Trump Spox Denies Plan to Remove *ALL* Transgender Troops.

The Trump transition team has refuted a report from The Times, which claimed that President-elect Donald J. Trump is considering an executive order to remove transgender individuals from military service and bar new transgender recruits. The British newspaper cited unspecified defense sources, claiming that the order, which would be more extensive than previous policies, could be issued on Trump’s first day back in office.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesman for the Trump transition team, responded to the claims, stating that the sources cited by The Times are not credible. She emphasized that no decisions have been made and that any confirmed policy would come directly from Trump or his official representatives.

President Barack Obama’s administration had permitted transgender troops to serve openly, access gender reassignment procedures, and update their gender in Pentagon records. Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, intends to eliminate policies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) introduced over the past decade, beginning with the Obama administration.

During his first term in office, President Trump did announce he would be banning transgenders from serving in the U.S. military, noting the medical costs associated with sex change operations and hormone therapy. This policy was reversed under President Joe Biden within his first week in office.

Other Republicans have also pushed back against the transgender agenda since President Trump’s election victory as well, including Representative Nancy Mace (R-SC), who has introduced legislation to ban biological males from women’s bathrooms and other spaces.

GOTCHA: Top NIH Scientist Admits Fauci Likely Funded Wuhan Lab, Questions Vaccine Efficacy.

A top data scientist with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) admits that most of the government’s health initiatives surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic were “completely made up.” Raja Cholan, Chief of the Health Data Standards Branch at the U.S. National Library of Medicine for the NIH, was caught on an undercover video by investigative journalist James O’Keefe acknowledging the likelihood that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan lab and expressing reservations regarding the efficacy of the mRNA vaccines produced in response to the pandemic.

FAUCI & WUHAN.

Discussing the NIH with an undercover reporter, Cholan admits the agency likely funded COVID research at the Wuhan lab, suggesting the U.S. government bears some degree of responsibility for the pandemic. “They [referring to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)] might have funded Wuhan—a lab in Wuhan, China—to, like, make COVID,” he says. The NIH data chief also alleges Dr. Anthony Fauci himself may have been involved, stating: “That’s where Fauci was the director. Like, they might have funded some labs to do vaccine studies and disease, like, to prepare for an outbreak.”

VACCINE EFFICACY.

Additionally, Cholan openly admits that the vaccines meant to prevent COVID-19 infections likely do not work as intended. “I haven’t gotten the latest COVID shots, and I’m not going to… there’s mixed evidence about if it really does anything,” Cholan tells the undercover reporter. He continues, “I don’t even know if these vaccines stop you from getting COVID,” before reconsidering his response and adding bluntly: “They don’t.”

Cholan says one of his biggest concerns regarding the COVID-19 vaccines was the approval process. “The measles vaccine requires several rounds of approval, but the COVID-19 vaccines were accelerated through the approvals for all of us to get our boosters,” he says, adding: “Pfizer and Moderna are just getting a bunch of money from it.”

Anti-Trump Susan Collins Expected to Lead POWERFUL Senate Appropriations Committee.

Senator Susan Collins of Maine has been reportedly appointed as the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. This position places Senator Collins at the helm of the committee responsible for overseeing all discretionary spending within the federal government. Her new role grants her the authority to significantly influence funding decisions for various programs both nationwide and within Maine.

In a statement regarding the appointment, Senator Collins indicated her intention to maintain a focus on several key areas.

“As chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, my priorities will remain helping Maine’s communities, funding biomedical research to save and improve lives, improving our infrastructure, supporting rural economic development, and helping to strengthen our workforce by supporting education, job training, and child care programs,” Collins said in a statement Friday evening, as reported by Maine Public..

Prior to this appointment, Collins was serving as the Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The Senate Appropriations Committee plays a crucial role in determining how federal funds are allocated across different sectors and programs.

Collins is best known for her obstinate anti-Trump stance, which she has expressed many times since 2016. This past election cycle, Collins said she was writing in neocon Nikki Haley. She recently formed part of the Senate GOP block to stop Matt Gaetz becoming Attorney General.

WATCH: Nancy Mace Clashes with Trans Activist.

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace responded to a protest by a transgender activist following an incident at a tech conference in Washington, D.C., as she is campaigning to ban transgenders from women’s bathrooms. Evan Greer, director of Fight for Freedom, interrupted Mace during her appearance at the “Summit on the Future of the Internet” held at Georgetown University.

The protest was in opposition to Mace’s proposed legislation, which prevents transgender women from accessing women’s facilities on Capitol Hill. During the interruption, Greer accused Mace of spreading misinformation that contributes to violence against transgenders, citing the deaths of several transgenders this year. Greer was removed by security.

Mace later shared video footage of the incident on social media. She reiterated her belief in restricting transgender women from using female-only spaces, saying of Greer: “God loves him, I love him—but his penis isn’t gonna be in my bathroom.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently affirmed that facilities in the Capitol complex are designated solely for use by individuals of the corresponding biological sex. He noted that private restrooms and unisex facilities are available.

Mace’s proposed ban on men in women’s facilities, the Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act, has outraged gender ideologues. Trans activist “Venus Andromeda” threatened to kill the Republican congresswoman, posting an image on Instagram with the text “prepare to die” and fantasizing about beating her to death in a women’s restroom.

TRUMP TRANSITION 2024/5

Ex-McCarthy Staffers, RINO Lawmakers Gloat Over Gaetz: ‘Justice Served.’

Former staffers for ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Republican-in-name-only (RINO) lawmakers on Capitol Hill are taking a victory lap after undermining President-elect Donald J. Trump’s initial nominee for U.S. Attorney General, former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL). The effort to block the Gaetz nomination is seen as sabotaging Trump’s incoming administration and a significant political risk for those who spearheaded the betrayal, as the President-elect won a significant electoral mandate in the 2024 presidential race.

After Gaetz announced yesterday that he would withdraw his name from consideration to head the Department of Justice (DOJ), former McCarthy staffer Brittany Martinez declared “justice has been served.” The remark was likely meant as a double entendre, referring both to the spurious allegations of sexual impropriety against Gaetz and his spearheading the ouster of Martinez’s former boss, Kevin McCarthy, as Speaker.

Gaetz has consistently denied the criminal allegations against him, and the Biden government’s DOJ declined to prosecute a case after a thorough investigation into them.

Martinez’s remarks were echoed by Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY), a moderate Republican and close ally of McCarthy. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Lawler also declared, “Justice has been served,” and posted a meme image of the former House Speaker hoisting a gavel with lasers emitting from his eyes.

MCCARTHY’S OUSTER & REVENGE.

Late last year, former Rep. Gaetz led an effort that saw McCarthy’s removal as House Speaker, a position McCarthy held for under nine months. Tensions between McCarthy and Gaetz have remained high, with McCarthy supporting Gaetz’s rival in a Republican primary earlier this year, although Gaetz easily retained his seat.

McCarthy has also aimed to counter others involved in his ousting—efforts that have been unsuccessful.

Following Gaetz’s withdrawal, President-elect Trump nominated Pam Bondi, former Attorney General of Florida, as his choice for U.S. Attorney General.

Merkel Expresses ‘Sorrow’ Over Trump’s Return, Recalls His ‘Urge to Be the Winner.’

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who admitted over a million migrants during Europe’s 2015-16 migrant crisis, says she is concerned about President-elect Donald J. Trump returning to the White House. Globalist Merkel, who was in office during Trump’s first term, said of meetings with the America First leader: “The more people there were in the room, the greater was his urge to be the winner,” adding: “You can’t chat with him. Every meeting is a competition: you or me.”

Merkel, a notionally center-right politician, said, “It was already a disappointment for me that Hillary Clinton didn’t win in 2016. I would have liked a different outcome,” admitting she felt “sorrow” at Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.

On dealing with President-elect Trump, she complained he was very inquisitive and wanted in-depth details “but only to read them for his own advantage, to find arguments that strengthen him and weaken others.”

In one notable G7 meeting in 2017, Trump allegedly stood up and threw Starburst candies on the table, remarking, “Here, Angela, don’t say I never give you anything.”

Merkel expressed feelings of “sorrow” at Trump’s recent electoral victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. She mentioned her disappointment in 2016 when Hillary Clinton lost, indicating a preference for a different political outcome in both instances.

Merkel’s tenure ended in 2021 after 16 years in office, leaving Germany a country where a significant portion of the population is now born overseas, energy prices are rising, and manufacturing is declining. The reign of Merkel also saw the emergence of radical Islamist terrorism as a significant threat to German security, including a 2016 Christmas market attack, which saw a dozen people murdered by a bogus Tunisian asylum seeker who entered the country under Merkel’s watch.

Merkel also made Germany largely reliant on Russia for cheap forms of energy, which has backfired since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, causing inflation and German economic decline.

Musk and Ramaswamy Unveil Plans for New Government Efficiency Department.

Technology and space exploration mogul Elon Musk and entrepreneur-turned-2024 Republican presidential primary candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have unveiled their vision for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which they will spearhead under President-elect Donald J. Trump. The two laid out their plans in an editorial for The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, emphasizing that the government should be run by the elected and not the permanent, unelected bureaucracy.

“Most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures aren’t made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants within government agencies who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil-service protections,” Musk and Ramaswamy contend.

CUT REGULATIONS.

To address the problem, they say they will work with legal experts in each agency to identify regulatory guidance and rulemaking that is outside the bounds of  West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency and Loper Bright v. Raimondo—two recent Supreme Court decisions that have significantly curbed the regulatory reach of federal agencies. These rules and regulations will be compiled into lists to be presented to President Trump, “who can, by executive action, immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review and rescission.”

SHRINK THE WORKFORCE.

The next stage, Musk and Ramaswamy write, will then be a mass reduction in the size of the federal workforce. They contend that a reduction in the scale of regulatory requirements and paperwork will pave the way for shrinking the bureaucracy that enacts and oversees said regulations. Musk and Ramaswamy note that while the President cannot—arguably—target individual positions for elimination, federal law allows for “‘reductions in force’ that don’t target specific employees.”

Finally, they propose an aggressive legal challenge to the 1974 Impoundment Control Act. If overturned, President Trump could, in theory, withhold congressional appropriations from various agencies, generating taxpayer savings.

Appeals Court Upholds Judge’s Halt on Displaying Ten Commandments in Schools.

The federal Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has rejected a motion by the State of Louisiana seeking to temporarily stay a lower court ruling that bars the display of the Ten Commandments in the state’s public schools. Earlier this year, Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA) signed into law legislation that requires the posting of the ethics code associated with Jewish and Christian religious beliefs in Louisiana schools beginning next year.

U.S. District Court Judge John deGravelles issued a preliminary injunction against the law earlier this month as litigation over the requirement and its constitutionality continues. The Fifth Circuit will hear arguments over the matter on January 23, which means the stay will remain in effect, delaying the state’s January 1 deadline to post the Ten Commandments.

In June of this year, Louisiana became the first U.S. state to mandate that the Ten Commandments be displayed in public school classrooms. The law includes any educational institution receiving state funds, from kindergartens to public universities.

“I’m going home to sign a bill that places the Ten Commandments in public classrooms,” Gov. Landry said this past summer during a fundraiser. Seemingly unphased by the prospect of litigation, he added: “And I can’t wait to be sued.” Hours later, Landry signed the Ten Commandments bill into law.

Reacting to the appellate court decision, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said her office will “continue to defend this clearly constitutional law.”

In issuing his stay earlier this month, District Court Judge deGravelles found the Louisiana law to be “overtly religious” and ruled it “unconstitutional on its face.” The State of Louisiana contends that the Ten Commandments are not purely religious texts but also have a long history of influence over U.S. legal codes.

NEWSPEAK: ‘Sacrifice’ Now Means ‘Enjoy,’ ‘Ban’ Now Means ‘Upgrade,’ According to Lib Climate Group.

A far-left climate change group has spent millions of dollars in a bid to help climate activists sound like human beings when interacting with other people. Potential Energy Coalition launched the “Talk Like a Human” campaign, which suggests activists use terms such as “extreme weather” and “overheating” in place of “climate change” and “warming.”

Additionally, it promotes positive language like “enjoy” over “sacrifice” when discussing the future impacts of climate actions. The coalition emphasizes localized language, suggesting activists talk about pollution rather than the global scope of climate change.

Potential Energy draws on substantial financial backing, including $17.5 million from the Windward Fund between 2021 and 2022. By 2023, this support increased by an additional $13 million. The group also reportedly received nearly $2 million for consulting services from the Windward Fund in 2020 and 2021.

In collaboration with Climate Power and the League of Conservation Voters, Potential Energy led a significant advertising campaign, spending over $10 million to urge action on climate policy by Joe Biden and Congress. This initiative coincided with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which committed funds to climate change efforts. That year, the coalition reported $38.6 million in revenue, marking substantial growth from 2021.

Climate change extremists have a history of alienating the regular public, with groups like Just Stop Oil being very unpopular in the United Kingdom for their blocking of roads and attacks on classical art and monuments. In Germany, a group called “Last Generation” was declared a criminal organization last year for engaging in similar actions.

Nancy Pelosi’s Niece Cashed in Serving in the Biden Government.

Alexis Pelosi, the wife of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi‘s (D-CA) nephew Laurence Pelosi, has earned a lucrative salary of $181,648.00 in taxpayer dollars since joining the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 2022 as a senior advisor for climate change. Alexis’s husband, Laurence, is the son of Ron Pelosi, the brother of Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi.

While nepotism and favoritism in government employment are not unheard of, data from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) suggests Alexis Pelosi’s salary is overly inflated compared to the government baseline she should be at. The OPM guide indicates she should only be at the pay level of $143,546.00, not $181,648.00. This would suggest that senior officials in the Biden-Harris government overrode the standard payscale, possibly at the behest of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The appointment of Alexis Pelosi has also drawn the attention of President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s ally Elon Musk, who is heading up a cost-cutting effort dubbed the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Musk and DOGE intend to root out waste and corruption to make a more efficient and less expensive federal government.

“But maybe her advice is amazing,” Musk posted sarcastically on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), in response to the revelations of Alexis Pelosi’s pay level.

Typically, political appointees’ salaries are determined by a fairly strict pay scale based on their previous governmental and nongovernmental experience and education level. While senior advisors in a department can make higher salaries, being near the top of the government pay scale is unusual.
