The Atlantic: The Tiny White House Club Making Major National-Security Decisions
Trump has pushed out career experts and aides who challenged him.
During Donald Trump’s first term, his top advisers attempted to run a traditional process for shaping foreign policy, tapping experts from the White House’s National Security Council, debating recommendations from across the government, and steering the president away from decisions that they feared would damage America’s interests. But Trump was deeply mistrustful of the NSC, which he saw as too big, too cumbersome, and too attached to Republican orthodoxy.
Back in office, Trump has pushed away the help of career experts, and major decisions—the handling of the war in Gaza, for example, and negotiations over Ukraine—are now made by a tiny core group of loyal advisers, including Vice President J. D. Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Chief of Staff Susie WiIes, and one or two others. The president “is now fully the quarterback, and he doesn’t want too many guys in the huddle,” a former official, who remains in close contact with the White House, told us. “And those that are there need to run the play he calls, no questions asked.”
In other words our country is now run by a committee of suck-ups and “yes” men focused on staying in the good graces of a senile elderly 34X-felonious buffoon.

Rolling Stone: J.D. Vance Thinks Black Lives Matter Should ‘Celebrate’ Trump
Trump has called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate” and called its supporters “thugs”
Vice President J.D. Vance, who previously spread conspiracy theories about the Black Lives Matter movement, said Saturday that its leaders and supporters should celebrate President Donald Trump because he’s “done more to save Black lives than any leader in our country.”
Trump has called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate” and called its supporters “thugs.” In 2020, Trump deployed the National Guard on people in Washington, D.C. protesting the police murder of George Floyd. He also allegedly said of the protesters, “Can’t you just shoot them?”
In 1973 Trump was sued in federal court for refusing to rent apartments to blacks. Why should blacks celebrate such a bigot?
J.D. Vance Thinks Black Lives Matter Should ‘Celebrate’ Trump
Vice President J.D. Vance wrote that Black Lives Matter supporters should celebrate Donald Trump after Trump negotiated a peace agreement in Africa.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram: Pam Bondi’s Massive Stock Trade Sparks Ethical Concern
Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly sold shares in Trump Media & Technology Group valued between $1 million and $5 million on the same day President Donald Trump announced significant tariffs on global trade. The announcement during a press conference called “Liberation Day” included baseline tariffs on most imports and specific tariffs, such as a 20% rate on the European Union. The news led to a drop of over 10% in Trump Media’s stock, sparking concerns about the ethical implications of Bondi’s actions.
While it remains unclear whether Bondi sold her shares before or after Trump’s announcement, Trump Media registered its top shareholders, including Bondi and Trump, with the Securities and Exchange Commission the day before the sale. The exact connection to her transaction remains uncertain.
Eventually all of this pond scum will be locked up.
Raw Story: ‘Uppity’ J.D. Vance flattened for new screed defying the Supreme Court
In a long post on X, Vance argued, “To say the administration must observe ‘due process’ is to beg the question: what process is due is a function of our resources, the public interest, the status of the accused, the proposed punishment, and so many other factors. To put it in concrete terms, imposing the death penalty on an American citizen requires more legal process than deporting an illegal alien to their country of origin.”
