Donald Trump has pulled Secret Service protection from Hunter and Ashley Biden.

Trump said on Hunter Biden, “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned.”

Trump said about Ashley Biden, “Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list.”

Truth Social:

Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer. There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous! He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned. Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance. Please be advised that, effective immediately, Hunter Biden will no longer receive Secret Service protection. Likewise, Ashley Biden who has 13 agents will be taken off the list.

According to the AP, there was no immediate response from Joe Biden’s office.

AP reported:

There was no immediate reaction from the former president’s office.

Former presidents and their spouses receive life-long Secret Service protection under federal law, but the protection afforded to their immediate families over the age of 16 ends when they leave office, though both Trump and Biden extended the details for their children for six months before leaving office.

Donald Trump is saving the American people money.

Donald Trump announced that the pardons Joe Biden gave to the January 6th committee members are “VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT.”

Trump said since they were done by Autopen “Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”

Truth Social:

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

All nine members of the January 6th panel were pardoned by Joe Biden.

That included Liz Cheney.

New York Post reported:

Biden preemptively pardons all nine members of the Jan. 6 Committee, including the two leaders — Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., and then-Rep. Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican who later pledged to vote for then-Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2025 election,

On the last day of his presidency, Biden issued a string of 11th-hour pardons, including preemptive pardons to Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Trump is exposing the Autopen scandal!

Granite Construction company has gotten the first border wall contract of Donald Trump’s second term.

The contract is to extend the border wall along the southern border.

A press release from U.S. Customs and Border Protection reads, “The RGV Sector is an area of high-illegal entry and experiences large numbers of individuals and narcotics being smuggled into the country illegally.”

Announcing today – we’re building 7 more miles of wall.

MSN reported:

United States Customs and Border Protection has awarded a construction company roughly $70 million to a extend the wall along the southern border, in the first such contract of President Trump’s second term.

The contract tasks Granite Construction Co., a California-based company that has worked on government projects before, with building approximately seven more miles of the wall on a stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border in Hidalgo County, Texas. Border Patrol announced the contract Saturday, saying it aims to “close critical openings” in the wall only partially built under Mr. Trump’s direction during his first presidency. Former President Joe Biden froze funding for the border wall program when he took office.

Press Release From CBP.gov:

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) awarded the first border wall contract of President Trump’s second term in office to Granite Construction Co. for $70,285,846 to construct approximately seven miles of new border wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, within the U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector. This contract is funded with CBP’s Fiscal Year 2021 funds and will close critical openings in the border wall that were left incomplete due to cancelled contracts during the Biden Administration.

The RGV Sector is an area of high-illegal entry and experiences large numbers of individuals and narcotics being smuggled into the country illegally. Completing the border wall in these locations will support the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) ability to impede and deny illegal border crossings and the drug- and human-smuggling activities of cartels.

DHS is working to implement President Trump’s Executive Orders titled “Securing our Borders” and “Declaring a National Emergency at the Southern Border of the United States” – which directs the DHS Secretary to take all appropriate actions to deploy and construct physical barriers to ensure complete operational control of the southern border of the United States.

The wall is being built!

The Biden administration’s use of the Autopen have raised questions about who was really in charge.

Fox News reported:

The majority of official documents signed by President Joe Biden allegedly used the same autopen signature, reinvigorating concerns over the former president’s mental acuity and if he “actually ordered the signature of relevant legal documents,” a report published by an arm of the Heritage Foundation found.

“WHOEVER CONTROLLED THE AUTOPEN CONTROLLED THE PRESIDENCY,” the Oversight Project, which is an initiative within the conservative Heritage Foundation that investigates the government to bolster transparency, posted to X on Thursday.

“We gathered every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year. Here is the autopen signature,” the group claimed on X, accompanied by photo examples.

Donald Trump is now talking about the scandal.

In a Truth Social post, he said, “the real President during the Biden years was the person who controlled the Autopen!”

Today the fugitive leader of ISIS in Iraq was killed. He was relentlessly hunted down by our intrepid warfighters. His miserable life was terminated, along with another member of ISIS, in coordination with the Iraqi Government and the Kurdish Regional Government. PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!

US forces working with Iraqi intelligence and security services killed a high-profile leader of the Islamic State in an airstrike in western Iraq, according to officials from the two countries.

Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rifai, alias ‘Abu Khadijah,’ was known as the “deputy caliph” of the militant group and “one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and the world,” Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said in a statement posted on X.

The US and Iraqi troops found the two ISIS members dead at the site of the strike. Both were “wearing un-exploded ‘suicide vests’ and had multiple weapons,” according to the CENTCOM statement.

Fox News reported:

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell revealed on Wednesday night that he was exhausted by covering President Donald Trump and that he was taking a week off from hosting his show, “The Last Word,” lamenting that it was only day 52 of Trump’s second term.

“I know you’ve pledged to cover and be here for the first hundred days of the Trump presidency. I hope you noticed that I did not make that same pledge,” O’Donnell told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

…

“This is day 52. I thought it was day 92. It turns out it’s day 52, Rachel, and I’m exhausted at day 52, and so I’m going to take next week off. And I’m telling you that now because I know you don’t like it when I just drift away. I’m just taking next week off, then I can come back and go with you all the way to the hundred days,” O’Donnell continued.

Rachel Maddow also seemingly signaled she would like to take time off from covering the Trump presidency.

Transcript via Mediaite: 

MADDOW: I’m getting — I’m pre-mad right now. It’s like — and it’s not even tomorrow yet. Take me with you. Can I go with you? Where are you going? Don’t tell me where you’re going.

O’DONNELL: No, no, no. You said 100 days, you said 100 days. You can’t. You said 100 days. On the 101st day, Rachel, you and I, we’re—

MADDOW: Poof.

O’DONNELL: Yeah, right! Happy day 52, Rachel.

Donald Trump is winning and keeping his promises to the American people!

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer appears to have caved on the budget.

Schumer said he intends to vote in favor of cloture which would allow for the GOP to pass the budget with a simple majority.

Trending Politics reported:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) indicated Thursday that he intends to vote in favor of cloture, which would allow Senate Republicans to need only a simple majority to enact the House-passed continuing resolution to fund the federal government through September.

If Democrats do not move to waive cloture, Senate Republicans would need the help of multiple Democrats in order to pass the bill. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has announced his opposition to the legislation, meaning that eight Senate Democrats would need to join with Republicans in order to avoid a shutdown.

…

Less than 24 hours later, Schumer appears to be backing down on the shutdown threat from Senate Democrats. According to a report from ABC News, Democrats are working on a plan that would give Republicans the necessary votes to advance the bill in exchange for a vote on their own amendment, which would allow for a 30-day stopgap measure in order to allow additional negotiations on a budget bill.

Some Democrats are fuming at Schumer over this.

AOC said, “I cannot underscore enough how incorrect that is.”

Susan Rice said, “WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.”

Fox News reported: 

“I cannot underscore enough how incorrect that is,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said of Schumer’s argument. “What voting for this CR does is that it codifies the chaos and the reckless cuts that Elon Musk has been pursuing, the robbing of our federal government in order to finance tax cuts for billionaires is what is happening. And that is what Senate Democrats will be empowering if they vote for this CR.”

“Respectfully Senator Schumer, no,” Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J., wrote on X. “This Republican bill is bad for workers, bad for our veterans, bad for our seniors. Republicans should pull it and let us get back to work crafting a budget that works for all of our families.”

“WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly,” wrote Susan Rice, who served as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and then as national security advisor during President Barack Obama’s administration. She later served as domestic policy advisor during a portion of President Joe Biden’s administration.

“It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t!” Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, declared on X. “I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.”

Donald Trump responded to Schumer caving by saying, “This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning!”

Truth Social:

Congratulations to Chuck Schumer for doing the right thing — Took “guts” and courage! The big Tax Cuts, L.A. fire fix, Debt Ceiling Bill, and so much more, is coming. We should all work together on that very dangerous situation. A non pass would be a Country destroyer, approval will lead us to new heights. Again, really good and smart move by Senator Schumer. This could lead to something big for the USA, a whole new direction and beginning! DJT

The Democrat party is in complete disarray.

Donald Trump expects to speak to Russian President Vladimir Putin about a ceasefire deal this week.

Trump said, “Very importantly, and I said it, Ukraine: ceasefire…, just agreed to a little while ago. Now we have to go to Russia, and hopefully, President Putin will agree to that also, and we can get this show on the road.”

Breitbart reported:

President Donald Trump said he expects to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week now that Ukraine has accepted a potential ceasefire deal negotiated by the United States, which is contingent on Russia also agreeing to it.

…

“Very importantly, and I said it, Ukraine: ceasefire…, just agreed to a little while ago. Now we have to go to Russia, and hopefully, President Putin will agree to that also, and we can get this show on the road.” Trump said, flanked by Musk and his son, X.

Trump emphasized, “We want to get that war over with,” after stating anywhere from 2,000-4,000 Ukrainian and Russian soldiers are killed in a given week, and civilians are “being killed outside of that,” citing intelligence reports he receives.

“I think it’s a big difference between the last visit you saw at the Oval Office and… that’s a total ceasefire. Ukraine has agreed to it, and hopefully, Russia will agree to it,” Trump said. “We’re going to meet with them later on today and tomorrow, and hopefully, we’ll be able to wipe out a deal.”

U.S. arms deliveries to Ukraine resumed after Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire deal.

AP News reported:

U.S. arms deliveries to Ukraine resumed Wednesday, officials said, a day after the Trump administration lifted its suspension of military aid for Kyiv in its fight against Russia’s invasion, and officials awaited the Kremlin’s response to a proposed 30-day ceasefire endorsed by Ukraine.

Donald Trump continues to fight for peace!
