/5 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, has made a startling discovery, saying there are more than 100,000 active federal employees illegally receiving unemployment benefits.

The DOGE chief revealed the stunning figure Saturday to Lara Trump, host of “My View” on Fox News.

“We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees, that are active employees, who nonetheless have applied for and received unemployment insurance,” Musk explained.

“While they are federal employees,” an incredulous Trump responded.

“Yes, and this appears to be at least 100,000 people,” Musk continued.

“Wow!” Trump said. (Read more from “Elon Musk Discovers 100,000 Active Federal Employees Illegally Getting Unemployment Benefits” HERE)

Elon Musk, DOGE Team Credit Fed Workers for Helping Trim Waste, Fraud: ‘There Is Conflict, but That Is the Exception’

By New York Post. . .Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team expressed their gratitude Thursday to the federal employees partnering with the cost-cutting agency as they work around the clock to eliminate wasteful spending and modernize the workforce.

The billionaire tech entrepreneur, 53, and several male staffers told Fox News host Jesse Watters that they’ve seen increased willingness from federal workers and agencies to collaborate with DOGE to improve government operations — noting that conflict is often a rare exception that’s heightened in the media.

“We’d like to just give a big thank you to all the government employees who are helping reduce the waste and fraud, because this is — we really couldn’t do it without you,” Musk said during a 10 p.m. staff meeting inside DOGE headquarters that was highlighted on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

“I’m not trying to sort of say all government employees are bad. That’s absolutely not the case. It’s just that there actually just does need to be a serious effort to reduce the waste and fraud. And we’re just making that happen,” the DOGE chief continued.

Trump Bans Federal Funding for ‘Dangerous’ Gain-Of-Function Research

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday banning all federal funding for “dangerous” gain-of-function research in China, Iran and other countries and blocking all federal funding for foreign research that could cause another pandemic.

The president signed the order Monday afternoon to improve the safety and security of biological research in the U.S. and around the world.

The White House said the order “will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Gain-of-function research typically involves modifying a virus to make it more infectious among humans. Gain of function research took place at the Wuhan Lab before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The White House said the order will protect Americans from lab accidents and other biosecurity incidents, “such as those that likely caused COVID-19 and the 1977 Russian flu.”

The president’s order ends any present and all future federal funding of gain-of-function research in countries with insufficient oversight of research, and it empowers U.S. research agencies to identify and end federal funding of any other biological research that could pose a threat to American public health, public safety or national security.

Sean Penn Compares Trump to a Spouse Murderer: ‘He Might Destroy the World’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump resembles a “jealous spouse who murders another partner” and he may “try to destroy the world” if any third-term ambitions were left unfulfilled, left-wing actor Sean Penn has grimly warned.

His dire forecast came during a joint appearance on Jim Acosta’s Substack podcast, The Jim Acosta Show, alongside Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell.

Oscar-winner Penn said, “I do think it’s a reasonable theory that Donald Trump is not unlike the spouse of someone who leaves him… who then murders their former partner because if they can’t have her, nobody can.”

Then he cautioned, “Trump and his solipsism may have that relationship with the world… this destruction is in part a power play. And also a literal intention of his final out,”

Acosta asked whether Penn believed Trump might make good on his threats to try and retain power after his second term. “I think he might try to destroy the world before he ages out of life,” Penn replied.

Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s administration released a budget plan on Friday that proposed drastic cuts across the federal government, including slashing the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s discretionary funding by more than 40%.

The budget referred to the federal government’s current rental assistance program as “dysfunctional.” NPR reported that it essentially called to end the Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8, noting that it would slash rental aid by roughly 40%.

According to the administration’s budget plan, the proposal aims to empower states to provide housing assistance “by transforming the current federal dysfunctional rental assistance programs into a state-based formula grant which would allow states to design their own rental assistance programs based on their unique needs and preferences.”

If adopted, the budget would place a two-year cap on rental assistance for able-bodied adults. It would also ensure that “a majority” of the funding went toward the elderly and disabled.

“A state-based formula program would also lead to significant terminations of federal regulations,” the budget continued. “In combination with efforts related to opening up federal lands, this model would incentivize states and the private sector to provide affordable housing.” (Read more from “Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program” HERE)

HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi convened the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government. The initiative follows on the heels of President Trump’s executive order signed in early February “to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government.”

Bondi noted a long line of abuses in the Biden administration.

“Biden’s Department of Justice abused and targeted Christians. Pro-life Christians were arrested and imprisoned for peacefully praying outside abortion clinics. The FBI spied on traditional Catholics in their parishes,” the attorney general said, noting President Joe Biden issued a proclamation celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.

Acting to fulfill the president’s executive order, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is asking its employees, contractors, and subcontractors to provide information “regarding any HUD or individual policies, practices, or conduct involving anti-religious bias” during the Biden administration and to make recommendations on how to remedy acts of bias.

The Task Force will collect information and ideas from federal employees, including HUD staff, that have experienced anti-Christian bias or other forms of religious discrimination. The task force will then compile a report on its findings. (Read more from “HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians” HERE)

Trump Makes Move To Super-Charge Deportations Using Local Cops

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is taking a major step to super-charge deportation efforts by deputizing law enforcement across the country to carry out immigration enforcement, a Department of Homeland Security memo exclusively reviewed by The Daily Wire reveals.

The memo lays out that DHS has signed 562 agreements with state and local law enforcement groups, taking advantage of a federal law that allows the agencies to enforce certain aspects of immigration law. While these sorts of agreements existed in the previous administration, the number of agreements signed since Trump took office is already a 316% increase from what was signed during four years of the Biden administration, the memo says.

The agreements could be one of the biggest keys to boosting deportation numbers, which members of the administration have reportedly grown frustrated with. With an estimated 18.6 million illegal aliens currently present in the United States and a judiciary that has continuously stonewalled the Trump administration’s attempts to deport illegal aliens, the federal government may otherwise struggle to remove a significant share of the illegal population without support from law enforcement partners.

Under the agreement, state and local law enforcement agencies are able to conduct immigration enforcement operations with ICE oversight, use federal immigration databases to identify the status of arrestees, and initiate ICE detainers to hold illegal aliens until ICE can gain custody of them, providing what could be a massive force multiplier in the Trump administration’s effort to deport at least one million illegal aliens per year.

Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

Trump said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI and Department of Homeland Security to reopen a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz, “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals” HERE)

Trump Will Start Nominating Federal Judges ‘Rapidly,’ He Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump will nominate federal judges “rapidly,” he told The Daily Signal on Sunday night.

“We’re putting them in rapidly and trying to get very good ones, but we need judges that are not going to be demanding trials for every single illegal immigrant,” Trump said on Air Force One. “We have millions of people that have come here illegally, and we can’t have a trial for every single person, that would be millions of trials.”

Trump is off to a slower start in nominating judges than his first term, having only nominated one federal judge, Whitney Hermandorfer, who will serve on the 6th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, Ohio.

About 100 days into Trump’s first term, the Senate had already confirmed a new Supreme Court justice, Trump had nominated an appeals court judge, and several other prominent judicial nominees were in the queue to be announced within days.

But according to the president, his slow start to judicial nominations is about to morph into a sprint. . .

“The people elected me in a landslide… We won every swing state… by big numbers… not only swing state, but the popular vote by millions of votes… they elected me, this was the number one issue,” Trump said, “and now we have judges that are radicalized, and they’re crazy because … if you believe this, they want us to have a trial for every person that came illegally into our country.” (Read more from “Trump Will Start Nominating Federal Judges ‘Rapidly,’ He Says” HERE)

ICE Nabs Rapists, Child Predators, Gang Members In Deportation Blitz

/0 Comments/in , /by

During the week marking President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, ICE agents carried out a series of high-profile arrests of migrants with criminal records, according to a document first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Starting the week of his 100-day mark, booking photos of illegal migrants with convictions or pending charges were displayed along the White House north lawn’s perimeter. Throughout the week, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) made major arrests across the country, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) releasing details and photos of five of their most significant cases.

“Every single day I receive a report on my desk of the murderers, rapists, child abusers, and other sickos that our ICE enforcement agents are arresting around the country,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on a social media post while showing additional arrests. “Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang. If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up.”

ERO Detroit arrested Ludwig Ivan Castaneda-Gonzalez, a 33-year-old Mexican national, this week in Holland, Michigan. According to DHS, Castaneda-Gonzalez’s criminal history includes a conviction for criminal sexual conduct involving a person aged 13 to 15, which encompasses all sex offenses under Michigan law.

Trump Names Possible Successors And Gives Answer On Third Term

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump hinted at who might carry the torch after his administration, offering praise for Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — while saying he’s not eyeing a third term.

In a May 4 interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Trump was asked about his political future and the next generation of Republican leadership.

“It’s far too early to say that. But, you know, I do have a vice president … and JD’s doing a fantastic job,” Trump said. “I don’t want to get involved in that. I think he’s a fantastic, brilliant guy. Marco is great. There’s a lot of them that are great. We have a lot of good people in this party.”

While some corners of the conservative movement have pushed for Trump to explore a third term — despite the clear constraints of the 22nd Amendment — the president appeared to downplay the possibility. (Read more from “Trump Names Possible Successors And Gives Answer On Third Term” HERE)
