During my tenure here as the Deputy Director of the FBI, I have repeatedly relayed to you that things are happening that might not be immediately visible, but they are happening. 

The Director and I are committed to stamping out public corruption and the political weaponization of both law enforcement and intelligence operations. It is a priority for us. But what I have learned in the course of our properly predicated and necessary investigations into these aforementioned matters, has shocked me down to my core. We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned. 

We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE. As with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not “my truth,” or “your truth,” but THE TRUTH. 

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
Respectfully,
Dan

I’d like to update you on some things that I think are going well, and some things that we can, and will, do better.

The workforce has been working overtime on task force operations to remove dangerous illegal aliens from the country. The work continues. The message is clear. If you came here illegally to prey on our citizens, your days here are numbered. These removal and incarceration operations will dramatically change the crime landscape in the country when combined with the administration’s laser-focus on sealing the border shut. Expect these operations to ramp up, not slow down.

Crimes against children are a priority for the workforce. Operation “Restoring Justice,” where we locked up child predators and 764 subjects, in every part of the country, is just the beginning. We are going to take your freedom if you take away a child’s innocence. Think twice if you’ve targeted children, because you’re next.

We’re clearing information to Congress, and the public, as quickly as possible. In just the couple of months since we’ve sworn in we’ve responded to requests for information on the attack on Rep. Scalise and members of Congress, the Nashville attack, Crossfire Hurricane, the COVID cover-up and more. We are working with the DOJ on the Epstein case and, as the AG stated, there are voluminous amounts of downloaded child sexual abuse material that we are dealing with. There are also victim’s statements that are entitled to specific protections. We need to do this correctly, but I do understand the public’s desire to get the information out there.

We’re doing our best in the current budgetary environment to prioritize the mission, act as good fiscal stewards, find waste and inefficiencies, and to enact reforms while moving the FBI forward. It hasn’t been easy, but we’ll get it done. We have weekly meetings where we meet with our CFO, and our new CIO and CTO team, and we go through budget items line by line. It’s your money, and it’s your FBI. We won’t forget that.

I have no desire to sugarcoat this one - it’s been difficult in this new role to stay relatively quiet while certain elements of the media continue to entirely fabricate stories about what we’re doing at the FBI. But that’s part of the job as a public servant. I don’t work for myself anymore, I work for the public. And while I can’t address all of the nonsense in this one post, I will address the repeated attacks on Director Patel. The Director’s office is attached to mine. I am in most of the briefings he is in. He spends anywhere between 10-12 hours in the office attending meetings with everyone from foreign heads of law enforcement to our counter-terror teams, and more. Any assertion otherwise is a verifiable lie designed to stop our reforms and fracture your trust. I will die on this hill. You are being clearly lied to by people with an agenda, and it’s not your agenda.

Thanks for allowing me to communicate with you on this channel. Other things are happening as well, and they will become evident in the coming weeks and months. Keep watching us and holding us accountable.

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.

The first day of President Trump's second term is the most aggressive and ambitious in the history of the country. On his first day in office, President Trump took all of the following actions:

-Pardons for about 1500 J6 defendants

-An order declaring that, henceforth, birthright citizenship is limited to the children of lawful permanent residents of the United states, not illegal immigrants, tourists, or those here on temporary work visas

-An order pulling America out of the Paris Climate accord

-An order pulling the US out of the World Health Organization

-A temporary freeze on all non-military, non-national security federal hiring

-A temporary freeze on creating new federal regulations

-An order to rename the Gulf of Mexico officially to the Gulf of America, and returning Denali's name back to Mt. McKinley

-An order delaying the TikTok ban for 75 days

-An order declaring an emergency on the Southern Border and designating Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups

-An order immediately repealing 78 existing Biden orders. One of those orders revives a ban on transgender troops in the military. Another ends Biden restrictions on oil drilling in certain areas.

-Ordering all federal employees to return to the workplace in-person

-An order to eliminate all federal government diversity programs, including eliminating all federal DEI jobs. The order also mandates a review of all federal grants that went to DEI or "environmental justice" programs, and orders a review of federal contractors who have provided DEI training manuals to federal workers.

-A new order reclassifying members of the federal civil servants so they are easier to fire and replace, especially if they hinder or sabotage the administration's planned agenda.

-An order to review all potential political weaponization or misconduct within the DOJ, SEC, FTC, and the intelligence agencies over the past four years

-Declaring that the federal government only recognizes two sexes

-Ordering the Bureau of Prisons to cease providing any funding or support for inmate sex changes or transgender therapies

-Order to end all censorship of protected speech by the Federal government, including under the guise of fighting "misinformation"

-Revoking security clearances for John Bolton and everybody to signed the Hunter Biden laptop letter

-Ordering the administration to make recommendations for beautifying federal architecture

-Ordering a 90 day pause of US foreign assistance funding so it can be adjusted to match new US political goals

No president has been more determined to immediately keep every promise that he ran on in the previous election.

America is going to become great again.

It's only been 24 hours.

Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop).

Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

Good summary from Grok on the latest updates on FinCEN. Took some time to even find this information:

The article discusses the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) suspending reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) due to ongoing legal challenges regarding its constitutionality. The CTA requires "reporting companies" to disclose beneficial ownership information to FinCEN to combat financial crimes like money laundering. However, the Act's constitutionality has been contested in several U.S. courts, leading to diverse rulings:

* **Texas**: A federal district court issued a nationwide injunction against the CTA, deeming it likely unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause.
* **Alabama**: An earlier ruling also found the CTA to exceed Congress's powers.
* **Oregon and Virginia**: Courts in these states have upheld the law, suggesting plaintiffs are unlikely to succeed in their constitutional challenges.
⠀
Due to these legal disputes, FinCEN has suspended the enforcement of CTA reporting requirements while the cases are on appeal in the Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits. This suspension particularly affects deadlines for initial reports from companies formed before and after 2024. The article advises companies to monitor developments closely as the legal proceedings could impact future compliance obligations. Additionally, it mentions the potential for significant penalties for willful violations if the CTA's enforcement is reinstated.

The article emphasizes the need for businesses to stay informed about these legal developments and adjust their compliance strategies accordingly.
