Could You please change the name of the thread back.
First of all, the new name looks retarded. Second, the admin thread won't always be about personalities, but with time it will shinft into policies/governance.

Unfortunately people won't understand unless I leave the title as it is. But as for policies of individual federal agencies, you raise a good point. I'll think on it

I agree with TruckDriver9. Let's just allow the Trump Vance thread to be the thread about their administration, including things Trump and Vance do. On the old Roosh forum, there was a hysteria whenever a major news event caused a thread to start getting a lot of traffic. "We have to start policing hte threads and banning people who post in the wrong place!" Unfortunately this has carried over to CiK.

I don't think this is actually a problem at all. The surge of posting from the inauguration will ease off soon enough. The Biden Harris thread worked well for the past four years, and I don't see any reason we can't have a Trump Vance thread the same way. It's not necessary to try to focus it on "the people who work for Trump".

Because Trump gets 1000x as much traffic as Biden. If there is no organization then it becomes a chore to read or find what you want regarding a specific subject. Everything becomes a mixed up chaotic slog. Everyone starts to use the threads that "appear" to be most popular without regards to the title at hand. Later on, years from now, if anyone wants to find something then it's buried beneath a mountain of shitposts and it's impossible to find.

Finally, no one gets banned for off-topic posting unless it's intentional.

I worried after I wrote my post that I might have implied that CiK was banning people. Clearly not.

I meant only the worry had carried over about the need to break topics into multiple threads and police them. However, if that is the way it will be done, I can go along with it.

WHO comments on United States announcement of intent to withdraw

The World Health Organization regrets the announcement that the United States of America intends to withdraw from the Organization.

WHO plays a crucial role in protecting the health and security of the world’s people, including Americans, by addressing the root causes of disease, building stronger health systems, and detecting, preventing and responding to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks, often in dangerous places where others cannot go.

The United States was a founding member of WHO in 1948 and has participated in shaping and governing WHO’s work ever since, alongside 193 other Member States, including through its active participation in the World Health Assembly and Executive Board.
For over seven decades, WHO and the USA have saved countless lives and protected Americans and all people from health threats. Together, we ended smallpox, and together we have brought polio to the brink of eradication. American institutions have contributed to and benefited from membership in WHO.

With the participation of the United States and other Member States, WHO has over the past 7 years implemented the largest set of reforms in its history, to transform our accountability, cost-effectiveness, and impact in countries. This work continues.

We hope the United States will reconsider and we look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue to maintain the partnership between the USA and WHO, for the benefit of the health and well-being of millions of people around the globe.

A CIA spokesperson tells Fox News the "CIA has complied with the executive order" President Trump issued on Monday revoking the security clearances of 50 former intelligence and high-ranking government officials who signed a letter in 2020 that called into question the authenticity the information found in Hunter Biden's laptop. The CIA's Office of Security manages the security clearance process. The 50 officials claimed they saw, "all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation."

Trump administration has stripped schools and churches of immigration enforcement protections.

Enforcement and Ending the Abuse of Humanitarian Parole​

Release Date: January 21, 2025

WASHINGTON – Yesterday, Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman issued two directives essential to ending the invasion of the US southern border and empower law enforcement to protect Americans.

The first directive rescinds the Biden Administration’s guidelines for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) enforcement actions that thwart law enforcement in or near so-called “sensitive” areas. The second directive ends the broad abuse of humanitarian parole and returns the program to a case-by-case basis. ICE and CBP will phase out any parole programs that are not in accordance with the law. The following statement is attributable to a DHS Spokesperson:

“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens—including murders and rapists—who have illegally come into our country. Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.

“The Biden-Harris Administration abused the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants to enter our country. This was all stopped on day one of the Trump Administration. This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of looking at migrants on a case-by-case basis.”

Edward Snowden has powerful allies in new Trump administration​

Deep state whistleblower Edward Snowden may be getting a new lease on life.

The famous fugitive, who has been living in Russia since 2013 after leaking classified National Security Agency documents showing the US was engaged in a massive surveillance program, has been a cause célèbre among left-wing and free speech activists, but has received a chillier reception from Republicans.

But Snowden has some powerful allies in President-elect Trump’s cabinet, insiders told The Post.

Trump’s pick for director of national intelligence, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, co-sponsored a resolution in September 2020 calling on the United States to drop all charges against Snowden.

A person close to Gabbard told The Post clemency for Snowden issue remained important to her and that she would likely push for that in Trump’s second term.

Gabbard co-sponsored the bill with Florida GOP congressman Matt Gaetz, who Trump nominated to be attorney general Though Gaetz was forced to withdraw, he is still expected to retain influence in Trump world.

“Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” Trump said in a Truth Social post after Gaetz withdrew.

Another apparent Snowden ally is Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the presumptive health and human service secretary, who told the Libertarian National Convention in May that he was going to “pardon Edward Snowden.” A month before he promised to build a statue to Snowden.

Reps for Kennedy did not respond to request for comment from The Post.

Vice President Elect J.D. Vance has not taken any public positions on Snowden, but people close to him said they expected him to be sympathetic to the whistleblower’s situation.

“Course correcting the deep state and intelligence community that has a lack of safeguards and oversights and transparency is something he would want,” a person close to Vance said.

Trump was almost there on the issue in the closing days of his first term. In late 2020, the president was “strongly considering” a pardon for Snowden. The issue faced blowback from Trump’s top lieutenants including then-Attorney General Bill Barr and then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who believed Snowden’s action were criminal and harmed national security. Neither is expected to return to roles of influence in Trump’s second term.

“Ed Snowden is a whistleblower who exposed the crimes of others, yet he’s the one who’s been punished while the criminals remain in power. It’s hard to think of a more grotesque injustice. Anyone who argues against his pardon is your enemy,” said Tucker Carlson, a close ally of President Trump.

Team Trump did not respond to request for comment from The Post.

Snowden through his attorney, Ben Wizner said: “This is exactly the kind of case that the pardon power was created for. He broke the law in the public interest, for love of country, and he’s paid a price. He does not belong in exile.”

As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country!
