Ukraine Disturbed Over ‘No Place’ for Mike Pompeo in New Trump Team – Report

President-elect Donald Trump announced last week that former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not serve in the incoming US administration.

Kiev is concerned about the fact that former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not be part of the new US administration following Donald Trump’s election victory, The Economist reports.

Senior Ukrainian officials “were disturbed” when Trump announced “there would be no place for Pompeo, seen as more sympathetic [to Ukraine]”, the media adds, quoting one of the officials as saying that it is “a very negative development”.

“The worry now is that Trump’s offer to Ukraine will come to resemble something closer to ideas put forward by J.D. Vance, the incoming vice president,” something that “would essentially rule out [Ukraine’s] NATO membership“, among other things, the report also said.

This comes after the president-elect denied media reports about his intention to nominate Pompeo as the new secretary of defense.

Incoming Border Czar Suggests Criminal Aliens ‘Self Deport’ — ‘We Know Who You Are and We’re Gonna Come and Find You’

Incoming border czar Tom Homan has suggested that criminal illegal aliens and gang members self-deport because “we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you.”

Appearing on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News, Homan did not hold back about his plans to take a hardline stance against criminal illegal aliens, warning that “criminals and gang members get no grace period.”

“While we’re out prioritizing the public safety threats and national security threats, if you wanna self-deport, you should self-deport because, again, we know who you are, and we’re gonna come and find you,” Homan asserted.

“So if you wanna self-deport, that’s fine,” Homan continued. “But criminals and gang members, they get no favors from this administration. You came to this country illegally, which is a crime. You committed crimes against United States citizens, some heinous crimes. You get no grace period. So we’re coming for you.”

Making himself very clear, Homan said that those who have not committed crimes beyond their illegal border crossing can “put everything in order” and “leave with their family all together.”

Asked about the logistics of the deportations, Homan said criminals would be “put on an airplane” to their country of origin.

Trump has a mandate to end the Ukraine War

While no single foreign policy issue commanded anything near voters’ concern for domestic challenges, the twin spiraling crises in Europe and the Middle East led a large swathe of the electorate to conclude that foreign policy is too important to be left to the technocrats.

President-elect Trump deftly exploited this lingering anti-establishment sentiment first by picking JD Vance as his running mate and then by defining himself against Harris — who did everything she could to advertise the Democratic party to anti-Trump neoconservatives, up to and including by christening Liz Cheney a core campaign surrogate — as the anti-war candidate.

The difficult but necessary work of resolving the Ukraine war, the most dangerous and destructive conflict on the European continent since 1945, now falls to the incoming Trump administration. But doing so requires coming to grips with, and rejecting, the shibboleths and superstitions that have characterized the established approach to Ukraine.

When diagnosing the crises facing U.S. foreign policy, it pays to consult the prior generation of American diplomats. As is well known, the Cold War exercised a disciplining effect on its American and Soviet figurants. The neck to neck nature of that rivalry, coupled with what both parties recognized as the catastrophic consequences of direct confrontation, meant that neither side was in a position to dictate to the other.

The two superpowers were bound to a shared logic of strategic caution that permitted and, indeed, necessitated competition on the margins but harshly discouraged an uncompromising “winner takes all” mentality on existential questions of war and peace.

This provided fertile ground for the development of a decision-making community eager to learn from their mistakes, obsessively grasping for even the most minute ways in which U.S. policy can be refined or reformed. It is not brute coercive force but rather a persistent open-mindedness, tempered by a nagging recognition and respect for the limits of American power, that produced such exertions of political genius as the long telegram and policy of detente that enabled the U.S. to contend on favorable footing with its Soviet competitor.

DOGE Is Official: Trump Announces Elon And Vivek To Head Up Efficiency Drive

Presdient elect Trump has officially announced that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head a new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

In a press release, Trump noted “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the “Save America” Movement.”

Trump added, “It will become, potentially, The Manhattan Project of our time. Republican politicians have dreamed about the objectives of DOGE for a very long time. To drive this kind of drastic change, The Department of Government Efficiency will provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.”

“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans,” Trump continued, adding “Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending.”

“They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the US Government accountable to WE THE PEOPLE,” Trump declared.

‘I Was Paid Nothing’: Oprah Denies Million Dollar Payment By Harris Campaign

Billionaire talk show guru Oprah denies she was paid $1 million by the Harris campaign to host a town hall on the failed Democrat candidate’s behalf.

Oprah made the comments Monday after a TMZ reporter asked her to comment on the election results, which she refused to expound on.

“Not talking about the election. Thank you very much,” she told the reporter.

The reporter then asked about the $1 million payment, “Is it true they [Harris campaign] paid you a million dollars for the endorsement of Kamala?”

“Not true. I was paid nothing — ever,” Oprah replied.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings that show Harpo Productions – of which Oprah is a director, member of the board, and officer of the production company – received a million dollars from the Harris campaign in two $500,000 payments.

A Week After Her Landslide Defeat, Kamala’s Indebted Campaign is Still Begging Supporters For Donations

A week after her landslide defeat to Donald Trump, Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign is still desperately begging its supporters for donations.

According to emails obtained by The Daily Caller, the campaign is asking supporters to contribute to the “Harris Fight Fund” program which they claim will go towards funding legal challenges to races that remain too close to call.

“First and foremost, we want to acknowledge the fear, confusion and sadness many of you are feeling at this moment,” one of the emails says.

“As you read this, there are U.S. Senate and House races that are either too close to call, or within the margin of recounts or certain legal challenges.”

“Can you please rush a contribution to the Harris Fight Fund program today?”

Another fundraising email sent just hours after her defeat says money will be used “help elect Democrats down the ticket to hold the Trump administration accountable.”

“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted,” the email states. “I will never give up the fight for a future where every American can pursue their dreams.”

Given that only a handful of races remain uncalled, it is unclear exactly what the funds will be used for.

Bob Casey, who lost his Pennsylvania Senate seat to businessman Dave McCormick, is among the few Democrats who are still refusing to concede their race.

With the help of Democratic lawyer Mark Elias, Casey is working to try and overturn the final results and is also seeking donations in order to do so.

EU Nations in NATO Prepare for Trump Presidency

European Union nations are concerned about Trump’s victory, as Trump has historically opposed the NATO alliance siphoning funding from the US. Before Trump, only a handful of nations were paying their 2% of GDP obligation. World leaders are now calling for a European army, but a plan is already in place for a unified army that NATO could rapidly deploy.

Now, EU nations host multinational armies of 1,500 troops and have had them in place since 2007, yet they have never been deployed. France famously vetoed plans for a unified European army, but President Macron is now open to creating one. The Baltic nations also oppose a unified EU army as they believe it will decrease NATO’s strength. The UK once vetoed the proposal as well when they were within the bloc.

“If we do not start thinking about ways to organise our common defence, we will not be strong enough when we need to defend ourselves, or our neighbours,” voiced Polish leader Luc Frieden. Poland became the top contributor to NATO in terms of GDP after Russia invaded Ukraine.

“At the beginning, we should go ahead with a coalition of the willing. A few countries that are ready to pool their sovereign rights to be more efficient in defence.” He added, “Of course, each country will want to keep control over important decisions such as when to activate its army, when to send its soldiers to war. But it is also obvious that the current situation does not offer the level of security that we need. So, we need to start thinking about a European army.”

THE FIX IS IN: Maricopa County Releases Another Bogus 97K Ballot Dump as They Steal Kari Lake’s Race

Maricopa County released two batches of ballots on Sunday totaling 120,423 votes, and Democrat Ruben Gallego’s lead over Kari Lake has increased to over 66,000 votes across the state of Arizona.

The estimated number of uncounted ballots statewide is 272,239.

The first batch of 23,169 ballots, released at around 11 am MST Sunday, went more than 55% for Ruben Gallego and just over 41% in favor of Lake, netting Gallego an additional 3,278 votes.

Later, at 7 pm, MST Maricopa dumped 97,254 ballots favoring Gallego 54% to Lake’s 40%, bringing Gallego’s lead above 66,000. Notably, Kamala Harris won only 51% of these votes, and Trump won 47%, which makes no sense.

As The Gateway Pundit reported the night before, the results of 104,407 ballots were eerily similar, with 42.4% for Kari Lake and 54.5% for Ruben Gallego. This came as things started looking up for the Trump-Endorsed Senate hopeful and the remaining ballots were expected to go Lake’s way.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will assume a NEW role in public health, could liberate children from the 77+ dose vaccine schedule

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is in position to assume an important new role within the federal government, a role that has never been filled before. For the first time in U.S. government history, there will be a team of people – led by Kennedy – advocating for children’s health and pushing back against corporate propaganda. If there is ever going to be a time to understand the damage that has been done to American children regarding agrichemicals, food chemicals and vaccines, the next four years present the best opportunity for transparency and action on this crucial, long-ignored front.

Kennedy to face down multiple corrupt influences within the federal government

Kennedy and his team will be forced to combat many corrupt influences among the federal agencies, and he will be tasked with unraveling industry influence, while bringing transparency on these matters to the American people. In this effort, Kennedy will be gaining access to buried data and censored scientific studies on a range of issues.

While there are a range of issue to take on – including things like glyphosate, neonicotinoid pesticides, atrazine, PFOAs, PFAS, high fructose corn syrup, fluoride, food dyes and preservatives – one of the main issues on people’s minds is the childhood vaccine schedule. This is an issue that all new parents are confronted with, and they are often coerced into following the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule.

The CDC’s current childhood vaccine schedule contains upwards of 77 doses of toxic aluminum, formaldehyde, animal cells, antibiotics, and sometimes mercury. The antigens in many of these vaccines are outdated and unnecessary for addressing the current pathogenic strains in the wild. Moreover, the intramuscular route of exposure for respiratory viruses does not provide adequate mucosal immunity and ignores T-cell mediated immunity.

Most damning of all, this childhood vaccine schedule includes multiple doses of the dangerously failed COVID-19 vaccine experiment! Even though all trust in the CDC has been destroyed at this point, parents are often guilted into subjecting their kids to this vaccine schedule, or they are derided as bad parents. They are told that their children will die without these vaccines, and pediatricians often refuse to care for families that don’t submit.
