TSA CIO, State senior procurement executive moving on
With the news of federal employees facing a new round of layoffs, here are a few long-time federal employees heading out the door by choice.
Federal News Network has learned that Yemi Oshinnaiye, the chief information officer for the Transportation Security Administration, is leaving his role after more than three years.
Additionally, Mike Derrios, the senior procurement executive at the State Department since 2020, is retiring on Oct. 17.
Emails to TSA and State seeking comment were not returned.
Sources say Oshinnaiye is heading to industry where he will be the chief technology officer at Capgemini, a technology services company. His last day at TSA is today.
Yemi Oshinnaiye is leaving after more than three years as the TSA CIO.
Kristin Ruiz is TSA’s deputy CIO, but it’s unclear if she will take over as CIO on an interim basis.
This will be a return to the private sector for Oshinnaiye, who previously worked for federal contractors Electronic Data System and Dev Technology, as well as for several real estate-focused businesses.
He joined federal service in 2012 as an IT specialist for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.
Oshinnaiye became the TSA CIO in 2022, where one of his top priorities was improving customer experience across all agency missions.
He also has been a big proponent of making artificial intelligence work for TSA. The agency invested in a chatbot called “TSA Answer Engine.” It is also using its “innovation lab” to advance new AI use cases. TSA established the lab headquarters last January.
A third priority for TSA has been around data. It is established a “domain name structure and architecture” for its data. Through this “data mesh” approach, TSA can more easily protect data based on specific domains, while allowing for sharing where it’s needed.
State’s Derrios is leaving federal service after more than 30 years of service. Sources say he has no specific plans to join another company in the short term.
During his tenure at State, Derrios led the effort to reshape the acquisition organization and its processes. He reorganized the acquisition shop around four lines of business to help agency customers get services from a consolidated and expert group of contracting professionals.
Michael Derrios is retiring after spending five years as the senior procurement executive at the State Department.
On LinkedIn, Derrios said he was responsible for management and oversight of a $12 billion annual spend portfolio for a global procurement. He lead a total domestic and overseas workforce of about 1,500 acquisition workers.
In addition, procurement planning efforts at State have seen significant changes, starting in 2023 and expanding in the years since. The agency redesigned its forecast tool to make it much more robust.
Derrios also pushed State to take more of a category management approach to buying common goods and services. He built data analytics tools to help the agency get a better idea of what their current portfolios look like, rather than relying on agencies to dig into their own systems and the Federal Procurement Data System just to get a retroactive view. His goal was to give State leaders a more concurrent picture, as close to real-time as possible.
Another big area of focus over the last few years has been to give State contracting officers and vendors more incentive and time to engage over performance. He said contractor performance assessment ratings (CPARs) are an underutilized tool.
Derrios began his career as a contracting officer for the Air Force in 1995. He worked for CACI for two years before returning to federal service in 2002 to work for TSA. He spent almost 14 years at TSA before becoming the head of contracting activity at the Coast Guard.
One more update on a recent federal technology executive who moved on: Winston Beauchamp, who left the Air Force in July after 10 years, recently joined Boeing as its vice president of intelligent systems.
Most recently, Beauchamp was the director of security, special program oversight and information protection and deputy CIO for the Air Force.
During his federal career, Beauchamp also worked in the Office of the Director for National Intelligence as the director of mission integration and for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

REPORT: Pam Bondi Pleaded with Trump Not To Fire Her During Meeting and Allegedly Tipped Off Eric Swalwell About FBI’s Push to Release Salacious Fang Fang Files

Credit: White House
More details have emerged regarding Pam Bondi’s sudden firing as Attorney General, and they do not reflect well on her at all.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Bondi’s employment was terminated in a surprising shakeup and replaced in the interim by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Bondi will transition to another role in the Trump Administration.
The president has reportedly discussed replacing Bondi with EPA Chief Lee Zeldin.
This news came following reports that Trump was mulling firing Bondi over her handling of the Epstein file release.
Now, the Daily Mail reveals that a senior administration source told them that Trump actually informed Bondi during their meeting that she was fired.
Bondi responded by begging Trump not to fire her and to give her additional time in the role.
The president, however, remained firm.
The Mail also reveals a stunning final detail that proved to be Trump’s final straw with Bondi.
The president believes that Bondi gave Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-China) a heads-up about the FBI trying to release documents related to his romantic relationship with Chinese spy Christine Fang.
The senior administration source also told the Mail that Bondi was intervening in the matter.
Moreover, Bondi is reportedly FRIENDS with Swalwell. Friends with one of the most odious Democrats in America.
From The Daily Mail:
Trump’s reasoning for the sudden dismissal comes in part because the President believes Bondi tipped off Eric Swalwell about the FBI’s efforts to release investigative documents related to his relationship with an alleged Chinese spy.
The FBI was preparing a cache of documents on Swalwell’s relationship with Christine Fang.
“She’s intervening in those matters. The White House wasn’t pleased she was intervening due to her personal friendship with Swalwell,” the source added.
It is unclear why Bondi would have intervened, but it is believed that Bondi and Swalwell have a friendly relationship.
If this is all true, how did the administration miss it?

US Reportedly in Secret Talks With Denmark to Significantly Boost Military Presence in Greenland

The future of Greenland is reportedly being decided in secret negotiations
The US National Security concerns about the Arctic will be addressed, one way or another.
And so, we’ve come to the point where a lot seems to have changed regarding the situation of the Arctic island of Greenland.
On the one hand, Denmark’s Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called snap elections, trying to use her resistance to Donald J. Trump’s designs on Greenland to guarantee another term, but in the end, she had the worst voting for her dominant party in a century.
So, now Frederiksen has renounced and is working as a caretaker PM, while she negotiates with other parties, hoping to remain at the helm.
Meanwhile, the US is involved in a high-stakes military operation in Iran, and Trump has told anyone who’ll listen that ‘Cuba is next’ – so, maybe this is not the ideal moment to seize Greenland and deal with the potential military reaction by former Euro-Globalist ‘allies’.
So, perhaps it is not so surprising that the US began ‘secret talks’ with Denmark to ‘increase its military presence’ in Greenland.
BREAKING:
The New York Times writes has the U.S. has asked Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland from 1 base to 4 bases.

Washington is reportedly seeking access to three bases to set up airfields and ports.
The Telegraph reported:
“The talks are being held under a 1951 defense pact between Denmark and the United States that allows the latter to build and expand military sites in Greenland, a Danish overseas territory.”
BREAKING
: U.S. is in talks with Denmark to gain access to three more military bases in Greenland, expanding its Arctic footprint and strategic presence beyond the existing Pituffik Space Base amid rising geopolitical tensions.

“Pituffik Space Base is currently the sole US military base in Greenland, on its north-west coast. Operating since the 1951 US-Denmark treaty, it is central to the US early warning and missile defense as well as space surveillance.
Lt-Cdr Teresa C Meadows, a US Northern Command spokesman, said the US wished to expand bases near the southern town of Narsarsuaq and Kangerlussuaq, in the western region.”

Another TDS Meltdown: James Carville Makes Ominous Promise-After Mid-terms, Democrats Will Go After Trump’s ‘Kids and Their Spouses’ (Video)

James Carville
Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville, fresh from a recent insane TDS-induced meltdown, has issued an ominous promise to President Trump and his family. After the midterms, Democrats will go after Trump’s ‘stupid jackass kids and their spouses.’
Carville also fantasized about violence against the President.
Carville made the threat on his podcast “Politicon.”
“Listen to me, Trump,” he warned. “I’m gonna tell your fat fucking ass something. You’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don’t know, because they haven’t really told you.”
“Let me tell you something. They’re gonna, they’re gonna start breaking the news to you kind of gently. And you’re gonna sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. But you won’t know. Because it’s quite one thing to imagine what it’s like to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. It’s another thing to actually get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson.”
“And that’s what’s going to happen to you in November.”
“Now let me tell you about, let’s talk about your future, your post-November future.”
“First, people are not going to return your phone calls. They’re going to correctly think you’re yesterday. Yeah, you, they’ll say, ‘Well, he’s got two years left., He can do damage. No one gives a shit about him.'”
“The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”
“I would like to introduce you to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, because it is a lot of people’s view. By the way, Congressman Jeffers and Senator Schumer, they’re going to go down to the White House on November 10th, and then you’re going to have some stiff photo of them sitting there talking about collegiality and cooperation.Don’t believe that bullshit.”
“Then they’re gonna start going after you. Then they’re gonna start figuring out where all the money stolen is.”
“Then they’re gonna go after your stupid jackass kids and their spouses and all the other bullshit that you see. And they’re gonna investigate the shit out of you.”
“And then when it comes to this stuff you’re doing in Iran, I gotta tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line.”
“And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts, and I think it’s in The Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your ass…not going to protect you.”
“Understand that.”
“Then it’s all going to come, and they’re all going to turn on you.”
“And you know who’s going to turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators, there may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now, the House is going to vote to impeach you. You’re going to be impeached in 2027.”
Watch the full unhinged meltdown:
