TRUMP’S FBI: Netting Big Fish Results In BIG Changes
We're seeing much more than cosmetic differences this time around

Personnel, they say, IS policy. The difference in how the FBI conducts itself now, compared to Trump’s FIRST term is proof positive.
In Trump 1.0, the FBI was hostile and subversive. In the Biden years, it was open season on anyone the left considered an ‘enemy’. That includes entrapment. (Remember the time a Fed infiltrated a harmless group and tried to get them to throw Molotov Coctails on unused federal property?)
Under Patel and Bongino, their energies aren’t spent on lecturing about white privilege, or trying to develop informants within participants of Latin Mass. There’s no terror watch lists for parents upset about schools hiding the fact that a teenage girl was sexually attacked in her washroom by a boy in a skirt. Rather than pressing charges, he was relocated to another school where he victimized another unsuspecting girl.
Gone are the days of something like 60% of FBI man-hours being spent on senseless J6 cases.
No more.
In this administration, their energies are being spent on a radical new priority: catching bad guys. Go figure. And just two months in, we’re already seeing results in a couple of ways.
First, bad guys are being found and caught.
From Kash himself, we’ve got reports of a top dog in MS-13 getting collared:
When an institution like that walks away from the woke nonsense and turns their attention on fulfilling the actual mission, that gets peoples’ attention.
The FBI received a record number of new agent applications in Director Kash Patel’s first full month leading the bureau, with the flood of law enforcement job-seekers nearly doubling the monthly average since 2016.
There were 5,577 new FBI agent applications submitted in March, Fox News Digital has learned.
The last time the bureau saw a monthly figure even close to that number was April 2016, with 5,283 applications.
By comparison, the monthly average in 2023 was 2,797 applications, with 3,383 applications per month in 2024, according to FBI data reviewed by Fox News Digital. — FoxNews
There’s a less obvious reason that a of flood of applications like this one represents very good news. It represents people coming there for the right reasons… meaning it’s a strong first step in stocking the talent pool. It’s a key part of reversing the one-party capture of the bureaucracy that we’ve seen on display there in recent years.
It’s not the only place we’re seeing such turnaround either.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth took to social media to announce that the service achieved its “best recruiting numbers” last month — its highest since 2010.
The numbers surpassed a 12-year record set in December 2024, when the service said it enlisted nearly 350 soldiers per day.
Hegseth credited the surge to President Donald Trump, asserting that America’s youth are now eager to serve under a “bold and strong, America-first leadership.” — Defense Post
Looks like Obama was right: elections really DO have consequences.
