Kristi Noem: We've Now Clawed Back the Illegal Payment of $59 Million to a Pakistan-Owned Hotel to House the Poor and Oppressed of Tren de Aragua
The media's new talking point is that Trump and Musk are presenting claims of fraud "without evidence."
No evidence at all!Not only were we paying double the usual occupancy rates, but this hotel is literally owned by the government of Pakistan.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has successfully clawed back $59 million dollars in payments that were inappropriately sent to house illegal aliens at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City last week. The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan. "Secretary Noem has clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels. FEMA was funding the Roosevelt Hotel that serves as a Tren de Aragua base of operations and was used to house Laken Riley's killer. There will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people," DHS released in a statement Wednesday. The FEMA employees who made the payments have been fired. "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," DHS released in a statement Tuesday. "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."The media keeps demanding "evidence" that the Biden Remnant is spending money fraudulently. The Administration provides them with evidence, and they pretend they didn't see it. I mean that literally. The Democrats brought a blind man connected with an "NGO" who says he doesn't see any fraud, none at all.

They're also now claiming that Trump's claim that Brennan and the 51 Liars signed the false propaganda letter to help Biden is similarly "without evidence." Except for Brennan's emails stating that that is precisely his intention.
Hey @nyt Here’s some evidence: Mike Morell, former acting CIA director to John Brennan, Obama CIA director, asking him to sign the Dirty 51 letter falsely claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation “to give the [Biden] campaign… a talking point to push back on… https://t.co/e7dytCnqZ3 pic.twitter.com/BAWwwxqAl0

@Heminator Joe Biden was allegedly a practicing Catholic who enabled abortion until crowning. And yet, the pope had nothing to say about Biden sanctioning murder. The moral authority of the pope's letter attacking Vance isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

"Trump is just cutting funding he doesn't like. Funding that has no explicit mechanism in statute, he has every right to cut, and he shouldn't be able to cut because non-partisan employees of the federal government have a greater claim on executive authority than the elected president of the United States."

LAWFARE: Before Judge McConnell ordered Trump to restore USAID funding and called him a tyrant he was accused of buying his lifetime judicial appointment.
He spent over $700K contributing to Democrats and funneled thousands to his state's two senators who recommended his appointment to Obama. They refused to recuse themselves from his confirmation vote.

Want to know how Trump is going to hit a body blow on the administrative state?
"Within 30 days of this order Agency heads shall submit to the director of the [OMB] a report that identifies any statutes that establish the agency, or subcomponents of the agency, as statutorial required entities. The report shall discuss whether the agency or any of its subcomponents should be eliminated or consolidated."
Cutting the administrative state back down to the statutory minimum seems to be the goal through Executive action.
That doesn't get put back together again with a series of EOs day 1 of a Democrat presidency.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
Congress can eliminate all of the inferior courts, and create, in their own time, a new set of inferior courts.

Joe Biden was such a conman.
He couldn't "make that decision for you" when he was "pro-life".
But he felt that if he really believed in a woman's reproductive rights, he had to do something about it in law.
He can't make a decision to save a life that he thinks is a life, for you. But he can protect a made-up right, if he really believes in it.
I don't pretend to know that a fetus is a "human life", but I sure as well could protect it if I thought so.

The answer is actually pretty simple. If you make an emergency stop order without an emergency and both sides involved, if the stop order is overturned you must leave the bench at once. Permanently.
If you make one that IS sustained you are enjoined from another one for one calendar year. It still isn't good to not allow one side to argue its case.
Otherwise you are limited to three injunctions in a calendar year aside from routine ones (if any).
This comes mostly from PJ ORourke's kidney rule. That you should have to give up a kidney for making a new law. You can do one easy enough, but two takes a lot of thought.

Benedict was great. His health was failing and he knew he could not keep up the fight. Bold move.
He may also have figured that a liberal Catholic would succeed him, and that this would expose the pedo networks, which it did.
Francis is a valid pope, but a bad one. It happens.
But what he is doing is identifying all the other corrupt clergy through his appointments. It will be much easier to clean house when he goes to get his reward.

When the apostles ignored the gentiles, the Lord himself raised up Paul from Jesus' biggest of persecutors, to send to the Gentiles.
Also, Paul established plenty of churches, which is the literal definition of "apostle".
You can also see in Acts how when the Apostles thought themselves too important to "wait on tables", how Stephen became the biggest influence and threat to the established religious order.

He has no moral authority to make pronouncements about America’s intention to preserve border integrity.
His insistence on THIS ONE THING gives the game away. There’s also a verse in the Bible about serving two masters. In effect, Our Lord said: Don’t do it.

They'd have to be pretty convincing to make theft and fraud Constitutional.
Then you'd impeach them or ignore them. The Republicans did that with the Dredd Scott case. They did not enshrine slavery in all of the territories. They took the narrowest interpretation, that DS himself was affected and nobody else and said they would fix it when they could, which was the XIII amendment.

Then invents separate but equal in Plessy, takes it back halfway in Brown v. Board, creates intermediate scrutiny test from scratch in sex based classifications, decides that discrimination by race is okay to remedy past discrimination in Bakke (and latter Grutter and Gratz) and misconstrues disparate impact statistical analysis as copacetic with the equal protection clause and the CRA of 1964.

Yeah, the "without evidence" and "credibly accused" gaslighting bullshit are derivatives of the "fake but accurate" and "unexpectedly" gaslighting bullshit they trotted out during the Treasonous Regimes of Bubba and Barky.
I saw Bubba and Barky open for Mediocre At Best during Lilith Fair 1997.

Yeah, it's a mess. The substantive due process cases are ... aggravating to try to pull rules from, to say the least.
By the way, I do appreciate you bringing in the knowledge on this stuff. A lot of it is somewhere in the back of my brain, and I'm just going off vague memories, so I really appreciative when you cite case law and bring the actual facts to the table.

There is only one reason I can think of why the Conglomerate did not ass@ssin@te Trump between election and swearing-in. They did some hush-hush surveys of what the US citizenry would do if Trump was taken out. The results were that the Conglomerate would be totally annihilated. So they decided to ride-out Trump47 as best they can.

The demographic and retirement problem will be very hard. Part of the reason I am less worried about China as a rival. They have a lot of power, and wealth but they have issues that will cause a lot of investment to go into the country itself or disorder will result.

316 Hey legal Morons
Is there really a case named President Johnson vs Mississippi from 1866 that explicitly says that no judge can impede a President from carrying out their executive duty?
Posted by: Anna Puma at February 12, 2025 05:22 PM (vBmjk)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_v._Johnson
"The court decided, based on a previous decision of Marbury v. Madison that the President has two kinds of tasks: ministerial and discretionary. Discretionary tasks are ones the president can choose to do or not to do, while ministerial tasks are ones required by his office: those whose failure to perform could leave him in violation of the Constitution. The court ruled that by enforcing Reconstruction, Johnson was acting in an "executive and political" capacity—a discretionary rather than a ministerial one—and so he could not be sued."

Yep, and that is also absolutely chock full of fraud. For some reason, the Chinese love this visa type.
Basically, you get 50 Chinese citizens together to build an apartment building in Queens. You build the cheapest, shittiest building imaginable, because who cares. You employ however many people (on paper) you need to build the place.
The people who bought the visas come here and get employed by the company that built the building (to get some of their investment back).
Rinse, repeat.

As I said yesterday, the judges will regret their stupid injunctions. Already their dirt is being dug up, and the practical impossibility of defending their cases is becoming apparent.

As I've pointed out on X, Trump has said he'll let Bibi decide what the response will be on Saturday, and he'll back him either way. Bibi may decide to accept 3 hostages and wait for more or he may decide war - whichever it is, it's his choice.

I thought about that with Pope Benedict, too. A quiet scholar who called investigated pedophiles and declared them "the sum of the Church". He wrote so clearly about faith that his books were very eye opening to a lot of lukewarm Christians, nit just Catholics. I know people who think he was forced to resign, but they didn't know he was already blind in one eye when he was elected and had already researched the precedent of a papal resignation.
This current pope brought my bff's father back to attending a church. I imagine there are other cases where Francis had a positive effect that only God knows. Plus, I'd never had known the wisdom of Cardinal Sarah if he hadn't had to speak up against the pope's remarks!

Gays used the seminaries as their bath houses while they were underground. Now that they are sucking of the government teer (the only time they would go near one) they are becoming VERY wealthy. The distribution of income for LGBTQetc looks like the wealth distribution for Jews (Indians also have that distribution - theirs is due to racial nepotism). Gays also have sexual nepotism. They give each other high paying jobs.
Under Trump hopefully that gravy train is coming to an end.

Sure looks like it. They're ruling based on emotion and political angst, they really have no constitutional arguments to claim that the Bureaucracy is an independent 4th branch of Government (which is what they believe.
And I believe the SCOTUS has to decide for Trump's position, because to allow every executive decision to be micromanaged by one judge or another is madness.

Major part of the ruling is "The President of the United States cannot be restrained by injunction from carrying into effect an act of Congress alleged to be unconstitutional, nor will a bill having such a purpose be allowed to be filed."
Basically it was a nuisance suit alleging on the behalf of the unreconstructed Mississippi government that Johnson was illegally enforcing the Reconstruction Acts passed by Congress. They sought an injunction to forbid him from doing so and the court rejected that idea by noting faithful execution of the law by the President was involved--not a ministerial act.

Back in the day the Byzantine Emperor selected three candidates for the position of Patriarch of Constantinople which usually meant he could get someone he could work with by having the other two be really stinky.
I don't know the history of the selection to know if this is just a way to keep them from being arrested and martyred. There has been plenty of history of keeping your head down and ignoring politics to serve the congregation as best you can.

I saw a real in-depth study into Jesus' address of Peter, and it was illuminating.
While I've never argued with Catholics for interpreting what they do, I don't agree with the Catholic interpretation and I'm a lot more Sola Scriptura.
I don't' think you can prove that the Bible is literally right on every account, but I believe it is the best way to see what God intended it to mean.
