Some people watch movies on Friday night or go for a sip at the pub to watch a game with a friend, or they just stay home and knit.
But not Donald Trump. On this Friday (March 21), he revoked the security clearances of numerous political foes, including his shrillest critic, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Many of these clearances are simply not in our "national interest," the president argued:
President Trump issued a memo Friday rescinding the security clearances of more than a dozen individuals, including former President Joe Biden and his entire family, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
“I have determined that it is no longer in the national interest for the following individuals to access classified information,” Trump wrote in the memo to the heads of executive departments and agencies, before naming those he’s barring from receiving classified information.

The president has not been shy about revoking such clearances for those he doesn’t think deserve them:

Poor former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the thoroughly discredited J6 committee, likely is calling her father tonight to commiserate over her latest loss of status:
The list includes his three past presidential election opponents — Clinton, Biden and Harris — as well as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Former Biden administration officials Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Lisa Monaco are also on the list, as is anti-Trump Republicans Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
Look for former Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger to be unleashing unhinged tweets Saturday—since he’s no longer in office, that’s about all he can do besides wail on CNN periodically. No more “unescorted access" for you, Adam:
“I hereby direct every executive department and agency head to take all additional action as necessary and consistent with existing law to revoke any active security clearances held by the aforementioned individuals and to immediately rescind their access to classified information,” Trump, 78, wrote.
The president also ordered executive department and agency heads to “revoke unescorted access to secure United States Government facilities from these individuals.”

The Biden administration and extremist prosecutors in places like Manhattan and Fulton County, Georgia—joined by zealots like NY state Attorney General Letitia James—unleashed the full force of the all-powerful state on Donald Trump and pulled out every crooked trick in their bags to stop him from re-ascending to power.
They failed.
Some might be uncomfortable with Trump’s retaliation now that he’s back in the driver’s seat—but what did they expect him to do, lie down and keep taking it? Every person on this list fully deserves what they just got.
The timeless lesson is once again proven: If you’re going to attempt to topple the boss, make sure you succeed.
Trump is back and he’s cleaning up the disastrous mess left by the hapless Joe Biden administration.
