His Welcome at the DNC As He Makes It

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:

Heartbreak: DOGE Stops Funding of Circumcisions

in Mozambique, Saves Taxpayers $10 Million 12 replies
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.

Rush: Four Years On
24 replies
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,
N.J. got $104M to add fast EV chargers

freezing the money. 12 replies
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.'

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced Monday that some $4.7 trillion in payments from the Treasury Department were missing a critical tracking code which made tracing the transactions “almost impossible.”
The transactions were reportedly missing the Treasury Account Symbol, or TAS, an identification code which links a Treasury payment to a budget line item, according to DOGE, which described the use of such code as a “standard financial process.”
“In the Federal Government, the TAS field was optional for ~$4.7 Trillion in payments and was often left blank, making traceability almost impossible,” read an X post from DOGE.
Actor Robert Picardo, who played The Doctor on Star Trek: Voyager, said that America should cancel Presidents Day due to Trump allegedly canceling “our justice system” and other causes.
Picardo issued his decree on the social media platform Blue Sky.“Being that papers straws, The Gulf of Mexico and our justice system have been recently cancelled, let’s cancel Presidents’ Day,” he said.

DOGE: report 24 replies
The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner reportedly resigned over the weekend after a dispute with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) over the Elon Musk-headed group’s efforts to access sensitive government records.
Michelle King, a career federal worker who had been with SSA since 1994, quit over the DOGE disagreement Saturday and was replaced by Leland Dudek, the Washington Post reported on Monday.
Dudek, who has been supportive of DOGE’s efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, will serve as acting commissioner of SSA until President Trump’s pick to lead the agency, Frank Bisignano, is confirmed by the Senate, according to the outlet.
ROME — Pope Francis is seriously worried about his health after being hospitalized with severe bronchitis, and is rushing to tie up loose ends ahead of the battle to succeed him. The pope was admitted to a special ward earlier this month in Gemelli Hospital in Rome with a respiratory infection, and he has since been forced to cancel a number of public appearances. (Snip) As his health has deteriorated over the last month, Francis has also moved to complete key initiatives and appoint sympathetic figures to key posts, following a progressive-tinted papacy marked by bitter ideological divisions. Since he became

The ‘leaders’ of Europe got together in Paris, France at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss how to handle a peace agreement if Putin, Trump and eventually Zelenskyy come to terms. The outcome perfectly encapsulates the EU.
After essentially saying the United States would not send military troops into Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping mission, President Trump sent a communique to each of the leaders, “asking them to spell out what they would be prepared to offer to enforce a peace agreement,

The Washington Post is reporting that DOGE fired thousands of government employees over the weekend, many of whom were on probationary status often reserved for new hires.
Many federal government employees were dismissed over the holiday weekend as managers confronted a Trump administration demand to fire workers by Tuesday. In group texts and in online forums, they dubbed the error-ridden run of firings the “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.”
The firings targeted new hires on probation, who have fewer protections than permanent employees, and swept up people with years of service who had recently transferred between agencies, as well as military veterans and people with disabilities
Kamala Harris Signs With CAA
19 replies
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has signed with CAA for representation in all areas, with a focus on speaking engagements and publishing. CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout decades-long career in public service.
This marks a return to the agency for Harris, which previously represented the then-U.S. Senator prior to her being sworn in as the 49th Vice President
Last November, Democrat fraudsters bypassed the presidential race and focused instead on the down-ballot races. In Florida, local Democrat candidates received more votes than either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris at the top of the ballot. Something was definitely amiss.
For instance, Republican Rocky Rochford was running against incumbent Democrat Kathy Castor for the U.S. House seat in Congressional Race 14 (FL-14). The district straddles Hillsborough and Pinellas counties and includes the cities of Tampa and St. Petersburg. Castor was declared the winner, but Rochford is now contesting the race, claiming voter fraud, primarily by vote-by-mail ballots.
This weekend, Kamala Harris took in some Broadway.
And she reminded America that we truly dodged a bullet by not electing her.
She and her husband Doug Emhoff met with the cast of “A Wonderful World: The Louis Armstrong Musical,” and she gave a pep talk that was in the style made famous by Damon Wayans’ “In Living Color” character Oswald Bates — a jailbird who delivers soliloquys which are merely a string of big words that amount to a whole lotta nonsense.
In the video, she was stumbling and bumbling through yet another word salad filled with meaningless platitudes.
To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, there are two ways to descend into autocracy: gradually and then suddenly. Right now, we are on the bullet train.
With President Trump in office only a month, many say his “shock and awe” campaign — issuing executive orders to abolish birthright citizenship, defund national health, invade sensitive Treasury payment systems, shutter USAID, impound funds allocated by Congress, fire civil servants and the like — puts us well on the road to autocracy. And the presence of his satrap, billionaire Elon Musk, makes even Republicans nervous and underscores the anxiety over where we are headed.
The Democrats are stunned, wringing their hands.
Media elites are calling for a national boycott of President Donald Trump in response to the Associated Press’s feud with the White House.
If the establishment media boycott Trump, networks would likely suffer financially, while their biased coverage would not seep into the national discussion and distort the president’s actions. Americans’ trust in the establishment media to report current events “fully, accurately and fairly” plummeted to a record low in 2024, Gallup polling found in October.
