Independent Reporter Brought the Receipts to Shred The New York Times’ Anti-Elon Nonsense

/8 Comments/in , /by

The liberal media is truly giving itself fits over Elon Musk and his new position within the Trump administration, which is to helm the Department of Government Efficiency, which is uprooting the waste and fraud that’s infested Washington DC. Liberals have slowly replaced Trump derangement syndrome with Musk madness since the 2024 election. Ironically, Musk was recently an Andrew Yang Democrat.

DOGE has shut down USAID and is combing through every crack and crevice looking for government waste, which it has done by using AI to analyze the expenditures of these agencies rapidly. The Left is mad because all their slush fund vehicles are being pinched off. At the Oval Office yesterday, Elon Musk, his son, and Donald Trump took questions from the media as the president signed an order enhancing compliance between government agencies and DOGE, and The New York Times had a predictable headline for the occasion: “Musk Asserts Without Proof That He’s Fixing a Bureaucracy Rife With Fraud.”

The billionaire Elon Musk said in an extraordinary Oval Office appearance on Tuesday that he was providing maximum transparency in his government cost-cutting initiative, but offered no evidence for his sweeping claims that the federal bureaucracy had been corrupted by cheats and officials who had approved money for “fraudsters.”

Answering questions from the media for the first time since his arrival in Washington to run the so-called Department of Government Efficiency, Mr. Musk stood next to the Resolute Desk and asserted that his work was in the interest of the public and democracy. President Trump sat behind the desk, chiming in with approval as he let the world’s richest man expound for roughly 30 minutes on the rationale for the drastic overhaul of the federal bureaucracy.

The goal is to “restore democracy,” Mr. Musk said. “If the bureaucracy’s in charge, then what meaning does democracy actually have?”

Trump Talks With Ukraine President Zelenksyy Following Putin Call

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump spoke by phone with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Wednesday, the White House said, after talking earlier to Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending their long-running war.

In a Truth Social post, Mr. Trump said the conversation with Mr. Zelenskyy went “very well.”

“He, like President Putin, wants to make PEACE,” Mr. Trump wrote. “We discussed a variety of topics having to do with the War, but mostly, the meeting that is being set up on Friday in Munich, where Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will lead the Delegation.”

He said he is “hopeful” that the Friday meeting will be “positive.”

“It is time to stop this ridiculous war, where there has been massive, and totally unnecessary, DEATH and DESTRUCTION,” he wrote. “God bless the people of Russia and Ukraine!” (Read more from “Trump Talks With Ukraine President Zelenksyy Following Putin Call” HERE)

Trump Promises In-Person Meeting With Putin as Ukraine Talks Get Underway

/1 Comment/in , /by

An American president hasn’t visited Russia in more than a decade. That could change soon, according to President Donald Trump, who said Wednesday that he and Russian President Vladimir had agreed to visit “each other’s Nations” as part of an effort to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump promoted the potential trips in a social media post detailing his phone call Wednesday with Putin. It was the first announced conversation between the two leaders since Trump started his second term in office.

“We agreed to work together, very closely, including visiting each other’s Nations,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump added later in the day Wednesday that he would likely hold his first meeting with Putin since taking office for a second time in Saudi Arabia, though plans had not been settled.

A meeting anywhere in the world between the two leaders would garner headlines — but it would be especially unusual if one took place in the U.S. or Russia. Regardless of the location, analysts said suggestions of a face-to-face meeting are in line with Trump’s practice, in his first term in office, of holding high-profile summits with adversaries like North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Investigation Confirms Biden Was Behind FBI Raid at Trump’s Florida Home All Along

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A social media thread report from America First Legal charges it was Joe Biden who was behind the FBI’s raid on President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, all along.

That raid, a stunning armed maneuver against the 45th president of the United States, left armed officers raiding Trump’s home, allegedly looking for government documents, even reportedly invading the private possessions of Trump’s family members.

The raiders then staged photographs of various government documents in rows on the floor of Mar-a-Lago and released those images to the public to generate support for their claims.

The White House claimed at the time that it was all because of the need to retrieve those government documents, which later resulted in a massive federal criminal case against Trump, which dissolved when he was re-elected.

Incidentally, Joe Biden also was found to have had massive amounts of government documents in his possession, including in a stash in his unsecured garage, after his vice presidency, as was Trump Vice President Mike Pence. Both of them were given free passes for their actions. (Read more from “Investigation Confirms Biden Was Behind FBI Raid at Trump’s Florida Home All Along” HERE)

Inside FEMA’s Sickening History of Misspending Billions of Taxpayers’ Dollars — And Going Largely Unchecked

/42 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has mismanaged tens of billions of dollars over the years, according to numerous government reports into its spending.

The government agency’s response to COVID, hurricanes, floods and housing migrants have all come under fire for being wasteful and going largely unchecked — as the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been sent in to analyze its spending.

The most recent audit of the embattled disaster response agency claimed it mismanaged nearly $10 billion during the COVID pandemic between 2020 and 2023.

FEMA even approved a grant of $1.1 billion despite it only being supported by only a single piece of paper with no itemized costs, the Jan. 30 audit by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of the Inspector General found.

The request was also “not prepared by a licensed professional engineer or cost-estimating professional,” according to the 36-page report.

The Trump administration has called for a complete overhaul of FEMA, which has a slated budget of $65 billion for fiscal year 2025. (Read more from “Inside FEMA’s Sickening History of Misspending Billions of Taxpayers’ Dollars — And Going Largely Unchecked” HERE)

Trump Admin Axes FEMA Employees Behind $59 Million ‘Luxury’ Hotel Scheme

By Daily Caller. The Trump administration has fired four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees for sending $59 million in taxpayer dollars to New York City hotels to house and care for illegal migrants.

The firings come after Elon Musk, whose mission is weeding out frivolous spending within the U.S. government through his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) agency, highlighted the price tag in a social media post Monday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the firings Tuesday and referred to the payments as “egregious”.

“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” DHS said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Firings include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,” the statement continued. (Read more from “Trump Admin Axes FEMA Employees Behind $59 Million ‘Luxury’ Hotel Scheme” HERE)

‘No Exceptions’: Pentagon Schools Defy Hegseth by Renaming DEI Efforts

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In preparation for Donald Trump’s second presidency, the Pentagon’s school system attempted to conceal its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts under a different name.

The Department of Defense Education Activity agency renamed social-emotional learning as “resilience,” according to a Jan. 6 meeting recording obtained by The Daily Signal.

During his first two weeks in office, Trump issued executive orders prohibiting radical gender ideology, critical race theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion instruction from federally funded American education.

That includes schools on military bases run by the U.S. Department of Defense Education Activity, which operates 161 schools across 11 foreign countries and in seven U.S. states and two territories, and serves more than 67,000 military-connected students.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth made it clear that he would enforce the president’s ban on DEI at the Department of Defense.

“The Pentagon will comply, immediately,” Hegseth said. “No exceptions, name-changes, or delays.” (Read more from “‘No Exceptions’: Pentagon Schools Defy Hegseth by Renaming DEI Efforts” HERE)

Donald Trump Welcomes Marc Fogel to the White House Hours After American Teacher Was Released From Russia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump hosted Marc Fogel at the White House Tuesday night just hours after the American teacher was released from Russian custody.

‘I’m so excited,’ Fogel told Trump of being back in the U.S. after arriving at a snowy White House with an American flag draped around his neck.

As he shook the president’s hand, Trump rubbed Fogel’s arm and gave him a cordial embrace.

Both men smiled and celebrated the teacher’s release before heading into the warmth of the White House Diplomatic Reception Room.

‘I feel like the luckiest man on Earth right now,’ Fogel said inside as he fought back tears while holding a celebratory beer from his native Pennsylvania. ‘President Trump is a hero.’

He described his horrific detainment in Russia, where he claimed to have spent over 100 days in medical wards and received over 400 injections during his 3.5 years in prisoned there.

Expert Left Speechless by Trump’s Latest Masterful Plan Against Media and Dems

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump rolled back into the DC Swamp like a BOSS on a mission. Sure, in 2016, he took DC by storm—but not like this. This time around, it’s different. Everyone sees it and feels it, too.

Even some experts, like Mark Halperin, have been left speechless watching Trump steamroll not just the fake news media, but the entire Dem Party.

Mark says he’s never seen anything like this. Once again, President Trump is changing the game. He’s a man who has learned from the past—and now, he knows exactly how to play these bad guys like a fiddle.

But the shock and awe doesn’t stop there. Even CNN is at a loss for words over President Trump’s surging popularity.

Ousted From Power By Voters, Dems Turn To Activist Judges To Defy Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

What’s happening right now is that Democrats, having been thrown out of power by American voters in a landslide victory for Trump, have decided they’re going to deploy a widely-used tactic from Trump’s first term to thwart the president’s agenda: use the federal judiciary. Under the false pretext that the lower federal courts are part of a “coequal branch of government” with the executive, they’re aiming to shut down Trump’s reform efforts with a fusillade of preliminary injunctions.

In recent days dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration by Democrat attorneys general and various left-wing groups. These groups have carefully selected their venues, ensuring the lawsuits come before rabidly anti-Trump activist judges. So far, the tactic seems to be working. As of this past weekend, eight different rulings from the federal bench have temporarily halted the president’s executive orders.

Federal judges in Democrat-majority districts have issued preliminary injunctions blocking Trump’s executive actions to end birthright citizenship, reform and downsize the United States Agency for International Development, and offer buyouts to federal bureaucrats. A federal judge this past weekend blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and all other political appointees in the Trump administration — including the Treasury secretary and his deputies — from accessing payment data at the Treasury Department.

One judge even issued a restraining order halting a Trump order that would have ensured federal inmates are housed according to biological sex, not transgender identity, and also would have prevented tax dollars from being used to pay for “gender transitions” for federal inmates. (Another judge, appointed by Obama, took the extraordinary step of ordering the administration to pay back every cent of federal funding that’s been paused or canceled — and threatened anyone who violates his order with criminal contempt.)

What all this lawfare amounts to is a kind of judicial coup against the sitting president. By doling out injunctions like they’re USAID grants for LGBTQ awareness programs in Mali, Democrats have been able to hamstring key aspects of Trump’s agenda — at least for the moment. It’s a simple enough tactic. All Democrats have to do is shop for a venue to find the most activist, rabidly anti-Trump federal judges in the country, file their lawsuits, and wait for the injunctions to come raining down.

King of Jordan Tells Trump He Will Take In 2,000 Sick Gaza Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

King Abdullah II of Jordan told President Trump at the White House on Tuesday that his country would give refuge to 2,000 children from Gaza who are sick with cancer or other illnesses.

During a meeting with Trump on Tuesday, the king said to “keep in mind that there is a plan from Egypt” and other Arab countries, and that they had to look out for the best interests of the people of the United States, Jordan, and the Middle East.

“One of the things that we can do right away is take 2,000 children that are either cancer children or in very ill-state to Jordan as quickly as possible,” the Jordanian king said. “And, then wait for the Egyptians to present their plan on how we can work with president.”

In response to the king’s announcement, Trump described it as a “beautiful gesture.”

The king’s offer to take in 2,000 sick children from the Gaza Strip comes as the Egyptian and Jordanian governments have previously rejected taking in displaced refugees from Gaza. (Read more from “King of Jordan Tells Trump He Will Take In 2,000 Sick Gaza Children” HERE)
