“Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years. I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard Academies. We will have the strongest military in history, and that begins by appointing new individuals to these boards. We must make the military academies great again!” President Trump

On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance criticized judges for issuing rulings over the weekend to halt Trump's executive orders and actions. 'If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal.' JD Vance 'The day you're not allowed to look for theft and fraud etcetera, then we don't have much of a country. No judge should be allowed to make that kind of decision, it's a disgrace.' President Trump 'Where the Executive has sole and plenary power under the Constitution--as in commanding military operations or exercising prosecutorial discretion--judges cannot constitutionally interfere,' Yale Law School constitutional law scholar Jed Rubenfeld wrote. 'JD is correct.' Democrats continue to scream as DOGE scrutinizes the federal government. On Monday alone, five different federal judges ordered halts on Trump actions including his birthright citizenship directive, NIH funding slashes, the federal grants freeze and also his firing of the government's main ethics chief. A federal judge temporarily restricted DOGE's access to the Treasury Department's payment and data systems early Saturday morning, ordering the department to 'destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Department's records and systems.' On Friday, a federal judge in Washington also ordered a pause on Trump's efforts to put 2,2000 USAID employees on leave. Trump's attempted freeze of federal grants was also halted by a judge on January 31.

President Trump's Department of Homeland Security has fired the officials and agents in charge of finances at FEMA. FEMA's Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans lost her job because FEMA issued $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal aliens. Three others involved in the disbursement of the funds also lost their jobs. Comans and her FEMA team controlled 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." Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin

Pocahontas today urged Jerome Powell to cut rates at the Fed's next policy meeting in March. Jay Powell replied: "With our policy stance now significantly less restrictive than it had been and the economy remaining strong, we do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance."

President Trump is criticizing 'highly politicized' judges that are stopping the work of DOGE. On Monday alone, five different federal judges ordered halts on Trump actions including his birthright citizenship directive, NIH funding slashes, the federal grants freeze and also his firing of the government's main ethics chief. "Billions of Dollars of FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE, has already been found in the investigation of our incompetently run government. Now, certain activists and highly political judges want us to slow down, or stop us. Losing this momentum will be very detrimental to finding the TRUTH, which is turning out to be a disaster for those involved in running our government. Much left to find. No Excuses! President Trump

Defense Secretary Hegseth has cancelled the name Fort Liberty and returned to the base's original and proper name......Fort Bragg. Fort Bragg was originally named after Warrenton, North Carolina native Braxton Bragg, a former U.S. Army artillery commander and West Point graduate who later fought for the Confederate States of America commanding the Army of the Mississippi (later renamed Army of Tennessee). Now, Hegseth is renaming the base to honor Pfc. Roland L. Bragg, a World War II hero who earned the Silver Star and Purple Heart for his exceptional courage during the Battle of the Bulge. “This change underscores the installation’s legacy of recognizing those who have demonstrated extraordinary service and sacrifice for the nation.”

“I told Ukraine that I want the equivalent of $500 billion worth of rare earth. And they've essentially agreed to do that so at least we don’t feel stupid. Otherwise, we're stupid. I said to them we have to get something. We can’t continue to pay this money" [helping Ukraine to fight the war]. President Trump

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided "full funding" for al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki to attend college in Colorado, documents show. Al-Awlaki was an American-born jihadist who was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011, during the Obama administration. He was a central figure of al Qaeda, including having direct contact with Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan before he opened fire at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, killing 13 people. Al-Awlaki was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 1971 to parents from Yemen. He was raised both in the U.S. and Yemen, "This form, dated 1990, confirms that Anwar al-Awlaki was qualified for an exchange visa and that USAID was providing ‘full funding’ for his studies at Colorado State University," the National Security Archive reported in 2015 accompanied by a copy of the document. "The document lists Anwar’s birthplace incorrectly as Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, which he later said was a deliberate falsehood offered at the urging of American officials who knew his father so that he could qualify for a scholarship reserved for foreign citizens.” Al-Awlaki was preaching at a San Diego mosque in 2000 when he reportedly first met Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi, two of the 9/11 hijackers. He was arrested in 2006 in Yemen on suspicion of holding terrorist ties, with U.S. intelligence viewing him as a terrorist sympathizer. He was linked to the shooting at Fort Hood in Texas that year, as well as the attempted bombing of a flight to Detroit on Christmas Day. Obama authorized operations to capture or kill al-Awlaki in 2010, with a drone strike on Sept. 30, 2011, killing him in Yemen. “You take a look at the USAID, the kind of fraud in there." President Trump

Elon Musk's DOGE has terminated a multi-million dollar virtual reality project that taught soldiers how to have 'difficult conversations in DEI-friendly way. The Air Force and Space Force were spending millions for a training program not to better enhance soldiers' fighting capability, but to "help grow inclusive-minded leaders." It was a priority for military officials under Biden to address "unconscious bias" in the military ranks and create a more "inclusive" force, according to a White House memo. The Air Force's Air Education and Training Command spent $2.3 million contract to create a virtual reality experience where soldiers would deal with an avatar that would help them speak and act in a DEI-friendly way. 'This program allows the participants to have a conversation that are both realistic and difficult,' an Air Force soldier wrote alongside a video testimonial. 'It uses a virtual avatar that are controlled by trained actors.' It's just another way that the Air and Space Force are innovating and staying one step ahead of a time when we have difficult conversations!' the soldier continued. "DOGE has canceled a $2.3 million contract with the Air Force's University for the "profession of arms center of excellence unconscious bias mixed reality service,'' a senior White House official said.

Elon Musk says his DOGE team found out on Monday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) sent payments of $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal aliens. Musk is now demanding that FEMA, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), push a clawback demand. It's unclear if the demand will be met, but if it is, FEMA would be able to recuperate the millions in already-distributed funds. "Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!" Elon Musk

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has canceled over $180 million in contracts from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These contacts were entirely for administrative expenses - none touched any healthcare programs. This included terminating a $168,000 contract for an Anthony Fauci exhibit at the NIH museum.

President Trump says he will announce on Monday that the United States will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico. He also reaffirmed that he would announce reciprocal tariffs, probably Tuesday or Wednesday, meaning that the U.S. would impose import duties on products in cases where another country has levied duties on U.S. goods. “If they are charging us 130% and we’re charging them nothing, it’s not going to stay that way.”
