Getting Ready To Drain The Swamp: Trump Signs Executive Order Changing the Status of Many Federal Employees
In a stunning move Wednesday, President Trump signed an executive order moving many “policy-making” federal employees to a new classification that removes their “civil service protections” going into effect just before inauguration in January.
The new order essentially moves certain executive branch “men and women in the Federal service employed in positions of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character” to a new Classification F. This classification essentially moves these employees from union protections to “at-will” employees.
In the order, the President states, “Unfortunately, the Government’s current performance management is inadequate, as recognized by Federal workers themselves. For instance, the 2016 Merit Principles Survey reveals that less than a quarter of Federal employees believe their agency addresses poor performers effectively.”
“Separating employees who cannot or will not meet required performance standards is important, and it is particularly important with regard to employees in confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating positions. High performance by such employees can meaningfully enhance agency operations, while poor performance can...
Venezuela’s Dictator Hugo Chavez Packed the Courts
Almost from the moment Republicans said they intended to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Democrats began to vow they would pack the court if Republicans went through with their plan.
“If [Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell] holds a vote [on a Supreme Court nominee] in 2020, we pack the court in 2021. It’s that simple,” Rep. Joe Kennedy, D-Mass., said the weekend Ginsburg died.
As a Venezuelan, this is not the first time I have seen an authoritarian measure like this. Changing the rules also was a strategy of Hugo Chavez, the former president of Venezuela.
Chavez had two fundamental rules—expel those on the court who were not attached to his party, and add enough seats to ensure his will was done. Chavez increased the number of judges on Venezuela’s highest court from 20 to 32 in 2004, and in so doing secured victories for himself for the remainder of his life.
By 2006, at the beginning of the judicial year, elected judges to the supreme court were chanting, “Uh, ah, Chavez won’t leave,” which is the classic slogan in support of the former dictator—making even more evident a rupture in the separation of powers.
You say that can’t happen here because the U.S. is a republic?
Chavez was elected by the people in 1998, and he consistently allowed elections since. But he fundamentally changed the country and its laws so that no candidate stood a chance against him.
Chavez began to disrespect the rule of law in 1999, his first year in office. Saying the country needed change after years of oppression of the poor, he changed the constitution, abused the rule of law, increased the size of the government, and diminished its institutions.
In multiple interviews before being elected, he specified that he would be neither a socialist nor authoritarian. Once in office, he did not keep his word and instead spread the phrase “fatherland, socialism, or death.” Thanks to his packed courts, nothing could be done.
Democrats are playing a dangerous game with their talk of adding seats to the Supreme Court. Even worse, their presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden, is directly telling Americans he will not give a clear answer to the country about this topic until the elections get closer.
The results in Venezuela of this policy are crystal clear. Not playing by the rules only undermines the state of law and shows a willingness to change longstanding practices in the pursuit of power.
Authoritarian regimes always seek to change the rules once in power. They always claim it is only fair and is being done only to pursue a greater goal.
Here is the truth: Anyone can live in a dictatorship, but you need to be willing to defend certain principles to live in freedom. As a person who was a victim of these toxic policies, I openly condemn this attempt to change the rules of the Supreme Court to make things work for one side just because that side is...
Holy Shit! This Is The Truth-bomb For Our Time!!!
Brandon Straka 'Walk Away' Destroys BLM Supporter In Debate On The Safety Of Black Americans
Brandon Straka voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election. After the election, he decided to research Donald Trump and the Republican party and found out that everything he heard in his echo chamber was wrong. He started the ‘Walk Away’ campaign that helped thousands of Americans ‘Walk Away’ from the Democrat Party and into the Republican Party.
One of his recent events was a debate versus a Black Lives Matter supporter, and the topic was: “Where is America going on racism and BLM? And what should we be doing next?”
The BLM supporter – a black female – named Tiesha said that “as a black woman,” she finds it “really hard to have conversations and see these opinions from people who do not look like” her. She said that someone that doesn’t “share that lens and that reality of fear” couldn’t possibly understand.
She claims to be “troubled” if there is a “police officer down the...

Witness called to the FBI as he’s about to testify before Senate Committee
The more allegations of Biden corruption that come out, the more fantastical and unbelievable it seems. The new witness against the Biden family, Tony Bobulinski, said in a tweet today that the Deep State is trying to silence him.
He was supposed to testify before Senator Ron Johnson’s committee until the FBI stepped in to postpone the Hearing. This is the same FBI who had the Hunter Biden laptop since December 2019. They want to interview him first.
Sidney Powell calls the Biden scandal “hideous.”
Mr. Bobulinski best watch out for FBI lie entrapment.
Watch as Sidney Powell and Tom Fitton discuss it with Lou Dobbs:
