European elites are still reeling and trying to figure out how to respond to the woodshedding he gave them last week for their hostility to free speech...
This is one of those articles that's so sad it's almost hilarious, "Maine gov's transgender athlete dust-up with Trump made WH confab 'uncomfortable,' govs say", https://www.foxnews.com/person/c/charles-creitz, concerning the little "dust up" between the Maine Gov. and Trump over trans in female athletics, not like that hasn't been all over the news. The Chairman and Vice Chairman (of the Gov's Association) both claimed they didn't know the "back story" that led to the exchange. Where do these people reside? They then talk about better ways to disagree and compromise, how do you compromise on allowing a non-woman (that a man for you liberals) to participate with woman in athletics? Not only that, but every governor has been faced with the same ultimatum by Trump so how could they not know what this was about? It's true that some have already agreed with the Trump EO which is evidence already that they had knowledge of this issue.
A thought about DOGE. Before the work is done and DOGE goes away, perhaps the House should add a provision to every spending bill that would require each and every agency funded to make a full accounting of where every penny was spent near the end of each fiscal year. And, if any of it could not be accounted for, that amount would be automatically deducted from the next year's appropriation. So if some agency decided not to do the audit, they would be defunded until they did.
Having worked in a state bureaucracy for over 30 years, and having to manage a small department's budget for at least 10 of those years, I know that's not hard to do at all. Therefore in the above scenario, a smart head of an agency would require all assistant heads, supervisors etc. to produce an audit of their section, and make it part of their annual review. If anything gets cut, the head knows whose budget the cut comes from.
Maybe a little built in accountability could replace DOGE.
This bluster is the new disinformation campaign, "'Not American': Dem governors lash out at Elon Musk's 'cruel' DOGE efforts", https://www.foxnews.com/person/h/deirdre-heavey, where there has never been a single hint that any cuts will be made to programs lawfully made and implemented. Everything that is being daily identified as "DOGE findings" is waste or fraud. Waste in that is does not advance the interests of the US as determined by Trump's 2024 victory. Fraud in that many expenditures can't be justified or are in complete violation of law or common sense and in some cases are financing our enemies. If that's not clear enough, DOGE is not doing anything they are complaining about, DOGE has no authority beyond telling the truth. I'm on Medicare and SS and I don't have one concern about my benefits being changed simply because they are what they are supposed to be, I didn't try to cheat the government, and the government is not cheating me. The only people who have anything to fear are those committing a crime which may include many of these governors.
Saw this story, "New Small Business Administration chief goes viral as she tours empty cubes, announces return to office", https://www.foxnews.com/person/c/jeffrey-clark, where Loffler says "work at home" ends on Monday per Trump's order. Has that EO actually been given because the last I heard instead of "return to work" the employees were offered buyouts. I was against this, or at least the "order" of offering buyouts before enforcing return to work so I'm a little surprised if I missed this EO announcement. Can someone clarify?
I cannot tell you how broken hearted I am that the lefties are cancelling performances at Ken Center. Seriously, we might actually get some quality events that are funny, great drama, classic, etc, without the requisite snarky remarks or themes.
Let’s see, we have a man as President who is so egotistical that he becomes jealous if his minions overshadow him, i.e., Elon, J.D., RFK. How about facts folks? Do you think for one minute that the Pres. does not approve of the above named activities? Of course he does. . He knowingly tapped the services of smart, outspoken people. He knew exactly what he was getting. There is hardly any integrity among journalists now.
Who do people actually think has been running the country the last four years? Unelected appointees, that’s who. I simply cannot get my head around the concepts of the left. Not only that, they eat their own if they deviate in any way from the party line.
Much as I would appreciate a refund, let’s get that debt down. It would be nice to lower the income tax rate gradually.
Is anybody going to guilt those kids that caused the suicide? They need a lesson badly. I wonder if teachers were aware? Instead of DEI, why not mandatory training on how to treat each other. Do I really want to lay fault on bullies and adjacent adults. You bet!!!! You lay the guilt and then help them to understand atonement.
This takes idiocy to the next level, "Wisconsin Democratic governor proposes replacing 'mother' with 'inseminated person' in state law", https://www.foxnews.com/person/w/rachel-wolf. So, what would he call the female caregiver of an adopted child on "inseminated person day"? The idea that you can change reality with made up words seems to be the extent of these people's intelligence. I only hop Wisconsin voters are paying attention.
"Ukraine update" I'm still no convinced Zelensky is the good guy in this war! Wasn't the US in conjunction with Zelensky Ukraine running biological labs , like Wuhan Lab in China, That potentially threatened Russia? Zelensky then set himself up as a Dictator and the US kept supporting him! Now he seems to want to continue the war! SIC 'EM TRUMP
"unelected VA bureaucrats have no right to censor the word of God." What they think they are GOD I think they will have a major wake up call!
Zelenskyy is not a good guy! How is an ex-comedian now a billionaire? And he can't figure out where the money went? He needs to look in his bank accounts.
Regarding DOGE savings: Use all the money to pay down the debt. The faster the debt is paid off, the sooner we can cut taxes even more. Paying off the debt is more important than rebates.
"and we hope that it will be that appointed judges in inferior courts don’t get to tell elected Presidents how to run the executive branch." SCOTUS will rule justly on this. I think the word INFERIOR should have been capitalized. Blessings!
Like it’s said about the appointed Judges with their inferior courts . These Judges were not voted as president to lead the nation . These Judges are the hold over scrap from the Biden Administration Americans vote out , because we are tied and disappointed with them and their corruptness . One of them is at it today blocking Trump .
Vance! a future president??? I would vote for him in the blink of an eye! I thought that is what he is being groomed for. Did I get that wrong? He's young and sensible, well educated, and well, he's acting like a VP and learning the ropes of becoming president. Shouldn't he rewarded with the job? He's a better VP than Pence turned out to be. No question he's blown away the last VP who, BTW, was only a "figure head" and nothing else. The woman probably didn't even know her left shoe from her right shoe.
Personally, I would prefer we apply any DOGE savings to reduce down our immoral debt. This debt is so large, it really has borrowed from future generations. The problem with our current tax system is it would likely consider a return of $5,000 as current income and not return of principal. Then wham! the IRS will penalize anyone who doesn't report the $5,000 as income. Better to reduce the debt and leave a legacy to our future generations! A country to start with but a country with no debt would be quite a legacy!
I want to be sure that our federal budget is reduced. I do not want to see the effort and hope behind the DOGE savings to be wasted while our legislative houses continue to increase the federal budget. How about a $1T reduction?
True. It's amazing how these leaders spend money. When there is no money in my budget to buy something, then I don't buy it. Simple but effective as I don't carry any long term debt. I pay my credit card balance every month. The federal government should be operating on the same principle. BTW that goes for state government's as well. I am thankful that all the excess spending is being exposed by DOGE. As I have said before, this nation has been given a second chance to right these wrongs.

You may needs auditors to audit the auditor -- but a great idea.

Great comment. You are on target 100%!!

I really question whether they have any intelligence at all?!?
What a newsletter!
I like Rand Paul's idea of using money found by DOGE. https://rumble.com/v6npuhx-on-fire-rand-paul-goes-off-on-government-spending.html?e9s=src_v1_cw&playlist_id=watch-history

The Dogefather with the Golden Chainsaw😂thank you for covering that!

What's up wit the "A Trip of a Lifetime" ad? Is it associated with Mike Huckabee?
Yes - he sponsored it and then got selected as Ambassador to Israel, pending Senate vote.
Thank you for the information.

I don't need the $5,000.00 rebate but it sure would be nice for taxes to be lower going forward
Thank you….
