“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”

Alas, someone has the guts to ask the Question of Our Age! How about this one……

DOES THE SUPREME COURT WANT MUSK COPYING TREASURY DEPT. FILES?

Lt. Colonel Alexnder Vidman was asked by CNN if he feared he would be targeted in THE ERA OF VENGEANCE. He said he would be targeted by……PUTIN and TRUMP! How about Jesus? Does Jesus have his number, and does God’s Son want bad things to happen to Vidman? It appears this is the case with Russel Vought who was gleeful about the trauma FEDERAL workers are experiencing due to DOGE and Elon Musk, who is not a FEDERAL employee. Nor is he an elected official. Did Jesus choose Musk to complete a Divine Mission, too, and thus he is EXEMPT from ALL LAWS?

If federal employees are feeling traumatized right now, Russell Vought, the new head of the office of management and budget (OMB), probably has something to do with it.

Vought is an extreme Right-wing Christian, and is BITTER that God and Jesus is not in the lives of All Americans and Voters. He founded a God-like orginization – and is anxious to PLAY GOD – too! What’s holding him back? I suspect he has a plan to replace all FEDERAL Employes who are Democrats, with Republicans – WHO LOVE JESUS! Is a list being compiled?

For a month I have been wondering about this truth……Every other adult I see at the Mall, wants all Democrats to BE PUNNISHED for a variety of reasons. What if Republican Voters wore a red hat that said……”GOD HATES YOU – NOT ME!” How about……I (LOVE) MUSK!” There will be a heart.

Two reason to destroy Democrats.

1. They do not want a balanced budget.
2. They stole the 2020 election.

If Musk takes away our Social Security and Medicare, and millions of Seniors end up wandering around in our malls, dazed, confused, and homeless, who will they blame? Why not blame fellow citizens who voted for Trump – and not Musk. Would Republicans FEAR they would be targeted for Acts of Revenge if they wore – those red hats?

I want to sue Musk, Trump, Vought, and the Supreme Court for knowingly allowing Balancing The Budget to be a RELIGIOUS MATTER which violates our Constitution, that at one time made a law that allowed Southern Slave Owners to send agents North to look for their Runaway Property. Slaves were worth a lot of money. Losing slaves could cause ECONOMIC HARDSHIP! The Right to own slaves was a hot topic in most American Churches. Just before the Civil War, Southern Men of God offered elaborate Biblical reasons why God and Jesus ALLOWS slaves owner TO MAKE MONEY OFF SLAVES against their will.

And be it further enacted, That the Circuit Courts of the United States shall from time to time enlarge the number of the commissioners, with a view to afford reasonable facilities to reclaim fugitives from labor, and to the prompt discharge of the duties imposed by this act.

In my lawsuit, I contend both Trump and Musk – KNEW there is a COVERT RELIGIOUS AGENDA lurking in the dark background – READY TO STRIKE THE ENEMY – at the right time! This is the Weaponization of The Christian Church, here in America – AND ABROAD! With VP Vance meeting with a Right-wing exremist in Germany, who is assiciated with Christian groups, we have a conspiracy to install the Skeketon of the Fugivte Slave Act – in western Cibilization.

I am related to John Fremont a Co-founder of the Aboltionist Re[blican Party. Russell Vought – hates everything Fremont, and the Forty-Eigthters stood for. Human beings are not Dollar Signs. To hurt any human – FOR MONEY – goes against the teaching of the Jesus I know. How about you?

Below is the longest sentence I ever read. It is my contention…..

ELON MUSK IS A HIRED BOUNTY HUNTER….and has already realized a profit from rifling through our private records, looking for inhuman reasons to take away thousands of jobs – FROM HONEST WORKERS!

During the confirmation hearings, Senator Bernie Sanders questioned Vought about a statement that “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.”^[12][13] The Atlantic magazine’s then staff reporter Emma Green said the questioning “flirted with the boundaries of this rule” and various Christian organizations denounced Sanders’s questioning as a violation of the No Religious Test Clause.^[13][14]

Russell Vought: Trump appointee who wants federal workers to be ‘in trauma’

The Christian nationalist head of the office of management and budget was central to the Project 2025 blueprint

Alice HermanMon 10 Feb 2025 06.00 ESTShare

If federal employees are feeling traumatized right now, Russell Vought, the new head of the office of management and budget (OMB), probably has something to do with it.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down … We want to put them in trauma.”

Vought’s words, delivered at an event hosted by his thinktank, Center for Renewing America, were striking. They reflected a view, long-espoused by Vought, that the government should be brought to heel by a sweepingly powerful executive branch.

Now the head of the office of management and budget – the powerful agency in the executive branch that oversees federal agencies and administers the budget – Vought is positioned to help Donald Trump do just that.

This will be Vought’s second time in the position: he spent six months directing the OMB at the end of the president’s first term, trying unsuccessfully to set in motion a policy recategorizing workers’ employment status in the agency to more easily fire them.

Since then, he has worked with his thinktank and the Heritage Foundation to chart a course for a second Trump term.

About the Center for Renewing America

The Center for Renewing America was founded in 2021 by Russ Vought who served in President Trump’s Cabinet as Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

As OMB Director, Vought was responsible for overseeing the implementation of the President’s policy, management, and deregulatory agendas across the Executive Branch.

Following the 2020 election, Vought saw a conservative movement which, though full of well-meaning thinkers and activists of a variety of persuasions, had failed to change America’s trajectory.

Notwithstanding policy victories on tax policy, welfare, and the right to life in the last several decades, the conservative movement’s efforts had largely failed to turn back the tide of progressive liberalism. The commanding heights of culture—the academy, the media, the entertainment industry, elite opinion, etc.—had only gotten stronger and bolder. 

Donald Trump’s election was glaring evidence of a deep dissatisfaction with both conventional politicians and the Establishment—for their lack of mettle against the Left and their refusal to address many issues that fell outside of their conventional views of conservatism.

Trump picks Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought to lead budget office

Trump named Vought, who played a central role in designing Project 2025, to head up the Office of Management and Budget in his second term.

Nov. 22, 2024, 5:40 PM PST / Updated Nov. 22, 2024, 7:31 PM PST

By Zoë Richards

President-elect Donald Trump on Friday named Russell Vought, a co-author of Project 2025 who served as a platform policy director for the Republican National Committee, as his pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget.

In a statement announcing his pick, Trump referred to Vought, who previously held the role in his first term, as “an aggressive cost cutter and deregulator who will help us implement our America First Agenda across all Agencies.”

“Russ knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State and end Weaponized Government, and he will help us return Self Governance to the People,” Trump said. “We will restore fiscal sanity to our Nation, and unleash the American People to new levels of Prosperity and Ingenuity.”

Vought responded to Trump’s nomination in a post to X on Friday night, saying, “Thank you @realDonaldTrump! There is unfinished business on behalf of the American people, and it’s an honor of a lifetime to get the call again.”

In the chapter Vought authored for conservative blueprint Project 2025, he argued the OMB director “should present a fiscal goal to the President early in the budget development process to address the federal government’s fiscal irresponsibility.”

“Though some mistakenly regard it as a mere paper-pushing exercise, the President’s budget is in fact a powerful mechanism for setting and enforcing public policy at federal agencies,” he wrote.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson posted on X this week, Vought advocated for the president taking greater control over government agencies, saying Trump “has to move executively as fast and as aggressively as possible.”

“We have to solve the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy and have the president take control of the executive branch,” Vought said. “There may be different strategies with each one of them, about how you dismantle them, but as an administration, the whole notion of an independent agency should be thrown out.”

Though Trump and many of his allies distanced themselves from Project 2025 — an initiative that includes policy proposals led by the right-leaning think tank Heritage Foundation and other conservative groups for a Republican administration — on the campaign trail, many people associated with the agenda have been tapped for positions in the incoming Trump administration. Some of those named have included Tom Homan as border czar, Brendan Carr as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission and John Ratcliffe as CIA director.

If he is confirmed by the Senate, Vought will oversee budget and the execution of Trump’s policies across executive departments and agencies.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s expected incoming deputy chief of staff, called Vought a “transformative pick” for the budget office.

“Russ Vought has been the guy for the last four years who’s been developing the plan to take down the deep state,” Miller said during a Fox News interview that aired Friday night. “That’s Russ, and he’s going to be right there at OMB to execute that plan. This is, this is really incredible stuff.”

Vought previously served as director of the Office of Management during Trump’s first term. He assumed the role after working as deputy director and acting director of that office before his Senate confirmation in July 2020.

Trump also announced a flurry other key Cabinet picks on Friday night.

He named former NFL player and Texas state Rep. Scott Turner as his nominee for housing and urban development secretary and Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, R-Ore., to serve as labor secretary. Trump also nominated surgeon Marty Makary as commissioner for the Food and Drug Administration and said that he would select former Rep. Dave Weldon, R-Fla., as his nominee to serve as director of the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention alongside a slew of other picks.

Trump also said that Sebastian Gorka, a former aide, would serve as deputy assistant and senior director for counterterrorism. Gorka previously served as a national security aide for Trump in 2017, a role that he held for less than a year. He faced criticism after donning the medal of the allegedly Nazi-linked Hungarian group Vitezi Rend to Trump’s inaugural ball in 2017.

Passed on September 18, 1850 by Congress, The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 was part of the Compromise of 1850.  The act required that slaves be returned to their owners, even if they were in a free state.  The act also made the federal government responsible for finding, returning, and trying escaped slaves.

The person or persons authorized to execute the process to be issued by such commissioner for the arrest and detention of fugitives from service or labor as aforesaid, shall also be entitled to a fee of five dollars each for each person he or they may arrest, and take before any commissioner as aforesaid, at the instance and request of such claimant, with such other fees as may be deemed reasonable by such commissioner for such other additional services as may be necessarily performed by him or them; such as attending at the examination, keeping the fugitive in custody, and providing him with food and lodging during his detention, and until the final determination of such commissioners; and, in general, for performing such other duties as may be required by such claimant, his or her attorney or agent, or commissioner in the premises, such fees to be made up in conformity with the fees usually charged by the officers of the courts of justice within the proper district or county, as near as may be practicable, and paid by such claimants, their agents or attorneys, whether such supposed fugitives from service or labor be ordered to be delivered to such claimant by the final determination of such commissioner or not.

Section 9

And be it further enacted, That, upon affidavit made by the claimant of such fugitive, his agent or attorney, after such certificate has been issued, that he has reason to apprehend that such fugitive will he rescued by force from his or their possession before he can be taken beyond the limits of the State in which the arrest is made, it shall be the duty of the officer making the arrest to retain such fugitive in his custody, and to remove him to the State whence he fled, and there to deliver him to said claimant, his agent, or attorney.
