Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reveals
another $580 million in DOGE savings from
bloated Pentagon budget

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unveiled another round of cuts to programs Thursday worth $580 million that he claimed were either “wasteful” or didn’t align with the administration’s agenda. With those cuts, Hegseth estimated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has found roughly $800 million in savings so far at the Pentagon. “They are not a good use of taxpayer dollars — ultimately that’s who funds us and we owe you transparency and make sure we’re using it well,” Hegseth explained in an X video while briefly ticking through a few of the savings.

WASHINGTON — President Trump reacted warmly Friday to a report that the US could be offered “associate membership” in the British Commonwealth.
“I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” the president wrote on Truth Social, linking to a report by the Sun that a proposal could be made by the monarch when Trump makes a state visit to the UK later this year.

Mexico’s Senate voted to approve a series of joint military exercises. In the coming days, 155 U.S. Marines will head south to train Mexican Navy infantrymen.
This week, Mexico’s Senate voted unanimously for the joint exercise, which calls for 53 Mexican troops to travel to California for training sessions. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is from the country’s ruling party, MORENA, pushed the move. Information by Mexico’s Naval Secretariat (SEMAR) revealed that the joint exercise is called Amphibian Phoenix 2025. In preparation for the exercises, Semar released a series of short videos showing
The New York Times on Thursday published an article in which it claimed Tesla owner Elon Musk was scheduled to meet with the Pentagon to be briefed on a top-secret U.S. war plan for a potential conflict with China. President Donald Trump denied the report and lashed out at The Times for spreading misinformation.
Four officials reportedly told The New York Times about the meeting, which was scheduled to be held in the Tank, a secure room typically reserved for high-level military briefings. It would have included senior officials such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other top military leaders.
A loony leftist recently received instant karma after trying to harass a Trump supporter in New York City.
An amateurish video posted on Thursday that has since gone viral shows a woke leftist lecturing a Trump supporter and whining to others on an NYC subway as the man defends himself.
“He’s a racist! If you voted for Trump, you are a racist!” she can be heard complaining.
“How can I be racist?” the Trump fan fires back while pointing out he is a person of color. As the woman continues her tantrum, the man turns to one of his friends and laughs before returning to defend himself against the woman’s insults.
House and Senate Republicans are still butting heads over the budget parameters needed to advance President Trump’s agenda, and nearly every one of them must be on the same page for the party-line bill to succeed.
It’s been three weeks since the House adopted a budget blueprint laying out that chamber’s benchmarks for sweeping tax and spending cuts that will be part of a massive reconciliation package that House Speaker Mike Johnson hopes to send to the president’s desk by Memorial Day.
Senate Republicans have agreed to the House plan for “one big, beautiful bill” for the filibuster-proof reconciliation process. But

As the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) looks to slash waste and correct inefficiencies, one DOGE adviser revealed it's "hard to really grasp the scale" of problems facing the IRS.
"A huge part of our government is collecting taxes. We cannot perform the basic functions of tax collection without paying a toll to all these contractors. We really have to figure out how to get out of this hole. We're in a really deep hole right now," DOGE representative Sam Corcos said on "The Ingraham Angle" Thursday.

DOGE employees, with the aid of a master key and DC Metropolitan Police Department officers, finally gained control of the massive office building in Foggy Bottom on Monday, ending a standoff by US Institute of Peace bureaucrats barricaded in their offices. On Monday evening, DOGE employees accompanied by MPD officers and high-ranking administration officials stormed the building using a master key provided by the building security service, precipitating a brief scuffle before the building was liberated.

‘Lone Gunman’ Theory Weeks After JFK Assassination 8 replies
A newly declassified CIA document, known as the “Donald Heath Memo,” confirms that the CIA, in the immediate aftermath of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, rejected the notion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
The 11-page document, authored by Donald Heath—a CIA officer assigned to the Miami Station during the early 1960s—details the agency’s intense investigative efforts following Kennedy’s assassination on November 22, 1963.
The memo details how the CIA’s Miami Station was mobilized in the hours and days following the assassination to investigate possible links between the Cuban government, Cuban exiles, and the Kennedy killing.
Fifty-one percent of Democrats and 73 percent of liberals oppose the deportation of a Hamas-boosting Arab migrant who led anti-Israel protests at Columbia University in New York, according to a poll by Rasmussen Reports.
The poll spotlights the Democratic Party’s risky entanglement in radical, anti-Jewish identity politics, much of which was imported by the party’s pro-migration laws and politicians. In mid-March, Rasmussen asked 1,219 likely voters:

I grew up in the shadow of World War II. It had been over for almost 30 years by the time I started school. Nonetheless, WWII was probably the most talked about subject in my history classes throughout. But the funny thing is, as close as it was, it seemed like it was ancient history. It was finished. The evil Nazis were vanquished, and the world had moved on. America and her allies had won, and there were new enemies to slay.
While too young to understand Vietnam when it was raging, by high school, I had a better grasp of world events, plus we were living on Guantanamo Bay,
A Vietnam War veteran in Michigan has reportedly received his military honors more than 50 years after he left the U.S. Navy. The awards arrived after a struggle to make records publicly available.
Vietnam veteran Karl Smith, who graduated from Muskegon High School in Michigan and enlisted in the Navy when he was 17 years old while still in school, received his service medals Wednesday, according to a report by WZZM 13. Smith, who was deployed to Vietnam and served in the Navy from 1969 to 1973, received five awards: the Navy “E” Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (Korea), the Vietnam Service Medal
The Democratic Party is a mess. They don’t have a message or a unified party, which makes for poor strategizing when taking on the well-oiled machine that is the Trump White House. The total capitulation on the budget fight is the clearest example of Democrats in total disarray. Yet, these structural flaws could be traced back to the 2024 election, where there are lingering internal squabbles over the expulsion of Joe Biden from the 2024 ticket. Still, even then, the former president reportedly continued to hamstring Kamala Harris, where some are noting how Slow Joe was always an albatross around her neck.

Democrats overwhelmingly selected former Vice President Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate in a Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came in second with 10% support. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all
Have you seen Michelle Obama’s new look? Well, if you haven’t, take a seat…because it’s a doozy. She is basically unrecognizable these days.
Michelle has ditched the sleek, polished look of her White House years and embraced something… uh, very different.
This was Michelle thenāasnip)
Her latest transformation includes a massive, boxy suit coat and a wrinkled men’s dress shirt—both oversized to the point of absolute absurdity. She’s paired the rumpled manly look with three towering braided buns stacked on her head like a wacky faux hawk crown. (snip) more like a Nairobi used car salesman

for Beating Teacher in ‘Synchronized
Physical Attack’ 20 replies
Two students in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, were arrested this week for allegedly beating a high school teacher in what police described as a “synchronized physical attack.”
The incident allegedly occurred at Dillard High School last Thursday when 19-year-olds Jayvis McClover and Roddrick McQueen approached a teacher and began “verbally threatening to attack him,” according to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
“The two, who are both enrolled at Dillard High School, then ‘intentionally launched a synchronized physical attack’ on the teacher,” per CBS News. “McClover and McQueen ‘repeatedly punched the teacher in the face and head with closed fists,’ causing the educator to fall to the ground, police said.”
Joy Reid argued on Thursday that Canada will never become an American state as President Donald Trump wants because they could beat their southern neighbors in a war.
Reid joined Don Lemon on The Don Lemon Show this week and balked at Trump’s continued push for America to absorb Canada. Canadian officials have pushed back on this being an option, but Trump has remained steadfast in his desire.
According to Reid, Canada would only become a new American state if the two countries went to war. She made clear her money is on Canada in that showdown.

A Kennedy Center employee was fired after making a Trump protest video that was mainly about himself – while naked, of course.
Travis Forsyth wasted 35 minutes in a video titled “Trump Declares War on Artists / Do I Quit the Kennedy Center?”
Lucky for him, the Kennedy Center made that decision very easy, and reportedly canned Forsyth who lamented his dilemma while nude with only a rainbow heart emoji covering his nether regions.
Forsyth took issue with Trump-appointed board members for the Kennedy Center with Trump being chairman of the board. Second Lady Usha Vance and Fox News host Laura Ingraham are also among those that triggered Forsyth.
German luxury auto manufacturer Audi said it is considering moving car production to the United States to avoid tariffs from the Trump administration.
Volkswagen’s subsidiary Audi brand said this week that it is examining various long-term strategies, including potentially shifting production to America, to deal with President Donald Trump’s restrictions on foreign imports.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said that the company is “currently assessing various scenarios for additional localization in North America – among other things, to be closer to the needs of local customers and to make ourselves more resilient to global economic uncertainties.”
Although no firm decision was made this week,

Of course, a man’s aesthetic would absolutely trigger the liberal ladies of The View. The Thursday edition of the ABC News show featured the cast having a collective meltdown over President Trump sprucing up the Oval Office with images and objects he enjoyed; you know, the thing all presidents got to do. The hot air was blowing as they freaked out over Trump’s choice of décor and suggesting he was acting like a “king” and feared for the future. The pearl clutching began with fill-in moderator Joy Behar fretting: “Is there no safe place to go anymore with this guy?”
“All the world’s a stage, and the men and women merely players,” wrote William Shakespeare in “As You Like It.” It’s a simple, straightforward metaphor: In the game of life, everyone has a part to play.
Furthermore, all the parts matter. Like your third-grade teacher told you (after giving you the smallest, lousiest part in the school play), “There are no small roles, only small actors. Go stand in the background and pretend to be a tree, or something.”
The metaphor actually works better with political parties than in the outside world, because political parties are closed ecosystems. In partisan politics, the “players” have clearly defined roles;
Tim Walz Apparently Thinks He Is a Woman
12 replies
Well, not quite. I used that headline for the sake of amusement, but Walz clearly does have a problem with how people perceive his masculinity, and he sure does seem to have an unnatural obsession with alphabet ideology, hanging around with young gay men, and a lot of less-than-masculine traits.
During the campaign, he pranced and danced, used his "jazz hands," kicked in excitement like he were a Rockette, and was, generally speaking, quite weird. Weird enough that after Harris put him out front for much of the campaign, she decided to put him in Witness Protection toward the end. He was as appealing as Herpes to most men.
