Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) delivered a trademark zinger during the confirmation hearing of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) nominee Russell Vought. Kennedy questioned Vought on the reckless spending habits of the Biden administration and dropped a Biblical truth bomb that left fact-checkers reeling. During the hearing, Sen. Kennedy laid bare the staggering federal spending increases under President Biden’s leadership.[snip] Kennedy also highlighted the outrageous fraud within government stimulus programs, citing the jaw-dropping fact that in fiscal year 2023 alone, $1.3 billion in checks were sent to deceased individuals.

Comments:

Half the fun of Senator Kennedy’s zingers is the serious way he sets them up for the hilarious punchline.

And yet, the worse than useless bureaucrats keep shipping checks to dead people, who continue to cash them. It would seem that any bureaucrat who sends a check to a dead person should be PERSONALLY responsible for repaying that amount to the government. I suspect that this would greatly reduce these frauds.

How about we trace the dead people signers and claw the monies back? Perhaps a dead person fraud bounty?

Just a thought.....were any of those "checks to the dead" mailed to homes owned by members of the BCF or to biden aliases (Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, JRB Ware)? Or to various other cronies....

Establishment media personalities say they are already worn out from covering President Donald Trump and his resurgent drive to deliver the “Golden Age of America.”[snip] With Trump’s return, his executive orders, pardons, and policies are already flooding the media landscape, such as Thursday’s bombshell report of ICE capturing illegal aliens and deporting them. Day four “feels like month four,” Puck’s Tara Palmeri whined Thursday, noting she was hesitant to report the news for fear of “piling on to the deluge of Trump news.”

Donald Trump might be receiving a lot of attention for being an anti-globalist force, and rightly so. He is the biggest whale in that ocean, but where Trump is an America-first powerhouse, Argentina's Javier Milei is an anti-globalist great white shark, chomping down on anything that resembles globalist control. Milei traveled to Davos in Switzerland as many global leaders did in order to deliver his address on the world stage, and as expected, when he got there, he didn't just let the globalists have it, he called them out for their evils.

Just as fate brought Donald Trump improbably back to the presidency, there is cosmic irony in the last-minute change of venue for his swearing-in today. The polar vortex that brought snow and arctic temperatures to Washington meant the official moment of Trump’s comeback triumph had to be moved into the Capitol Rotunda, the very scene of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot that Democrats and the media catastrophized to try to destroy him and his America First populist nationalist movement.

Mexican authorities blocked a US military plane from deporting illegal migrants on Thursday after President Trump's immigration crackdown began. US officials told NBC News that a jet filled with illegal immigrants bound for Mexico never took off after authorities south of the border rejected the move. The flight was one of three that were set to take off on Thursday, alongside two Guatemala-bound Air Force C-17s carrying over 150 people, as part of what Trump has described as the largest mass deportation effort in US history. Deporting migrants to foreign countries requires permission from the incoming nation's government, which Mexico declined on Thursday.
What McConnell Did After the Hegseth Vote
Is Infuriating

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had good qualities. He pushed through Trump’s judicial nominees during the first presidency, got his tax cuts passed, and is a noted legislative strategist and tactician. It doesn’t mean he always bats a thousand, but McConnell got key portions of the Trump agenda passed after the 2016 election. Now, he’s erased all that goodwill with this dastardly vote against Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense. McConnell’s defection, plus that of Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Susan Collins (R-ME), led to Vice President JD Vance performing his constitutional duty to break the tie.

After the 2024 election, the Biden administration knew what was coming in January: a massive crackdown on aid to Ukraine. Since Kamala Harris’ epic defeat last November, the Biden White House wasted little time, if any, sending hordes of cash to the eastern European nation, which became more of an outlet for liberals raging at Russia for supposedly interfering in the 2016 election than a national security priority. Like anything Biden touched, this issue became more unpopular as the months progressed. With Secretary of State Marco Rubio, all aid has been shut down. The gravy train to Kiev is over (via Politico):

As a believer, I attended the service for the purpose of praying for our nation, President Trump, the president’s family, and the success of his administration. I purposely left the prayer service early after realizing how the pulpit was being used for left-wing activism and not for true worship unto God, to seek His will and wisdom. Mr. President, what accosted you at the prayer service was political–not biblical.

President Donald Trump has terminated Dr. Anthony Fauci's taxpayer-funded security detail less than a week after President Joe Biden have him a preemptive pardon. CNN reported Friday on the latest move by Trump to punish his political enemies. Fauci - the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - has since hired a private security firm, the network said. The longtime infectious disease expert has taken much of the blame for the unpopular lockdowns amid the COVID-19 pandemic, despite working under Trump at the time. During his trip to Asheville, North Carolina Friday, Trump shrugged off the move. 'No, I think you know,
