The Trump Doctrine

On Saturday, Colombian President Gustavo Petro refused to accept delivery of deportees, tweeting:

President Donald Trump immediately announced retaliatory measures, including (but not limited to) 25% tariffs on all imports from Colombia, increasing to 50% if the nation continues to refuse returns after one week. Petro backed down before the ink on the tariff orders was dry. Trump said he’d hang on to the orders, just in case Colombia doesn’t honor its commitment to accept deportees.

In a classic case of Traditional Democrat Hot Air That Ages Like Over-Ripe Raspberries, AOC tweeted her take on Trump’s announcement.

Cynical Publius outlined how DC has traditionally worked vs. Trump’ “Art of the Deal” –

Traditional Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.

2. On Monday, the State Department convenes an interagency task force with DoD, NSC, DEA, INS, ICE, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security.

3. The task force meets for four days and develops a position paper.

4. The position paper is rejected by the Secretary of State, who is unhappy that insufficient equity considerations are built into the process.

5. The task force reconvenes a week later to redevelop three new, equity-centric courses of action and create a new position paper.

6. The process is delayed a week because Washington DC gets three inches of snow.

7. SecState approves the new position paper for interagency circulation, and considerable input is received from the heads of other departments so the task force must reconvene.

8. The original three proposed responsive courses of action are scrapped in favor of a new, fourth course of action that achieves the worst aspects of the three prior courses of action but satisfies the interagency.

9. Someone in State who disagrees leaks to the Washington Post, who writes a story about how ineffective the Presidential administration is.

10. The White House Chief of Staff sets up a session three days later to brief the President, who approves the new fourth course of action.

11. Over a month after the issue is first raised, the State Department Public Affairs Officer holds a press conference announcing that Colombia has agreed to try to send fewer criminals into the US and everyone declares victory.

Trump Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.

2. After a par-5 third hole where he goes one under par, Trump uses his iPhone to post on social media as to how the USA will destroy Colombia’s economy if they do not do what the USA demands.

3. By the time Trump gets to the par-4 sixth hole, Colombia’s President has agreed to repatriate all the illegal Colombians in his own plane, which he will pay for.

4. Trump finishes three under par and goes to the clubhouse for a Diet Coke where he posts a gangsta AI image of himself and the new FAFO Doctrine.

5. Winning. See the difference? It’s called LEADERSHIP

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask you today for this great truth to circle the Earth and enter every heart and mind. Jesus is King! Amen. And again, I say, Amen!

CATHOLIC: Pope Francis said Trump’s deportation plan is a “disgrace.” Lifelong Catholic Tom Homan said the pope should stick to fixing his church’s mess and leave national security to Trump.

“They have a wall around the Vatican. And if you illegally enter the Vatican, the crime is serious. You know, you’ll be charged with a serious crime, be jailed. So he can protect the Vatican where he lives; he can build a wall where he lives, where American people are not allowed that? No. Securing the border saves lives.”

CONFIRMED: The Senate confirmed South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary with a vote of 59–34.

DEI: [1:48] – Senator Kennedy is a treasure!

FAUXTUS: [7:43] – Hypocrites. Absolutely BEST comment about Biden’s pardons: “Was Satan not available? What about the family pets?”

MISSING CHILDREN: Harris Faulkner reported on Fox News that Trump’s people have located between 75,000 and 80,000 of the over 300,000 migrant children the Biden administration misplaced. Biden’s Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, told Congress they didn’t know where the kids are. Trump’s Border Czar, Tom Homan, said they plan to locate and rescue all of these kids as soon as possible.

TARGET: This is welcome news at Casa Hyphen! Target is the only store in our area that accepts empty Soda Stream tanks.

GRAMMY NOTES: Bunny’s AHG troop attended a self-defense workshop. Wow … has she grown!

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today that You ease any pain, sadness, or grief we may be experiencing. Wrap us in your loving arms and give us the strength to be humbly stubborn. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

2020 to 2024: [13:35] – CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/eCi2YngY2iI to hear how clueless Biden was. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8bHUotBC-7w to watch Jake Tapper admit that Trump was right. CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iqJA3uRE8U0 to hear why we should be thanking God for allowing Biden’s train wreck to happen.

BORDER: That there is a noisy, uncomfortable cargo plane. No comfy commercial airliner for them! – CLICK https://rumble.com/v6cpkda-listen-to-what-criminal-illegal-immigrant-shouts-as-hes-arrested-by-trumps-.html [5:11] to see some of the nearly 1,000 illegal aliens that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested since Trump took office. They include child sex offenders, gang members and other criminals from Afghanistan, Angola, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Senegal and Venezuela.

CLICK https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1882842972150288732 [2:47] to see the Leathernecks arrive to help secure the southern border. Unsurprisingly, there has been a sharp drop in illegal alien encounters there since Trump took office.

CONFIRMED: Vice President Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote, but Pete Hegseth has been confirmed for Secretary of Defense. When Trump learned Republicans Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) had all voted against Hegseth, he said, “We won. Winning is what matters, right?”

McConnell’s vote is very revealing. His state went for Trump by 30 points, so he clearly has priorities that are higher than what his constituents want. Also, he voted in favor of Biden nominee, Lloyd Austin, who was on Raytheon’s board of directors at the time.

DEPORTATIONS: In Florida, when a jerknalist asked about “undocumented immigrants” working in Florida, Gov. DeSantis interrupted him, saying, “The federal government has made clear that the statutory term, it’s not undocumented, they’re illegal aliens. That’s the statutory term.”

FAUXTUS: Before leaving office, Biden savaged the SCOTUS decision about executive privilege, saying it meant Trump would be able to commit any old crime he wanted. Then, he preemptively pardoned all his co-conspirators. I notice he did not pardon himself, maybe because he’s counting on that SCOTUS decision to protect him. What a hypocrite.

MARCH for LIFE: [12:52] – CLICK https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1882859223740239918 [4:17] to hear the video message POTUS Trump pre-recorded, because he was in North Carolina with hurricane victims during the march.

S&G: Trump hasn’t even been in office one week and he’s already gotten Biden’s case against Dr. Eithan Haim dropped. In 2023, Haim anonymously blew the whistle on Texas Children’s Hospital for violating Texas law by performing sex-change operations on kids. Biden’s DOJ launched an investigation into the whistleblower and the nurse who assisted him. Thank God for Donald Trump, who has made free speech and protecting kids great again!

VAXXXINE: [13:55] – A new study entitled “Behavioral and Health Outcomes of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination: A Case-Control Study in Japanese Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises” was published last month. The researchers found that people who had received one or two ‘rona jabs were 85% more likely to come down with COVID-19 than were those who were never vaccinated. Even worse, the odds of catching the virus increased with subsequent doses.

GRAMMY NOTES: We banned set of three sixes in Rummy, because it creeped me out to play it. The rule has actually made the game more interesting.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, We ask today for extra special blessings on all who have responded to Your call to ministry. Grant them protection wisdom, insight, and courage to do Your will. And protect them from assaults by all who hate them because they hate You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP: [2:59] – A judge in Seattle has issued a temporary restraining order that prohibits the Trump administration from enforcing Trump’s order. The judge called the order “blatantly unconstitutional”, but Trump says babies born to those who are here illegally do not qualify.

BORDER: Yesterday, the Trump Administration arrested 538 illegal immigrant criminals including a suspected terrorist, four members of the Tren de Aragua gang, and several illegals convicted of sex crimes against minors.

The Trump Administration also deported hundreds of illegal immigrant criminals via military aircraft. The largest massive deportation operation in history is well underway. Promises made. Promises kept.

DEMOCRAT vs REPUBLICAN: CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7E_-yqY2tVs to hear Nick Freitas describe an instance of one of my pet peeves about the way the Left approaches legislation.

MEDIA: ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million to President Donald Trump to settle his defamation lawsuit. On March of this year, George Stephanopoulos repeatedly said Trump was “liable for rape.” Last year, a jury found Trump guilty of “sexual abuse” and ordered him to pay the alleged victim $5 million. “Sexual abuse” and “rape” have specific definitions under New York law.

PRO-LIFERS: [20:22] – At 3:30, President Trump signs pardons for peaceful protesters who were persecuted and prosecuted by the Biden administration. Thank God Almighty, they are free at last! “This is a great honor to sign this.” Also, at 4:28, he declassifies all files related to the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. It’s interesting to watch him answer question after question after question from journalists. What a change from ol’ what’s his name.

The judge specifically said she was imposing the ridiculous sentence to make an example of the young, stay-at-home mother of a two-year-old. Thanks to Trump, she’s free. You’ll need a tissue!!

GRAMMY NOTES: When my #2 daughter joined the Army, #1 (Mama) and I collaborated on a Shutterfly version called “Good Morning, Moon.” #2 gave us the idea when she was telling us about getting up before dawn for PT and remember her beloved children’s book every time she saw the moon in the sky. The text:

On the dark Army base, there was a bugler And a flag pole And rows of sleepy soldiers lining up for PT.

Good morning, Drill Sergeant. Good morning, breeze. Good morning, tendons. Good morning, knees.

Good morning, push ups. Good morning, rocks. Good morning, sit ups. Good morning, socks.

Good morning, moon. Good morning, dew. Good morning to the good ol’ red, white, and blue.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Today we lift up all of those who brave the elements on our behalf. We ask You to bless them and their loved ones abundantly. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

BEAUTIFUL: Bob shared “A Little Bird” by Sean Dietrich with me. It touched my heart and soul.

BORDER: This week, President Trump ordered 1,500 more U.S. troops to the southern border. Meanwhile, Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove reminded all department employees that the U.S. Constitution requires state and local actors to comply with federal immigration enforcement.

The law carries a prison term of up to five years for each count of resisting, obstructing, or otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands from the executive branch. Furthermore, federal law bars individuals from bringing illegal immigrants into the United States, or harboring them in the country. These violators can receive up to 20 years in prison and may even face the death penalty if a violation results in the death of any person. (Who let Laken Riley’s killer in?)

Meanwhile, Mexico is building shelters in anticipation of all the illegals Trump is expected to deport.

CALIFIRES: Just as the blazes are coming under control, a new one has broken out about 45 miles northwest of the city of Los Angeles.

CAN YOU READ CURSIVE? The National Archives is looking for “Citizen Archivists” to help reach and transcribe some of the more than 300 million digitized objects in its catalog. Those records range from Revolutionary War pension records to the field notes of Charles Mason of the Mason-Dixon Line to immigration documents from the 1890s to Japanese evacuation records to the 1950 Census. All that is required is to CLICK https://www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist/get-started-transcribing to sign up.

CATHOLIC: A bill proposed by Montana Democrats would jail Catholic priests for upholding the confessional seal, to which they are bound by –

Canon Law 1386 – “A confessor [priest] who directly violates the sacramental seal incurs a latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See; he who does so only indirectly is to be punished according to the gravity of the offence.”;

Canon Law 983 – “The sacramental seal is inviolable; therefore it is absolutely forbidden for a confessor to betray in any way a penitent in words or in any manner and for any reason.” and

Canon Law 984 – “A confessor is prohibited completely from using knowledge acquired from confession to the detriment of the penitent even when any danger of revelation is excluded.”

When questioned about the bill, its chief supporter said she used to be Catholic. Oh. The same is true of any priest who violates the sanctity of the Sacrament of Reconciliation; he would become someone who used to be Catholic.

COVID-19: Rand Paul tweeted, “If there was ever any doubt who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed. Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception.”

According to the site linked below, “The legal authority for preemptive pardons in the United States is rooted in the Constitution and clarified through key judicial precedents.” Biden’s pardon may keep Fauci out of jail, but it won’t save his reputation.

DEI: President Donald Trump has signed an executive order cutting off federal funding to any learning institution that mandates DEI or that hire contractors that engage in such practices.

He has also signed an executive order suspending all DEI activities immediately. By the close of business yesterday, they must have notified all staff they are on leave, closed every office, taken down any public-facing trace of those offices, withdraw any related guidance or directives they have pending and cancel all DEIA trainings.  

FCC: [20:30] – Sen. Kennedy is always worth listening to. This one is especially important.

LIFE: Insanity suggests a mental illness that makes someone incapable of making moral judgments. This isn’t insane. It’s EVIL.

NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: The “Service of Prayer for the Nation” is held in this Episcopal church. The membership of this denomination now represents a tiny sliver of (mostly old; modal age = 69) Americans. There are actually six times as many Jews in the U.S. than there are Episcopalians. Maybe they should switch the service to the Nation BASILICA, which is Roman Catholic.

SERVICE OF PRAYER FOR THE NATION: The photo shows their faces as the leftist female “bishop” lectured them at a prayer service for “unity.” Afterwards, the new president issued this statement –

“The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater. She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way. She was nasty in tone, and not compelling or smart. She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our country and killed people. Apart from her inappropriate statements, the service was a very boring and uninspiring one. She is not very good at her job! She and her church owe the public an apology!”

VPOTUS: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/reel/1321904552323328 to hear Senator J.D. talk about inclusive language. The guy’s answer … “I’d have to give that one some more thought” … is so typical of Woke Lefties. The man had a scheduled appearance before the U.S. Senate. He should have had all his thinking done beforehand. But every time you ask them to justify or even to stand up for their idiotic positions, they dodge and weave. Another common one that Kamala used all the time was, “We need to dialogue about that.”

GRAMMY NOTES: I am doing retroactive prayers today for old hurts caused by rude people. Their nastiness always felt so personal, but none of it was about me.

National Sanctity of Life Day

DAILY PRAYER: Almighty God, please bless our children with good friends and positive role models. Surround them with people who will encourage and inspire them, and who will help them to grow in their faith and character. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

BORDER: CLICK https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1882061584773816367 [:47] to hear Tom Homan announce they’ve arrested 308 serious criminals on the first day. I don’t know if the guy in the photo was among them, but I hope he’s near the top of Homan’s list.

DRILL, BABY, DRILL: I saw some Trump haters sneering about how gas prices didn’t go down the day after the inauguration. Au contraire! Crude oil prices dropped by more than 2 percent during the Jan. 21 trading session.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://x.com/jammles9/status/1881743885648757101 to see a montage of the last 4 years. Whoopi Goldberg said, “I miss him already.” ::eyeroll::

MELANIA: I was really skeptical about Melania’s inauguration outfit … until I saw how it prefaced her inaugural ball gown. Stunning duo!

MILITARY: These are the same clowns who once told Drill Sergeants they were not allowed to call recruits by their rank, because “privates” is an embarrassing word. Or something. – The Senate Armed Services Committee advanced Pete Hegseth’s nomination to lead the Pentagon. Unlike Rubio’s nomination, this one will be close. In the committee, the 14 Republicans voted for him, while all 13 Democrats voted against him. Please pray with me that he is confirmed. Our troops need him.

NATIONAL CATHEDRAL: Mariann Edgar Budde is the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. During yesterday’s national prayer service at the Washington National Cathedral, she had the opportunity to express a unifying Christian message at the dawn of the new administration.

Instead, she spewed again her often-stated contempt for Donald Trump saying there are “some who fear for their lives” because of he is now in office. “They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors.”

Uhhh … they’re here illegally, which de facto makes them criminals.

POTUS: The Trump administration issued a memo on Tuesday directing all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) employees to be put on paid leave. The attorneys general from 22 states filed lawsuits against President Donald Trump’s executive order denying citizenship to children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants and non-citizens. Authorities in Panama announced on Jan. 20 that they have launched an audit of the Hong Kong-based port operator that controls ports near the Panama Canal.

STATE DEPARTMENT: [14:32] – Secretary Marco Rubio started work today. “Our rights come from God.” Yes! – Under Biden, government buildings flew pride and BLM flags alongside Old Glory. That ended Monday.

VPOTUS: CLICK https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1882083118032846868 to see J.D. enter the Oval Office for the first time in his life. He embodies the American Dream.

YOU’RE FIRED: The Trump administration has ordered every government agency to shut down their DEI offices by today at 5 PM.

DAILY PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for a peaceful and dignified transfer of power in this country. Amen! Dearest and I spent hours and hours yesterday watching inauguration (aka, liberation) day live streaming. It was glorious!

2025: We are officially unburdened by what has been!

BORDER: India and the United States are working on an agreement for the country to accept 18,000 illegal aliens back in a massive deportation plan. In return for its cooperation, India hopes that the Trump administration would protect legal immigration channels used by its citizens to enter the US, in particular the student visas and the H-1B program for skilled workers. Indian citizens accounted for almost three-fourths of the 386,000 H-1B visas granted in 2023.

LAKEN RILEY ACT: The Senate has passed this legislation with a 64–35 vote. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to detain illegal immigrants arrested for theft, burglary, or shoplifting. It also allows states to sue the federal government if it fails to follow procedures related to immigration, such as properly vetting immigrants seeking to come to the United States. The 12 Dems who voted for it are mostly from swing states.

MILITARY: Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was a Space Force commander when he was investigated for and relieved of his duties in May 2021 by Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting. His crime? Criticizing the way in which Marxism has infiltrated the United States military. On Friday, January 17, 2025, President Trump announced he was promoting Matthew Lohmeier to Under Secretary of the Air Force.

PARDONS: Just before Trump took the oath of office, the Biden White House released news that Joe had signed one of those “preemptive” blanket pardons for all of his family members. Are these even legal?

After leaving the Capital One Arena late on Jan. 20, Trump went into his newly reclaimed Oval Office and pardoned roughly 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6 breach, while commuting sentences of 14 individuals still serving time.

SCREENSHOT: This showed up in my email feed today.

SECRETARY OF STATE: On January 20, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has served since 2011, voted 22-0 to confirm President Trump’s nomination of him to become the next Secretary of State. An hour later, the Senate voted for him 99-0. Rubio, 53, has likely faced the easiest confirmation process out of Trump’s Cabinet choices. Many senators have worked with Rubio on policy issues where he built bipartisan support.

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of life. Make us instruments, Lord, by which others will see You and who You are. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

AMBASSADORS TO HOLLYWOOD: In a surprise post on Truth Social, Trump announced, “It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California.

“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!

“These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

FAUXTUS: Mr. “I believe in the rule of law” spent his final morning in the Oval Office signing preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and people who served on and the law enforcement officers who testified before the U.S. House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. He did not issue pardons to the innocents who have been rotting in prison for years after being invited in to said Capitol by said law enforcement officers.

MIDDLE EAST: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Jan. 19 that Hamas had released three female hostages amid a fragile cease-fire deal that went into effect early on Jan. 19.

S&G: An Australian transgender pedophile (25) has been convicted of repeatedly abusing his own 5-year-old daughter sexually while filming the incidents which he then shared with another pervert. The judge cited transphobia as a mitigating factor in the decision to sentence him to just over 4 years in prison. He will be eligible for parole in 2.5 years.

An Austrian kindergarten has expelled two children after their parents expressed concerns about their classrooms having posters depicting nude and trans-identified humans. One is titled, “Bodies naked and bare, vulva, penis, breasts, butts. You decide for yourself, indeed! Bodies are cool!” Others show an obese male in the shower with a young boy, a trans-identified male with an exposed penis and breasts, and two nude children taking a shower with an adult.

TIKTOK: Last year, members of Congress passed the ban on TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, over concerns that the platform is collecting sensitive data and information on Americans. The law required that ByteDance, which has long had an internal Chinese Communist Party committee with its own secretary, divest from TikTok within 270 days of the law being passed, which was Jan. 19.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said that he plans to uphold the divest-or-ban law on TikTok. “It’s not the platform that members of Congress are concerned about. It’s the Chinese Communist Party, and their manipulation of the algorithms.” Those algorithms, he said, have been “flooding the minds of American children with terrible messages, glorifying violence, and anti-Semitism, and even suicide and eating disorders,” describing it as a “very dangerous thing.”

The site went dark on Sunday until Trump asked tech companies to allow it to operate. He plans to sign an executive order giving the company 90 more days to divest or else.

DAILY PRAYER: God, we ask for your blessing on the emotional and spiritual connections in our families. We ask for your help in building the trust and mutual respect that are integral to love and commitment. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

FAUXTUS: [6:47] – Old puddin’ brain recently told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, “Red states really screwed up in terms of the way they handled their economy, the way they handle manufacturing and the way they handle supply chains.”

Labor Department data shows that, on average, Republican-led states have recovered 143% of the jobs lost during the pandemic vs. just 118% in Democrat-run states.

Meanwhile, Moody’s Analytics, which uses 13 metrics, including the value of goods and services produced, employment, retail sales and new-home listings, to assess each state’s economic health shows 11 of top 15 are red vs. 8 of the bottom 10 which are blue.

FEDERAL RESERVE: in December 2020, the U.S. Federal Reserve joined the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS).
