The crowd erupts into cheers as President Donald Trump arrives to enter the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J, to attend UFC 316.  WATCH:

No Elon. No JD.  But Marco Rubio is beside him.

Subtle, like a brick through a window.

This is super interesting on multiple levels.  Several key issues are rapidly approaching an inflection point at the same time.  Urgency scale 1-10: Trade deals (5), BBB (9), Russia-Ukraine conflict (9) and now domestic ICE operations which will require intervention against California (9).

In addition, thanks to work by National Security Advisor Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the corrupt Intelligence Community network has taken several hits below the waterline.

From a White House official to traveling press: “On Sunday, the President will depart Bedminster and spend the night at Camp David before returning to the White House on Monday. The White House has organized what will become a regular off campus retreat of principals attended by the President and Vice President. They will meet on a number of issues and topics.” (source)

It’s a smart move.

Remember, it’s Team MAGA facing down DC.

Quiet time, in a casual format, for tight, secure team-building focus on specific high priority issues as they increase in urgency.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced it is not his job to enforce the law, protect the citizens of California or provide for domestic tranquility.  He is giving the rioting mob carte blanche to continue the chaos:

As a consequence of the mayor, police commissioner and now Governor abdicating their responsibility to retain law and order, President Trump is now coordinating a full federal response to assist the citizens of Los Angeles.

Currently only DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Sec of State/Nat Sec Advisor Marco Rubio are rising to the challenge.  As collaborating NSA and DNI, they are slowly -but effectively- deconstructing the corrupt Intelligence Community tools.   DHS Secretary Kirsti Noem is also doing an effective job, but her focus is narrower on the IC elements.

Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi and John Ratcliffe need to get their ass in gear!

Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum.  This point is where many people understandably get confused.

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system.  This is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.

Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01.  DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.  When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.

After President Trump had a direct telephone call with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping, President Trump announced from the Oval Office that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet with their counterparts from China again, only this time Bessent and Greer will be accompanied by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

President Trump repeated the same announcement via Truth Social:  “I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal. The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

While each of the trade Wolverines have teeth, Howard Lutnick is the enforcer. The issue surrounds prior promises made in Geneva to Bessent and Greer on the continuation of mined and refined rare earth minerals from China needed in batteries.

The addition of Lutnick is akin to President Trump saying, go ahead and make the promise again – only this time Lutnick will be there to spell out the consequences of inaction.

Anyone who was following politics in 2007 and 2008 knows exactly what role the SEIU (Service Employees International Union) played in supporting candidate Barack Obama.

As Obama and Hillary Clinton battled for control of the Democrat apparatus, Barack made a deal with SEIU President Andy Stern. If the purple orcs would activate -violently if needed- on Obama’s behalf, when he became President Obama would remove the healthcare liability from the union retirement by creating nationalized healthcare, Obamacare.

Andy Stern agreed to the deal, marshalled his orcs and that was the army the Chicago machine used to defeat the Clinton machine. It was a bloody battle, and in the aftermath the PUMAs were born (Public Unity My Ass). SEIU President Stern became the #1 White House visitor to see Obama in 2009 and 2010, and the rest as they say is history.

The Chicago machine behind Obama is deeply enmeshed with classic communist objectives. In descending level of ideological severity, you will note: SEIU, AFSCME, AFL-CIO and the UFCW. All of these labor organization are open borders activists, radical leftists with severe ideological leadership who know how to weaponize their membership to act as ‘shock troops’ within the U.S. political system.

That’s the background for the SEIU to align with La Raza and attack the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials on Los Angeles yesterday and today.

With Democrats out of power in DC all the foot soldiers have once again been activated to achieve political objectives.  ICE is the convenient target, but the larger objective is to create street level crisis similar to the BLM riots in 2020 and get back into power.  Violence is once again accepted in order to achieve their political goals.  The media runs cover for the violence, continually downplaying it – even as it gets worse.

Vice President JD Vance joins Theo Von to talk about the Elon Musk fallout, the debate over what’s actually in the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the night he watched Gladiator 2 in the White House movie theater.

The interview was happening on Thursday as President Trump and Elon Musk were having a very visible public conflict. At 18:30 Vance notes how this interview will air after the public is much more aware of the backstory.  WATCH:

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 †

In a 6-3 decision with the DEI justices disagreeing, the Supreme Court ruled today that appointed members from the Dept of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can access Social Security records for review.  [Decision Pdf Here]

This is a big win for those concerned about waste, fraud and abuse within the government because the SSA facilitates approximately $1.3 trillion in payments from the treasury each year.  The Social Security Administration is the largest expenditure of taxpayer receipts in the entire government.

I’m going to continue noting the pattern of Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson on the court decisions because her installation was the most transparently political operation in SCOTUS history.  Karine Jean-Pierre was to Biden’s White House Press Secretary, as Kamala Harris was to the position of Vice President, and as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is to the Supreme Court.

KBJ is not very intelligent, not even remotely, and it is highly doubtful she is the actual author of all her dissenting opinions.  Behind the facade that KBJ represents we will likely discover the Lawfare network.

As we outlined since January 6, 2021, the Biden nomination/appointment of Brown-Jackson to the Supreme Court was a foregone conclusion, the only issue was the timing {GO DEEP}.  The 10th Anniversary of Trayvon Martin provided the opportunity. In order for Obama/Clyburn to get to KBJ, they had to shift Merrick Garland out of his judicial chair. That’s the reason we had Attorney General Merrick Garland, while Deputy AG Lisa Monaco ran Main justice.
