New York City officials are accusing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of "highway robbery" after she ordered an illegal payment of $59 million targeted for illegal immigrant housing in posh hotels clawed back. [Disclaimer: this article is from Politico, so it is quite possibly funded by funds from some government; see Let's Untangle the Inappropriate Financial Deals Between the Federal Gov't., Politico, and Other Outlets – RedState.] Top New York City officials are hitting back against the seizure of $80 million in funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, with City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander blasting the revocation as “illegal.”

Elon Musk has been taking a fine tooth comb through the government finances with his DOGE team and he's come up with some more information that's likely to raise a few eyebrows and a lot of questions. (Snip) His chart showed more than 20 million over 100 years old "including more than 3.9 million in the 130-139 age range, more than 3.5 million in the 140-149 range and more than 1.3 million in the 150-159 range." Not to mention the couple of folks who must be the original vampires who are between 240 and 369 years old.
When presidents leave the White House, the next chapter of their life begins, that of a former president. Americans don't have a problem with things like lifetime Secret Service protection for former presidents and their families; that is necessary. But in the modern era, former commanders-in-chief have a vast array of income streams to choose from. Again, no problem — people want to hear about their experiences in the White House. But if former presidents have the means to support themselves, how much of their post-presidential lives should taxpayers be on the hook for?
Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan, in a seeming reversal, is now expressing some skepticism about efforts to block Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the government data it would need to carry out its task of finding wasteful spending. The Judge is expected to issue a ruling within the next 24 hours.
A federal judge expressed skepticism of efforts seeking to bar President Donald Trump's administration from accessing federal data and firing federal workers when hearing remarks from the bench on Monday.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has yet to issue a ruling in the case, which relates to billionaire Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
No matter how bad your life is, be thankful you aren’t a Democrat. If you’re currently pinned under a tanker truck rapidly leaking fuel that is rushing toward a lit cigarette held by the person who hates you most in this world, be thankful you aren’t a Democrat. If you aren’t a Democrat, you still have hope; if you aren’t a Democrat, there’s a chance you still possess a functioning brain. If you aren’t a Democrat, you don’t have to spend your days defending government waste and worthless bureaucracies at the expense of whatever dignity you may have left –
Everybody needs to calm down and take a deep breath – the DOGE revolution is not in danger because a bunch of obscure district court judges in blue jurisdictions have signed ridiculous temporary orders purporting to limit President Donald Trump’s ability to actually be president. Don’t listen to the black pill battalion. We’re not losing this fight. We’re going to win it. Listen to the vice president – JD Vance has gotten a lot of heat because he pointed out that this is a legal farce. As usual, he’s right. And, to the extent there is a constitutional crisis – which there isn’t –

Packages from the United States Agency for International Development were found last year in a cache of weapons owned by the terrorist group Hezbollah, according to new reports.
The reports come at a time when USAID’s funding is under attack and the agency is being defended by Democrats such as Democratic Sen. Chris Coons of Delaware, who called USAID “smart power,” according to Fox News.
The packages were found in Lebanon, an Israel Defense Forces soldier said, according to the New York Post.
“From the American taxpayer to Hezbollah, with love,”
Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) pushed a bizarre explanation for why women might not pursue jobs in manufacturing.
Schakowsky made her remarks on Wednesday during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled “AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies.”
Schakowsky suggested that perhaps the reason fewer women choose a career in manufacturing is that the term has the word “man” in it.
Schakowsky stated, “Yesterday, I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing. I asked them, ‘How many of those students that are signing up and want to do this, how many are women?'”
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the quiet part out loud during a House Financial Services Committee hearing on Wednesday, revealing the Democrats’ true concerns about DOGE and Elon Musk.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Elon Musk on Tuesday announced DOGE will start looking into federal government workers who have managed to acquire tens of millions of dollars while working on the taxpayer dime.
“We do find it sort of rather odd that there are quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have essentially a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars

One can't help but notice that, while politicians and political activists on the left are constantly whinging on about political violence and denouncing violent rhetoric at every turn, they sure don't put their money where their constantly-working mouths are. From Lee Harvey Oswald to modern times, the vast majority of political violence - actual violence, not a refusal to use preferred pronouns or wondering why people can't pay for their own sex-reassignment surgeries - has come from the left.
Here's yet another example, and from a sitting Congressman, at that: Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) called out another Congressman, Robert Garcia (D-CA), on Thursday for calling for "actual weapons"
Why Government Computers Are Such a Mess

Every so often, I get reminded that I'm old, and I've been programming for almost 60 years, which is a long time. But 60 years in the business means I've seen a lot of things that young naïve programmers have never seen.
This comes up often when people talk about DOGE and the Wizards Academy Musk has put together to help investigate fraud, abuse, and, probably most of all, bureaucratic stupidity.
One of the things I see people — technical people, but young — saying about things like Social Security and the IRS is things like "just dump the whole database into Hadoop."
When our kids were growing up, my husband and I practiced something called "reality discipline." The term was coined by psychologist Kevin Leman, who posited that children need to experience the "natural consequences" of their behavior. (Snip) Leman's advice came to mind as I watched Elon Musk and the DOGE boys reveal the tsunami of government pork that has sent our federal deficit into a death spiral. All but the most partisan left-wing Americans are asking, "Why is the government spending money on this crap?"
One thing no one's talking about, but perhaps we should, is how much we're spending on AIDS/HIV programs.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on Meet the Press to discuss his position toward ending the conflict with Russia. Within the conversation [04:11], Zelenskyy said, “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.”
President Zelenskyy represents the interests of the European Union, multinational corporations, various elements of NATO memberships, the World Economic Forum, the CIA division within the U.S. State Dept., western banks and a confab of various western intelligence operations. After that, he represents the interests of Ukrainians. This is why he will not permit elections. (Video)

CBS News was a dumpster fire on Sunday. Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan thought the Nazi Holocaust occurred because there was too much freedom of speech and the press in Germany. Then, 60 Minutes decided to produce a segment about Germany waging a total war on freedom of speech, taking offenders away…on a train ride. Finally, there is this pity segment on government workers who are lost after getting fired.
Rush: Four Years On

Four years ago today, just about this time, I was pottering about getting ready to guest-host The Rush Limbaugh Show when the telephone rang. It was Kraig Kitchin, his longtime friend (and head of the network that distributed his show), calling to break the news that Rush had died earlier that morning.
Post-Limbaugh talk radio seems smaller to me than it once did - not just because Rush had a big personality, but because he managed to fit the flotsam and jetsam of the news cycle into the big picture.

You know how the Democrats have been whining about the youthfulness of the Department of Government Efficiency staffers, claiming that Elon Musk’s DOGE team couldn’t possibly understand what they’re doing because some are in their early twenties and at least one is in his late teens?
Yeah, well that same bunch voted in early February to make 24-year-old liberal activist David Hogg the vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Hypocrisy, much?
As our friends at PJ Media reported, Hogg’s already wearing out his welcome because he seems to be using his new position as a giant personal piggy bank:
In determining citizenship, the United States has a very unusual approach. You’re a citizen if you were born here. (You’re also a citizen if you were born abroad under certain circumstances, but that’s a different issue.)
That’s a bit crazy, because it means that if a woman (aren’t you glad we don’t have to refer to them as “child-birthing persons” anymore?) makes it into the United States, legally or illegally, in time to give birth – right on the north bank of the Rio Grande, for example – her baby is an American citizen.
The mother doesn’t magically become an American citizen by giving birth in America,
Jessica Tarlov, one of the liberal voices at Fox News, made a hilarious claim on a podcast last week that I couldn’t help but laugh at. According to her, the “chaos” of the Trump administration is already turning off his voters.
Her proof? She shared a conversation she supposedly had with a 20-year-old college student from the Midwest who comes from a conservative, pro-Trump family. The student, who had previously reached out for career advice, recently emailed Tarlov to express his changing perspective on Trump.
“I’ve really appreciated hearing what you have had to say the past week on ‘The Five’ and your podcasts with Scott,”
Well, this is interesting. What a surprise. Dirty Judge Jack McConnell, who believes he was recently elected US president, halted President Trump’s current spending freeze. But Judge McConnell is not some innocent bystander. Judge McConnell’s organization has received $117.6 million in government funding in total (ending in 2023). Maybe that’s why he wanted the money to keep flowing. He’s expecting several more million this year!
CRY MORE, Michael Steele: Fmr. RNC chair

takes TDS rage to new level with entertaining meltdown 20 replies
The former chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC) delivered an insulting on-air fit of rage over Elon Musk and his presence at the White House.
Michael Steele’s drama-filled meltdown on MSNBC included calling on Democrats to “get off your fat ass” and do something about President Donald Trump’s power and Musk’s work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
“What would you have us do?” Symone Sanders Townsend asked Steele on “The Weekend.”
The former RNC chair erupted in his response. (X) “I would like you to show that you give a damn!” Steele replied.
“That you got a little emotion about the fact that people are losing their jobs indiscriminately!
Half of New York City’s deputy mayors dramatically resigned Monday in the wake of Eric Adams’ controversial reprieve from his historic corruption case by President Trump’s Justice Department.
The resignations of Adams’ four senior aides — led by First Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer — thrusts City Hall even deeper into uncharted territory as the mayor faces mounting questions about whether he can govern the city.
The four deputy mayors — Torres-Springer, Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi, Deputy Mayor for Health Human Services Anne Williams-Isom and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chauncey Parker — resigned as a rally in support of Adams unfolded in Rehoboth Cathedral in Brooklyn.
Emergency crews are responding to a crash involving a Delta Air Lines plane that arrived Monday at Toronto Pearson Airport from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
CP24 in Canada reports as many as eight people were hurt in the emergency, though the extent of their injuries was not immediately clear.
The FAA released this statement following the crash:
Delta Air Lines Flight 4819, operated by Endeavor Air, crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada around 2:45 p.m.local time on Monday, February 17. All 80 people on board were evacuated.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared his willingness to deploy British troops to Ukraine “in harm’s way” to deter Russian aggression hours before he is set to join an ’emergency summit’ on the matter in Paris on Monday.
The United States and Russia are meeting to discuss the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia this week, but European leaders have not been invited to send delegations. Apparently prompted by being left behind in this regard, and likely too by the Trump White House’s suggestion that European nations actually decide what they are actually capable of doing on Ukraine, European leaders are meeting in Paris today for an “emergency summit”.
Parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic could be in for their biggest snowstorm of the season later this week if all the pieces come together, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
Confidence is increasing, with computer forecast models showing an impactful winter storm developing in the Plains and tracking across the central and eastern US. However, uncertainty remains about the system’s exact track and what the impacts will be for those along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor.
The energy for this storm moves out of the Rockies and into the Plains on Monday before heading east.
