Robert Kennedy Jr. Praises President Trump’s Order to Declassify RFK, JFK, and MLK Assassination Records 

In May 2023, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed Robert Kennedy, Jr. During our discussion RFK Jr. discussed his father’s assassination in depth. He also discussed his uncle’s assassination.

Robert has spent decades studying the assassinations that were life-changing events during his early years.

Robert Jr. told The Gateway Pundit that his father’s initial impulse was to call the CIA and ask about their involvement.

Robert was picked up early from school and made it home around the same time the CIA Director had arrived at his home.

The transcript from our discussion is published below.

On Thursday MSNBC asked Robert Kennedy, Jr. on his reaction to the news that President Trump was declassifying the Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy, and Martin Luther King assassination records.

Robert Kennedy cheered President Trump for keeping his promises.

NBC Anchor: Do you think is was the right move to declassify the documents?

Robert Kennedy Jr.: I think it’s a great move because we need more transparency in our government. And, he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything.

Donald Trump Signs Executive Order for US Digital Asset Stockpile

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to establish a digital asset stockpile, according to a White House release. Indeed, the “crypto president” is delivering on his promise to Americans and crypto fans to prioritize the industry.

“The digital asset industry plays a crucial role in innovation and economic development in the United States, as well as our Nation’s international leadership,” the release quoting Trump states. “It is therefore the policy of my Administration to support the responsible growth and use of digital assets, blockchain technology, and related technologies across all sectors of the economy…”

During his campaign, Donald Trump spoke highly of cryptocurrency, even speaking at the 2024 Bitcoin Conference. He has already spoken with multiple crypto industry experts since he was elected last November. Additionally, multiple lawmakers and state officials introduced bills to launch strategic state Bitcoin reserves, in a move preparing for a national reserve. Furthermore, the 47th US President appointed Mark Uyeda as acting US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair.

With anti-crypto head Gary Gensler resigning, Uyeda has already made progress amid Trump’s emerging agenda. In his first days, he also announced the arrival of the agency’s inaugural Crypto Task Force. Now, a digital asset stockpile is being formed.

Trump to Halt Gain-of-Function Viral Research Via Executive Order, Per Report

Of course, the big news comes with possibly an even bigger caveat: according to the WSJ’s source, bird flu might be exempt from the temporary ban, which would beg the question: why? 

If the gain-of-function pause should apply to anything, it should be to the virus that the public health authorities have promised over and over and over would be the trigger for pandemic 2.0.

This is not a permanent ban, and ostensibly it does not apply to private-sector actors.

But let’s not look a gift horse in the mouth.

Via Wall Street Journal (emphasis added):

The Trump administration is preparing an executive order that would halt federal funding, at least temporarily, for a risky and controversial kind of research into viruses that makes the pathogens more dangerous or contagious.

The goal of the order would be to stop scientists with U.S. funding from conducting “gain-of-function” research on viruses that could endanger human health, people familiar with the plans said. 

Some viruses, such as the H5N1 bird-flu pathogen, might be exempt from the order, one of the people said. 

The order hasn’t been finalized, and its specifics are a work in progress, the person said.

*Some Republicans have blamed the Covid-19 pandemic on gain-of-function research. Defenders say it helps scientists assess the potential of pathogens to infect humans and find ways to combat them.

“Some Republicans” blame COVID-19 on gain-of-function research? How about various American spy agencies, the House Oversight Committee that did a two-year investigation into the issue, and “anyone with common sense”?

Trump orders Border Patrol to immediately stop setting illegal migrants free in the US: ‘Catch and release is ended’

Goodbye catch-and-release, hello catch-and-deport.

Migrants who are caught illegally crossing the US border will no longer be set free in the US while they await their immigration hearings. Instead, they’ll be taken into custody until they can be deported, Homeland Security sources told The Post.

Border Patrol agents were given the edict by the Trump administration on President Trump’s first full day in office Tuesday. It represents a seismic shift from the “catch-and-release” open border days of the Biden administration, during which around 8 million illegal immigrants flooded into the country.

Under the new orders, illegal migrants stopped at the border can only be released with the approval of from the Department of Homeland Security headquarters in Washington.

Under Biden, migrants often waltzed across the border with no fear of being turned back — emboldened by early signals by the administration that America’s borders were open.

Trump Says He Will ‘Demand’ Rate Cuts, Aligning His Views With Federal Reserve

President Donald Trump, speaking Thursday to the World Economic Forum, called for future interest rate cuts to follow declining oil prices, in remarks that align with the Federal Reserve’s projections for further easing. The speech marks Trump’s first significant commentary on monetary policy since taking office three days ago.

“With oil prices going down, I’ll demand that interest rates drop immediately, and likewise they should be dropping all over the world,” Trump, speaking via video from the U.S., told the audience of global leaders and business elites gathered in the Swiss alpine town. His comments suggest a conditional approach, linking monetary policy to energy markets.

A Rare Accord With the Fed

Trump’s remarks are notable for their congruence with the Federal Reserve’s current outlook. The central bank, under Chair Jerome Powell, has signaled plans to cut interest rates twice more this year, with additional reductions likely in 2026 and 2027. The Fed’s stance reflects expectations that inflation will continue to moderate even as the unemployment rate stays low and the economy grows faster than what the central bank sees as its long-term potential.

This alignment contrasts sharply with Trump’s first term, during which he frequently criticized the Fed for raising rates.

JFK’s grandson issues stern message to Trump after decision to release classified Kennedy assassination files

Jack Schlossberg issued a harsh rebuke to Donald Trump after his order to declassify all remaining documents about the 1963 murder of Schlossberg’s grandfather, former President John F. Kennedy. 

The last secret files about the assassination of Kennedy can now be published after President Trump on Thursday ordered the declassification of all remaining documents about the 1963 murder.

Schlossberg, JFK’s only grandson and a social media darling, took to X to furiously criticize the files’ release and the hype over the information finally coming out.  

‘The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen,’ Schlossberg wrote Thursday. 

The liberal journalist and lawyer then criticized President Trump for using his grandfather’s death to score political points.  

‘Not part of an inevitable grand scheme. Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it.’

Conspiracy theories – which is how Schlossberg labeled what those interested in the files wanted to find out about – continue to swirl 60 years after the killing. 

Any new information will excite the amateur sleuths who continue to wonder whether there is more to the story than just a lone gunman in the shape of Lee Harvey Oswald.

Schumer calls on Trump to declassify government files on UFOs

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) says President Trump should declassify secret government archives about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), in the spirit of greater government transparency.

“Now do UFOs,” Schumer wrote on social platform X in a repost of the White House’s announcement that Trump has ordered government files on John F. Kennedy, the nation’s 35th president, Robert F. Kennedy, his brother, and Martin Luther King Jr. to be declassified.

Schumer and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) introduced a bill in the last Congress to require government records related to UAPs be disclosed unless officials provide reasons for why it should remain classified.

The provisions to require information related to UAPs or UFOs be made public, however, were later stripped from the annual defense authorization bill.

Schumer took up the mantle for calling for greater transparency for government records on UFOs from the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who sponsored a project to investigate incidents surrounding unexplained aerial phenomena.

Trump’s New DEA Head Says Marijuana Is A ‘Gateway Drug’ That Causes Psychosis And Other Mental Health Problems

The official named to run the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as acting administrator subscribes to the “gateway drug” theory for marijuana and believes most people living in states that have legalized cannabis will continue to obtain it from illicit sources such as cartels due to high taxes in regulated markets.

As the Trump administration takes shape, marijuana reform advocates and stakeholders are getting to learn more about the newly announced acting administrator, Derek Maltz. And so far, a review of his record has done little to assure the cannabis community that he would serve as an ally in the push for reform at DEA.

Maltz, who retired from the agency in 2014 after 28 years of service, has made a series of sensational comments about cannabis—at one point linking marijuana use to school shootings, for example. But he evidently also holds a more common prohibitionist position: He thinks cannabis is a gateway to harder drugs, despite numerous studies contradicting that theory.

“Marijuana is not the marijuana from the 70s or the 80s or the 90s. This is higher, pure-THC marijuana,” he said during an interview with NTD at a Turning Point USA event last year. “I’ve talked to doctors about this. It’s actually causing psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety—so it’s really a gateway drug for these kids that don’t know any better.”

New York Times Complains Labeling Mexican Cartels Terrorist Organizations Will ‘Hurt The U.S. Economy’

As Donald Trump gets to work on his agenda, left-wing media organizations like The New York Times are already making fools of themselves.

On his first day in office, Trump signed an executive order designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terror organizations.

His order stated:

The Cartels have engaged in a campaign of violence and terror throughout the Western Hemisphere that has not only destabilized countries with significant importance for our national interests but also flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs.

The Cartels functionally control, through a campaign of assassination, terror, rape, and brute force nearly all illegal traffic across the southern border of the United States.

In certain portions of Mexico, they function as quasi-governmental entities, controlling nearly all aspects of society.

The Cartels’ activities threaten the safety of the American people, the security of the United States, and the stability of the international order in the Western Hemisphere.

Their activities, proximity to, and incursions into the physical territory of the United States pose an unacceptable national security risk to the United States.

However, The New York Times is now arguing that this move will damage the U.S. economy because of the risk of businesses in both countries violating sanctions against terrorist groups.

Their article states.

The foreign terrorist designation could lead to severe penalties — including substantial fines, asset seizures and criminal charges — on companies and individuals found to be paying ransom or extortion payments.

U.S. companies could also be ensnared by standard payments made to Mexican companies that a cartel controls without the American companies’ knowledge.

As a result, companies in the risk-averse American financial sector may simply refuse to wire money to a Mexican factory, for example, to facilitate cross-border production and trade, or to wire money between personal accounts.

…

If money transfer companies like Western Union also stop transactions to Mexico over worries about properly vetting Mexican clients, it could affect the remittances the country relies on.

That would be devastating for the Mexican economy, which received $63.3 billion in remittances in 2023, nearly 5 percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

The Mexican peso has suffered as a result of the designation, as well as the looming threat of tariffs and trade barriers.

Stars & Stripes Globalism: Donald Trump’s Plan For A New World Order

In just a few short days, Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their most obsequious supporters attempted to shift from America First to Empire First in a shocking rebranding of globalism that would make transnational institutions like the World Economic Forum, Council on Foreign Relations, and Bilderberg Group proud. President-elect Trump’s recent statements on conquering Canada, taking over Greenland, acquiring the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico represent a major betrayal of his supporters who were expecting an America First foreign policy program that curtailed the military industrial complex and ended foreign adventurism. This is nothing less than a globalist agenda wrapped in the stars and stripes that might dupe Trump supporters into supporting imperialism.

In response to Trump’s globalist messaging, one viral post on X pondered “how about we bring together the five great Anglosphere democracies in a diplomatic, military and economic union, including unhindered free trade, free movement of labour and an institutionalised military alliance,” to which Elon Musk replied “good idea” – both the initial message and the reply were collectively viewed over 20 million times. Canadian billionaire Kevin O’Leary revealed he met with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago and urged him to “form a North American Union for greater strength. Period. Most Canadians would love to look at that opportunity without giving up their sovereignty.” Meanwhile, so-called conservative podcasters claimed that on a trip to Greenland they “were met by hundreds of people in MAGA hats…that love America and want to be part of America.”
