And So, The Trump Administration Begins
January 22, 2025
The newly inaugurated president has set an extraordinarily high bar for his second term with Executive Orders to secure the border, increase fossil fuel production, end the federal government’s DEI programs, revive the economy, and much more. Because Trump’s agenda is wide-reaching, expectations among his supporters are high and therefore failure to reach his announced goals would be a huge disappointment. Trump’s honeymoon period could be briefer than the typical 100 days allowed for incoming presidents.

But if Trump can succeed on ending illegal immigration and removing criminal aliens—voters’ top concern—then he will at least have reversed former president Joe Biden’s open borders era. Border czar Tom Homan has promised to begin his alien removal program in sanctuary cities which have been a headache to immigration enforcement since the early 1970s. Berkeley, Calif. claims to have been the first sanctuary when it offered refuge to Vietnamese war victims. Despite Berkeley’s dubious claim—most Vietnamese nationals were legally present refugees—sanctuary cities ballooned to today’s 300 across 13 states. The largest sanctuary cities are New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.

Sanctuary is the practice of shielding illegal aliens in the United States in violation of federal immigration law and beyond federal immigration officers’ reach. Originally limited to a handful of church groups that welcomed a family or two that illegally crossed the border, sanctuary cities have grown into something much larger and more dangerous. Self-proclaimed sanctuary communities have harbored convicted murderers, rapists and kidnappers and have spent tens of millions on shelter as well as millions more on providing social services.

Homan has repeatedly stated that his priority is to remove criminals, especially those in sanctuary cities. Until the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal identified Chicago as the first Immigration and Customs Enforcement target, Homan had scheduled as many as 200 agents to descend on the Windy City to begin its operations. The leaks, Homan said, put officers’ safety at risk and may cause him to re-evaluate the schedule

Chicago, a sanctuary city for 40 years, is perfect for Homan to begin his enforcement operation. In 1985, then-Mayor Harold Washington signed an Executive Order granting sanctuary to all people, regardless of their immigration status, and providing access to city services and benefits. Washington’s order was formalized into the “Welcoming City Ordinance” in 2006 which barred local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker signed a similar order for the entire state in 2021. As a result, the arrival of 628k illegal aliens arrival cost state taxpayers $2.9 billion annually. Since 2022, and particularly to black American citizens’ disgust, more than 20,000 migrants have settled in Chicago, many of whom slept at O’Hare International Airport, at local police stations, in public parks or on the streets. Overall costs to house the illegal alien influx tops $330 million. Instead of ending sanctuary policies which would deter illegal aliens, both Illinois Gov. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson blame the federal government while demanding aid and work permits for illegal aliens. Because of its tenuous budgetary conditions, exacerbated by providing for illegal aliens, S&P downgraded Chicago’s credit rating to BBB, a step above the lowest investment-grade, BBB-, which is a notch above the junk level.

Sanctuary cities violate federal immigration law, specifically 8 USC 1373 and 1644, which say that no state or local government may prohibit or in any way restrict local officials from communicating with federal immigration authorities about a person’s immigration status. But another option to cripple sanctuary cities is available to the Trump administration. Stop sending millions of dollars to sanctuaries that violate federal immigration laws and, through their craven disregard, jeopardize public safely. Every year, the Department of Justice doles out hundreds of millions to sanctuary jurisdictions under three funding programs — the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), the Byrne Justice Assistance Grants (JAG), and the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program. The monetary awards for sanctuaries represent about 40 percent of the available funding under these programs. Sanctuary jurisdictions receive this funding despite actively hindering cooperation between local law enforcement agencies and federal immigration authorities. Consequently, the three federal government programs subsidize agencies that violate federal law and undermine community welfare. California, by a wide margin, receives the greatest aggregate sum from the three programs. Defunding sanctuary cities would avoid the more spectacular arrest process, —handcuffs, police cars and ICE officers—that would create negative press coverage for the administration.

To end the criminality that sanctuary cities represent, the Trump administration should seal the border, covered in one of his election night Executive Orders, remove dangerous criminals from sanctuary jurisdictions, and stop sending the defiant municipalities money.

 

7:10 Dr. Jeffrey Barke, co-author of Unavoidably Unsafe: Childhood Vaccines Reconsidered

 

MRNA Vaccines to Cure Cancer Made by Artificial Intelligence? WTF is Larry Ellison Talking About?

 

Donald Trump Backing mRNA Vaccine Project Gets Backlash

‘Promise of the future’: Oracle’s Larry Ellison says AI can make cancer vaccine available in 48 hrs

 

In Unavoidably Unsafe, Dr. Edward Geehr and Dr. Jeffrey Barke confront the prevailing beliefs surrounding childhood vaccines with unflinching scrutiny and bold insight. As seasoned physicians, they acknowledge the revered status vaccines hold in modern medicine while bravely questioning their safety and efficacy.

 

From the historical triumphs of polio eradication to the complexities of modern immunization schedules, Geehr and Barke unravel the layers of vaccine development and regulation. They shed light on the unintended consequences of vaccine mandates and the erosion of informed consent in the face of mounting pharmaceutical influence.

 

Drawing on decades of clinical experience and exhaustive research, the authors challenge conventional wisdom by addressing critical issues such as:

  • The proliferation of childhood vaccines and their impact on public health
  • The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act and its implications for vaccine safety
  • The symbiotic relationship between pharmaceutical companies and regulatory agencies
  • The shortcomings of Emergency Use Authorization and its implications for vaccine safety
  • The presence of potentially harmful additives in vaccine formulations
  • A fresh look at possible links between vaccines and autism
  • Cautionary considerations regarding mRNA vaccines and their suitability for children
  • Practical guidance for evaluating the risks and benefits of vaccines for individual children
  • The significance of proper informed consent and patient advocacy in vaccination decisions

 

Unavoidably Unsafe is not an indictment of vaccines but a call to arms for informed decision-making and transparency in healthcare. Geehr and Barke aim to empower parents, guardians, and healthcare providers with the knowledge needed to navigate the complex landscape of childhood immunization responsibly.

7:10 State Rep. Dwayne Yunker reports on what is happening early in the state legislature session.

 

7:35 Will Hild, Executive Director of Consumers’ Research,  www.ConsumersResearch.org

In another MASSIVE blow to DEI initiatives Nasdaq has officially moved to reverse its rules which would require companies listed on the exchange disclose board diversity data.

 

The previous Nasdaq policy required companies to disclose its board diversity data and also have at least two “diverse” directors. 

 

A recent ruling by the Fifth Circuit invalidated that requirement, stating that companies no longer needed to comply with Nasdaq’s requirements to meet certain DEI requirements and publicly disclose them.

 

This retreat from these requirements by Nasdaq is a huge shift in the continued pushback of DEI policies. 

 

 

8:10 Captain William E. Simpson

 

For nearly a decade, Bill Meyer and William Simpson have been discussing and stressing the Value of Nature’s Wildfire Fuels Herbivory in regard to managing and reducing the annual grass and brush fueling deadly, costly catastrophic wildfires:

 

1)  EPOCH TIMES article breaks on Jan 5th, speaking to the value of grass & brush herbivory.

 

2).  January 7th, the Los Angeles Palisades grass and brush fires erupted… Estimated losses are now eclipsing $250-Billion! 

 

3)   January 16th, AmDocs Film Festival Announced that Horse of Nature was ‘Officially Selected’.

       AmDocs is an OSCAR qualifying film festival!

 

 

 

 

Autie Carlisle who lives in our area, has produced a series called ‘Shasta Stories‘ and HORSE of NATURE.

 

HORSE of NATURE has already received 4 major film festival awards. Horse of Nature recounts the deadly 38,000-acre wind-driven grass and brush wildfire that threatened the college town of Ashland, OR and the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument in July 2018

 

 

 

What Do We Know Now – 6-years later with thousands of Humans Dead and hundreds of $-Billions lost ?

 

  1. According to the latest wildfire forensics, published scientific studies and insurance analysis, about 66% of all wildfires are fueled primarily by Grass & Brush… NOT TREES, NOT FORESTS!

 

  1. Grass & Brush Fires are responsible for a vast majority of Lives Lost, Property Damage and Economic losses:

  1. 3. Focusing the majority of money and attention on forest fires is like worrying about the mouse in the room with an elephant… MORE about that HERE: https://www.siskiyou.news/2025/01/10/cows-and-horses-dont-eat-trees-an-open-letter/

 

We must Wise Up and start an earnest program of wildfire Prevention by attacking the major grass and brush problem with the all-natural cost-effective mixed species herbivory plan, which we PROVED works!  RxFire, mowing, bio-massing, etc. all combined are NOT SCALABLE onto the 300-million acres in the western U.S. that has annual prodigious grass and brush wildfire fuels.

 

Bottom Line:  Nature Does It Best.

6:35 Richard C. Lyons, author of Passages Through the Shadows, the third volume in the Democracy Series.
A Literary Series Concerning Our Constitutional Republic
Volume I: How and Why our government was made
In Volume I, The DNA of Democracy we took an historical journey, discovering the traits of tyranny and freedom ending in the why and how behind a miracle in Philadelphia which became the unprecedented, still unparalleled, United States Constitution: which turned tyranny on its head, making the individual the sovereign and government the servant for the first time in history, establishing our freedom.
Volume II: How and Why our government has changed
In Volume II, Shadows of the Acropolis, our nation crossed another doorway in time, giving birth to governance of another kind. It is a chronicle of the creation and growth of the constitutionally unenumerated power of the Administrative State, which has become a tyrannical force; not just dissimilar to our founding, but diametrically opposed to the ideals and constitutional design of our freedom.
Volume III: How and Why we face dangers today
In Volume III, Passages through the Shadows, we ask a simple question Socrates asked when examining distinct kinds of government: “Who rules who?” This book is a battleground chronicle of a war that has begun over the American anatomy of government and over the American soul. This work witnesses the battles between America’s founding ideals and the forces that have driven a wedge into our system of governance and into the depths of the American Constitutional idea.
