DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Discusses Upcoming ICE Operations Targeting Chicago

Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appears on CBS Face the Nation to discuss ongoing efforts to remove illegal aliens from our nation. The conversation starts with CBS Ed O’Keefe asking about upcoming ICE efforts scheduled to take place in Chicago.

When Ed O’Keefe begins discussing FEMA and the Noem initiative to control costs, he makes the mistake of asking Secretary Noem if she could give him an example of cost cutting.  O’Keefe immediately regrets the question as Secretary Noem begins outlining examples of waste fraud and abuse in FEMA spending. The video and transcript are below. WATCH:

[Transcript] – We begin today with Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, who’s joining us from Florida.

Madam Secretary, thanks for being with us.

KRISTI NOEM (U.S. Homeland Security Secretary): Absolutely, Ed. Thank you for inviting me.

ED O’KEEFE: Yes. Well, we have a lot to discuss.

And we want to start with this, because we’ve learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning on expanding operations in the coming days to Chicago. When are those operations expected to start? And you said in recent days that you’re using the recent deployments in Los Angeles as a model. What does that mean?

Sunday Talks – Brianna Keller vs Sebastian Gorka

CNN’s Brianna Keilar interviewed Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States Sebastian Gorka about the recent shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school during an episode of CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday

As CNN attempts to conflate statistics, Gorka drills the dataset down to school shootings targeting religious schools and children as victims. Within the specific dataset, there is an ideological component to the targeting. WATCH:

Someone Killed Andriy Parubiy – Victoria Nuland’s Former Point of Contact During 2014 Ukraine Maidan Revolution

Previously Chairman, now serving as a member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Andriy Parubiy was shot several times with a short-barreled firearm, police said. Parubiy died on the spot. The perpetrator, who fled the scene and has not yet been identified, was “thoroughly prepared” according to local authorities.

Andriy Parubiy was the primary Ukrainian political activist during Victoria Nuland’s organized Maidan revolution.  In common parlance, this assassination might be considered throwing a bag over a potential risk. Remember, CNN is to the State Dept as the Washington Post is to the CIA.

(VIA CNN) – […] Parubiy participated in 2004’s Orange Revolution, where hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians joined in peaceful protest following disputed elections.

He was also a prominent figure in the Maidan Revolution, a movement which began in November 2013 after then-President Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign a trade pact with the European Union that had been years in the making, opting instead for closer ties with neighboring Russia.

Trump on DNI Gabbard: “By the way, she’s coming along, right?”

We watch and read these interviews not to learn details of events, but rather to gauge President Trump’s awareness of the events as contrast by the information management team around him.

Unfortunately, we have yet to see an approved interview where the interviewer has a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter around their questioning. The Daily Caller’s White House Correspondent Reagan Reese sat down for an hour-long interview with President Trump on Friday to repeat the pattern.

[(L-R) President Trump, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Daily Caller journalist Reagan Reese] 

[READ THE INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT HERE]

We pull the following quote from the transcript and ponder the ramifications against all previous research into the information control dynamic.

When discussing the activity of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, President Trump replies: “By the way, she’s coming along, right?”

Senator Eric Schmitt Discusses “Russiagate” and COVID-19 Weaponization

Former Missouri AG and current Senator from Missouri Eric Schmitt, appears on the Glenn Beck podcast to discuss his perspectives on Russiagate, government weaponization and the background of COVID-19 as he discovered it through lawsuits against the Biden administration.

Senator Schmitt offers a balanced and stable viewpoint as he gives background to his own investigation into how the Biden administration weaponized all the agencies of government to control information and silence dissent. It is an interesting discussion.

At the 23:00 point, Schmitt begins to talk specifically about the information surfacing as a result of DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts. Schmitt is hopeful for a conspiracy charge against the perpetrators of those who abused their office, falsified information, maintained the targeting of Donald Trump and used the power of government to target their political enemies.

Lawfare Operative Norm Eisen Is Lawyer for Embattled Fed Governor Lisa Cook

I had not been paying close attention to the overarching issues of President Trump removing Fed Governor Lisa Cook for cause – fraudulent filings on her three mortgage applications. However, the appearance of Norm Eisen as her lawyer certainly highlights the political nature of the defense effort.

Norm Eisen is a well-known Lawfare operative, second only to Mary McCord in his high visibility and connections to all of the anti-Trump efforts. Eisen, like McCord, is at the center of the leftist effort to stop the Trump agenda through the manipulation of the courts, ie. ‘Lawfare.’

Norm Eisen left, Abbe Lowell right. Both lawyers for Lisa Cook

WASHINGTON – A federal judge likely will not rule until next week on whether Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve board, can remain in her job despite President Donald Trump’s attempt to fire her.

At the first hearing on Cook’s lawsuit against Trump, U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb grappled with the legal issues raised by Trump’s unprecedented move against Cook but offered few hints about how she might rule. The judge, an appointee of Joe Biden, acknowledged the limits of the courts’ power to question the president’s motives, while expressing concerns about the lack of due process afforded to Cook.
