A sobering report by the Public Building Reforms Board paints a grim picture of federal employees’ blatant disregard for duty. The report found that 94% of federal workers do not show up in person regularly, highlighting the poor service delivery and complacency in government offices. The Department of Energy, the Agency for Global Media, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture topped the list of absentee/ absconders with abysmal occupancy rates of 0%, 2%, and 6%, respectively. The Department of Veterans Affairs (7%), the Environmental Protection Agency (8%), the Department of Labor (9%), and the Nuclear Regulation Commission (9%) followed closely with their appalling numbers. Federal agencies with the highest office occupancy rates include

Living close by, I can absolutely vouch for what goes on with federal employees in my street (very high salaried and living it up, mind you), neighborhood, and surrounding areas: they sure love taking those Mondays and Fridays off or don't ever go in. I can't wait for DOGE to get to work.

These numbers are stunning but it helps explain all the spending on travel, designer goods, etc. We have tens of thousands of federal workers living high on the taxpayer-fattened hog.

It's time for President Trump to do the same thing President Reagan did with PATCO - - - - show up for work on Monday - - or you're FIRED! And President Trump has had lots of practice with saying that.

If 75% of that 94% were fired tomorrow, no one would notice. Anyone who was left at those agencies would find their jobs are a lot easier. Remember when Trump moved the BLM to Grand Junction, Colorado? At least 600 BLM employees refused to move, so they were dismissed. Once thew BLM got to Colorado, nobody noticed the others weren't there. It was business as usual.

In private industry where employees are productively working from home (WFH) the solution is just to remove the dedicated office and move to shared offices. Most office jobs do not require people to be in the office everyday, in fact if you have a long commute like me, you are should be more productive WFH. Managers still need to verify productivity and if someone isn't more productive WFH, then they should be required to go in. Of course if an office is over staffed then the non-productive need to go.

Then sell all the government buildings they are not using. And institute sign on monitoring to see that these employees are actually doing work. That will eliminate over half of them. Change their pay agreements to work done, not pay for being there, as they aren't there.

How much of this started with the pandemic? Stay at home and when the pandemic was over, they never returned or only had to show up 3 days a week. That's what happened at my former workplace and that wasn't even the government. The product I worked on went from over 1500 employees to less than 100 when I left. I worked there for over 25 years and only in the last couple did the workforce actually produce less and that was because they were cutting funding to various projects. Last couple of years I could have done all my work in a 20 hour week instead of a 40 hour week. It was one of the reasons I left. I never understood work from home. I rarely did it. I valued that boundary and did not allow work into my home whenever possible, especially when work was demanding we be available 24x7x365. I always remember Fridays. Most people took Friday off, and many others made Friday a half day. Workplace was virtually empty. Especially during summer. I enjoyed it. Fewer interruptions. Management appreciated it too. Especially when the inevitable critsit occurred. Seriously doubt Washington has real work for all those people. What they really are doing is buying votes by offering jobs.

Start with retirements and early retirements. Then, tell the leftovers either they show up and justify what they are doing or they are gone. Move the department to the interior of the country. If they don't want to move, fire them.

Abuse of sick leave was common where I used to work. Management was afraid to say anything about it because the abuser would stomp up to the union and open a hornet's nest. So the rest of us suffered. It was usually the laziest and most inept doing it, but at least when they were gone they weren't breaking anything. Of course, with all their leave wasted, when a real emergency came up they would beg for leave donations.

The Texas General Land Office is offering President-elect Donald Trump a 1,400-acre Starr County ranch as a site to build detention centers for his promised mass deportations of undocumented immigrants, according to a letter the office sent him Tuesday. Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham said in the Tuesday letter that her office is “fully prepared” to enter an agreement with any federal agencies involved in deporting individuals from the country “to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.” The state recently bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border in the Rio Grande Valley and

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested in a recent interview that the DOJ staff is worried it will become a “law firm” for President-elect Trump during his second stint in the White House. His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders and then making the bureaucracy move.”

As the GP recently pointed out, we have been down this road before, but the people who claim they want to leave rarely follow through and actually do it in the end. Threatening to leave the country because Trump won the presidency seems to be some sort of rite of passage on the left. here are lots of people on the left who don’t appreciate how good they have it by living in the United States of America.

Senior White House officials are reportedly considering issuing retired Gen.

Milley, 66, faced intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill during President Biden’s first year in office after journalist Bob Woodward revealed that the Pentagon official placed secret phone calls to a top Chinese official before the 2020 election and after the Jan. 6. 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

Barack Obama is a practiced expert at this, and he gave a master class in it on Thursday at his Obama Foundation’s Orwellian-named Democracy Forum. With some notable and revealing difficulty in getting the words out, Obama accused the Republicans of doing everything that the Democrats have been doing for the past few years: rigging elections, weaponizing the justice system, and trying to ensure that they would remain in power on an indefinite basis.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is raising concerns that certain establishment GOP lawmakers may quietly undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda despite publicly claiming to support it. As Trump gears up for another four years in the White House, Roy fears some of his colleagues, particularly those with strong ties to the D.C. establishment, will work behind the scenes to thwart his policies or derail his efforts. The Texas representative’s warnings reflect a broader anxiety within the GOP about the deepening divide between the incoming Trump Administration and those deep inside the swamp. In addition to Roy, others also fear these Republicans may prioritize their political futures.

President Joe Biden toured the National Museum of Slavery in Angola’s capital of Luanda on Tuesday, delivering a speech in which he described slavery as America’s “original sin” and claiming it still taints American public discourse. “The United States is founded on an idea, one embedded in our Declaration of Independence, that all men and women are created equal. It is abundantly clear today we have not lived up to that idea, but we have not fully walked away from it either,” Biden said. Biden said slavery was “cruel, brutal, dehumanizing,” an “original sin” that “haunted America and cast a long shadow ever since.”
