Trump Elected: The True MAGA Era Begins, Now What?

To me, this is obviously to make the Democrats and other Trump haters foam at the mouth with indignation. And, of course, they are. I have to ask them if this is anywhere near as serious as priests sexually abusing children, as the pope going "woke" and as the pope agreeing with countries supporting illegal aliens and having them give benefits to them that they don't give to their ow citizens?
The saying from Matthew: 'Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!', comes to mind for some reason :-)
 
Apparently Waltz, the National Security Advisor, was fired because he coordinated too closely with Netanyahu - according to the Washington Post:

Inside Waltz’s ouster: Before Signalgate, talks with Israel angered Trump​

The fired national security adviser engaged in intense coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about military options against Iran ahead of an Oval Office meeting between the Israeli leader and Trump, two people said.

[...] But Waltz also upset Trump after an Oval Office visit in early February by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, when the national security adviser appeared to share the Israeli leader’s conviction that the time was ripe to strike Iran, two of the people said.

Waltz appeared to have engaged in intense coordination with Netanyahu about military options against Iran ahead of an Oval Office meeting between the Israeli leader and Trump, the two people said.

Waltz “wanted to take U.S. policy in a direction Trump wasn’t comfortable with because the U.S. hadn’t attempted a diplomatic solution,” according to one of the people.

“It got back to Trump and the president wasn’t happy with it,” that person said.


Netanyahu’s office released a statement Saturday confirming that he met with Waltz ahead of his Oval Office visit with Trump but denying that he had “intensive contact” with him. [...]

The view by some in the administration was that Waltz was trying to tip the scales in favor of military action and was operating hand in glove with the Israelis.

“If Jim Baker was doing a side deal with the Saudis to subvert George H.W. Bush, you’d be fired,” a Trump adviser said
, referring to Bush’s secretary of state. “You can’t do that. You work for the president of your country, not a president of another country.”

Rubio, the temporary replacement, hails from the same traditionalist wing of the Republican Party as Waltz. But he has more readily shed his old views, officials say, and has emerged as a forceful spokesman for Trump. That includes policy on Russia and Ukraine, where the secretary of state has threatened both sides that Washington could walk away from peace talks, with the consequences seemingly worse for Kyiv.

 

Trump plans to announce the US will call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf, officials tell AP​

President Donald Trump plans to announce next week that the U.S. will refer to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Arabia

The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. The White House and National Security Council didn’t immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

The Persian Gulf has been widely known by that name since the 16th century, although usage of “Gulf of Arabia” and “Arabian Gulf” is dominant in many countries in the Middle East. The government of Iran — formerly Persia — threatened to sue Google in 2012 over the company’s decision not to label the body of water at all on its maps.

On Google Maps in the U.S., the body of water appears as Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf). Apple Maps only says the Persian Gulf.

 
The WHO to be replaced by the Global Wellness Forum? I heard a short interview with one of the new contributors to this forum which sounds promising for moving us into a more healthy and stable environment promoting holistic health and nutrition, regenerative agriculture, stopping transhumanism etc. and is affiliated with RFK Jr. Dr. Tenpenny is on one of the boards.

 
The ceasefire between the US and Houthis does not include Israel, which was "caught off guard" by the US ceasefire and some in Israel are even calling it a "betrayal" by Trump:

It would appear the costs of Trump's war against the Houthis reached a turning point. This excellent article on Sott provides the telling details:

Defiance

Western mainstream news of a ceasefire between Yemen and the US really signal an American defeat.
[...]
What exactly the American announcement means - indeed whether it has an exact meaning known to anyone, especially in a White House busy with producing pope and Jedi memes - has remained unclear

Notable points include:
  • That the US has again lost a war, not only lost, but "have revealed to the world a military that cannot even beat up the much smaller guy anymore - an old US specialty - without making not only a bloody but a silly mess, too."
  • "The campaign has also been expensive, costing (at least, officially) over a billion dollars." I had heard in an interview that the cost was half a billion which was bad enough. So much for those DOGE savings.
  • Although US ships are now supposedly safe, Israeli ships remain targets.
Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, four of the people said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.
Has it been announced anywhere how many US lives have been lost as a result of this declared attempt to completely annihilate the Houthis? What has been revealed is the loss of two F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier into the Red Sea and a third that was most likely not a casualty of "friendly fire" over the Red Sea as asserted last December.

And who knows how much damage our aircraft carriers have sustained. Let's not forget the ship that was sunk according to the Cs:
(L) What was it that got sunk?

A: Aegis class ship.

Q: (Niall) An Aegis class. Okay. That's a cruise ship.

[Aegis refers to the 'modern' fancy electronic and much-hyped Aegis Combat System, not a class of ship. For example, many Arleigh Burke class destroyers have the ACS]

(Niall) Have the Houthis damaged... Have they hit and damaged any of the aircraft carriers?

A: Yes

Q: (Niall) How many?

A: 2

Q: (Niall) Oh my god! That's like - no one knows that! And no one's allowed to know anything. They're not allowed to say it. The US has never officially been hit. It's still all-powerful. In their heads, it's still 1945 and they rule the waves, but the Houthis are sinking them!

So, supposedly all this ridiculous social media clown posturing in conjunction with Trump's absurd boasting/bravado on just about everything including renaming whatever geographical point on the planet he sets his sights on, puts him in the strongest and best position to negotiate with Putin about ending the war with Ukraine? 🤡 If this is truly the 'art of the deal', time to get a new deal!! He's making us the laughingstock of the world along with showing how absolutely weak we are as a military force. But hey, in addition to all that, let's not get too excited that he's not sure if it's really his duty to uphold the Constitution! :shock:

If the Houthi attacks on ships stop due to this ceasefire agreement, then Trump did accomplish the main goal. And the fact that he decided to end this bombing campaign after "only" two months (without even consulting with or telling Israel about the ceasefire) is also a positive - making an escalation with Iran less likely.

If Trump was fully in the pocket of Israel/Mossad, he would not have made a ceasefire agreement that does not include Israel in any way. The firing of Waltz due to his Israeli ties also points towards more independence from Israel. Maybe the public backlash due to supporting Israel is the main reason why Trump is distancing himself more from them.
 
Trump does a really good thing domestically, picking Casey Means for Surgeon General. The previous pick, Janette Nesheiwat, was a bad choice. She was on the wrong side of the covid/lockdown debate. Trump dropped her the day before her confirmation hearing was set to begin.

Casey Means is really smart and based on health. Here is her Rogan appearance.

 
Does anyone know in reality if the Houthis are going to stop attacking all ships or just US ships? I have heard both this morning, and not sure which side was spinning, and hard to tell when Trump is announcing it off the cuff and he does not know what is going on half the time. Like talking about how the Indians and Pakistan "have been fighting for many many decades, and CENTURIES IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT" when both countries literally were India prior to the Indian independence (literally the tragedy of it is whole swathes of the population migrated wholesale when it was announced there would be a religious divide which did not exist prior to that) and the Hindus and Muslims were actually united just prior to that in kicking out the British imperialists (obviously with different visions for the aftermath). And I doubt Trump even knows what the Mughal empire was prior to that. He just says stuff off the cuff.

But if Trump could not even secure safety for non US shippers, which is like most of them, it is even more humiliating. He is probably pissed at both himself and Netanyahu for being made a fool of like this. Hopefully this gives him second thoughts re: Iran. If you cannot handle a bunch of third world desert dwellers, good luck with the Persians.

Apparently only Israeli ships will continue to be under attack:

Are we on the cusp of actual revelations regarding the Epstein chronicles?

BREAKING: A third batch of Epstein court docs just dropped over 400 pages.

The above brings to mind the recent and relatively over-looked striking denunciation of the deceased Pope Francis by excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, expelled for his accusations that the Pope was undermining the Catholic Church and labeling him a "false prophet" and a "servant of Satan", along with his aggressive allegations of a secret "gay mafia" inside the Church that was making it possible to enable all the pedophile priests to keep abusing children, plus so much more.

Excerpt:
The corruption, according to Viganò, extends far beyond the walls of the Vatican. He has exposed the alliance between the Deep State and the Deep Church—a shadowy partnership working towards the enslavement of mankind.

He has fearlessly called out figures like Hillary Clinton, Slade Sohmer (former editor of The Recount, arrested for child pornography), and John Podesta, pointing to their involvement in horrific crimes against children.

His revelations tie into the Jeffrey Epstein case, one of the darkest scandals in modern history. Epstein, as Viganò claims, was running an elaborate blackmail operation on his infamous island, Little St. James, under the control of Israeli intelligence. The operation was designed to trap and control powerful elites by gathering evidence of their participation in unspeakable acts against children.

These are not wild accusations. They are part of a larger puzzle, one that, when put together, reveals an unimaginable horror—a network of power, depravity, and corruption that extends across the highest levels of government, finance, and religious institutions.

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò was a frequent critic of Pope Francis during his reign. Viganò frequently spoke out against the pope’s support for open borders and socialism.

On Monday, following Francis’s death, Carlo Maria Viganò published a scathing report on Francis reign over the Catholic Church. Viganò did not hold back.

Maybe the public backlash due to supporting Israel is the main reason why Trump is distancing himself more from them.
Ya think?! We're all thrilled with the actual positive accomplishments of Trump's term so far - one genocide arrested; two more to go. That doesn't mean he gets a free pass for everything he does, especially over-the-top silly things coming out of the White House whether he's says he's responsible for them or not. Plus, it's been pointed out that executive orders are only as good as the President who issued them while in office. Congress has to make them law otherwise, the next executive office holder can render them null and void just like Trump did to Biden's.

Hooray for all the good things that are getting done - that's what MAGA voted for and expected to happen. Now, with the ball rolling, see it through and stop letting Israel sabotage it all! Norman Finkelstein has been and continues to be a prominent Jewish voice against the Zionist genocide of the Palestinians and he's not alone. An abundance of links here.

Here's a 2:08:52 interview of Finkelstein:

Norman Finkelstein received his PhD from the Princeton University Politics Department, and is best known for his research on Israel and Palestine. In this episode of Robinson’s Podcast, Norman addresses some of the most common arguments made in defense of Israel, such as those purporting to show Israel is not committing genocide, that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism, that Israel is fighting in self-defense, that Egypt is responsible for the crisis, and more. Norman also appeared on episode 192, where he and Robinson discussed October 7th, allegations of genocide and apartheid, and connections between the war and the Holocaust. Norman’s most recent book is I’ll Burn That Bridge When I Get to It! Heretical Thoughts on Identity Politics, Cancel Culture, and Academic Freedom (Sublation Media, 2023).
