As the Trump Train ploughs through the Washington Swamp for real this time, few things speak to the entitlement complex of the Swamp Monsters as this:
Security agents escorted the inspector general of the US Department of Agriculture out of her office on Monday after she refused to comply with her firing by the Trump administration, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
What part of ‘You’re fired’ doesn’t she understand?
Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she did not believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.
In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.
The ‘independent’ CIGIE that she just happened to run for six years. It’s a cosy little club for the Swamp Monsters and ordinary Americans aren’t in it. The sheer chutzpah of these troughers is staggering.
This is the sort of swamp-draining Trump should have done in his first term.
The White House defended the firing of Fong and the other inspectors general, saying “these rogue, partisan bureaucrats … have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy” […]
Fong was among the 17 federal watchdogs fired by Trump on Friday in what critics described as a Friday-night purge. Speaking to reporters afterwards aboard Air Force One, Trump defended the move saying, “it’s a very common thing to do”. He did not say who would be installed in the vacant posts.
May there be many more yet to come.
Just as recent deportations are hopefully just the start of a cleansing wave surging through the sewers running under America – the rapists, child molesters and drug traffickers, from south of the border, were a good start. Next: the Pallywankers.
In an executive order signed on Wednesday, [United States President Donald Trump] said the federal government would use “all available and appropriate legal tools” to prosecute and remove perpetrators of “unlawful anti-Semitic harassment and violence”.
“Jewish students have faced an unrelenting barrage of discrimination; denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault,” Trump’s order said.
A fact sheet on the order released by the White House indicated that the crackdown would extend to “all” student visa holders who participated in “pro-jihadist protests” on university campuses.
“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” Trump said in the fact sheet.
“I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”
Naturally, ‘Muslim advocacy organisations’ are in a panic. Funny about that.
Under the order, Trump directed the secretary of state, the secretary of education and the secretary of homeland security to familiarise universities with a section of immigration law governing “inadmissible aliens” and ensure that reports of activities that run afoul of the criteria for admissibility lead “to investigations and, if warranted, actions to remove such aliens”.
Under US immigration law, foreign nationals can be deemed “inadmissible aliens” under a range of scenarios apart from being convicted of a crime.
Those circumstances include cases where authorities have “reason to believe” a person is engaged in various types of unlawful activity or have determined he or she is “associated with a terrorist organisation”.
Such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (remember them, Byron Clark? Don’t worry, if your memory is being a bit selective, you can always ask old mate John Minto). Or maybe the Muslim Brotherhood?
“Like the college students who once protested segregation, the Vietnam war, and apartheid South Africa, the diverse collection of college students who protested against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza deserve our country’s thanks,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement.
CAIR, you say?
Evidence at trial linked CAIR leaders to Hamas, a specially designated terrorist organization, and CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.
Sounds like they’re worried they’ll be on the next plane back to Shitholistan, then. Good.
