Trump presents 10-point plan to dismantle and de-weaponize the ‘Deep State’
From LifeSiteNews
In a video presentation, President-elect Donald J. Trump issued a 10-point plan promising to radically dismantle and de-weaponize the “Deep State,” and send much of what is left “of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp” to “places filled with patriots who love America.”
Trump’s announcement sent shockwaves of fear and anxiety throughout the nation’s capital.
As part of Trump’s plan, he promises to “clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled, so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies.”
He also proposes to expose the “abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart”; to “establish a ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption”; and to “monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people.”
Once his new administration begins, Trump said he would “push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.”
In President-elect Trump’s own words:
Here is my plan to dismantle the Deep State and reclaim our democracy from Washington corruption once and for all.
First, I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the President’s authority to remove rogue bureaucrats, and I will wield that power very aggressively.
Second, we will clean out all of the corrupt actors in our national security and intelligence apparatus. The departments and agencies that have been weaponized will be completely overhauled, so that faceless bureaucrats will never again be able to target and persecute conservatives, Christians, or the left’s political enemies.
Third, we will totally reform FISA courts which are so corrupt that the judges seemingly do not care when they’re lied to in warrant applications.”
Fourth, to expose the hoaxes and abuses of power that have been tearing our country apart. We will establish a ‘Truth and Reconciliation Commission’ to declassify and publish all documents on Deep State spying, censorship, and corruption.
Fifth, we will launch a major crackdown on government leakers who collude with the fake news to deliberately weave false narratives and to subvert our government and our democracy. When possible, we will press criminal charges.
Sixth: We will make every Inspector General’s office independent and physically separated from the departments they oversee so they do not become the protectors of the Deep State.”
Seventh, I will ask Congress to establish an independent auditing system to continually monitor our intelligence agencies to ensure they are not spying on our citizens or running disinformation campaigns against the American people, or that they are not spying on someone’s campaign like they spied on my campaign.”
Eighth, we will continue the effort launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp. Just as I moved the Bureau of Land Management to Colorado, as many as one hundred thousand government positions could be moved out — immediately — to places filled with patriots who love America.
Ninth: I will work to ban federal bureaucrats from taking jobs at the companies they deal with and that they regulate.”
Finally, I will push a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on members of Congress.”
This is how I will shatter the Deep State and restore government that is controlled by the people and for the people.

‘There Will Be Very Serious Retaliation’: Two American Servicemen, Interpreter Killed In Syrian Attack
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
Two U.S. Army soldiers and an American civilian interpreter were killed in a Saturday attack in Syria, the Department of War announced.
Sean Parnell, chief spokesman for the Pentagon, announced the three deaths in a statement posted to X, adding that three others were wounded. The attack occurred as the U.S. soldiers were conducting a “key leader engagement,” Parnell stated.
The soldiers’ mission was “in support of on-going counter-ISIS/counter-terrorism operations in the region,” Parnell wrote. The attack occurred in an area Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa does not have control, Fox News reported, citing a Pentagon official.

“The soldiers’ names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification,” he continued. “This attack is currently under active investigation.”
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a Saturday statement posted on X that the “savage” who perpetrated the attack was “killed by partner forces.”
“Let it be known, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the U.S. will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you,” Hegseth wrote.
U.S. and Syrian forces came under attack Saturday amid a joint patrol near Palmyra, The New York Times reported, citing Syrian state news agency SANA. U.S. Central Command also confirmed the deaths in a Saturday X post, but noted additional updates about the incident will be provided as they become available.
President Trump responded to the attack on Truth Social:
We mourn the loss of three Great American Patriots in Syria, two soldiers, and one Civilian Interpreter. Likewise, we pray for the three injured soldiers who, it has just been confirmed, are doing well. This was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria, that is not fully controlled by them. The President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack. There will be very serious retaliation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Tyler Robinson walked into a packed Provo courtroom Thursday looking nothing like a man facing a potential firing squad. The 22-year-old accused of murdering conservative leader Charlie Kirk during a Utah Valley University event sat at the defense table in a blue button-down and tie, trading quiet laughs with his attorneys as his family watched from the gallery. It was the first time the public had seen Robinson in person since the September 10 shooting that stunned the country, when Kirk — a 31-year-old father of two and a driving force behind a new generation of young conservatives — was gunned down in front of thousands.
Judge Tony Graf allowed cameras to film only part of Thursday’s hearing before moving into a closed session to hear arguments over whether the media should be barred from future proceedings. Robinson’s attorneys insist that cameras could influence potential jurors, a claim that has been echoed by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office. Graf agreed to a limited compromise, cutting the feed for the internal debate but reopening the courtroom afterward. Even Robinson’s own family — his father, mother, and brother — were temporarily removed during the closed-door portion despite defense requests to keep them inside.

Through it all, Robinson appeared almost relaxed. He smiled, whispered what looked like joking comments to his lawyers, and maintained a calm demeanor that stood in stark contrast to the charges he’s facing: aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. Prosecutors say Robinson shot Kirk once in the neck with a bolt-action rifle as Kirk spoke onstage, then slipped away as stunned students rushed to help. Videos of the attack ricocheted across social media within minutes, fueling national outrage and triggering a manhunt.
The break in the case came 33 hours later, when Robinson’s own father turned him in after images of the suspected shooter circulated online. Investigators say Robinson later admitted the killing in text messages to a trans live-in partner and even described where he hid the rifle. He has not yet entered a plea.
Robinson fought successfully to appear in civilian clothing — a request Judge Graf granted in an earlier remote hearing — but the court ordered him to remain shackled for safety reasons, with instructions that the restraints not be filmed. Meanwhile, Erika Kirk, the widow of the slain Turning Point USA co-founder, has been adamant that cameras stay in place, arguing the public deserves to see the man accused of executing her husband in broad daylight.
If convicted, Robinson faces the death penalty — by firing squad, the method allowed under Utah law.
