Not to be insensitive, but oh, the humanity!
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) recently announced that it has put the kibosh on close to a billion U.S. tax dollars from funding outlandish overseas programs, including $10 million to “voluntary medical male circumcisions” in Mozambique.
U.S. taxpayers paying for circumcisions in Mozambique. Who knew?
In a Saturday post to X (formerly Twitter) DOGE announced a total of $729 million in savings, listing multiple ridiculous initiatives being funded by U.S. taxpayers with zero knowledge of where the money was going (emphasis, mine).

Roiling controversy has surrounded President Donald Trump’s announcement of sweeping changes at the US Agency for International Development, or USAID. The agency does supply humanitarian aid, yet it seems a portion of its budget goes to dubious propaganda campaigns worldwide. Little attention has been paid to the agency’s involvement with the CIA, particularly in creating the infamous 1974 Kissinger Report, which advocated for population control to further US “national security interests” in developing countries.

Those of us of a certain age remember the Yugo. It was a typically Eastern European automobile of the '80s and '90s, small, cheap, and bearing a questionable reputation for safety and reliability. They were sold here in the United States from 1985 to 1992, with a total of a bit over 140,000 sold. Few seem to survive today, but then, the American auto companies in these years were still recovering from the late '70s to early '80s quality slump themselves. In the States the Yugo picked up a pretty bad reputation;

While a Florida sheriff touted his department’s efforts to crack down on illegal aliens, efforts at interfering with ICE continued with a North Carolina woman confronting officials.
After advancing President Donald Trump’s plans for mass deportations as a priority in the state legislature, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a bill last week to empower state and local law enforcement to aid with federal efforts. Speaking with Fox News Digital, St. Johns County Sheriff Robert Hardwick explained how that work was underway to “take the tip of the spear and go to a different level.”

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.

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:

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.

A Times Square drug kingpin nabbed in an “around-the-clock” crack-peddling operation is back on the streets of the Big Apple — thanks to former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.
Johnny Perez, a 32-year-old convict nicknamed “Ghost,” was one of nearly 2,500 convicted federal criminals who had their sentences commuted by Biden on Jan. 17 before he left office — including at least three other dealers busted with him in 2021, records show. Federal prison records show that Perez, who was one of eight suspected drug dealers rounded up in a raid by the NYPD and federal agents, is listed as due for release in May

Democrats have cast the Trump administration’s ouster of eight senior FBI leaders as a “purge” and act of “retribution” from a weaponized Justice Department, some likening it to President Nixon’s “Saturday Night Massacre.”
But former colleagues of the terminated “G-men” say this narrative is backward. FBI officials, past and present, have marshaled significant evidence via whistleblower complaints and testimony indicating that several terminated leaders routinely used their offices for partisan purposes.
These include allegations that at least two of the fired officials, Jeffrey Veltri and Dena Perkins, manipulated the security clearance review process to personally and professionally punish conservatives, COVID-19 vaccine skeptics, and Jan. 6 whistleblowers who reported suspected bureau malfeasance,

It’s no secret the rollout of a federal program to expand electric vehicle fast charger access has been, well, rocky.
It just got rockier.
More than $104 million was allocated for new fast EV chargers in New Jersey via the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, or NEVI, program.
To date, the program has resulted in zero chargers for New Jersey. And at the start of February, in one of several executive moves, President Donald Trump announced he was freezing the NEVI program funds.
New guidance has to be issued and states have to be approved in order for new program funds to be disbursed.

A Canadian man faces several charges after federal prosecutors say he used an unmanned drone to photograph sensitive military sites in Brevard, including Patrick Space Force Base, a submarine wharf and a space launch complex at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base.
Xiao Guang Pan — whose Instagram page describes him as photographer and licensed drone pilot — was charged earlier this week with three counts of using an unmanned aircraft to photograph the Brevard-based defense installations without authorization from federal officials. Taking unauthorized photos of defense installations is prohibited by federal law.

When I read about cagey Gazans gaming an immigration program meant to facilitate Ukrainian refugees relocating to the United Kingdom, I thought that was insanity squared.
I mean, no one wants those homicide-happy, white/Anglo-Saxon/Christian/Jew haters plopping down in their hood and then paying for the privilege of supporting their doing so.[snip]
The 'integration, not immigration' crew hasn't done so well throwing the country's doors open.
When and if such a dark time ever descends upon us permanently in the United States, I'll be the one saying, 'Just shoot me.'
