A quotation from Joseph Addison
If men of eminence are exposed to censure on one hand, they are as much liable to flattery on the other. If they receive reproaches which are not due to them, they likewise receive praises which they do not deserve. In a word, the man in a high post is never regarded with an indifferent eye, but always considered as a friend or an enemy. For this reason persons in great stations have seldom their true characters drawn till several years after their deaths. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done them. When writers have the least opportunity of knowing the truth, they are in the best disposition to tell it.
It is therefore the privilege of posterity to adjust the characters of illustrious persons, and to set matters right between those antagonists who by their rivalry for greatness divided a whole age into factions.Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman

#Trump has made clear he wants the chance to stack the nation’s #CentralBank with #political #loyalists. In court, the admin has strenuously steered clear of this rhetoric. Outside of court, though, Trump has repeatedly boasted about the changes he hopes to bring to the #Fed.

Introduction Kings Landing is located west of the City of Fredericton in the Province of New Brunswick, Canada. The historical significance of the United Empire Loyalist migrations, though also impacting the areas nearer Fredericton, Saint John, Annapolis Royal (Nova Scotia), the Eastern Township of Québec, and numerous areas in both Northern and Southern Ontario, has largely been associated with the migrations from the New York area to the Province of New Brunswick and surrounding […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2026/01/01/hype-for-the-future-62p-kings-landing-new-brunswick/

"And I don't understand why it is," #Jackson said, "that the thought that the president gets to control everything, can outweigh Congress's clear authority & duty to protect the people in this way?"
Jackson notes that #Congress has decided #experts should be who is making decisions about particular areas. Then the president comes in & fires scientists, economists, PhDs etc with #loyalists. How is that in the people’s best interests?

#Trump #MAGA #loyalty #loyalists
I'm sure you're all bigger-swearing bigger allegiance to Trump after hearing about one of his Best People getting indicted by the Trump #DoJ because y'all want to be the bestest mostest loyalist, but you're not getting the big picture--y'all are volunteering to be expendable. When you swear you'll die for Trump, you never figured that you've pledged your professional life for death. So you think that serving the Trump Administration is an honor, do you? As long as you recognize that you being Trump's fall-guy is an honor, well, that's on you.

#Democrats & #CivilSociety #watchdogs say the move is intended to silence #opposition, in addition to seeking #retribution against his perceived personal enemies.
Timothy Naftali, a presidential historian & fmr director of the #Nixon presidential library, said #Trump & Nixon were similar in their desire to punish political enemies & #silence critics, but a pliant #Republican-controlled #Congress & a cabinet packed with #loyalists are enabling Trump to go further.

#Authoritarianism 101--place #incompetent #loyalists in charge of major #institutions to break them, thus providing "proof" that "#government doesn't work" and the need for a "strong man" to step in and fix things (even if this is against the #law).

Trump’s possible connection 2 #convicted #sexoffender #JeffreyEpstein may be the 1 thing that undermines his base of support, causes #Republican #loyalists in #Congress to turn on him. This makes it politically explosive. Congress returning from Aug recess & looking into #Epsteingate the issue will either grow or disappear in next few weeks. Roughly 1/2 of country now believes #Trump was involved in crimes committed by #Epstein. More than 2/3 believe that Trump admin hiding info about Epstein.

#DonaldTrump stunned even his #loyalists this week when he linked his desire to end the #war in #Ukraine with his desire to “get to #heaven Yes, you read that right: peace talks as a pathway to eternal salvation. He admitted, “I’m hearing I’m not doing well… I’m at the bottom of the totem pole,” before framing #diplomacy with #Russia and #Ukraine as his possible ticket to the afterlife." #trump #maga #health Congestive Heart Failure? #russia #authoritarian #politics https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/video-did-trump-just-tell-us-hes

Sometimes the best research discoveries happen when you're in the library. Finding Dr. Phillip Papas's That Ever Loyal Island: Staten Island and the American Revolution. Research has a way of connecting you to scholars whose work becomes integral to your own understanding.

Had an amazing conversation with historian Dr. Phillip Papas after his talk on Loyalists and Staten Island during the American Revolution. His research reveals so much about this complex period. Great discussing history writing as I work on my own 18th century Tottenville book. Looking forward to his Peace Conference presentation on September 13th!

#Trump has stacked the #DOJ & the #Pentagon with personal #loyalists, & has tended to bypass the Office of Legal Counsel [#OLC] — the institution traditionally responsible for vetting the legality of executive actions. Although the standard guidelines & procedures for past #domestic deployments remain on the books, there is substantial reason to doubt that the civilian leadership will follow them.

> its vast expansion of the Homeland Security budget, which will be used to build #ICE into a huge national army of #loyalists under Trump’s control... This is the Proud Boys, at national scale, with badges. It is a very dangerous prospect.
> [current] combined funding of the FBI, DEA, ATF, Secret Service, and all other federal law enforcement is only half the size of the federal funding for immigration and border enforcement.

President #Biden rescinded the order after he took office, but after taking office again in Jan, #Trump signed a new EO reinstating & renaming it.
Trump & his allies laid the groundwork for a new admin stocked w/ #loyalists. #ScheduleF was a significant part of that plan.
Many of the Trump allies who pushed for Schedule F now have key roles in the admin, including Dpty Chief of Staff #StephenMiller & #OMB Dir #RussVought.

The role, which is NOT subject to #Senate approval, is an important one. In it, Kyle Diamantas, 37, will be responsible for ensuring the safety of ~80% of the nation’s food supply. The already-overtaxed division is vital to #PublicHealth, responsible for everything from overseeing the complex manufacturing of #InfantFormula to responding to deadly bacterial #contamination & managing food supplies in the wake of hurricanes & floods.

The 3 resignations are a rebuke to the #Trump admin, which has removed or transferred multiple senior #DOJ ofcls & fired dozens of prosecutors since Trump took office, while attempting to install #loyalists in key #law enforcement posts.
Last week, on her first day leading the department, AG #PamBondi demanded “zealous advocacy” of Trump’s agenda from the DOJ’s 10k lawyers, threatening #termination if they declined to sign a brief or appear in court because of their personal beliefs. -
The #CIA does not disclose its budget or the number of people it employs.

Track Trump’s political nominees
#GiftArticle link should continue to work as it gets updated w/time
#Trump has picked 117 nominees to fill key roles in his admin so far
WaPo is tracking 817 government positions among about 1,300 that require #Senate #confirmation.
566 positions have no Trump nominee.
39 picks are awaiting formal nomination.
74 nominees are being considered by the Senate.
4 have been confirmed

Some of the govt’s largest agencies were involved, including Departments of #Defense, #State, #Transportation, #Veterans Affairs, #HUD, #Interior, & #Energy.
“It’s a widespread massacre,” said one of the fired IGs. “Whoever #Trump puts in now will be viewed as #loyalists, & that undermines the entire system.”
Another fired watchdog said that the new admin “does not want anyone in this role who is going to be independent.”

#Trump fires at least 17 independent inspectors general in late-night purge
The dismissals could clear the way for Trump to install #loyalists in crucial roles of identifying #fraud, waste & #abuse in the #government.
The IGs were notified by emails from the WH personnel director that they had been terminated immediately….The dismissals appeared to violate federal #law, which requires #Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire the IGs.
