Your hard earned tax dollars at work! You just have to read this article and watch the videos to see how badly America needs Elon Musk to head a “ Department of Government Efficiency” in a DJT Administration.

One can only imagine the inefficiencies of the number of staff and consultants to come up with such craziness, and the larger number to review the answer…plus the work demanded of the private applicant

And this sort of irrelevant, pointless waste of time and money happens every single day in every bureaucratic office in the whole federal government. Fire these fools and shut down their agencies.

Dear Lord, I pray these bureaucrats are summarily fired for cause, barred from rehire, and struggle to find minimum wage jobs.

This is nothing compared to the billions in tax dollars )over the decades) wasted on useless medical "research" funded by the likes of NIH and NIAID aka Fauci's old agency. Kind of ironic (and hypocritical) that they care about the potential harm to seals caused by sonic booms created by SpaceX but the same administration doesn't care about the harm to whales and other marine life with all those wind farms being installed along our eastern coast.

#4) These regulations are only applicable when a conservative is trying to do something productive. Also "Department of Government Efficiency." sounds like an oxymoron. Of course, it seems like most government employees are morons already.

The only daughter of former Republican President Gerald Ford has endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election. Susan Ford Bales is a registered Republican and admitted she would 'likely disagree on some policy matters' pushed by the vice president. But ultimately she believed that Harris' 'integrity and commitment to those same principles that guided Dad have led me to conclude' that she should be in the White House over Donald Trump.[snip] Ford was Michigan's only president and was propelled to the White House when Richard Nixon resigned in 1973 in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal.

A recent report shows that the assassination attempts on President Donald Trump were facilitated by unacceptable misconduct and unprofessional behavior by employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Secret Service (USSS) stemming from deep-seated politicization within these agencies.[Snip] New information released by Empower Oversight (EO), a respected American civil rights watchdog, proves that the FBI high ranking employees became way too supportive of the Democrat party. A September 19 letter[snip]exposes mistreatment, and even the firing of agents because of their conservative political views.

Such small businesses includelimited liability companies, corporations, “and any other entities created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the United States.”

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, told Breitbart News exclusively in a written interview after his victorious debate performance against Minnesota’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz last week that Trump deserves the credit for developing the strategy that propelled him to victory. Vance told Breitbart News that Trump told him in the lead-up to the debate that he should focus his criticisms on Vice President Kamala Harris—the Democrats’ presidential nominee—rather than wasting time and energy on Walz. Vance said Trump’s idea clearly “worked,” and he thanked the former president for it afterwards

Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any more desperate, they go and try to resurrect the Russiagate narrative that plagued news coverage of former President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. A former KGB spy told The Guardian that the former president was “cultivated as a Russian asset” for over four decades and that Russia’s government was supposedly thrilled when he became president because he engaged in “anti-western propaganda” before entering politics.[Snip] Shvets claims Trump was “fed KGB talking points and flattered by KGB operatives who floated the idea that he should go into politics,”

Marjorie Taylor Greene was right. Yes, scientists do control the weather. But as the old saying goes- “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” After Representative Greene tweeted a simple and accurate statement last week regarding weather manipulation, the mainstream media went on autopilot mode, calling her an “unhinged conspiracy theorist”.[Snip]There is little to no public oversight or discourse on the subject matter. While these tools can be used for good, they can also be used for nefarious purposes and have been misused in the past.

I officially retired from the US Army on 1 August 2004 and vividly recall sitting and watching the 2004 Democratic National Committee convention. At that convention, a fella named Barack Hussein Obama gave the keynote speech. He had just become a State Senator in Illinois. Angela and I listened to a rousing, emotional, rhetorical speech using the southern pastoral iambic pentameter rhythm and said to each other...this is the guy the Democrats are going to run for President. We were correct in our assessment from 2004. We all witnessed a meteoric rise of someone whom we had no idea of who they were. As a matter of fact, Obama once

House lawmakers tasked with investigating the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania said Monday that the attack never would have happened had the Secret Service been prepared. The House Task Force on the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler released a 53-page interim report detailing the “stunning security failures” that led to Trump being struck in the ear by a bullet fired by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. These failures included numerous communication errors and inadequate planning to secure the site.

Two impeachments, 88 felony counts (with guilty verdicts on 34 of them), a massive fine, two assassination attempts, unrelentingly hostile media coverage, a last-minute candidate switcheroo, and Donald Trump is still showing signs that he will win the election in two weeks. So, what do Democrats still have up their sleeve to stop Trump? They must have something. Back in May, we asked what the Democrats’ Plan B was if their lawfare campaign against Trump failed, and offered five options – four of which have come to pass. Here is what we said then.

McDonald's has finally revealed why it does not have records to verify Vice President Kamala Harris' claim that she worked at one of its restaurants in the 1980s. In a memo emailed to McDonald's USA franchisees the corporation confirmed that while Harris had 'fond memories' of working at a location in Alameda County, 'we and our franchisees don't have records for all positions dating back to the early '80s.' A copy of the internal letter was posted by an anonymous McDonald's franchise on social media and confirmed by the Wall Street Journal.

Kamala Harris was offered an opportunity to finally work at a McDonald's restaurant but never responded to the invite, a statement circulating on social media indicates. A franchisee on X posted what they describe as "an internal statement to the McDonald’s system from the US Senior Leadership Team" regarding Donald Trump's visit to a McDonald’s in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They describe the memo as "100% real." By now, most of our readers know that Trump swapped out his suit jacket over the weekend with an apron and proceeded to work the fryers and the drive-thru section at the fast food restaurant.

A town hall event with Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday featured a shocking revelation after one voter simply wondered whether she could ask a question. Former California First Lady Maria Shriver admitted while hosting the event with former Rep. Liz Cheney in Royal Oak, Michigan that she would only include 'predetermined questions.' 'Are we going to be able to ask a question?' asked a woman in the audience.'You're not, unfortunately we have some predetermined questions,' Shriver replied. 'And hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head, I hope so.' Typically, presidential campaigns allow voters at townhall meetings to ask unscripted questions,

Seven Israeli citizens were arrested last month on suspicion of spying for Iran for as long as two years, carrying out hundreds of tasks at the behest of the Islamic Republic, prosecutors said on Monday. “This is one of the most severe cases we’ve ever investigated. There is a real possibility that the main charge will be aiding the enemy in wartime, for which the penalty is death or life imprisonment,” said Chief Superintendent Yaron Binyamin, who heads the Lahav 433 serious crimes unit of the Israel Police.

Once in a great while, what happens at the bottom of the ballot can reshape a state’s political future for decades to come. While New Yorkers on Election Day will vote on the controversial “Equal Rights Amendment,” Ohio is ground zero for an effort to wrest control away from the people and give it to unelected, Fauci-like bureaucrats to achieve “redistricting reform.” And the movement is anything but organic: It’s an out-of-state (and even international) attempt by left-wing politicians to trick voters into rewriting our state constitution by passing Issue 1. The ballot measure — masterminded by the likes of Barack Obama’s former Attorney General Eric Holder-

Tucker Carlson invited journalist Mark Halperin on his show to predict what the post-election future could look like for America and was horrified by what he heard. Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and currently a reporter for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris. 'I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,' he said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and suffer 'trauma in the workplace.'
