The Dept of Homeland Security has revoked the Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification for Harvard University, thereby essentially cancelling their ability to enroll foreign students into the school.  Harvard was notified of the status and the letter shared by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

The notification comes the day after Yaron Lischinsky, an Israeli citizen, and Sarah Milgrim, an American woman (a young couple about to be engaged), were gunned down at the Capital Jewish Museum around 9:15 p.m. Wednesday. The suspect Elias Rodriguez, 31 of Chicago, repeatedly yelled, “Free Palestine” when he was arrested.

President Donald Trump’s appointed lead investigator on the DOJ Weaponization Working Group, Ed Martin, appears on a podcast with Mark Halperin to discuss ongoing events around the Trump administration.  Ed Martin is also in charge of the DOJ pardon review and assembly within Main Justice.

Ed Martin was asked by Halprin about the use of the autopen to give presidential pardons during the final months of the Biden administration, against the recent confirmations that Joe Biden was severely cognitively impaired.  Did Joe Biden even know who was getting pardons issued via the use of the autopen writing his signature?

Ed Martin answers by outlining his own questions that he sent via letters to former White House officials.  WATCH (prompted):

Ed Martin notes that Ron Klain, Anita Dunn and Bob Bauer were the gatekeepers within the Biden White House, deciding who would ultimately be allowed to engage within the inner circle.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Put this into two files. (1) The confirmation file that it’s “always about the money;” and (2) The ‘things that make other things’ suddenly make sense file.  Also, I wouldn’t suggest doing much with this, other than making a mental note for y’all deep weeds walkers; after all, we are not much fun at partisan parties when we don’t pretend the corruption gig is one-sided.

Readers here will know well that since the beginning of this year I have asked what’s going on with conservative media and this sudden pro-Qatar stuff they’ve been pushing. [Tucker example and more here]

Well, apparently long before the White House announced a historic ‘first ever’ trip to Qatar, the Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani began telling their lobbyists in DC to reach out to conservative media influencers with lucrative payments to shape a favorable pro-Qatar narrative.

[STORY HERE] “Tucker Carlson was far from Qatar’s only target in its quest to influence conservative media. Established right-of-center outlets like Fox News Digital, Just The News, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, and the Washington Examiner were all targeted to varying degrees by Qatari foreign agents in the months following Trump’s election, records show.”

Things certainly make a lot more sense now.   As the saying goes, “it tracks.”

That said, if Qatar had a media strategy to enhance a foreign policy agenda with the Trump administration, well, that wouldn’t be a surprise; it’s just how things are done.  However, in the background of the puzzling question about how those decades of conservatives correctly calling out Qatar for corruption, and then suddenly overnight changing direction, well, it appears the Qataris just paid them to change.

THEM: ‘Right’ is whatever I’m paid to support.  ‘Wrong” is whatever makes me the most money.

CTH: Right is right even if nobody does it, and wrong is wrong even if everybody does it.

Capiche?

Earlier today President Trump used the Oval Office and the visit by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to call out the horrific violence taking place against white Afrikaner farmers.  The moment in the oval office was the biggest international spotlight every placed on the issue.  Major kudos to President Trump.

President Trump showed Cyril Ramaphosa a video of political activists within South Africa calling for the murder of white farmers, and then later video showing thousands of white crosses erected to call attention to the issue.  Every element of media’s cultural Marxist army has been denying the atrocities while using political correctness as both a cover and justification for the slaughter.   President Trump put a spotlight on years of international lying, Ramaphosa, did not know what to say.  WATCH (prompted):

To give you an example of the DC media gaslighting, consider this phrase extracted from Politico as they attempt to deny what President Trump was outlining:

…”Additionally, the president’s claims of land seizures are exaggerated. While Ramaphosa signed a law earlier this year laying out circumstances in which the state can seize land for public purposes, most landowners are compensated.”… (link)

Land seizures are “exaggerated” because “landowners are compensated.” Can media even hear themselves, or read the typeset they use?

The farmers do not want to sell their land.  The farmers do not want to be “compensated.”   The compensation is irrelevant in the review of seizure.  The forced taking of the land, with or without compensation, is the seizure.

The murder of the white farmers is the issue, not “how many” of them are murdered.

As President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson departed a Republican conference meeting covering the pending legislative vote on the Budget and Tax bill proposal, they paused to talk to media (two videos below).

President Trump is focused on growing the economy, the Republican budget hawks want spending reduced.  President Trump doesn’t want to increase the deduction for State and Local Taxes (SALT), the blue state Republicans demand the red states pay for their state tax policy.  WATCH:

.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump’s Capitol Hill visit comes less than 24 hours before Johnson wants the House Rules Committee to meet and finalize the bill for a floor vote. Johnson told reporters after the meeting that a Wednesday vote “would be optimal” but acknowledged he had to “tie up a few loose ends” with the various factions.

What’s clear is that Trump himself is not interested in stretching out the talks much longer. He said in response to a question from POLITICO that the hard-liners needed to pare back their demands for deeper spending cuts: “I’m a bigger fiscal hawk,” he said. “There’s nobody like me.”

… And Director Gabbard may not know they exist.

If you have followed the construct of the Trump-Russia collusion story, you are likely outraged that accountability has not followed.  There’s a very frustrating reason for that and I will explain how two distinctly different issues are being conflated.  Separating them is the key.

The first issue is the FBI’s illegal surveillance of presidential candidates’, including candidate Donald Trump.  The second issue is the Clinton campaign inspired Russia-Collusion story, that led to Crossfire Hurricane, colloquially known as “Russiagate.”  All investigative emphasis, including John Durham, has been on the latter which takes you into a DC silo construct where all tentacles lead to dead ends and inaction.

Russiagate was a Clinton-inspired political smear campaign that was given the patina of credibility by the FBI opening the investigation called “Crossfire Hurricane.”  If you focus on that storyline, you end up with zero accountability and endless talk that goes nowhere.

However, if President Trump and DNI Tulsi Gabbard reveal the first element, the FBI’s illegal surveillance of candidate Donald Trump, that path has a physical trail and documents that cannot be deflected by political obfuscation.

♦THE FBI SURVEILLANCE – The original agreement between Clinton and Obama going back to 2008 was for Obama to take the nomination, the presidency and then eventually support Hillary Clinton’s 2016 election bid.

Obama would be President. Obama would appoint Clinton to Secretary of State, Hillary would then use her office to build wealth for herself and her family, and then HRC would exit the Dept of State to begin her presidential run.

John Podesta would enter the Obama administration as Hillary left (post Benghazi mess) in 2013.  Podesta would look out for Hillary’s interests from his position inside the Obama White House.  The Clintons and Obamas never fully trusted each other.

Barack Obama would put all the mechanisms into place that would transition his administration into Hillary Clintons’.  That was always the plan running in the background.
