Stephen Miller, a leading advocate for stricter immigration policies, is set to become White House deputy chief of staff for policy under President-elect Donald Trump’s second term. Miller, a key figure in Trump’s first administration, has been instrumental in shaping the president-elect’s immigration agenda, including plans for mass deportations and the creation of detention centers. Miller’s appointment signifies a continuation of Trump’s hardline immigration policies and suggests a second term focused on aggressive enforcement measures. His influence on the White House will likely lead to increased scrutiny and potential legal challenges to Trump’s immigration agenda.

Anthony Scaramucci, former White House communications director under Donald Trump, expressed strong resentment towards his former boss in an interview, saying he would like to confront Trump physically if not for the president’s Secret Service protection. Scaramucci, known also as the Mooch, was only in the White House for 11 days and had no previous qualifications for his position. Despite this and going through a scandal involving a taped phone call with a New Yorker reporter, he claims it was not the reason he was fired. Since leaving the White House, he has rebranded himself as a political heavy-hitter through the British podcast The Rest is Politics: US. Despite understanding why some would vote for Trump, Scaramucci condemns the president as racist and a fascist.

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the highest office in the United States was held by someone who would rip up documents after reading them. Not only is it a blatant disregard for the importance of the information contained in those papers, but it also shows a lack of respect for the fundamental principles of governance and accountability.
The idea that White House aides had to painstakingly collect the torn shreds of documents and tape them back together so they could be archived is mind-boggling. It speaks volumes about the character of Donald Trump and the kind of leadership he exhibited during his time in office.… Continue reading
The Trump White House was awash in drugs because no one wanted to be there. It’s not surprising, really. The same people who were avoiding the White House like the plague were the ones who voted him in, chanting ‘lock her up’ and ‘drain the swamp’ while turning a blind eye to the actual swamp that was festering in the Oval Office.
The reports of drug abuse within the White House are disturbing, to say the least. Adderall, fentanyl, morphine, and ketamine were apparently as common as office supplies. Who in their right mind takes fentanyl willingly? And let’s not forget the modafinil, Xanax, and other unlisted drugs that were reportedly easy to come by.… Continue reading
It is both alarming and concerning to learn about the rampant use of stimulants and sedatives within the Trump White House, especially when considering the individuals in key positions who had easy access to these powerful drugs. The revelation that the White House Medical Unit was “awash in speed” and Xanax sheds light on the chaotic and stressful environment that permeated the administration during that time.
The implications of senior and mid-level staff members relying on stimulants and sedatives to cope with the demands of their roles raise questions about the impact of such drug use on decision-making processes and overall governance.… Continue reading
As a dog lover, hearing about Commander, one of President Bidens’ dogs, biting Secret Service personnel in at least 24 incidents is quite concerning. Dogs, especially certain breeds like German Shepherds, can react anxiously and protectively in unfamiliar situations, leading to potential aggression. Knowing this, it begs the question of why Commander was not removed from the White House sooner to avoid these repeated incidents.
German Shepherds are loyal and protective animals, but they require specific training and daily exercise to maintain a balanced temperament. Placing a high-profile pet like Commander in an environment where there are constantly personnel moving around could have been a disaster waiting to happen.… Continue reading
The White House has always been a symbol of power and authority. It represents the highest level of leadership and integrity in our nation. So, when I came across the headline “The White House has its own pharmacy—and, boy, was it shady under Trump”, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of shock and disappointment. How could such a revered institution be involved in something so questionable?
As I delved into the article, I was confronted with revelations that left me speechless. The White House pharmacy, operated by the White House Medical Unit, was not staffed by licensed pharmacists or pharmacy support staff.… Continue reading
