Karoline Leavitt's First Press Briefing Features a Roll Call of the Criminal Aliens The Democrats Protected for Decades and Who Trump Has Now Arrested

Here was her opening.

Karoline Leavitt's inaugural press briefing is rubbing the arrests of Undocumented Democrats in the corrupt communists' faces.

She finally gave a government answer on the drones over NJ -- and it's what most of us figured.

What was the Usurper Zombie's game with making a mystery about it?

She noted that Trump has done more in his first 100 hours than Biden did in his last 100 days.

Leavitt told the corrupt media that she plans to speak truth to their power:

She also told them that, fitting with their low credibility and low ratings, fake reporters will no longer be privileged with a monopoly on the press room, and that the White House will be granting press passes to podcasters and other non-corrupt media workers.

The "New Media Seat" (just one?) will be in the front row, ripping way the undeserved privilege from legacy disinformation outlets.


Live feed here:

She actually seems to be well-prepared for the press conference and can answer questions off the top of her head rather than just reading from her binder and telling people "I don't have anything about that." I can barely tell the difference between her and the Academic Olympian Latrine John-Pissoir.

Some of these aren't appointed but go through the hiring process. He's fired a few of them, too.

But yes, it's been established and accepted that the president has the authority to fire political appointees, up to the cabinet, since about 1870 or so. Andrew Johnson's impeachment articles are mostly stupid garbage, but the first point was about him firing a cabinet official, an action SCOTUS said a little bit after the impeachment effort failed was perfectly legal.

Nothing in the Constitution grants the courts the power to act as a super-legislature, having a final veto over every act of the elected Congress and President.

If Trump is going to succeed, he’s going to have to tell the courts to eff off. That’s the bug battle that’s shaping up. He can’t give the effing lawyers months and years to ponder all of the arcane legal minutiae of whether the President can do his job.

Trump never once has done that, so we'll see.

But yes, the judicial branch should not be the last word on constitutionality. That role is nowhere in the constitution itself.

It's a battle of three branches, mostly between two of them.

However, aggressive action now doesn't mean that they won't kowtow to judicial decree later.

Remember when the mop had a binder for a while? She used to make a big show of flipping through her binder to look for answers. Half the time she would find something related and read the statement verbatim. The other half the time, she would flip through for a long time, then announce she had nothing in her binder related to the topic. Stupid bint didn't even know what was in the binder.

She has a fresh Oscar nom for that stupid Emilia Perez movie. I'm sure she and her handlers thought this would be a good way to boost her signal during oscar season. I'm happy to see it backfired. Americans are over self aggrandizing celebs when their lives are on fire. Hollywood is REALLY show at learning the lessons the Trump moratorium should have taught them.

She's the Disney channel brat turned pop singer, so you know she got passed around. Was Justin Bieber's main squeeze during his toxic self destructive teen years. There are rumors he passed her around. He got cleaned up, found religion and his current wife and a kid, and I think him finding his best life while she was still struggling messed her up.

She had autoimmune health stuff that made her weight balloon up incredibly, and social media ridiculing her about something beyond her control also messed her up.

She's now married, has a kid I think, has a successful TV show with Steve Martin and Martin Short. She needs to chill, enjoy what she has, stop preaching.

Here is the single piece of evidence that they provide, the only one I have ever seen:

SS Belt buckles stating "Gott Mit Uns" or God is with us. Putting aside the question of which God does this refer to, this was part of Prussian heraldry from the early 1700s, and a traditional part of military wear. Nazis were big on tradition and heritage.

Hitler specifically stated in his writings that Christians were to be wiped out once he took care of the Jews and other groups, that he hated Christians. But its hard to fix stupid.

Scotus, like the cowards that they are sometimes, left that alone until the 1920's in Myers v. US. Myers was a postmaster fired by Wilson and that was contrary to a law similar to the Tenure in Office Act involved in the Johnson impeachment.

This time, William Howard Taft, past president, and current Chief Justice, wrote an opinion that basically eviscerated the idea that the Senate could put limits on the presidential firing of executive personnel. Weiner and Humphrey's Executor, reined in that language a bit but Myers is still controlling precedent.

Washington felt no need to consult with the Senate upon firing executive officials and every president since then has contended that they ARE the chief executive and that means firing power. Senate has consent powers over major officials being appointed but no power over removal.

If I were to be generous, it's a mixture of Hitler being raised Catholic, Europe's general antipathy to Jews for hundreds of years, and the fact that Hitler never outright banned Christianity in Nazi Germany.

Every person who works for government is in a “political” job. Their entire position, what they do, the scope of their power, whether it should even exist, is a question of policy.

I reject the idea that any action taken by government is “non-political.” It’s just word games invented by the left: any actions taken by a right-wing leader are political, but actions taken by a Democrat are just neutral, obvious, un-controversial, and in the furtherance of “public service.”

I suppose the idea of the non-partisan part of government stems from the lie of the non-partisan administrative state.

For over a hundred years, civil service laws have been used to protect civil servants from firing for any reason. So, they're seen as not political because political figures can't fire them.

Except...it's a bastardization of the very nature of what government is supposed to be in a constitutional republic. If government is apolitical, that means that it is free from influence by the body politic: the People. Which makes it unAmerican.

254 216 There was no reason valid reason whatsoever for the Biden administration not to say inform the American people about what the drones were doing.

At various points the German government considered eliminating him but decided in each case it would make him a martyr and was not worth it.

Even in that slogan they err. When Abraham Lincoln met with ministers during the war, one said something like, "Mr President, let us pray that God is on our side."

Lincoln responded, "I am not at all concerned about that, for I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."

This is the correct attitude. A Christian must always question themselves and ask, "Am I doing what God wants? Am I taking the Lord's position?" The NAZIs were claiming God was among their rank and whatever they did was right. This is not a Christian attitude.

He ultimately saw Christianity as being weak and a pussifying influence on what he wanted to be a proud martial culture holding duty to the fatherland to the highest level.

Thus, the court equated their role to quasi legislative and quasi judicial which meant Congress could limit removals for politics. They can still be removed for cause, but not politics. Ditto for Weiner, except Weiner was viewed as a quasi judicial figure only.

None of those three decisions say anything about removal of underlings. Thus, currently removal invokes a property interest and due process for civil service types. None of that can constitutionally protect incompetent government employees nor those maliciously trying to undermine the current administration.

In those days if you wanted a safe career you had the army, the priesthood, or government service as a clerk. The priests were safer and more respected.

Lincoln responded, "I am not at all concerned about that, for I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right. But it is my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord's side."

This is the correct attitude. A Christian must always question themselves and ask, "Am I doing what God wants? Am I taking the Lord's position?" The NAZIs were claiming God was among their rank and whatever they did was right. This is not a Christian attitude.

Now, atheist Historian Robert Carrier says you can't trust Table Talk, but in that book, which suggests itself as a behind the scenes book about Hitler, from a Hitler sycophant, who wanted to tell the world how great Hitler was: Hitler is quoted as saying that Germany "got the wrong religion".

"Uncle Joe" told them so.

"Uncle Joe" was a champion to save the world from fascism. And the CPUSA backed that message. Which is why psychology researchers flipped the data and created the F-factor (Fascist factor) which told people the more conservative a person is, the more closely their politics trended toward fascism (which is not a conservative politics). And psychology practitioners believed and repeated that LIE for decades. The "F Factor" or "A Factor" became a basic of Human psychology.

353 As of January 28, 2025, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is experiencing significant disruptions due to directives from the current administration. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has imposed a suspension on external communications and a halt on new contracts and grants across its agencies, including the NIH. This suspension is indefinite and has led to the cancellation of grant review meetings and delays in funding disbursements.

These actions have caused widespread concern within the scientific community. Researchers are facing interruptions in ongoing projects, delays in the initiation of new studies, and uncertainty regarding future funding. The halt in grant reviews and funding allocations is particularly troubling for time-sensitive research areas, such as clinical trials and studies addressing emerging health threats.

The situation remains fluid, and the duration of these funding holds is currently unknown. Researchers and institutions are advised to monitor official communications from the NIH and HHS for updates on the status of funding and grant processes.

Yeah, even today's announcement, it sure does sound like "it was test flights/weather balloons" sort of answer.

Some were saying the drones were specifically looking for something, like a dirty bomb, or something else real and deadly, but I guess if that's the case, they might not want to announce it.

It's because Stalinism wasn't textbook Marxism. It wasn't essential Marxism, or pure Marxism. And it wasn't.

Neither was Leninism or Maoism or the Khmer Rouge. They all did things under the inspiration of Marx that was to implement Marxism, but not core Marxism.

So this is what they mean when they say "It was done wrong."

However, one cannot give Marx such a pass. Because at his most honest he said that he couldn't say for sure what would follow "Capitalism", but it would be better by not being "Capitalism". Also, Engels said that because the "State" was the means of oppressing the underclass, all the State has to do is say it is not oppressing the underclass and the "State" has .... "withered away".

So, there doesn't need to be a next step in the Dictatorship (In The Name) Of the Proletariat. The State, as authority, simply insists that it is no longer oppressing the underclass, and, by Engels, it's not a state.

There is much WTF about Marxism.

I was promised by now that I'd be assigned a new husband (free divorce!) who would give me a good weinering regularly, that I could quit my job, stay at home with my kids, cook in the kitchen, with a pantry loaded with lunch meats and other fixin's.
And free clothes, nice new robes to wear.
And get to go to camp--I never got to go to sleep-away camp as a kid--with like-minded folk.
I've got none of that!
