Trump administration can continue mass firings of federal workers, US judge rules

Feb 20 (Reuters) - The Trump administration can for now continue its mass firings of federal employees, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, rejecting a bid by a group of labor unions to halt President Donald Trump’s dramatic downsizing of the roughly 2.3 million-strong federal workforce.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C. federal court is temporary while the litigation plays out. But it is a win for the Trump administration as it seeks to purge the federal workforce and slash what it deems wasteful and fraudulent government spending.

The National Treasury Employees Union and four other unions sued last week to block the administration from firing hundreds of thousands of federal workers and granting buyouts to employees who quit voluntarily.

JD Vance on CPAC, and the ‘Trump Doctrine’ on Foreign Policy: Germany Not a Friend if It Imprisons People for ‘Mean Tweets’

Vice President JD Vance has shown himself to be a most valuable asset for President Donald J. Trump, especially now that the whole liberal media and planetary Globalist establishment are up in arms against the administration for its no-holds-barred approach to Foreign Policy.

 

Vance caused a sensation (or an outrage if you are leftist-Globalist) with his groundbreaking speech in the Munich Security Conference, where he put European ‘allies’ on notice over the very clear Trump choices for free speech and peace.

 

You can read the complete Vance speech in Jim Hoft’s ICYMI: Here’s Vice President J.D. Vance’s Full Speech on Free Speech and Tyrannical Censorship That Sent European Elites Into a Total Meltdown at the Munich Security Conference (FULL TRANSCRIPT)

 

Today, Vance made an appearance at the CPAC at National Harbor, just outside Washington, D.C., and – among many other themes – once again laid the Basics of President Trump’s Foreign policy, alerting the European ‘allies’ over the fundamental nature of free-speech and how that may impact the security of Germany and other countries.

As Pope Francis spent his sixth day in the hospital under treatment for pneumonia in both lungs, the speculations about his real health status are running crazy, with simultaneous reports about Francis being at death’s door, or else felling a bit better and showing some improvement.

 

Now, yet another version of future developments emerges, with former Vatican department chief of cultural affairs, Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, mentioning the possibility of a Francis resignation.

 

Ravasi said the Pontiff is ‘decisive’, and that he might step down if his health makes him unable to fulfil his duties.

 

The Telegraph reported:

 

“’I think he could do it because he is a person who is quite decisive in his choices’, said Cardinal Ravasi in an interview with Italian radio network RTL on Thursday.”
