A top Trump nominee is out after getting caught telling the truth. Colorado’s Kathleen Sgamma was to head the BLM. She had decades of oil and gas advocacy and helped write Project 2025. But then a 2021 memo came out where she criticized President Trump for his election rigging lies.

U.S. Department of Justice has agreed to review Tina Peters’ conviction
by • • 5 Comments
Tina Peters’ mugshot for her arrest on 3/9/2022. She was sentenced to 9 years incarceration on charges related to election tampering and is currently trying to get Trump to help her get out of prison. He can’t pardon her because she was convicted on state, and not federal charges.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), now a tool that convicted felon, sexual abuser and President Trump wields to help his friends and punish his enemies, has agreed to review former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters’ 2024 criminal conviction which led to her incarceration. The DOJ will be looking for “political bias” in her case.

Whistleblowers confirmed late Friday that convicted felon and President Trump has handed his unelected billionaire co-president Elon Musk control of the U.S. Treasury and access its sensitive payment system that disburses payments each year totaling $6 trillion. Musk, an unaccountable billionaire who is ineligible for a security clearance due to his ties to the Chinese government through his factories there, now has access to control all payments made by the U.S. government and access to every American’s personal information including Social Security numbers, bank account information, dates of birth, home address, Medicare and Medicaid payment and other personal data.
Members of Musk’s non-government “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) stormed the Treasury building, ordered the longtime Treasury employees out their jobs, and seized control of the servers and payment system.
This is an illegal act.
