Kristi Noem and Trump Fire the FEMA CFO Who Defied Trump's Order and Illegally Sent $59 Million to Luxury Hotels to Shelter Illegal Aliens
Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson BREAKING: This is Big. Senior DHS Official has just confirmed to me that FEMA's Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans was just fired for illegally funding migrant luxury hotels in NYC against the orders of President Trump. Comans is arguably most powerful person at FEMA, controlling billions in funding. "Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants. Firings include FEMA's Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist.
Under President Trump and Secretary Noem's leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people." This is an earthquake

Valid (re defense.) The thing is, you do not get second chances and history is brutal. It is interesting. What happened to Hooker does have a correlation to what I brought up about Pharsalus. Pompey had ALL of the advantages. BUT. As soon as Caesar's hidden spearmen routed his flanking cavalry, Pompey could not believe what was happening. He could probably have still won, but he was in almost the exact same state as Hooker was.

PATCO wanted a shorter work week and a $10,000/raise.
Reagan said no. PATCO went on strike. Endangering travelers. Reagan said get back to work or be fired. PATCO held firm and alas so did many controllers. So they were fired and banned from Federal service until Clinton lifted the ban.

As a 27 year Emergency Manager, there is no fixing this beast and all Emergency mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery needs to go back to the states. Let the Feds dole out fed money to states when needed from an office/department judiciously with strict oversight. If a state like California wants to play games and dick around, no $$$ and they can fund they own recovery or demise.

1. Impeachment. More easily said than done, but if the GOP wasn't a grundle of soy-sucking hermaphrodites, it could be a real option.
2. Defund. I'm not sure how judges and courts get their funding, but it has to originate somewhere with Congress. So cut and defund. Starve the cannibals.
3. Investigate. Turn their endless lawfare against them. And not just them. Investigate their spouses, children, grandchildren, nannies and pool boys. They did this to us. Time for some payback. I'm sure some are truly dirty.
4. Harass and annoy. Make their lives miserable. Get in their faces. They did this to us. Time for some payback.
5. The most extreme option? Cancelling the entire court, firing everyone, and starting over. Congress created the court system below the Supreme Court. It can uncreate it too.

Judges are not above the law... even when sitting on the bench.
18 USC 1324, aiding and abetting illegals could be charged against a sitting Judge, whose orders clearly aid and abett.

As I noted previously, the congressional GOP had a retreat to discuss how they were going to handle budgeting and priorities for the new congress, one proposal was to get back to regular order, small tailored spending bills and everything going through regular committees and amending, the other proposal was to ram through one massive CR.
Guess which side won out?

There was a big scandal here in Oregon when the Department of Agriculture built themselves a new headquarters. They took over like 5 acres of downtown land, put a building on 1/4 of it, built of marble and etched glass with then-top of the line computers. It cost the most of any state building effort ever before in history. Basically they got themselves a sweet budget and spent it all.
Part of the cost was moving "historic" homes that used to be in the area, picked them up and moved them on truck to a new location.

A bunch of sources have indicated they were freaked out by the WH staff-tards telling them the Dems intended for only 2-3 large, entirely government controlled AI companies to manage strictly censored AI platforms - and that it would be outright banned for everyone else.
Now we get more details that dozens of AI startups were torpedoed by debanking the companies AND THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE OWNERS when they refused to play censorship-ball with the WH.
Even the rich left leaning squishes in Silicon Valley understand that's too much.
Unspoken, though, and a conjecture on my part... in 2010-14 the Tea Party got crushed by military/government network analysis programs. I am pretty sure some AI shit has been abused since then for similar purposes.

Part of what is causing that is that the Senate only allows two reconciliation bills per Congress which destroys the veto hold that Senate Dems have. So, the question is really one bill or two to do everything that is germane under the Senate Parliamentarian's ruling over what is fiscal and what is not. That includes keeping the current tax cuts in place.
Congress is not even passing authorizations or re authorizations anymore which means technically a lot of the current spending is in fact illegal according to Budget guidance laws. Our budget became dysfunctional because Congress became dysfunctional and our Congress is dysfunctional because our society has let it become so.

Government is corrupt by nature. It will become corrupt, again, the minute it's not being pruned. That is the lesson.
You won't tame government, or control it, to do good things with great amounts of money by uniforms and oaths and rules.
Every time you choose to create an agency, or send it money, you start a cycle of corruption. No agency is a "global force for good". Not the police. Not the military. Not - anything.
Never forget it.

Doesn't really matter. Conspiracy to deprive citizens of their rights and/or to penalize them for exercising those rights is a serious crime. If I am not mistaken, it can carry the death penalty if it involves kidnapping or death.

Everything done by executive order can be reversed by executive order. In a matter of weeks. Unless congress starts to cut budgets, remove departments, and officially reverse policy and previous law... none of this sticks. Nothing Trump does matters in the long run.
Its much harder to gets laws passed than to reverse an executive order. All those fired people can easily be re-hired. All those budget cuts can be restored unless congress changes the laws.

We are literally in the same stage as was depicted in the movie.
Apparatchiks (a good Soviet word) from the Brezhnev days were burrowed into all levels of government. Gorbachev was trying to fix the place but the whole state excepting maybe the army was arrayed against him, to keep their own petty privileges. Also he'd only been in there for a few months, unless you count Andropov as the beta run of glasnost (which you probably shouldn't).

Its much harder to gets laws passed than to reverse an executive order. All those fired people can easily be re-hired. All those budget cuts can be restored unless congress changes the laws.

You're purposely ignoring the opposite - its so much easier to build a bureaucracy than it is to herd 538 cats that don't care into voting to reform a bureaucracy.
No laws will fix a damn thing from Congress, because no laws will come out of Congress fixing a damn thing. The only option is to go scorched earth on DC. And its so much easier to destroy than build, as we're seeing now.

yes, impeachment as soon as humanly possible and if doable withdrawal of any gov't pension they might have and a forbidden to hire by the Federal gov't restriction placed on them.

Yes and no.
Just logistically it's a hell of a lot easier to tell 5000 people to take a fucking hike and have security bar them from the building than it is to re-staff those 5000 positions, as you're never going to get all of them to just come back on January 21, 2029. Hiring, reconstituting staffs, figuring out where everything even IS after four years, etc.

They thought the CO case against Trump to keep him off the primary ballot was a slam dunk case against Trump.
CO lost that case 9-0. Not even noted idiot Sotomayor could agree.
The dancing of leftists on X about the viability of cases has no relation to the case's actual ability to pass even Sotomayor's judgment.
