    Chessboard Facing Trump https://drjohnsblog.substack.com/p/chessboard-facing-trump

    I must hit the road this morning, but there is a lot of chessboard facing Trump as he prepares to take his seat as a player again. there have been negotiations we could not see since the deep-state and oligarchs failed to assassinate Trump in front of the world, with a special camera catching the bullet whiz by his head, instead of catching his brains splattering out.
    This showed a lot of people that Trump was in the heroic archetypal role of Champion-Favored-by-God, which naturally resonates within human consciousness.
    We are entering a period where global financial/economic reset out of growth and into contraction has already begun in stagnation, and will undeniably start to decline.
    World War-3 is the conventional “solution” to reset finance, while keeping the oligarchs in power, using emergency-powers. We must hope and strive for better, to unseat the current oligarchs “peacefully”.

    Alex Krainer has the first, and most comprehensive analysis, to my perception, but that Trump 10-point-plan video is from 2023, which is an important point. It is there for public reaction, but it is not really the current-offer to the oligarchs. Trump’s current offer is included next in the essay.
    ​ A new dawn​, The American people made their stand and won. Now comes the hard part​.
    As I wrote above, now comes the hard part and the struggles will be real. In this sense, cultivating optimism should be regarded as our sacred duty toward the future generations. Many people are warning that Trump is a billionaire, that he’s one of them, that he’s surrounded himself with other billionaires like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, etc, etc. That may be so, but it does not necessarily mean that they are all loyal to the occult oligarchy that we are opposed to. Recall, Robert and John Fitzgerald Kennedy were both part of the American aristocracy and political class, but they both paid with their lives for opposing the oligarchy.
    ​ Throughout history, many reform movements were led by members of the privileged classes who recognized that without reforms, a system under an unrestrained rule of oligarchs is on the road to perdition. Even in ancient Rome, many of the most determined reformers like Catiline, the Gracchi brothers and Julius Caesar were wealthy aristocrats. Like the Kennedy brothers, they all paid for their efforts with their lives.​ https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/a-new-dawn

    ​ Paul Craig Roberts recalls a dream about… Trump’s First Day in Office
    ​ As I began my second cup of coffee, an unsettling realization displaced remembrance of my delightful dream that truth and justice would be restored to America. Long before such a restoration project could get underway Trump and his effective appointees would be assassinated. The evil Democrats and ruling elite and their government and private institutions are still in place. So are their politicized federal judges who regard the Constitution as a barrier to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The school boards overseeing the teaching of white kids that they and their parents are racists are still there. The feminists are still in place turning white women against white men. The lie machine posing as a media is still in place. The corrupt and power-crazed federal agencies remain in place. A demoralized military officered by DEI incompetents is there to be called out against insurrectionist Trump.
    ​ The election of Trump is just the beginning of an insurrection against the anti-American forces that have been successfully assaulting our country for years. Trump without an army in place is confronted by evil with its army in place. As determined as Trump is, his chances are far from certain. If MAGA Americans think that the war is over with Trump’s election, they will be defeated by the institutionalized existing powers that be. Everything depends on Trump’s appointments. All it takes is a bad appointment of a weak man as Attorney General and the Trump insurrection is finished.
    ​ The insurrection that Trump is leading is an existential threat to the existing evil order. The ruling establishment will most certainly not fold up its tents. Already we can see the ruling elite moving to gain Trump’s confidence in George W. Bush’s congratulations to Trump on his victory. Many will be congratulatory and Trump carried away by his success can get the knife in the back.​ https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/11/07/trumps-first-day-in-office/

    NATO states denounce “antisemitism” after Israeli football hooligans riot in Amsterdam
    Alex Lantier

    On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, Israeli football hooligans ran riot in Amsterdam, tearing down Palestinian flags, assaulting Arabs, and chanting anti-Gaza slogans. Some clashed with residents of Amsterdam, where a protest was planned against holding a game between the Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax Amsterdam football clubs during the Gaza genocide. Five people were taken to hospital, and yesterday the Israeli Foreign Ministry said all Maccabi fans were accounted for.

    In this image taken from video, police escort Zionist Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters to the metro, after anti-genocide protesters marched near the soccer stadium, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Thursday, November 7, 2024. [AP Photo/InterVision]
    But Washington and European governments reacted with a deafening propaganda campaign, denouncing those who clashed with the hooligans as “antisemitic.” While no one was killed, far-right Dutch government strongman Geert Wilders is demanding a police crackdown, supposedly to stop a deadly “pogrom” against Jews. As of yesterday, at least 62 people had been detained in a wave of arrests across the city.

    This propaganda campaign is a pack of lies, spun by governments complicit in genocide by their support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. While they are outraged that five Israeli football hooligans were taken to hospital with light injuries, they support the mass murder of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

    US President Joe Biden tweeted: “The Antisemitic attacks on Israeli soccer fans in Amsterdam are despicable and echo dark moments in history when Jews were persecuted. We’ve been in touch with Israeli and Dutch officials and appreciate Dutch authorities’ commitment to holding the perpetrators accountable. We must relentlessly fight Antisemitism, wherever it emerges.”

    European governments made similar comments. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz denounced the clashes as “intolerable” because they “attack us all,” and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof called them a “terrible antisemitic attack.” Equating the clashes with the Holocaust, French President Emmanuel Macron “firmly condemned” violence that he claimed recalls “the most horrific hours of history.” Within the Netherlands, the press campaign is largely directed by Wilders himself.

    “A pogrom in the streets of Amsterdam,” Wilders claimed in one tweet, adding: “Muslims with Palestinian flags hunting down Jews. I will NOT accept that. NEVER. The authorities will be held accountable for their failure to protect the Israeli citizens. Never again.”

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wanted on charges of crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court, said he views the “incident with the utmost gravity.” He demanded “vigorous and swift action” by Dutch authorities.

    These hysterical, unsubstantiated claims that the football clashes were antisemitic acts, or even deadly pogroms, aim to justify a mass police crackdown. No one was killed, nor have Dutch authorities provided evidence that the hooligans who were punched, or in one case thrown into a river, were targeted because they were Jewish. Rather, there is massive video evidence, backed up by statements of Amsterdam police, that Maccabi hooligans’ assaults on people and property in Amsterdam, together with their pro-genocide chants, provoked an eruption of anger.

    There is reason to believe, moreover, that this was a deliberate provocation arranged between Israeli authorities and the far-right Dutch government. In the days before the Maccabi-Ajax game, Dutch newspapers De Telegraaf and Voetbalzone reported that agents of Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence agency would be traveling among the Maccabi fans, supposedly to protect them from Dutch protesters.

    At the stadium, just before the game, the Maccabi fans refused to honor the minute of silence for the thousands of victims of the Valencia floods in Spain, apparently because Madrid has called to recognize a Palestinian state. However, tensions exploded after the game, which Maccabi lost 5-0.

    Maccabi hooligans “began attacking houses of people in Amsterdam with Palestinian flags, so that’s actually where the violence started,” Amsterdam city councilman Jazie Veldhuyzen told Al Jazeera yesterday. “As a reaction, Amsterdammers mobilised themselves and countered the attacks that started on Wednesday by the Maccabi hooligans.”

    Maccabi hooligans rampaged across the city, tearing up Palestinian flags, hitting taxis driven by Arabic drivers with crowbars, and chanting pro-genocide slogans. These included “There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left,” “F*ck Palestine,” “IDF [Israel Defense Forces] f*ck the Arabs,” and “Death to Arabs! We will win.”

    Amsterdam police chief Peter Holla confirmed reports of attacks that night by Maccabi fans. He told France24 news: “Violence had begun Wednesday night between fans. During the night, there were incidents on both sides. The Maccabi fans took down a flag from a façade of the Rokin [canal] in Amsterdam and destroyed a taxi. One Palestinian flag was burned.”

    Comparisons by Biden, Macron, and others between clashes with Maccabi football hooligans and the Holocaust are politically obscene lies. During World War II, three-quarters of the Netherlands’ 140,000 Jews were deported and murdered on an industrial scale in Nazi death camps. When the working class opposed these deportations, as in the February 1941 Amsterdam general strike, Nazi authorities and members of Anton Mussert’s pro-Nazi, Dutch National Socialist Movement (NSB) gunned down dozens of workers, both Jewish and non-Jewish.

    The force carrying out a genocide today is not the working class of Amsterdam, but the Zionist regime, backed by NATO governments. These include Wilders’ pathologically anti-Muslim Party for Freedom (PVV), which is driving the current police crackdown in Amsterdam, and whose party flag is inscribed with the gull that was the symbol of Mussert’s NSB.

    Moreover, the Zionist regime is working with the European imperialist powers to create conditions for further provocations like the one this week in Amsterdam. Yesterday, Netanyahu announced he had asked Mossad to deploy its operatives to other international sporting events involving Israeli athletes: “I instructed the head of Mossad and other officials to prepare action plans, alert systems and our organization amid this new situation.”

    This order is all the more explosive in that Mossad is infamous for its brutal methods, including targeted assassinations overseas, and that a controversial France-Israel League of Nations football match is currently set to go forward on November 14.

    The Macron government, deeply unpopular and relying on the parliamentary support of far-right forces like the far-right National Rally, is desperately seeking to strangle working class opposition to the Gaza genocide. This week, far-right French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau threatened the Paris Saint Germain football club with investigations and prosecution, after its fans displayed a large “Free Palestine” flag at a game.

    Yesterday, Retailleau rejected calls to move the France-Israel football match scheduled for November 14 out of the Stade de France, located in the largely Muslim north suburbs of Paris. Retailleau claimed moving the League of Nations match would “mean abdicating to threats of violence and to antisemitism.” This threatens to trigger new clashes between workers, this time in France, and Israeli football hooligans backed by Mossad and French police.

    I suggest that the reason why some couples cease to have sex in their marriages is because the communication breaks down and one or both parties give up on figuring out the issues. It isn’t natively “the woman’s fault” nor “the man’s fault.” Such tropes are gross oversimplifications that are often expressed by those who are experiencing (or who have experienced) long periods of such frustration.

    Germany’s navy doesn’t want its warships to be in a situation where they might be fired upon.

    The decision by German warships to avoid the Red Sea so they don’t come in range of Houthi rebels is a sign of the alarming decline of Western sea power.

    the German navy followed it up by announcing that both ships would divert around the Cape of Good Hope on their way home, to avoid the threat of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.

    https://cepa.org/article/is-western-sea-power-adrift/

    Meanwhile, the Houthi rebels are accused of running a protection racket and extorting money from shipping lines.

    Houthi rebels are extorting as much as $2 billion a year from shipping lines in exchange for not attacking their vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to a new study.

    The unreleased study based on research by a panel of Yemen experts for the United Nations Security Council found that the Houthis were pulling in $180 million per month in the “tolling” protection racket, one published report said, though the panel could not independently verify that number.

    https://www.freightwaves.com/news/reports-claim-houthis-make-red-sea-vessel-attacks-a-2b-business

    I wonder if there’s now a push to further villainize the Houthis as a way to justify escalating the conflict.
    Will Yemen become the site of the next proxy war, to avoid waging war directly with Iran?

    THE END OF THE DEEP STATE: President Trump’s Plan to Dismantle the Deep State and Return Power to the American People.
    Here’s my plan to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all, and corruption it is.

    First, I will immediately re-issue my 2020 Executive Order restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats. And I will wield that power very aggressively.

    Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our National Security and Intelligence apparatus, and there are plenty of them. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies, which they’re doing now at a level that nobody can believe even possible.

    Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they are lied to in warrant applications. So many judges have seen so many applications that they know were wrong, or at least they must have known. They do nothing about it, they’re lied to.

    Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart, we will establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption, and there are plenty of them.

    Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.

    Sixth, we will make every Inspector General’s Office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.

    Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.

    Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as 100,000 government positions can be moved out. And I mean immediately out of Washington to places filled with patriots who love America, and they really do love America.

    Ninth, I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate. So they deal with these companies and they regulate these companies and then they want to take jobs from these companies. Doesn’t work that way—such a public display cannot go on and it’s taking place all the time, like with Big Pharma.

    Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.

    This is how I will shatter the deep state and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.

    Thank you very much.

    Anti-Trump hysteria induced by the enemies of the people media could be one way the new administration could be sabotaged.
    Yesteday, on 8 Nov. 2024, Trump issued the following statement (the 6-min. video clip is at this link):
    https://x.com/LibertyLockPod/status/1854949449518514593
    If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country. It’s as simple as that. If this most fundamental right is allowed to perish, then the rest of our rights and liberties will topple, just like dominoes, one by one – they’ll go down. That’s why today I’m announcing my plan to shatter the left wing censorship regime and to reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans. And “reclaim” si a very important word in this case, because they’ve taken it away. In recent weeks, bombshell reports have confirmed that a sinister group of deep state bureaucrats, Ssilicon Valley tyrants, left-wing activists and depraved corporate news media have been conspiring to manipulate and silence the American people. They have collaborated to suppress vital information on everything, from elections to public health. The censorship cartel must be dismantled and destroyed and it must happen immediately and here’s my plan. First, within hours of my inauguration, I will sign an executive order banning any Federal department or agency from colluding with any organization, business or person to censor, limit, categorize, or impede the lawful speech of American citizens. I will then ban Federal money from being used to label domestic speech as miss-, or dis-information. And I will begin the process of identifying and firing every federal bureaucrat who has engaged in domestic censorship, directly or indirectly, whether they are the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Health, Human Services, the FBI, the DOJ, no matter who they are. Second, I will order the Department of Justice to investigate all parties involved in the new online censorship regime, which is absolutely destructive and terrible and to aggressively prosecute any and all crimes identified. These include possible violations of Federal Civil Rights law, Campaign Finance laws, Federal Election law, Securities law and Anti-Trust laws, the Hatch Act, and a host of other potential civil, criminal, regulatory and constitutional offences. To assist in these efforts, I am urging House Republicans to immediately send preservation letters, and we have to do this right now, to the Biden Administration, the Biden Campaign and every Silicon Valley tech giant, ordering them not to destroy evidence of censorship. Third, upon my inauguration as president I will ask Congress to send the Bill to my desk, revising Section 230 to get big online platforms out of censorship business. From now on, digital platforms should only qualify for immunity protection under Section 230 if they meet high standards of neutrality, transparency, fairness and non-discrimination. We should require these platforms to increase their efforts to take down unlawful contents such as child exploitation and promoting terrorism while dramatically curtailing their power to arbitrarily restrict lawful speech. Fourth, we need to break up the entire toxic censorship industry that has arisen under the false guise of tackling so-called myths and disinformation. The Federal Government should immediately stop funding all nonprofits and academic programs that support this authoritarian project. If any U.S. universities are discovered to have engaged in censorship activities, or election interference in the past, such as flagging social media content for removal or blacklisting, those universities should lose federal research dollars and federal student loan support for a period of five years and maybe more. We should also enact new laws laying out clear criminal penalties for federal bureaucrats who partner with private entities to do an end run around the Constitution and deprive Americans of their First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. In other words, deprive them of their vote. And once you lose those elections, and once you lose your borders like we have, you no longer have a country. Furthermore, to confront the problems of major platforms being infiltrated by legions of former deep staters and intelligence officials, there should be a seven year cooling off period before any employee of the FBI, CIA, NSA, DNI, DHS, or DOD is allowed to take a job at a company possessing vast quantities of U.S. user data. Fifth, the time has finally come for Congress to pass a digital bill of rights. This should include a right to digital due process. In other words, Government officials should need a court order to take down online content, not send information request such as the FBI was sending to Twitter. Furthermore, when users of big online platforms have their content or accounts removed, throttled, shadow-banned, or otherwise restricted, no matter what name they use, they should have the right to be informed that it’s happening, the right to a specific explanation of the reason why, and a right to a timely appeal. In addition, all users over the age of 18 should have the right to opt out of content moderation and curation entirely, and receive an unmanipulated stream of information if they so choose. The fight for free speech is a matter of victory or death for America and for the survival of Western Civilization itself. When I’m president, this this whole rotten system of censorship and information control will be ripped out of the system at large. There won’t be anything left. By restoring free speech we’ll begin to reclaim our democracy and save our nation. Thank you and God bless America.

    But I believe that abortion is the woman’s choice, and that the government should not insert itself into that decision.

    2022 the Supreme court ruled that the Federal govt should not decide and left it for each state to choose. Trump was not in office in 2022 but Liberals are so fucking retarded they blame him.

    I view the morality of abortion to be between the woman and god.

    So god views abortions as moral since you claim god trusts women over men to raise children?
    Men being the natural protectors- which you and johnnyday claim that men are the abusers and slave owners of women?

    Enough of women being victims bs. #metoo

    “I was ‘raped’ 40 years ago, can’t exactly remember when…but he did it…”

    “we had mutually consensual sex which she initiated, and the next morning she claimed it was rape..”

    “the condom broke so it was rape..” FREE JULIAN

    ….

    At last, it appears that the Party of Chaos got its fondest wish: it aborted itself in the 2024 election. “Joe Biden” was the coat-hanger it used: this miserable, grifting, now-senile hack politician who will be remembered only for driving his country to the verge of ruin.

    The party of chaos aborts itself, how appropriate.

    President Trump released his plan to DISMANTLE the Deep State.

    Great !
    This fellow elected Trump and wants to sing about it…Democrats consider him racist, misogynist, anti-semitic, homophobic, anti science, garbage, deplorable, slave owner…

    Turns out telling people they are stupid, uneducated, toxic, misogynist, sexists, bigoted, racist, fascist for difference of opinions is not a great winning strategy…

    I’m way beyond the point of tolerance being called toxic male, racist, phobic and whatever label they try to slap on…or here, being called a slave owning rapist abuser of women. Fuck off with that libtard talking point narrative.

    ! It is that society has removed any and all restraints from one gender while bemoaning and blaming the other non stop.

    Yes, I recognize that the most powerful, dominant part of society has done this — against men, against “white people.” However, that doesn’t mean that every issue they took up is automatically wrong or that everyone who agrees with the “woketards” on a single issue is automatically a part of their camp or with them for their entire agenda. I typically believe that most of the people who post here have good access to clear, cogent thought: kindly utilize this skill.

    I am not a part of that dominant society. I seek personal liberty and individual sovereignty. I declined the Covid vax and lived through some uncomfortable social moments and lost some income. (Which is a very small thing when compared to what many others who declined the jab had to deal with.). I value the men in my life generally: my father, my spouse, my brother, brothers-in-law, my musical mentor, my sons — and my greatest anger towards my ex is that he was not “man enough” to be honest about his income so that a reasonable portion would go towards the physical needs of his children. (I still, to this day, hear horror stories from my children of the myriad of ways that my ex didn’t provide things for my kids when they were in his care, like clothes that actually fit or food that they liked and how they did not feel comfortable asking for what they wanted or even getting food for themselves out of the cupboards and fridge in his home.)

    The reason why I know that only a small number of women intentionally use abortion as birth control is because I have always had more female friends than male friends. Women talk. Even the one woman that I knew years ago who used abortion as birth control felt very badly about it. (She wanted her friends to rally around and cry with her about it.) I believe that her position was morally wrong — she didn’t even try to avoid the situation with proper birth control methods—but she truly believed that it was the only viable solution to the quandary that she had gotten herself into. Another woman I knew felt so badly about getting an abortion that she had her tubes tied to prevent herself from being in that position again. She still got pregnant! She decided that god had sent her the child, raised the babe with the father, and had a hysterectomy after the birth. I have never, ever had a woman talk to me about an abortion with pride or flippantly. That doesn’t mean that they are not out there, and it isn’t a large enough sample to calculate a percentage, but the number cannot be great.

    Trump’s Russia-Ukraine peace plan: Here’s what his plans are to freeze the war
    https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/us/trumps-russia-ukraine-peace-plan-heres-what-his-plans-are-to-freeze-the-war/articleshow/115123040.cms?from=mdr

    As part of this arrangement, Ukraine would postpone its NATO membership ambitions for 20 years, with the US committing to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
    However, Trump has emphasized that the United States will not deploy its troops or directly fund the buffer zone mission, as mentioned in a report by Telegraph.
    Buffer Zone and NATO Concessions
    In the proposed plan, Ukraine would agree to forgo its NATO membership ambitions temporarily, with its security reinforced by European forces rather than American troops.
    Trump’s team has advocated for European nations like Germany, the UK, France, and Poland to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the buffer zone, aiming to protect Ukraine without direct US intervention.
    A member of Trump’s team, quoted in The Wall Street Journal, stated, “We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it.”

    While Trump’s peace proposal intends to halt immediate violence, Zelensky has warned against a settlement that could undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty. Ukraine’s leader, addressing European Union officials in Budapest, insisted on a “just peace,” stating that any concessions perceived as weak would endanger Europe’s stabil ..

    International Responses and Strategic Adjustments
    Putin recently commented on Trump’s election win, expressing optimism for renewed dialogue and a resolution to the Ukrainian conflict. Addressing the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, he voiced support for Trump’s desire to repair relations with Russia, viewing it as a step toward easing the ongoing crisis.

    Putin also highlighted the strategic need for diplomatic engagement with Washington, reflecting his interest in finding co ..

    Trump’s peace plan may include deploying European troops to buffer zone in Ukraine, Telegraph reports

    U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may call on British and European troops to enforce a buffer zone that he would try to impose over the current front line in Ukraine, the Telegraph reported on Nov. 7, citing three Trump staffers.

    Under one of the peace plans being considered by Trump, the current front line in Ukraine would be frozen, the Telegraph reported.

    The U.S. would supply weapons to Ukraine to prevent Moscow from re-launching the war, according to the Telegraph. In exchange, Ukraine would agree not to pursue its ambition to join NATO for 20 years, the sources said.

    Trump’s plan does not include deploying U.S. troops to patrol the 1,200-kilometer buffer zone or providing U.S. financial support for the mission, the Telegraph reported.
    “We can do training and other support but the barrel of the gun is going to be European,” a member of Trump’s team said, as cited by the Telegraph. “We are not sending American men and women to uphold peace in Ukraine. And we are not paying for it. Get the Poles, Germans, British and French to do it.”

    The findings from the report come amid speculation on how Trump will try to fulfill his promise to end the war quickly.

    “If we have a win, long before Jan. 20, before I would take the presidency, long before that, I think we could work out something that is good for both sides,” Trump said, standing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York in September.

    It remains unclear why Russia would want to pause at the current phase since Moscow’s forces are currently at the height of their offensive in 2024 and reportedly still have the resources to keep pushing further.

    On Nov. 9, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia was “ready to listen” to Trump’s proposals but added that there would be no “simple solution.”

    Trump defeated Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris in the Nov. 5 presidential election, adding further uncertainty for Ukraine as it struggles to envision its future. Trump previously served as president from 2017 to 2021, before Joe Biden took office.

    Ukraine’s leadership has said publicly that it plans to restore the country’s 1991 borders, which includes the liberation of Crimea and parts of the Donbas occupied by Russia since 2014.

    Trump may deport hundreds of thousands of migrants whom Biden allowed to legally enter U.S.
    Nov. 8, 2024, 3:03 PM PST
    By Julia Ainsley, Carol E. Lee and Laura Strickler

    President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is considering ending two Biden administration programs that have allowed more than 1.3 million immigrants to enter the U.S. legally, making those who entered but have not yet received asylum eligible for deportation, two sources familiar with the plans told NBC News.

    The exact number of people who could face deportation after arriving in the U.S. legally is not known, but it is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

    Trump’s plan to end the two Biden programs comes as the president-elect’s promised plan to carry out mass deportations is taking clearer shape. Trump’s transition team is considering plans designed to maximize the scope of the deportations and prioritize certain immigrants as among the first to be forced to leave.

    While those who entered under the programs may be eligible for deportation, the first people likely to be targeted are those considered to be threats, possibly including Chinese men who are deemed to be of military age living illegally in the United States, the two sources and a third source familiar with the plan told NBC News. This group would also include convicted criminals who are in the U.S. illegally and those with final orders of deportation, the officials said.

    Migrants who arrived in the U.S. legally under the two Biden administration programs — CBP One and the Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela (CHNV) parole program — may be immune from deportation if they have already been granted asylum or are on the path toward it, or have another legal status to stay in the United States.

    If not, they may be deported as part of Trump’s plan to dramatically increase the number of migrant deportations.

    The sources cautioned, though, that they may not be considered top priorities for deportation after Trump takes office, but could still be deported eventually.

    The programs have been a critical part of Biden’s strategy to increase the number of legal pathways for migrants to enter the U.S. while disincentivizing illegal border crossings.

    Since the migrants entered the U.S. legally, any attempt by Trump to deport them will likely be challenged in court by various groups.

    A spokesperson for the Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

    Legal battles expected
    Immigration advocates have applauded the Biden administration programs and will likely ask judges to block any deportation plan, just as they asked judges during Trump’s first term to stop his plan to end the DACA program for immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

    The Supreme Court struck down the Trump administration’s attempt to end DACA in 2020, but that was before the court switched to a conservative supermajority.

    One immigration advocate, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to discuss potential litigation, said the new administration should expect legal challenges.

    “If [Trump] cancels the [CHNV] parole program, what does that mean for people who are already here to revoke their parole? We expect that to be legally difficult,” the advocate said.

    Over 531,0000 nationals of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela have entered the U.S. through the CHNV parole program, which was created to allow migrants from those countries to apply for entry from their home countries with the help of a U.S.-based sponsor.

    Over 852,000 migrants have entered through CBP One, a cellphone application program for migrants who have already left their home countries and are waiting in northern Mexico. Through the app, they can apply for an appointment to be considered for asylum, though they do not necessarily qualify.

    Two officials said targeting migrants who have applied to enter the country through these programs will be easier than finding others living in the U.S. because they had to provide addresses where they planned to live and other information to apply.

    Who will be targeted for deportation?
    Chinese nationals deemed of military age and considered to be illegally living in the U.S. will be among those targeted first because they may pose a national security risk, sources close to the Trump campaign said.

    In recent years, the number of Chinese nationals crossing into the U.S. has soared. Prior to 2021, the number of Chinese nationals crossing illegally averaged less than 1,000 per year.

    NATO states denounce “antisemitism” after Israeli football hooligans riot in Amsterdam

    Reminds me of the freedom fighters versus terrorists propaganda; now we are supposed to support the Jew hooligans because they are Jews, so good hooligans, the politicians’ chosen ones, chosen because the Jews bought the politicians a long time ago so they have to disgrace themselves by lying prone before the Jew god of money. God, talk about it, we have Trump the honarary Jew and Jewlets running the USA, plus a bunch of mindless Jewlets across the western world; umm, I wonder who is in charge of the western world? It sure looks like it is the people who cannot be criticised, even for genocide; it is sad to see grown adults felating their masters in full view of the public, get a room.

    Trump will talk to Zelensky, he is a Jew after all, but the country is not Jew, so Trump will offer a peace plan than is basically a total surrender if looked at without the propaganda; what other options does Trump have, threaten to blow Russia apart, don’t make me laugh. Of course, Trump is not suggesting that Israel surrender, that is a completely different thing altogether, the Jews will be funded until the cows come home, his Jew owners would not be happy with anything less.

    MAGA was the Trojan Horse for MIGA. Getting excited about hope and change is a waste of time. Like elected assholes before them, these assholes will rip you off, send the jews more $, and implement NWO global surveilience and slavery. The assholes in 2028 will do the same. Time marches on. The dead will pile up from injections, bombs, chemtrails, 5G. Jew banks and corporations run the world, NGO’s, think tanks, charities, not these fucking retards you “elect”. They don’t do shit. Deciding and changing, reforming ain’t on the menu when you’re just well paid whores, traitors for the moneymen. Sad, but true. Watch 2025 unfold and let me know if I’m wrong. For a 100 fucking years, people have fallen for the same lame bullshit, lies and theatre. So easy to fool the cattle, piece of cake.

    “I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation,” wrote Trump. “I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

    Trump declaring war on the cartels; the Americans love their wars, love their violence, all other solutions are sooooo boring. Of course, the Americans could never think of other solutions, they think they are the greatest nation on earth yet still revert to caveman behaviour when they encounter a problem.

    Nothing changes, it just gets a face lift. The oligarch team has taken over the POTUS job, they are presenting themselves as anti-establishment, a carefully orchestrated change since last time, with Musk’s PR presenting him as a man of the people, his oligarch status is ignored, same as for Trump. Wear the clothes of a pleb supporter and they will let you in the front door to steal whatever you want. When the penny drops, the people will not admit they were duped, and they will do nothing, they never do anything unless life is unbearable, and then it is a toss up between rebelion and suicide.

    @Mr. House: Yes, it is a very small number of women who use abortion as birth control.
    I practiced in women’s health for decades, did deliveries, c-sections, prenatal care, gynecology, did an OB/Gyn fellowship, taught residents and attended the OB/GYN section-meetings at our hospital.
    Very few OB/GYNs do abortions, and the one who did the most was easy to talk to. I did not shun Fred. In my professional experience, there are a very few women who use abortion that way.
    The great majority of abortions are for women who got pregnant accidentally. When I was in college I seem to have been a guy that women who were Platonic friends would ask to go to the abortion clinic with them. I did that several times as a friend.

    I wonder what Pelosi was offered to throw the election? Probably money, a pecentage of the spoils taken from the government. The people here in China have already noted that Trump sold his Nvidia shares after the election and moved that money into military companies. Makes you wonder why military companies would be more profitable than tech under Orange Jesus the peace maker.
