I made a video of the report on the firing of officials – after Laura Loomer met with our President in the Oval office! The news guy said the stock market was down 1,300. Five minutes after this segment, it was down 1,500. Is it possible many investors watch MSNBC and became very alarmed – like me?.
At 9:30 AM on Apri; 4, 2025, I googled Wendy Noble and was shocked to see her website was taken down. However, I found the photograph of Wendy with a 911 Victim. WOW! Loomer believes 911 was an inside job. Does President Trump? If he does, we are in deep shit. How many enemy agents put together teams on the best way to exploit Loomer and Her Loon? If I can find PROOF Trump is mentally unstable – anyone can!
Gen. Timothy Haugh was let go along with civilian deputy Wendy Noble one day after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with President Donald Trump and raised concerns about staff loyalty. It’s not clear if the firings were connected. I have just began – to find – THE PROOF!

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The Trump administration fired the director of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command on Thursday, officials confirmed to The Washington Post.
Gen. Timothy Haugh was let go along with civilian deputy Wendy Noble one day after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with President Donald Trump and raised concerns about staff loyalty. It’s not clear if the firings were connected.
“Always we’re letting go of people,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One Thursday afternoon. “People that we don’t like or people that we don’t think can do the job or people that may have loyalties to somebody else.”auto640x360, 1041kbps854x480, 1241kbps1280x720, 3511kbps0.25×0.5xnormal1.5x2x

Several members of the National Security Council were also fired after Trump met with Loomer, including Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence; Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs; and David Feith, a senior director for technology and national security.
“It’s an honor, President Trump. Thank you. I will always have your back,” Loomer wrote on X Thursday. “I will be continuing my vetting audit of the Trump administration and will continue submitting my findings to President Trump for review. I’ve always said there is a vetting crisis, and I’m grateful President Trump acted on my concerns and investigative findings. I will keep working hard to support him and his administration. Loyalty matters. And so does vetting!”

Trump described Loomer to reporters as “a very good patriot,” adding that “she makes recommendations of things and people, and sometimes I listen to those recommendations.”
The top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committee, Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Jim Hines, denounced the firing of Haugh.
“It is astonishing that President Trump would fire the nonpartisan leader of the NSA while still failing to hold any member of his team accountable for leaking classified information on Signal – even as he apparently takes staffing direction from a discredited conspiracy theorist in the Oval Office,” Warner posted on Bluesky.
Himes said in a statement on X that “the Intelligence Committee and the American people need an immediate explanation for this decision, which makes all of us less safe.”

Haugh was one of the intelligence officials questioned on Capitol Hill in March after Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic, was inadvertently added to a group chat discussing military strikes on terrorist targets in Yemen.
Haugh had led both the NSA and Cyber Command since 2023. Both departments play leading roles in the nation’s cybersecurity. The NSA also supports the military and other national security agencies by collecting and analyzing a vast amount of data and information globally.

United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is one of the eleven unified combatant commands of the United States Department of Defense (DoD). It unifies the direction of cyberspace operations, strengthens DoD cyberspace capabilities, and integrates and bolsters DoD’s cyber expertise which focus on securing cyberspace.[4]
USCYBERCOM was established as a Sub-Unified command under U.S. Strategic Command at the direction of Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on 23 June 2009[5] at the National Security Agency (NSA) headquarters in Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. It cooperates with NSA networks and has been concurrently headed by the director of the National Security Agency since its inception.[6] While originally created with a defensive mission in mind, it has increasingly been viewed as an offensive force.[6] On 18 August 2017, it was announced that USCYBERCOM would be elevated to the status of a full and independent unified combatant command.[7] On 23 May 2023, it was announced that President Biden nominated Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh to the Senate to be the next USCYBERCOM Commander.[8]
Mission statement
[edit]
According to the US Department of Defense (DoD):
USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries.[9][10]
The text “9ec4c12949a4f31474f299058ce2b22a”, located in the command’s emblem, is the MD5 hash of their mission statement.[10]
The command is charged with pulling together existing cyberspace resources, creating synergies and synchronizing war-fighting effects to defend the information security environment. USCYBERCOM is tasked with centralizing command of cyberspace operations, strengthening DoD cyberspace capabilities, and integrating and bolstering DoD’s cyber expertise.[11][12]
Organizational structure
[edit]
Cyber teams
[edit]
Since 2015, the U.S. Cyber Command added 133 new cyber teams.[13] The breakdown was:
- Thirteen National Mission Teams to defend against broad cyberattacks
- Sixty-eight Cyber Protection Teams to defend priority DoD networks and systems against priority threats
- Twenty-seven Combat Mission Teams to provide integrated cyberspace attacks in support of operational plans and contingency operations
- Twenty-five Cyber Support Teams to provide analytic and planning support to the national mission and combat mission teams.

White House fires multiple administration officials after president meets with far-right activist Laura Loomer

The White House has fired multiple administration officials, including at least four National Security Council staffers, three sources familiar with the move told CNN.
The firings came after Laura Loomer, the far-right activist who once claimed 9/11 was an inside job, urged President Donald Trump during a Wednesday meeting to get rid of several members of his National Security Council staff, including his principal deputy national security adviser, claiming that they are disloyal.
Who is Laura Loomer, the right-wing activist in Trump’s inner circle?

One of the sources said Loomer had compiled a list of roughly a dozen names, and that the subsequent firings were a direct result of the meeting with Loomer, who was an influential voice around Trump during his 2024 campaign last fall.

Trump defended letting people go when talking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. “Always, we’re going to let go of people – people that we don’t like, or people that we don’t think can do the job, or people that may have loyalties to someone else,” Trump said. But he said Loomer was not involved in Wednesday’s firings, calling her “a very good patriot.”
The Trump administration also fired the director and deputy director of the National Security Agency, CNN reported late Thursday.
Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong was not among those who had been dismissed on Wednesday. However, one White House official speculated to CNN Thursday that Wong could be out as soon as later that day, though a final decision had not been made.
Wong was one of the advisers specifically targeted by Loomer, who publicly questioned his loyalty to Trump and criticized him privately as a “Never Trumper.”

One of the sources speculated that National Security Adviser Michael Waltz may have been reluctant to fire Wong because he has been embroiled in the controversy surrounding the leak of controversial Signal messages related to military strikes on Yemen that Waltz and his team have been under fire for initiating.

The four officials fired include Brian Walsh, a director for intelligence and a former top staffer for now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the Senate Intelligence Committee; Thomas Boodry, a senior director for legislative affairs who previously served as Waltz’s legislative director in Congress; David Feith, a senior director overseeing technology and national security who served in the State Department during Trump’s first administration; and Maggie Dougherty, senior director for international organizations.
“NSC doesn’t comment on personnel matters,” NSC spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement to CNN.
All of the officials who were fired went through the same vetting process in the last several months — which included questions about loyalty to Trump’s agenda — that was run by the now-director of the Presidential Personnel Office, Sergio Gor.
Trump praised Loomer Thursday, saying that while she has recommended firing people in the past, “yesterday, she recommended some people for jobs.”
“She is a very strong person, and I saw her yesterday for a little while and she has her, she makes recommendations of things and people,” Trump said aboard Air Force One. “And sometimes I listen to those recommendations, like I do with everybody, I listen to everybody, and then I make a decision.”
Loomer didn’t offer details on the meeting but said she’d “continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting.”
“Out of respect for President Trump and the privacy of the Oval Office, I’m going to decline on divulging any details about my Oval Office meeting with President Trump,” Loomer told CNN earlier Thursday. “It was an honor to meet with President Trump and present him with my findings, I will continue working hard to support his agenda, and I will continue reiterating the importance of strong vetting, for the sake of protecting the President and our national security.”
The Oval Office meeting with Loomer, which was first reported by The New York Times, took place as the president and his economic team were preparing the tariff announcement in the Rose Garden.
Waltz had been in the Oval Office for other meetings when Loomer arrived for an audience with Trump and stayed as the president met with Loomer.
It came as Waltz has faced increased criticism from Trump administration officials and those close to the president for creating the Signal chain where sensitive information regarding an impending US attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen was shared. While Trump has publicly said he is standing by Waltz, and top White House officials insist he has no plans to fire him, multiple sources familiar with behind-the-scenes conversations tell CNN that Trump is waiting to see how it all plays out.
Waltz traveled with Trump to Miami on Thursday ahead of the LIV Golf tournament at the president’s Doral club, two sources familiar with his schedule said, including departing the White House with the president on Marine One.
Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff who was among the advisers who worked to control Loomer’s access to Trump during the campaign, was present for the Wednesday meeting, sources familiar with the meeting said. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who was seen greeting Loomer before she left the White House campus, was in the meeting for part of it. Communications Director Steven Cheung and Vice President JD Vance also attended, sources said.
GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, a fierce defender of Trump who was also present for the meeting, brought a list of staff concerns to discuss with the president, one source told CNN. However, he was not initially scheduled to meet with the president alongside Loomer.
It was unclear when the Loomer meeting was placed on the schedule, but one aide said the presence of Wiles and Gor underscored that it was a sanctioned meeting. Gor, who is seen as one of the president’s most loyal aides, has been among the advisers who has been fielding complaints from MAGA world about Waltz.
This is not the first time that an activist has been linked to the firing of national security officials, underscoring the influence those voices hold in Trump’s second administration.
Christopher Rufo, an activist, published internal logs that showed staffers allegedly exchanging explicit messages in National Security Agency chat rooms; Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard within days announced that she had fired people over the revelations. Rufo was known for amplifying false allegations that Haitian immigrants were eating residents’ house pets in Ohio during the campaign by announcing a $5,000 bounty for evidence of the claims that it was happening in Springfield in a post on X that was viewed more than 4.6 million times.
After publication, Rufo said that “I said the opposite,” pointing CNN to a blog post he wrote claiming to have found evidence that “some migrants in Ohio appear to have been ‘eating the cats,’ though not exactly in the manner [then-candidate Donald] Trump described” in a presidential debate. He claimed to have found evidence that African migrants in Dayton, Ohio, had barbecued a cat.
“If this occurred in Dayton, where the migrant population is relatively small, it could be going on down the road in Springfield, where it is relatively much larger,” Rufo wrote in the 2024 blog post.
Loomer, who twice ran for Congress unsuccessfully in Florida, has made a career out of courting controversy.
Rising out of the radical right-wing online ecosystem, she has regularly tested the willingness of internet companies to enforce their terms of service. She once described herself as a “proud Islamophobe” and tweeted in 2018 that “someone needs to create a non Islamic form of Uber or Lyft because I never want to support another Islamic immigrant driver.” She was eventually banned from Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, now known as X. (Loomer told CNN last fall she is not “anti-Muslim.”)
Loomer — who once posted a video on social media claiming that the attack on the World Trade Center towers was an “inside job” — appeared with Trump last fall when he mingled with firefighters to observe the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack.
During the campaign, Loomer often appeared at events where Trump was speaking and her bombastic social media posts sometimes appeared to preview Trump’s next line of attack. Some saw it as no coincidence that during his debate with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump talked about immigrants “eating the pets” of Ohioans, referencing the rumor circulated online, including by Loomer, who was seen deboarding Trump’s private plane ahead of the debate.
Loomer also said during the campaign that if Harris, who is half Indian, won, “the White House will smell like curry & White House speeches will be facilitated via a call center.”
This story has been updated with additional developments, comments from President Donald Trump, additional context surrounding claims that migrants were eating pets in Ohio and to clarify the timing of Lutnick’s greeting with Loomer at the White House on Wednesday.
