Tulsi Gabbard Fires Two Deep Staters for Undermining Their Superior Officer's Foreign Policy and Allegedly for Leaking;
Perjurer John Brennan Cries About His Frenz Getting Canned

Apparently they disagreed with Trump's assessment that the communist authoritarian government of Venezuela works with Tren de Aragua.

Okay, fair enough, that's your opinion.

But what is not fair -- or legal, actually -- is to leak your opinion to the press in order to spike a policy you disagree with.


Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired the top officials leading the National Intelligence Council -- whom whistleblowers describe as "radically opposed to Trump" -- and has moved the agency to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, or ODNI, to ensure she can block any "politicization of intelligence," Fox News Digital has learned.

Gabbard fired Mike Collins, who was serving as the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, and his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof, Tuesday, senior intelligence officials told Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital reached out Langan-Riekhof for comment and did not immediately hear back, and couldn't immediately find contact information for Collins.

Collins also has whistleblower complaints against him for political bias and "deliberately undermining the incoming Trump administration," officials said.

I wonder if they were members of #TheResistance...?

Hm, seems likely:

They added that Collins was closely associated with Michael Morrell, the former deputy director of the CIA who worked to write a public letter in 2020 claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop had "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation," and to get signatures from top ex-intelligence officials.

As for Langan-Reikhof, officials said she has been a "key advocate" for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, and is someone who whistleblowers allege is "radically opposed to Trump."

Meanwhile, Gabbard is moving the National Intelligence Council from the CIA to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to "directly hold accountable any improper action and politicization of intelligence," Fox News Digital has learned.

Many intel community leakers are "career bureaucrats that are entrenched in Washington politics," officials said.

"It takes time to weed them out and fire them," one official told Fox News Digital, adding that "plans to eliminate non-essential offices within ODNI that we know are housing deep state leakers are underway."

...

The moves come as Gabbard has taken steps to root out leakers and alleged "deep state holdovers" who officials say are politicizing intelligence analysis and "trying to sabotage President Trump's agenda."

...

So far, Gabbard has referred three intelligence community professionals to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution over alleged leaks of classified information. Fox News Digital first reported on those criminal referrals in April.

An ODNI official at that time told Fox News Digital that the intelligence community professionals allegedly leaked classified information to the Washington Post and The New York Times.

John Brennan went on MSNBC to nearly cry about it, which means:

Direct Hit. Deep State agents uncovered.

Nick Arama:

If John Brennan is livid, you know it's a good thing. That's the only worth of anything he says. If he hates it, you know then it's a great thing. It's like an "Inverse Cramer" reaction.

Alexa Henning, Gabbard's Deputy Chief of Staff, skewered him -- "Idk I feel like he should sit this one out" -- then posted a picture of The Guardian headlines of the 2014 CIA spying scandal of Senate staff under Brennan.

Even Democrats were furious about the scandal in 2014, but then there were no effective consequences beyond an apology.

By the way: Completely unrelated, apropos of nothing, but murder rates in Denver and Aurora, Colorado are plummeting now that Tren de Aragua members have been deported.

Todd Huston for Breitbart:


New data shows that homicides in Denver and Aurora, Colorado, have experienced a significant drop in the wake of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) efforts to take down the Tren de Aragua gang members that had been causing so much chaos in the area.

But local Americans are still being killed by President Joe Biden's migrants, including a 24-year-old woman killed in July of 2024 in Aurora by a 15-year-old reckless illegal-migrant driver. The local prosecutor just offered a sweetheart probation and community service deal to the youth migrant who is now applying for humanitarian asylum.

The numbers have taken a significant downturn in the first quarter of 2025, according to data from the Major Cities Chiefs Association, KSUA-TV reported.

Homicides in Denver declined 58 percent during the first three months over the same time last year, and nearby Aurora saw a 36 percent decline during the same period.

Aurora Police Chief Todd Chamberlin added that all crime is down in his city.

"The City of Aurora and Aurora PD are actually in a really good spot right now. Our crime numbers are down 22.8% overall," Chamberlin said.

The Trump administration made the Denver area an important focal point of immigration removals. Even as the president was being inaugurated, ICE had moved in to arrest 538 illegal aliens in cities including Denver.

ICE quickly announced an expansion of efforts in Colorado to target members of the violent Venezuelan street gang, Tren de Aragua.

But even as the administration ramped up its efforts to pick up as many of these dangerous criminals as possible, Democrats such as Denver Mayor Mike Johnston and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis worked to thwart the president's efforts. The Trump administration even moved to sue Denver and state officials over the obstruction of federal immigration enforcement.


I'm sure it's all a coincidence.

Let's bring all of these Maryland Men back to Colorado.

How does that work? Tulsi has at least two powerful DEI attributes: woman and minority. I'm not sure hawtness is also a DEI attribute, but I think I'll allow it anyway.

Is that because there are fewer murderers lurking around, or fewer people to murder? Both? I assume most of the murders were gang-on-gang violence, like we see in Chicago and Baltimore.

HuffPo: DHS Is Considering A Reality Show Where Immigrants Compete For Citizenship. Daily Mail reported on Thursday that Rob Worsoff, a Canadian-born writer, producer and director, pitched the show, titled "The American," and that DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is a fan of the concept.

That is some Stephen King shit right there. Anyone remember "The Running Man?" Weirdly, that story took place in 2025.

And the losers win an all expenses paid trip to El Salvador! The Hunger Games is one step away. I hope Hispanics who voted for Trump realize what MAGA really thinks of them.

...the Canadian-born producer hopes to spark a nationwide dialogue on American identity by showcasing the perspectives of those who aspire to become citizens. Worsoff is most recognized for his role as a producer on the A&E reality show Duck Dynasty.

Agree to a point. I think men should pay some attention to how they look, and try to look their best (when it matters), especially if they want ladies to do the same. But making a show of it -- such as using heavy filters on a video -- is vain and gayful. Especially for a guy like Brennan, who is not trading even remotely on his looks. He wants us to take him seriously. Then he gets on a video and he's filtered like a pop star.

This is actually pretty close to what they do:

The National Intelligence Council (NIC), established in 1979 and reporting to the Director of National Intelligence, bridges the United States Intelligence Community (IC) with policy makers in the United States. The NIC produces the "Global Trends" report every four years beginning in 1997, for the incoming President of the United States. NIC documents and reports which are used by policymakers, include the National Intelligence Estimate and the Global Trends reports delivered every four years. The NIC's goal is to provide policymakers with the best available information, that is unvarnished, unbiased and without regard to whether the analytic judgments conform to current U.S. policy.

I wouldn't go that far, but to me the whole exercise makes no sense. The hyphen is a modern feminist girl-power thing to avoid taking a man's name (the husband). So instead, the girlboss keeps the name of another man (her father) who so oppressed another woman (her mother) than he made her change her name?

Plus, it results in weird, cumbersome names. And what happens when a hyphenated name marries another hyphenated name?

Migrants can only be from Mexico or Canada (or carib islands?). They have to report to specific border stations before entering to get processed. Outside of that area, no person in the rest of the US is a legal migrant.

You might as well say, "I carry divorce papers with me wherever I go and they're all ready except for my signature. Oh, and I carry a pen too."

Eh...maybe. Plenty of non-hyphenated ones have the same mindset though. The second they aren't "happy" BOOM, pull the eject handle, take half his shit, 60% of your future income for a decade or more, and alienate the kids. A sad but very real fact of modern life.

Part of that is bureaucracy. It takes a long time to get to all the various offices that need your documentation to prove the name change, plus the cost.

A friend of mine had a father with an Hispanic-sounding last name, which is the name she grew up with, though she doesn't look Hispanic and in no way ever felt connected to or participated in "Hispanic culture." The name was just a leftover from some hookup with a random guy her (non-Hispanic) mom had a one-night stand with long ago.

Fast forward 30-ish years, and my friend gets married to a guy with a bland non-Hispanic name. She totally loves him, BUT, she did not take his last name upon getting marrried, but kept her maiden name.

Why?

Well, to be blunt, her job opportunities are infinitely better with an Hispanic last name. Sad but true.

208 The problem with academic papers is that if you DO get cited, there's no organized way to get the citing papers updated.

Maybe you could get your own publisher to update your name, but it would be a gigantic hassle to get the authors of all papers that had cited yours to update their bibliographies as well.

Academics live by citations, and will go to great lengths to ensure they always get credit.

A lot of married academic women continue using their maiden name for publications, while switching to the married name for everything in everyday life.

I knew a young woman who hated her parents, and hated her ex-husband that they had forced her to marry for religious reasons. So she stopped using any surname at all and just went by her first name. I think she even made that change legally.

272 In North Santander Department, Colombia, this week twelve people were wounded by a mortar round dropped from a drone in an on-going struggle between two splinter groups of the Terrorist group FARC: Frente 33 and the ELN. The two groups have developed a method of using commercial drones to drop mortar rounds in their combat. The region around the town of Tibú in N. Santander has seen ongoing fights between terrorist groups and narcotrafficers, with murders, kidnapping, "disapperances" and forced removals.

274 The hyphen is a modern feminist girl-power thing to avoid taking a man's name (the husband). So instead, the girlboss keeps the name of another man (her father) who so oppressed another woman (her mother) than he made her change her name?

I think in some cases - like that Spanish tradition of keeping approximately the last two generations of surnames, or the American thing where a woman takes her husband's last name and keeps her maiden name as a middle name - it functions as a quick-and-dirty genealogy.

Which can be useful when the records aren't kept.
