Pres. Trump terminates 4 presidential appointees

President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, fired four former presidential appointees, as reported by the UPI.

Among the 'losers' Trump canned is retired Army Gen. Mark Milley the former National Infrastructure Advisory Council. It was Milley who undermined the President's authority in his first administration by phoning his Chinese Communist counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, and reassured the commie that the U.S. would not attack them, hoping to calm their fears about the strong statements Trump made.

Milley was also a woke proponent of critical race theory and the military's approach to D.E.I. [diversity, equity and inclusion] and he mishandled the withdrawal of the military from Afghanistan that resulted in the deaths of 13 Americans.

After leaving office, Milley's portrait was removed from the walls of the Pentagon by the Trump administration after the 2025 inauguration. 

Another firing was Brian Hook, an envoy to Iran in Trump's first administration and serving at the WIlson Center of Scholars. He also served Secretary of State Mike Pompeo under the administration.

In November 2019, Hook mishandled an employment issue with Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, a State Department official. An internal report claimed that Hook did not take proper action when Nowrouzzadeh faced false accusations and derogatory remarks in a conservative publication, which circulated within the State Department. This incident was part of broader accusations of political retaliation against career staff perceived to be disloyal to the Trump administration's policies.

There were allegations that Hook was part of efforts to target career diplomats whose loyalty to the Trump administration was questioned. Democrats like Reps. Eliot Engel and Elijah Cummings criticized Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for promoting Hook despite these allegations, suggesting a lack of accountability for political retribution within the State Department.

Hook also refused to sign "the MAGA vision" and is apparently not displaying allegiance to the President, which gives Trump every reason to find someone who shares the same vision.

Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who served on the President's Export Council, was also given her pink slip.

As mayor, violent crime soared in her city and it's argued her administration did little to assuage the problem. The violence was exacerbated during the George Floyd protests and the COVID-19 crisis. While Bottoms acknowledged the crime wave, she decided not to run for another term. Also, during her tenure, the Atlanta Police Department morale was low, especially after officers were charged involved in the killing of Rayshard Brooks.

Then there was the issue of election integrity and the water main break incident during the 2020 election. Atlanta experienced a water main break at the State Farm Arena when it was being used as a polling location. It delayed vote counting, and raised questions about election integrity. 

Trump fired her on day one.

Lastly, international chef Jose Andrés, from the President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition was also given his walking papers by President Trump. The two had not gotten along since 2015 when Andrés pulled out of a restaurant deal with Trump's Washington, D.C. hotel after Trump made a negative statement about Mexican immigrants. The legal battle was eventually settled out of court.

Andrés has publicly criticized Trump on several occasions on issues about immigration policies, disaster relief and the President's political platform, which continued to be made even after the legal disputes.

Jose Andrés

Although Andrés had resigned a week prior to Trump's announcement, the President's actions was probably his way of showing the public his stance on those who refuse to allow him to actuate his mandate.

"My Presidential Personnel Office is actively in the process of identifying and removing over a thousand presidential appointees from the previous administration who are not aligned with our vision to Make America Great Again," Trump said on Truth Social.

"Let this serve as official notice of dismissal for these four individuals with many more coming soon. ... You're fired."

The next four years are going to be very, very interesting. 

Pray for our President's safety.

Atlanta wants private security at $1.6 M: "guns to protect me, not so much thee"

City Council members of Atlanta, Georgia are willing to defund the police because they are also willing to have taxpayers fund $1.6 million to hire private security to protect them because crime there is rising for some reason they can't figure out. The rich don't need to worry as much without police protecting them when they can hire their own guns with no cost to them. 

It's the Democratic thing to do.

The security force is specifically being considered to protect the wealthy area known as the Buckhead neighborhood. [I don't have to tell you what regular folks call that area--use your imagination.]

The fear comes after a shooting near a Buckhead mall that left a 7-year-old girl dead. the Independent reports, as gun violence continues to grow while these idiots want to defund their police because they are woke.

The city council has an entire plan specifically for Buckhead, per a “Buckhead Security Plan” slide deck made available on Monday. 

The plan includes, “Funding and establishing a supplementary, multi-car dedicated security patrol utilizing off-duty sworn officers of APD, Fulton County Sheriff’s Office, and Georgia State Patrol. The supplementary patrol will be for exclusive use within Buckhead commercial corridors and will be managed by the Zone 2 Commander at APD to augment on-duty APD patrol (NT).”

What remains of the police force is designed to work “in tandem” with existing law enforcement bureaus, and the city council is committing $125,000 to the effort initially. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution puts the final cost of the program, however, at a cool $1.6 million of taxpayer money.

“The private police are scheduled to start patrols in January,” the Independent notes.

Homicides in Atlanta have climbed over 155, "the most since 1998," according to the Journal-Constitution. Bill Campbell, a Democrat, was mayor at that time. In fact The last Republican mayor of Atlanta was Nedom L. Angier who left office in 1879. All subsequent mayors have been Democrats.

The Atlanta authorities did not want to accept responsibility for the crime surge. The Atlanta police chief Rodney Bryant blamed COVID-19 and the lockdowns for sparking the city's residents' criminal behavior as opposed to the defunding of police and left's oxymoron tendency to decriminalize crime.

“There are no other areas to socialize, people find themselves – there’s no football games to go to, there’s no high school football games to go to,” Bryant said, suggesting that the only other alternative was to participate in violence. Makes perfect sense . . . if you're stupid.

Atlanta’s woke mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, who was on Biden's short list to become Vice President, seemed clueless.

“We owe it to our children, as well as to all of our communities, to do everything in our power to eliminate gun violence,” she said. “If there are solutions that we have not explored and enacted, I welcome the suggestions.”

Maybe she should propose a contest. Whoever comes up with the best idea tp decrease gun violence wins a ride-along with the Buckhead security force as they fight crime in the tony area of Atlanta.

Although the city council voted against "defunding the police," as per local media, Bottoms noted, during the summer BLM and Antifa riots, that city authorities could soon begin the process of rerouting funds destined for law enforcement initiatives to other community-focused efforts. Makes perfect sense . . . if you're stupid.

Since making those statements, there has been a severe decline in police morale and an associated "sick out" that saw officers walk off the job over Atlanta's decision to charge officer Garrett Rolfe with felony murder in the shooting death of Rayshard Brooks.

Bottoms later addressed officers directly and begged them to return to work.

Keep voting for Democrats, Atlanta. Makes perfect sense . . . if you're stupid.

Cop charged in Rayshard Brooks shooting sues mayor and police chief

Garrett Rolfe, a former officer of the Atlanta PD filed a lawsuit against Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, and interim police Chief Rodney Bryant to get his job back.

Rolfe filed suit on Tuesday in Fulton County Superior Court. He was fired from the job earlier this summer and charged with felony murder, among the eleven total counts, in the death of Rayshard Brooks in June. 

Rolfe states that his firing was unconstitutional.

The lawsuit states that his use of force against Brooks, who fired a taser at Rolfe as he ran away from police, “was proper and in compliance with Georgia law.” Anyone who saw the tape of what happened should agree with the former cop.

The lawsuit states that Rolfe was terminated from the job “without an investigation, without proper notice, without a pre-disciplinary hearing, and in direct violation of the municipal code of the city of Atlanta.” 

Basically, the firing appears to have been accelerated due to political pressure and the fact that Lance Bottoms is being considered as Joe Biden's VP running mate if he finally gets the Democratic nomination.

Rolfe's lawsuit further noted  that the other officer involved, Devin Brosnan, was not fired and was instead placed on administration leave, according to NBC News.

The lawsuit pointed out that what happened to Rolfe was atypical of protocol within the department. “Many other city of Atlanta police officers who have been charged with crimes, including felonies, have remained employed during the investigation and pendency of their criminal charges,” the lawsuit stated.

This is simply a case of police brutality--not by the police, but to the police officer by the city. The shooting of Rayshard Brooks was justified when he tasered Brosnan then turned as he ran and tried to taser Rolfe. Had Brooks been successful, Rolfe may have been killed once he was rendered helpless.

Any normal human being would have done the same thing.

Consider following Brain Flushings, it's free and worth every penny. And remember, every time you click on an ad, an angel gets its wings and a liberal sheds a tear.

Atlanta Mayor admits police morale is Down 'Ten-fold'--begs cops return after walkout

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms agrees with the fact that police morale is "down ten-old." It's unclear exactly what gave it away to her but it may have been due to the dozens of officers who called in sick or refused to leave their precincts after the Fulton County DA decided to charge former officer Garrett Rolfe with felony murder of Rayshard Brooks [for carrying out proper procedure and stopping an intoxicated man from firing a taser into his face].

Bottoms also begged police to honor their commitment to their community and return to patrol, unlike the community refusing to honor proper legal procedure and wait for an indictment before firing Rolfe and making speeches implying his guilt.

“I think ours is down ten-fold,” Bottoms told the Compromised News Network anchor and block of wood Chris "Fredo" Cuomo in regard to Atlanta PD’s department morale. “This has been a very tough few weeks in Atlanta and with the tragedy of Mr. Brooks, and then on top of that the excessive force charges that were brought against the officers involved with the college students, there’s a lot happening in our city, and the police officers are receiving the brunt of it quite frankly.

She went on to pretend that the Atlanta city government has “a great working relationship with police” and that the issues with morale were temporary and may be assuaged when the city finally elects a conservative mayor.

“In fact, our officers were given a historic pay raise by our administration, and it was so our officers wouldn’t have to work three jobs and be fatigued so that they could afford to live in the city of Atlanta, so they wouldn’t be resentful about policing our streets so that we could have the best to choose from on our force,” Bottoms told Cuomo, who just stared off into space thinking about the gym. “We expect that our officers will keep their commitment to our communities.”

And your officers expect you would keep your commitment to them and not overcharge them with criminal behavior they didn't exhibit. 

Rolfe was totally justified in shooting Brooks after he took down both Rolfe and his partner, grabbed a taser from one of them, ran, turned around and fired at Rolfe who returned fire with lethal force--by the book.

“Atlanta police officers are not responding to calls in three of the department’s six zones,” CNN reported late Wednesday “Atlanta police officers each patrol one of six zones covering some 500,000 residents who live in the city limits. They also cover Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.” 

Meanwhile, it is not known whether Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is one of the many airports that CNN pays $100,000 each to broadcast its anti-Trump coverage in the terminals.

Atlanta police denied that officers had organized a walkout, but Georgia police union officials appeared to confirm reports of a “blue flu.”

If they run into trouble, they can always call Antifa.

Stacey Abrams being investigated: subpoena on its way

Stacey Abrams still claims she won the Georgia gubernatorial election in spite of having 55,000 fewer votes than the Republican victor, Brian Kemp. She is a sore loser, but a loser nevertheless.

David Emadi, the new director of Georgia's ethics commission, says he will complete an investigation into about 4 or 5 ethics complaints against Abrams.

Emadi started on the job Monday replacing Stefan Ritter, who resigned amid allegations of workplace impropriety.

Emadi's agency plans to subpoena bank and financial records from Abrams - and groups associated with her campaign, including political action committees and special interest groups.

Emadi said the commission had already investigated complaints lodged against Brian Kemp's campaign, but found no sustainable allegations.

Abrams' former campaign manager Lauren Groh-Wargo went on an ad hominem attack against Emadi. She said in a statement that Emadi is a Republican operative doing "partisan" work into "baseless" allegations and "should be focused on real problems like the unethical ties between the governor’s office and voting machine lobbyists instead.”

"It is shameful, but not surprising," the statement said. "This is Kemp’s corrupt playbook, his long history of launching frivolous investigations with bogus charges against political opponents. This is a shameful misuse of taxpayer dollars for a political vendetta."

If Abrams is found guilty of the allegations, Groh-Wargo doesn't plan to apologize but will "do an [Ilhan] Omar" and make more baseless allegations against Emadi.

Abrams' campaign vowed to fight the "false accusations with every available resource" including more ad hominem attacks and racist accusations against Emadi and the ethics commission.

Emadi pushed back saying his office looks into complaints irrespective of partisan ties. In other words, not everything is about partisan politics. It's actually possible that in spite of his being a GOPer, Abrams still might be guilty and he's going to look into it, so Groh-Wargo can bite him.

Emadi says the ethics commission also has active investigations ongoing into complaints made against "all" the candidates for Atlanta Mayor who ran in 2017, including Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a somewhat painful sounding name combination.

Emadi declined to describe details of any of the complaints against Abrams or the mayoral candidates. 

His first ethics commission meeting is next week and Stacey Abrams is quietly having a cow.
