100 Percent Fed Up

Well this is certainly interesting….

Earlier today, news broke that Mike Waltz was OUT as chair of the National Security Council:

BREAKING: National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Deputy Alex Wong Are OUT

Initial thoughts were that he was likely removed by President Trump, but now Trump himself has posted he is nominating Waltz to be the next U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Take a look here, this is from President Trump on Truth Social, I verified it:

I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations. From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation's Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

My initial thought?

Is this a promotion or is President Trump shipping him off shore and out of the way?

I'm not entirely sure yet, but that was at least the first question that crossed my mind.

Waltz himself responded:

CNBC had more details:

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will nominate Mike Waltz to be the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, confirming earlier reports that Waltz was being ousted as national security advisor.

Trump said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would serve as interim national security advisor until that post is filled.

The announcement came hours after multiple news reports that Walz would leave that role amid continued controversy over his creation of a Signal messaging app chat thread that was used by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to reveal U.S. military plans to other Trump administration officials.

The editor of The Atlantic magazine had been inadvertently added to the chat thread by Waltz.

The president had previously nominated Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., for the U.N. ambassador slot.

But Trump withdrew Stefanik’s nomination in late March, citing the very slim majority that Republicans hold in the House of Representatives.

“I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Thursday.

“From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role,” Trump wrote.

“In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Waltz, in a tweet replying to Trump’s post, wrote, “I’m deeply honored to continue my service to President Trump and our great nation.”

Waltz, 51, previously served in the House, representing a Florida district. Earlier, he served in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces officer.

I wonder where Alex Wong will turn up?

The next Ambassador to Chyyyna?

Here was our earlier report:

BREAKING: National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Deputy Alex Wong Are OUT

This is a breaking news alert....

War Hawk Mike Waltz and his top deputy Alex Wong are out and no longer working for the President of the United States.

See this breaking alert from Fox News:

The departure stems from fallout over "SignalGate" as well as potentially not aligning with President Trump's desire to end existing wars.

Here is Waltz giving a very nonsensical answer to Laura Ingraham over how he added Jeffrey Goldberg to that SignalChat.

Laura isn't buying anything Waltz is trying to sell here and neither do I:

While it was widely known that Waltz was on thin ice, the departures came like a thief in the night, or perhaps make that a thief in the morning.

He was on Fox and Friends this morning at 8:20 a.m. only to be gone mere hours later:

The AP added these details:

White House national security adviser Mike Waltz is set to depart the administration, according to two people familiar with the matter on Thursday, marking the first major staff shakeup of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Waltz came under searing scrutiny in March after revelations that he added journalist Jeffrey Goldberg to a private text chain on the encrypted messaging app Signal, which was used to discuss planning for a sensitive March 15 military operation against Houthi militants in Yemen. A far-right ally of the president, Laura Loomer, has also targeted Waltz, telling Trump in a recent Oval Office conversation that he needs to purge aides who she believes are insufficiently loyal to the “Make America Great Again” agenda.

Waltz’s deputy, Alex Wong, is also expected to depart, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel move not yet made public. The National Security Council did not respond do a request for comment.

Waltz, who served in the House representing Florida for three terms before his elevation to the White House, is the most prominent senior administration official to depart since Trump returned to the White House. In his second term, the Republican president had been looking to avoid the tumult of his first four years in office, during which he cycled through four national security advisers, four White House chiefs of staff and two secretaries of state.

When I call him a "War Hawk" I think this next clip will show you exactly what I mean.

Are these the people we really want in President Trump's ear?

More War Hawk Neocons?

That's a big no-thank you from me.

Not that I don't support Israel, I do.  I just don't support endless wars and killing.  I'm tired of it.

George W. Bush conned me into thinking we had to fight the whole Middle East, but I've woken up now and that has most clearly failed.

It needs to stop.

People are already posting who they want to fill the opening:

And:

More here, from NoahReport:

National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Deputy NSC Advisor Alex Wong are leaving the Trump administration.

Fox News reported:

Trump administration National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and other staffers are out at the National Security Council, sources confirmed to Fox News.

Fox News confirmed Waltz and his deputy Alex Wong were purged Thursday.

Waltz, who previously served as a Florida congressman and as a decorated combat Green Beret, has come under fire from Democrats and critics since March, when the Atlantic magazine’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg published a firsthand account of getting added to a Signal group chat with top national security leaders, including Waltz, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, while they discussed strikes against Yemen terrorists.

Waltz took responsibility for the inclusion of a journalist in the group chat in April, telling Fox News’ Laura Ingraham: “I take full responsibility. I built the group. … It’s embarrassing. We’re going to get to the bottom of it.”

A replacement has reportedly been talked about for weeks.

Politico reported:

Names for a replacement have been discussed around the West Wing for weeks, but the plans to remove Waltz potentially as soon as this week gained steam in recent days, according to two of the people and another person close to the White House.
