You're fired! Jack Smith might be out of a job by January, now that Donald Trump won the presidency once more.

According to NBC News, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is making moves to wind down their two federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office. This lawfare concession complies with a longstanding DOJ policy stipulating that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted, sources told NBC News.

A 2000 memo from the department's Office of Legal Counsel affirmed a Watergate-era conclusion that prosecuting a sitting U.S. president would "unduly interfere in a direct or formal sense with the conduct of the presidency."

Comment: American Greatness comments:
President-Elect Donald Trump's legal nemesis, Special counsel Jack Smith, is reportedly throwing in the towel in the wake of Trump's landslide victory in the U.S. presidential election.

"The DOJ, where Jack Smith works, cannot prosecute a sitting president," Fox News reported Wednesday. "Jack Smith will be gone from his post as special counsel, meaning the cases will be gone before Trump takes the oath of office on January 20."

[...]

"The American people have spoken: the lawfare must end," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise posted on X. "I call on Attorney General Garland, Alvin Bragg, and Fani Willis to immediately terminate the politically-motivated prosecutions of President Donald Trump."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, citing "significant gaps" between their respective positions on the war against Hamas and Hezbollah.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz has been offered the defense job, while Gideon Saar has been tapped to take his position if he leaves, according to Israeli media.

"Serious differences arose between Gallant and me regarding the campaign's management, with these disagreements accompanied by statements and actions that contradicted both government and cabinet decisions," Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday, explaining his move.

According to Netanyahu, wartime requires "complete trust" between the head of government and the defense minister and that trust "has eroded" between him and Gallant in recent months.

The BRICS Summit Should Mark the End of Neocon Delusions

The recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski's 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been "primacy," aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been wars, regime change operations, and unilateral coercive measures (economic sanctions). Kazan brought together 35 countries with more than half the world population that reject the U.S. bullying and that are not cowed by U.S. claims of hegemony.

In the Kazan Declaration, the countries underscored "the emergence of new centres of power, policy decision-making and economic growth, which can pave the way for a more equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order." They emphasized "the need to adapt the current architecture of international relations to better reflect the contemporary realities," while declaring their "commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN) as its indispensable cornerstone." They took particular aim at the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, holding that "Such measures undermine the UN Charter, the multilateral trading system, the sustainable development and environmental agreements."

President Joe Biden has called President Trump to congratulate him on his monumental election victory.

In the call, Biden congratulated Trump and invited him to the White House to discuss the transition process.

AP reported that Biden didn't specify a date when the two plan to meet but did report that it will be in the "near future."

Biden also called Kamala Harris to congratulate her on her failed campaign.

Comment: It does appear that Biden's camp deliberately undercut the Harris campaign in revenge for being turfed out of his candidacy. And on Twitter no less. He certainly couldn't have been more damaging than this:



Beware the scorned politician (and his machiavellian wife).

Israeli officials lobbied the UK government to undermine peaceful pro-Palestine activism, leaked files show.

Benjamin Netanyahu's government waged a secret campaign to stop Britain boycotting trade with Israel, Declassified can reveal.

Leaked files show Israeli officials held a high-level "sensitive" meeting about the issue with Conservative politician Michael Gove when he was justice secretary in 2015.

The discussion focussed on how to combat the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, which targets products made on illegally occupied Palestinian land.

It was part of a series of Israeli steps that included attempts to defund British charities and commission advice from powerhouse law firms.

Comment: Al Jazeera exposed the depth of corruption of the Zionist-controlled UK government in 2017. Since then things have only gotten worse on both sides of the Atlantic.

Trouble - German government collapses


RT
Thu, 07 Nov 2024 08:26 UTC
Olaf Scholz

Chancellor Olaf Scholz has announced a vote of confidence, potentially paving the way for snap elections.

Germany's 'traffic-light' coalition has fallen apart, leaving Olaf Scholz at the helm of a minority government consisting solely of his Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Greens. This follows the chancellor's dismissal of Free Democratic Party (FDP) leader Christian Lindner as finance minister.

In response to Lindner's dismissal, which came after failed crisis talks on Wednesday night, the FDP's parliamentary group leader, Christian Durr, announced that the party is withdrawing its ministers from Scholz's government, formally ending the three-way coalition.

The Greens expressed regret over the development, but stated that they wish to remain part of a minority government, emphasizing the need for the EU - and Germany in particular - to demonstrate its capacity for action following Donald Trump's election as US president.

"I want to say for us that this feels wrong and not right tonight - almost tragic on a day like this, when Germany must show unity and the ability to act in Europe," Vice Chancellor and Economy Minister Robert Habeck said in a joint press statement with Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Wednesday night.

"This is not a good day for Germany and also not a good day for Europe," Baerbock added.


Comment: It is obvious why the Greens wish to remain in the government as an election could well push them out of any meaningful political influence. Many in Germany will likely see this as a good day for Germany and a step towards stopping the free fall into the abyss.


Comment: As the actual suffering by ordinary Germans has increased due to the sanctions against Russia, the endless aid to Ukraine and the resultant de-industrialisation, then voices have started to be heard which have called for a stop to this nonsense. From the subservience to the globalist hegemonic policies, it is clear that Germany is still an occupied country.

It would take concerted efforts to change the course of this ship but the election of Trump might have a catalytic effect.

In August 2024, Lindner sounded the alarm German ministers told there's no more money for Ukraine - media
German Finance Minister Christian Lindner has issued a request to the country's defense ministry calling for a limit to military assistance to Ukraine, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported on Saturday. According to Lindner, the country's current budget plan is not capable of allocating funds to Kiev.

[...]
"End of the event. The pot is empty," an unnamed source in the federal government told FAZ, stressing that Berlin has "reached a point where Germany can no longer make any promises to Ukraine."
[...]
The newspaper noted that the urge comes amid Lindner's push for harsh austerity measures; these have already been imposed on all German ministries except defense. The finance minister has been resisting intense pressure from Scholz and Economy Minister Robert Habeck to suspend the country's constitutional limit on debt to allow for the cost of providing military aid to Kiev amid the Ukrainian conflict.
Lindner has been happy to support the CO2 climate change nonsense which has crippled German industry, so perhaps his wish to pull out now is a wish to save his political future.
In April 2024:
German Transport Minister Volker Wissing attracted backlash on Friday after threatening to impose weekend driving bans in the summer to abide by the climate protection law, in the latest dispute within Berlin's ruling coalition over decarbonising.

[...]
FDP party leader and Finance Minister Christian Lindner supported Wissing's threat.

"The climate protection law of the previous government could soon lead to driving bans!" Lindner wrote on social media platform X on Friday.

Just how dystopian can Starmer's Britain become?

While Starmer's government is trying to expand the powers of the British State, it is using powers it already has — namely anti-terrorism laws — to arrest and intimidate pro-Palestinian journalists, activists and protesters.

After his election victory in July, which by the UK's first-past-the-post system gave his party a disproportionate majority in parliament (h/t Vesa), Keir Starmer promised that his new Labour government would "tread more lightly" on the lives of voters. It is one of a multitude of pledges Starmer has broken in just his first four months in office, during which time his approval rating has suffered the biggest post-election fall of any British prime minister in the modern era. It's worth recalling that his government's massive parliamentary majority represents just about 20 per cent of the eligible electorate.

As the veteran journalist Peter Oborne warned in 2023, "you would be very unwise to believe a word Starmer ever says."

Moscow reacts to Trump's vow to 'stop wars'

The Republican has acknowledged that the US needs to focus on its own problems, Maria Zakharova has said.

US presidential election winner Donald Trump's promise to end international conflicts should be backed up by concrete actions once he returns to the White House, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

During his speech on Wednesday in which he declared victory in the US election, Trump also stated that during his first term from 2017 to 2021 "we had no wars, except we defeated ISIS (Islamic State/IS)." The 78-year-old dismissed claims by his opponents that he would "start a war" once he returns to office. "I am not going to start a war. I am going to stop wars," the Republican insisted.

When asked to comment on Trump's promise, Zakharova told the Russia 24 TV channel that "of course, those theses must be followed by actions, concrete actions."

According to the spokeswoman, the international community will judging Trump's second presidency based on what he does, rather than what he says. She also suggested that Trump's promise to end foreign wars was an acknowledgment that the US needs to focus on its own problems.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev reacted to Trump's victory by pointing out:
"He has 'one useful quality' for Russia. As a businessman to the core, he hates spending money on various freeloaders, which includes the government in Ukraine."

The tech mogul told Tucker Carlson that he will slash the number of federal agencies if he becomes part of the new administration.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said he will seek to improve government efficiency by reducing the number of federal agencies if he is given a role in Donald Trump's administration.

Musk, a staunch Trump supporter, made the remarks during an appearance on Tucker Carlson's online show broadcast from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday, the day of the election.

Despite initially proclaiming political neutrality, Musk officially endorsed Trump after the first assassination attempt in July and has since become a major supporter of the former president. Trump promised the Tesla CEO that he would establish a special "government efficiency" commission, dubbed the DOGE, to be headed by the billionaire if he wins the election.

The Mail has an initial round-up of prominent figures in the liberal media becoming visibly upset - or angry - as the news sunk in last night that Donald Trump was going to win the US Presidential election. Expect much more of these compilations over the coming days.

Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election provoked an anguished reaction from the left liberal news media and Kamala Harris supporters.

MSNBC commentator Joy Reid launched a tirade live on air as Florida turned out overwhelmingly in favour of Trump, slamming voters and describing the state as being under the power of an extremist, right-wing, fascist-type government. Becoming more irate, she said: "Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said into the TV that people could hear him say and do. The vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats to do mass deportation and a violent start to his dictatorship on day one, you name it."

Reid told her fellow MSNBC panelists that she couldn't fathom that Trump was securing support from half the population in spite of his often controversial stances. "If all of that gets you half of the votes... what does it tell you? We need to really take a step back and think about what does that say about us."

After Florida was called for Trump early in the evening, Reid said: "It's a pure Project 2025 in miniature in Florida. That extremist sort of right-wing, fascist type government in Florida, does that make it more of an attractive place?"
