Report Reveals How Ruthlessly The Biden Administration Persecuted Christian Education: While Americans were focused on the weaponization of federal law enforcement and the justice system, the Biden administration was also quietly but ruthlessly weaponizing the U.S. Department of Education against Christian institutions as well. Those are the findings of a shocking new report by the pro-family group American Principles Project. The numbers are shocking but hard to deny. According to new data obtained by APP, almost 70 percent of the Biden education bureaucracy’s “enforcement actions” targeted faith-based and career schools. For perspective, those categories represent less than 10 percent of students across the country. Two of the nation’s largest and most important Christian institutions of higher education, Liberty University and Grand Canyon University, both found themselves in the crosshairs. The universities were hit with record-breaking fines totaling more than all other fines combined: Almost $38 million for Grand Canyon and $14 million for Liberty. Both of those institutions, along with many other smaller ones, were targeted by a relatively unknown office within the Department of Education called the “Office of Enforcement.” The three primary tactics for “dismantling its targets” described in the APP report are huge penalties, “scrutinize and fine” investigations, and cutting off federal funds. Grand Canyon University spokesman Bob Romantic expressed hope that change was coming. Officials there “look forward to an administration that, rather than using federal agencies to harass universities to which they are ideologically opposed, will reduce bureaucracy while applying regulations fairly and equitably,” he told The Center Square. The persecution of Christian institutions by the federal government shows the danger of allowing them to become dependent on public money. While Trump and Republican lawmakers may be able to rein in some of the lawlessness over the next few years, Democrats will resume their attacks as soon as they are able. Christians must prepare. The Center Square reported that Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) introduced the companion resolution of the term limit legislation in the House, stating, "Those of us in Congress ought to serve for a reasonable period of time and then return home to live under the laws we enacted." There is overwhelming bipartisan support for term limits. A Pew Research Center survey conducted in July 2023 found that 90% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents and 86% of Democrats and Democratic leaners support limiting the number of terms that members of Congress can serve. The survey also found that 79% of all respondents signaled support for a maximum age limit for elected officials in the nation's capital. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the longest-serving senator in the previous Congress and the oldest lawmaker in the Senate chamber who is set to finish his current term at the age of 95, was briefly hospitalized in 2024. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), another geriatric lawmaker and the longest-serving Senate party leader in American history, has similarly had health issues in recent months and years, freezing up when fielding questions, repeatedly tripping, and receiving treatment for a concussion. The late Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein first took office in a 1992 special election and was re-elected five times. Despite clear signs of mental deterioration — signaling at times she didn't know where she was going or where she had been — her aides and allies kept wheeling her into the Senate and allegedly telling her how to cast votes. A Pentagon-funded study highlighted in 2023 how elderly government officials' mental degradation could pose significant risks to national and global security. The RAND Corporation's National Security Research Division indicated that as a consequence of people living longer and working later in life, "The workforce might experience a higher prevalence of dementia than in past generations." Return managing editor Peter Gietl previously noted in a piece on America's "octogenarian oligarchy" that "our present-day leadership seem to have no interest in enjoying their golden years with their families, spending the hundreds of millions they've accumulated. Power is an elixir that is hard to put down." Cruz's proposed constitutional amendment will require a two-thirds majority vote both in the U.S. House and Senate. Incoming National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told Breitbart News exclusively that every intelligence official from the various departments and agencies across the federal government currently detailed to the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House under outgoing President Joe Biden will be expected to vacate the premises by 12:01 p.m. Eastern on Inauguration Day when President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated again. Waltz, in a phone interview earlier this week, told Breitbart News that he is making sure everyone understands that it’s “crystal clear what the agenda is.” The way the NSC works is the National Security Advisor oversees a team of political appointees from the president who oversee a wide range of what are called “detailees”—people who work at the various agencies and departments across the federal government who are assigned, or detailed, to work at the White House for a period of time on the NSC in a portfolio in which they demonstrate expertise. These career intelligence officials come from places as wide-ranging as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the Pentagon, and other law enforcement and intelligence agencies, and report up to the political appointees atop each major portfolio in the NSC. The NSC has various issue-specific portfolios like counterterrorism and cyber policy as well as regional portfolios focused on things like the western hemisphere or the Middle East or Europe or Asia. The detailees then help coordinate back to the various agencies and departments so the whole federal government executes on the decisions that the president makes. One of the major problems Trump faced in his first term came from inside the NSC with some of these detailees, as the person who spearheaded the first impeachment of Trump—Alexander Vindman—was one such person. Waltz told Breitbart News that he is taking very serious steps to ensure that there are no more Vindmans. From this point forward, he said, anyone who gets a detailee position on the NSC will be on board with the president’s agenda. But “a lot of” the NSC action this next few years he said would be undoing the damage of the Biden years.... “It’s also going to be incumbent upon the Cabinet heads to one, I think, cut what is a bloated bureaucracy and then two make sure it’s in line with executing what the president wants to pull together...." Joe Biden canceled student loans for 150,000 borrowers on Monday one week before Trump’s inauguration. “Today, my Administration is approving student loan relief for more than 150,000 borrowers – bringing the total number of Americans who have had their student debt cancelled by my Administration to over 5 million. These 150,000 borrowers include: almost 85,000 borrowers who attended schools that cheated and defrauded their students, 61,000 borrowers with total and permanent disabilities, and 6,100 public service workers,” Biden said in a statement on Monday. Joe Biden boasted about passing down the ‘canceled’ student loan costs to the working class and middle-class families that never sent their kids to college. Biden also punished the responsible people who paid back their student loans in full because they don’t get refunds. After his initial loan forgiveness announcement, Biden continued to unveil new ‘workarounds’ following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the debt cancelations. It was reported earlier this month that President Trump has plans to immediately unwind Joe Biden’s unconstitutional student loan forgiveness program. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/joe-biden-forgives-student-loans-150000-borrowers-just/ California Governor Gavin Newsom has openly admitted to collaborating with Hawaii Governor Josh Green on plans to address “land use concerns” following the devastating wildfires. During an interview with Fox 11, Newsom revealed his intentions to take swift legal action in response to what he described as “speculators coming in, buying up properties.” However, critics warn this could signal the beginning of a broader government “land grab.” “He had some ideas around some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying up properties and the like. We’re already working with our legal teams to move those things forward, and we’ll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks,” he added. While Newsom frames the initiative as a move to protect vulnerable communities from predatory land buyers, skeptics see a darker motive. Many believe this is a thinly veiled attempt to consolidate government control over private property, a pattern that’s become all too familiar in leftist strongholds. Additionally, there have been discussions about the state utilizing eminent domain to acquire land in Lahaina to ensure it remains in local hands and to prevent opportunistic acquisitions by external parties, according to Hawaii Free Press. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/gavin-newsom-admits-he-is-teaming-up-hawaiis/ In the wake of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged Los Angeles County, Governor Gavin Newsom has unveiled an ambitious initiative dubbed the “Reimagining LA 2.0” to reconstruct the city. This plan, which he refers to as “reimagining LA 2.0,” aims to rebuild the city with a focus on modernization and resilience, particularly in anticipation of the 2028 Olympics and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Gavin Newsom decided to take his PR campaign to national television on Sunday, and the results were a major disaster with notable word salads, wild gestures, and more. Earlier, The Gateway Pundit reported that the recent wildfires in California have led to the spread of conspiracy theories suggesting that these fires were intentionally set to advance the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 and the development of smart cities. The United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes goals aimed at making cities “inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.” This involves the concept of “smart cities,” which utilize technology to improve urban operations and the quality of life for residents. The “SmartLA 2028” strategy, outlined in a document published by the City of Los Angeles, envisions a highly digital and connected city by 2028 under the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/smartla-2028-newsom-announces-marshall-plan-rebuild-new/ In the run-up to the historic inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States, much has been written and discussed about his stated territorial expansion objectives involving the Panama Canal, Canada and Greenland. While many dismiss these goals as pure fantasy or, at best, as extremely unlikely, it turns out that in the case of Denmark’s territory of Greenland, it actually may not be so. A new survey has arisen that found a majority of Greenland respondents supporting the island joining the United States. The Hill reported: “According to a poll by Patriot Polling released Sunday, 57.3 percent of respondents approve of Greenland becoming part of the U.S. Just 37.4 percent disapproved of the potential acquisition and 5.3 percent are undecided about the move." https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/another-star-flag-new-poll-shows-that-majority/ President-elect Donald Trump said his inauguration will be moved into the Capitol rotunda due to forecasted freezing temperatures. The weather forecast currently predicts a high of 24 degrees with 15-mile-an-hour winds. Trump posted on Truth Social: January 20th cannot come fast enough! Everybody, even those that initially opposed a Victory by President Donald J. Trump and the Trump Administration, just want it to happen. It is my obligation to protect the People of our Country but, before we even begin, we have to think of the Inauguration itself. The weather forecast for Washington, D.C., with the windchill factor, could take temperatures into severe record lows. There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!). Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather.The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience! We will open Capital One Arena on Monday for LIVE viewing of this Historic event, and to host the Presidential Parade. Yes, I'm about to post a warning from that Pastor Biggs about the inaguration, etc. President-elect Donald Trump is demanding the FBI preserve all records from its Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) office, which has reportedly closed. Trump took to Truth Social to call for the preservation of records. “We demand that the FBI preserve and retain all records, documents, and information on the now closing DEI Office—Never should have been opened and, if it was, should have closed long ago,” Trump wrote. Citing multiple sources, Breitbart News Pentagon Correspondent Kristina Wong reported just days after Trump’s landslide win in November that “The Pentagon is in ‘absolute disarray’ with ‘generals scrambling’ due to the incoming Trump administration’s plans to fire woke senior military leaders who prioritized” DEI: The scramble to hide evidence comes as President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team has begun gathering names of senior officers who pushed DEI. One source familiar with the plan told Breitbart News that an executive order has been drafted to create a panel to recommend those senior officers for elimination and that the EO is “definitely” going to Trump’s desk. @patrician They don't have to do anything he says until after the inauguration and by then it's too late? President-elect Donald Trump is doing some things differently this term than his first — such as surrounding himself with trustworthy people — Lara Trump said during a Breitbart Fight Club Roundtable on Thursday. When asked by Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle what Trump is doing “differently this term versus his first term, and how will he keep focused on getting his agenda completed,” Lara Trump said Americans are already witnessing some of the key differences. “I think first and foremost, you’re seeing it happen right now. You’re seeing the people with whom he’s surrounding himself in the administration,” she began. “And I think if you went back and asked Donald Trump, what’s a mistake you made during the first term in office, he would say, ‘You know what, the personnel,’ and the reality is, no one was really prepared for presidential transition after he won the presidency,” she explained, recalling that they had “such a lean campaign” and were inexperienced and “green.” ...That meant that, you know, we had a very short amount of time to fill so many of these different positions, and he had to just rely on people who some of them were here at the RNC,” she explained, noting that some of these individuals were people he had never interacted with. And some of them turned out to be individuals who stabbed him in the back, not working for the American people. “He’s not going to make that same mistake this time around. And you can see that with all of these picks for his administration. These are great people,” she said, predicting they will do an “amazing job” and remain loyal, the latter of which she said is important because “you don’t want them working behind the scenes in a nefarious way.” Trump said her father-in-law is saddened to see how the country has been destroyed over the past four years, and he knows it is up to him to place it on the right path again. ...He knows the landscape of Washington, DC. He knows good people, he knows the bad people.
