Never Mike Turner

Deep State Weighs In – Mike Turner Interviewed by CBS Margaret Brennan

May 4, 2025 | Sundance

At the behest of President Donald Trump, House SpeakerMike Johnson previously removed House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) Chairman Mike Turner from his position. Representative Mike Turner is no longer Chairman of HPSCI.This was a big loss for the Deep State.

The removal timing was not coincidental as it followed President Trump announcing an intelligence advisory board headed by Devin Nunes {SEE HERE}. In addition to hismanipulative support for Ukraine, in December of 2023 Chairman Turner lied about his FISA-702 renewalhaving support from Devin Nunes and John Ratcliffe {LINK}.Mike Turner was identified as a big fibber; he lied about Nunes; Turner was removed from the HPSCI chair.

After a few months of general invisibility, Mike Turner appears on CBStoday to discuss the tariffs in addition to the removal of his good friend Mike Waltz from the position of National Security Advisor to President Trump. Video and Transcript below.

(They keep on bringing this compromised creeps back in their corrupt opinions. They resurrect the dead like Kamala and Tim Walz, because they are so compromised they will leak, lie and cheat to get kick backs. Turner has hated Trump forever, but when it was clear Trump would win he came kissing up.)

Mike Turner intentionally tried to not condemn Trump although he wanted to. Margaret was trying to set him up as a reasonable replacement for Waltz. It won’t work, his reputation is too loud and proud a Neocon Hawk that supposedly dropped his hatred for Trump. But once you have TDS and loves war, they don’t change. So this interview for NSA leader will be ignored.

Pence says January 6 attack’s failure ‘became a triumph of freedom’ as he receives JFK Profile in Courage Award

Eric Bradner

Former Vice President Mike Pence, with his wife, Karen Pence, far right, is presented with the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award by Jack Schlossberg and his mother, Caroline Kennedy, at a ceremony at the JFK Library on May 4, 2025, in Boston.

CNN —

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Sunday while receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awardthat January 6, 2021, “became a triumph of freedom” because Congress returned to do its constitutional duty after the attack on the Capitol.

“Our institutions held that day, not because of any one person, but because leaders in both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, did their duties,” the former vice president said=while receiving the award for putting his life and career on the line in rejecting President Donald Trump’s pressure to overturn the 2020 election. “So I came tonight to give credit where credit is due, but also to say in these divided times, in these anxious days, I know in my heart that we will find our way forward as one nation.”

Pence refused when Trump repeatedly pressured him to overturn the results of the 2020 election, fraying the relationship between the two men. Pence was presiding as Congress counted Electoral College votes to certify Joe Biden’s victory when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The vice president, his wife, Karen; and his daughter, Charlotte, remained in the Capitol while police beat back the rioters, and Pence later oversaw the election’s certification.

“January 6 was a tragic day,” Pence said Sunday. “But it became a triumph of freedom. And history will record that our institutions held.”

After leaving office, Pence ran against Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. The former vice president dropped out of the race about three months before the first votes were cast after struggling to gain traction in a party that had largely abandoned the Reagan-inspired conservative principles Pence represents and remained loyal to his former boss.

=Pence on Sunday didn’t address Trump’s decision, after returning to power earlier this year, to pardon more than 1,000 people charged in the Capitol attack== and commute the sentences of others. Trump described those charged for their actions as “hostages.”

The former vice president did briefly allude to differences with Trump’s current administration on tariffs, its approach to Ukraine, and the president’s moves to withdraw from international organizations and downsize America’s role in the world.

“Now people who know me know I’m a conservative, but I’m not in a bad mood about it. I believe in a strong defense, limited government, the right to life, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say that might put me in the minority in this room,” Pence told those gathered at Kennedy’s presidential library in Boston.

“But I also have differences with members of my own party, on spending and tariffs, andmy belief that America is the leader of the free world and must continue to stand with Ukraine until the Russian invasion is repelled and a just and lasting peace is secured,” Pence said.

Kennedy’s daughter, Caroline Kennedy, and grandson Jack Schlossberg presented the award.

“At the time, I thought Vice President Pence was just doing his job,” =Caroline Kennedy said. “Only later did I realize that his act of courage saved our government== and warned us about what could happen and is happening right now.”

Schlossberg said Pence put the nation’s interests before his own and “saved America that day.” (Oh how so? The biggest coward in our lifetime, to do his duty.)

Pence has long said former President Kennedy was his childhood hero and his inspiration to go into public service. He said Kennedy’s funeral is one of his earliest memories.

“To be here tonight, bearing witness to a journey that President Kennedy helped inspire in my small life is more meaningful than I can possibly express,” he said.

Pence also said he felt “profoundly unworthy” to receive the award. (That’s the only said he said in his speech) He credited two aides who advised him in the lead-up to January 6, 2021, as well as his wife and daughter, who remained in the Capitol with him. And he praised the US Capitol Police.

“When I think of that fateful day four years ago, the only heroes I saw were wearing uniforms,”Pence said.

(I hope Trump pulled all of Pence’s clearances and the ability to walk in government buildings or talk to the IC agencies. I can’t wait for the big reveal of this pedo and traitor.)

==Collections Are Coming for Millions of Student-Loan Borrowers=

Collections Are Coming for Student-Loan Debt. Your Paychecks Could Be Garnished

(Of course WSJ insinuates it’s so unfair to pay your debts, instead of taking a vacation)

May 5, 2025 5:30

The first collection measures on defaulted loans could start within 30 days.

The Trump administration is starting to put millions of defaulted student-loan borrowers into collectionsMonday and threatening to confiscate their wages, tax refunds and federal benefits.

There are some five million borrowers whose loans are in default,many of whom haven’t made regular payments since the pandemic. Millions more are on the cusp of default, according to the Education Department.

President Trump has made student-debt repayment a priority, a reversal from former President Joe Biden, who attempted to forgive swaths of student debt. Though a pandemic payment pause ended in 2023, the Biden administration extended a no-consequences period for those who didn’t pay through the 2024 election.

The Trump administration says it doesn’t have the authority to wipe away student debt and must collect on it.

Restarting loan payments—or penalties for not doing so—would be a burden for many Americans. It could sap their spending on everything from new cars to restaurant meals at an already uncertain economic moment.

“It’s a substantial additional cost,” said Rikard Bandebo, chief economist at VantageScore, which tracks consumer credit. “People with the added obligation of these payments are going to have to make harder choices on what they spend on.”

Borrowers put student-loan debt on the back burner during the pandemic,and many say they didn’t know they were supposed to start paying again until they saw their credit scores drop in recent months. Companies that handle payments on the government’s behalf say they have worked to keep borrowers updated on what they owe and when.

Loren Linton, an Indiana-based airplane mechanic, canceled a trip to New York recently so he could afford to pay off more of his roughly $11,000 student-loan balance. (Good first him.) He said his automatic payments on his loans stopped due to a technical issue, and he realized there was a problem only when his credit score dropped by nearly 300 points in March.

Linton, 51, has started to work more overtime as he juggles tighter finances, especially because his children are starting as undergraduates themselves in the fall.

“I just feel let down by the whole system because this was supposed to improve our lives, not bring it down,” Linton said.

Those who haven’t made payments in at least nine months are considered in defaultand face the most imminent threat of garnished wages, the Education Department said.

The agency said that on Monday it will start putting borrowers into collections, so some are likely to get notices saying so.That starts a clock until the department may start withholding federal benefits such as tax refunds and social security checks, as well as garnishing wages. The first collection measures could start within 30 days, the Education Department said.

The collections process was standard before the pandemic pause. Still, its return is likely to be a strain for borrowers who reoriented their budgets around not paying their loans during the lengthy reprieve.

Many are already facing other economic challenges. New jobs and higher salaries are harder to come by than during the post-Covid boom. Rapid stock-market gains over the past two years have leveled out recently.

The economy has held up well so far, but analysts worry that the brunt of impacts from Trump’s new tariffs is still to come.April data published Friday showed no big rise in layoffs last month, but economists fear that some companies may soon trim payrolls to keep costs in check.(I fear how wrong Economists are.

Fear Mongering as usual

AfD to sue German intelligence after 'extremist' designation

Germany's far-right AfD party said on Monday it was suing the domestic intelligence agency for labelling it a "right-wing extremist" party, a designation that sparked a row between Berlin and Washington.

Germany's far-right AfD went on the offensive Monday against its designation as a "right-wing extremist" party by the domestic intelligence agency, as the move further inflamed ties with US President Donald Trump's administration.

A spokesman for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) told AFP the party had lodged a court challenge against the BfV agency's designation on Monday, the day before incoming conservative chancellor Friedrich Merz is due to take office.

The BfV intelligence agency said on Friday it considered the AfD a "confirmed" right-wing extremist group, citing the "xenophobic, anti-minority, Islamophobic and anti-Muslim statements made by leading party officials."

The classification will help authorities seek greater powers to monitor the party with phone taps and undercover agents, and has fuelled fresh calls for an outright ban on the AfD.

Members of Trump's administration were quick to leap to the AfD's defence in the wake of the BfV's decision.

US Vice President JD Vance described the AfD which like Trump has campaigned against immigration as "the most popular party in Germany".

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the intelligence agency's move "tyranny in disguise" and said "Germany should reverse course".

The German foreign ministry took the unusual step of replying directly to Rubio on X to say: "This is democracy." It stressed the BfV's move was "the result of a thorough and independent investigation to protect our constitution".

A ministry spokesman reiterated on Monday that Germany "strongly rejects" Rubio's comments and that his "insinuations are certainly unfounded".

'Find new jobs'

The BfV based its decision on a report prepared over years which has been provided to the interior ministry.

The timing of its decision, in the final days of the outgoing centre-left government, sparked claims from the AfD that the move was designed to stymie their growing electoral success.

The AfD came second in Germany's federal election in February with just under 21 percent, behind Merz's conservative CDU-CSU alliance which won nearly 29 percent.

It has since been neck-and-neck with the CDU/CSU in opinion polls, even taking the lead in some of them.

In a statement issued on Sunday ahead of announcing its appeal, the AfD called the BfV's move "illegal" and said that the agency had "no evidence" for claims that the party was a threat to Germany's constitution.

It also rejected the accusation that it was xenophobic or Islamophobic.

The BfV's designation has renewed calls from some politicians including in Merz's CDU/CSU for the AfD to be banned, although the threshold for such an action would be high.

The party has frequently triggered uproar in Germany.

One of its most prominent faces, the party's leader in Thuringia state, Bjoern Hoecke, has twice been convicted for using a banned Nazi slogan and others have been criticised for downplaying Nazi atrocities.

Hoecke caused outrage over the weekend with a reported tweet later deleted in which he urged BfV employees to "find new jobs."

"History shows: 'People have to face the consequences of their actions'," he said, in what was seen as a threat against the agency.

Trump Calls For Big Cuts to ATF Budget, Citing Attacks on Second Amendment

Cam Edwards 5/2/251/2

President Donald Trump's discretionary budget request for fiscal year 2026 has officially been released by the White House, andwhile he's not proposing the ATF be totally defunded, he is demanding a major reduction in spending for the agency.

Under the budget proposal released today, the =ATF would receive $468 million less than this year's budget of roughly $1.62 billion==, and the administration is citing the Biden administration's weaponization of the agency as the rationale for the cuts.

The Budget bolsters the Second Amendment by cutting funding for ATF offices that have criminalized law-abiding gun ownership through regulatory fiat. The previous administration used the ATF to attack gun-owning Americans and undermine the Second Amendment by requiring near universal background checks; subjecting otherwise lawful gun owners to up to 10 years in prison for failing to register pistol braces that make it possible for disabled veterans to use firearms; the imposition of excessive restrictions on homemade firearms; and the revocation of Federal Firearms Licenses, which shut down small businesses across the Nation. The Budget re-prioritizes resources toward illegal firearms traffickers fueling violent crime and crime gun tracing that State and local law enforcement need to track down dangerous criminals, such as MS-13 gang members.

With proposed cuts to the FBI and DEA as well, expect Democrats claim that it's Trump who's interested in defunding the police, and for gun control groups to raise hell in particular about the ATF's budget, which they'll portray as a gift to the firearms industry and its CEOs (Giffords, in particular, has been doing a lot of targeted messaging about gun company CEOs ever since the CEO of United Healthcare was assassinated on a New York street last December). In fact, unnamed sources are already complaining to the press about what Trump's proposed budget would mean. From Reuters:

If enacted, the cuts would force the agency to slash hundreds or more jobs, two of the sources said, in addition to the nearly 600 people who have already accepted the government's deferred resignation option.

The agency employs about 5,300, about half of whom are special agents, according to public records. It has been unable to fill about 150 slots for special agents due to budget cuts in 2024, forcing it to cancel its incoming agent classes, two of the sources said.

Such a decrease would limit the ATF's ability to assist federal, state and local law enforcement from analyzing key ballistic evidence that is often vital to solving homicides and other gun-related crimes.

It would also hamper its ability to help investigate cases involving bombs and arson, a niche area of expertise that many local law enforcement agencies lack, and it would impede it from conducting DNA analysis on shell casings to help solve crimes.

2/2

I'm skeptical about those specific complaints, but if Trump's budget request is approbed it's clear the ATF will have to make do with far less than what it currently receives.The roughly $1.2 billion budget proposed for FY 2026 is far less than what Trump proposed for the agency in the last year of his first term, when he sought a 19% increase in the ATF's budget compared to FY2020. The additional $266.3 million meant 459 new positions; including 243 agents, so the $468 million cut proposed by Trump could result in about 800 fewer ATF staffers, though the 600 employees who have already accepted the early retirement offer from the administration likely means the number of dismissals will be substantially lower than that.

With well over a billion dollars at the ATF's disposal underTrump's budget there should be plenty of money to go after gun traffickers while leaving lawful gun owners free to exercise their Second Amendment rightswithout the heavy hand of the regulatory agency going after them for their pistol braces, selling a firearm from their private collection, or possessing legal firearms and gun parts. After the weaponization under Joe Biden's watch the ATF is in serious need of reform, and the president's budget request is a sign that the Trump administration is serious about reining in the agency's abuses.
