Trump is bringing back accountability. And no one’s secrets are safe.

Now the White House unveiled this declassified video that changes everything.

Trump’s Leadership Strikes Major Blows Against ISIS in Iraq and Africa

The Trump administration’s commitment to eradicating ISIS has once again delivered results, as a joint U.S.-Iraqi military operation successfully took out multiple ISIS terrorists in a newly revealed strike late last week.

According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the mission—spearheaded by Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) with vital support from U.S. forces—was executed near Kirkuk, Iraq, where five ISIS operatives were eliminated.

“An initial post-strike clearance found multiple explosive suicide belts and other materials,” CENTCOM reported, emphasizing that this ISF-led operation is part of the ongoing effort to dismantle ISIS networks and cripple their ability to wage terror.

The statement highlighted that Coalition Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CTF-OIR) provided technical and intelligence support to ensure the strike’s success.

This decisive action came just hours before President Donald Trump personally authorized another high-impact strike—this time targeting ISIS terrorists in Africa.

Trump Delivers Devastating Blow to ISIS in Somalia

On Saturday, Trump ordered precision airstrikes that wiped out multiple ISIS operatives in Somalia, marking yet another success in his relentless pursuit of America’s enemies.

“This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” Trump announced. “These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies.”

Unlike the weak and hesitant response of the previous administration, Trump acted swiftly and decisively. His leadership ensured that the terrorists were completely neutralized.

“The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians,” Trump added.

“Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!”

A Clear Message to America’s Enemies

Trump made it clear that under his leadership, there will be no safe haven for those who threaten the United States.

“The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!’” he declared.

Once again, Trump has proven that when it comes to national security, he is a leader who takes action—not one who cowers behind bureaucratic red tape.

While the previous administration hesitated and let threats fester, Trump is ensuring that America and its allies remain protected by taking the fight directly to the enemy.

The government is bloated beyond measure. Now it’s time to take the axe to it.

And a mass exodus from the federal government is setting off alarms in Washington, D.C.

Over 20,000 Federal Workers Accept Trump Administration’s Buyout Offer

The number of federal employees opting into the Trump administration’s buyout plan has surpassed 20,000, with a surge in resignations expected ahead of Thursday’s deadline, according to the Washington Times.

A White House official revealed that the number of workers accepting the deal is climbing rapidly, with the largest spike in resignations anticipated in the final 24 to 48 hours before the cutoff.

The pace of departures has been so swift that even the administration’s internal estimates are struggling to keep up.

At more than 20,000 resignations, the number represents roughly 1% of the two million-strong federal workforce.

However, this remains lower than the White House’s initial projection, which estimated that between 5% and 10% of federal workers would take the deal.

The administration argues that the buyouts will significantly reduce government bloat, estimating that the departures will save taxpayers a staggering $100 billion.

Last week, the Trump administration formally announced the buyout plan, offering all federal employees the option to resign by Thursday in exchange for a severance package.

Those who take the offer will receive the equivalent of eight months’ salary, ensuring their pay continues through September 30.

However, those who refuse to take the buyout were given a stark warning: their job security is not guaranteed.

An internal email from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) made it clear that employees who stay on may still find themselves without a job in the near future.

The email stopped short of guaranteeing continued employment, stating, “Should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded protections in place for such positions.”

This sweeping buyout initiative is part of President Trump’s broader effort to streamline the federal government, slashing bureaucracy at an unprecedented rate.

The plan also serves as a way to remove employees who are unwilling to return to in-person work after years of remote arrangements following the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of Trump’s first executive orders after returning to office was a directive mandating federal employees return to the office full-time.

The move has sparked backlash from federal employee unions, which have threatened legal action, claiming the order violates collective bargaining agreements they previously secured.

Despite union pushback, Trump remains committed to reshaping the federal workforce, cutting costs, and ensuring that government employees are present and accountable to the American people.

Biden may be out of office, but he’s sticking around in the spotlight. He can’t get over that he lost.

Now Joe Biden’s new job is raising everyone’s eyebrows.

Biden Cashes In on Hollywood Ties After White House Exit

After his disastrous presidency, former President Joe Biden is wasting no time securing his next payday—signing with a top Hollywood agency in one of the first major moves of his post-White House career.

The 82-year-old Democrat, whose administration was plagued by economic failures, border chaos, and foreign policy blunders, has re-signed with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the same firm that represented him after he left the Obama administration in 2017.

On Monday, he made the move official once again, setting the stage for what will likely be a lucrative book deal and a media tour aimed at rewriting his legacy.

“President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs,” CAA Co-chairman Richard Lovett claimed in a statement, attempting to spin Biden’s deeply unpopular tenure as something to be admired.

“His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”

Of course, Lovett conveniently ignored Biden’s record of failure—from skyrocketing inflation and open-border policies to his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and inability to handle foreign adversaries like China and Russia.

Biden previously worked with CAA when he published *Promise Me, Dad* in 2017, a memoir centered on his late son Beau. That deal led to his “American Promise” tour, which the agency claims sold over 85,000 tickets across 45 stops.

CAA is no stranger to Democratic power players, representing Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground media company. They also manage a slew of left-wing Hollywood elites, including singer Ariana Grande, actor Pedro Pascal, and baseball star Shohei Ohtani.

While Biden hasn’t announced any concrete plans for his post-presidency career, he made sure to push his favorite talking point—so-called “threats to democracy”—during his last interview in office.

“I really am concerned about how fragile democracy is,” he said. “I really think we’re at an inflection point in history here.”

Translation: Biden is still trying to paint himself as a defender of democracy, despite presiding over an administration that weaponized the DOJ against political opponents and suppressed free speech through Big Tech collusion.

Reports indicate Biden is gearing up to write another book, likely spinning his humiliating downfall in the 2024 election and his reluctant concession to former Vice President Kamala Harris.

He has reportedly told allies that he *would* have beaten President Donald Trump had he stayed in the race—though voters overwhelmingly rejected his leadership, forcing Democrats to push him aside.

As he fades from public life, Biden will likely spend more time at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware—a spot he frequented during his presidency while Americans suffered under his economic policies.

Notably, he hasn’t visited since November, but with his political career effectively over, he’ll have plenty of time to relax as he cashes in on his Hollywood connections.

So-called “Catholics” like Biden and Pelosi would have you believe their Church is gung-ho for Leftism. Well they’ve just been proven dead wrong.

And now a Catholic Bishop broke ranks and gave this Trump order his blessing.

Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, issued a pastoral letter on Jan. 31, making it clear that a responsible immigration policy must uphold both human dignity and the rule of law—not undermine one for the sake of the other.

Opening his letter, Bishop Burbidge extended “pastoral encouragement” to President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Congressional leaders, elected officials, and all Catholics and people of goodwill, urging them “to consider the common good of our country with the light of faith.”

The bishop firmly emphasized that “the rule of law is to defend and promote the common good” and stressed that “comprehensive immigration reform need not harm the dignity of any person.” He made it clear that enforcing immigration laws is not incompatible with treating individuals humanely.

“Even when immigration reform includes repatriation of those persons who have committed violent crimes, or who otherwise violate the terms of a right to remain, human dignity can be respected,” he wrote. “We must not presume a conflict between human dignity and the rule of law.”

Bishop Burbidge did not shy away from addressing the harsh realities of illegal immigration.

“Sadly, some of those who have entered our country, legally or illegally, have committed serious crimes,” he acknowledged. “There must be consequences for such behavior, as there is no place for violence, trafficking, or gang activity in our society. Our laws exist to safeguard the good of all, and they must be respected.”

His words stand in stark contrast to the open-border policies pushed by left-wing politicians, which have allowed dangerous criminals to flood American communities. By affirming that “every country has the right and the responsibility ‘to promote public order, safety, and security through well-regulated borders and just limits on immigration,’” he made it clear that a nation’s duty is first and foremost to its citizens.

He also echoed Pope Francis in reminding Catholics that every migrant is “a child of God.” But unlike the progressive narrative that seeks to blur the lines between legal and illegal immigration, Bishop Burbidge remained firm in the Church’s stance that national sovereignty and security come first.

He highlighted the contributions of legal immigrant communities to the Church in Northern Virginia but reinforced the need to uphold law and order.

The Church, he said, supports “the rights of persons to the integrity and unity of their families irrespective of where they settle” and “the right of all to the spiritual care afforded by the sacraments.”

Catholics, he urged, have a moral obligation to serve those in need, but that does not mean endorsing lawlessness.

“We are also obligated, as believers in Jesus Christ, to serve those who come to us for assistance—no matter who they are.”

In a direct plea to law enforcement, he asked for discretion when it comes to Church spaces but did not suggest that enforcement of the law should be abandoned.

“For these reasons, I plead with those responsible for law enforcement to refrain from entering our sacred spaces unless absolutely and unequivocally necessary to ensure the safety of all persons,” he urged.

Bishop Burbidge concluded with a decisive statement: “We are a Church that stands for justice, not against the enforcement of law, but for its application with mercy and understanding for the good of all persons and our country.”

His message was clear—justice requires a strong, secure border, and law enforcement must be allowed to do its job to protect American communities.

The age of pushover conservatism is over. Now it’s time to get stuff done.

And Trump’s Border Czar went on Fox News and started throwing punches immediately.

Border Czar Tom Homan announced over the weekend that the Trump administration has already made incredible progress in securing the border, slashing illegal crossings by a staggering 93%—a number that even surpasses the success of Trump’s first term.

Speaking on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures, Homan credited President Trump’s decisive action and no-nonsense approach for the rapid turnaround.

“We’ve got the numbers this morning. The crossings on the border are down 93%. 93%!” Homan declared.

“That’s a bigger decrease than under the first Trump administration.”

Homan didn’t mince words about why the strategy is working. “I said it—President Trump’s the game-changer,” he continued.

“No one has had the success he’s had in securing the border. He clearly understands we can’t have strong national security if we don’t have border security. We need to know who’s coming in, what’s coming in, where, and why.”

In just under two weeks, the administration has already achieved tangible results. “We’ve achieved success on the border already,” Homan said.

“We’ve got more work to do. And as far as the deportation operation, I think we got 5,000 arrested the first week, and a majority of them being criminals.”

Homan also took aim at left-wing sanctuary cities, which continue to shield illegal immigrants despite the overwhelming evidence that these policies endanger American communities.

He pushed back against media narratives suggesting the administration is targeting innocent people.

“The ‘non-criminals’ the media keeps talking about? They were arrested in sanctuary cities because you force us into the community rather than allowing us to arrest the bad guy in jail,” Homan explained.

“And when we find that criminal, he’s most likely with others, and they’re going to go, too.”

He made it clear that cities refusing to enforce immigration laws will face the consequences.

“If you want to be a sanctuary city, you’re going to get more agents in the community,” he warned.

Trump’s making waves on the international stage. And not everyone is happy about it.

But this foreign leader wrote one letter that left Donald Trump grinning ear to ear.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro folded yet again under President Trump’s tough new immigration policies, this time urging his citizens who are in the U.S. illegally to quit their jobs “immediately” and return home.

Petro’s plea for voluntary returns came just days after his failed attempt to block deportation flights—an effort that crumbled when Trump responded with the threat of punishing trade tariffs as high as 50%.

Faced with economic consequences his country couldn’t afford, Petro had no choice but to back down.

“I ask undocumented Colombians in the US to immediately leave their jobs in that country and return to Colombia as soon as possible,” Petro posted on X, a message that quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention.

Despite his humiliating reversal, Petro attempted to reframe his surrender as a patriotic move for Colombia’s economic well-being.

“Wealth is produced only by working people,” he claimed, while promising government-backed loans through Colombia’s Department of Social Prosperity.

“Let’s build social wealth in Colombia,” his statement read, as if his sudden about-face had been part of a grand plan all along.

Petro’s initial defiance had included blocking deportation flights and making reckless slurs about newly inaugurated President Trump.

But it didn’t take long for him to cave, allowing U.S. deportation flights to resume— and even offering Colombia’s own military aircraft to help return illegal migrants.

By Tuesday, two Colombian Air Force planes had landed, carrying more than 200 deported migrants, including women and children.

Desperate to save face, Petro welcomed them back with a post on X, declaring that they were now “free” and “in a country that loves them.”

Colombian Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo assured the media that none of the returned migrants had criminal records in the U.S. or Colombia—though it’s unclear whether his claim holds any weight.

Some of the migrants, meanwhile, complained about their treatment on the flights back.

“We were shackled from our feet, our ankles to our hips, like criminals,” José Montaña told AP News, conveniently ignoring the fact that securing deportees during transport is a standard safety measure.

President Trump addressed the showdown with Petro at a House Republican policy conference at his Doral golf club in Florida on Monday.

He made it clear that security protocols would not be changing, reinforcing that migrants must be properly restrained during deportation flights to ensure safety.

Once again, Trump’s leadership proved decisive—forcing yet another weak foreign leader to comply with policies designed to protect American sovereignty.

The FBI was Joe Biden’s personal police. Now their crimes are coming to light.

And the US Senate released a bombshell FBI investigation that revealed a terrifying reality.

Two top Republican lawmakers unveiled whistleblower disclosures on Thursday, exposing how an anti-Trump FBI official bypassed standard procedures to help jumpstart the federal election interference case against President Trump.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin released internal FBI documents and emails, revealing what they describe as a politically motivated scheme led by former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault.

Thibault, who was forced to retire in 2022 after his blatant anti-Trump bias was exposed, played a key role in setting the foundation for special prosecutor Jack Smith’s politically charged case against President Trump over the 2020 election.

According to the newly released records, Thibault personally crafted the initial language that evolved into Smith’s federal prosecution.

The documents show that Thibault essentially opened and approved his own investigation—an egregious breach of standard FBI protocols.

The case was formally titled “Arctic Frost,” a name that would later be tied to the broader Trump elector probe.

Further records reveal that Richard Pilger, a Justice Department official in the Public Integrity Section, not only reviewed but also greenlit the Arctic Frost investigation.

Pilger’s approval allowed the Justice Department to escalate the case into a full-blown criminal investigation, eventually leading to the grand jury proceedings targeting Trump and his allies.

Senator Grassley had already sounded the alarm about Pilger’s troubling record at the DOJ in a 2021 report, warning of his pattern of political bias.

In 2022, Grassley also questioned Thibault’s actions at the FBI, writing:

“I remain very concerned that political bias by a select group of Justice Department and FBI officials has infected the Justice Department’s and FBI’s usual process and procedure to open and pursue high-profile and politically charged investigations.”

Recognizing the dangerous precedent being set, Grassley and Johnson urged Jack Smith in November to preserve all records related to the politically motivated Trump investigations.

“It’s clear how unfair and corrupt the Trump prosecution was, and that’s created little faith at best in the grand jury process,” Grassley declared during the confirmation hearing for President Trump’s FBI Director nominee, Kash Patel.

“Jack Smith’s lawfare efforts and his corrupt process should be what this committee investigates,” he added, calling out the abuse of power behind the Trump prosecutions.

Ultimately, Smith’s case against Trump collapsed, and he withdrew the prosecution after President Trump’s victory in November.

Grassley made it clear that the Senate should not allow remnants of this “corrupt process” to be used against Kash Patel, who had been compelled to testify before Smith’s grand jury in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case under immunity.

Democrats on the Judiciary Committee attempted to pressure Patel into revealing his grand jury testimony, but he stood firm, refusing to do so without access to the full transcript.

His resistance underscores the ongoing fight against the left’s relentless attempts to weaponize the legal system against President Trump and his allies.

The President has been moving fast since taking back the White House. But no one expected this.

And now Trump received a game-changing test result that is dropping jaws.

Polls Show Americans Back Mass Deportations as Liberal Media Melts Down

A majority of Americans now support deporting all illegal immigrants, according to CNN’s own polling expert Harry Enten.

Last week, Enten reported a “massive shift” to the right on immigration, revealing that 55% of Americans want immigration levels decreased—a staggering 17-point jump since 2016.

Despite this overwhelming public support, Democrats and their media allies are in full meltdown mode over President Donald Trump’s sweeping deportation campaign.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) carried out mass arrests on Thursday, targeting criminal aliens across the country.

By the evening, ICE had detained 373 criminals, including child s–x offenders and gang members, along with 165 non-criminal illegal immigrants. These actions come after Trump reversed Biden-era restrictions that prevented ICE from making arrests in so-called “sensitive places.”

But rather than acknowledge the removal of dangerous criminals from American communities, left-wing voices have rushed to condemn the effort.

MSNBC’s Rev. Al Sharpton attacked the operation on Friday, calling Trump’s orders a civil liberties “nightmare” and claiming they promote racial profiling.

“When you look at the fact that there’s a serious element of profiling here, that we’re looking for people of a certain Black or Brown color… He’s opening the doors for police brutality, so I assume that would go with ICE as well,” Sharpton ranted on Morning Joe.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also chimed in, telling MSNBC that Americans never “signed up for actual mass deportations” and accusing Trump of creating an “un-American” police state.

Over on CNN, political commentator Maria Cardona dismissed Trump’s policies as “focused on cruelty, on division, on separating families and on inflicting as much pain as possible.”

Another CNN commentator, Kate Bedingfield, piled on, saying Trump seemed “gleeful in pursuing policies that are hurting young children or hurting young families.”

CNN also aired segments amplifying the supposed “fear” among illegal immigrants and speculating that deportations could hurt economies in areas with large Hispanic populations.

Meanwhile, The New York Times sounded the alarm over Trump’s designation of Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, claiming it could hurt U.S. businesses operating in Mexico.

But while the media spins hysteria, Trump is charging full steam ahead. On Monday, he signed 10 executive orders to crack down on illegal immigration, including restarting border wall construction, ending parole programs, limiting birthright citizenship, and deploying the military to secure the border.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the media outrage, pointing to ICE’s latest arrests as proof that Trump is delivering exactly what the American people voted for.

“The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway,” she posted on X. “Promises made. Promises kept.”

The women of the View have lost their minds. But this makes it undoubtable.

Because Whoopi Goldberg looked straight into the camera and went completely insane.

Whoopi Goldberg took direct aim at White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday, staring straight into the camera on *The View* to accuse her of benefiting from the very “wokeness” she opposes.

During her first press briefing on Tuesday, Leavitt explained that the administration’s Office of Management and Budget had issued a memorandum temporarily freezing federal grants to prevent agencies from funding “wokeness,” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, or other initiatives the administration rejects.

Though a federal judge blocked the memo and it was later rescinded, Leavitt made it clear that the White House would not permit “wokeness” in federal agencies.

That statement sent Goldberg into a rage the following day.

“I would like this young lady—this is her first job—I would like her to do a little homework,” Goldberg fumed.

“Because she said something yesterday that really pissed me off. And that was [when] she said ‘there will be no wokeness here.’ Let me explain something to you, because without that wokeness, you may not have that job because women were not invited to that table.”

Goldberg continued her lecture, insisting that “wokeness” was responsible for women gaining workplace opportunities.

“Women were not invited to many tables in this nation,” she said. “The reason we fought and busted our behinds [was] to make sure that you didn’t have to worry about this. And now, to hear you talk about it and to hear anybody talk about the wokeness—the wokeness was put in place for a reason.”

Goldberg then took it a step further, claiming that “wokeness” was what had allowed women and racial minorities to succeed, supposedly shifting the U.S. from being a “man’s world” to a “person’s world.”

“So please, please stop using that phrase like you know what you’re talking about because you don’t understand what you’re saying,” she continued.

“You’re saying about yourself, ‘Hey, that’s a terrible thing to be.’ It’s not a terrible thing to be, that’s why we fought. That’s what we were fighting for so you could stand in that podium, so that [former White House press secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre could stand at that podium. So women of all kinds of colors and ilks, wherever they came from, whatever their belief system was, they had the opportunity to bust down that door.”

Goldberg wasn’t the only *View* co-host throwing baseless accusations. Joy Behar chimed in with her own theory—without a shred of evidence—that President Donald Trump only appointed Leavitt to the role because of her appearance.

Leavitt, at just 27 years old, is the youngest person to serve as White House press secretary. She held her first briefing without reading from a binder, a stark contrast to her predecessor.

During the briefing, she also announced a major shift in press room access. Seats normally reserved for staff will now be opened up to independent journalists and outlets that previously lacked an official place in the room. Additionally, she confirmed that the mysterious drones spotted over New Jersey were authorized for “research” purposes.

Despite Goldberg’s heated claims, Leavitt’s first appearance at the podium signaled a sharp departure from the past four years—one free from scripted answers and political pandering.

Walz failed as a candidate. Now he’s failing a decent human being.

And Tim Walz is being thrown into court for a truly shameful reason.

Minnesota Democrat Governor and failed vice-presidential hopeful Tim Walz went on an unhinged rant on MSNBC, falsely claiming that Elon Musk gave a N-zi salute after President Trump’s inauguration.

The outrageous smear quickly backfired, with calls on Musk’s platform, X, urging him to take legal action against Walz.

And Musk appears ready to do just that.

During his appearance with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night, Walz unleashed a tirade against Republicans, absurdly accusing them of wanting to “destroy the federal government.”

But he didn’t stop there—he also attacked Musk, declaring, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President (sic) Musk gave a N-zi salute. Of course, he did.”

Creepy Tim Walz says "of course" Elon did a Nazi salute. I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth. pic.twitter.com/fGCrAno02g

The baseless accusation sparked immediate backlash.

Conservative commentator Robby Starbuck called out Walz’s smear on X, posting, “Creepy Tim Walz says ‘of course Elon did a N-zi salute.’ I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth.”

Musk wasted no time in responding. “I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy 🤡,” he fired back.

Smearing conservatives as N-zis is nothing new for Walz.

Just last October, he outrageously compared a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden to a N-zi gathering from the 1930s.

“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz said at an event in Henderson, Nevada.

“There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”

Walz was apparently referring to a 1939 event organized by the pro-Hitler German American Bund, which drew over 20,000 attendees.

Ironically, while he was making his inflammatory remarks, the Democratic National Committee was busy projecting digital messages onto Madison Square Garden, falsely claiming, “Trump praised Hitler.”

If Musk follows through on his lawsuit, it could spell financial disaster for Walz.

According to CBS News, Walz’s net worth is estimated between $117,000 and $330,000, with most of his assets tied up in a retirement account.

The Wall Street Journal estimated his federal pension could be worth up to $800,000—but even that might not be enough to weather a defamation lawsuit from one of the world’s richest men.

Democrats don’t want to admit Trump’s right about anything. But the facts tell the whole story.

And now expert testimony in Congress confirms Trump was right all along.

A top international law expert told the Senate on Tuesday that the United States doesn’t need to wait for China or any other hostile nation to make a move at the Panama Canal before taking decisive action to protect American interests in this vital shipping route.

Eugene Kontorovich, a professor at George Mason University’s Scalia Law School, reminded senators that the U.S. has every right to intervene under its long-standing treaty with Panama. The agreement, established in the 1970s, includes “understandings” that explicitly allow America to defend the canal “against any threat to the regime of neutrality.”

“That’s why the treaty specifically says that we can act, not just to end actual obstructions to the canal,” Kontorovich explained. “We don’t have to wait until the canal is closed by hostile military action. That would be a suicide pact that would be catastrophic for us.”

The Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee’s hearing centered on the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over the canal. A major concern is the Hong Kong-based company Hutchison Ports, which controls ports at both ends of the canal and could act as Beijing’s proxy in a crisis.

This hearing comes as President Trump pushes to regain control of the strategic waterway, highlighting the serious national security risks posed by China’s growing grip on global shipping lanes. Trump has openly accused China of controlling the Panama Canal—a charge that both Panamanian and Chinese officials have, predictably, denied.

Unlike the weak, passive approach of previous administrations, President Trump has refused to rule out military action if necessary to secure U.S. interests.

Witnesses at the hearing acknowledged that the Panama Canal is officially managed by the Panama Canal Authority. However, there is no denying China’s significant influence, especially through Panama’s participation in Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative—another scheme for the CCP to expand its global control.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican from Alaska, raised the alarm over the close ties between Hutchison Ports and the Chinese government. He questioned whether these connections could allow Beijing to disrupt shipping through the canal at will, potentially violating the treaty.

“[The Chinese government] could go to these two companies saying, ‘Hey, shut it down, make it hard, sink a ship in the canal,’” Sullivan warned. “And wouldn’t they be obligated to do that under Chinese law if they were ordered to by the PLA or the CCP?”

Kontorovich acknowledged that while it was unclear if Hutchison Ports would be legally required to follow such an order, the reality is that “Beijing does have many tools of leverage and pressure on these companies.”

Sen. Tim Sheehy, another Republican from Montana, pressed further, asking how quickly China could bring the canal to a standstill. He referenced the 2021 Ever Given disaster, when a massive container ship blocked the Suez Canal for six days, crippling global shipping.

Federal Maritime Commissioner Daniel Maffei conceded that China “could probably do a similar thing,” acknowledging that such an act would be outright terrorism. However, Maffei noted that Beijing doesn’t even need military force to accomplish its goals.

“It’s not hard to close off a waterway,” Maffei admitted. “The Panama Canal is actually quite vulnerable in terms of infrastructure. It’s not, you know, this is not a fort or militarily reinforced location … Why would they bother with a military-like operation when they can get what they want with non-military means?”

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz underscored President Trump’s concerns about China’s growing influence in the region. Over the years, the treaty negotiated by then-President Jimmy Carter—widely criticized as a disastrous giveaway—has been exploited, making the U.S. increasingly vulnerable to foreign control over the canal.

While the hearing focused on the alarming implications of China’s control, Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar attempted to shift the conversation away from this national security crisis. Instead, she bizarrely fixated on President Trump’s decision to freeze federal grant funding, a move designed to prevent wasteful spending and refocus America’s economic priorities.

Klobuchar took issue with a memo from Trump’s acting Office of Management and Budget director, which temporarily paused “all federal financial assistance” except for Social Security and Medicare. The order went into effect Tuesday night.

“Freezing all federal funding already granted to improve port and freight infrastructure through the port infrastructure program, seems to me a major problem we should be addressing if we’re talking about America’s shipping interests,” Klobuchar complained, trying to distract from the real issue: China’s tightening grip on global trade routes.

At the end of the day, President Trump’s America First approach stands in stark contrast to the failed leadership of the past. While Democrats bicker over bureaucratic funding, Trump remains laser-focused on protecting the U.S. from the looming threat of Chinese control over the Panama Canal.

The federal government’s rot runs deeper than most think. And now they’re in for a rude awakening.

Because Trump took the Swamp by surprise with a game changing threat.

The Trump administration is rolling out a sweeping plan to restore accountability in the federal workforce, offering buyouts to nearly all federal employees—including remote workers—as part of President Donald Trump’s push to end the work-from-home culture that has plagued government efficiency. But employees must decide quickly, as the deadline to opt-in is Feb. 6.

From the moment Trump took office, he wasted no time in reversing the failures of the past four years. One of his first directives was a clear mandate: federal employees must return to in-person work.

“After four years of incompetence and failure, President Donald Trump is committed to making our government efficient and productive again,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated Tuesday. “American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers.

“If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of eight months,” she added.

On Tuesday, a government-wide email went out, ensuring that every federal worker understood the administration’s plan.

Trump’s four-pillar approach aims to reintroduce accountability to a bloated bureaucracy: a full return to in-office work, strict oversight for employees with policymaking authority, increased accountability for senior executives, and a reformed hiring process based on merit rather than bureaucratic gamesmanship.

“The government-wide email being sent today is to make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards,” a senior administration official said.

“We’re five years past COVID and just 6 percent of federal employees work full-time in office. That is unacceptable.”

The email confirmed that remote work, a hallmark of Democratic mismanagement, would no longer be tolerated. Federal employees still working remotely since COVID must now return to their physical offices five days a week.

“Going forward, we also expect our physical offices to undergo meaningful consolidation and divestitures, potentially resulting in physical office relocations for a number of federal workers,” the email read.

For those who comply with the return-to-office directive, the Trump administration expressed its gratitude for their “renewed focus” on serving the American people—though the email made it clear that their roles were not guaranteed.

For those who refuse, the administration is offering a “dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program.”

This program, running from Jan. 28 to Feb. 6, allows employees to resign while retaining full pay and benefits and remain exempt from in-person work requirements until Sept. 30, 2025.

Notably, the buyouts will not apply to military personnel, U.S. Postal Service employees, immigration enforcement officials, national security positions, or any other critical roles that agencies deem necessary.

“To be clear, as it was with President Trump’s executive order on Day One, implementation of return-to-work policies will be done by each individual agency in accordance with applicable law,” the senior administration official said.

“We expect 5 to 10 percent of federal employees to quit, and it could lead to $100 billion annually in savings for federal taxpayers.”

With this bold initiative, Trump is delivering exactly what Americans voted for—an efficient, accountable government that works for the people, not an entitled class of bureaucrats who prefer collecting taxpayer-funded paychecks from their couches.
