    She is a political activist, conspiracy theorist and Internet personality. Apparently calling the shots on who gets fired or not.

    The White House fired at least three senior aides on the National Security Council staff Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter, in an apparent effort to purge those with foreign policy views deemed counter to President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda.

    The move comes a day after the far-right activist Laura Loomer visited the Oval Office and urged Trump to remove a number of staffers, a push first reported by the New York Times. Axios reported earlier on the firings.

    During her meeting with Trump, Loomer went over a list of up to 10 names of NSC aides who should be dismissed, according to two people. National security adviser Michael Waltz was in the meeting and tried to defend his staff as Loomer attacked them in detail, according to two people.

    “It was incredibly uncomfortable,” the person said.

    The mid-terms are being served up nicely each and everyday. Why even Claribell might have a shot at getting elected in 18 months.

    Going to take decades to fix moronic decisions. Wonder when the conned will have a come to Jesus moment. Damn Bernie had better decision making and he was dead.

    Dear fellow old people, you have been misled…

    Go Gators, beat Auburn!

    Why is our POTUS listening to crackpots? Probably because under the orange makeup he is one.

    I laughed out loud the first time a heard about that theory because the only publically people talking about it were Rosie O'Donnell and Jessie Ventura.

    The more I looked into it the more it seemed that those hijackers had too many convenient breaks go their way. But to answer your question, no, I do not think it was an inside job. But I do think we have rogue elements inside our agencies. That is one big why we need term limits for Senators and House members.

    “Trump acknowledged that Loomer “recommended certain people for jobs.”

    “Laura Loomer is a very good patriot. She is a very strong person,” said Trump, who described his talks with the far-right activist as “constructive.”

    Worked for Haugh back in '18 when he was a one star and seen as an up and coming GO and he was tasked with one of Trump's DoD's priorities. He was selected for his second and third star in the first Trump Admin. This makes no sense.
