WOW: Secretary of State Marco Rubio Strikes “The Most Extraordinary Migrant Agreement Anywhere in the World” with El Salvador – Here are the Stunning Details:

Significant news broke Monday night that could prove an absolute game-changer in President Trump’s arduous efforts to keep America safe and ship out illegal aliens. And we have one fearless leader of a small country in Central America to thank for this.

As CBS News reported, Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to urge him to do more to assist the Trump administration on its illegal immigration crackdown.

Bukele, who has become a global hero for turning El Salvador into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere thanks to his iron-fist approach to criminals, came through in dramatic fashion. Rubio said what the two agreed to is genuinely historic.

The details are indeed absolutely stunning. Not only has El Salvador agreed to take in criminal illegal alien deportees of all nationalities, but it has also offered to take in violent criminals imprisoned in the United States, even if they are AMERICAN citizens.

“We can send them and he will put them in his jails,” Rubio revealed. “And, he’s also offered to do the same for dangerous criminals currently in custody and serving their sentences in the United States even though they’re U.S. citizens or legal residents.”

“President Bukele agreed to take back all Salvadoran MS-13 gang members who are in the United States unlawfully. He also promised to accept and incarcerate violent, illegal immigrants, including members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang, but also criminal illegal migrants from any country,” Bruce said.

“The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.”

Report: Donald Trump to Dismantle Department of Education with Executive Order:

President Donald Trump is preparing to sign an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, two sources familiar with the plan told NBC News.

The report appears to confirm a report from the Wall Street Journal on Monday that indicated Trump administration officials were weighing executive actions to dismantle the department, a move that would likely place the education of children in the hands of the states.

“In total American society pours more than $1 trillion a year into public education systems but instead of being at the top of the list, we are literally right smack — guess what — at the bottom,” Trump previously said.

It is unclear how the executive order might work, but it appears only Congress has the authority to totally abolish the department.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) authored a bill last month to terminate the power of “unelected bureaucrats in Washington” to be “in charge of our children’s intellectual and moral development.”

“States and local communities are best positioned to shape curricula that meet the needs of their students,” he added. “Schools should be accountable. Parents have the right to choose the most appropriate educational opportunity for their children, including home school, public school, or private school.”

Trump’s expected executive order will not be his first on the topic of education. He previously signed an order to expand school choice, which directs the Department of Education to release a plan within 60 days on how states can utilize federal funds to bolster school choice programs.

Report: Biden Admin Made Improper Payments Totaling $236 Billion in 2023:

The Biden administration wasted $236 billion in improper payments throughout 71 federal programs in 2023, according to the Government Accountability Office.

The improper payments underscore President Donald Trump’s vow to clean up the administrative state and his support of DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) and of Elon Musk’s audit of the federal government to cut waste, fraud, and abuse.

The massive sum — three-quarters of which was reportedly overpayments – was just a portion of the federal deficit ($1.8 trillion) under the Biden administration.

NY Times Report: Elon Musk Sleeping in Federal Office Building to Save Taxpayers $1 Billion Per Day:

Elon Musk, director of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and his staff are sleeping in the federal personnel office to save taxpayers about $1 billion a day, a person familiar with the situation told the New York Times.

Sleeping in office buildings is not unusual for Musk, who deployed the same cost-saving measure at Twitter and Tesla.

"Very few in the bureaucracy actually work the weekend, so it’s like the opposing team just leaves the field for 2 days!” Musk posted on X over the weekend. “Working the weekend is a superpower.”

Exclusive — ‘Powering the Great American Comeback’: The Legend of Zeldin Comes to the EPA:

WASHINGTON — Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin is rolling out a massive five-pillar initiative for his first 100 days in the role, he told Breitbart News exclusively in a lengthy interview at EPA headquarters in downtown Washington, DC, late last week.

...We need to bring back American auto jobs. We have to make the United States the AI capital of the world. We need to pursue permitting reform that can allow more investment into the American economy. The EPA has to do its part here. Our mission here at the EPA is to protect human health and the environment. That mission absolutely can be accomplished while tapping into American innovation, creating jobs, and being accountable to the public and to Congress. We want to hit the ground running.”

Zeldin and his team are exclusively announcing this new initiative — titled “Powering the Great American Comeback” — here on Breitbart News. The initiative has five major pillars. The first is pushing for “Clean Air, Land, and Water for Every American.” The second is to “Restore American Energy Dominance,” and the third is for “Permitting Reform, Cooperative Federalism, and Cross-Agency Partnership.” The fourth pillar is to “Make the United States the Artificial Intelligence Capital of the World,” and the fifth is “Protecting and Bringing Back American Auto Jobs.”

“President Trump has been very outspoken about his desire for Americans to be able to access clean air and clean water. We want air, land, water to be cleaner, safer, healthier,” Zeldin said. “That is our goal. That is our first pillar. Conservation has long been an important principle that conservatives and Republicans have been very proud of. When I was in the House, I was part of an effort to pass out of the House and Senate the Great American Outdoors Act. Conservation is going to continue to be a highest priority of conservatives and that includes advocacy from hunters, from fisherman, and so many more who care about our environment. In the name of climate change, Democrats during the Biden administration wasted tax dollars in a way that was inexcusable, unjustifiable, and illegitimate.

President Trump: “Billions Have Been Stolen at USAID and Other Agencies – This Could be the Biggest Scandal of Them All – Democrats Can’t Hide”

US President Donald Trump confirmed on Thursday that “billions of dollars have been stolen at USAID and other agencies.”

Trump added, “This could be the biggest scandal of them all, perhaps the biggest in history. Democrats can’t hide from this one. Too big, too dirty.”

President Trump is referring to the billions of dollars allocated by USAID that never made it to people in need. other resources from USAID made it to NGOs who were organizing the invasion of America.  In many cases the aid did not even reach the intended citizens.

Trump also pointed out the waste of millions to the “left wing rag” known as Politico! And Trump asks “who else” received money from USAID?

Here is his full comment on Truth Social.

President Trump:LOOKS LIKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN STOLLEN(sp) AT USAID, AND OTHER AGENCIES, MUCH OF IT GOING TO THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA AS A “PAYOFF” FOR CREATING GOOD STORIES ABOUT THE DEMOCRATS. THE LEFT WING “RAG,” KNOWN AS “POLITICO,” SEEMS TO HAVE RECEIVED $8,000,000. Did the New York Times receive money??? Who else did??? THIS COULD BE THE BIGGEST SCANDAL OF THEM ALL, PERHAPS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY! THE DEMOCRATS CAN’T HIDE FROM THIS ONE. TOO BIG, TOO DIRTY!

Politico paid NOT $8 million but $34.3 MILLION by numerous swampy federal agencies:

The news that Politico had received $8 million from USAID came after Elon Musk and the DOGE spent the week exposing the agency for what it truly is — not “a humanitarian organization that bolsters the development of democracy around the world” but actually “a front for the CIA, a front for regime-change operations and color revolutions and propaganda efforts” both abroad and domestically.

However, a deeper dive into the nebulous relationship between Politico and the federal government reveals that the outlet didn’t just receive $8 million from USAID; it received a total of $34.3 million from various corrupt government agencies over a 10-year period.

“No such objectivity can exist when a media organization is being subsidized to the tune of $34.3 million,” says Liz Wheeler. 

When her team dug into the scandal, they found that Politico was also receiving grant money from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Agriculture, as well as from subagencies, such as the FDA, EPA, and CDC. These payments began in 2015 — “the year that Donald Trump descended that golden elevator and promised to make America great again.”

Further, the federal dollars paid to Politico “exponentially increased when the Biden regime took office.”

And suddenly, it all makes perfect sense why “every headline, every article that [Politico] published was in perfect alignment with the swamp's interests,” says Liz, pointing to the outlet’s treatment of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

Trump remarks on the importance of faith: 'Let's bring God back into our lives'

President Donald Trump delivered hopeful remarks during his Thursday speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, a decades-long bipartisan tradition, with Washington's most prominent politicos in attendance.

During the speech, Trump spoke about reigniting religion in America, reminding attendees of the Christian foundation our country was built upon.

"America is, and will always be, one nation under God," Trump said. "At every stage of the American story, our country has drawn hope and courage and inspiration from our trust in the Almighty," Trump added. "Deep in the soul of every patriot is the knowledge that God has a special plan and a glorious mission for America."

"It's His hand that guides us every single step of the way," Trump continued.

"And the things we have to do is to see the defining role that faith and prayer played in the life of our nation."

Trump reassured Christians nationwide during his speech that he will work to reinvigorate religion in America. In the first weeks of his presidency, Trump has already signed executive orders ending the weaponization of government against American Christians and has pardoned pro-life protesters who were targeted by President Joe Biden's administration.

"People of religion are going to be happy again," Trump said. "And I really believe you can't be happy without religion, without that belief. I really believe that. I just don't see how you can be."

"So, let's bring religion back," Trump continued. "Let's bring God back into our lives."

SecDef Hegseth Declares Record Army Recruiting Under Trump After Years Of Decline:

"The US Army is back! Growing future lethal warriors prepared to fight and win our nations wars!"... that's the latest message from Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

We have long documented the steady decline in recruiting among all national military branches over the last several years during the Biden administration. Just last year we observed the theme of recruiting decline as follows, also confirmed in a seeming myriad of mainstream media headlines: The US Army faces the most challenging recruiting environment in decades, if not ever, as America's Generation Z doesn't want to fight foreign wars driven by neocon warmongering politicians in Washington, the military-industrial complex, NATO, and mega-corporations.

But when Trump was elected with an overwhelming amount of the American voting public giving a clear mandate, there was a shift in this mentality. At least this is what the numbers show, according to a fresh statement by the US Army on its official X account, also shared by Hegseth...

The statement announces US Army recruiting's biggest enlistment numbers in December, a month after the election, suggesting Trump's election has injected new and clear motivation for the nation's young to join up.

Nearly 350 new recruits for the Army may not seem like a lot, but it's an immense process involving background and fitness checks, as well as a lengthy visit to "MEPS" - and the oath is finally taken paving the way to be shipped to boot camp. Often it takes months for a recruiter to get a single individual to sign on the dotted line.

Complicating the US armed forces' prior recruitment woes was a steady dose of "woke" ideology being pumped out from Biden's Department of Defense. 

Indeed, Covid was another Biden disaster where many thousands of able-bodied and healthy troops were unnecessarily processed out. This decision has since been reversed, and these unfairly discharged troops are being invited back it.

The boost in confidence under the early Trump administration is likely also due to the Republican president vowing to wind down foreign adventurism abroad. For example, there are reported plans on the book to bring the troops home from Syria, and likely Iraq, as well as hopes that Trump can oversee peace in Ukraine.

Exclusive — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Summit with President Trump: ‘The Best Meeting’ Ever Between Israeli, American Leaders:

Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, has visited Washington, DC, many times and met with many different American presidents. He has met with congressional leaders of both parties over the years. But this particular meeting with Trump — who Netanyahu said is the “greatest friend of Israel” ever to serve as U.S. president — was special for a variety of reasons. First off, it comes after Trump fought his way back to the White House, and after Netanyahu had previously fought his way back to lead Israel. It also comes after the horrors of the Hamas terrorist attack of Oct. 7, 2023, and given Trump’s decision to host Netanyahu as his first foreign leader visit of his second term in office it puts an extra emphasis on U.S. support for Israel.

In an interview on Thursday evening here in the nation’s capital, Netanyahu said that he has in all his trips to Washington never received such a warm welcome for Israel in the American government.

“Look, I’ve been here many times. The manager of the Blair House told me I’ve been there more than any other leader. So I have some perspective,” Netanyahu said. “I’ve met American presidents many times. I’ve been in Washington many times. I’ve been on the Hill many times. But I can tell you this is the best meeting an Israeli prime minister has had with an American president and the simple reason is we’ve never had a greater friend in the White House. In fact, President Trump is the greatest friend of Israel that we’ve ever had. It’s reflected also in what I saw on the Hill, not only from the leaders of the Senate but also the leaders of the House. They sense that something different is happening. So I’m obviously very gratified and very grateful to President Trump.”

More from Netanyahu’s exclusive interview with Breitbart News is forthcoming.
