First, World Leaders Complain, Then They Do What Trump Wants

Even before Trump took office, he began laying out a long list of demands for both U.S. allies and adversaries—demands he believed would ultimately benefit American taxpayers. Despite facing resistance, with many critics calling him “Hitler,” the world is slowly falling in line with his requests.
Canada backed down from an energy export surcharge threatened against the U.S., Mexico rounded up cartel members and handed them over to U.S. authorities, Zelensky agreed to a ceasefire, and Europe is ramping up its defense spending, assuming the financial responsibility for Ukraine’s defense. Panama withdrew from the Belt and Road Initiative and then sold key assets to BlackRock, effectively neutralizing the Chinese threat to the Panama Canal.
Canada’s Retreat from Export Surcharge: Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced that he was suspending the 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S., which had been imposed earlier that week. This decision followed a conversation with U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, during which they agreed to meet in Washington to discuss a renewed United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement ahead of President Trump’s April 2 tariff deadline
While Canada is matching U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar, it has also agreed to a $1.3 billion investment in enhancing border security. This includes joint efforts with U.S. authorities to combat transnational criminal activities, particularly fentanyl trafficking.
Mexico’s Cooperation on Cartel Crackdown: The Mexican government conducted a large-scale operation to round up cartel members, directly handing over key figures to U.S. authorities for prosecution. This move came after considerable pressure from Washington, where Trump demanded that Mexico take a stronger stance on drug cartels and border security. Mexico’s actions were perceived as a necessary step to maintain diplomatic ties with the U.S. and avoid any re-escalation of trade barriers or tariffs.
Ukraine’s Agreement to a Ceasefire: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agreed to a 30-day ceasefire with Russia, a move strongly supported by the United States. Trump had advocated for a ceasefire to push both Ukraine and Russia toward negotiations. Despite initial resistance from Ukrainian leadership to compromise on territorial issues, Zelenskyy ultimately agreed, seeing the potential benefits in securing continued U.S. military and financial support.
Europe’s Increased Defense Spending: European military and political leaders are holding high-level talks this week to discuss rearming the continent and increasing aid for Ukraine, amid concerns over a less engaged United States. Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans emphasized the urgency of fortifying Europe’s security, noting that Europe can no longer rely on U.S. protection. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for a significant boost in defense spending, proposing an $873 billion plan to rearm Europe and support Ukraine, including relaxing fiscal rules and increasing defense spending by 1.5% of GDP annually for the next four years.
Europe Assuming Ukraine Defense Responsibility: France’s President Emmanuel Macron took decisive steps toward forming a European peacekeeping force for Ukraine. Macron’s meeting in Paris with military leaders from over 30 nations, including European countries, Japan, and Canada. While the media may frame this as either a win for globalism or a loss of power for the U.S., Europe is essentially doing what Trump has advocated for all along: he wants America out of Ukraine and expects Europe to address its own security concerns—something it has neglected to do for the past 80 years.
Panama’s Withdrawal from the Belt and Road Initiative: In 2025, Panama has withdrawn from China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which had initially been signed in 2017 under pressure from Beijing. This decision was influenced by U.S. demands for countries to limit Chinese influence in critical infrastructure, particularly concerning strategic assets like the Panama Canal. Panama also reached an agreement to sell a controlling stake in its largest ports to BlackRock, an American investment firm. This sale further aligns Panama with U.S. interests, as it reduces China’s presence and strengthens the U.S. economic influence in the region. The move was seen as a direct response to Trump’s call for Latin American nations to reduce reliance on China and prioritize U.S. partnerships, reflecting Panama’s compliance with U.S. demands to safeguard the Panama Canal from Chinese control.
The international response to President Trump’s demands highlights a trend where countries, after initial resistance or criticism, eventually agree to ‘America First.
MEDIA WHIRLWIND COMES FOR THE NY TIMES: Editorial Board Members Told to Take New Positions or Take a Buyout
Mike LaChance, Gateway Pundit, Mar. 12, 2025

Times are tough all over for the liberal media. CNN and MSNBC have lost a painful amount of their already small audiences, the Washington Post is retooling their approach because people stopped reading, and now the same whirlwind has reached the New York Times.
The liberal paper is telling members of their editorial board to take new positions at the paper, or take a buyout, and a walk, presumably.
Over the last eight years, vast swaths of the American media torpedoed whatever credibility they had left in their pursuit of Trump. They pushed countless lies and conspiracy theories and now the chickens are coming home to roost.
The New York Post reports:
NY Times tells editorial board writers: Accept new position or take buyout
The New York Times is reshuffling its operations at the opinion section — reducing the frequency of its editorials while shrinking its roster of editorial board writers, according to a report.
The Gray Lady has reportedly offered several of its editorial board members new jobs within the opinion section or buyout packages if they choose to leave the company.
Mara Gay (who is frequently seen on left-leaning news channel MSNBC), Brent Staples, Jesse Wegman and Farah Stockman are editorial board members who were given the option of accepting a buyout, the news site Semafor reported on Monday.
“Publishing fewer, higher-quality editorials, the thesis goes, will lead to more audience attention,” according to the Semafor report.
The Times is also mulling possible changes to its endorsement policy, including backing candidates in races across the country, according to Semafor.

Memorandum to Trump
Date: Feb 9, 2025 Document ID:
Author: Steven M. Greer, MD 28272
Memorandum
From: Steven M. Greer, MD – Director of The Disclosure Project.
To: President Donald J. Trump
Re: The UFO/UAP subject
Since the 1950s, the UFO/UAP subject has been handled by a corrupt deep state transnational
organization whose power has grown to a level that it is an imminent threat to national security and
international peace and security.
This organization is a hybrid of unconstitutional deep state and government compartmented operations
and corporate special projects. It has reverse-engineered non-human intelligence (NHI) craft and is
operating man-made advanced technologies at parity with NHI technologies.
These human technologies are currently being used in a number of criminal operations including assassinations, abductions, human/drug/ weapons trafficking, embezzlement of US government funds, acts of treason and have the capability to simulate a fake alien attack at any moment.
I have debriefed over 700 government and corporate whistleblowers over the past 35 years and have
documented their information in the Briefing Document provided to your staff.
The following Executive Orders are urgently needed.
1. Explicit whistleblower protection specifying both legal amnesty and personal security.
2. An Executive Order authorizing a TS-SCI SAP with significant funding currently configured under
law enforcement to stand down these illegal operations and especially the illegal use of electro-
magnetic pulse weapons (EMP) currently being used against NHI craft as these actions imperil
the future of humanity
3. An Executive Order requiring all such UFO/UAP operations to be fully disclosed within 6 months
or those responsible will be vigorously prosecuted.
4. An Executive Order to authorize an advanced diplomatic team to make peaceful contact with
the NHI civilizations.
5. An Executive Order authorizing the review and release of Advanced Technology (AT) held by this
criminal organization that would create total energy independence for the US and would begin a
new energy economy with which the US would lead the world economically.
Please feel free to contact me at any time. I am the world’s leading expert on this subject. There is not a
distant second. I will provide any assistance, advice and evidence that you and your administration
require.
Respectfully yours,
Steven M. Greer MD
Tulsi Gabbard Revokes Security Clearances From 51 ‘Spies Who Lied,’ Blinken, Letitia James and Deep State Lawyers – Daily Brief No Longer Provided to Biden

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard revoked security clearances from the 51 ‘spies who lied,’ several Biden-era officials and Deep State lawyers.
Joe Biden is also no longer receiving his Daily Brief.
Last month, President Trump stripped the security clearances of at least eight corrupt ‘antagonists’ who worked for Biden or targeted him for ruin over the last several years:
Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken
Former NatSec Advisor Jake Sullivan
New York Attorney General Letitia James
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg
Biden’s Deputy AG Lisa Monaco
Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann
Deep State lawyer Mark Zaid
Norm Eisen – the man behind all the lawfare against Trump
On Monday, Tulsi Gabbard said that, on Trump’s orders, she had revoked all of their security clearances.
Per @POTUS directive, I have revoked security clearances and barred access to classified information for Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, Lisa Monaco, Mark Zaid, Norman Eisen, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, and Andrew Weissman, along with the 51 signers of the Hunter Biden…

In 2020, 51 top intel officials lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell to interfere in the election.
The intel leaders all lied. They knew it was a lie. Joe Biden knew it was a lie. The media knew this was a lie.
The Biden Campaign and then-Secretary of State Tony Blinken organized the massive lie.
Obama Judge Rules DOGE Wielding ‘Unprecedented’ Power, Orders Release of Records – Former Gorsuch Clerk Mike Davis Weighs In
Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit, Mar. 11, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/obama-judge-rules-doge-wielding-unprecedented-power-orders/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1706)
A federal judge on Monday said DOGE is wielding ‘unprecedented’ power and ordered the release of the operation’s records.
“A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency is wielding so much power that its records will likely have to be opened to the public under federal law,” Politico reported.
“U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said the vast and “unprecedented” authority of DOGE, formally known as the U.S. Digital Service, combined with its “unusual secrecy” warrant the urgent release of its internal documents under the Freedom of Information Act,” Politico reported.
Watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed three Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA) with the OMB and DOGE seeking documents.
US District Judge Christopher Cooper, an Obama appointee, agreed with a plaintiff suing DOGE and said Musk’s operation is covered by FOIA.
“The Court will deny the motion for a preliminary injunction directing OMB and USDS to process the three requests at issue by March 10, 2025. However, finding that CREW has established a likelihood of success on the merits of its argument that USDS is subject to FOIA and that indefinite delay in the release of the requested USDS records would cause CREW and the public irreparable harm, the Court will grant CREW’s request for expedited processing of the USDS request, consistent with how OMB is presently treating the other two requests,” the judge wrote in a 37-page opinion. …
Former Gorsuch clerk and founder the Article III Project, Mike Davis blasted the Obama judge for his ruling during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room.
“Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which is CREW, or a left-wing radical group that pretends like it’s a government watch dog ran to a DC Obama activist judge, Chris Cooper, and they got an injunction telling the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE that they’re subject to FOIA and they have to turn over these records. This ruling is clearly wrong. It’s clearly illegal. FOIA applies to executive branch agencies that have statutory power to administer programs,” Mike Davis told Bannon.
“That does not apply to DOGE. Judges are not required to turn over and make public their internal deliberations, their communications with their law clerks and secretaries and other judges and staff. Members of Congress are not required to turn over their internal deliberations, their conversations with their staff and their colleagues. The President of the United States and his staff are also not required to turn over and make public their internal communications and their discussions with their colleagues. That FOIA does not apply to them. DOGE reports it’s in the executive office of the President, Elon Musk and the DOGE team report to the White House Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and they advise the President. They don’t have statutory administrative functions that would subject them to the to FOIA,” he said.
Mike Davis said the ruling is clearly wrong.
This ruling is clearly wrong. Even if FOIA somehow applies to DOGE, that would probably violate Article II of the Constitution because the founders understood that the executive branch, the President, should be able to operate confidentially on behalf of the American people. When you’re getting advice from your advisors, you don’t want that advice publicly air because it chills the President of the United States’ ability to get the best advice for his advisors if they know it’s going to get reported in the Washington Post,” Davis said.
Corrupt Utah Judge Freed Fire Chief Charged with Child Exploitation — Now Both Arrested in Shocking Child Exploitation and Illicit Relationship Scandal
Jim Hᴏft, Gateway Pundit, Mar. 12, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/utah-judge-freed-fire-chief-charged-child-exploitation/)
Two high-profile Box Elder County officials—former Tremonton Fire Department Chief Ned Brady Hansen and First District Justice Court Judge Kevin Christensen—are now behind bars, facing a slew of felony charges tied to the sexual exploitation of children.
Hansen, who was first arrested in January on suspicion of child sex crimes, had been released on bail—thanks to a questionable ruling by none other than Judge Christensen.
Now, new evidence uncovered by the FBI has led to Hansen’s rearrest on March 11, 2025, and has blown the lid off a sickening relationship between the two men.
Christensen, 64, was arrested on March 6 and faces six felony counts, including attempted exploitation of a minor, enticing a minor, and dealing in materials harmful to a minor, The Herald Journal reported.

Serina Baker-Hill, 55, a Detroit-based CBP bigwig overseeing the Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering, thought she could pull a fast one on hardworking American taxpayers, according to the press release.
According to a freshly unsealed federal complaint, Baker-Hill exploited a federal disaster declaration after floods hit Michigan in August 2023. She applied for FEMA aid, claiming her basement was damaged and that she couldn’t live in her home while repairs were underway.
FEMA, trusting her word, handed over cash for home repairs and two months of rental assistance to cover temporary housing costs.
However, she didn’t use a dime of that money for rent, hotels, or utilities.
Bank records expose her scheme—she pocketed the funds while cozying up in her supposedly “unlivable” home.
Video surveillance even caught her and her husband living there like nothing was wrong, and utility records show no drop-off consistent with an empty house.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner Rejects Asheville’s $225M Disaster Relief Request After Shocking DEI Clause Exposed
Jim Hᴏft, Gateway Pundit, Mar. 12, 2025
(https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/hud-secretary-scott-turner-rejects-ashevilles-225m-disaster/)
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner has decisively rejected Asheville, North Carolina’s outrageous $225 million disaster relief request.
The reason? A jaw-dropping Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) clause buried deep in the city’s draft action plan — a clause that prioritizes woke ideology over the urgent needs of everyday Americans still reeling from Hurricane Helene’s devastation six months ago.
In an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Secretary Turner condemned the city’s initial draft action plan for prioritizing assistance based on race and gender identity rather than need.
“This draft action plan that the city of Asheville presented at first has elements of DEI, and that is not acceptable to HUD,” Turner told Bartiromo.“It’s not acceptable to the President, according to his executive order to get rid of all DEI. We’re working with the city of Asheville. They have been very responsive to make sure that their upcoming draft action plan is in compliance with HUD and how we give funds out according to HUD’s principles.”

“We’re happy to be here. They’re working with us, and we’re looking forward to helping the people of Asheville recover from this disaster.”
