  • Trump’s Looking to Strip Security Clearances from Bragg, James, et al

    Trump’s Looking to Strip Security Clearances from Bragg, James, et al

    Security Clearances

    According to the New York Post, President Trump is looking to revoke the security clearances of some very well-known people.

    I have read previously that about three million people in this country have security clearances. That seems over the top. Once they get clearance, they keep it forever.

    Targets for losing clearance include New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. They apparently need security clearances to get into courts and other secure facilities.

    The president said they all will be given “exactly the same” punishment as Biden and the Dirty 51 as part of his administration’s vow to hold government officials accountable for actions he regards as election interference or the mishandling of classified information.

    Bragg prosecuted Trump last year in the so-called “hush money” case, and James brought a civil fraud case against the president for supposedly exaggerating his wealth when applying for bank loans.

    Other possibilities include Biden’s former National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, who also was chief foreign policy adviser to Hillary Clinton during her failed 2016 presidential bid when he notoriously helped foment the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

    Also being looked at is Biden’s Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, who was involved in overseeing lawfare investigations against Trump and coordinating the DOJ response to the Jan. 6 riot.

    Andrew Weissmann, the lead prosecutor in Deep State Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russiagate ‘investigation’ of Trump is going to lose his access.

    Lawyer Mark Zaid, who represented Eric Ciaramella, the CIA analyst identified as the snitch in Trump’s political impeachment in 2019 over a perfectly fine phone regarding with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky regarding Biden Crime Family corruption is scheduled for losing clearance.

    Norm Eisen, who served as special counsel to the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee during the 2019 impeachment. He has been involved with every Trump lhoax.

  • Congress Illegally Spent $516 Billion Last Year

    Congress Illegally Spent $516 Billion Last Year

    Redstate published information about a Congressional Budget Office report indicating that Congress spent $516 billion in 2024 on programs without legal authorization. The $516 billion was associated with 491 expired authorizations of appropriations, and it is illegal.

    In a report titled “Expired and Expiring Authorizations of Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2024,” the CBO observes: “Historically, House and Senate rules restrict lawmakers from considering an appropriation if it lacks a current authorization.”

    Authorizations were expired. The legal authority for some of these payments expired 40 years ago.

    Most expired last year “1,264 authorizations of appropriations that expired before the beginning of fiscal year 2024 and 251 authorizations of appropriations that were set to expire by the end of fiscal year 2024.”

    Money is no object for the US government because they can just tax us or start-up the printing presses

    Our representatives are totally irresponsible as our debt and interest on the debt service grows out of control. Soon, we won’t even be able to pay the interest on the debt.

    They do anything they want.

    This is screaming out for an emergency audit. President Trump is absolutely correct in reviewing the financials of the government agencies

  • LA Mayor Bass Gets the Fire Rebuild Off to an Expensive Start

    LA Mayor Bass Gets the Fire Rebuild Off to an Expensive Start

    Mayor Bass is already managing the fire recovery questionably. She is using donations meant for the fire victims to hire consultants. She is hiring Steve Soboroff, a former fire commissioner and builder. He will be paid $500,000 for three months of work. Bass calls him the “Recovery Czar.”

    Steve Soboroff

    Three months of work at $500,000 sounds exorbitant.

    She is also hiring the Hagerty consulting firm from Illinois for an unknown cost. They will handle the complete project management.

    Hagerty specializes in disaster response and will respond to the city’s new official in the Emergency Management Department.

    The firm is based in the far-left town of Evanston, and the company’s owner is the 21st mayor of Evanston. The firm is focused on climate resilience.

    From Hagerty’s website:

    Reaching resilience is an ongoing process, requiring a myriad of planning and implementation activities that, together, move the needle forward on a community’s ability to withstand and more efficiently recover from disasters, from manmade to a changing climate.

    Within Hagerty’s body of resilience and climate-specific planning work, our professionals have helped communities address both the strategic and the tactical. Strategically, Hagerty has worked with communities to conduct Resilience Assessments, generate Resilience Frameworks, and craft Strategic Plans that identify resilience targets. Tactically, Hagerty has worked with communities to develop Redevelopment Plans, pushing beyond Post-Disaster Recovery Plans which focus on direct recovery from an event to build further by providing strategies and tactics to address resilience needs over the next 20 to 50 years. Additionally, Hagerty has crafted Climate Action Plans and Climate Adaptation Plans for communities and critical infrastructure alike, setting specific targets and identifying specific projects that lessen the impact of climate change to that community.

    Bass also suggested that she would bring on AECOM. It is a global engineering giant. They are hired to tackle the time-consuming paperwork that must be assembled to seek reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for wildfire-related expenses. The website has numerous articles on decarbonization, sustainability, climate change, etc.

    It sounds like she’s lining up an outside climate bureaucracy using donor money.

    Recently, Mayor Bass likely gave the police a stand down order as the police were about to arrest them. Hundreds of cops with zip ties, and just like that, gone. Protesters cheer, and the city burns.

    She is incapable of learning or functioning as an administrator.

  • Federal Workers Who Don’t Come to Work Monday Are Fired

    Federal Workers Who Don’t Come to Work Monday Are Fired

    Any federal worker who doesn’t show up in the office on Monday will be fired. Stephen Miller confirmed it.

    “If you refuse to come back to the office, you’re going to be laid off. Why would federal taxpayers be subsidizing Netflix watching at home?”

    Unfortunately, Biden set this up, leaving Donald Trump with the mess. He let everyone stay home during COVID and never called them back to work.

     

  • Sen. John Kennedy: We Give a Fortune to Terrorist-Linked Groups

    Sen. John Kennedy: We Give a Fortune to Terrorist-Linked Groups

    What Americans Want

    Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana lauded Elon Musk as a national hero for his relentless audit of government spending under President Donald Trump’s directive.

    “They’re very, ”very, very upset at President Trump,” Kennedy declared in his signature Southern drawl. “And they’re very, very, very upset at Elon Musk.” He called it the prison riot.

    “Musk is doing what the American people have wanted for years,” Kennedy said. “But in Washington, common sense is illegal.”

    Kennedy described it as a bloated, unchecked institution that had become a piggy bank for Washington insiders looking to throw money around the world, regardless of where it ended up.

    We Give a Small Fortune to Terrorists

    Kennedy detailed Musk’s discovery of U.S. taxpayer dollars allegedly finding their way into the pockets of terrorist-linked organizations.

    $164 million in USAID funding was reportedly used to support radical organizations worldwide, with $122 million of that sum allegedly going to groups aligned with foreign terrorist organizations.

    Millions of dollars reportedly flowed to organizations in Gaza controlled by Hamas, some of which, according to Kennedy, “called for their lands to be cleansed from the impurity of Jews.”

    Sen. Kennedy blasted Biden-era spending.
    • $1.9 trillion on the American Rescue Plan;
    • $1.2 trillion on the so-called Infrastructure Bill;
    • $1 trillion on the Inflation Reduction Act;
    • $280 billion in corporate welfare for Big Tech through the CHIPS Act
    Senator Rubio will revamp USAID. He’ll keep the good, but the chaff has got to go.
    • We’re giving money to support electric vehicles in Vietnam and a transgender clinic in India.
    • $20M for a Sesame Street program in Iraq
    • $56M to boost tourism in Egypt & Tunisia
    • $40M to build schools in Jordan
    • $11M to stop waste burning in Vietnam $
    • 164M for Serbia to fund radical groups worldwide
    • A DEI musical in Ireland & a transgender opera in Colombia
    • $7.9 million was funneled into a Sri Lankan journalism project to teach reporters to “avoid binary gendered language.”
    • $1.5 million dedicated to LGBT advocacy in Jamaica
    • $4.5 million spent combating “disinformation” in Kazakhstan
    • $2 million earmarked for sex changes in Guatemala

    “And that’s how we got $36 trillion in debt,” he said.

    “We’re literally sending American taxpayer dollars to change people’s genders in foreign countries while our own veterans are sleeping on the streets,” Kennedy fumed. “How does that make sense?”

    David Sacks Blasts the USAID Funding Leftist Groups Worldwide

    David Sacks blasted USAID for using American taxpayers to fund left-wing organizations and policies around the world.

    The Astroturf Movement

    “We’re in debt almost $40 trillion, and anytime anyone tries to cut anything in Washington, the whole city screams bloody murder. The question is, why? Well, now we know. The money is all going to them.”

    “New York Times, getting paid. Politico, getting paid. Bill Kristol, perennial warmonger, getting paid. Ukraine, like 11 out of 12 publications, getting paid. Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, was saying his political opposition is funded by USAID.”

    “In Poland, the left-wing political opposition is funded by USAID. BBC in the U.K. Every left-wing organization in the world seems to be getting paid by this slush fund at USAID, which distributes $50 billion a year. That’s a billion dollars a week. That’s a lot of money.”

    “It makes you wonder. The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people. That it’s grassroots, this is the exact opposite. This is astroturf. This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world?”

  • Washington Post: Elon & Team Gained Access to FEMA

    Washington Post: Elon & Team Gained Access to FEMA

    The Washington Post reported that Elon Musk and his DOGE team have gained access to FEMA’s grant programs. Employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency told WaPo they are fearful. They don’t want to end up like USAID.

    Many employees are undoubtedly sincere and hard-working, but some probably are not. Whether there is more corruption than Republican hurricane victims being ignored, we cannot say.

    One of Musk’s team is only 19 years old. An unnamed employee said he has a FEMA badge but no security clearance. Employees don’t think he should see their personal data. There really isn’t another way to review the agency’s effectiveness.

    “The agency spends the majority of its budget on grant programs, which are the main vehicles for helping people recover from disasters and rebuild their communities. Along with the agency’s best-known efforts to help people find temporary housing after disasters. FEMA set aside more than $3 billion for grants to state, local, and tribal governments for a range of security- and disaster-related activities in the current fiscal year, according to the agency’s budget. The grants are meant to help those governments repair facilities damaged by disasters, protect against terrorism, and assist with firefighter staffing and disaster preparation and mitigation,” WaPo reports.

    Are they more afraid we’ll find out they have a two-party system? Just asking.

    They say they are concerned about confidentiality.

    “These are public servants, and many could have gone to work in the private sector, but because they want to serve, they took these harder, lower-paying jobs to do work they could be proud of,” a former senior official said. “There is a great misunderstanding of the work they do and the role that they play.”

    No one believes that. Federal workers are routinely paid a third more than their private sector equivalents.

    I hope FEMA doesn’t disappoint us. USAID is held in the least regard of all the agencies, but their failures were still a shock.

    All this team wants to do is find the waster and potential fraud.

  • Fired FEC Chair Stunned She Can’t Get Into Work Emails, Computer’s Gone

    Fired FEC Chair Stunned She Can’t Get Into Work Emails, Computer’s Gone

    Ex-Federal Election Commission (FEC) chair Ellen Weintraub was fired last week but went to work anyway. She went on Rachel Maddow’s show to complain that she can’t get her work emails and they took her work computer. Weintraub also thinks her pass was deactivated.

    Hmmm. Maybe she wants to work for nothing?

    “Well, I’m still considering all of my options at the moment, but I will tell you that my email has been turned off. My computers have been taken. My pass, I believe, no longer gets me into the building,” Weintraub lamented during her Friday night appearance on MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show.”

    Weintraub, a Democrat, received a brief letter from the president on Thursday notifying her that she was fired.

    She shared a copy of the letter on the social platform X, writing that “there’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.”

    “If you look at the Federal Election Campaign Act, there is nothing in there about removing FEC commissioners other than in the normal course, which is you can replace them when their terms have expired by appointing a new commissioner who gets confirmed by the Senate,” Weintraub said on Friday. “That’s the way you replace FEC commissioners.”

    However, there is nothing that says they can’t fire an employee.

    Weintraub, a Far-Left Partisan

    Far-left Trump-hating FEC commissioner Weintraub opposes the Electoral College, a key element of our Constitution. She once wanted to start a probe into the National Rifle Association and Russia based on allegations pushed by the very shady Fusion GPS. Fusion is the firm that helped create the fake dossier.

    There was no basis for the accusation. Fusion made it up.

    Weintraub’s partisan history is long.

  • Violent Crime Up About 43%; Illegal Migrants Commit Far More Crimes

    Violent Crime Up About 43%; Illegal Migrants Commit Far More Crimes

    This is a repost of an article from mid-January. We’re reprinting to address some of the misinformation coming from legacy media about the so-called benefits of unvetted Illegal immigration, which is clearly illogical.

    Cheryl Atkinson discussed the discrepancies in crime statistics reported by the FBI and the National Crime Victim Station survey with Dr. Lott. This has been reported before, but people aren’t listening. They also discussed the high rate of crime by ILLEGAL aliens.

    John Lott, a crime data analyst who was a senior adviser for research and statistics in the Justice Department, which is over the FBI. He says the FBI crime stats shouldn’t be taken alone at face value.

    The FBI falsely claims violent crime is going down in the country. Professor Lott calls them “defrauding statements.”

    Has there been a big shift in what we count as crimes and how the FBI collects its statistics? Yes, says Dr. Lott.

    It’s Shocking

    “Starting in 2021, they had a new system for reporting this data to the FBI from police departments around the country. In 2020, 97% of police departments reported data. In 2022, 31% of police departments didn’t report any crime data to the FBI. Another 24% only partially reported data. So you had less than half of police departments in 2022 and 2021 reporting complete crime data to the FBI; that’s a huge sea change.”

    When the FBI doesn’t have stats, they just guess and aren’t particularly good at it.

    He pointed to two distinct databases that he says should reflect similar trends but have produced impossibly opposite results: the FBI statistics and the National Crime Victimization Survey, which tries to capture additional crimes that people don’t officially report.

    They Show Fraud

    The reason we have this National Crime Victimization data is we know most crimes aren’t reported to police. About 40% of violent crimes are reported to police. About 30% of property crimes are reported to police. Before 2020, those numbers tended to go up and down together. The reported and the National Crime Victimization data since 2020 have gone in completely opposite directions. So, for example, in 2022, while the FBI showed a 2% drop in violent crime and reported violent crime, the National Crime Victimization data showed a 42% increase in violent crime. That’s the largest yearly increase we’ve ever seen in that measure, going back 50 years.

    Other factors that could make the crime rate seem lower than it is are short-staffed police departments with fewer officers to make arrests and prosecutors not prosecuting some crimes.

    What’s happened is unreported crime has increased. Okay? Because people say, I’m only going to report these crimes if I think the guys can get arrested.

    Since Joe Biden became president, Dr. Lott believes that violent crime has gone up by about 43%.

    Legal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans, while illegal immigrants have higher rates of violent crimes.

    This points to another statistical trick. A flood of studies implies illegal immigrants are more law-abiding than US citizens. Our study found that legal immigrants are less likely to break the law than people born in the US, but the studies often group legal immigrants in with illegal immigrants.

    Dr. Lott did some work for the county prosecutors in Arizona a few years ago. He found that in their state prison system, you have significant differences between legal and illegal immigrants.

    Legal Immigrants seem to commit crimes at very low rates. Their share of the prison population was well below their share of that of the state population. Illegal immigrants, though, had a very high rate of crime, particularly very violent crime, and everything from kidnappings to murders compared to the general population.

    “Usually, in discussions, they mix the two together, and then they’ll get a rate that could be roughly similar or maybe even slightly below what it is for native-born Americans. And I think that’s very misleading to lump those two groups together.

    “In fact, illegal immigrants have made up a disproportionately high number of prison inmates in America, indicating they commit far more serious crimes.

    “A decade ago, when illegal immigrants made up about one in 30 of the US population, they accounted for a shocking one in four or five US prison inmates, according to GAO, that included 4.9 million arrests for 7.5 million offenses, including allegations of more than a million drug crimes, a half million assaults, 133,800 sex offenses, 24,200 kidnappings, 33,300 homicide-related offenses, and 1500 terrorism-related crimes.

    The discussion also touches on politicizing crime statistics and the renewed interest in nuclear power due to increased energy, demand, and environmental concerns.
