On Sunday Trump urged both Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz to cooperate with the federal effort to apprehend criminal illegal aliens.

The United States has gathered more firepower in the Middle East than we have ever seen before.  It exceeds anything that we witnessed during Operation Desert Storm, it exceeds anything that we witnessed during the war in Afghanistan, and it exceeds anything that we witnessed during the war in Iraq.  That doesn’t necessarily mean that war is imminent.  President Trump could ultimately decide not to pull the trigger.  But without a doubt, at this moment we are exceedingly close to a cataclysmic showdown in the Middle East. It is being reported that the USS Abraham Lincoln has officially arrived in the Middle East… The aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and its three accompanying warships have sailed into the Middle East region, providing President Trump additional military firepower if he decides to strike Iran. The USS Abraham Lincoln, which is equipped with Mk 57 Mod3 Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile launchers and can carry squadrons of bombers and early warning planes, and its strike group are in the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) area, which encompasses the Middle East region, the command confirmed Monday. The addition of the carrier in the region comes as Trump warned Thursday that the U.S. is sending an “armada” toward Iran following nationwide protests in the country, where thousands of demonstrators have been killed by authorities. Some of us have been carefully tracking the movements of the USS Abraham Lincoln in recent days. Once the protests in Iran got really crazy, this carrier was redeployed from the Indian Ocean, and it has a maximum capacity of 90 aircraft… The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is hauling five squadrons of strike fighters, with a max capacity of 90 aircraft. These include F/A-18 Super Hornets, F-35 Lightning II stealth fighters and EA-18G Growler radar jammers — along with Osprey tilt-rotor transports and MH-60S Seahawk helicopters. Of course the USS Abraham Lincoln is not traveling alone. It is being accompanied by three guided-missile destroyers that are “fully loaded with Tomahawk cruise missiles”… The Lincoln is not alone; it hunts with a wolfpack. It is flanked by three guided-missile destroyers: USS Spruance, USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., and USS Michael Murphy. These ships are fully loaded with Tomahawk cruise missiles, ready for immediate launch orders. This battle group is just the latest addition to the growing amount of firepower that the U.S. has accumulated in the region. If the U.S. attacks Iran, the Iranians have already warned that the USS Abraham Lincoln will be a primary target. In fact, the Iranians just released a shocking video that simulates what it would look like if an Iranian ballistic missile were to destroy the carrier… Iran’s state-run Islamic Ideology Dissemination Organization has released a propaganda video that purports to simulate how Iran’s Fattah ballistic missile could split the USS Abraham Lincoln in two in a potential conflict with the US, as the carrier strike group enters Mideast. They are openly threatening to sink the Abraham Lincoln. And it appears that they have the ability to do that. In addition to the various missiles that they possess, the Iranians could also potentially use drones… Cameron Chell, CEO and co-founder of Draganfly, warned that Iran’s growing reliance on low-cost unmanned systems poses a credible danger to high-value U.S. naval assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group. “Iran’s drone capabilities are worth well into the tens of millions of dollars,” Chell told Fox News Digital. “By pairing low-cost warheads with inexpensive delivery platforms, essentially remotely piloted aircraft, Iran has developed an effective asymmetric threat against highly sophisticated military systems.” One drone would not be a problem for the Abraham Lincoln. But if the Iranians sent hundreds of drones at the Abraham Lincoln all at once, the ship’s defenses could be overwhelmed… Chell said Iran can launch large numbers of relatively unsophisticated drones directly at naval vessels, creating saturation attacks that could overwhelm traditional defenses. “If hundreds are launched in a short period of time, some are almost certain to get through,” Chell said. “Modern defense systems were not originally designed to counter that kind of saturation attack. For U.S. surface vessels operating near Iran, warships are prime targets.” In addition to missiles and drones, the Iranians also possess large numbers of small attack vessels. According to Defense News, many of them have now been deployed “across the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman”… Iran has launched its most visible naval mobilization in years across the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman, deploying a dense concentration of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vessels as a U.S. carrier strike group advances toward the region. Satellite imagery, maritime tracking data and regional security reporting indicate that Tehran is signaling readiness for confrontation at the world’s most critical energy chokepoint, even as both sides warn of the danger of miscalculation. Western defense analysts say the IRGC Navy has surged Iranian-flagged ships linked to the Guards into key waterways, including waters adjacent to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and along the approaches to the Strait of Hormuz. The deployments follow a week of Iranian missile drills involving both ballistic and cruise systems, and come amid sharp rhetoric from senior commanders declaring that Iranian forces are “more ready than ever.” During the 12-Day War, the Iranians did not hit us with everything that they have got. This time around, it would be completely different. On Saturday, General Mohammad Pakpour warned that Iran has its “finger on the trigger”… Iran’s Revolutionary Guard commander on Saturday said the country has its “finger on the trigger” at the U.S. after President Trump said an “armada” will head toward the Middle East. “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard and dear Iran stand more ready than ever, finger on the trigger, to execute the orders and directives of the Commander-in-Chief,” Gen. Mohammad Pakpour said according to Nournews, a news outlet with ties to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. And one Iranian official just told Reuters that if Iran is attacked “we will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this”… Iranian officials said over the weekend that they are prepared to retaliate if attacked by the US. Speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, an official said: ‘This military ‌build-up – we hope it is ‌not intended for real confrontation – but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran.’ He then delivered a warning to Washington, adding: ‘This time we will treat any attack – limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever they call it – as an all-out war against us, and we will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this.’ What did he mean by “hardest way possible”? Was he suggesting that Iran could actually use unconventional weapons? Let’s hope not. As I write this, even the slightest miscalculation could set the entire region ablaze. At this stage, there is even speculation that Iran could launch some sort of a preemptive strike… Israeli security officials describe Iran as potentially operating under a “use it or lose it” doctrine. Fearing that a sudden U.S. “decapitation strike” could neutralize its missile forces before they are launched, Iranian commanders may be weighing an early salvo against Israel—the United States’ closest regional ally—to ensure retaliation capability. If the Iranians believe that an attack is inevitable, they may just pull the trigger first. And Hezbollah is telling us that they will join the fight if war breaks out… Hezbollah has warned that its enemies will ‘taste the bitterest forms of death’ if Donald Trump strikes its backer, Iran. Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi paramilitary group with links to the better-known Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, issued the fiery warning on Sunday, calling on its fighters to prepare for a possible ‘total war’. Abu Hussein al‑Hamidawi, the group’s chief, claimed the ‘forces of darkness’ are gathering to destroy Iran, adding: ‘We affirm to the enemies that war against the [Islamic] Republic will not be a walk in the park. ‘But rather, you will taste the bitterest forms of death, and nothing will remain of you in our region.’ Speaking of Hezbollah, the IDF just conducted more than 20 airstrikes on targets in southern Lebanon… Southern areas of Lebanon were subjected to massive attacks by Israeli Air Force fighter jets, which delivered no less than 23 strikes against ground targets, the news portal Naharnet stated. Airstrikes were reportedly carried out on the mountainous Jabbur area and the Wadi Barguz gorge, where attempts by militants of the Shiite militia Hezbollah to restore their military infrastructure were recorded. This should be big news. Why is the mainstream media in the western world so quiet about this? We really are on the verge of a cataclysmic showdown in the Middle East. President Trump warned the Iranians not to kill protesters. But then the Iranians shut down the Internet for the Iranian population and proceeded to slaughter more than 33,000 protesters… It comes after it was revealed last night that more than 33,000 protesters had been killed in Iran following the regime’s brutal crackdown on anti-government demonstrations, Time reports, quoting two senior officials working for the country’s Ministry of Health. The death toll from the anti-government protests, which began on December 28, was previously estimated to be between 16,500 and 18,000. Alongside the death toll, 97,645 have been wounded, with 30 per cent suffering eye injuries, according to research by Professor Amir-Mobarez Parasta. We have never seen a slaughter of protesters of this magnitude. The Iranians clearly crossed the red line that President Trump had established. Now the U.S. has accumulated an unprecedented amount of firepower in the region, and one expert is warning that “the indicators suggest that planning has moved beyond contingency and into executable readiness”… A newly circulated strategic assessment by regional military analyst Talal Nahle has intensified speculation that the United States and its allies are nearing a decisive military inflection point with Iran, as unprecedented force concentrations across air and naval domains point to preparations far exceeding a limited or symbolic operation. The report, updated early Monday following the release of the latest NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) at 02:31 UTC, highlights what Nahle describes as a “deafening silence” — a lack of change in Iranian firing-zone declarations — combined with a vast and measurable coalition order of battle. Together, the indicators suggest that planning has moved beyond contingency and into executable readiness. “This is no longer the language of speculation,” Nahle wrote. “It is the language of numbers that do not lie.” According to Nahle, the U.S. could potentially launch more than 1,000 missiles “in a single or closely sequenced salvo”… At the center of the assessment is the presence of 1,018 Vertical Launch System (VLS) cells deployed aboard U.S. destroyers and other surface combatants operating within strike range of Iran. According to the analysis, this configuration provides the U.S. Navy with the ability to launch over 1,000 cruise or air-defense missiles — primarily Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles — in a single or closely sequenced salvo. Military planners note that such volumes are designed for missile saturation, a doctrine that overwhelms even advanced air-defense networks through sheer scale. In this scenario, Iranian radar installations, air bases, command nodes and missile platforms could be targeted simultaneously across the country, compressing the defender’s response window to minutes. Now that the USS Abraham Lincoln is in the region, the last piece of the puzzle is finally in place. If President Trump gives the order, missiles will start flying back and forth all over the Middle East. For the Iranians, the USS Abraham Lincoln would be a really juicy target. Could you imagine how the American people would react if images of a burning aircraft carrier suddenly appeared on our television screens? It would be quite a shock. We are just inches away from a nightmare scenario, and once the fighting begins nobody is going to be able to stop it.

Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.”  Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing.   Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe’s Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared  President Trump argued that Europe’s economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent’s cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump’s critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump’s first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe’s stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe’s and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there’s no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022.  This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold.    EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.  The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown.  India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%.  By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases.    This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner.

This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness.  The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray  War/Peace Report: Iran’s Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified’ Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

In the filing, Ellison and the other AGs expressed support for banning the possession of firearms “in crowded places.” The AGs wrote: “Without the power to institute such restrictions, California and other states would be left unable effectively to prevent gun violence in crowded places, around vulnerable populations, or where individuals are exercising other constitutionally protected rights, putting the public at risk.” They emphasized, “Even the perceived risk of gun violence could cause repercussions, as individuals may be discouraged from visiting crowded or confined locations where they know others may be armed.” Source: breitbart.com Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them. pic.twitter.com/fr4TclLBZd — Bill Clinton (@BillClinton) January 25, 2026 Didn’t Bill and Hiliary Violate a Supeona to testify in front of congress, they broke the law, shouldn’t he be in jail.

They do so through the use of force (including guerrilla warfare, terrorism and coercion/intimidation), propa- ganda, subversion and political mobilization. Insurgents fight government forces only to the extent needed to achieve their political aims: their main effort is not to kill counterinsurgents, but rather to establish a competitive system of control over the population, making it impossible for the government to administer its territory and people. Insurgent activity is therefore designed to weaken government control and legitimacy while increasing insurgent control and influence. Insurgents require supporters, recruits, safe havens, money, supplies, weapons and intelligence on government actions. A robust insurgency can be waged with the support of just a small percentage of a given population. NEXT: Counterinsurgency may be defined as ‘comprehensive civilian and military efforts taken to simultaneously defeat and contain insurgency and address its root causes’.

Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse. This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s. The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity. I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night. Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war. We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread. Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil. If this is true, and if the Signal chat can be tied to the Pretti shooting, LG Flanagan is in serious trouble.

At some point, nuking the filibuster will be the only option. The Dems are about to hold the nation hostage, as a means to obstruct/derail justice for their treason. The Dems are caught, and their only hope is to delay and obstruct until November, praying that they can regain control of Congress, so they can continue to obstruct Trump’s agenda until 2029, and then create a one-party Democrat State. All of this can be avoided by just simply ending the zombie filibuster, passing the SAVE Act and funding for ICE/DHS, without a single Democrat vote needed. Not only is this the right thing to do, it would be irresponsible to NOT do it. The Dems are trying to destroy this nation from within. They cannot be negotiated with. They must be destroyed. This stopped being about politics long ago. This is a war. It’s time everyone started acting like it.  Authorities, along with all Illegal Criminals with an active warrant or known Criminal History, for Immediate Deportation.   2. State and Local Law Enforcement must agree to turn over all Illegal Aliens arrested by Local Police.   3. Local Police must assist Federal Law Enforcement in apprehending and detaining Illegal Aliens who are wanted for Crimes.   4. Democrat Politicians must partner with the Federal Government to protect American Citizens in the rapid removal of all Criminal Illegal Aliens in our Country. Some Democrats, in places like Memphis, Tennessee, or Washington, D.C., have done so, resulting in safer streets for ALL.   In addition, I am hereby calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass Legislation to END Sanctuary Cities, which is the root cause of all of these problems. American Cities should be Safe Sanctuaries for Law Abiding American Citizens ONLY, not Illegal Alien Criminals who broke our Nation’s Laws.   All of these requests are rooted in COMMON SENSE, and will provide the best possible circumstances to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! The Trump Administration is standing by, and waiting for ANY Democrat to do the right thing, and work with us on these important matters of MAKING AMERICA SAFE like it is in all sections of our Country where we are, together with Local Leadership, participating and involved.   DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA    THE BORDER, which we have done, and launch the largest Mass Deportation of Illegal Alien Criminals in American History. This Deportation effort is underway, and in Republican run Cities and States, these operations are going peacefully and smoothly, because Local Law Enforcement Officers are allowed to work with their Federal counterparts. For example, in the five Republican run States of Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana, ICE has arrested 150,245 Criminal Illegal Aliens over the past year — with ZERO protests, riots, or chaos. Why? Because Local Police and ICE are cooperating and working together.   Meanwhile, Democrat run Sanctuary Cities and States are REFUSING to cooperate with ICE, and they are actually encouraging Leftwing Agitators to unlawfully obstruct their operations to arrest the Worst of the Worst People! By doing this, Democrats are putting Illegal Alien Criminals over Taxpaying, Law-Abiding Citizens, and they have created dangerous circumstances for EVERYONE involved. Tragically, two American Citizens have lost their lives as a result of this Democrat ensued chaos.     Somalia with NOTHING, and is now reportedly worth more than 44 Million Dollars. Time will tell all. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT   such tremendous SUCCESS in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we have “touched” and, even in Minnesota, Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better!

Given all the powerful forces working against him, it’s not unreasonable to question whether this operation should continue at great expense, both in terms of public resources and political capital. This isn’t a question of retreat but one of practicality and common sense. Had Republicans moved immediately to impeach any judge–especially Boasberg–it would have sent a message that this sort of judicial activism will not be tolerated.

This is happening in major blue cities including Chicago and DC. Does this represent only degrees of losing in Minneapolis? Yes. I am only raising the reality about the situation in Minneapolis. Either consider the facts on the ground or keep insisting there is any victory–political, legal, military–to be had.  circuit because mag judges never refuse to sign criminal complaints brought by the government. If that is the case, happy to be proven wrong. However, it is not uncommon for the government to ask a district court judge (nominated by the president, approved by the Senate) to review a decision by non-approved magistrate judges. Saw this happen frequently in J6. I am not “black pilling” or calling for retreat. I am simply presenting the facts and asking people to consider what comes next.   Good Morning !

So they want to make it look like Trump/MAGA will not win the elections and thats why Trump has used the insurrection act and he wants to shut it down. What if Trump doesn’t use the insurrection act, what if he exposes the Ds every step of the way, and right before the election shows how they overthrough the government in 2020. These are expected to provide evidence of foreign adversaries—like Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran—interfering in U.S. elections by installing Venezuelan-developed “narco-software” into voting systems via a Colorado-based company called Sequoia, which once held 20% of the U.S. election market share.  his same software are used by major voting machine companies such as Dominion, Hart InterCivic, and ES&S, implying widespread compromise.    Times, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, Low Ratings CNN, or the now defunct MSDNC, Polls were all fraudulent, and bore nothing even close to the final results. Something has to be done about Fraudulent Polling. Even the Polls of FoxNews and The Wall Street Journal have been, over the years, terrible! There are great Pollsters that called the Election right, but the Media does not want to use them in any way, shape, or form. Isn’t it sad what has happened to American Journalism, but I am going to do everything possible to keep this Polling SCAM from moving forward! “We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” – Abraham Lincoln People as Masters: Lincoln asserted that the electorate, not elected officials or judges, are the ultimate authority. Accountability of Leaders: It’s the people’s duty to remove those in Congress or the courts who twist the Constitution’s intent. Preserving the Constitution: The goal is to safeguard the document’s integrity by replacing corrupt individuals, not to abolish the system.
