‘Promises Made, Promises Kept’: CNN’s Abby Phillip Credits Trump With Presenting Good Optics On BorderNICOLE SILVERIOMEDIA REPORTERFebruary 07, 20259:25 AM ET

CNN anchor Abby Phillip credited President Donald Trump’s administration Thursday with presenting “good optics” to prove to American voters that they have upheld their campaign promises.

The panelists agreed that the Trump administration has succeeded at using visuals to appeal to the American people, particularly on the handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. Phillip argued that the images of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arresting illegal immigrants with criminal records conveys the message that “promises [were] made, promises kept.”

“Here’s the thing. Whether you support Trump or you don’t, the imagery projects promises made, promises kept on immigration,” Phillip said. “Even the liberals understand and believe that Trump is carrying out that promise, and part of it is the way he is doing it, using military airplanes, doing it on camera, taking Dr. Phil along with him.”

WATCH:

Phillip told former Harris campaign senior adviser Adrienne Elrod that former President Joe Biden would have benefitted from the same use of these optics throughout his term. Elrod, agreeing with Phillip, argued that Democrats should emulate the January 6 Select Committee’s use of visuals in order to “capture the attention” of independent and swing voters.

Former Republican National Committee spokesperson Madison Geslotto said it would have been highly difficult to have good optics for Biden, and argued that it is working for Trump because he is upholding his campaign promises.

“I think the reason the optics are working so well for President Trump is just because of what Abby said, he made all of these promises, whether you like them or not. This is what he promised to voters on the campaign trail throughout this cycle, he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do and not only is he doing it, he’s doing it at a speed that I don’t think a lot of Republicans expected,” Geslotto said==

During his campaign, Trump promised to carry out the largest mass deportation operation of illegal immigrants in U.S. history, reduce the size of the federal government, eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the federal government and end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants.

Since Trump took office, ICE agents have carried out mass arrests throughout the U.S. and in sanctuary states, particularly those with heinous criminal records. Agents arrested over 7,400 illegal immigrants as of Saturday, though that number continues to climb.

The president signed executive orders on his first day in office to declare a national emergency at the southern border, revoke the birthright citizenship status for children born to illegal immigrants, end the Biden-era catch and release policy and reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy.

Footage and images have shown ICE agents and border czar Tom Homan conducting raids in several areas of the U.S., which has led to hundreds of arrests in a single day. One video showed ICE agents arresting a gang member from Haiti with 17 prior convictions in Boston, Massachusetts, along with several other illegal migrants who had been convicted of serious crimes.

FBI Finally Hands Over Names Of Employees Involved In Jan 6 Cases To DOJ

Eireann Van Natta Intelligence State Reporter February 07, 202511:53 AM ET

The FBI complied with President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and turned over the names of employees who investigated cases relating to Jan. 6, according to an email.The FBI relayed the names with a classified system so employees would not be identified publicly, the email sent by acting Director Brian Driscoll and obtained by FBI whistleblower Garret O’Boyle said.

The FBI referred the Daily Caller to the DOJ, which did not get back to the Caller at the time of publication.

“I want to be clear that as of now we do not have information indicating the Department of Justice intends to disseminate these lists publicly, and they are fully aware of the risks we believe are inherent in doing so,” Driscoll wrote in the email.

The email also advises employees to “mitigate [their] digital footprint” to avoid potential safety risks.

The email was reported by CNN. The outlet previously learned that the FBI initially handed over details of certain employees — but not their names. The FBI provided the DOJ with the ID numbers, job titles and any roles employees had in Jan. 6 investigations, a source told the outlet.

“The FBI should’ve handed over the names when they were first asked,”O’Boyle told the Caller. “They knew the request of information was legal, yet they failed to comply. When they did finally comply, they only provided employee identification numbers, and not the names that DOJ requested.”

“Now, the FBI ‘leadership’ has finally complied with what originally was a simple, legal request by their governing department,” he added.

An email sent from FBI Chicago’s Special Agent in Charge (SAC), according to O’Boyle, told employees the DOJ request for information about “cases and personnel” is lawful. Notably, the FBI is a component within the DOJ.

While the FBI adhered to the DOJ’s latest request,Driscoll has not always complied with their orders.

He refused to adhere to a DOJ directive ordering that he aid in the dismissal of agents involved in Jan. 6 cases, several current and former FBI officials told NBC News. However, according to Driscoll, he complied with an order to dismiss eight senior officials.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove stated in a Wednesday memo that FBI employees who acted ethically would not be terminated.

“Let me be clear:No FBI employee who simply followed orders and carried out their duties in an ethical manner with respect to January 6 investigations is at risk of termination or other penalties,” the email obtained by CNN said.

Bove slammed employees who engaged in weaponization and “acted with corrupt or partisan intent” in the memo.

Trump has made it a priority to end government weaponization, and he signed a day one executive order targeting politicization of the DOJ and the intelligence community.

The Senate Judiciary Committee delayed the vote on Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, Thursday. Democrats and chair of the committee, Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, agreed to delay the vote for a week.

Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy noted during the committee’s meeting that many of the Jan. 6 defendants have been overcharged, according to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“I do not see anything wrong with the Department of Justice under new leadership finding out, or trying to find out, why that happened,” Sen. Kennedy stated.

Mike Davis, said that Emil Bove, is an excellent attorney and Political, Mass Murderer for the corrupt(not killing people, just their corruption via the law). Thought that was funny. He was one of Trump’s personal attorney in the Bidan Hoax prosecutions.

I agree with Kash, shut that building down, they will never be able to exorcise it from the 70 years of complete corruption.

Ex-FBI director Comey calls on DOJ and FBI employees to fight Trump administration for lost jobs

(If I was Comey, I would keep my mouth shut, there is always something that has never been revealed about his crimes, and he didn’t get a pardon from Bidan)

By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times - Friday, January 31, 2025

The FBI is requesting a list of all its personnel involved in helping the Justice Department prosecute Jan. 6 cases.

The notice sent within the bureau Friday asked for the names of all agents and supervisors across the country involved in investigating and helping to prosecute people who breached the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Domestic Threat Operations Center is requesting the names from all the field offices. The FBI declined to comment.

Reaction at the bureau is panic, because a wave of terminations at the agency occurred on Thursday. FBI personnel are not sure about the extent of the order, and whether it applies to every FBI employee who ever came across a Jan. 6 case in some way, according to agency sources.

The request for the list came one day after FBI employees were terminated or forced to quit within hours of FBI director nominee Kash Patel’s testimony at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sources say FBI Acting Director Brian Driscoll, a veteran agent whom President Trump appointed to lead the agency until Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in, did not approve of the planned mass terminations.

Mr. Driscoll sent out a bureau-wide memo to FBI employees Friday night informing them that acting Deputy Attorney General, Emil Bove, had asked for a list of all FBI employees who worked on January 6 cases for “a review process to determine whether any additional personnel actions are necessary.”

At least 20 FBI executive assistant directors, assistant directors and special agents in charge from throughout the U.S. were forced out of the agency on Thursday, according to sources. Field offices where top officials lost their posts included Miami, New Orleans, Las Vegas and Washington, D.C.

The Times also learned that squads of FBI agents were walked out from field offices located in New York, Washington, D.C., and Miami. Agents who were walked out of the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

The memo directed Mr. Driscoll to provide this information to Mr. Bove’s office by noon on Tuesday.

The FBI Agents Association called the planned terminations “outrageous.”

“If true, these outrageous actions by acting officials are fundamentally at odds with the law enforcement objectives outlined by President Trump and his support for FBI Agents,” the association said in a statement.

Doctor Says Democrats Suffering ‘Real Crisis’ After Trump’s Win: Depression, Insomnia, Grief, ‘Genuine Fear, Panic’

WENDELL HUSEBO 7 Feb 2025

Opponents of President Donald Trump are suffering severe health issues after his November victory, according to Glenn Burnett, an internal doctor from Wyoming.

Burnett said he advises his patients to turn off computers and televisions to restore their mental health.

Burnett, who spoke with journalist Mark Halprin Thursday night,disclosed many of his Democrat patients are experiencing a number of severe mental health issues due to former Vice President Kamala Harris being defeated.

“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure,” he told Halprin. “And then people are that there’s some genuine fear, panic.”

“I think it has a lot to do with Donald Trump and the fears of what he’s going to do or what’s happening in the country,” he said.

“When Biden was the president,” he said, “I had all kinds of stuff from the other side, but it has been extremely intense … after the election.”

In October,Halprin predicted the loser of the 2024 election might “cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,” telling Tucker Carlson:

I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future for them and their children could be like. And I think that it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals.I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace, … I think there’ll be alcoholism. There’ll be broken marriages.

Burnett said to help his patients, he advises a detox from political news.

“The first thing I tell them to do is to turn their computers off and turn their televisions off,” he said. “The next thing I tell them to do is, if you have had an issue with your family and a lot of them have that, that is so much more important than Kamala Harris or Donald Trump,” he said, “and you need to begin to make amends.”

“I am really hesitant to give people medication for this because I think it’s a grief problem, mainly.

Moscow accuses EU state’s leaders of ‘whipping up war psychosis’

Finland has been calling on its population to prepare for a military confrontation, according Russia’s envoy

The Finnish authorities have been churning up an atmosphere of “war psychosis” and urging people to prepare for a possible war with Russia, according to Moscow’s ambassador to the EU country, Pavel Kuznetsov.

In an interview with RIA Novosti published on Thursday,Kuznetsov said that Finland’s leadership is instilling fear in the population using claims of “Russia’s aggressive plans.”

Helsinki is promoting various initiatives to strengthen military preparedness among civilians, the envoy said.

“There is increased media coverage of bomb shelter renovations, the expansion of shooting club networks, and the extension of the maximum age for reservists,” Kuznetsov observed, adding that such measures are being “widely promoted.”

According to the ambassador, such actions are part of the Finnish government’s attempt to justify the country’s “hasty” NATO accession and increased defense spending.

Finland, which shares an almost 1,300-kilometer-long border with Russia, officially joined the US-led military bloc in April 2023 following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. The Finnish government has since strengthened its defense policies, including expanding military training and civil preparedness programs.

Multiple outlets have reported a sharp rise in interest among Finns in weapons training. Shooting ranges have seen membership soar, and the government has announced plans to open more than 300 new shooting facilities to encourage the trend.

In November 2024, Finland issued guidance on how to prepare for an armed conflict, emphasizing the importance of readiness in the face of potential threats.Several other Nordic countries have also published information advising their populations on how to prepare for a possible war or other unexpected crises.

Sweden has sent out millions of updated booklets entitled “In case of crisis or war,” while Norway has issued pamphlets urging people to be prepared to survive on their own for a week in the event of extreme weather, war, or other threats.

Denmark’s emergency management agency has informed the public how much water, food, and medicine individuals need to get through a crisis lasting three days. In December, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen told a local broadcaster that she has been stocking canned food and other essentials in case of a Russian attack.

NATO has long declared Russia to be a direct threat, and Western officials have repeatedly claimed that if Moscow wins the Ukraine conflict, it could attack other European countries.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dismissed any possibility of a military advance against NATO as “nonsense.”

Putin told US journalist Tucker Carlson last February that the bloc’s leaders are trying to scare their people with an imaginary threat from Moscow, but that “smart people understand perfectly well that this is a fake.”

At the same time, Russia has repeatedly warned against what it describes as NATO’s unprecedented military activity near its western borders in recent years.

(Every EU country that joined NATO are brainwashing their citizens with war, but I also think they are trying to stop Trump from end the Russian Operation. They hate Trump almost as much as they hate Putin.How much money did Bidan give to Finland and Sweden to join NATO. They didn't do it from fear of Russia, because they've always had friendly relations and no problems for decades.)

ICC (that’s Corrupt as Hell) reacts to Trump’s sanctions

The statement comes after the US president imposed punitive measures on the court for going after Israel’s PM and ex-defense chief

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has said it will continue to operate despite being sanctioned by US President Donald Trump.

The Hague-based ICC was established through the 2002 Rome Statute, to which 125 countries are parties.The US, Israel, Russia, China, India and others do not recognize the court’s jurisdiction.

In a statement on Friday, theICC said it “condemns the issuance by the US of an Executive Order seeking to impose sanctions on its officials.” The entity stressed that it “stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world.”

That same day, 79 nations, including Brazil, France, Germany, South Africa and Spain issued a joint statement, expressing “regret” at “attempts to undermine the court’s independence, integrity and impartiality.” The signatories reaffirmed their “continued and unwavering support” for the ICC. (They are not and never were independent.)

President Trump signed the executive order imposing sanctions on the ICC on Thursday.The document states that the court has “set a dangerous precedent”by targeting US nationals as well as senior Israeli officials.(They also did this to Putin.)

The entity “abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant,” the order clarified, referring to the ICC’s decision in November. The international body accuses the two of using starvation as a method of warfare in Gaza. (But they say nothing of Ukraine soldiers and leaders killing Ethnic Russians that live in Ukraine all their lives.)

Trump believes that the ICC’s actions undermine the “critical national security and foreign policy work of the United States government and our allies, including Israel.”

The executive orderenvisages financial and visa-related sanctions on individuals and the immediate family members of those who support ICC investigations into citizens of the US or its allies.

The Guardian, citing sources within the organization, reported last month thatWashington’s measures could affect the ICC’s access to banking systems, IT infrastructure, and insurance providers, posing an “existential threat” to its operations.

The US previously slapped sanctions on then-ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda after the court attempted to investigate alleged American war crimes in Afghanistan in 2020.
