Thursday evening, Elon Musk and some of his Department of Government Efficiency team sat for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on “Special Report.” The nerd dream team includes a former rocket scientist, a Houstonian who ran five successful businesses, and the billionaire co-founder of Airbnb. Musk said he thinks the team can cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion within 130 days. He and the other DOGE engineers gave some eye-popping examples of how scam-ridden federal programs have become.
Denmark on Friday found itself in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs. Trump appears to be honing in on what his administration is now arguing is a failure by Copenhagen to protect Greenland from Russian and Chinese aggression. [Snip] Vance said that Russia and China have been largely running unchecked in the area and "encroaching" on Greenland without proper protection from Denmark. [Snip] "When the President says we've got to have Greenland, he's saying this island is not safe,... A lot of people are making a play. ...Yes, the people of Greenland are going to have self-determination,..."We hope that they choose to partner with the United States.”
Tune in for Part 2 of the Elon Musk interview on "Special Report," Friday at 6 p.m. ET on Fox News Channel. [Snip] According to Musk, the rise in vandalism and attacks on Teslas stems from criticism of his leadership at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a federal agency that has cut millions in funding for government programs and reduced the number of federal jobs. He claims that rhetoric from Democratic leaders, especially those opposed to DOGE and his involvement, has fueled anger against Tesla and its supporters. "They are being fed propaganda by the far left, and they believe it," Musk said.

A Biden-appointed US attorney who resigned on President Donald Trump's first day in office had suffered from epilepsy before she died in her sleep, her family revealed.
Jessica Aber, 43, once the top prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia, was found unresponsive in her Washington DC home on Saturday. [Snip] ...Aber's family has told ABC News she suffered from epilepsy and epileptic seizures for many years. Such a condition could cause fatal asphyxiation or heart problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Fatal epileptic seizures, known as Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy, are rare, but are considered a major risk for people who suffer from the disorder.
A Greenlandic tourism business which was due to host Usha Vance has canceled the trip amid the Trump administration's 'underlying agenda' for the visit. [Snip] It was initially billed as a family-friendly holiday with Usha and one of her children... Then it emerged that she would be joined by embattled National Security advisor Mike Waltz, sparking fury among the nation's leaders--including the prime minister. But the final straw came when Usha's husband, Vice President JD Vance revealed he, too, would join her on the trip... [Snip] 'After closer consideration, however, we have now informed the consulate that we do not want her visit,' the store said.

The Atlantic's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg refused to reveal the status of the phone he was using when the Trump Administration added him to a top secret war plans group text. [Snip] He also told Darcy he was not concerned about retaliation from federal authorities for publishing some of the messages. [Snip] ...he is considering releasing more of the group chat messages. 'My colleagues and I and the people who are giving us advice on this have some interesting conversations to have about this,' Goldberg told Tim Miller on the Bulwark Podcast. 'But just because they're irresponsible with material, doesn't mean that I'm going to be irresponsible.'
President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order requiring people to provide proof of American citizenship when they register to vote and demanding that all ballots be reviewed by Election Day. The order requires government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms, directs the attorney general to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations and conditions federal election-related funds on states complying with federal election integrity measures. [Snip] Documentary proof of citizenship includes a U.S. passport, a REAL ID or military, state or federally-issued identification indicating American citizenship.
Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters suggested President Donald Trump should investigate and potentially deport first lady Melania Trump during an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles over the weekend. "When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he's going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,"
On March 7, I argued in The Federalist that President Donald Trump should ignore a Supreme Court that would allow lower courts to refuse to uphold the Constitution and instead encroach on executive authority. [Snip] They do not check executive power--they seize it, substituting judicial preference for the president’s constitutional role. Article II gives Trump, not judges, authority over federal agencies and the military. [Snip] If Congress will not curb this overreach through impeachment--and with a divided Senate it likely cannot--the president must step in. [Snip] The American people expect Trump to do the job he promised. In an unprecedented fashion, he is doing just that.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stern warning to those engaged in government fraud at the most recent Cabinet meeting on Monday. ...Bondi thanked Tesla CEO Elon Musk for uncovering "fraud, waste and abuse" through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative. [Snip] "We will prosecute you," the attorney general warned. "We have an internal task force now working with every agency sitting here at this table. And if you've committed fraud, we're coming after you. Thank you, Elon." Bondi also mentioned that, under Trump's directive, the Department of Justice (DOJ) will begin seeking the death penalty for those convicted of violent crimes.

Ohio could become the next state to protect children from obscene content online if legislation introduced last month becomes law. “We’re just trying to protect kids who are in the state of Ohio from adult content and the prevalence of obscene material in our society,”... House Bill 84, or the Innocence Act, would compel platforms to verify users are age 18 or older... [Snip] But the bill has found a powerful enemy. The so-called Free Speech Coalition, the “trade association for the adult industry” whose board is composed of porn executives, has targeted this measure. The FSC Action Center features a page tracking the bill among others it opposes.

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a speech to the nation notifying the Canadian people that the era of an economic and military collaborative relationship between the United States and Canada is over.
As the majority of Canadians cheer, the Prime Minister said that Canada as a free independent and sovereign nation will now embrace its connections to the United Kingdon and European Union and seek to replace their national dependency on the United States by severing ties in North America and entering a new era of close relations with Great Britain and Europe.
It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.
C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time.
The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos.

New York City's waste reduction efforts will commence a new phase next week, as the city's sanitation agency will begin enforcing a law-mandated composting program with fines.
Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation. While mandatory composting became effecting in October 2024, the law passed by City Council established a warning period until April 2025.
What are the food separation rules?
Sanitation officials say they have deliberately kept the rules simple for residents. All food, yard and food-soiled paper waste must be set out in a bin on recycling day.

Tesla has become a lightning rod for violent attacks and vandalism in the months since CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration. Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

New Mineral Draft That Would Recognize
US Support As Loans 20 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev. "Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."
"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"
Lawmakers and union members gathered on the Minnesota State Capitol steps on Thursday to speak out against Gov. Tim Walz’s plan for thousands of state employees to return to the office. Walz sent out a memo on Tuesday notifying government employees that starting on June 1, at least half of their shifts will have to be in person. The policy would affect about 15,000 of 40,000 state workers. “Workers are angry. Workers are threatening to quit over this,” said Rep. Luke Frederick, DFL-Mankato. “In conversations with the agencies, there’s questions about how even to implement this, about whether there’s even

Not surprisingly, Democrats who repeatedly told us amid the lawfare campaign they waged against Donald Trump that "no one is above the law" seem not to hold the same view when it comes to the suspected domestic terrorists who are firing gunshots, committing arson, and planting incendiary devices at Tesla dealerships and charging stations across the country. As we reported Thursday, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) is Exhibit A on this behavior, bizarrely proclaiming on Tuesday after the FBI announced an investigative Tesla task force that the Trump administration was engaging in "political weaponization of the DOJ" and "lawfare" because t
Late last night, President Trump signed an executive order "to end collective bargaining with Federal unions" at more than two dozen government agencies. In theory this puts an end to collective bargaining for more than half of all federal workers.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government.
The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.

Over a week ago, a video surfaced of a crazed white liberal woman on the New York subway completely melting down over a non-white Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat.
The footage captured her aggressively harassing the young man, causing a scene, and branding him a racist for no reason other than his choice of headwear. And the best part? She ended up humiliating herself in the process when she chased after him off the subway and wound up face-planting on the platform.
Well, that woman has been identified.
According to a report from the New York Post, she is “an increasingly ‘agitated’ creative director for several luxury brands.”
An Israeli biotech firm says it is nearing human trials for a breakthrough drug that could extend human lifespan by up to 30 percent by targeting the age-regulating protein SIRT-6, which the company says would also improve brain function, organ health, and overall vitality.
On Friday, Israeli news site N12 reported that Tel Aviv-based Sirtlab is preparing to launch clinical trials on a drug designed to stimulate SIRT-6, a protein associated with youth, vitality, and disease resistance. The treatment could be available within three years, pending successful trials and regulatory approval.

Mississippi has officially abolished its state income tax, positioning itself as a leader in the movement for economic freedom and limited government.
Republican Governor Tate Reeves signed the legislation into law Friday, declaring it a “generational victory” and a bold new chapter for working families, entrepreneurs, and freedom-loving Americans across the South.
“We did it, Mississippi!” Reeves wrote in a triumphant post on X. “We just eliminated the income tax!”
While Washington continues to suffocate the American people with taxes, inflation, and runaway spending, Mississippi is doing the opposite —

A trusted and treasured family member highly recommended finding/watching this Bret Bair DOGE interview for an insight into the brilliance and patriotism exhibited by Mr. Musk and the DOGE team. ~ As of March 27, 2025, DOGE reportedly “has saved Americans $130 billion, or $807.45 per taxpayer.” Mr. Musk poined out that “when critics attack DOGE, they never attack any of the specifics.” They accuse DOGE of somehow doing something unconstitutional or illegal but they cannot point to any line of cost savings they disagree with. He went on to say DOGE is keeping Congress informed.
