organizing thoughts into cognitive sequencing that makes any form of sense, is just literally silly.   Harris is not a person of stable mindset, with commonly held definitions of intelligence or commonsense; she just isn’t.

I am so glad Obama 3.0 was not installed.

If President Trump could succeed in getting the Des Moines Register and Ann Selzer to the point of discovery in the lawsuit, he would win- BIG TIME. However, getting a judge to allow Trump as a plaintiff to advance a lawsuit to the level that would expose the fraud, is a very uphill battle.

Intellectually honest people know exactly what happened. Ideological political operatives in/around Ann Selzer’s polling operation, perhaps even Ann Selzer herself, manufactured, meaning completely fabricated, a polling outcome of Kamala Harris +3 in the final weekend before the November election.

It likely wasn’t an actual poll per se’, and no one is even sure if any voters were contacted; however, the assembled data analysis was sold as a genuine poll outcome. The poll was 16 points wrong. The claimed Kamala +3 poll was actually Trump +13 in the voter result in Iowa. Quit Pretending – Pollsters don’t miss by 16 points unless they are trying to miss by 16 points.

Selzer didn’t get it wrong or make a mistake. With malicious intent and malice of forethought, Selzer created a fraudulent narrative using a manufactured poll to push it.

If Trump could get to the emails, text messages and various communications from the people in/around Selzer’s polling operation, he would find the explosive planning and coordination in the background. But I doubt it’s going to get that far; a judge will likely try and stop it.

The motive for the poll was simple. In the final days of the Kamala campaign, they were pushing the abortion message as hard as possible to get out the votes. The Iowa +3 poll was the launch vehicle where Selzer proclaimed that a “MASSIVE UPSWING” in Iowa women suddenly shifted the entire race as the women were showing up inside the data to support Kamala.

The corporate media ran with that shock polling narrative on Saturday, Sunday and Monday before election day on Tuesday. It was all nonsense, and Ann Selzer knew it. That’s why Trump is suing her.

As New York City continues to devolve into a leftist mess, a result of entrenched ideological control over the functions of government, the police agencies and the court system, Democrat Mayor Eric Adams realizes he’s going to be governing over the ashes unless something changes.

Mayor Adams met with Border Czar Tom Homan today and exits the discussion in full operational support of Homan’s intent, the capture and removal of criminal aliens.  During his remarks outlining why he supports the effort, Mayor Adams notes 500,000 children are missing and likely subjected to various levels of alarming exploitation.

This is stunning, yet in a way not unexpected all things considered.

We previously outlined how Make Romania Great Again candidate Călin Georgescu came out of nowhere and won the first round in the presidential election. {GO DEEP}

The U.S. and EU heads went bananas at the surprise upset.

Georgescu is a nationalist, and his ideological outlook is the exact opposite of what the EU/U.S want to see. As a consequence, appeals were made to Brussels to intervene and simultaneously inside Romania the election results were reviewed by the court.

Last Monday the Romanian courts validated the first-round results, affirming their legitimacy.  However, on Friday with information provided by CIA and various intelligence services, just two days before the second round of voting, the same court annulled the election results, threw out the votes, and now say another election must take place.

The EU intelligence services apparently said social media platforms like TikTok were to blame for Georgescu’s surge in popularity.  His voters violated customs and norms of regular media that are used to control political outcomes in Romania, and therefore the election result cannot be allowed to stand.  The people in Romania are stunned at the intervention, and no political party agrees with it.

ROMANIA – […] The Constitutional Court in its published decision cited the illegal use of digital technologies including artificial intelligence, as well as the use of “undeclared sources of funding.” It said one candidate received “preferential treatment on social media platforms, which resulted in the distortion of voters’ expressed will.”

Georgescu slammed the verdict as putting “democracy is under attack.”

Anytime the professional leftists lose anything, they immediately become victims.  Whether defeated in the battle of ideas (retreat to safe spaces), defeated in the field of pop culture, or even defeated linguistically through debate (words are violence).  Whenever the professional left loses, they immediately become victims.  It’s what they do.

The professional political left, newest version from the Chicago spawn of Dohrn/Ayers, has been waging full combat Lawfare via a weaponized government for the past 16 years.  However, Obama/Plouffe were defeated, “their kind” rose again and won the 2024 U.S. Presidential election.

What we see in this “preemptive pardon” narrative, is a repeat of the victim narrative.  This time the White House discussion boils down to ‘Lawfare agents must be protected from any retaliation for their action’.  Pardons presumably provide the mechanism to protect the victims.  In the big picture of ideology, this is a continuation of the same mindset.

Politico started the narrative with an outline {SEE HERE} saying the White House was having an internal debate as to whether Joe Biden should preemptively issue pardons to members of the J6 committee, members who constructed false impeachment accusations, members within the DOJ who fabricated political cases using the Special Counsel process, or generally people on the political left who supported/facilitated all the aforementioned false attack fronts.

As the narrative is told, all those who supported the attacks against President-Elect Trump and his allies, now need to be protected from “retribution.”  Inherent in the argument, and within the use of pardons, is the baseline that some form of illegal activity was taking place.  Heck, if it wasn’t unlawful conduct, then no pardon would be needed.  This is the political catch-22 created by the preemptive pardon narrative.
