As a departure from regular posting schedule I feel I must report on a few things from the Trump admin that seem to enter under the radar….

One of the agencies that does good work although it could do better has been attacked by the new SecTreas….

The Trump administration has told employees of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop performing nearly all of their duties, effectively putting the agency out of business. The order was contained in an email sent to the staff from Russell Vought, the new director of the Office of Management and Budget, on Saturday night, the New York Times reports. In addition, officials said Sunday that the agency’s headquarters in Washington will be closed this week, per the AP, without specifying a reason.

“Employees and contractors are to work remotely unless instructed otherwise,” the email to staff members at the office said. The agency’s internet homepage was gone Sunday, replaced by “page not found.” On Friday, Elon Musk, given authority by President Trump to cut federal spending, posted “CFPB RIP” on X. Congress created the financial industry watchdog in 2011, so it can’t legally be shut down without congressional action. Its director can, however, halt its enforcement of regulations and oversight of banks and other lenders. Vought said Trump has made him acting director of the CFPB.

The email confirmed the order from the previous acting director, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, to stop investigations and not issue any new regulations. Vought posted Saturday evening on X that he’s informed the Federal Reserve, which funds it, that the finance bureau “will not be taking its next draw of unappropriated funding because it is not ‘reasonably necessary’ to carry out its duties,” per the Times. “This spigot, long contributing to CFPB’s unaccountability, is now being turned off,” he added.

Another example of how little Trump cares for us peons…..still liking your vote?

Recently the Lord High Parasite made a statement a bout the US owning Gaza and then his gutless minions tried to walk it back but the big mouth from Mar-A-Lago just cannot be silent…

President Trump continued to push his idea for a US takeover of the Gaza Strip, saying he was “committed” to owning the Palestinian territory.

“I’m committed to buying and owning Gaza. As far as us rebuilding it, we may give it to other states in the Middle East to build sections of it,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The president said it would be a “big mistake” to allow Palestinians to return to Gaza once they’re removed despite the White House previously walking back his call for the “permanent” expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza, which means ethnic cleansing would be required for his plan.

“It’s a big mistake to allow the Palestinians or the people to be living in Gaza to go back yet another time. We don’t want Hamas going back, think of it as a big real estate site,” Trump said.

He again called Gaza a “demolition site” and said the “remainder will be demolished. You can’t live in those buildings right now. We’ll make into a good site for future development by … somebody.”

Trump also claimed that the “only reason they’re talking about returning to Gaza is because they don’t have an alternative. When they have one, they won’t want to return.”

Again what part of this stupidity is “Making America Great Again”?

Trump then revoked Biden’s security access to briefings….

President Trump said Friday that he’s revoking former President Biden’s access to government secrets and ending the daily intelligence briefings he’s receiving as payback for Biden doing the same to him in 2021. Trump has the right to end the briefings for Biden because it is a sitting president’s decision on whether a past president should continue to have access to classified information, reports the AP. Trump announced his decision in a post on Truth Social shortly after he arrived at his Mar-a-Lago home and private club in Palm Beach for the weekend:

“There is no need for Joe Biden to continue receiving access to classified information. Therefore, we are immediately revoking Joe Biden’s Security Clearances, and stopping his daily Intelligence Briefings. He set this precedent in 2021, when he instructed the Intelligence Community (IC) to stop the 45th President of the United States (ME!) from accessing details on National Security, a courtesy provided to former Presidents. The Hur Report revealed that Biden suffers from ‘poor memory’ and, even in his ‘prime,’ could not be trusted with sensitive information. I will always protect our National Security — JOE, YOU’RE FIRED. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

This should make life easier for his supporters.

In another move to improve life in America (sarcasm) Trump has taken control over the Kennedy Center…..

President Trump said Friday that he is firing members of the board of trustees for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and naming himself chairman. The AP reports he also indicated that he would be dictating programming at one of the nation’s premier cultural institutions, specifically declaring that he’d put an end to events featuring performers in drag. Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:

At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., GREAT AGAIN. I have decided to immediately terminate multiple individuals from the Board of Trustees, including the Chairman, who do not share our Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture. We will soon announce a new Board, with an amazing Chairman, DONALD J. TRUMP!” Trump also suggested in his post that he would be implementing some changes to the center’s performance schedule, noting that last year “the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP.” According to its website, the center in July hosted a preshow titled “A Drag Salute to Divas” and a November “Drag Brunch.”

Why?  This is such a waste of time and effort.

They say Trump hates women….they may be on to something….

As President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI agenda comes to bear on NASA, we’re getting a revealing look at what his administration considers to be too woke: women.

In a directive sent out just days after Trump’s inauguration, NASA personnel were commanded to excise all mentions of anything “specifically targeting” women on the space agency’s public websites, 404 Media reports.

“Per NASA HQ direction, we are required to scrub mentions of the following terms from our public sites by 5pm ET today,” the directive reads. “This is a drop everything and reprioritize your day request.”

The list of verboten terms includes “DEIA,” “accessibility,” “indigenous people,” “environmental justice,” and finally: “anything specifically targeting women,” such as “women in leadership, etc.”

Making bribery legal….

Donald Trump plans to make it legal for businesses to bribe foreign officials.

Bloomberg reports that the president will soon sign an executive order to pause the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, claiming that it hurts American businesses. The order will instruct Attorney General Pam Bondi to pause criminal prosecutions under the law until she issues new enforcement guidelines, according to a fact sheet on the order obtained by the news outlet. She will also be ordered to review current and past Justice Department actions under the law.

“U.S. companies are harmed by FCPA overenforcement because they are prohibited from engaging in practices common among international competitors, creating an uneven playing field,” the fact sheet states. A White House official confirmed the fact sheet’s veracity to CNBC, telling the network the move is “a pause in enforcement to better understand how to streamline the FCPA to make sure it’s in line with economic interests and national security.”
