Fmr Homeland Security Sec Doubts Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan, Teases Ban On Executive Orders

 

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson cast doubt Sunday on NBC News about President-elect Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, after suggesting that presidential executive orders should be banned.

 

During Trump’s campaign, the former president vowed to shut down the U.S. southern border and conduct a large-scale deportation operation. On “Meet the Press,” NBC host Kristen Welker questioned Johnson about Trump’s plan, noting how he planned to continue rolling out his goals for the border after signing executive orders.

 

“So, first of all, somebody should pass a law banning executive orders on day one. Because the reality is executive orders drafted by transition teams without the input of the affected agency before the cabinet secretaries are even confirmed are not great ideas,” Johnson said.

 

Johnson went on to call out the travel ban as an example of an executive order he disagreed with and was involved in during the Obama administration, noting that Guantanamo Bay is still open. The former secretary also said Trump should start with the deportation of criminals, national security threats and recent border crossers, highlighting the “reality of enforcement” even for Trump.

WATCH: U.S. Army Recruiter Says He’d Quit and Help China in a War.

 

A U.S. Army recruiter purported to be Max Zhang has appeared on video suggesting that he would lay down his arms should America and China go to war. Zhang says he would instead remain neutral and aid the Chinese people, though he insists he would not support their communist government.

 

“Being a soldier really isn’t that hard because it’s just a job,” Zhang says. “We don’t need to talk about a country or any loyalty because it’s just a job, right? No matter who you work for, it’s just a job and whoever will pay you.”

 

“In eleven years as a soldier, the U.S. Army has never emphasized how China is bad,” he tells the interviewer. Zhang reiterates: “I’ve never heard it.” He goes on to emphasize that there has been no anti-China indoctrination in the U.S. military, again stating he’s never heard anyone push the idea that China is an enemy of the United States.

‘NEUTRAL.’

 

However, Zhang also appears to admit to concerning Chinese sympathies in the interview, alluding to several illicit vacations he may have taken to the country while stationed in South Korea. When asked what he would do if the U.S. and China went to war, Zhang initially dismissed the idea as unrealistic, warning that “If they went to war, nuclear weapons would be used. It might turn into World War III.”

 

“If war does happen, then I’ll definitely quit the U.S. Army,” Zhang eventually concedes, adding: “I also won’t be joining the Chinese Army because I’m an American citizen.” He stresses that he would want to remain neutral in the conflict and instead try to aid Chinese people who need help.U.S. military personnel take an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” and to “obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over [them].”

CHINESE INFILTRATION.

 

The video interview—if authentic—underscores mounting concerns regarding potential Chinese influence over and infiltration of U.S. military and governmental entities. The National Pulse previously reported that Chinese agents have operated relatively unabated under the Biden government. In March of this year, the House Oversight Committee Chairman, Rep. James Comer (R-KY), acknowledged that China “has infiltrated just about every major part of our federal government.” He added that the infiltration extends to practically all aspects of the economy, the education system, and the corporate sector.

Narrative building continues

 

Body of slain Chabad rabbi found in UAE Israel condemns ‘antisemitic act of terror’

 

Zvi Kogan’s car reportedly found 150km. from Abu Dhabi;Uzbek nationals sent by Iran suspected to have killed him, fled to Turkey; PM vows to catch the killers; UAE angry, shocked

 

Emirati authorities have found the body of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an emissary to Abu Dhabi’s Chabad chapter missing since Thursday, the Prime Minister’s Office and Foreign Ministry said in a joint statement Sunday.

 

Israel’s embassy in Abu Dhabi has been in contact with Kogan’s family in the UAE, the statement said, and family members living Israel have also been updated.

 

The statement called the killing of Kogan “a despicable antisemitic act of terror” and pledged that Israel would use all available means to bring the killers to justice.

 

“With great pain we share that Rabbi Zvi Kogan, Chabad-Lubavitch emissary to Abu Dhabi, UAE, was murdered by terrorists after being abducted on Thursday,” Chabad said in a brief statement on Sunday.

 

Kogan’s body was found in the Emirati city of Al Ain, which borders Oman, around 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Abu Dhabi, though it is not clear if he was killed there or elsewhere, former Israeli Druze politician Ayoob Kara told Reuters in an English-language interview in Dubai.

Several Israelis hurt by relentless Hezbollah fire as 250 rockets fired at north, center

 

Woman wounded when car catches fire after rocket impact in Petah Tikvah; residential buildings damaged in Haifa amid heavy barrage; IDF strikes in Beirut

 

Several people were wounded by rocket fire on Sunday as the Hezbollah terror group fired more than 250 rockets and drones at northern and central Israel in several salvos throughout the day, according to the military and medics.

 

In northern Israel, a man in his 60s was hit by shrapnel to the stomach while working in a field in the Kfar Blum area, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service. He was seriously injured, and taken to Ziv Hospital in Safed for treatment.

 

In Haifa, two men in their fifties were lightly hurt by shrapnel during a rocket barrage on the northern port city, MDA said, and one other person was being treated for acute anxiety.

 

The barrage also caused damage to a residential building in the area.

 

Earlier on Sunday, a woman in her 50s was lightly injured by shrapnel following rocket fire on the Western Galilee at around 7:30 a.m.

Netanyahu for years declined to kill terror chiefs, downplayed Hamas threat — report

 

Channel 12 investigation asserts a pattern of inaction and attempts at appeasing terror group, despite security chiefs’ repeated warnings of invasion; PMO: ‘Baseless lies’

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for years ignored warnings from security chiefs about the growing Hamas threat from Gaza and turned down repeated proposals to kill Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Muhammad Deif, a report claimed Saturday, exploring what was presented as a longstanding doctrine of inaction and hesitation that preceded the Palestinian terror group’s unprecedented invasion and massacre in southern Israel last year.

 

Netanyahu’s office flatly denied the allegations made by Channel 12 news, whose in-depth report highlighted the premier’s priority of defending his image as “Mr. Security” and his aversion to taking risks as key reasons why Israel was unprepared for Hamas’s deadly attack, which killed over 1,200 people and resulted in the kidnapping of over 250 people into Gaza.

 

The investigation said Netanyahu received detailed intelligence in 2014 about Hamas’s plans to invade Israel. In the ensuing years, Hamas operatives repeatedly approached the border fence, but the prime minister blocked any significant Israeli response.

 

In 2018, according to Channel 12, Netanyahu turned down a proposal from the Shin Bet and then-defense minister Avigdor Liberman to kill senior Hamas leaders — including Sinwar and Deif — instead choosing to send then-Mossad chief Yossi Cohen to Qatar to convince the Gulf emirate to send money to Hamas in exchange for quiet in the south.

 

According to the report, Netanyahu chose to ignore intelligence that Qatar was also sending funds to Hamas’s military. He even sent the then-head of the IDF Southern Command Herzi Halevi to Qatar in 2020 to convince its leaders to keep funding Hamas after Doha indicated it wanted to stop sending money to the terror group.

 

Netanyahu also ruled against plans to kill Palestinian Islamic Jihad leaders and West Bank Hamas terrorists, along with an opportunity to assassinate the powerful Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps leader Qassem Soleimani, according to the report.

 

Soleimani was assassinated in 2020 in a US drone strike. Then-US president Donald Trump has since said that Netanyahu had “disappointed” him on this matter and that he had wrongly sought to take credit for the assassination.

Half of U.S. at risk for blackouts during extreme cold this winter, grid watchdog warns

 

“Electricity supplies are at risk from freezing temperatures that threaten reliable operation of BPS [bulk power systems] generators, fuel supply issues for natural-gas-fired generation, and wind and solar resource energy limitations,” the report states.

 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s legal team on Sunday requested a new, 15-day postponement of the beginning of his testimony in court in his ongoing criminal trial, saying that despite their best efforts, the prime minister and his defense attorneys will not be prepared by the scheduled date of December 2.

 

Earlier this month, Netanyahu’s defense team requested a 10-week delay, but the court rejected the request, saying it had given him five months to prepare when it originally scheduled the date back in July.

 

Netanyahu’s lawyers said that since the court rejected that request on November 13, and even in the months before that, they and the prime minister had made “a supreme effort” to prepare for his giving testimony, including daily meetings at very late hours.

 

“Despite this supreme effort, the defense is not prepared, and will not be able to meet the goal of being prepared, for beginning the defense by December 2,” Netanyahu’s defense team said.

 

His lawyers also said that preparations were further encumbered by the decision by the International Criminal Court on Thursday to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity

 

The prime minister has been charged with fraud and breach of trust in two cases and bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in a third. He was indicted almost five years ago, in January 2020, and the trial began in May of that year.

Half of U.S. at risk for blackouts during extreme cold this winter, grid watchdog warns

 

“Electricity supplies are at risk from freezing temperatures that threaten reliable operation of BPS [bulk power systems] generators, fuel supply issues for natural-gas-fired generation, and wind and solar resource energy limitations,” the report states.

 

A new report by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which assesses the United States and Canada’s grid reliability, finds that much of the central and eastern U.S. could experience blackouts should a significant and lasting cold snap descend on the nation.

 

“Electricity supplies are at risk from freezing temperatures that threaten reliable operation of BPS [bulk power systems] generators, fuel supply issues for natural-gas-fired generation, and wind and solar resource energy limitations,” the report warned.

 

NERC has been warning for years that increased reliance on unreliable wind and solar threaten grid reliability, but the “2024-2025 Winter Reliability Assessment" explains that as coal resources diminish and the U.S. becomes more reliant on natural gas, pipeline infrastructure may not be adequate to ensure a secure supply to homes and generators.

 

With the U.S. Energy Information Administration anticipating a colder winter this year, the problem is compounded, according to the report released Thursday.

 

“Natural-gas-fired power generator availability and output can be threatened when natural gas supplies are insufficient or when the flow of fuel is unable to be maintained,” the report warns.

 

The areas under the greatest risk of blackouts are those where coal- and natural gas-fired power plants have been taken offline, as well as those who have limited pipeline capacity to ensure secure supplies of natural gas.

 

The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), which covers 15 states over the Midwest, northern Great Plains, and south-central U.S., reduced its coal- and natural gas-fired generators by 5 gigawatts since last year. NERC warns that is going to create problems should there be a serious cold snap.

 

“With fewer internal dispatchable resources and increasing reliance on wind and imports, the risk of supply shortfall in winter has increased in MISO,” the report said.

 

The average American home consumes approximately 899,000 watt hours per month.k Homes consume electricity at different rates during different times of the day, so it’s hard to say, especially with intermittent wind and solar, how many homes could be powered with 5 gigawatts of capacity.

 

Five gigawatts of electricity generation running for 1 hour could power 50 million 100-watt lightbulbs for one hour.

 

The Southwest Power Pool, which covers a stretch of the central Great Plains, according to the NERC report, has lost 4 gigawatts of generation capacity from last year. Of that amount, 2 gigawatts is from adjustments in wind and solar capacity, which has a lower energy value during the winter season.

 

New York and New England both face increased risk of blackouts, according to NERC, due to increased dependency on unreliable wind and solar resources, as well as pipeline issues. PJM, which covers all or parts of a dozen states south of Pennsylvania, including the District of Columbia, is facing litigation over a natural gas pipeline expansion project. If the litigation shuts down the facilities, the PJM area could see problems, the report states.

 

Natural gas producers, however, disputed some of the report’s conclusions, Utility Dive reports. Dena Wiggins, president and CEO of the Natural Gas Supply Association NGSA), said in a statement that its members “take a multitude of proactive measures to prepare for winter weather so that we can provide safe and reliable service to our customers.”

 

A NGSA fact sheet details some of the actions the members have taken, including improved communications, increased protection of facilities and equipment, and post-event analysis to track performance and improve weatherization practices.

Trump’s Jewish outreach chief on President-elect's vision for US-Israel relations - exclusive

 

Trump aims to boost Jewish voter support to 40%, advisor Yehuda Kaploun shares exclusive insights with 'The Jerusalem Post'.

 

It was a quiet evening at Trump’s Bedminster estate when the president-elect turned to Yehuda Kaploun over dinner and asked a pointed question: “Why do only 25% of Jews support me?”

 

Kaploun, a prominent Miami-based businessman and longtime confidant of Trump, didn’t hesitate to explain the complexities of Jewish identity and politics. The conversation evolved into a brainstorming session, with Trump expressing his frustration and ambition to increase Jewish support to 40% in the next election.

 

Then, almost as if to seal the deal, Trump leaned in and added, “This time around, I don’t want to let you go. You’re going to be part of this.” For Kaploun, it wasn’t just a personal request—it was a testament to the trust and respect he had earned over decades of friendship with the president-elect.

 

“I’ve always preferred working behind the scenes,” Kaploun admitted. “But given the challenges the Jewish community faces today, I realized it was time to speak publicly.”

 

A legacy of service

Kaploun explained that his commitment to leadership and community-building stems from his upbringing. Born in Kfar Chabad, Israel, to parents sent by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Kaploun’s family later moved to New Haven, Connecticut, where his father served as a rabbi and educator.

 

“Community service is in my DNA,” Kaploun said. “From my great-grandfather, who built Jewish life in Australia, to my own parents, who dedicated their lives to education, I’ve always understood the importance of responsibility.”

 

Today, Kaploun balances his professional life as an innovator in water technology with his efforts to unite the Jewish community. His company, RussKap Water, is a global leader in producing drinking water from the air, but his influence extends far beyond business.

 

Kaploun avoided the limelight for years, preferring to work discreetly to support Jewish causes and advise leaders. However, the growing divide within the Jewish community, coupled with Trump’s desire to connect with more Jewish voters, changed his perspective.

 

“Trump was genuinely frustrated about his level of support from the Jewish community,” Kaploun said, recalling their conversation in Bedminster. “He asked me, ‘How do I connect with everyone?’ That question stayed with me. I realized I had a responsibility to help bridge the gap.”

Putin Signs Law Banning Adoption of Children to Citizens of Countries Allowing Gender Transition

 

On Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill into law that prohibits the adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transition surgery is legal.

 

Russian lower house Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin, who was one of the authors of the bill, in response to Putin signing the bill into law, shared, “It is extremely important to eliminate possible dangers in the form of gender reassignment that adopted children may face in these countries.”

 

The adoption ban would apply to 15 countries, including Australia, Argentina, Canada, and several European countries.

 

Russia previously banned citizens from the United States from adopting Russian children in 2012.

 

Putin also signed legislation that bans the spread of material that discourages people from having children.

Who Rules The World? The Origin Of Evil : Ancient Mythology Or Occult Reality? Part One.

 

Many people would naively answer the above question by saying that Barrack Obama, the current Glove Puppet US President does. Others might proclaim that it is the UN which exercises global authority. Some of those involved in the same field of research as myself might say that the Rothschild's and the Illuminati are theLords of this world.Many Christians and Jews will say it is our creator, Yahweh, who should be rightfully regarded as such, for after all, he isThe Lord.The faithful followers of Islam will pronounce thatAllah` is the almighty most merciful ruler over all creation. Would you be surprised then to discover that nowhere does the Bible say that either Jesus Christ or his Heavenly Father are the real rulers of this world. On the contrary, the scriptures record Jesus as having said: "The ruler of this world will be cast out." And he added: "The ruler of the world is coming, and he has no hold on me."—John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11.

 

Discovering The Truth:

 

Those of you who do not consider the Holy Scriptures (or the Koran for that matter) as being the word of God, may be wondering where all of this is leading. But I ask you to bear with me. Contrary to what many who read my articles believe, I am not in any shape or form one who simply accepts all the Biblical accounts without question. Perhaps life might be easier if I did, but that's another story. Even two years ago, if not a confirmed Atheist, I was at the very least highly sceptical about all religion and like many these days raised in the Christian faith, of that belief system particularly.

 

However, over those two years, having read countless books and articles relating to the Illuminati and the Global Conspiracy to create a One World Dictatorship, time and again I have found myself resorting to the Holy Book for explanations, and it is therefore from that book of ages, along with the Book Of Enoch and the Holy Koran that I have taken reference from in the main.

 

The subject matter we are dealing with here is immense and beyond the scope of an article of this nature. However, I hope that what follows will excite the reader's interest sufficiently to prompt further investigation into this important and fascinating subject.

Gov. Abbott Targets CCP Infiltration In Texas

 

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has issued two more executive orders targeting Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence in his state, after announcing an initial order on Nov. 18 aimed at protecting local dissidents from the Chinese regime’s harassment.

 

Abbott signed Executive Order No. GA-49 on Nov. 20 to safeguard critical infrastructure from cyberattacks and issued Executive Order No. GA-48 on Nov. 19 to protect Texans from the CCP’s espionage operations.

 

Executive Order No. GA-49 directs the Texas Division of Emergency Management and the Public Utility Commission of Texas to prepare for any potential cyberattacks aimed at the state’s critical infrastructure.

 

Under Abbott’s order, the two agencies will create a task force to study potential vulnerabilities within government systems and critical infrastructure, run response simulations to cyberattacks, and put together a committee of state agencies to “simulate a restart of Texas’ electric grid in the event of a foreign attack,” according to a Wednesday statement.

 

“China has made it clear that they can—and will—target and attack America’s critical infrastructure,” Abbott said in the statement. “Texas will continue to protect our critical infrastructure to ensure the safety of Texans from potential threats by the Chinese Communist Party or any hostile foreign government.”

 

The order highlighted Volt Typhoon, one of China’s state-sponsored threat groups, and how it had targeted communications, energy, transportation, water, and wastewater systems in the United States and its territories.

 

Volt Typhoon, which was dismantled by a multi-agency operation in January, had maintained “access and footholds within some victim IT environments for at least five years,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in February.

 

The order also cited FBI Director Christopher Wray’s warnings at the Vanderbilt Summit in Nashville in April, when he said that China “has made it clear that it considers every sector that makes our society run as fair game in its bid to dominate on the world stage.”
